In fact, the reason why Liu Wei recruited these surrendered troops from Black Wind Village has his own considerations, at present, only relying on the 10,000 people under his command to gain a foothold in Qingzhou, where millions of yellow turbans are entrenched, is tantamount to a fool's dream, so he must continue to accept surrendered troops in order to continue to expand his power.

Moreover, because the original archers of Black Wind Village have surrendered, and their loyalty is not low now, with them as an introduction, these Black Wind Village's surrendered troops are more acceptable.

There is also one of the most important reasons, that is, the next battle may be more intense, after all, the Bai Bo army is extremely loyal, and it is also his hard work, every person who dies is distressed, and he has no feelings behind these new soldiers after all, and it is most suitable to use them as strikers.

There is no need to count this battle, Liu Wei looked at his newly added 3,000 military merit points, and knew that the death toll of both the enemy and us should be 3,000, but the damage system of weapons and baggage did not give a hint, and Cheng Yu needed to count the people to know.

The last rays of the sun at dusk fell on the earth, and the stuffy and scorching breath gradually cooled slightly, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the stumps and severed arms all over the ground, adding a little gloom to the heaven and earth.

The Bai Bo army, which had already collected troops and returned to the camp, each returned to the camp, and the lightly injured person could grit his teeth with the perseverance honed in the harsh training, while the seriously injured person was full of cold sweat and wailing, Liu Wei had already exchanged the [Hemostasis Pill] from the system for the wounded to take it, but he was only 13,000 military merit points, even if they were all used up, they were only worthy of the original veterans, as for the newly descended Black Wind Village bandits, they could only wail endlessly.

"Your Highness, the number of people has been counted." Cheng Yu's face was full of exhaustion, he hurriedly came, and said to Liu Bian: "Our army has more than 500 seriously injured and dead and killed, and more than 1,000 people have been slightly injured, but most of them are recovering after taking the medicine, and it basically does not affect the battle, as for the surrender of the Black Wind Village~"

Cheng Yu said this, his face showed unbearable expression, and continued: "The death toll in Black Wind Village is as high as more than 2,500, and the number of seriously injured is as high as 3,000~"

When Liu Wei heard this, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he understood in his heart why the seriously injured people who surrendered to Heifeng Village were so high, mainly because the equipment he exchanged was not the same as the equipment of the Han Dynasty, so it was said that the spear used by the Baibo Army, in addition to the sharp equipment of the Han Dynasty, also had a jagged blood groove on the blade.

Once pierced into the human body, it can not only quickly bleed, but also cause tearing trauma to the wound, which is not only painful and abnormal, but also extremely difficult to treat in this era of relatively primitive medical skills.

"How many people have been hit hard?" Liu Wei asked in a low voice.

Cheng Yu knew that the so-called heavy injury was the wounded person who was stabbed by a spear, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "There are about 1,000 people with serious injuries in the morning, although it is not enough to die immediately, I am afraid that they will die soon, and the remaining 2,000 people should be able to survive if they can be treated in time." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, if the two thousand people can be treated, it will definitely be a big help for him at present, thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Send people to search for Langzhong within a radius of 100 miles, whether it is a quack doctor or a miracle doctor, all of them are found!" ”

"I understand." Cheng Yu bowed his head slightly.

"By the way, one more thing." Liu Wei's dark eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and he said in a condensed voice: "Regarding Sun Shuang and Zhang Shiping, these two guys must be found as soon as possible, and it is best to do it within the last day or two, so as not to change later." ”

"Wechen understands." Cheng Yu also thinks this way, the Yellow Turban thieves from all walks of life gather in Linzi, naturally they are holding back their strength to occupy Linzi, once it is a long time, if these people negotiate a set of safe plans, it will not be easy to be in the middle of the line.

。。。。。。。。。。

Hanoi District, Lau Bun's Mansion.

He Hou and Tang Ji are talking at night, to be honest, although He Hou and Tang Ji are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but born in the royal family, there are many rules and ordinary people's families, how can they be the same, because the two can not talk often, and now although they have lost power, they can accompany each other day and night, and after more than half a year of getting along, the two are as close as mother and daughter.

Of course, although the two of them are female dependents, their status is there, and they are naturally clear about the emergency in Kwai City, in fact, not only the two of them, with the rush of Cao Cao leading the coalition rescue army, the situation in Hanoi County suddenly became tense.

