Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

The city of Chang'an was as calm and peaceful as ever. With Lu Bu's departure, the market during the day seemed to be much more lively than before.

Xu Rong didn't know where the opponent's attack would come from, so he was always on guard and monitored everyone closely.

"The price of food has become much cheaper recently." In Jia Xu's house, Jia Xu, who was yawning out of boredom, suddenly heard the words of the steward who went out to buy for the house.

This is not a big deal, but it is abnormal!

Lu Bu had spent a lot of food and grass in disaster relief before, and the local tax had just been implemented, and this year was another disaster year. In order to stabilize food prices, Lu Bu had been selling food at a fair price to the people, because many families took the opportunity to pretend to be ordinary people and buy food in large quantities. The government office There is also a purchase restriction order.

The Guanzhong gentry have always wanted to use this to bring down Lu Bu, especially now that Lu Bu is on an expedition to Nanyang and is short of food!

The official ration can't be any lower, it's meaningless, so the cheaper one should be the private ration!

Jia Xu turned around, looked at the steward and said, "Where did the price of food drop?"

"Master, the price of food in the city, except official food, has dropped." The steward smiled: "Now let alone the city, the people outside the city have flocked to Chang'an after hearing the news!"

Jia Xu smoothed his beard, his eyes narrowed slightly on his fleshy face, almost invisible.

Are you about to take action?

Jia Xu shook his head and walked leisurely on the streets of Chang'an City as usual. Now that he has gained Lu Bu's trust, there is no need for Fatty Dian to guard him. But don't tell me, without Fatty Dian by his side, Jia Xu feels lacking. some sense of security.

Looking at the suddenly bustling streets of Chang'an, Jia Xu, who is dressed in plain robes but is white and fat, is a little eye-catching. After all, there are very few rich people wearing plain clothes these days, but a family with such a white and fat family who can afford food is definitely not bad. In fact, Very weird.

Jia Xu seemed to be rushing through the door. He first went to the Yin Yamen Office in Jingzhao and then the City Health Department. He visited all the major Yamen offices in Chang'an. He looked very friendly and could chat with people. , talked for a long time, and then went to the next government office aimlessly. After wandering around in the crowd, he appeared at the City Health Department again in the evening.

"Sir, you really have a clever plan. Someone is really following you secretly." People from the City Health Department welcomed Jia Xu in, and Xu Rong led him into the back hall and said with a smile.

"Please general, please send someone to my home to tell me that I will be out visiting friends these days and will come back in a few days. Don't miss me!" Jia Xu sat down and saluted Xu Rong.

"Sir, aren't you going back?" Xu Rong said unexpectedly.

"The chaos is coming. There are many people watching secretly when we go out. If we go back, we may not be able to protect ourselves during the chaos. It is better here, the general." Jia Xu shook his head.

Near Xu Rong's city guard office, there are scouts who are best at investigating and are keeping an eye on everything. It's impossible to set up spies here.

"How did you know that the chaos was coming?" Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu in surprise.

"The price of food in the city has dropped." Jia Xu took a sip of the hot wine handed over by Hao Zhao. After wandering around the city on this cold day, it was comfortable to drink a cup of hot wine to go away the cold.

Food prices dropped?

Xu Rong sat down and looked at Jia Xu in shock.

"Now that my lord is on an expedition, there is a shortage of food. Instead of raising prices and causing panic, those Guanzhong nobles are obviously helping my lord by lowering their prices. Does the general think these people are really willing to help my lord stabilize his rear?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

"That's it." Xu Rong said with a smile: "Can you tell how these people are going to take action?"

"For the people in the countryside to learn about the price of food so quickly, I guess there are some kind-hearted people traveling around to tell them." Jia Xu looked at Xu Rong and asked, "It seems that the general also knows something is fishy?"

Xu Rong nodded: "The city guards will check the people entering the city every day. There is a huge difference between the number of people entering the city and the number of people leaving the city in the past few days, but there are no refugees in the city..."

Jia Xu praised: "My lord is really wise in choosing a general to take charge of Chang'an!"

"I wanted to ask sir for advice in the near future, but he came here all by himself." Xu Rong said with a smile after saying a few polite words.

Before leaving, Lu Bu had told him that if he had any undecided matters, he could ask Jia Xu. Xu Rong had originally planned to go to Jia Xu to ask for advice, but Jia Xu himself came first.

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. Since he knew that chaos in Chang'an was imminent, as a confirmed member of Lu Bu's party, and without Dian Wei around to protect him, Jia Xu naturally had to find a safe place.

Xu Rong's place is obviously safe enough. As Lu Bu's remaining guard general, he can be trusted by Lu Bu to support the rear. Jia Xu believes that Xu Rong is capable, so he comes, and Xu Rong does not disappoint him. With Xu Rong, even if he loses in the end, his life is not in danger.

"Since the other party is about to take action, Mistress..." Jia Xu looked at Xu Rong and suggested.

Lu Bu values ​​his family even more than his rights. Jia Xu has a clear understanding of this. If anything happens to Lu Bu's family, Jia Xu is worried that Lu Bu will go berserk!

"Don't worry, sir, the general has already asked the mistress and the young master to come out and move them to a safe place! No one will notice. Others only know that the master's family members are still in the house." Xu Rong said with a smile.

As for how it was removed, since Xu Rong didn't say it, Jia Xu wouldn't ask. This kind of thing is actually a great achievement and a skill, and it can be shown off by telling it. But if Xu Rong didn't say it, there was obviously something unspeakable, and people didn't want to say it. Jia Xu would never ask too many questions, it was easy to offend people.

