Chapter 174: The Western Front Conference of the Military Government

……………………………………

Since ancient times, people have struggled with various disasters in the natural world, among which the locust plague is the most hateful, because it competes directly from people's mouths for food.

The earliest method of locust control in the record is the "extinguishing method", in which the people use bamboo poles to prop up a white cloth several feet long, chase them in a downwind direction, chase them on three sides, drive the locusts to one place, and then concentrate their efforts on culling. Although this is a stupid method and particularly physically demanding, the tools are simple, the method is simple, adults and children can do it, and it is suitable for ordinary people to fight collectively.

However, relying on two legs to chase flying locusts, the effect is naturally not much better, so later the "burial method" appeared.

In advance, a large number of trenches with a depth of two feet and a width of two feet are dug in the place where the locusts will pass, and then when the locusts arrive, the locusts are introduced into the gully by means of driving and beating, and then concentrating on landfilling. The effect of this method is excellent, and it is usually buried in a large area. However, the operation is also difficult, and the soil is shallow, so the locusts can still drill out again.

Today, Liu Hanshao brings you the "booby trapping method", which is to use the phototaxis of insects to light a bonfire at night and let the locusts fight themselves into the fire. This was not "invented" by Liu Hanshao, because there was already a saying in the "Book of Songs" that "the thief was killed to deal with the fire", but for some reason, this method of "burning locusts" did not become popular until after the Tang Dynasty.

Although he couldn't eat the chicken made by Sun Dazhuang and his wife, Liu Hanshao really didn't leave at night, and organized a "locust burning conference" in Tuntian Village on the spot.

Bonfires were lit at the edge of the fields, circles around the campfires, and trenches were dug and then the locusts were driven away by beating gongs and drums from the fields around the campfires. At this time, some of the locusts had already grown wings and learned to glide, and some had to rely on their big thick legs to jump, and they were driven by people and rushed towards the campfires.

That scene was really a mountain of locusts and a sea of locusts, with gongs and drums in the sky...... This is not yet the last critical moment, the situation is already so grim, imagining the scene of locusts flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, Liu Hanshao will secretly give birth to a sense of powerlessness. Although the booby-trap method is promoted, it is impossible to cull the locusts cleanly, even in the later generations, there are airplanes, pesticides, there will still be locust plagues, not to mention these most rudimentary methods now?

After catching a grasshopper the size of a little finger, pinching off its wings, and roasting it on the fire, Liu Hanshao asked the people around him very arrogantly.

"Dare to eat? Dare to eat? ”

Sun Jian, who didn't know how many people he had killed, shook his head again and again, Yang Xiu closed his mouth, for fear of being forced by Liu Hanshao, as an old man who had always been superstitious about Liu Hanshao in the northern mountains, Sun Dazhuang also seemed a little hesitant at the moment.

Under the gaze of everyone, Major Liu Han suddenly put the roasted grasshopper into his mouth and chewed it heavily.

"Han Shao!"

Yan Siwa didn't have time to stop it, and then, like everyone else, stared at Liu Hanshao's mouth in shock.

Although grasshoppers have become a dish in the past and future generations, Liu Hanshao is really not so strong, and it seems to be a bit embarrassing for foodies, but it is a fact.

At this time, Liu Hanshao didn't know how many times he secretly encouraged himself, of course, he couldn't have been to mobilize everyone to eat all the locusts, if that was the case, it would have a fight with "why not eat minced meat".

In fact, Liu Hanshao did not come today to cure locusts, but the main purpose was to calm the people's hearts.

Not to mention, this thing is really a piece of meat when it's cooked! Liu Hanshao became happier the more he chewed, and after eating one, he caught another one and roasted it.

"Oh, I made a mistake, I should bring Li Erwa today. If this thing is fried in oil, it will definitely be more delicious! Well...... Add a little more salt and pepper. ”

Seeing that Liu Hanshao's appearance didn't seem to be fake, Yang Xiu asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is this thing really delicious?" ”

Liu Hanshao said disdainfully: "Silly baby, when did my brother lie to you?" Brother said a long time ago, this thing is just a piece of meat, so a fool won't eat it! ”

Yang Xiu said in his heart, you have lied to us a lot, so you still maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, Yan Siwa has been following Liu Hanshao for many years, and has also eaten good things with him for many years, but this time, he noticed Liu Hanshao's good intentions, don't care about the real fragrance and fake incense, it is a poisonous insect, and he has to accompany Han Shao to eat together. So, Yan Siwa didn't say a word, caught a grasshopper, burned it casually on the fire, and was about to put it in her mouth.

"Siwa, is it ripe? You dare to eat it. Eat raw meat and have diarrhea! ”

Then, Sun Dazhuang caught a grasshopper, Dian Wei caught a grasshopper, and Sun Jian also caught a grasshopper...... One to ten, ten to hundred, the bold to eat first, the timid to see that others have eaten, but also the courage to taste it. It didn't take much effort, there were people eating grasshoppers in front of each bonfire, and the bonfire party turned into a barbecue feast, just singing and dancing and a little wine, even Yang Xiu finally caught a grasshopper with trepidation, and mustered up the courage to try it.

To be honest, even if it's really a piece of meat, without oil or salt, how good can it be? But after all, it was eaten by people, which made people feel psychologically that it was not so scary, and it was not a problem to defeat it.

Liu Hanshao still exaggerated in the crowd: "How is it, how is it?" Brother didn't lie to you, did he? Do you dare not believe my brother's words? ”

"Believe, we all believe what Han Shao said!"

"If you believe in a few people, you will have eternal life!"

