"Four tyrants!"

"Hmph, what's so great about the four tyrants? Four kings! ”

"Huh? It seems that today is a win, four emperors! ”

"Uncle Fang, are you stupid? This is Zifeng as a big family. How are you hitting me? ”

"Hey! Brother Wannian, rest assured. I only have one card in my hand, and it's blown up here, so I can flip it over. Hey, hey, Zifeng, according to what you said, it's three times. ”

"Cut~! How can I catch a big deal if I don't have anything in my hand? Haven't you noticed that there isn't a single god at the table right now? I'm so embarrassed, but both gods are in my hands. God Bomb! Connect. Hahahaha, four times, give money to money! ”

"Hey, it's over, Huo Fangbo, you deliberately sent money to your family's eldest Sima, right? You dare to fight the four emperors without a single god appearing? ”

"What a thing! Brother Wannian, at the end of a hundred dollars, how many are these? Not counting the one just now, I've already lost 2,000 dollars to go in! ”

The time had come to the middle of May in 268 AD, after Sima Wang launched a full-scale siege of the city in early April of that year. The Jin army never launched a major offensive after that. In order to pass the time and avoid low morale, Guan Yi, who was bored, took out the big killer weapon of "fighting the landlord" in advance.

Of course, since it's a traverser, there's no J/Q/K/A or anything in this card. In the cards of the traverser, J is the general, Po, Mu, Qi, and Qian. Q is a beauty, Bao Xi, Xi Shi, Daji, is the overlord, Qi Huan, Chu Zhuang, Jin Wen, is the king, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang. 2 is the emperor, the first emperor, Gaozu, Emperor Wu, and Guangwu. On top are two god cards: Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

Well, yes, the smallest number in this deck is 3. And this kind of play is not called fighting the landlord. It's about "killing big people".

The entertainment life of this era is too scarce, so after Guan Yi took out the landlord who was popular all over the country in later generations, the whole army was obsessed with this thing for a while, and its power was so great that even Guan Yi, who had been psychologically prepared in advance, was surprised. In the end, Guan Yi had to issue strict orders: the officers and soldiers on duty were strictly forbidden to play cards, and violators were beheaded. Those who are on duty must also go to bed on time, and are not allowed to stay up late to play cards, and violators will be severely punished. and sent Jiang Su to serve as a wind correction officer, after really killing a few people. This craze of killing big families in the whole army can be regarded as standardized.

Taking advantage of the shuffle, Qi Wannian said: "Da Sima's game is really interesting, simple and easy to use, but the changes are endless, it is really unstoppable." Not to mention anything else, now the four fathers and sons of the Li family are locked in the tent to play this if they have nothing to do. I went over early the morning and saw them play an all-nighter ......"

Yes, because Li Mu and his son led the army to "encircle" the western passage of Yixian. Therefore, Guan Yi's original expectation of internal and external news was cut off did not happen at all. Now he sits in the city of Yixian, and he can maintain a very smooth connection with the outside. It's just just that just in case, things that are generally not particularly important are dictated back and forth by Qi Wanlai, and try to avoid carrying letters with him.

"Well, speaking of which, it's been a while since Soochow sent troops, right? How is the battle going now? ”

"Hehe, your family's Si Wencao's efficiency is still very high. The day before yesterday, when I passed, they sent me the war report from ten days ago. Well, on the Yangzhou side, Ding Chengyuan has surrounded Hefei and started a full-scale attack. However, after all, Hefei is a fortified city with three walls inside and outside, and it is not so easy to take. As for Jingzhou, Lu Youjie is really a genius, he didn't lead his troops to Xiangyang, but bypassed Xiangyang and went north to Zhuyang, and almost locked Chen Qian in the mountains of Shangyong. ”

"Almost?"

"Yes, just a little bit, Chen Qian only entered Zhuyang County two hours earlier than him."

"Oh, that's a pity. But it's okay, with the character of the stupid emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he trusts his own family far more than the famous ministers and fierce generals. Therefore, Chen Qian was not imprisoned, and sooner or later there would be a conflict with Sima Liang because of the command of the Jingzhou Theater. At that time, Lu Youjie will still have a chance. ”

"That's what Da Sima said. In addition, I have a very important news to report to Da Sima. ”

"Important? You guy, since you know it's very important, why did you say how many games you played first after you came just now? ”

"Hey, the addiction is up. You know, in order to prevent Sima Wang from knowing that we are exchanging news with you. This game of killing big families, I only dare to teach Li Mu and his son. What about them, they dare not spread the word...... But it takes three people to play! ”

"Cut, what should I be? I'll teach you how to play stud later. It's something that a lot of people can play with. Okay, let's get down to business. ”

"Well, well, it's not a big deal. Da Sima, you know that we are divided into many tribes. Among them, there is a Fu clan that has lived in Anding County for a long time. They only came with the news yesterday, saying that they had already received Cao Wei, the king of Liang Cao. ”

"Oh, how many brothers are left of my big Han Si Wen Cao?"

