Chapter 46: The Great Drought and the Great Disaster

The surrounding clansmen were unprotected, and they fled in all directions with strange screams. But he was mercilessly killed by the samurai who approached.

A few spears were pointed at Imana Darotu, and the spearheads of those spears were not sharpened and baked wood, but a strange stone, which looked much stronger than obsidian, though not as sharp as obsidian.

Then he heard the savages chirping and muttering, and Imana Darotu did not understand a word, and was bound by several savages.

Then many women and children were taken prisoner, and they even drove the sheep and disappeared into the valley all the way.

Only the adult warriors of the entire tribe were surrounded by the walking corpses. One by one, they were shaken off the trees and eaten alive.

They walked for three days, through patches of valleys. All around them were clouded and misty mountains, and they were taken down into a deep valley.

On both sides of the valley, irregular shrine-like things have been excavated. The grinning heads were put in, as if they had been treated with medicine, shriveled and atrophied, and their images were hideous.

It terrified the women and children who were taken captive. I was afraid that I would also be beheaded by these savages and put here.

The valley was covered with clouds and fog outside, but when I walked in, it opened up in front of me. There was even the sound of ping-pong, and there were a lot of white-haired walking corpses, wielding a strange stone tool in their hands, digging in the mountain wall.

They dug up the stones piece by piece. Some of the stones were picked out. It's like a coolie.

The captives looked even more terrified, wondering if they had gone straight to hell.

Then the valley gradually opened up, and many buildings made of stone appeared in front of them. It doesn't seem to be smaller than the size of their original city.

Let everyone look at each other. Frightened. No one knew that there was such a lurking force so close to their "world".

You know, although they have been migrating for more than a month, they can't go far in a day with so many sheep and people.

If it's a solo horse, now set off from where they left off. It will take a few days at most.

Not to mention the horror of the captives, except that they were quickly taken down and locked up in a huge wooden house. The surroundings were guarded.

Only Imanadarotu was tied up in the shape of a rice dumpling. They were escorted to the middle of the valley.

It was a large-scale pyramid that covered several acres. There were also many ragged slaves, who were held and carved on the steps.

Imana Darotu was horrified. This process technology. This kind of building scale, I have been here for so long. And neither he nor Hoko Arotu at the time had ever heard of the wind.

If these weird guys attacked them at that time, even if he and Hoko Arrotu were in their heyday, they wouldn't be these opponents.

And just by looking at these buildings, you can completely know that the level of civilization of these people is far higher than theirs.

Through the ancient legend of Guò, I only know that in the rainforest, there is this poisonous mist. Humans and animals will be killed instantly if they come into contact with it.

But he never thought that this poisonous fog was actually manipulated by someone. This tribe is powerful. The weird, murderous has left a deep impression on Hocco Arrotu's heart.

He even thought in his heart that he didn't know if Tezkapolipoca was the opponent of these people......

Before we got close to the land of Shuofang, we gradually saw many signs of drought. In many places, the rivers have become shallow and disappeared, and in some places the pastures are showing signs of yellow wilting.

Most of the rivers in the steppe have a low flow and short length. There are even many rivers that are completely seasonal. But at this time, there are so many river droughts, and it still makes people change color. Many nearby tribes migrated.

Further south, the more strict it becomes, and it seems that it has never rained since the Great Heavenly Master of Dawen came out of the jam last year.

All the way to the Bai Dadan Department, which was originally at the junction of Western Xia and Liao, the drought was even more shocking.

Bai Dadanbu is located under the rule of the Yuanliao Collapsed Ridge Recruiting Division, adjacent to Yunnei Prefecture. Although it is said to be a Khitan tribe, it is in the same vein as the Liao State.

But in fact, the Bai Da Dan tribe was a combination of Khitans, Han Chinese, and Tangut people, and had always been responsible for guarding the area north of Yuyin Mountain for the Great Liao. It is adjacent to the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division in Western Xia. Speaking of which, it was originally mainly to defend against the Tanguts.

It's just that at this time, Western Xia had already been wiped out, and even the Liao Kingdom had collapsed and restored the name of Khitan.

This Bai Dadanbu, which was close to the Xijing Road of the former Liao Kingdom, naturally judged the situation early and took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that now that we are facing a major drought, the situation in this newly conquered place is somewhat unstable, and people's hearts are in turmoil.

Some rumors spread, and many blamed such a rare catastrophe on the head of the Song army.

All kinds of rumors are saying that it was because the Great Song army came to the grassland that angered Changshengtian. Therefore, Changsheng Tian was angry, which led to the great drought and locust plague.

