The death of Shen Jingbing shocked Hong Zhong, the commander of the new garrison, and he did not dare to deliberately block the construction of military towns. When Xiao Yeyang came over for inspection, the three military towns had already begun to take shape.
Hong Zhong is a better person than Shen Jingbing. He will listen to Xiao Yeyang on all border issues and will never go against Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang saw that he knew his appearance and did not embarrass him.
Looking at the rapidly rising city wall, Hong Zhong whispered to the staff around him: "I don't know where Xiao Yeyang found the building materials. I asked someone to try it. It is much stronger than ordinary rammed earth."
The staff nodded: "It rained a few days ago, and I also paid attention to it. The roads built with cement are not muddy at all. If all official roads in Xiliang are built like this, it will not only increase the marching speed, but also Make it easier for people to pass.¡±
¡°When I think about it, every time it rains, the road will become muddy. Not only is it difficult to walk, but my shoes are also worn out.
Hong Zhong sighed. Even if his heart was towards Mr. Wei, he had to admit that Xiao Yeyang's arrival had improved many problems in Xiliang.
?¡
Xiao Yeyang put a lot of effort into controlling the border army. In order to detect the power and loyalty behind the border army generals, most of his Jinling guards and secret guards were used.
The generals of Jianzhou Guard, under the leadership of Shen Jingbing, were fond of leisure, indolence, corruption and enjoyment, and the soldiers they led had no military discipline and appearance. It took Xiao Yeyang a lot of effort to change this bad habit.
The situation in Xintunwei is better, but only a little better.
Looking at the emaciated soldiers, Xiao Yeyang asked Defu to find Hong Zhong.
"Master Xiao, what do you want from me?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Hong Zhong who looked respectful: "You are smarter than Shen Jingbing!"
Hong Zhong was a little confused by this sudden compliment.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the border army's ration collection records and continued slowly: "Even if you surrender to others, your life is your own. If you lose your life for others, this kind of person will deserve to die."
Hong Zhong¡¯s heart tightened. Is Xiao Yeyang beating himself up?
"Master Xiao, if you have anything else to do, just ask me?"
¡°I just ask you not to scare him by saying such specious things.
Seeing the fear in Hong Zhong¡¯s eyes, Xiao Yeyang frowned and shook his head. Such a person actually managed a guard station. If the Xiliao people really invaded, could he lead the soldiers to fight against the enemy?
"I took a look at the food records provided by the Xintun Guards to the border troops in the past few years. You haven't given enough in one year!"
Hong Zhong opened his mouth to say that the harvest in Xintunwei was not good, but it was a pity that Xiao Yeyang did not give him this opportunity.
"Don't tell me that the harvest is not good. The geographical environment of Xintunwei is much better than that of Ganzhouwei and Jinweiwei. There are grasslands and plains. The land resources are considered to be the best among the nine Xiliangwei. You can't even pay enough for military rations. You Just don¡¯t be a commander at all.¡±
Hong Zhong is not a man of great ability. He was able to sit in the position of commander mainly because he was a bit timid after listening to Wei Hongcai's words. Hearing what Xiao Yeyang said, he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xintunwei¡¯s grain harvest was quite large, but except for the small portion he withheld, most of the rest was sent to the Wei family.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Hong Zhong with a cold face: "The autumn harvest is coming soon. If you don't provide enough food for the border troops this year, I will personally give the emperor a discount."
Seeing Hong Zhong leave in a daze and with a pale face, Daohua, who was standing aside as a guard, walked to Xiao Yeyang, shook his head and said: "Such a person is actually a third-grade official, how did the Commander-in-Chief of Xiliang choose someone? "
Xiao Yeyang sighed: "Wei Hongcai is nepotistic. Although Hong Zhong has no ability, he is even obedient." As he said that, he took Daohua and sat down.
"Master Wang has contacted several officials of the new garrison. I'm going to show up later. I can't take you with me, so just stay in the tent and don't run around."
Daohua knew that Xiao Yeyang was supposed to win over the Xintunwei officials, but she couldn't join him: "Well, I know."
