After all, Xu Huang has no grievances or enmities with them, and if he can save them easily and sell favors, why not do it.

Lu Bu frowned, anger was part of the reason, losing tens of thousands of soldiers would make anyone feel distressed.On the other hand, because Xia Houyuan was caught off guard, no one thought that Xia Houyuan, who was far away in Bo County, would rush to help Juyang not far away.

No wonder Cao Cao was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai when he learned that Juyang was in trouble. It turned out that he had planned it long ago.

Lu Bu glanced at the generals begging for mercy, then at Xu Huang who was kneeling on the ground in fear, and said in a deep voice: "You swore to me before, but now Juyang not only failed to win, but also lost countless soldiers. I should have Punish you heavily, but since everyone pleaded for you, and because of your outstanding achievements in the past, I will forgive you this time, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living penalty cannot be escaped."

Lu Bu's voice was loud, if Xu Huang is not punished today, how will he manage the army in the future.

"Summon all the battalions to fight against Kou Xiaowei Xu Huang. He failed in the battle and caused a large number of casualties in our army. They will be demoted to two ranks and retained, and fined forty army sticks."

When Lu Bu made the punishment, Xu Huang, who was kneeling on the ground, replied gratefully: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

Afterwards, Xu Huang stood up, and followed the soldiers who entered the tent, and walked out of the tent.

The forty army sticks were finally finished under the watchful eyes of many soldiers.

Xu Huang, who was walking out, was carried into the tent, his buttocks were like a puddle of soft mud, and he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed in ten and a half months.

During the punishment, Xu Huang was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he just tried not to cry out the pain.

For this, the soldiers all respect him as a man.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Huang Zhong asked with his fists clasped.

The plan to capture Juyang failed, so naturally everything had to be re-arranged.

If the remote trails are impassable, you can only meet the mountains and open the mountains, and the water will be cut off.

"How many soldiers and horses do we have?" Lu Bu sat back in his seat and asked.

"Reporting to my lord, including those brought back by General Xu, there are still about 7000 people in total."

Lu Bu made some calculations in his mind, Dingtao had about [-] soldiers and horses, and with Cao Cao personally in charge, with Lu Bu's current strength, if he forcibly attacked the city, his chances of winning were five to five.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

Lu Bu didn't want to continue to consume with Cao Cao, or he would not fight, and if he wanted to fight, he would try to eat him in one go!

"Ling, Zhang Yang, Governor of Shangdang County, Wei Kei, Governor of Hedong County, Wang Kuang, Governor of Hanoi County, Du Ji, Ling Du of Luoyang, and Wu Zhi, Prime Minister of Chen Guo, within one month, gather together [-] soldiers and horses, and transport them to Chenliu! "

Nearly [-] soldiers and horses attacked the city, and the odds of winning were at least [-]%.

Hearing Lu Bu's order, Pang Ji had a troubled expression on his face: "Master, other places are fine, but that Chen Guoxiang belongs to Yuzhou, and it seems that he is not under our command..."

Lu Bu waved his hand at this directly: "Send someone to tell him that if he refuses to send troops, after I deal with Cao Cao, he will be the next one to be attacked."

This is the way of the world. It may not be possible to speak well, but if you have a big fist, you will definitely be able to do it.

Lu Bu's order was quickly conveyed, leading to the various places mentioned.

Cao Cao in Dingtao City began to fidget when he learned that Lu Bu was raising troops. If Lu Bu were to gather his troops, then his Dingtao City would be extremely dangerous.

That night, Cao Cao sent a letter to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. He sent a letter to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and stated that the number one enemy to deal with should be the ambitious Lu Bu.

Once Lu Bu devours Yanzhou, the next turn will most likely be Jizhou and Youzhou where the two of them are located.

Cao Cao is actually not very sure whether he can persuade these two to join forces to fight against the enemy.It would be best if Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan could let go of their prejudices, but if not, then Cao Cao could only rely on Cao Cao to resist Lu Bu's anger from the front.

During this period, Cao Cao repeatedly sent people to attack Lu Buliang Road, but failed in the end.

One month later, [-] soldiers gathered from various places finally arrived in Xinshui.

Chen Guoxiang Wu Zhi refused at first, but after hearing Lu Bu's threat, he immediately changed his tone and chose to cooperate decisively and honestly.

Yuan Shu's [-] troops were defeated by Lu Bu, not to mention his mere land of the Marquis.

With [-] soldiers, the capture of Dingtao was almost certain, and Lu Bu climbed up to the high platform built in the camp full of ambition.

Just as Lu Bu was about to mobilize before the battle, at this moment, something seemed to fall on his face.

Lu Bu stretched out his palm and pressed it with his thumb. He took it off and saw that it was a small thing with six slender legs, thin wings on its back, two tentacles on the top of its head, and eyes like small green lanterns.

Lu Bu saw this kind of insect in the fields when he was a child. The common name is grasshopper, also known as migratory locust.The staple foods are wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit trees, leaves, tender stems, flower buds and tender fruits of weeds, etc., which can be said to be a complete disaster.

"Look over there!"

A soldier seemed to have discovered something terrible, and shouted in horror.

Lu Bu looked up, and the mid-air was full of densely packed locusts, so many that they almost covered the sky above his head.

A heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Chapter 666 Thank you for your support along the way

In the fourth year of Chuping, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and swarms of migratory locusts covered the sky and the sun, eroding the crops in the fields of the people.

Countless people wailed for it, and there were many weeping people.

In this world where people are worse than dogs, how can they live without food!

At the critical moment, instead of offering relief, the Guanzhong family took advantage of this opportunity to annex the people's land at an extremely low price, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced.

During this period, a large number of refugees flocked to Chang'an, and many people occupied the hills and fell into the grass as bandits, looting the neighbors.

For a while, Guanzhong was in turmoil.

On the way of exile, someone stood on a high stone and shouted loudly to the weary people.

"The troubles of my generation were all because of the anger of the heavens. The reason is that there are traitors and sycophants who rebelled against the country! At that time, the Shichang servants made troubles, and there were also severe droughts for years, which caused the fields to fail. .”

"Right now, the traitor minister Lu Bu is so rejoicing that he abused the young prince. The gods sent down divine punishment, and made the migratory locusts act as God's envoys to impose punishment on us. Everything is Lu Bu's fault!"

Following the person's indignant statement, more and more refugees gathered around.

During the period, someone deliberately echoed in the crowd and aroused hatred: "That's right, why should we accept punishment for Lu Bu's mistakes?"

"We're gnawing on the bark here, and they might still be eating delicacies from mountains and seas. How can we care about our lives?"

"Both left and right are dead, it is better to simply reverse!"

"Inverted!"

"Inverted!"

The people were outraged.

Scenes similar to this one are constantly being staged in various parts of Guanzhong.
