Hongmen Banquet Borrowing Food

The other side.

late at night.

Jialu Mansion, Chuzhou.

Jia Lu received a reply from the court and his resignation was rejected.

What's more terrible is that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty also ordered him to assist Pingzhang Jiaohua in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and Dong Tuanxiao, the general manager of Jining Road, to besiege the Red Turban rebels in Shouxian County, Anfeng Road.

However, to get to Anfeng Road and Shouxian County, you have to pass near Dingyuan, unless you take a long detour.

But there is a big problem with taking the long way around. The cost of money and food will inevitably double, or even more.

However, almost all of Chuzhou's money and food were spent on the construction of the Yellow River, and there was not much left.

Therefore, walking a long way is impossible.

After much deliberation, I still decided to go through Dingyuan.

The courtyard is filled with five tables.

Cheng De seemed not to notice everyone's appearance and calmly chose a table to sit down at.

Everyone bowed their heads in despair.

In order to comfort themselves, they all silently set up a tombstone for Cheng De in their hearts.

Co-author, we stood outside the General's Mansion for such a long time and were treated to clear rice porridge.

Cheng De nodded with satisfaction, "When I entered Sizhou City yesterday, I saw that the construction of Yangma City has been completed. But don't stop making cement. It will be used later, but you will have to work hard for a while!"

Suddenly, "ta-ta-ta-ta-ta"

"Yes, brother!"

He saw everyone still standing not far away and looking at him coldly.

Unexpectedly, he was asked to fight against the rebels in Shouxian County.

When Luo Mao heard this, he said nothing more.

If that's the case, let's fight!

Jia Lu sighed and sat slumped on the ground.

"Okay, don't hang around here anymore. Invite those who haven't come according to the list! When everyone arrives, let those big grain merchants enter the general's mansion again!"

After all, it’s a thousand stones of food!

Kill me!

One serving per person.

But he didn't dare to say a word.

Hey, the situation is stronger than the people, sign it!

Moreover, he also felt that Cheng De did nothing wrong.

That's right, it was borrowed rather than sold, because Cheng De changed his mind temporarily.

Cheng De gave an order, and the big grain merchant who had been waiting outside the general's mansion entered a large courtyard in the mansion.

"After I deal with the big grain farmers later, we must pay close attention to farming in Sizhou City, Xuyi City, and Dingyuan City. We have taken these three places and have a lot of open land in our hands, which can be allocated to everyone.

The common people in the land sow it, and as for the grain seeds, these big grain merchants must have stocked up a lot, and you can borrow some from them."

This time in the court, he became more and more confused. Previously, Prime Minister Tuotuo, the right Prime Minister of Zhongshu, refuted the officials and insisted on building the Yellow River. Then he was sent to build the Yellow River. This construction lasted for a long time.

He Sanwu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and for a moment, his expression suddenly turned ugly: "Brother, yesterday you asked me to check if there is any cannibalism in the city. I have investigated carefully and found that there is indeed a total of five people. So far, there have been

He was controlled and imprisoned in Sizhou City Prison."

If it's about the brain, everything else doesn't matter.

a long time.

After Cheng De saw everyone sitting down, he sighed, "As you can see, our Sizhou army is very short of food! What we eat every day is this clear soup and water, as a way to fight against Yuan soldiers and defend Sizhou City.

The safety of the people is our duty, but if we don't have enough to eat for a long time, we can hardly hold the weapons. If the Yuan soldiers come, everyone here will definitely lose their lives!"

soon.

"My father was loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, but he didn't expect it and ended up like this. My father once advised the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty: the construction of the Yellow River should be slowed down, otherwise there will be disaster. However, no one listened, and he lost his life because of it."

Luo Yan looked a little sad.

This silver hairpin was one he carefully selected from Dingyuan's treasury.

How dare you say not to let us blame you!

They all exhaled the fragrance in their hearts, and in just a few breaths, they greeted Cheng De's eighty-generation ancestors several times.

"I like the general's gift very much! Thank you, general!" Luo Yan's voice was choked with sobs.

The study room of the General's Mansion.

Cheng De couldn't help but stare blankly, but his face quickly regained its composure.

Cheng De fell silent upon hearing this.

In other words, no one is good.

So shameless!

He Sanwu returned and told Cheng De that all the big grain merchants in Sizhou City were here!

Cheng De cheered up and said, "It's time to meet them!"

If anyone dares to refuse to sell grain to him, then just wait until he is liquidated!

Is it you who is tough, or my sword who is sharp?

But I always feel uncomfortable in my heart.

The next day, it was sunny.

Luo Yan was so shy that she lowered her head and glanced secretly in Cheng De's direction.

They had already thought of the inscription: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, filial piety, loyalty, trust, etiquette, justice and integrity!

Really wait and see!

"This is my gift to you, do you like it?" Cheng De took out a silver hairpin from his arms and handed it to Luo Yan.

"Is everything going well in Sizhou City these days when I'm not here?" Cheng De picked up the bowl and quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice porridge.

When all the big grain merchants saw this scene, their eyes nearly popped out.

"If you are willing to donate food, just sign it. If you are not willing-" Cheng De paused for a while and looked at everyone.

But would the rebels in Dingyuan let him pass under their noses?

So, everyone gritted their teeth and signed their names.

If it were him who had taken Dingyuan with a steady attack, he would definitely be able to reach Shouxian County before the beginning of December.

"I didn't expect it to be like this! From now on, as long as I am here, no one can bully you. I will take care of you for the rest of your life." Cheng De said softly.

He thought that the previous defeat was due to Tulu's carelessness.

In his opinion, this beating can also make those grain merchants understand the situation: who is in charge of Sizhou City.

When the big grain merchants saw this battle, their faces changed drastically and their eyes showed fear.

Everyone felt their scalps numb, but when they squinted at the armored soldiers around them, smiles that were uglier than crying appeared on their faces.

He thought to himself: Brother, this borrowing seems to have a lot of knowledge in it.

This was Cheng De's secret instruction to He Sanwu to do this, to put some pressure on these big grain merchants so that they could change their tune on the matter of borrowing grain.

Those who came were none other than He Sanwu's five hundred people from the prison camp.

Cheng De paused and said, "The content is as follows: So-and-so is willing to donate a thousand dan of food and to assist General Cheng De in his great cause of fighting against the Yuan Dynasty. He hopes that the general will kill all the Yuan people and, if possible, leave some Yuan people's heads for urination."

The pot is used as a commemoration for future generations to admire on a certain day of a certain year and month."

In this case, you don't have to be afraid when you take action.

After glancing at the list on the note, Cheng De sneered: "Check these people to see if anyone is alive."

Moreover, during this period, there was a rebellion against thieves!

Now that the Yellow River has been built, I thought I could rest for a while.

After comforting Luo Yan for a while, Cheng De asked her to go about her business.

He Sanwu hesitated, "Brother, yesterday - didn't you say?"

I almost forgot about this hairpin because of my busy schedule.

"Some people may say, how is it possible? As long as I donate some property and food to the Yuan army, I can still live the happy life before. But today I accidentally wrote an official document and prepared to announce it in the whole Sizhou City. It's just a coincidence.
