Li Fu suddenly sneered, "Boss Chen, since Lu Bu won't give us a way to survive, there's no need for us to be polite."
At this point, Li Fu paused, and then said word by word, "Since Lu Bu is in Xiaopei and no one can survive, then we will work together to drive him away, and everyone will naturally live in peace."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. For a moment, no one dared to speak.
It's okay for everyone to shout slogans, but if they really want to take action, they are also afraid of Lu Bu's sword and gun.
Chen Jiang's expression changed, "Boss Li, Lu Bu has a group of elite soldiers and generals under his command. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to drive him away, right?"
Li Fu sneered, "Boss Chen, what about elite soldiers and strong generals? There is no food to eat. When the soldiers are hungry, how can we talk about elite soldiers and strong generals? They are just a bunch of rabble."
After hearing this, Chen Jiang remembered Li Fu's identity and his eyes lit up, "Boss Li, do you want to drive him away without selling food to Lu Bu?"
Li Fu shook his head, "Boss Chen, I'm not the only one selling food in the world. How can I accomplish this big thing with my own strength!"
Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded.
Even if Li Fu doesn't sell grain to Lu Bu, Lu Bu can buy it elsewhere. Although there is some inconvenience, it will not affect the overall situation.
"Boss Li, what do you want to do?"
After everyone heard this, they also asked questions.
"Boss Li, please tell me and give everyone an idea."
Li Fu sneered, "If you want to drive away Lu Bu, it will be easy as long as everyone works together."
Chen Jiang was immediately overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Boss Li, if you have anything to say, just say it and let's discuss it."
Li Fu nodded and said slowly, "It's actually simple. Let's start with food."
Chen Jiang didn't understand what Li Fu was thinking and frowned, "Boss Li, even if we don't sell food to Lu Bu, I'm afraid it won't affect the overall situation."
Li Fu raised his head, swept it in front of everyone, and said with a sneer, "We just don't sell food to Lu Bu, so we can't solve the problem.
So not only do we not sell food, we also buy food. "
"Buying food?"
Everyone was even more confused, "Boss Li, what's the point of buying food?"
Chen Jiang suddenly reacted, clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a sneer, "I understand, yes, we all just want to buy food. Lu Bu wants to buy food, but there is no place to buy it."
Li Fu nodded, "Yes, as long as we buy out all the food in Xiaopei, how can Lu Bu supply the soldiers in the barracks?"
Chen Jiang laughed loudly, "By the way, don't forget that in addition to these soldiers, Lu Bu also recruited many refugees. Once there is no food, not to mention the soldiers, I am afraid these refugees will riot at that time. How will Lu Bu deal with it then?" ?”
Li Fu sneered, "Yes, when the time comes, Lu Bu will be torn into pieces by the refugees he found without us having to do anything ourselves."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Boss Li is right. As long as everyone works together, it won't be long before Lu Bu can't buy a grain of food. By then, apart from coming to us to beg us, I'm afraid he can only watch the refugees riot, haha. "
Chen Jiang turned his head and looked around everyone, and said slowly, "What do you think of Boss Li's method?"
"OK!"
"I think it works!"
"This move will definitely bring down Lu Bu!"
"I agree!"
After listening to everyone's words, Chen Jiang nodded and suddenly snorted, "Since everyone agrees, well, let's sign and sign today to prevent someone from having bad intentions and ruining our important event. Do you dare?"
When everyone heard this, the scene suddenly became quiet. For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Although everyone has some reputation in the local area, they still feel a little timid if they want to confront Lu Bu head-on.
Moreover, this matter is too big. Once Lu Bu discovers it, I am afraid that it will be a stormy blow.
Li Fu frowned when he saw that no one dared to speak, "Are you afraid?"
Chen Jiang sneered, "If anyone is afraid, please leave here, he is not welcome here."
At this point, Chen Jiang slammed the table and said loudly, "But if you leave here, don't expect everyone to help you again in the future. I hope you think clearly."
Among the crowd, there were gentry who originally wanted to leave. When they heard Chen Jiang's words, they couldn't help but feel chilled in their hearts and hurriedly retracted their thoughts.
