The first thousand one hundred and thirty chapters
When Li Chi and Tang Pidian mentioned Cao Lie, they looked at each other and thought at the same time, what would Cao Lie do if he received a letter from Princess Wu?
Cao Lie is a smart person with few people, so the Cao family's industry in Yuzhou can be preserved.
But if he chose to help a group of Princess Wu this time, he would have to consider his future and the future of the entire Cao family.
We also need to consider how to help with this busyness. With his weight, can it affect Li Chi and let Prince Wu go.
In fact, there is no need to think about it. Li Chi might take care of his emotions, but how could General Tang Pidian give him such face?
Li Chi had long said that Tang Pidian had the final say in military affairs. As long as he was on the battlefield, he was just the next general of Tang Pidian's escort.
It is precisely because Li Chi knows this, Lao Tang knows this, and Cao Lie must also know this.
So if Cao Lie received a request for help from Princess Wu, he might be very sad.
At the same time, the Chu army was rushing to the road, and Princess Wu's carriage was quite conspicuous in the team. Around the carriage, there were a group of armored soldiers in red clothes.
The ones who protected her around Princess Wu were not only the masters she recruited, but also the strong men in the army selected by Prince Wu for him.
These red-clothed men are called the God-Binding Guard.
When the Tianming Army rebelled in Daxing City, it also attacked Prince Wu's mansion and even wanted to kidnap Prince Wu to threaten the Chu army, and then threaten Prince Wu in the future.
However, the Tianming Army failed to attack the royal palace, and a group of pretentious masters jumped into the backyard and were killed by the God-Binding Guard soon.
If you want to say that the Zuo Wu Guard trained by Prince Wu himself is the elite of the Chu army, then Prince Wu’s personal barracks are the elite of the elite. Think about it, most of Prince Wu’s God-Binding Guards were carefully selected from the personal barracks. You can imagine how strong these people are.
General Dou Yong was the vanguard general of the Chu army, and led tens of thousands of troops to open the way for the army.
After leaving Daxing City, the Chu army was rushing to the fastest speed, and Princess Wu was already anxious.
Sitting in the carriage, Princess Wu looked at the map in front of her and thought for a long time.
She had never had any experience in leading troops, nor had she ever been involved in the military affairs of King Wu, but she was smart enough.
She knew all the battles that Prince Wu had fought and the details. She even knew more than any general under Prince Wu's tent, and remembered them for a longer time.
As a woman who knows how to make her husband happy, she understands better than anyone else that if her husband and wife have no topics to talk about, then the relationship will sooner or later fade.
Leading troops to fight is the most proud thing for Prince Wu. If he talks about these battle examples with his wife, his wife will end the topic by saying that I don’t understand.
Then Prince Wu would not blame her, but she would feel a little disappointed.
So she would understand every battle that Prince Wu had fought, understand how to win, where the victory was, and where the enemy was defeated.
She will also reflect on what tactics the enemy should use to deal with it, and may have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
In this way, Prince Wu likes to chat with her the most.
No matter what she talks about, she can deal with it. Not to mention military affairs, astronomy and geography have been around since ancient times, in order to avoid becoming unfamiliar with her husband, she has learned so many and complicated things, which is probably better than the civil and military affairs of the Great Chu Dynasty.
In fact, most men and women cannot do more things that are interested in their partners.
As a husband, it is not difficult to master what styles of clothes, jewelry, and food and snacks your wife likes.
If you can sit down and chat with her for a long time, she doesn’t think you are perfunctory. This is the ability.
As a wife, the husband occasionally mentions his difficult work and hard work, but his wife has no interest and even ignores her. Over time, both parties will become taciturn.
Princess Wu doesn't want her husband to be disappointed, and doesn't want her to be just an ordinary woman in his eyes.
She knew how to make herself dazzling and make her dazzling brilliance reflect her dazzling brilliance when she looked at her.
Princess Wu held a charcoal pen in her hand and marked the map where she thought the Ning army might be camping, as well as where the Ning army might be arranged to prevent the Chu army from rescue.
If someone has just seen the Ning Army Camp in Mangdang Mountain and then looked at the location she marked, they will be amazed at how powerful she is.
Two women sat opposite Princess Wu, one looked twenty-sixty-seven years old and the other looked in her thirties.
These two women, the young one, looked lively, with light in their eyes, and the other was calm, sitting there without saying anything, even breathing slightly.
Both of them are personal guards of Princess Wu and helpers trained by Princess Wu himself.
In the past, these two people were assigned by Princess Wu in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and Princess Wu's business was managed by them.
About a year ago, Princess Wu stopped all business and transferred the two of them back to her.
The older woman is named Zhaoluan, and the younger one is named Cainan.
After Princess Wu marked the location, she clicked on the map with a charcoal pen: "Ningjun will definitely arrange a large army on the north bank of the Panxing River."
She slowly let out a sigh: "With the ability of King Ning Li Chi, there must be many spies and scouts here, so as soon as our army leaves the city, his people will send the news back in a hurry."
"Before we arrived, Ning Jun would set up defenses on the north bank of the Panxing River, and it would not only be a defense, but also want to swallow our team."
