Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Zhou Yu frowned and pondered. When Jiangdong's army captured Lujiang and Liu Biao withdrew his troops, he suggested that Sun Ce seize the land of Jiujiang. However, Sun Ce's thoughts were on Jingzhou.

"If my lord wants to seize the land of Jiujiang, he must first show his favor to the Holy One. The Holy One represents the Han Dynasty, and there is a gap between the Holy One and Cao Cao. He certainly does not want Cao Cao to become powerful. Jiangdong has plenty of troops, but Jingzhou is in

He lost his army in the expedition against Yuan Shu." The feud between Jiangdong and Jingzhou has been going on for a long time, and their grievances will not be resolved just because Liu Biao inherited the throne. The most important thing is that Jingzhou is rich and sits on the land of Jiangdong. Although there is no need to worry about Jingzhou's invasion of troops.

, but it was difficult to compete in the Central Plains. In these troubled times, all the princes who wanted to make a difference wanted to get a share of the Central Plains, and Liu Biao became a stronger obstacle to Jiangdong.

Sun Ce was silent for a long time and said: "Send someone to contact Zhang Xun secretly and be sure to get the jade seal and bed crossbow."

Zhou Yu said yes, understanding Sun Ce's choice in his heart. Although the land of Jiujiang is important, once the Jiangdong army comes out to compete with Cao Cao in Jiujiang, Jiangdong will be empty. How could Liu Biao miss such an opportunity? Although Jingzhou will lose troops and generals

, but the navy is still there.

"Order the spies to pay close attention to the movements of Jiangxia and Jingzhou navy." Sun Ce said.

"My lord, the Jinfan thief robbed the warship. I'm afraid someone secretly instructed him. If the Jinfan thief belongs to Jingzhou, you should be careful." Zhou Yu reminded, from Gan Ning's actions, he felt an unusual feeling.

This means that there is always an uneasiness. If Gan Ning is a surprise soldier of the Jingzhou Army, he will definitely cause trouble to Jiangdong.

"Jinfan thieves? Humph, if they offend me, their bodies will be wiped out." Sun Ce snorted coldly.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, "My lord, Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan thieves, is quite brave and proficient in water warfare. At this time, he has two tower ships and sixteen stern warships. He should not be underestimated. According to the news from Jingzhou,

, The Holy One is very angry about the Jinfan thieves escaping from Jingzhou, why not secretly order someone to contact Gan Ning, if it can be used by Jiangdong, then Jingzhou can be taken advantage of."

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Just what Gong Jin said."

When the generals in the field heard that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were plotting the land of Jingzhou, they were not dissatisfied at all because Liu Biao was the emperor. The hatred between Jingzhou and Jiangdong was too deep. This kind of hatred could not be changed by Liu Biao becoming the emperor. As for the civil servants

He had a worried look on his face.

At the same time, the number of refugees flocking to Bingzhou from all over the country reached 100,000. Houses were built densely outside Huguan. Around them, Zhao Yun trained tens of thousands of soldiers. With the deterrence of the Bingzhou army, no refugees dared to

Seize the opportunity to cause chaos.

The people of Bingzhou were also skeptical and sent dried locusts to nearby cities. They didn't understand what the state pastoral government wanted the locusts for.

Outside the city of Jinyang, officials from the Prefectural Mufu's Office had already purchased locusts there. After weighing them, they immediately paid. This also greatly encouraged the people's confidence in catching locusts. The number of locusts was so great that for a time, Jinyang

There were densely packed locusts in the warehouse. It was roughly estimated that there were at least 200,000 kilograms of locusts.

"Lord, how to deal with these locusts?" Chen Tian asked doubtfully. He was always a little confused about Lu Bu's behavior of purchasing locusts. Even if it is to let the people catch locusts, there is no need to pay such a high price. A pound of money, a pound of locusts.

Ordinary people, in places where there are many locusts, can easily catch a hundred kilograms of locusts in one day. After drying, the minimum weight is twenty kilograms, which costs twenty yuan a day. Under normal circumstances, one stone of rice only costs more than one hundred yuan. It is definitely more expensive than

The waiters in restaurants in the city and those working for merchants earned so much that after hearing the news, many refugees who flocked to Bingzhou went to catch locusts outside Huguan. There were officials in charge of purchasing locusts in Huguan.

.

Compared with the people of Bingzhou, they hated the locusts even more. It was these locusts that drove them into exile and allowed them to watch their loved ones die of hunger.

If there are more locusts captured, they will have a certain ability to live after arriving in Bingzhou, and they will not need to rely on the state's pastoral government's charity to survive. Especially as more and more people flock to Bingzhou, as a member of the refugees, they feel

There was tremendous pressure.

"Yuanwu, locusts can eat the people's food, why can't the people in turn feed on the locusts?" Lu Bu asked with a smile, looking at the mountains of locusts piled up in the warehouse.

Chen Tian looked slightly sluggish. He had never heard of locust eaters. Faced with locusts, people avoided them for fear of getting involved. People caught locusts mostly because of the attractive prices offered by the state pastoral government, but

When eating, think of locusts, no one dares to put them in his mouth, probably even the soldiers in the army would not dare to eat them if they knew they were eating locusts.

"Lord, this..." Chen Tian was stunned.

"Yuanwu, there is not much food and grass in Bingzhou now. If there are more locusts to feed on, it will not only alleviate the current situation in Bingzhou, but also lead troops to attack Hedong. The princes all think that Bingzhou does not have the ability to attack because of the refugees.

I will let them down when the time comes." Lu Bu said, he had already learned about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's big moves. The princes all wanted to seize the benefits at this time. Although Bingzhou had an influx of 100,000 refugees, it was also

We cannot fall behind others, this is also a good opportunity to seize Hedong.

"Lord, these are locusts." Chen Tian reminded.

"So what about the locusts? Tomorrow we will send 30,000 kilograms of locusts to the army. Officials from Bingzhou will also go with them. I will eat them first." Lu Bu said. Compared with the price of rice, locusts are much cheaper. A soldier can eat them for one month.

It will consume two to three stones of rice grain.

Chen Tian's expression changed when he heard this, "My lord, you can't."

Lu Bu waved his hands and said: "I am not as delicate as you say, so what happened to the locusts? They make it difficult for the people to survive, so I will make them food for Bingzhou."

Chen Tian looked at Lu Bu blankly, not knowing how to describe his mood at this time.

"Yuanwu, locusts are actually very delicious." Lu Bu replied.

Chen Tian, ​​who looked dull, looked at the densely packed locusts in the warehouse and felt a little sick. He seemed to see the soldiers in the army and the officials of Bingzhou feeding on locusts.

Dian Wei also heard the conversation between Lu Bu and Chen Tian, ​​and looked at Chen Tian sympathetically. He also felt a little churn in his stomach, but Lu Bu mentioned the matter of eating locusts with a calm expression.

When the officials of the Prefecture and Mufu Mansion heard the news brought back by Chen Tian, ​​they looked at each other in confusion and thought of eating locusts. The Marquis of Jin could also imagine such a thing. Not to mention eating them, they all felt that they just took a look at the dried locusts.

Disgusting, especially those officials who purchased locusts, they were even more miserable during this period. At the beginning, the number of locusts was relatively small, but now the number of locusts purchased every day can reach 30,000 kilograms, and this does not include the refugees from outside Huguan.

Locusts purchased in hand.
