Chapter 13 Giving Way to the City

"Whew, lightly, Miss, I'm here for meat. The full-text ad-free novel is all on Aishang Novel Network biquge.info" Hu Wei looked at Huang Jinfeng with tears in his eyes, hoping that such an expression would make Huang Jinfeng stop torturing his broken body.

Hu Wei should have thought that the little vinegar jar of Huang Jinfeng was angry again.

Alas, didn't you just look at Chen Mengjie a few more times, and didn't do anything else. Besides, can you blame me, you have to blame her figure for being too hot. How many soldiers have watched it, I don't watch it, it's not a loss.

The four maids looked distressed as Huang Jinfeng treated Hu Wei's wounds, but they didn't dare to say anything. Ximen Xue snickered on the side with a gloating face, it seemed that she admired Hu Wei's miserable appearance.

Du Changwei smiled bitterly on the side, and Chen Mengjie was thrown on the floor, and Jebe was in charge of taking care of it.

This is the current situation in the City Lord's Mansion.

After Lin Gui's army stopped attacking, the troops of Anrong and Chihe also suspended the siege. Hu Wei's efforts to turn the tide finally stopped the war at the moment before the city of Baoning was broken.

Of course, there is also Chen Mengjie's credit for this, if she didn't want to catch Hu Wei alive, the current situation would have to be reversed.

In this battle, the city of Baoning suffered heavy losses, more than 20,000 people were killed in the battle, and the number of minor and serious injuries added up to more than 50,000 people, and the number of houses damaged has not been counted for the time being, but it is believed that it will not be too little.

However, now the relationship between the soldiers and civilians in the city is very stable, after all, they won this battle. They used the 300,000 miscellaneous army and the 200,000 most elite troops to fight for half a day, and they can achieve such results, which is something to be proud of.

In this battle, Hu You's popularity among the soldiers and civilians of Baoning City became even higher, and everyone knew that it was almost Hu Wei who brought victory to Baoning City. And they don't know that their hero is being tortured at this time. Of course, even if they knew, they just smiled, and they couldn't control the matter of their wives bullying their husbands. It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, let alone them.

Huang Jinfeng snorted coldly and said, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with my craftsmanship?"

Hu Wei shook his head again and again: "No, no, I'm very satisfied, very satisfied, but it would be better if I could light it." ”

Huang Jinfeng stabbed Hu Wei's left shoulder with his hand and said, "Like this?"

"Hmm" Hu snorted sullenly, and said with a smile: "Tap, tap." ”

Huang Jinfeng glared at Hu Wei and said, "You don't have a long memory." ”

Secretly rubbing the wound for Hu Wei, Huang Jinfeng glanced at the four maids with a heartache on the other side and said, "Let your maid help you deal with it, Miss Ben is tired and needs to take a rest." ”

Huang Jinfeng stepped aside as he spoke, and sat down on the chair. In the battle just now, she also consumed a lot of her body, and her whole body was too tired. But if she hasn't seen Hu Wei's injury in person, where can she rest her mind. Don't look at Hu Wei screaming miserably, in fact, she didn't do anything to Hu Wei, the bone always hurts, she just secretly pinched Hu Wei a few times at the same time as the bone. Who told him to hug Chen Mengjie in front of so many people. Although that was for strategic purposes.

Seeing that Huang Jinfeng was finally willing to let go of Hu Wei, the four girls of Xuanri hurriedly ran up. Looking at Hu Wei from the side, they were really distressed.

Hu Wei, who fell into the flowers, was secretly happy in his heart, this is the treatment of the emperor. The pair of hearts medicinate the wound, bandage, and help the girl, and blow a few mouthfuls of fragrance from time to time, oh, cool.

"Brother Hu Wei, Brother Hu Wei, you are really amazing, Jiang'er wants to worship you as a teacher. With a crisp child's voice, a little boy ran in.

Another soft voice also agreed to sound in the hall: "Jiang'er, run slowly, don't fall." ”

Hu Wei poked his head out of the flowers and saw that it was Ru Xue and Xiao Dujiang's mother and son. Xiao Dujiang ran in front, Ru Xue followed behind, and there was a soup cup in his hand.