"A grasshopper is a piece of meat, this is a blessing from the Son of Heaven, so that we all have meat to eat!"

Listening to all kinds of praise, Liu Hanshao's brain was black, and it seemed that Shi Laodao had put more effort into these people than himself, but ...... Are these people a little misguided?

…………

Joining forces with Wang Nao, and reorganizing Huangfu Song's soldiers and horses in Chencang, the first army of Gaojie increased to more than 60,000 people, which doubled the pressure on the supply of logistics and military supplies. During this period of time, Liu Hanshao and Xi Zhicai have been controlling the number of troops, not only have they not recruited soldiers, but are still working hard to divide and streamline, the purpose is to fear that the burden will be too heavy and the people will be unbearable.

The entire Sili now has a population of about three million, which can be regarded as a blessing for Liu Hanshao, who killed Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, and I don't know how many more lives he will live. However, the distribution of this population is extremely uneven, with nearly one million in Luoyang alone, and less than 100,000 in Youfufeng. Although it is still redundant to feed more than 100,000 troops with more than 3 million people, the B-level regiments stationed in various places have military cantonments, and if they can survive this year, they will probably be self-sufficient, and even feed back to the A-level regiments.

However, the 60,000-strong army stationed on Youfufeng is much more than the local people, which is definitely a big problem. Liu Hanshao couldn't afford to delay, Han Zhengjun couldn't afford to delay, and the plan for the western front formulated by Xi Zhicai couldn't afford to delay.

Therefore, Gaojie divided the three-way soldiers and horses, personally led the Chinese army into Hanyang, Liangzhou, Wang Naohao, Zhang Liao led the left army to sort out Wudu and Longxi, and Xun You and Huaxiong led the right army to advance stability. The three armies echoed each other from afar, and it was strictly forbidden to advance alone and oppress Han Sui and Ma Teng.

In fact, so far, two-thirds of Xi Zhicai's plan for the western front has been completed, but the front two-thirds seem to be originally internal contradictions in the imperial court, whether it is Duan Xuan or Huangfu Song, after all, no one has erected an anti-flag. However, Ma Teng and Han Suike both carried the banner and shouted rebellion, and it was in order to pacify them that they sent Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo. Now it is equivalent to Liu Hanshao just taking over the power that originally belonged to the imperial court and facing the anti-thieves again.

At the military government meeting, Huangfu Song said with emotion: "At the beginning, the old man and soldiers put Chen Cang, which could only prevent the anti-thieves from harassing the three auxiliary places, but he was unable to conquer and quell the chaos. Moreover, since the defeat of the Thief Chieftain Kingdom, there has been infighting among the thieves and fighting for power and profit, and the old man also wants to wait for them to attack each other and weaken their power, and then look for opportunities to break them one by one. At this time, Commander Gao entered Liangzhou, although the soldiers were strong and strong, but it was bound to cause panic among the thieves. If they stop fighting and reconnect, I am afraid that the commander of the army will have no good plan for a while. After a long delay, variables are rampant, and the outcome is still unknown. ”

Although Huangfu Song is now a leftist commander, as long as President Liu Yu does not come back, the military government will be his greatest. However, Liu Hanshao was the supreme commander of the Han Zheng Army, and he, the left commander, was in name only, and basically became Liu Hanshao's military adviser. Before coming back, Huangfu Song's expected ending was far worse than now, and he had already saved the heart of death. However, after really sitting in this position, while thanking Liu Hanshao for not killing, he will be more or less disappointed. It's like a person who is very addicted to chess, but he is kicked off the chess table, and he can only watch others play, and it is strange not to complain a few words. TV debut

After all, he is the god of the Han army, and no one can refute what he says. Once Huangfu Song was weak, but Ma Teng and Han Sui were infighting; Now Gao Jie is strong, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are not fools, and they will definitely reunite. There is also a problem that the once weak Huangfu Song has delayed, but now the strong Gaojie can't afford to delay.

"Can't delay! The former enemy marshal's department has more and more troops, and the pressure on the quartermaster department is also increasing, and at this time the covet has felt that it is already overstretched, if it is delayed any longer, we will not be able to support it, and even if the commander kills the humble post at that time, it will be of no help to Marshal Gao. ”

Wei Qi was also about to be driven crazy, the battle line was getting longer and longer, the number of troops was increasing, and the food and grass supplies needed were multiplied and multiplied, and he, the quartermaster, was about to be scraped and there were no bones left.

The Governor Gai Xun hesitated and said, "Can you give food to the enemy?" ”

These four words sound simple, but they are extremely cruel, like running to someone else's house, sleeping with someone's wife and beating someone's baby, and eating and drinking at someone's house when it's done. Although the current actual situation is that Liangzhou has many Qianghu, and there are rebellions everywhere, and Gai Xun does not regard Qianghu as his own, but after all, the Han Zhengjun is the army of the Han court, and Liangzhou is also the Liangzhou of the Han court after all.

Treat everyone as an "enemy", how can people treat Han Zhengjun as their own? How will people be attached in the future? It's too harmful! What's more, there are only a few people in Qianghu, even if they eat other people's cattle and sheep and eat other people's human flesh, how many days can they eat? Recommended ReadingTV//

"Do you all want to do so much? Let me go! I'm going to see if anyone can stop the halberd in my hand in that broken place in Xiliang! ”

Lucky Lu Xiaobu, the military government is in a meeting, and he is already sitting at the end of the long table, otherwise Liu Hanshao will kick him!

Therefore, Liu Hanshao could only kick Lu Bu fiercely with his gaze, and then asked with a frown: "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”
