Disasters of heaven and earth

In early July of the first year of China, Liu Xie received a note from Zhang Zhao about the locust plague in Yangzhou. The area and extent of the disaster were shocking. Liu Xie was extremely surprised and immediately asked Zhang Zhao to mobilize all his power to destroy locusts. Shortly afterwards, a large-scale locust plague broke out in Jingzhou and Yuzhou. The situation was so serious that it was rare in previous years.

Liu Xie was puzzled to understand why the locust plague suddenly broke out. After asking, he realized that when he was elected emperor in May, various local authorities had already begun to discover signs of locust plague. However, after all, it was a great cause. No one dared to report worries and could only suppress them. Zhang Zhao did not dare to submit a report, so he could only order the states to deal with it themselves.

At this time, the most serious Shouchun had all the grain and rice destroyed, and the locust swarm that stretched for more than 30 miles was following the low pressure wind in the southeastern sea to the inland. It has arrived in Runan, and the locust swarm in Xuzhou has completely destroyed most of Xuzhou's rice fields and is flying towards Liu Bei's Yanzhou.

Yang Xiu's report shows that there were locust plagues in various places north of the Yellow River this year, but it was not serious. However, the locust swarms from Cao Cao in Qingzhou were flying towards Jizhou, and now they may have arrived in the area of ​​Yecheng in Jizhou. According to the disaster situation in Qingzhou, it is probably that the grain fields in Jizhou will be completely destroyed in less than August.

Liu Xie immediately asked Zhang Zhao to arrange for the people of Xuzhou and the people of Yuzhou to work together to protect the grain production in Yuzhou. The people of Yangzhou dispatched millions of people to protect the rice fields of Jingzhou and also had to make every effort to defend Shuzhou and Liangzhou. As long as these four prefectures are maintained, the grain supply in Nanhan this year will not be a problem. All localities are also preparing to open warehouses to provide relief to the victims, and all the grain taxes in the affected areas will be reduced and exempted.

Initiated in Yangzhou, six large-scale locust swarms that grew through Xuzhou and Qingzhou, which were not seen for several years, rushed to the north, and Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were in panic.

When the north and the south were united in the decisive battle, no one noticed the locust plague this year. The early destruction of extinguishing finally led to a locust plague that was rare in thirty years.

Liu Xie finally understood why the population decreased so rapidly during the Three Kingdoms period. The people did not die in wars, but the princes in various places were busy fighting, and no one had the energy to take into account natural disasters, drought and flood, locust plagues, plagues, and war formed the Ukiyo-e at the end of the Han Dynasty, resulting in a sharp decline in population.

The decisive battle in Luoyang is about to be imminent, and Liu Xie couldn't take much care of it, so he asked Zhang Zhao to continue to mobilize grain reserves in various places. After further checking the grain reserves in various places, he was not very worried about the locust plague. The grain in the south can still be supported, but the north may not be.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both faced a dilemma. Whether to continue fighting or eliminate the locust plague first, no matter how difficult it is, they finally decided to be the first in the war.

Liu Xie was not surprised. For Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, whose political life could continue depends on the Luoyang change this year.

After Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were stolen to arrange the deployment of locusts to be wiped out, Liu Xie suddenly realized that this was his opportunity and decided to go to Runan in person to inspect the disaster. Before leaving, he assigned the affairs to Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai and Zhang Zhao, with Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin and Jiang Wan assisting, and Xun Yu accompanied Liu Xie to Runan.

When the car drove past the ridge of the field, Liu Xie opened the curtain and saw that the rice fields around him were all deserted. The fields swept by locusts seemed to be like the winter solstice, and there was no living life. It was obviously hot summer, but the rice fields that should have been green only left with a gray field.

Liu Xie asked the convoy to park. Accompanied by Wang Yue and Tang Zhan, he walked to the edge of the rice fields and asked the soldiers to retrieve several locust corpses from the paddy fields. Liu Xie looked at the locusts and knew that these were juvenile worms and had no wings yet.

