"No, this elephant meat is not as good as our Daqin mutton. I can't get enough of it. I can eat it fresh every once in a while, but I eat it every time. I really can't eat it anymore!"
Fan Kuai waved his hands, he really had no appetite.
"Come here quickly, Huo Toujun is making spicy food today, it tastes good!"
Several other people were eating and greeting each other.
"That's it! Come on! Even if you look again, there will definitely be no less locusts outside the door!"
"well……!"
After repeated greetings from everyone, Peng Yue finally sat on the empty seat, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, "This locust plague comes at the wrong time. We are about to hit Fahrenheit City, why do we suddenly catch up with the locust plague?" What’s up?”
"Whatever, we have elephant meat and horse meat to eat, we can survive for a few days no problem!"
"What will happen in the next few days?"
"Let's talk about it then. If it doesn't work, just lead the army and rush out!"
Han Xin glanced out the window, feeling helpless.
These locusts are so menacing that they seem to be going crazy. As soon as a person goes out, they will immediately pounce on them and their bites will be painful!
That's why they stayed in the city and waited for the locusts to fly away on their own!
…
In Fahrenheit City.
When King Jialuo heard that even the elephant army had been destroyed, he fainted twice in a row.
After finally saving his life, he lay weakly on the blanket, listening to the ministers under his hands discussing countermeasures, nodding and shaking his head from time to time to express his agreement or disagreement.
But after deliberation for a long time, the ministers still couldn't come up with a feasible solution!
"Report..."
At this moment, a soldier's shout suddenly sounded outside the hall, frightening everyone's body.
"But the Qin army attacked?"
A minister hurriedly came forward to ask.
"No! There was a locust plague in Nalanda City. It was a very serious locust plague. It was overwhelming and blocked the Qin army!"
The soldiers reported truthfully.
"Locust plague?"
This news was like the sound of nature, making everyone in the palace shine.
Even King Jia Luo, who was lingering on the sickbed, sat up with all his strength!
"You...what you said...is true?"
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!"
The soldier was very determined.
"Okay! Great, haha!"
This was the first time he smiled since he woke up.
"The sky has eyes. Da Qin invaded our Maurya Dynasty and finally got its retribution!"
The ministers were also very happy.
"Quick! Send a few people to Nalanda City and ask them to leave quickly, otherwise God will inflict a more severe punishment!"
As if grasping at a life-saving straw, King Jia Luo used all his strength to issue the order.
"yes!"
The ministers responded and immediately gathered together to discuss the candidates for envoys.
After deciding on the candidate, he took a group of soldiers, wrapped himself up tightly, and headed to Nalanda City!
However, Cao Shen's team was the first to arrive at Nalanda City.
After they arrived at Nalanda City, they were immediately shocked by the sight before them!
The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, so tight that it was airtight!
Everyone took off their clothes and covered their heads to prevent locust attacks, and then slowly entered the city!
The soldiers guarding the city were far away. When they saw a group of people walking towards them tightly packed, they immediately fired a shot into the sky as a warning to remind them not to come any further.
But he never expected that he would get a response.
Han Xin also picked up the Mao-colored gun and fired a shot into the sky!
A group of soldiers guarding the city were stunned for a moment, then realized and ran towards them crazily!
In this world, except for Great Qin, no other country has thermal weapons.
Moreover, hearing the familiar sound, it was obviously coming from the fur-colored gun in their hands!
"General Cao!"
When the city guards saw Cao Shen, they immediately bowed their hands and bowed, as if they were seeing relatives.
"Haha! Where is Han Xin?"
Meeting with the army, Cao Shen was also overjoyed.
"The general is in the city!"
The soldier pointed in the direction of the city lord's palace.
"General Cao must have noticed that there is a locust plague here. Anyone who comes out will be targeted by locusts!"
The soldiers wrapped themselves tightly and explained the situation to Cao Shen.
"Well, we already know, take us in quickly!"
Cao Shen responded and asked the soldiers to lead them into the city.
Just by stopping here for a moment, their bodies were already covered with locusts, which they couldn't even drive away.
There are also some that will slip through the gaps in clothes, which is very annoying!
"yes!"
The soldiers led Cao Shen and others into the city and met Han Xin.
"Cao Shen? Why are you here?"
Han Xin and others never expected that Cao Shen would appear here, and they were extremely surprised.
"I'll tell you later!"
After Cao Shen and others entered the door, they quickly took off their clothes and shook off the densely packed locusts on them.
Then, the soldiers took brooms and dealt with all the locusts!
"Ouch! In my thirty years of life, Cao Shen, this is the first time I have seen so many locusts! I was almost eaten alive by them!"
After getting rid of the locusts on his body, Cao Shen put his clothes back on again and said with emotion.
"Hey! As if someone is not the same, we have never seen anything like a locust plague when we have grown up. This time it is an eye-opener!"
"Fortunately, this locust plague did not happen in our Tang Dynasty, otherwise, the people would suffer again!"
Wang Li and Yingchi spoke one after another.
"Yes! Since the past two days, we have noticed that the grass on the roadside is getting less and less. When we approach Nalanda City, we can no longer see any green leaves...!"
Cao Shen kept nodding, "Has the army's food and grass been affected by the locust plague?"
"Yeah! Part of it was eaten. Fortunately, we moved quickly. If it had been half a day later, we would have been wiped out!"
Han Xin replied.
"We have been eating horse meat that was beaten to death these days, and we are not very willing to eat food, otherwise we would be almost done!"
"No problem! We are here to deliver supplies to the army. In addition to food and grass, there is also a lot of ammunition!"
Cao Shen pointed to the rows of carriages outside the door and said.
"I said, Lao Cao, you came all the way to deliver supplies, and you just brought this little?"
However, Peng Yue curled his lips.
"What? Isn't that too little?"
Cao Shen deliberately teased him.
"That must be less! Is it worth traveling thousands of miles to deliver just this little thing? Even if we raided a city, we captured more than this! This small amount of food is not enough to feed the army for two days!"
"Well! Lao Cao, don't blame Lao Peng. This little food and grass is really too little. I'm afraid it's not even enough to fuel the steamer along the way!"
Peng Yue and Fan Kuai spoke one after another, both with grimaces on their faces.
In their opinion, bringing such a small amount of things over is worse than not coming at all!
"There is nothing we can do, His Royal Highness asked us to come here!"
Cao Shen shrugged seriously.
"Tai...Prince? Uh...ok!"
As soon as they heard that the prince and the others were coming, everyone shut their mouths and stopped complaining.
