The three of them had just signed a secret covenant (cutting Jiangxia County to Sun Ce, this matter could not be exposed for the time being), Liu Bei immediately got up and said as the master: "You have worked hard all the way, and you have already ordered someone to prepare a little wine just now, and please enjoy it." ”

According to the peace treaty, Shouchun City also belonged to Liu Bei, and from the moment the peace treaty was signed, Liu Bei was already the master here.

Sun Ce and Cao Cao glanced at each other, then got up and said, "Xuande Gongmeiyi, how can we not obey?" ”

Although the three of them were full of contradictions, and the previous negotiations were even about to tear their faces, because of their experience of fighting together, their feelings were still relatively deep compared to those of other princes.

And although the spheres of influence of the three are connected, because Cao Cao needs to face the pressure of Lu Bu and Diao Chan at the same time, Liu Bei also has a business eye, and Sun Ce is even more miserable, so far there is no place to live, so the three of them have a feeling of sympathy.

They all intended to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen ties and unite against other princes (especially the Shang).

However, as soon as the three of them got up, they suddenly felt that the mountains were shaking, and loud noises kept coming out.

Although the three of them panicked, they ordered everyone to withdraw from the crumbling hall, and then they were stunned by the scene in front of them!

In Shouchun City, the towering pavilions are easily broken like matchsticks, the rows of high-rise buildings collapse in pieces, and the towering inner city walls in the distance seem to be clay sculptures under the destruction of the earth, and they are broken inch by inch!

The earthquake did not last long, only about a quarter of an hour, and Shouchun City could almost be said to be destroyed!

The entire Shouchun City was a sea of fire, the broken earth, the rising flames, the collapsed buildings, and the earth-shattering wail, this scene made Liu Bei look at it with tears in his eyes.

"Help! Help! Hurry up and save people!! ”

After reacting, Liu Bei shouted hurriedly and immediately gave orders to Guan Zhang and others.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei turned around and looked at Sun Ce and Cao Cao, with a pleading look in his eyes: "Duke Cao, Sun Yangzhou!! ”

Cao Cao and Sun Ce glanced at each other and nodded: "Xuande Gong rest assured, on the occasion of this natural disaster, we will naturally not stand idly by." ”

After speaking, Cao Cao and Sun Ce also gave orders to the troops under their command, ordering them to send troops into the city for disaster relief.

Fortunately, because the agreement was not reached before, the main forces of the three armies were stationed outside the city, and the damage caused by the earthquake to the army was not great, otherwise it would not be a disaster relief issue now.

After this trip, the meal was naturally uneating.

After the three armies entered the city, the situation in the city improved significantly, at least the basic order was restored.

But because of the impact of the earthquake, almost half of Shouchun City collapsed, and the number of dead people could not be counted at all, and there were corpses everywhere. Even though Cao Liu Sun is a battle-hardened general, he can't help but be shocked when he sees this scene.

At the beginning, Cao Cao and Sun Ce could still help Liu Bei with disaster relief, but as time passed, they couldn't sit still.

The earthquake in Shouchun City seemed to be a signal, and large-scale natural and man-made disasters continued to come from Zhongguo's hometown, with fires, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes rushing up one after another.

Within a few days, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were unable to help Liu Bei anymore, so they hurriedly withdrew their troops and began to save themselves.

With the passage of time, the disaster situation has not only not improved, but has become more and more serious. What makes people feel even more creepy is that a large number of seedlings have died strangely, many of the rice that is about to be harvested have all withered overnight, and the newly planted seeds have not germinated.

The grain reserves in the treasury also began to rot and deteriorate at a rate ten times higher than normal, livestock died inexplicably, and locust plagues swarmed. Less than 10 days after the Shouchun earthquake, the price of grain in Jiujiang County doubled in one day!

On the fifteenth day, with Shouchun City as the center, the phenomenon of well water depletion occurred one after another, and the water level of some perennial rivers also dropped wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, this situation was particularly serious in Jiujiang, Lujiang, Runan, Danyang and other places, Nanyang was slightly better, and Yuzhang and Huiji had the least impact.

The drastic deterioration of the environment has led to a rocket-like rise in grain prices, and when the front line was at its most intense, the grain prices in Jiujiang did not exceed five silver and one stone, but now, as long as you have food, a large number of people have rushed to buy it.

The current situation is that there is no food to buy in Shouchun City, and it doesn't matter how much money you pay, because there is no food at all!

In this case, thieves swarmed, hungry people gathered to grab everything they could eat, Liu Bei's army could not suppress it, for the hungry people who will starve to death tomorrow, it is better to be killed by a sword than to starve to death.

After holding out for more than 30 days, Liu Bei reluctantly gave up, and the whole army withdrew from Yangzhou!

For more than 30 days, Liu Bei not only filled all the military grain into the disaster relief, but also mobilized a large amount of grain from Xuzhou. However, all this is a drop in the bucket, and not even a bubble comes out when you put it in.

Moreover, Xuzhou has been in war for many years, and it is not rich itself, Liu Bei's own food is tight, and it is already a miracle that he can last for thirty days.

In fact, it was not only Liu Bei who retreated, Cao Cao, who was originally going to compete with Liu Biao, had no choice but to withdraw from Nanyang, and even Runan gave up.

The disaster situation in Runan is second only to Jiujiang, and the situation in Nanyang is slightly better, but there is a gap between Runan, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to rescue Nanyang in the air.

Liu Biao is no exception, Nanyang, who originally earned your life and death, instantly became an outcast, lest he avoid it.

Sun Ce didn't run, mainly because he couldn't avoid it, and the disaster situation in Yuzhang County and Huiji County was much better than that in the above-mentioned areas, and there was a heavy amount of grain and grass for Yuan Shu's army, which could barely be supported.

But Sun Ce's ability is limited to this, let him go to Danyang and other counties, which is not within his ability.

The retreat of the princes directly led to the complete collapse of Nanyang, Runan, Jiujiang, Danyang, Wujun and other places, not to mention the relief of the victims, even the most basic order was gone, and it was the most common situation to draw swords for a mouthful of food, and even the tragic situation of Yizi cannibalism was constantly staged.

According to Guo Jia's prediction, this disaster will last at least until the end of next year, and will gradually improve the year after next!

On the side of the river, countless ragged victims wandered on the side of the river, and from time to time you could see the victims jumping into the turbulent river with a simple wooden plank.

Guangling, which is only separated by a river from Dantu, is not affected by the backlash of the national fortune, and the hungry people may have a way to live there.

However, how dangerous the river is, this kind of action can be described as a hundred deaths, and no one dares to try it until it is absolutely necessary.

More people wander the riverside in search of some food such as aquatic plants to satisfy their hunger, and if they are lucky enough to catch some fish and shrimp.

However, the river is turbulent, and from time to time someone falls into the river due to physical exhaustion, but the people around him look numb and don't even look at it, and even the relatives of the wrecked person have no reaction, and they watch their relatives and friends being swept away by the waves.

In this case, a huge ship suddenly sailed into the river.
