Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 409

After a long distance, Cao Cao shouted.

Xia Houzhe is now standing in the sun with a few women, leading tens of thousands of people to dig the ground.

Even though he didn't let Lu Lingqi and the others go out to bask in the sun, they still insisted on helping.

In their words, you can't accompany your man on the battlefield, but you must be by your side when you go to work in the fields!

Although they will get tanned, they don't care, and they will be white again in one winter!

And digging the ground with Xia Houzhe, they were very happy!This can be regarded as fighting side by side.

"Come? Okay! Let's go to Fengqiu!"

With a wave of one hand, Xia Houzhe put a dozen or so cars of gasoline into the system.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people boarded the Harmony and ran towards Fengqiu.

Cao Chun led the soldiers and followed behind.

These soldiers did not carry guns or knives, but all of them carried hoes!

When they arrived at Fengqiu, it was already dark, and the county magistrate there had brought the people to wait early.

The county magistrate of Fengqiu is Xiahou Dun's deputy general, Cai Yang's nephew, Qin Qi!

"How's the locust situation?"

"My lord, the number of locusts is increasing! There are a lot of locusts in the fields, and they are starting to eat the crops!"

Qin Qi reported with a sad face that he had followed Cao Cao with his uncle Cai Yang a long time ago.

But the ability is not strong, and the force is not high, so he was arranged here as the county magistrate.

On the other hand, his uncle Cai Yang, who has good military strength, became Xiahou Dun's lieutenant general, and has been with him all the time, together with Xiahou Dun... to farm the fields!

Although both uncles and nephews do farm work, they are different in nature. His uncle Cai Yang can farm with the leader, but he... can only farm by himself!No fun at all!

Cao Cao's complexion changed in shock.

"Has it reached this level yet? This locust has developed really fast!"

"My dear brother, I've been working so hard all day, what do you think...do you want to rest for the night, or continue to catch bugs?"

In fact, Cao Cao wanted to stay up all night to catch bugs. How could he sleep if he didn't deal with the locusts?

The reason for asking this question is because of Xia Houzhe's salty fish character!

This guy can dig a few days with him, the sun has come out from the west.

But unexpectedly, Xia Houzhe chose the latter without hesitation.

And opened his mouth to fight!

"Take a break! After you die, you will have time to sleep. For adults, it is best to catch them at night! Otherwise, what do you think I want you to get kerosene for?"

Xia Houzhe's blunt words made Qin Qi tremble.

I am a mother!Don't drive here...Is there an iron on the head?Such a tiger!

Talking to the lord like this, are you not afraid of being cut off?

In the next second, Cao Cao's performance made his jaw drop in shock!

"Hahaha! My virtuous brother is righteous! Let's go! I will fight with you until dawn tonight!"

"As long as you can do it, I'll stay with you for as long as you can! It's the principle to make sure you can't move!"

"By the way, tell me about your plan!"

Watching this scene, Qin Qi fell into a life of doubt.

Didn't uncle say that the lord is very strict?Why...looks like a sycophant?

Shall I try a few words too?It seems very cool!

As soon as this idea came out, he was immediately obliterated by him. Life is short, and he doesn't want to take shortcuts!

Hearing Cao Cao's words, the corners of Xia Houzhe's mouth curled up slightly.

"Have you ever heard of moths to a flame?"

"Of course! But what does this have to do with locusts? Don't they also..."

Cao Cao looked at him in surprise, if that's the case... that would be great!

Xia Houzhe nodded: "That's right! Locusts are also very sensitive to light sources, and have the same habit of fighting fire as moths!"

"So light a fire with torches at night to attract locusts! As long as the fire is high enough, the locusts will burn their wings the moment they come over! Isn't it easy to hunt without wings?"

In fact, the method of burning fire to trap and kill was only officially used in the Tang Dynasty.

"Erya", "Shuowen", "The Book of Songs · Datian", "Qi Min Yao Shu · Planting Dates" and "The Keys to Catch Locusts" of the Qing Dynasty all mentioned this point!

Moreover, the effect of trapping and killing adult insects with fire is extremely significant!

"We use fire to trap and kill at night, and set fire to the land during the day! Burning those wastelands will also kill many eggs and adults! And it will also benefit future reclamation. It can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded heavily and asked Qin Qi to take them to the place with the most adults.

Cao Chun led the troops and followed behind.

Under the moonlight, a group of people came to the locust gathering place!

Even at night, you can hear the sound of their wings flapping.

Especially the densely covered locusts almost covered the moon, making it almost impossible to see the moonlight.

Looking at the densely packed locusts, Cao Cao's hair became numb and his fists were clenched!

I feel sick all over!Goosebumps all over my body.

"This...why are there so many! My dear brother, arrange to take action, I can't take it anymore!"

Although locusts don't bite people, it still hurts when they bump into people's faces occasionally!

"No problem! You are all optimistic about how to operate! Divide up to trap and kill later! Don't cause a fire!"