After determining the basic bottom line, the next step is how to deal with it.

In fact, the opponent's strategy is not bad. In the art of war, this method can often be used to surprise. When Chang'an implements a curfew, using this method to send people into the city to hide them can indeed prevent the enemy from noticing. Effect.

Unfortunately, they met Jia Xu, who was very down-to-earth, and Xu Rong, who was rigorous and resourceful. They were easily defeated. Sadly, both of them had already begun to make plans. Still feeling complacent.

"If the enemy wants to occupy Chang'an, they must first seize the city gates. However, Chang'an has twelve city gates. It is difficult to defend them one by one. It is difficult for our army to take full advantage of our current strength, and we do not have enough manpower to deal with the chaos in the city, so in the end You will think that all parties only need to leave one city gate, and there is no need to waste too many troops here." Under the dim light, Xu Rong began to explain his plan to Jia Xu.

"The second is the palace. If your Majesty is captured by the enemy, or if your Majesty suffers any losses, it will be difficult to report to the Lord, so there should be someone to defend this place!"

"Slow down!" Jia Xu shook his head, pointed to the location of the palace on the map and said, "The walls of the palace are all manned. I'm afraid the general has not enough troops."

Xu Rong nodded. These places cannot be compromised, but the number of troops stationed in Chang'an is indeed limited.

Although the 50,000 soldiers and horses left by Lu Bu were quite a lot, they guarded the entire Guanzhong. Xu Rong had secretly mobilized some back during this period, but it was still not enough. He looked at Jia Xu with some doubts and said, "Mr. Na Yi." What should it be like?"

"Since it's not enough, why not use the palace as a bait, invite His Majesty to attack the city in advance, and then block the four gates after these people enter the palace..." Jia Xu looked at Xu Rong and said: "In this case, the general can do whatever he wants? "

"Sir, you mean..." Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu and made a killing gesture: "Kill?"

Jia Xu quickly shook his head: "Too much killing will harm the peace of the world. Besides, the lord wants to develop farming in Guanzhong and needs people. If the general kills like this, he will win in the end and it will be of no use to the people!"

Jia Xu has almost felt Lu Bu's pulse. It's best not to do this kind of wanton massacre.

"That sir means..." Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu in confusion.

"These are mostly tenant farmers from various families. Those who are willing to surrender and give themselves up to their masters will be spared their lives and only the culprits will be killed. There is no need to go on a mass killing spree. In fact, these people have no choice but to do so." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Anyway, what Guanzhong lacks is more farmland under the direct control of the imperial court for the migration of people from Nanyang. It also lacks population, but what it lacks are tenant farmers. As for those local gentry... As rebels, since they lose, they have to bear the consequences. The risk, handing over family property and life... is not excessive.

"In this way..." Xu Rong groped his chin: "The master has gained the land, you and I have gained the merit, and these tenant farmers..."

"We are all happy to be free!" Jia Xu said with a smile.

The sacrifice of a few people in exchange for the happiness of the majority. This strategy of mine... Although there is some killing, it is still based on benevolence. Since I followed the lord, the evil thoughts in my heart have become less and less, and they are all benevolence~

"Everyone is happy!" Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu, nodding with a little more awe. To destroy his clan, seize his property, and destroy his name, Mr. Wen He, who looked kind-hearted, really used a plan. It's extremely cruel!

"General, let's go and arrange it now!" After standing up and saluting Jia Xu, Xu Rong was ready to change his initial idea according to Jia Xu's words. Jia Xu's move obviously saved troops and trouble.

"General, wait a minute?" Seeing Xu Rong about to leave, Jia Xu quickly called Xu Rong. As soon as Xu Rong left, his sense of security suddenly became much weaker.

"Sir, do you have anything else to advise?" Xu Rong looked at Jia Xu in confusion.

"I've been here for a long time, but why haven't I seen General Hua Xiong? But he's on official business?" Jia Xu asked doubtfully.

As Lu Bu's generals who stayed in Chang'an, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong complement each other in wisdom and courage. Why do we only see Xu Rong but not Hua Xiong now?

"This..." The corner of Xu Rong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Jia Xu and said seriously: "General Hua Xiong has been in a bad mood these days. He doesn't want to see anyone. He has been playing with the young master."

Bad mood? Playing with the young master?

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, keenly aware that there was something fishy in this. However, as a cautious counselor, Jia Xu's first rule as a counselor is not to be curious about other people's secrets. The cause of many disasters is curiosity. This link, so...

"He is in the backyard, young master and the others are there. The city health office has been secretly expanded a lot. In order to avoid suspicion, the ladies are all in a connected house. If sir wants to see him, he should be able to see him if he goes there now. "

"That's it." Jia Xu nodded, stood up and said with a smile, "I haven't seen him for a while, so I'll go see him now."

"Farewell!"

"Walk slowly!"

After Jia Xu said goodbye to Xu Rong, he went to the backyard, only to see Hua Xiong sitting silently in the corner and ignored him when he came in.

"General, what's going on?" Even with his intelligence, Jia Xu didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Lu Lingqi teasing the little white fox, he asked casually.

"Lingqi doesn't know, but my uncle has looked like this since he took me here the day before yesterday wearing the same clothes as my mother."

In the corner, Hua Xiong suddenly raised his head and looked at Jia Xu with cold eyes.

Jia Xu's expression froze...
