The Shangtang Alliance Army had 200,000 elite troops, and tens of thousands of towns and troops spread across towns, and 60,000 to 70,000 grain-protected soldiers who ran thousands of miles from east to west. After discussion among civil and military officials, they decided to abolish most of the troops and horses and return to their hometowns.

There were 15,000 garrisons left in the Yangqu Jingji Road area, and 8,000 garrisons left in the Wei River. Hundreds of soldiers were appointed as one camp, and Xiashui Village was established, and a total of 32 camps were guarded by Guanzhai.

Henan Road urgently dispatched 30,000 Chujiang boat troops, 10,000 Fangfeng boat troops, and 10,000 cavalry troops, a total of 50,000 troops to guard the land thousands of miles on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Since there were no locusts raised in Jizhou and Qingzhou, Zhang Jia's troops remained unchanged and commanded 50,000 infantry and cavalry as the main force to attack Xia.

After the plan was decided, the civil and military officials immediately dispatched soldiers to return to their hometown to collect grain. Ji Boyan selected Ji Yu's brother Huang Bocang to lead 30,000 troops to return to Xudi, and reported to Cheng Tang that Huang Bocang was the general of Xuyi Liuyi Town, Guan Hu was the general of Shendi, and Guan Xiong was the general of Changyi. Cheng Tang accepted advice one after another and immediately ordered the three people to lead the army back to their hometown.

Most of the soldiers and generals of Yang Qu left in three or two days, with only Ji Yu, Lu Yue, and Changhou Boyan. The remaining princes had two generals or one general to help Yang Qu.

By the end of September, various states and various dynasties reported urgently, saying that locusts were powerful and storming the villages to eat grass and trees, without anything to control. If it spreads, not to mention military rations, even the heads of the Guizhou people would not have to eat for thousands of miles.

Cheng Tang immediately summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures, and everyone rushed into the surrounding villages of Yangli to catch insects. The result was densely packed with insects. Not only did they chew crops, but they even robbed the grass and trees along the way, but the bustling and green Central Plains were like a desert and barren land for thousands of miles.

Ji Yu wrote a note to make soup, which can defeat locusts in fire. He led officials from various towns into the village, and a group of locusts drove away teams. A team recruited hundreds of strong men and women, cut down dead grass and dry vines, and placed people to look in turn to the ground to look for them. If there were locusts, they would burn them with fire, or tie grass vines and wrap them with thick smoke to smoke the locusts.

Cheng Tang accepted Ji Yu's advice and sent various states and various responsibilities to condemn civil servants in the city and yamen runners went to the township to recruit locust teams.

After a few days, the locust plague stopped slightly in early October, and the state road drove out the locusts. However, Cheng Tang and the civil and military officials were not happy for too long, and there was an urgent report.

It is said that locusts not only drive them away, but also fly away. A nest of hundreds of thousands of locusts chew on the grass and trees along the way. They can eat dozens of miles a day and are smoked by the village, but they have not been completely cured. The number of locusts remains unabated. In addition, locusts are mixed with large trunks of locusts from all over the country, sweeping across the Central Plains with hundreds of millions of locusts.

At the same time, a rumor spread that the common people in various towns were ignorant. It was said that Cheng Tang and the princes expelled the emperor and were even punished by heaven, causing the Emperor of Heaven to send the gods of locusts to the world. The wind of worshiping locusts in various places was a prosperous place, as if the ghosts were coming again in the six days. Countless Haotian temples were quickly built in the countryside, and the side halls were worshipped by the gods of locusts.

For a time, even many civil and military officials were in panic. After all, the emperor was the clan of the Five Emperors of the Human King. Since Xia Qi succeeded to Yu's throne, it has been passed down for dozens of generations and 400 years, and no one has ever dared to attack the emperor.

Previously, only Chang Yi, a clan of the Dakang clan of the Dongyi, attacked the emperor Taikang, secretly occupied the palace and claimed to be Xia Houyi, but in the end he was defeated by the Saint Queen of Shaokang, and the fate was very tragic.

Since then, although Xia has been several Yidu City and moved from Yanshi to Yangqu, his power is sometimes low like a small town, but no one has ever dared to rebel from the emperor.

Since hearing the large number of locusts swept across the Central Plains and many comments, Cheng Tang's already gray hair has added a thousand white threads overnight, looking at the civil and military officials in the hall with a sad face, "All the ministers... do you have any plans to destroy this locust and restore peace to the world."

After a while, everyone was looking at their noses and their noses. Even Yi Yin, who was usually very smart, was speechless. Cheng Tang sighed lightly, "Well... Maybe this is the number of days. My son Lu provoked a war and drove out the emperor, causing God to bring disasters and locusts. Then my son Lu would commit sins, sacrifice to Haotian, welcome the emperor back, and exchange peace in the world."

