Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that Cai Yan was indeed much more haggard than before. It turned out that this girl was lovesick. Cai Yan fell in love with her husband. Ma Yun was not surprised. She had already fallen in love with her husband.
She had a hunch about this, but she didn't expect that Cai Yan would say it in front of her one day. Ma Yun knew that Cai Yan was completely influenced by herself. If she hadn't told her that happiness depends on herself,
To fight for something like that, a young lady from a well-known family like her would not be able to say such things anyway. But what do you want Ma Yun to do? Do you want her to go back and say to Liu Xin, Husband, I will help you fight for it.
She came back with a new wife. Ma Yun really didn’t know what to say.
Cai Yan lay on Ma Yun's shoulder and cried for a while. Seeing that Ma Yun didn't say a word, he knew that she was unhappy. He straightened up and said with sobs: "Sister Yun, I know this shouldn't be like this. But I won't embarrass my sister.
, I feel better after I speak out what is in my heart, and I will never marry again in this life."
Ma Yun was originally thinking of some way to persuade Cai Yan. After hearing what she said, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. She sighed secretly. Liu Xin had a lot of women anyway, and Cai Yan was not the only one. She reached out to help Cai Yan.
Yan wiped her tears and said: "Sister, don't talk nonsense. How can a girl not get married? It's just that this matter is a bit embarrassing. I don't know what Liu Xin means, and your father's situation is not easy.
ah."
Cai Yan said uneasily: "Sister, you really don't blame me."
Ma Yun sighed: "Hey, silly girl, if you are willing to marry into my family, my sister can have more companions to talk to, so why can I blame you? You don't have to worry too much, I will find a chance to ask first.
What Liu Xin means."
At this moment, Ying'er ran over in a hurry and shouted: "Madam, the second lady has given birth."
Ma Yun said in surprise: "Have you given birth? A boy or a girl? Is Yu'er okay?"
Yinger's face was full of joy and she said: "A boy has been born. Mother and child are safe. I have sent someone to report to the master."
Her face was filled with joy, as if it was not Bian Yu who had just given birth but herself.
Ma Yun just listened to Bian Yu's painful voice outside the room, which was more uncomfortable than giving birth to a child herself. Now she finally felt relieved. She pulled Cai Yan and said: "Come on, sister, come with me to see
Baby go."
Bian Yu lay weakly on the bed, his face pale, and there were slight beads of sweat on his forehead.
Liu Xin gently held her hand and said, "Yu'er, thank you for your hard work."
Bian Yu's eyes were half-opened, he nodded feebly, and forced out a smile.
Liu Xin knew in her heart that Bian Yu could be said to have escaped from hell this time. Bian Yu was only eighteen years old this year. Although he was not too young at that time, in terms of future generations, it was still too early to have children.
Some are prone to dystocia. What's more important is that Bian Yu usually likes to be quiet and is even more lazy to exercise after pregnancy. Ma Yun tried to persuade her to take more walks several times, but she always refused to listen. This time she really suffered a lot. Liu
Xin was still a little reluctant to let her go. He stayed with her for the past three days. It was not until her face regained some rosiness that she felt relieved.
A training center outside the city arranged an urban offensive and defensive exercise. Liu Xin, who was relieved, also decided to go to the scene to see what these new troops would look like after four months. He was still full of expectations.
There is a section of city wall built in the training center, which is more than five feet high and about one hundred feet long. Xu Huang's first legion is responsible for defending the city, while Zhang Fei's second legion is responsible for attacking the city.
Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, and Wenpin accompanied Liu Xin to the high platform. From there, the entire military training ground was clearly visible.
Wenpin, as the commander-in-chief of the exercise, waved the flag in his hand, and the war drums rang loudly. The soldiers of the Second Army carried ladders, lined up neatly, and pressed towards the city wall step by step. When
When they were within a stone's throw of the city wall,
The sound of drums suddenly became more urgent. The soldiers' pace suddenly quickened, and they spread their legs and rushed toward the city wall. With the sound of drums coming from the direction of the city wall, countless people appeared on the top of the wall that was empty just now.
Soldiers, for a moment, arrows rained down like rain.
Wenpin turned around and explained to Liu Xin: "My lord, these arrows are not equipped with arrow clusters. The arrows are wrapped in cotton cloth and stained with dry lime. The person who was hit by the arrow will have white spots on his body, which makes it easier to count the results of the battle."
Liu Xin nodded, said nothing, and continued to look at the training ground ahead.
The soldiers on the attacking side raised their shields one after another to block the rain of arrows. They seemed not to be affected at all. When they reached the foot of the city wall, the soldiers quickly set up bamboo ladders and rushed to the top of the wall. The defenders on the top of the wall resisted for a while and were defeated.
Array is coming.
Although Liu Xin also experienced the battle to regain Wancheng, that time he mainly relied on surprise attacks and did not have any critical battles. Liu Xin has seen such scenes in TV dramas in the past, and they were much more tragic than this kind of exercise.
