The candles flickered, and the dancing flames cast a dull golden glow on the room.

Liu Wei slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was still very hazy. In the fog, he felt a chill on his forehead, and a petite figure was sitting beside him, gently wiping his forehead with a linen cloth dipped in water.

"Huanniang......" Liu Wei twisted his neck and gently called Tao Huanniang, who was helping him wipe his forehead.

Hearing Liu Wei speak, Tao Huanniang's petite body shook suddenly, and the hand that was wiping his forehead was retracted, looking at Liu Wei who woke up with a happy face, and shouted softly with a slightly trembling voice: "You are awake!" ”

Relying on the dim candlelight, Tao Huanniang's red eyes were glowing with a faint peach under the light reflection.

"How long did I sleep?" Turning his head to look at the dark roof reflected in the candlelight, Liu Wei asked weakly.

"It's been three days and three nights!" Tao Huanniang pursed her lips, her eyes were redder, and she said with a little choked in her words: "The slave family still thinks it's ......."

"You thought I wouldn't wake up, did you?" Turning his head sideways at Tao Huanniang and smiling slightly, Liu Wei looked very tired and asked her, "What about Xu Shu and them?" ”

"The military division has already led the two generals Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to lead the army south!" put the linen cloth that wiped Liu Bian's forehead in the basin next to him and soaked it, Tao Huanniang wrung out the linen cloth and wiped the cold forehead for Liu Bian, and said to him: "Only Brother Yuanfu is still in the city." ”

Hearing that Xu Shu led the team south, Liu Wei knew that he must have led the army to loot Dong Zhuojun's baggage and rescue the people who were driven to Chang'an by Dong Zhuojun.

Lying on his back on the cover for a while, Liu Wei forced himself to sit up, but Tao Huanniang hurriedly reached out to support his back and helped him sit up.

Helping Liu Wei sit up, Tao Huanniang walked aside, picked up Liu Wei's clothes, and helped him put them on his body.

"Someone!" With clothes on his body, Liu Wei wanted to stand up, but his legs were as weak as if he had no bones, and he was unable to support his body at all.

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei's shout fell, a personal soldier hurriedly opened the door and walked into the house, standing not far from him with his fists in his fists.

"Invite General Zhou Cang!" Seeing him wake up, he waved his hand to the pro-soldier who couldn't hide his joy, and Liu Wei commanded softly.

"No!" The soldier answered, turned and walked out of the room.

As soon as the pro-soldiers who received the order came out of the room, they closed the door, and several other pro-soldiers on the side hurriedly asked him with concern: "Your Highness is awake?" Can you look good? ”

"Good! Okay! The soldier nodded in response, and said to a few companions: "Miss Tao's three days and three nights of undressed care, how can it be bad!" Brothers, I'll get busy first, and I'll talk about it later! ”

Liu Wei's bunk was not far from the door, and although the voices of the soldiers were not loud, he heard every word clearly.

"You were here all the time when I was unconscious?" Looking at Tao Huanniang's red, slightly pale face with red eyes, Liu Wei frowned slightly and asked her softly.

"The soldiers who take care of you are all rough men, and the slave family is afraid that they will not take good care of them......" Tao Huanniang pursed her lips, lowered her head shyly, a flush appeared on her pale face, and she answered softly.

"Thank you!" Looking at Tao Huanniang, who was full of shame, Liu Wei felt a burst of unpleasantness in his heart, he smiled at Tao Huanniang reluctantly, and said to her softly: "Go and rest, don't be tired." ”

Liu Wei just inadvertently said something of concern, but in Tao Huanniang's ears, she felt that her heart was warm, and two tears were already rolling in her eyes.

"Hmm!" Tao Huanniang raised her sleeves and gently wiped her tears, bowed to Liu Wei, picked up the basin, and whispered to him: "Remember to rest more, don't go out again, it's cold outside......"

"Clear!" Liu Wei smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded slowly.

Liu Wei promised not to go out again, and Tao Huanniang blessed him again, and exited the room with a basin of water.

Watching Tao Huanniang walk out of the water basin with it, Liu Wei felt a burst of unpleasant taste in his heart.

No matter how emotionally numb he is, it is self-evident what kind of affection a woman can put into him for three days and three nights without untying her clothes.

"Your Highness!" was sitting on the bunk cover in a daze, and a personal soldier's voice came from the door: "General Zhou is here!" ”

"General Zhou, please come in!" Liu Wei's body was still very weak, and he didn't have much confidence to speak, and after saying a word, he already felt a little tired all over.

