Please ask me to be the emperor

After some time, more and more food was collected in Luoyang, and the city of Luoyang gradually became congested.

Whether in the city or outside the city, there are truckloads of grain merchants gathered everywhere. They gathered in groups of three or five, or in groups of more than a dozen.

The inns in the city and outside the city are already full, and some are staying in people's homes outside the city. The people's homes are also full, and some simply build a shed outside, and some don't even have a shed, just looking for a place to stay. I bought some straw and spread some rags to make beds.

Such a big thing happened in Luoyang, and it was difficult for other rebels to know about it, not to mention that these people were more or less afraid of Zhang Shun.

On this day, "King Chuang", "General Chuang", "Eight Kings" and "Living Cao Cao" led their personal guards and went outside the city to inquire about the news.

Looking at the pits full of grain, the four of them felt a little uncomfortable. This is like a young handsome guy who has just negotiated with an old rich woman about the maintenance conditions and the amount of US dollars to be paid to him every month.

The same is true for the four leaders of the rebel army. When they were willing to take refuge with Zhang Shun, in addition to having difficulty dealing with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, another important reason was that the army was short of food and pay, and had no way out.

After finally negotiating the terms with Zhang Shun, I thought I could make Zhang Shun bleed a lot. Although they don't understand what a buyer's market or a buyer's market is, they know that they have "lost money" just by looking at the food sold everywhere in and outside the city.

"Eight Kings" couldn't help but smacked his lips and said: "What's going on? Isn't it said that there is also a severe drought in Henan this year, and the rice and wheat harvests are bad? But looking at the energy of food everywhere, I'm afraid it can't be compared in a good year, right? "

"You ask me, who should I ask?" "Chuang Wang" replied angrily.

"Haha, this is a good thing!" "Living Cao Cao" laughed quickly, "The harvest of rice and wheat is good, the warehouse is full of food, I believe the rebels will not be short of food again this year."

"Only you, 'Living Cao Cao,' can speak human language, and none of us can!" "The Eight Kings" snorted coldly upon hearing this, "What you say is better than what you sing. Are you really willing to follow this young bastard and work hard for your life?"

"Living Cao Cao" glanced at "King Chuang" covertly, and said with a dry smile: "How can it be possible? Didn't the four of us brothers have an agreement? Brothers work together, and they can cut through gold. Of course, I, 'Living Cao Cao', am under the command of 'Chuang King' The king is in charge of the dishes and will advance and retreat with everyone!"

"King Chuang" frowned and said: "We are all brothers, why are we fighting over these things? Since we are all here, let's go and have a look separately, and we will meet again in the evening!"

"Chuang Jiang", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Kings" looked at "Chuang King"'s expression and didn't know what he meant.

However, how can these three people be the creatures in the pond? They were willing to follow "King Chuang", but first of all, he was from Shaanxi, and secondly, he could fight against Zhang Shun, who was becoming more and more powerful.

After the three men led their personal guards to leave, "King Chuang"'s face instantly turned ugly.

Gu Junen quickly took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Luoyang is not a place where you can live for a long time. It will change over time!"

After Gu Junen joined the rebel army, he gradually learned who the leader of the rebel army was, and gradually got closer to "King Chuang", and now he has become his mastermind.

"King Chuang" sighed and said, "Mr. Gu, how could I not know? It's just that the rebel soldiers had to succumb to Zhang Shun because they were exhausted after running around for several months."

"Now there are many soldiers and generals in this land, and it also has food and grass for the city. Now there is a lot of food in Luoyang. I am afraid that within a few months, all the soldiers under my command will be happy to stop thinking about Shu!"

Human nature inherently pursues stability and prosperity, and hates precariousness and hunger. Originally, the soldiers who followed "King Chuang" and others had no other way out except risking the surrender of the officers and soldiers.

Now when the choice of "King Shun" appears in front of everyone, comparing the two, isn't it obvious which side to choose?

If "Chuang King" hadn't originally had the strength and ambition to become the leader of a party, I'm afraid "Chuang King" himself would have chosen this way.

Nowadays, although the three "Chuang Jiang", "Eight Kings" and "Living Cao Cao" are headed by him on the surface, they are deeply separated from each other. Only God knows what they are thinking.

Gu Junen was silent for a long time after hearing this. He saw dozens of grain trucks nearby, and another twenty or thirty big men squatting there to bask in the sun. He casually walked over and asked loudly: "What's the price for the manager?"

Someone hesitated for a moment, then stood up and responded: "Nine cents and five cents per stone, no bargaining!"

Gu Junen was shocked when he heard this and almost said: "So cheap?" It's no wonder that Gu Junen was surprised. Natural disasters continued in Shaanxi and the price of food soared. In some areas, it even rose to two taels of silver per stone. Now the food in Luoyang is less than one stone.

When a person next to him heard this, he quickly pulled the man and persuaded him in a low voice: "Now that King Shun has not opened the market, how can he make a private quotation?"

It turns out that doing business at this time is also very particular. Usually, after the price is officially set with the big owner, it will be sold on the market, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules.

The reason why the person just quoted Gu Junen in advance was probably because he saw the large number of grain sellers and was worried that the grain in his hands would not be sold at a high price. That’s why we made a private advance quotation to avoid having to recover part of the cost when the time comes.

Only then did Gu Junen know what he knew. Originally, he and "King Chuang" thought that the rebels had so many troops that they only needed to camp with Zhang Shun for a while. When the food and grass in his hands could no longer support him, he would naturally try to drive them away. Now it seems that they are the ones who Miscalculated.

Thinking of this, Gu Junen quickly pulled "King Chuang" and whispered: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. It happens to be at a time when food prices are low. Let's buy some military rations first, and then wait for an opportunity to leave King Shun."

"Chuang Wang" suddenly felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and whispered: "Having said that, I'm just worried that the other three won't follow me!"

Gu Junen raised his brows when he heard this, made a gesture, and offered advice in a low voice: "If they don't want to leave, then let them have to leave!"

"Why do you have to leave?" "King Chuang" was delighted when he heard this.

"It's nothing more than sowing discord!" Gu Junen said with a smile, "If they have a conflict with King Shun, they will have to leave."

"What's the plan?"

"Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. No matter how heroic King Shun was, he would not be able to refuse this." Gu Junen said with a smile. Immediately after the discussion with "Chuang King" was finished, "Chuang King" couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered, and kept calling for a good plan!

I feel that everyone has supported me for such a long time, and the author has been trying his best to write this book well. Unfortunately, my wife and I quarreled over this again today. Maybe this book will end like this, or maybe I will update it randomly in the future. This is all we can do. I’m really sorry for everyone’s support and failed to live up to everyone’s expectations. Thank you!