Now everyone is hugging each other for warmth. If we leave now, even if we drive away Lu Bu, I am afraid that we will never be able to stay in Xiaopei in the future.
It doesn't matter if you offend Lu Bu, but if you offend everyone, I'm afraid the consequences will be even worse.
Li Fu looked at everyone's expressions and snorted coldly, "Everyone, if we can drive away Lu Bu, we will not only be able to regain our own land, but by then, you are afraid that we will have more benefits.
If everyone agrees, then hurry up and sign and pledge. If you don't agree, then leave. "
Chen Jiang snorted coldly, "Let's decide now!"
After everyone heard this, they knew they had no choice but to step forward one by one to sign and sign to express their position.
…
"Marquis Wen, is there something wrong with doing this?"
Zhang Miao held the voucher signed by the gentry with a wry smile on his face.
Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Meng Zhuo, what's wrong?"
Zhang Miao sighed, "Since we are leasing the land, we naturally have to pay corresponding fees. However, the method proposed by Marquis Wen is really difficult to explain.
If outsiders find out, wouldn't it be spread out, and Marquis Wen would use his power to bully others, wouldn't it be bad? "
Chen Gong frowned and said, "Marquis Wen, why don't we lower the fee a little bit? We'll give them some money every year to prevent others from being exposed."
Lu Bu shook his head and suddenly sneered, "Gongtai, these gentry have food, but when we come to Xiaopei, will any of them give us a grain?"
Now, in order to behead General Gao, they took out so much food at once. What did they mean? "
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Maybe they are dissatisfied with General Gao, so they did this."
Lu Bu shook his head, "Gongtai, you are wrong. They beheaded General Gao not because of General Gao, but because they wanted to give me a blow!"
Having said this, Lu Bu slammed the table hard, "As for these ungrateful people, do I let them do harm behind my back?"
Chen Gong sighed and said, "Marquis Wen, the way we treat these gentry now may have aroused their dissatisfaction. Maybe they already want to deal with us."
Zhang Miao nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid they also know this time that Marquis Wen's renting their land was just an excuse. Maybe they are now discussing how to deal with us."
Lu Bu suddenly sneered contemptuously, "Really? That's great!"
Zhang Miao smiled bitterly and said, "If these gentry unite to deal with us, I'm afraid it will make us miserable. What good is it?"
Lu Bu waved his hand, "If they dare to jump out, then kill them all. In this way, we don't have to pay rent to them. Meng Zhuo, don't you think so?"
Chen Gong's brows were furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Marquis Wen, you must not joke, you should think about how to deal with it if this really happens, right?"
Lu Bu nodded, turned to look at Chen Gong, and asked slowly, "Gongtai, in your opinion, how should we deal with this?"
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Now Lu Bu's decision has gone further and further away from what he had in mind, and even if he has an idea now, what if he says it out?
"Marquis Wen, now that the matter is over, it's up to you to decide, how to deal with it?"
Zhang Miao, who was standing aside, was filled with bitterness!
Ever since he led Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou, he could be sure that Cao Mengde would never let him go.
Now that Lu Bu has been defeated, Cao Mengde will come looking for him sooner or later.
Zhang Miao could hardly imagine what would happen by then.
"Marquis Wen, it's up to you to decide. I'll just obey your orders."
Lu Bu was very satisfied with the answers of the two men, and a disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Gongtai, Meng Zhuo, in this case, I will decide who dares to cause trouble in Xiaopei."
Speaking of this, Lu Bu shot out a fierce murderous look in his eyes.
"Kill without mercy!"
…
Early the next morning, Lu Bu had just gotten up when he heard Zhang Hu hurriedly come to report.
"Marquis Wen, Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Meng Zhuo would like to see you."
Lu Bu nodded, "Let them come in."
Soon, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, who looked anxious, hurried in from the door.
"Marquis Wen, it's bad, the grain stores in the city no longer sell grain."
Zhang Miao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Marquis Wen, it must be the idea of those gentry. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
Lu Bu frowned, "Are all the grain stores not selling grain?"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly and nodded, "There is only one small grain store, which is temporarily open. However, too many people went to buy grain, and it was quickly sold out. It is also closed now."
