The winter in northern Cyprus was long and cold, and Wei Shuo led his army to wind its way through the ice and snow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

More than 10,000 soldiers lined up in a long serpentine shape for several miles, the sun and moon battle flags fluttered in the wind, and hunting in the cold wind.

The clear sky, the bright sun, the white clouds, the black and white mountains and forests, the silver rivers, everything seems so peaceful and comfortable in winter.

Wei Shuo rode slowly on his horse with a serene expression, followed by the guard battalion, the heavy cavalry battalion, and the Modao team in turn, and the whole army had the same goal, and rushed to Guzang, the seat of the state administration in Liangzhou.

Since the dispatch of troops to attack Shuofang last month, the war has been going very smoothly, achieving the pre-war goal and achieving great gains.

However, Shuofang is full of Hulu, and there is almost no sense of belonging to Hexi, and various places are still unstable.

In addition, Shuofang is the place of four wars, there is the Hou Qin in the south, and the Northern Wei is unwilling to defeat in the east, and the situation may still be repeated if you are not careful.

Finally, it is now a cold wind, and Shuofang is waiting to be fed, and food and other materials are urgently needed to survive the winter.

Fortunately, Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan, Yang Han and others who sat in the rear raised a large amount of materials, plus the booty obtained after the war, so that the survival of hundreds of thousands of herdsmen of various tribes in Shuozhou could be guaranteed.

In order to prevent the tribal leaders from plotting against him, Wei Shuo forcibly relocated one hundred and ten leaders to Hexi.

He believes that as long as he survives this winter, Shuofang will be better every day in the future.

In 390 A.D., at the end of the month, the army of the class arrived at the suburbs of Guzang, and the outline of the city was clearly visible from a distance.

"Lord, Gu Zang has arrived."

"Well, I finally came back in time for the New Year, and now I can spend the New Year at home again."

When he thought of the Chinese New Year, Wei Shuo couldn't help but think of his pregnant wife again, and he didn't know if he had given birth? Is it a boy? Or a girl?

The expedition lasted a month and a half, and it was very hard, and now that they have returned to Guzang again, everyone feels very good.

"The ministers welcome the triumphant return of the capital." Outside the city gate, all the civil and military forces led by Yang Han and Du Jin congratulated in unison.

Wei Shuo didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and greeted him.

He picked up Yang Han and Du Jin, and sighed: "It's cold, how dare you bother the boss and Master Du to greet each other?" ”

Yang Han and Du Jin said with excitement on their faces: "The lord is running in the north of Hetao for state affairs, and he is not afraid of wind and snow. Today, the lord has returned triumphantly, and I am waiting to come out to greet him but suffer from a moment of freezing, what is the way? ”

"Indeed, as the two adults said, Zhan Gong wishes the lord a great victory in Shuofang, laying the foundation for future domination of the world."

"Yes, yes, congratulations to the lord on his victory."

At this time, Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan, Zong Chang, Jiang Fei, Kan Qiu, Shi Wei and other civil and military officers also stepped forward to congratulate Wei Shuo, they have been staying in the rear, although they did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but they ensured the logistics supply of the army.

When Shuofang's victory came, the entire Hexi was boiling, and everyone was more and more confident in the future.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Zhiyuan to win the battle, it's really gratifying, and it just so happens that the old man has good news for you."

"Oh? What's the good news? ”

"Hahaha, congratulations to Zhiyuan, when the great victory of Shuofang came a month ago, it coincided with Yuan'er giving birth to a child for you."

"What?! It's true!? Wei Shuo's head was clouded when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it was true.

"Of course it's true, don't you believe you asked General Du?!" Yang Han stretched out his hand and pointed at Du Jindao.

At this time, Du Jin, Song Miao and others stepped forward to congratulate him, and Wei Shuo believed that he really had offspring.

"Now that the Eastern Crusade has won a great victory, and the eldest son has been born smoothly, it can be described as a double happiness, and it should be celebrated."

As soon as Wei Shuo's words came out, he immediately attracted praise from everyone.

……

After separating from everyone at the city gate, Wei Shuo galloped all the way and hurried back to Weifu.

At this moment, everyone in the Wei Mansion had already received the news in advance, and the Wei Steward was leading a group of people to open the middle door to welcome him back.

But Wei Shuo didn't bother to greet everyone at all, threw the reins to his subordinates, and ran to the back house with a smoke.

Before he walked to the room, he heard laughter coming from afar, and when he heard it carefully, it was Yin E, Meng Yao, and Guo Yuan's three wives and concubines.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth, stepped forward and gently pushed open the door, and walked in.

Guo Yuan is still so glamorous, charming and lovely, but after giving birth to a child, she is less youthful and more mature woman-like.

Now Guo Yuan is lying on the couch, holding a baby in her arms, wrapped tightly up and down, and laughing with Yin E and Meng Yao around the child.

At this time, Wei Shuo ignored the others, and only rushed forward with one lunge, his eyes staring at the baby tightly, and his voice trembled a little.

