The overwhelming locusts covered the sky, as terrifying as the end of the world. Luoyang, Hanoi, Jinyang, Chang'an, Wan, Chenliu, the crops in these disaster areas were almost devastatingly damaged overnight. Although they were harvested and the locusts seized food, the harvest was less than 10% in previous years. Especially in Luoyang's worst-hit areas, there was almost no harvest!

Although Chenliu City was also attacked by locust plague under Cao Cao's rule, it had no effect on the soldiers because it stored a lot of soldiers and food in the city. As for the hungry people of Chenliu, there was a 200,000 soldiers and food transferred from Xuchang by Wu Fan, and a part of Chenliu City was pulled out, so he could basically pass through it safely.

Yuan Shu, Wancheng west of Xuchang, was not so comfortable. Yuan Shujun, who had always pursued the strategy of military and military affairs, finally tasted the pain in the face of natural disasters. More than 100,000 hungry people in Wancheng were so hungry that they could not eat. However, the grain in Wancheng's granary was only 200,000, and they were unable to transfer the food for the hungry people.

After forced, Yuan Shu had to borrow food everywhere. Wu Fan refused to borrow it on the grounds that Chenliu was seriously affected. Yuan Shu sent people to Sun Jian and finally borrowed 150,000 yuan of soldiers and grain, and transferred 100,000 yuan of them to the victims. After a while, in just half a month, 30,000 people in Wancheng defected to Xuchang Bu, which increased the number of people in Xuchang to 450,000.

Since then, Yuan Shu's relationship with Cao Cao began to become disagreeable, which was exactly the result Wu Fan wanted. He wanted Yuan Shu to send troops to attack Xuchang, so he had the excuse to capture Wancheng legitimately. After all, the Cao army in front had just conquered Kong Yichang, so it was difficult to take the initiative to use troops against the surrounding forces in succession, otherwise he would soon recruit other princes to jointly attack.

Another month later, in mid-August, Cui Yingying finally made a move, and finally lived up to Wu Fan's hard work. Wu Fan, who learned the news, was naturally in a good mood and was waiting for him to become his father in October.

Cao Cao's recruitment order was posted under the power of the Cao army in Chenliu, Xuchang, Puyang and Runan. It attracted a large number of people to watch every day and became a hot topic of discussion on the streets and alleys.

In the current Three Kingdoms era, the employment concept of various forces is still limited to the concept of the disciples. The nameless and unbacked common people want to serve as officials directly, unless they are appreciated by fate and promoted directly to the monarch of a certain force. Otherwise, it is not much easier than climbing to heaven.

In the three months after the recruitment order was posted, there were about 200 civilians in the four cities who thought they were capable of registering for the examination. After some screening, most of them became military captains or civil servants, and more than a dozen became subordinates, who were under the prefects of their respective cities.

After the assessment, Xuchang has four candidates appointed as followers. Most of them are estimated to reach about 80 to 85 (the training mode, no specific attributes can be seen before the training is over). Although the other three attributes are somewhat low, they are also useful. Wu Fan assigned these four people to Hua Xiong, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Zhou Tai, so that they could teach more on weekdays so that they could grow into powerful generals in the future.

However, on this day, Wu Fan was reading information about locust plagues in various places in the main hall of the palace. Due to the severe disaster in Luoyang, the bandits had already risen in the territory. Although the surrounding forces had more or less provided some military food under the emperor's decree, the amount of military food was not enough for the Luoyang army, so they could not care about the hungry people. Therefore, more and more bandits in Luoyang gathered, and were no longer satisfied with robbing the family and even began to rob the government, with the momentum of the Yellow Turbans rising again.

Hua Xiong, who was reading the information about locust plague, was responsible for today's "recruitment assessment" work, walked in from outside the hall, followed by a young man. Hua Xiong came to Wu Fan, bowed and greeted him, and said:

"Meng Xuan, this is a very potential young man I just discovered on the self-assessment site. His qualifications are like this..."

