Li Fan was wearing an official uniform, but he did not ride a carriage, but directly rode a horse.

On his left, Xiao Liuzi carried the Shangfang sword for him, and on the right was the taciturn Ganti Banner! Since entering Xijing, Ganti Banner has been living in seclusion and has been training secret soldiers for Li Fan. This time he went to Yuzhou, Li Fan took him with him.

Behind Li Fan, the three princes including Liu Huan, Liu Jing, and Liu Wu were also riding on horses! Except for the vehicles escorting them, no one could ride on the bus.

Only in this way can we reach Yuzhou as fast as possible.

The crowd flew away a path and the emperor walked out of the capital in person.

"The safety of Daxizhi lies in Yuzhou!"

"Yuzhou is unstable, and the world is unstable!"

The voice of Emperor Jianye shook the field and said, "Today, you are not going to travel around the mountains and rivers, not going to eat, drink and enjoy, but going to fight!"

"Your enemy is the locusts in Yuzhou!"

"If you win, the world will be at peace! If you lose, the people will suffer!"

"You guys only win!"

In an instant, all the officials, soldiers and others in the field roared in unison: "I will win!"

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

...Li Fan led the team and finally set off! This time, the team heading to Yuzhou was very large! The 500 elite soldiers from the Ministry of War were led by Zhang Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The thirty grain trucks specially distributed by the Ministry of Revenue were loaded with grain and even a truck of silver for emergencies.

Yu Bingling, the supervisor of the Ministry of Justice Supervision and Administration, led the supervisory officers to follow him.

All officials from the six ministries participated.

It can be said that Emperor Jianye has done everything he can to win this battle.

Their target was only one, that is, the locust plague!... It took about eight days to arrive from Xijing to Yuzhou. There was a car behind him, and it slowed down again. On the road, Li Fan was anxious. In order to arrive in time, he ordered Zhang Jin, the Minister of War, to lead 300 people to escort the grain chariot, and he himself rode forward lightly.

...and at this moment.

Yuzhou! Xincai County.

It was noon, and countless farmers did not rest. They formed a series of human walls, holding not hoes, but brooms! The new Xincai County Magistrate Ge Wan, with a group of county yamen runners, was following behind the human wall at this moment. His head was full of sweat, and even his black hat had been taken off and put aside! "Hurry, slap again, slap again!"

He shouted, the people who were connected to the front line waving their brooms violently and slapped the flying locusts in the air! After being beaten by the broom, the yellow-brown insects fell one after another and fell on the dry land.

"I'll trample you to death!"

"Dog Day Locust!"

With anger and panic, the people stepped on the insects to death, and then took a step forward... "Sir, we have been purging for six consecutive days, but there are more and more locusts... People need rest, but locusts can grow and reproduce infinitely. In just these six days, this crop has been eaten by almost half... If this continues, we can't stop it!"

A yamen runner's face looked sad. During this period, Ge Wan personally led them to organize the people to fight the insects, but it had little effect! The growth rate of locusts far exceeded that of humans! Ge Wan looked ahead and a locust jumped on his head, but he was unwilling to slap it. A deep despair appeared in his eyes! "Report, report..." He spoke weakly.

"We reported it a month ago... However, except for the official documents from Zhili Prefecture that asked us to actively organize disaster resistance, there was nothing else, no support, no manpower..." The master next to him sighed and said, "Sir, now, I am afraid that the entire Yuzhou is already in this situation. Zhili Prefecture is already unable to take care of itself..."... Lintian County.

"Mr. County Magistrate, our crops are almost eaten up. Think of a solution..." "Mr. County Magistrate, all three wells in the city have dried up, and only the county government still has water. You can put us in..." Many people gathered outside the county government, mostly old, weak, women and children.

The people who can work at home have already gone to the fields to protect the poor crops, and the old and weak cannot provide effective help, so they ask for their orders.

The well water dried up, locusts erupted, crops were lost, and the food that was too late to mature was eaten up... They were praying for help from the government.

However, the gate of Lintian County's county government has been locked for seven days and seven nights! "Wang Zhongyun, you, a dog official, are incompetent, and you have killed so many of us! Dog official!"

"Dog official, open the door!"

The hot weather aroused the anger of the people. They threw countless stones and other pieces into the county government... and in the county government government, the backyard.

An official who looked like a Confucian scholar was sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, holding a cup of books in his hand, and was so leisurely and elegant that he even planted a small vegetable garden here.

"Sir, it's not good. Those troublemakers outside throw stones at our county government office... They are so brave!"

At this time, a yamen runner hurriedly and reported with an anxious expression.

Hearing this, the official frowned and said, "I'm so flustered, what's the point!"

"Just drive those people away, don't let the things thrown in by those untouchables disturb my clean county government."

"Go now!"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner looked embarrassed, but he had to leave.

The official picked up the book again and said, "Hide in the county government office and become a united state, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter... Those ordinary people only know how to enjoy the joy of farming and reading in my small vegetable garden?"

