Groups of palace attendants came in and out in a hurry. Female soldiers wearing red coats and tasseled fox-tail hats pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and were on tight guard. In the Prime Minister's Office of the North Courtyard, Xiao Fang, the oldest man in the Xiao clan
Ding led several of Xiao Chuo's elders and close relatives, as well as several respected old princes of the Yelu royal family, pacing back and forth in the front hall of Yuehua Palace like ants on a hot pot, each with their own thoughts.
In the Yuehua Palace, there was a nineteen-year-old woman who was about to give birth to a child. If it were left to other people, this would be an important matter for one family, but if it were to the royal family, it would be a matter of national concern. The late emperor has already
He died. Khitan has been without an emperor for more than half a year. The country cannot live without a king for a day. Logically speaking, we should not wait for the queen to give birth to a prince. This matter is too variable. For the stability of the imperial power, it is time to establish a new king.
, but Xiao Chuo relied on her iron-blooded skills, the support of important officials in the court, and the support of the Xiao family to withstand the heavy pressure from the royal family and persist to this day.
Today, if the baby who is about to be born is a boy, then a new emperor will be born in Khitan immediately. The empress will be promoted to the queen mother and will be in charge of the government until the emperor reaches adulthood. The political situation of the court will not change. If it is a girl
Ying, then a new king must be established immediately and power must be redistributed.
This matter is so big, who doesn't care? All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty came to the main hall to wait for the news. The palace guards had surrounded the imperial city, with their swords unsheathed and arrows unstrung.
The township army and others are mobilizing secretly to prevent unexpected events. The whole Khitan is undercurrent. Only ordinary people who know nothing about this serious situation are still happily shopping the streets, buying new year's goods, and preparing to welcome the arrival of the new year.
, and the upcoming Lantern Festival.
"Wow~~Wow~~Wow~~"
Waves of loud cries of babies came from the back hall. Mr. Xiao Ding, Mr. Shi Fang and several old men with white beards from the Yelu family crowded to the door of the back hall and watched eagerly.
, shouted loudly: "Quick, tell me quickly, is it a boy or a girl?"
It was steaming in the hall, Xiao Chuo was lying on the couch sweating profusely, Wen Po and the female doctor were hurriedly doing the aftermath, and the wizard was still jumping and jumping like crazy in front of the screen, tossing and beating to the sound of the tight drum.
Sweating profusely, hot water, clean cotton cloth, silver scissors, and ginseng chicken soup to replenish vitality... the maids felt a little confused holding all kinds of things.
Xiao Chuo had exhausted the last bit of energy and was in a daze. The child's cry sounded distant and near. She was half-supported by someone, and a bowl of ginseng soup was handed to her mouth. Xiao Chuo pushed it away with difficulty.
He asked: "I...my son...is a boy...a girl?"
A Wen woman said with a beaming smile: "I am very happy that I gave birth to a dragon son, a dragon son, so strong, white and fat..."
"Hold...bring me here to see you."
Before the blood stains on the child's body were completely washed away, he was wrapped in a clean cloth and presented to Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo saw with his own eyes that it was indeed a son, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Tears of joy burst into his eyes. She made an unattractive gesture.
With a gesture that attracted attention, the female guard leader in the corner secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly retreated.
After a bowl of ginseng soup, a little while later, a little person was brought to her bedside. Xiao Chuo turned his head and looked at the little guy who had fallen into a sweet dream, with a pink face,
He had a fat double chin and was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. His two small hands would spread out from time to time, as if to hold something, and then slowly fall back to the side of his head, holding his head with both hands, sleeping so stupidly.
cute.
A sweet smile appeared on Xiao Chuo's lips. He looked at the little fist, opening and closing. The small fingers looked thin, as if they were transparent. Xiao Chuo, a first-time mother, did not dare to touch them.
Touching it once, it seemed to break it with just one touch. After a long time, she tentatively stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the baby's palm. The baby immediately clenched her finger tightly.
Never let go again.
"My little enemy, you have tortured your mother to death today..."
Xiao Chuo murmured, and leaned over and gently pressed her son's cheek, which was smoother than a freshly peeled egg and more delicate and soft than fresh tofu. The feeling of sweetness, warmth, and satisfaction filled her heart. The only thing
The only fly in the ointment is probably that the father of this little enemy is not in front of her. She hugs her son to her chest. At this moment, why doesn't she hope that her man can also hold her to his chest and whisper softly like this...
Yinzhou White Tiger Festival Hall side office.
A white-haired old man raised his hand and said: "Lieutenant, the old man has followed all the way and has found out that the assassin is from the Dangxiang Mingtang tribe and was ordered by the leader of the tribe, Li Jipeng."
"Ming Tangchuan Li Jipeng?"
