On the bank of the small river, hundreds of bloody corpses of Dong Zhuojun were piled up, and not far from Dong Zhuojun's corpse, three or four hundred dead villagers were placed side by side on the flat ground.

Most of the villagers who died were elderly, women and children. Each corpse was covered with blood stains, which had dried up and formed into black lumps that congealed on the corpses. There are many people who die with their eyes open.

Liu Wei squatted in front of a woman's corpse, reached out and gently brushed her eyes, but when his palm stroked, the woman's eyes were still round and refused to close.

Looking at the corpse of the woman lying on the ground, Liu Wei sighed lightly, stood up, and said to the officers and soldiers: "Bury the villagers." ”

A group of officers and soldiers answered and dug a pit not far from the corpses of the villagers.

"What about those corpses?" Many officers and soldiers were digging pits to bury the dead villagers, and Zhou Cang muttered at the body of the slain Dong Zhuojun and asked Liu a question.

"The corpse is left in the field, and it is easy to breed plague after decomposing!" Glancing at Dong Zhuojun's corpse, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly, groaned for a while, and said to Zhou Cang: "They are also acting on orders, so bury them!" ”

Zhou Cang hated Dong Zhuojun who killed the villagers indiscriminately, and he wanted to suggest that Liu Biao burn all the corpses with a fire, but Liu Biao said such a thing, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to sigh lightly, turned around and took a team of soldiers to bury Dong Zhuojun's body.

On the battlefield, no matter which side wins, the officers and soldiers killed by the other side are generally buried.

This is not a sign of humanity, but both sides of the war know that too many corpses are exposed in the wilderness, and once they decompose, it is easy to cause plague and other diseases, and burying the corpses of the enemy is also a protection for their own side.

"Sir......" Liu Wei was frowning, watching the officers and soldiers digging pits to bury the dead villagers, and a weak call came from behind him.

He turned around and saw Tao Hu, whose face was covered in blood and had at least a dozen wounds all over his body.

Tao Hu was holding a blood-stained sword in one hand, barely supporting his body with the support of a villager, standing not far behind him.

"Tao Hu!" Seeing Tao Hu, Liu Wei hurriedly ran over, supported his shoulders with both hands, looked him from head to toe, and saw that the wounds on his body were still bleeding, and hurriedly shouted behind him: "Hurry up and get the herbs!" ”

"Sir......" Liu Wei ran to the front of him, Tao Hu's hand holding the sword loosened, the long sword fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of "choking", he stretched out his blood-stained hands, grabbed Liu Wei's sleeves, and there were two bright red tears on his blood-covered face, choked and said: "I didn't expect that I would still be alive to see Mr." ”

"I'm back!" Holding Tao Hu's shoulders, Liu Wei's eyes also flashed with tears, he sighed lightly, and said to Tao Hu: "You have suffered, the villagers have suffered!" ”

"Sir taught us that when a man lives, he would rather die standing than live on his knees!" Grabbing Liu Wei's sleeves with both hands, Tao Hu choked up and said: "Dong Zhuo asked me to move to Chang'an with me, but the villagers refused, and the thieves in the village began to kill!" We followed the instructions of the master and killed those thieves......"

"Don't say it, I know it!" Reaching out to wrap his arms around Tao Hu's shoulders and holding Tao Hu, who was half a head taller than him, in his arms, Liu Wei raised his face slightly, looking at the clear blue sky, and two lines of tears had involuntarily slid down his cheeks.

Men don't flick when they have tears, but it's not time to be sad!

For what he once said, the villagers of Taojiazhuang would rather die than follow Dong Zhuo to migrate to Chang'an, not only that, but they also drove the villagers of several nearby villages, and their trust in Liu Wei can be said to have reached an unprecedented height.

"Sir!" As soon as he let go of Tao Hu, Liu Wei was about to continue to say something, when a crisp female voice came from behind him.

Hearing a woman calling him, Liu Wei turned his head to look behind him, only to see Tao Huanniang, who was covered in blood, rushing towards him with a firewood knife in one hand.

Seeing Tao Huanniang running towards Liu Wei with a firewood knife, the two soldiers hurriedly greeted her, drawing out their long swords to block her way.

Blocked by two pro-soldiers, Tao Huanniang looked at the figure of the pro-soldiers, with tears in her eyes, and whispered to Liu Wei: "Mr. ......"

"Let her come!" Seeing that it was Tao Huanniang who ran over, Liu Wei waved his hand to the two soldiers who were blocking her way, and ordered the two to retreat aside.

As soon as the soldiers retreated, Tao Huanniang threw away the firewood knife and pounced towards Liu Wei.

Liu Wei didn't expect that Tao Huanniang would be so emotionally out of control, when this weak little village girl threw herself into his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, and her head buried in his chest and cried, his hands were wide open, his face was full of astonishment, and he didn't know whether to take Tao Huanniang into his arms.

After experiencing a killing, although Tao Huanniang did not kill anyone with her own hands, she watched one by one villagers and Dong Zhuojun fall in front of her, and her daughter's heart, which was not very strong, was already on the verge of collapse.

