Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Zhuoshui South Bank Military Camp. [This book is published by the first]

"Shang said, the teacher's guard, Ma Busi, Yu Hou Guo Shao, led the Tigers and the Czech Army's Sixth Army to defend Zhuozhou. Qin here." A white fat **** read. Also with him was the Deputy Privy Envoy Wang Pu, who came to inspect military affairs.

When Guo Shao heard the word Qin, it seemed to mean that as the emperor came personally, he had to bow down and accept the decree with his hands. Wang Pu came up to help: "The officials have finished talking, General Guo will get up."

Guo Shao really didn't want to get up and kneeled for them!

He finally stood up and looked up at the slowly flowing Zhuo Shui in front of him. There are two sergeants of Zhou Qi rushing from the opposite bank, and the place where the Tigers and the Czech Republic are defending is the clear and shallow river; the two horses slowed down when they rushed to the river, and then went straight down the river and waded on horseback. To the heart of the river. The horse didn't understand sorrow, and when he arrived in the river, he drank and swung his head, throwing the water onto the surface of the river.

Upon seeing this, Guo Shao turned back to the south, a green field... Juma River was in the distance, invisible in sight.

"Oh." Guo Shao sighed, and had nothing to say for a while.

Upon seeing this, Wang Pu knew that defending Zhuozhou City was not a good place. The Zhuoshui in the front was shallow and could not stop the army; the Juma River in the back was deep, which brought inconvenience to reinforcements and transportation of grain and grass.

Wang Pu said: "You stay. Regardless of whether the officials will make another Northern Expedition in the near future, as soon as we start the war with Liao, we must keep people on the border for defense. Since ancient times, the two countries have been fighting. The reason for others to counterattack." He thought for a while, and then said, "Zhao Kuangyin said that after the army rests, he will find another fighter for the Northern Expedition; it was General Guo who he recommended to defend Zhuozhou and use this place as a stronghold on the north bank of the Juma River... Of course, it was the last one. Officials will make decisions only if they think it is feasible."

When Guo Shao heard it, he understood everything in his heart. If Zhao Kuangyin didn't mean it, he would not believe it at all!

He looked down at the river, pondered for a while, then turned his head and said, "I've been to Gu'an County. The city wall is low and separated from Zhuozhou by the river. I am afraid that the division of troops may not be a **** situation, but the forces are scattered... …

I want to abandon Gu'an, concentrate my forces on Zhuozhou, and keep the Western Front; and ask the Long Jie army to garrison from the left side to Qigou Pass, and enter Zhuozhou to prevent Zhuozhou from becoming an isolated city, and retreat to guard the pontoon grain road to protect our supply line. Such concentration of forces to actively attack and defend the north bank of the Ma River is more stable than passively defending the city. With this request, I also hope that the deputy envoy Wang will give his support in front of the officials. "

After listening, Wang Pu pondered for a moment, and said: "General Guo's strategy is quite defensive. The old man will report to the official after he returns."

When Wang Pu left the barracks. Guo Shao summoned the generals and ordered the entire army to retreat to Zhuozhou, beware of the infantry being divided and surrounded in the wild... Before the court responded, he gave up Gu'an; anyway, he had already talked to the Privy Council official Wang Pu about his intentions, and Wang Pu also said Makes sense.

The main force of the Liao army was huge, and Guo Shao didn’t know how many. But he knew that the Zhou army used more than 60,000 elite cavalry in the decisive battle a few days ago, so the army also declared that "the Liao people have more horses and soldiers." No less than 100,000 rides. One hundred thousand Khitan cavalry, and usually there will be the most trusted servants of the Khitan people, Xi soldiers, who are very powerful... You can imagine the consequences of being divided and surrounded by so many people.

But as long as you rely on Zhuozhou City, you are not afraid. Zhou Jun’s total strength on the southern bank of the Juma River is estimated to have reached 200,000, more than 100,000 elite bans, and many local soldiers in the town. As long as Zhuozhou defends, Chai Rong has no reason to watch Guo Shao’s long-term siege... After all, the elite of the Tiger Jie army is not Guo Shao's personal; if Chai Rong really doesn't trust him, he can withdraw his military power in a word.

The army entered Zhuozhou City, Guo Shao Zhun Zuo You's suggestion, first try to preserve the people's hearts. So military laws were posted everywhere in the city, and soldiers who bullied the people were very severe from caning to beheading. The army also does not take private houses by force, and is stationed in the four gates to set up tents; and occupy the official state government offices.

Sure enough, the effect was good. Not only was the Zhou army stationed in the city not harassed, but also supported by Hebei Han'er, it was easy to summon the people to build fortifications.

But how long will you stay in Zhuozhou? Guo Shao remembered what Empress Fu had given himself: After the Northern Expedition, return to Beijing "at any cost"!

He couldn't think of a good way for a while, worried that Chai Rong would leave himself in Hebei border defense for a long time. According to past practice, only the two armies of the Guards Division of the Forbidden Army would often divide their troops and station abroad; the Palace Front Division belonged to the emperor's true guards, unless the emperor personally conquered them, otherwise they were basically in Tokyo.

The Department of Guards has only two armies: Tiger Jie Army and Long Jie Army. Guo Shaobu was also stationed in Zhuozhou, so the probability of letting him stay is very high.

...I don't know if it was because of the low mood, maybe it was because of the cold that lived in the tent; Guo Shao, in order to show his determination to share the ups and downs with the soldiers, he also lived in the tent and laid the floor. Within two days after entering Zhuozhou, he fell ill.