Yang Hao immediately walked to his specially made large sand table. This sand table was a geographical map of mountains and rivers in the Longyou area of Hexi. The mountains, rivers, grasslands, deserts, and cities were all very detailed. Areas controlled by different factions were also inserted with
The small flags represent the colors of their forces respectively, and their clan accounts, people and horses are also marked on the small flags. It is currently the most detailed map of the entire Western Region, using the three aspects of "Feiyu", "Suifeng" and "Ji Si Tang"
The map was only completed by the spy forces. With this map, many brave but illiterate generals can understand the situation of the entire Western Region clearly.
Ding Chengzong also pushed the wooden wheel cart to the sand table, stared at the small earth-yellow flag farther north in Yinzhou, and said slowly: "Li Jipeng is Li Guangyan's nephew. This year, Li Jiqian will die in eighty-eight years.
Later, the heroes of Yinzhou fought for the throne, and Li Guangrui of Xiazhou appointed Li Guangji to defend Yinzhou. Li Jipeng fell out of favor and complained about Xiazhou.
We originally thought that Li Jipeng would lose his loyalty to Li Guangrui because of this, and with his power in Mingtangchuan, he did not pose a threat to our Yinzhou. In addition, the current Taiwei was fighting to expel King Qing and regain our territory.
The banner also needs the name of the Song Dynasty to support the appearance. Li Jipeng is also a minister of the Song Dynasty in name, so he has no idea. Unexpectedly, he wants to assassinate the Taiwei."
Speaking of the surrounding situation, Ding Chengzong knew everything he knew. Yang Hao wanted to take charge of the overall situation and act as a general. He left many details to his subordinates. From the beginning, he did not intend to be a hands-on coach and knew the intelligence in this area.
Ding Chengzong didn't understand, so he asked again: "How many people are there in Mingtangchuan? If I attack with all my strength and take it by surprise, can I conquer it in one fell swoop?"
Ding Chengzong said: "It is more to the north. There are few farmers and many livestock herders. There are more than 14,000 households and a population of more than 70,000. However, most of them live in scattered places and graze for a living. They do not have enough food and grass to feed so many people.
The people in the city, so there are only a limited number of people living in Shuanglong City, and there are less than 5,000 elite soldiers and horses stationed there. Although the city is built on Shuanglong Ridge, it is dilapidated and not worth defending. If we can surprise you and strike with an army
, Li Jipeng will definitely lose.
But the trouble lies in two points. First, Li Jipeng's wealth is limited. If he can't defeat the enemy, he will attack him. If he can't defeat him, he will abandon the city and leave. He is mainly a nomad. Once he escapes, he can escape in all directions and cannot be pursued.
As soon as we leave, he can come back. If we can't gather him together and annihilate him, we will only hurt him a little and waste his troops on an expedition, which will not be worth the loss. On the other hand, the Li family has not taken the initiative to use troops against us, and we don't have Li Jipeng to assassinate his wife.
If you rashly stir up trouble based on the evidence of the lieutenant, you may be morally unfavorable."
Yang Hao smiled coldly, nodded on the sand table, and said calmly: "Some people are like donkeys. If they are in a hurry, they will not move forward and will retreat. If you want to be kind to others, it will not work. In this place where the strong is king,
You must be kind and powerful, and you must be kind and powerful, so that people can be convinced and reciprocate. You don't have to use force. You can guarantee that when there is a chance, those ambitious people will rebel faster than anyone else. In the northwest, you have to be the wolf king.
, as the wolf king, how can you not show your sharp teeth and claws!"
Ding Chengzong smiled, glanced at his brother with admiration, nodded and said: "Okay, since the Taiwei intends to fight, I will immediately summon the staff to study who will go to fight, how many troops will be mobilized, and when to go to fight. With the details
The plan was then submitted to the Taiwei for approval. Li Jipeng had a general named Zhang Pu. He was a Han Chinese, brave and resourceful, and a native of Yinzhou. He was always highly regarded by Li Guangyan. After Li Guangyan died, Li Guangji succeeded to the throne and appointed many private individuals.
, Zhang Pu failed under him, so he defected to Li Jipeng. Li Jipeng was a rough man, so there was nothing to worry about. However, this man had some tricks. If he wanted to find something unexpected and annihilate the enemies of Mingtangchuan in one fell swoop, he would need to plan carefully.
"
Yang Hao nodded and said: "Also, which tribes suffered from the White Disaster, and the food in the tribes cannot be sustained, we need to send people to transport food and grass there early, and those who are dissatisfied will be beaten. Those who are willing to surrender, we
We must also treat everyone equally and take care of them.”
Ding Chengzong nodded and said: "I understand, I will resign."
Yang Hao did not hide these things from the old man. This old man was Zhu Yun's father. His surname was Gu Daji, and he could be regarded as a stranger. Although he was from Jisitang, Yang Hao was currently on honeymoon with Jisitang.
