Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Just like today, being able to see this prosperous scene, what regrets should I have in my heart?
"No! No regrets!"

Chen Qian and Zhou Zheng spoke in unison, very firmly.

That's right!

They don't regret it!
There is nothing to regret!

We are all willing to follow Li Kuan. Even if we die one day, it is because we followed His Majesty and died on the battlefield. It is worth it!
A breeze blew by, bringing a heat wave!
Looking quietly at the white-robed soldiers holding ancient spears in front of the statue, Li Kuan seemed to see on their faces…
A smile that slowly spreads!
And those earnest instructions!
live!

Live!
Everyone understands their responsibilities and is aware of the heavy burden on their shoulders. With the border war still raging, who can slack off?
The prosperous era of Dayan needs such people, and Li Kuan needs such brothers. The important task remains, and everything is just floating dust.

Therefore, what Li Kuan and others are longing for is the moment when the dust settles!

"The Governor's Office has already prepared a banquet to welcome all of you brothers! It's not easy for you to come back, so...would you like to get ready later?"

After a long while, Luo Yan, who had been standing quietly on the other side, smiled.

"it is good!"

Li Kuan did not refuse, nodded, looked at the patient a few more times, and then the group left!

I finally came back to Youzhou, and in the middle of a war, so I must have some drinks!
……

Grand Governor's Mansion, dinner.

Guo Yong also made arrangements for the soldiers returning from the battle, with plenty of food and wine so they could celebrate to their heart's content!

Li Kuan, Chen Qian, Pei Min, Gao Shun and others were arranged to stay in the mansion!
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors!
Luo Yan looked slightly tipsy, raised his glass, and whispered: "If the Grand Commander had not gone to Yanyun City, I would have been able to drink with Your Majesty today. There are reasons for this, but it is helpless!"

Li Kuan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "When we entered the city, you told me that something big had happened in Yanyun City. Why did the Grand Commander go back? What exactly happened in Yanyun City?"

Guo Yong heard it and did not intend to hide it, and got straight to the point:
"Your Majesty, you may not know that there has been a locust plague in Yanyun City recently. All the crops have been eaten up. I'm afraid the common people can't survive and are starving..."

"Oh?"

Li Kuan suddenly stopped the wine glass that he had raised in the air, but there was not much surprise on his face. He just responded and then poured the wine in the glass in one gulp.

A locust plague?
Finally.
coming!

This time the game has been set up for such a long time, just waiting for Goguryeo, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, Kucha, Yulang and other countries to jump out and seek their own death.

And this locust plague is the best opportunity!

After all, Da Yan also suffered a natural disaster, which would certainly cause great damage to the country's national strength. We could definitely take advantage of the situation to rob, after all, there are so many neighboring countries uniting to put pressure on them...
Even if Da Yan is still at its peak, the court will have to give it more consideration and treat it with caution!
Now that the locusts really attacked, Li Kuan remained calm and there was no trace of panic on his face.

Why do so many people become so scared when talking about locusts?

That’s because there was a locust plague, and famine followed!
famine.…

This means that large groups of people would starve to death, and the mountains and plains would be filled with emaciated corpses lying on the roadside.

Those scenes are enough to make people shudder just thinking about them!

Among all ways to die, starvation is one of the most cruel ways, so brutal and inhumane that it makes people shudder.

of course!

The appearance of a locust plague does not mean that famine will occur immediately. It will take some time because the locusts eat the crops in the fields.
This means that there will be no harvest this year!

That's it!

Ordinary people still have some surplus food at home, but it is inevitable that merchants will raise prices and hoard food.

This is a man-made disaster!

Man-made disasters are often more terrifying than natural disasters!
Li Kuan frowned slightly, tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and fell into deep thought.

Luo Yan, Guo Yong and others standing by looked at each other in surprise when they saw his calm and composed look.

seemingly
Your Majesty, upon hearing the news of a locust plague in the capital, you seem not to be that worried?
Could it be that there is already a plan to deal with it?
越想
The more I think this is possible!

