Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Ye Xuan grew up in the Situ family and practiced martial arts with her family members.

Although I have seldom been exposed to military affairs, I come from a family of generals after all, and have been exposed to it since childhood. I have more or less some understanding of issues in this area!

In Ye Xuan's eyes, the current border situation is special and naturally needs special treatment.

If it weren't for the fact that it borders on barbarians, perhaps 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses would be considered a lot!

But now, after all, there is a big threat from the barbarians watching closely. If you are not careful, this vicious wolf will rush up and bite off a piece of flesh from your body!

Song Yuan is taking such drastic measures. If the barbarians launch a surprise attack, he will most likely face failure due to insufficient troops!

Therefore, Ye Xuan didn't bother to continue reading and spoke immediately, just hoping to give Song Yuan a reminder.

Song Yuan shook his head and smiled faintly, then gently reminded Ye Xuan, "You said don't be impatient, so why not continue reading!"

As he spoke, Song Yuan's arms exerted a little force and hugged Ye Xuan tighter!

However, Ye Xuan no longer cared about these things. She quickly shifted her gaze and looked at the plan again!

This time, Ye Xuan was more patient and finally read Song Yuan's plan from beginning to end. When she raised her head again, there was a hint of understanding in her eyes.

What he just saw was only a part of Song Yuan’s plan, but in fact, in addition to the 100,000 standing troops.

In Song Yuan’s plan, the entire army still has two other parts!

The 100,000 standing troops are only the core force. In Song Yuan’s plan, these people must cross Peacock and go to Sanbian City!

Become a fortress against the barbarians!

In addition, Song Yuan’s plan also includes garrisons in each city. According to Song Yuan’s plan, this part has about 80,000 people!

Among them, the most important Zhenbei Pass requires a garrison of 40,000 troops!

As for other cities, there are no more than 5,000 people.

There are many cities on the border, plus Zhenbei City, with a garrison of 10,000 soldiers, so each city does not have many troops, but they can rescue each other in a short time, which is enough!

The last part is the 80,000 field soldiers.

In Song Yuan’s plan, these people were divided into other cities except Zhenbei Pass!

As for the tasks of these field soldiers, they will be of utmost importance after the spring comes!

They must be responsible for farming as soon as possible. These things are the key to whether they can gain a firm foothold after Song Yuan is involved.

In order to meet this need, Song Yuan even changed his original plan!

Before, when General Wei was escorting grain and grass, most of the responsibilities were handed over to Tian Bing, but Song Yuan changed the norm and distributed this part of the responsibility to the defenders of each city!

If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, Tian Bing would never be withdrawn so easily.

As a result, the overall number of Zhenbei Army has not changed.

However, their respective responsibilities are clearly divided.

"I see. It seems you consider the start of spring a top priority. You can't easily mobilize the field soldiers. This is clearly to ensure spring plowing!"

"That's right!"

Seeing Ye Xuan point out the key point in one sentence, Song Yuan nodded and said frankly.

"For me, farming after the spring is absolutely the top priority. No matter how the war with the barbarians goes, even if I'm temporarily suppressed by them, I can accept it!"

"The only thing is that there must be no accidents during this spring plowing. Otherwise, if the imperial court cuts off our food supplies, the road ahead may not be easy!"

Although Song Yuan is now the governor, he is the only one who knows that this position is not easy to hold!

The ending of having to be both a father and a mother requires more worry!

Especially in the border area, Song Yuan has to pay more attention to details that others may not care about.

The biggest difference between the frontier and the interior is the time available for farming every year!

Due to the special climate, the farming period in the frontier is only four or five months!

In such a short time, combined with the extremely low temperature in the border areas, only one crop of food can be grown at most!

Compared to the interior of the country, food can be harvested twice, so the conditions are inherently disadvantageous!

Naturally, more attention needs to be paid!

"Actually, if you ask me, you've already done well enough in this regard. There's no need to push yourself too hard!"

After seeing Song Yuan's plan, Ye Xuan finally realized the pressure this man was under. She turned around with a bit of pity and gently held Song Yuan's face.

"Didn't you previously rescue so many cattle and sheep from the barbarians? With these livestock as help, Jinlian will surely be able to grow more food during her spring plowing!"

"You think the same as I do!"

Facing Ye Xuan's comfort, Song Yuan raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of pride: "If you ask me, we two are indeed worthy of being loved ones. Sometimes we really are in sync!"

"Bah, just a few words and you're like, 'I'm in tune with you?' If that's your logic, how many women have you been in tune with?"

Ye Xuan said coquettishly, and then asked in a somewhat tentative tone: "By the way, I came here today just to ask you a question. I'll tell you in advance that you can't be angry!"

"Hearing you say that, I'm a little curious. What exactly do you want to ask?"

Song Yuan said with a doubtful smile: "Why don't you tell me first, if I really get angry, then you can kiss me!"

"If one doesn't work, then two. I promise I won't be angry!"

"I'm telling you something serious!"

Ye Xuan patted Song Yuan's shoulder lightly in annoyance, then she calmed down, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally spoke in a low voice.

"I see... you and Jinlian have been together for such a long time, and Jinlian's stomach has not responded, so I am a little suspicious. Is there something wrong with one of you?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Yuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Noticing Song Yuan's expression, Ye Xuan quickly changed her words and said, "I'm just asking. It's up to you whether to answer or not. If you're not comfortable saying it..."

"You came to me last night just for this matter?" Song Yuan interrupted directly, with a somewhat amusing expression on his face.

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded!

Noticing the embarrassment on the other person's face, Song Yuan suddenly came to his senses and asked directly.

"Did you want to ask this yourself, or did someone ask you to ask it?"

Song Yuan was very good at predicting things. Hearing this, Ye Xuan's face suddenly became a little nervous. This time she was silent for a long time before responding softly with a bit of timidity.

"It was my mother who asked me and Jing'er tonight, and we both couldn't answer. Jing'er was shy, so in the end, this matter fell on me!"
