Chapter 593: Three Strikes of Natural Calamity

On that piece of paper, a lot was written, Ma Chao looked at it carefully, and found that what was recorded on it was actually the life events of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty recorded in simplified Chinese.

In some places, there is a clear lack of documentation. It can be seen that Liu Xie wrote it down according to his memory and the historical years. However, Ma Chao was surprised by not these. Instead, he saw that the records before the third year of Chuping were all ordinary black characters, and in the fourth year of Chuping, Liu Xie actually used a red red pen to draw a horizontal line!

And, under Ma Chao's keen sense of smell, he found that the red ink was not cinnabar, but blood. From this, it can be imagined that Liu Xie felt so painful and crazy when he drew that red line? !

The words above the blood line read: In the fourth year of the first peace, there was a great drought in Sili, from April to June. The emperor avoided the main hall and asked for rain and sent messengers to wash the prisoners. It is 500,000 grains, 200,000 beans and wheat, cannibalism, and white bones. Summer June Ding Chou, earthquake; Wu Yin, and it shook again. Yi Si obscure, the sun has an eclipse, and the big locusts are subordinate.

Ma Chao's hands didn't seem to be able to bear the weight of the paper, trembling slightly, and his cold and ruthless heart was even more defeated by the above content: great drought, earthquake, locust plague! The fourth year of Chuping is a whole year, which is simply a natural disaster for Sanfu!

Ma Chao has never experienced three disasters: drought, earthquake, and locust plague, but in his previous life, he watched a documentary about the great famine in Africa on TV. There is a dying big-headed doll who is targeted by vultures, and the tragic situation of a girl who should be curvy but lying on the grass like a skeleton, and the end of the whole TV is all dry and cracked land, and the red land is thousands of miles. Looking at the past, the seedlings and weeds did not grow, and in the face of hunger, people all turned into devils, and they were easy to eat each other, cutting flesh and stomachs. All humanity and morality were completely shattered in the face of the drought!!

And that's just the end of the drought, and from April to June, there were two earthquakes. Ancient buildings had no earthquake resistance at all, and people were panicked when the earth shook violently. The things that were smashed to death by wood and stones, you don't have to think about it, you know that there will be countless of them!

Next, there was another plague of locusts that was no less than the previous two. The big locust plague that swept the Guanzhong Plain, the locusts poured down all over the world, the grass seedlings were eaten up along the way, and even the trees and weeds could not escape the mouth of the locusts, and the entire Guanzhong Plain was thousands of miles of red land and starvation. Thinking of this, Ma Chao's scalp was numb, he knew that once the locusts attacked, the entire Guanzhong would become a hell on earth.

I have not seen the horror of the locust plague, but Ma Chao can recall that the historical records wrote: Guanzhong is full of locusts, eating crops and plants and trees, covering the sun, hindering people and horses from walking, filling in the trenches are all profitable. The horror of that scene can be imagined, all the locusts are not eating grass but eating people!!

"Husband, why is your look so ugly?" Liu Yue watched Ma Chao staring at the thin wind-supporting paper without blinking, his whole face almost turned pale, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

But Ma Chao didn't have the strength to reply to Liu Yue's concern at this time. That's right, he is the invincible god of war in Yongzhou, and he is the tide maker in the political whirlpool, but in the face of this natural disaster, he was beaten into his original form: he is just a mortal, ordinary and indistinguishable from others, and he is powerless to fight against the heavens.

Although he knew the law of historical development, he also worked hard several times, bringing the entire Ma family to an unprecedented height in history. But history also began to retaliate at this moment, after Ma Chao was ambitious and ready to recuperate next year, he sent troops to Guanzhong and threw himself into the big stage of the heroes, but history wanted to use three natural disasters in a row to let the Ma family return to the pre-liberation period!

You must know that the entire Yongzhou, after three years of painstaking operation by Ma Chao, has barely reached the scale of nearly one million people. Although the area is not as large as Yongzhou, the population is more than 3 million! With millions of manpower and three years of results, it will save an unprecedented catastrophe.......

Let's not talk about whether it's worth it or not, even if Ma Chao is ruthless to save the common people, it is unknown whether he can resist the past! And even if the Ma family carries it, it will take at least two to three years to recover to the current level of the Ma family....... Such a price is so big that Ma Chao doesn't dare to think about it!!

"Husband, there are still words behind this letter?!" Liu Yue saw that Ma Chao seemed to have fallen into shock and couldn't extricate himself, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly caught a glimpse of it, and behind it, there was actually a paragraph written in blood.

When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately flipped the letter over, and saw a line of handwriting that was much fresher than the previous page, which read: Ma Chao, I seem to have lost all of them to you, but in fact, you have lost your conscience and become a person like me!

"Liu Xie!!" Ma Chao angrily tore the wind paper in his hand, and roared in his mouth: "I will never be a ruthless person like you!" You have given up millions of Han Chinese in the Sili region, and I can forgive you for your incompetence and weakness. But I will never forgive you for seeing me as a cold-blooded person like you!! ”

"Husband... Husband! Liu Yue was shocked, hurriedly hugged Ma Chao and cried: "What's wrong with you?" What is written on this?! ”

Ma Chao's face was gloomy as ink, he thought for a long time, and said: "Yue'er, you may not believe it, but let me tell you, starting in April next year, there will be a major drought in the Sili area, cannibalism, and two major earthquakes in Chang'an on the two days of Ding Chou and Wuyin in June. And after the end of the day, there was still a locust plague in the Sili area......."

When Liu Yue heard this, her face was discolored. Although she is a princess of the Han family, she can understand the horror and heaviness of that catastrophe. At the same time, he could better understand Ma Chao's psychology at this time, and couldn't help but say tentatively: "Why is the husband so determined, next year will be the year of the catastrophe for Si Li?" Could it be that Liu Xie deliberately took the initiative to leave Chang'an for this reason? ”

Ma Chao took a deep breath, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he frowned and said, "Liu Xie left Chang'an because he lost Chang'an to me. However, he was unwilling to lose, and after knowing that Si Li was in trouble, he left a pen here to see how I would deal with it....... And he gambled that I would be like him, evacuate the Sili area, and let the millions of Sili Li Shu fend for themselves! ”

"But... But why did Liu Xie know that there would be a big disaster tomorrow? Liu Yue sat down on the dragon bed without the demeanor of a princess, and muttered: "Impossible, even though there are many people in the world who boast of knowing astronomy and geography, they are all swaggering and deceiving. And Liu Xie, the concubine didn't know that he would also be able to divinate the astrological ......."

Ma Chao smiled bitterly, Liu Xie and him, where do you need to know what astrological skills? The two of them only need to recall a little to give a rough idea of the history of the next 1,800 years, where is the need to look at the giant spherical celestial body composed of various substances to predict and speculate on the rights and wrongs of the earth?

After laughing, Ma Chao also sat on the dragon bed, gently hugged Liu Yue's shaved shoulder, looked at the bright and shining stars in the sky outside the window, and sighed silently in his heart: You can reflect the sun's rays in the sky carefree, bringing tranquility to the night. And in the world, I don't know what kind of apocalyptic disaster will be ushered in under such tranquility!

What's even more tragic is that the world doesn't know about it, but you alone know and have to bear it.......
