On the tenth day of the ninth month of autumn, countless soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong were ordered to cooperate with each other to drive away locusts in the wheat field, and then build arch-shaped objects. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the strength of the large number of people, it took only two days for Guanzhong to enclose the 5 million acres of fertile land in Guanzhong.

If there are people from later generations who come to the land of Guanzhong at this time, they will surely exclaim for it: "My God! What kind of greenhouse is this? ”

That's right! Huafei is indeed based on the characteristics of locusts who do not eat cloth, imitating the plastic greenhouses of later generations on the land of Guanzhong, and ordered people to build a large number of cloth greenhouses to prevent locusts from eating wheat seedlings.

However, although Hua Fei and others were prepared for anything, they made the soldiers and civilians go all out to set up this thing.

But Hua Fei, who likes to be high, thinks that standing on a high place can broaden his horizons, so he saw an incredible scene on the flag pavilion where he lives on weekdays.

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the first month of September, when Hua Fei, who felt tired after finishing his official business, returned to the flag pavilion to rest, he suddenly felt restless, and looked out of the pavilion in all directions.

But suddenly I saw that the land of Guanzhong was surrounded by eight waters, and suddenly countless locusts flew up from the bank of the river where the water level was low, and in just a short period of time, countless dark clouds of "buzzing" were formed in the sky above Guanzhong.

These dark clouds quickly converged into a huge insect net, and in the "buzzing" long sound, they rushed towards the nearby green area.

Almost instantly, the dense locusts devoured all the green as far as the eye could see, and then swooped down on the next place, leaving only a bare branch and other objects in place.

The terrible locust plague broke out so suddenly, so violently! So that Hua Fei was helpless for a while, and he didn't know what to do?

However, Hua Fei reacted quickly, he knew that locusts would eat all edible green, and humans only needed to protect the fertile fields that produced grain.

Therefore, he hurriedly issued an order: all the personnel under his command should not run with the locusts, but only use the fastest speed to protect the wheat field.

Even he and Xu Shu went out with the crowd, raised the blazing torches, and ran to the area around the wheat field to burn the locusts with all their might.

It's a pity that even so, countless locusts still flew into the wheat field that was once covered by the cloth tent.

Hua Fei and the others tried their best to resist, but the locusts were too dense and too concentrated, and they were all "air forces", which made Hua Fei's group of infantry really difficult to parry.

Just as the positions they were defending were falling continuously, perhaps because people helped themselves and God helped them, a vision suddenly appeared between heaven and earth in Guanzhong.

On the southeast side of the Eight Hundred Miles Pass, countless white birds suddenly flew in the air. Wherever these beautiful white birds passed, the locust armies were devoured by them.

The sudden reinforcements made Hua Fei stunned, but he was also ecstatic! He didn't know that maybe it was because everything in heaven and earth followed the principle of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint.

These white birds had already taken off at the time of the locust outbreak a few days ago, and they came from the east and south of the Han Dynasty, and they traveled inland while feeding on locusts.

And because Guanzhong and Yizhou received the order of Huafei not to kill birds, countless white birds could quickly enter the land of Guanzhong. At the same time, Lu Su, who was ordered by Hua Fei, also sent a large number of frogs and toads, chickens, ducks and other things in time.

So there was a scene on the land of Guanzhong, where millions of soldiers and civilians hunted locusts, and frogs, toads, chickens and ducks all helped. Countless white birds are in the pass, and the spectacular scene of eating hundreds of millions of locusts in one fell swoop.

With the arrival of countless allies, Hua Fei and others wiped out the army of locusts on the land of Guanzhong. According to the statistics after the incident, Hua Fei and others reacted extremely well in this locust war, and adopted an extremely correct strategy.

Therefore, the land of 800 miles of Guanzhong, under the condition that the army and the people came out and the unexpected allies joined, successfully protected nearly 4 million acres of fertile land in Xiaguanzhong.

Although they still lost more than one million acres of crops, this result is undoubtedly excellent compared to other places.

For example, in the Hongnong area under Zhang Ji's jurisdiction, not to mention the kind of places where all the crops were eaten by locusts. Even the anti-locust results of Jing, Xu, Yang, Chong, and other places are completely incomparable with Huafei.

