Journey to the West: Swallowed the Transformation Pill at the beginning

Chapter 248 Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, Liu Bei Becomes King

Liu Ming frowned after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said worriedly, "Is there going to be a flood or drought in Yanzhou?"

"really!"

Li Ming immediately said, "The soil in Yanzhou has been surprisingly hard recently, and most of the rivers in the territory have also seen water levels drop."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes immediately showed worry. Now that Yanzhou has just been obtained, if any large-scale disaster really occurs in his hands, it will be because he, the state herder, is incompetent!

“And it’s not just drought!”

Liu Ming said in a serious tone, "I have read records in my uncle's book. Generally speaking, after a severe drought, there will be a locust plague! So beware of the locust plague!"

Li Ming also nodded, and Liu Bei's face was also very stiff, and he seemed to be having a headache about what was going to happen next.

But at this moment, there are many people who have more headaches than them.

In Yecheng, Yuan Shao angrily threw down the letter in his hand and said sarcastically, "What a Yuan Shu, he actually named himself the Zhong Emperor. How shameless!"

The generals in the audience also angrily criticized Yuan Shu for his shamelessness, and many of them advised Yuan Shao to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so as to teach Yuan Shu a lesson.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the crowd, bowed and asked, "I dare to ask my lord, what is Liu Xuande doing now?"

"What's the matter with him?"

Yuan Shao looked very ugly when he heard Liu Bei's name, "It is said that he is still huddled in Qi County without any reaction."

The expression of the civil servant who spoke changed slightly, and he whispered, "How could this happen? Something is wrong!"

"What's wrong!"

Yuan Shao said angrily, "Xu You, if you have something to say, say it directly, why bother to beat around the bush!"

Listening to his lord's words, Xu You smiled and said, "Don't be upset, my lord. I'm just curious. He, Liu Xuande, claims to be the one who helped the Han Dynasty. Some time ago, he wore sackcloth and wore filial piety because of the death of the Han Emperor. But now that Yuan Shu has openly proclaimed himself emperor, there is no doubt that It’s a slap in the face of the Imperial Han Dynasty. With his personality, he is probably going to attack Yuan Shu, and there is no way he can remain still!”

After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao also responded and asked him to continue.

Xu You bowed again and said, "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor openly, and Liu Bei will go down to attack. At this time, my lord can lead a powerful army to attack Gongsun Zan. As long as my lord can take this opportunity to take Youzhou, Only by gathering the strength of the two states can we have the capital to fight against Liu Bei and then compete for the world!"

After listening to Xu You's suggestion, Yuan Shao's eyes immediately flashed with light, and his heart felt inexplicably agitated. He stood up and said, "In the last battle at Jieqiao, if Liu Gongquan hadn't destroyed my food and grass, the victory or defeat would still be unknown. Pass on the order. Let Yan Liang and Zhang Yun step up their military training, wait for the time to come together, and then go to Youzhou to destroy Gongsun Zan and accomplish great things!"

The story is divided into two parts, let’s say that two months later, Liu Bei brought a group of civil servants and generals to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. He claimed to be the king of the Han Dynasty, and made an oath to fight against those who are not ministers on behalf of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Above the clouds, Tang Xingyu listened to the words below, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

With a flash of light, countless nine-color golden flowers fell from the sky. At the same time, a wonderful fragrance that was not unique to the human world filled the entire top of Mount Tai.

Seeing the sudden vision, everyone present felt as if they had taken a shot of heart-stimulant, and looked at Liu Bei with a bit of awe.

"Is this a sign from heaven?"

Liu Bei looked at the golden flowers around him and the fragrance he had never smelled before, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Boy, don't be happy too early!"

A voice that was extremely familiar to Liu Bei appeared in his ears.

Liu Bei's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Teacher, is it you?"

"Who else could it be if I wasn't me!"

Tang Xingyu said in a calm tone, "If you want to be the political king of the Han Dynasty, I will help you build some momentum. But you have to be more careful. After all, judging from the celestial phenomena in Yanzhou, drought and locust plagues will soon happen. When it comes, if you don’t handle it well, it will be a devastating blow to you!”

"Junior understands!"

Liu Bei secretly made up his mind that he would never let this senior down on him. After all, he can have such strength now, and it all depends on his help when he was a child.

After the ceremony, Liu Bei immediately led the crowd into Fenggao and discussed with them the fight against the locust plague and drought.

After some discussion, Liu Bei left Li Ming, Tai Shici, Yu Jin, Cheng Yu and others who had just come to stay in Yanzhou to jointly manage the affairs of the eight counties of Yanzhou.

"Gongquan, be prepared to provide food and grass support. Once there is a shortage of money and food in Yanzhou, you will immediately mobilize money and food in the plains to support Yanzhou!"

After hearing this, Liu Ming bowed his hands and bowed, and then said, "Don't worry, my lord, as long as I am here, the people of Yanzhou will never be short of money and food. In addition, my lord, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Liu Bei asked curiously, "What's your suggestion?"

"I have the courage to summon all the criminals in Qingzhou and Yanzhou who were caught for digging graves to come to Yanzhou to serve."

As soon as he said this, everyone present started talking.Liu Bei was also a little dissatisfied after hearing this, "Fourth brother, what are you doing with these criminals? Digging graves is a serious crime!"

"Of course I understand this!

Liu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "But there is no one in the world who can determine the location of the water veins better than them!"If there is a drought, asking them to come out to explore the water veins hidden underneath may also alleviate the drought! "

Listening to Liu Ming's words, everyone's eyes also changed.

Liu Bei looked at the other counselors. Xun Yu and the others looked at each other, then handed over their hands and said, "What Gong Quan said does make sense. My lord can try one or two, but we must still be on guard against these evil thieves. They are exploring When the water pulse is present, you may do evil things such as poisoning!”

After seeing that Xun Yu and others had no objections, Liu Bei immediately said, "In this case, everyone will immediately return to Qingzhou. After Yanzhou has overcome the locust plague and drought, we will send troops to attack Yuan Shu and rectify the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty."

Three months later, drought and locust plagues all came. Fortunately, Liu Bei and others took precautions early in the morning. Although the locust plagues and droughts were menacing, they did not cause any major troubles due to the joint efforts of everyone to fight against them.

Just before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, bad news came from Xuzhou.

In Qijun, Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu who was rushing over and said quickly, "Mi don't know why you came here on a starry night?"

Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, Mi Zhu took out the seal and ribbon of Xuzhou's governor from her arms, sent it to Liu Bei, and cried, "Prince Acting, my master is dying!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's face froze, he stood up in surprise and said, "What, Mr. Tao is dying?"

Mi Zhu nodded and said sadly, "Since the evil deeds Cao Cao did in Xuzhou a year ago, my lord's health has not been good, but for the sake of the people of Xuzhou, he still managed to hold on for a year. Now his body is no longer good." The oil has run out and the lamp has dried up. If it had not been for a miracle doctor who traveled to Xuzhou, I am afraid Tao Gong would have died!"
