There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 925
[Chapter 925 Chapter 925, Raid]
Xiliang Along the border between Xiliang and Xiliao, there are twelve tall and heavy military towns, and teams of cavalry patrol back and forth, giving the people of Xiliang a great sense of security.
Taking back Danhe and building a military town, relying on these two things, Xiao Yeyang has completely established himself in Xiliang. Not only that, but also has a high reputation in the hearts of the people.
In the Ganzhou Guard Station, Master Wang was both happy and sighed in his heart as he dealt with the news reported by the patrol team in the military town.
Happily, each military town has conducted defense and drills in accordance with the established military regulations. Without the previous passive defense, morale and blood began to grow.
What I sigh is that the generals and soldiers are so obedient because of their belief in Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang had just taken over the frontier army, not to mention others, even he felt that he took advantage of his status, but now, he and everyone saw that Xiao Yeyang gained a foothold by his own ability.
Seeing Master Wang’s happy face, the personal guards couldn’t help asking: “Master, why are you so happy?”
Master Wang smiled and said nothing, how can the Xiliang frontier army be unhappy when they have a mainstay?
The twelve army towns are operating in a unified manner and supporting each other, and the Xiliang frontier army is finally not as scattered as before.
Xiao Mansion.
After the military town was on the right track, Xiao Yeyang stayed in the mansion to accompany Daohua except for occasionally going out to watch the training of the soldiers.
“I see that your belly is getting bigger, it must be because our child has grown up a lot.”
Xiao Yeyang stared at Daohua’s belly fiercely.
Daohua squeezed the flesh on her waist sadly: “Long fleshy, Nanny Li said, it won’t show much in four months.”
Saying that, she looked at Xiao Yeyang.
“After giving birth, I’m going to gain weight, you won’t dislike me, will you?”
Xiao Yeyang smiled and handed the bird’s nest porridge to Daohua: “You have to gain weight, I like your chubby look.”
Daohua gave him a sideways glance while drinking the porridge, so she would not believe him If so.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile, saw that her face had become rounder, and she had the charming look she had when she was a child again, so she couldn’t help stretching out her hand to pinch that soft cheek, when Daohua stared over, He quickly withdrew his hand again.
“I’m fine today, I’ll make a secondary painting for you.”
Daohua quickly put down the porridge bowl, nodded and said, “Okay, okay, just paint as I am now, and I can often see what I look like when I’m pregnant in the future.” It ‘s over.”
Seeing that Daohua was so interested, Xiao Yeyang smiled and asked Defu to prepare the drawing paper, brushes and paints.
In the room, the charcoal pot was burning, dispelling the cold wind outside the house. Xiao Yeyang stood behind the table, drawing with a brush in his hand, and looked up at the rice flowers from time to time.
After sitting for a while, Daohua couldn’t sit still anymore. She couldn’t help standing up and walking around. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn’t object, she simply picked up the scissors and trimmed the flowers in the vase.
The two looked at each other from time to time, and the atmosphere in the room was quiet and beautiful.
“It’s really long and round.” When the
painting was finished, Daohua couldn’t wait to take it over and look at it: “The face is round, and the body is also round.” As he said, he looked at Xiao Yeyang, “You continue to paint for me next month, I I want to keep all the changes during my pregnancy.”
Xiao Yeyang responded with a smile: “That’s a good idea.”
At this moment, Defu’s slightly anxious voice sounded outside the door: “Master, it’s not good, The cavalry from Xiliao raided Xinzhong Town, Xintunwei.”
Xiao Yeyang’s face turned serious: “I’ll go out and have a look, you put away the painting.”
Daohua nodded, and quickly brought the crane cloak for him to put on: “Be careful.”
Seeing the worry in Daohua’s eyes, Xiao Yeyang hugged him in his arms: “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
Seeing Xiao Yeyang stride away, Daohua didn’t want to look at the painting anymore, so she ordered Gu Yu to put the painting away, and stood in front of the window watching the snowflakes flying in the yard.
