Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186
Shouchun, as the days passed, there was a food shortage in the city.

"Why are you running out of food so quickly!?" Outside the warehouse, Ji Ling frowned at the official in charge of guarding the warehouse, and angrily said, "But you are filling your pockets!?"

"General, my subordinates will never swallow anything selfishly."

"The food and grass in the city is enough for the army for three months. It's only been a few days, how can there be no food!?" Ji Ling scolded.

"The general doesn't know. Recently, the city has been infested with ants. It seems that all the ants in the city have come here. I tried my best, but I couldn't kill them all. Many soldiers were bitten to death by ants. If you don’t believe me, let’s see!”

The official said, asking someone to open the warehouse door. Ji Ling looked, but saw that many grain bags in the warehouse had been torn, and a large number of ants were moving the grain away recklessly. When Ji Ling stepped on it, a bunch of ants were crushed. Stamped to death, but there are too many ants to kill them all.

"Have you ever asked Confucian scholars to help?" Ji Ling frowned.

"It's useless." The official sighed: "One batch was cleared today, and another batch came in less than half a day. I hired Confucianists to watch over me day and night, and it was still the same."

"And the same is true for the families of the people in the city. They can't keep their food. Now the people in the city are preaching that your majesty should not presume to be the emperor, so that it's a disaster, and the people are in a panic. The Confucianists came here in turn to barely keep the food in the warehouse, but the people in the city are short of food now, and the Confucianists in the city can't kill all the ants!"

The awe-inspiring aura of Confucianism is not endless, but these ants seem to be really endless. After killing one batch, another batch will appear, and sometimes they will attack people. Food, I'm afraid it will bottom out soon.

Ji Ling thought it was just someone taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos and chase the food and grass back, but he didn't expect these ants to be the culprit?

Now the situation in Shouchun is extremely bad. The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the people are panicked. Moreover, because the food was swept away by ants, people's resentment began to grow in their hearts.

If it continues like this, without Lu Bu and Cao Cao attacking the city, Shouchun City may have to mess up by itself.

There was food and grass before, and it could last for a while, but now the food and grass are in danger of being cut off in an instant, if this continues, how can we fight?The soldiers can't even eat, so who wants to fight again?
The common people are panicked and complained all their lives, and the Confucian arrogance cannot be sustained, and the city defenses will inevitably be weakened. Maybe Lu Bu can split the city wall with a single halberd. How can we fight this?
Ji Ling asked people to exterminate the ants as soon as possible, and at the same time transferred the remaining food to see if they could avoid the gang of ants, then got up and left in a hurry, and went to Yan Xiang's mansion to discuss the matter.

"Things are abnormal. This is not a natural disaster, but man-made." Yan Xiang took Ji Ling to his warehouse, and seeing the ants everywhere, Ji Ling felt his hands and feet were cold. These ants were obviously specially for food. Yan Xiang looked at Ji Ling and sighed: "It's not just me, the family of the princes in the city, but those who have surplus food have all been plagued by ants, and they are inexhaustible."

"Does the prime minister have a way to crack it?" Ji Ling frowned.

"Even if the person who manipulates these ants is found now, most of the food and grass in the city has been lost... Sigh, there is no way to recover!" Yan Xiang sighed: "The bandit army is so ruthless!"

"For the present plan, we should break out of the encirclement and stay in Shouchun while the supply of food and grass is not exhausted. We have to wait for death." Ji Ling said in a deep voice.

"Why don't I know?" Yan Xiang shook his head: "However, Your Majesty is ignoring the government and having fun in the palace all day long. How can you see the sufferings of the people? There is still some military rations, and I wait for these nobles and wealthy households to have some means to drive ants away. It can last for a few days, but the people have no such means. Faced with such an ant swarm, they can only watch them take away food and grass. How much can they get back if they try their best to save them? In recent days, Huainan Yin has reported that food shortages have begun in the city! If this goes on like this, this Shouchun City may become a purgatory on earth!"

"I'm going to find His Majesty!" Ji Ling turned around and wanted to leave.

"It's useless. The old man begged to see you three times, but he failed to meet His Majesty." Yan Xiang sighed. He felt that Yuan Shu had given up on himself now. Looking at Ji Ling's back, he said, "The current Majesty is no longer the former Majesty!"

Ji Ling paused, without looking back: "Then I have to look for it!"

"Ugh!"

Yan Xiang sighed and did not stop him.

Ji Ling walked all the way to the palace, the streets were full of people who came out to look for food, all of them were dull-eyed, some were cooking ants on the side of the street, a group of childish children were watching helplessly around the pot, but the ants Even if it can be eaten, it can satisfy the hunger of several people.

Ji Ling quickly walked through the streets and alleys, and went straight to the palace to be notified.

"General, Your Majesty has been taking care of you for the past few days, and you haven't seen anyone." An eunuch bowed to Ji Ling.

"I have something important to discuss with His Majesty!" Ji Ling frowned, he couldn't wait any longer, he wouldn't fight now, and he didn't discuss countermeasures. enter the palace.

"Don't embarrass your slaves, your majesty. You are not unaware of your majesty's recent temper. If your majesty blames you, the general has a high position and authority. Your majesty may not really blame the general, but your servants will be in trouble!" The eunuch knelt down directly, Hold Ji Ling's leg and said loudly.

"Bastard, get out of here!" Ji Ling kicked the eunuch away and strode into the palace. The guards along the way wanted to stop him, but Ji Ling's opponent, plus he is a general, the guards in the palace didn't dare Really get your hands on him.

Going straight all the way into the palace, Yuan Shu was having fun with the concubines in the harem. There was a lot of delicacies on the table, including wine, meat and pastries. This made Ji Ling feel wrong for a while. Outside the palace are two worlds.

