The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

The reason why Liu Bei is so proud is because he has the capital to be proud.

After the fall of Fucheng, Liu Zhang sent Li Yan to supervise the troops at Mianzhu Pass.

Mianzhuguan is the gateway of Chengdu, and its strategic position is very important.

Li Yan was originally a county official in Nanyang County, and he was famous for his talent.After Li Yan abandoned his official position and went to Shu to join Liu Zhang, he served as the county magistrate of Chengdu.

Liu Bei attacked Shu, and Li Yan was promoted by Liu Zhang to guard the army and guard Mianzhu.

Mianzhu, which has crossbows, can be described as impenetrable.

Just when Liu Bei was frowning, Fazheng proposed to recruit Li Yan.

This was originally a matter with a very low success rate, but unexpectedly it made Fa Zheng a success!

It turned out that Li Yan and Wang Lei were in the same camp, and they strongly opposed inviting Liu Bei to Shu.

Later, when Wang Lei died and remonstrated, Liu Zhang was indifferent, and Li Yan felt a little tired.

Faced with Fazheng's clever tongue, Li Yan agreed!

Liu Zhang literally vomited blood. He sent Li Yan to Mianzhu to defend against Liu Bei, but he surrendered directly and welcomed Liu Bei into the city.

How could Liu Bei be unhappy?

Not only that, Liu Bei also sent Zhang Fei to attack Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou defender Yan Yan struggled to support him.

The situation is great!

That's why Liu Bei was so arrogant, and he said to everyone: "It's thanks to the food supported by the Marquis of Dongyang, otherwise our army wouldn't be able to last so long."

This is just an excuse for Liu Bei to comfort himself, after all, he spent a full 100 million gold.

100 million gold!

Almost all of Liu Bei's savings.

Fortunately, the war was developing in Liu Bei's favor, and the money was not wasted.

The scale of the war in Yizhou continued to expand, and battle reports were continuously sent to Liu Ke's case.

Although Liu Ke had expected it a long time ago, Liu Ke really didn't know what to say to Liu Zhang.

Obviously there are resources and popularity, but they often mess up everything.

"It seems that Yizhou is really as the lord said, Liu Bei is going to win." Guo Jia said, "It depends on whether Liu Zhang can make good use of the defense of Chengdu and deal a heavy blow to Liu Bei's army, so there are still some chances to come back."

"I really want to be like this." Liu Ke said.

"Liu Zhang won't be so unbearable, right?" Guo Jia said, emptying out Yizhou and buying so much armament...

Neither seem to be working.

"Send Liu Zhang a VIP card." Liu Ke said, "Since he spent so much money, we must give him some protection."

"What is a VIP card?" Guo Jia asked.

"After Liu Zhang's defeat, he can come to Yangzhou to settle down," Liu Ke said.

"I'm afraid Liu Bei won't agree, right? In this way, wouldn't it give us an excuse to attack Yizhou?" Guo Jia said.

"I can deal with him without excuses, it depends on how he behaves." Liu Ke said.

"Okay." Guo Jia said.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ke's VIP card saved Liu Zhang's life, but also accelerated Liu Zhang's failure.

Because this guy is like a salted fish after he has a way out...

Within a few days of the stable life, Liu Ke received an urgent [-]-mile package from Jizhou.

"My lord, it's not good. There are already signs of a locust plague in Jizhou." Lu Su said.

"Tell me in detail." Liu Ke said with concern. It was his first time encountering such a disaster, and he had absolutely no experience in dealing with it.

"Currently the hardest-hit area is still in Bingzhou, Changwen sent scouts to investigate, and they gradually migrated to Jizhou.

When the locusts came, it was like a storm, and half the sky was dark, like dark clouds covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Once a person stood in the locust pile, his body was covered with insects in a short while, as if wearing a hard and thick armor. " Lu Su said.

This kind of disaster is really terrible.In Yangzhou's official documents, exaggeration is absolutely not allowed, otherwise it will be severely punished.

From the memorial, Liu Ke could see that Chen Qun was struggling when reporting.

"The long article gathers the experience of old farmers in various counties. The locust plague may occur within half a month. So far, locust cubs have been found and are about to emerge, and the number is gradually increasing." Lu Su said.

"I have already called Changwen's attention, isn't there any measure?" Liu Ke said.

"Changwen still took some measures." Lu Su explained.

The ancient method is generally to dig trenches and fill them.

At the suggestion of the old farmer, Chen Qun dug a deep ditch on both sides of the field, and then drove the locusts from one end of the field to the other, and quickly buried them in the ditch.

Although this stupid method can eliminate a certain number of locusts, it is still somewhat powerless for large-scale locust plagues.

Although locusts are afraid of fire, it is impossible to use them on a large scale.