Luo Yan and Guo Yong were both high-ranking officials, and they had their own connections in Yanyun City. They were very knowledgeable about some things.
I've heard a little bit about it too!

They both knew something about Cheng Yaojin and others leaving Yanyun City.

There are no major wars going on at the moment, and many generals have been secretly transferred out of Yanyun City, saying that there is no hidden trick here.
Who believes?

"Your Majesty, this... has been arranged in advance?"

Luo Yan spoke, lowering his voice.

He was also worried about the locust plague and had trouble sleeping and eating these days.
It took a lot of effort to finally achieve a situation where things are thriving and a prosperous era is coming!
However, now it is very likely that with the arrival of locusts, all efforts will be wasted and even the country will be in turmoil.

After all, he has been guarding the border for many years and knows that only when the country is strong can one live a good life. He is also loyal to Dayan, so of course he can't help but worry.

"Lao Luo! You are drunk!"

Guo Yong frowned and shouted in a low voice.

There are some things that you cannot ask about casually. In many cases, not knowing is actually a good thing!

"It doesn't matter."

Li Kuan smiled and poured another glass of wine into his mouth. After a while, he put down the exquisite wine glass and said lightly:
"Everything is under control, just rest assured."

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his clear eyes were full of confidence, which made Luo Yan and Guo Yong feel relieved when they saw it.

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, his words were enough and there was no need to ask any more questions!
The two of them had an inexplicable trust in Li Kuan!

I want to...

Is Yanyun City planning something big?

No wonder the Grand Commander was called back to Yanyun City. He must be planning something for Youzhou!
For some reason, Luo Yan and Guo Yong were both looking forward to it.

There was a locust plague in the capital area, and Li Qiu did not want to stay in Youzhou for long. He rested for a night and led a group of people to
Run to Yanyun City!
Just five or six days later, more than ten miles outside the outskirts of Yanyun City.

Looking at the locusts wreaking havoc everywhere, Li Qiu's face also showed a solemn expression.

The situation is much more serious than expected!

The mountains and plains were full of locusts, and the sky was also dark with rustling sounds.
Judging from the current situation, I’m afraid that everyone within a radius of dozens of miles has suffered a disaster!

"this.…"

Chen Qian, Zhou Zheng, Gao Shun, Pei Min, Lan Jiu and the others all looked unhappy, especially when they heard the wailing and scolding coming from not far away...

I feel the same way.

Wherever the locusts went, no grass grew and there was wailing everywhere. Many people sat on the edge of the fields, watching the ugly insects eating the crops.

But there is nothing I can do!

That kind of despair
Gradually spread!
Despite the severe drought this year, there was still a harvest, and everyone had hope in their hearts, but the locusts that covered the sky came out.
It's totally asking for the lives of ordinary people! "Go back first."

Li Kuan had no intention of staying long.

He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and tell others about the potatoes, so that the people would not have to worry too much. After all, the locust plague would not kill people.

But not yet!
The time is not yet ripe!
If the truth is told now, there will definitely be a lot of unexpected changes, such as someone will rush the growth of the seedlings and can't wait to dig up the soil to see the growth of the potatoes...

Isn't that nonsense?

Moreover, if it is leaked too early, all the previous arrangements will be meaningless. Why did Old Demon Cheng and his men leave Yanyun City in the middle of summer under the scorching sun?
This is not the layout for this time!
The overall situation is important!
Along the way, many ordinary people saw Li Kuan and wanted to come up and talk to him.

However, he had no intention of staying long. After saying a few words quickly, he ran towards the west gate of Chang'an City.

Looking at the figure in white robe gradually going away, for some reason, many people felt relieved!
It’s as if with that young man around, nothing is a problem, giving people an inexplicable feeling of security!

As if as long as he is still here, he can give people
Rebuild the sky!

This is a very strange feeling. In fact, Guo Shoujing and Heshen and other ministers have this feeling.
Ordinary people can feel it too!

The current court officials were clean and wise, and they had won several great victories in succession, destroying the Eastern Turks. As a result, many countries in the Western Regions sent envoys to Yanyun City to show their submission.