The high fever did not go away, and he knew that he had a bad cold without taking the pulse of the doctor. The generals sent to the doctor to visit, and asked more questions, but Guo Shao ignored it. He didn't care about a cold at all, and he still worried about how to return to Beijing.

Do you take the opportunity to call it sick now? But I was afraid that Chai Rong would let him cross the Juma River to recover from illness and leave the army behind; this is the most likely situation, there is no need to transfer the 20,000 troops...it’s fine to change someone to Zhuozhou, such as Gao Huaide; Gao Huaide’s The military position is the commander of the guard and infantry division, and it is no more appropriate to come and take over the left side of the Tigers.

Therefore, Guo Shao decided not to act rashly, and just spent so much to see the situation.

The sickness of his body aggravated his depression, and he felt that the Northern Expedition was behaving badly this time. In Tokyo, the fighting spirit was filled with indignation, but he didn't make a difference in Hebei. It is useless to denounce the hatred of foreign enemies. It is nonsense to defeat everything. And you may not be able to go back if you are stuck here!

"Damp poison invades the body, I occasionally feel the wind and evil..." a doctor said after checking his pulse before the collapse, "The general can no longer live in a tent, he must find a comfortable and dry house to rest."

"The homes of the state office and officials have placed a large number of wounded soldiers left behind in the previous few days. I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep quiet every day. Lord, we can only requisition houses nearby." Zuo You said softly.

Guo Shao didn't speak up, and let them arrange this matter.

At this time, the doctor said: "Well, the chief general of the Zhou Dynasty has no place to live. It really makes me look dull in Zhuozhou. There is a shabby room in the old man. Although it is a sheltered wall, it is quiet. There are only two people inside and outside. It’s better to stay at the old man’s house."

After hearing this, Zuo You said immediately: "It's so good, just to make it easy for the old man to visit the condition...a little reward, no respect. Please do your best to make the lord heal quickly."

Guo Shao was sent to a house near the barracks in a daze. The environment was clean and secluded. A very ordinary house with a tiled house, not a rich and expensive house, does not look poor.

There are no special medicines in this era, and people with poor physical fitness may die if they catch a cold. Guo Shao did not succeed at all, and he had no objection to living in a private house. Because the rooms are relatively small, the personal generals Luo Mengzi and Lu Chengyong take turns to wait for care; the guards can only be stationed outside.

In the evening, Guo Shao sweated a lot, and found out that his fever had gone down the next morning. He immediately felt that the folk doctor really had some abilities. Fever and cold may also be hospitalized in later life for injections and vials; this doctor boiled a pot of herbs for him to drink, and it was just fine every day and night.

At the moment, Luo Mengzi asked the doctor to thank him, and then asked, "The old man respects his family name?"

The doctor said: "Don't dare, the old surname is Lu, the general just calls me Lu Laoer." There was a smile on his face, "Zhuozhou people often call the old genius doctor Lu, haha, there is a suspicion of exaltation, but deal with Some minor illnesses and pains, old people are cured by medicine."

Seeing his carry-on bag on the bedside cupboard, Guo Shao got up and took the bag over and touched a gold belt buckle. At the moment, he put it on the table in the house and said: "I am out on the march, and there is nothing valuable on my body. Thank you for a gadget. Thank you, please accept it."

The genius doctor Lu hurriedly declined.

When Guo Shao saw this, he picked up the inlay buckle, pulled the old man's hand over, and slapped him in his hand: "This is really not a polite way to say that you are a martial artist. Thank you for giving me something, I must give it to you. Yes, accept it."

He got up to clean up, then got up to get dressed. The doctor said: "Although the general's condition has improved, he should be profitable. But you don't have to live in a tent here."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "Are there any family members in the doctor Lu's family?"

Old man Lu said, "Jiannei has passed away for several years, and there is only one daughter in his family."

"It's not convenient for the generals to live with the female family at home." Guo Shao said.

Old man Lu said: "What the general did in Zhuozhou City, you can tell what you are like at a glance, and the old man is not worried." Guo Shao said in a casual way: "I will talk about it later, now I have to go. Third brother, send someone to go. Call Li Chuyun to the army."

Guo Shao went out ~www.readwn.com~ and took a carriage to the Chinese army's crutch. After meeting with Li Chuyun and other generals, they asked about the city defense and the enemy's situation, and only felt relieved when he learned that there was no movement for the time being; he also asked Li Chuyun to send more rangers to the north and south of Zhuoshui, setting up guards everywhere.

Not long after, the newspaper general Zhang Ying asked for a meeting, and Guo Shao invited in.

Zhang Ying is a newcomer to Guo Shao. When the Zhou army advanced northwards in the early stage, Zhucheng Han will surrender after hearing the wind, and a small number of Khitan garrisons hurriedly fled north; Zhang Ying, a livestock rancher near Waqiao Pass, took the opportunity to gather the villagers and rob Khitan when the war broke out. A hundred army horses raised in the ranch came to donate. Guo Shao then rewarded those horses to Zhang Ying, appointing him as the capital, and grouping dozens of brothers in his hands into one capital, giving him a great reward.

"Farewell to Marshal Guo." Zhang Ying is a stout man with a big face in his 30s.

Guo Shao said nicely: "It's exempted."

Zhang Ying said: "The final will have a good friend in Gu'an. In the morning, the friend sent someone to quietly send a letter saying that the Liao army has entered and occupied Gu'an City. It is the man of Xiao Simwen, the military and horse chief of Youzhou South Hospital. The final will feel that this is a military situation, so he hurries to come. Report to the lord."