"Da Sima's words, but the root of how many people are willing to die for you." After a heartfelt admiration, Qi Wannian's face darkened: "The situation is very bad, there are only seven brothers left." Li Qi, who was the original leader, also died on Taihang Mountain. ”

"Hey, for this puppet, I actually broke twenty-four brothers. No, it's twenty-five, and Brother Deng also died a heroic death! ”

"It's just a matter of seeking kindness. Da Sima doesn't have to mind too much. So that Da Sima learned that the relationship between the Li family and the Fu family was not very good, so he couldn't say that Qi would personally go to Anding County tomorrow. At that time, Da Sima Ke will transfer a team of elites to me in case of accidents. ”

"That's the reason, Uncle Fang, you go and arrange this matter immediately."

"No."

The three of them had just finalized the relevant matters, and before Huo Zai could get up, Jiang Su stumbled and broke in with a frightened face: "Uncle! Please hurry up and take a look at the castle tower! ”

"What's the matter? The Jin army is attacking the city? ”

"No, it's locusts...... Locust! ”

It's finally here! In 268 AD, the great locust plague that swept through Guanzhong came as scheduled!

At the turn of April and May, farmers in Guanzhong were horrified to find that countless beetles had appeared in their fields. The appearance of this scene made those old farmers with rich farming experience all heartbroken: this is the larvae of locusts! With such a high density of hoppers, within a month, a locust plague will appear!

Sure enough, after eating a large amount of winter wheat that is about to ripen and spring wheat that is still growing, the hopper quickly completes multiple molts and finally flapps its wings! A plague of locusts has appeared!

So, in May of this year, on the desk of Sima Yan, who was far away in Luoyang, all kinds of urgent recitals almost drowned His Majesty the Emperor.

"Chen's Anding County is too anxious! On May 7, a locust plague broke out outside Linjing City! Millions of flying locusts, covering the sky and the sun, like a violent wind sweeping the sand dunes, its momentum is like thunder! The locust swarm landed like yellow snow in the sky! Tens of thousands of acres of green wheat seedlings in the south of Linjing City turned yellow in an instant! On the day of the departure of the messenger of the minister, tens of thousands of acres of spring wheat and wheat fields outside Linjing City were completely gone! This year's spring wheat in Linjing City, there is no harvest! Again, the locust swarm has gone south, and the minister has notified the counties of the southern road! ”

"Chen Xinping County is too urgent! On May 8, a locust plague broke out in Tan Binh County! The locust formation is more than 30 miles long and more than 10 miles wide, and the locusts are approaching, and the day turns into dusk. The density of locusts is extremely high, and once they land, the wheat seedlings, tree branches, and roads are gone...... By the day of the departure of the subordinate messengers, the wheat fields within a radius of 20 miles outside the county seat of Qixian County had been completely destroyed! The locusts have flapped their wings to the south, and the minister has sent messengers to report urgently to the counties of the south road! ”

"Chen Feng Yijun is too urgent! On May 10th, the locusts entered Fengyi County! Countless wheat fields have been destroyed! The flying locusts landed, and the grass was yellow all over the ground! Beyond the five zhangs, each man cannot distinguish one another! The locusts landed in the city of Jin, and every household, stove, bed, and desk was covered with locusts! The soldiers and civilians of the whole city, the people are terrified, exclaiming, panicking, wailing, and worshipping, one after another! ”

"The captain of the military academy of the minister Fuyi is urgent. The locusts entered the realm of the ministers. Everywhere he passed, there were no wheat fields or pastures. There are aliens in the territory, and people are panicked. If there is no food relief, the army will be suppressed. I'm afraid there is something I can't bear to say! ”

"Minister Chang'an supervised the army and Du pre-reported urgently...... The locusts gnawed on the wheat fields, and the winter wheat that was about to be harvested was destroyed. The people are depressed! I don't know what to do, I don't know how many! There are those who commit suicide by hanging beams! There are those who commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water! In the rule of the ministers, Chang'an, where the original folk customs were simple, robberies, thefts, and killings were frequent! The people's will is on the verge of collapse......"

"Chenjing Zhaoyin reported urgently...... The wheat fields are ruined, and the price of food is skyrocketing! Within Jingzhao, grain dealers took advantage of this to hoard grain and sit on the ground to raise prices! Since the day of the Messenger's departure, the price of local grain has skyrocketed from 100 yuan a stone a month ago to 480 yuan a stone! Although the minister opened the Jingzhao Mansion Treasury to sell grain, the people panicked and rushed to buy it, and the minister could not continue! ”

"General Sima Wang, the general of the Western Expedition, is in a hurry! Flying locusts cover the sky and the sun sets into the barracks, gnawing on military rations. On the day the minister sent the report, most of the 300,000 stone military rations with the army had been lost! Most of the ministers' troops come from Guanzhong. The locust plague in Guanzhong caused the soldiers to worry about the elderly, children, women and children at home. Therefore, the morale of the whole army plummeted! I implore Your Majesty to send food to Luoyang for disaster relief as soon as possible! Stabilize the morale of the army and the people! ”