"This is my child?"

"Huh? Husband-kun is back?! ”

Only then did Guo Yuan and the three of them realize that there was another person in the house, and Yin E and Meng Yao hurriedly got up to help Wei Shuo tidy up his clothes.

Eagerly pulling out the thick quilt, Wei Shuo saw a sleeping little face, his nose was gently fanning, his round face was like a ripe apple, his small mouth was slightly open, a pair of eyes were closed tightly, and his slender eyelashes were flickering gently.

"Hahaha, I have a baby."

Looking at the emotional Wei Shuo, Guo Yuan was full of pride, now her position in the Wei Mansion was completely consolidated, only Yin E and Meng Yao felt a little lost.

Especially Yin E, she is not too young, and she hopes to give birth to a boy and a half girl for Wei Shuo as soon as possible.

After the mood stabilized, Wei Shuo turned around, just in time to see the residual loss at the corner of Yin E's mouth, he was about to comfort a few words, but suddenly thought that it was not the time to speak, so he could only press it for the time being.

"Husband, will you name the child?"

"The birth of this son coincided with the great victory of Shuofang, laying the foundation for the future domination of the world, it is better to call it the foundation, take the meaning of the foundation!"

"Guardian ...... Well, it's quite smooth, and the implication is not bad. ”

I don't know if everyone has neglected him for too long, Xiao Weiji immediately quit, let go of his throat and cried.

Looking at the little guy's pink appearance, Wei Shuo was eager to pick him up and coax him, but who knew that Wei Dadu, who was powerful in the world, was at a loss by his own son.

In the end, Guo Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, took Wei Ji from him, and only coaxed it casually, and the little guy quieted down.

Wei Shuo couldn't help but reach out and tease the little guy's face a few times, making the little guy giggle.

After Wei Ji fell asleep, Wei Shuo left with Yin E and Meng Yao.

As soon as he got out of the room, he took the opportunity to hold the two daughters in his arms and comforted them in their ears: "Don't worry, the husband will not leave Guzang for the time being, and he will have the opportunity to enjoy the joy of fish and water with the two ladies." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two women blushed with shame, and they lightly slapped Wei Shuo's chest respectively.

Seeing the shyness of the two women, Wei Shuo kissed them on the cheeks respectively, and then laughed and left.

……

That night, in order to celebrate Shuo Fang's victory and the birth of his eldest son, Wei Shuo held a banquet in Weifu to invite all the civil and military forces in Hexi.

Everyone sat in two columns, gathered together, drinking wine and chatting at the same time.

Wei Shuo raised his glass and saluted everyone: "Today's banquet is not only to celebrate Shuofang's victory, but also to congratulate Shuo's son-in-law on his birth. ”

"This victory is not only the credit of the front-line soldiers, but also the merit of everyone here. Without waiting to raise food and grass, how could the front-line soldiers have the strength to compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty? ”

"Similarly, if it weren't for Du Shi and General Jiang guarding Hexi, how would Shuo dare to go out to Shuofang without distractions?"

"Come, a glass of wine, to everyone."

"My lord, please." Everyone in the audience raised their glasses.

At first, everyone was a little restrained, but after a few glasses of hot wine, everyone gradually let go of their restraints.

Some acquaintances, three or three of them gathered at each other's heads and ears, and said something considerate.

Everyone talked for a while, and then talked about Shuofang's future plans.

"Regarding Shuofang, I plan to set up a county to rule."

"It's naturally good to set up counties, but the local people are all Hulu, isn't the lord afraid of stirring up turmoil?"

"I don't know about the physical industry, after this turmoil, the strength of the Hu tribe in Shuofang has been greatly reduced, and there is no threat for the time being."

"Even if someone rebels, there are still Changxu and Xuan Sheng, and the amount can't set off any waves."

"The opportunity is rare now, and if you don't seize it, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future."

Song Miao understood that Wei Shuo's words were alluding to Liu Bobo, and as Wei Shuo said, now is indeed the best time to control Shuo Fang.

After the entire Tiefu Department was repeatedly killed by the Northern Wei Dynasty and Hexi, there was not much core strength left, and the only one who was expected to take over, Liu Bobo, was too young, which was just conducive to Hexi's rectification of Shuofang.

In a few years, even if Liu Bobo grows up, he will not want to return to the original tribal rule.

"Tiye, you pick some capable officials to go to Shuofang as soon as possible to help Bo Yuan deal with government affairs."

"No! Subordinates understand. ”

"In addition, although the battle of Shuofang was a big victory, the Hexi army also suffered heavy losses."

"Considering that there will be no more major wars for the time being, Shuo plans to let all the wounded and those over the age of forty in the Xiang army retire, and then select suitable ones from the government soldiers to replenish them."

"At the same time, considering that the territory has expanded and there are more enemies to face, Shuo plans to expand the box army to 48,000 people, including eight on horseback."

"With the addition of Shuofang, the population of Hexi now exceeds two million, which is enough to support the expansion of professional soldiers to nearly 50,000."