Xiliang is located in the borderlands, and the borderlands are places where wars frequently occur. Before coming here, she was prepared to face wars, but now that things are imminent, she still can’t help but worry.
“Girl, my uncle is superb in martial arts, nothing will happen.” Gu Yu couldn’t help comforting Dao Hua, not wanting to worry.
Daohua nodded, and was silent for a while, before asking Lixia to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Due to the promotion of high-yielding grain varieties, although the food in the guard station is not rich this year, it can barely feed the frontier soldiers and military households, so she didn’t ask Qin Xiaoliu to continue sending food here.
Now that Xiliao suddenly launched a war, she couldn’t help Xiao Yeyang, she could only bring more food to ensure that the army had enough food.
This time, Daohua not only asked Qin Xiaoliu to transport the grain harvested by her and Xiao Yeyang’s farm to Xiliang, but also asked him to buy a batch from outside with money.
Nearly 300,000 frontier troops were stationed in Twelfth Army Town, and Daohua prepared two years of rations for this army at one time, and asked Qin Xiaoliu to send them to Xiliang in batches.
“In two years, Xiao Yeyang will definitely be able to get rid of the Xiliao people.” He
took the note to the dark guard and sent it back to the capital with a carrier pigeon. Daohua called Cao Chuan again and asked about the situation of his pasture.
“How many cattle and sheep are there in the ranch now?”
Cao Chuan: “Madam, since Danhe was taken back, the pasture has grown vigorously, and there are now more than 50,000 cattle and sheep.”
Daohua thought about it, and she was not sure about Xiliao . Is there going to be a war with Daxia soon, but just in case, it is better to raise more cattle and sheep, after all, soldiers also have to eat meat.
Even if she raises more, she is not afraid. With the caravans of the Li family and the Sun family, she does not have to worry about selling cattle and horses.
“Next year, we will raise more cattle and sheep, and more camels.”
After Cao Chuan left, Yan Shouhou was called over again.
Daohua said to him directly: “You go to the Li family and the Sun family, and tell them to let them bring more salt.”
The salt here in Xiliang is shipped from other places. Salt shortage, once a war breaks out, the army may also suffer from salt shortage.
After giving these orders, Daohua lay down on the recliner to rest.
Xiao Yeyang came back at the end of November.
Seeing his unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes, Dao Hua was very distressed, and personally took the toiletries to help him clean up.
Knowing that Daohua was worried about Yan Wenxiu who was in Xintunwei, Xiao Yeyang said: “Brother is fine, this time the Xiliao raid was just to test the defense capabilities of the military town, and did not break through the border.”
Daohua nodded and took the The chicken soup that Gu Yu handed over: “Drink some soup first to warm your stomach.”
Xiao Yeyang gulped and drank it in a few sips: “The frontier army is used to being passive, even though they have been actively training this year, facing the sudden attack of tens of thousands of cavalry from Xiliao This time, many people were killed or injured.”
Daohua quickly asked: “Do the people of Xiliao want to break out into a big war?”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “This time it should be just a test, I want to see the army The defense and response capabilities of the towns. Obviously, the military towns have done too badly in this regard, and there is no coordination and cooperation ability in the war.”
“Fortunately, I kept people in each military town, and quickly passed the news of the raid to support The army arrived in time, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater.”
“I thought it would be easy for a while, but seeing the appearance of the frontier army, this year they have to conduct inspections and drills in various military towns.”
“The Xiliao side will not The one who gave me time to train the frontier army, this time is a test, and the next time may be a real battle.”
Daohua showed doubts: “Didn’t it mean that the development of Xiliao has not been good these years? How dare they suddenly fight Daxia? ”
Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes: “There is indeed something wrong with this matter. When Danhe was recaptured last year, Yelv Kangda retreated without saying anything. It can be seen that Xiliao was unable to fight against Daxia at that time.”
“It’s only been a year now, how dare you raid the military town?”
