Chapter 284: The Locust Plague Is Coming
Feng Ji was obviously still prejudiced against Lu Bu, and Tian Feng sneered again.
"Yuan Hao has something to say, so he doesn't have to sneer all the time." Yuan Shao frowned and said to Tian Feng.
"People's temperament can be changed, I heard that Lu Fengxian was young overnight, and now just looking at his appearance, he is like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy." Tian Feng replied: "I can even change my appearance, what else can't I change?" ”
Tian Feng said in a word, and he didn't know how to respond to what Feng Ji said.
Frowning and glaring at him viciously, Feng Ji asked, "Did Yuan Hao get any benefits from Cao Mengde?" ”
"I don't have a relationship with him, what good can I get from him?" Tian Feng replied with a sneer: "Yuan Tu can't make sense, could it be that he will pour dirty water on people?" ”
"That's it!" The two argued, and Yuan Shao said on the side: "You two are arguing, and I don't understand why." Let's not talk about this matter for now, and then discuss it later. ”
Yuan Shao has always been a difficult thing to deal with, so that many things are pushed back and forth, and in the end, they are not resolved.
"Lord!" Yuan Shao wanted to push this matter away, but Tian Feng didn't give him a chance: "If there is no eyebrow on the matter, how can it no longer be discussed?" ”
"What else does Yuan Hao want?" Yuan Shao asked impatiently.
"In the past, when the lord had affairs, he always delayed them." Tian Feng said: "However, this matter is related to the survival of Hebei, and it must not be delayed." ”
Yuan Shao didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Tian Feng came to the end, which made him a little annoyed.
"I said, don't talk about it again!" Yuan Shao stood up angrily and glared at Tian Feng angrily.
Tian Feng, who was still tepid in speech just now, was also in a high-pitched mood at this time.
He glared back at Yuan Shao: "If the lord doesn't make it clear, Hebei will fall into your hands sooner or later." ”
"Tian Yuanhao, don't go too far!" Yuan Shao's forehead was bulging, he pointed at Tian Feng, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" ”
"I'm a Hebei staff, and the lord is the lord of Hebei, so it's not easy to kill me?" Tian Feng didn't let it go at all: "Just kill me, what kind of notoriety the main guild bears, it should be better than me." ”
Tian Feng was obviously threatening, but Yuan Shao had nothing to do with him.
Gritting his teeth with hatred, Yuan Shao pointed at him and nodded: "You are ruthless, count you ruthless!" ”
Yuan Shao brushed his sleeves away, and Tian Feng actually wanted to follow.
The other person sitting hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him: "Okay, okay, Yuan Hao has a similar, don't let the lord not get off the stage." ”
The person who hugged Tian Feng was about forty years old.
He is a famous scholar in Hebei.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have the same temper, but Fu Zhu is a little more restrained than him, and the relationship between the two is also good.
Hugged by frustration, Tian Feng said: "The lord's delay like this will definitely put Hebei in a desperate situation." ”
"Don't say it, don't say it!" Frustrated and persuaded: "Yuan Hao's temper really has to be changed. ”
When Tian Feng was arguing with Yuan Shao, the judges, Feng Ji and others all had good expressions on their faces, and none of them stepped forward to explain.
Liu Bei also lowered his head, and didn't dare to interject at all, for fear of provoking fire.
Those who dare to step forward to dissuade are unwilling to come forward, those who dare not come forward are willing but powerless, and the only one who can persuade Tian Feng is frustration.
was hugged by frustration, Tian Feng complained, and didn't say more.
Let's not mention that Guo Jia and Xu Chu went to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao.
It is only said that Lu Bu reorganized the strength of the Chaohu army and returned to Pengcheng with the strengthened army.
After entering the boundary of Xuzhou, which was still far from Pengcheng, he found that the situation was not good.
The fields I passed through were bare, as if they had been gnawed by something, and some of the fields were barren.
Since he occupied Xuzhou, the people have been allocated land, and there should be no fields left uncultivated.
Really puzzled, Zhou Yu beside him pointed forward: "Wen Hou, there seems to be someone over there." ”
Following the direction pointed by Zhou Yu, Lu Bu saw that there were indeed a few people in the field in front of him.
The men were crouching on the ground, and two women were crying.
"Bring someone here." Lu Bu instructed Sun Ce.
Sun Ce stepped forward with two guards, and brought people back after a while.
Coming to Lu Bu were seven or eight grief-stricken farmers and peasant women.
I don't know who Lu Bu is, but from the army he leads, these people can also see that he must be a nobleman.
Standing in front of Lu Bu with her head down, several people still looked sad, and the woman sobbed, looking like she wanted to hold back her crying, but she really couldn't help it.
"What's going on? Why is there not even a single crop in the field? Lu Bu asked: "Could it be that you are lazy and refuse to plant the fields you give?" ”
"Noble Mingjian!" A farmer replied with trepidation: "We have planted crops, but we have been eaten by a locust plague recently." ”
Looking back at the empty fields, the farmer couldn't help but sob.
"locusts, how can we live?" The woman's emotions were always more controlled, and immediately one of the women began to cry.
"Why didn't I see locusts?" Lu Bu asked, "Where did you go?" ”
"The crops in the vicinity were all eaten, and they went to Chenzhuang." The villagers pointed in the direction where the locusts went.
Lu Bu shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers, follow me to cure the locust plague!" ”
When he returned to Xuzhou, he encountered a plague of locusts, and the soldiers also knew that the matter was serious, so they followed Lu Bu to the direction pointed out by the farmer.
An army of thousands of men marched quickly along a road that was not too wide.
After walking for about two or three miles, Lu Bu saw that the sky in front of him was dark and oppressive, like a black cloud that would flow rapidly, surging towards the green crops.
Seeing the overwhelming locusts, Zhou Yu said: "It's over, it's over, so many locusts." This year's crop does not look like there will be a harvest......"
"As long as I'm here, I've never heard of locusts that can make waves." Lu Bu shouted: "Soldiers, all prepare guys, and I will go to catch locusts!" ”
The soldiers shouted, and followed him to the field where the locust plague was taking place.
In the fields, farmers and peasant women from nearby villages are waving their clothes to fight locusts.
When the soldiers came, Lu Bu shouted: "Don't trample the locusts, catch me alive, as many as you want!" ”
Countless locusts flew, and the wind with flapping wings roared like the engines of airplanes.
Although they did not understand why Lu Bu wanted the locusts to live, after the soldiers rushed into the fields, they still untied their clothes, and after beating down the locusts, they put them in the cloth bags they carried with them.
Locust plagues often occur during the day, fight all day, and by the evening the locusts have stopped, but the soldiers and villagers are exhausted.
