Chapter 6551 Watch Me Defeat Him!

There is no way. When Lu Su just fell, Lu Su's work was divided among Chen Xi, Li You, Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Wan. Li You was assigned to a part of Lu Su's work on selecting bureaucrats. Li You's original position was to be the Imperial Censor, who had the responsibility of supervising and impeaching all officials. ??? ?９??????.??м ???

To be honest, it is a bit deadly to have the responsibility of selecting officials, supervising, and impeaching all officials on one person. But at that time, this responsibility should be given to Chen Xi, Li You, or Zhuge Liang. It can't be given directly to Jiang Wan. Even if it is a promotion, it is not promoted in this way.

However, Chen Xi cannot take this responsibility. Once this responsibility falls into Chen Xi's hands, it is difficult to separate it, because at the beginning, Chen Xi was responsible for selecting officials, which means that it was separated from Chen Xi. If it is given to Zhuge Liang, there is a possibility that Zhuge Liang will directly shoulder Lu Su's responsibility, which is a bit too difficult for Zhuge Liang.

So in the end, he had to bite the bullet and hand over this responsibility to Li You. Although this set of rules fell into Li You's hands, Li You could become a powerful official after playing around, but in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei and Chen Xi had not fallen. Even if Li You took control, it would take more than ten years to shake Chen Xi head-on.

But this kind of thing can't last long, otherwise it will be a big trouble in the history books, so after the mid-year assessment this year, Li You handed over the entire responsibility equivalent to the Minister of Personnel in later generations to Zhuge Liang, and his authority returned to the original Yushi Zhongcheng to do the things of the Yushi Doctor.

Without the authority equivalent to the Minister of Personnel, it is not as easy for Li You to deal with bureaucrats at the level of two thousand stones as before. At least he can't hold it in his hands and crush it easily like before. At least he has to discuss it. In the past, he could crush someone directly. Li You could do it. Holding power is no joke.

"It's not that weird, no matter how outrageous the East African locust plague is, it's impossible for it to rush to our homeland in the second wave. Even if Xinzhou is a newly naturalized territory, it has actually been ruled by us for hundreds of years. It's not that unlucky." Chen Xi said with some worry.

Although it is logical that the East African locusts are not so exaggerated, people always have to consider the worst possibility. What if they are really East African locusts? It's the end. You know, this is only the second wave.

"Let's send someone to investigate and confirm it first." Zhuge Liang said very seriously. After all, since the outbreak of the East African locust plague, Zhuge Liang has received a lot of urgent reports from Central Asia. Many noble families have been hammered to doubt their lives. In theory, it is not impossible for the locust plague to rush all the way to Xinzhou.

After all, Zhuge Liang is not punished by the experience of later generations. He is discussing this matter purely based on the official documents reported. According to the official documents, the locusts' sweeping route is reasonable, sweeping all the way to Xinzhou, but the loss is really uncomfortable.

"Well, I hope it's just local locusts, and then Zhi Boda will be blamed for negligence." Chen Xi looked like he was praying, and Li You couldn't help but glance at Chen Xi when he heard this. It was the middle of the year recently, and there were more things to do. Chen Xi gathered the top leaders of the government together again, so when he said this, the guys around him were speechless.

"I think you should be prepared. The gray geese in Zangzhou and the white geese in Bingzhou should be transferred to Xinzhou as soon as possible." Fa Zheng flipped through the official documents and said casually.

In Fa Zheng's opinion, the current situation is most likely that the East African locust plague has rushed over, but the lifespan of locusts is limited, and they may not have much combat power by now. However, this wave is only the second wave. If the third wave breaks out, the number will only be larger, and there will be more people coming to Xinzhou, so it is better to prepare early. While the third wave is brewing in East Africa, quickly mobilize troops.

"Can't you think of something better? Can't it be a local locust outbreak?" Chen Xi struggled to say. He actually realized the possibility, but he is now struggling to death.

The climate of the third century and the twenty-first century is very different. In the third century, Central Asia was still a pasture with lush grass and water, most of the Turan Plain was still fertile land that could be cultivated, and the Aral Sea was still that huge water surface of tens of thousands of square kilometers. The small team heading north during the locust day at least had food to eat and would not starve to death.

