Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 406 Open the gate to release water

Yang Bo followed Yang Ren to the city wall, looked at the people fleeing like a flock of sheep, and the little joy in his heart slowly climbed to his forehead, thinking that this is not a fleeing people, it is clearly countless The lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Song Jiang (Song Chen) has already set up a porridge shed in Shuzhong, and has managed to win over Liu Bei's generals. The more people escape from Hanzhong, the richer they will be.

According to Yang Song's deduction, if the two brothers work together and try their best to drive these lambs into Yizhou, they will finally get countless wealth.

Hanzhong County now has a population of more than [-] households. The wealth they created in Hanzhong supported the leaders of the Wudou Rice Sect, as well as Hanzhong officials and troops, and the number of them was tens of thousands.

But according to Song Chen's "relief" method, only the three of them can participate in the distribution of spoils in the end, so even if only tens of thousands of households enter Shu, the benefits for Yang Song and others are so rich that it is unimaginable.

Although the method of "relief" to collect money is shameless, Yang Song thinks it is understandable after thinking about it. Killing one person is a crime and slaughtering ten thousand people is a hero, which is very benevolent compared to Cao Cao and the others.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you let it go quickly?" Yang Bai ordered indifferently.

Yang Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this. It turned out that Yang Bo solved the problem in this way, which made him guess for a long time, "General, what did you say? If so many people are put into the city, if there is a danger of changing Yangping and Guan, what will happen?" Trapping the public will lead to injustice.”

Yang Bo said righteously: "Does the general have any intentions? We spend money on food and clothing, which one is not produced by them? There are unarmed people in the city. Are you worried that they will take the pass with their poles? You just need to follow the order and let it go. If something goes wrong, the general will be solely responsible for it.”

"Think twice, General." Yang Ren was so choked by Yang Bai that he couldn't refute. He never thought that the ordinary Yang Bai would say such a thing.

"Just follow the order." Yang Bai raised his voice.

Yang Ren swallowed his saliva and clasped his fists to refuse: "Forgive me, General, even if you are willing to take responsibility, the General will not dare to switch and let you go."

Yang Bai shook his head: "Vice General Yang is so confused, you only know that there will be risks for the people entering the customs, but you don't know that they will block the food road if they block here, and our soldiers will starve in a few days."

Yang Ren was taken aback when he heard this, and he really looked up to Yang Bai at this moment. In the past, the grain storage at Yangping Pass could be used for half a year, but at that time there were only 3000 troops in the garrison. Now Zhang Wei leads 6 to [-] people in the garrison. The consumption of grain and grass cannot be the same. language.

"But these are the people of Hanzhong, how can we allow them to flee to Shuzhong? Even if we can defeat Cao Cao this time, the Lord will definitely blame him after the battle. You might as well send a lot of people to persuade and appease you, General. General Wei) to resist for a while longer, and they will naturally resolve their fear and go home."

After hearing this, Yang Bai looked at Yang Ren coldly, "Persuade him back to comfort him? Didn't Vice General Yang try it? Now that the food road is blocked by refugees, what are you going to use to defeat Cao Cao?"

"Uh..." Yang Ren was speechless.

"Since Deputy General Yang refuses to carry out the order, I will go down and open the city gate myself." Yang Bo clangs and turns to go down the city.

"Why don't you try it, general, maybe you can persuade them to come back?" Yang Ren hurriedly chased after him. Yang Bai was guilty of releasing the people privately, and he was also guilty of a battlefield crime.

Yang Bo walked down the city wall without looking back, Yang Ren followed behind him like a tail, Yang Bo first deployed soldiers armed to maintain order, ordered the soldiers to guide the fleeing people to turn to Jinniu Road, and deployed troops to the intersection of Chencang Road, If someone is found maliciously breaking through the level, shoot and kill.

