"The minister obeys the order, but the top priority at the moment is to ban Chuzhou, and the minister asks the emperor to immediately transfer troops, and order the three towns of Chuzhou to take place immediately, and once the locust plague starts, immediately ban all access to Chuzhou. Our time is running out......"

"Ban Chuzhou, what about Chuzhou?"

"Only by controlling the scope of the locust plague can the emperor save Chuzhou, if you don't sacrifice Chuzhou first in exchange for the safety of Shenzhou, then the entire land of Shenzhou is afraid that corpses will be everywhere. ”

"Your Majesty, what Lu Sheng said is reasonable, first give up Chuzhou to protect Shenzhou, and then gather the power of Shenzhou to save Chuzhou. Shen Ruoyu's voice on the other side sounded eagerly.

"Chuzhou...... Chuzhou ...... Chuzhou has 50 million of my people—" Ji Zheng let out a painful howl.

"Please make a decision!" Shen Ruoxu's voice came from his ears.

"Please make a decision!" Lu Sheng hurriedly admonished.

"Please make a decision, the ministers and Chuzhou will live and die together!"

"If it is false, it is intended to order the armies of the three towns of Chuzhou to bring the city defense army, and Xuantianwei to cooperate with the action, and immediately take the position of the eight gates of Chuzhou to block the forbidden formation, once the locust plague starts, Chuzhou will be banned, and not a locust will be allowed to cross the border.

Let the household department immediately dispatch the grain money urgently, call the granaries of Guanzhong and Jiangnan Province, and urgently send them to Chuzhou for disaster relief.

Lu Qing, He Xingzhi, I want Shenzhou, I want Chuzhou, Shenzhou wants to be safe, and Chuzhou must be preserved intact. Do you understand what I said?"

"Obey the order!"

Exiting the communication connection, Lu Sheng turned his head and looked at He Xingzhi, who was constantly wiping cold sweat. He Xingzhi also happened to raise his head and look over, and his eyes were full of admiration and gratitude when he looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's way of reporting is very powerful, and he even shifted the firepower with a fight, otherwise he would have to change He Xingzhi's own report, and it is estimated that he should be ordered to cut himself now.

"He Taishou, now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief, what we have to do now is the top priority, if there is a mistake in Chuzhou, the two of us will have to be buried together. ”

"Lord Lu, as long as you can keep Shenzhou, you won't be this sinner for the ages, and the old man is already satisfied. ”

"But I don't want to die yet. Lu Sheng drank in a gloomy voice.

"Yes, Lord Lu has the talent to govern the world, so it's a pity to accompany Chuzhou for the funeral. Don't worry, when the time comes, I will stop all the blame, even if I leave you stinking for 10,000 years, I will return your innocence, and I hope that in the future, Lord Lu will be able to correct He's name. ”

"He Taishou, you gave up so quickly, what should the people of Chuzhou do?"

"Lord Lu misunderstood what I meant, we naturally want to save the people of Chuzhou, and we naturally want to save Chuzhou. Whatever the outcome, I'm going to do it.

Therefore, Lord Lu, I hope you don't have the psychological burden to go all out to complete this imperial mandate. He, thank you here. ”

"Lord Taishou is too serious, for the sake of today's plan, first of all, we must not leak the theft and sale of official grain, once the people know that the official grain is stolen and sold by corrupt officials, it will inevitably rise public resentment.

And since someone wants cholera in Chuzhou, they will definitely take the opportunity to fan the flames. The other party can't be given the slightest chance, from now on, the granaries of each province must be strictly guarded by the city defense army, and no one can approach.

When the locust plague breaks out, we can also uniformly allocate relief grain to plug the empty gap in the granary. Second, immediately mobilize all funds and use my channels to purchase grain from the eight states, the more the better.

Subsequently, the Taishou Mansion ordered that the harvest should be brought forward, and how much could be harvested before the locust outbreak. Even if the ears of wheat are empty, the locusts will not be cheap.

