Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the afternoon of the next day, Guo Shao, Wang Pu, Li Gu, Zuo You, and Huang Binglian gathered together at Guo Shao’s Mansion. They stayed all afternoon and had dinner here. There are no delicacies of the mountains and seas, and no expensive wine, but Guo Shao said: "The dishes are fried by the chef of our family Yulian. The wine is the wine made in the past few years."

Suddenly the meal rose to a higher level. Everyone chewed slowly, and tasted slowly when drinking. It was more enjoyable than eating in a big restaurant... After all, it is not easy to taste the craftsmanship of other people’s families. It's impossible that the relationship is not there. In particular, Huang Binglian, the push official, looked flattered, and was very careful throughout the meal, not even spilling a drop of soup.

However, Guo Shao only spent a few dollars.

When Guo Shao returned to the backyard where he was living, night had gradually fallen. Seeing him coming back, Mei Ermei went to make a pot of tea. She held the tea in Guo Shao's hand, then put her arms around Guo Shao's neck from behind, and said, "My husband is admiring my craft."

Guo Shao took a sip, and said to his heart: The second sister is good at brewing, and her tea-making skills are indeed worse than Chen Jiali. He didn't have much interest in this Dao at first, but at this time, the people who treat the guests are just tea. After drinking a lot of various kinds of tea, it will taste good or bad.

But he was sitting and being hugged by the second sister. He felt that the back shoulders were soft and very comfortable. Of course, he would not compare other women in front of her. He immediately laughed and said, "It's delicious, I'm enjoying it."

Sure enough, the second sister Fu was very happy. She glanced at Guo Shao's notebook on the table and asked, "Who is Lin Renzhao? Husband won't worry about which beautiful woman is?"

"Hey, it seems that the ancients often used beautiful women to compare talented sages." Guo Shao said.

Fu Ermei said: "Yes, you all know this. The so-called Yiren is on the water side. That Yiren is a beautiful woman, but some private school teachers also say that they are the wise men the king desires... Lin Renzhao is a wise man?"

"He is a martial artist, but a very powerful martial artist." Guo Shao said patiently, "Private Envoy Wang Pu specially arranged for spies to stare at this person. Wang Pu himself also paid attention to his affairs for a long time and prepared a file. In the afternoon. Didn’t we discuss this in the front yard and mentioned this person again. Nantang’s very famous military commander, the second sister has never heard of it?"

Fu Ermei shook her head, and then smiled again: "It turns out that it is from the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it is really the Yiren on the water side. I can't ask for it to toss and turn."

"You put together the Book of Songs like this..." Guo Shaodao, "In the Battle of Huainan, in the battle of Zhengyang, this man was brave and aggressive, and the first emperor praised him. Since then, Wang Pu has been paying attention to this man. You think, Lin Renzhao's position was not high at that time, how can the average middle-level military commander of the enemy country be praised by the first emperor himself?"

Fu Ermei nodded thoughtfully. Guo Shao knew that she was not interested in this, because she was talking to her and she was willing to listen, otherwise she would be uninterested.

She smiled and said: "My husband always thinks about his opponent, I want to be your opponent."

"No, people I like will always think about...when they don't catch up." Guo Shao said jokingly, "the same is true for opponents, only when they haven't beaten him."

Fu Ermei murmured, "Then I knew I wouldn't let you succeed so easily."

Guo Shao suddenly pondered: "Not to mention, it is true that we are too easy to ignore the women we have, and we easily overlook the enemies after the battle. For example, Zhao Kuangyin, what do you think he is doing now... Forget it, I'm still thinking about Lin Renzhao, Li Yu Where will he be used?"

…The next day, Guo Shao stayed in front of the temple all morning, and went straight to the Privy Council. Both Wang Pu and Wei Renpu received very politely, and I am afraid that there are very few generals who go to the Privy Council from time to time except Guo Shao.

He asked Wang Pu for Lin Renzhao's dossier, and he found a room in the Privy Council and looked through it. The things here are not very good.

Wang Pu's record is very detailed, and many small things about this person have been written down. Guo Shao looked at it roughly, then turned it back and took a closer look at some of his intuitively interesting points. One of them caught his attention. Lin Renzhao had friendship with Liu Renzhan.

