Cao Shen walked on the shore with his people for three days, and except for a few tribes, he didn't see a few people at all.

The two Chinese languages could not speak well, and it was difficult to catch a few people in the tribe to inquire about the news.

But they didn't do anything but shake their heads!

Occasionally muttered a few words, and no one in the Qin army could understand it!

Before Ying Feiyu built a steamship, few people could come here, let alone understand their language!

Being able to understand the language of the Western Regions is already amazing!

There is no way, so I can only take the people under my hand and set off towards Fahrenheit City!

According to the news he got in Kalinga City before, Han Xin and his army should have arrived in Fahrenheit City at this time!

They went straight in that direction, and sooner or later they would be able to meet the army!

As they walked, they sent people to explore the way, and finally there was good news," General Cao ...... General Cao...... I've found out the news! ”

A soldier with a happy face rode towards them.

"Stop! Rest in place! ”

Cao Shen raised his hand slightly and gave an order.

The soldier immediately stopped and stopped where he was!

The soldier who reported the news turned over and dismounted, and bowed, "General Cao, General Han, they may be in Nalanda City!" ”

"Oh? How do you know? ”

Cao Shen's face was overjoyed.

Because the realm they are in at this time is within the range of Nalanda.

If Han Shin is really here, it won't take more than two days for them to be able to rendezvous with him!

"There was a stockade in front of us, and as soon as we entered, the people in the stockade fled in all directions with terror on their faces as if they had seen a plague! I finally caught the two, but they immediately knelt down, kept kowtowing to us, and shook their heads and muttered something we didn't understand! ”

"And then?"

Then we couldn't help it, so we took out our flags and gestured to them, and they showed us the way! Then he led us to the right path and pointed to the horseshoe prints on the ground! The horseshoe print is a horseshoe print, I think it must have been left by the army! ”

"I see......

After listening to the soldier's explanation, Cao Shen nodded approvingly, "In this world, it is estimated that only one who knows how to use horseshoes is my Daqin!" ”

"That's right!"

The soldier shouted with joy on his face.

"It is estimated that the army has just finished cleaning this place, so the people in the stockade will be terrified when they see us!"

"That's right! That's how it should be! ”

After figuring everything out, Cao Shen ordered the march to continue and go straight to Nalanda City.

It's not far from Fahrenheit City, and even if the army leaves the camp, it should be going to Fahrenheit City, and it will be too late for them to chase after it!

However, after a day of walking, they noticed something strange!

A lot of green grass on the side of the road has lost its leaves, as if it has been gnawed off by something!

The further you go, the more serious this phenomenon becomes, and even some trees and bushes have been gnawed off their leaves!

"It's weird! The climate here is hot, there is little rain, and there are not many trees and grasses, so there should be no people grazing at will, right? ”

The soldiers scratched their heads, puzzled.

The climate of the Peacock Dynasty was completely different from that of their Great Qin, there was no good pasture, and there were not many people in the village who could raise cattle and sheep.

But if it weren't for cattle and sheep, how could the leaves of these vegetation be gnawed so cleanly?

"It's not like it's being eaten by cows and sheep!"

Cao Shen squatted on the ground and observed for a long time, then shook his head.

"Didn't you get gnawed by cattle and sheep? What is that? ”

"Look! The leaves of this grass are not big, if it is a cow or sheep, after gnawing, the cross-section must be Qi! And the current leaves, which are deep and shallow, are not flat at all, should be the result of a small insect bite! ”

Cao Shen picked a few small grasses and handed them to the soldiers.

"Bugs? What kind of insect can gnaw these grasses like this? ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and then as if they had thought of something, their eyes widened instantly.

Almost at the same time, everyone shouted in unison in horror: "Is it a plague of locusts? ”

The soldiers were not very old, and they had never experienced a locust plague at all.

I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run.

The older generation is well-informed, and often tells them stories about locust plagues!

It is said that when the locust plague occurred, the locusts were as if they were crazy, covering the sky and the sun, and the black and oppressive patch!

Everywhere you go, not to mention food, not even grass and leaves are left!

If all of this is eaten, even small livestock may attack!

Therefore, when the older generation scares children, they will use locusts to bite their buttocks as an excuse.

Whether you should say it or not, the effect is very good.

When the child who cried incessantly heard this, he immediately stopped crying!

"Won't it?"

After the soldiers finished speaking, they frowned at the moment, hoping that this was not true.

"Who knows! Looking at the appearance of these gnawed grasses, they should have just been gnawed, and they have not yet sprouted! ”

Cao Shen shook his head and continued: "Alas, ......! Let's take a look and hope these locusts don't fly to Nalanda! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded and wrapped the supplies they were carrying in thick tarpaulins, for fear that there would be a locust plague in front of them, so they swept away all the supplies they had brought.

After walking for another half day, there was almost no vegetation on the ground, and all of them were gnawed away by locusts.

Occasionally, you can encounter a few locusts that have fallen behind, desperately gnawing on the rhizomes!

"It seems that these locusts are really heading in the direction of Landa!"

Cao Shen frowned, making the soldiers speed up.

……

"Buzz ......"

In the city of Nalanda, locusts are wreaking havoc in the city, looking everywhere for something to eat.

"Special mother, I just finished cleaning up the stockades around Nalanda and preparing to attack Hua's City, so I'll give Lao Tzu such a hand!"

In the city lord's mansion, a table of food had been prepared, but Fan Xu paced back and forth, looking very anxious and had no appetite at all.

The locusts are black and pressed, densely packed, making people get goosebumps when they look at it!

"Okay, don't complain, there's no way around it!"

Wang Li picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and spoke.

"Lao Fan, come and sit down, if you come, you will be safe, this locust will not stop here all the time, sooner or later it will leave!"

Peng Yue also beckoned him and hurried over.

"Lao Fan, you've been talking about the stewed elephant army all the way, and now that the battle is over, you're here to eat!"

Han Xin laughed playfully.

After defeating the elephant army, as soon as he entered the city, Fan Hao shouted to bury the pot to make rice, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to follow him to carry the elephant meat that was blown up!

Hundreds of cauldrons, all lit with boiled meat.

It can be boiled from noon to night, and the meat is still firewood, and there is an indescribable peculiar smell, which is very unpalatable!

But the elephant trunk is different and delicious.

So, the water and meat in the hundreds of pots were poured out, and only the trunk of the elephant was cut off and cooked, so that the soldiers could eat it beautifully!

In the next few days, on the table of Han Xin and others, the dish of elephant trunk was indispensable for every meal, and Fan Xu wanted to vomit when he ate it!

No matter how delicious things are, you eat them every day, and there are times when you get tired!
