Bingzhou, although Song Dian said that he was loyal and patriotic and not afraid of hardships and dangers, but when he went to Bingzhou, he still chose the safest road, from Hanoi County to Shangdang County. Although it took a while, at least there was no need to worry about the infestation of the Hu people.

Song Dian did not dress up as an official, not only did he stick a fake beard, but everywhere he went, the guards were also responsible for all kinds of discussions, and that appearance looked like a child of a family in a certain place. Perhaps, he also knew that the eunuchs had a very bad reputation among the people, for fear of encountering some chaotic people who were not afraid of death?

"Humph! Then what else does Li Yi say about the lack of food in the state? Does this look like a lack of food?! There is even the face to ask the court for food and grass! When you go back, you must report to the Holy God truthfully! Song Dian looked at the bustling street and thought to himself.

When he didn't walk for a long time, he suddenly heard a shout, "Fried locusts, fried locusts, 1 money a string, don't miss it when you pass by~"

"Are you really eating?" Hearing this, Song Dian was immediately shocked. Although Li Yishang wrote in Shuzhong that the people of Bingzhou have already enjoyed locusts as a delicacy, it is indeed difficult for everyone, including Liu Hong, the Spirit Emperor, to believe this matter. After all, in their hearts, the locusts had always been messengers from above, sent to warn those in power of calamity when politics was dark. And now, it's turned into eating?

"Go, buy some bunches." Song Dian said to the guards beside him when he heard this.

Hearing this, the guard immediately walked over and bought a few bunches, looking at the golden locusts in his hand, smelling the fragrant smell, Song Dian had to admit that at least from the sensory point of view, this thing seemed to be quite delicious.

"You, eat, eat." Song Dian ordered again.

Hearing Song Dian's order, the guard did not hesitate, opened his mouth and ate directly. He ate quickly, and he seemed to enjoy it very much on his expression, without any reluctance at all.

"How? Is there anything uncomfortable? Song Dian asked in a low voice. The eunuch's voice was sharp and very recognizable, so Song Dian said outside, basically deliberately keeping his voice low and coarse, for fear of encountering some thieves.

"Back to the host, nothing uncomfortable and it tasted very good." The guard said respectfully.

"Is this really edible?" Song Dian thought strangely when he saw this, and then hesitated, but he also opened his mouth to bite the fried locust skewer in his hand.

After the "......" was finished, Song Dian was silent for a moment, and then said to the guard, "Go, buy 20 skewers." As he spoke, he also showed a look of unfinished business, I have to say that for this kind of thing, whether it is the powerful or the people, it is actually the same.

And all the way to Manbai, Song Dian is also really eye-opening, the original locust plague that was extremely headache and helpless by the people, local officials and even the imperial court, but here was warmly welcomed by the people of Bingzhou, they used fireworks to protect the cultivated fields, and at the same time, whether it was adults, children or women, they all waved nets to catch locusts.

And what makes Song Dian even more speechless is that these locusts are in their hands, but they are doing all kinds of tricks, especially restaurants around the country, once which one studies the latest locust practice, it will definitely attract the pursuit of the people. Where is this kind of scene that looks like a half-point drought and locust plague?

"Song Changshi, the villain has inquired, although Bingzhou has indeed experienced drought and locust plagues, but because the three counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Yanmen themselves have enough grain stocks, and under Li Yi's order, no one dares to raise prices at all. So that although the people's food needs to be saved, the impact is not great. One of the guards said respectfully. In addition, it is said that Na Li Yi ordered some livestock to be slaughtered and sold cheaply, which also allowed the people to have enough food to fill their stomachs. ”

"Hmph, then Li Yi is smart." Song Dian snorted coldly when he heard this, he naturally wouldn't fail to understand Li Yi's purpose in doing this. There is a drought in the whole state, and there is a natural shortage of food and grass, not only for people, but also for those livestock. In this case, it is better to sell the extra at a low price, which can not only save food, but also win a good reputation.

Of course, the hidden dangers of doing this are not without it, in fact, Li Yi also hesitated for a long time when he decided to do so. Because the price of livestock is brought down, it is easy to offend the landlords who raise livestock. And the price is down now, will it be good to go up in the future? But in the end, Li Yi did it, because he couldn't watch those livestock starve to death, right? And he also believed in his prestige, enough to suppress any discontent.

Thinking about the key to this, Song Dian suddenly felt a little helpless, because he found that he didn't seem to be able to find any trouble for Li Yi from these two things. The most important thing is that whether it is the Wang family or the Guo family, they are not all the way to the eunuchs.

A few days later, Song Dian and his party finally arrived in Manbo County.

