Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

No way, when Lu Su first fell, Lu Su's work was divided between Chen Xi, Li You, Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Wan. Li You was assigned part of Lu Su's work on bureaucratic selection, and Li You originally If I really want to talk about his position, he is the imperial censor, who has the responsibility of supervising and impeaching officials. ??? ?9??????.??м ???

To be honest, it is a bit fatal to have the responsibility of selecting officials, supervising, and impeaching hundreds of officials on one person. But under the circumstances, this responsibility must be given to Chen Xi, Li You, or Zhuge Liang, and it cannot be given directly to Jiang Wan. Well, even if it is a promotion, it is not promoted like this.

However, Chen Xi cannot take over this responsibility. Once this responsibility falls into Chen Xi's hands, it will be difficult to separate it, because from the earliest days, Chen Xi was responsible for selecting officials, which means that it was separated from Chen Xi. If it were left to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang directly shouldered Lu Su's responsibilities, this would be too difficult for Zhuge Liang.

So in the end we had no choice but to bite the bullet and hand over this responsibility to Li You first. Although this whole thing fell into Li You's hands, Li You could become a powerful minister after just a few tricks, but in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Chen Xi did not After his downfall, even if Li You were caught, it would take more than ten years to shake Chen Xi head-on.

It's just that this kind of thing can't last long, otherwise it will be a big trouble in the history books, so after the assessment in the middle of this year, Li You handed over the entire responsibility equivalent to the Minister of Civil Affairs to Zhuge Liang, and his authority returned again The original censor Zhongcheng was responsible for all affairs of the censor.

After losing the authority equivalent to that of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it will not be as easy for Li You to deal with a bureaucrat of the level of two thousand stones. At least he can't pinch him to death as easily as before. At least he has to They discussed and discussed. In the past, Li You could do things like strangle to death or change someone else. The power he held was no joke.

"It's not so evil. No matter how outrageous the East African locust plague is, it's impossible for it to rush to our mainland during the second wave. Even if New South Wales is a newly naturalized territory, it has actually been invaded by us for hundreds of years. In the ruling world, we won't be so unlucky," Chen Xi said worriedly.

Although logically, the East African locusts are not such an exaggeration, people always have to consider the worst possibility. What if they are really East African locusts? This is not the end of the world. You must know that this is the second wave.

"Let's send someone to investigate and make sure first." Zhuge Liang said seriously. After all, after the locust plague broke out in East Africa, Zhuge Liang had received a lot of urgent reports from Central Asia. Many aristocratic families were under suspicion. Theoretically speaking, it is not impossible in Zhuge Liang's opinion for a locust plague that is rampaging all the way to the Xinzhou area.

After all, Zhuge Liang has not been punished by the experience of later generations. He is discussing this matter purely based on the official documents. According to the official documents, it is reasonable to splice the locust sky sweeping path all the way to Xinzhou, but this loss , it’s really uncomfortable.

"Well, I hope it's just local locusts, and Boda will be punished for his negligence." Chen Xi looked like he was praying, and when Li You heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Xi. It's the middle of the year recently, so things There was more, and Chen Xi had gathered the top leaders of the Political Yuan together again, so when he said this, the guys around him were speechless.

"I think you should be prepared. The gray geese in Zangzhou and the white geese in Bingzhou should be mobilized to Xinzhou as soon as possible." Fazheng looked through the official documents and said with a bit of casualness.

In Fazheng's view, the current situation is likely to be caused by the East African locust plague. However, the lifespan of locusts is limited and they may not have much fighting power by now. However, this wave is only the second wave. If the third wave breaks out, the number will be huge. It will only get bigger, and more people will come to New South Wales, so just prepare early. While the third wave is now undergoing final brewing in East Africa, quickly mobilize troops.

"Can't you think of something better, can't it be a local locust outbreak?" Chen Xi struggled and said. He had actually realized the possibility, but now he was struggling to his death.

There was a huge difference in climate between the third century and the twenty-first century. Central Asia in the third century was still a pasture with fertile water and grass, most of the Turan Plain was still fertile soil that could be cultivated, and the Aral Sea was still a huge water surface of tens of thousands of square kilometers. The Tianbei team will at least have food to eat and will not starve to death.

