On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it happened to be the day when Cao Li'er returned to the door three days after her marriage, Cao Tiancheng ran to the Governor's Mansion and invited Gao Yuan and his wife to Cao's mansion together, in Cao Tiancheng's words, Gao Yuan is Cao's reborn parents, no Gao Yuan, not to mention that Cao's family is now prosperous, but I am afraid that he has already died in the chaos of the soldiers, and even his bones are about to turn to ashes.

It is said that it is a return door, in fact, Sun Xiao's mansion is only a stone's throw away from the Cao family, in Jishi City, all the high-ranking officials and generals are all courtyards with three entrances and three exits in a unified format, with the governor's mansion as the center, diverging to both sides, constituting a whole street, out of the door of Sun Xiao's house, not far forward, and then to Cao's mansion.

Gao Yuan, who was sitting firmly in the lobby, saw Sun Xiaoqi, who was full of red light, walked in with a lofty face, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, this guy has been a bachelor for more than 30 years, and once he hugged the beauty, he still doesn't know what the beauty looks like? Although Cao Li'er was born in a small family, she has followed Ye Jing'er for several years, but her appearance and posture have already been trained, and her every move is comparable to that of an ordinary small family?

"I've seen the Governor, ma'am!" Sun Xiao strode forward, clenched his fists with both hands, and slammed it to the ground, this marriage was facilitated by Gao Yuan's efforts, he never thought that he could marry a daughter like Cao Li'er, even if his current identity is different from before, but the Cao family is only stronger than him, not to mention that Cao Li'er has been cultivated by Ye Jing'er for several years like a nine-day fairy, and Sun Xiao himself is ashamed of himself.

The husband is more than ten years older than his wife, so naturally he is cared for and loved in every way.

"I'd better thank you first!" Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "Lao Cao has raised his daughter for more than ten years, but it's cheap for you kid!" ”

Sun Xiao walked in front of Cao Tiancheng and couldn't help blushing, everyone was colleagues before, and Lao Cao and Lao Cao shouted nonsense. became a father-in-law all of a sudden, and he was a little at a loss, but Cao Tiancheng was on the shelf at this time, sitting steadily, looking at Sun Xiao with a smile.

In everyone's smiles, Sun Xiao's face was flushed, and he knelt down in front of Cao Tiancheng with Cao Li'er, kowtowing and thanking him. Cao Tiancheng laughed and stepped forward to help Sun Xiao up, beating his chest hard, this is a game that everyone used to play. The pride in Cao Tiancheng's heart can be seen.

After a set of etiquette was done, Ye Jing'er pulled Cao Li'er to the back, naturally some women have something to say, which can't be known to men, and these men in the hall are all powerful figures, they are together, naturally it is a military matter, and several women's families are present. I don't understand it, and it's not quite appropriate.

The women left, Gao Yuan looked at the high-spirited Sun Xiao, and wanted to make a few jokes. But thinking that the father-in-law of the other family was present, he could only endure the words.

"Sun Xiao, when are you going to leave?" Cao Tiancheng naturally cares about his daughter, and it has only been a few days since the two got married. According to the original plan, Sun Xiao was going to set off for the Hetao area after the year, and Xu Yuan, the vanguard of the troops under his command. Gongsun Yi, Luo Lei, Helian Po and others had already set off a year ago.

"It's past the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" Sun Xiao said: "At present, the household department is mobilizing the materials and ordnance we need to go to the Hetao area, and the troops are also making final adjustments. ”

"Fifteen, that's only ten days. In the past ten days, you must be very busy, and you will have less time to accompany Li'er, and this time, I am afraid that it will be a few years of hard work. Cao Tiancheng said abruptly.

Sun Xiao opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, a manly man, his career has not been accomplished, this time is naturally not the time for children to be in love.

"After Sun Xiao goes, if he has a firm foothold, he can take Li'er over!" Gao Yuan turned the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "It depends on whether Sun Xiao has this ability." Look good, maybe the year will be time, and the husband and wife will be reunited. ”

"How can it be so easy?" Cao Tiancheng sighed: "We are eyeing this piece of fat, Thorpe will naturally not let it go, Donghu's Yuwen Department Yuwen is also moving in that direction with the whole army, accompanied by tens of thousands of slaves assigned to him by Thorpe, what they want to do, don't ask." ”

"Yu Wenke!" Sun Xiao laughed cruelly, "Watch me pinch his balls when the time comes." ”

"This person is not to be taken lightly." Gao Yuan shook his head, "This person was on Soke's side at the beginning of the civil strife in Donghu, but in the end, the Yuwen Department was not only unscathed, but also regained Thorpe's trust, it can be seen that this Yuwen Ke is an extremely difficult guy, Sun Xiao, among your troops, there are more Hun cavalry, and in the future, your department will develop there, and it will also be mainly to absorb the Huns, how to get along with the Hun generals, you have to grasp it well, not only to achieve absolute control, but also to make them happy and convinced, it is not easy to do this!" ”

