Chapter 6545 The situation begins to change
The astonishing performance of the Kushan Empire spread to the other two empires in a very short time. It was indeed an outrageous operation that they were unable to stop tens of billions of locusts. Although the tragedy of the defeat was horrific, you can tell me whether they were able to stop them.
Although due to the outrageous number of locusts, you blocked nearly 10 billion and bypassed the remaining tens of billions, which was basically equivalent to not blocking them, but the loss in a certain period of time was indeed only half of that when the entire locust swarmed, even so, many Dayuezhi brothers who had just come down from the Beigui Mountains to become Kshatriyas could not bear it anymore and chose to self-destruct in the face of the crazy locusts.
The Kushans used all the secret techniques they could, including the Thunder Breath of Emperor Tian, the Sunshine of Emperor Yan, the Advent of the Wind God, the Explosion of Supermodel Clouds, the Burning of the City by Flames, etc. In the end, they were shamefully knocked to the ground by Huangtian, and completely lost the ability to resist.
There is no way, the number is just too large. The Kushan supermodel cloud still needs some time to accumulate, while the locust sky's supermodel cloud is directly self-contained, super-large-scale, and the thick cloud covering small and medium-sized countries helps the locusts withstand many killing moves.
After the large-scale strategic secret technique failed to kill the locusts, the Kushans basically had to lie down and wait for the hammer to hit them. There was no way, they couldn't win, they really couldn't win. Many Han officers and soldiers who had sneaked in from Central Asia and the lower reaches of the Ganges were stunned by such a tragic scene. Damn, this group of locusts is outrageous!
When the Kushan Empire officially began to be beaten by the Locust Sky, the Locust Sky small detachment, that is, the detachment of more than 10 billion people that went north through Central Asia, also arrived at the Zhao territory after eating and drinking all the way.
Unlike the Locust Sky Detachment in later generations that took the northward route and eventually starved to death, most of Central Asia at that time was still rich in grass and water. This was also the reason why the major families were very happy to establish a country here. To be honest, even Xinjiang in later generations still had large forests at that time.
Therefore, the Locust Sky Detachment did not starve to death at all. They swept along the way and quickly reached the Zhao family's territory near the north according to their traditional route.
Like the Three Wangs and Two Cuis, the Zhao family is also a complex. There is no other way. Nowadays, even if a big family wants to establish a fiefdom of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands square kilometers and operate it well, it is not such an easy task. It requires a group of families to join forces.
However, Zhao arrived late and chose a not very good place. It was very close to the Caucasus region. To put it more bluntly, the north is the Caucasus. But this disadvantage turned out to be an advantage in this locust plague. It was far away from the Persian Gulf and had more time to prepare.
Sparks almost flew from his thumbs from snapping his fingers. He killed probably tens of millions of locusts by himself. He snapped his fingers tens of thousands of times, but it was meaningless. There was only one Bai Wang, and even if his son tried hard to learn from him, it would be impossible for him to make the locusts around him fall like rain with just one snap of his fingers.
At the very least, when the locusts came, the Zhao family had already made arrangements for the population, food and fodder in their own territory.
"Lao Liu's running away doesn't solve the problem. Given the scale and combat effectiveness of these locusts, I think they will reach the Turan Plain sooner or later." Bai Wang's face looked very ugly. Bai Wang knew that Lao Liu had run away with his core population, but looking at the current situation of the locust plague, it was useless for Lao Liu to run to Turan. These locusts would sooner or later reach Turan.
"Dad, why don't we just run away like Uncle Six," Bai Qiu suggested. This locust plague was too outrageous, and the locusts were not tasty.
"It's possible." Bai Wang said with a serious expression.
Later, Locust Sky charged forward fearlessly. Bai Wang, the immortal, truly proved what it meant that supernatural powers were inferior to destiny. Even with his innate smelting talent, he could restrain the locusts. With a snap of his fingers, he could kill hundreds of locusts. If he snapped his fingers inside Locust Sky, the dead locusts would fall like rain, but it was meaningless.
To be honest, Bai Wang never realized that his innate power was limited when he was on the battlefield in this life. After all, when he followed Chen Xi to the Ganges and took Chen Xi to circle outside the camp, Bai Wang snapped his fingers all the way, conducting reconnaissance and suppressing possible enemies. He never felt drained like he does now. As a result, when facing Huang Tian this time, Bai Wang was really drained.
Under the curse of natural disasters and world consciousness, Bai Wang was able to maintain the fifth level of smelting and possessed a rare talent. He was undoubtedly a god, but gods also have their limits.