In terms of distance, for the Locust Sky team taking the northern route to New South Wales, the distance is actually not much different from the distance taking the southern route to the Indus-Ganges River. Because it is flying, there are few obstacles, and it is basically a straight line. , an extra two thousand kilometers away, for the super East African locust plague, even if it is not the enhanced version of the essence of heaven and earth, it will only take about ten days. As for the enhanced version of the essence of heaven and earth, it will only take less time.

So after receiving the news that the Yang family had been gnawed out, Fazheng thought about this beating. The Han Dynasty could not escape, but even if Xinzhou was gnawed, in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, as long as the rescue was timely, there would be no escape. What loss will there be? After all, humiliating Sima Lang is just a habit of the political Yuan. Sima Lang's ability is still no problem. In the past few years, except for human trafficking when he was at the top, he has been conscientious at other times.

"My opinion is the same, Zichuan, stop struggling, you know everything yourself, why are you struggling." Man Chong glanced at Chen Xi and said, "Quickly mobilize the big geese in Zangzhou and Bingzhou to build a new state. A line of defense to prevent the third wave of locust plague from penetrating into the mainland.”

"If it really breaks out, even if there are millions of geese, I think it will be useless." Chen Xi said unhappily. His brain is pretty good, but he is just struggling to survive, because the locals who have never seen the locust plague in East Africa still have the impression of the locust plague in their past.

In the impression of this group of people, locusts are still small things weighing a few grams. In fact, the size of super locusts can be said to be increasing rapidly, tens of grams, and hundreds of grams are possible.

In addition, the locust plague that this group of people know is still at the scale of hundreds of millions. Even if the Central Asian families wept and presented the recent recorded materials, this group of people's thinking is still stuck in the cognition that such a scale of locust plague should be the limit level. In fact, the second wave of locust plagues may not be as good as a small team of the third wave of locust plagues.

If the second wave of locust plagues can bring billions to Central Asia, then the third wave can at least bring tens of billions.

Chen Xi was a little confused when he thought that the Han Dynasty might enjoy the treatment of the Kushans. This was too outrageous. Fortunately, the Han Dynasty's Xinzhou was just an ordinary grain-producing land. After all, even if the climate is good now, there are still green grass along the Xinzhou line. But Chen Xi instinctively did not put the grain-producing land there, but used it as a channel to go abroad.

"Forget it, do your best and leave it to fate." Chen Xi said helplessly. It's like this, what else can I say? Of course, let it go. Anyway, the locusts have a limited lifespan, and there is not much time to rush to Xinzhou. When the time comes, let the locusts show off, and the green that can be eaten on the surface will be eaten up. The underground granary that Chen Xi has been promoting for so many years is no joke.

"Don't give up so directly." Liu Yan said with some dissatisfaction after hearing this, "It's just a locust plague, who are you looking down on? You passed by Xinzhou, right? It just so happens that I'm going to Xinzhou recently. When the time comes, I will mobilize local people to treat the locusts myself. Destiny? Shouldn't this kind of thing depend on the situation?" Chen Xi heard this and looked at the confident Liu Yan. He felt that the other party was interested. As a veteran, it was indeed necessary to support him. He started to write a temporary dispatch document on the spot, stamped it himself, and handed it to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang glanced at it and then looked at Chen Xi. That look was like saying, Chen Xi, you are sick, right? What do you mean by Xinzhou, Zangzhou, Yongliang Sili, Bingzhou and other northwestern states fully support? You think you are fighting an imperial war, right! These states fully support, even if it is a war of empire, they can fight for a long time, and even not lose the wind, but you use it to stop the locust plague. "After all, Weishuo is personally here, so he still needs to be given enough authority." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, anyway, the locust plague has already broken out, and it can't be stopped. He can only lie down and let the hammers fall. Liu Yan wants to take a few shots, but of course he can't hurt his old brother's patriotic heart. Support, strongly support.

