Zhen Mi gave birth to a boy, this is the second boy in Yuan's mansion, so the whole family is crazy, almost Zhen Mi's delivery room is surrounded by a city wall, and as Yuan Yun's second child, this little guy has been blessed by everyone as soon as he was born.

And everyone also expects this child's future to be as capable as his father, but this is directly despised by Yuan Yun, for him, as long as his child grows up healthily, and then lives unrestrained, this is the most important thing.

As a result, the child's name was defined as Yuan Ye, and Yuan Yun's idea was very simple, that is, he hoped that this child could run freely in his field.

Thinking of the newborn child like this, Yuan Yun felt very helpless in the frame, at this moment the army had already set out, 20,000 gunpowder army soldiers, plus 5,000 accompanying personnel, just drove to Chang'an.

Originally, Yuan Yun planned to take the water route, but at Zhuge Liang's suggestion, they still chose the land route, and Zhuge Liang's explanation was also very simple, because there were still many new soldiers in the team, let them take the water route and take the boat, I am afraid that there would be a very good opportunity for exercise, and only on the way to the long journey, these recruits and veterans can get along, so the land route is the best choice.

Looking at the team with no head in front and no end in sight, Yuan Yun could only sit in the frame in a daze, he was now thinking about his newborn child, and it was at this time that he realized that he was even more afraid of death.

"Li Li is not a loss of being a general under Li Dao back then, the command and dispatch are very reasonable and moderate, 25,000 people marched, and there was not a single person left behind." When Zhuge Liang spoke, the feather fan in his hand shook very happily, and it seemed that he really admired Li Li's talent.

Yuan Yun glanced at the front of the team and said, "This person was a strong general before, but he has been in Luoyang for a long time, and he is a little depressed, and this time he came out hoping that he can regain his strength."

And he is very good at leading cavalry, although they are not riding horses this time, but they are almost the same in the long run, and he should be a suitable person to lead the team. ”

Zhuge Liang heard Yuan Yun say this, he could still hear the roar of those tanks in his ears, and now there are twenty-one tanks coming with the army, these guys made of steel are not slow at all, although they do not have the explosive power of horses, but the endurance is indeed unlimited, as long as those fuels are not used up, they can keep moving forward.

After shaking the feather fan twice, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "There seem to be nine tanks of that kind in the last batch, Ma Jun said that after completing the final project, he will use a big ship to transport them to Chang'an, and I don't know if he can catch up with us?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Ma Jun's temper, Kong Ming should understand, he never said enough, since he agreed, then I believe he should be able to do it, after all, the remaining nine vehicles only have a track process, and he should be able to get it done in half a month." ”

Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with this result, and immediately continued: "In this way, we have a full thirty tanks, and if we fight on the land of Xiliang and Ma Pingchuan, Ma Chao and Han Sui will inevitably suffer a big loss." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused slightly, when he was practicing in Luoyang before, when he saw more than a dozen tanks charging in a line, the formation was simply shocking, not only more powerful artillery, but some tanks were equipped with flamethrowers.

This kind of thing modified from the previous dragon car, the lethality is even more terrifying than the artillery, the only certainty is the range, but with the artillery of other tanks supplemented, if thirty tanks form a phalanx, it can indeed make it impossible for any enemy to get close.

"Our course of action has been transmitted to Ma Chao's ears through Zhang Mo, as soon as we enter the Xiliang realm, the other party may not be able to wait for us to reach Jincheng, and they will launch a surprise attack."

Zhuge Liang continued to speak, but he didn't have much intention of waiting for Yuan Yun's answer, so as soon as the words fell, he immediately continued: "Now that we have 25,000 people, thirty tanks can't assume all the defensive role, and it will depend on the ability of those thousands of craftsmen later." ”

Yuan Yun was still full of smiles, and said: "The cavalry is afraid of not only steel wire mesh, but also the simple defense of trenches, we have so many craftsmen, we can build a large number of trenches at any time, so I choose to bring more tools, less baggage, with the existence of tools such as boom machines, even if these craftsmen build a simple city overnight, I think it is not impossible."

No matter how powerful Ma Chao's cavalry is, as long as we build a dozen feet of earth wall, their charge will immediately lose its effect, this kind of low-cost thing is what we should reuse, although the steel wire mesh is light, but it is a waste of time to make, and after using it a few times, it will basically be scrapped, it is really not much better than the earth wall.

And this time we just want Ma Chao and Han Sui to choose to take the initiative, if we bring a lot of defensive things, they are likely to give up this opportunity, and instead choose to wander around and fight with us, then it will be really troublesome. ”

Yuan Yun's voice fell, only to hear Deng Ai's voice suddenly come out of the carriage, and said: "Let's crusade against Ma Chao and Han Sui, isn't it that as long as we find them, we will let the tanks pursue day and night, where will they still have the heart to launch a surprise attack on us at that time?" So as long as you block their first round of attacks, and then run thousands of miles to chase them away, so the weight of defense is really worthless. ”

Yuan Yun and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled when they heard Deng Ai say this, and the two didn't discuss it anymore in an instant, because Deng Ai had already said the key to the problem, but the two of them were negligent.