Although I did not see the locust swarm, I only looked at the thousands of miles of barren fields. Liu Xie could already think of how many locusts had spread.

He said to Xu Xuan, a doctor at Xiangyang Institute of Technology who is responsible for studying locust plagues around him: "Baojian, you are known as the leader of the institute's agriculture, so you should have some understanding of locusts!"

Xu Xuan said: "Locusts come out every March and April, and start to be difficult in May. They flood in July and August every year. If you want to prevent and control it, it is the most important thing before May, because locusts are divided into five instars. At first, they are young, as if they were in the hands of Your Majesty, and they have no wings. It is best to extinguish them at this time. In addition, locusts lay eggs on the ridges and rivers. Therefore, in September every autumn, the ridges can be dug in the dark places of the rivers, so that their eggs will be exposed to the surface. When the snow falls, they will freeze to death."

Liu Xie nodded slightly and asked someone to write it down. After he went back, he asked Zhang Zhao to make prevention and control arrangements according to Xu Xuan's words.

When the emperor trained the ceremonial guards into Runan City, hundreds of thousands of people greeted each other, most of whom were crying and some officials scolded him. Liu Xie ordered Xun Yu to summon him on the spot, and the people in Runan were exempted from grain tax for two years, and all those who were severely affected were subsidized to ensure safety this year.

All the people turned their worries into joy, followed the emperor's chariot formation and the ceremonial guards, until the county magistrate of Runan City. Liu Xie accepted Xun Yu's suggestion and offered subsidies on the spot. Liu Xie and Xun Yu and other Xiangyang capital officials personally distributed money to the victims of each household.

Anyway, in Liu Xie's view, the trip to Runan is to make a show, to reassure the people, and tell them that the court must have the ability and willingness to take care of them, and it doesn't matter if it shows more.

Just when Liu Xie arrived in Runan, a special guest appeared in Cao Cao's mansion - Cao Cao's childhood close friend Lou Gui. Cao Cao had not seen him for many years, so he hurriedly sent someone to hold a banquet for entertainment, and then said to Lou Gui: "You have seen me for many years, why did you suddenly visit me today?"

Lou Gui smiled and said nothing, treating the few people, and said to Cao Cao: "It's not him, but I gave Meng De the seal of the general!"

Cao Cao was startled and smiled again and said, "This matter needs to be considered, but I will join Schill first!"

After the wine was over, all the rest left, leaving only Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and Lou Gui in the mansion. Cao Cao said, "What do you mean by Zi Bo now? It's okay to just say it!"

Lou Gui said: "Only entrusted by the imperial court, Mr. Situ, I asked Meng De to serve as the general, to pacify the traitors for the emperor and unify the Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Did Zhuge Liang want me to take action to get rid of Liu Bei?"

Lou Gui said: "Meng De's talent is rare in the world. How can he be controlled by others? Now the north is weak, and we can wait for Meng De to take advantage of the situation, take charge of the government, rectify military affairs, and decide the victory and defeat with the southern thieves. This is still a heroic move!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and then looked at Cheng Yu. Man Chong shook his head secretly, indicating that he would not agree. After careful consideration, his heart was as cold as an ice cave. He smiled and said, "This matter needs to be discussed for a long time. Zi Bo does not need to be anxious. I will reply in three days!"

Lou Gui stood up and sighed, "The heroes of the past are so embarrassed today. If it were Meng De of the past, you have made a conclusion now!"

Cao Cao was inspired by him and was about to answer, but Cheng Yu said coldly: "Today's prosperity in the south is so prosperous that the north is so easy to destroy the north. In the past, the south was poor, and the lord went to the north to take charge of power and might be the might of power. Today, the lord went to the north to take charge of power, but it was just a moth to the fire. I hope the lord thought deeply."

Cao Cao's heart was cold again, and the cold heart was so heartbroken that he no longer spoke.

