Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 456
After a night of rescue, the fire in Wubao was finally extinguished.

At this time, two-thirds of the granary had been lost.

In other words, the food that could have been supported for more than half a year can only be supported for two or three months now.

Looking at the granaries reduced to ashes, Guo Jia's face became extremely gloomy.

Behind him, Xizhong Zhao Yun and Xu Huang lined up on the left and right, and everyone's expressions were very ugly.

The fire was extinguished, but traces of earthen jars and kerosene were found in the ashes, which means that it was also man-made.

"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life! This must be an enemy's conspiracy."

A general was escorted by the Tiger Guards.

He is Su Cheng, the guard of the grain depot.

This person followed Guo Jia when he first took office, and he has made a lot of contributions in the Southern and Northern Wars over the years.

"My lord, please forgive me! There have been no mistakes in these years, I really don't know what's going on?"

After such a big thing happened, Su Cheng also knew that disaster was imminent.

Forgive me?

Guo Jia smiled coldly and said, "Is your life worth anything? Can you get back so much food?"

He's already murdered.

My lord, spare me!

Su Cheng hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "This is really framed by someone."

Ha ha!

A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

But the smile is a little cold.

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If it weren't for your usual neglect of management, this would be an opportunity for people to take advantage of."

Su Cheng kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"I hope that the lord will spare the villain this time for the sake of looking at An Guosu's family. I am willing to compensate for the loss."

An Guosu family!

Suddenly, Xi Zhong's heart moved, and he whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "This Su Cheng seems to be the grandson of Su Ze, the head of the Su family."

Guo Jia's eyelids twitched slightly.

Military law is unforgiving!
He snorted and said, "If all the soldiers in Yunzhou are like you, how can we fight? Someone, drag this person down and cut him down!"

"My lord, my lord! Our Su family has made great contributions to you from birth to death. You are repaying me for your kindness. Isn't it just a loss of food? Our Su family can't make up for it by selling everything."

Su Cheng was escorted down by two tall and strong tiger guards, but he was still a little bit unwilling to give up.

Damn!

Guo Jia's eyes flashed a cold light again.

This fellow dared to use the Su family to threaten him, he was really impatient.

chopped!

Guo Jia shouted sharply.

Lord!

Xi Zhong hesitated for a moment, originally wanted to ask Guo Jia for favors, but when he saw Guo Jia's expression, he immediately shut his mouth.

Finished!

This Su Cheng couldn't survive.

What you say is not good, if you insist on talking about the Su family, even the gods will not be able to save you.

A scream!
Su Cheng's head was brought up.

The rest of the generals were all terrified, and some of them were already limp on the ground.

The Su family was one of the two major backers who came to Guo Jia. Now that the grandson of the Patriarch of the Su family was also beheaded by Guo Jia, how could they be spared.

"You all listen to me?"

Guo Jia snorted and said: "This time the grain depot caught fire, someone must have cooperated with others. Now you have three days to check yourself. If you can't find anything, Su Cheng's fate will be your example."

Yes Yes Yes!
The rest of the general Zuo repeatedly said yes.

Not yet!

Guo Jia scolded angrily.

The generals couldn't help being smart, and left scrambling away, and then launched a vigorous self-examination operation.

"You all listen to me, the officer only gave me three days. If nothing can be found in three days, I will kill you. But before the heads hit the ground, there is a chance to chop off your heads."

The officer at the upper level yelled at the general at the lower level.

The general at the next level turned around and shouted at the soldiers under his opponent.

Soldiers are at the bottom and have no one to vent their anger on, so they can only point their fingers at their comrades.

Soon the entire camp was caught in a wave of soldiers reporting each other.

"Sir, I'm reporting Zhang San, he stole a chicken from a fellow villager."

"Sir, I reported Li Si, he touched the neighbor's duck."

"Sir, I report Wang Wu, he watched the widow take a bath secretly."

It must be said that the power of the people is great.

In just half a day, all headless cases in the entire camp were reported.

Of course, there is still some distance from the arson case.

The generals of the grain depot gave it all away, anyway, if they can't find out in three days, their heads will be moved.

But within these three days, they are still the officers of these people, and they still have the power of life and death.

In a word, if you don't investigate and deal with the insiders, you will never give up.

……

The screening inside the grain depot is in full swing, and Guo Jia is frowning.

The grain depot is the core secret of Yunzhou, and not many people know about it. Liu Yu even burned it, which shows that he knows Yunzhou very well.

Only in this way can one hit win.

It seems that I have underestimated this Liu Yu a little too much.

Finding the arsonist is a trivial matter, but the next food problem is a major event.

The food road outside Yunzhou was cut off, and most of the inventory was lost. The surrounding enemies were watching, and this time Yunzhou might really be in danger.

If there is enough food, Guo Jia still has time to break the situation by force.

The source of all this is in Youzhou. As long as the army is assembled to conquer Youzhou, all problems will be solved.

But the grain depot was burned, and it was difficult for Guo Jia to gather a large-scale army in a short period of time.

Even if you want to fight now, you can't prepare so much food.

Lord!

Xi Zhong quietly came to him.

"Otherwise, we collect the food from the big households in the surrounding area and strictly match it. In this way, we may be able to support it for a while."

This is a way.

But doesn't this tell everyone clearly that the food in Yunzhou is not enough?

If this is the case, Yunzhou will fall into chaos again.

Suffering from malaria and food shortages one after another, it is still a question of whether ordinary people have the confidence to support the past.

Lord!

Lord!

At this time, Xin Ping suddenly ran over out of breath.

"It's not good, I don't know who spread the news that Yunzhou has run out of grain. All the big households have concentrated their grain in Wupu, and the price of grain on the market has more than doubled in half a day."

what?
Guo Jia's complexion became ugly again.

The house leak happens to be rainy.

Are merchants also starting to make trouble?
This is a very serious question.

Food is the sky of the people.

It's okay if you can be self-sufficient, but once most of them rely on external input like Yunzhou, there will be great risks.

When Yunzhou was built into a border trade center, Guo Jia had taken precautions in this regard.

Others can be regulated by the market, but food is absolutely not.

Because this is the root of the common people.

Once something goes wrong, it will shake the foundation of the entire Yunzhou.

That's why he built a grain reserve as soon as possible to curb the grain price in Yunzhou.

The mall is like a battlefield!
In recent years, Guo Jia has also competed with these unscrupulous merchants in Yunzhou.

In the end, these businesses all failed.
