After nearly 20 days of preparation, the three-month military exercise is finally about to officially begin.

Although there is a gap between Dang Jinbi and Guo Dafeng's personal abilities compared to Xue Chuyu, as the saying goes, three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, and Dang Guo and Guo have worked together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and the power of cooperation should not be underestimated. Now the two of them will attack Xue Shao in two ways, and Xue Shao is in a disadvantageous position when he is attacked by the enemy. In addition, the second general of the party attaches great importance to Xue Shao psychologically, and has already raised the spirit of 120,000 points to strictly guard against it, and would rather not build an inch of merit than be greedy for merit and trade.

If you are cautious enough in war, you will make fewer mistakes. The balance of victory in a war tends to favor the side that makes fewer mistakes.

Dang Guo Er General is like a pair of living treasure straw bags in life, but the caution on the battlefield is really rare, which may be the magic weapon for them to worship the general.

Their extreme caution even made Xue Shao feel that the biggest advantage in his hands, the scout elite soldiers, would not be able to play a major role.

"These two are interesting." Xue Shao smiled at the left and right, "It's obvious that they are the main attacker, but as soon as they came up, they first became a turtle with a shrunken head, tightly locked the turtle shell, and didn't let me take advantage of it." ”

"They are different from Xue Chuyu." Guo An also said with a smile, "General Yuguan is heroic and high-spirited, strives to win every battle, and pursues a hearty victory. The second general of Dang Guo has been stationed in Beijing for many years, and he has only practiced an evil kung fu that is good at defense. Moreover, in the face of the young marshal, if they can fight for a draw, it will also be a big victory. Therefore, it is not surprising that they put on such a strict defensive door before the war began. ”

"There is no barrier in the world that cannot be broken, and there is no one who does not make mistakes." Xue Shao said with a smile, "Tomorrow will officially start, see the real chapter on the battlefield!" ”

In order to nourish his spirits, Xue Shao slept relatively early this night. Not long after falling asleep, Guo An came in and woke him up, "The young marshal forgives his sins, and a court envoy has arrived." ”

"So late?" Xue Shao knew that it should be a big deal, so he invited him in.

The envoy was a eunuch among officials, Xue Shao recognized him, and Wu Zetian's confidant and attendant. When he came in, he bowed and apologized, and said that the Queen Mother had something important to announce that she was urgently meeting Xue Yuma, and it was urgent.

"Father-in-law, do you know, what are the major military affairs?" Xue Shao asked.

"The old slave doesn't know." The eunuch replied, "The queen mother knows that Xue Juma is urgently training, and if it is not a last resort, she will not announce that Xue Juma is entering the palace at this time." Please forgive me and be able to leave early. ”

"Okay, I got it." Xue Shao was very embarrassed, seeing that this big military exercise was about to start, if I left, who would command it?

"Young marshal, do you want to give an order to the second general of the party Guo to postpone the war?" Guo An prompted.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers have been preparing for more than 20 days, and it is impossible to say that it has been postponed because of me alone." Xue Shao said, "Besides, it's too late to postpone the notice now, maybe my envoy will call them before they arrive." Even if it's too late, the second general of the party Guo has already learned the lesson of Xue Chuyu's defeat, and when they get the news, they will think that I am using a scheme! ”

"That's right. Now the arrow has to be sent. Guo An nodded, "Since the young marshal has to be temporarily absent, another person can be appointed to temporarily command the battle." The young marshal should go back quickly, and it shouldn't get in the way of the big thing. ”

"And who's coming?" Xue Shao looked at these people in the tent, except for Guo An, who were scouts, only Zhong Shaojing and Wang Yu were left, and then said, "Guo An, are you coming?" ”

"No, I'm sure I can't." Guo An smiled, "I'm just a scout, and I've only learned a little bit of thief kung fu." Commanding a big battle is absolutely not possible. ”

"Zhong Shaojing?"

"The subordinates can only write and draw, and the command of the battle will inevitably be annihilated." Zhong Shaojing bowed his hand, "The young marshal hurry up and choose another master, otherwise if this battle is lost, the young marshal's reputation will inevitably be ruined!" ”

Xue Shao had no choice but to lock his eyes on Wang Yu and hooked his fingers at him, "Come here." ”

"Subordinate...... I can't even ride a horse yet! Wang Yu walked over a little nervously.

"Who said that the general has to be better than the three armies of the cavalry and archery Yongguan, haven't you heard of the white-robed Chen Qingzhi?" Xue Shao said, "When you first met me, didn't you just say that you wanted to be a general who galloped across the field, and read military books every day and asked me for advice from time to time?" ”

"Subordinates, that's just on paper!"

"So, now that the opportunity is rare, do you have the courage to practice it?"

"This ......" Wang Yu hesitated and was nervous, but there was also some excitement and excitement in his eyes.

"That's you!" Xue Shao slapped him on the shoulder, almost knocking him to the ground.

Guo An and the others laughed.

"Don't laugh!" Xue Shao shouted loudly and said very seriously, "After I leave, Wang Yu will temporarily take over as the head coach." Military law is like a mountain order prohibited, and there must be no mistake! ”

"Yes!" Everyone solemnly promised.

Xue Shao removed the Taiyi Imperial Sword from his waist and put it in Wang Yu's hand, "This is my Ling Sword, and I will hand it over to you now." Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, whatever you think in your head, how to command the battle! - Believe in yourself, you can do it! ”

"Less, less marshal...... Why don't you think about it again? Wang Yu was still a little nervous, and his lips were dry, "If you lose, your subordinates can't afford it!" ”

"Since I have entrusted it to you, I can trust you. Victory and defeat are commonplace, what can you not afford? Xue Shao said, "If you win, one of my Xue people's scrivener can also overturn two generals, which is a great scenery; Even if I lose, it's none of my business. You can only win if you can afford to lose, you know? ”

"I, I'm ......" Wang Yu was very nervous, his hands were trembling, and he didn't dare to take the Ling Sword.