In any case, this kind of rumor spread quickly from Xijing Road to Nanjing Road, and even to Liaodong. The troublemakers were distracted, and even the army marched, and those steppe tribes were originally strongly supported, but now they have become faintly hostile.

This made Liu Fa have a faint bad premonition, and found an opportunity to whisper to Master Wen: "Father Shang, it's not good if this matter goes on like this." ”

Wen Fei nodded and said, "I naturally know, General Liu, don't worry, I will solve this matter!"

When Liu Fa heard this, he felt a lot more relieved. Since the great Heavenly Master Wen with great powers has said this, I think I am too worried.

I still can't rest assured when I think about it, the so-called lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death. As a subordinate, it is impossible for everything to be solved by Shang's father. Otherwise, what is the use of yourself?

At the moment, he said: "The last general also has a reputation here, so it is better to let the last general go to appease these tribes first!"

Wen Fei said with a smile: "I don't know what means General Liu plans to use to appease these grassland tribes?"

Liu Fa said loudly: "Now the rumors are too strong, and people's hearts are in turmoil. If the means are too much, it will only make people more detached from morality!"

Wen Fei bowed slightly, as if agreeing with his words. But he added, saying: "This Heavenly Master is going to gather the world's Taoist disciples to pray for rain to drive away locusts in the land east of the river. ”

This sentence made Liu Fa hear it, and his heart was even more happy. Walk thousands of miles all the way, patrol the North Sea. There was no one who knew the means of the Great Celestial Master Wen better than him, and he immediately said happily: "This will be better!

He was famous in this area of Western Xia and was known as a god general. Even the people of the Bai Dadan tribe, which was adjacent to Western Xia, had heard of his reputation. came forward to soothe people's hearts, and preached everywhere that Master Wen Da wanted to cast spells and pray for rain, and the news spread for a while, and there was no fixed number of people's hearts, and the tribes who had just hated the Great Song army turned the wind and were very upset about the army.

In the current era, I don't have a deep understanding of the land outside the Saiwai, and I always think that it is all barren land, and it is useless except for the grassland that can be grazing.

In fact, you must know that in later generations, the cultivated land area of Inner Mongolia has reached more than 100 million mu. It is said that all of them have 5,491,400 hectares of usable cultivated land, with 0.24 hectares of cultivated land per capita, ranking first in the country.

Even if the current science and technology are not up to the mark, a lot of arable land cannot be used, but even if half of it can be used and can be turned into arable land, it is enough to make people happy.

With such a treasure land, Master Wen never intended to give it up. Not to mention that the tyrannical things were handed over to the Khitans.

But things have to take their time, since they plan to let the Khitans stay as a barrier in the Central Plains, they can't be bullied too much. These need to be cut with a soft knife, and there is no hurry.

did not stay for a few days, Wenda Tianshi went all the way from Yunnei Prefecture to Xijing Datong, and then entered Nanjing Xijin Mansion. That is, from Shanxi to Hebei in later generations, the place names of these places still use the Khitan title. The so-called Xijin Mansion is the official name of the Khitan for Youzhou Yanjing.

At present, all kinds of things are waiting to be done, and the situation of the county and the official position in Dasong Prefecture is quite chaotic. These are all things that need to be reformed slowly, that is, the place names will be unified in the future.

However, these are all things in the future, and they should be put together with the official reform of the Great Song Dynasty. This requires that the Heavenly Master of Wenda have enough talents. There's no rush right now!

Everywhere I saw it was a drought, and the locusts were like the sky covering the sun. kept seeing the people privately sacrificing to the locust god, which made Master Wen frown from time to time.

Even when passing through Yunnei Prefecture and seeing the Yellow River, it made people frown. The Yellow River, which was originally raging, seems to have lost too much water.

In many places, large areas of silt were exposed at the bottom of the river, and the banks were densely packed with small holes, all of which were filled with locust eggs, and if they hatched, they would be overwhelming.

Even the Great Song Dynasty soldiers who followed Master Wen all the way for thousands of miles were also changed, even when they saw a powerful enemy, they were not afraid. Even in the wind and snow near the North Sea, they did not let them bow their heads, but seeing these scenes made each of them panic in their hearts.

Fortunately, soon, there were merchants from the Great Song Dynasty who came to work for the army. The Yellow River is harmful, and it is only profitable.

The Yellow River is in the vicinity of Yunnei Prefecture into a big few words, and in the middle of those words, is the famous Hetao. It was originally occupied by the Western Xia, but since the fall of the Western Xia and the recovery of the Great Song Dynasty, it was re-named by Zhao Ji and divided into Lingzhou Xiazhou.