Fourth, Lord Taishou, have you ever eaten fried locusts?"

The decrees of the Taishou Mansion were issued one by one, but the reaction of the people was unwavering, and even not only the people, but also the grassroots officials in the counties who were connected to the task felt that the Taishou Mansion was crazy?

Is this to let the people of the whole state eat bran and drink thin wheat at this time? One by one, the documents that have been confirmed again and again were sent to the Taishou Mansion, but the reply is immediate, now, immediately!

In this way, starting on the third day, the grassroots officials in each county began to mobilize the people to harvest. It is okay to make the officials obey the order, but it is necessary to let the people everywhere, especially the people who have planted the land all their lives, obey the orders of the imperial court to harvest the wheat that is not yet ripe?

You might as well kill them!

The plan to harvest grain was delayed, and the three towns army of Chuzhou was launched as soon as it received the order, divided into eight units, each with a garrison of 120,000, a total of one million troops.

The eight armies are stationed in the eyes of the eight gates of Chuzhou, as long as one is ordered, the army will sacrifice the eight forbidden military formations, and when the time comes, the entire Chuzhou will be completely isolated from the outside world.

The actions of the Three Towns Army naturally could not be concealed from the eyes of those who cared about it, White Horse City, Li Chengzhu stood up after receiving the reward from his subordinates.

"How could it be that the three armies of the imperial court suddenly moved? How could it be? Since there was no war in the imperial court and there was no rebellion, how could the three armies move? Moreover, the three armies moved together and poured out, and this was definitely not a trivial matter. And if something big happens, how can I know nothing?"

"City Lord, could it be...... The town army outside the White Horse City is coming at us, but standing on the gate of shock, does this mean...... The imperial court has enabled the eight-door ban?

The ban on the Eight Gates is to isolate the military formation of Chuzhou, or there is a large army attacking Chuzhou, and this large army of Chuzhou is powerless to resist. Either the enemy is all in Chuzhou and caught in the encirclement. And there is definitely no foreign enemy, and at this moment, the use of the Eight Gates ban on Chuzhou is not clearly aimed at us? City Lord? What do you say?"

"The imperial court will not do anything to us for no reason, we have not paid a penny less in taxes over the years, even if the imperial court intends to suppress the major independent cities, we should also pick disobedient beats, otherwise, what do so many gate lords and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty think? Don't be nervous, it shouldn't be coming at us.

However, something big must have happened in Chuzhou, you immediately order someone to investigate, and you must find out what the Three Towns Army is going to do. ”

When I was thinking about the intention of the imperial court's sudden transfer of troops. The newspaper came from outside the door, and the eastern city lord of the Rising Sun City arrived.

"Brother Dongfang, please come in quickly, the three armies suddenly opened and sacrificed the posture of the eight-door blockade, I'm confused, it's good that you're here, and my brother staff and staff, what are the three armies going to do?"

"Brother Li, I'm here for this, can I talk left and right?"

"You all go down!" Li Chengzhu retreated left and right, and then looked at the Eastern City Lord.

"Brother Li, this is the information I just discovered, please come here. Immediately, he whispered in the ear of City Lord Li.

Suddenly, City Lord Li's face suddenly changed drastically, "Really, how is it possible? How could a locust plague break out in Chuzhou?"

"This matter is absolutely true, the three armies banned Chuzhou, and the imperial court just ordered the urgent transfer of grain to Chuzhou, which corroborates each other. It's a great time. ”

"A good time?" Li Chengzhu's face changed suddenly, and he stared at the Dongfang City Lord coldly, "What does Dongfang Brother mean by this?"