"Huh? Song Dian? How did he get here? After Li Yi heard the report, he suddenly thought strangely, "Could it be that the Holy Lord thinks that I have not been able to defeat those Huns like this, so he sent this eunuch to inspect?" Thinking of this, Li Yi muttered again in his heart, "Am I going to follow in my father's footsteps?" ”

"What should I do if that's the case?" Li Yi's heart was a little worried, he didn't think that this matter was impossible, after all, in his heart, these eunuchs were people who could do anything. It's just that he doesn't have any good ideas when he thinks about it, although he knows that if he sends some bribes to Song Dian, then all worries will no longer matter. But if that's the case, Li Yi believes that his reputation will definitely not be able to smell good in a short time, and he doesn't believe that Zhang will let them go of such a good opportunity.

It's just that although he couldn't think of any good way to deal with it, Li Yi still quickly led people to meet Song Dian. is a regular servant, so naturally he doesn't need Li Yi, the flying general, to greet him personally, but after all, he also represents the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong. If the action is slow, this alone will make Li Yi unlucky.

"Haha, the angel is coming, Ben Hou has lost his welcome, and I hope the angel will not be surprised!" Li Yi walked in front of Song Dian, first arched his hand in the direction of Luoyang, and then laughed at Song Dian.

"Hehe, Li Jun has a lot of nobles, how dare the lower officials be surprised~" Song Dian replied with a smile when he heard this. Since Li Yi left Jingshi, the eunuch and Li Yi have completely stood on opposite sides. Therefore, Song Dian didn't bother to give Li Yi a good face.

"Hehe, it's also true that the angel said that, please inside!" Li Yi chuckled when he heard this, but he was completely too lazy to pretend to be any longer. Li Yi has always pursued the principle that others respect him for a foot, and he respects others for a foot, since Song Dian has torn his face when he came up, how can he pretend? By the way, Li Yi came to greet him this time, and he was the only one......

With Li Yi went to his general's mansion, Song Dian deliberately glanced at Xiao Bai who was lying next to Li Yi, speaking of which, after Li Yi entered the Beijing Face Saint in the past, it was rumored that the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong praised this white tiger as a divine beast, and soon after, it was known to the whole world. It can be said that whether it is a scholar or a eunuch or someone else, they all want to see how divine this divine beast really is. Of course, there are indeed a lot of rumors in the market, all of which are spread by those people or others who have seen Xiaobai, although after the preaching, they have long since changed.

"I wonder why the angel came this time?" After Li Yi ordered someone to serve tea, he asked directly.

"Hehe, Li Junhou don't want to laugh, why did the lower officials come, don't Li Junhou know?" Song Dian sneered when he heard this.

"Of course I don't." Li Yi shook his head casually and said.

"Humph! Since Li Junhou wants to pretend to be confused, then forgive the official for speaking bluntly! It has been two months since the Hu people attacked and killed Wang Rou, the general of the Huns Zhonglang, and rebelled, but Li Junhou seems to have no other actions except for losing the three counties of Shuofang, Shangjun, and Xihe. Song Dian looked at Li Yi and snorted coldly.

"This......" Li Yi suddenly realized when he heard this, "This is also something that cannot be helped, now that there is a great drought in Bingzhou, and there is a locust plague raging, if you send troops to fight, it will undoubtedly consume more food." The angel must have heard that there was no other movement in the hulu, right? The ministry is also worried about food consumption~"

"Humph! Xia Guan traveled all the way, but he didn't see the sad faces of those people because of lack of food. Come to think of it, there should still be a lot of grain in the state, right? And didn't the king take the locusts as food? How can there be a shortage of food? Song Dian sneered and looked at Li Yi and asked.

Hearing this, Li Yi immediately burst out laughing, and it wasn't until Song Dian was about to attack that he looked at him with a sneer and said, "Although the locusts can be eaten, they can't fill their stomachs." If it weren't for Benhou's order to replace it with meat, I'm afraid that Bingzhou would have run out of food a long time ago! ”

As he spoke, Li Yi suddenly glared at Li Yi and asked, "Here, Ben Hou is a little puzzled, why would the Holy Lord refuse to provide grain and grass to Bingzhou?" Come to think of it, it can't be that the saint disagrees, right? ”

"Humph! When the time comes to run out of food, it will naturally support. However, according to the lower officials, the current situation in the state is not a problem, and there is no problem in surviving this drought~" Song Dian snorted coldly.

After speaking, Song Dian suddenly stood up and arched his hand at Li Yi and said, "There are many things to do, and the lower officials don't dare to continue to disturb, so I will leave!" ”

"No." When Li Yi heard this, he responded lightly, but he didn't even bother to do it anymore.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Song Dian's expression suddenly darkened, and then he left the mansion with the guards and went straight out of Mambo. Well? Before inspecting the barracks and defense, why did Song Dian leave? Obviously, in this case, is there any difference between watching and not seeing? In the end, it doesn't all depend on what Song Dian's mouth says?

