Chapter 721: Send Envoys Again
"No, this elephant meat is not as good as our Daqin's mutton at all, I never get tired of eating it, this thing is occasionally fresh, and I eat it every meal, I really can't eat it!"
Fan Xu waved his hand, he really had no appetite.
"Come on, the Huotou Army made spicy today, it tastes good!"
Several other people greeted as they ate.
"That's it! Come on! Even if you look at it again, there will definitely be no shortage of locusts outside the door! ”
"Alas......!"
Under the repeated greetings of everyone, Peng Yue finally sat down in the vacant seat, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, "This locust plague is too inopportune, seeing that we are about to hit Hua's City, why did we suddenly catch up with the locust plague?" ”
"Whatever, we have elephant meat and horse meat to eat, it's no problem to boil it for a few days!"
"What about a few days?"
"Let's talk about it then, if it really doesn't work, lead the army and rush out!"
Han Xin glanced out the window, also a little helpless.
These locusts are menacing, as if they are crazy, as soon as people go out, they will immediately pounce on them, and they will be bitten painfully!
That's why they stayed in the city and waited for the locusts to fly away on their own!
……
Inside Fahrenheit.
When the king heard that even the elephant army had been damaged, he fainted twice in a row.
It was not easy to pick up a life, lying weakly on the blanket, listening to the ministers under his hands discuss countermeasures, nodding and shaking his head from time to time to show whether he agreed or not.
But after deliberating for a long time, the ministers still couldn't come up with a feasible solution!
"Report ......"
At this moment, a soldier's shout suddenly sounded outside the hall, and everyone was frightened.
"But the Qin army is coming?"
A minister hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Nope! It was a locust plague in Nalanda City, a very serious locust plague, which was overwhelming, blocking the footsteps of the Qin army! ”
The soldier reported the truth.
"A plague of locusts?"
This news was like a heavenly sound, and everyone in the palace was dazzled.
Even King Garo, who was lingering on the sickbed, sat up with his body propped up!
"You...... You said...... But really? ”
"Your Majesty, it's true!"
The soldier was determined.
"Good! Great, haha! ”
It was the first time he had smiled since he woke up.
"The sky has eyes, Great Qin invaded my Peacock Dynasty, and finally got retribution!"
The ministers were also overjoyed.
"Quick! Send a few people to Nalanda City and let them leave quickly, otherwise God will give you a more severe punishment! ”
As if grasping at a life-saving straw, King Garo used all his strength to give orders.
"Yes!"
The ministers answered, and immediately gathered together to discuss the choice of envoys.
After deciding on the candidates, take a team of soldiers, wrap themselves tightly, and go to Nalanda City!
However, the first to arrive in Nalanda City was Cao Shen's team.
When they arrived at Nalanda City, they were shocked by what they saw!
The outside of the entire city seems to be shrouded in a layer of black clouds, and it is impenetrable!
Everyone untied their clothes and covered their heads to prevent locusts from attacking, and then they slowly entered the city!
The soldiers defending the city were far away, and when they saw a group of people coming towards them, they immediately fired a shot into the sky as a warning and reminded them not to move forward.
But he never expected to get a response.
Han Xin also picked up the hair-colored gun and fired a shot into the sky!
A team of soldiers defending the city was stunned for a moment, then reacted and ran towards them frantically!
In this world, apart from their Great Qin, no other country has thermal weapons.
And, listening to the familiar timbre, it is obviously the hair color gun in their hands!
"General Cao!"
When the soldiers defending the city saw Cao Shen, they immediately bowed, as if they had seen their relatives.
"Haha! Where is Hanshin? ”
Rendezvous with the army, Cao Shen was also overjoyed.
"The Great General is in the city!"
The soldier pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
"General Cao should have also seen that there is a plague of locusts here, and as long as people come out, they will be targeted by locusts!"
The soldier wrapped himself tightly and explained the situation to Cao Shen.
"Well, we already know, take us in!"
Cao Shen replied and asked the soldiers to take them into the city.
After a pause alone, they were already covered with locusts, and they could not drive them away.
There are also some that will drill through the gaps in the clothes, which is very annoying!
"Yes!"
The soldiers led Cao Shen and others into the city and met Han Xin.
"Cao Shen? What are you doing here? ”
Han Xin and the others never expected that Cao Shen would appear here, and they were extremely surprised.
"I'll tell you later!"
After Cao Shen and the others entered the door, they quickly took off their clothes and shook the dense locusts on them.
Then, the soldier took a broom and disposed of all the locusts!
"Oops! I've lived for 30 years, and it's the first time I've seen so many locusts! I was almost eaten alive by them! ”
After getting rid of the locusts on his body, Cao Shen put his clothes back on his clothes again and said with emotion.
"Hey! It's like no one is not, we've grown so big, and we've never seen a locust plague like that, and this time it's an eye-opener! ”
"Fortunately, this locust plague did not happen in our Datang, otherwise, the people would suffer again!"
Wang Li and Ying Chi spoke one after another.
"Yes! Since the first two days, we have noticed that there is less and less grass on the side of the road, and by the time we get close to Nalanda City, we can no longer see a single green leaf......! ”
Cao Shen kept nodding, "The grain and grass of the army have suffered from the locust plague?" ”
"Hmmm! Some of them were eaten, but fortunately, we moved quickly, and if it was half a day late, it was estimated that it would be wiped out! ”
Han Xin replied.
"We've been eating dead horse meat for the past few days, and we're not very willing to eat food, otherwise it's almost gone!"
"It doesn't matter! We're here to deliver supplies to the army, and in addition to food and grass, we also have a lot of ammunition! ”
Cao Shen pointed to the rows of carriages outside the door and said.
"I said Lao Cao, you have come all the way to send supplies, so you brought such a little?"
However, Peng Yue pouted.
"What? Too little? ”
Cao Shen deliberately teased him.
"That's definitely less! Just such a thing, is it worth sending it thousands of miles away? We've captured more than that! This little bit of food alone is not enough for the army to eat for two days! ”
"Hmmm! Lao Cao, don't blame Lao Peng, this bit of grain and grass is really too little, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the fuel money of the steamship along the way! ”
Peng Yue and Fan Xu spoke one after another, both with bitter faces.
In their opinion, it is better not to bring such a small thing!
"No way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to come over!"
Cao Shen shrugged his shoulders solemnly.
"Too ...... Prince? Forehead...... Let's go! ”
As soon as they heard that it was the crown prince and they were coming, everyone closed their mouths one by one and stopped complaining.