, but now I am very shocked to see thousands of troops fighting and fighting on a city wall.
Seeing that Liu Xin had not said a word, Wenpin thought that he was not satisfied with the results of the exercise, so he quickly said: "My lord, it is actually much easier to defend the city than to attack it. But in order to avoid casualties during the exercise, like rolling logs, beating
The defensive weapons such as stone were not used, and of course the attackers did not use any large siege equipment. The purpose of the exercise was just to allow the soldiers to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield."
Liu Xin patted Wenpin on the shoulder and said: "Well, you have done a lot, so it is necessary to consider this. However, we still need to find ways to make the soldiers skilled in the use of various weapons and equipment."
Zhang Fei grinned and said, "Brother, we often organize soldiers to practice the equipment used in attacking and defending the city. Look at the big holes under the city wall. They were made by rolling logs and stones."
Liu Xin looked around and saw many uneven places under the city wall.
Xu Huang continued: "Brother, this training center you proposed to build is really necessary. The more soldiers come here to train a few times, they will be equivalent to a veteran who has been on the battlefield."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Although the exercises have improved the soldiers' combat skills to a certain extent, compared with veterans who have participated in actual combat, there is still a big gap. At least people who have been on the battlefield many times have natural
It will reveal a kind of murderous intent, and those who have not experienced real war, no matter how well trained they are, may be at a loss when they see blood on the battlefield."
Zhang Fei said unconvinced: "What's there to be afraid of on the battlefield? It's my first time on the battlefield. I didn't panic at all when I saw the blood, and I wasn't soft at all."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said, "You have learned it by killing pigs all the time."
Wenpin listened on the sidelines and became a little uncertain. He said: "In the past few months, I have thought of all kinds of situations on the battlefield. The exercises I arranged for them include daytime and nighttime exercises.
Yes, there are those who attack camps, there are plain battles, there are valley battles, there are sunny days and there are rainy days. I wonder, in my lord's opinion, how can we train these new soldiers into warriors who can fight a hundred battles?"
Liu Xin said sternly: "Training is training and can never replace actual combat. However, more training is better than no training. I remembered a sentence and used it as a motto on the training ground - sweat more on the school field and bleed less on the battlefield!
Training must be stepped up and exercises must continue.”
Next, the two sides of the offensive and defensive drills swapped positions and conducted another drill. Liu Xin looked very calm this time. Although the scene was beautiful, there was still a big gap compared to actual combat.
When the gong to withdraw the troops rang, Wenpin asked: "Lord, do you want to organize them to use large equipment again and see the effect of the training?"
Liu Xin looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. He waved his hand and said, "No, it's getting late. It's time for the soldiers to eat. In this way, I won't go back at noon today. I will eat with them. I will come too."
How about trying the food in your military camp?"
Xu Huang said from the side: "Zhong Ye, tell me to go down and add two dishes to the elder brother."
Just as Wenpin was about to make arrangements, Liu Xin stopped them and said, "No, I will eat whatever the soldiers eat. I'm not that particular."
So, the four of them joined a small team and started building a team. There was an area in the training center specifically for the troops to camp for the exercise. After receiving the order, the soldiers got busy, cooking pots and cooking, and smoke was everywhere for a while.
.Normally, the generals in the army only eat small meals. Today Liu Xin came and ate from the same pot as the ordinary soldiers. Those officials did not dare to show off, so they each found a small team to join in.
These soldiers cooked by themselves every day, and they were quick with their hands and feet. They were all done in a short time. In front of Liu Xin was a large bowl of rice and a large bowl of vegetables, both of which were packed in copper basins the same size as a washbasin.
The rice is rice and the vegetable is radish stewed with tofu.
Soldiers had already served the food in pottery bowls and handed it to Liu Xin respectfully. Liu Xin held up the bowl and said to the soldiers with a smile: "Don't be restrained, everyone. These meals are your enemies. Let's cook them together."
Destroy them."
The soldiers all laughed, and the lord seemed to be very easy to get along with. The soldiers had been hungry for a long time, and when they heard Liu Xin's words, they opened their arms and started to devour them. Liu Xin also imitated their example and ate like a storm.
Get up. The soldiers all ate very quickly, and rushed to get more food after eating. Liu Xin only ate one bowl, then put it down, watching them eating, thoughtfully.
By the time everyone had finished eating, the two large copper basins were already clean, with not even a grain of rice left on the bottom of the basin. Liu Xin looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to ask you a few words. Please tell the truth."
answer."
When the soldiers heard this, they all stood up and said nervously: "Please give me your orders, my lord."
Liu Xin waved her hands and said: "Sit down, everyone, sit down. I'm just chatting with you, there's no need to be so restrained. I ask you, can you have enough to eat in the military camp?"