Cheng Taung paused and left tears and said, "Zi Lu thanked all the ministers for their assistance and the princes' support. Please ask everyone to go there, either hide in the mountains or tie me to see the emperor, so that the Xia Dynasty's aftermath investigation..."

A group of civil officials tearfully advised, "Shang Hou is not allowed, how can we collapse in the middle of the journey before great achievements are achieved? I hope that Shang Hou will not think this again."

Yi Yin calmly stroked his long beard and advised him, "I think that the Shang man can sacrifice to Haotian in person, but he can't do this after he issued a crime and welcomed him back to Xia."

"What the people say is that the faults of Zilu have caused the anger of God. What is the prime minister's opinion that I can teach me and all the ministers to calm the people's mouths?" Cheng Tang frowned and looked at Yi Yin.

Yi Yin smiled calmly and said, "The so-called emperor has no virtue, and he will lose the world. The people have not yet gained wisdom. There are few heroes. They are all people who follow the crowd. They are easily deceived by villains. There is no need to do anything. It is feasible to worship Haotian."

"Since Jiazi, there have been rumors that King Kong Jia, a descendant of Xia, was entrusted by a dream by a god. The gods claimed to be the master of the way of heaven, defeated the gods of heaven, and received the assistance of all saints, and called him the God of God who ruled the gods of heaven, and then became the emperor. After that, the heavens were above the human king, and the human king was the son of the heaven king, so he was known as the emperor.

The emperor's words are filled with heavenly constitution and helps God control all spirits and ghosts in the human world. With a single command of the emperor, he can also command the gods of mountains, rivers and lakes, and order the residences to be honored as gods..." Yi Yin avoided talking, but slowly told a bunch of secret knowledge to popularize the science of everyone.

After a while, seeing everyone suddenly realize, Yi Yin clasped his fists and said, "I think that the reason why God caused disasters is because Shang Hou did not respect Haotian. I advised him: Please ask Shang Hou to immediately prevail the emperor and establish a large altar to worship God. As for the disaster, the emperor ordered the ghosts and gods to live in the land with one word. You can tell God, ask God to condemn the gods to help eliminate locusts, or order the residence to catch and kill locusts in the land..."

When the civil and military officials heard this, Ji Yu and others felt that it was reasonable. They all bowed their bodies and knelt down and bowed three times to persuade them to say, "I ask the Shang Dynasty to advance to the emperor and rule the mountains, rivers and the seas..."

Cheng Tang himself was confused. Yi Yin was so clever. He was about to discuss the edict of guilt, but who would have thought that he would make a fuss about Yi Yin and change it to a matter of persuading him to advance.

Cheng Tang pursed his lips and said modestly, "Zi Lu is not as talented as the Prime Minister and you, and his martial arts are not as good as the generals. What kind of achievements can be called to the emperor? I dare not steal the robbery or expect it. Don't persuade me..."

Everyone advised him three times, but Cheng Tang kept refusing him and refused. Everyone couldn't. When they saw Cheng Tang's resolute look, he didn't look like a trick of making three words and three words. Instead, he really refused.

Seeing this, Yi Yin smiled and shook his head without saying a word, just greeted everyone and retreated...

Although the court meeting did not agree on this matter on that day, Yi Yin's words spread, and the increasing momentum was not as fierce as the locusts were surging. It was all rumored that Cheng Tang would sacrifice to the emperor of the Heavenly Emperor, and the world knew about this matter less than half a month.

Just when Cheng Tang didn't know whether to be happy or sad, the princes flocked to their advice. The good guys, like discussing, wrote dozens of letters of persuasion a day, from west to east, from south to north, or a day or later.

The princes advised the advice of the emperor to speak the same way, and they all said that the emperor had no virtue, and they should replace him. I don’t care about the others. Anyway, I, a certain country, is the strongest backing for you, Cheng Tang, and others have no virtue. If you want to be the emperor, I, XX, will not agree. Cheng Tang, just go to the throne, and I firmly support you.

By mid-autumn October, the locust plague was not resolved, but the emperor was persuaded to advance and the struggle for the success of the dragon became more and more intense. The Xia Hou was shocked and frightened. Before the Jiuyi could expect, hundreds of princes under the rule of the states joined forces to cheer, and each condemned the civil servants and praised Cheng Tang's merits for Cheng Tang to win the hearts of the people.

For a moment, the wind and clouds surging, and the purple star shone brightly overnight. All the moralists in the mountains could see that the earthly ruler had changed and wanted to go down the mountain to help the new master.

At that time, the heaven and earth all have the same power, and the so-called hearts of the people are the hearts of the princes and nobles. At present, the princes and nobles have no strength to promote the merits of Cheng Tang in the territory. The foolish people gradually began to praise Cheng Tang, and compared it to the Five Emperors of Yao and Shun, and called Cheng Tang a rare sage king in the past. For a time, the scenery of heaven and earth was followed.
