Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 216: Unable to check and balance

Li Gu was sent to see Guo Shao at Qigou Pass through the will of the **** Wang Zhongchuan. Baidu: +But when he came back, he was personally interviewed by Chai Rong.

"Knock to your majesty." Li Gu leaned over and bowed. Of course he couldn't see the emperor at this time, his face was almost against the floor tiles.

Hearing a "flat body", Li Gu got up carefully. He heard the **** whispering next to him: "Li Mansion, you can't make the official angry." He still didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but the hall was not big, and there was no such thing as a lofty hall. Even if he didn't look directly at Chai Rong, he could see seven or eight out of the steps.

Chai Rong had no armor, and was wearing a loose purple robe. His face was dark and spotted, and he was indeed sick. Li Gu thought of a fellow villager who had passed away. His symptoms were similar when he was ill. The fellow villager had lung swelling, except for his face, his legs were still swollen. However, Li Gu was not a doctor, and he didn't specialize in this way, so he couldn't be sure what illness the emperor had.

But for the time being, the emperor seemed to be able to stand it, sitting there and talking.

Chai Rong opened his mouth again: "Guo Shao's performance has won 10,000 people. Are they all from the Khitan? Is it true?"

Li Gu hurriedly replied: "There should be no lie. The minister saw the first level transported back from Zhuozhou. There are thousands of levels that he saw with his own eyes. They are all the heads of the Khitan and Xi people...when they passed the Qigou Pass. Han Lingkun and other generals also saw it; with so many carts full of heads, it was terrifying to see!"

When Chai Rong heard the debt, he was a little excited and said, "Guo Shao is a good general."

Li Gu said: "What your Majesty said is that most of the Tiger and Jie troops are infantry. It is no easy task that the infantry and cavalry can capture so many."

Chai Rong nodded and said, "I also told Ye Luming to know that he is a faint monarch. Can I still be afraid of him?"

Having said this, he sighed slightly, but he didn't know what he was sighing.

At this moment, Li Gu took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, the minister met General Guo at Qigou Pass, and he submitted a memorandum for the minister to bring it back to his Majesty. "

The **** Wang Zhong came over, took the envelope from Li Gu, and turned to look at Chai Rong. Seeing Chai Rong nodded slightly, Wang Zhong opened the envelope, pulled out the paper inside, unfolded it, and passed it to Chai Rong's hand.

Chai Rong looked at it again and said, "Wang Zhong, go to you to summon the generals and discuss matters in the lobby later."

...The generals came soon, so Guo Shao didn't reach Xiongzhou on the road, and Han Lingkun was at Qigou Pass. Everyone heard that the emperor had summoned them, and they all rushed in early, because they hadn't seen the emperor for several days, and the soldiers were panicked. If you can see an emperor, you can always feel at ease.

Chai Rong looks very bad, but today's condition is better. He can walk to the public seat in the lobby by himself, and of course he can talk.

After seeing the ceremony, Chai Rong directly asked Wang Zhong to take out Guo Shao's memorabilia without saying anything, and hand it over to the generals for review. There are not many senior generals, but it took a lot of time to pass it around and watch it again. During this process, the hall was very silent and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Chai Rong did not mention Guo Shao's contribution, nor did he say that he ran away from Zhuozhou without authorization, and no one in the class mentioned it.

As a martial artist, Chai Rong's style is also very simple, and immediately said: "Guo Shao recommended Han Lingkun to visit the northern frontiers. I plan to let Han Lingkun withdraw his troops to hegemony and dominate; the army class has returned to the imperial court and will come back at another time. What do you think? "

Zhang Yongde went out and said: "The Khitan masters gathered more than 100,000 troops, and Renbao has marched towards Zhuozhou; from Zhuozhou to Xiongzhou it is only more than a hundred miles away. Your Majesty, now we withdraw troops from North Korea. Will Yi, Xiong, Ba and Mo Zhuzhou? Was attacked back by Khitan?"

Chai Rong gasped for a while enduring the pain, and suddenly sneered: "Liao Kingdom is really ready to attack on a large scale? If Ye Luming really dares to cross the river, I will be accompanied."

After listening, the audience suddenly felt a domineering rush, and they were speechless. The officials simply didn't take Ye Luming as an emperor.

Chai Rong retreated quickly, probably because he was too weak to sit for too long. However, he had already finalized the important matter in a few words. As soon as Han Lingkun reached the hegemony, the Zhou Dynasty army could retreat.

There is no need for discussion and disputes, I am afraid this matter is irrevocable.

... Zhao Kuangyin left the palace unhappily and returned to the camp. He held back and summoned Zhao Pu to see him, and he told Guo Shao's letter what happened before the emperor.

Zhao Pu frowned when he heard it: "Then Guo Shao is too ruthless, so blatantly slander. The official also passed the memorial to the ministers. This is really... the official directly accepted Guo Shao's recommendation and left Han Lingkun. When patrolling, is it because you have listened to Guo Shao's slander?"

Kuang Yin sighed and said, "Everyone knows that Guo Shao has a gap with me. He just slandered and said a few bad things, and everyone thought it was just human nature."

"That's true." Zhao Pu was helpless. "I thought Guo Shao would not be able to walk in Zhuozhou, but unexpectedly it turned into such a situation. It's really hard to deal with that servant... Hey, a military commander can fight for combat? The main staff member around him is called Zuo You, who used to despise him, and I don't know what he came from."