"After the mother, the situation in Hanoi County is becoming more and more tense, and the husband and the children are very worried about the war." Tang Ji snuggled in He Hou's arms, raised his little face and said with a worried face.

He Hou gently stroked Tang Ji's little face, and said with a slight smile: "Silly boy, we have all survived the threat of Dong thieves in the palace, and the Black Mountain thieves are just a few Yellow Turban remnants, what is there to fear?" ”

Looking at Tang Ji's worried look, He Hou continued to comfort Tang Ji, but after all, as the former queen of the Han Empire, although she was proficient in military affairs, she was immersed in politics all day long, and her eyes were so vicious, how could she not see Liu Wei's current situation, but as Liu Wei's mother, she had to support everything for her children.

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a maid ran in panting, and said in a panic: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, many people suddenly came outside the house, and the people couldn't stop them at all." ”

He Hou's eyes sharpened, and an extremely majestic aura swept over her body, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Who dares to break into my son's mansion?" ”

This maid was just taken in by Liu Wei on the way to escape, and she had never felt a strong coercion on this empress dowager, who seemed to be extremely easy-going on weekdays, and said in horror at this time: "Slaves...slaves don't know, it is said that they seem to be the wealthy families of Hanoi County. ”

"Huh!?" He Hou was stunned for a moment, and then a murderous aura that was extremely inconsistent with her temperament swept through her eyes, and she took a deep breath and said: "Wang Kuang is the Taishou of Hanoi and the minister entrusted by my son, where is he now?" ”

The maid felt the heavier and heavier coercion of He Hou, and her heart was even more frightened, and finally she couldn't even speak, and she was stunned on the spot, at a loss.

He Hou shook his head slightly, waved his hand and said, "Go down, lead them to wait in the main hall, and tell them that the mourning family will arrive later." ”

"Yes." The maid hurriedly walked out.

"Queen Mother, what is the purpose of these people coming to the door?" Tang Ji looked at He Hou in confusion and asked.

"For what purpose?" He Hou smiled coldly and said: "Naturally, for their own affairs, these people dare to threaten our mother and daughter when my son is in crisis, it seems that these people have forgotten the identity of the mourning family!" ”

。。。。。。。。。

The main hall of the residence of King Hongnong.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and there were eight old men sitting in the hall, among which there were spokespersons of the Sima family, the Zhang family, and the Ma family, and these people came for only one purpose, that is, to use the opportunity of Kwai Cheng to make an emergency, and Hanoi County was in danger, so as to coerce He Hou to overturn the tax set by Liu Wei before.

Hanoi County is actually a very strange place in this late Han Dynasty, Hanoi County was not Taishou originally, which means that the tax power of Hanoi County has always been in the hands of these wealthy families, and Wang Kuang took over as the Taishou of Hanoi County and took a profit from them.

Later, Liu Wei came to Hanoi County, and these people learned a lesson, although they showed that they were respectful to Liu Wei, but in fact, they strictly guarded against it and never gave Liu Wei a chance to seize benefits, which also directly led to Liu Wei being unable to get rid of economic troubles, and could only rely on Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and the eldest princess of Yang'an.

And Liu Bian, under the advice of Lei Shu, in the name of King Hongnong, reduced the taxes of the people of Hanoi County, anyway, the money could not reach his hands, and after the tax was reduced, the people of Hanoi County were grateful to Liu Bian, such a good thing, how could Liu Bian not do it, but this also intensified the confrontation between him and the Hanoi family.

。。。。。。。。。

On the official roads all over Hanoi County, the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground and roaring continued, and from time to time a fast horse galloped by, but there was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the people on both sides of the official office, these people were different from the ordinary officers and soldiers, and they were all dressed exactly the same clothes as them.

When will the poor be allowed to ride horses? But they were just small people, waiting for the fast horses to gallop past, and once again buried their heads deeply, working hard to cultivate the fields, praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

The Wang family, a more famous family in Hanoi County, but the Wang family and the Wang family who died in the fire of Huai County are not doctors, they are a family of eunuchs, and their ancestors have passed through the family of Taiwei, but they have begun to decline in this life, but the emaciated camel has a certain right to speak in Hanoi County after all.

