Chapter 128: Natural Disaster
When the wind was light, everyone in the army shook off the yellow sand on their bodies, got up one after another, and continued the unfinished business, and Mo Lingfeng stretched out his palm to see that what he was holding in his palm was a locust.
"General Seed," she pinched the locust's front leg and walked over to Seed Jiaqing, "Look. ”
Chong Jiaqing took the time to take a look, thinking that he was naughty, and caught a bug in his busy schedule, so he ignored her, turned his head and continued to explain: "Send more archers out to reconnoitre......
Before he finished speaking, he turned his head back sharply and looked at the worm in Mo Leaffeng's hand.
At this glance, a heart suddenly "chuckled" and mentioned the throat and eyes.
He bent down to take the locust from Mo Ringfeng's hand, glanced at the wind and sand that had not yet subsided, and then lowered his head and looked around.
Soon, he found another one.
With a calm face, he took the lead in stepping down from the castle: "Go and have a look outside." ”
Mo Lingfeng also followed, walked down the stone steps with Chong Jiaqing, searched in the sand and gravel all over the ground, and soon the four commanders who followed found it and picked up the dead locusts from the ground.
"General, the wind is blowing from the direction of Hengshan, do you want to send someone to Hengshan to have a look?"
"Maybe it's just a sporadic locust, and it won't be a plague."
Chong Jiaqing raised his foot and crushed a locust that was still jumping on the ground, a drop of sweat on his forehead flowed from his sideburns to his neck, he couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or too hot, he just stretched out his head to look, and suddenly saw a group of flying locusts pressed by the black pressure not far away, migrating with the wind.
"Hurry up!" There was really a cold sweat on Chongjiaqing's forehead this time, and even his back was cold.
The commander also panicked, rushed into the village, ordered the soldiers to carry firewood out, poured oil on the firewood, and instantly ignited a sky-high fire, in the dim skylight, the fire was particularly bright, and the locusts were inclined to the light and threw fire, making a "crackling" sound.
After an hour, the wind gradually settled, the floating sand dispersed, the red sun slanted westward, and the red light all over the ground shone on the yellow sand, which was a different kind of weather.
Most of this group of flying locusts were thrown into the fire, and several of them were shot down by the soldiers, and there were a few of them, which did not form a climate and went to Gaoping Village.
Chongjiaqing was still uneasy in his heart, and after returning to the village, he asked people to go to Hengshan to check, and at the same time repair a book and send it to Gaoping Village.
When the locusts arrive, I am afraid that it will become a disaster.
Mo Le Feng led the men to wait by the fire, adding wood all night, so that the fire would not be extinguished, and if any more locusts flew, they would not make mistakes.
The night is lonely, there is no moon to appreciate, the stars are also sparse, the flag in the village, stretching with the wind, the wind blows to the body, and gradually produces a chill.
Mo Lingfeng couldn't sit still, got up and slowly paced to the southeast, and when he walked far, he saw a hibiscus tree more than one person high, with flower buds on the branches, and only one of them had bloomed early, and at this time it had withered and then branches.
Morning and twilight, glory is only in a moment.
Mo Lingfeng leaned on the flower branch, took out Xunlai, and blew a song with the wind.
No one listened to her blowing, but after blowing for a while, and after soothing the depression in her heart, she put away the Xun, broke off a branch with a bud, and returned to the fire.
He threw the branch into the fire, and the light of the fire danced, devouring the unopened fragrance, without uttering any sigh.
If there is indeed a plague of locusts, and the war will cease, then her plans will stop here like this flower branch, and all of them will be swallowed up.
In June of the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Chapter, the five stars of Antares hung high in the south, the scorching heat and the sparks came together, the locusts ate the Jinlu mountains and rivers, flew over the fortress, and reached the grassland by the Shuo River, and the grain planted in Kuanzhou could not be spared.
Jin Yu took advantage of the situation to make peace.
The emperor knew that his heart of coveting the dynasty would not die, and he would not be long, so he refused, and took the opportunity to send troops, and the Zhenrong army poured out, went deep into the Jin Dynasty, defeated the Jin captives, and then withdrew to the fortress due to the lack of grain and grass.