"Your Majesty!" Taking a deep breath, Ji Ling cupped his fists and saluted Yuan Shu.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you? I've been sick for the past few days, and I haven't seen anyone!" Seeing Ji Ling, Yuan Shu snorted angrily, "The general brought his sword to the palace. Could it be that he wants to rebel?"

"Your Majesty, don't dare!" Ji Ling untied the sword from his waist and threw it to the guards at the side, and said to Yuan Shu, "But now that the city is about to fall, if Your Majesty doesn't cheer up again, the Zhong family will perish!"

Yuan Shu sneered and said, "It's a joke. There are still 200,000 soldiers in my city, and there are countless food and grass. How can I be defeated!? No matter how strong Lu Bu and Cao Cao are, they can't conquer this Shouchun!"

"Your Majesty, do you know that there is an ant plague in the city now? Most of the food and grass in the treasury have been stolen by the ant swarm, and the leftover food of the people in the city has been swallowed by the ant swarm. Now the people in the city can't eat enough to eat, and people's grievances are breeding. If your majesty continues to indulge like this Wine and lust, I'm afraid the day of defeat is not far away!" Ji Ling said in a deep voice.

"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shu slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, looked at Ji Ling solemnly and said, "Ji Ling, have you already surrendered that Lu Bu in secret, so you are here today to confuse the crowd and persuade me to surrender!?"

Ji Ling looked at Yuan Shu in astonishment, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, since I followed His Majesty, I have never had a second heart. It was the same in the past, and it is the same now. This heart can learn from the world."

"I will never surrender, let alone Lu Bu that bastard!" Yuan Shu said coldly, "I want to see what they can do to destroy my capital!"

"Your Majesty!" Ji Ling bowed: "Now that the people's grievances have arisen, everyone in the city is in danger, even the grain and grass in the homes of the nobles in the city have been invaded by the ant tide. If this continues, within three days, there will be no food in Shouchun City. Available."

"Then eat meat!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly.

"Why did Your Majesty make such a ridiculous statement!?" Ji Ling was shocked by this sentence, there was no food, where did the meat come from?
"Presumptuous, Ji Ling, how dare you talk to me like this!?" Yuan Shu angrily shouted.

"Your Majesty, my subject...Please come out of the palace to have a look. Now Shouchun City is about to become a purgatory on earth. No matter how hard it is to hold on to the city, if Your Majesty doesn't think about countermeasures, I'm afraid there will be no need for enemy troops to attack, and the city will be destroyed!" Ji Ling said bitterly.

"Don't lie to me. If there is an ant plague in the city, why doesn't my palace have it!?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "Go out, I want you to follow me for many years, and I won't be held accountable for breaking into the palace today, but I will do it again next time." , Don't blame me for not thinking about old love!"

"Your Majesty!" Ji Ling roared: "In the past, His Majesty was so heroic and proud of the southeast, what is now? Da Zhong is about to perish and exterminate his country, why is His Majesty still unwilling to open his eyes!? Your Majesty, please wake up!"

His voice crowned the three armies, and the sound shook the heavens, causing the entire palace to tremble slightly. Many concubines and court ladies turned pale with fright, and some who were physically weak were directly stunned.

"Get out!" Yuan Shu roared angrily.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Ling raised his head, looking at Yuan Shu's haggard face, which was full of hostility at the moment.

"Come on, call me!" Yuan Shu shouted.

"General, I've offended you!" A few people came up and bowed to Ji Ling. Seeing that he didn't speak, they waved their hands. Two palace guards came forward with sticks and hit Ji Ling hard on the back.

Ji Ling closed his eyes and let the guards beat him down with sticks, but he didn't resist. After a long time, he bowed to Yuan Shu: "Minister, leave!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked out of the palace. The two palace guards didn't really chase him all the way out. Ji Ling took a few steps and looked back at the palace, only to see that Yuan Shu had continued to play with the concubines In one place, with a faint sigh in his heart, he turned around and strode out of the palace.

Outside the palace city, Yan Xiang was already waiting there, seeing Ji Ling coming out with a dazed expression on his face, Yan Xiang sighed.

"Prime Minister, the last general is incompetent and failed to persuade His Majesty!" Ji Ling clasped his fists at Yan Xiang.

"Perhaps this is God's will." Yan Xiang sighed and said, "Your Majesty pretended to be emperor and lost his mind, but now it is no matter how hard it is to hear people's words."

"Prime Minister, what should be the current situation?" Ji Ling asked with a frown.

Yan Xiang was silent. If Yuan Shu is willing to come out to host, no matter whether it is good or bad, there is always some hope, but now Yuan Shu stays in the palace and indulges in drinking and sex all day long. At this time, it is really difficult to solve the current predicament...

　I'm going to drink, the college entrance examination tomorrow, I don't know if there are any readers of this age group, but I still wish the students success in the college entrance examination, study hard, don't wait until you have been out of the society for many years, and regret not studying seriously back then like me, Later I discovered that the poor students who mixed with me at the beginning had already paved the way in their homes, not to mention those with family backgrounds, but for working families, studying is really a rare opportunity to turn around in a lifetime. The unit recruits people, and it doesn’t matter if you have a bachelor’s degree. I’m lucky. It wasn’t as scary as it is now, but don’t even think about climbing up. If you want to be more comfortable, you can only sell your health. I quit last year. I smoked a cigarette, and this year I was forced to smoke it again. I know it hurts my body, but I can't hide it. The advice of some old bastards is just on behalf of myself. I wish the students all the best and get into a good university.
