The border city, further north is the prairie, boundless.

In such a border city, the complete sunset can be seen.

The setting sun, a little reddened, dyed the surrounding clouds red. The sky was full of flowers, as if a huge red flower had bloomed.

Yan Ming walked all the way and inquired all the way. Where there are pits, where there are wells, where there is water, all under his understanding. In one afternoon, he walked almost all over the clouds.

In the originally quiet street, two women suddenly appeared.

When these two women saw Yan Ming and Cheng Xin, they immediately hurried around.

"Hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if it's late." A woman whispered.

The other one was even more hurried.

Yan Ming didn't care, such a border city woman looked very ordinary.

In such a simple border city as the Han Dynasty, there is one benefit, and there is no need to worry about spies. The Han people suffered greatly from the Xiongnu. Years of war made the Han people hate the Huns.

In war, they will surrender. But there are very few who act as traitors.

Yan Ming didn't care about the two women, and continued to walk with Chengxin while appreciating the architectural style of the border city.

But soon, I saw three women and hurriedly walked out.

"I heard it was on the threshing floor."

"Let's go and see, it's too late."

"Well, it must be successful."

The three women were different from the two women before, they simply ignored the existence of Yan Ming and Cheng Xin, and walked in the direction of the threshing floor as they spoke.

Yan Ming was a little strange. It stands to reason that it will be late, and both men and women should strictly observe the night and stay at home. What's going on?

He and Chengxin were walking, and they saw a few more women, and then found that there were also women walking out from other directions. The direction is a threshing floor.

Glancing at Chengxin, Yan Ming smiled: "Do you know what the situation is?" ”

Chengxin shook his head and said, "Why don't I go and inquire." ”

"No, maybe it's just the customs of the border city." Yan Ming put his hands behind his back and continued to walk forward.

This place is not far from the county guard of Cloudsdale. Yan Ming lives in the county guard's mansion.

Turning a street, Yan Ming even turned most of Cloudsdale City around. The layout of the entire city had a rough idea in his mind.

Cheng Xin didn't understand why Hou Ye had to come over street by street. Even the seemingly inconspicuous little streets, he had to walk.

Yan Ming didn't have a chance to explain to him that building a city requires rigorous design. The road is set, the house is built, and it is very laborious to try to modify it.

If you want to build a perfect cloud in the clouds, you must do a good job of a century-old plan. You can't finish building today and demolish it tomorrow. Such a toss, to use a fashionable word, GDP is up, but Mao is not. Except for the cost of the people and the cultivation of corrupt officials, there is no benefit at all.

This is also why Yanming built Maoling-eup into a grand and spacious area. The planning of a city cannot be said to be hundreds of years, but the planning of decades is always necessary, right?

Thinking in his heart, he walked out of the alley and saw the county guard of Yunzhong County.

Why are there so many people in the county guard today?

There were a lot of Cloudsdale residents gathered at the door. There were even old soldiers to maintain order, and some of the old defenders stood outside, apparently standing with the group of residents.

"What's the situation?" Yan Ming asked.

Chengxin shook his head and said, "Who knows! ”

Yan Ming stretched out his hand and chiseled on Chengxin's head, and the two of them walked over with a smile.

Lou Xiaowu, who was surrounded in the center, is now the captain of the guard in charge of guarding the county guard. Seeing Yan Ming's figure, he squeezed out of the crowd and panted: "Master Hou, take a look, this is all a matter of your wife's toss!" ”

Yan Ming was slightly stunned, and when he saw that the man with all the colors found out, he immediately gathered around, and they all rushed to speak, he knew that Yan Ran must have done something great, or caused something great.

"Master Hou, let's go to the threshing floor and have a look!" A young man said.

"Master Hou, your wife is really powerful, please persuade her!" Another frontier said.

"Master Hou, what Mrs. Zun has done is really a shame for us to be veterans. If the Hou Ye is afraid that he can't defend the city, it is better to let our old army go to the city wall! There is no need, and there is no need for women to defend the city! Fan Li, as the leader of the old defenders, shook his head and said.

Yan Ming was a little confused.

Lou Xiaowu waved his hand to silence everyone, and then explained to Yan Ming. It turned out that Yan Ming didn't know how to get the order to recruit soldiers from Wei Qing, and actually set up a shed in the threshing floor to recruit female soldiers.

"Holy!" Yan Ming scolded softly.

This wife of mine is really not covered. You can do it in the palace. Now he has run out and done it!

Recruiting female soldiers, I really don't know how Yanran came up with it. Although Yan Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with recruiting female soldiers, it was really difficult for the people of the Han Dynasty to accept it.

"Let's go, let's see." Yan Ming did not say anything, but walked to the threshing floor.

