Yu Guozhen took the hot soup and took a sip of it, and after falling asleep, he was able to drink this hot broth, which was of great help to relieve fatigue.

"Give this kid a bowl too." Seeing the drooling child on the side, Yu Guozhen smiled: "He is a little hero, if it weren't for him, we might have let a big fish escape." ”

Known as the "big fish", it is the King of Chaotian, in the battle yesterday, he was seriously wounded, and was pierced into the shoulder by the tassel spear thrown by Qi Niu, and luckily did not die. It was the most loyal subordinate who fought to the death to rescue him, but at this time he was unable to organize a battle, and he was unable to escape from Lu'jiang City, so he found a place to hide.

If you can hide until the injury is a little better, and then change into clothes and go out of the city, this is all the escape plan of the Chaotian King. But unfortunately, a child who survived the slaughter of the city by the rogues was driven by hunger, and his already rough escape plan fell through.

As soon as the boy took the bowl, he devoured it, and there was some foam in the broth, so oily that he seemed to have a hand growing out of his stomach, and he wanted to grab the soup in the bowl. In just two blinks of an eye, a bowl of broth is completely gone.

Yu Guozhen looked at Qi Niu beside him with a smile: "Old Niu, this kid is good, and he has a bit of your style." ”

Qi Niu smiled innocently, his whole body was now wrapped in white gauze, and in continuous battles, he was the first to take the lead, so he suffered the most injuries on his body. Fortunately, he was wearing heavy armor and had rough skin and thick flesh, all of which were flesh wounds that would heal after a while.

Yesterday's war was also the most tragic battle since the establishment of Jiawei, and Yu Guozhen bet all his bets in order to win this battle. He won a complete victory, but his losses were not small, Qi Niu was all wounded, Ye Wuya's injuries were not less than Qi Niu's, and the number of family guards killed exceeded thirty, almost all of them became wounded soldiers.

Since the beginning of the war, Yu Guozhen's loss of household guards has been close to 80, and the loss of more than 100 people has been disabled due to injuries. Fortunately, with alcohol disinfection and skilled surgical first aid, the weather was cold, so that most of the wounded avoided infection and there were no large-scale casualties.

Fighting here, Yu Guozhen understands that his guards have reached the limit, and now the successive victories have made everyone forget their losses, but if they continue to fight, they find that a quarter of the people around them are gone, so the morale will fade, and Yu Guozhen's undefeated aura will be shattered.

After the war, it was necessary to replenish a group of personnel, and this matter must be done immediately, otherwise there will be a shortage of manpower.

Thinking of this, Yu Guozhen smiled and said, "Give this kid another bowl!" ”

It took the boy only two blinks to swallow the bowl of broth, but when the third bowl was served, he didn't gobble it up any more.

"What's your name?" Yu Guozhen asked.

"If you go back to Gongzi, the villain's surname is Wang, and his name is ...... His name is Ground Monkey. ”

The ground monkey can only be a nickname, looking at his appearance, Yu Guozhen aligned the cow again and said: "Old cow, it is really like you, your name is Niu, his name is Monkey." ”

Hearing his son-in-law's ridicule, Qi Niu was not angry or annoyed, and laughed twice. At this time, he didn't have the courage of a brave man at all, but he really looked like a hard-working old cow.

"The villain doesn't like the name of this monkey either, but that's how the master calls the villain...... The villain is an apprentice in the city. ”

"Learn what?"

"Learn to strike iron."

"It turned out to be a little blacksmith, haha, would you like to come with me?"

Wang Di's monkey's dark eyes blinked: "Childe is a young tiger who is nothing?" ”

Lu'jiang is not far from Wuwei, Yu Guozhen's reputation is also very loud here, and Wang Di Monkey has heard this name not a hundred times but ninety times. The people cursed those evil villains, and even said "go out to meet the young tiger", which shows Yu Guozhen's reputation in the neighborhood.

Yu Guozhen smiled: "It's me, Yu Guozhen." ”

"Yu Gongzi wants to accept villains?" Wang Di Monkey really jumped up like a monkey, but his eyes rolled again: "The villain doesn't like the name Earth Monkey, ask Yu Gongzi to change the villain's name!" ”

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed, and the sound of bangbang was like thunder. Yu Guozhen pulled him up: "Three heads are enough...... If you don't like ground monkeys, then I'll give you a name and call it Wang Landmine! ”

The name was also a little weird, but the child was so happy that he turned his head directly: "I have a new name, the name that Yu Gongzi gave me!" I will definitely be as famous as the Hercules Cow, the Nine Rivers Snail God, and the Cold-faced Crow! ”

"Hercules Cow? Cold-faced crows? Yu Guozhen was stunned: "Landmine, you two nicknames...... Is it an old cow and a martial cliff? ”

"It is exactly, others say that Childe has three powerful spirits around him, so he can be invincible, these three spirits are the apprentices of Childe, but Hercules Cow, Nine River Snail God and Cold-faced Crow. Gongzi also named them, Qi Niu, Luo Jiuhe, and Ye Wuya! ”

Yu Guozhen only felt that the sweat on his forehead was about to come out, where is this, this is not acting in "Journey to the West", and three apprentices are also accepted to take their names!

