Chapter 617 Yanzhou Armistice and Locust Plague Outbreak ([-] in [-])

With the assistance of Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cheng Lian and others, and the fact that Xiahou Dun was lured away by Cao Xing, Lv Bu, like a bird out of a cage, raised his arms and beat Xiahouyuan back.

Then he urged the horse to jump out and charged towards Xiahou Dun.

Although Cao Xing's martial arts skills were not good enough, his archery skills were not bad. After following him for so long, he died at the hands of Xia Houdun today.

Of course Lu Bu wanted revenge.

It's just that Cao Cao saw that Xiahou Dun was injured, and Lu Bu had a helper, so he immediately sent an order: "Beat the drum to attack and assist Yuan Rang to kill Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao is good at seizing opportunities, and this is a good opportunity for the whole army to attack.

Chen Gong could see clearly on the wall, and there was also some worry on his calm and serious face, and he immediately said: "Ming Jin withdraws troops, and welcomes General Lu into the city!"

Lu Bu rushed over, but failed to kill Xiahou Dun who had lost his left eye with one halberd. Seeing that Cao Jun sent two generals to kill him, and the whole army was attacking, he couldn't help shouting and turned back to the city.

Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Cheng Lian and others broke away from General Cao's entanglement and followed Lu Bu into the city.

Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and others pursued to the bottom of the city. Wei Xu on the city ordered to release arrows, and countless arrows flew towards them.

The gate of the city was closed suddenly, Lu Bu and others returned to the city, and immediately stepped on the top of the city.

At this time, Cao's army came in full force and launched a fierce attack on Juancheng.

The ladder and battering ram came to the city, and the trebuchet was pushed not far away.

"Hey! Gongtai, I..." Going up to the top of the city, when he saw Chen Gong, Lu Bu felt a little regretful. He wanted to take advantage of his power to weaken Cao Cao's momentum, but he didn't expect to defeat Cao Xing.

Chen Gongdao: "General, this is not the time to regret, the most urgent thing is to cheer up and resist Cao Jun's siege."

Wei Xu also persuaded: "Yes, my lord, people cannot be resurrected after death, so please put the overall situation first, let's kill more Cao Jun and avenge Cao Xing."

"Huh, Xiahou Dun, I will kill you to avenge Cao Xing." Lu Bu is not a cowardly person, he rushed away with a brief moment of regret, his eyes fixed on Xiahou Dun who retreated to Cao Cao's side under the city, the raging flames of war Burned again.

Cao's army was coming fiercely, and Lu Bu and Chen Gong dispatched men to counterattack desperately. They used various means, and the two armies attacked one and defended, and the battle was fierce.

In particular, the trebuchets posed a huge threat to Lu Buchen's defense of the city.

Fortunately, Chen Gong knew the weakness of the trebuchet, and he had some ways to deal with it.

The two armies fought for more than an hour, and suffered losses from each other, and the battle damage was huge.

Although the cloth is brave, the number of Cao Jun and Cao Generals stepping on the city will soon increase, and the two armies will fight each other on the top of the city.

Lu Bu's manpower is getting lower and lower, and he fears that he won't be able to last long.

Just when Chen Gong and others were anxious, a majestic cavalry appeared behind Cao Jun.

Behind the leader of the army hangs the flag of Xu Zishuai, the flag of the left cavalry guard, and the flags of generals with Xu characters and yellow characters.

"Not good! It's the Qingzhou Army, the Marquis of Weihai is here!"

Cao Jun's generals turned pale with fright, and the left cavalry or Shenji cavalry impressed them the most.

That is, they chased from Qingzhou to Yanzhou, biting behind step by step.

How powerful this cavalry is, Cao Jun knows very well.

What's more, this time Xu Ding personally appeared on the stage, and the combat power soared in a straight line, which is not something ordinary people can stop.

Cao Cao also had a gloomy face, looking at Xu Ding's 5000 troops.

Appeared when Juancheng was about to win the last blow, what does it mean?
Cao Cao said to Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, you come to sit in the central army, and Miao Cai will command. I will meet Bokang and see what he wants to do?"

Cao Cao took Shi Huan, Han Hao, and Xiahou Dun, who lost his left eye, towards Xu Ding, and stopped after a few dozen feet.

Cao Cao asked: "Bokang came to Juancheng without notifying him in advance, so I'm ready to entertain him. Now that Juancheng is still making trouble, Bokang will wait for an hour for now. Then I will stop for Bokang in Juancheng. Host a banquet and have fun with the wine."

"Mengde! I won't go in Juancheng, drink and chat, I think Donglai is suitable, why don't you go in too!" Xu Ding urged his horse out of the battle and said with a smile.

Cao Cao said: "Bokang really wants to stop me. I let the eastern part out with the scriptures. Bokang won't be so unkind."