Cainandao: "My mistress, the weather is strange this year. It's almost August. Almost no rain has occurred in various parts of Jingzhou. The year of severe drought is coming, so the water level of the Panxing River will not be high, and the cavalry may be able to rush over directly."
Princess Wu shook her head: "What do you think with light cavalry to rush forward?"
Zhao Luan raised his hand and pointed on the map: "My mistress has marked it here, is it very important here?"
Princess Wu said, "This is the upper reaches of the Panxing River. The water is stronger, but the river channel is narrower. Let's take a look at it when you go to the place. If you can avoid the Ning army's team, you must first see if the upstream can be connected."
As he was speaking, someone whispered outside: "Miss Mother, General Dou sent someone to ask for a meeting."
Princess Wu signaled, and Cainan immediately opened the window of the carriage: "Let him talk outside the carriage."
A lieutenant said outside the car: "Your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, Cainan frowned and said, "The princess is the chief general of the three armies, you should call him the general."
The captain hurriedly said, "Report to the General, General Dou sent me to ask for instructions. He met some people on the road ahead, saying that they were the general's nephew and were waiting on the roadside..."
Hearing this, Princess Wu suddenly looked up: "My nephew? Lie'er?"
The captain said: "He called himself Cao Lie."
Princess Wu immediately said, "Please come here."
Soon, someone outside the carriage spoke: "My nephew greets my aunt."
"It's really you?"
The moment Princess Wu saw Cao Lie through the car window, her face became ugly.
"Get in the car and talk."
"yes."
Zhao Luan and Cai Nan got out of the car immediately. After Cao Lie got on the carriage, he knelt down on the carriage with his robes: "Greetings to my aunt..."
Princess Wu looked at him with a cold face, suddenly raised her hand and slapped Cao Lie in the face with a slap.
This was very strong, and half of Cao Lie's face turned red and swollen after a moment.
Cao Lie didn't even hide, and knelt straight, with guilt in his eyes.
Princess Wu said in a cold voice: "You know your uncle will be trapped in Mangdang Mountain, and you know that the court has no talent, so you guessed that I will go to rescue him in person, so you came here to stop me halfway."
Cao Lie lowered his head: "Isn't my nephew here to stop my aunt."
Princess Wu's voice became even colder: "You really didn't come to stop me, you were just here to complain. You are now Ning Chen. You know that I will send someone to send you a letter, so you might as well come over to see me directly instead of going to see Prince Ning Li Chi."
Cao Lie was silent for a moment and nodded: "My aunt has hit her nephew's worries, and her nephew really can't go to see King Ning."
Bang!
Princess Wu slapped Cao Lie in the face again, and this time it became even more powerful, and Cao Lie's body was slapped a little.
Princess Wu said angrily: "For your own future, do you ignore the relationship between me and you?"
Cao Lie smiled miserably: "Auntie, my nephew is here because of this love, and my nephew can't go to see King Ning. It's useless to see him. King Ning doesn't make the decision on military affairs, so General Tang Pidian makes the decision."
Princess Wu frowned.
Cao Lie said: "But King Wu is my uncle. I am useless to ask King Ning, so I have to come here to see my aunt. No matter how I fight this battle, I will charge forward."
Princess Wu's face was already scary: "Okay, okay, you are indeed a child of the Cao family. You use this trick very well to retreat and advance. You know best in your heart that I will never kill you, nor will I let you fight to the battlefield, so you came to me and pretended to be..."
"aunt."
Cao Lie knelt down and said, "What can my nephew do? If my nephew stays in Yuzhou and ignores my aunt's letters, it is unfilial... My nephew went to ask King Ning for being unfaithful. Since I was unfaithful inside and outside, I might as well go with my aunt to save people directly. King Ning will still treat me as a man."
Princess Wu opened her mouth, and said even more vicious words without saying them.
After a moment, Princess Wu let out a heavy breath.
"You're too smart."
She looked Cao Lie in the eyes and said, "I told your father when you were very young. I said that Lieer's intelligence is far superior to adults when he was a teenager..."
Princess Wu paused for a moment and sighed again.
"But I didn't expect that one day you would use your intelligence on me."
Cao Lie no longer defended himself or spoke, but just knelt down and said nothing.
After a long time, Princess Wu said, "You are the only one in the Cao family. You are sure that I can't do anything to you... Cao Lie, Cao Lie, your father's methods of doing things are ruthless. Compared to you, he is really inferior to you. It's better..."
Princess Wu raised her finger and pointed outside the car: "You go, I know your intentions, and your choice is right. Whether the Cao family can gain a foothold in the future depends entirely on you. From now on, no... from the day I married King Wu, I am no longer a member of the Cao family."
Cao Lie kowtowed: "My nephew didn't lie, and his nephew didn't come to deal with his aunt perfunctorily. His nephew had already told him about his funeral, and he also sent a letter to King Ning. If his uncle died, his nephew would definitely be buried with him. Loyalty and filial piety... must be the same."
He stood up and said, "My nephew is in the vanguard."
"Stop it!"
Princess Wu scolded angrily.
Cao Lie did not listen to her, nor did he turn around. After getting off the carriage, he headed towards the front army.
"Leaser!"
Princess Wu shouted again, her voice a little hoarse.
