So, subconsciously, they choose to believe.

"What should I do!" Xu Shu paced back and forth with a worried expression on his face.

Xun You also clapped his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face.

The locust plague is really terrible.

For unknown reasons, the locust plague in the Eastern Han Dynasty was much more surprising.

And the three of them have also seen the horror of the locust plague.

Wherever it went, the people were displaced.

Those kinds of scenes, as long as you experience them once, you don't want to have the same experience again.

But, they suddenly found out.

Even if they found that the locust plague was coming, they had no choice but to wait quietly.

However, Guo Jia keenly discovered the problem.

he wondered.

"My lord, does this plague of locusts have anything to do with what you said about dispatching troops as soon as possible?".

Chapter 294

Wang Xu nodded solemnly.

"This king has a secret method, which can prevent locust plagues from happening in the places under this king's command."

Guo Jia and the others stared blankly at Wang Xu.

The way to fight against the locust plague is actually the secret method of the lord?

However, the plague of locusts is so terrifying, and only immortal methods can deal with it.

Only now did they fully understand what Wang Xu was thinking.

It is only necessary to bring Xuzhou and Yanzhou under the command, and the locust plague will disappear invisible.

Naturally, the human tragedy that may occur in the locust plague was also avoided.

They all bowed deeply to Wang Xu and said.

"My lord, this subordinate is willing to die for my lord!"

"During the past few months, bring Yanzhou and Xuzhou under your command to prevent locust plagues from happening!"

Wang Xu nodded solemnly.

Wang Xu's order was passed on.

Preparations for war are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

Yanzhou.

Cao Cao stood in the courtyard, looking at the scenery outside.

Xun Yu stepped forward.

He bowed his hand towards Cao Cao.

"Master, why don't you wear winter clothes?"

"It's such a warm weather, what kind of winter clothes are you wearing?"

As Cao Cao said, he opened his hands and let the cold wind hit him.

"Speaking of which, the weather this year is really too warm."

"That's fine!" Xun Yu nodded and smiled.

"At least, the common people will not suffer from the cold."

Cao Cao thought so.

"exactly."

"The sergeants will not suffer from the cold."

Immediately, he changed the subject.

"Wen Ruo, what do you want me to do?"

Xun Yu cupped his hands towards Cao Cao.

"My lord, good news, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandit has agreed to our request."

"Really?" Cao Cao couldn't help being ecstatic.

"They promised, when will they vote for us?"

"Just within this month." Xun Yu reported.

"So fast?"

Cao Cao said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Previously, Zhou Xuan hadn't made any progress for more than half a year. Why did he suddenly make such a big progress?"

"In my opinion, it's mostly because it's the middle of winter, and the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are short of food."

"From Qingzhou to Yanzhou, there are mostly mountain roads. The mountain roads are rugged, and it is extremely difficult to transport grain."

"But now in winter, it is even more difficult to transport food."

"It's also because of this reason that the Yellow Turban thief wants to come to Qingzhou."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and murmured.

"I guess it's because of that."

Xun Yu bowed to Cao Cao again.

"My lord, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandit has a request."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's normal for them to have requests. Wen Ruo, you might as well just say it."

Xun Yu sighed softly.

"They asked us to provide thirty thousand shi of grain."

Cao Cao's hand stopped.

A few beards were pulled out.

He usually cherishes his beard very much.

Even if one is lost, it is quite heartbreaking.

But now, Cao Cao didn't seem to feel it, he just frowned.

"Thirty thousand stones of grain, so much?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly.

"This is the result of my dealings with them."

"It turns out they asked for [-] shi."

Looking at Xun Yu with a wry smile on his face, Cao Cao sighed.

"It's understandable that they want food."

"After all, there are a total of one million yellow scarf thieves in Qingzhou. If it is distributed to everyone, the number is actually not too much."

Cao Cao frowned deeply.

"It's just that our food is already tight."

"Where can I find the thirty thousand shi grains?"

Xun Yu smiled helplessly.

"If it doesn't work, we can only borrow food from the family again."

Cao Cao's face twitched.

Borrow food from the family!

It's not the first time he's done it.

But this is really too difficult.

Last time, he came forward in person and borrowed it from family to family.

Even so, it only borrowed [-] shi of grain.

"' Or, forget it." Xun Yu frowned.

"No!" Cao Cao raised his right hand, resolutely vetoing it.

"The Yellow Turban Thief in Qingzhou, I, Cao Cao, will definitely win!"

"As long as I take the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Bandits under my command, then I will have millions of people."

"Even if most of these people are old, weak, women and children, no matter how bad it is, there will be 30 to [-] young and strong."

Cao Cao said in high spirits.

"With these 30 to [-] young men, I, Cao Cao, don't have to be afraid of King Ming anymore."

"At that time, after I go south to Xuzhou, I can gather all my troops and put King Ming under my feet."

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Xun Yudao.

"Wen Ruo, do you know (Qian Dezhao) why I must march against King Ming?"

Xun Yu shook his head.

This is also the doubt in his heart.

However, in his mind, it was mostly due to Cao Cao's ambition.

This is a good thing for them.

But Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"I suspect that what happened to the Wei family before was done by King Ming."

"What?" Xun Yu couldn't help being taken aback.

The food case of the Wei family has always been quite strange.

Every time they got halfway, the food would disappear.

Originally, they had been focusing on the remnant of the Baibo thief, the Black Mountain thief.

But now, why did Cao Cao suspect King Ming?

He bowed his hand towards Cao Cao.

"Appreciate further details.".

Chapter 295

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and his speech slowed down a bit.

"The reason why I suspect King Ming is because there are really too many troops under King Ming's command."

"According to reports from spies, King Ming has [-] elite soldiers under his command."

"Moreover, these soldiers and horses are all the elite of the elite."

"Just ask, King Ming, where did he get so much food to support these one hundred thousand soldiers and horses?"
