The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 267

"Four tyrants!"

"Hmph, what's so great about the four tyrants? Four kings!"

"Huh? Looks like we're sure to win today, four emperors!"

"Uncle Fang, are you stupid? This is Zifeng who is a rich man. How did you hit me?"

"Hey! Brother Wannian, don't worry. I only have one card in my hand. If it explodes here, I can turn it over. Hehehe, Zifeng, according to what you said, it's tripled."

"Cut~! How could I catch a big player without something in my hand? Didn't you notice that there is no god on the card table now? I'm so sorry, I have two gods in my hand. God exploded! Even the cards Hahahaha, Sifan, give me money, give me money!"

"Hey, it's over, it's over, Huo Fangbo, are you sending money to your eldest Sima on purpose? How dare you beat four emperors without seeing a single one?"

"What's the matter! Brother Wannian, how many hands are there for a hundred dollars? Not counting the one just now, I have already lost two thousand dollars to get in!"

The time has come to the middle of May in 268 AD, after Sima Wang launched a full-scale attack on the city at the beginning of April of this year.The Jin army never launched a major offensive again.In order to pass the time and avoid low morale, the bored Guan Yi took out the big killer "Fighting the Landlord" in advance.

Of course, since it is a time traveler, there will be no J/Q/K/A in this card.In the cards of the traveler, J is General, Po, Mu, Qi, and Jian. Q is for beautiful women, such as Bao Si, Xi Shi, Da Ji, and Mei Xi. K is the overlord, Qi Huan, Chu Zhuang, Jin Wen, Qin Mu. A is the king, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang. 2 is the emperor, Shihuang, Gaozu, Wudi, Guangwu.On the top are two divine cards: Yandi and Huangdi.

Well, yes, the lowest number in this deck is 3.And this kind of gameplay is not called Doudizhu.But "kill big households".

The entertainment life in this era is really scarce, so after Guan Yi took out the Landlord, which was popular all over the country in later generations, the whole army became obsessed with it for a while. Guan Yi was also surprised.In the end, Guan Yi had to issue strict orders: officers and soldiers on duty are strictly forbidden to play cards, and those who violate it will be beheaded.Those who are undervalued must also go to bed on time, and are not allowed to stay up late to play cards, and offenders will be fined heavily.And sent Jiang Su as the correcting officer, after really killing a few people.This upsurge of killing big households by the whole army can be regarded as more standardized.

While shuffling the cards, Qi Wannian said: "Da Sima's poker game is really interesting. It's easy to play, but the changes are endless. It's really addictive. Among other things, the four of the Li family now have nothing to do. Locked up in a tent to play this. I went there early in the morning the day before yesterday and saw them playing all night again..."

Yes, because Li Mu and his son led the army to "encircle" the west passage of Mei County.Therefore, Guan Yi's originally expected cut-off of internal and external news did not happen at all.Now that he is sitting in Mei County, he can also maintain a very smooth connection with the outside world.Just in case, Qi Wannian dictated things that were not particularly important, and tried to avoid carrying letters with him.

"Well, speaking of it, it has been a while since Soochow sent troops? How is the battle going now?"

"Hey, your Si Wencao's efficiency is still very high. When I went the day before yesterday, they sent the battle report from ten days ago. Well, in Yangzhou, Ding Chengyuan has already surrounded Hefei tightly, and started a comprehensive campaign. Attack. However, Hefei is a strong city with triple walls inside and outside after all, so it is not so easy to take it down. As for Jingzhou, Lu Youjie is really a genius. Chen Qian was imprisoned in the mountains of Shangyong."

"so close?"

"Yeah, just a little bit, Chen Qian only entered Zhuyang County two hours earlier than him."

"Hey, it's a pity. But it's okay. With the temper of that stupid emperor of Jin, he trusted his family far more than famous officials and generals. So Chen Qian was not imprisoned. Sooner or later, because of the command of the Jingzhou theater and Sima Liang There is a conflict. At that time, Lu Youjie will still have a chance."

"What Da Sima said is true. In addition, I have a very important news to report to Da Sima."

"It's very important? You guys, since you know it's very important, why did you say to play a few games first after you came here?"

"Hey, the addiction is coming. You know, in order to prevent Sima Wang from knowing that we Di people are exchanging news with you. I only dare to teach Li Mu and his son the game of killing big families. They don't dare to spread it... But it takes three people to play this game!"

"Tch, what am I supposed to do. I'll teach you how to play stud later. Many people can play that game together. Alright, let's get down to business."

"Well, well, it's actually not a big deal. Da Sima, you know that we Di people are divided into many tribes. Among them is the Fu clan, which has lived in Anding County for a long time. They just sent news yesterday, saying He has already received Cao Ti, the king of Cao Wei and Liang."

"Oh, how many brothers are left of my big Han Si Wencao?"

"The words of Da Sima are the root cause of how many people are willing to die for you." After sincerely admiring, Qi Wannian's face darkened: "The situation is very bad, there are only seven brothers left. The original leader Li Qi also died on the Taihang Mountain."