"On the cavalry side, Gongsun Yi has been able to take on the big responsibility now, and he has been in our army for a long time, there is no problem with loyalty, Helian Po was the patriarch of the Hun clan before, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with, Luo Lei is a fierce general, simple-minded, and all their clansmen are in Jishi City, but they are not afraid of their hearts.!" Sun Xiao thought for a while, "The two army commanders assigned to me by the governor, Xu Yuan and Yan Peng, are both talented generals, I am ashamed to say, if I talk about the way of marching and fighting, I am not as good as them, my previous troops, plus Yan Peng's four thousand Hejian soldiers, the strength of our northern group army is now the strongest among the four group armies, if I can't win Yu Wenke, what face do I have to come back?" ”

"The most important thing now is the war against Donghu, except for you and He Lanxiong, Ye Zhen and Ye Zhong are both empty commanders now, and the little manpower in their hands can only maintain one law and order." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "But the two of them are guarding different places, as long as the money and food are enough, they will soon be able to build an army, you have to be prepared, when the time comes, there will be new recruits coming to you to fight in turn." ”

Sun Xiao opened his mouth wide, "No, Governor, when the time comes, if you send new soldiers, you will definitely take away my old soldiers, isn't this our Northern Group Army training for them again?" ”

"Look at what you say, Sun Xiao, it's not atmospheric at all!" Cao Tiancheng on the side said dissatisfiedly: "What is the north, the east and the south, they are all the soldiers of the governor." ”

Sun Xiao shrugged, this is true, but it is impossible to be happy for any general.

"The magnitude of the transfer will not be large, and it will never affect your combat effectiveness." Gao Yuandao: "We can't just see what is in front of us, but we must also look at the long-term, which is this." I don't say you understand. ”

Sun Xiao nodded, "Since the governor has spoken, I naturally have no opinion, but the governor, I have a little request, and I ask the governor to allow it." ”

"You say."

"The two army commanders, Xu Yuan and Yan Peng, who were assigned to me by the Governor, have no experience in commanding large-scale cavalry operations, and to be honest, I don't have either, so I would like to ask the Governor for permission to set up an independent cavalry team."

"Who do you want to lead this cavalry team?" Takato touched his chin thoughtfully. Asked.

"Naturally, it is Helian Po, he has experience in commanding large-scale cavalry before, and his status among the Huns is far higher than that of Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei, if Gongsun Yi is the leader, I am afraid that there will be discord at that time. With Helian Po as the leader, Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei as the two deputies, in this way, a way of checks and balances can be naturally formed. Sun Xiaodao.

"You've thought it through, so be it. Your Northern Army is in two armies, and I will give you another independent cavalry division, 10,000 cavalry, and extra cavalry. It was assigned to Xu Yuan and Yan Peng's troops, understand? ”

"I understand!" Sun Xiao laughed. At this moment, there was an additional independent cavalry division, and the other three guys knew. Aren't you so angry that your eyes are red?

"Don't be too optimistic and underestimate the enemy!" Gao Yuan reminded: "Stand firm, both offensive and defensive, when the time comes, Helan Xiong's side will launch an attack to contain some of the enemy." But on your side, it must be Thorpe's point. After defeating Yu Wenke, there will inevitably be a stronger opponent coming. ”

"I understand what the governor means, before I really have the strength, I will maintain a small victory with Yuwen Ke, once the strength is ready, I will immediately destroy the opponent with a thunderous momentum, so that the Donghu people are caught off guard, and when they react, I have stabilized the situation."

"In the early stage, we will spare no effort to support you, but I hope that in the end you can be self-sufficient, especially in terms of food, you know, we transport food for you from here, and the loss along the way is too great."

"In a year's time, I only need weapons, not food!" Sun Xiao said confidently: "Governor, please rest assured, when I came to Jishi City, this place was not a barren place, but now it is a fertile land. ”

"That's why I sent you there! Do this, you're a good hand! Takato laughed.

Cao Tiancheng on the side suddenly said: "Speaking of weapons, Dudu, this time there is a big businessman of Wei who came here to attend the wedding of Li'er, and he has just joined our four seas trade, this time he came in person, I was also taken aback, and later met with him, only to know that he had other plans." He wanted to see the governor for the purpose of obtaining some unique weapons for our expedition to the Eastern Mansion, such as the arm crossbow and so on. ”

"A merchant of Wei?" Gao Yuan's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, a businessman of Wei State, this person has quite a background in Wei State, the destruction of Korea is imminent, and Wei State is dying of cold lips and teeth, and he is also sick and rushed to the hospital at this time." Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.

Gao Yuan touched his chin, "This is a bit interesting, Tiancheng, you arrange a time, I will see him." ”

"Du Du, these things are our weapons for the Eastern Mansion, and they have always been controlled weapons, so it's not good to sell them like this, once they leak out, if they become weapons against us in the future, wouldn't they lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot?" Sun Xiao on one side objected.

Gao Yuan shook his head again and again, "You can't say that, the arm crossbow is now no secret to all countries, we have lost a lot on the battlefield, people want to get him, it is not difficult to imitate him, there is no secret in this world that can be kept forever, but if you want to make us so powerful, it will be too much power, which involves not only the structure of the arm crossbow, but also materials and processes, etc., if the Wei people want to buy, as long as they are willing to pay a lot of money, why can't they?" Seize this opportunity to make a good fortune. ”

"And in the ensuing war, we can drag the Qin people back!" Cao Tiancheng Dao.

"That's it!" (To be continued......)
