Chapter 515: The western suburbs of Chang'an, the north bank of the Wei River, and the Xiliuyuan.

On the huge school ground, the left and right guards were conducting battle drills.

Dust was flying, drums were resounding throughout the sky, and tens of thousands of people were lined up in the east and west, led by General Guo Xiaoke, the left guard and General Guo Xiaojie, the right guard.

Guo Xiaoke was born in the Wagang Army and acted resolutely, brave and scheming. When Li Shimin fought against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the east, he followed his strategy of "staying firmly in Hulao, the army approached the waters and adapting to the situation" that he achieved the great victory in Hulao Pass.

However, Li Shimin failed to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Guo Xiaoke, a member of the Shandong Heroes Group, was also implicated and was transferred by Li Yuan to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou. This lasted for nine years, and he was not recalled to the court until last year.

When receiving the order, Guo Xiaoke danced and cried with joy.

You should know that although Jiangzhou has beautiful mountains and rivers and comfortable climate, it is not a place like Guo Xiaoke who is unwilling to waste his time.

I missed two consecutive wars of destruction and the Jiangnan was peaceful. Guo Xiaoke only felt that if he had been idle for a few more years, he would probably be ruined.

Therefore, he cherished this opportunity to perform.

In order to avoid casualties, all the soldiers participating in the military exercise were dressed in full, with only their eyes exposed from head to toe, and all the things they held in their hands were bamboo knives and wooden sticks. Therefore, maintaining the military formation became the standard for victory or defeat.

Facing Wei Xiaojie, a veteran of the Sui and Tang dynasties and experienced in the battlefield, Guo Xiaoke used his unique skills at the beginning, personally led the heavy cavalry to attack, and ordered the light cavalry to fight and cooperate with the heavy cavalry to fight. Wei Xiaojie and his soldiers imitated the tactics of the Western Turks. The two sides "used cavalry to control cavalry" and had the same force. It can be said to be a head-on battle...

On the nearby high platform, Li Yao stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the audience. A tall man stood beside her, twisting three strands of beautiful beard in his hand, as if he was thinking. It was Chai Shao, Duke of Huo.

Li Yao asked, "Sichang, have you agreed with the warrior?"

Chai Shao was silent for a long time before he spit out a word: "Yes."

Li Yao heard his voice seem a little weird, and thought for a while and said, "The Wu family's family is a bit bad, but I have seen that child. In terms of appearance and character, they are all worthy of Lingwu."

Chai Shao snorted and said, "I thought so too, but it's a pity that the one who fell in love with the Wu family's daughter was not Ling Wu, but Zhewei."

Li Yao was secretly surprised and blurted out and asked, "What's going on?"

Although the Chai family in Linfen is not a first-class family, Chai Zhewei is the prince of Duke Huo's mansion after all. In the past, the Wei family in Jingzhao wanted to marry, but Chai Shao did not agree, let alone the second daughter of the Wu family.

Chai Shao's face was as deep as water, and he said in an unhappy tone: "I have been working outside for many years, and I don't know how you discipline Zhewei and Lingwu. Anyway, this time I have gained insight. One dares to ask for it and the other dares to give in. They really love and respect each other."

Li Yao couldn't help but turn his head to look at him and said in surprise: "Why did you agree? Zhewei is the prince!" Yuddrip Bookstore

Because the life experience of "Wu Zetian" in the original history was too "glorious", Li Yao still had a subconscious fear of Hua Gu, so her original plan was actually exactly the same as Chai Shao's idea, that is, Chai Lingwu would marry this prospective daughter-in-law.

For this political marriage, the second son of the Chai family and the second daughter of the Wu family were extremely appropriate arrangements... However, no one expected that Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu had their own opinions and gave her a genuine brother-in-law, which broke her original idea.

Chai Shao met her gaze and asked back, "Can I disagree? These two kids are both eloquent, and I, a father, can't even argue with them."

Li Yao twitched slightly with his lips: "What did they both say?"

Chai Shao said angrily: "They actually told me an allusion."

Li Yaoqi said: "What kind of allusion?"

Chai Shao stared at Li Yao and slowly recited three names: "Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Zijian, and... Zhen Mi."

Li Yao immediately understood and was even a little amused.

During the Jian'an period of the late Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao won the victory in the Battle of Guandu, he took advantage of the victory to capture Yecheng and captured Yuan Xi's wife Zhen Mi. Because of his gorgeous and elegant appearance and beautiful as a fairy, Cao Cao's two sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were both fascinated by it and asked Cao Cao to accept Zhen Mi one after another. According to legend, Cao Cao thought that the foresight would be the one who had seen it, and eventually let Zhen Mi enter Cao Pi's inner room.

As a loser, it is not difficult to guess what Cao Zhi would feel at that time. After all, what he could not get is always the best. Many years later, Zhen Mi, who was originally praised as a "true filial wife" by Cao Cao's wife Empress Wu Xuanbian, was suddenly sentenced to death by Cao Pi, who had just become emperor for less than two years, on the grounds of "jealous woman". Soon Cao Zhi was transferred to the King of Juancheng. When he passed by Luoshui, he fell in love with the scene, recalled his encounter with Zhen Mi, and wrote a famous poem about the Goddess of Luo that has been passed down through the ages... It's a tragedy!

Li Yao was silent for a while before sighing softly, saying, "Although it is a bit cheaper for the Wu family, I think about it again. As long as you wish, you will avoid the hidden danger of brothers' siege. If Wu is willing to give in, does it just mean that he is smart and sensible? What's more,..."

She paused, glanced at Chai Shao lightly, and continued: "No matter what, Zhewei fell in love with Hua Gu at first sight. I think it's easier to get along well after they become husband and wife. It's better than having no feelings for each other. What do you think?"

Chai Shao was so angry that he was angry at her words: "I understand why Zhewei and Lingwu are so eloquent. It's true that there are masters and disciples."

Li Yao bowed seriously: "General Chai praised it."

Chai Shao stared at her eyes, and a resentful look appeared on his face: "Sanniang, I know I'm sorry for you, so I want to compensate you, but I have no choice but to have a life, and even let you decide the major affairs of my son's marriage. I really don't know what to do to get your forgiveness?"

"The past is gone, and friendship has long been gone, so how can we forgive me? Now, the relationship between you and me is a common interest, except for this pair of sons. You have never reunited for many years and have never taken a concubine. Isn't it just to keep Princess Pingyang's position as the princess of the people and teach my father to always value you. Do you feel guilty for you?"

Li Yao's voice was calm, but every word reached Chai Shao's heart, revealing his deep thoughts.

Chai Shao's chest was undulating violently, and his face turned blue and white. Li Yao was thinking that the other party was about to attack. Chai Shao suddenly smiled again and his face calmed down: "So what? I was born as a real man. In order to realize my lifelong ambitions, I should know the way to choose. Since I have said this, I don't have to hide it from you. I don't regret those things at that time."

Li Yao also smiled, smiling relaxedly: "Everyone is each other."
