If he can occupy Xuzhou, then what will he have to fear from Cao Cao!

"Your Majesty, Tao Qian's funeral will be held in two days. Your Majesty should also come forward at that time!"

"As for the matter in Xuzhou, you should not be too anxious!"

Seeing Lu Bu's confidence in front of him, Hao Meng couldn't help but give some advice.

"Now that Cao's army is out, you still need to be cautious!"

Now that Cao Cao is right next to them, Hao Meng feels that it would not be a good thing if there is a rift between Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

Keep Liu Bei safe for the time being. When Cao Cao's threat is lifted, Liu Bei will be nothing at all.

After hearing what his subordinates said, Lu Bu was determined.

Yes, Cao Cao is still watching eagerly from the side. With his current strength, it is difficult to resist Cao's army.

I would like to meet Liu Bei to see his attitude.

"You are right, I would like to meet Liu Bei for a while while Tao Qian is mourning!"

……

Xuzhou, Dongping City!

Inside Cao Jun’s camp.

"Liu Bei took over as Xuzhou's pastor?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but curl up his lips when he learned that Liu Bei had taken over the pastoral duties in Xuzhou on the recommendation of Xuzhou Mi Zhu and others.

He even sent a letter of greetings to Liu Bei two days ago.

The other party spoke sincerely, saying that he had no intention of taking over Xuzhou, but he turned around and took Xuzhou into his hands.

What a surprise!

"Brother, Liu Bei is now the Mu of Xuzhou, but it is just Tao Qian's intention. The court report has not made him famous. Liu Bei is not the Mu of Xuzhou now!"

Cao Ren said something subconsciously.

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. When he said this, he remembered that the imperial court did not seem to recognize that he was a Yanzhou shepherd.

However, this is all it says, and the current Han Dynasty court only has an empty name.

Yanzhou is now actually under his control, and there is no doubt that he is the shepherd of Yanzhou.

As for Liu Bei, he is different from him.

No matter what Liu Bei said, his surname was Liu. Liu Bei could not ignore the Han Dynasty.

"Brother, should we take advantage of Tao Qian's new mourning to attack Xuzhou?"

Cao Ren asked casually.

Now that Tao Qian is dead, it is extremely advantageous for them to attack Xuzhou. But just after he said these words, Cao Cao couldn't help but shook his head.

"No!"

"Tao Qian has recently passed away. Xuzhou feels a lot of gratitude for him during his lifetime. Attacking Xuzhou now is not beneficial to us!"

After saying this to Cao Ren, Cao Cao sighed.

I saw earlier that the people of Xuzhou had heard about Tao Qian's death and left voluntarily. Under such circumstances, attacking Xuzhou might be counterproductive.

As the saying goes, a sad soldier will win, so there is no need for him to do such a dangerous thing.

At present, half of Xuzhou is under his control. As long as he advances slowly, he can securely capture the entire Xuzhou. There is no need to take risks.

"At this moment, Liu Bei is taking care of Tao Qian's funeral affairs and attacking Xuzhou. Let's wait until this matter is over before talking about it!"

……

At the end of June, the great heat is approaching.

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

Because Tao Qian was newly mourned, Cao Jun did not take advantage of this time to attack Xuzhou.

Regarding Cao Cao's actions, the people of Xuzhou highly praised him.

The whole of Xuzhou, thanks to Tao Qian, has temporarily returned to peace.

Xi Yu, who was in Juancheng, was leading Zhao Yun and others to promote the raising of wild boars and other poultry.

Xun Yu, who had been responsible for everything in the rear, hurriedly found Xi Yu.

Seeing Xun Yu looking for her in a dusty way, Xi Yu was a little confused.

At this moment, Xun Yu's face was ugly. Looking at Xi Yu, he didn't seem to know yet, so he quickly opened his mouth to tell the news he had just received.

"Fengyi, the locusts are coming!"

Xun Yu looked sad.

Not long ago, a large number of locusts suddenly appeared from the territory of Kanto. Those locusts were like covering up the sky and the sun.

Starting from northern Hebei, it swept all the way south.

Nowadays, locusts have appeared throughout the Guanzhong area.

The locust plague is a natural disaster that is not much different from a drought.

Wherever the locusts pass, not even an inch of grass can survive.

If a large number of locusts cross the border, this year's autumn harvest will be hopeless.

"Locusts?"

Xiyu was slightly stunned.

Locusts are crossing the border!

He only remembered that since this year, natural disasters, droughts and the like began to occur in various parts of the Han Dynasty.

Regarding the records of locusts crossing the border, he seems to have ignored it.

Yes, it is extremely normal for locust plagues to occur during severe drought.

The locust plague is an extremely serious matter for this era and even for future generations.

Locusts have been a source of anger and resentment throughout Chinese history.

Later emperors of the Tang Dynasty had to punish themselves because of the locust plague.

Xun Yu looked sad.

A locust plague has already appeared in Guanzhong, and it won't be long before Yanzhou is also unavoidable.

The entire Yanzhou farmland will face a huge crisis.

If these locusts are really allowed to cross the border, Yanzhou will probably be sad this year!

Faced with such a thing, Xun Yu had no choice at all.

After he received such news, he was somewhat at a loss. The reason why he found Xiyu now was because of his flexible mind and many unexpected ideas.

Glancing at Xun Yu, Xi Yu could somewhat understand the other person's mood at the moment.

Although the consequences caused by the locust plague are very serious, for Xi Yu, who has the experience of later generations, it is not difficult to solve the locust problem.

"Brother, don't panic, the locusts will be easy to deal with!"

Xi Yu spoke out to comfort him, and when Xun Yu next to him heard this, he couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.

"Is there a countermeasure for Fengyi?"

Xun Yu just treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor. He really had no experience in dealing with locusts.

Now that Xi Yu said he had a solution, Xun Yu was naturally a little moved.

"Brother, this time I, Zilong and others, have been promoting the raising of wild boars in Yanzhou. This time has been quite effective, and many people's homes also raise chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry!"
p>

"Brother, you know that poultry such as chickens and ducks are the enemies of locusts!"

"This time, my brother will make an announcement to the people, asking them to drive their poultry to the fields so that when the locusts come, they will have nothing to worry about!"

Xi Yu was talking eloquently, and Xun Yu's eyes narrowed slightly when he said these words.

Can poultry deal with locusts?

Xun Yu didn't know anything about this matter, but when he heard Xi Yu's words, he believed them.

"In that case, let's do what Fengyi said!"

Xun Yu had no choice. Locusts were already everywhere in Guandong, and soon the entire Yanzhou would also suffer.

He doesn't know how to play Yu at the moment, but he has no other choice at this moment.

"Brother, I have one more thing to say!"

Thinking of the current drought situation, Xi Yu was worried that there were too few people raising poultry in Yanzhou, so he thought about it and shouted to Xun Yu.
