Liu Xin was about to tell Wu Shu's sister Sun Ce the good news that she had been selected as the Flying Tiger Guard, when she felt a warm feeling on her arm, he was experienced, and immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but secretly scream "Not good", Sun Ren, this little girl, urinated on herself, and said repeatedly: "Quick, get diapers." ”

Wu Xian had already seen that Liu Xin's arms and chest were wet, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the embarrassment just now had long since disappeared, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, I soiled my clothes, so I'll come." ”

Liu Xin said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay, what's this, leave it to me, don't wake up the child." ”

Seeing Liu Xin holding Sun Ren with one hand and skillfully helping her change her diapers with the other, she is simply a competent "wet nurse", Wu Shu sisters looked at each other, you know, it was an era when machismo was prevalent, not to mention letting men change diapers, even holding a child Many men would not agree, as for a noble person like Liu Xin, he dared not even think about it,

Liu Xin didn't know what they were thinking, and while he was busy, he said: "I'll tell you a good news, Sun Ce has been selected into the Flying Tiger Guard, which is very beneficial to his future development, and if he performs well in a year or two, I am ready to promote him to be a lieutenant first." ”

Wu Shu's heart suddenly moved, and she gave Liu Xin a deep salute, and said: "Lord Liu is as kind to my Sun family as a mountain, and it is difficult to repay the concubine even if she is broken. ”

Wu Xian looked at his sister, seemed to think of something, stretched out his hand to take Sun Ren, and said, "Lord Liu, you and your sister talk slowly, and I will send Shang Xiang back to sleep for a while." ”

Liu Xin's mind flashed with inspiration, thinking that if Wu Xian went out, he and Wu Shu would be left in the room, a lonely man and a widow, what kind of physique would become, so he didn't wait for Wu Xian to go out, so he hurriedly said, "Mrs. Sun, please speak." ”

But Wu Xian still hurriedly retreated, and closed the door, the meaning of avoidance was very obvious, Wu Shu was also confused, didn't understand what his sister meant by doing this, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lord Liu, the concubine heard that there is a academy in the city, and Quan Er is not young, can you let Quan Er enter the academy to study, reluctantly ask, I hope that the adult can agree." ”

Liu Xin said without thinking: "This matter is not a big problem, how old is Sun Quan this year." ”

Wu Shu was overjoyed and said, "Quan'er will be ten years old after the New Year. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he said categorically: "This can't be done, the academy only accepts eight-year-old children, no one can be an exception, how old is his brother, when his brother is eight years old, you come to me, I will be responsible for arranging." ”

Wu Shu's expression couldn't help but darken, and she muttered: "Yi'er will be eight years old next year, but Quan'er can't do it if he doesn't study, and ask the adults to help think of a way, and the concubine will kowtow to the adults." ”

As she spoke, Wu Shu really knelt down, Liu Xin hurriedly helped her up, and said, "Mrs. Sun, he will definitely not be able to enter Xiangyang Academy, so let's do it, there is also a academy in Yingchuan, let Sun Quan go there to study, just stay away from home." ”

Time passes day by day, this year's winter seems to be particularly cold, the counties under Liu Xin's jurisdiction are relatively rich, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and there will be no hunger and cold, but it is difficult to say in other places, but no matter how kind Liu Xin is, it is impossible to help the people in other places, just instruct the counties to pay attention to inspections, in case of a large influx of refugees, they cannot be starved to death and frozen to death.

It was also in this winter that Liu Xin carried out a collective change of clothes for his more than 300,000 troops, and the soldiers changed into new clothes and armor from the inside out, and each soldier's close-fitting clothes were all replaced with silk products, because Ma Yun had read a book in his impression, silk has a strong soft surname, which can slow down the lethality of bows and arrows, and is easy to clean up wounds, as if Genghis Khan once ordered his subordinates to wear silk clothes inside the armor, and Ma Yun has no way to verify the reliable surname of this news, But silk is not a luxury for Liu Xin today, she thinks the same as Liu Xin, the life of a soldier is the most precious, so she has to believe in it rather than believe in it.

In order to better identify the battlefield and distinguish it from the armies of other princes, Liu Xin also organized personnel to investigate the situation of clothing and armor in various places, and concluded that there is no army that uses pure black armor, black and red are the most noble colors in the Han Dynasty, black and red clothes can only be worn by nobles and officials, and ordinary people cannot wear them casually, but Liu Xin ignored this set, he even admitted Liu Xie, the emperor Yanjing, what else is there to scruple about, he almost did not hesitate, Let the soldiers all change into red and black new clothes,

This change of clothing is not limited to armor, even weapons and equipment have been replaced in large quantities, Yizhou is rich in gold, silver, copper, iron, although Liu Xinxin occupied Guanghan, Shu County, Qianwei three counties are not the main production areas, but the output is also considerable, to Liu Xin to solve a big problem, plus so far unwilling to belong to the four counties of Nanzhong, where many production, means of living need to be supplied elsewhere, it is inevitable to take gold, silver, copper, iron out of exchange, this time, located in Xiangyang research institute production base, There will no longer be a shortage of high-quality copper and iron ore, with a large amount of copper and iron, the research institute can produce more sophisticated weapons,