And Li Yi doesn't know about this? Nature knows. Even he was not the only one, everyone else understood. "My lord, the angel is angry, I'm afraid it's not good for the lord." Wei Zhong, who rushed to hear the news, said worriedly.

"Hehe, he has to go back~" Li Yi smiled as if he was fine, hearing this, Wei Zhong was immediately stunned, looking at Li Yi in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time.

"Baekhyun, are you tired? Let's go back and rest first, otherwise Fu Cheng will see it, but he will have to worry. Li Yi smiled when he saw this.

"No!" Hearing this, Wei Zhong slammed a chilling cicada, and then trotted away quickly, I didn't know, I thought there was some urgent military situation.

"Call me for an appointment." Li Yi shook his head when he saw this, and then said to the person beside him.

"No!"

Not long after, Cao Xing hurried to Li Yi's mansion.

"Lord!" Cao Xuan looked at Li Yi's back and said respectfully.

"Pledge, there's something I'm going to hand over to you." Li Yi turned to look at Cao Xuan and said.

"Please command, my lord!" Cao Xing responded directly when he heard this.

"You find some soldiers who are proficient in Hu and can be trusted, let them dress up as Hu people, pretend to be a squad to raid places, and find an opportunity to shoot that Song Dian and his party!" Li Yi looked at Cao Xuan and said, "Remember, use the arrows of the Hu people!" At the same time, leave a messenger, otherwise I will definitely be suspicious of my head,"

Li Yi's face was calm when he said this, and his tone was flat, as if it was not worth mentioning at all. It's just that, looking at Cao Xuan's shocked or frightened expression, you can know what Cao Xuan has been scared into at this time.

"My lord, this ...... This...... Is this ......" Cao Xuan stammered, just talking for a long time, but couldn't say anything.

"Hehe, I know what you want to say, don't worry, as long as you do a good job here, the court will not suspect us. And ......" Li Yi paused when he said this, and his expression became cold, "Even if they doubt it, I will make them dare not touch me!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Xing knew that Li Yi had made up his mind, and hurriedly responded, "Please rest assured, lord!" The subordinates will definitely do this well and will not let anyone doubt it! ”

"Well, go ahead." Li Yi waved his hand and said. Just after finishing speaking, Li Yi shouted again, "Wait, this can't be done!" ”

As he spoke, he ignored Cao Xing, and stood there contemplating, but Cao Xuan didn't dare to disturb when he saw this, so he had to stand in place and wait. After a long while, Li Yicai said a few more words to him, and Cao Xing left the general's mansion in a hurry.

After Cao Xing left, Li Yi thought about it, took out the wooden slip and wrote a copy of Shangshu, and sent someone to quickly send it to Jingshi. After doing all this, he touched Xiao Bai, who was still sleeping, and sneered, "I really can't imagine that the honeymoon period will pass so soon." Maybe...... Is it because the power of the scholars is too great? ”

For Song Dian to be so unscrupulous, Li Yi somewhat guessed a little reason, after all, not long ago, he also received the news that Huangfu Song was deposed. The art of balance, Li Yi figured out that it was not difficult to understand this, after all, when he entered Beijing, he felt that the power of the eunuchs did not seem to be as strong as he had in his impression.

I think it's because after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the power of the scholars began to grow again, so that the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong had to start interfering in this situation. After all, it is not too difficult to understand how the relatives and eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty got up.

In a deserted outskirts, Song Dian and his party were quickly heading towards Taiyuan County, but at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was a Han cavalry squad, about 20 people.

"What's going on?!" Song Dian, who was sitting in the carriage, felt something strange and poked his head out and asked.

"Song Changshi, a cavalry squad has come. But there is no flag, I don't know where the troops are. The leader of the guards replied respectfully.

"Humph! I think it's the troops who are going to other places to give orders, leave them alone, and keep going! Song Dian snorted coldly when he heard this, and then he shrank back, he was thinking about how to frame Li Yi.

Hearing this, the leader stopped paying attention to the cavalry, and turned to continue leading the team forward, but with a flick of his fingers, he realized that something was wrong, because instead of going away, the cavalry was getting closer and closer to him.

"Stop!" The leader shouted, and at the same time stepped back to look at the approaching cavalry and shouted, "Where are you troops?" Over here...... Not good! The leader's words were general, and he suddenly shouted in horror, but it was the cavalry who collectively bent their bows and arrows, and in an instant a rain of arrows struck.

"Protect Song Changshi!" The leader shouted, and at the same time immediately organized a counterattack, but the combat effectiveness of this cavalry was obviously beyond his imagination, and soon, more than a dozen guards were killed in the battle, and the other party was not even injured.

"Who the hell are you?! Did Li Yi send you here?! Song Dian looked at the group of people in horror and asked. But it was an arrow that answered him. With the "Poof! With a bang, the sharp arrow passed through his chest, and poor Song Dian died with his eyes wide open, and he didn't know who killed him until he died.