Jin Yu was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, so he simply mobilized the strength of the country, gathered troops outside Sanchuan Village, and attacked the village day and night - if he won the war, he went to the Central Plains to live with the Han people, and if he could not win, he would not let the Han people have a good time.
After half a month of fighting to the death, the upper road army guarding Sanchuan Village was all killed, and Sanchuan Village, Huaiyuan Village, and Dingchuan Village were lost.
Jin Yu once again joined forces to attack Gaoping Village, the Zhenrong army defended to the death, the loss of more than half, the Zhenrong army was under the command of Zigao on the female wall when patrolling, was hit in the head by a Qiang people with a flowing stone and died, morale was frustrated.
Charging into battle all day long, Chong Jiaqing, who wanted to throw his head and spill his blood, was unscathed.
And Mo Lingfeng quickly adjusted his strategy in this chaos, did not make interlocking schemes, and simply opened his gluttonous mouth and swallowed the army.
She is unstoppable, throwing money, buying people's hearts, taking advantage of the chaos to carve a wooden card - the wooden card is round and below, three inches long, two inches wide, five points thick, the front is carved with a bird of prey, and the seal is engraved with "Mo's Dingyuan Army", and the back is carved with a tiger, and the name and shape of the person holding the token on the seal.
In the face of repeated defeats by the Zhenrong army, her team was coveted for its undefeated victory, but once it fell into the hands of others, it became powerless and would only use all its strength when fleeing for her life.
Everyone in the army has nothing to do, and it is the time to employ people, they can't suppress it, they can only deceive the superiors and subordinates, so that Mo Lingfeng, the head of the capital, has full wings all the way, and the team has expanded to the point of a foot barracks and a horse barracks.
She even formed a female soldier in the capital, using Yin Nan to lead the troops, not limited to digging ditches in the rear camp and transporting grain and grass, but galloping on the front line, and the salary of the leader was no different from that of men.
And the Jin Yu fought to this time, they were also sleepy and tired, and decided to discuss peace talks again, if the Han emperor still insisted on fighting, then they had to fight to the death.
On the first day of the seventh month, the fire slowly fell from the south, and the emperor was forced to agree to the peace talks because of the huge military expenditure and the lack of treasury.
On the second day of the seventh month, Zhang Yuanlin, the official who had gone to the inner east gate of Kuanzhou, accompanied the envoy Cao Zhibin to Zhangjiabao, Hengshan, Kuanzhou, to negotiate the oath of the two dynasties.
In the city of Kuanzhou, on the fourth day of the seventh month, Wang Zhizhou and others had been fighting hard for a long time, and they were deeply afraid that the emperor would thoroughly investigate the fortress when the war could not be fought for a long time, and they hated to be able to calm down the situation immediately, and cover up the empty salary and lack of staff.
The weather was still hot and dry, and Mofu learned the news earlier than Wang Zhizhou, but Mofu was still as silent as usual.
Zhao Shiheng walked through the second hall with a belly full of news, went straight to the back garden, and saw Mo Qianlan standing in the water pavilion, so he limped forward.
Mo Qianlan wore a Taoist robe, leaned on a green jade staff, and stood in the wind in the water pavilion, with wide robes and wide sleeves, allowing the wind to pull the corners and hunt sounds, and the whole person was like a pile of white jade, almost breaking the wind.
When he saw Zhao Shiheng coming, he smiled slightly: "The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and this wind may be in danger of bending your waist." ”
The emperor's wind has already blown towards the Mo family.
"Let him blow away," Zhao Shiheng said holding on to the horizontal railing: "The Leaf has annexed two battalions, and now the army is in chaos, and there is still a lot to be done during the peace talks." ”
Mo Qianlan nodded, and stretched out his hand to point to a few big elm trees outside the water pavilion: "When it reaches the extreme, it should be in decline." ”
The elm leaves are oily green, the wind resounds, the ground is covered with a layer of messy fallen leaves, the edge of the leaves is slightly yellow, it is the scene that midsummer has passed, and early autumn is approaching.
