The great cause of locust control was carried out with Xiao Ruxun's decision to break the boat.

Xiao Ruxun told Xu Guangqi that whenever he arrived, the first thing he had to do was to read the emperor's edict, popularize the knowledge of locusts to the people, tell them why locusts lived, why they died, how to prevent and control them, and how to eliminate them.

Finally, destroy the Locust Temple and all kinds of strange temples, destroy the luck in the hearts of the people and the fear of non-existent monsters and monsters.

For disasters, the most reliable thing is always your own hands and legs. If your own hands and legs cannot save you, then there is only death, because people cannot compete with nature. But at least this is death after struggle, which is brave, not just having the strength but only knowing to burn incense and worship Buddha, and finally starving to death.

There is no point in kneeling in front of monsters and monsters. You should stand up and smash them.

If someone kneels for too long and can't stand up, then help him, put a knife on his neck and force him to stand up. Even if he presses, he must let them stand up!

I want to see if you are more afraid of monsters or my sword.

Xu Guangqi was sweating profusely. He vaguely guessed what the emperor was going to do, but he didn't dare to think about it carefully. He only knew that he would do whatever the emperor said. This was the best way to do things under this unprecedentedly powerful emperor.

Emperor Xiao Ruxun of the Qin Dynasty did not like anyone to question him.

In June of the first year of Longwu, someone reported that the Temple of Heaven and Earth were disrepaired. This was an important place for the emperors of the previous dynasty to worship the world. It was a major national event. People should be sent to repair it as soon as possible to avoid missing major events.

As a result, the official was reprimanded by the emperor's order, demoted him to a higher level, fined him for half a year's salary, becoming a laughing stock for civil and military officials in the court.

There is only one poem on the emperor's reprimand - it's a pity that the seat is empty in the middle of the night, and does not ask the people about ghosts and gods.

Then no one in the court mentioned the repair of the Temple of Heaven and Earth.

At that time, people speculated that the emperor had just established a country and wanted to take a benevolent attitude of paying attention to people's livelihood, and would use his full efforts to provide disaster relief and treatment to the people to stabilize the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and not repair palaces to express his determination to live a frugal life. This was a political attitude, so no one cared too much.

But half a year has passed. In Xu Guangqi's current view, the emperor's intention seems to be not as simple as everyone thinks.

He wanted to speculate, but he did not dare to speculate in depth, for fear that he would guess what was wrong and anger the emperor and would be difficult to end. So he stopped thinking deeply, but instead summoned the officials of the General Administration of Locust Control to hold a meeting and conveyed the emperor's orders according to the emperor's instructions.

The General Administration of Locust Control began to take action. Far southwest, the Qin army's attack on Hailongtun was almost at its last moment.

On the evening of the 13th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Longwu, Wan'an Pass was broken. Wu Yong's troops broke through Wan'an Pass. He captured the enemy at night. The defenders of Wan'an Pass were wiped out and a few fled. Wu Yong led his army to cover up and kill more than 600 people, and pushed the front line to the last line of defense before the top of the mountain.

However, Hailongtun is located on the mountain. The terrain on the mountain and at the bottom is completely different. The slope at the foot of the mountain is relatively slow, while the slope on the mountain suddenly becomes steeper. The slope of the last level is already very bad. The Qin army has become a thorough attack, and all aspects are in a very unfavorable situation.

And more importantly, Yang Yinglong went to the battle himself.

After Yang Yinglong realized that he seemed to have been fooled, he was furious and vomited blood, and then forced himself to defend the city in person, trying to boost morale, let the soldiers stick to the earthen wall, and make this last and most solid line of defense the tomb of the Qin army.

If you don’t let me live, I won’t let you live!

This is how Yang Yinglong, who was already a little crazy, decided.

Because of his appearance, the local soldiers in Bozhou defended the city very tenaciously, and faced the extremely fast and powerful attack of the Qin army, they actually resisted it.

The first wave of attacks by Qi Dayong was repelled. They rushed forward with a large shield, but were beaten back by a wooden rock, pushed the shield cart forward, and were repelled by their cannons. They forced the charge and attack and were repelled by arrow rain and bird guns. They tried all kinds of ways. After Qi Dayong lost more than 400 soldiers, he had to grit his teeth and retreat.

Due to the terrain, the Qin army was unable to exert all their strength. Seeing Guancheng so close but unable to break through to the nearest, their comrades kept falling down, they were really angry.

Zheng Ying stopped his meaningless attacks and went to the front line to observe the situation of the earthen city walls. He frowned as he watched the injured and dead soldiers who were constantly carried away by stretchers.

Since the battle, the number of deaths in the Qin army has exceeded 3,000 and injured more than 10,000. Thanks to the medical team's continuous rotation day and night, the mortality rate of the injured soldiers was controlled. However, some soldiers injured by lead were difficult to rescue. A considerable number of people were unwilling to amputate their limbs, and some even committed suicide.

As the head coach, he also took a lot of pressure. Now the army's attack is blocked, and the attack in front of the trunk is also blocked in front of the thirty-sixth ladder at Feihu Pass, and the front of the trunk is blocked in total. The Qin army's aura is frustrated. It seems that it is not the time to attack fiercely now.

Before going out, Xiao Ruxun wrote three letters to him, telling him not to always think about crushing with brute force when fighting. The Qin Dynasty's military strength is indeed stronger than the Bozhou soldiers, but with Hailongtun, it cannot be crushed. When encountering insurmountable levels, you have to think about whether you can find another way.

Don't stick to a month's date. This is just a deadline that Xiao Ruxun said to motivate them. In fact, he does not intend to offend them if he can't get Bozhou for a month. He can give the army enough time, but the army must give him the results that satisfy him.

Don't panic, don't worry, don't lose your temper, think about it carefully, what other tricks can be used.

Zheng Ying frowned, recalling Xiao Ruxun's words, thinking deeply, looking at everything on the battlefield, and thinking deeply.

"You guys, carry the wounded to the medical camp! Hurry up!"

Not far from Zheng Ying, a Han soldier and a local soldier were working together to send a Qin soldier in his hand to the medical camp.

Because of the strict military discipline of the Qin army and the pre-specified offensive order, the local soldiers did not receive oppression and discrimination from the Qin army, and the two sides got along happily. When the Qin army attacked, the local soldiers also had local soldiers involved in assisting. This was not uncommon.

Now, it is the most important time for Bozhou chieftains to express their loyalty to Daqin. In order to better divide Bozhou's interests after Yang Yinglong's death, they did everything they could.

……………………

Um?

Zheng Ying looked at this scene and his eyes lit up, his mouth slightly opened, as if he had thought of something very special. Suddenly, he closed his mouth again, lowered his head, and his eyes turned around, and he immediately thought about it.

He remembered that when he was still in Myanmar, Xiao Ruxun liked to go to the barracks to get close to each other with their officers and underground soldiers, always having dinner and drinking with them, and then telling stories to everyone around the bonfire.

The most memorable story of Zheng Ying is a story called the Trojan Horse.
