Chapter Eighty-Nine: Joy Gives Birth to Sorrow

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the three hundred pro-soldiers returned to the camp one after another before the end of the holiday, and Yang Ji, who was eager to try, followed Yuwen Wen and Fifth Brother Chen to recruit new soldiers around Anlu.

The original number of soldiers of 300 was now to be expanded to 2,500, so 2,200 new soldiers had to be recruited, and the Anju Governor's Office would bear the cost of food and salary for these people.

Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, once wanted to transfer people directly from his army to his second son or let him choose, but Yu Wenwen decided to select his own troops and practice by himself, and he took Chen Wudi and Yang Ji to recruit troops from the surrounding states under the officials sent by the governor's office to assist.

As Yang Ji, a person at the end of the Ming Dynasty, knew, Yuwen Wen used the selection requirements similar to Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, to measure whether the soldiers in front of him were qualified: people who are slippery in the market don't want it, veteran soldiers don't want oil, don't want thin skin and tender flesh, and don't want to use those who have done things in the government.

It is to be stupid and bold, strong, honest and afraid of the government, and the countrymen are of course good to have miners.

Yu Wenwen's 'evil deeds' of inspiring hidden tasks around the world finally paid off: when he went to Yuezhou to recruit troops, Xu Shao, the son of the assassin history, came to Yuwen Wen and said that he wanted to help, and he had lost the bet before, but fortunately, the Duke of Xiyang County was magnanimous and was able to avoid the bad luck of stripping naked and running around Anlu three times.

"My father has always done evil and didn't do anything, Xu Langjun is not afraid of being poked and scolded in the back when he comes to help?" Yu Wenwen glanced at the other party after speaking.

Xu Shao has been familiar with the subset of scriptures and history since he was a child, and he is a little unaccustomed to Yuwenwen's style of speaking, and the kind words in his original belly were choked like this, and he couldn't use them at all, so he could only smile bitterly and say that he was willing to serve the dogs and horses.

Yu Wenwen thought to himself, I'm afraid that it's your officialdom's old fritter father, seeing that as the son of the chief manager, I want to do a lot, so let you come over and take a hitchhike!

He didn't say anything, anyway, he had 'bad intentions' towards Xu Langjun, seeing that the other party had thrown himself into the net, he didn't even say a kind word, and directly asked him to recruit troops near Yuezhou, except for the pretty Empress Dowager Yang Lihua and the inexplicable Yang Ji (Qiang Lian), Xu Shao was the first historical figure that Yu Wenwen successfully recruited in this era to leave a name in the history books.

Li Jing, the military god of the early Tang Dynasty, was suspicious of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, at first, and once led his troops to pass through Kipzhou, which coincided with the rebellion of the Yiren and delayed the trip.

Xu Shao knew that there was a reason for the incident and cherished Xiao Li's talent, pleaded with Li Yuan for him several times, and finally saved the life of Li Jing, one of the double dragons of the Tang Dynasty, and later Xu Shao died of illness on the way to lead the rebellion, and Li Yuan cried a lot when he learned about it.

Xu Shao's family has served as the assassin of Yuezhou (formerly known as Chuzhou) since his grandfather Xu Hong, and with his help, the recruitment work has been much smoother.

Xu Shao has many classmates studying in Anlu Township, not to mention the future Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, there are many young people from local wealthy families, and this kind of relationship network Yu Wenwen decided to develop slowly.

In the surrounding counties of Anlu and not far away Yuezhou, Huanzhou, Chuzhou, and Wenzhou, because the military salary was higher than that of other generals, there were more young people who came to enlist than expected, but the threshold of Yuwenwen's conscription was a little strange, so it was barely enough to gather 2,200 people in the back.

Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji drafted the training outline at the end of last year, and asked Chen Wudi and the other five fools to boldly put forward opinions and revise the final draft several times according to the specific situation, and he asked the enthusiastic Yang Ji and Chen Wudi and others to discuss the specific details.

Chen Wudi, Liang Dingxing, Chen Qijin, Tian Zhengyue, and Hao Daring were the five foolish and bold people who "did not enter the tiger's den and got the tiger" in Beijiang Prefecture under the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion with Yu Wenwen in May last year, and they were also capable generals when they trained the 300 pro-army.

Yang Ji and Xu Shao, together with the outstanding soldiers in the pro-army and these five people, became the officer corps of Yuwenwen's newly built 'Caotai Team'......

The Huangzhou Governor's Office governs Ba Zhou, and the state governs the eastern suburbs of Xiyang City.

Yu Wenwen stood on the shore and looked at the so-called Bazhou Navy in the wind: the wooden houses called barracks on the shore were in tatters and felt that they had just been forcibly demolished, and the dozen or so small broken boats in the water were said to be warships.

The states under the jurisdiction of Bazhou and Huangzhou were still the boundaries of Qi four years ago, and later Qi was annexed by the Great Zhou, and the states of Jiangbei were captured by Chen on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

More than a year ago, Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty, led the army all the way eastward and swept the boundaries of Huangzhou, bringing the states in Jiangbei into the scope of Zhou's rule.

In just four years, Bazhou has experienced three wars, and the Bazhou Navy has also been tossed to the point that there are only a few broken boats left, Yuwenwen shook his head and led the entourage to Xiyang City, and kept complaining in his heart:

This is a fishing boat, this is a fisherman, this is not a sailor! Why can you rely on these things to cross the river and attack Wuchang County on the south bank of the opposite side to grab iron mines?

If you put a few more earth-shattering thunders on the small broken ship, I'm afraid it will sink!

This time, he and the Anzhou Governor's Office, together with the officials sent by the Huangzhou Governor's Office, went to Xiyang County, Bazhou for on-the-spot investigation.