Hu Wei nodded to Ru Xue and smiled at the little boy: "Hey, it's our little Du Jiang here." ”

Du Jiang saw that Hu Wei was covered in blood, and said with concern: "Brother Hu Wei, are you injured?"

Hu Wei made a tough guy look, straightened his chest and said: "It's okay, the eldest husband protects the family and the country, and leaving some blood is nothing." ”

After saying this, Hu Wei collapsed again and said: "But it really hurts, so Xiao Dujiang has to practice hard to kill the enemy and protect his mother in the future."

"Well, Jiang'er knows. ”

Ru Xue is her wife after all, and seeing that Hu Wei is treating her wounds naked, she is embarrassed to come over. Yuanyuan put the soup cup in his hand on the table, and said, "Young marshal, this is ginseng snow lotus soup, I heard that it is good for wounds, you can drink some later." ”

Every time Hu Wei sees this soft woman, he always has a special emotion in his heart. Maybe it's because he's seen too many female generals and soldiers, this watery woman makes him very comfortable.

"Yes, thank you, ma'am. ”

Ru Xue shook her head and said: "A little soup is nothing compared to the young marshal to protect the family and the country, and to shed blood and be injured." If you want to say thank you, it should be me. ”

Ru Xue said, called Xiao Du Jiang and said, "Jiang'er, the young marshal still has business, let's go." ”

At the military meeting, Hu Wei asked: "Zhu Daneng, how is the situation in terms of herbivory, and how long can it be supported?"

After Chen Mengjie was captured, the Three Kingdoms Alliance stopped attacking the city, but they did not withdraw, but surrounded the city of Baoning. Now the supply of goods to the outside of Baoning City has been interrupted.

Before the war began, Zhu Daneng was sent by Hu Wei to take care of logistics resources. Regarding Hu Wei's arrangement, Zhu Daneng not only did not feel despised for Hu Wei, but was very convinced by Hu Wei.

Because Zhu Daneng knows that war is actually about logistics. If there is no food left, then no matter how powerful the army is, it will not be able to withstand it for a few days. At the beginning, he also wanted to remind Hu Wei to pay attention to this, but he didn't expect Hu Wei to directly take this aspect of logistics from Du Changwei's hands and send him to take care of it. It's an absolute trust. In order to repay Hu Wei's trust, Zhu Daneng took out twelve points of care and strictly controlled the entry and exit of every grain. Make every effort to ensure the stability of logistics.

Zhu Daneng stood up and replied: "I have already gathered all the grain in the whole city, divided it into ten places, and heavily guarded it. Since Lord Du had already made some pre-war preparations, the grain and grass were quite sufficient, and in the absence of foreign aid, it could be supported for three months. ”

Zhu Daneng said, and the tone of his words changed: "But the problem of items is very strict." Now there are nearly 50,000 wounded in the city. Even if the minor injuries can be left without medication, there are 20,000 seriously injured who must be medicated.

In addition, because of the war, many people's houses were destroyed, and many people demolished their houses in order to get the bricks, stones and planks used to defend the city.

Now these people have no place to live, they all sleep on the streets. It's okay for a day or two, but if it's a few more days, I'm afraid many people will get sick. ”

Hu Wei nodded and said, "Well, this is a problem, we can't let the city's citizens shed blood and tears." It's impossible to build a house now, and you do this, and you keep a record of all the damage to the house. In particular, those who demolished their houses to defend the city should be recorded in detail.

In addition, contact those restaurants and inns, people who have a lot of houses at home, whether it is rent or borrow, and ask them to give up all the extra rooms. Discuss as much as possible, and if you ask for money, you will sue them, and after the war, you will be given by the Immortal Bird Legion, and if you don't want money, you will be issued a bronze medal of the Immortal Bird. ”

Zhu Daneng asked, "What if you don't eat soft and hard?"

Hu Wei's eyes were cold, and he said, "Then detain him and investigate his collaborator." ”

Zhu Daneng nodded knowingly, now it's wartime, there is not so much affection to talk about, and you don't want money and fame, that is, you are working against the troops, no matter if you have any problems, you can talk about it when you are arrested.