"Naturally, it's a great time to get rich. ”

Li Chengzhu's face softened instantly, but after thinking about it, there was a look of embarrassment on his face, "However, since the grain price in Chuzhou has been fixed three years ago, there is no order from the Taishou Mansion and the Xuantian Mansion to change the grain price without permission. ”

"Now it's different from the past, once the locust plague breaks out, the autumn harvest is destined to be nothing, Chuzhou is short of grain, and food prices will naturally rise wildly, can this be suppressed by the Taishou Mansion?

How long can the grain in the granary of Chuzhou last? At most, two months will keep the people from starving to death, and the only way to get more grain is to rely on grain merchants to open warehouses and release grain.

However, our dynasty has a commercial protection law, and private property is inviolable, and if the imperial court forcibly expropriates grain, then it will be discredited by grain merchants and even more discredited by merchants in the world. The danger of the situation will shake the country's foundation.

He is too conservative to limit our grain prices, and we can also use laws and regulations to break his restrictions, under the same regulations, national laws are higher than state laws, in order to let grain merchants open positions, he can only loosen his mouth and liberalize grain prices. ”

"Brother Dongfang, you are really the most profitable of our four brothers. ”

"Brother Li has won the ......"

"In this case, our brothers can't take this benefit alone, so let's call Brother Mo and Brother Liu together. Let's make a good deal of it!"

Thick clouds shrouded the grim valley, the wind swept the yellow sand, and two figures wrapped in cloaks slowly stepped into the valley. Inside and outside the valley is a completely different world that is isolated. Outside the valley the wind howled, but inside the valley there was silence.

"Suzaku, black fox, are you here?" A voice suddenly sounded, and the two figures also paused at the same time, the two of them tore off their cloaks and looked up, and on the top of a huge stone pillar like a dog's tooth, a middle-aged man with a naked upper body covered with scars and knotted muscles appeared in front of the two.

This person gives people the impression of being furious, with red hair and red skin, coupled with a long beard on his face, a lion king.

"Lion, what the hell is going on, and why did the plan start early?"

"It's not that the plan was launched in advance, but that our plan was discovered in advance. Now Xuantianfu already knows that the locust plague is about to break out, and has dispatched three armies to blockade Chuzhou.

Let's still plan how to break the blockade of Chuzhou and let the locust plague spread smoothly. ”

"Stop dreaming!" the thin figure sneered.

"Suzaku, what do you mean by that? The plan of the temple is above all else, and no matter how difficult it is, we must complete it. ”

"But what you're talking about is not a difficult question at all, it's a question of impossibility. Suzaku's figure flashed, appearing beside the lion like a shapeshifting phantom.

"Do you know what kind of military formation the Eight Gates Ban is? That is the forbidden army formation that the Chu State spent eight hundred years of financial resources to build, and breaking the Eight Gates Ban means defeating millions of troops. With our strength, we can break the blockade of 300,000 troops at most. ”

"What if the Four Great Kings arrive?"

Suzaku's face changed, and he turned his head to look at the fiery lion in surprise, "If the four great Dharma Kings come together, they can try it, although it is not very likely." But...... Aren't the four Dharma Kings unable to get out for the sake of the Divine Treasure Plan?"

"Hehehe......" Lion smiled nondeniably, "Suzaku don't be nervous, I'm just talking casually." It's all to blame for the bad things of the little ladies of Nanhai Cihang, and now that the court has learned of the locust plague in advance, I'm afraid our plan can only be half realized. ”

"It's impossible to spread to the nineteen states of Shenzhou...... But the rebellion in Chuzhou is inevitable, and now that the three towns are out of the military array, we still don't act rashly, we will die. ”

"Suzaku, are you overestimating the power of the military formation?" the black fox beside him also said with a full face, "Although we don't know as much as you, do you think the military formation is too mythical?"

"Is it a myth, you can try it if you have a chance, I heard that the military formation of Xuantian Mansion is only 30,000 people online, and there are only more than 10,000 people in Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou. Another day, you will go and see if the military formation of Xuantian Mansion can kill you?"

"Hmph!" the black fox pursed his lips and snorted disdainfully.
