Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sun was already west, and Guo Shao didn't stay in Jinxiang Palace for too long. Bi·qi·zhong·wen·net·first·post

Fu Jinzhan thought for a long time, sighed faintly, and then came Cao Tai giving a few words. Cao Tai left Jinxiang Temple immediately.

...... A dozen or so riding a horse-drawn carriage from Donghua Gate out of the imperial city, went up the horse street, and soon arrived at the Office of the Government of the Palace. A thin **** came down from the carriage, and his temples were gray. It was Cao Tai. He showed his waist card to the guard at the gate of the government office and took a look.

The guard barely looked at the sign, and immediately said, "Caogong Kilometer, please."

Cao Tai said: "The miscellaneous family is just passing by the front office of the palace. I want to see Zhang Du for some personal matters, so I won't go to the lobby."

Soon Cao Tai arrived at Zhang Yongde's study. In the past, the generals of Zhang Yongde's status met the eunuchs with a high-level appearance, not a bird at all. But now Zhang Yongde looks very humble and very polite in his words.

... Zhang Yongde's current position is really like a fire. The most senior general of the Forbidden Army, with countless eyes staring up and down, inside and outside, he walks carefully on thin ice every day.

Especially not long ago, from the commander of the senior military commander Ma Junsi to Dutou, more than 70 people were killed in one day. Zhang Yongde really smelled danger. At that time, he wanted to resign from the military position that was inspected in front of the palace, but he was still faintly unwilling.

Taizu Zhou appreciated him, and he was promoted at that time; although he was only thirty years old, he is now almost the first general in the imperial army since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty...It is indeed a bit reluctant to get everything now.

He was just one step away from reaching the sky. Although he was afraid, he wanted to stay in this position without doing anything.

At this time, Cao Tai whispered: "The queen mother remembered one thing, and wanted to ask Zhang Du to check in private."

When Zhang Yongde heard that it was the Queen Mother, he hurriedly said: "What does the Queen Mother want to ask?"

Cao Tai said: "Zhao Kuangyin made that dragon robe, is it actually prepared for Zhang Du's inspection?"

Zhang Yongde's face suddenly became pale, "Chuck..." The ceramic cover on the teacup in his hand suddenly made a noise. He hurriedly put the teacup down and said sternly: "I never knew Zhao Kuangyin's plot! If I knew it, I would definitely tell. The first emperor!"

"Eh, of course of course." Cao Tai said calmly, "Of course the Queen Mother believes that Zhang Du does not know about it."

Zhang Yongde said solemnly: "Zhao Kuangyin has killed even the top-ranking generals of the chaotic party. If I am an accomplice, can I still survive?"

Cao Tai said: "Zhang Du's inspection is reasonable, and the treason has nothing to do with you... But the queen mother is just a guess. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin definitely wanted to participate in Zhang Du's inspection, but Zhang Du's inspection I went to control the crane army in advance, and he didn't find anyone."

Zhang Yongde was startled, it was indeed like that. At that time, what if he had guessed Zhao Kuangyin's attempt and hurriedly left the palace office?

At that time, Zhang Yongde thought about it again and again, and felt that Zhao Kuangyin was going to raise troops, and it was the most reliable to force himself together...In this situation, Zhao Kuangyin could not do it alone.

"This... I really don't know." Zhang Yongde cautiously said, "Maybe he has such a plan, but I will never be in trouble with him."

Cao Tai clasped his fist and said, "The Queen Mother feels the same way. The miscellaneous family just asks in private. Please Zhang Du check it. Don't blame it. This won't delay you much. The miscellaneous family originally had other things, just passing by the Office of the Secretary of the Palace."

Zhang Yongde sent away Cao Tai, hurriedly closed the door of the study, sat on the chair and exhaled a few times, exaggeratedly reaching out to wipe his chest. A moment later, he stood up again and paced back and forth in the room. Does the Queen Mother feel that the previous door clearance is not enough and wants to start with me?

Every morning when he comes straight up, he has to say goodbye to his wife and children, fearing that he will not return once he goes. After more than a month without incident, he gradually relaxed a little, and he hadn't had time to look at his family more this morning...

