And almost at this moment, Li Jun was holding a letter in his hand, and the expression on his face began to look like a flower.

"See, this is the last resort to force the prince."

"Although he has a large army now, what does he want if he wants to go to the Western Regions?"

"It's food!"

"Li Xiaogong just left Bashu a few days ago, and he is probably still on his way. Even if Li Wenhao wanted to send troops to Bashu, it would be impossible. Now his best way is to send the battle-ready troops from Chang'an City to go west to Longyou, but Where does he have food?"

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone, think about what conditions we and our Crown Prince put forward!"

Li Jun's elation corresponds exactly to Li Wenhao's anxiety.

"No, I can't wait anymore. Troops must be dispatched within three days. If the Protectorate of the Western Regions is lost, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Piao Yao Tie Cavalry will become the enemy's shackles, and they will become rootless duckweed. The vast land of the Western Regions must be handed over to the enemy."

"This won't work. My Tang Dynasty can only expand the territory in my hands. How can I lose the territory?"

Li Wenhao said angrily, if there were Huihe people standing in front of him now, he would probably draw his sword without hesitation.

"Your Highness, are you a little anxious on the third day? The layout of Chang'an City has reached this point. If we suddenly send troops at this time, I'm afraid everything will be chaotic."

"I know, but is there any good way now?"

"It's already like this now, the Western Regions can't be lost. Now, the Western Regions are the most important thing."

"Hey! It's my fault too, I forgot the two tiny places of round and Tuyuhun back then."

When mentioning rounds and Tuyuhun, Li Wenhao suddenly thought of his little brother Songtsan Gampo.

"Where is Songtsan Gampo now?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Songtsan Gampo is now in Fanyang. Everything is fine and life is good. Over there, Master Jia Xu has arranged for him a dozen beautiful ladies. It seems that he wants to exhaust this child to death."

"Exhausted?"

……

"Your Highness, it seems that our harvesting process has been accelerated."

"How to do it?"

"Let the quartermaster go to Dou Yi's place to buy food, and tell him how much he wants."

"Presumably Li Jun and others will rob us. After all, we are buying, not expropriating. I guess they will take advantage of this and drive up prices with us."

"We spent two days driving up prices with them, and on the third day we sold food at a par price to stabilize food prices in Chang'an City. Your Highness had better lead the western expedition then."

Guo Jia leaked a smile like an old fox. Although his strategy was not considered vicious, all his moves hit the enemy's pain points. After all, the enemy must now want to make a fuss about Li Wenhao's expedition, so as to make Li Wenhao faster surrender.

In the past two days, the grain transported by Fan Yang has already filled up Chang'an City and the surrounding granaries.

"it is good!"

"Guo Jia, you are in charge of this matter."

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Liu Bowen, the quartermaster under Li Wenhao began to raid a large grain merchant. In fact, the grain merchants in the world are controlled by Dou Yi and Li Jun.

In order to do enough tricks, Liu Bowen came to Li Jun's food store as his first stop.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell the food here?"

"Ha ha……"

The shopkeeper quoted a price to Liu Bowen.

"No, you are obviously driving up prices. Let me tell you, I am a quartermaster under the prince's command. I am here to buy food in the city. If you dare to drive up prices, be careful that His Royal Highness will kill your family."

This shopkeeper is also a person who has seen the big world, and he did not scare Liu Bowen, but said with disdain, "My lord, you also said that you bought it. Buying and selling this thing is a matter of mutual affection. I will pay you at this price. If you don’t buy it, someone else will buy it, look at those people, don’t put a big hat on my head, it scares me to death!”

"you……"

"Hmph, I'll go to Dou's food store, they're cheaper than yours."

"Please."

After seeing Liu Bowen leave, the shopkeeper hurried to the back hall, this is their big shopkeeper, when he told about the conversation with Liu Bowen just now, the big shopkeeper just laughed.

"How to say?"

"I can't help it!"

"Let's go, prepare the car, let's go to Dou's food store."

"Now His Royal Highness is really, the quartermaster under His Royal Highness doesn't even have a horse"

"Boss, they may have problems feeding people now, where can they feed the horses?"

"Hahaha! Let's go to Dou's house."

The shopkeeper leisurely arrived at the door of Dou's grain store in a carriage, at this moment Liu Bowen was negotiating the price with the shopkeeper here.

"Shopkeeper Dou, I want all your food. I'm not just talking about here. I want all the food in all your granaries in Guanzhong. Later, you can take this cleared bill and go to the East Palace to settle the bill. I'll get the food today." Take it away, this is a handwritten letter from His Highness the Crown Prince, as long as you hold it, no one will dare to deny it."

