    Along the border between Xiliang and Xiliao, twelve military towns with tall and thick walls were built, and cavalry patrolled them every day, which gave the people of Xiliang a great sense of security.

    By retaking Danhe and building a military town, Xiao Yeyang was able to firmly establish himself in Xiliang with these two things. Not only that, he also gained a good reputation.

    At the Ganzhou Guards Station, Master Wang was sorting out the news reported by the military town patrol team, feeling both happy and sighing in his heart.

    Fortunately, every military town has conducted defense and drills in accordance with the established military regulations. Instead of the passive defense of the past, we now have the blood and spirit of real soldiers.

    What¡¯s surprising is that the generals and soldiers were so obedient because they believed in Xiao Yeyang.

    Xiao Yeyang had just taken over the border army. Not to mention others, even he felt that he had taken advantage of his status. But now, he and everyone have seen that he relied on his own ability to gain a foothold.

    Seeing the happy look on Master Wang's face, the personal guard couldn't help but ask: "Master, why are you so happy?"

    Master Wang smiled and said nothing. The Xiliang frontier army had a mainstay, how could they not be happy?

    The Twelve Army Town operates in a unified manner and supports each other. The Xiliang border army is finally not as scattered as before.

    Xiao Mansion.

    After the operation of the military town was on the right track, Xiao Yeyang stayed at the house to accompany Daohua except for occasionally going out to watch the soldiers' training.

    "I see that your belly is getting bigger. It must be because our child has grown taller."

    Xiao Yeyang stared at Daohua's belly.

    Daohua pinched the flesh on her waist sadly: "It's long and fleshy. Grandma Li said that she won't be able to show her pregnancy in four months."

    As he said that, he looked at Xiao Yeyang.

    "After giving birth, I will gain weight. You won't dislike me, right?"

    Xiao Yeyang smiled and handed the bird's nest porridge to Daohua: "You have to gain weight. I like the way you look plump."

    Daohua glanced sideways at him while drinking porridge. She would not believe what he said.

    Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile. Seeing that her face had become rounder and had the charming look of her childhood again, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her soft cheeks. When Daohua looked over with a glare,  He quickly stopped.

    ¡°I have nothing to do today, so I¡¯ll make some paintings for you.¡±

    Daohua quickly put down the porridge bowl, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, just draw it according to my current appearance. From now on, I can often see what I look like when I'm pregnant."

    Seeing that Daohua was so interested, Xiao Yeyang smiled and asked Defu to prepare drawing paper, brushes and paints.

    In the room, the charcoal pot was burning, dispersing the cold wind outside. Xiao Yeyang stood behind the desk, sketching with the brush in his hand, and looking up at the rice flowers from time to time.

    After Daohua sat for a while, she couldn't help but stand up and walk around. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn't object, she simply picked up the scissors and trimmed the flowers in the vase.

    "It's really round."

    The painting was good, Daohua couldn't wait to take it over and look at it: "The face is round, and the body is also round." After saying that, she looked at Xiao Yeyang, "Next month, you will continue to paint for me. I will show the changes during my pregnancy."  Keep it."

    Xiao Yeyang responded with a smile: "This is a good idea."

    At this moment, Defu's slightly anxious voice sounded outside the door: "Master, it's not good, the Xiliao cavalry raided Xintunwei Xinzhong Town."

    Xiao Yeyang's expression turned serious: "I'll go out and take a look. You put the painting away."

    Daohua nodded and quickly took the crane cloak and put it on him: "Be careful."

    Seeing the worry in Daohua's eyes, Xiao Yeyang put her in his arms and hugged him: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

    Seeing Xiao Yeyang striding away, Daohua didn't want to look at the painting anymore. She told Gu Yu to put the painting away and stood in front of the window watching the snowflakes flying in the yard.

    Xiliang is located on the border, and the border is a war-prone place. Before coming here, she had been prepared to face war, but now that things were coming, she still couldn't help but worry.

    "Girl, my uncle is very skilled in martial arts, everything will be fine." Guyu didn't want Daohua to worry, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

    Daohua nodded, was silent for a while, and asked Lixia to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

    Due to the promotion of high-yielding grain varieties, although the food in the guard station was not rich this year, it could barely satisfy the border troops and military households, so she did not ask Qin Xiaoliu to continue sending food here.

    Now that Xiliao has suddenly launched a war, she can't do anything to help Xiao Yeyang. She can only transport more food to ensure sufficient military rations.

    This time Daohua not only asked Qin Xiaoliu to transport the grain harvested from the farm owned by her and Xiao Yeyang to Xiliang, but also asked him to use money to purchase it from outside.batch.

    Nearly 300,000 border troops were stationed in Twelve Army Town. Daohua prepared two years of rations for this army at once 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."

    After taking the note to the secret guard and sending it back to the capital by carrier pigeon, Daohua called Cao Chuan again and asked him about the situation of the ranch.

    "How many cattle and sheep are there on the pasture now?"

    Cao Chuan: "Madam, since Danhe was recaptured, the pasture has grown vigorously, and there are now more than 50,000 cattle and sheep."

    Daohua thought for a while, she was not sure whether Xiliao was about to start a war with Daxia, but as a precaution, it was better to raise more cattle and sheep. After all, soldiers also had to eat meat.

    She is not afraid even if she raises too many. With the Li family and the Sun family caravan here, she does not have to worry about selling cattle and horses.

    ¡°Next year we will raise more cattle and sheep, and we will also raise a group of camels.¡±

    After Cao Chuan left, Yan Shouhou came again.

    Daohua said to him directly: "Go to the Li family and the Sun family and tell them to deliver more salt."

    The salt here in Xiliang is all shipped from other places. There has been a shortage of salt here for a long time. Once a war breaks out, the army may also be short of salt.

    After finishing these instructions, Daohua lay down on the recliner and rested.

    ?¡­

    Xiao Yeyang came back in mid-November.

    Seeing his unkempt beard and red bloodshot eyes, Daohua felt very distressed and personally took the toiletries to help him clean up.

    Knowing that Daohua was worried about Yan Wenxiu who was guarding Xintun, Xiao Yeyang said: "Brother, it's okay. This Xiliao raid was just to test the defense capabilities of the military town and did not break the defense and cross the border."

    Daohua nodded and took the chicken soup from Guyu: "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach."

    Xiao Yeyang finished the drink in a few sips: "The border troops are used to being passive. Even though they have been actively training this year, when tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed in, their morale collapsed. This time many people were killed or injured."

    Daohua quickly asked: "Do the people of Xiliao want to break out a war?"

    ??????

    "Fortunately, I left people in each military town to deliver the news of the raid in time, otherwise the casualties would have been greater this time."

    "I thought I could relax for a while, but I saw the behavior of the border troops. This year, they were also inspected and drilled in various military towns."

    "Xiliao will not give me time to train the border troops. This time is a test, and the next time it may be a real war."

    Daohua: "Didn't I say that Xiliao has not developed well in recent years? How dare they suddenly go to war with Daxia?"

    Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes: "There is indeed something wrong with this matter. When we recaptured Danhe last year, Yelu Kangda retreated without saying anything. It can be seen that Xiliao did not have the ability to fight against Daxia at that time."

    ¡°It¡¯s only been a year now, how can you dare to raid a military town?¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
