More than 30 miles north of the city.

The Yuan army camp is located here, from a distance, the terrain here is just hilly, and the camps are closely connected, and then separated by guard towers and arrow towers, above which stand guard soldiers and crossbowmen look at each other, and the view of the square circle can be seen at a glance.

The inside and outside of the camp are also distributed with groups of patrol sergeants to patrol back and forth, guarding the safety of the barracks, and the barracks are covered with extremely cold spears on the periphery of the camp, and the horse rejection array is spread outside the camp to prevent the enemy from breaking the camp.

If you look closely, you can also find that there are layers of dark pits dug around the barracks, and many sharp knives are buried in it, supplemented by sand and stones.

If people who are not familiar with the military camp pass and don't pay attention to the fall, I am afraid that it will be a situation where thousands of arrows will pierce the heart on the spot.

At this moment, in the barracks, there was a sound of slaughter from the soldiers drilling.

Camps.

Yuan Yao was wearing a strong suit, with a sword hanging from his waist, standing on a high platform and quietly watching the drills of the 3,000 headquarters team he had personally formed in the past month, surrounded by Yuan Jiao, a domestic servant and guard, and Cui Zhouping, a guest.

After staring at the army for a while, he couldn't help but smile with relief after seeing that this army already had preliminary combat strength, and when he moved his gaze to the other battalion on the side, his face was gloomy, and he muttered: "How long has it been since the generals under my father's command set foot in the barracks?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Jiao from the side was stunned, and then replied truthfully: "Son Qiyu, it's been a whole month." ”

"A month?"

As soon as these words fell, Yuan Yao sighed again and again: "Alas. The so-called general is the soul of the soldiers, and the generals can condense their strong combat power only when they work together, but the generals under his father's command are so lazy, which also causes the sergeants to be loose in military discipline and have no intention of training, so what is the use of such soldiers even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers? ”

At this moment, when Yuan Yao carefully observed that the sergeants of the rest of the battalions did not organize the training of the school at all, but gathered in groups of three or five to gamble, he now suddenly understood why Yuan Shu in the original history would suffer such a huge defeat when he advanced north into the Central Plains with tens of thousands of superior military strength.

With such a loose army with military discipline, it is strange that it can win the battle of Kuangting.

But even though he witnessed all this, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

He didn't have the slightest military position, and he was still young, and the identity of this young master alone was not enough to deter the generals in the army.

As if seeing Yuan Yao's inner worries, Cui Zhou on one side smiled, looked sideways at another barracks, and responded with his hands: "If General Hou does not carry out a large-scale reform of the military rank, supplemented by the election of talented generals, I am afraid that the situation of going north to the Central Plains will suffer a head-on blow and collapse for thousands of miles." ”

Talking about the general situation, Yuan Yao listened and looked sideways at Cui Zhouping's gaze.

In the successive barracks, there were footsteps, formations, and drills all day long, and the sergeants were full of spirit and strict military discipline.

At a glance, it is the state of a hundred battles.

After staring at it for a long time, calming down a little, Yuan Yao couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Since General Sun Wentai died in Xiangyang City, my father took over his old department, it seems that Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals are all veterans who have followed General Sun Wentai for many years, and they have a lot of experience in the battle array, but now they are being idle, and they really can't make the best use of their talents!" ”

Although this is his own father, he can't help but complain helplessly.

If my father can take on the important task of Sun Jian's old ministry, I am afraid that the morale of the army will not be so scattered, and the future Kuangting War will not be defeated by a few victories.

"It's rare for a son to be able to evaluate his father so objectively."

Hearing this, the smile on Cui Zhou's plane on one side became brighter and brighter, and he muttered in a low voice.

He has also been with Yuan Yao for a while, and in recent days, Yuan Yao's conversation and behavior have been seen in his eyes, and his recognition of him in his heart has naturally doubled day by day.

The two talked again for half a night.

Only when the sun was about to set in the west, outside the barracks was the attendant of the Hou General's Mansion, and after he met Yuan Yao, he first bowed his hand and said, "The villain sees the son." ”

"Yuan Chen, do you have something important to do here?"

This person is the commander of the guards of the Yuan Mansion, and he is mainly responsible for the management of the daily affairs of the Mansion and the security of the Mansion on weekdays.

"Childe. Everything is fine in the house, but the son has not returned to the house for many days, and the lady misses you very much, she has cooked a sumptuous dinner tonight, and the special villain came to ask you to return to the house today. ”

As soon as the words fell, looking at Yuan Chen's solemn expression, and the several strong men standing behind him, who were five big and three thick, and had a strong martial arts, they already realized that if they didn't go home today, they would probably be forcibly tied up.

"Good!"

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao smiled lightly and responded.

It's night.