How could a regime that works so hard for the livelihood of the people not have high prestige among the people?

As for the ministers and officials in the court, most of them are concerned about the country and the people, and there are not too many parasites or people who are just sitting there doing nothing!

this..
It’s the best time!

When they saw Li Kuan, images of people who were concerned about their country and people emerged in the minds of the common people...

Your Majesty, Prime Minister Guo, and so on!
Behind them, there is a group of people who work hard for the prosperity of Dayan and guard it silently behind the scenes!

Why fear the locust plague?
There is always a way!
When Li Kuan ran to the city gate, the sun was about to set. He gave a few instructions to Chen Qian, then rode his horse straight into the palace.

There were not many soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp, only a few hundred people, so it was relatively easy to accommodate them. They could be directly stuffed into the mansion.

Anyway, that mansion is very big!

Even if there are seven or eight hundred people living here, it is not a difficult task!
As for private soldiers and the like, as His Majesty, Li Kuan can indeed maintain a group of his own followers according to the etiquette.

There are probably about two to three hundred people. After all, the military rank of this position is still very high, so it is a relatively reasonable range!

As for the four or five hundred...
A little too much, but no big deal!
After all, this was in the heavily guarded Yanyun City, and there were twelve guards just to protect the capital!
With just a few men in the Xianzhen Camp, what big waves can they cause?
Of course, if Li Kuan really wanted to rebel, then this entire Xianzhen Camp would really bring a lot of trouble.

but.…

Is that possible?

Ah!
The ministers were too lazy to ask more questions. After all, they had absolute trust in Li Kuan.

He even wished he could train more troops and men capable of fighting tough battles, which would be better than sitting at home doing nothing all the time.

If a person is idle for too long, it is easy to have some problems, especially if he stays at home.

……

sunset.

Ganlu Temple.

Guo Shoujing buried his head in the memorials in his hand, his brows full of worry. They were all about the disaster situation in various places.

The situation is critical, much more serious than imagined, and there is no reason to be optimistic!

No one knew when, but Li Kuan walked into the hall step by step under the guidance of Chen Lin.

"Principal Guo."

He called out softly, the blood-stained white armor on his body had not yet been removed, and it still emitted a faint smell of blood.

"Hmm? Your Majesty!"

Guo Shoujing felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, so he raised his head and saw
A face that looks too young!
"Your Majesty, are you finally willing to come back?"

Seeing Li Kuan running back, Guo Shoujing was extremely happy and immediately threw those memorials aside.

"Hahaha! Now that we've finished our work, we must come back, right?"

Li Kuan scratched his head and smiled, then found a stool and sat down, stretched himself and crossed his legs.

Chen Lin was no longer surprised by this scene, so he walked out with his head lowered, closing the door of the hall.

"It's better to be back home! It's so hot in the desert. I've suffered a lot these past few days."

He yawned and said lazily.

There were many ice basins placed in the Ganlu Hall, making the surroundings cool and chilly. It dispelled the scorching heat outside and made people feel comfortable all over.

"Your Majesty, you..."

When Guo Shoujing saw this scene, he shook his head and laughed.

But soon his attention was attracted by the bloodstains on the armor.

"Your Majesty, who told you to go into the desert without saying anything? You keep disappearing, which makes me worry."

He said unhappily.

When he received the report from Eunuch Cao that Li Kuan led his troops to chase and kill Guo Shoujing, he almost scared him half to death.

The rebel has run away, so why are you chasing him?
What if we were ambushed?

In fact, for Guo Shoujing, even if the entire northern border was in chaos, he would never let Li Kuan have any accidents.

His position in his mind is much more important than the entire Northern Frontier!
"Hahaha! I was just in high spirits. Those guys were really too annoying! I just chased them! Fortunately, the result was pretty good."

Li Kuan smiled.

"Oh?"

Guo Shoujing also showed an interesting look on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me about this?"

"it is good!"

Li Kuan had no intention of showing off. He changed into the most comfortable lying position and began to speak slowly.

About half an incense stick later, he told the whole story, which left Guo Shoujing stunned.