Seeing this, the leader did not dare to stay any longer, and fled directly from his horse. As soon as he turned around, he felt a pain in his back and almost fell off the horse. However, he gritted his teeth and slapped his crotch mount fiercely, and in a short time he disappeared from the eyes of those cavalrymen.

"Hmph, I can run very fast, fortunately I've been paying attention, otherwise it would be really troublesome!" A cold snort sounded, but it was the leader, looking carefully, who was it if it wasn't Cao Xing?

"All the corpses will be mended again, so that nothing will slip through the net!" Cao Xuan ordered in a cold voice.

And on the other side, Meiyang County.

Zhang Wen sat on the top with a gloomy face, and below, the faces of Yuan Peng and some generals were also not good-looking, but Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen and some generals looked at all this with a sneer, as if they were really looking at jokes?

It was naturally impossible for Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen's expressions Zhang Wen not to see it, but he couldn't say anything. Because...... He was defeated, yes, in the face of 180,000 enemy troops, Zhang Wen was defeated, although the losses were not large, and even after the enemy defeated the officers and soldiers, he directly retreated to Yixian, but defeat is defeat!

And the reason for the failure is well known to everyone in the account, that is, because Dong Zhuo and others did not contribute to their work, but they still can't find a little handle, and it can even be said that if it wasn't for Dong Zhuo and they repelled the enemy in the end, it would have become a big defeat, but it's hard to say.

It's just that because of this, Zhang Wen is very dissatisfied, because he feels that this is Dong Zhuo putting pressure on him, telling him in this way that only by using him Dong Zhuo can he defeat the enemy. But obviously, it is impossible for Zhang Wen to do this. Because once this happens, how can the eunuch power not become bigger?

Although this discussion was the reason for the failure of the post-war discussions, it was clear that it was impossible to discuss what the outcome was. Soon, everyone dispersed, and seeing that the generals surrounding Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen increased again, Zhang Wen and Yuan Peng's expressions became even more ugly.

"General Zhang, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will not be good for us......" Yuan Peng whispered.

"I know that whether we use Dong Zhuo and them, or continue to consume them like this, it will not be good for us. But you and I are not too good at the way of soldiers, and the generals under our command are ......" Zhang Wen sighed helplessly, although he felt that Sun Jian seemed to be usable, but only one Sun Jian, what use could it be?

Speaking of this, Zhang Wen suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Yuan Peng and said, "Vice General Yuan, we can find someone from the imperial court!" ”

"Someone? Wouldn't that be too obvious? Yuan Peng froze for a moment when he heard this, and then said strangely.

"It's certainly not enough to ask for people alone, but we can make excuses! Don't you think that the enemy's cavalry is stronger than ours? Zhang Wen said with a chuckle.

"What does General Zhang mean by requisitioning from Youzhou?" Yuan Fan immediately understood what Zhang Wen meant, but then he frowned again, "Although this method is good, where is there a suitable candidate in Youzhou?" ”

"Hehe, I have a candidate, but I just remembered it." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"I don't know who it is?" When Yuan Peng heard this, he suddenly became interested.

"Zhuoxian County Commander Gongsun Zhan, who is a disciple of Lu Shangshu, has been an official in Youzhou for a long time, and was promoted to Zhuoxian County Commander because of his military exploits against the Hu people." Zhang Wen said in a deep voice, "I once heard that Lu Shangshu mentioned this disciple, and I think the ability will not be bad!" And even if it's not good, with Youzhou's elite cavalry, the chances of winning our army will be greater. ”

The two discussed for a while, and then sent someone to the court.

And in a certain house in Meiyang County, "I don't know if this Dong Zhuo will be reused in this case?" If it still hasn't been reused, you should be able to try to get in touch with it. Zhang Ning pondered.

When Zhang Wen and others were discussing the method, a grand celebration banquet was being held, and at the banquet, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, and Bian Zhang were laughing and drinking, obviously very satisfied with this victory.

Yes, just the four of them, because the 55,000 doumi dao sent by Zhang Xiu was playing soy sauce almost from beginning to end in the war, or rather, they had to play soy sauce, because they were not opponents of the officers and soldiers at all. This kind of performance, how could it be possible for Han Sui to pay attention to them? Not to mention that they don't look down on these rice thieves in Hanzhong in the first place.

Well? In that case, why co-opt them? The reason is simple, there are many people.

They were drinking and teasing with two beautiful women in their arms, looking so unhappy, but they also had a reason to be happy. After all, the officers and soldiers were defeated~

But speaking of which, if they know that they will win this war, it is not at all how strong they are. Even after the defeat, when Zhang Wen didn't take them seriously at all, I wonder if they would still be so happy?
