Originally, the people of Liaodong were just curious about this news and were only worried that no one took the initiative to buy it.

As a result, I don’t know who started it. Suddenly, someone started to purchase a large amount of grain, saying that they should buy in large quantities before the price rose, otherwise they would not be able to buy it later.

One drives two, two drives four, and four drives sixteen.

Soon, the rush to buy storm that spread across the city, county and region began inexplicably.

What’s even more terrifying is that there is a problem with this robbery, and there are really some grain stores that are short and there is no food to sell.

Angry crowd broke into the store and beat it, rushed to the warehouse and saw that it was empty, and there were really not many bags of rice and grain for sale.

It's broken now.

It is the autumn harvest season, and this crop is just right to harvest, so Liu Yi quickly asked Gongsun Kang to collect grain urgently and use the money to buy grain with the old-fashioned men who are still growing grain. He bought some, but more people did not sell it and said they would keep it for themselves.

Before Gongsun Kang could force the levy and before he could take action, the news that the food was gone was exposed.

This is a bad thing.

It was spread out from ten to ten, and everyone rushed to the grain store to see what was going on. After seeing the truth, they immediately fell into panic. They looked for grain everywhere to buy grain, and searched everywhere for those grain merchants who sold grain very cheaply in the past, but they could not find anyone at all.

Then rumors flew everywhere.

There are all kinds of strange news about people who have run away, people who have been arrested, people who have died when the Central Plains have been plague, and no food has been sent.

Food is the most important thing for people, but no one can buy food anymore. What do you think this is?

What should I eat if I have no food?

Suddenly, the prices of grain soared, and some grain stores closed directly and stopped selling grain to the public. People were holding a large amount of Wuzhu coins but couldn't buy a piece of grain, which was very panic.

After years of changes, people in Liaodong have become accustomed to the commodity economy model of using money to buy things. The commodity economy is very developed, even comparable to the four major metropolitan areas within the Wei State.

Luoyang Metropolitan Area, Yecheng Metropolitan Area, Linzi Metropolitan Area and Puyang Metropolitan Area.

This very developed commodity economy phenomenon can only be seen in these metropolitan areas even in Wei.

False prosperity is desirable, but no one realizes that the foundation that supports the commodity economy is a harmonious prosperous era, a chaotic era, and hard currency is the king.

Food is the hardest hard currency.

Wuzhu coins are really not worth it.

But Gongsun Du didn't understand, and Gongsun Kang didn't understand either. They had only one solution to it after they wanted to break their minds.

Try your best to get food and stabilize the army.

At least the army is the foundation of warlords. Gongsun Du knew that it was taught to Gongsun Kang, so Gongsun Kang also knew that the army was his lifeblood and the pillar of the Gongsun regime. Therefore, even if the people had nothing to eat, the army had to eat.

Liu Yi immediately suggested that Gongsun Kang mobilizes the government forces to search and collect food in all directions, and strictly prevent whether there are traces of the Wei army's activities in the direction of Liaoze and coastal directions.

When things got to this point, Liu Yi could not believe that these things were not conspiracies of Wei.

What a vicious plan!

Guo Zifeng is so vicious!

While scolding Guo Peng, Liu Yi tried his best to mobilize his subordinates to search for food, collect food, and search for things that can be temporarily used for food in advance to store them in case of emergency needs.

At the same time, the Liaodong Army also began to be on guard against the movements of the Wei army in Liaoze.

In Wuwu County, the troops of Qiandu County and Liaojia County immediately became alert and were on high alert. Gongsun Kang also asked Gongsun Du's order and mobilized three thousand elite troops in Liaodong to support these three counties respectively.

This is a dangerous place, and it must be kept. If you keep these places, you can curb the advance of the Wei army. As for the food issue...

There are still some food stocks available for use at present, although not too much, but fortunately, the amount of food consumed by more than 30,000 troops in Liaodong is not large.

After learning about the incident reported by Gongsun Kang, the seriously ill Gongsun Du was stunned for a long time, and then he angrily called Guo Peng a despicable villain and scolded Guo Peng for being a sinister and vicious to a certain extent.

Then he coughed violently for a while, so much that he couldn't breathe.

"Find ways to collect food. No matter what, the army cannot be in chaos. We must give the army food. As long as the army is not in chaos, we can guard against the traitor Guo Zifeng. As for the people, they will naturally go to the sea to catch fish and shrimp to satisfy their hunger. There are also cattle, sheep and horses that are raised to eat, and people cannot die."

Gongsun Du asked Gongsun Kang to rob food when necessary, it would be okay. He must stabilize the army and let the army know that they have sufficient food supply.

If the morale of the army is stabilized, the situation of the war can be stabilized. Even if the Wei army comes to attack, it will be difficult to transport grain across Liaoze. If you stick to the dangerous place and persist for a while, the Wei army will inevitably retreat.

"The army is the most important, and the others are secondary. As long as you stick to the dangerous places, when the Wei people are not well-fed, you will inevitably withdraw your troops. The most important thing now is to collect all the food that can be collected and then prevent the Wei people from attacking. Guo Zifeng plots on me like this, so he will definitely send troops!"

Gongsun Du started coughing violently again, and Gongsun Kang hurriedly asked the doctor to come in and see.

After finally stopping Gongsun Du's cough, Gongsun Du was also very tired and could not speak. Everything could only be left to Gongsun Kanglai to take charge.

So Gongsun Du finally handed over his tiger talisman to Gongsun Kang, asking Gongsun Kang to do things carefully.

Gongsun Kang took over the tiger talisman he had dreamed of, but he did not have the joy he imagined in his heart. He just felt that getting what he wanted at this moment was really fucking.

He didn't want to face such a crisis at all, but he was driven to the shelves and had to face it.

Oh my God, is it really okay to face such a dilemma like this at such an enemy?

Gongsun Kang didn't know if he could do it, but he still did what Gongsun Du said.

We will collect food at all costs to ensure the supply of the army and maintain the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the army. All the others will be put aside.

In short, it means robbing troops and robbing grain.

It doesn’t matter if the food is snatched into the army and provided to the army for food. As for whether the Liaodong people will starve to death...

Will they go to the sea to catch fish when they are hungry?

Liu Yi and Yang Yi were very surprised when they learned about Gongsun Kang's decision and immediately came to dissuade him.

"This greatly damages the hearts of the people in Liaodong, and it is easy for the people in Liaodong to suddenly resist. At this time of dilemma, this is really not the best strategy. Please think twice!"

"Young Master, the people of Liaodong also have to eat. Forcibly collecting grain will hurt the hearts of the people and will be extremely rebellious. If the rear is unstable, how can we fight the enemy safely in the front?"

Liu Yi and Yang Yi asked Gongsun Kang to think three times. Gongsun Kang felt that he had thought twice, so he rejected the suggestions of the two.

"The most urgent task is to ensure that the army has enough food to eat. Everything else is not important. To fight against the Wei army, the army is needed, not the common people! And we are not without paying money, we also paying money!"

Gongsun Kang took out the military talisman that Gongsun Du gave him, so that everyone knew that Gongsun Kang had the final say in Liaodong now, and Gongsun Du had retreated to the second line.

So a very fierce food competition began.

Starting from Xiangping County, such grain grabbing incidents have occurred in a large number of surrounding counties. Many soldiers also took steel knives to the fields to find farmers to collect grain, and snatched all the grain they stored.

This operation is very nice in name. He actually didn't pay much money for buying grain, so it was basically just a waste of money.

And not to mention anything else, in this situation, Wuzhu coins are the same as scrap copper, and have no meaning. Wuzhu coins that cannot buy food are scrap copper. What if there is more?
