Since Deng Ai's mother is his aunt, with the close relationship between the two, Deng Ai's return to Jingzhou is already an ironclad matter. Huo Yi was not in a hurry to urge Deng Ai to go on the road with him at this time, and the aunt who had not met for a long time cherished him a hundred times, which really made Huo Yi recall the feeling when his mother was alive.

The beautiful days are always short-lived, and the second day is just slightly bright, and on the ridge road of Dengjiazhuang, more than a dozen black shadows hurriedly go west. People don't care about the departure of Deng Ai's family, and may think that he can't wait to go to Xiangcheng to take office, so he leaves early.

Only Huo Yi, who was illuminated by the moonlight that had not yet faded, understood how big a treasure he had picked up.

is still day and night, and his aunt is also dressed in a short shirt, and she hurriedly follows everyone without even making a cry of distress. I thought about my weaker mother, this aunt who was not a few years older than my mother, what kind of things she had experienced to be so persevering.

Deng Ai seems to have experienced this way of marching, crossing the mountains and mountains without any stagnation, and even slightly faster than the elite army under his command. The accompanying Wang brothers and more than a dozen pro-soldiers had already been moved by the mother and son.

When they first arrived at Deng Ai's house, when they saw Huo Yi and his aunt, all the sergeants thought that the general was looking for relatives, but after seeing the performance of Deng Ai and Deng Mu in the wilderness, the sergeants only felt ashamed of their hard work of going out day and night and crossing mountains and mountains on the way when they came.

Unconsciously, Deng Shizai had already left a respectful back in the hearts of this group of veterans who had been in battle for a long time.

If it is said that the journey is smooth when you come, it seems that it will not be so easy to go, the major warlords attach great importance to the population, and the order that you are allowed to enter and not to leave has long been engraved in the hearts of every border soldier.

In order to infiltrate the defense of the Cao army, Huo Yi and his party stayed in Yicheng for a long time, and finally promised a boatman a lot of money in the evening to get out of the control of the Cao army and arrive in Dangyang County, Nanjun.

Dangyang naturally came to his own range, but he still couldn't make a noise, after all, Huo Yi was still worried, and if someone knew that he went to the vicinity of Xuchang during the period, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary turmoil.

It is still light and simple, but when it arrives in Dangyang, there are cars and horses prepared by their own families.

Everything went smoothly, Huo Yi took Deng Ai's mother and son to Huojiabao in Zhijiang.

Huo Yi arrived in Huojiabao, and arranged for Deng's mother to live in the backyard, Yue'er newly lost her mother, at this time, with Deng's mother as a companion, she would not be lonely, Deng's mother saw Yue'er, and heard that Yue'er was Huo Yi's wife who had not passed the door, and she treated her as if she were her own, not ordinary love.

Huojiabao has gone through such a toss, it is really a waste of waste, the death of the old master Huo Jun is sad, but the young master is benevolent and righteous, rewards and punishments are clear, and he treats his own peasant servants as family, so he is naturally a heart.

Huo Yi carefully selected the elite and young among the 600 cavalry under his command, eliminated the old and weak, made them return home, gave land to cultivate, and got more than 400 people.

In three years, Huo Yi wanted to train the young and strong troops under his command to become the grassroots officers of his own army, so that they could have a set of regular military training methods.

Bai Yueli these more than 400 people have to be trained according to a set of training outlines found by themselves and the generals, and there was also queue training in ancient times. The second is the weight-bearing cross-country, and the endurance of the soldiers has a decisive role in the future war; For the use of various types of ordnance, Huo Yi selected six types of long and short blades: ring-headed knives, halberds, spears, shields, bows, and crossbows.

During the break, he also had to accept the cultural lessons brought by Deng Ai, Huo Yi wanted to train these soldiers into the elite of the elite, and cultural literacy was a requirement for hard surnames, and even officers like Wang Chong, Wang He, Wang Ming, and Huo Buyi who did not understand the text must participate, and they must be strict.

Three years later, my own army must not only be able to fight, but also be able to read and hyphenate, read military books, and if there are one or two generals in the middle, I can be regarded as earning.

For the food of the soldiers, Huo Yi took out the money and property given by the lord Liu Bei when he was appointed as a general, as well as some savings in the family, the property robbed by Wang He and Wang Ming from various merchants, plus the supply of more than 1,000 households in the whole fort, it is not a problem to supply the soldiers with meat for every meal.

At night, his soldiers had to be summoned at any time, sometimes on a rapid march at night, sometimes to lurk at the target location, and to try not to be detected as much as possible. In short, this kind of inexplicable link, which is impossible in the previous training, must be an idea that Huo Yi came up with.

At that time, people regarded reading as a sacred thing, and when they had the opportunity to read, they naturally refused to fall behind, because only nobles or wealthy people could read books!

Huo Yi came up with the idea of brushing black ink on a large smoothed stone slab, and when it dried, he wrote in lime powder, so that he could save a lot of books.

If Deng Ai was three points excited, three points voluntary, three points helpless, and one point unwilling, then at this time he was already very willing. His cousin is quick to think, full of strange theories, and even heard him say that in the future, everyone in the world can read, and truly be educated, as for whether he believes it or not, when he saw Huo Yi's eyes, Deng Ai really believed it.

Sometimes Huo Yi also wonders if Deng Ai used to talk to people too little to become stuttering, after a few days, it is rare to hear Deng Ai stuttering in cultural classes, and occasionally being choked by veterans such as Huo Buyi will come out of his mouth.

Huojiabao in Xia Yue is still vegetarian, although he is training inside and out, busy, but he still looks solemn, as if the hot weather outside can not invade here at all, not only the chilling white practice, but also the murderous aura spreading all over the city, these sergeants who have been in battle into an army have come out more and more elite.

The training of sergeants in Huojiabao was in full swing.

The outside world is still so noisy, the battle of the east side of the Whisker Mouth, Cao Sun and the two sides confronted each other, no one took advantage, but two people were achieved, a Wuzi Liang will be the first Zhang Wenyuan, who can stop the cry of the Eastern Wu Baby, and a Jinfan thief Gan Ning, who broke into the Cao camp and rode out unharmed.

Ma Chao in the west finally returned to Liu Bei, and Liu Zhang offered Chengdu and surrendered. God is pitiful, the whereabouts of that son Liu Xun are still unknown.

With everything in Huojiabao on the right track, it is already the eighteenth winter of Jian'an, and most of the first year of his worries has passed, time flies really fast, Huo Yi looked at the West, is it time to accept Jiang Boyu?