When everything was ready, Yang Bo let people open the gates of the city, and let the fleeing people enter the pass and divert.Then the refugees rushed to Jinniu Road like a torrent, and no one went to Chencang Road
"The general who opened the door is really a good man."

"He must have many children."

Apart from complimenting each other, the fleeing people also threw too much luggage in the city, saying that they were filial to the general who opened the city gate. Yang Ren looked at everything in front of him and felt his face was hot, thinking that Yang Bai was enlightened. Yet?Taking the risk to do such a big thing is worth the money.

Yang Bai looked at the endless crowd of people with a smile on his face, so he didn't like the rags and rags left by the refugees, and said to himself that if I keep my treasures in Yizhou, someone will come to take them.

"General, how long will the city gate be open?" Yang Ren saw that the refugees were like flooded water, and there was no end in sight.

Yang Bo replied solemnly: "Vice General Yang has seen it all, and it is completely out of the public opinion. As long as people come, we will continue to open. We will carry out our good deeds to the end, and they will remember your kindness. In this way, the food road from Nanzheng will also be opened up. Don't worry about General Gongze (Zhang Wei) running out of food."

"The general still sets a time for opening and closing the city gate. If there is any wrongdoing among the refugees, big trouble will happen." Yang Ren reminded again.

Yang Bai thought for a while, "Then only let them pass during the daytime, and close the city gate when it gets dark. Vice General Yang and we will take turns guarding it, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

Yang Ren had no choice but to obey, he was so busy that he didn't even have a chance to go to the front line to report the situation to Zhang Wei.

After Yangpingguan "opened the gates and released the water", refugees from all over Hanzhong moved to the west every day. County and township officials at all levels couldn't stop them, and they didn't want to stop them. They were also packing up the gold and silver, and they were always ready Escape from Hanzhong.

Zhang Wei struggled to resist outside Yangping Pass, and Zhang Lu transported food and grass for his brothers in Nanzheng. When he learned that the people in Hanzhong County were panicked and wanted to flee, Yang Song took the initiative to ask Ying to go to various places to appease the people.

The actual situation is that Yang Song fueled the flames under the guise, and finally most of the people outside Nanzheng began to flee.

When Liu Bei received the news that Cao Cao was attacking Yangping Pass, he immediately asked Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to stay in Chengdu, and he and Pang Tong, Fazheng, Huang Zhong and others rushed to Zitong and Jiameng Pass to prevent Cao Cao from gaining Longwangshu after seizing Hanzhong.

After arriving at Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei was taken aback. Countless refugees poured in from Jinniu Road. Huo Jun and Deng Ai set up porridge sheds along the way to give free gifts to the refugees in Hanzhong.

Liu Bei was surprised after inquiring. Thousands of people enter Shu every day. He summoned the prefect Huo Jun and asked, "Zhongmiao, there are so many refugees every day. Is there enough food in Zitong's treasury?"

Huo Jun replied: "The grain in Zitong's treasury has not been used yet, and it is the grain accumulated by Shi Zai in the past few days."

"Deng Shizai only has a thousand people farming, and they have accumulated so much food in two years?" Liu Bei was very surprised.

"Shi Zai brought new corn seeds from Jingzhou. It is said that they were cultivated by General Lan for ten years, and the yield is more than two or three times that of ordinary corn." Huo Jun affirmed.

Liu Bei sighed after hearing this: "Zi Yuzhen is Xiao Heye of Bei."

"The main reason why Yizhou did not take Hanzhong was because the grain and grass in the middle of Shu were insufficient and difficult to transport. Today, Zhang Lu took the initiative to send the people of Hanzhong. Why not let them farm here? General Lan has high-yielding millet seeds, which is good for stockpiling food. Lay the foundation for taking Hanzhong in the future.” Fazheng suggested.

Liu Bei thought so, and when he was about to agree, he noticed that the corner of Pang Tong's mouth was raised, so he asked curiously, "Does Shi Yuan think of anything interesting?"