Yuan Yao rode in a carriage, and Yuan Jiao, Yuan Chen, and a group of stick-wielding guards guarded both sides of the carriage, and gradually arrived outside the mansion.

……

Inside the Yuan Mansion.

In front of the hall, several shelves were spliced together to form a large desk, and a plate of butterflies of food was placed on the table at the moment, and the servants around were constantly going back and forth in the kitchen to serve dishes.

But there are exceptions, a woman who is about fifteen years old, wearing a light-colored long dress, her hair is sandwiched by a hairpin, and she only wears a little light makeup on her face, but her vivid beautiful eyes seem to be as beautiful as a fairy, but at this moment she is quietly staring at a plate of butterflies and rich dishes drooling, and her stomach is squirming.

She stared at it carefully for a long time, and was about to reach out to steal the fish, but suddenly a stern voice sounded behind her: "Wan'er." ”

"Mother."

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly withdrew her hand and looked left and right, calling softly.

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed in a beautiful dress and with her hair coiled up, although she was over thirty years old, she also had a unique flavor in terms of beauty.

"Wan'er. Your eldest brother hasn't arrived yet, why are you going to steal it again? ”

The middle-aged woman approached and bowed down to place the dishes on the table, then looked at the woman and said.

"This ...... Mother...... Mother, I didn't ......"

For a while, the woman seemed to have done something wrong, and she couldn't come back for a long time.

Fortunately, suddenly a person rushed into the hall, it was Yuan Chen, the previous commander of the guards, and then he arched his hand and said, "Mrs. Qiqi." The villain has welcomed Childe back. ”

Hearing that her brother was back, Yuan Wan couldn't help but be embarrassed, and suddenly had a plan, and hurriedly said: "Mother, since my brother is back, the child will immediately go to the other garden to find his father for dinner." ”

As soon as the words fell, she trotted away with a blushing face.

"This girl, alas, ......"

Looking at Yuan Wan's temperament, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but shake her head.

A moment later.

Yuan Yao walked into the front of the hall and said, "The child sees his mother." ”

This middle-aged woman is Yuan Yao's biological mother, the daughter of Feng Fang, the captain of Sili, and the wife of Yuan Shu.

"You child has been out for many days and has not come back, don't you know how much your mother cares about you?"

Seeing Yuan Yao's safe return, Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with longing and a smile on his face.

"Mother. Isn't the child growing up, thinking that he should also share his father's worries, so he went deep into the barracks to personally preside over the training of sergeants. ”

Yuan Yao's words were extremely beautiful, and for a while, Feng Shi didn't know how to deal with it, and he was silent for a while, so he had to sigh: "Alas." Take a seat, the food is cold. ”

Seeing that there was no one in front of the hall, Yuan Yao couldn't help asking, "Mother." What about Wan'er? ”

"This girl. When she saw that you had returned, she went to the other garden to find your father. ”

Speaking of this, Feng couldn't help asking, "Yao'er." By the way, have you been at odds with your father these days? ”

"No, no."

When the words fell, Yuan Yao hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, but seeing the disbelief on his face, he couldn't help but explain: "Mother." The child just had some disagreements with his father on business, and it was fine. ”

Seeing that his expression was calm, Feng Shi didn't ask too much.

Dinner.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao's father and son sat opposite each other and dined, but Yuan Shu saw Yuan Yao is angry look, obviously still angry.

Yuan Yao also pretended to bow his head to eat, but he also pretended not to see anything.

This is unusual, but Yuan Wan, who was on the side, could see it clearly, and couldn't help but lean over to Yuan Shu's side and shake her elbow, and said, "Father." Didn't you miss your eldest brother, you couldn't wipe your face so your mother sent Yuan Commander to invite your brother back to the house, and now that your brother is back, how do you look like this? ”

"Wan'er."

"Children's home, talk less."

For a while, Yuan Shu suddenly scolded with a straight face, and then as if the matter had been leaked, he didn't dare to look up at Yuan Yao anymore.

Yuan Wan returned to her seat sullenly and continued to eat.

At this time, Yuan Yao understood something from his sister's ordinary words.

It turned out that it was not his mother who invited him to go home, but his cheap father.

"Father. You miss your child and tell me bluntly, and you still do this twist and turn, and ask me to come back in the name of your mother. ”

"Shut up."

Yuan Yao laughed and joked for a while, and Yuan Shu also pretended to scold.

This expression did not seem to be a reprimand in Yuan Yao's eyes, but it was extremely arrogant.

"Daddy, have you forgiven me for my actions a few days ago, or is there something important for me to discuss?"

On the other hand, Yuan Yao couldn't help but groan secretly while eating.

After finishing the meal with a heart, Yuan Yao went straight to the master bedroom and found his father: "Father." It's time for us to have a good talk between father and son, right? ”