Lou Gui said: "With Meng De's ability, how could he be afraid of the Southern thief's sons and sons?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that you fear it, but that you respect it deeply!"

When Lou Gui heard what he said, it was not as simple as fear, but very afraid! He was not happy in his heart, so he said goodbye and left.

When he walked to the door, he turned around and said to Cao Cao: "The emperor has decided to give up Luoyang and reach an agreement with the southern thieves to not attack each other for ten years. If there is a chance for ten years, Meng De will do a lot, so why should he be afraid of a child!"

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this. If he had ten years of stability and his talents, the north would definitely not be as weak as the south. In the battle of Liu Xie, the outcome would be unpredictable. He immediately said, "There is still something to do about this matter. Zi Bo will allow me to consider it again. There will be a reply in three days!"

Seeing that he was moved, Lou Gui was a little satisfied. With his understanding of Cao Cao, Cao Cao was definitely not a person who was willing to give up easily. When Zhuge Liang gave him such a good opportunity, he would definitely seize it without hesitation, because this might be his last chance.

A few days later, Cao Cao did not go beyond Lou Gui's expectations and decided to cooperate with Zhuge Liang, first destroy Liu Bei, to avenge his revenge, occupy Qing and Yan states, relying on Zhuge Liang's northern support to seek peace with Liu Xie, and secretly prepare for war.

After Liu Xie settled down in Runan, he returned directly to Xiangyang, while Xun Yu went to Yangzhou for him to appease the people.

It was already the end of July when he returned to Xiangyang. At this time, only 30% of the grain production land in Jingzhou was affected by the joint efforts of Zhang Zhao and Hu Zhao, while Liangzhou and Shuzhou were not affected by the disaster. There were no measures to eliminate locusts in the northern Jizhou and Youzhou. Large areas of grain production land were destroyed, and only Bingzhou, which was actually controlled by Zhuge Liang, was relatively stable.

The locust swarm continued to fly north, crossing the Great Wall and heading towards the grassland, and raging with the locust swarm north of the Great Wall. The Huns, Xianbei and other tribes were forced to continue to nomadic northwards and avoid the locust swarm.

After the Yellow River flood season, due to years of confrontation between the north and the south, no one paid attention to the management of the Yellow River. The northern rivers were even more silted, and the southern rivers were also covered in large areas, resulting in the flooding of the Yellow River. However, this flooding caused the grain production reduction not serious, because before that, the fields along the Yellow River had been destroyed by locusts, but also caused a large number of poor people to die. Liu Xie's Yuzhou killed and injured more than 100,000 people, and Yanzhou and Jizhou could not calculate it. However, Cao Cao's Qingzhou did not have large-scale damage due to timely prevention of disasters.

By early August, Zhou Yu formally led his troops to the city of Luoyang. Taking into account Huang Zhong's old age, he appointed Zhang Liao as his former general, led 100,000 garrison troops to attack the city, and transferred more than 300 catapults to smash the city.

Huang Zhong was quite dissatisfied and said to Zhou Yu: "I can still defeat Guan Yu, but Xu Huang is still weaker than Guan Yu, so why are you afraid of? Is it because General Zuo bullying someone in his old age and weak body!"

Zhou Yu and he guarded Wancheng for many years and knew his nature well, so he said: "If you have other important uses, you should accumulate energy and wait for fatigue. The general can fight in one battle!"

Huang Zhong was overjoyed and said nothing more. Although Guo Jia knew that Zhou Yu was too shirking his responsibilities, he was not convenient to expose it.

Later Huang Wudie told Guo Jia: "The city defense in Luoyang is strong, which is more difficult to attack than Chang'an. How can one fight be determined? I am afraid that the left general will make a mistake and will defeat my father!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Why do you need to worry too much about Wudie? Why don't Gongjin and his father-in-law know? However, his father-in-law doesn't want to be behind others. Gongjin comforted him in public, and his father-in-law also made him look very handsome. Why ask again and make him bored? As for Gongjin, he just comforted his father-in-law!"