"They also said that the son took the name and gave them mana......" Wang Dilei, who had just got a new name, glanced at Qi Niu carefully, and found that Qi Niu, who had a good temper from the beginning, had green tendons on his forehead at this time, and immediately closed his mouth.

This big man is the legendary Hercules Cow, who can overturn one side of the city wall as soon as he goes over it!

"Two pillars." Yu Guozhen called.

"Hehe, this has nothing to do with villains, such words, except for Tian Boguang's big mouth, no one can make them up." Gao Erzhu stepped forward with a smile and said: "Fortunately, the villain has made little merit, so he didn't become a monster......

"But those rumors say that Yu Gongzi was originally a three-spirit monster who leaned on two pillars......" Wang Dilei said in a low voice.

So the next high two pillars also had blue tendons on their foreheads.

Tian Boguang is notoriously bold and arrogant in the family bathroom, and he is the only one who dares to arrange behind his back, and now he has completely transferred to the second pillar in the dark. Yu Guozhen turned his head to look around, and saw Tian Boguang shrinking his head and moving towards the back of the crowd, this kid's fierce battle yesterday interrupted an arm, and he was wearing a hanging bag around his neck, and he also had a splint on his arm.

"Ahem, I'm not asking who spread this rumor, as long as you don't make me a mouthy monk like Tang Sanzang. You and Tian Boguang's account, you settle it yourself, and Hugh will use it to quarrel with me. Yu Guozhen coughed: "Liukou crossed, there must be a lot of orphans, Erzhu, you immediately let your people move, check those orphans who have lost their parents, if they are completely lost and have no relatives, directly put them away, if there are distant relatives at home, also ask for the opinions of distant relatives." ”

"It's general whether you ask for it or not, if you want to come to our Xiliu Courtyard, even if you have a father and a mother at home, you can't wait for it!" Gao Erzhu said in a low voice, seeing that Yu Guozhen had no other instructions, he retreated, not far away, and saw Tian Boguang dodging over there, he suddenly became angry, and shouted: "Tian Se thief, you guy, be careful with Lao Tzu, you can't control your mouth, you can't control your crotch, be careful of being castrated!" ”

"Wu Ya, I know you didn't rest yesterday." Yu Guozhen called Ye Wuya again, yawning: "How is the harvest?" ”

"Little official, this bastard king has more oil and water than Lao Huihui, but the oil and water are also limited, but he only got 40,000 taels, tsk, this battle is a loss."

Ye Wuya really felt that he had lost, the loss of the Mixed Heavenly King was twice as much as that of the old one, but the gain was less than twice that of the old one. In particular, he returned to the old camp and grabbed hundreds of horses and dozens of sets of armor, which was a bumper harvest, but in the case of the King of Chaotian, he only got about a hundred horses.

This is the result of the fact that the King of Chaotian is not as good as the old Huihui, and the other reason is that the King of Chaotian indulges his subordinates to loot, so although he himself is defeated and captured, most of his men still retain their strength. It's just that when they heard the news that Lu'jiang had been recovered by officers and soldiers, they didn't dare to come to help, so they fled one after another.

After recapturing the Lu'jiang River, Yu Guozhen was connected with Wu'wei, who was currently serving as a wartime base camp, and logistics supplies soon followed. Wu' is Zhizhou Luo Zhimei, and even sent another thousand people, these people learned that they were to serve as auxiliaries for the Wuwei young tiger's family, and their morale was high.

"What about people, how many?" Yu Guozhen asked softly.

Paying such a big price and fighting such a war, Yu Guozhen's purpose is not just tens of thousands of taels of silver. He could have earned tens of thousands of taels of silver by other means, and his purpose was what he was most in need of at present.

Population.

According to the agreement between Yu Guozhen and Shi Kefa, the people of Zhongdu and Anluchi, who had to be coerced by the exiles, were to be exiled to the south, including skilled farmers, craftsmen, and doctors and miscellaneous families. In this way, it not only avoided the imperial court from pursuing them for the crime of helping the Liukou seize the central capital and burn the imperial tomb, but also provided sufficient skilled labor for Yu Guozhen to develop the south.

This is also the only way for Yu Guozhen to obtain the population openly from the imperial court. He estimated that the number of people who were held hostage by the thieves could be as high as 50,000 or 60,000, or even more, and most of them would be dead or scattered in the war, but as long as he could get a fifth, or even a tenth, of them, he would be worth the battle.

You must know that at this time, there are only tens of thousands of people in the entire Qinzhou.

"It's being interrogated and screened, but it's better to leave this matter to Brother Erzhu to be responsible, the villain's subordinates, forcing stolen goods and bribes are all good hands, and it's worse to do anything else."

"If you want to be lazy, okay, you go and transfer everything to Erzhu." Yu Guozhen saw him with a sleepy face: "Then you go and make up for sleep, although there is no big battle, but we have enough spirit, we have to clean up Zhang Xianzhong!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Yu Guozhen looked up and saw Yang Erming with a tense face and Bao Wenda with an excited face coming together.

"Young Master Yu." Yang Erming met Yu Guozhen in an old-fashioned manner, and his face tightened: "Now that the old Hui and the King of Chaotian have been broken, and only one camp of thieves remains, Yu Gongzi thinks, how to break the thieves?" ”
