They understand that it is difficult for them to survive this drought when they have neither money nor food surplus.

Therefore, at this time, they are already in a mess.

They ran to their own fields again and again, hoping that the drought was fake.

However, No. 20 days have passed, and there is still no rain in Zhao Guo.

No.20 Five days have passed, and there is still no rain in Zhao Guo.

At the same time, the food in their fields was completely withered.

Although there is no complete ***, the situation is almost the same. .

As soon as this happened, the people of Zhao State were in despair.

They sat slumped in the field, looking up at the sky, the light in their eyes lost.

Many of them sat paralyzed until dark before going back.

After returning, they saw their wives and children, and they came back to their senses.

They understand that now is not the time for them to be discouraged, otherwise, not only they would starve to death, but also their wives and children.

So, he made a decision right away.

"Tomorrow we will take out all our savings and buy food!!"

"Buying grain?? Is it true that our country of Zhao is going to have a drought??"

"I've already checked the crops. Even if it rains now, our crops won't be able to survive, and there won't be much food left, so we have only one way to buy food!!"

"Okay, then let's go buy food tomorrow!"

Hearing what her husband said, his wife immediately supported him to buy grain.

After a hard night, they went to buy food early the next morning.

It was only after they arrived at the grain store that they realized that the grain store was already overcrowded.

A large number of people are scrambling to buy grain outside the grain store.

The price of food has also doubled several times.

But even so, before it was their turn to buy grain, the grain was already sold out.

Afterwards, those grain merchants directly closed the door of the grain store in front of them.

This time, the people were all boiling.

"Why did you close the door suddenly? Why did you close the door! We have money, and we need to buy food!!"

"Don't close the door! We haven't bought food yet, we're still outside!!"

"Don't close the door, we have money, we are willing to pay a high price for food, we are willing to pay a high price!!"

At this time, many people shouted that they were willing to pay a high price to buy grain. They hoped that the grain merchants would open their doors and continue to sell them grain.

However, those grain merchants still firmly closed their shop doors.

"It's not that we don't want to sell food to you, it's that we don't have food anymore, and we won't even have food in the next few days!!"

"If you really want to buy grain, then go to the big city to buy grain. There is no more grain left in our small town!!"

As soon as such words came out, the people became even more desperate.

They seem to have seen the tragic scene of them fleeing to various places.

But at this time they still did not escape, because they still had land.

Among those big cities, there were only a small number of people who had fled from famine.

However, five days later, the situation is completely different.

It's hot summer now, and five days of sun exposure directly killed all the grain seeds in their fields.

It was just dry before, but now it's all dry.

That grain seed, like withered grass, was like a heavy hammer, hammering heavily on the hearts of the people of Zhao State, hammering out all the hopes in their hearts.

If the grain seed is still alive, they may still have a little hope.

But now, all the grain they planted has dried up, which also means that all their hopes are shattered.

They didn't hesitate anymore, and started fleeing directly.

Most of the people fleeing famine, naturally fled to Handan, the capital of King Zhao.

After all, their king is in Handan, and so many high-ranking officials and nobles are in Handan, so they shouldn't refuse to save them.

However, there were also quite a few people flocking to the border of Zhao State.

They know that there is no drought in Qin State, and at the same time, Qin State also built a Zhengguo Canal.

It is because of this huge water conservancy project that Qin Guozhong has had a bumper harvest this year.

If they entered the state of Qin, they would definitely have a way out.

Therefore, many of them wanted to sneak away from Zhao State and go to Qin State.

Such an escape naturally attracted Li Mu's attention.

"General, the situation on the border seems to be a bit wrong, a large number of people are heading towards Qin!!"

"A large number of people are heading towards Qin? Why??"

"They, they all went to Qin to escape the famine. The drought in our Zhao country is too severe. The people basically have no crops and no food to eat!!"

"What? The drought in our country of Zhao has become so serious??"

Li Mu knew that Zhao Guo really had a drought like Ye Tian said, but he had been staying in the army and had no way to go out.

Therefore, he does not know the specific situation of the drought.

Now that he heard such words, he immediately understood that the people of Zhao State were already in dire straits.

Otherwise, those common people would not have left their homes and fled Zhao.