Huang Wudie said angrily: "Why do you men just say one thing and do another?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "This is our nature, so how can we change it?"

At this time, in the north, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei had a very big conflict on the question of where the people outside Luoyang City retreated. Zhuge Liang demanded to retreat to Bingzhou, while Liu Bei hoped to retreat to Jizhou.

Liu Bei felt that he had reached a preliminary opinion with Liu Xie and was preparing to withdraw his troops from Luoyang. Yang Qi had already finished his talks with Pang Tong at this time and was about to come to Luoyang to discuss with Liu Bei on behalf of Zhuge Liang.

Yang Qi and Liu Bei said, "If the general withdraws his troops at this time, the southern thieves will definitely raise troops to attack the north. At that time, we will have no place to stay. Now Situ has also reached an agreement with the southern thieves. From this, it can be seen that the southern thieves are not trustworthy, but they just want to reap profits. The general should guard Yanzhou closely, and may leave a place. The situation in the north is no longer the past. The emperor has rein charge of the government affairs. Lord Situ assists the left and right. In the past, the general killed Dong Zhuo because he was a traitor. If the general was obsessed with it, he would definitely be a traitor in the future. It would be better to follow the trend and reach an agreement with Lord Situ. He resigned himself as the general and stayed only in Yanzhou. Lord Situ and the general both wanted to guard against the southern thieves and should form an alliance!"

Ju Su received a notice from Zhuge Liang and immediately stopped his troops and stopped going south. He stayed with Guandu and Baima to defend the power of Luoyang and Yanzhou to go north.

Seeing that things were not planned, Liu Bei said to Yang Qi: "Yanzhou is alone, how can it be guarded alone? I should abandon it, so I want to keep Jizhou as a precaution!"

Yang Qi said: "Mr. Situ has a saying, if the general is willing to retreat to Bingzhou, the emperor moves the capital to Xindu, and the general takes Liu Xie and Bingzhou along the Yellow River, and Lord. Situ is guarding Jizhou, the situation between the north and the south can be stable. If the general wants to obtain Jizhou, there is no place to accommodate him! Now, Lord. Situ is ordered to withdraw the people from Bingzhou, but he will not let the general be trapped and fight against the south, so he has the strength to resist the south!" The reincarnation Cao Cao is also willing to surrender to the emperor and reveals Liu Bei that Liu Bei is shocked and finally knows that his situation is gone.

The battle in Luoyang began, and Cao Cao had already ordered Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and Li Dian to lead 50,000 troops to attack Yanzhou. Xu Shu was afraid that Cao Cao would establish himself in the two states, so he immediately asked Pang De to lead his troops to fight. Chen Gong was surrounded on all sides and was suffering. When he was forcing his death, Chen Gong erected a southern flag and passed by Cao Cao's right. He defeated Xiahou Dun in Dongjun. He also picked up Xiahou Dun's military flag costume, pretended to be the remnants of Xiahou Dun's defeat, went deep into Liang County, and defeated Pang De.

Since Xu Shu left the army, he has not suffered a defeat in his life. He was furious and personally took charge of the commander. He led the Dingbei Army and the 100,000 garrison troops to fight back. Liao Hua and Lu Meng led 30,000 cavalry to surround Chen Gong's troops and trapped him in Liang County. Cao Ren led his troops to raid Lu Meng and rescue Chen Gong's troops and went out. Both north and south were shocked.

In this battle, Cao Cao finally took the example to join the North. Xu Shu was forced to withdraw from Xu Bei and ordered Wenpeng to rectify his troops and prepare to seize Qingzhou.

After Zhou Yu dispatched troops to attack Luoyang, Liu Bei finally had no choice but to accept Zhuge Liang's intention and retreated to Bingzhou. Zhuge Liang got Huguan and escorted Emperor Liu Bian to Jizhou with Taishi Ci, and joined forces with Ju Su to join forces.

