Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 52
For three consecutive days, Liu Bian and Yu Ji were studying the method of digging the ground and draining water.And the inside and outside of Hongnong City is also busy.Three thousand Xiongnu captives is not a small number, if one is not handled properly, it may cause fire.In addition to Xu Rong's 3000 remnants and defeated soldiers in Hongnong City, there are only [-] people in total, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.Fortunately, Xu Rong knew that the loss of Hangu Pass was no small matter, he was cowardly and afraid of death, he dared not go back to see Dong Zhuo, and knowing Liu Bian's identity, he begged Liu Bian to take him in.Liu Bian naturally couldn't ask for it, he now has few major generals and it's time to employ people, so he readily agreed.

In this season, the Xiongnu raided the border everywhere in order to get food for the winter, resulting in constant refugees. In the past few days, people who fled from refugees rushed to Hongnong City from time to time, and there were more than 1 more people one after another.So it was logging and building houses to deal with the living problems of these people.At the same time, young and strong people were recruited from these fleeing people to join the military camp, and they were given military pay and food.In two days, more than 2000 people were called to join, bringing the total number of soldiers in Hongnong City to [-].

As early as three days ago, after Liu Bian woke up, he went to the mass grave outside the city at night, absorbed the soul power contained in the corpses of two thousand Hun soldiers discarded there, transformed it into about a hundred soul fires, and resurrected He took twenty undead soldiers and asked them to go to the snow mountain with their letters to Zhang Jiao, food and seeds.Following the sleepless footsteps of the undead, they can climb to the top of the snow mountain in three days. Zhang Jiao must have seen the letter and other things today. I hope he can help, Liu Bian thought to himself.

"Young master, there is one more matter, but there is no suitable candidate." Yu Ji interrupted Liu Bian's meditation and said to him.

The two have confirmed that the technique of digging the ground to drain water is indeed advisable. Even if the aura of heaven and earth above the high mountain cannot be attracted, it can still improve the environment of the entire Hongnong City, and there is no disadvantage.So Yu Ji immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the [-] captives and start digging.

"Oh?" Liu Bian has long been used to Yu Ji reporting to him all the big and small things, anyway, just listen to it, and most things have already been arranged by Yu Ji, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

"The food stored in the city has been consumed a lot in the past few days, and we need to send someone to Luoyang to buy it immediately. It's just that it's hard to decide who to buy." Yu Ji said worriedly.

Indeed, there are only a few people who can make decisions in the city. Xu Rong would definitely not dare to go to Luoyang if he treats the guilty; If Luoyang escapes, will the sheep go into the tiger's mouth?Moreover, it is definitely not enough for a few people to buy food and grass, at least hundreds of soldiers have to be sent to accompany them. In Hongnong City, officials, big and small, who can let them feel at ease to send troops to accompany them?

"If it doesn't work, then I'd like to trouble General Yu to take a trip. It's a few days' journey to Luoyang. I don't think there will be any accidents in the city." Thinking about it, Liu Bian really couldn't think of anyone who could take on the job, so he had to say so.

"The veteran thinks that there are two people who can do it: one is Hua Tuo, he is very familiar with the big and small dignitaries in Luoyang City, if he comes forward to buy grain, he will definitely be able to buy it, but he will not lead the army, and he may not help me. Wait to come forward; the second is Miss Diaochan, from the old minister's conversation with her, we can see that this girl is familiar with the art of war, and her personal martial arts is not weak, so she can lead the army; if these two people show up at the same time, this matter can be done, it's just these two people, " Yu Ji smiled wryly: "The old ministers can't command any of them, so the young master should come forward."

In the past two days, Diao Chan and Tang Ji got along with each other, as if they were similar before, there was no barrier between them, Liu Bian and Yu Ji were very surprised.Diao Chan, who is so beautiful and beautiful as a fairy, makes everyone in the city look sideways at her and dare not look up.But when he arrived in Hongnong City, Diao Chan's amnesia still didn't get better.Liu Bian has already told Hua Tuo about this and asked him to diagnose Diao Chan.Unexpectedly, after Hua Tuo's diagnosis, he came to a conclusion that surprised Liu Bian: Diao Chan also had that strange toxin, but the toxin was extremely weak, far inferior to Liu Bian's blood. Diao Chan's nerves were affected by it, and she lost her memory.When the toxin occurs on a man, it will make the man infinitely powerful, with amazing endurance; According to Hua Tuo's estimation, if the poisoner cannot be found, Diao Chan may not survive a year.As for what caused the mysterious Gu poison to erode Diao Chan, no one knows.

Thinking of a beautiful young girl who is in full bloom but only has a short lifespan of one year, and then fades away, Liu Bian can't help but sigh, even if he wants to repay Wang Yun and General Ren for saving their lives, he has to go back to the grave again. Go, find the butterfly.It seems that after Zhang Jiao's news came, he still had to disguise himself and go to Luoyang.

"Okay, I'll ask them for help. I think both Hua Tuo and Miss Diao Chan will agree." Liu Bian nodded. Hua Tuo is obsessed with various medical research, as long as he tells him the whereabouts of the butterfly, don't worry that he won't go.As for Diao Chan, since she is Wang Yun's adoptive daughter, she has to go see Wang Yun, maybe she can think of something.As for whether Wang Yun will use Diao Chan's beauty trick to alienate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu in the future, I am afraid that Diao Chan will not survive that time.

Seeing that the purchase of grain was settled, the sadness on Yu Ji's face finally dissipated: "Hangu Pass has been broken, and scattered Hun cavalry will break into the pass to plunder intermittently in the near future. After the purchase of grain is completed, The old minister sent Xu Rong to lead a thousand captives to repair the collapsed Hangu Pass and send troops to guard it."

After the discussions on matters big and small were completed, Yu Ji took his leave and left.

The trees near the edge of Hongnong City were cut down, and many brand new houses were built in the city. In the blink of an eye, it looked brand new, and everyone was busy, and the deserted atmosphere was no longer there.The Hongnong Palace was also repaired by Yu Ji within ten days after Liu Bian left, allowing Liu Bian to live in it.That mansion was originally the residence of a wealthy family in Hongnong City for generations, but these years of natural disasters and man-made disasters made the family members thin, and suddenly only a few people died of a serious illness, and the mansion was taken over by Yu Ji Come down, after some treatment, adding bricks and tiles, dust removal and painting, it looks luxurious.

This mansion not only has nearly a hundred houses of various sizes, but also a rockery pond, with everything that one expects to find. There is an exquisite small pavilion built in the middle of the pond, which is covered with white snow at this time, and it looks very beautiful .
