The sun gradually rose in the east, and the fair sun shone on no one, whether rich or poor, high or low, he did not discriminate equally;

After a night of fighting, everyone was exhausted and nervous; Lü Bu's army attacked several times but failed to break Cao's position, just as Lü Bu's army could not break its own position, Cao's army also failed to break through and was besieged in Dongcheng...

Washing his face with cold water, Cao Cao squeezed his eyebrows to sober himself up, the soldiers also needed him to guide him in the direction of the light;

Squinting, Cao Cao stared at the sun, suddenly! A small black dot flew over quickly, and Cao Cao roared hoarsely: "Defend against arrows——! ”

After shouting, he nested beside the stone pier to avoid the black spots that shot at him; Cao Jun, who was highly nervous, also quickly looked for cover to avoid the possible arrow shots;

For a minute or two, the rain of arrows in Cao Cao's mouth still did not fall, as if it was still still in the air, and a small black dot slowly landed;

It lifted its strong thighs, jumped in front of Cao Cao, and announced its arrival proudly;

Seeing its arrival, Cao Cao fell down weakly, as if he had lost all hope, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over!" ”

Li Yu, who hurried to Puyang on the way to the rescue, also closed his eyes and was silent, "Ah! A roar! Li Yu punched through the plank of the carriage he was riding, and the blood on his hands trickled, but he didn't care;

A year's hard work may be in vain! Can Li Yu not be angry? It's the beginning of July, when the crops are thriving, and these things are going to kill the crops! It will also take the lives of the people of Yanzhou and even the people of Dahan!

The Qingzhou Army and the Montenegrin Army, which were converted from the peasant army, naturally knew its terrible nature, and they also wailed all over the field for a while, crying endlessly!

What is it that makes Cao Cao, who has always been strong, so powerless? What makes the calm Li Yu so out of shape? What is it that makes a warrior who is not even afraid of death wail and cry?

In July 192 AD, a terrible "locust plague" occurred in Dahan Jiangshan in this year!

The army of locusts that covered the sky and the sun swept almost half of the Han Dynasty, no one could resist it, they were everywhere, grain, weeds, and even leaves and flowers were their targets, and they gnawed every inch of land;

Eat! Eat! Eat! They ate it all! All that is left for people is to cry and shout, but even when they are screaming and screaming, people don't dare to open their mouths wide, for fear that these things will get into their mouths!

The north of the Yellow River, the west of Longshan, the Jiangdong Basin, and the Shuzhong Basin, no one is immune, and all of them are visited by these uninvited guests...

"Cheer me up! If you can't save your life, what kind of life will your family live after the locust plague! I think you'll figure it out for yourselves! Right now! Listen to me! Break out! Fight the locust plague! To survive! Kill! Cao Cao stood high on the stone pier and shouted emotionally: "Let's go home!" ”

The locust plague brought the morale of Cao's army to its lowest point, and because of Cao Cao's emotional incitement, it bottomed out and remained high;

"Kill! Kill! Kill!···", Cao Jun's sudden burst of momentum suppressed Lu Bujun, it was an indomitable momentum! Cao Jun, who had the supreme and pure faith, fought for what they wanted to protect, and was naturally invincible;

The state army is not without faith, they are also one of the few armies with faith; Their beliefs and totems are Lu Bu, but Lu Bu himself is a non-believer, how can he bring these people who believe in him?

Fearless of spears passing by, vowing to kill opponents; Don't be afraid of the big knife in your brain, and you are determined to kill your opponent! Under this style of fighting, the state army gradually collapsed;

Even if their beliefs and totems, the god of war Lu Bu personally supervised the battle, they couldn't stop the crazy Cao Jun, this peerless fierce man who seriously injured Dian Wei and almost killed Cao Cao no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't calm the army's heart;

It's not that our army can't do it, but the Cao army is too fierce!

"Boom!" The city gate of Puyang Dongcheng was breached, and Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army rushed in first, and the roaring Montenegrin Army behind him also followed;

Under the cover of the locust plague that covered the sky and the sun, the Cao army finally withdrew from Puyang City safely, and the battle here came to an end.

··········· Dividing line

Cao Jun didn't stop for a moment, he went straight to Xuchang City and returned, the situation reached the point where there was no time to delay, and Lu Bu was no longer their main enemy!

Li Yu stood in the hall of the city hall of Xuchang City, surrounded by people, including Cao Cao, who were listening carefully to his words;

"For now! There is good news, and it can be regarded as a little comfort for us! The newly reclaimed tuntian outside Xuchang City was less affected and may only reduce production by 30%! Tell everyone this, not to show off my Li Yu's exploits! But I want to tell you! There is no quick and effective way to deal with the locust plague! Only prevention is fundamental! ”

"Then why is the Tuntian outside Xuchang less affected? Please also ask Huaide to give advice! As a local supervisor, he has a lot of experience in agriculture, and he is eager to know the tricks;

"It's easy!" Li Yu said loudly: "Because we cultivated the field around May, this is not important, the important thing is that I use the measure of deep ploughing of the land, so that the insect eggs in the field will be frozen to death by the cold weather at that time!" This is also the most effective measure at the moment! I recommend! Every year for planting, plough the land on one side after the autumn harvest, and plough the land on the other side before spring ploughing! In this way, it can not only clear the crop stubble and loosen the land; It can also kill insect eggs and prevent such a locust plague from happening! ”

"And for now! We still have to fight the locust plague! Li Yu stretched out his index finger and pointed straightly: "First!" The grain harvest in Xuchang alone is not enough to make us through next year! So we have to think about how to get food and grass! ”

Cao Cao had a bitter face: "Alas! How can anyone still lend us grain and grass? ”

"In the land of Yingchuan and Runan, there are still remnants of the Yellow Turban Yu Dang He Yi and Huang Shao, etc., who plundered the prefectures and counties, and there were many gold silks and grains; Such thieves are easy to break; Break and take its grain to feed the three armies, the court is happy, the people are happy, it is a matter of good luck! Why don't you go? Xun Yu, who has been stationed in Xuchang for a long time, received the news of the looting of the Yellow Turban Army in his hometown a few days ago, and he is not easy to deal with because he has no soldiers in hand;

Speaking out at this time can just lift the crisis there in one fell swoop, and it can also help Yanzhou alleviate the current predicament, why not!

Cao Cao reluctantly smiled: "Good! Tomorrow is the past! Wilder continued! ”