"Squeak, squeak, are you still a man?" Xue Shao shouted, "Take the sword!" ”

"Yes! ――”

A moment later, Xue Shao stepped on his horse and left the camp with the eunuch, preparing to go to the palace.

"Xue Yuma, this is really difficult for you." The eunuch smiled, "Let a book envoy take charge of the handsome seal and command the battle, that is really a duck on the shelf!" ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "No one is born to fight, many ancient famous generals have never learned the art of war, isn't it just because they were born in troubled times and fought while fighting?" - What's more, Wang Yu has also learned the art of war and has been by my side for so long! ”

The eunuch smiled: "Famous teachers produce high apprentices, that's right, that's right!" ”

"I didn't teach him anything. But I know that people are always forced to grit their teeth and get through. After surviving many times, you will unconsciously achieve great things. Xue Shao patted the horse, "Let's go, enter the palace!" ”

At dawn the next day, Xue Shao rushed into the palace before the start of the morning dynasty and asked to see Wu Zetian in front of the Yingxian Palace.

Wu Zetian was about to go out to the court, and when he heard that Xue Shao was coming, he immediately announced that he would cancel today's court meeting and announce that he would meet Xue Shao first.

Xue Shao felt very strange, what was the big deal that made Wu Zetian cancel the early dynasty?

The location of the meeting was not the imperial study, Wu Zetian took a step ahead, and then asked the palace people to invite Xue Shao to the inner court Jiuzhou Pond and got on a dragon boat.

Xue Shao regretted it as soon as he got on the boat, and the sound of the warbler singing and swallowing and dancing silk and bamboo was obviously not like an environment for discussing major military matters!

"Xue Lang!"

Suddenly there was an excited call, and Xue Shao felt a pain in his brain when he heard this voice!

Grandma's legged, Princess Taiping!

"I'm here, I'm here!" Princess Taiping called happily, Xue Shao turned her head to see that she was standing on the top deck of the dragon boat, dancing with her windbreaker fluttering against the river. That lively and agile little appearance, Xue Shao had only seen it when she was not out of the pavilion.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Be careful, don't fall." ”

"Nope! - Come up and watch me dance! Princess Taiping chuckled, it seemed that she was not in a good mood.

Xue Shao had to sigh and shake his head, "It's here!" ”

On the deck, Xue Shao saw Wu Zetian sitting on the side, drinking tea and enjoying Princess Taiping's dance, and stepped forward to pay homage first.

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Wu Zetian said with a smile, "It seems that our Young Marshal Xue is very resentful in his heart!" ”

"Nope." Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "I don't know what the Queen Mother is about urgently announcing that she is meeting Weichen?" ”

Wu Zetian nodded at Princess Taiping, "Is this a big deal?" ”

Xue Shao scratched his head, "Count, count!" ”

"Don't be unconvinced." Wu Zetian looked at it with a blank snort, "What is your relationship with the princess, it is not only your private matter, but also a national event." Whether it is a mother or the ruling queen mother, this palace has the right to intervene and mediate. ”

"Yes, what the Queen Mother said is reasonable." Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, why did he suddenly go online so much today? Are you going to use the "marriage" to have a showdown with me?

"Taiping, you take a break."

Wu Zetian called affectionately, and Princess Taiping, who was dancing vigorously, flew over like a butterfly and landed beside Wu Zetian, panting with sweat, and rolled Xue Shao's eyes very unladylike - "Hmph!" ”

Xue Shao smiled maliciously and whispered, "You're about to be a grandmother, are you still coquettish?" ”

"Nonsense!" Princess Taiping was immediately angry, "How old is Qiyu?" ”

Xue Shao flicked his fingers decently, "Two years old?" Three-year-old, or four-year-old? ”

"You can really be a dad." Wu Zetian sighed, "No wonder Taiping is dissatisfied with you." ”

Xue Shao smiled, but said in his heart: Can I not know how old my son is? Now that you've given you an excuse, you can quickly say it, aren't you just going to force us to divorce?

"Taiping, look at your sweaty body, hurry up and freshen up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." Wu Zetian said lovingly, "Come and drink tea with us later." ”

"Okay." Princess Taiping agreed very simply, and when she got up to leave, she didn't forget to roll Xue Shao's eyes again, "Hmph! ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, and the little one became more and more embarrassed!

Wu Zetian laughed on the side, "Xue Shao, you were also a merry man, you should know that this woman has to take care of her before she is dead set on you, especially not to be left out in the cold." ”

"How dare the minister snub the princess?" Xue Shao smiled bitterly.

"Still say no?" Wu Zetian pretended to be stunned, "You have lived in the barracks for more than 20 days, and the Luoshui camp is only fifteen miles away from Luoyang City, is it difficult to go back home?" ”

"This ...... The military is busy, there is no way! ”

"Excuses." Wu Zetian reprimanded lightly, "You obviously want to avoid her." ”

Xue Shao didn't want to struggle with Wu Zetian in this matter, so he said: "Queen Mother, I didn't do it right, I will explain to the princess later to admit my mistake - if there is nothing else important, can the Queen Mother let the ship dock, the minister has to rush back to the barracks immediately and command the military exercise!" ”

"With such an attitude of yours, how can this palace believe you?" Wu Zetian sighed, "That's it, you husband and wife will solve the matter by yourself." Of course, this palace has called you, and of course it is not just to mediate the affairs of your husband and wife - you can come and see. ”

Wu Zetian asked the waiter to bring up the two chapters and handed them to Xue Shao.