In terms of distance, for the locust sky squad that takes the northern route to Xinzhou, the distance is actually not much different from that of the southern route to the Indus River-Ganges River. Because it is flying, there are few obstacles and it is basically a straight line. The distance of two thousand kilometers more is only about ten days for the super East African locust plague, even if it is not the enhanced version of the heaven and earth essence. As for the enhanced version of the heaven and earth essence, it will take even less time.

So after receiving the news that the Yang family was eaten up, Fa Zheng thought that the Han Dynasty could not escape this beating, but even if Xinzhou was eaten up, given the current situation of the Han Dynasty, as long as the rescue is timely, there will be no loss. After all, humiliating Sima Lang is just the habit of the government, and Sima Lang's ability is still no problem. In recent years, except for trafficking in human beings when he was in power, he has been conscientious at other times.

"That's my opinion, Zichuan, don't struggle, you know everything yourself, why are you struggling." Man Chong glanced at Chen Xi and said, "Quickly mobilize the big geese in Zangzhou and Bingzhou to build a line of defense in Xinzhou to prevent the third wave of locust plague from penetrating into the mainland."

"It really broke out. Even if there are millions of geese on top, I think it will be useless." Chen Xi said angrily. He also had a good mind, he was just struggling to death, because he had never seen East Africa. The local people who suffered from the locust plague are still stuck in their previous impressions of the locust plague.

In the impression of this group of people, locusts are still small gadgets weighing only a few grams. In fact, the size of super locusts can be said to have increased dramatically, increased dramatically, and increased to dozens of grams or hundreds of grams.

In addition, the locust plague that this group of people know is still only on the scale of a few hundred million. Even if some aristocratic families from Central Asia cried out and presented the recently recorded and broadcast information, this group of people still think that a locust plague of this scale should be With this understanding of the extreme level, in fact, the second wave of locusts put together may not be as good as a small team of the third wave of locusts.

If the second wave of locust plague can bring billions to Central Asia, then the third wave can bring tens of billions to Central Asia at least.

Chen Xi was a little confused when he thought that the Han Dynasty might have to enjoy the treatment of Kushan. This was too outrageous. Fortunately, Han Dynasty Xinzhou was only an ordinary grain-producing area. After all, even if the climate is very good now, Xinzhou There was still green grass along the prefecture, but Chen Xi instinctively did not place the grain-producing land there, but used it as a passage to go abroad.

"Forget it, let's do our best to obey fate." Chen Xi said helplessly. That's it. What else can I say? Of course, just do what you like. Anyway, locusts have a limited life span, and they don't have much time to rush to Xinzhou. When they arrive, It's time to let the locust sky go free. All the edible green on the surface will be eaten away. The underground granary that Chen Xi has been promoting for so many years is no joke.

"Don't give up like that." Liu Yan said with some dissatisfaction after hearing this, "It's just a locust plague. Who are you looking down on? You're passing through Xinzhou, right? I happen to be going to Xinzhou recently. Then I will mobilize local people to control the locusts myself. It's destiny." ? Shouldn’t this kind of thing be trusted based on the situation?”

After hearing this, Chen Xi looked at Liu Yan who was full of confidence and felt that the other party was interested. As a veteran, it was necessary to support him. He began to write a temporary dispatch document on the spot. After writing it, he stamped it and handed it to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang read it twice. Eyes, and then looked at Chen Xi, the eyes were like saying Chen Xi, there is something wrong with you, right? What do you mean by the full support of Xinzhou, Zangzhou, Yongliang Sili, Bingzhou and other northwest states? You should be fighting an imperial war, right? !

With the full support of these states, even in the war of empires, we can fight for a long time without even falling behind. In the end, you use it to ward off the locust plague.

"After all, Wei Shuo personally takes action, and the authority must be given enough." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, anyway, the locust plague has broken out, and there is no way to stop it, so he can only lie down and let the hammer go. Liu Yan wants to take two hits, Of course, we can't hurt the patriotism of the old brother. We support him and give him strong support.

