Chapter 101 Happiness comes so suddenly

The sky was a little gloomy, and even the rain seemed to have turned gray.

There were cries all around, and everything seemed a bit too sudden.

Liu Bei was in a daze.

Tao Qian passed away suddenly in the depths of summer.

Recalling his first arrival in Xuzhou, Liu Bei felt increasingly sad.

Tao Qian treated their brothers very well, and they could be said to be very considerate.

The brothers were short of troops, so Tao Qian turned around and sent thousands of Danyang soldiers to resist Cao Cao, forcing all Cao Bao to obey his orders.

It has been entrusted to Xuzhou several times before.

All kinds of actions can show Tao Qian's trust in him.

Now, Tao Gong is dead, but he can't even see him one last time.

Xuzhou, Dongping City!

Now that Cao Cao was right next to them, Hao Meng felt that it would not be a good thing if there was a rift between Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu shouted again, her voice already somewhat tragic.

He seems to have ignored the records of locusts crossing the border.

"If the general cannot supervise Xuzhou, we, the people of Xuzhou, will not be able to live in peace!"

Yes, it is extremely normal for locust plagues to occur during severe drought.

Xun Yu just treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor. He really had no experience in dealing with locusts.

The locust plague is an extremely serious matter for this era and even for future generations.

Keep Liu Bei safe for the time being. When Cao Cao's threat is lifted, Liu Bei will be nothing at all.

"Fengyi, the locusts are coming!"

Mi Zhu held up Tao Qian's last words with both hands, her voice low and her whole body trembling slightly.

Liu Bei's voice was low, but there was no intention of rejection in his words.

Nowadays, locusts have appeared throughout the Guanzhong area.

Using locusts as tax deductions will not only mobilize the enthusiasm of the people of Yanzhou to protect rice from being affected.

Inside Cao Jun’s camp.

"General?"

The entire Yanzhou farmland will face a huge crisis.

Worryingly, the entire Xuzhou, along with half of the area under his command, has been affected by the locust plague.

Thinking of the current drought situation, Xi Yu was worried that there were too few people raising poultry in Yanzhou, so he thought about it and shouted to Xun Yu.

Perhaps out of concern for Tao Qian's friendship, he should express his stance this time.

After the matter settled, Liu Bei withdrew his expression of compassion. After he calmed down, he looked at Sun Qian and Mi Zhu.

Sun Qian shouted loudly and his words were quite sincere.

The locusts in Yanzhou did not last long.

As long as it's done properly, this stuff doesn't taste bad.

Locusts are passing through!

When someone within the territory first shouted that locusts were coming.

"At the moment, Liu Bei is taking care of Tao Qian's funeral affairs and attacking Xuzhou. Let's wait until this matter is over!"

…

He didn't know how to play Yu at the moment, but he had no other choice at the moment.

He even sent a letter of greetings to Liu Bei two days ago.

I saw earlier that the people of Xuzhou had heard about Tao Qian's death and left voluntarily. Under such circumstances, attacking Xuzhou might be counterproductive.

In Xuzhou, migratory locusts gnawed away at the rice fields, leaving only one out of ten.

Are those locusts really edible?

"Brother, if we don't mobilize the people of Yanzhou with taxes, once the locusts cross the border, there will be no hope for the autumn harvest, and the entire Yanzhou will be harvestless. That would be a bad thing!"

???

Your fate is right in front of you, so there is no need to worry about it.

The news came so quickly that for Lu Bu, his mood did not change much.

Dense black shadows gradually began to appear on the sky to the north. Xi Yu and Xun Yu, who were in the government office, immediately looked towards the sky.

No matter what Liu Bei said, his surname was Liu. Liu Bei could not ignore this Han Dynasty.

Yes, if he hadn't had any territory all along, how could he be inferior to Cao Cao?

After receiving such news, he was somewhat at a loss. The reason why he found Xiyu now was because of his flexible mind and many unexpected ideas.

Xi Yu was talking eloquently, and Xun Yu's eyes narrowed slightly when he said this.

After hearing this, Liu Bei looked intently at Tao Qian's death sentence in front of him.

"Brother, you know that poultry such as chickens and ducks are the enemies of locusts!"

On the other side, Guan Yu also raised his head and looked at Liu Bei quietly.

Cao Cao was half happy and half worried when he learned that the migratory locusts had passed through and Yanzhou had not suffered much damage.

What a surprise!

"Brother, Liu Bei is now the Mu of Xuzhou, but it's just Tao Qian's intention. The imperial court has not announced it. He, Liu Bei, is not the Mu of Xuzhou now!"

Xun Yu had no choice. Locusts were already everywhere in Guandong, and soon the entire Yanzhou would also suffer.

"You are right. Taking advantage of Tao Qian's funeral, I would like to meet Liu Bei for a while!"

Xun Yu, who had been in charge of everything in the rear, hurriedly found Xi Yu.

…

Liu Bei has not forgotten Chen Deng. Now that he has taken over Xuzhou's pastoral position, the nobles in Xuzhou cannot avoid it.

Seeing Lu Bu's confidence in front of him, Hao Meng couldn't help but give some advice.

Follow Liu Bei, follow Liu Bei.

After saying this to Cao Ren, Cao Cao sighed.

This locust plague spread almost all over the Han Dynasty. Not only the Yanzhou area, but also Sili Guanzhong, Qingxu Prefecture, and even Jingzhou further south were affected to some extent.

Immediately, he asked the two of them.

Throughout Xuzhou, due to the sudden passage of migratory locusts, Cao Cao no longer had the intention to deal with Liu Bei and others.

"No!"

However, Liu Bei seemed a little dazed at this moment, as if he didn't hear Mi Zhu's voice.

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

Seeing Liu Bei's lack of response, Zhang Fei beside him couldn't help but feel anxious.

Later emperors of the Tang Dynasty had to punish themselves because of the locust plague.

If these locusts are really allowed to cross the border, Yanzhou will probably be sad this year!

Because of the announcement issued by the Yanzhou Administration Office, the people of Yanzhou no longer have the so-called fear of locusts.

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded subconsciously.

The whole of Xuzhou, thanks to Tao Qian, has temporarily returned to peace.

This is already Tao Qian's death, why is the eldest brother still hesitating?

Mi Zhu and others did not have the slightest objection to this.

Compared to Zhang Fei's anxiety, Guan Yu didn't say anything.

Lu Bu, who was in Pengcheng, also received the news of Tao Qian's death at this moment.

"Everyone, Tao Gong is newly mourned. Please ask General Cao Bao to lead his troops to bring peace to the people!"

Fengyi said that locusts can be eaten?

Has he eaten it?

Xun Yu didn't think Xi Yu would make such a joke with him at this time, but eating locusts was a bit shocking after all!

Today's people regard locusts as gods and let them eat locusts. How is this possible?