The appearance of the city in this era does not meet the sanitary requirements of Yuwenwen, open defecation is commonplace, and pig dung, cow dung, horse dung are everywhere, flies and mosquitoes fly everywhere, the ground is bare and the drainage is not good, and the rain is muddy and sewage flows sideways.

An Lu is quite good, but there are no other states and counties, but there is no worst, only worse, now this Xiyang City is not much better, others are used to this, but Yu Wenwen is shocked in his eyes.

It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and the messy drainage in the city is almost the same, and the large households are located on higher ground, but the civilian gathering area is much worse, in case of waterlogging, what plague spreads, it is really the whole city is dead.

Change, change it all for me! This is Yuwen Wenwen's determination after pinching his nose and turning around in Xiyang City.

According to the introduction of officials, the number of households in Xiyang City is about 6,000, according to the average of six people in a household, it is about 36,000 people, this Xiyang City is messy and smelly, and I don't know when the plague will break out, could it be that you let me be the commander of the undead and lead a group of undead army to bring disaster to the world?

How dare you let a family come to live in such sanitary conditions, my wife is a peerless beauty, let them live in this kind of place? ……

In the morning, Yang Lihua, who was sleeping on the recliner, opened her eyes, and Yu Wenwen on the side hurriedly picked her up.

Her abdomen bulge is becoming more and more obvious, and her movement is gradually becoming inconvenient, Yu Wenwen has to come to talk to her every day when she is free during the day, and from time to time she leans her ear on her stomach and tries to listen to the movements of the fetus.

Pregnant, Yang Lihua became more and more lazy, and at this time, she was taking a nap in the back garden in the company of Yuwenwen, not far away, Yuwen'e Ying and Yu Chi Mingyue were competing on the swing.

Although there was no high sitting, bedding in this era, Yu Wenwen still asked the carpenter to make a wooden reclining chair for Yang Lihua, who was inconvenient to kneel and sit, to use, Yang Lihua, who was more than four months pregnant, quickly got used to the gift from this husband.

But she prefers to snuggle in her husband's arms and enjoy the warm feeling, looking at her daughter who smiles every day leaning on her husband's warm chest, she feels that this is the happiest life.

In the cold palace, alone in the empty pillow, silently crying, lonely and old, but in this life, Yang Lihua once thought that this was a portrayal of the rest of her life, until that day and Yu Wenwen, who is now a husband, had a relationship, and everything changed.

Yu Chi Chifan sat on the side uneasily, and just now she learned that her husband and concubine were in the back garden, so she also sat next to her husband and pretended to look at the account book on the grounds that she was watching Yu Chi Mingyue and not letting her mess around.

Yu Wenwen knew that Mrs. was jealous but didn't mind, he couldn't ask for it when he was accompanied by a beauty, and even brazenly took care of Yang Lihua while holding hands with Yu Chi Chifan, at first Yang Lihua was a little embarrassed, but seeing that her husband's expression naturally did not seem to be fake, he was also cheeky and coquettish.

Pretending for a while, Wei Chi Chifan also felt that her little caution was boring, but she still didn't leave, and now she didn't mind her husband hugging her concubine, but she was entangled, because she felt unwell recently, and she had vague expectations in her heart, but she was not sure.

Her menstrual period had been delayed for almost a month, the last time was in early December, and now it is the end of January, and it has been almost two months.

Yu Wenwen noticed this abnormality of his wife, and then helped Yang Lihua to sit on the recliner and lie down, and then came over to ask if there was anything uncomfortable.

He asked the housekeeper Li Sanjiu to send someone to invite the doctor to come over to check the pulse of his wife, and stood on the side, scratching his ears and cheeks, watching the doctor check his wife's pulse, and finally heard the good news for a while: "Madam is happy." ”

"Congratulations to the county prince." The doctor bowed, and as soon as the words fell, a grain of silver of nearly one tael slapped into his hand, seeing the little two hugging each other and cheering, he touched the uncommon silver, smiled and nodded, and left.

'I really hope that the concubine of Xiyang County will have money by then. The doctor thought.

Yuwen Wen hugged his wife with a smile, looked at her with a smile on his face, gently rubbed his stomach, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: God, if you can't conceive any longer, your waist will break.

"Jiro, thank you." She leaned her head on Yuwenwen's arms and whispered, the little couple has been tossing day and night since Yuwenwen returned to Anlu in mid-December, and now there is finally a result.

"It's for the husband to thank you, and to add another piece to the Yuwen family."

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman." Yu Chi Chi muttered happily, she thought about it for a long time, she was looking forward to being pregnant with flesh and blood for her husband, so she almost did anything, and she tossed every night to death, and now she finally got her wish.

"Sanniang has a good rest, and the family affairs will be handed over to Xiao Jiu." Yu Wenwen thought for a while and added, "You must eat more to replenish your body." ”

"Hmm."

As the so-called happiness is sad, there is another way to cross the river and tear down the bridge, just a few days after being happy, after Yang Lihua in the side room, Yu Wenwen was ruthlessly thrown into the garbage heap by his wife Yu Chi Chifan as a used rag.

Because the two ladies are pregnant, Yuwenwen has become a professional '**', accompanying Yang Lihua during the lunch break and accompanying Wei Chi Chifan at night, but both of them are 'disgusted' with their husbands, and they are not honest when they accompany them, not only do they kiss and hug each other, but even the root of the curse is 'ready to move'.

According to the words of the two of them, it is to protect the child in the womb and not sleep with her husband.

Yu Wenwen, who was about to start his life as a single person for more than half a year, was full of grief and indignation, and had nowhere to complain, so he burned his anger to the new barracks that was about to start training:

"Tremble, fed worms, I'm going to train you to the point that life is worse than death!"
