Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't it just such a simple answer, how could it be so complicated? Could it be that the old man has no confidence in your own beloved apprentice?"

"No, the old man has a lot of confidence in this child Rengui."

Li Jing stroked his hand violently, and replied: "Okay, I promise you, I will let Rengui serve in your Guangnan Road army. But Guo boy, let's talk about it, the old man is just such a successor, do you really want it?" Take care of me. Swords and arrows have no eyes, you have to..."

"Don't worry, your apprentice is blessed with great fortune. I guarantee that nothing will happen. If there is any accident, you just ask me."

Guo Ye interrupted Li Jing's concerns and readily agreed.

It can be seen that after Li Jing took off his armor and the halo of the military god, he was inevitably unavoidable after all, and he was still a good teacher and father like a good man.

It shows Li Jing's Xue Rengui's love and favor.

After hearing Guo Ye's swearing assurance, Li Jing waved his hands and said cheerfully: "Okay, let Rengui stay with me in the mansion for a few more days, and the three-day army will start. I will let him come to your army barracks on Guangnan Road to report early in the morning."

"Okay, I'll put him in my personal guard camp for now."

Guo Ye secretly praised, yes, it was a coincidence, and by mistake, he unexpectedly recruited Xue Rengui, who was good at fighting, into his buddies' account.

Guo Ye thought maliciously, if Su Dingfang could go south with me to suppress the rebellion, tsk tsk, these two ruthless people would be under my command, then it would be perfect.

After setting Xue Rengui's whereabouts, Li Jing suddenly asked: "Could it be that you came to discuss with me today about how to formulate a route to counter the rebellion in the south?"

Guo Ye was reminded by Li Jing, and immediately nodded and said: "Hey, I almost forgot the business. Is this the matter? After going south, our two armies will always draw the battle line? So, I will I wonder if the two armies of you and I can coordinate and complement each other while drawing the front line? In this case, there can be a support, right? After all, the memorial of the old man Yu mentioned that the number of the Guangbailian cult's army of guardians As many as hundreds of thousands, even if it is a mob, the number is astonishing. There are too many ants killing elephants, and we have a total of [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. We can't be careless about this."

"Haha, you got the point, kid. Just now, when the old man and Rengui were deducing the sand table, they were arguing about this matter. Look at this sand table..."

Li Jing raised his hand and pointed to the sand table in front of him, and told Guo Ye in detail about the sand table deduction process he had just had with his apprentice Xue Rengui.

……

……

At this time, Pingyang County Government.

With her slightly protruding belly, Xiuxiu personally received Princess Wencheng's visit in a wing room in the inner courtyard of the female family members of the county mansion.

Accompanying Princess Wencheng was Xiuxiu's own sister, the head of Linyang County, Chai Hehe.

After the servants finished their refreshments and exited the room, Xiuxiu said softly, "I don't know that Her Highness the Princess is visiting today, but I am sorry that Xiuxiu is pregnant, so she is far away from welcoming her, and she can't greet her with all the ceremonies."

According to the etiquette system, Princess Wencheng is a thousand-year-old princess. When she visits the Pingyang County government, the Guo family must open the door wide, and then firecrackers will be fired, and the whole house will welcome her.

However, because Guo Ye happened not to be in the mansion, and Xiuxiu, who was in charge of Guo's mansion, was pregnant, all these red tapes were canceled for Princess Wencheng.

On the contrary, she very low-key asked the servant girl of the Guo Mansion to lead her, together with Chai Hehe, to the inner courtyard of the women's family to meet Xiuxiu.

Princess Wencheng took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "Princess Pingyang is too polite. According to the clan, you and I are still cousins. Those annoying etiquettes can be avoided."

Xiuxiu hummed with a smile before asking about Princess Wencheng's visit.

Princess Wencheng said: "I heard that Princess Pingyang is pregnant, so I remembered that I have dealt with my esteemed husband, Duke Pingyang many times, and I have a close relationship with my sister, the young princess Linyang, but I have never met her again. I haven't seen you, Princess Pingyang. That's why I came up with the idea of ​​visiting you today."

"what?"

Xiuxiu was startled for a moment, obviously stunned by Princess Wencheng's intention to come, she thought it was something, it turned out to be for this reason.

Just as she was about to say something politely, she was interrupted by her younger sister, Chai Hehe, who had been clinging to her all the time: "It's really tiring for you to talk all the time, and so are you, Sister Wencheng, so why do you have to be like this with my eldest sister?" polite?"