Hu Wei rubbed his head and said in a deep voice: "This medicine problem can't be conjured out of thin air." By the way, is there garlic in the city?"

"Garlic?" Zhu Daneng was a little stunned, does this garlic have anything to do with medicine?

Zhu Daneng scratched his head a little and said: "This garlic is not a strategic material, I haven't counted it." ”

An officer from the Baoning City side spoke: "Young marshal, I know this. ”

Receiving Hu Wei's signal, he continued: "Before the battle, a caravan brought a batch of garlic to our Baoning City, and it should still be in the city. ”

Hu Wei asked, "How many?"

The city official replied: "I don't know exactly how many there are, there are about ten cars." ”

Hu Wei calculated in his heart, with the conventional capacity, a car is about 1,000 catties, and more than 10 cars are almost 10,000 catties, which is basically enough.

Hu Wei said: "You are responsible for this matter, find the caravan, buy all his garlic, and then hand it over to Zhu Daneng for unified management." In terms of price, try to talk about it, don't let people lose money, go for it. ”

"Yes. And the ruler of the city immediately took the command and departed. Although he didn't know what Hu Wei was using garlic for, he chose to believe that Hu Wei would not do that useless thing.

After solving the garlic problem, Hu Wei asked a few things in a row. They are a series of agricultural and sideline products such as high liquor, ginger, chili, pepper, pepper, lard, etc., and the replies are very satisfactory. Although the stock is not much, it is enough for a while.

After that, Hu Wei personally taught Zhu Daneng how to make garlic paste, chili paste and other trauma substitutes. These are some commonly used local methods, although they are not comparable to real drugs, but they all have certain curative effects. The Immortal Bird Legion has a professional medicine supply team, and as long as it lasts for a month, all these problems can be solved.

What made Hu Wei more reassuring was the food problem, and there was three months of food, which was enough to support the arrival of the Immortal Bird Legion. Now that the city of Baoning has started a war, Hu Wei believes that as long as there is no town with a grudge against it, it will not dare to prevent the Immortal Bird Legion from crossing the border. As for Hu Wei's order for the immortal bird to gallop to help, Hu Wei knew that it was unlikely that those towns would send troops to help. What Hu Wei wanted was not for them to send troops to help, but as an excuse, and after the matter of Baoning City was over, he would use this excuse to clean up all those disobedient towns.

The towns that Hu Wei pointed out on the announcement happened to be between Baoning City and Langtian. Either you don't play, or you can play big. Hu Wei wants to take this opportunity to take all the forces between Langtian and Baoning City under his control, and open up a passage to Baoning City in the north and Langtian in the south. After that, he took the opportunity to find a way to connect Shangdong Wangcheng, and then most of Yanzhou would be in his hands. At that time, there will be dozens of towns and tens of millions of city residents, not to mention the imperial capital, even in the world, there will be a place for his immortal birds.

Of course, this is just a plan, and it is not so easy to realize it, you can't become a fat man by eating one bite, Hu Wei knows that he still has a long way to go.

"Young Master, you're back. The time is just right, and it's almost time to eat. Fuchen smiled happily when he saw Hu Wei coming back.

Hu worries in the past few days, taking advantage of the temporary absence of war, he goes out early and returns late every day. In addition to personally inspecting the city defenses and observing the movements of the enemy army, Hu Wei also focused on visiting the wounded and reassuring the people. If you find any problems, you will be ordered to deal with them on the spot. These actions gave Hu Wei a higher prestige among the people of Baoning City.

Hu Wei laughed and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, Xiao Fuchen, what is delicious today?"

Hu Wei is teasing Fuchen, Baoning City is besieged, and the things outside can't be transported in with Ben, and there are only a few staple foods that come and go. In the past ten days, it has not been changed.

Fuchen smiled sweetly: "Eat noodles and buns today." "Although he doesn't eat well, Fuchen is always happy every day. It never seemed to be a nuisance.

Hu Wei pinched Fuchen's nose and said with a smile: "What kind of stuffing is the bun?"