If the 4 million mu of fertile land is only calculated according to the algorithm before Huafei's fertilization, and the grain yield per mu is 2 stone per quarter, when the summer solstice next year, Huafei's Guanzhong can also harvest up to 8 million stone of grain, with a total of 216 million catties of grain!

Under such circumstances, Huafei could get 14.4 million catties of grain in taxes, which was enough for 100,000 troops to eat for four months.

What's more, after Huafei fertilized, the yield per mu in Guanzhong was far more than this amount. Moreover, the 1.5 million mu of fertile land under his command of the Tuntian Army was all preserved because of the timely measures.

Hua Fei could almost see that when the harvest came next year, he would no longer have to worry about food and grass. But there's more to it than that.

When the statistics were completely completed, when Xu Shu loudly reported the harvest of the battle against locusts in front of everyone, Hua Fei was taken aback!

At that time, he only heard Xu Shu announce loudly: "In this war against locusts, our army has collected a total of more than 86.98 million catties of locusts. ”

More than 80 million catties of locusts? After hearing this, Hua Fei felt that he couldn't imagine how much delicious meat there was? At the same time, he couldn't figure out why there were so many locusts.

However, he was soon relieved. Because he thought to himself, perhaps because before he came, the ancient people were respectful of locusts, and he was probably the first person in the world to catch locusts to eat.

That's why the locusts this time are very numerous, especially dense! And he not only caught locusts in Guanzhong, but also let Xu Chu and Tai Shici rush to other people's territory to catch them.

Moreover, at that time, in order to make everyone in the world catch locusts, he even ordered Moe Zhu, who was in charge of commerce, to take advantage of the convenience of the business to exchange grain for locusts in various places.

In this way, it is not surprising that he can get so much meat from this battle locust.

With the end of the locust plague, the environment of lack of food and food in Guanzhong was immediately alleviated, and the land of Guanzhong then turned into a situation of vigorously developing internal affairs.

Hua Fei's first thing was to try to invent various delicious ways to eat locusts; After washing the locusts, they are dried in the sun, soaked in salted water and dried again to eat and preserve these vast quantities of delicacies.

Then, in agriculture, he did not stop because the wheat seedlings were eaten up, but quickly sowed wheat again in the damaged fertile fields.

At the same time, he also set up the position of Lang General in the Realm to protect the ecological environment. He also called on the people to take care of trees, birds and insects and other animals and plants that are beneficial to human beings, and called on people to let go of the small and catch the big.

Soon after, the temptation strategy that Hua Fei and others had begun to implement before the locust plague gradually achieved remarkable results.

First of all, there were countless hungry Hebei people, under the protection of Xu Chu's army, and then through the Ganning Navy to cross the river westward through Pubanjin, and then through Linjin to Chang'an City.

Subsequently, a large number of people in the Hongnong area who were suffering from Zhang Ji's exploitation also passed through Tongguan and entered the land of Guanzhong one after another.

Later, in Xiliang, where the battle was in full swing, there were also many people who longed for a peaceful life, and entered the Guanzhong area through Xiaoguan to join Huafei.

Even in Jingzhou under the jurisdiction of Liu Biao, there were countless people in Runan who moved to Jingzhou under the protection of Hua Fei's army, because they heard that Hua Fei had made a comeback in Guandong, and they dragged their families to Guanzhong to find the old master of the year.

Hua Fei, who was worried about the shortage of manpower, saw this situation, and was naturally overjoyed to make proper arrangements for the people who came to defect one by one.

Later, Guanzhong, who won the locust plague, followed Huafei's strategy of enriching the people first if he wanted to strengthen the army, and then completely transferred to the development of internal affairs.

Hua Fei and his subordinates tried their best to take the people of Guanzhong to a well-off life, and strive to make this long-suffering land of Guanzhong shine from the new reflection of its supreme brilliance in the shortest possible time.

This period lasted for a long time, from September until the summer solstice of the following year. During this period of time, because of the wholehearted development of internal affairs, Huafei's harvest is extremely gratifying.

However, although they said that they were fully engaged in the development of domestic affairs, they did not give up their attention to the military aspect. Therefore, after Hua Fei ordered all the officials in Guanzhong to perform their duties, he immediately carried out in-depth discussions and analyses with Xu Shu and others on the information transmitted back from various places.

As a result, the detailed strategic guidelines of the First Army Corps were formulated, and even the Second Army Corps led by Chen Zhi received specific orders. (To be continued.) )