"it is good……"

The big shopkeeper of the Dou family picked up his big seal and was about to stamp it down.

"and many more……"

"Shopkeeper Dou, look, what did we say before?"

"Our Li family will directly purchase all your grain in Chang'an City and Guanzhong. This time, I will give you an extra [-]%. What do you think?"

After speaking, the man rubbed his fingers.

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Dou looked at Liu Bowen with an ugly expression.

"My lord, you see, our business is based on profit, so I'm sorry today."

"Close business!"

The shopkeeper Dou didn't give Liu Bowen a chance to speak at all, he directly ordered to see off the customers, then closed the shop's front, and personally welcomed the big shopkeeper of the Li family into the inner hall.

"Brother Li, I don't pretend to be with you either. I understand what you mean. When the matter is over, the [-]% of the money will be shared between the two of us. But for such a big matter, I still have to ask our master for instructions."

"You go, as long as you don't forget the relationship between our brothers."

"Hey Hey……"

The two laughed wildly, and within a quarter of an hour, Dou Ai was invited over. When he heard that someone was going to take away all the grain stored in his prison, Dou Ai's first reaction was nonsense.

How much grain does he have in Guanzhong?

To put it bluntly, as much as there is in Hebei, there is as much in Guanzhong. Li Wenhao keeps transporting grain to Guanzhong, and now Guanzhong is actually not short of food at all.

"In this way, this is our Li family's credit note in the bank. With this note, we can withdraw 8000 million yuan from the bank. Presumably the 8000 million yuan should be enough?"

Due to the ridiculously high increase in food now, although he said so, in fact, the 8000 million yuan can be enough for Dou Yi anytime and anywhere if he wants to.

And he believed that it was impossible for such a huge clan to be so poor.

"not enough"

Dou Yi shook his head directly, wanting to add all the food in my Guanzhong, and add one to yours, at least one in front.

"You mean, 8000 million?"

"Not much less"

"Dou's whole life has continued to be spent on these grains and grasses. Based on five times the price of grains, I want to add this to be very pertinent."

Dou Yi tapped the table lightly. His purpose was to help Li Wenhao empty out the wealth of these people and make them the ones who really couldn't afford to eat.

"This……"

"The amount is a bit large, I want to go back and report to the Patriarch."

"Yes, you have two hours. After two hours, I will sell it to the prince with the same price."

Dou Yi said and handed back the 8000 million credit note.

"Okay! Mr. Dou, please wait for me for a while, I will go back and report now."

Although this shopkeeper is the most trusted person under Li Jun's subordinates, the amount Dou Yi said has already exceeded the limit that he can control, not only that he can control, but this amount may have exceeded the amount of money that their family can use now. limit.

After all, although some things are valuable, they can't be used as money. Moreover, they have collected food wantonly for such a long time, and I am afraid that they have used up more than half of the family's working capital.

After returning home in a hurry, he reported the news to Li Jun, and then it was Li Jun's time, and he could no longer intervene in the rest.

Li Jun immediately summoned the people in power of the clan.

"Everyone, what is before us is a huge opportunity, and it may become the death knell of our death."

"How to do it, let's discuss it!"

"Brother Li Jun, just tell me."

"it is good!"

Li Jun nodded, looking at the five people sitting below, counting the six people, this is the most middle power of the clan.

"The current situation is that the crown prince is going to march west. I think you all know what's going on, so I won't go into details. Now, there are two choices. We will fight to the death and collect all the food in Dou Yi's hands."

"Then force Li Wenhao to submit."

"Either we succeed in this move, or we force Li Wenhao to die."

"Either we watch Li Wenhao march west with food, and all the efforts we made in Huihe before will be in vain."

"With these two choices now, we still have a little more than an hour. After an hour, if we don't reply, Dou Yi will sell the grain to Li Wenhao."

"Li Jun, how much do you need?"

An old man below asked.

"Ten hundred and eighty million, the money of all of us together is not enough, I am going to Fanyang Bank to borrow money."

"Borrowing..."

"Correct!"

Faced with the doubts below, Li Jun nodded.

"If you all agree to have a hard time with Li Wenhao, then we will go to Fanyang City to borrow money. In the name of the six of us, it is not a problem to borrow the money. When the time comes, everyone will give it a go. It will be successful, and the future generations will have no worries. Losing Completely defeated."

"Now tell us what you think!"