During this period, there is no need to hide some time-limited secrets from the people of Jisitang.
After Ding Chengzong left, Yang Haocai turned to Gu Daji, bowed his head with a smile and said: "I'm sorry for you, old man. It's really hard work all this time. Please rest in Yinzhou for a while. When the plan is finalized, maybe there will be some help from the old man."
matter."
Gu Daji couldn't help being flattered when he saw that he was such a dignified prime minister, and he was so respectful to him. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you're too polite. You're too polite. This old man can't afford to bow to you. If anything happens, just tell me."
yes."
Yang Hao chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll go and rest first."
Gu Daji agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly hesitated for a moment, and said with a sly smile: "The old man has no complaints about being able to serve the Taiwei, but... I don't rely on my bones and muscles for strength. The old man's current skills are compared to
It was a lot different when he was in his prime. Other old men are not afraid, but they are afraid that if something goes wrong, the Taiwei will be missed. The little girl Zhuyun has the true inheritance of the old man, and she is also well-behaved and smart. If the Taiwei does not dislike it, she can
Keeping her by your side and using her will definitely be helpful to the Taiwei."
Yang Hao was stunned, then slowly smiled and said: "Oh... Miss Zhuyun is smart and smart, and her martial arts is superb. I have always valued her. She is currently training Feiyu in Luzhou, waiting for her to be free.
, I will transfer her back and put her to use."
When Gu Daji heard this, the wrinkles on his face spread with joy, and he said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good, um... Then the old man said goodbye, said goodbye."
Gu Daji took long strides and walked out happily. Yang Hao looked at his back and smiled dumbly after a long while.
Gu Daji is a martial arts master. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a stranger in the world. However, in terms of martial arts, he is certainly a first-rate master in the world, but in the end, he is just a servant who is driven around by Ji Si Tang.
.A truly transcendent person refers to his ambition. If this reaches a certain level, even if he has no power to tie a chicken, he can still be proud of the princes. On the contrary, a secular person has a family and people.
, worrying about the endless complexities of the mortal world, even if he has extraordinary martial arts skills, he is still a secular person and has to bow to power and wealth.
In today's troubled times, the status of warriors is not low, but it is definitely not high. There are no martial arts masters in martial arts novels who can be arrogant. All real martial arts masters have been sold to the emperor's family, even Fuyaozi Chen Tuan
Such a worldly master who has truly cultivated his mind to ignore the temptations of the mortal world had not come into contact with the Zhao Guan family in the early years and relied on the power of the emperor to achieve his transcendent status. How could Gu Daji be exempt from the secular world?
As a father, who wants his daughter to stay with a sword all day long and live a desperate life of licking blood with the blade? In Gu Daji's heart, if his daughter can become the concubine of a young and promising hero like himself, it will be a dream.
After marrying Gaozhi, you got the good family background you dreamed of, right?
Yang Hao didn't have any disdain for Gu Daji's intentions, but instead had a lot of emotions. He transferred Zhuyun back to Luzhou, of course, hoping that she could help him train "Feiyu", and that one day this secret spy team would be reborn and turn into a phoenix.
In fact, he also had good intentions. He could see Zhuyun's affection for Bisu, and he also hoped that Zhuyun, a good girl, could melt Bisu's frozen heart and not let him seal himself in hatred forever.
in the abyss.
However, there has been no progress between the two so far. Jing Shuiyue's death has really hurt Bi Su too much. He has such a deep love for Shui Yue. Perhaps... only Zhao Guangyi's death can solve his problem.
Is this a knot in your heart?
On the vast wilderness of ice and snow, large groups of men and horses charged back and forth, shouting and neighing, the sound was overwhelming, but under the command of flags, flags, drums and music, there was stillness and orderliness in the chaos.
In modern times, when considering the combat effectiveness of an army, in addition to defense, it is mainly evaluated from the aspects of mobility, firepower and communication capabilities. In the cold weapon era, the combat effectiveness is roughly the same. In terms of defensive effectiveness, a charging unit does not wear armor.
Weaker than armor, leather armor is weaker than iron armor, and scale armor is weaker than plate armor. However, among them, plate armor is obviously the most expensive to manufacture.
The surrounding ethnic groups today are no better than the Xiongnu during the Han Dynasty. Most of the arrows used by the Xiongnu army at that time were ground from animal bones. However, today's ethnic minorities have mastered quite superb forging and smelting technology, especially from
The Arab peoples in the Western Regions have introduced some more advanced forging technologies, even surpassing those of the Han people in the Central Plains. So if you want to minimize your own casualties, you must work hard on your armor.
