    There is a severe drought, and people are dry!

    This was the scene in Luoyang and Guanzhong at this time. Officials were very motivated, and the people were even more motivated.

    Since ancient times, there has been drought in the north, and the people in the Guanzhong area have often encountered such natural disasters.  When encountering this kind of situation, people often drag their families with them and flee in various directions. Countless people starve to death along the way. In some places, there is even a phenomenon of exchanging children for food.

    Only this time, the people's hearts were very calm, without any panic.

    The King of Han is right. Even if the crops cannot be saved now, we must find a way to plant autumn crops.  There are so many water trucks and the canals have been repaired in advance. Can't they provide good irrigation?  Although there is very little water after it reaches the fields, it always brings hope.

    Wheat is hopeless, but beans and bean sprouts can be grown.  Although it is now a lean period, the government has opened warehouses to release grain, so no one is hungry. Even children and the elderly and infirm have something to eat.  The King of Han loves the people so much, how can the people not do a good job?

    The refugees who came from other places have also been well resettled.

    ¡°Of course there are some people who don¡¯t irrigate crops or work in the fields, but they still go around talking about officials deducting food, secretly swallowing up disaster relief food, etc.  Where is the granary, how few soldiers are guarding it, etc. Many people hate these people. When have they ever met such good officials? After suffering a disaster, they can still eat so full every meal. How can I tell them?  The same?  The officials under the King of Han were all honest and honest, and loved the people as their own children. The person who said this obviously had ulterior motives.

    Sure enough, within a few days, officials from the Ministry of Justice, along with some government officials and policemen, arrested these people. It turned out that they were all spies from Soochow and Cao Wei. They were members of the Sky Eye and Ghost Soldiers who came to Luoyang specifically to spread rumors.  Creating chaos.

    After the Ministry of Punishment found out the identities of these people, they beheaded them in public. All the people applauded and cursed Cao Cao and Sun Quan.  At this time, they are still here to create chaos. They are the kings of Wei and Wu, whom His Majesty personally conferred. They are simply traitors.

    From now on, there will be no more chaos.

    Zhuge Liang and Li Yan began to return to Luoyang.

    The four Western Kingdoms including Loulan, Khotan, Wusun, and Qiuci have been conquered, and Xianbei and Xiqiang can no longer pose a threat to Liangzhou. Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan followed Liu Cong's order and retained Ma Dai, Zhu Ling, and Yang Huai.  , Gao Pei and other four generals, 20,000 troops and horses were stationed in Jiuquan, Yumenguan, Xiping and Guzhang. The remaining troops and generals withdrew to Luoyang.

    Zhuge Liang already knew that there was a severe drought in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, and he was thinking about a solution when he withdrew his troops.  After finally defeating the foreign tribe, we were supposed to recuperate and let the people live a peaceful life, but who would have thought that we would encounter a natural disaster?  However, after the soldiers and horses arrived at Chencang, Zhuge Liang was shocked by what he saw.

    There was no starvation in the fields as he imagined, no robbery, murder, or even riots caused by natural disasters.  The people and officials diverted water from the Wei River to irrigate the land, in good order and with great enthusiasm. The government opened warehouses to distribute grain, and even the refugees were accommodated and did not starve.

    "My lord is really destined to be the master of Zhongxing!" Zhuge Liang said with emotion.

    "The water in the Wei River is clear and a saint comes out. This saint must be the lord. Kong Ming just imagines that even in the prosperous times, if such a natural disaster occurs, the people will not be hungry and the world will not have chaos. Who can do it? Let alone this.  Is it troubled times?¡±

    "Yes, even the emperors of Qin and Han are not as good as the Tang Dynasty of Yao, Shun and Yu!" Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Chao next to him, "Meng Qi, not far ahead is You Fufeng. What do you think?"

    "My lord is a saint, and I, Ma Chao, am convinced of it. Whether it is my father or the governor of Han, I can't imagine the scene at this time if it is my father or the governor of Guanzhong Road. Going to my lord is the most correct choice for me, Ma Chao."

    "General, the lady has now been made a concubine by the lord. She must be very happy to know that the general has surrendered to the lord!" Pang De said with a smile.

    "Thank you Lingming!" Ma Chao bowed his hand to Pang De. If Pang De and Ma Dai hadn't tried their best to persuade him and made the right choice outside Chengdu, Ma Chao really didn't know where he would be now?  What will happen again.

    After Zhuge Liang, Li Yan and other soldiers arrived in Luoyang, they were given a grand welcome by Liu Cong and officials!  People nearby also came to congratulate him.

    This time, the pacification of Xiliang and the defeat of foreign tribes were as great as those of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and will surely go down in history.  Ma Liang and other officials have already arranged the rewards for all officers and soldiers.

    Looking at the sincere expressions of Lord Liu Cong and other officials,??, the excitement of the people, Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Pang De and others were deeply moved.  Men should make meritorious deeds, gallop on the battlefield, expand territories, and have wives and children. More importantly, the superiors should be able to see their achievements!  How lucky you are to meet such a lord!

    "Meng Qi, I'm very relieved that you can return to the Han Dynasty. Now we are a family. Princess Yunlu has always missed you. Go and see her!" After everyone had been arranged, Liu Cong said to Ma Chao  explain.

    "Thank you, my lord!" Ma Chao bowed deeply to Liu Cong, "I was stupid and did many wrong things before. From now on, I will fight for my lord on the battlefield and I will not hesitate to die!"

    "Okay, okay, Meng Qiping!" Liu Congxu gave him a hand.

    "The soldiers and horses are being repaired in the military camp outside the city, and the officials of the Ministry of War are settling in. The generals have been fighting for many days and have a good rest. But Kong Ming and Zhengfang, you two can't rest yet! You have to work hard. This world is really troubled!  Go home and settle down, and discuss things in my study tomorrow."

    "This is a subordinate's job, why bother?" Zhuge Liang and Li Yan saluted at the same time.

    Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Jiang Wei, and Ma Zhong, the commander of Tianwang Camp, came to Liu Cong's study.

    "My lord, what happened?" Zhuge Liang asked hurriedly when he saw Ma Zhong here.

    Zhuge Liang has already understood the power of the Skynet Camp. The ability to command Ruoding in the Battle of Liangzhou is inseparable from the intelligence of the Skynet Camp, especially the flying pigeons passing the message, which made Zhuge Liang truly understand that this is Sun Tzu's Art of War.  It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!

    "News came from Youzhou that Tian Zitai, the governor of Youzhou, died of illness. The current governor is Wang Xiong. Gongsun Kang of Liaodong led an army of 50,000 people and suddenly went south. At this time, he was approaching Yuyang." Liu Cong said.

    "Why did Gongsun Kang actually lead his army south, and he assembled an army of fifty thousand." Li Yan felt a little strange.

    Gongsun Kang only inherited Gongsun Du's post as governor of Liaodong. He only had one county, but he was able to assemble an army of 50,000, and he dared to attack Youzhou.

    "What the Fang Fang doesn't know is that Gongsun Kang's strength is much greater than before!" Liu Cong said with a smile, "As his strength increases, his ambition will also expand!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
