After Xiliao raided Xintun Guards, Xiao Yeyang recuperated at home for a few days, and then began to inspect the four guard posts.

Although Xinxi Town suffered heavy casualties, its shortcomings were also exposed from this raid. Xiao Yeyang learned from the experience and re-formulated a plan for training soldiers.

Because the people of Xiliao were watching with eagerness, Xiao Yeyang did not dare to delay, and took the time to train the soldiers and strengthen the mutual cooperation of the twelve military towns.

It wasn't until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month that I returned to Ganzhou City.

At the same time, the people Xiao Yeyang assigned to Xiliao also received a reply.

Daohua frowned when she saw Xiao Yeyang read the news, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang: "The reason why Xiliao raided the new garrison was firstly to test the combat coordination ability of the military town, and secondly because the Xiliao royal family had foreign aid. Last autumn, the Xiliao royal family received a large amount of food, maybe because of this

, give them the confidence."

Daohua frowned: "Who will send food to Xiliao?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "We haven't found out who it is yet." He didn't say anything troublesome. He looked at Daohua's pregnant belly, squatted down, and rested his head on his belly.

"I've been reading to the little guy these days to prevent him from forgetting me."

Daohua was speechless and said with a smile: "You are the father of the child. If the child forgets, no one will forget you." After saying that, he paused.

"My eldest brother spends the New Year alone in Xintunwei. I'm always a little worried. How about I write another letter and ask him to come over?"

Xiao Yeyang: "...I think we should follow the wishes of the eldest brother. He also wants to get familiar with the personnel there more quickly when he stays in Xintunwei."

"Xintunwei was raided by the Xiliao people this time. Many officials were in panic. It was time for the elder brother to show his fists."

Hearing this, Daohua said no more: "Then I will send him some more food. It doesn't matter whether he eats it or gives it to someone else. By the way, the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law also have to send some."

Xiao Yeyang: "Just ask Gu Yu and the others to handle such a small matter, don't worry about it all the time."

Daohua smiled and said: "I just talked and didn't worry too much. Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the master's yard to have dinner."

This year is the rice flower. Xiao Yeyang has come to Xiliang for the third year. Because Xintunwei was raided, the people were worried about an attack from Xiliao. This year's New Year atmosphere is not as strong and lively as last year.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Daohua invited the Li family, the Dong family, and the Su family for a New Year reunion. Xiao Yeyang also invited some officials and generals he valued to come over, and the New Year atmosphere in the house was quite strong.

On New Year's Eve, when Xiao Yeyang was posting couplets with Daohua, Defu hurried over: "Master, the Xiliao people just attacked Gandan Town not long ago."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed, he handed the couplet in his hand to Guyu who was standing aside, gave Daohua a word, and turned around to leave.

After Xiao Yeyang left, Daohua kept frowning.

The raid on Xintun Guard in November, and now the attack on Ganzhou Guard, is it possible that Western Liao really wants to break out a war with Daxia?

Because of the attacks by the Xiliao people, the already weak flavor of the New Year became even weaker.

Xiao Yeyang was fending off the Xiliao people, and Daohua and Gu Jian were no longer interested in celebrating the New Year. They were both waiting at home for Xiao Yeyang's return.

......

Xiao Yeyang took over the Ganzhou Guard as soon as he came to Xiliang. The border troops here have been strictly trained by him for two years, and their morale and combat capabilities are much stronger than those of the Xintun Guard.

The Xiliao people killed nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Xintun Guard, but they did not get any benefits in the Ganzhou Guard.

This time, Yelu Kangda personally led the team. Ever since Xiao Yeyang recaptured Danhe, he never wanted to recapture Danhe again.

However, he did not expect that the combat capability of Ganzhou Guard's frontier troops was several times higher than that of Xintun Guard. After three charges, he lost nearly 20,000 people, while the opponent only lost several thousand people.

This time Xiliao dispatched 50,000 soldiers. After the fifth charge, Yelu Kangda decisively escaped with the remaining 10,000 soldiers.

"Yelukanda, what do you think I, the Daxia general, are? I can fight whenever I want, and run away whenever I want?"

Xiao Yeyang didn't want to let Yelu Kangda go, and at the same time wanted to scare Xiliao so as to buy more training time for the military town, so he directly pursued him with his cavalry.

Along the way, only a few thousand people were killed in Yelu Kangda. In the end, because they were afraid of going deep into the hinterland of Xiliao and being surrounded, they had to stop and turn back.

By the time Xiao Yeyang finished handling the affairs of the military town and returned to Ganzhou City, it was already early February.

"After this battle, Xiliao should calm down for a while."

Xiao Yeyang lay lazily on the recliner, enjoying feeding the rice flowers with a satisfied expression, but after a while, he frowned again.

"There were many casualties in the two battles. Nearly 10,000 people were killed in the Xintun Guards. More than 5,000 people were killed in the Ganzhou Guards this time. I have already given the commander of the capital a discount for the pension, but Wei Hongcai is afraid

It’s a prevarication.”

Daohua frowned: "Does he still dare to covet Mo's money?"

Xiao Yeyang: "With my identity here, I don't dare to be greedy for him, but I certainly won't give him that happily. Also, we have to find a way to replace the dead soldiers as soon as possible."

"The tax revenue here in Xiliang is too small. Even if Uncle Huang allows me to handle the tax money here by myself, there won't be much money to use."

"However, recruitment must continue. Not only the Ganzhou Guard, but also the Xintun Guard must start recruiting."

As he said that, he looked at Daohua apologetically and touched her belly, which was getting bigger.

"I originally wanted to spend more time with you and your children, but I didn't expect that Xiliao would start a war so quickly. I'm afraid I will be busy again in the next few months."

Daohua held his hand: "I knew before I came to Xiliang that you would be very busy in the first few years. Don't worry and do what you want to do. I will take good care of myself and Master."

In the next two months or so, Xiao Yeyang spent more than 20 days each month training outside. During the remaining days, he would take time to go home to be with Daohua and Gu Jian, and read to the child in his belly.<

/p>

At the end of March, after Xiao Yeyang went out, two uninvited guests came to the Xiao Mansion.

Daohua looked at Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang who suddenly appeared in front of her, and said in surprise: "Mother, why are you and Hero Chu here?"

Before Guo Ruomei could answer, Chu Lang spoke: "What, you don't welcome us?"

Daohua shook her head quickly, smiled and stepped forward to express her blessing to Guo Ruomei: "Both Xiao Yeyang and I have been asking for mother and Hero Chu to come. How can we not welcome them? We are just a little surprised."

Guo Ruomei smiled and took Daohua's hand: "Don't pay attention to your Uncle Chu, he just has a bad mouth." After saying that, he looked at Daohua's almost nine-month-old belly.

"The child didn't make trouble for you, right?"

Daohua smiled and said: "This child is very active, but he didn't bother me too much. I didn't suffer much. Mother, Uncle Chu, let's go into the house quickly."

Chu Lang raised his eyebrows when he heard Daohua's name.

Xiao Yeyang is married to a good wife who listens to her mother-in-law. Just now she called him Chu Daxia, but as soon as Ruomei opened her mouth, she changed her name to Uncle Chu.