Xu Huang and Jia Xu were ordered by the emperor to lead 200,000 troops to defend Luoyang alone, blocking the southern bandits from attacking the north, Zhou Yu and Xun You surrounded the city on both sides and attacked the city for more than two months. Both sides suffered more than 100,000 troops. With the permission of Liu Bei, Chen Gong was ordered by the emperor to lead 100,000 troops in Yanzhou to retreat from the white horses. After she passed the horses, she stationed troops in Henei, Hedong and Jiguan. Ju Su, Taishici, Zhang Fei and Ju Yi led 200,000 troops to defend Baima, Wuchao, and Guandu, waiting for the north to realize the division of power.

Cao Cao led his troops to seize Yanzhou, and Cheng Yu guarded Qingzhou. He finally seized the opportunity to seize the land of the two states. Zhuge Liang was also very happy. He was in trouble and transferred food, grass, army and horses to Cao Cao, asking him to continue to guard the two states. Liu Bian also took the opportunity to win over him and appointed him as the general.

By mid-October, the northern forces finally re-designed. Liu Bei stayed in Bingzhou and was granted the title of governor of Bingzhou. He was named the Grand General of the West and was named the Emperor's Uncle. He did not convict him of treason. Zhuge Liang, Ju Su and Tian Feng formed a new Jizhou faction and seized the power of the court. It was different from the Liu Bei era. At this time, the emperor Liu Bian finally began to resume his reign. Zhuge Liang, Ju Su and Tian Feng first took the position of the three dukes. At the end of October, the three dukes were abolished. Zhuge Liang took the position of the right prime minister and generalized the affairs of agriculture, economy, politics, commerce and military strategy; Ju Su was the left prime minister and in charge of military jails; Sun Shao took the position of the Grand Situ, and in charge of the civilians and rural commerce; Tian Feng took the position of the Grand Sima, and in charge of military affairs, and Cao Cao took the position of the Grand General and in charge of the conquest.

Xu Shu led 200,000 troops to capture Qingzhou, but Cao Cao was not rich in food and grass. Although the north had insufficient food and grass, Zhuge Liang knew very well that if Cao Cao was defeated, the north would inevitably embarrass Xu Shu's soldiers, so he and the large households in Jizhou took 30 million stones of grain and transported it to Yanzhou.

There were dozens of oppositions from the large families in Jizhou. Zhuge Liang ordered that all the land, grain and grass be confiscated.

By the spring of the following year, Zhuge Liang saw that the north had stabilized, and Xu Huang and Jia Xu gradually could not resist the attack of Zhou Yu and Xun You. The 300,000 people in Luoyang City. In the future, when they retreated, some young and strong people might die by going up to the city to help prevent them, or they might be killed by rolling stones thrown by more than 300 catapults in the south, or burned to death by more than 500 tung oil iron bombs fired by more than 500 tung oil iron bombs. The remaining ones were only 100,000. Most of the people outside the city had plundered the southern army, and only more than 200,000 retreated back to Jizhou.

Luoyang City is no longer the Luoyang City of the past. It has been prosperous for thousands of years and has disappeared in several months. The five- and six-foot-high city wall has turned into ashes, leaving only a little more than a meter of foundation. At that time, a southern general led more than 10,000 troops into the city to fight in the streets.

Zhuge Liang knew that it was useless to fight again, so he asked Xu Huang and Jia Xu to retreat back to Jizhou. Xu Huang led the remaining 100,000 troops to retreat. Jia Xu stood on the city wall and pointed at Xu Huang and scolded: "You are the unvirtuous people, when the southern thieves attacked, they are not the best in the same boat. They only know how to fight for power and profit. When Luoyang is lost, the emperor's wall will be lost. As a general, you can see the late emperor again!"

He then said to the generals: "I want to be loyal to the emperor for my death. Those who are not afraid of the dead will guard the city with me. Even those who are dead will have no regrets!"