Of course Guo Shao remembers Liu Renzhan, and the enemies who impressed him are hard to forget. At that time, Liu Renzhan defended Shouzhou, and the army was besieged for a long time... He also seized the opportunity to go out of the city to counterattack. The man was very skilled in using soldiers. If Guo Shao hadn't accidentally used gunpowder to blow up the city wall, he really couldn't help it.

But now Liu Renzhan is no longer the enemy. After being escorted back to Tokyo, although he did not treat him badly, he was kept under house arrest. After all, there might be a war with the Southern Tang State. It would be detrimental to the Zhou army to release such powerful generals back.

After Guo Shao left the Privy Council, he couldn't help but inquire about the place where Liu Renzhan lived, and immediately asked someone to buy some wine and meat, and took his entourage to visit him.

Liu Renzhan is a military commander in his fifties, with gray hair and beard. He doesn't look like a fierce general in charge. He seems to belong to the man who is in the middle of the army. He greeted the door of the living room and said "Guo Du check" when he saw the ceremony.

Guo Shao immediately understood that he had been paying attention to the situation. Right now he clasped his fists and greeted: "Liu Gong is used to living here, what can he lack?"

"Guo Du inspected and visited in person, and there is a long way to go." Liu Renzhan smiled calmly, "Days are quite safe. The old man has gained a lot in the past two years, which is a bit boring. Please!"

Guo Shao followed him into the house and took the opportunity to say: "Since Liu Gong feels boring, why not be an official? Although the first emperor is no longer there, the queen mother is also generous in giving rewards."

Liu Renzhan said frankly: "The old man has expressed his thoughts earlier. The Liu family was deeply blessed by the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is really impossible for him to abandon the Lord and seek glory. But now he is living in the world."

After Guo Shao listened, it was difficult to persuade him...especially the older people, they were very stubborn. It was not easy for him to survive back then, probably because people had an instinctive desire to survive.

Guo Shao had no choice but to change the subject and asked: "If the Zhou army attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liu Gong thought how to manage the Great Zhou after the war, but what advice can he tell the Queen Mother?"

Liu Renzhan thought for a while and said: "You can't be addicted to killing people, and it's best not to change government orders, laws, and taxes too quickly."

Guo Shao heard these remarks similar to Wang Pu’s expedient measures to maintain the status quo, and immediately worshipped: "Although Liu Gong is free, today's words are still virtuous to the people of Southern Tang Dynasty."

Liu Renzhan couldn’t help saying: “Guo Du’s remarks seemed to attack the Southern Tang State as a search for something, but the old man felt that it might not be so easy. The road is difficult for the State of Shu, but the southern Tang Dynasty is not in danger of the great river. There are dozens of people in the State of Shu. I didn't know the soldiers in Nian, but the Nantang State had been fighting intermittently and never stopped. The monarchs and ministers were of the same mind, which was not vulnerable."

Guo Shao didn't want to brag in front of him, but echoed: "The stability of the country is not the danger of mountains and rivers, but the morality of the people, Liu Gong's words are very reasonable."

Liu Renzhan was a little moved after hearing this: "I just sigh that we can't serve as ministers with the court~www.readwn.com~ Maybe there will be a chance." Guo Shao laughed, "If the Lord of Southern Tang comes to Tokyo as a minister of the Great Zhou, Liu Gongbian But if you join with the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty to submit, isn't there no grievances between the monarchs and the ministers?"

Liu Renzhan was silent.

Upon seeing this, Guo Shao felt that he had a good conversation with himself and did not want to spoil the atmosphere, so he immediately asked: "Liu Gong remembers Lin Renzhao?"

"Lin Huzi." Liu Renzhan said suddenly, "This man is a good man, but his foundation is too weak. At first he was only a servant of the military generals of Fujian, and the country was destroyed. The old man wanted to promote him and couldn't do it overnight. Later, Pan Chengyou was only able to promote him. Recommend him, there is a chance to do meritorious service."

Guo Shao asked in detail: "Who is Pan Chengyou?"

He asked all the details and the two talked for a long time before Guo Shao left. r1058
