Zhao Wen read the contents of the letter at a glance, and then laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, I didn't expect to be pregnant again, I didn't expect it. The previous efforts were all worthwhile, all were worthwhile, and they were all pregnant It’s been a month, haha, I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it.”

Before Zhao Wen left, he slept in Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu's room almost every night.

Zhao Wen originally estimated that with his physical fitness and his own efforts, Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu should be able to conceive again.

But since entering Henan, I haven't heard the news.

On the way to attack the Yellow River defense line, Zhao Wen was looking forward to this news most.

Unexpectedly, it was finally expected by Zhao Wen.

"I didn't expect it to be a month. I didn't set off a month ago. But which time did I win? Was it that time?" Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes and thought about it with a smile on his face.

Chinese people have a great characteristic, that is, they want to have more children as long as all their own problems are solved.

This belief is deeply rooted even in later generations.

Although many people in later generations did not have a second child, it is not that they do not want to have a child, but that they have not solved all their problems.

If those people in later generations didn't have all kinds of troubles, they would definitely have more children.

Although the current Zhao Wen has not unified the world, but the unification of the world is already a certainty.

Today's Zhao Wen doesn't worry about food and clothing, nor about his future. Of course, he hopes to have more children.

For Zhao Wen, giving birth to one is also giving birth, and giving birth to ten is also giving birth.Even if he gave birth to a hundred, Zhao Wen could still afford them.

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord!" Li Xiaosan congratulated Zhao Wen excitedly.

To some extent, the more sons Zhao Wen had, the more at ease his subordinates would feel.

In this frightening age with high infant mortality rate, one more son means more security.

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Wen kept circling in the big tent holding the letter.

Although Zhao Wen already had a son and daughter, when he knew that he had another child, he was still too excited to be himself.

"Okay, okay, okay. Little San, take them down to rest, and at the same time give them a credit." Zhao Wenyi pointed to the soldiers who delivered the letter in the big tent, and then sat down again with the letter.

Li Xiaosan cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then led the soldiers down.

Zhao Wen sat on a chair, leaning on the candle on the table and read the content of the letter over and over again, the smile on his face never disappeared from the beginning to the end.

After a while, Li Xiaosan returned to the big tent, and he walked to Zhao Wen's side, "My lord, the arrangements have been made."

"My lord, if the two wives give birth to sons this time, then there will be three sons. Three sons may seem like a lot, but for my lord, it's still not enough." Li Xiaosan said cautiously.

Zhao Wen put down the letter in his hand, looked at Li Xiaosan, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, it actually came to my head. Then how many children do you think should be born?"

"My mother once said that more sons are more blessed, and the more sons the better. The foundation you will build in the future will definitely be bigger than any dynasty in history. Therefore, the more sons you have, the better. A prince, guard this immortal foundation for your lord." Seeing that Zhao Wen didn't blame himself, Li Xiaosan spoke up boldly.

"Feng Wang?" Zhao Wen was slightly taken aback when he heard this. "The matter of conferring the king is a bit far away, and it is useless to say these things now."

In ancient times, it was almost a normal thing for the emperor's son to become king.

Especially Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took the matter of becoming a king to the extreme.

When Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, the country had not yet been completely settled down. In order to maintain the rule of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang made his son king, and he was still the kind of real power prince.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a farmer and suffered a lot, so he wanted his sons to live better.

In the early days of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, conferring kings played a significant role in the stability of the country, but as the country stabilized, these princes became unstable factors.

Although Emperor Chengzu confiscated all the rights of the prince after the battle of Jing Nan, and raised the prince as a pig, but even so, the hidden danger is not small.

In the local area, they embezzled local property and enslaved the local people.

In the imperial court, they eat the food and pay of the imperial court and do not serve the imperial court.

During the reign of Chongzhen, the population of the clan had swelled to a very exaggerated number. These clan populations only ate and did not work every year, and they had to eat a lot of state finances.

In the crisis at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the reason of the clan accounted for a considerable part.Zhao Wen doesn't want his descendants to be like these people, who only eat and don't work.

Zhao Wen saw these problems very clearly.

Therefore, the matter of conferring the king can only be cautious and cautious.

"Feng Wang!" Zhao Wen sighed, and kept thinking about various deeds of the princes of the Ming Dynasty in his mind.

"The matter of conferring the king is too long-term, and it is too early to talk about it now." Zhao Wen waved his hand and changed the topic, "Let's not talk about this, now there are only two lines of defense in the middle of the Yellow River. Judging from the incoming news, there are about three of them left.