"Meng De, I heard that the cities and counties in Jiyin County respect you very much. Now Jiyin and Shanyang are in your hands. Seeing that the plague of locusts is coming, let's call for a truce and give the people a way to survive. "Xu Ding ignored Cao Cao's emotional card, and instead pulled out the world.

Cao Cao pondered slightly, Xu Ding's meaning was obvious, he would not advance westward, but he could not allow himself to take back all the western part of Yanzhou.

Xu Ding needs a stable west, not a unified west under Cao Cao's name.

Just as Cao Cao was hesitating, news of Cao Ren was sent from the direction of Qiuqiu.

The visitor whispered to Cao Cao: "My lord, Fan County is under siege. The general asked me to ask you whether he will return to aid Fan County or Juancheng!"

Reporting to Qiuyi was captured by Cao Ren, but Xu Ding's troops surrounded Fan County. Cao Ren, who received the news, did not know Xu Ding's intentions, so he had to send someone to ask for instructions.

"Can Bokang let me think about it? This is not a matter of one person?" Cao Cao said.

Xu Ding nodded slightly: "Of course, but Meng De's time waits for no one, hurry up!"

Cao Cao led everyone back to the main formation, and asked Liu Ye, "Zi Yang, Xu Ding won't give up. He doesn't want me to take back Juancheng. Now that the troops are encircling Fan County, do you think we should stop attacking Juancheng?"

Liu Ye said: "My lord, stop attacking the city. The Marquis of Weihai may not really attack Fan County, but we are attacking Juancheng, so he will definitely attack us. Why don't you stop and save your strength?"

Cao Cao was still a little unwilling, seeing that Juancheng was about to be broken, and Lu Bu was about to be defeated, Xu Ding suddenly came out with only 5000 troops.

Do you want to do your best, and you will be hurt by both defeats.

Liu Ye said: "The lord Jiyin is basically recovered by us. I think we can abandon Fan County and Yuncheng, and go directly to Jiyin Dingtao, temporarily avoiding the military power of Marquis Weihai, so that Lu Bu can directly contact him. We have no conflict with Weihaihou.

At that time, I will be looking for an opportunity to recover Chenliu, in a certain Puyang and Juancheng. "

"That's it." Cao Cao felt very sleepy, making such a helpless decision, it is easy to haggard.

Soon Cao Jun stopped attacking the city and withdrew all of them.

Cao, Xu, and Lv's armies were silent for two days in Juancheng.

Soon the Qingzhou army that surrounded Fan County also withdrew, and Cao Jun in Fan County withdrew to Yuncheng with Cao Cao's family, and then retreated from Yuncheng to Dingtao.

The Xu Ding Department directly took over Fan County, but did not take Yuncheng.

After that, Lu Bu didn't take Yuncheng, and Cao Cao didn't take over. For a while, Yuncheng became a three-way zone.

On the second day of the armistice, bad news came from all over the world that everyone didn't want to hear, and they didn't want to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.

A plague of locusts broke out in Yanzhou.

The army of locusts that broke through the ground flapped their wings and waved their fangs, eating up all the green vegetation on the ground, leaving only the bark for the local people.

The continuous drought since last year has made the land less lush.

Fortunately, the water was moistened with the return of spring, and the green plants that had just grown on the earth were not enough for the locust army, and the locust army began to spread aimlessly around and fly far away.

It attacked every village, town, and county overwhelmingly, as if it wanted to destroy the entire human world...

Cao, Xu, Lu, and the three parties set up tents on a temporary earthen platform built outside the city and sat down to discuss urgent countermeasures.

No one can gloat in the face of natural disasters, and no one can avoid them.

Because the locust plague hurts the real Han people and their foundation for survival.

"Everyone, I didn't lie to you. The locust plague is here. The army of locusts has attacked one county after another. We need to resist this natural disaster and save our people?" Xu Ding looked at Cao Cao and then at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu clasped his fists and said, "Of course, the locusts will never die, so don't even think about growing crops in the field this year. No one will have any food to harvest, and everyone will go hungry."

Just won half of Yanzhou, and was snatched back a quarter by Cao Cao.

Now there is another plague of locusts, you say you are annoying or not, Lu Bu is very depressed.

I, Lu Bu, just found a corner to develop, why is it so difficult.

But at the same time, he was more willing to discuss with Xu Ding how to deal with the locust plague.

Otherwise, the territories he laid down would be the same as if they hadn't been fought.

Cao Cao stood up, bowed deeply to Xu Ding, and said, "Bokang is here, you have to apologize to you, everything you said is right, we were temporarily in trouble."

Before the plague of locusts came, Cao Cao didn't know what was going on, but when it really came, Cao Cao's pressure also increased, and his mood became more painful.