In this way, the frame began to become quiet, Zhuge Liang continued to study the map of Xiliang with Deng Ai, and Yuan Yun leaned against the car window, and began to miss the children and wives and concubines at home.

When the army marched to the Hongnong territory, the sky suddenly snowed heavily, and if this kind of weather was encountered by other armies, it must be a very unlucky thing, because it would definitely reduce the number of troops, and no general would want to encounter such weather.

The gunpowder army was different, it was easier to camp on the snow, there was no need to pile up heavy soil, as long as the snow was pressed against the camp tent, and then a simple marching iron furnace was lit in the camp tent, and the basic tent was as warm as a spring day, and even hot food could be cooked on the iron stove.

The first thing Yuan Yun did after setting up camp was to cook food by the iron stove in his tent, and he didn't seem to have done it himself for a long time, so Shi Shen and Xiao Liu were extremely looking forward to it, knowing that there would definitely be food to enjoy tonight.

After the whole night fell, Yuan Yun's camp was already full of people, all of them were the leaders of various detachments, Li Li was now their leader, seeing more than 20 people crowded in his camp tent, Yuan Yun felt very satisfied, because he was the boss, and with so many subordinates supporting the scene, he couldn't do it without vanity.

The one who served everyone this night was the meat bun, a high-calorie food that is perfect for such a snowy night.

And this night, Yuan Yun didn't mention any topic about the war at all, and kept asking about the family affairs of these generals, and most of the people here were also old people who had been following since the gunpowder army became an army, so they were also familiar with Yuan Yun, so the scene was also very warm.

"Tie Laosan now has three mothers-in-law, and this guy's **** will never be idle......" With the laughter of a partial general, the entire camp tent immediately became lively.

The man called Tie Laosan blushed instantly, and then said angrily: "Lao Tzu's three mothers-in-law are not angry, and now there is not a single man, so this time he has achieved military exploits, Lao Tzu plans to marry another one, his grandmother's." ”

Yuan Yun also laughed when he heard this, and then pointed at Tie Laosan and said, "Are all the belongings you earned from your military exploits used in giving birth to a son?" ”

Tie Laosan's face immediately became flattering, and he said with a smile: "I don't know, the brothers of our gunpowder army now rely on their military exploits and live as human beings, how can everyone inherit such a big family business, and if there is no son who continues to join the gunpowder army to earn war exploits, it will be impossible to keep eating the old book in the future, right?" So it's our wish to have a son and then train it and send it to the gunpowder army, but my mother-in-law just doesn't fight, grandma. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Don't you plan to send your children to the academy to study, and then mix up a clerical job or something, so that it is at least more stable than licking blood from the knife edge, right?" ”

At this time, another man immediately stood up, patted the nail on his chest and said: "Those poor scholars have nothing to learn, the treatment is not as good as ours, and even the soldiers below are not necessarily comparable, especially when they are gunpowder soldiers, it is a very face-saving thing, those merchants, farmers, and even scholars have to salute us when they see it, this majesty is not something ordinary people have, so I am already training my three sons, and when they reach adulthood, they will come to the army to earn military merits." ”

Yuan Yun's face was still full of confusion, and he really couldn't figure out what these people thought, so he continued to ask: "In case your children are all killed in battle, who will guard the family business?" ”

Tie Laosan hurriedly said: "That's why I'm in a hurry, but as long as I have children, the powerful children will let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and the weaker ones will stay at home, so that the family can naturally grow ......"

"Tie Laosan, you know a fart, Dashuai has always thought about our lives too preciously, in fact, Dashuai is really not like this, we rough men will command wars and kill, if a life can be exchanged for a family and be respected in Luoyang, this life is really nothing."

"Yes, yes, don't take our lives too seriously, you are good at everything, but you are not willing to let the brothers go into battle to kill, so our military merits are really a little less, I heard that the brothers who went to Xiliang to fight before can cut off seven or eight heads in a battle, and the leadership of the army is soft, so it is really envious of others."

"Yes, I've also heard of it, in fact, it's best to kill at close range, our armor is all treasure armor, the enemy can't kill Lao Tzu with a knife, Lao Tzu wants his life."

Looking at the group of people under the tent who were staring at the blood-red eyes and talking about killing people desperately, Yuan Yun only felt a chill down his spine, these people didn't seem to take their lives seriously at all, and they were talking as if others were sacrificing, this kind of bloodiness is really a unique characteristic of the Han Dynasty, and before it was poisoned too deeply by Confucianism, it is no wonder that the Chinese nation has always been the absolute leader of this continent.

After such a night, the entire lineup of the Gunpowder Army suddenly became as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, and it was not until a rumor was known to Yuan Yun that he understood why these people suddenly changed their appearance, because some people had already begun to spread the rumor, saying that this time he Yuan Yun decided to let go and let the Gunpowder Army rush to kill, not overprotective.
