Chapter 54: Liu Biao's Countermeasures
"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, one hundred thousand grains. If there is no grain, the troops will be dispersed. Every king thinks of endless grain. Only with grain can he gather ten thousand troops."
All Liu Biao's money and treasury were concentrated in Jiangling City, which had been captured by Wei Yan. Liu Biao, who was in Changsha County, suddenly heard the news and was so angry that he almost fainted, but a mouthful of blood was left from the corner of his mouth."
From then on, Liu Biao began to fall ill. Although he was not bedridden, he became obviously very weak.
On this day, Chen Zhen hurriedly returned from Xuchang and came to meet Liu Biao.
Liu Biao stood up quickly, took Chen Zhen's hand and asked, "Sir, here you are, how is the matter in Xuchang?"
Chen Zhen was a very polite and considerate person. He never forgot the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. He first bowed down and bowed down, and then reported the results of his trip to Xuchang in detail.
Liu Biao also told him about the war in Jingxiang in the past few days. Liu Biao sighed and asked: "Sir, what do you think? What do you think?"
Looking at Liu Biao who had no idea now, Chen Zhen was also thinking of countermeasures. After much deliberation, Liu Biao seemed to see that Chen Zhen had already thought about going out, but he seemed a little hesitant.
He quickly grabbed Chen Zhen and asked, "Sir, if you have any plans, please tell me."
"No, but I have to give it a try." In the end, Chen Zhen looked at Liu Biao who really had no idea and could only sigh: "Okay, lord, let me tell you frankly. What my lord is most worried about now is the problem of money and food, and now the third country in the north
The richest man in Jingzhou, Mr. Qiao Guolao, is currently taking refuge in Lingling County. He is as rich as anyone in the country, so we might as well go to his house and borrow 200,000 rations to meet our army's urgent needs."
"Okay, I will write a letter immediately and ask Mr. Qiao to borrow food."
"Lord, you can't repair the book, you have to go there in person."
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Liu Biao and Chen Zhen led three thousand troops to Lingling County.
But it is said that Qiao Guolao is the richest householder in Jingzhou. His business reaches from Yanliao in the north, Jiaozhou in the south, Qidi in the east, and Qianghu in the west. However, in recent years, his business has reached
He is also old, but he has no children and only two women. Therefore, the old man has begun to shrink his business territory in recent years, mainly focusing on taking care of himself in his old age. In this way, his wealth can be worth tens of millions but military rations.
And this Qiao Guolao is also a kind-hearted person. He will always take out things to give to the local people during festivals, so his prestige among the people is also very high. However, what makes Qiao Guolao most famous in the world is not his wealth.
And doing good deeds are the two apples of his eye - Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
But it is said that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao from Qiao country's hometown are a pair of sisters. They have shoulders as cold as willows, their muscles are as thick as fat, and their air is like orchid. They are charming and boneless. With a slim waist, they step lightly and lightly.
The gauze floats in front of her, and her slender figure is enough to make peonies bloom three times and fall three times.
What is even more commendable is that they are not only beautiful and fragrant, but because they were born in a family of Wan Guan, they have received a better education since childhood. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially music.
It can move heaven and earth, and heroes all over the world are crazy about it.
Da Qiao had been married to Sun Ce, the "Little Overlord" of Jiangdong a year ago, but Xiao Qiao had always been married and stayed with Qiao Guolao. Qiao Guolao regarded him as a treasure in the family and rarely saw outsiders.
