Chapter 197 [Trivial things before the war, life may be plain and simple](2/2)
Gu Tianya moved slowly and walked with her to the window.
Zhao Ning still put her head on his shoulder and didn't seem to really look at the moonlight outside, but she murmured softly: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Gu Tianya knew that she actually didn't care about the night, she just enjoyed the feeling of being in his arms.
The couple stood quietly by the window, silently admiring the bright moon in the sky.
The atmosphere is particularly warm.
After a long time, Zhaoning spoke again, but this time he talked about business, and asked him: "The baby will be baptized tomorrow. Are everything ready for the scene?"
Gu Tianya nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, I guarantee that the scene will be prosperous."
Zhao Ning said 'hmm', as if relieved, but quickly asked: "Is there enough food and wine? Are there enough tables and chairs? We also have the manpower to serve the banquet, so we can't be stretched at that time."
Gu Tianya was very good-tempered and explained everything to her in detail, saying: "There will definitely be enough food and wine. Yan Jiu and the others will start slaughtering sheep in the middle of the night. This time they plan to slaughter a hundred yellow sheep. The sisters-in-law in the village will come over to help.
Rice. In addition, there are more than a dozen pigs to be slaughtered. Tomorrow I will personally direct people to prepare a meal of slaughtered pigs."
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the tables and chairs, Miyun Sun sent someone to deliver them yesterday. His family has more than a hundred servants, and they will be placed at the inn tonight.
Tables and chairs.”
Zhao Ning seemed a little dissatisfied and said: "Our child cannot be baptized by outsiders all the time. This is out of character and will make other people laugh."
Gu Tianya laughed and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, it won't be embarrassing. We will ensure that we have enough manpower for tomorrow's occasion."
Zhao Ning said 'hmm' again, but couldn't help but added: "There must be someone to welcome guests."
"Yes, Cheng Chumo and the others have extraordinary backgrounds. As my disciples, they can satisfy everyone by serving as welcome guests."
"You only have six apprentices."
"Are you saying that six people are not enough to welcome the guests? Don't worry, there are still some people responsible for welcoming the guests. Some little Taoist boys came from the Taoist sect, and they are all direct descendants of each sect. I counted them specially.
There were actually fourteen people, including Cheng Chumo and the others, making up exactly twenty guests."
"Twenty, well, it's barely enough to support the occasion. I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and our tiger cub is the prince of the country. We can't make the scene too small. I can't let my child lose face."
In fact, Zhao Ning is not a woman who cares about wealth, but a woman will change once she becomes a mother. She kept nagging and asking about various trivial matters.
Gu Tianya kept following her words, explaining the various arrangements in a good voice.
This may be the normal state of life. Many trivial things make up the daily routine. Although it seems complicated, it is silently warm.
But Zhaoning is not an ordinary woman after all.
She suddenly asked: "Where are Ma Sanbao and the others? Why haven't they been seen in the past few days? He is a retainer of the Gu family. According to the rules, he should greet the tiger cub every morning."
Gu Tianya slowly exhaled and said, "He wanted to give the young master a generous gift, so he took his troops to Yunzhou."
Zhao Ning was startled at first, then her pretty face became solemn. Her eyes twinkled and she asked thoughtfully: "Should we attack Liang Shidu? Or should we fight the Turks?"
She is worthy of being a handsome woman of her generation, and she is instantly shrewd when talking about war.
Gu Tianya glanced at her and said softly: "Although it is only August now, there is already frost on the grassland. According to this situation, it will definitely be a severe winter this year. The Turks do not give birth, so they are bound to encounter cold disasters.
plunder, so they will definitely go south in large numbers."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "They commit crimes every year and kill people every year. There is an old saying from ancient times that good people will always be deceived. Therefore, we have to give them a harsh blow."
Zhao Ning raised her head and looked at him. After a long while, she spoke softly and said slightly dissatisfied: "Is it the second brother's idea? His uncle actually used his nephew's full moon baptism as a plot. We can't wait, we have to be overjoyed.
Kill people on that day."
Gu Tianya laughed and said warmly: "You are wrong to blame him. In fact, I initiated this matter, and then the eldest brother and the second brother participated together. The three of us planned this plan together..."
He said that he was afraid that Zhao Ning would be dissatisfied, so he quickly explained: "The tiger cub's full-moon baptism is only tomorrow, and we will definitely not go to war tomorrow."
However, Zhao Ning slowly shook his head and said with a serious expression on his pretty face: "You don't have to lie to me, it must be tomorrow. Since you have set up a plan, you must have deliberately used our baby's baptism as a loophole. No matter Master Liang,
Well, it’s still the Turks. Once they fall into the trap, they will definitely raise an army tomorrow..."
Gu Tianya was a little embarrassed and said: "I forgot that you are a handsome man."
This is tantamount to admitting Zhao Ning's guess.
Tomorrow, when the tiger cub is baptized at the full moon, it is the time to have a fierce battle with the Turks.
This battle will advance the historical Battle of the Wei River by two years. However, there will never be another humiliating alliance.
If you want to straighten your waist, you must stretch it out.
…
The night is very late, and the whole world is under the same moon.
At this time, frost was slowly falling in Yunzhou, northwest China. Although it was only the eighth month, there was already a chill in the northwest, but the three thousand cavalry didn't care about the cold. Instead, there was a kind of fanaticism on everyone's face.
For many years, the Han family has been beaten by the Turks, but after tonight, this humiliation will never happen again.
They want to kill the Turks.
Ma Sanbao was covered in armor and his eyes were solemn. He suddenly turned his head and looked to one side, and respectfully spoke to a young man who was also covered in armor, saying: "We really didn't expect that you would come. In fact, you will come to this battle."
No need to come."
The young man smiled lightly and said: "You are a retainer of the Gu family and want to give a gift to the little master. As the uncle of the tiger cub, I also want to give a gift to the little nephew."
As he spoke, his eyes seemed a little hesitant. He looked at a beautiful figure in the distance and said in awe, "Isn't the aunt Chang'e also going to give a gift to her little nephew?"
Ma Sanbao breathed out gently and said sincerely: "The Turks are really unlucky..."
The most powerful general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji, and the fairy-like Gu Chang'e, these two people participated in this war, and it is unknown how many people on the Turkic side will die.
Ma Sanbao expressed deep silence for the Turks.
It was already late in the night, and there were only two hours left before morning at most. There was a clanging sound in the distance, and the cooks in the army had already begun to bury pots and make rice.
Only by eating before a battle can you ensure your physical strength. In ancient times, there was not much skill in fighting. The greatest fighting strength was for the soldiers to eat well and drink enough.
This meal was all about meat.