Yang Hao has his own iron ore, and the coal mine is also ready-made. The two are combined, supplemented by the financial resources provided by Jisitang, and the superb forging provided by Ibn Abi Talib, an arms merchant from the Food Kingdom who claims to be a jewelry merchant.
The smelting technology and Yipintang Li Xing's weapon manufacturing skills were combined. Not only were all his elite troops equipped with iron helmets and plate breastplates to protect their vitals, but they were also far superior in far and near offensive weapons.
A cut of the opponent.
As for mobility, Yang Hao is not much better than his opponents. There are only a limited number of large food horses that can be smuggled over, and the consumption of horses they can provide is also limited. Moreover, their long-range charging speed is much better than that of Mongolian horses, but their long-distance running ability is inferior.
If you have one, you don't need to equip too much. But in the area controlled by Yang Hao, it is not difficult to get enough horses.
Since the invention of the stirrup, the cavalry has been the king of combat troops. Its mobility is dozens of times that of the infantry. Although the infantry may not suffer losses in a direct confrontation if it is commanded properly, and the cavalry may even suffer more injuries than the infantry.
However, the speed of cavalry is dozens of times that of infantry. If the cavalry is defeated, it can escape to avoid losses, but if the infantry is defeated, it will definitely collapse. The two are not at the same starting line.
Originally, the most effective weapon for infantry in the Central Plains to deal with cavalry was the bow, which was also the reason why the Song army had the largest proportion of archers. However, Yang Hao's troops were equipped with a large number of first-class bows. These bows are more like crossbows than bows, and the range of the bows is short.
, difficult to aim, and you will feel extremely tired after firing more than ten times in a row, but the crossbow is far worse. Yang Hao once marveled at the terrifying scene of thousands of crossbows firing in the movie "Hero". When he saw with his own eyes the power of a first-grade bow
, he began to realize that this kind of scene was not unattainable, and he could do it now.
His soldiers are already good at riding and shooting, and they don't even need special training. Such soldiers naturally know the power of first-class bows. When they first got first-class bows and practiced them, they already realized their power and sharp morale.
, unparalleled.
The combat exercise just now added a new tactic proposed by Yang Hao to the traditional Western Region national tactics of charging, breaking formations, and destroying enemies: Napoleonic tactics. Of course, Yang Hao did not give it this name.
name, but he used Napoleonic tactics. In the decisive battle of a large group, he used elite cavalry to squeeze the enemy, forcing its formation to shrink and become denser, and then used first-class bows and camel-borne cyclone cannons to carry out long-range strikes.
After causing extreme chaos in the opponent's formation, the heavy cavalry broke the formation, Mo Daomen swept away, and the main force of infantry swept the entire battlefield.
Although Mu En, Mu Kui and others are illiterate, they are familiar with specific tactics. Yang Hao's tactics have been practiced by them and they are familiar with them. They also know how powerful this tactic will be. If we say
They obeyed Yang Hao just because of Yang Hao's status as a young master and his benevolent and righteous demeanor as a general. From this moment on, they really felt a kind of awe for him.
Yang Hao stood in front of the formation and saw the soldiers' cooperative drills with his own eyes. He interpreted this tactic flawlessly and was very happy in his heart. However, he did not know that this tactic he stole from Napoleon was actually stolen from Napoleon.
The Yongle Emperor used three thousand elite cavalry battalions to squeeze the Mongolian cavalry formation, and then used the Shenji battalion to use the three-stage strike tactic in the front, using firearms to carry out pouring strikes and sweep across Mobei in five directions.
Invincible.
The cavalry had taken the lead in withdrawing from the martial arts field, and now the infantry team that cooperated with the battle retreated. They all had their legs clenched. The invention of this gadget increased their speed a lot, and their calf muscles were less likely to be strained during long marches.
Yang Haoduan sat on his horse. When the infantry phalanx also exited the martial arts field, he turned to Mu En and smiled: "Okay, I thought that although you guys were brave in fighting, it's a pity that you are illiterate and may not be good at training soldiers. I didn't expect that you are more than just one."
He is a fierce general and a good general. Haha, this army has been trained very well by you. Xiaoliu and Tieniu are training in Luzhou. Later, you will send a few generals who are already proficient in this tactic to give them some guidance.
Fan."
Mu En and Mu Kui were praised by him, their faces glowed red, and they responded in succession. Yang Hao was about to ride his horse back to the city, when suddenly a horseman flew from the distance like an arrow. The man was dressed in white, with a red horse under his crotch, and behind him
Wearing a bright red cloak, the horse was galloping on the snowy field, just like a red cloud flying over. Yang Hao couldn't help reining in his mount and let out a cry of surprise.
In a moment, the Pegasus had already rushed in front of Yang Hao. The knight on the horse jerked the reins, and the horse stood up. Xi Yuyu let out a long hiss, and several large clouds of white mist exhaled from the nose dissipated in front of Yang Hao.