As the most commonly used weapon in the army, the waist knife has been replaced by a new type of knife, this knife in the process of building the use of local quenching and folding steel, three new technologies of clad steel, the knife only quenched the blade when quenching, so as to achieve the effect of hard back toughness, and through repeated folding and forging so that the quality of the steel used for the casting knife has been greatly improved, the clad steel can make the knife hard and soft inside, with a stronger toughness, at the same time, the style of this knife has also changed a little, but the ring head has been dropped, the blade has been widened, and the handle has been extended. This kind of knife can be held with one hand, and can be held with both hands, and can be used immediately under the step, because this kind of knife is huge, and very durable, it can easily split the various armor instruments used now, full of domineering, so Liu Xin directly named it the knife,

The second weapon is the ash gun, the spear is developed from the spear, Ge, and halberd, although the spear has been used in large quantities at that time, but the wooden gun shaft is easy to break, especially in the face of the impact of the powerful cavalry, it is more vulnerable, Liu Xin came to Xiangyang, he began to plant a large number of ash trees, and now it is time to harvest, a large number of spears made of ash wood began to equip the army, the gun barrel made of ash wood is as white as jade, hard but not hard, soft and not broken, and the shaft is bent to one hundred and eighty degrees will not split, And no matter dry or wet, it will not be deformed.

Because the sword and ash gun still need long-term training in the use of skills, after the change of clothing, the combat effectiveness of the army can not have an immediate effect, however, Liu Xin is not worried, he still has enough time, he can afford to wait, and he believes that in another year, the strong bow produced in two years will be produced in large quantities to equip the troops, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army can be raised to a higher level, and it should not be a problem to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry at that time.

Gradually entering the cold wax moon, the five major army corps was not affected by the weather, and carried out a hot winter training campaign.

Cai Jue's body is also slowly recovering, and her actions are no different from ordinary people, gradually approaching the end of the year, Liu Xin proposed to send her home, Cai Jue understood what it meant to send her home, and her face was full of shame, but she also knew that there were more things in the month, and Liu Xin wanted to marry her and wait until after the Spring Festival, so she couldn't help but lower her head and murmured: "The slave family will not go back, and if you want to go back, you will wait for the New Year to go back." ”

Liu Xin smiled and persuaded: "Jue'er, you haven't spent the New Year at home for five or six years, and I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity in the future, you can go back with peace of mind first, and I will pick you up in person after the New Year." ”

Cai Jue's eyes were a little moist, although she had some resentment in her heart when her brother and sister-in-law sent her to Liu's mansion, and finally made a situation that was not embarrassing or embarrassing, but now five years have passed, and she is finally about to achieve a positive result, and she has some memories of the Cai family in her heart, after all, it was Cai Mao and his wife who pulled her up, and this feeling is still there.

After the New Year, Liu Xin really did not break his promise, on the fifth day of the first month, he rode a tall horse, dressed in red and green, led a large number of flag bearers, drummers, and carried a sedan chair to Cai's mansion, such a pomp and circumstance even Cai Yan did not have when he got married, and it stands to reason that Cai Jue is just a concubine, and there should be no such pomp at all, but all this is Ma Yun himself, not for anything else, he sacrificed his life to Cai Jue to save her son, Ma Yun felt that she could not be wronged,

Cai Yao learned the news on the day Cai Jue went home, naturally he was overjoyed, he has long been looking forward to the arrival of this day, since the beginning of the year, the entire Cai Mansion has been busy for this matter, even Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival have not been comfortable, on this day, the whole mansion is hung with colorful lights, the sound of firecrackers has not stopped since the early morning, the Cai family is worthy of being the first clan in Jingzhou, the dowry is full of twenty carts, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, antiques, everything, Cai Mao also specially selected twelve young and beautiful young women for her sister to be maids, these girls are indeed carefully selected by Cai Mao, not only to be beautiful and clever, but also not to surpass Cai Jue, how much effort has been spent, only Cai Mao himself knows,

Although Cai Jue just married Liu Xin as a concubine, Cai Mao didn't feel at all at a loss, he knew that from now on, the Cai family had another talisman, although Cai Mao already had a gold medal for avoiding death, but he acted more carefully, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's examples were there, there was only one gold medal for avoiding death, and it would be gone after it was used, so that he cherished it even more, and now, his sister married Liu Xin, which is equivalent to having a double insurance, Cai's mansion is even more banquet today, and the guests are full, for fear that others will not know that Cai Jue is married to Liu Xin.

For Cai Mao's approach, although Liu Xin is not very cold, he just laughed it off, today's state pastor's mansion did not invite a single guest, this is to take care of the emotions of other women, however, under Ma Yun's arrangement, the programs of visiting the church to marry and sending them to the cave room are not provincial, and it also makes Liu Xin addicted to the Han wedding.