Zhang Yongde had the courage to think about it for a long time, but he felt it was impossible...He was the brother-in-law of the first emperor and the uncle of the new emperor. At the moment of the mutiny, he did not make any threats to them, so he could not do too much!

Zhang Yongde took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Suddenly, if there is a realization, perhaps power is not the most important thing in the world. It is a precious day to enjoy the happiness of family with his wife and children... He gradually saw it a little bit open.

Thinking left and right, Zhang Yongde felt that it was too dangerous to check this position in front of the hall, and he could not sit down anymore. I immediately picked up the pen and wanted to write my resignation. After thinking about it, I felt that it was the most sincere to just lie at home and claim that I was sick. I couldn't get out of the bed. How could I be a general?

...

Guo Shao left the imperial city and went to the left garrison of the Tiger Jie Army.

In the afternoon, the military discipline of the barracks was very loose. Except for those who were on duty at the gates and walls, the garrisons on the camp were piled in piles, and sometimes there were soldiers making a place for cuju on the school grounds.

The largest group of people was not far from the camp gate. They were still yelling. Suddenly they saw cavalry coming in with a carriage, knowing they were generals, and they stood up and stopped the noise. At this time Guo Shao got out of the carriage, and all the soldiers clasped their fists and said, "See the lord."

Guo Shao touched his shoulder and asked casually, "What are you waiting for?" No one spoke, he gave a relaxed smile: "I used to be the same as the soldiers."

A round-faced man said in a convenient way: "Everyone is talking about Youzhou, we are all from Hebei."

"Your name is Zhang Ying." Guo Shao pointed at the man.

The man named Zhang Ying said with joy: "I didn't expect the lord to remember his humble position."

Guo Shao said, "You were a rancher in Youzhou, raising horses for the Khitan people. During the Northern Expedition, you led the crowd to vote. Am I right?"

"Exactly." Zhang Ying said busy.

Guo Shao stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, stroked his back, and muttered for a moment, "Remember, Han'er is never a slave."

After listening to Zhang Ying's expression, the simpler the words, the better the military commanders would understand. Sure enough, he immediately turned his head and shouted, "Han'er is never a slave!" All the troops were angry and shouted together, and the voice shook the barracks.

The sentence that Guo Shao temporarily thought of, the effect was unexpectedly good. At this time, he realized that this sentence was indeed appropriate... In this era, there is no distinction between ethnic groups, but only the distinction between Hua and Yi. The word Han'er has a very borderline characteristic, and only the areas with foreign nationalities, for It was only after the discrimination that the Han people were called Han'er, and the mainland basically didn't say it; at first it was a derogatory term from foreigners, but now it is just a neutral term. So when talking about Han'er, everyone naturally thinks of the people who were enslaved by Liao in Hebei.

More than one hundred strong men in Youzhou shouted together, and the momentum was spectacular, attracting many soldiers in the barracks to look sideways.

The shouts outside made many military commanders come out one after another, UU reading www.uukanshu.com saw Guo Shao naturally approached him. At this time, the people in Youzhoudu hadn't calmed down yet, they were still shouting.

Guo Shao looked back at the generals in the left side of the Tigers, everyone looked at him. He then said: "Does'China' continue to step into turmoil and repeat the mistakes of (later) Jin dynasty's cession of territories and vassals, or will it have long-term peace and shame?"

The generals clasped their fists and bowed, and talked in a mess.

Guo Shao thought about Li Jixun's matter, and said casually: "Shi Zhonggui of the Jin Dynasty also wanted to get rid of the oppression of the Liao State, but the internal strife and strength were not enough and the country was finally destroyed. Now the country is divided and internal friction can only be the pain of the relatives and the enemies. !"

The generals agreed.

Although Guo Shao said so, he thinks that Li Jixun will not take the initiative to reconcile because of some great principles. The fact is that Huaizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River is desperately preparing for war...Any general in Li Jixun’s position will take a chance in civil war, and I won't be moved by a few words of righteousness; only the soldiers in front of him who are his own can believe Guo Shao's words.