"Yu Luo, why are you here?" Yang Hao couldn't help but smile after seeing the knight on the horse clearly.
The knight on the horse is dressed in white attire, his waist is tightly tied, and he has a sword under his ribs. His red cloak has just fallen off. He is heroic and handsome. He is none other than Ding Yuluo.
Ding Yuluo did not call her eldest brother. She gave Yang Hao a standard military salute on horseback and said angrily: "The general is watching the military exercises of the three armies today. Why don't you call me to practice in the female barracks? The general will not accept it."
Yang Hao, Muen Mukui, Ke Zhene and other generals looked at each other in astonishment, then laughed loudly and said: "Ah, yes, yes, I forgot that there is a female soldier under my command, um... it's my fault, I won't do it again today.
I'm going to mobilize female soldiers, I'm afraid it's too late, so let's wait until next time..."
Ding Yuluo smiled proudly, raised his eyebrows and said: "I knew the Generalissimo would say this. Since the Generalissimo has no intention of not inspecting my female soldiers, our people are already here. Can the Generalissimo review now?"
Yang Hao was stunned again and said with a smile: "Well, since we are here, I will take a look and see where your troops are."
Ding Yuluo was overjoyed. He took out his bow and drew an arrow with his backhand, and shot out a shot. The target was a high slope on the left. The sound of the arrow disappeared in the distance, and a red line suddenly surged out on the high slope. The red line quickly turned into
There was a huge red wave, the horns were blaring, people were like tigers, horses were like dragons, and groups of neatly dressed female soldiers surged in.
Yang Hao had no intention of sending them into battle. He only wanted them to play a role in stabilizing the rear and defending the city, so he did not equip them with more expensive plate breastplates. These female soldiers all wore lightweight cowhide armor and red raw silk cloaks.
, the fiery red tassels on the helmet were flying, like a huge red wave crashing down from the high slope, creating a spectacular scene on the snowy wasteland.
Now that Dong'er is about to give birth, she has not yet led the army in person. The female soldiers are led by Mu Qingxuan, Ding Yuluo, and Tianjiu as deputy generals. It seems that the entire team has been trained well by them in this formation. With so many of them, Ma Yin
This can be seen from the fact that after Yu Gaopo, he never made any noise to attract Yang Hao's attention.
"Wow, what a female soldier!"
"Hey, look at that, that's beautiful."
"Which one?"
"Oh my, that girl is so beautiful..."
There were exclamations one after another, and there was a commotion. Yang Hao sat still, with no expression on his face. He only glanced at the chaotic formation of his troops from the corner of his eyes. Just now, he was a heroic and orderly warrior, like a copper wall.
, look at it now... It's really worthless, but... it's really good-looking. So many women shouted for death at the same time, the sound was so crisp... Well, it was really nice to hear, and Yang Hao's eyes couldn't help but slightly curl up.
Ding Yuluo had already rode back to the team. Three cavalry teams, totaling 3,000 people, quickly formed a wedge, commanded by three lieutenants.
Although women from the northern and western regions are good at riding and shooting, they rarely go into battle, and it is even rarer to see so many uniformly dressed female soldiers appearing at the same time. The first time those soldiers saw them, they naturally shouted and screamed, which was a spectacle.
When the horn sounded, a group of female soldiers rushed out like a red lotus blooming in waves. There were about three hundred people in total. They performed charging, breaking formations, and killing skills. Each one of them was strong and heroic.
Immediately afterwards, another team of 300 people rushed out and made a tentative attack. They quickly retreated and circled the enemy's flank, drew arrows and set the string, and tried to mount a shot.
To be honest, their kung fu is by no means showy, but compared to male soldiers, their lethality is definitely much weaker. However, although they are a little worse in close combat, if they fight on a ranger, the gap is not huge.
, if the troops are really very tight, they can still play a considerable role. This is because Yang Hao did not train them deliberately, and the weapons and equipment are inferior. It is extremely commendable to have such an effect.
Already.
Yang Hao murmured to himself: "I really didn't realize that these female soldiers look pretty good when they fight."
Ke Zhene smiled proudly and said: "The women who are over sixteen and under forty years old voluntarily recruited to serve as soldiers. They only trained for ten days a month and were given a certain amount of rations as military pay. Many women signed up enthusiastically. Women from the Western Regions
He is good at riding and shooting, and he can become one with a little training."
"Do you only train ten days a month?"
After hearing this, Yang Hao nodded secretly. The equipment was not as good as others, and no one gave special tactical guidance. There was little training time every month. It was indeed extraordinary for a woman to join the army. No wonder Princess Li Xiuning of the Tang Dynasty could lead a women's army to gallop through Guanzhong.
rise to fame.