The big problem has been solved. The Zhao family will be more or less unhappy if they don't fight the locusts passing over their heads. After all, there will be losses if they harvest early. Although compared with the three families in the Persian Gulf, Guo Liuyin and the Er Cui, their losses are definitely the smallest, but they will not fight for face. They want to see how terrible the high-level locust plague in East Africa is!
Let me be frank, it's not that the previous family didn't record the secret magic mirror, but the secret magic mirror recorded by the previous family was too exaggerated. The Zhao family can't trust it at all. The secret magic mirror is something that can be faked. Who knows whether you recorded the most densely populated area or the normal area. Anyway, our Zhao family is fine now. Hiding in it proves that I'm a coward. Come on!
"Stop talking nonsense. Who are you looking down on? Your father is not old yet!" Bai Wang replied with a gasp, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers again, but the power this time was far less than when he first faced the locust sky. At the very beginning, Bai Wang could kill hundreds of locusts with a snap of his fingers, and Bai Wang's snap of fingers was almost like creating fire, the frequency was outrageous.
"Dad, I think this locust plague may not only kill Turan, but may bypass the Pamir Mountains and enter Xinzhou." Bai Qiu suddenly spoke after a while. Bai Wang's face darkened when he heard this.
"Dad, can you still hold on?" Bai Qiu leaned half of his body out of the trench and greeted his biological father.
The locust plague's devastation in Central Asia was still within acceptable range for the Han Dynasty, but if the locust plague reached the mainland, it would be really fatal. Moreover, an old farmer like Bai Wang who had eaten the earth knew very well that locust plagues were calculated in cycles. This wave at this point in time could not be the last wave in any way. According to the calculation of waves, the last wave would be the largest-scale locust plague.
"Forget it, Chang'an will handle it. Let's take some time." Bai Wang let out a breath and gave up struggling. He took out a gourd of wine from the locust-covered land, drank two sips, and lit a fire to roast a few large locusts.
"Damn it, after the locust plague, locusts have become unpalatable. This top-quality Boundary Breaking Locust actually tastes bitter." Bai Wang gritted his teeth and swallowed the poisonous Boundary Breaking Locust. "Dad, eat less. This stuff is unpalatable." Bai Qiu sighed.
As old farmers, they also knew that the locusts in the locust plague were poisonous, but they had eaten them when they were in the Central Plains. Besides, they had talent and strong bodies, so they didn't think they would be poisoned to death by eating some locusts. Besides, even if the locusts had low combat effectiveness and could reach the realm-breaking level, they were at least top-quality food, so they could just eat them.
It turned out that this thing was too disgusting. Bai Wang really couldn't stand the bitter taste. If it wasn't for the fact that this was considered as a ration for breaking through the realm and leaving the body, he would never have eaten it a second time.
"You'll end up having diarrhea if you're too full, eat it!" Bai Wang said with a dark face, then he picked it up and started to eat it. However, looking at the other person's face, the bitter taste of this thing must be unbelievable.
After fighting for two days, Zhao realized that he was no match for Locust Tian. He reported a data of killing 30 million locusts and then died. There was really nothing they could do as the number was too large. By the way, half of the 30 million kills were attributed to Bai Wang and Bai Qiu, father and son. Before their talents were exhausted, these two were simply experts in killing insects. Unfortunately, talent is the result of spiritual will interfering with reality. Humans are not machines and cannot withstand being used as animals. In just two days, Bai Wang and Bai Qiu were dead.
At the same time, the Hedong Wei clan, who had been hiding in the Caucasus region, had been blocked by the Er Cui and Yang clan's men. There was no other intention, the Hedong Wei clan had to lend them grain. Now the only region in Central Asia that would not be affected by the disaster was the Caucasus region where the Hedong Wei clan was located.
There is no way. This place has mountains to the north and mountains to the south, blocking both sides. There is also a river inside, which forms a floodplain with the Caspian Sea. It is a place that is truly easy to defend but difficult to attack.
This is also the reason why Ardashir chose this place as its base in the early days. Not to mention the limited development potential and the inability to support a population of several million. This place is definitely a good place to hold back a big move. So after the two Cuis, Wang, Yang, and Wei families joined forces to divide this place up after Ardashir broke away from the Caucasus.
Of course, since this was a conspiracy by the Wei family, the other families took the high-quality population under Ardashir, while the Wei family took Ardashir's old nest.
