Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 639 Chapter 630
The erection of floating bridges on the Sishui River in the northern section failed, and Yuan Jun on the east and west banks had to withdraw.

Zhou Tai, who had not put away his murderous intentions, commanded the fleets, sent them to both sides of the strait, and then condescended to attack and counterattack Yuan Jun.

The bed crossbow of the water army can shoot far and sharply. Whether the bow or the crossbow used by the water army is good, the shooting range is obviously longer than that of Yuan Jun, and they have a high position advantage.

So Yuan Jun immediately retreated away from the river bank and went deep into the land.

The situation of the battle was quickly reported to Yuan Shu and Yuan Huanzhili.

This made Yuan Shu feel a little depressed again.

But Yuan Huan said: "It's expected, if Wang Xiu doesn't even think about this, then we will be able to capture Pengcheng very quickly, but our next goal is to destroy his navy first and destroy Zhou Tai's troops."

Yuan Huan was still wanting to talk about his detailed strategy, when someone hurried in and delivered a letter from Runan.

Judging from the big characters on the letter, Yuan Shu knew that it belonged to Yang Hong, another government adviser under him.

Yang Hong is Yuan Shu's second-in-command, responsible for all affairs in Yuzhou.

He sent a letter suddenly, could it be that something big happened in Yuzhou.

After unpacking the mud seal and taking it down to take a look, Yuan Shu's expression darkened a lot.

The brows knit together.

Yuan Huan asked, "My lord, what happened in Yuzhou?"

Yuan Shu put down the letter, he really didn't want to mention what was written in the letter, but he unconsciously thought about it.

After pondering for a while, Shi Zai still didn't understand it, and then he sighed and said: "Again, Xu Ding was right, Liang Guo discovered a large-scale locust, and Yang Hong sent people to other counties to make statistics. There are also insect plagues of varying severity in other places, but they are all under control now, but I am afraid that this situation will continue to worsen."

Prolonged drought will cause disasters, and locusts are everywhere.

Isn't this what Xu Ding is talking about on every page of the newspaper?
Yuan Huan also frowned suddenly.

Together with the imperial disaster, this is not good for the war.

Although Yuzhou has a big county like Runan, if the counties and counties get into trouble and the people can't make a living, and someone takes advantage of it to make trouble, the whole Yuzhou will be swept away.

Especially in Yuzhou, there are still many Yellow Turban forces that have not been resolved. If they come out to pretend to be ghosts and absorb the rioters, Runan will not be able to bear the trouble in Fuyu.

"Report! My lord, Tao Qian sent a letter!"

While Yuan Huan and Yuan Shu were still thinking about the Emperor's Disaster, another person came in to report.

Tao Qian's letter?

Is this strange?
Could it be that he came to ask for peace.

Yuan Shu asked someone to take the letter and deliver it, and then opened it to see, his face showed anger immediately, and he slapped the desk heavily.

"My lord, this is...?" Yuan Huan asked again.

Yuan Shu snorted angrily and said, "A large number of locusts were also found in Donghai County of Xuzhou. Tao Qian said that all counties and counties in Xuzhou would be affected soon, and asked if we should withdraw our troops, otherwise we would only get a ruined Xuzhou." , He also said that if we retreat now, he can not send troops to chase us, and he can settle the feud with us, and the worst thing is that he also said that if there is a locust plague in Yuzhou, he can intercede with Xu Ding and send food relief.”

Borrowing food for disaster relief, you are afraid that you don't know how rich Yuan Shu is, and you are afraid that you don't know how much face Yuan Shu will lose.

"My lord, it seems that this battle is about to end early, and we are hopeless in attacking. If the believers know about this, no one will attack the city." Yuan Huan also said a little unwillingly.

But he is more realistic, and now he really lost the best chance to attack Pengcheng.

If it was a few days later, it would be okay to say that both Xuzhou and Yuzhou were stuck at this time when locust plagues occurred.

If Yuan Shu still insisted on fighting at this time, he would probably be stabbed in the back, and the Yuan family's reputation would be ruined.

