The news of Princess Yongmu's marriage spread, and Chang'an City suddenly became lively. Merchants and hawkers, and commoners talk about it. About Wang Tongjiao, Wang Jiao, father and son, the two generations of horses are even more envious of ordinary people. "The ancestral tomb of the Wang family is smoking, and the father and son have married two generations of princesses."

"When Wang Tongjiao and the princess got married, it was not as lively as it is now."

"Wang Miao is a young man, hugging the princess. Two generations of horse masters, once Jing Zhaoxiang...."

The old people in Chang'an City still remember the grand occasion of Princess Taiping's marriage, and told the younger generations about the scene of the year.

Anle Palace.

Princess Yongmu wore a seven-pearl colorful phoenix crown, a red gold and silver thread colorful jade phoenix wedding dress, fluttering big sleeves, dragging a long skirt, sitting at the head of the bed magnificently, waiting for the horse king to come to pick up her relatives. There were two palace maids standing next to her, and Princess Wan'an, who was wearing plain coat sleeves, accompanied Yongmu.

Yongmu got married, and Guo Li became a busy man. The day before the wedding, the Ministry of Rites sent wedding flags, wedding ceremonies, and the honor guard walked in front with these festive and auspicious objects at the time of the wedding. This was Guo Li's first task after serving as the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple.

The auspicious time has arrived. The horse master rode on a big red horse, wearing auspicious clothes, wearing a big red peony symbolizing wealth, and came to the Anle Palace with joy.

Yongmu was sent into the sedan chair, and Wan An followed out with a happy expression, and the princess easily did not let others see the change in her expression.

Wan An looked at the lively scene in front of him with some sadness. At the same age, Yongmu got married, and she was next.

The guard of honor was in front, the sixteen sedan chairs were tired of Zhai, and the sixteen pairs of golden boys and girls were holding red flower baskets, followed by a team of forbidden guards, and the mighty swept out of the palace to the Horse Mansion, and the people who watched were congested along the street.

Guo Li saw Wan'an, such a festive scene, the princess was still as calm as water.

"The princess seems to be a little sad?"

Wan An didn't know Guo Li's ridicule, "Yongmu has found happiness, and Princess Ben is very happy." ”

"Happy?" Guo Li couldn't see Wan An being a little happy. Guo Li thought that Wan An was worried about his future fate.

"I folded it from the palace just now and gave it to Ziyi." Wan An smiled and followed the team to send off his relatives.

Guo Li took it and saw that it was a plum branch.

Since Princess Yongmu got married, Xiangrui seems to have been shrouded in Chang'an City. The first snow after the onset of winter came a little earlier than usual, indicating a bumper harvest in the Guanzhong area in the coming year. As soon as the snow in Chang'an City fell, the fangs of each square were arranging for people to clean it up, and the snow on the main street was also cleared by Jingzhao Mansion.

A horse-drawn carriage came from Suzaku Street, and Guo Li was sitting in the car. Approaching the end of the year, Li Guangbi invited Guo Li to a banquet at home. Guo Li prepared a big gift. I heard that Li Kailuo returned to Beijing from Youzhou to resume his decree, and he will return in a few days. At this moment, he received an invitation from Li Guangbi, which was undoubtedly instructed by Li Kailuo.

There were a lot of familiar people among the guests, and the servant Bone Huaien also came. Chu Wuliang, the commander of the right scattered cavalry, Guo Qianjun, Li Duwei, the general of the right leading army, and several young generals who Guo Li did not know.

Li Kailuo was wearing a casual dress, and when he saw Guo Lidao, he said: "Ziyi is here, the old man has a big face today." ”

In a word, Guo Li blushed a little. Just a few months ago, Guo Li was just a fire commander under the command of the general of the Zuo Jin Wuwei.

"The general's words are serious, Guo will always be the fire commander under the general", Guo Li's words made Li Kailuo happy.

After three rounds of drinking, the servant Gu Huaien whispered to Guo Li: "Fifty people have been prepared, but they are sent by the eldest brother." ”

"Call home tomorrow, there is something to arrange." Guo Li picked up a piece of cooked meat and put it in his mouth.