Of course, a part of the Wu family was divided into two groups and mixed with the Wei family. Theoretically speaking, the Wei family fiefdom in the Caucasus should be called the Wei-Wu joint fiefdom, but the Wu family's focus was not here. This side was just a branch and took the initiative, but the Wei family invested heavily. Although the resources and investment were not as good as those of the Wei family, this fiefdom basically belongs completely to the Wei family now.
Taking into account that the Wu family had helped when the plan was set up and provided a lot of intelligence support, Wei Ji said magnanimously that a piece of the Wei family's fiefdom would always belong to the Wu family. As for what the Wu family thought, the Wu family had no idea at all, as they were just idle chess pieces anyway.
But this time, the outbreak of the locust plague made several large families nearby realize that the Caucasus is a good place for farming, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there will not be catastrophic blows like locust plagues. So the Cui, Yang and Yuan families joined forces to come here to borrow grain.
It's not that the Wei family is unwilling to lend. The land quality in the Caucasus is very good, a completely alluvial plain, which is very suitable for farming. Moreover, in the past few years, Wei Ji's Hedong Wei family has been keeping a low profile and does not want to be noticed. Since the fall of Ardashir, he has been squatting here and concentrating on farming. Naturally, there are food and fodder, but you come here and ask for a sky-high price!
However, Wei Ji had done something as intimidating as taking off Wang Can's father's head and kicking it around like a ball, so he knew very well that if he really refused to lend any money, or even hoarded grain during the famine, his head would be kicked around like a ball by the Central Asian families.
Although this group of people talk a lot about morality, they are ruthless when it comes to taking action.
What's more, this was a genuine natural disaster, and no one had any food to eat, but the Wei family had grain. The two Cuis and Yuan Yang were able to calmly come to the Wei family to borrow grain. To be honest, it was already a courtesy. If they gave it early, everything would be easy later. If they didn't give it now, the subsequent army should have come.
"Master, the master of the Guo family, bring a visiting card to borrow grain." They found a way to send Er Cui and Yuan Yang away. They gave each of them fifty bags of grain to stabilize the situation first, and then let these families pay to purchase the grain. If they don't have money, they will give the technology. If they don't have the technology, they will give it to others. Anyway, the Wei family will accept everything. If they don't make some money now, what's the point of their development? How happy, how happy!
"Ah, that crazy woman is here too. Fuck, that's not right. Aren't there several Cui families and Zhao family between her and us?" When Wei Ji was daydreaming about the future, the housekeeper brought him back to reality. When he heard that it was Guo Zhao, Wei Ji felt a headache.
Wei Ji didn't want to communicate with Dian Po at all, and it was obvious that Dian Po came to buy grain. It's not that he didn't want to sell it to Guo Zhao. The Wei family was opening a business and it didn't matter who they did business with. The problem was that the three families of Guo, Liuyin and others were poor and they relied on the surrounding families to learn their technology. They didn't have any core technology.
As for the crystals of the essence of heaven and earth, they are indeed the core material. The problem is that I can't use that thing to settle the bill. Thirty-six million for one crystal. I'm going to lose a lot of money if I sell my grain like this.
There was no technology that Wei Ji was interested in, and the only material that he liked, if they really sold it at the listed price, Wei would probably suffer huge losses. But Guo Zhao could not use anything to pay the bill, and he had nothing to use as collateral. If they did not let Guo Zhao sell the goods, Guo Zhao would really dare to take action. And not only Guo Zhao dared to do so, the surrounding families might also be waiting for Wei Ji to fall out with the client.
So it’s uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
"Forget it. Give her fifty packages of food and tell her to get out of here. No, no, no, let's be polite. Just say that our Wei family and the Guo, Liuyin and three families are old friends. The current head of the family has fled because of Yuan, Yang and Cui's extortion of food. These fifty packages of food were specially prepared before he left. They are gifts for family friends." Wei Ji thought about it and felt that he could not go to see Guo Zhao. God knows what's going on with that crazy woman.
Guo Zhao looked at the fifty packages of food given by Wei and fell into deep thought. How could the food burst out before she even started to extort? However, since the other party was so polite, Guo Zhao couldn't be too outrageous. She loaded the food into the truck with a smile, and then ran away with the mighty team of 40,000 people. They had to run away quickly before the third wave of locust plague came!
Anyway, we, the three families of Guo Liuyin, are small. The total number of our main family members is less than 300, not counting the naturalized people, and the number of people in the sealed country is less than 50,000. This situation is great!
Run away