The door was pushed aside by the soldiers, and Zhou Cang, who was dressed in general's clothes and armor, strode into the house, stopped two or three steps away from Liu Bian, and asked Liu Bian with both hands in fists: "Your Highness is in good health?" ”

"That's it!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, bent down and gently patted the ground next to the cover, and said to Zhou Cang: "Yuanfu come and sit, this king has something to tell you." ”

Walking to Liu Bian's bed, Zhou Cang pulled a straw mat from the side, knelt on the straw mat, and without waiting for Liu Bian to speak, he first said: "Your Highness thinks that you should know that the Lu Dao military division has led the army to cross the river to the south. ”

"When did they leave?" Looking at Zhou Cang, who was kneeling beside him, Liu Wei asked him, "How many soldiers and horses did you bring?" ”

"I left in the early hours of yesterday morning, bringing 3,000 men with me!" Liu Wei asked when Xu Shu and the others would leave, Zhou Cang bowed and said to him: "All the Huainan military headquarters rescued by His Highness from outside the Tiger Prison Pass have been taken away, and the military division has selected the elite of our army this time, but all the cavalry has stayed in Dayang. Before leaving, the military advisor had said to the last general that if His Highness woke up and informed His Highness, it would be more than a month or less than half a month, and they would return! ”

"It's not the right time to get sick!" Frowning slightly, Liu Wei sighed lightly, and then suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhou Cang: "Find out all the linen and brocade in the treasury, find dyers to dye them red, and leave those that can't be dyed, and reward meritorious soldiers in the future!" ”

"The military advisor has already ordered to go down!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Zhou Cang said to him: "All the cloth in the treasury that can be dyed red has been sent to the dyeing workshop, and the cloth that cannot be dyed has also been sealed. There are still many confiscated copper coins in the treasury, and the granary is heavily guarded, even if someone besieges the city, it can support it for a year and a half. The blades recovered from the soldiers were also handed over to the blacksmiths in the city, who were ordered to make long swords......"

"Bring me a piece of paper and pen and ink!" Hearing that the recovered blades had been handed over to the blacksmith, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang: "I'll draw some patterns, and you let the blacksmith build the blades according to the patterns." ”

"No!" Zhou Cang responded, turned around and shouted to the door: "Go get paper and pen and ink!" ”

The soldiers guarding the door answered, and after a while, they took back the pen, ink and paper.

Two soldiers walked into the house with paper and pen and ink, and the other soldier who followed them entered the house and moved the low table in the room to Liu Wei's bed.

The soldier holding the paper spread the paper flat on the low table, and the soldier who took the pen and ink pinched the piece of ink and gently grinded it on the inkstone after setting up the pen and ink.

Sitting cross-legged on the cover, Liu Wei turned to face the low table, picked up the brush, and dipped it in the inkstone.

Carrying the brush, Liu Wei pondered a little, and drew some strange lines on the paper.

With the rotation of Liu Wei's wrist, a blade that looked like a long knife jumped onto the paper, but the weapon on the painting had a simpler head, and the handle was much shorter than the handle of the long knife.

"The blade of the knife is two feet long, and the handle of the knife is three feet!" After drawing this blade, which looked strange in Zhou Cang's eyes, Liu Wei said to him: "This kind of knife is called Pu Dao, which can be used in foot combat and horse station, and it is better than long swords and short spears. ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei drew another spear on the paper and said to Zhou Cang: "The whole army will ban short spears and make other spears." The tip of the spear was made of fine iron, and the shaft of the spear was two feet and five feet, and at the bottom of the shaft, a bronze sheath was covered, and the sheath should be round, so as not to hurt the Tongze behind him during the battle. ”

After taking the sample of the weapon drawn by Liu Bian, Zhou Cang stood up, hugged his fists and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, rest, I will arrange this in the end!" ”

Nodding to Zhou Cang, watching him leave the room, Liu Wei waved his hand at the three pro-soldiers standing aside.

The two soldiers picked up the pen and ink and inkstone that Liu Wei had just used, and exited the room, while the other soldier bent down and made a gesture to move the low table next to the cover.

"Stay here!" Waving his hand at the soldier, Liu Wei stopped him from moving the low table.

The soldiers responded, and they also bowed down and retreated.

After saying a lot of words and drawing two simple patterns, Liu Wei was already tired. He folded his hands around him and slowly lay down on his back.

A day earlier, Xu Shu had led 3,000 elites south, and according to the distance, they should have reached the bank of the Yellow River at this time.

With Xu Shu here, Liu Wei was not worried about the outcome of the battle, what he wanted to do most at this moment was to prepare more military supplies in Dayang City before Xu Shu returned from leading the army, and train this army into a strong force that could fight habitually.

But all of these require him to have a strong physique. And at the moment, it is very difficult for him to even get up, so how can he personally train officers and soldiers?

His mind was full of how to develop military strength, but his stomach was "cooing" at this time.

Hearing the sound of his stomach, Liu Wei smiled self-deprecatingly, and slept for three days and three nights, at most Tao Huanniang could only feed him some liquid food, if he didn't feel hungry, it would be a little strange.

Feeling hungry, Liu Wei was about to call the soldiers at the door to get some food for him, but the closed door was opened, and Tao Huanniang walked in with a pottery bowl full of hot minced meat.