"Hey, for this puppet, 24 brothers were killed. No, it was 25. Brother Deng also died a heroic death!"

"It's just asking for benevolence. Da Sima doesn't have to worry too much. Let Da Sima know that the relationship between the Li family and the Fu family is not very good, so it can't be said that Qi will go to Anding County in person tomorrow. When the time comes, Da Sima You must dispatch a team of elites to me in case of accidents."

"That's the reason, Uncle Fang, you should arrange this right away."

"promise."

The three of them had just finalized the relevant matters. Before Huo Zai could get up, Jiang Su stumbled and rushed in with a face full of horror: "Master Uncle! Please come to the tower to have a look!"

"What's the matter? The Jin army attacked the city?"

"No, it's locusts... locusts!"

It's finally here!In 268 AD, the locust plague that swept through Guanzhong arrived as promised!

At the turn of April and May, farmers from all over Guanzhong were horrified to find that countless jumping gnats had appeared in their fields.The appearance of this scene made those old farmers with rich farming experience tear up: This is the larva of locusts!With such a high density of jumping locusts, within a month, a plague of locusts will surely appear!

Sure enough, after eating a lot of winter wheat that is about to mature and spring wheat that is still growing, the jumping nymph quickly completes multiple molts, and finally flaps its wings and flies!The plague of locusts that covered the sky and the sun appeared!
Therefore, in May of this year, on the desk of Sima Yan, who was far away in Luoyang, all kinds of urgent memorials almost drowned His Majesty the Emperor.

"The prefect of Chen Anding County urgently reported! On May [-]th, a locust plague broke out outside Linjing City! Millions of migratory locusts covered the sky and covered the sun, like a strong wind sweeping across the sand dunes, and their momentum was like thunder! The swarm of locusts landed like yellow snow all over the sky Tens of thousands of acres of green wheat seedlings in the south of Linjing City turned yellow in an instant! On the day the minister’s messenger set off, the tens of thousands of acres of spring wheat fields outside Linjing City had completely disappeared! This year’s spring wheat crops in Linjing City have not been harvested! Again, The swarms of locusts have already moved south, and I have notified the counties on the south road!"

"The prefect of Chen Xinping County urgently reported! On May [-]th, a locust plague broke out in Xinping County! The migratory locust formation was more than [-] miles long and more than ten miles wide. The migratory locusts approached, and the day turned into dusk. The density of migratory locusts was extremely high. Once they landed , the wheat seedlings, branches, and roads have all disappeared... By the day the subordinate messengers set off, the wheat fields within a radius of [-] miles outside Qixian county had been completely destroyed! The locusts had spread their wings to the south, and the minister had sent messengers to report to the counties on the south road !"

"The prefect of Fengyi County urgently reports! On May [-]th, migratory locusts entered Fengyi County! Countless wheat fields were destroyed! Migratory locusts landed, and the ground was covered with yellow grass! Five feet away, everyone could not distinguish each other! Migratory locusts landed in Wulinjin City , Every household, kitchen stove, bed, and table are covered with migratory locusts! The soldiers and civilians in the city are frightened, and there are people who are amazed, panicked, mourned, and prostrate, one after another!"

"My minister fuyi guards the school captain to report urgently. Migratory locusts have entered the jurisdiction of the minister. Wherever they pass, the wheat fields and pastures are gone. There are aliens in the territory, and the people are in panic. If there is no food relief, the army will suppress it. I am afraid I can't bear to say it thing!"

"Minister Chang'an Supervising Army Du Yu urgently reported... Migratory locusts gnawed on the wheat fields, and the winter wheat that was about to be harvested was all destroyed. The people's hearts are depressed! Those who don't know what to do don't know how many people are there! Some hang themselves on the beam! Some drown themselves In the rule of ministers, Chang'an, where the people were originally simple and honest, had frequent cases of robbery, theft, and murder! The hearts of the people have almost collapsed..."

"Chen Jingzhaoyin urgently reports...the wheat fields are completely destroyed, and the price of grain is soaring! Within Jingzhao, grain vendors take advantage of this to hoard grain and raise prices on the ground! Since the day the minister's messenger left, the price of local grain has dropped from one month ago. One hundred yuan per stone soared to 480 yuan per stone! Although I opened Jingzhao Mansion Kuping to sell grain, but the people panicked and rushed to buy it, and I could not continue!"

"I have sent an urgent report to General Sima Wang of Zhengxi! Flying locusts covered the sky and entered the barracks at sunset, gnawing on the rations. On the day I sent the report, most of the 30 shi of the rations accompanying the army had been lost! Most of the troops under my command came from Guanzhong. The locust plague in Guanzhong, the soldiers are worried about the old, young, women and children at home. Therefore, the morale of the whole army has plummeted! I implore your majesty to send food relief to Luoyang as soon as possible! Stabilize the morale of the army and the people!"
