Li Yang just smiled when he heard this, but didn't speak, what he was thinking at this time was: "In the place where I used to live, everyone broke their heads and wanted to have a daughter, because giving birth to a son is equivalent to giving birth to a money-losing goods for themselves.

Isn't there such a saying, if a poor family gives birth to a son, the father can only smoke dry tobacco, and in the family that gives birth to a daughter, the old father smokes Liqun or something, if the first daughter in the family is born, then the father can directly smoke China. ”

Of course, this is just a joke and cannot be taken seriously.

For the first time, the three of them sat around the same case to eat and chat, at first Cai Yan and Gongsun Yao were still a little restrained, but they let go of the two daughters while eating, the two daughters got along very well, the wife Cai Yan was quite generous, and Gongsun Yao was also polite, and there had never been any intrigue between the two daughters.

The three of them were talking while eating, Li Fu had never said that he didn't eat or sleep, Li Yang himself couldn't do this, he had never been influenced by Confucian culture, so naturally he didn't eat that.

At first, Cai Yan was a little uncomfortable, but when she got along with Li Yang for a long time, she was naturally led astray by Li Yang.

This is also something that can't be helped, you can't always talk there every time you eat, and she herself is like a stuffy gourd and ignores him, right? If she really did that, the result would be self-evident, Li Yang would definitely not eat with her on the same case in the future!

As a result, Cai Yan gradually made concessions and changes.

Li Yang and Cai Yan's two daughters ate a relatively warm dinner this time.

Just as the dinner was coming to an end, the old servant in charge of the governor's mansion walked in, he bowed to Li Yang and the others, and then walked quickly to Li Yang's side, and said, "Lord, the old lady ordered someone to bring you some things. ”

Li Yang nodded and said, "Let people bring things in." ”

"No!" The old servant agreed, and then withdrew.

After a long time!

Two older personal maids who had been serving by Yang's side for many years were let in after being interrogated by Dian Wei.

One of them held a tray in both hands with a set of winter clothes on it.

The maidservant saluted Li Yang and the others, and one of them said: "Childe, the old lady has been working tirelessly to sew a mink fur and a pair of cotton shoes for you, and the special slave maid sent it to you today. ”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Li Yang was very moved.

Li Yang accepted the gift that Yang had made for himself, and then ordered someone to get a pen and paper, and he wrote a letter to Yang.

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late, who is careless, and I will be rewarded with three springs! ”

Signed: Li Yang thanked his mother for his great kindness.

——————————————

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the sky just flashed with a touch of fish belly white!

The urn city at the north and south gate of Xiangping City was densely packed with 20,000 Youzhou soldiers who were about to go to battle.

At the same time, the square in front of the governor's mansion was also full of people, and Li Hu led 5,000 Youzhou soldiers to be reviewed by Li Yang here!

After everything was completed, Li Yang would lead 25,000 descendants to embark on the journey.

The 25,000 men and horses can really be called Li Yang's descendants.

If the 50,000 men and horses led by Han Bao are just talking about the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, then the 25,000 men and horses led by Li Yang are really the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, they follow Li Yang to fight for thousands of miles, they are Li Yang's reliance, and they are also the pride and backbone of Youzhou.

In many places, you can see how they are different from ordinary soldiers.

For example, from the point of view of dressing, the clothing and equipment of these 25,000 Youzhou soldiers are almost a bit modern, cotton boots, cotton hats, cotton gloves, and a white military coat is worn on the outside, this military coat is designed by Li Yang himself, and is made by women overnight during the agricultural slack, even if they work overtime to catch up, they only make more than 30,000 sets, so this descendant under Li Yang took the lead in changing this batch of novel military coats.

The weapons and equipment of the 25,000 men were also quite advanced, the light infantry had steel swords at the waist and hips, held rattan cards (shields) in their hands, wore cotton hats, iron helmets, wore armor, military coats, and in addition, there were chain arm guards and chain leg guards.

The heavy infantry carried spears, wore chain mail, hats, and chain arm guards and chain leg guards, although they wore similar clothes to the light infantry, but their equipment was twice as heavy as that of the light infantry.

The most popular is the 1,000 guards led by Dian Wei, silver helmets, white armor, white boots, white military coats, white horses under the crotch, and the Fang Tian painting halberd plated with a layer of silver in his hand, white from head to toe, it is very good-looking.

The soldiers were carrying marching backpacks weighing more than 40 pounds on their shoulders, which were mainly filled with dry food and bedding, which could reduce a lot of burden on the baggage troops.

Don't look at only forty catties, but that's forty catties per person, and this army has 25,000 people, each carrying forty catties, that is 1.2 million catties (, it's a lot, I almost didn't believe it, I deliberately used a calculator to calculate it), after the dry food is eaten, the soldiers can also fill the marching backpack repeatedly, I have to say, they have reduced a large part of the trouble and burden for the logistics troops.

Of course, forty pounds is a lot, but it is really nothing to this army, because carrying heavy cross-country is one of the daily training contents of this army, and these soldiers are only carrying marching backpacks on the march, and when they are about to arrive at the battlefield, they will unload the burden on their bodies, and no one wants to carry dozens of pounds to fight.

Li Hu turned over and dismounted, first saluted Li Yang standing in front of the mansion, and then read the holy decree by the eunuch who came from Xu Du, the old eunuch pulled the voice of the male duck, and read it out loud: "The edict of the Son of Heaven said: Yuan Shao's mercenaries are self-respecting, do not obey the emperor's orders, and have a heart of disobedience.

Announce to the world, let the salty make it known! ”

"Long live Your Majesty, thank you!" Li Yang saluted solemnly.

Taking the holy decree handed by the eunuch and holding it high above his head, Li Yang said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

The 5,000 Youzhou soldiers standing in the square in front of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion knelt on one knee and responded loudly: "The last general! ”

"If you don't break Yuan Shao's oath, you won't pay it back." Li Yang said loudly!

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Victory, victory, victory!" ”

Li Yang turned over and got on his horse and turned slightly, but saw a person standing behind the shadow wall, it was his mother Yang, Li Yang smiled and bowed to Yang, and then waved his hand at the five thousand soldiers, and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

When the five thousand soldiers heard this, they turned back in unison, and then marched towards the south gate with neat steps!

How neat is it? In the words of the onlookers, it is almost impossible to hear the slightest shred of footsteps, and people only hear the sound of "one! One! One, two, one! This is someone shouting a trumpet, one is to make people take the left foot, which is exactly the same as the queue slogan of modern soldiers.

It was only then that everyone finally felt the horror of this army, and the discipline they embodied alone was enough to be proud of the whole world.

Looking at the back of the departing army, Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "My son will win this battle, I don't have to worry about it!" ”