In the study, the patriarch of the Wang family was inspecting his youngest son's homework, and suddenly his heart trembled, and he was about to look back, when a cold light passed, his head rose in the air, and the flipped head glanced behind him, but he only saw the back of a subordinate leaving, and his headless body shook and fell to the ground.

And the youngest son of the Wang family was seven or eight years old, and when he saw this, a terrible wolf howl sounded, and the immature children's voice was mixed with the hoarse sound of tearing vocal cords, but when everyone flocked in, they saw a headless corpse and a frightened incoherent young master of the Wang family.

At the same time, such situations were staged in different families at the same time, but the largest of them, the Sima family, the Zhang family, and the Ma family had their own private soldiers and were extremely well guarded, just a few stewards on the periphery who died, but none of them saw the face of the perpetrator, and when they chased out, they saw the people on the street wearing the same clothes as the perpetrator~~

Sima's Mansion, Study,

Sima Fang looked at the bamboo slip in his hand with a solemn expression, this is the news sent by the secret conversation that Sima Clan planted in Hanoi County, which clearly records what happened to each family, that is to say, except for the three major families in Hanoi, all the heads of the family were assassinated at the same time.

"Bump~"

Sima Lang slammed his fist on the table, and his usual elegance was completely gone, only to see him look hideous and said: "Damn, who has such a huge power to assassinate our family at the same time, investigate, must investigate, even if Hanoi County is turned upside down, this kind of wind must not rise, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

For the assassination, anyone in any era is deeply aware of evil, only a thousand days to be a thief but no thousand days to prevent thieves, no one dares to guarantee that they can be safe and sound, especially under the Sima family's strict defenses, and several stewards have died, but imagine how huge the power of the assassin is, thinking of this, Sima Lang couldn't help but fight a cold war in his heart.

Sima Fang looked at his eldest son lightly, and shook his head slightly, his eldest son is still too young, and the person behind the assassination is obvious, but he didn't expect that in a short period of time, this down-and-out King Hongnong would cultivate such a huge amount of energy, so he said in a deep voice: "Boda, recall the representative of my Sima family, we will not participate in this matter." ”

"Father?" Sima Lang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What my father means is that the person behind it is .....;."

Sima Fang waved his hand, interrupted Sima Lang's words, and said in a deep voice: "As the old saying goes, don't be greedy, taxes are the foundation of the imperial court, how can we interfere?" By the way, tell the generals to inform the Zhang family and the Ma family of their father's decision, as for what they think, we can't care. ”

Sima Lang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The child obeys!" ”

。。。。。。。。。

Liu Bian's mansion, main hall.

He Hou was wearing the court clothes that accompanied the Han Son of Heaven when he worshipped the sky, and the majestic momentum of the high position was set off more and more majestic under this decoration, and He Hou at this time was like a high Son of Heaven, staring indifferently at his courtiers.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! When you come to persecute the old man, do you not regard yourself as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, or do you not talk about the mourning family as the queen mother of my Han Dynasty? He Hou majestically glanced at the representatives of the eight families, and scolded: "When the son sees the mourning family today, he will also call the queen mother, and you will wait for the courage to come and persecute the mourning family?" Do you want to rebel? ”

He Hou's voice was not loud, but the representatives of the various families who were bluffed were frightened, they were not the patriarchs of each family, they were just elected representatives, before they came, I thought that Liu Wei and Wang Kuang were no more, He Hou and Tang Ji were just two women, and they took it for granted that it was easy, but they miscalculated, and they forgot that although He Hou lost power, she was also the queen mother today.

However, after a period of fright, the representatives of the various families regained their confidence, although they used to be the queen mother, but now Liu Wei is the king of Hongnong, and he is no longer the former son of heaven, regardless of whether Dong Zhuo's behavior is legal or not, of course they are now admitting things that are beneficial to them.

However, there was a sudden sound of hurried and heavy footsteps outside the door, followed by a whisper, a maid hurriedly ran in, whispered to He Hou, just when everyone was shocked, He Hou first frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "Let him in." ”

In an instant, a burly man strode in, and He Hou recognized this person as one of Liu Bian's guards assigned to her, she didn't know that these people were the famous embroidered clothes of the big man, that is, they were regarded as ordinary guards, but they didn't expect to resolve the crisis so easily in a short period of time, and their hearts sank, it seemed that they didn't know their son more and more.