Ke Zhen'e added: "Now that the news has spread, more women want to join the army. However, it is the severe winter weather now. I am afraid they will not come until spring. These women have also been practicing riding and shooting since they were young.
In the future, as long as they are trained in military laws and disciplines and marching orders, so that they understand the meaning of golden drums, trumpets, flags and fireworks, and can command and prohibit, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, their combat power will be considerable."
Yang Hao nodded and said: "Yes, but female soldiers must be voluntary and cannot be forced to recruit men. Their parents must also agree. If you marry your husband's family, if your husband's family does not allow it, you must return it to avoid having many children."
entanglement."
Ke Zhen'e smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lieutenant. Qingxuan, Miss Tianjiu and the others would not do anything to force people to join the army. If you join the army, you will get military rations, and your family's taxes will also be reduced. Most poor families are very poor."
Willing."
While talking here, the three teams of female soldiers have all entered the battle, hunting with flags and horses neighing. On the snowy wilderness, they are fighting back and forth like a ball of fire, and they work together in perfect harmony. Wait for the sound of the golden ring.
, the three armies retreated like a tide, in an orderly manner, covering alternately, in full compliance with actual combat standards, and the tactics were remarkable. Yang Hao couldn't help but nod his head frequently.
The three female armies gathered back into a neat square formation, the horses breathed out puffs of breath, and the female knights in red sat upright on their horses, looking even more beautiful amidst the clouds of white mist. For a moment,
Kung Fu, Mu Qingxuan, Ding Yuluo, and Tianjiu came together on horseback. When they got to Yang Hao, they dismounted from their saddles and knelt down on one knee in accordance with the military salute. They said in unison: "The drill of the three armies has been completed. Please give me your instructions, Commander-in-Chief."
Yang Hao smiled and said: "It's hard for you, the training time is short and the ordnance is poor, but it has such an effect. Tell your soldiers that I am...very satisfied with them."
Tianjiu was so happy that she jumped up from the ground, jumped on her horse and whipped away, galloping past three thousand female soldiers, loudly conveying Yang Hao's instructions. Her voice was extremely loud, and Yang Hao had a good ear.
, I could vaguely hear it clearly, I just heard that she was sometimes speaking Chinese, sometimes Qiang, sometimes Khitan, sometimes Tubo, and she should all be saying the same words. It seems that these female soldiers are from different tribes, and some of them are not very familiar with the words of other tribes.
Understand.
Every time Tianjiu said it, there would be a burst of cheers from the female soldiers, but Yang Hao frowned slightly: "The language barrier can't talk about other exchanges. The Luzhou Interpretation Center must be established as soon as possible.
, summoning scholars from various tribes to translate the culture, classics, poems and songs of each tribe together with Buddhist classics. Chinese has a considerable foundation in the Western Regions, and uses this as a lingua franca to spread Buddhist classics while allowing them to
Unknowingly, I became familiar with Chinese and used it as a tool for common communication.”
Tianjiu conveyed the instructions to the three armies, and rushed back happily, loudly saying: "Commander, Tianjiu has informed the three armies of your words."
Yang Hao smiled and nodded, then suddenly straightened his face again, and said in a deep voice: "This Commander-in-Chief has issued raw silk clothing materials for the whole army. Who allowed you to make the cloaks? Huh?"
"Ah?" Tianjiu thought that Yang Hao would praise her more, but she didn't want to hear this reprimand. She rubbed her nose and looked at Ding Yuluo for help. Ding Yuluo saw her and Mu Qing.
Xuandu looked at him and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, I think... I think a red cloak will make the military look neat and imposing..."
Yang Hao interrupted her and said solemnly: "It's better to say that the female soldiers think this is pretty enough, right?"
Ding Yuluo lowered his head and said nothing. Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "I specially gave each soldier a piece of raw silk material, so that you can make it into clothes and wear them on your body. The toughness of silk is very good. If you are hit by an arrow,
It is also not easy to break, so once the arrow is hit, with this raw silk clothing material to protect the body, the arrow can be pulled out as soon as possible, without causing the wound to be too large, and it is easy to heal. Didn't I already say it when the clothing material was removed? I don't have to let it go
You went to the battlefield, but if you can strictly train yourself according to the standards of a soldier, how can you sacrifice your strengths and weaknesses on such an important matter? You changed your cloak for me when you got back. Remember, as a general, you only have two missions.
: The first is to attack the enemy, and the second is to protect yourself. Since you have become a soldier, don’t treat yourself like a woman!”
Ding Yuluo, Mu Qingxuan and Tianjiu were so punished by him that they lost their temper and had to agree obediently. Yang Hao then showed a smile and said: "You all get up, it's great for a female soldier to be as powerful as she is today."