"Although I also think there is something wrong with Zichuan, there is nothing more than this." Li You took out his seal and stamped it. Zhuge Liang could only express his confusion about this matter with his eyes, but Li You It's straightforward. Li You thinks that there is something wrong with Chen Xi, but it happens often, and he doesn't care if there are just one or two more. It's not a problem.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Chen Xi and Li You, and stamped his own seal. Then a group of people passed by, and had people present it to the princess. They also stamped the national seal, and then led Liu, the locust control veteran in several states. Yan was born, but it was destined to be a losing battle. If it could not be won, it would definitely not be won.

"Huh huh huh, there are only a few roads in Xinzhou, let's see how I kill the locusts." Liu Yan said confidently after receiving the edict. He also had a certain understanding of Xinzhou. After all, those who had been in Xinzhou before As a king, Liu Yan came to the Central Plains to live in his apartment, and Liu Yan had many contacts with them. He knew how many routes the locusts could choose to invade Xinzhou.

"I wish you success." Chen Xi said with a smile, "If you need anything, just call it. It is said that there is no shortage of things over there in Xinzhou. I just happened to be sending food there recently. When the time comes, the Central Asian Family will come If you borrow food, Wei Shuo will take care of it."

Disasters in Central Asia are inevitable. The second round of locust plagues has almost wiped out Central Asia. If there had not been less than two months between the second and third rounds, it would have given Central Asia aquatic plants to develop. At that time, there was no food to eat during the third round of locust plague.

Therefore, no matter how hard it is, no matter which one of the Central Asian families, there is not enough food and grass. Chen Xi can only go to Xinzhou in advance to adjust the food, and then Xinzhou will transport the food and grass to Sanzhi during the interval between the second and third rounds of locust plagues. The Turan Plain below.

Kuai Yue built everything that needed to be built in Tulan, and the scale and quantity of the underground granaries were sufficient. After the three rounds of locust plagues passed, the major families could just go to Congling to receive food with slips. Chen Xi was here On the other hand, it will definitely not be stuck with major aristocratic families.

But even so, only those families relatively close to Turan can quickly obtain food. As for the three Persian Gulf families, and the families surrounding the three Persian Gulf families, don't expect to be able to obtain food from the Turan Plain in the northeast. Not to mention, just transporting it there would take a long time.

Of course, Chang'an also received what the three Persian Gulf companies did, but after some discussion, Liu Tong only gave the order and did not execute Zhang Fan. The matter was urgent and power could not really starve millions of people. Damn it, besides, the three companies themselves are keeping secrets, so there is no need to be so stubborn.

It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The three families will need to contain part of the Kushan forces in the subsequent war against the Kushans. But if you really want to say it, this can be regarded as protection.

Let’s not talk about Rome. The families around the three families are not fools. No matter how much the three families publicize, or even exaggerate the results of the war, saying that they cheated fifty ships of fine grain from the Kushans, even if it is fifty ships of fine grain, the population size of the three families and the population loss caused by famine will make the surrounding families realize that the three families have other sources of food.

Things like sugarcane plantations can definitely be found out by checking. It was not found before because no one paid attention to it. Everyone worked hard and had little time to pay attention to what fields were planted next door. But now that the locust plague has passed, the sugarcane plantations will definitely be exposed.

After all, sugar is an important strategic material in any era. Not to mention the era of hot weapons, even in the era of cold weapons, sugar as food is also an important material. Considering that sugar water itself actually has a certain disinfection ability and can create a low-bacteria environment, this is a life-saving thing. Even if you only consider survival, it is more important than salt.

So after this wave, let alone the surrounding noble families, Rome probably doesn't like these three families, after all, sugar is also a very important strategic material for Rome.

"What you said, then you will see how I deal with those locusts." Liu Yan said confidently, he found an extremely effective way to fight against the locust plague, and all the preconditions are ready.

"That's good, when you stop the locust sky, we will give you a large celebration when you come back." Chen Xi said with a smile, but he was not optimistic about this matter. He believed that Liu Yan must have obtained some special secrets or technologies, but everything has to be discussed in an order of magnitude. At the order of magnitude of the locust sky, even if you have any secrets, it is meaningless.

"By the way, have you come up with any new technology?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise after Liu Yan left and asked.

"The Wang family of Kuaiji has developed an electric magnetic field, which should be useful." Li You answered casually.