Lu Bu nodded, "This means that there is no food for sale in Xiaopei?"
Chen Gong was so worried that he was sweating profusely, "Marquis Wen, there is no food seller in Xiaopei now, and the people have no way to make a living. If this continues, Xiaopei may be in chaos!"
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and then asked slowly, "Gongtai, go find the owner of the grain store that opened the door. I want to ask what is going on?"
Not long after, the soldiers who went out to look for people brought a middle-aged man, who was the owner of the open grain store in the city.
The middle-aged man followed the soldier into the room and saluted hurriedly when he saw Lu Bu.
"The villain Wang He has met Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu nodded, "Wang He, where are you from?"
Wang He hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Young man is from Youzhou."
"Youzhou?"
Lu Bu was stunned, "Youzhou is so far away from Xuzhou, why did you come here?"
Wang He smiled bitterly and said, "The villain was originally doing business in Youzhou, but it was too chaotic there. In addition to many foreign races, Jizhou and Youzhou were fighting constantly, causing the local turmoil. Therefore, the villain looked over there I really couldn’t live any longer, so I had no choice but to leave and come to Xiaopei.”
Lu Bu nodded, "Wang He, do you have relatives in Xiaopei?"
Wang He hurriedly handed over his hand, "The villain has a relative here. He was originally in the county government, but later went to Xuzhou."
Zhang Miao was so anxious that he couldn't bear it anymore when he saw Lu Bu chatting away without answering anything. "Wang He, let me ask you, why are there so many grain stores in the city closed?"
When Wang He was found, he had already made a guess in his mind. When he heard Zhang Miao's question, he knew that he had guessed correctly and hurriedly raised his hand and said.
"The villain doesn't know."
Zhang Miao was stunned, "How could you not know?"
Chen Gong suddenly said, "Wang He, don't you dare to say it? Don't worry. Marquis Wen is here to make the decision for you. Even if you say it, nothing will happen."
After hearing this, Wang He glanced at Lu Bu subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "In fact, even if the villain doesn't tell me, you should be able to guess this matter."
Zhang Miao's expression changed, "Is it true that Chen Jiang and others want to cause trouble?"
Wang He didn't say anything, he just cupped his hands.
Lu Bu looked at Wang He and asked slowly, "Wang He, since all the grain stores are closed, it must be the result of everyone's discussion.
Wang He, you must also know about this, but why do you still open the door? "
Wang He hurriedly handed over his hands and sighed and said, "Marquis Wen, to be honest, I saw that the people were pitiful, and if I didn't sell food, someone might starve to death, so I really couldn't bear it, so I opened the door and sold some food to them. "
After saying these words, Wang He sighed in his heart.
When he was in Youzhou, he understood a truth, that is, never go against those who have soldiers.
Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is not only powerful, but also a member of the royal family, but so what?
The local warlord Gongsun Zan still did not take him seriously and finally got rid of him.
Through this incident, Wang He has already understood that warlords with soldiers should try not to provoke them.
The method discussed by the gentry is indeed feasible, but they have always faced the humble and polite Tao Qian, and the extremely kind Liu Bei.
Wang He was sure that if they met Gongsun Zan, they would regret coming up with this idea.
Their clever tricks are worthless in front of the big sword!
This is Wang He's idea, so he doesn't want to offend the local gentry, let alone Lu Bu, who has soldiers.
Gongsun Zan has a reputation for being ferocious, but despite this, he is still inferior to Lu Bu.
With many years of experience, Wang He was almost certain that these gentry in Xiaopei were simply dreaming about using this method to deal with Lu Bu.
However, of course he would not say these words, because this was his life-saving experience.
Lu Bu nodded when he heard Wang He's answer, and asked calmly, "Wang He, the grain stores in the city are closed now, and the people really can't provide enough food. Is there any way you can solve this problem?"
Hearing this, Wang He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, I can't do anything!"
Lu Bu asked slowly, "Wang He, are you really helpless, or do you dare not say anything?"
"I!"
Lu Bu's words touched upon Wang He's guilty conscience, which made him stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
