In the middle of the night, Yuan Wei returned to his own line, but found that Xiao Qiao and Xiao Ruoliu had already gotten up and were waiting for him in his room.

Although Xiao Qiao and Yuan Wei have not officially married, everyone can see that this is a matter of time or time, so Xiao Ruoliu has already regarded Xiao Qiao as the main mother and deliberately stammered, Xiao Qiao also likes this clever little girl very much, especially Xiao Ruoliu is still an exotic woman, Xiao Qiao will not have any sense of crisis.

Although this little girl is extremely handsome, when she grows up, she will inevitably bring disaster to the country and the people, and she will inevitably be accepted as a girl in the house by Yuan Wei, but so what? Xiao Qiao had never heard of any foreign woman who could become the wife of a disciple of the family, at most she was a concubine.

Therefore, not long after the two of them met, they were as good as a master and servant who had been together for many years.

Yuan came in and said to the two, "Why did you get up?" Hurry up and go to bed again. ”

"What time is this, still sleeping?" Xiao Qiao glanced at Yuan No, and said coquettishly, "It's dawn." ”

Yuan Wei looked up at the window and found that the eastern sky really showed a trace of fish belly white, so he laughed at himself and said: "I'm so busy and confused, I don't even know when it's dawn." ”

"Don't work too hard, pay attention to your body." Xiao Qiao walked over, helped Yuan Nuo to sit on the couch, rested Yuan Nuo's head on his lap, gently kneaded Yuan Nuo's temples with a soft boneless soft wattle, and motioned to Xiao Ruoliu to boil hot water, ready to soak Yuan Nuo's feet.

However, Yuan was destined to not be able to rest well, and he only enjoyed a moment of warmth in Xiao Qiao's arms, and hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and then Liu Ye's voice sounded outside: "Childe? ”

Yuan Wei sighed. kissed Xiao Qiao's pink face again. Got up and walked out of the bedroom.

Yuan Wei was not the only one standing outside the bedroom, but Liu Ye was not the only one. and Ma Jun, when they saw Yuan come out, the two hurriedly saluted.

Yuan Wei waved his hand and asked Liu Ye: "Ziyang, have the grain, grass, ordnance, farm tools, ploughing cattle and everything been counted?" ”

This time, Zhou Cang, Du Yuan, Pei Yuanshao, and Liao Huaxing hurried to Xincai, not only bringing all the people, but also bringing all the belongings. Yuan Fu carried out a unified reorganization, not only for the sake of unifying the orders of the whole army, but also for the purpose of collecting all the grain, grass and ordnance and implementing unified rationing.

The benefits of rationing, as a modern person, Yuan knows better than anyone else.

Especially in difficult times, rationing is better than any distribution system.

However, in this era, under the control of the wealthy families, almost none of the princes could implement the rationing system, even Cao Cao could not do it. Although Boss Cao is powerful, it is impossible for him to let the wealthy families in the states and counties under his rule obediently donate their money and food. for him to make a unified mix.

If Boss Cao can do this, he will not be troubled by the shortage of military food from time to time.

Of course, Yuan Nuo also engaged in rationing in Runan, because the power of the wealthy families in Runan has disappeared, and Yuan Nuo confiscated the money and food of the Yellow Turban thieves from all walks of life, but it will not attract the corporal clan of the world to attack, if Yuan Nuo does the same in another place, I am afraid that the consequences will be very miserable.

For example, in Lujiang, Yuan Wei didn't dare to do this.

Liu Ye replied while following Yuan Wei outside: "It has been counted, there are more than 14,500 stones of wheat, more than 8,900 stones of millet, more than 100 pieces of armor, more than 200 pieces of intact blades, more than 1,000 pieces of broken blades that need to be repaired, 18 ploughing cattle, and more than 1,000 pieces of farm tools. ”

Listening to these statistics, Yuan Wei was so angry that he almost scolded.

Ni Mei, she is so poor that she is so poor.

More than 100 armor and 200 blades? Counting the broken blades, there are only more than 1,000 pieces, and the top ball is used? The dowry that Xiao Qiao brought out from Qiao's dock was far more than that.

It's not so much a help as a burden, but it's also reasonable, if the yellow scarves in Runan are really oily and watery, Boss Cao will let them go free so far?

It is precisely because he knows that there is no oil and water to be fished on the Runan Yellow Turban, that Boss Cao will turn a blind eye to the various yellow scarves that are close at hand, otherwise, Boss Cao would have pounced on him like a hungry dog.

Yuan asked Liu Ye: "How long can we last if we start to control the supply of rations and implement tuntian?" ”

Liu Ye replied: "Under the rule of Gongzi, there are 8,000 strong men, more than 25,000 old and young women and children, strong men have two liters of rations a day, and the old and young women and children are halved, so they need 40,000 liters of grain per day, which is 400 stones, and the existing grain can be supported for two months at most. Of course, if our military rations are taken into account, there will be no problem in sustaining it until the beginning of spring next year. ”

Yuan Wei nodded, and asked Ma Jun again: "Deheng, have you ever found an iron ore vein near Xia Cai?" ”

Ma Jun shook his head and replied, "Childe, there are no veins near Xia Cai. ”

Yuan Fu sighed, Henan Province in later generations does not seem to have any large-scale iron mines.