Xia Houzhe nodded and roared.

Immediately, soldiers were arranged to collect dry firewood and pile them into dozens of firewood piles, and then poured gasoline on them and lit the fire.

As the burning stick was thrown on top of the gasoline, there was a bang!

In an instant, the entire field was lit up by fire!

When the flying locusts saw the fire, they turned around and rushed towards Cao Cao and the others.

Quite a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city!It makes people feel depressing!

Lv Lingqi, Cai Yan and the girls were even more frightened and screamed, hiding behind Xia Houzhe and shivering.

Most women are afraid of bugs, even they are!

Fortunately, locusts don't bite people, otherwise these locusts will cause him heavy losses!

A large number of locusts buzzed over, and the fire began to ignite above the fire, which was not caused by the burning of firewood.

It was the locust wings, which were ignited after being rushed by the flames!

As a result, countless locusts lost their wings and fell into the fire, and the burned beeps rang!

Accompanied by it, there is also a burnt smell!

This smell, Cao Cao Xia Houzhe and the others think it stinks!

But Cao Chun leaned over to the fire, breathed in the smell crazily, and enjoyed it!

"Ah! Cool! That's the smell! It smells so good!"

"No! I'm hungry!"

Cao Chun yelled, picked up a cooked locust that fell by the fire, threw it into his mouth and started chewing.

There was also a rattling sound, which made Cao Cao's hair stand on end!

"Cao Zihe! You step on the horse and shut up! Get back to me, don't eat that stuff!"

Cao Cao couldn't take it anymore, he really wanted to throw Cao Chun into the fire and burn him!

Why did my Cao family produce such a thing?

Cao Chun quickly grabbed a handful, put it in his pocket, and walked back with a smile.

"Brother, don't be angry! I'm reminiscing about the taste of my childhood! This burnt one is delicious, it feels like... eating crispy rice! Would you like to have a bite?"

"Get out! Eat, eat, eat! Eat everything! How can you eat it if it's so stinky? Doesn't shit stink? Why don't you make a few barrels?"

Cao Cao cursed angrily.

Cao Chun chuckled, disapproving.

"Brother, don't tell me, there are people who eat shit! Ji Ling wrote to me saying that he found the secret to making stinky tofu, which is pouring dung juice!"

"I was just as surprised as you last time, and I even teased him, my poop is stinky, do you want it?"

"In the end, guess how he replied to me? He actually told me... Wish Wen Qixiang!"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao was so angry that he kicked and kicked him up!

"I told you to stop interacting with the idlers in society, but you still don't listen! I'll beat you to death!"

On the other hand, Mi Zhen and the others next to her retched a few times before laughing loudly.

So this is what I wish Wen Qixiang meant?

During the fight between the few people, the number of locusts in the sky has decreased a lot!They all fell to the ground and either burned to death or burned their wings.

Seeing this, Xia Houzhe hurriedly ordered the soldiers to kill them!

"Go! If there is fire, take the fire, if there is no fire, take the shoe upper! Hit me!"

Chapter 471 Cao Cao wants to write "Meng De's New Book"

After one night of trapping and killing locusts, Xia Houzhe and Cao Cao committed countless killings!

If you want a new monk to come out, you must talk endlessly!

But from their point of view...it's not killing!

"Haha! My dear brother, the two of us have made the most contributions this time!"

Cao Cao had dark circles under his eyes, and his tired face still couldn't hide his excitement.

The flames in front of him have been extinguished, and there are many unburned locust corpses under his feet.

Looking at the densely packed corpses, Cao Cao poured a spoonful of gasoline on them and ignited them again.

Hearing the sound of Bilibala made him very comfortable!

Xia Houzhe threw a sofa out and sat on the sofa, squinting at this guy jumping up and down.

As for Lu Lingqi and the girls, they have already gone to sleep on the Harmony. Although it is a bit crowded, it is better than staying up late.

Staying up late will make a woman age prematurely, and he doesn't want his woman to be in her teens but look like she's in her decades.

"Now the adult insects here have been dealt with sixty-seven out of ten, and the threat is not that great! Leave the rest to Qin Qi! Let's go to Waihuang as soon as possible!"

Xia Houzhe yawned and was extremely tired.

Staying up late is very hurtful, and it hurts the kidneys!For him, this made him who was not full of energy even worse.

Cao Cao nodded, and after explaining to Qin Qi carefully, he left some kerosene for him.

Then he kicked Cao Chun who woke up from snoring on the ground, and the three boarded the Harmony.

Lu Lingqi and the girls just woke up, rubbing their eyes sleepily.

It is said to be sleeping, but in fact it means leaning on the seat and taking a nap with eyes closed.

"Husband, brother, are you busy?"

"Yeah! I'm busy, I'm about to leave for Waihuang!"

Xia Houzhe responded and sat down on the cab.

But looking at the road ahead, he felt dizzy for a while.
