"What do you say.... I was surprised. Yuan Xi lost his mind for a moment and asked, "Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao..... Did he really reprimand you? Do you still support me in marrying a Goguryeo princess? ”

"yes."

Yuan Xi said with some surprise: "You thank them for me." However, I have already rejected the Goguryeo envoys... ”

Zhen Mi said hurriedly: "The husband must not refuse. Mr. Xun said that the Buyeo nobles of Goguryeo have always wanted to find an opportunity to go to war. The king of Goguryeo couldn't suppress it anymore, and wanted to use the matter of peace and relatives to resolve the conflict. If the husband refuses them, it will be a great insult to them, and I am afraid that war will start immediately. ”

"This is what Xun Chen asked you to say?"

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi put Yuan Zhuo on the ground, handed it to Yahuan on the side, and said, "You are too stupid, why did you arrange for me to marry Goguryeo?" ”

"I'm a woman and don't know how to do politics. But I know that offending Goguryeo is especially detrimental to my husband. The people of the border will also suffer. If so, how can I be at peace? Zhen Mi said.

Yuan Xi heard it...

These words are all taught by Xun Chen.

Zhen Mi continued: "The husband's affection is righteous, and the concubine's body is deeply felt. It's just that.... You don't really need to do it. Otherwise, the world will say... The husband is afraid of the inside, and the concubine is fierce. Yu Fujun's reputation is not good, and it is not conducive to his husband's great cause. ”

"This was taught by Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, right?" Yuan Xi asked a little speechlessly.

Zhen Mi lowered her head slightly...

Yuan Xi got up and said, "It's really a strange news. Marrying a wife with fewer wives is a fear of guilt, and a wife's opposition is a fierce one. It is no wonder that three wives and four concubines are ordinary gifts, but those who love each other have become strangers. ”

"The concubine still has a word."

"Say it."

Zhen Mi said: "If you want to marry, you might as well marry more." In addition to the princesses of Goguryeo, there are also the daughters of those families, and they are also married. Isn't it better for the Hebei family to assist the husband with one heart. ”

"Hehe..." Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Mi'er, you go and ask your second brother and third brother to see if they agree?" ”

"They'll agree. Besides, if the husband wants to marry a wife, which round will they object? ”

"You'd be wrong." Yuan Xi said: "Marrying a Goguryeo princess is to solve the border troubles. Without border troubles, the family's business can be more stable. If you marry the daughter of a family, then... ”

"Oh."

Zhen Mi seemed to understand all of a sudden.

The head of the family in Hebei is the Zhen family, the Zhen family wants to develop and grow, monopolize the market economy, and never allow other families to get involved in the wholesale of Xi paper and Qiong syrup jade liquor. If Yuan Xi marries the daughters of other families and wholesales Xi paper and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor, it is bound to compete with the Zhen family for the market. It is right for Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao to assist Yuan Xi with peace of mind, but they also have to ensure their status.

Yuan Xi took Zhen Mi's hand and said, "I don't have any feelings for that Goguryeo princess, and I don't want to marry her and let her go, delaying her life." So I'm not going to marry. If Goguryeo wants to go to war, I will accompany it. Just give me a chance to destroy them! As for the daughters of the families, I will not marry them. You can tell Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao that they will always be the number one family in Hebei, and Xi paper and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor are only wholesaled to them. Each family can go to the Zhen family to wholesale, and then expand the market. ”

showed his attitude, and Yuan Xi's mood was much more relaxed.

Zhen Mi was so moved that she hugged Yuan Xi and cried.

Assassin's House.

In the conference hall.

There were a lot of civil and military gatherings.

"I heard that Zhang Yan has captured Hedong County?"

"Cao Cao won a big victory in Hefei and has returned to Xuchang..."

"Zhang Yan's 200,000 troops are right under our noses, so we have to guard against it."

.............

The civil and military are talking nonsense.

Yuan Xi walked in with a book and sat down on the top seat.

"Meet the Lord..." Everyone saluted.

Yuan Xi opened the book and said, "In the past two months, the local troops of the twelve counties of Jizhou have all been stationed in Yecheng for reorganization and reconstruction. I consulted with Mr. Fu and decided that the soldiers of the two states should be divided into three ranks. ”

"Dare to ask the lord, what are the three levels?" Jaw asked.

"General Zhang, don't be impatient." Yuan Xi said: "The first rank is the local army. That is, the county soldiers everywhere. There were about 500 soldiers in each county, and 2,000 in the county. The equipment is poor, and it is not equipped with equipment such as stone throwings, strong crossbows, and chariots. It is commanded by the county lieutenants of each county and the county lieutenants of each county, and obeys the orders of the Jizhou chief bookkeeper and Youzhou master Xun Chen, and all the mobilization of troops must have their warrants. ”

"The second rank is the regular army. Due to the annual war, the number of young and strong people is limited, and an army of 200,000 is temporarily formed. It is stationed in Hebei, You, Liaodong and North Korea. Equipped with well-equipped weapons, training on the right track. Led by He Mao, Jiao Touch, Ju Yi, Yan Liang, and Gao Lan. Directly obey me. Any mobilization of the regular army requires my written order. ”

"The third rank is the Honorable Soldier. Can anyone tell me what honor means? Yuan Xi glanced at everyone.

Guo Tu said: "Returning to the lord, the so-called honor needs to have a certain achievement and status, have a good reputation, and be respected. ”

"Mr. Gongze said it well. Honorable people must not only have a good reputation, but also be respected. Yuan Xi said: "I am going to select a group of soldiers with rich combat experience, who have made many meritorious contributions, who live in Hebei, and who are loyal to me, to form guards and vanguard battalions. Led by Wen Chou and Zhang Jaw. Their strength is twice as high as that of the other troops. Their family is a family of honor. Their parents, wives and children will be respected and protected by the magistrates.... ”

"Do you have any objections?"

"The Lord's decision is excellent." Guo Tudao.

"Orders of the Ministers..." Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others also had no objections.

Yan Liang asked, "Lord Yu, what weapons should the 200,000 regular army be equipped with?" ”

"Didn't I just say, with the best weapons. Including war horses, heavy armor, chariots, strong crossbows, and so on. I have made a detailed preparation plan and will give it to you later. Yuan Xi said.

"No."

Yan conscience was overjoyed.

As the senior commander of the regular army, his status is transcendent, and the troops under his command are well-equipped, and if he fights with Cao Cao in the future, he will no longer be entangled by Zhang Xiu like last time.

Announcing the plan to complete the reform, Yuan Xi put down the book and said, "Let's talk about the border." Since the defeat of Tuoba Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei last year, the people of Daijun have been able to recuperate. However, if people have no long-term concerns, they will have near-term worries. Whether Xianbei will invade or not, no one can say. So, we have to have a long-term plan. Thorough stabilization of the rear. ”

Tian Feng came out and said: "My lord, Xianbei's great enemy is the Huns, and he will not easily invade the territory. The last time he attacked Daijun, he was provoked by Yuan Shang, but he was defeated by the lord, how dare he repeat the mistakes of the past? The minister thought that as long as there were 30,000 to 50,000 Youzhou troops guarding the border, it would definitely be a big problem. However, the 9 counties in Hedong have just been occupied by Zhang Yan, which borders our Hanoi County, so they have to defend it. ”
