People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 4 Civil and Military Team
"Mum, I know my mistake..." Li Yao knelt down in front of a woman at this moment, and said with a cute face.

Passed the level of my father, and the level of my mother.

No matter ancient or modern, reasoning with women is the least efficient way.

Therefore, facing his mother, Li Yao only needs to admit his mistake.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yan saw Li Yao admitting his mistake, the chill on Zhao Yan's face quickly melted away.

Looking at Li Yao, who was only a head lower than her, and full of heroic spirit, Zhao Yan was both proud and helpless in her heart. She reached out her hand to caress his cheek, and reprimanded sadly:

"My son, you only want to read and write, and don't learn any other classics. Nine out of ten of the gentlemen I asked your uncle to hire will run away in anger. How can they succeed in the long run!"

Hearing these words, Li Yao was silent for a moment, and finally decided not to be so perfunctory, so he confided part of his heart:

"Grandmother, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, especially in Jincheng. It's not even as good as a big county in the Central Plains, with a filial piety every three years. Even the two cousins ​​of my uncle's family may not be able to win, let alone me..."

When Li Yao stopped being perfunctory, his eyes were extremely firm, he looked at Zhao Yan and said proudly:

"Huangzhong Erlang, bow horse is the foundation, and Ah Yan and Ah Lin will be my help in the future. I will not embarrass my father, nor will I embarrass my mother!"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

And Li Yao still looked at Zhao Yan firmly, he has grown up now, his body has become stronger, he must have greater autonomy, he can no longer play truant to cultivate his confidants, how can he become a big deal if he continues to sneak around.

Li Yao is very lucky, he is the eldest son, all he needs to show is his ambition and ambition, and that is enough.

"My son has grown up..." Zhao Yan's voice was full of disappointment, and then she hugged Li Yao into her arms:
"I don't like your father's style of martial arts, who risk his life for his future, so I want to let you return to the right path in studying, but you still choose this path. Since I can't dissuade you, I can only support you. Don't worry about other things. The family will be your biggest support."

Li Yao closed his eyes, feeling very warm in his heart:
"Thank you, Mom."

In fact, Li Yao understood that his mother was the daughter of the Zhao family in Linqiang City, and the education she received was to change her destiny through reading.

But this path is difficult to get through.

As for the Zhao family, it is not a local family in Liangzhou, but exiled to the land of Hehuang.

However, a family is a family, and as a rare cultural person in the border county, he quickly found a job in the county.

Then, through marriage, they are thoroughly integrated into the local area, so as to continuously expand their influence.

The combination of his father and mother came from this marriage.

However, Zhao Yan's position as the main wife is not only because of her birth in the Zhao family, but her own ability is also an important reason.

Because Li Wenhou was leading the army all the year round, Zhao Yan was in charge of being the master of the house, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of people in the entire Wubao could be arranged in an orderly manner.

Regardless of the Li family members or the tribe, even the farmers and herdsmen... all respect her very much.

Probably because of this reason, Zhao Yan's vision is limited in this Wubao, and she has no way to see the current and future political structure of the Han Dynasty clearly. It is impossible to really get ahead by reading books!
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and then someone said respectfully:

"Mistress, the two young masters are here, so wait outside."

"Understood, step back." Zhao Yan let go of her hand after speaking, looked at Li Yao and joked:
"Your help is here... Although they are not my own, but I watched them grow up, don't let them down."

The corners of Li Yao's mouth were raised, his eyes were full of smiles, he got up slowly, and said confidently:
"Mother, I know, they are all my brothers!"

Immediately, Li Yao turned around and strode away, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart:
"Now I am 12 years old, and my mother is 27 years old. My father is really a beast. How could I do it at that time..."

Although I complain in my heart, I can understand it. After all, the Han Dynasty can call itself old at the age of 30.

The average life expectancy is pitifully low, the sorrow of the times.

Walking outside the house, the two maids saw Li Yao, and immediately bowed down and said respectfully:
"Master!"

Seeing this, Li Yao waved his hands, signaling them not to be too polite, and then his eyes swept around, and soon found two slightly reserved figures at the end of the corridor.

At this time, the smile on Li Yao's face became more sincere.

"Ayan, Alin..." Li Yao quickly walked over.

"Brother!" Seeing Li Yao, both of them were very happy, they cheered and ran over immediately.

Li Yao opened his arms generously, hugging his two brothers from left to right.

"Brother, are you okay?" After Li Lin finished speaking, he asked a little nervously:

"Father calmed down?"

Hearing this, Li Yan also became nervous instantly.

Li Yao looked at the anxious and nervous expressions on the faces of the two, hooked their shoulders and smiled and comforted them:
"It's more than just calming down. I won't be in charge of us in the future."

"Really?!" The two were in disbelief.

"Of course it's true!" Looking at the two people who were both excited and full of doubts, Li Yao hooked his shoulders and pulled them out together. At the same time, he publicized his great achievements, and of course made a little artistic processing:

"At that time, my father was very angry. He called us scumbags and messed around all day long... This was definitely unacceptable, so I stood in front of my father and started arguing directly, telling him not to underestimate us.

Seeing the eyes of the two younger brothers with wide eyes and expressions of admiration on their faces was quite beneficial to Li Yao.

Li Yan was born to a Qiang girl, and Li Lin was born to a Han girl. Although he and he are not of the same mother, the three of them grew up together. Li Yao even took care of his two younger brothers on purpose, so the relationship between the three is very deep.

Not long after, I went out of the house and found other children who came back, and told the story again.

Naturally, he gained another wave of admiration, and then Li Yao looked at them and said loudly:

"From now on, you will be my guards. Tomorrow, everyone must wear military uniforms, bring bows, and ride horses. Let's practice riding and shooting together!"

These excited children also responded loudly:

"only!"

At this moment, Li Yao could already imagine the scene of tomorrow, flying in the sky the big eagle given by his father, and leading a group of knights on horseback to hunt underground, how chic and joyful it is!
These children are all descendants of the trilogy in the clan. To put it another way, the father and brother of these children are full-time soldiers supported by the Li family. Compared with the low-status farmers and herdsmen...these children have small savings in their families, and they don’t lack good bows. They also don’t lack good horses.

And for Li Yao, these children are the future officer corps. It is difficult and extremely uneconomical to maintain a large number of troops at any time. Keeping the system until needed, and then using them as officers to recruit brave men to form an elite army is the mainstream way of fighting in this era.

Seeing such a scene, Li Yao thought in his heart:

"When will the two cousins ​​be fooled together again, the initial civil and military team will be formed!"
