At the same time, this also inspired Nan Guying and Guo Zidi's competitive spirit, they believed that after today's failure, the Yanling male soldiers had realized their own gaps, and only after suffering losses could they settle down and receive training well. As long as there is a goal, coupled with their training, I believe that they will definitely be able to improve the ability of the Yanling army by a large margin.

So instead of blaming Gan Yunkai, the two of them said kind words and encouragement.

The Sima Hongyan sisters returned to the barracks with the female army, changed back into their clothes, and praised the female soldiers. On the way back, Sima Hongyan said to the sisters: "I believe that after today's incident, the water quality of our Yanling army will definitely be greatly improved, Nan Guying and Guo Zidi are really calculating, and use our women's army as a tool to educate their soldiers." ”

Nan Xunyan snorted and said: "This Guo Zidi, he knew about this matter a long time ago, and he didn't say anything to me in advance, his courage is getting bigger and bigger!" ”

Sima Hongyan and the others laughed when they heard it, and Zhong Liying said, "Oops! It seems that General Guo is obedient to our sister Nan at home on weekdays, I'm afraid he won't hide anything from Sister Nan, right? ”

Nan Xunyan's face was slightly red, but he said with some pride: "That's nature!" ”

The other people looked at Nan Xunyan's happy face and felt even more amused, Xiao Hongying said: "Sister Nan, then he didn't tell you about this today, how are you going to teach him a lesson when you go back?" Are you going to beat him up? ”

"You little Nizi clean nonsense!" Nan Xunyan pretended to be angry: "How am I the kind of unreasonable person? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Actually, Guo Zidi and Nan Guying know everything about things in the army, how can they hide this matter from them." Since we conquered Xiyue, I also found that the soldiers of Yanling were a little fluttering, thinking that after subduing Xiyue, they were the strongest army in the world, but in fact, how did they know that Xiyue had already been a strong foreign force and a weak attack. They haven't encountered a real enemy yet, and if they don't suffer a small loss, I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss in the future. The battlefield is cruel, and losing is a loss of life, but it's no joke. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "What my sister said is yes, since my sister appointed me as the right general to manage the military, I also found that the atmosphere in the army is not right, and the usual training is also a general, and it is not serious." It is really dangerous to go on like this, and it is bound to be frustrated when encountering a strong enemy. ”

Shi Jinyan suddenly asked Sima Hongyan: "You already knew that Nan Guying and Guo Zidi were hiding nearby, didn't you?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled mysteriously and said, "I guessed, but I'm not sure." ”

Shi Jinyan nodded and said: "Now we have made a lot of official transfers, and many young people have made exceptions to take on heavy responsibilities. The officialdom is fluctuating, the people's hearts are unstable, and the army also has its own thoughts. Today's incident can help Nan Gongzi and General Guo stabilize the morale of the army, and the effect is remarkable, and I think it is more useful than telling any big truth. ”

The other sisters nodded their heads together, all in agreement.

In the days that followed, the atmosphere in the Yanling army was completely renewed, and the original pride and complacency had disappeared and changed to a vigorous spirit. As the chief instructor, Nan Guying formulated a detailed training plan for each branch of the army, and commanded all armies to exercise diligently every day, and the rapid progress of the Yanling army was amazing.

Guo Zidi proposed a rotation system, since the overall level of the army should be raised, it should not be limited to the garrison in the capital, and the army guarding the border should also undergo strict training to improve its combat capability. Therefore, whenever the training reaches a certain period, some elite soldiers will be sent to the border to replace the original garrison, so that they can come back for training, so that the rotation back and forth, one wave is stronger than the other, and the strength of Yanling can rise.

After Nan Xunyan and Sima Hongyan agreed to get married, they immediately told Nan Jiuxiao and his wife the good news, and the old couple was so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together. The daughter has been married, and now the little life is delicious, and the husband and wife are in love. Now that the son is going to get married again, he is still married to the lord of Yanling Feng, it seems that all the good things in the world have caught up with them all of a sudden, and the joy is indescribable.

So Nan Jiuxiao and his wife began to choose a time to prepare for the marriage. The future daughter-in-law is the queen of a country, and the wedding must not be ambiguous and wronged the phoenix lord.

Sima Hongyan handed over her marriage to Shi Jinyan to deal with, and she was careful and would definitely handle it properly. As a result, the other sisters didn't do it, so they had to make trouble with Shi Jinyan, and even Nan Xunyan followed suit. Sima Hongyan was helpless, so she had to toss as much as they liked.

Sima Hongyan went to visit Liao Ziling in person, and said that he wanted to invite Liao Ziling and his wife to be his main marriage.

The marriage of the king of a country is not as simple as an ordinary family marrying a daughter, and there are many things that need to be prepared in advance. Although Sima Hongyan repeatedly told it to be simple and simple, it still took more than a month.

Yan Mengling finally set the wedding ceremony in October, Sima Hongyan wondered why it had to be delayed for so long, Nan Guying said that there was no history of the empress getting married in the world, so the previous wedding equipment of the Ministry of Rites could not be used, and all of them had to be remade, so the time was set in October was a bit tight.

Married once in his life, Sima Hongyan also attached great importance to it, so he nodded and agreed, anyway, the marriage was decided, and it didn't matter if the ceremony was later.

Regarding state affairs, with Shi Jinyan and Li Siyu in charge, everything is in order and handled properly, Sima Hongyan is very relieved, and she can concentrate on planning the strategy of recovering several other countries. Although the world was shaken in Xiyue in one fell swoop, there was no movement from the other countries, but Sima Hongyan understood that the other countries must be secretly making their own calculations. On the surface, there is nothing to do, but in fact, there is a turbulent undercurrent.