Xiao Yeyang: "By the way, I've received a letter from the capital. My eldest brother, my second brother-in-law, and my third brother-in-law are all willing to come to Xiliang. Once the arrangements for the Xintun Guard are settled, we will return to Ganzhou Guard."
It¡¯s not surprising that Yan Wenxiu came to Daohua. She was a little surprised that Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang¡¯s husbands also came: ¡°How do you plan to arrange them?¡±
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Jinwei Guard, Jianzhou Guard, and Xintun Guard border Xiliao. The guard posts are related to the food and salary supply of the border army. These three guard posts must be under my control."
"There is Yuanxuan in Jianzhou Guard. The second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law, I plan to arrange to go to Jinwei Guard and Lanwu Guard. As for the eldest brother, I want him to?On the Xintunwei side. "
Daohua was a little hesitant. The commander of the new guard was from Wei Hongcai. Her eldest brother stayed here, and she was a little worried about his safety.
There was no concealment, Daohua directly said what was in her heart.
Xiao Yeyang also expressed his thoughts: "It is because Xintunwei is not under my control yet that I want my eldest brother to stay here. There is danger, but the credit is also great."
"I will discuss this with my eldest brother. If he is willing to stay, I will leave some secret guards to protect him."
Daohua nodded: "Then when big brother comes, you can have a good talk with him."
?¡
????????????????????????????? Xiao Yeyang will be in charge of the affairs of Xintunwei, and it¡¯s already August.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua returned to Ganzhou City.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daohua invited the Dong family, Su family, and Li family to come to Xiao Mansion to enjoy the moon. After sending them away, she lay down on the boat with a tired look on her face.
Seeing her lack of energy, Xiao Yeyang felt distressed and said, "But are you tired?"
Daohua shook her head: "I don't know what's going on, but I've been feeling very sleepy lately."
Xiao Yeyang looked remorseful: "You must be tired from running around with me some time ago."
Daohua thought it was the same reason, so she fell asleep quickly after washing.
I thought that after a few days of rest, things would get better, but until September, Daohua still looked gloomy and had no energy during the day.
Gu Jian noticed his apprentice's condition and pulled Xiao Yeyang aside to scold him.
Xiao Yeyang was a little aggrieved. He felt sorry for Daohua when he saw her lack of energy during this period. He slept peacefully at night without any trouble.
¡°Girl, don¡¯t just look after us, take care of yourself too, I¡¯m looking at you and you¡¯ve lost weight.¡±
Seeing Daohua coming over with freshly brewed milk tea, Gu Jian couldn't help but say something.
Daohua was stunned and touched her cheek: "Have I lost weight?" She has obviously eaten a lot more during this period than before, okay?
Xiao Yeyang listened to his uncle's nonsense, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Daohua had lost weight. She was obviously fat. When he massaged her at night, he felt that there was a circle of soft flesh on her waist. It felt so good. .
At this time, Guyu walked in: "Girl, Mrs. Dong is here."
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaoman walked in, with the maid behind him carrying two bamboo baskets.
Daohua greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law is here."
Liu Xiaoman smiled and said, "My dad brought me fruit again. I saw you loved eating it before, so I thought of giving you some."
Daohua looked at the fruits in the basket, thanked her, picked up one and smelled it: "This is a green tangerine, it looks delicious." After saying that, she peeled it off and ate it.
Liu Xiaoman saw that the maid actually brought the sour oranges over, and quickly wanted to stop it, but was surprised to find that the rice flowers were delicious, petal by petal: "Brothers and sisters, isn't it sour?"
Daohua shook her head: "It's not sour." After saying that, she fed Xiao Yeyang a petal.
After Xiao Yeyang took it in his mouth, he was so sore that his eyes narrowed.
Liu Xiaoman saw her, looked at the rice flowers, and asked tentatively: "Brother and sister, are you pregnant?"
As soon as these words came out, Daohua, Xiao Yeyang, and Gu Jian all stared at Liu Xiaoman. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