It won't be long before the Yellow River defense line can be completely taken down.Song Hu also came to the news, saying that they have now arrived around Henan Mansion.

Our speed is very fast. Although this is a good thing, if the speed is too fast, the logistical pressure will increase.

The railway has only been repaired to Taiyuan Prefecture. From Taiyuan Prefecture to the Yellow River defense line, food is transported entirely by manpower.

Although a large amount of grain was hoarded near the Yellow River defense line before, according to previous news, Chongzhen intends to transport or destroy all the grain in Henan. In this way, our food pressure will increase again.

Therefore, I decided to escort all the soldiers we captured these days back, and drive these prisoners to deliver food for us.This matter is very important, and I will leave this matter to you. "

"My lord, why do you let these captives deliver food? What if these captives are disobedient?" Li Xiaosan looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

"Disobedience? That's up to them to have the courage to send people to stare at them to death while escorting food and grass. I don't believe that under the surveillance of our soldiers and horses, these captives dare to disobey Heart? If under such circumstances, they still have the heart of disobedience and want to destroy food and grass, then there is no need to say anything, just kill them directly." Zhao Wen said coldly.

Zhao Wen didn't have to worry about these captives being disobedient at all, even if they were disobedient, it didn't matter to Zhao Wen.

These soldiers and horses under Zhao Wen's command are not vegetarians, and they will definitely not let them destroy food.

"Don't think about it too much, since these prisoners were captured by us, they are all obedient like children, how can there be disobedience?

Even if they have the heart of disobedience, our soldiers and horses can make them hold back these petty thoughts. "Zhao Wen said indifferently.

"In that case, then listen to the adults." Li Xiaosan also felt that Zhao Wen's words made sense.

"Okay, you go down first, let's arrange this matter early tomorrow morning. After this matter is arranged, we will march to the next line of defense." Zhao Wen waved his hand at Li Xiaosan.

Li Xiaosan saluted Zhao Wen, and then walked out of the big tent.

When Li Xiaosan walked out, Zhao Wen picked up the letter on the table again, and began to think about Feng Wang in his mind.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Wen packed the letter in his hand and lay down on the bed.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Wen's camp was quiet, and there was no other sound except the voices of the operating soldiers.

Overnight, the sun rose from the horizon.

Smoke billowed from the camp, and Zhao Wen's soldiers gathered around the fire in twos and threes, looking at the iron pot on top of the fire.

What is steamed in the iron pan is canned food. Although canned food can be eaten cold, eating canned food cold in the early morning is not good for the stomach.

In the place where the captives were, there were also a large number of fire piles, and there were also iron pots on the fire piles.

But unlike the soldiers and horses under Zhao Wen's command, some thin meat porridge was cooked in the iron pot in the captive camp.

These people were all captives, and the transportation line was too long, so it was impossible for Zhao Wen to treat them like his soldiers and horses.

Although it was some thin meat porridge, for these captives, it was a rare delicacy in the world.

These captives were drawn up by Sun Yuanhua, and Sun Yuanhua was also very concerned about these captives, and he was willing to spend money.

However, being willing to spend money and having money to spend are two different things.

When Sun Chuanting was stationed in Henan, Chongzhen did not give him a penny of money, and everything was raised by Sun Chuanting.

Under such circumstances, Sun Chuanting had limited supplies, so the food provided to these captives was also very limited, which was enough to keep them full.

As for meat, Sun Chuanting didn't even dare to think about it.

When these soldiers were stationed on the Yellow River defense line, they rarely touched meat, so when they gathered around the fire and smelled the smell of meat, they all stared at the iron on the fire like old gluttons. pot.

"You people are really lucky. You met Mr. Chief Soldier. If you meet the car body and you still want to fill your stomach, it is simply a dream." A cooking soldier stood beside the iron pot, using the big iron spoon in the pot Stirring constantly, while stirring, while talking.

The captives around him stared intently at the iron pan under his hands, swallowing their saliva non-stop.

The prisoners almost turned a deaf ear to what the cooking soldier said, and didn't listen at all.

At this moment, their minds were all on the meat porridge in the pot.

"Gulu!" A prisoner took a bite of saliva, and the halazi flowed down the corner of his mouth.

He hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then said with a smile, "Master, is the food in Xuanzhen really so good? Since we were captured, we have eaten meat porridge almost every day. It’s like a dream, I really can’t imagine it.”

