    After Xiliao raided Xintun Guards, Xiao Yeyang recuperated at home for a few days, and then began to inspect the four guard posts.

    Although Xinxi Town suffered heavy casualties, shortcomings were also exposed from this raid. Xiao Yeyang learned from the experience and re-formulated a plan for training soldiers.

    Because of the eager gaze of the Xiliao people, Xiao Yeyang did not dare to delay, and took the time to train the soldiers and strengthen the mutual cooperation of the twelve military towns.

    It wasn¡¯t until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month that I returned to Ganzhou City, dusty and tired.

    At the same time, the people Xiao Yeyang assigned to Xiliao also received a reply.

    Daohua frowned when she saw Xiao Yeyang read the news, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

    Xiao Yeyang: "The reason why Xiliao raided the new garrison was firstly to test the combat coordination ability of the military town, and secondly because the Xiliao royal family had foreign aid. Last autumn, the Xiliao royal family received a large amount of food. It may be because of this  , give them the confidence."

    Daohua frowned: "Who will send food to Xiliao?"

    ??????

    "I've been reading to the little guy these days to prevent him from forgetting me."

    Daohua was a little speechless and said with a smile: "You are the father of the child. If the child forgets, no one will forget you." After saying that, he paused.

    "I'm always a little worried about my eldest brother spending the New Year alone in Xintunwei. How about I write another letter and ask him to come over?"

    ????

    "Xintunwei was raided by the Xiliao people this time. Many officials were in panic. It was time for the eldest brother to show off his fists."

    Hearing this, Daohua said no more: "Then I will send him some more food. It doesn't matter if he eats it or it can be given as a gift. By the way, the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law have to send some as well."

    Xiao Yeyang: "Just ask Gu Yu and the others to handle such a small matter, don't worry about it all the time."

    Daohua smiled and said: "I just talked and didn't worry too much. Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the master's yard to have dinner."

    This year is the third year that Daohua and Xiao Yeyang have come to Xiliang. Because Xintunwei was raided, the people were worried about an attack from Xiliao. This year's New Year atmosphere is not as strong and lively as last year.

    On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Daohua invited the Li family, the Dong family, and the Su family to celebrate the New Year together. Xiao Yeyang also invited some officials and generals he valued to come over. The New Year atmosphere in the house was quite strong.

    On New Year¡¯s Eve, when Xiao Yeyang was posting couplets with rice flowers, Defu hurried over and said, ¡°Master, the Xiliao people just attacked Gandan Town not long ago.¡±

    Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed, he handed the couplet in his hand to Guyu who was standing aside, gave Daohua a word, and turned around to leave.

    After Xiao Yeyang left, Daohua kept frowning.

    With the raid on Xintun Guard in November, and now the attack on Ganzhou Guard, is it possible that Xiliao really wants to break out a war with Daxia?

    Because of the attacks by the Xiliao people, the already weak flavor of the New Year became weaker and weaker.

    Xiao Yeyang was resisting the Xiliao people. Daohua and Gu Jian were no longer interested in celebrating the New Year. Both of them were waiting at home for Xiao Yeyang to come back.

    ?¡­

    Xiao Yeyang took over the Ganzhou Guard as soon as he came to Xiliang. The border troops here have been strictly trained by him for two years, and their morale and combat capabilities are much stronger than those of the Xintun Guard.

    The people of Xiliao killed nearly 10,000 soldiers in Xintun Guard, but they did not get any advantage in Ganzhou Guard.

    This time, Yelu Kangda personally led the team. Ever since Xiao Yeyang recaptured Danhe, he never wanted to recapture Danhe again.

    However, he did not expect that the combat capability of the frontier troops of Ganzhou Guard was several times higher than that of Xintun Guard. After three charges, he lost nearly 20,000 people, while the opponent only lost thousands of people.

    This time Xiliao dispatched 50,000 soldiers. After the fifth charge, Yelu Kangda decisively escaped with the remaining 10,000 soldiers.

    "Yelukanda, what do you think I am, a Daxia soldier? I fight whenever I want and run away whenever I want?"

    Xiao Yeyang didn't want to let Yelu Kangda go, and also wanted to frighten Xiliao so as to buy more training time for the military town, so he led the cavalry in pursuit.

    Along the way, Yelu Kangda was killed and only a few thousand people were left. In the end, he had to stop and turn back because he was afraid of going deep into the hinterland of Xiliao and being surrounded.

    By the time Xiao Yeyang finished handling the affairs of the military town and returned to Ganzhou City, it was already early February.

    "After this battle, Xiliao should calm down for a while."

    ?? Xiao Yeyang lay lazily on the recliner and?I was contentedly enjoying feeding the rice flowers, but after a while, I frowned again.

    "There were many casualties in the two battles. Nearly 10,000 people were killed in the Xintun Guards. More than 5,000 people were killed in the Ganzhou Guards this time. I have already given the commander of the capital a discount for the pension, but Wei Hongcai is afraid  It¡¯s prevarication.¡±

    Daohua frowned: "Does he still dare to covet Mo's money?"

    Xiao Yeyang: "Because of my identity, I don't dare to be greedy for him, but I certainly won't give him that happily. Also, we must find a way to replace the dead soldiers as soon as possible."

    "The tax revenue in Xiliang is too small. Even if the emperor allows me to freely manage and use the tax money here, there won't be much money to use."

    "However, the recruitment of troops must continue. Not only the Ganzhou Guard, but also the Xintun Guard must start recruiting troops."

    As he said that, he looked at Daohua apologetically and touched her belly, which was getting bigger.

    "I originally wanted to spend more time with you and your children, but I didn't expect that war would break out in Xiliao so soon. I'm afraid I'll be busy again in the next few months."

    Daohua held his hand: "I knew before I came to Xiliang that you would be very busy in the first few years. Don't worry and do what you want to do. I will take good care of myself and Master."

    In the next two months or so, Xiao Yeyang spent more than 20 days each month training outside. The remaining days, he would take time to go home to accompany Daohua and Gu Jian, and read to the child in his belly.

    At the beginning of April, two uninvited guests came to the Xiao Mansion.

    Daohua stared blankly at Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang who suddenly appeared in front of her: "Mother, why are you and Hero Chu here?"

    Before Guo Ruomei could answer, Chu Lang spoke: "What, you don't welcome me?"

    Daohua quickly shook her head, smiled and stepped forward to wish Guo Ruomei a blessing: "My mother and Master Chu can come, Xiao Yeyang and I have been asking for it, how can we not welcome them, we are just a little surprised."

    Guo Ruomei smiled and took Daohua's hand: "Don't worry about your Uncle Chu, he just has a bad mouth." After saying that, he looked at Daohua's almost nine-month-old belly.

    "The child didn't make trouble for you, right?"

    Daohua smiled and said: "This child is very active, but he didn't bother me too much. I'm fine. Mother, Uncle Chu, let's go into the house quickly."

    Chu Lang raised his eyebrows when he heard Daohua's name.

    "Xiao Yeyang is actually married to a good wife who listens to her mother-in-law. She just called him Chu Daxia, but as soon as Ruomei opened her mouth, she changed her name to Uncle Chu.