"Although I also think Zichuan has problems, but there is not one more." Li You took out his seal and stamped it. Zhuge Liang could only use his eyes to express his confusion about this matter, but Li You was direct. Li You felt that Chen Xi had problems, but there were many times when he broke out, and he didn't care about one or two more. It was not a big deal.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Chen Xi and Li You, and also stamped his seal. Then a group of people passed by and asked someone to present it to the princess, and also stamped it with the national seal. Then Liu Yan, the veteran who led several states to control locusts, was born, but this was destined to be a defeat. It couldn't be won, it was definitely not won.

"Hehe, there are only a few roads in Xinzhou. Let me show you how I kill the locusts." Liu Yan said confidently after receiving the imperial edict. He also had some understanding of Xinzhou. After all, the kings who used to live in Xinzhou came to the Central Plains as resident officials. Liu Yan also had contact with them a lot, so he knew how many routes the locusts could choose to approach Xinzhou.

"I wish you a successful start." Chen Xi said with a smile, "If you need anything, just transfer it directly. In theory, Xinzhou doesn't lack anything. It just so happens that I have been sending food there recently. If the Central Asian family comes to borrow food, Weishuo, you will calculate it together."

It is inevitable that Central Asia will suffer from disasters. The second round of locust plagues almost cut off Central Asia. If there were not less than two months between the second and third rounds, giving Central Asia time for water and grass to develop, the third round of locust plagues would not even have food to eat.

So no matter how hard they tried, the food and grass of any Central Asian family was not enough. Chen Xi could only transfer food to Xinzhou in advance, and then Xinzhou would transport the food and grass to the Turan Plain under the rule of the three idiots during the interval between the second and third rounds of locust plagues.

Kuai Yue built everything that should be built in Turan, and the scale and number of underground granaries were sufficient. After the three rounds of locust plagues were over, the major families would go to Congling to get food with the slips. Chen Xi would definitely not hold the major families back in this regard.

But even so, only those families relatively close to Turan could quickly obtain food. As for the three families in the Persian Gulf and the families around the three families in the Persian Gulf, don't expect to get food from the Turan Plain in the northeast. Apart from anything else, it would take a long time just to transport it.

Of course, Chang'an also received information about what the three families in the Persian Gulf did, but after some discussion, Liu Tong only reprimanded Zhang Fan and did not execute him. In an emergency, they made decisions based on their own needs. They could not let millions of people starve to death. Besides, the three families themselves had kept secrets, so there was no need to be so strict.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. In the future, the three families will need to contain some of the Kushan troops in the subsequent war against the Kushans, but if you really want to say it, this is protection.

Not to mention Rome, the families around the three families are not fools. No matter how much the three families publicize and even expand their results, they say that they defrauded fifty ships of refined grains from Kushan, but even if it is fifty ships of refined grains, The size of the population of the three families and the population losses caused by famine will make the surrounding families realize that the three families have other sources of food.

If you look up things like sugar cane plantations, you can definitely find them out. The reason why we couldn't find out before was because everyone didn't pay attention. They worked hard one by one and didn't have much time to pay attention to what fields were being planted next door. But now the locust plague has passed. Waves, sugarcane plantations are definitely exposed.

After all, sugar is an important strategic material in any era. Not to mention hot weapons, even in the era of cold weapons, sugar is an important material as food. Considering that sugar water itself actually has a certain disinfection ability, it can make low-intensity weapons. The bacterial environment is a life-saving thing. Even if we only consider survival, it is more important than salt.

So after this wave, let alone the surrounding aristocratic families, Rome may not like these three families. After all, sugar is also a very important strategic material for Rome.

"As you said, you will watch how I deal with those locusts." Liu Yan said confidently. He had found an extremely effective way to fight against the locust plague, and all the prerequisites were in place. .

"That's good. When the time comes, you will have blocked the locust sky. When you come back, we will give you a large celebration." Chen Xi said with a smile, but he was not very optimistic about this matter. He believed that Liu Yan must have obtained something special. Secret skills, or technology and other things, but everything has to be discussed in an order of magnitude. On the order of magnitude of Locust Sky, it is meaningless even if you have any secret skills.

"By the way, is this some new technology?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang strangely and asked after Liu Yan left.

"The Wang family in Kuaiji has developed an electric magnetic field. It should be useful." Li You replied casually.