"Let's evacuate the siege for the time being. Let's wait and see the specific disaster situation in the two prefectures. If the improvement is not serious, then continue to attack Pengcheng." Yuan Shu said.

This is of course possible. It would cost too much to send troops at once, and he just went back home like this, which was also a blow to Yuan Jun's reputation.

Intangible assets are melted away.

So Yuan Huan didn't say much?
With the order to retreat, Yuan Jun who crossed the river retreated one after another, and did not surround Pengcheng.

Naturally, Wang Xiu and others received the news of the Xuzhou emperor's calamity very quickly.

"My god, Uncle Zhi, you guessed right. Yuan Jun really retreated from the siege, and Marquis Weihai also guessed right. We also had a plague of locusts in Xuzhou. I really don't know whether to rejoice or lament at this time." Zhang Zhaozhi Shi said with some emotion.

At this moment, Zhang Zhao's state of mind finally changed.

Such a dangerous situation was resolved in half at once.

The judgments of Xu Ding, Wang Xiu and others were too accurate.

Wang Xiudao: "Zibu will entrust you with the disaster relief in Pengcheng. You are familiar with the situation in various places. I believe that Qingzhou will soon send methods to prevent and control locust plagues. There is also food on Yuzhou Mountain Island. Large quantities will be transported into Xuzhou from both land and water to relieve the difficulties of the people."

"There is a solution. Can a natural disaster like the emperor worm really be cured? Uncle Zhi, you are not joking." Zhang Zhao was shocked again.

Even locusts can be cured, is this true or false.

In ancient times, plagues and pests, droughts, and floods were the most terrifying disasters, often leaving the governments and people everywhere helpless.

Now Wang Xiu even said that Qingzhou still has a way to prevent it.

Wang Xiudao: "It seems that you, Zibu, didn't read the newspapers carefully. Our newspapers have published the defense on all editions of the newspapers. It's a pity that except for the Mi family, Xuzhou took precautions according to the method. Others, including Tao Shi You are not vigilant enough.

As for locust control, I believe in the Lord. He said that there will be some remedial measures at that time, and we will just wait. "

Zhang Zhao really couldn't calm down anymore, he was not talking about other topics, so he went down to the city, then took out the newspapers collected in the study, and searched them. Sure enough, there was a small piece of reminder in the newspapers in the past six months, telling everyone how to prevent it A method of mass locust spawning.

It's a pity that it's too late to see these sutras now.

I haven't made any promises since last year.

Not many people follow their methods of prevention and control.

The next day, there was news that the Qingzhou cavalry from Taishan County had gone south.

At the same time, there are also methods of exterminating locusts going south. The method Xu Ding used in Yanzhou was also printed and placed in Qingzhou, and the prevention and control personnel equipped by Qingzhou were brought into Xuzhou together.

Other prefectures promised to only distribute newspapers and let them learn to do it by themselves. Only Xuzhou sent people directly because it was an ally and would be its own jurisdiction in the future.

With the instructors from Qingzhou, Xuzhou quickly set off a vigorous battle against locust plagues.

The grain hoarded on Yuzhou Mountain Island from Jiaozhou and the South China Sea was also transported to Xuzhou and began to support counties and counties.

In the past, Xuzhou was Xu Ding's place to purchase grain. For a long time, it supplemented and supported Donglai, but now it is supported and denied.

The officials in Xuzhou were in a complicated mood for a while.

Xu Ding Yijing has grown to this stage, and Yijing has become rich to this stage.

It's really emotional.

However, Tao Qian showed a feeling of relief, feeling that he could finally relieve the burden of Xuzhou.

Xu Ding has the ability to take over Xuzhou, so he can finally not worry about labor, and he doesn't have to be frightened day and night.

The people from Qingzhou are very professional in disaster relief, and because of their effective measures, the locust plague in Xuzhou was quickly brought under control.

On the other hand, after Yuan Shu received the cavalry from Qingzhou going south, he had no choice but to order to withdraw from Pengcheng to Zhuyi, and even the soldiers and horses in Lu County were withdrawn. Chen Yu on the right suddenly collapsed.