"Ziyi, have a drink." Li Kailuo invited Guo Lidao. Guo Li picked up the wine glass, rushed to Li Kailuo, and drank it all.

"Ziyi, Li Guangbi is the fourth son of the old man, he has been with you for many years, and he will have to take care of one or two in the future."

"The old general can rest assured, as long as Guo Li can do it, he will definitely live up to his trust."

Guo Li and Li Guangbi touched a cup and smiled at each other. Chu Wuliang and Guo Qianqian successively toasted Li Kailuo with a cup, and Guo Li toasted the two military bigwigs with a cup before sitting down.

"When I was in the army, I never thought that I could become a general one day, and the old man had a defeat in his life, do you want to know?" Everyone in the world is ashamed of defeat, but Li Kailuo actually revealed his scars today and took the initiative to say defeat.

"Who did the general lose to back then?" Chu Wuliang asked.

"But the battle of Leng Cheng that year" Guo Qianqian knew that Li Kailuo failed in this battle that year.

"It's the Battle of Leng Chen. The battle with the Turks back then is still fresh in my memory. I'll tell you today, and I have the right to drink and eat. ”

"Back then, the old man served as Zuo Xiao's guard with 20,000 soldiers, and the enemy had 8,000 cavalry. The Turkic cavalry pierced through the chisels, and 20,000 soldiers could not resist 8,000 cavalry. Although the old man set up a trap for horses, rejected horse stakes, and the archers shot repeatedly, they still couldn't change the outcome of defeat. After that, the old man wanted to build a cavalry belonging to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, whether it is the Tibetans or the Turks, the Tang Dynasty will never be able to resist the cavalry with infantry."

Guo Li understood that the old general was saying this to Li Guangbi and the young people in the field. The opponents of the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetans and the Turks. Both the Tibetans and the Turks were good at cavalry. If you want to win the battle and take the initiative to attack, you must use cavalry to control cavalry.

Guo Li has a much deeper understanding of the strength of the Tang Dynasty's army than Li Kailuo, and the history books he saw in his previous life, the entire Tang Dynasty suppressed the Turks from beginning to end. Even in the Anshi Rebellion, the Turks did not take advantage of anything. It can be said that the Tang army at this moment is invincible all over the world. Li Kailuo's kindness, Guo Li always understands. The so-called lesson from the past and the teacher of the future, Li Kailuo shared the experience of failure with everyone, which is nothing more than to let them not repeat the mistakes of the past in the future.

"General Xie." Guo Li got up and said.

Ziyi was polite. I heard that Ziyi put down the rebellion, and went down to five cities in five days, and he was quite a famous general. Why don't you tell me how to do it? Li Kailuo asked.

The old general smiled, and when Kang Yuanzi's subordinates heard that the Tang Dynasty soldiers had come to quell the rebellion, they abandoned the city and fled. Guo just picked a bargain. Guo Li said politely.

"Just go down five cities for Ziyi, and be a big white." After speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Man's desires are endless. When I was poor and white, I just thought about being able to eat a full meal every day. After the food and clothing were solved, I thought that I could live a better life. When Xia Luo was in the army, Guo Li was just a fire commander, and he lived a precarious life before fighting and charging. Now he was promoted to the fourth rank of the imperial court, married the daughter of the Jingzhao royal family, and bought a house in Chang'an City. All this is like a dream, I don't know how much better it is than before, Guo Li thought that he couldn't come to Datang once in vain. You need money to live a good life, and Guo Li had enough of it in his previous life when he didn't have money. With money, you have a foothold in the Tang Dynasty, even if you don't resign, it's not bad to go home and be a rich man.

If you don't have money, you can find a way to make money, but if you don't have talent, it's difficult.

Dozens of people from the Kudi clan came to join the army, and they were all arranged into the Liangshan regiment by the servant Bone Huai'en. Guo Li had the intention to ask these people to come, but there was no money at the moment, and these dozens of people could not be disposed of. It's better to let these people in the Liangshan regiment, the army is mixed, and whoever can stand out depends on their personal skills.
