Chapter 447: Controlling Locusts

As strategists, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are thinking about the impact of a series of measures in the state, as long as they can pull the people out of the shadow of death, will they care about what they eat? When they are hungry, they don't even spare tree bark, grass roots, not to mention delicious flatbread.

"You are all the mainstays of the state, and this matter must not be spread around." Lu Bu advised, in fact, this matter will be known to everyone sooner or later, after all, the acquisition of a large number of locusts cannot be absolutely confidential, and the princes must still have fine work in Bingzhou, what he wants is this time difference, as long as enough locusts are acquired, Bingzhou will not be in trouble because of grain and grass, and can also get enough benefits in this natural disaster.

"Order Hou Cheng, go all out to buy locusts outside Huguan, as many as you want, and hoard them in Huguan for the time being." Lu Bu ordered.

Many people learned that after the acquisition of locusts in the state, they also brought a lot of locusts to come, a pound of locusts can be sold for a penny, a family of several people, it is equivalent to hundreds of money, this hundreds of money, enough for them to live in the state for some days, and during this time, they can go to catch locusts again, although the locusts in the state are not very many, but the number of locusts outside the Huguan is a lot, although it is a temporary way to live, it is much better than waiting outside the Huguan, they came to the state, is to settle down in the state.

The matter of grain and grass was temporarily solved, Lu Bu was in a good mood, and walked to the Jinyang Medical Center, the locusts can only solve the needs of the moment, but food is the foundation of the people's life.

It was not too difficult for Hua Tuo to develop a drug to deal with locusts.

"Meet the Marquis of Jin." When Huang Zhong saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Lu Bu picked up Huang Zhong and said, "What happened to General Huang's beloved son?" Can Hua Tuo have a cure? ”

"Thanks to the Marquis of Jin, Mr. Hua is worthy of being a miracle doctor, and under his care, the dog's condition is gradually improving." Huang Zhong said with a smile, and he was also overjoyed to see Huang Xu's face gradually ruddy.

"Now the old general can rest assured that he can go to the Bingzhou army, these war horses are carefully selected by Cao Xing from the horse farm in Jiuyuan." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the great grace of the Marquis of Jin, I am willing to serve the Marquis of Jin." ”

"Okay, with General Huang here, there will be another elite in the Bingzhou army in the future." Lu Bu laughed and said, as long as Hua Tuo can cure Huang Xu's condition, why worry that Huang Zhong will not stay in Bingzhou.

"Humble and go to the army." Huang Zhong hugged his fists.

"Why should General Huang be so anxious."

"The lowly position is also worried about the affairs of the army, the Marquis of Jin attaches so much importance to it, if the lowly position cannot train the cavalry well, it will be difficult to sleep and eat." Huang Zhong clenched his fists and left.

It has always been Huang Zhong's dream to be able to command a cavalry battle, not to mention that this army is equipped with bows and arrows, in the cavalry duel, the damage of bows and arrows is huge, as long as the cavalry under his command maintains a speed far beyond that of ordinary cavalry, the enemy can be eliminated through continuous archery.

"Okay, Ben Hou is very much looking forward to the heroic posture of General Huang Lao leading the cavalry across the field." Lu Budao has absolute confidence in Huang Zhong, not to mention archery, Huang Zhong's knife skills are also exquisite.

After Huang Zhong left quickly, Lu Bu went to Huang Xu's residence, and if Huang Zhong really wanted to stay in Bingzhou, the most critical factor was Huang Xu.

Seeing Lu Bu, Huang Xu hurriedly got up from the bed and saluted, "Meet the Marquis of Jin." ”

"Huang Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, can he still adapt to it in Jinyang?"

Huang Xu arched his hand and said: "It's good in Jinyang, and under Mr. Hua Tuo's treatment, the grass people will definitely be able to recover quickly." ”

"Okay, Ben Hou waited for Huang Gongzi to recover from his illness, and then he would do something in Bingzhou." Lu Bu said with a smile: "Huang Gongzi has nothing to do, and he can also learn about the system of merging states." ”

Huang Xu arched his hand and said: "The grass people understand. ”

Huang Xu's expression was a little excited, from Lu Bu's words, he could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to the Huang family, which was also the reason why Huang Xu tried his best to persuade Huang Zhong to stay in Bingzhou, it is extremely difficult for a general to be appreciated, otherwise Huang Zhong's skills would not be just a partial general in Changsha for so many years.

After getting the medicine, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers in the army to carry the strangely shaped medicine barrels to the outside of the city.

During this time, although a lot of locusts were caught, more and more locusts were pouring into the state, and it was not possible to completely eliminate them by catching them alone, and the most important thing was in the body of the drugs, which could kill the locusts, but there was little harm to people.

Although locusts can be eaten, it is also for ordinary soldiers and refugees, like the rest of the people, if it is talked about eating locusts, I am afraid it is even more difficult than killing them, even if other princes learn it, it is nothing for the state, as long as it can let the ordinary people live, it can be regarded as a contribution to the people.

The people working in the fields looked at it in amazement, and the soldiers of the state were walking in their fields, and there were already generals on the side to explain to the people, and they learned that it was the order of the Marquis of Jin, and the people did not stop them, and they had absolute trust in the Marquis of Jin, and the army of the state was to be able to get rid of the locusts, which was a great thing for the people.

To the surprise of the people and soldiers, the locusts in the fields died quickly in the places where these potions were sprayed, which made the people look at each other, and since ancient times, there have been no examples of people spraying medicine on their crops, and many people even secretly doubted whether the crops could be eaten after spraying.

In the area near Huguan, the number of locusts is the largest, and it took 10,000 soldiers and soldiers of the state army to finally complete the task of spraying all the fields with medicine in two days, and there are also many people who help them.

Strangely, the locusts did not dare to go to the fields where the medicine was sprayed, as if there was something terrible there.

After getting the news from the generals, Lu Bu showed a knowing smile, as long as he could control the locusts, and then solve the problem of drought in the fields, the state army would be able to free up his hands to clean up the east of the river, at this time the princes thought that the state army had no ability to attack other places, and Lu Bu just wanted to shake them again in such a situation, and he wanted to use practical actions to tell the princes of the world that what so-called disasters were not worth mentioning for the state.

Let those so-called scholars see that the state is invincible, and if they don't go to the state, it will only be their loss.

After all, the Bingzhou army wantonly bought locusts, and these locusts were transported to the place where they were cooking, and after a little thought, they knew that these locusts were in the stomachs of refugees and soldiers of the Bingzhou army.

Cao Cao, who was attacking Shouchun, was very surprised when he got this information, and asked, "Can locusts be eaten?" ”