It was beyond my expectation. Among the Khitan Shangjing Palace Guards, there was a guard army named "Fire Phoenix". Dong'er once served as the commander of this guard army. It is said that the combat power of this female soldier is not inferior to
Men, when Dong'er can mount a horse and lift a sword, I will give you a new batch of preparations and let her train well. If you train well, our female soldiers will also be called Fire Phoenix, haha.
It’s as famous as my commander’s Flying Dragon Army.”
Ding Yuluo and the others were overjoyed, and they quickly bowed their hands and saluted before returning to their formation and leading their troops to exit the school martial arts field.
Yang Hao explained to Mu En, Ke Zhen'e and others again, turned around and was about to leave. Just as he galloped a few steps, he saw another horse flying towards him. When he got close, he hurriedly reported: "Captain, Madam
I have severe abdominal pain, I’m afraid I’m going to give birth.”
"What?" Yang Hao was startled when he heard this. He didn't have time to ask any more questions. He hit his horse and galloped towards the city. A group of soldiers followed closely, and they left with the sound of thunderous hooves. When they arrived in front of the house, Yang Hao flew towards the city.
He got off his horse, raised his legs and ran inside. He hurriedly entered the backyard. As soon as he entered the moon gate, he shouted: "Where is Dong'er? Where is Dong'er? I've found Po Wen. Where is the doctor? How many are you looking for?"
A doctor with good medical skills is here just in case. Remember to boil hot water and make some nourishing old ginseng chicken soup for Dong'er..."
Yang Hao shouted all the way and ran into the flower hall. He didn't know how many times he had thought about these things. He said them out in a hurry, and he was right. He ran into the flower hall in a panic and saw Dong Dong.
Er was sitting on the couch, holding a lacquer plate in her arms, which contained dried plums. She was about to stuff a dried plum into her mouth. Yanyan and the doll, Miaomiao, were sitting next to her, staring at each other.
A pair of big almond eyes looked at him in surprise.
Yang Hao wiped off his hat and sweat, looked around, and asked cautiously: "Where is my son?"
"Ah?" Dong'er's little mouth opened into an O-shape, and the dried plums in her hand fell back to the plate. The doll couldn't help but burst out laughing, covering her mouth and saying, "Why do you talk so carelessly?"
, of course your son is still in aunt’s belly.”
Yang Hao took a long breath and sat down on the chair: "Thankfully I came here in such a hurry, I was scared to death."
Dong'er and the other girls also understood at this time and couldn't help but laugh. Dong'er rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Who wants you to send people to stare at me all day long? I just have a stomachache for a while. I don't want to do it now."
It hurts, I never knew someone would report to you."
Miaomiao also smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, we are all taking care of my aunt. If she does give birth, you, a man, won't be able to do anything if you are anxious."
Yang Hao grabbed a cup of leftover tea that belonged to an unknown lady, drank it down, wiped his mouth and said: "If you are careless, you often have labor pains, that means you are about to give birth. Wen Po and the doctor please come into the house for a while."
Wait, so as not to be in a hurry."
Dong'er smiled and said: "The slave family knows, and they have prepared for these things. Brother Hao can't help but be so nervous." Saying this, seeing Yang Hao being nervous about herself, Dong'er felt a sweet feeling in her heart. It was so cold.
Seeing that Yang Hao's head was dripping with sweat, Dong'er couldn't bear it for a while and said, "I feel really sorry for the labor officials running around like this. I'm fine here. Officials, please go and take a bath. The heat in the house is so hot."
Water is always on hand now.”
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Dong'er was okay, Yang Hao felt relieved and stood up and said, "I'm going to take a bath while you sit still."
Wawa and Miaomiao's eyes flashed, and they all fell to the ground. They said in a sweet voice: "I will wait for you to take a bath."
After saying this, before Yang Hao could agree, the fragrant wind drifted by, and the two people had already passed by Yang Hao, swaying gracefully and rushing to get ready. Yang Hao shook his head, smiled, and followed them out.
"These two vixens are trying to seduce him in broad daylight." Tang Yanyan was very angry when he saw it, but she was no better than Wawa and Miaomiao. From the beginning, they took the position of their concubine, and this concubine was actually half of his wife. As a slave, it was only natural for me to wait for my master to take a bath, but she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After rolling his eyes twice, Tang Yanyan suddenly smiled. Dong'er asked in surprise: "What are you laughing at, sister Yan'er?"
Tang Yanyan smiled and said: "There is always hot water in the house. It was originally used to prepare my sister for delivery. Unexpectedly, our young master from the Yang family hasn't used it yet, but his father enjoyed it first. It's really interesting. Let me take a look."
As Tang Yanyan spoke, he ducked down to the ground and called out: "Xiaoyuan, Xing'er, Yao Niang, please take care of auntie."