If you can't find an iron ore vein, you can't smelt iron on a large scale, you can't smelt iron, you can't build more weapons and armor, and without weapons and armor, the newly formed eight captains will have no way to be armed, and if they are not armed, they can only be used as auxiliaries.

This means that there are still only the original 2,000 elite soldiers under Yuan Wei's command, at most plus Liang Gang's 500 remnants.

Yuan Wei said again: "This means that with our existing strength, it is not enough to stir up the situation in Runan County, is this reasonable?" ”

Liu Ye nodded and said: "Yes, with our existing strength, it is not enough to stir up the situation in Runan, if Gongzi wants to create enough momentum in Runan, he must subdue Liu Bi, Gong Du, Huang Shao and He Yi and He Man brothers, if we can gather more than 100,000 yellow scarves, Cao Cao must pay attention to them." ”

Yuan Wei shook his head and said: "Liu Bigong is afraid that there is little hope, according to the detailed return, they have all been invested in Liu Bei's account, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defect again, I hope Yang Hong can gain something in Gushi, as long as Huang Shao and He Yi and He Man brothers can return to me, it is enough to stir up the situation in Runan." ”

Liu Ye comforted Yuan Wei and said: "Zihui is a good man, and he will definitely not disappoint Gongzi." ”

Yuan Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so." ”

For Yang Hong, Yuan Wei really doesn't have much confidence, in history, this is a well-known minister, yesterday Yuan Wei sent him to Gu Shi to lobby Huang Shao and He Yi He Man brothers, Yang Hong also shirked in every way, until he really couldn't shirk it, so he reluctantly responded to it.

In order to prevent Yang Hong from escaping, Yuan Wei also specially sent Ma Zhong to accompany him.

However, Yang Hong didn't run, and two days later, he really arrived at Gushi.

Yang Hong's guy is not fake, and he cherishes his life very much, but he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, at the critical moment, he is still open-minded, otherwise he would not follow Yuan No, wouldn't it be safer to stay in Lujiang?

For example, now, Yang Hong is planning a feat.

Things have to start in the morning, after Yang Hong arrived at Gushi in the morning, he immediately handed over the form to ask to meet Huang Shao, and Huang Shao was also summoned, but for Yang Hong's solicitation intentions, Huang Shao had an ambiguous attitude, and said that he would wait for He Yi and He Man brothers to arrive before making a decision.

Coming out of Huang Shao's mansion, Yang Hong intuitively felt that there was something wrong.

So Yang Hong took out five hundred gold from the gift money prepared by Yuan Wei to Huang Shao He Yi He Man, and bribed a small leader under Huang Shao with a lot of money, and knew the reason for Huang Shao's ambiguous attitude from the mouth of the small leader, but it turned out that the messenger sent by Liu Bei also arrived in Gushi County.

Moreover, Liu Bei's envoy also brought a handwritten letter from Liu Bi and Gong Du, according to the small leader, Liu Bi and Huang Shao have a shallow relationship, and Gong Du and He Yi and He Man brothers are even more rebellious, so Huang Shao and He Yi and He Man brothers are very likely to accept Liu Bei's solicitation.

When Yang Hong heard it, is this still possible?

As soon as he returned to the inn and summed up with Ma Zhong, Yang Hong thought of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Yang Hong asked Ma Zhong, "Wenli, have you investigated clearly?" ”

"Sir, don't worry, it's all investigated." Ma Zhong replied in a deep voice, "Liu Bei's envoy was settled in an inn in the north of the city by Huang Shao, and even the name of the envoy, I have found out clearly, his name is Jian Yong, there are only six or seven armor soldiers with him, and there is no master, I can solve it alone." ”

"Okay." Yang Hong slammed the knot and said, "Let's do it tonight!" ”

After speaking, Yang Hong told Ma Zhong again: "In addition, you bring all the armor soldiers, there is a way to be a goshawk and a rabbit, and you still need to go all out, not to mention that the outcome of this matter is related to the survival of the Yuan family?" But there is no room for error! ”

"No!" Ma Zhong agreed with a bang and took the order.

Almost at the same time, in the Chengbei Inn, less than a hundred steps away, Jian Yong was writing a letter.

Huang Shao had already verbally agreed to the emperor's solicitation, and Jian Yong was worried that Liu Bei would be in a hurry, so he wanted to repair the book first and order his subordinates to send them back to Pingyu to report the good news to Liu Bei.

Jian Yong finished writing the letter carefully, wrapped it in white silk again, and then raised his head and shouted: "Someone!" ”

"What do you command, sir?" Jian Yong's voice fell, and a strange strong man who had grown up entered the voice.

Jian Yong frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" What about Jane II? ”

"Jane Er? You're talking about him, right? "This strange strong man is naturally Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong smiled, and the left hand behind his back suddenly turned to the front, and there was a human head on his left hand, and there was still blood dripping from the broken neck, and the deceased's brows and faces were also hideous.

Seeing the head of the family, Jian Yong couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately got up and walked away.

However, Jian Yong was a weak Confucian student, how could he escape from Ma Zhong?

Ma Zhong took two strides, and he had already caught up with Jian Yong from behind, first holding Jian Yong's chin with his left hand, and then pressing Jian Yong's head with his right hand, and suddenly twisted it, Jian Yong's neck bone made a click, and then Jian Yong's head was twisted at a strange angle, but Ma Zhong's neck had been broken.
