In the evening, night fell, and in Yuan Xi's study, the slightly dim lights illuminated everywhere, and Yuan Xi and Jiao Touch sat together.

I saw that Yuan Xi's face was a little difficult to see: "That is to say, my Iron Guard Battalion currently has less than 1,000 soldiers, while the eldest brother's Xuanjia Army and the third brother's Tiger Roar Battalion do have no less than 3,000 people."

"Yes, and in addition to the strong support of the treasury behind them, there is also the help of the Yecheng Dashi clan, and they are quite well-equipped, if we fight them with our current strength, the chance of victory is very slim" Jiao Feng said with a serious face.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and after taking a closer look at Jiao Touch's data, he was surprised to find that Jiao Touch's intelligence value had directly increased from 45 to 50, it seems that these generals also need to be trained, there are indeed natural good generals in the world, but more still depends on years of experience and experience accumulation.

"Zhongsheng, when did I say that I want to be the enemy of the eldest brother and the third brother," Yuan Xi asked softly.

Jiao Touch's face suddenly froze, and he suddenly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, kowtowing sincerely and said: "Second son, you value love and righteousness, and your martial arts are superb, the last general admires you from the bottom of his heart, and I hope to always follow the second son, but if the second son does not have expectations for the big position, then ask the second son to let me go, if the second son you have, then Jiao Touch is willing to follow forever until death."

Yuan Xi's pupils shrank, and found that the loyalty value that had been as high as 85 began to flicker, emitting a red light, and it seemed that great changes would occur at any time.

Yuan Xi's heart was a little touched, and he praised softly: "Okay, what a loyal promotion, it's a blessing to have a courtier like you."

Jiao Yan suddenly raised his head, and shouted with emotion on his face: "Lord! ”

As soon as these two words came out, Jiao Touch's loyalty value instantly rushed to 90, and even his intelligence climbed to 60, officially having the qualifications of a good general.

"Hurry up, hurry up" Yuan Xi waved his hand mildly.

After the two expressed their intentions, the relationship became much closer, and the loyalty value of 90 also allowed Yuan Xi to talk to Jiao Touch with peace of mind.

"Zhongsheng, you also know that my father doesn't pay attention to me at all, he only has the eldest brother and the third brother in his heart, if we want to develop, we must rush out, it doesn't matter where it is, only our lords and ministers work together, and we will definitely create a big career"

Jiao Fu nodded approvingly, "What Childe said is right, as long as Gongzi performs a little well in Yecheng, he will definitely be locked by the other two sons and will not be able to develop?" ”

"Yes! But there is an opportunity, I have already received the news that after my father unifies the four continents, he will send out our heirs one by one to protect the territory for him, and as my sister-in-law, I will definitely go out, so the most important thing now is to keep Taoguang and obscure, so that the eldest brother and third brother will not feel threatened, and let me go with peace of mind" Yuan Xi said solemnly.

"Don't worry, the last general will definitely take care of the Iron Guard Battalion" Hearing this, Jiao Feng hurriedly promised.

"Not only to manage them well, but also to actively train them, there are not many of them, we will adopt an elite strategy, and strive to train them all into elite soldiers, this is the only force we have at present, we must grasp it well, especially those army commanders, even chiefs, military marquis, etc. below you must be firmly grasped in their hands, and those who have two intentions will be driven out" Yuan Xi instructed.

"Understand, after the last general returns, make a new arrangement immediately"

"Okay, in a few days, I will go to the barracks to work and comfort them, although our Iron Guard Battalion does not have the resources of the Xuanjia Army and the Tiger Roar Battalion for the time being, I, the Xuanwei Zhonglang General, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, am still willing to give them the best treatment" Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"Thank you, childe," Jiao Touch hurriedly thanked him.

Yuan Xi nodded, looked up, and found that it was already pitch black outside, and said softly: "It's not early, you go back early, remember, Taoguang is obscure, wait for the opportunity"

"Yes!" After Jiao Fu answered loudly, when he got up and walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Childe, I plan to apologize to Lord Fu tomorrow."

Yuan Xi suddenly laughed, and said with a face full of relief: "Okay, very good"

Soon after Jiao Touch's departure, Zhen Mi personally walked in with a bowl of sweet soup and said with concern: "Husband, you have to pay attention to rest"

"It's okay, my body is as strong as a cow now, and I can't be tired at all," Yuan Xi said proudly.

"How can there be such a metaphor," Zhen Mi couldn't help but glance blankly.

After Yuan Xi picked up the sweet soup, he asked, "How is the situation when I go to the General's Mansion today?" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Mi immediately lowered her head, and said with a sad expression: "Mother likes Jade Guanyin very much, and she is also very concerned about her husband's illness, so she will let you rest more, but outside the words, she still wants her husband to help her third brother more, and she has never thought about your situation at all, they are all her sons, why should you be treated so differently"

"Really?" Yuan Xi smiled indifferently, looked at Zhen Mi's expression, and comforted softly: "Mi'er, don't be sad, we don't rely on anyone, we rely on ourselves."

Zhen Mi suddenly raised her head, and said with a serious look on her beautiful face: "Husband, do you want to compete with the eldest brother and the third brother for the position of the prince?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mi'er, you don't have to worry about this, you can live with peace of mind."

"No, as my husband's wife, how can I not know my husband's ambitions" Zhen Mi's eyes were very firm.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Yuan Xi said softly: "If someone wants to use power to force me to hand over Mi'er, then I will want the highest position, just a son, I don't disdain"

Zhen Mi was suddenly shocked, tears appeared in her eyes, and she was extremely moved and threw herself directly into Yuan Xi's arms, and said emotionally: "Husband, Mi'er will never leave you"

After Yuan Xi took a look, he was shocked to find that Zhen Mi's loyalty to himself had reached 99, and he was only one step away from being full of grids, and this level had reached the point where he was willing to lose his life and ensure his loyalty to Yuan Xi.

"Good Mi'er, my husband won't let you down," Yuan Xi promised in a firm tone.

Zhen Mi nodded, and after quietly wiping away her tears, she raised her head and said: "Since the husband has such ambitions, Mi'er will definitely help with all his might, and I may not be able to help the rest, but Mi'er will definitely find a way to bring the entire Zhen family under the command of the husband."

"Zhen family" Yuan Xi was surprised.

"Yes, although our Zhen family is not a scholar family, there are few officials, but the assets are rich, the wealth is rivaled by the country, my father has written to the uncle many times, asking him to fund the disaster relief, with the help of the Zhen family, it will be much easier for the husband to form an army in the future" Zhen Mi said softly.

"That's what I said, but will the Zhen family listen to you?" Yuan Xi asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Zhen Mi's face suddenly showed a trace of pride, "Husband, you don't know, since I was calculated by that Taoist to have the life of the queen, which is unspeakably expensive, my status in the Zhen family is still very high, and my uncle loves me very much, and he usually listens to what I say."

Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly flashed, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan have the support of the scholars, it seems that he also needs to find a strong foreign aid, ancient times are different from modern times, the real resources and talents are in the hands of these scholars, rich businessmen, even Cao Cao is such a heroic figure, but also needs to be based on the scholars, assisted by the cold family, it is conceivable how huge their strength is, only with their full support, can they really run rampant in the world, as for the disadvantages they bring, it is not what Yuan Xi needs to consider now.