As he said that, Hua Xiong reached out to the young man behind him and introduced him to Wu Fan-

[[[CP|W:150|H:139|A:L|U:http://file2.qidian.com/chapters/20117/24/1984224634471397580965288871538.jpg]]] Name: Li Zhan. Word: Kunyuan

Age: 19

Type: General

Faith: Loyalty and righteousness

Character: Tough and courageous

Drinking: Ordinary

Care: Martial Arts

Material desire: no desire

Command: Extraordinary (Qualification: Outstanding)

Martial power: extraordinary (Qualification: outstanding)

Intellectual: capable (qualification: outstanding)

Charm: capable (qualification: hopeful)

Fame: 0

Loyalty: 85

Intimacy: 0

Relationship: None

Personal skills: technology, recruitment, calmness

Leading skills: assault, crossbow, rushing, flying shooting, construction

Affiliation: Cao Cao

Official rank: None

After seeing the qualifications of this young man, Wu Fan couldn't help but be surprised. "Soldier" training is a major feature of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9". According to the setting of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9", combined with Li Zhan's qualifications, as long as he is trained properly in the future, his command and force can reach about 95, his intelligence and politics can reach about 85, and even the worst charm can reach about 80.

Such a circumference is so full. Looking for Wu Fan’s subordinates, no one can reach his level of fullness. Even if all the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms are listed, there will not be more than 5 people who have surpassed this young man!

In terms of skills, there are fewer personal skills, but there is a perverted astronomy, which is extremely rare. At present, no one of the civil servants and generals under Cao Cao has this skill. With his teaching in the future, it is not a problem to add three or five personal skills. As for the leading skills, it is quite perfect, assault, crossbow, and flying shooting are all the most advanced military tactics. Just in terms of leading skills, Wu Fan is even slightly inferior!

Although Wu Fan was very surprised by this young man named Li Zhan, it was a psychological activity, and it was expressionless on the surface. Hua Xiong had finished introducing Li Zhan at this time and said to Wu Fan:

"Meng Xuan, this young man has excellent qualifications and may not be able to fully develop under my hands. Therefore, I specially brought him, hoping that Meng Xuan can tutor him."

Wu Fan nodded, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said:

"Well, then I'll tutor him."

Tip: How do you teach Li Zhan?

A: Strict: Force it to grow rapidly with a strict attitude.

B: Personally: urge them to grow faster with a diligent attitude.

C: Easy-going: Let it grow freely with a casual attitude.

Wu Fan thought about it and felt that strictness and easy-goingness were not good. One was too strict and the other was too loose, so he could only choose to "work personally" after a compromise.

Afterwards, Hua Xiong said goodbye to Wu Fan and went out.

Li Zhan walked up, bowed respectfully to Wu Fan, and said:

"If you have time, please give me more advice in the future."

At this time, a messenger from Chenliu ran into the main hall of the palace and handed Wu Fan a letter written by Cao Cao. When Wu Fan opened the letter, he frowned.

It turned out that the size of the bandits in Luoyang was as strong as a snowball, and it had quickly grown and surrounded Luoyang City. Two days ago, Cao Cao received information: the emperor issued an edict to the surrounding forces, demanding that soldiers be sent to encircle and suppress them. The military officer responsible for conveying the edict to Cao Cao was intercepted and killed by the bandits halfway, so that Ma Teng, Yuan Shao, Li Qu, Guo Si and all sent troops to Luoyang, but Cao Cao had just learned about it.

After Cao Cao learned the news, he urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss. Some people advocated that soldiers should be sent to make a fortune, while others believed that it was too late to send troops at this time and there was no need to mobilize the troops. Although Cao Cao also intended to send troops, he was a little unsure, so he specially wrote a letter to ask Wu Fan what he thought about this.

After reading this letter, Wu Fan immediately stood up and came to the commander, seized the cup of water he was drinking, and said:

"When you go back, tell the lord that you must send troops to Luoyang as soon as possible. For me, I will lead the Xuchang army to arrive soon! Our army will not make military achievements this time, but we must prevent the emperor from falling into the hands of others! Let's set off immediately, no one must be allowed!"

When the messenger heard Wu Fan say this, he responded quickly, shook his legs and ran out.

Instead, Wu Fan said to the civil servants in the main hall:
Chapter completed!