...The entire Yuzhou land! The same scene is staged together between different prefectures and counties.

Half a month ago, there were not so many locusts in the fields.

But in just half a month, the number of locusts increased at an unimaginable rate.

Zhili Prefecture, Yuzhou.

In the past few days, Kang Xunbai, Zhili, Yuzhou, has almost no sleep every night, and the lights in Zhili Mansion are brightly lit! The weather is hot, and Kang Xunbai is sitting in front of a few cases, and his heart is even more anxious, frightened, angry, and powerless... He has lost more than ten pounds during this period, and has become much more haggard, as if he has grown ten years old! Every day, new counties and counties send messengers to send urgent letters! "Ruyin County is in an emergency, Xincai, epithelial, and Lindong counties have broken out, and the county government can no longer resist! Please support!"

"Ruyang County is in an emergency. The county magistrate's office has been affected by the victims. Many victims have given up resistance and come to Yuzhou City!"

"Anle County is in an emergency, the well water has dried up, more than half of the crops have been lost, and there has been a famine in the area. Please allow food to be allocated immediately!"

...The urgent items are like the death-hunting notes.

Kang Xunbai's eyes were covered with blood, but he dared not rest, nor did he dare to rest... His hands were already numb, and his heart had already sunk to the bottom.

Just fifteen days ago, he felt that the locust plagues everywhere could no longer be suppressed and reported to Meng Changqing, but Meng Changqing was still addicted to the banquet. He was forced to ignore the taboos of reporting over the level of the officialdom, and made people hurriedly send letters to Xijing... Apart from this, he could no longer do anything.

In Zhili Prefecture, he listened to the urgent reports from all over the country, and then allocated the resources that could be given in Zhili Prefecture's treasury to the greatest extent, including all the people under his command... But the accumulation of those materials and the support of manpower, in the face of the storm of disasters in various places, was like a drop in the bucket. In the past month, he had no soldiers to use and had nothing to pay for! All he could do was sit here and write letters, but the content of the letter had long been repeated: organize manpower on his own, resist disasters to the greatest extent, resettle victims, and dig wells... He wrote one correct nonsense after another.

But this is already the greatest contribution he can make to Yuzhou.

At least let all counties know that Zhili Prefecture has not let it go, Zhili Prefecture is still working hard, and it is still working hard...are you?

When will it be shattered if you use letters to maintain such a weak hope?

He dared not think about it.

I dare not think about it.

He no longer cared about Meng Changqing and sent people to Xijingjia to send one letter after another.

But he knew that Xijing might not pay attention to it. The officials in the court might have already left their urgent letters aside... and even if the empire, which had long been terminally ill, reacted, support would be late... He was almost desperate.

"Wangchuan County urgently reported!"

At this time, another shouting, a messenger who came from Wangchuan County staggered into Zhili Mansion. The messenger's face was so pale, his lips were chapped, and he was obviously extremely tired... He knelt on the ground, a deep sadness emerged in his eyes, and cried bitterly: "Master Zhili, Wangchuan County collapsed... completely collapsed..." "Just yesterday, the city was in chaos, and countless hungry people rushed to the county city to grab food..." Has the matter developed to this point?

Kang Xunbai raised his eyes and said, "Where is Liu Chuan?

If something like this happens, why not suppress it, why not suppress it?"

He was almost roaring.

Now the entire Yuzhou is in danger, and the thing he is most worried about is that this locust plague will cause civil riots! Once there is a step, the people will probably rise up... In the history of the empire, whenever there is no way out, they will choose the last one! Therefore, we must not be confused... Even if we are more ruthless and cruel, we must maintain the stability of Yuzhou... But now, Wangchuan County is in chaos... a mess! The messenger said in tears: "Sir... can't hold it anymore, can't hold it anymore... In Wangchuan County, some people change their sons to eat, some people change their sons to eat... An angry mother walked into the city with a half-eating child's body, and her child was stolen and cooked... Can you imagine how adults?

Can you imagine it?"

"When Lord Liu Chuan saw that scene, he collapsed, he committed suicide, he committed suicide!... He said sorry, sir, sir, sir, sir, the people of Wangchuan County..." The messenger cried bitterly and said, "Sir, our Yuzhou is over!"

Kang Xun's face turned pale, and he was stunned, stunned, dull... Yizi ate... An angry mother walked into the city with a half-eating body of a child, and her child was stolen and cooked... Tears suddenly flowed silently in his eyes! The pen in his hand fell to the ground.

He stared blankly in front of him, listening to the messenger's howling, he suddenly wanted to cry, but he could no longer cry.

"Oh my God..." he spoke sadly.

"Not good, no good good!!"

At this time, a yamen runner hurriedly outside and said, "The victims who entered the city... surrounded the Governor's Mansion!"

"The Governor ordered you to go and rescue him immediately!"
Chapter completed!
