Ye Zelin had just returned to the tent after changing and washing when he heard Hua Fushu mumbling something. He casually asked her, "What are you talking about? Who are you talking to?"

Hua Fushu turned around and, beaming with joy, couldn't wait to share the good news with the man: "Your son."

Ye Zelin was stunned: "..."

Where did he get his son?

Hua Fushu couldn't help but raise three fingers in delight, the smile in his eyes no longer suppressed, and said happily: "It's been more than three months, I just found out."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zelin was stunned at first, then he walked over quickly, his eyes of disbelief fixed on Hua Fushu's flat belly, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

"You mean we, we have a child?! Is this true? Huh?"

Hua Fushu looked at the silly look of the man in front of her and couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course it's true!"

The next second, Hua Fushu felt her body lighten, and then Ye Zelin lifted her up into the air. In panic, she quickly hugged Ye Zelin's neck.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm having a baby! We're having a baby! I'm going to be a dad!"

Ye Zelin's excitement was beyond words.

Even the people in the surrounding tents heard his voice.

…

Ye Zelin decided to implement the plan ahead of schedule, and General Lu and others agreed to advance the plan.

They all knew that the war should not be dragged on any longer and must be ended as soon as possible. The first attack would weaken the momentum, the second would weaken the momentum, and the third would be the end.

The war has lasted too long, and the situation at Yumen Pass is not optimistic either.

General Lu patted Ye Zelin on the shoulder and teased, "You're bringing your plans forward, kid. Is your wife pregnant? We all heard it last night!"

Ye Zelin admitted frankly, "Yes, but not entirely."

General Lu smiled and said, "Our Ye Family Army is going to have a new general."

Ten days later, in the Western Xia military camp, Yelining Lingge received a battle report from Yumen Pass. The report said that Mi Qindong Jin was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. The army was attacked by the Song army and suffered heavy losses. The morale of the army began to weaken. He was asked to immediately send 5,000 elite soldiers to Yumen Pass for reinforcement.

Yelining's brother immediately ordered his deputy general to lead 5,000 soldiers to reinforce Yumen Pass. The deputy general took the order and counted 5,000 soldiers and set off for Yumen Pass.

The deputy general led the army to Yumen Pass as quickly as possible.

There is a certain distance from Jiayuguan to Yumenguan. Even if marching at the fastest speed, it will take a day and a night. In order to save time, the deputy general chose to take a shortcut, and the nearest road requires passing through Leigong Gorge.

Leigong Gorge is a strategically located gorge, flanked by towering peaks. With only one entrance and one exit, it was ideal for an ambush. When the Western Xia troops entered Leigong Gorge, they were intercepted by General Lu's army and completely annihilated, allowing General Lu to return with a resounding victory.

That night, Mu Qing, Nan Xing and others sneaked into the Western Xia military camp and assassinated Ye Lining's brother. At the same time, Ye Zelin, General Lu and various deputy generals and captains each led a group of people to raid the Western Xia military camp from six directions.

That night, flames shot up into the sky.

That night, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted.

That night, the sound of fighting resounded through the sky.

In this battle, the Ye family army emerged victorious, with Yelining's brother killed. Only a few lieutenants fled with some of the Western Xia army. General Lu led a detachment in pursuit, chasing the Western Xia army all the way to Sakzhou before returning to Jiayuguan.

After a day of rest, before the victory report was delivered to Yumen Pass, Ye Zelin led a thousand cavalrymen to Yumen Pass, and General Lu led the army to guard Jiayu Pass.

The news that the Song army defeated the Western Xia army at Jiayuguan was simultaneously transmitted to the Ye family army at Yumenguan and the Western Xia military camp.

At Yumen Pass, in the Ye family military camp, Ye Shiheng summoned all the generals to discuss matters, intending to take advantage of the high morale to repel the Eastern Jin army in one fell swoop.

It took a full hour for the general to come out of the central military tent.

In the evening of the next day, Ye Zelin led a group of light cavalry to Yumen Pass, and Hua Fushu and his group also arrived at the same time.

Ye Zelin ordered two soldiers to take Yu Chisu, Mu Qing and others to settle down, while he took Hua Fushu to the central military camp.

A sand table was set up in the tent, and Ye Shiheng was analyzing and deducing the battlefield situation in front of the sand table.

Ye Zelin didn't let the guard pass on the message and went straight into the tent.

"father."

"Daddy."

Ye Shiheng looked up, his gaze landing on Ye Zelin, then shifting from Ye Zelin to Hua Fushu. He studied Hua Fushu for a moment. Someone had already told him about Hua Fushu's visit to the border. "Hua'er, the conditions at the border are tough. How come you've gained so much weight? Although you're a little tanned, you look pretty good."

Hua Fushu: “…” Daddy, are you praising me?

"How can you tell that I'm fat?" She is not fat at all now, and has even lost a few pounds.

But now, for the sake of her children, she eats a lot and tries hard to gain weight. A girl cannot be called fat.

"Dad, Fushu is pregnant, and you will be a grandfather again." Ye Zelin announced the good news.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiheng was delighted. He was finally going to have a grandson. The Ye family would have a successor. He already had a granddaughter, and having another grandson would make the family even more complete.

He waited for several years before he finally received the good news from the couple.

Ye Shiheng glanced at Ye Zelin. They were both young and strong, so why would it take them several years to raise a child?

Fortunately, it’s not too late.

"very nice."

Ye Shiheng's face was filled with smiles. "Wei Jie'er's name was given by your grandfather. Let Daddy choose the name of your child. Daddy likes the child no matter if it's a boy or a girl. Let's call him Tingman."

Hua Fushu said, "Dad, you will get what you want."

A glimmer of hope flashed across Ye Shiheng's eyes, "Really?"

"Really, it's Ye Tingman that you've been thinking about." Hua Fushu promised.

Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu's still-unclear belly and asked suspiciously, "It's only two or three days away from four months, and you've already gotten it?"

Hua Fushu raised his eyebrows and said, "I won't tell you."

In September, clothes are given out, and in October, rice is harvested.

Winter was approaching, and the western border was bitterly cold, with ice covering thousands of miles and sandstorms swirling across the sky. This harsh environment was not suitable for warfare. Moreover, the war had already lasted for half a year since late spring. A protracted war would not only be costly but also extremely detrimental to military morale.

Ye Shiheng glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice, "We must end this war within a month!"

Only by ending the war as soon as possible can the people of the Western Territory live and work in peace and recuperate.

At this moment, a soldier rushed into the tent, not caring whether to be rude or not, and panted, "General, Mo Zangyun led his troops to attack Wulitun. They bloodbathed several villages and almost slaughtered all the people. General Liang Shi is leading his men in a fierce battle with Mo Zangyun!"

All the generals were stunned with shock and looked at each other in bewilderment!

Massacre of the village? Killing innocent people?

The Ye family army fought with the Western Xia for decades, and there was a clear rule between the two countries that no one should massacre people on the border for any reason.