"Then Ye Tian still has a magic trick? How did he know that there will be a drought in our country of Zhao??"

Now that Ye Tian's words have been confirmed, thinking that Ye Tian had already predicted Zhao's drought two months ago, Li Mu suddenly panicked.

On Ye Tian's body, he seemed to feel an unknown power.

This also made him feel more and more that Ye Tian, ​​a formidable enemy, was difficult to deal with.

It's not just Li Mu who has such thoughts, many people in Zhao country are full of surprise and doubts about Ye Tian's guess.

They really wanted to know how Ye Tian did it.

But now the state of Zhao is in chaos. Countless people fled from their original places and began to flee to the big cities.

Even in some places, there have been cases of changing children and eating them.

They didn't even care about how Ye Tian managed to do this.

Many of them felt that the entire Zhao country was in dire straits.

They must solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise, Zhao Guo will be in serious trouble.

Chapter 127: Mr. Wu An must have a way to save us

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Many people in our country of Zhao have fled to the country of Qin!!"

"What? The people of our country of Zhao have fled to the country of Qin? How is this possible??"

"It's true! Drought has occurred in many places in our Zhao country. The people have no crops. They feel that they can't survive, so they fled to Qin country to find a way to survive!!"

"Not only that, those Qin people also took the initiative to accept them and prepared food and shelter for them. After they went, they never came back!!"

Hearing such words, King Zhao's expression changed immediately.

The fleeing of the people from the state of Zhao will not only reduce the number of people in the state of Zhao, but also make it appear that he, the King of Zhao, is incompetent.

He can't even keep his own people, so is he worthy of being a qualified king?

So, after hearing the news, he spoke immediately.

"Take out the food we prepared before, and keep the people of our country of Zhao!!"

"Your Majesty, the food is not enough! There are also a large number of refugees outside our Handan City. Those people also need food, and they need to be settled!!"

"There are also refugees outside Handan City? How many refugees are there now??"

"Currently there are at least [-], and the number of them is increasing rapidly!!"

"fifty thousand??"

Hearing such numbers, Zhao Wang had a headache.

He knows that [-] is just the beginning, and after a few days, the number of refugees outside Handan City may reach more than [-].

With so many refugees in need of appeasement, the food they prepared was indeed not enough.

They couldn't appease the people in Handan City, and the people on the border of Zhao State even talked nonsense. .five

But even so, King Zhao didn't want the people of Zhao to become the people of Qin.

Therefore, he felt ruthless in his heart, and then said:

"Order to go on, send our army to stop those people, and never let them leave our country of Zhao!!"

"Since they are the people of our Zhao country, they should stay in our Zhao country forever!!"

"Also, go buy more food, we need more food!!"

"Yes!!"

King Zhao's order did not have much impact on the people in Handan City and other big cities.

Many of these refugees can even have a bite of porridge.

But for the people on the border, it was a disaster.

They want to escape from Zhao State and go to Qin State to find a way out, but the soldiers on the border simply don't give them this chance.

Many people were forcibly taken back to the state of Zhao and starved.

Those who didn't want to go back were killed on the spot on the way back.

Although in this matter, Qin State sent troops, they sent a large number of troops to meet those people.

However, the behavior of the soldiers of Zhao State still suppressed many people, and made many people dare not flee Zhao State at will.

Many people feel that they are restricted.

Such restrictions are undoubtedly fatal to them.

Many of them felt that fleeing from Zhao to Qin was their only way to survive.

Now they have no way to escape from Zhao State, and they have no way to go to Qin State.

For them, this is driving them to a dead end.

At this time, many people even wailed in despair.

"It's over, we're over, we have no way out, we're going to starve to death here!!"

"Woo! God, why are you treating me like this, why don't you give me a way out!!"

"I just want to live, I just want to live! Is this too much to ask? Why can't you let me live!!"

These common people were wailing crazily. Their request was actually very simple, they just wanted to survive.

Such things are just basic needs for people.

But for them now, it is very difficult.

Seeing a large number of soldiers haunting the border of Zhao State, many of them seemed to have lost their souls.

No hope in sight, despair to the point of coldness.

Many people have lost their way about this and can only starve.

Whether he can survive or not depends entirely on God's will.
