As the level of contact increases, over time, Xi Xi discovers that there is a high mountain in front of him, which repeatedly blocks his way.

The daughter is married to the emperor, so he is considered half the head of the country anyway, but he often acts according to Lu Bu's winks, why!

Xi Ji was unwilling, he thought that as long as he could get rid of Lu Bu, he would be able to win the trust of the emperor, and it might not be impossible to replace him.

Once this idea breeds, it will grow uncontrollably.

Now that the Son of Heaven has the idea of ​​moving Lu Bu, of course Xi Ji will not let it go, and took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, just rest assured, I will have my servants to help you in everything. Even if you fail, it will never implicate Your Majesty."

Hearing these words, Liu Xie hesitated in his heart, wondering if he should stop this father-in-law who was blinded by all his strength.

Before Liu Xie could figure it out, Xi Ji cupped his hands first: "Minister, please leave."

…………

The scorching sun in July is like fire, and Lu Bu's mood at the moment is probably the same.

Seeing that the siege of the city was imminent, there was news of severe drought and countless famines in Guanzhong.

Although Guanzhong has drama strategies and Chen Gong sits in Chang'an, they are not figures in the court after all. When dealing with many things, it is inevitable that they will be a little bit tied and unable to do anything.

In desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to return to the court and stabilize Guanzhong.

After finally capturing Chen Liu, he also had to choose to give up for the time being.

Furious, Lu Bu retreated from Chenliu to Hulao Pass, then went west from Hulao Pass, and entered Hangu Pass via Luoyang.

After passing the Hangu Pass, it is the land of Guanzhong.

Along the way, Lu Bu saw many refugees, wearing short clothes, bare arms, and sloppy hair lying on the side of the road, listless, as if they were about to be exposed to the scorching sun.

Lu Bu ordered some food to be distributed among the refugees.

However, because of Lu Bu's charity, more and more refugees came, and even directly grabbed them.

The Chongqi Battalion responsible for maintaining order drew out their swords and killed dozens of looting refugees on the spot, which stabilized the situation.

The food that was distributed was nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst, and it could not solve the problem at all.

"General, please do me a favor, please do me a favor, save my child, save my child!"

A woman who didn't get any food rushed to Lu Bu desperately, holding a frail boy in her arms.The woman knelt on the ground, begging bitterly.

Looking at the boy sleeping soundly in the woman's arms, Lu Bu was moved by the mother's behavior. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his two cubs. They haven't seen each other for two or three years. They must have grown a lot taller.

"Give her some food."

Lu Bu gave an order, and immediately a soldier came over with a small bag of rations and handed it to the woman.

The woman took the food tremblingly, teardrops burst out of her eyes instantly, and she knelt hard on her head, grateful: "Thank you, General, thank you, General, the women are like cows and horses in this life, and I can't repay your kindness..."

"General, save us, save our children!" Seeing that the woman's method worked, the victims also knelt on the ground and asked Lu Bu to distribute some food.

"My lord, we are running out of food." Seeing that Lu Bu still wanted to release food, Pang Ji reminded him.

The parted lips moved, but nothing came out after all.

Lu Bu got back on his horse, made up his mind, and said "Let's go".

Tens of thousands of soldiers who were resting returned to the team one after another, marching forward with heavy steps.

Only the refugees who knelt on the ground were left, begging to kneel on the spot and shouting, only hoping that Lu Bu could change his original intention.

Lu Bu didn't look back, he knew that he couldn't save these refugees now.

Many of them are destined not to survive this summer.

Perhaps, this is life.

On the way, I passed a field.

Lu Bu vaguely remembered that when he set off, the place was still lush and full of life.

Today, the leaves are yellow and full of scars.

The old farmers sat in a daze on the ridge of the field. The locusts plundered and devoured the field, and the rustling sound seemed to announce their victory.

I have been busy with spring plowing and sowing since early spring, looking forward to a good harvest in autumn.

Who would have thought that several months of severe drought without any drop of water, coupled with the sudden locust plague, would destroy all the hard work this year.

The old farmers obviously noticed the arrival of the army, and all got up from the edge of the field, avoiding it in awe, lowering their heads, not daring to look up.

Looking at these simple old peasants at the lowest level, the anger in Lu Bu's heart gradually turned to sympathy.

"Why didn't you catch these locusts that caused disaster?" Lu Bulema stopped in the road and asked these old farmers.

Hearing Lu Bu's words, the expressions of the old peasants suddenly became extremely nervous, and they waved their hands in panic: "These are all gods in the sky, they cannot be killed!"

Don't say kill, don't even dare to think about it.

Otherwise, the heavens will be angered and more punishments will be imposed.

People at that time were full of reverence for the gods in the sky.

I would rather suffer myself than blaspheme the gods.

At this time, a locust the size of a thumb jumped onto the back of Lu Bu's hand.

Lu Bu twisted it up, as if he was going to crush it to ashes.

"General, you can't kill, you can't kill, General!"

Seeing this, the old peasants knelt down anxiously and shouted loudly, begging Lu Bu to be merciful and not to kill the locust.

If the gods get angry because of this, there will be a severe drought year after year, how will they live in the future!

There were bloodstains on the foreheads of the old peasants, and Lu Bu finally couldn't bear it.

Let go of your hand, watching the grasshopper jump and fly away from the palm of your hand.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After passing the Hangu Pass, it is the jurisdiction of Guanzhong Hongnong County.

Lv Bu inspected along the way, and found that the local people were suffering unspeakably. This year, they suffered severe drought and locust plagues. They had no food harvest, and lived by digging wild vegetables and grass roots. Their lives were extremely difficult.And what about the imperial court?At this juncture, not only did not reduce the burden and provide relief, but intensified the collection of taxes, causing a large number of people to sell their land and become displaced.

If this continues, the people will be forced to death by the court before they starve to death!