Kuang Yin said: "This matter has little to do with the staff. I woke up in the palace just now. I remember that before the Northern Expedition, the officials said that whoever made great contributions to him in the Northern Expedition was more important. Guo Shao cracked it. The bureau we set up for him captured the minds of officials.

He first ambushed the Liao army and gained a lot, and then he had the credit to retreat. It caused the scheduled thing, and blatantly wrote a letter to the benefit, so I got out... I was beaten up to make me feel like sitting on pins and needles. "

Zhao Pu thought for a moment, nodded and said yes.

Kuang Yin said again: "Although I was worried, but I had to be convinced after losing this round. In this matter, he has the ability to defeat Xiao Simwen, the courage to retreat without authorization, and the ability to grasp the thoughts of officials. There are defenses and offenses... clever! Really clever!"

Kuang Yin pondered for a long time, but then shook his head and muttered: "But it's really not like the methods that generals like Guo Shao can have..."

Zhao Pufuer quietly said: "If something goes wrong with the official family, now let Guo Shao go back to Tokyo, and then join the Queen's inside and outside, the future of the lord is worried."

Kuang Yin nodded thoughtfully and said: "We have been staring at Guo Shao, but actually ignored the other person. If there is no such person, Guo Shao, a general of the guards, will not be able to subordinate to the Tiger Jie army's side, plus Gao Huaide. It’s just that...I think it’s not Guo Shao who laid out this matter, but that person. This person had planned to get Guo Shao back to Beijing with a very clear purpose, and the layout was sophisticated and ingenious.

Zhao Pu suddenly said: "Lord, I have another plan..."

Kuang Yin said directly: "But it doesn't hurt to say."

...

Wei Renpu and Wang Pu left the palace together, and they were also discussing the memorials of the ministers who had just passed on. The two have a good relationship, but they feel like a gentleman's friendship. They rarely interact in private. They just met today.

The two are a principal of the Privy Council and a deputy envoy. Many people once said in front of Wei Renpu: Wang Pu will take his place.

But Wei Renpu didn't mind. Instead, he praised Wang Pu for being talented. If Wang Pu was a clerk, he would be willing to let others. Upon hearing these words, Wang Pu had a rare personal relationship with his colleagues. The two are in a competitive relationship and appreciate each other...Wang Pu appreciates Wei Renpu's demeanor and demeanor, and Wei Renpu appreciates Wang Pu's vision and strategy.

It's really not easy to befriend Wang Pu. Among the hundreds of officials in the court, almost no one has any friendship with Wang Pu... This person is difficult to get along with, and often uses the magical tactics to control people and lacks sincerity. Everyone is careful with him.

At this time, Wang Pu said, "Guo Shao's playing the book is indeed quite strategic."

Wei Renpu said: "General Guo and General Zhao were originally at odds. The letter ridiculed General Zhao for being too strong. It would be no surprise to write words of condemnation." He smiled again: "If I had enemies with Wang Shijun, I also want to speak ill of you in front of officials."

Wang Pu glanced at Wei Renpu next to him, but did not smile. Wei Renpu laughed awkwardly twice, as if he had made a joke that was not funny, and stopped the smile.

Wang Pu said at this time: "I mean his method of attacking Zhao Kuangyin is very strategic." He thought for a while and said again, "but you can't just talk about tactics. 20,000 infantrymen swallowed Xiao Siwen's thousands of cavalry in one go. , Ordinary people can't do it. This thing requires the use of military force and layout strategy. If it is just a martial artist, he has done a great job and rushed back to do it? It's all right now. A word of public praise."

Wei Renpu was noncommittal.

Wang Pu said again: "In fact, it is impossible to balance Guo and Zhao both in Tokyo."

Wei Renpu asked casually: "Why?"

Wang Pu looked around and said in a deep voice, "How can we check and balance? For example, you and I will check and balance each other, because we have no enmity, and we have to divide high and low, so we can coexist."

He can't say that it is inappropriate to give an example, but why does Wei Renpu sound so harsh?

Wang Pu said again: "Guo and Zhao are different~www.readwn.com~ Both of them are suffocating to put each other to death and then hurry up. Once no one is pressed, I am afraid they will do whatever they can to do not follow the rules. Win or lose life and death, and the results will come quickly... Therefore, if officials want to use Guo Shao to contain Zhao Kuangyin, it will be in vain and can only intensify internal fighting."

Wei Renpu tentatively said: "Then the deputy envoy Wang thought, what should be the best?"

Now Wang Pu was noncommittal and was silent.

Wei Renpu knew that Wang Pu was a very thoughtful person. Seeing that he didn't say it, guessing that he was unwilling to say it, he couldn't help but aroused him at the moment: "Could it be that the deputy Wang made it so that one should be placed in the outer town and separate them?"

Wang Pu immediately vetoed: "Let one of them take the elite of the Forbidden Army outside, is it to encourage them in the future civil war, to consume half of the elite of the Forbidden Army... But if they seize the military power and then release it, the people who leave the town will not have it? Can an elite soldier fight another person? What checks and balances are there when it becomes a fish? This is no different from choosing a camp to help one side against the other! Anyway, balance can't be achieved."

After a while, Wang Pu said again: "However, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. As long as the official is here, none of them dare to act rashly."