"Dreaming? Haha!" The cooking soldier stirred the thin meat porridge in the pot, and then covered the pot.

He looked at the prisoner, laughed a few times, and then said: "I tell you, in our Xuan Town, almost everyone can eat meat, as long as they want, they can eat meat every time.

Don't look at the lean meat porridge you are eating now, let me tell you, compared with our soldiers, the commander-in-chief, what you eat is better than pig food.

Don't blame me for looking down on you, that's the truth.Those of us eat canned beef, pork, and mutton, as well as noodles and rice. As long as we want, we can eat beef, pork, and mutton as a meal.

You don't know what canning is, do you?Let me tell you, canned food is an iron box, which contains all kinds of meat, which can be eaten cold or heated.

There is a layer of oil floating inside the can, and the salt inside is still very sufficient.The meat inside is even more fragrant. I don’t know how to say it. When I ate this canned food for the first time, I almost didn’t swallow my tongue. "

The cooking soldier held an iron ladle in one hand and kept waving it with the other, dancing and yelling excitedly at the captured soldiers.

The prisoners looked at the cooking soldier with longing on their faces.

"Hey, I can eat meat as a meal. I've never seen such a thing when I grow up." A prisoner listened to the voice of the cooking soldier and murmured in shock.

"Hehe, let's see how promising you are." The cooking soldier looked at these people and cursed a few times angrily.

After the cooking soldier finished speaking, he lifted the lid of the iron pot and stirred it with a big iron spoon.

After a while, the cooking soldiers looked at the prisoners, "Okay, you can eat. Take the bowls and chopsticks given to you earlier, line up and prepare to cook.

Let me tell you, whoever dares to jump in line, whoever dares to rob, will be rewarded with fifty army sticks as before. "

As soon as the cooking soldier's voice fell, the prisoners hurriedly took the large coarse porcelain bowls issued to them earlier, and lined up to eat.

When they finished their meal, they squatted on the ground and devoured it hungrily.

It didn't take long for them to eat all the porridge in the bowl.

Some captives even licked up the large coarse porcelain bowls in their hands.

When they finished eating, Li Xiaosan led a group of people to the camp of prisoners.

Li Xiaosan came here to deal with the matter that Zhao Wen entrusted to them.

There were about 300 people led by Li Xiaosan, and he led them to stop at the exit of the captive camp.

"It's all good, repeat what I told you to these prisoners, and after the repetition, you people will take these prisoners and drive towards Taiyuan.

After sending them to Taiyuan, you should hurry back.Remember, this is something that the commander-in-chief personally explained, and it must be done well. If anyone wants to cheat, don't blame me for being rude. "

Li Xiaosan looked at the soldiers standing in front of him and shouted loudly.

Zhao Wen did not capture many people, less than 3000. After all, more than 3 people were distributed on the Yellow River defense line, and what Zhao Wen attacked was only the middle of the Yellow River defense line.

"Understood!" These soldiers shouted at Li Xiaosan.

Li Xiaosan nodded, and then led the soldiers into the captive camp.

When the time came to noon, the soldiers arranged by Li Xiaosan led the prisoners in Zhao Wen's army towards Taiyuan.

Except for Zhao Wen, Li Xiaosan sent some messengers to the east and west to convey Zhao Wen's orders.

Early the next morning, Zhao Wen set off again towards the remaining Yellow River defense line.

At this time, Sun Chuanting led the rout and part of the Yellow River defense line to Qinyang.

Sun Chuanting stood on the top of Qinyang City, looked out of the city, and frowned tightly.

The cavalry led by Song Hu did not attack Qinyang, but detoured from Qinyang and approached Luoyang where the Henan government was located.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting was able to lead these troops into Qinyang.

Sun Chuanting could only enter Qinyang, because their retreat had been cut off by Song Hu, and even if they wanted to retreat to Luoyang, it was impossible.

"I, my, my [-] troops were swallowed up by that group of soldiers and horses!" Sun Chuanting said with a trembling voice.

If the [-] troops are still there, then Sun Chuanting will definitely meet this army when he retreats from the Yellow River defense line.

However, since Sun Chuanting retreated until now, he has not met a single person.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting also saw the battlefield where the battle took place on the way.

Although the battlefield was cleaned by Song Hu and his troops, there were still some armor banners scattered inside that had not been cleaned.
