In June of the fifth year of Jian'an, after Xin'er and Cai Yan gave birth to two sons for Ye Zhao one after another, Liu Wei and Ren Hongchang added two daughters to Ye Zhao. At this point, Ye Zhao had four sons and two daughters, and the Ye family gradually began to flourish.

The third son Ye Zhe, the fourth son Ye Kai, the eldest daughter Ye Ning, the second daughter Ye Shu, the entire Taiwei's mansion seemed to be much more lively. Cai Yi teased his four younger siblings all day long, and even his studies were abandoned.

Ye Zhao was in a good mood these days, and the war in Hetao came to an end. Although he had come to report the Xianbei people before, he only went around in Wuyuan Village. The tragic situation of the Southern Xiongnu obviously scared the Xianbei people. There was no need to obviously not fight with Ye Zhao again, even though there are not too many troops in Hetao now.

Although Xiliang has not been taken yet, it is just a lack of opportunity now. Ye Zhao's current gaze has begun to prepare for the Central Plains.

"Western Liang is not in a hurry, but although this Bingzhou is barren, it is bounded by the Taihang Mountains. If our army can seize Bingzhou, it will be a strategic place for future troops. Therefore, I think that no matter who wins and loses in the three sides of Yuan, Cao, and Liu, our army should have occupied Bingzhou before and use it as the boundary!" In the Taiwei's mansion, Xi Zhicai drew a boundary for Ye Zhao on the map.

When the soldiers came out of Guanzhong, Xi Zhicai once discussed the general trend of the world.

With the Taihang Mountains as the boundary, there are almost a plain to the east, and to the west, there are many mountains and rivers. They will seize Bingzhou and occupy Sili, Nanyang and even Jingzhou. If the Central Plains are unified at that time, they will be divided into east and west with the overlord of the Central Plains. If the Central Plains have not been unified yet, Ye Zhao can develop with peace of mind, observe success or failure, and wait until the princes of the Central Plains are almost fought, and then send troops to finish.

Now Ye Zhao has occupied Guanzhong and Yizhou, and Xiliang can be transferred at any time, and the north and south are connected. The general situation has been established. Although the focus is on rest and recuperation, since he has already taken over Hetao, he just took over the time when Yuan Shao was dealing with Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

First, Yuan Shao is now a little busy because of the defeat in Hejian and is unable to take care of Bingzhou. Second, occupying Bingzhou at this time can also narrow Liu Bei's future development space. As long as he seals Yanmen here, Liu Bei can only detour the Yunzhong area in addition to attacking Yanmen. Although Youzhou does not lack cavalry, from wanting to detour to Yunzhong, not only has to go beyond the Xianbei people's territory, but also the distance from detour alone is a thousand miles away. Just this trip can emptiate Liu Bei's family. If Liu Bei wants to develop, he can only go south, forcing Liu Bei to fight Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he has to be guarded against Ye Zhao.

Although this means to stand up with a strong position, Ye Zhao is in a dangerous position, and can attack and defend with advancement. Whether Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Yuan Shao, they can only fall into a passive situation. In this way, as long as Ye Zhao consolidates his foundation, he can use all troops in the Kanto region.

"This time, I have helped Liu Bei." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "But it is unknown whether he can beat Cao Cao. Zhicai thought that when would it be better to send troops?"

"After winter, you can send troops. The lord can order Xu Rong to lead Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Liao to Bingzhou from Yun, and at the same time send another army. Taking advantage of the time when Yuan Shao's troops in Bingzhou resisted Xu Rong's army, they sent troops from Hedong, passed through Lishi Fortress, and attacked Jinyang directly, and then Bingzhou could be brought down." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"I heard that the high-ranking general of Bingzhou is also quite talented, so I just took this opportunity to see the heroes of Hebei." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled.

"But now our army is almost always on Xu Rong's side. Have you transferred a few lords for the lord to be allocated?" Li Ru, who was standing beside him, suddenly said.

"No need." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "With Dian Wei on the side, Fang Yue is responsible for guarding Guanzhong, Ding Li goes out with the army, and the Wei Yan who was surprised to attack Chang'an last time with Yun Chang, I think it's pretty good, just attracting him to listen."

The plan has been decided, and the entire Taiwei Mansion began to become busy. Although it was winter, it was different from the last time to fight the Huns. The Hetao land was fertile and the hills were low, so there was no need for too many tactics. However, this time the attack on Bingzhou, Bingzhou was different from Hetao, and the people lived in Han people. The supply of soldiers and horses could not be killed all the way like in Hetao, so the supply was also available. Secondly, the dispatch of soldiers and horses was bright and dark. Xu Rong was fine, but since it was going to be dark here, Bingzhou could not be noticed. Therefore, how to secretly send troops and horses across the river, and food, grass and supplies must also be sent from here. There are many problems. Although it is still several months before the beginning of winter, these things have to be done and the time is still tight.