Liu Bian's days in the village, she had a special good impression of Liu Bian, and it was precisely because of this good impression that after Liu Bian and Tang Ji left the village, someone came to the door to propose marriage, and every time Tao Hu asked her opinion, she always silently shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Tao Hu, who knows his sister's thoughts and loves her very much, doesn't want to force her too much. I wanted to wait a few more days, wait for Tao Huanniang to forget Liu Wei, and then choose a good family affair for her, but I didn't expect that before that, Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital would happen.

Throwing herself into Liu Bian's arms, her cheeks felt the temperature of Liu Bian's chest, Tao Huanniang was crying, her small lips kept moving, as if she wanted to say something to Liu Bian, but she couldn't say a word.

With his arms outstretched, he let Tao Changniang cry on his chest for a while, and Liu Wei finally raised his arms and took Tao Huanniang in his arms.

Tao Hu, who was seriously injured, stood aside, silently watching Liu Wei hug his sister, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if this scene had always been waiting for it to happen in his heart.

"Your Highness, this place should not stay for a long time!" was hugging Tao Huanniang, who was still crying, Xu Shu walked to Liu Wei's side and whispered to him: "This battle let that Niu Fu escape in advance, he will definitely return to Luoyang to report to Dong Zhuo, now Dong Zhuo is busy moving the capital, and the control around Luoyang must be extremely strict, our army must enter the mountains and forests as soon as possible, avoid Dong Zhuo Fengrui, in order to be safe!" ”

"Everything is according to the words of the military master!" Holding Tao Huanniang, Liu Wei nodded and said to Xu Shu: "The military advisor will arrange to go!" ”

"No!" Xu Shu answered, turned around and left, arranging for the officers and soldiers and the villagers who were still alive to prepare to enter the mountain.

"Your Highness?" The conversation between Xu Shu and Liu Bian, Tao Hu and Tao Huanniang listened to it very well, and Tao Huanniang even broke free from Liu Bian's embrace, her apricot eyes were round, she looked at Liu Bian with a sad face, and subconsciously muttered.

"Sir...... This is? Tao Hu, who had just received the herbs from a soldier's hand and was smearing them on his body, was also confused, his eyes widened, he stopped wiping the wound with herbs, and looked at Liu Wei in a daze, and only half of the questions he wanted to ask, so he stopped talking, not knowing how to ask.

"The gentleman in your mouth is His Royal Highness the current King Hongnong!" Liu Wei just had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Tao Hu and Tao Huanniang, Zhou Cang, who had arranged for the officers and soldiers to bury Dong Zhuojun's body, walked over, patted Tao Hu lightly on the shoulder, and whispered to him and Tao Huanniang: "Haven't you seen Your Highness soon?" ”

"King Hongnong? Mr? The sudden change made Tao Hu and Tao Huanniang somewhat unacceptable, the brother and sister glanced at each other, and they both looked at Liu Wei blankly, and they forgot to meet Liu Wei according to what Zhou Cang said.

He was also familiar with Tao Hu's brothers and sisters, and seeing that they were stunned and didn't dare to believe this big change, Zhou Cang said with a close smile on the corner of his mouth: "What are your brothers and sisters still doing there?" Could it be that Brother Yuanfu can still deceive you? ”

Zhou Cang reminded again, the brother and sister came back to their senses, Tao Hu endured the pain of the wound, and shouted to the villagers not far away in an extremely weak voice: "Folks, come and meet His Royal Highness King Hongnong!" ”

His voice was so weak that the villagers in the distance couldn't hear it, but the villagers in the distance heard it really.

The villagers who heard Tao Hu's shout looked at each other one by one, and they still didn't understand the situation.

"Xiaomin knocks to see His Royal Highness King Hongnong!" shouted twice to the villagers, Tao Hu pulled Tao Changniang, knelt in front of Liu Wei, and gave him a five-body gift.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! As soon as the Tao Hu brothers and sisters knelt down, Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward and held Tao Hu's arm, wanting to help him up.

"Sir, is it really King Hongnong?" Watching the Tao Hu brothers and sisters kneel and bow to Liu Weixing, an old man from Taojiazhuang whispered a question to a soldier who walked by him.

"Is this still fake?" The soldier turned his head to look at the old man, and said with a smile: "Don't you know who Your Highness is?" ”

"Oops!" Hearing what the soldier said, the old man hurriedly shouted to the villagers on the bank of the river: "Sir is the current King of Hongnong, folks, come and meet the king!" ”

Because Tao Hu was injured, his shouting did not attract much attention, but although the old man was old, he was not injured, and he was still full of anger when he shouted, and the thousands of people who were rescued by Liu Wei all listened to it sincerely.

Hearing that Liu Wei was the king of Hongnong, more than 1,000 villagers "hula", and all of them surrounded Liu Wei.

The soldiers responsible for protecting Liu Wei pressed their swords on the hilts of their swords one by one, and looked around vigilantly at the villagers who surrounded them.

Probably aware of the vigilance of the pro-soldiers, the villagers did not get too close, and rushed to a place five or six steps away from Liu Wei, kneeling on the ground one after another, and the mountain shouted "Long live the king!" ”