He now knew why the women were hurrying to the threshing floor. It turned out that they were all going to be female soldiers.

Otaniba, near the south gate of Cloudsdale City.

The south gate is still well preserved, although it is also an earthen city gate, and it does look extremely sturdy.

The shed where Yanran recruited female soldiers was set up on the edge of the threshing floor, and at this time, hundreds of women were already standing in front of the shed, and soldiers wearing Han military uniforms were organizing this group of women to line up.

Seeing a large group of men coming to Hulala, all the women gathered together. And the group of Han troops who maintained order only had about fifty people, and they came directly to the periphery and separated the women from the men.

When the soldiers at the head saw that it was Yan Ming who was in the lead, they were stunned, and they clenched their fists and said, "Master Hou stays." ”

Yan Ming was slightly stunned, listening to this person's voice, it turned out to be a woman.

Take a closer look, it was one of the women who was rescued in Shuofang that day, and now she is wearing the uniform of the Han army. It also looks heroic.

Looking at the fifty or so Han soldiers, they were all women of the day. It's just that they all put their hair up and put on military uniforms, and they are very beautiful for a while.

Among the men who followed, some decided to ignore their mother-in-law the moment they saw these fifty or so female soldiers. This dress looks pretty good on the body.

Of course, more people still can't accept their women and children to serve as female soldiers. They all looked at Yan Ming.

Before Yan Ming could speak, Princess Yanran had already come out over there.

"Master Hou, you're here!" Yan Ran deliberately delicate, which made Yan Ming feel a chill.

"This female soldier?" Yan Ming just spoke, but he didn't finish speaking.

Yan Ran interrupted Yan Ming and said with a smile: "This female soldier was recruited here by the military order of General Xiaocai. If Master Hou has any questions, he can go to General Xiaocai, I am a subordinate and act on orders. ”

Yan Ming turned his back to everyone and winked at Yanran. also secretly gave a thumbs up. He tried his best to learn some military skills from the women of the border city.

Otherwise, when the Hu people come, they can only be reduced to cattle and sheep-like items, and they can be driven away.

"Oh, it's a military affair!" After Yan Ming finished speaking, he turned around and spread his hands, which means that I have no tricks.

Fan Lixian couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Madam Princess, are you looking down on us who defend the city by doing this?" ”

He couldn't call Yan Ran, knowing that she was a princess and Yan Ming's wife, so he had to call her Mrs. Princess.

Yan Ran smiled indifferently and said, "What does it have to do with me recruiting my female soldiers and not looking down on you?" ”

"Recruiting female soldiers is not good than directly scolding us for defending the city, all, all, all...... In short, you just look down on us. Fan Lidu was for a long time, but he couldn't speak.

Yan Ran sneered and said, "What? Women can't be soldiers? If so, don't you look down on us women too? ”

Fan Li was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer. If it were an ordinary woman, he could have said that I just looked down on you. But this is Princess Yanran of the Han Dynasty, he can't say that.

"The ancient sages never said that there were women as soldiers. This is not in accordance with the ancient conventions and rules! An old Confucian student who was the only one in the Border City Academy shook his head and said.

This guy took out the ancient sages to talk about things, which is a good way.

The most interesting management of the ancients was antiquity. As long as there were in ancient times, they can be emulated. Otherwise, you can be labeled as deviant.

Such a sentence stopped Yan Ran.

All the men let out a long breath. What is not in line with the ancient sages will inevitably not work.

Seeing that Yan Ran was a little speechless, Yan Ming coughed and said: "That, old man, as far as I know, there was a saltless lady in Qi in ancient times, this, that, it seems to be ......"

Before his words fell, Yan Ran had already thought about the saltless lady, and raised her eyebrows and said back.

In this way, everyone's eyes fell on Yan Ming.

At this time, Yan Ming is like a traitor among men, a flock of chickens!

The old Confucian was speechless by him, and everyone was silent.

There were still people who wanted to speak, but Yan Ran took the first step and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, uncles, uncles, brothers and brothers, have you thought about it?" When the Huns attacked, you fought bloody battles at the head of the city. And we can only hide behind and watch your life and death feelings? Have you ever thought that we didn't even have a chance to resist, and we were captured by the Huns? We are not recruiting women to share the task of defending the city with you. I promise that as long as the walls are not broken, there is absolutely no need for us to go to war. But if the walls are broken, we don't want to leave you alone. ”

"Yes, I was captured by the Huns in Shuofang. If it weren't for Yan Hou and General Xiaocai, I'm afraid we would have been thrown into the wilderness after being plagued by the Huns. At the moment when the city was broken, we didn't even have the strength to kill ourselves. I don't want to live like this! A Shuofang woman in a military uniform shouted.