Dong'er shook her head and chuckled behind her. How could she not know what the little girls had planned? Although she was shy and had never participated in the ridiculous actions of Yanyan and the others, the three of them and the officials were greatly disturbed. The affair of sleeping together was not hidden from her, and she knew about it. When a woman gets married, she has to have children to please her husband's family. The three sisters' stomachs haven't moved yet. It's strange that they don't worry. , of course I would pester Brother Hao every chance I got.
Although Dong'er is about the same age as them, even a little younger than the doll, she has a natural calm temperament and is quite like a big woman. She didn't take the sisters' little tricks to heart, and picked up a piece with a smile. She put the dried plums in her mouth and just chewed it twice when she suddenly remembered something: "The official always said he didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl, but when he came in he asked where his son was. Yanyan also said that the young master of the Yang family, my husband. The family is sparse, and everyone is looking forward to me giving birth to a son. What if... this first child gives birth to a daughter? "
Thinking of this, Dong'er couldn't help but feel worried...
On this day, the Liao Kingdom came to Beijing, and the Golden Palace, which had been suspended for more than ten days, was once again filled with civil and military officials. A long time had passed, and the Queen had not yet gone to the palace. To the north, Dulingya Dugu Wuyang stood on tiptoe to look at the empty Golden Palace. The seater looked at it, then quietly moved forward and asked in a low voice: "Why hasn't your Majesty been promoted to the palace?"
Shi Fang, the Prime Minister of the North Courtyard, whispered: "The chamberlain has just sent news that the prince is nursing. Uh... let's wait a little longer."
"Oh..." Dugu Wuyang stroked his beard and slowly returned to the main team. At this time, he saw an eunuch striding up to the hall, stopped in the middle, and loudly announced: "Your Majesty is coming to court~ ~~"
The civil and military officials quickly straightened their backs and saw two palace maids holding a pair of feather fans and slowly walking out from the back of the palace to protect Xiao Chuo.
Xiao Chuo wears a crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, a bright yellow Kesi women's cotton court robe with colorful clouds and gold dragon patterns, the collar and cuffs are both embroidered with azure dragon patterns, and a long skirt with eight phoenix tails. Two palace maids are dragging behind them. In addition to the skirt and the court robe, there was a half-length silver mink fur, and she slowly climbed up the imperial steps.
Her clear face without makeup was shiny and white, and the precious light was flowing. She was holding a yellow swaddle in her arms, with a pair of small hands stretched out inside, grabbing Xiao Chuo's skirt, and she could vaguely hear him There was a babbling sound. Many people fixed their eyes on the small hands and held their breaths.
Xiao Chuo climbed up the imperial steps, his phoenix eyes slowly swept over him, his unparalleled magnificence forced all the officials to bend down involuntarily. Xiao Chuo had not given birth for a long time, and his constitution was still weak, but standing on the imperial steps On the top, the voice was extremely clear and clear: "The late emperor passed away, and the throne has been vacant for more than half a year. I know that a country cannot be without a king for a day. However, although the late emperor passed away, fortunately there was a trace of blood left behind, and I have all my beloved ministers to inspire loyalty. , to save the country from danger, the country will finally have something to rely on. I also mourned the death of the late emperor, but there has been death since ancient times, and the sages and saints are the same. The life span is poor, and the people are all together, how can it be deeply painful? Only the ancestor Hong The foundation is the most important thing and cannot be abandoned. Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, I have given birth to a prince..."
Xiao Chuo slowly raised the swaddling clothes in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The sacred weapon is very important, and the steps are difficult. Now that the prince is born, it is appropriate to order a minister to prepare a day to prepare a car to welcome him to the throne of the emperor. The clan and the country are in peace, and the discipline is regular.
Zhen. To manage and protect the country, to rule over all nations."
After Xiao Chuo finished speaking, he slowly looked at the ministers and saw that no one dared to object. His stern expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "In the past, Duke Kuang of Zhou became the king, and the Huo family supported Xiao Zhao, and his righteousness was preserved in the past, and his merits were crowned by the second generation.
, isn’t it the way of a royal minister? All the ministers, as expected of the time, listen respectfully and consider orders, carry out the entrustment, and work together to cut off the gold in order to seek for the royal family.
Shifang, Guo Xi, Yelu Xiezhen, and Yelu Xiuge are all the Qiancheng of the country. Although there are internal and external problems, their ambitions are the same. I hope that for the sake of my fate, I hope that all the ministers will have arms like lips and teeth, cooperate with each other externally and internally, and work together to bless them.
Chongyou, strengthen the country of my ancestors, and make the spirit of the late emperor peaceful in the nine heavens, special edict!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" All civil and military officials knelt down and shouted long live. All the guards, servants, and everyone in the palace, including those in the palace and outside the palace, prostrated themselves on the ground. The sound of the mountain shouts shook the palace.