Of course, for Ye Zhao, he naturally doesn’t need to do these things personally, otherwise what’s the use of him supporting these many people?

In the next few months, Ye Zhao spent most of his time with his wife and children. When he was intrigued, he would take his wife and children out for an outing. However, most of the time, he stayed in the city. After all, the four girls had just given birth, and even Ren Hongchang, the strongest, had a little weak body.

Chang'an Academy now has many students. After more than a year of arrangement, the set of Shuzhong has been completely implemented in Guanzhong. And with Ye Zhao's momentum growing, especially after this Hetao victory, some scholars who were not very famous in Xiliang, Guanzhong and even Guandong came to study.

For these scholars who have achieved success in their studies, studying is still the second. The influence of the Guanzhong New Deal has now spread in Kanto, and the books sold by Li Ru to Kanto have gradually played a role. Scholars have also begun to split their attitude towards Ye Zhao. The top families naturally absolutely reject Ye Zhao's new Deal.

But for those who were born like Ye Zhao and on the edge of aristocratic families, although Ye Zhao’s new policy damages the overall rights of the scholar class, even within the circle of scholars, the distribution of rights and privileges is pyramid structure and is not uniform.

If the top family powers like the Xun family are 100, then many of the children of the lower class may not be able to do even one.

The uneven distribution of power also makes the degree of rejection of the new policy different. For many lower-level families, it is easier to get ahead if they invest in Ye Zhao's side.

Ye Zhao was naturally happy to see this. The division began to occur within the aristocratic family, which also means that the things he had been planning in the Zhongping period and now that after more than ten years, it has begun to gradually bear fruit. This is just the beginning. When he defeated Bingzhou, Xiliang, and Jingzhou and moved the capital to Sili, it was the time when those foreshadowings really began to explode. That was the real innovation. Now, although the effect has begun to appear, for Ye Zhao, he is still in the stage of accumulating power. Once the accumulation of power is completed, the world will be changed.

"Husband, how long will it take to go to send troops this time?" After the autumn, Ye Zhao could clearly feel that after his body gradually recovered, these women became particularly obsessed with him. Although it was common for Ye Zhao to send troops to fight, for Ye Zhao's women, the pain of separation was obviously not good. After the intense entanglement, Liu Wei lay lazily in Ye Zhao's arms and looked at Ye Zhao foolishly.

People say that after becoming a husband and wife, no matter how strong the relationship is, they will gradually get tired of it. However, this kind of thing seems wrong with Ye Zhao. Perhaps it is because they often separate. They are always not tired of taking care of their four beautiful wives and concubines. Even though they have been with Liu Wei for more than ten years and even longer with Xin'er, Ye Zhao can always feel something that cannot be felt outside when he is with them.

"If you are quick, you should be able to come back at this time next year." Ye Zhao smiled after thinking for a moment.

The terrain of Bingzhou is complex. Although the countless branches divided by the three major mountains of Zhongtiao Mountain, Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain are not as steep as Shuzhong, looking at the world, Bingzhou is probably second only to Shuzhong. In such a place, aside from war, it takes a lot of time to march alone, and it will be managed after the battle is over. Ye Zhao estimated that if it goes well, it should be possible to train next autumn, but if it doesn’t go well or something happens, it is not certain. It is difficult to give an accurate time for war.

Liu Wei didn't ask again, but just leaned back hard, as if she wanted to integrate her body into Ye Zhao's body. Ye Zhao could feel the faint reluctance and attachment, but she didn't say anything.

In the world of men, sometimes it is really not suitable for women to interfere. Liu Wei knows this, so she did not do anything nonsense. She just hopes to accompany Ye Zhao well during this period.

Time, for the four women, was like sand between their fingers, and they wanted to hold on, but couldn't hold on any matter.

This time, Ye Zhao sent troops, in addition to Wei Yan, Ding Li, and Dian Wei, he also brought Ye Zheng with him. As the eldest son, although Ye Zheng, who had just reached the age of eleven, was still very young, but he had learned the knowledge in the academy over the years. Of course, at the age of eleven, it was a scam to read a lot of books. Although Ye Zheng had good qualifications, he was not the kind of monster-level genius who could never forget in the legend. There were too many knowledge in the world and could not finish it in his life.

Although it was a bit early for Ye Zheng to go to Bingzhou this time, many eleven or twelve-year-old boys were dragged to the battlefield in this era, such as Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Xiliang, where population orders were often invaded by foreign enemies. Children of this age can often be seen in the army. Ye Zhao did not let Ye Zheng go to war, but wanted Ye Zheng to see the cruelty of this battlefield. As the object of Ye Zhao's efforts to train, Ye Zhao had high high hopes for Ye Zheng. This time, he wanted him to experience the real battlefield.