Xiuxiu can tell that Princess Wencheng and her naughty little sister have come here today for another purpose.

And Princess Wencheng couldn't hold back when Chai Hehe said this, and froze there with embarrassment.

Chai Hehe didn't care about this, but asked Xiang Xiuxiu directly: "Sister, I heard that brother-in-law will go to the south to fight the rebellion in three days' time?"

Xiuxiu frowned slightly, looking at Chai Hehe in confusion.

Seeing that Xiuxiu didn't respond, Chai Hehe urged again: "Sister, is there such a thing?"

Xiuxiu glanced at Princess Wencheng who was sitting opposite her, then she turned her gaze to Chai Hehe, and asked in a daze, "Why are you asking this? Your brother-in-law was ordered to go south to suppress the rebellion, and this is nothing in Chang'an City." Secret, what else do you not believe?"

"No, no, no." Chai Hehe shook his head like a rattle, jumped up excitedly from the chair, came to Xiuxiu's side, hugged her arm and begged, "Sister, We have something to ask you, you must agree, brother-in-law listens to you the most."

"us?"

Xiuxiu once again turned her suspicious gaze away from Chai Hehe, and fixed on Princess Wencheng who was sitting opposite her.

Chapter 1038

It was not until dusk and dusk that Li Jing and Guo Ye finished talking about the matter.As the master, Li Jing naturally enthusiastically asked Guo Ye to stay and have dinner together, but Guo Ye was repeatedly declined, and then hurriedly left the Duke of Wei's mansion.

From Guo Ye's point of view, he will soon go south to suppress the rebellion, and he will leave soon. Naturally, it is reasonable to eat more around the table with his wife, daughter and children.

And he knew very well that if Xiuxiu hadn't been pregnant, the old lady would not have let him leave Chang'an to kill the enemy and put down the rebellion in the south.

Thinking of this, I feel a little rejoiced, it seems that the child in Xiuxiu's womb came in time, and it is most likely that he will take care of his father like this.

When he returned to the county mansion, the concierge reported the noon visit of the little county lord of Linyang and Princess Wencheng.Unfortunately, just half an hour ago, Princess Wencheng and the girl Chai Hehe both left.

As for what they talked about with Xiuxiu, the concierge didn't know.

Guo Ye pondered, most likely it was the trivial matters of women's family.So I didn't care about it in my heart, and went straight to the dining room.

At this time, in the dining room, the old lady, Xiuxiu, Zhiru, and Zhenniang who was holding little Guo Xiang were all sitting around talking and laughing, mixed with little Guo Xiang's inarticulate words from time to time. Sobbing, but also happy.

The whole family is waiting for him to come back for dinner.

As soon as Guo Ye entered the dining room and sat down, the old matriarch gave an order, and the maids and mothers began to start one after another. Those who served the food, those who scooped the soup, and those who served the rice, all of a sudden, the bowls and chopsticks were flying, and the soup spoons were jingling. endlessly.

After the meal, the maids brought out seasonal melons and fruits, and after about an hour, the tables were dispersed.

Guo Ye bid farewell to the old lady because he still had work to do, and went back to the study first.

It wasn't until the clapper sounded several times that Guo Ye involuntarily yawned, got up and stretched himself, and realized that it was already the third watch outside.

Feeling sleepy, Guo Ye left the study, and under the bright moonlight, walked along the corridor outside the study to the courtyard where Xiuxiu was.

With the imminent departure and Xiuxiu's pregnancy, she is the No. [-] hero of the Guo family in the eyes of the old matriarch, so Guo Ye naturally has to spend the night in Xiuxiu's house due to reason and reason.

When he came outside Xiuxiu's house, Guo Ye saw through the window that the candles were shining brightly inside the house, and there was the sound of manually turning the pages of books from time to time, it seems that his wife was still reading a book before sleeping.

With a creak, Guo Ye pushed the door open and entered.

Just seeing Xiuxiu wearing a coat leaning against the head of the bed, she seemed to be flipping a book in her hand.

Xiuxiu saw Guo Ye came in and was about to get up to serve her, but Guo Ye hurried forward and stopped her: "Don't make trouble, you are pregnant, don't move around, just lie down."

Xiuxiu snorted, and put the book in her hand directly on a low cabinet with candlesticks beside the bed. Guo Ye glanced at the book casually, and it seemed that it was written by Qing Youji, a famous female writer in Chang'an. Hand, the title of the book is so familiar - "Sister, Sister, Stand Up!" "