The underground passage with Beiling is progressing smoothly, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another half a year, during which Beiling uses a large number of ice jade, snow lotus, and animal skins to exchange for food, silk, and handicrafts from Yanling, and it is said that the livelihood of the people of Beiling is now much better.

Since Xiyue has become the western capital of Yanling, Yanling occupies two-fifths of the world, in order to show distinction, Sima Hongyan told his subjects to change the name of Yanling to Yanling Zhongdu.

Yanling Xidu spent great efforts to open academies and smelting workshops, and while improving the culture of the whole people, they began to build a large number of various metal tools, especially weapons and armor, which had the highest manufacturing level, and then exchanged the things they produced for money and grain in Yanlingzhong. Xiahou Shuojie and Zuo Mansha have managed well, and the lives of the people in the Western Capital have greatly improved, all of which are very grateful for the merits of Sima Hongyan, the phoenix master.

The gradual transformation of the Western Capital worried many ministers, and there were always people who reminded Sima Hongyan to be careful that they would have two hearts after they became strong in the future. Sima Hongyan said that while the Western Capital is progressing, Yanling Zhongdu is also making progress, and in the past, the comprehensive strength of Yanling Zhongdu was stronger than that of the Western Capital, and in the future, the Western Capital will still rely on the support of the Central Capital to develop.

Since it is better to live under the central capital, who will be idle and have nothing to rebel against? The people only want to live and work in peace and contentment, even if a small number of people have bad ambitions, but no one responds to them, they will not succeed. What's more, there are female military spies in the Western Capital, and no matter what happens, they can't hide it from her.

Therefore, Sima Hongyan did not interfere fearlessly with regard to the Western Capital, and completely trusted it to Xiahou Shuojie and his wife to govern. After hearing about this, Xiahou Shuojie and his wife were even more grateful to Sima Hongyan for his trust, and secretly swore that they would not rebel for life, and would never let him have two hearts.

Now Yanling has absorbed Xiyue, allied with Beiling, and gradually grown, which makes Dongning difficult to sleep. In particular, he has repeatedly allied with Nanyi, but has never received a reply from Nanyi, which makes Dongning even more worried. They don't understand what Nan Yi thinks, they always have the posture of outsiders, and they don't have contact with anyone, which really makes people can't figure out their plans.

Dongning knew that Sima Hongyan and their Liangzi had already formed a relationship, and sooner or later they would come to take revenge, but now they were at a loss and had nothing to do.

Originally, he wanted to send spies to Yanling to sneak in to find out the dynamics of Yanling, but who knew that Sima Hongyan had adopted a strategy of mutual supervision among officials, officials, and soldiers, and it was impossible for outsiders to sneak into Yanning Pass. And the Dongning royal family knew that Sima Hongyan must have planted a secret agent inside them.

Dongning people really can't figure out how Sima Hongyan, an orphan girl, whose parents are dead and has no foundation, has inexplicably taken away the Yan family for hundreds of years? And since she became the master of the phoenix, she has changed her official position and recruited new ones, making Dongning passive everywhere, and there is no way at all.

In the end, Dongning could do nothing but recruit a large number of troops and garrison heavy troops on the border.

For a time, the Central Plains Continent actually entered a period of relative peace.

After determining the date of the wedding, Sima Hongyan did not intend to hide it, and announced it directly, and even Dongning and Nanyi heard the news.

After Beiling got the news, Hanbei Ying sent people to prepare generous gifts, and also sent a prince and a princess to Yanling to congratulate them.

One day, the prince and princess of Beiling came to Yanling Zhongdu, Sima Hongyan personally went out of the imperial city to greet him, and I heard that it was Han Xuefeng, the seventh prince of Beiling, and Han Miaoqi, the ninth princess.

Han Xuefeng didn't know it, but Han Miaoqi Sima Hongyan knew that it was the handsome princess who came to participate in the competition during the Five Nations Competition.

Han Xuefeng and Han Miaoqi didn't expect Sima Hongyan to come to greet them in person, both of them were flattered, and hurriedly dismounted and saluted.

Han Miaoqi has seen Sima Hongyan several times when she visited Yanling, the first time she came, Sima Hongyan was still the quasi-princess of the eldest prince, and Sima Hongyan was a small military general during the second Five Kingdoms Competition, and now it is the third time, Sima Hongyan is already the phoenix lord of Yanling. The three identities of meeting three times are becoming more and more noble, and Han Miaoqi is also secretly sighing that the world is changeable.

Sima Hongyan looked at Han Miaoqi's rough skin due to living in a cold place all year round, and couldn't help but have another layer of understanding of the harsh living environment of Beiling, so he said to Han Miaoqi: "You have to stay a little longer when you come this time, this time is different from the past, you can stay here and play for a few more days before going back." ”

Han Miaoqi has red chilblains on her face caused by the cold, and there are also scars on her hands that have not healed, but it is still difficult to hide her natural beauty. As soon as she heard Sima Hongyan's invitation to stay longer, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Can I really live in Yanling for a little longer?" ”

I heard a cough from someone behind him, but it was the Seventh Emperor Han Xuefeng, and he said to Sima Hongyan: "Lord Feng, don't listen to my ninth sister's nonsense, we are here to send a congratulatory gift to our father, and we will go back after a few days." ”