"I know," Xiao Du Jiang jumped out of nowhere, "It's flour filling." ”

"Hahaha"

The three of them all laughed, it was originally a steamed bun, but it wasn't flour filling.

After dinner, Hu Wei, Wu Xuewen, Xuanri, and Ximen Xue handled official business in the study. In fact, most of them are Wu Xuewen and the three of them, and Hu Wei is not very good at administration, he is mainly learning. He is a good person, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and he won't force everything to take care of him. This is not a matter of running the rivers and lakes, it is a matter of survival for hundreds of thousands of people, but it is not a joke. Every hasty decision is disastrous for the people.

"Boom"

A knock on the door interrupted the discussion between Hu Wei and Wu Xuewen, and Hu Wei and Wu Xuewen glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. At this time, the only one who will come here is the city guard Du Changwei. He hadn't been here in days, and I didn't know what he was doing here today.

used gestures to stop Xuanri, who was about to open the door, Hu Wei personally opened the door for Du Changwei and invited him in.

After Du Changwei sat down, he held the tea in his hand and was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. Hu Wei sat on the side and didn't bother him.

Really, Du Changwei, the city guard, is the best official among so many officials Hu Wei has ever seen. First of all, Du Changwei is not greedy. He is not greedy, his wife has been dead for more than ten years, and he has not thought about marrying another one. He is not greedy for enjoyment, not to mention that his food and accommodation are relatively simple, he is a city guard, and there is only one person who is a wet nurse and a miscellaneous person for Xiao Dujiang at home, and he usually cooks mostly as a daughter-in-law Ruoxue. Seeing him like this, Hu Wei, who was surrounded by four maids, felt embarrassed.

These two points alone are difficult to see in the officialdom of the Mandala Empire today. What made Hu Wei even more surprised was that Du Changwei actually secretly divided half of his money to help the people in the city who were living in difficulty. This is not a show, but a real thing, and Hu Wei is also a very coincidental opportunity to know that there is such a thing.

How can an alternative like him not be excluded in the officialdom. If it weren't for the fact that his father was Rijkaard's earliest subordinate, he had saved Rijkaard's life many times, and finally died to save Rijkaard, and his name was clearly recorded on the imperial hero book, and the royal family had always taken care of him, he probably wouldn't have known where he was stepped on.

These are everyone's ethics issues, if it's just these, Hu Wei will only think that Du Changwei is a good person. But when the Three Kingdoms Alliance attacked Baoning City, Du Changwei was able to hand over all the power without reservation, so he had to make Hu Wei admire.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Hu Wei thinks that he can't do this. Even if he knew that there was a person who was ten times stronger than him, it was impossible for Hu Wei to hand over the Immortal Bird Legion to that person to take full command. He can't do it, I believe that few people in the world can do it, but Du Changwei in front of him has already done it.

Du Changwei pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "Young marshal, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Hu Wei glanced at Wu Xuewen a few times, and asked, "Do you need to talk about it alone?"

Du Changwei shook his head and said, "No need." ”

Hu Wei nodded, added some tea to Du Changwei, and said, "Okay, then let's have a good chat." ”

Du Changwei said: "The young master has been here for twenty days, and he must have a certain understanding of Baoning City. These days, I see what the young marshal has done, and the people in the city also see it. I want to hand over this Baoning City to the young marshal, but I don't know if the young marshal is willing to accept it. ”

"What?" Hu Wei stood up suddenly, and with his calmness, Du Changwei was also shocked.

Xuanri was also moved at the same time, and asked the others with their eyes in disbelief, and it was clear that he had heard correctly.

What does it mean to receive? That's not to hand over the wartime power to Hu Wei as it is now, but to hand over this Baoning City to Hu Wei's hands, and he patted ** and left.

Du Changwei nodded seriously and said: "The young marshal heard correctly, I just want to hand over this Baoning City to the young marshal." I've been thinking about this for many days. This Baoning City is located at the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

This time, it was with the help of young marshals that this situation was temporarily achieved. The young marshal leaves the day, what should the old man do.

I know my own business, and with my ability, I can't hold on to the city of Baoning. For the sake of the people in the city, and for my own sake, I will ask the young marshal to take over the city of Baoning. ”
