0208: Crisis of the Huns

and Meiji County, Xihe County.

"What?! Are you right?! The Han people of the entire state have already regarded the insects as food?! Yuvro asked in disbelief, his expression a little glazed, obviously unable to believe this fact. You must know that during this period of time, he has not slept well almost every day, and even asked Jinerdan to lead many shamans every day, because he was worried that Li Yi's actions would lead to punishment from heaven, so that the Huns who were also in the state were implicated.

But now? He spent so many days in fear, but the news came that the soldiers and civilians of the state had completely used the heavenly worm in his heart as food? And even developed a variety of practices? How can this be acceptable to Yuvro? If it weren't for the soldier in front of him but the guards he personally sent, he wondered if this man was a fake.

After a long while, Yu Fuluo muttered to himself in some despair, "How can this be? How so! "It's July now, the locust plague has come to an end, and the grasslands and cultivated fields of Shuofang, Shangjun, and Xihe have already been eaten up. Unlike the Han people, because they still regarded it as a celestial worm, all the Huns just watched this happen, and did not dare to do anything disrespectful at all.

But now! In the case of the Han people hunting and killing locusts, although the specific situation is not clear to Yu Fuluo, but if you think about it, you can guess that under this locust plague, the situation of the Han people will be much better than them. At least, this autumn, the Han people will not have no harvest, but they Huns, this winter will not be easy.

"How so?! How so! Ivro kept walking up and down the room, his expression a little agitated, for the situation was too unfavorable for him.

Its own combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Han people, although there are more cavalry, but use cavalry to attack the city? Isn't that a joke?! Moreover, even in a field battle, as long as the Han army is on the defensive side, it is very difficult to win in the face of the Han people, who are far stronger than the Huns in terms of equipment, tactics, and discipline. You must know that the northern Hu people in the past dynasties have been able to maintain the offensive against the civilization of the Central Plains in the south, relying on the advantage of simply running if you can't beat it, and you can't catch up with it.

Originally, Yu Fuluo's plan was to confine Li Yi and others to Manbo with superior forces, and then continue to gather his clansmen to expand his own troops, and then gather troops to attack Taiyuan and other prosperous areas, and gradually encroach on the counties of the prefecture. In the end, even if he didn't attack Mamber, Li Yi would only have one way to lose.

It's just that now, a drought and the locust plague that followed, coupled with being bluffed by Li Yi and retreating to Meiji, have made the beautiful things that Yu Fuluo had thought about come to naught. Of course, at that time, Yufro was still not too worried. After all, he is short of food here, isn't there a shortage of Li Yi on his side? Although he may get the support of the imperial court, if there is a rebellion everywhere today, how much support can Li Yi get?

As long as he took advantage of the enemy's shortage of food to launch an attack, Yu Fuluo believed that except for Wuyuan County, which Li Yi personally guarded, the other counties would not be too difficult to defeat, not to mention the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and the Yellow Turban Army of Baibo Valley.

But now, the threat of drought and locust plague has reduced Li Yi to a minimum, although he is still in a state of food shortage, but there is no doubt that the situation will be much better than that of the Huns. You must know that because the grassland has been eaten up, Yu Fuluo has not known how many livestock have been killed to alleviate the crisis of lack of forage.

As for the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro and the Yellow Turban Army of Baibo Valley, their combat effectiveness and actions directly disappointed Yu Fuluo to the extreme. Sometimes, he even reflects on whether the opportunity he thinks doesn't exist at all. It's just that whenever he thinks about it, he quickly throws this thought out of his mind. Because regret is never something a man should do.

Having said that, the crisis of lack of grain and grass is actually not something that the Huns have not experienced, but even if they can carry it until next autumn's harvest, will the state at that time be like this? Will the troops under Li Yi's command still be the thousands of people they were at the beginning?! Although he sent Huyuquan to Baibo Valley to join forces with the Yellow Turban Army led by Guo Tai, in addition to the counties south of the West River getting some grain, grass and military supplies, the strategy of attacking Hedong was strongly resisted by Zhu Jun, and so far, he has still not been able to capture even a county seat in Hedong.

At this moment, a pro-soldier hurriedly rushed over, "Shan ...... Shan Yu, the old Shan Yu is coming. ”

"What is he doing here?!" Yu Fuluo was stunned when he heard this, obviously not understanding what Qiangqu was doing at this time. Although Qiangqu was put under house arrest, Yu Fuluo still had a trace of family affection after all, so he basically did not restrict Qiangqu's movements, but he couldn't go out of the city, and his cronies would follow him at any time.

Although he was puzzled, Yu Fuluo immediately asked Qiangqu to come in. After all, no matter what, he is still his father, and during this time, Qiang Qu has not made any strange moves.

"The child has seen his father." After Qiangqu came in, Yu Fuluo respectfully helped him to his seat, and then said with a salute. I have to say that when there is no longer an entanglement of interests, Yu Fuluo is still a very filial and good child.

"Shan Yu, I only heard about one thing this time......" Qiang Qu did not be polite to him after sitting down, but went directly to the topic.

"Father, please speak." Yu Fuluo replied respectfully.

"Then Li Yi really turned the heavenly worm into food?" Qiang Qu looked at Yu Fuluo with blazing eyes and asked.

Hearing this, Yu Fuluo nodded and said, "Yes, then Li Yi not only ordered people to hunt and kill natural insects, but also personally ate natural insects, and now, in the place of the Han people in Bingzhou, locusts have not only been on the table, but also studied many ways to eat them." ”

He didn't hide anything, after all, Meiji was so lively these days, even if Qiang Qu was locked up in the mansion, it was impossible not to know, not to mention that Yu Fuluo didn't restrict him from going out or contacting other people at all. In fact, now that this matter has already spread all over the state, even if you want to hide it, there is no possibility at all.

Seeing Yu Fuluo's admission, Qiang Qu's face suddenly became gloomy, "What happened to Huyu Spring's attack on Hedong?" ”

"There is no progress, the person in charge of guarding the east of the river is the famous general Zhu Jun of the Han family, and most of our army is cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley cannot be compared with the Han officers and soldiers......" Yu Fuluo shook his head and said.

"Alas...... In this way, we Hu people are about to come to a catastrophe! Qiang Qu sighed when he heard this.

Regarding Qiangqu's words, Yu Fuluo did not get angry or deny it, because the actual situation is indeed like this. lack of food, panic, and poor siege of the city...... Yu Fuluo seems to have seen that when the autumn harvest arrives next year, it will be time for Li Yi to lead the army to push them flat in one go. After all, Li Yi is now recruiting troops in Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Shangdang, and it is obviously impossible to hide it from them.

"I wonder if Father has any ideas that can help us get through this difficult time?" Yu Fuluo asked when he heard this, with a hint of expectation and confusion in his tone. Looking forward to it, it is because he really hopes that his father can help him, and he is entangled, naturally because of the things he did to Qiangqu before.

"Alas......" Hearing this, Qiang Qu sighed heavily, and then fell into deep thought, obviously for a while, he didn't have any good ideas. After a long while, he looked at Yu Fuluo and said, "Why don't you send someone to contact the Xianbei people in the north." ”