Although he only has two counties now, in the face of such a natural disaster, everyone would feel very sad.

What is a hero?
It means being able to take it up and put it down, and never be relentless when it should be ruthless.

But when it's time to be gentle, you can also let go of your grudges.

Xu Ding said: "Now is not the time for Meng De to talk about this. Let the matter pass. Now let's discuss how to deal with it."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and then said: "Since Bokang, you have predicted this disaster, you must have some countermeasures!"

Xu Ding said: "Of course, last year, we in Qingzhou started to kill the locust eggs. Before the heavy snow came, we plowed the land deeply, so that the winter snow could cover the locust eggs as much as possible, and killed potential locusts.

At the same time, we in Qingzhou strongly encouraged the people to raise chickens, and put the chickens in the ground, and the chickens pecked and wiped out most of the eggs.

It can be said that it is almost impossible for me to have locusts raging in Qingzhou now.

Because even if the locusts entered Qingzhou, they would be eaten by a large number of poultry raised by the people.

"Amazing! Really amazing. I didn't expect Bokang to have such a special method to prevent locust plagues. It's wonderful!" Cao Cao didn't expect that preventing locust plagues was so simple, and he could not help but complained in a low voice:

"Since Bokang has this method, why didn't he tell us earlier?"

Xu Ding confirmed: "No? I remember that I had someone publish the preventive measures in the Donglai Monthly and Xunbao. It is impossible not to have them.

Besides, I told everyone that I don't think the states and counties in the world will pay attention to doing it in my way. "

"Ahem! Maybe I missed it." When mentioning the newspaper, Cao Cao couldn't help coughing a few times, his face a little embarrassed.

Everyone doesn't believe the severe drought and locust plague that Xu Ding said, so naturally they won't learn his preventive measures.

You must know that this not only requires the energy of the officials under the rule, but also spends money to support the people in raising poultry.

That in itself is a large expense.

It is impossible for you to take out the money that has entered the pocket of the government.

Other states and counties did not promise such courage.

"My lord, why don't you talk about how to deal with the locusts that are causing disasters now!" Lu Bu didn't care about newspapers or preventive measures, they were old calendars.

Those things have nothing to do with him, and the most practical thing is to eliminate the locusts right now.

He didn't have the time to talk nonsense with Cao Cao and Xu Ding.

If it wasn't for the plague of locusts, he might kill Cao Cao now.

Xu waved back, and Xia Houlan handed over two text booklets, which were handed over to Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

I saw "On Locusts" written on the cover of this text!
Cao Cao and Lu Bu looked at each other, what does this mean?
Xu Ding said: "This is a booklet with various information about locusts, which records a summary of the breeding, growth, and control of the emperor insects.

At the same time, it has its social value! "

Social value?
What is this ghost?

Cao Cao immediately opened it, only to see several pictures on the first page.

They are the various stages of locusts from egg to larva, then to adult, and finally to death.

This made Cao Cao amazed. He did not expect that the locusts would have a better understanding of locusts after going through these stages.

Then turn to the next page, which lists the habits and preferences of locusts.

Turning a page, it says the medicinal value of locusts.

"Can locusts be used as medicine?" Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding suspiciously.

Xu Ding explained: "Of course, locusts are not without the disadvantage of flooding, but they are not without benefits. According to our research, dried locusts can be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat many diseases.

It has the effects of relieving cough and asthma, detoxification, sore throat, rash, bronchitis, and spasm, and also has the effects of lowering blood pressure, losing weight, lowering cholesterol, nourishing and strengthening, nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen. Long-term food can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases disease.

External use can also treat middle ear pain, locusts beaten by frost can also treat dysentery, enteritis and so on. "

Uh!
Is there so much utility?

Why does it sound like a treasure of heaven and earth.

Both Cao Cao and Lu Bu felt unreal.

No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a fool.

The pests became medicinal materials in Xu Ding's mouth, and they were also good medicinal materials for curing various diseases.

What is cholesterol?
What is the buck?
"Of course the most important point is..." Xu Ding paused for a moment, and then said:
"The most important thing is that locusts are rich in nutrients, fresh and tender, and delicious like shrimp. The structure of nutrients in their bodies is more reasonable than that of livestock and poultry. They are military rations that can be eaten instead of meat."

Nutritious, fresh and tender meat, delicious as shrimp!
How is this possible, that thing makes people sick to look at.

Is it better than livestock and poultry meat, and can it replace military rations?
Xu Bokang, Xu Bokang, you are sure you did not lie to us.

This thing is a natural disaster and the god of plague descends to earth, won't people die if they eat this thing?
Neither Cao Cao nor Lu Bu could believe it.

This is the first time I've heard of this.

If someone else wanted to tell them that, they would have kicked him out long ago, who would listen to his nonsense.
