Huan Fan proposed to snatch grain from the people and fill it into the treasury, and Chen Qun and others agreed very much.

That night, countless soldiers dressed as thieves broke into the people's homes from house to house.

They do not kill people, they control people and only steal food.

The "thieves" are still a little conscience. They only grab surplus food, and each household leaves enough food to make a living.

Carriages were parked on the street.

The grain was sent onto the carriage and transported to the treasury.

The road leading to the treasury was guarded by soldiers dressed up as strong men.

Luoyang City is full of people's wailings.

The soldiers patrolling the night seemed to have disappeared and never appeared.

From the beginning of night to the whiteness of the sky in the east, the thieves who plundered the people gradually dispersed.

Most of the people who found that there were still food left at home were sad but did not act excessively.

Only a small number of women who are used to making trouble on weekdays are sitting outside the house, patting their thighs, crying and scolding the thief.

There was a thief in Luoyang City at night, and Cao Pi received the news early in the morning.

He called Chen Qun to the palace.

As soon as he saw Chen Qun, he asked, "Why did the thieves start in the city last night?"

"If you don't make trouble for the thieves, you will have to make trouble for the food shortage." Chen Qun asked back: "Is Your Majesty willing to make trouble for the thieves or the food shortage?"

After Chen Qun asked this, Cao Pi immediately understood that the so-called thief was arranged by him.

"What is the relationship between the thief and the food shortage?" Cao Pi asked.

"Once the grain enters Luoyang, it will be robbed immediately." Chen Qun replied: "I have sent people to allocate grains and grass, but the reply from various places is the same. They all say that there is no grain in the area. If this matter is not resolved, if Cao Zirong does not need to fight, Luoyang will be in trouble. People rob food, and many people store too much grain in their homes, so it is impossible to eat it. I just let someone snatch the excess grain back and store it in the treasury. Only when the treasury has food can the military and civilians feel at ease."

"I didn't expect that if I didn't make a fuss, I would become like this." Cao Pi sighed, and then said to Chen Qun: "The people are stupid. When they hear rumors, they will rob supplies. You have to check carefully. Where does the rumors come from? Be sure to find out the people who spread the rumors."

"I will definitely do my best to find out the source of the rumor!" Chen Qun responded.

There were thieves in Luoyang City, and Chen Wu and Liu Shuang, who were in Luoyang, also received news.

Yang Xiu hurried to the room where they lived.

"The two generals got up early?" After seeing two people, Yang Xiu made a polite statement.

"I got the news that the thieves in Luoyang City were making trouble, how can I sleep well?" Chen Wu replied first, and then asked: "Does Yang Gong know why there are thieves in Luoyang City?"

"The city of Luoyang is very cautious, and it is confusing to cause thieves." Yang Xiu replied: "I asked someone to ask me to ask. Although every household was robbed, the robbed was all food. Moreover, the thieves still have a conscience. Although they robbed some food, they did not rob them all. People should be able to live a life."

Chen Wu and Liu Shuang looked at each other.

Chen Wu asked Liu Shuang: "Do you think there is anything strange about this?"

"It's not just strange? It's not like a thief." Liu Shuang shook his head: "How can he rob and only rob food, and only rob part of it, leaving enough rations for the robbed?"

"If it wasn't for the thief robbery, but someone instructed him behind his back, then that's all over." Yang Xiu interrupted: "The looting of supplies was done by two generals secretly instigated Huo Wu. The people were ignorant and heard that the supply of food was insufficient, so they participated in the looting. In the robbery, some people carried food homes in order to store grain. They couldn't finish the food, but they could only put it there and became moldy, while the treasury was empty and there were no particles left. Do my job.

There are only two laws. First, it allocates grain from various places to break down rumors of food shortage. It is said that Chen Qun allocates grain from various places, and has been rejected by various places on the pretext of food shortage. The second is to take back the grain from the people. However, if you bid to buy it, it will definitely make the people think that there is indeed food shortage, which will be difficult. At night, thieves will only rob food. As long as you think about it, you will understand what is going on."

"After Mr. Yang said this, we will understand." Liu Shuang replied: "It won't take long for the lord to send troops to attack Luoyang. Creating rumors of food shortage is just the beginning. After a while, we will let them know what real trouble is."

Chen Wu asked Yang Xiu: "How is the Tiger Guard?"

"Since Xu Zhongkang went to Shouchun, the Tiger Guards have been handed over to Zhang He to commander." Yang Xiu said: "Who is Zhang He? You must have heard of them."

When he heard that the Tiger Guard was headed by Zhang He, Chen Wu and Liu Shuang looked at each other.

Zhang He joined the Cao family in the battle of Guandu, which was different from other Cao family generals.

He did not have much contact with Cao Shu, and relatively speaking, Cao Shu had no influence on him as far-reaching as other generals.

"We have heard of Zhang He's reputation, but this person..." Chen Wu frowned.

"Don't worry, two generals." Yang Xiu replied: "Actually, Zhang He is already ours."

The two looked at Yang Xiu in surprise, and saw him saying with a smile on his face, "I went to visit you secretly when the eldest son left Yecheng. He left me in Yecheng to do these things. Since Zhang He took over the Tiger Guard Army, how could I ignore it?"

"Even the Tiger Guards are ours, Cao Pi is dead this time!" Chen Wu held his lips and said to Yang Xiu: "We can only secretly assign Huo Wu to do things. Please worry about Yang Gong about the outside."

"Can we take Luoyang first before the lord arrives?" Liu Shuang said: "If we can take Luoyang, we will not be able to take this trip."

Yang Xiu shook his head: "If the eldest son doesn't come, who would believe that we are really doing things for him? You know, the people in Luoyang City are willing to betray Cao Pi just because they are looking forward to the people coming to Shouchun. I don't think anyone is willing to start first without seeing the eldest son."

"It's really troublesome." Chen Wu curled his lips and smiled: "There is no news of the lord sending troops yet. We can only do some small things that are not painful or itchy when we stay here. Chen Qun and others are not good at it. After delaying for a long time, they really don't know what trouble they can cause."

In Luoyang City, when Chen Qun and others were resolving the food crisis, Cao Shu was also preparing to attack Cao Pi in full swing.

In the main hall of Shouchun Palace, Cao Shuo sat in the upper head, and his officials were arranged on both sides.

Looking around everyone, Cao Shu said, "The news came from Luoyang that the other side had already been prepared and just waited for us to go. I plan to send troops immediately. Do you think it's time?"
