Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Zuo You reported on his errand before Guo Shao. Guo Shao listened carefully and praised: "Mr. Zuo did a great job." Then he immediately said: "Zhou Xingfeng surrendered."

There are also Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi, and Jingniang in the hall, all with unexpected expressions. Zhou Xingfeng was Wuping Jiedushi, who seized part of the original Chu State (Hunan). Guo Shao saw the reactions of several people and said: "I only learned about this this morning. I didn't expect it to be so fast. The Southern Tang State transfer left Lin Renzhao, and Li Chuyun sent people around Langzhou to find out the benefits of isolation and helplessness. Whenever it's true, it will drop."

Yang Biao hummed: "Li Chuyun has real skills, and Shi Yanchao has nothing to say this time."

Zuo You said: "If the upper reaches of the river are calmed down, the court will soon start war against the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

"In the morning, I have discussed this matter in Jinxiangdian." Guo Shao said, "There is no change in the strategy, and it is difficult to have another way... the strategy of the three-way siege. The west road follows the river from the upper reaches, and the east road edicts. Wu Yueguo sent troops to attack his belly, and the main force of the North Road Forbidden Army attacked the lower reaches from Jiangbei."

Yang Biao raised his head and said, "The road of Southern Tang State is better than that of Shu State. Everyone just waits for the money to be promoted."

When Luo Mengzi heard the money, he touched his head and smiled.

"The deployment will take some time, General Yang couldn't rush." ​​Zuo You smiled.

Guo Shaoxun thinks that it is now August, and the Southern Tang has a huge territory. After the Southern Tang is captured, it should be at least winter or next spring...It is the time when the plum blossoms bloom. For a while, he said less.

A group of people talked about the war for a long time, and they were no longer interested in laughing at Meng Chang. After a long time, Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi left the mansion, but Zuo You did not leave. At this time, he calmly said to Jingniang: "I have something private and want to say a few words to the lord, Jingniang..."

Jingniang turned around and went out without saying anything.

Guo Shao smiled and said, "What can't even Jing Niang hear?"

Zuo You sat down by the coffee table and pondered for a long time before he said: "The master's contribution to destroying the Kingdom of Shu, and then destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty, is the greatest contribution but beyond recognition..."

Guo Shao closed his smile and said calmly, "Promotion is meaningless to me."

"That's true. Even Li Chuyun, Yang Biao and other generals of the imperial army have little room for promotion." Zuo You said slowly, with a balance between his voices. "There is a question in the next. , Why bother to fight in the South and the North?"

Although Zuo You is an aide, he is too familiar after all. Guo Shao would not tell him anything for the sake of the overall situation of the world and the country's prosperity. He is just a waste of time in officialdom. He thought for a while: "When you reach a high place, you want to stand firm."

When Guo Shao heard this, he had already guessed what Zuo You wanted to say, but he still pretended to be confused, and listened to Zuo You want to persuade him.

Zuo You nodded: "Not only does the lord think so, but everyone thinks so. No one wants to sit in a high position and get kicked off after a taste... But who can protect our status? Everyone is working hard in front. Fighting hard, the Emperor of the Great Zhou in the deep palace cannot see or understand; the generals can only gain the trust of the lord and find their own footholds in front of the lord."

Zuo You sternly said in a low voice: "Many people hope that the lord will go further..."

Guo Shao snorted, indicating that he was listening. He was also pondering Zuo You's words in his heart. In fact, there is no need for Zuo You to persuade him, Guo Shao had this idea for a long time... he has reached this position, and only the emperor with a good reputation is the safest position. Otherwise, as a courtier, the greater the power, the more dangerous.

But there are so many people in the world who want to be emperors, and they don't want to be able to sit securely. Before Guo Shao had self-knowledge, he had enough military power, and his prestige and the recognition of the people of the world were almost the same; after the extermination of Shu and Tang, the outlook may change.

Zuo You continued to persuade: "Nowadays, generals are only willing to obey the strong who can conquer the battle, that is, the lord. The lord can convince people with morals. Throughout the Manchus, there is no better than the lord to make everyone live. People."

Zuo You's persuasion was not all for Guo Shao, he guessed that he also wanted to rely on the merits of support to honor the prince and worship the ancestor of Xiangguangzong Yaozu; in this world, warriors can fight hard and make merits, and the quickest way for civil officials is to support the dragon.

However, Zuo You was still quite good at talking, and after a few words, Guo Shao was very happy to hear... there was a joy of being understood. Many people questioned Guo Shao's "woman's benevolence" as a military commander, but the accumulation of time has proved the benefits of this approach. The long-term "softness of heart" is certainly not conducive to his establishment of authority, but precisely because of this, everyone does not feel threatened; after all, even Shi Yanchao is fine, and they feel that they generally will not be forced into ruin.

This kind of thing is like once Guo Shao was threatened by Zhao Kuangyin; if Guo Shao did not believe that failure would lead to death without a place to bury him, as long as he could see a safe retreat, it would be difficult for him to take an extreme step... It should be exactly this way; there may be people who are unwilling to betray the Zhou Dynasty, but it can be seen that Guo Shao will not do anything to them, so it is difficult for anyone to be willing to work hard.

Guo Shao thought. Zuo You said again: "When you risk your death and make a statement, you feel that the time when the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed is the best time. In the past two years, the lord has put down the rebellion in Jinzhou, attacked Shu, Wuping, and Nantang. Victory, according to experience, the people of the world will be accustomed to feel that the victor in every battle must be the lord! At this time, going further is what everyone hopes..."

"Not everyone in the world wants me to be in position, only people in our circle have such a willingness." Guo Shao said in a deep voice, "There must be some people who are extremely reluctant, and some people are watching the fire from across the bank. We must not be overwhelmed and act rashly."

Although Guo Shao did not agree, he did not refute it either. His attitude on such serious matters has already appeared to be very positive...Even the rightful successor would have to refuse three times before he could not agree to it, let alone usurp the throne.

As soon as Guo Shao expressed his opinion, he found that Zuo You's face was flushed with red light, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed. This guy is more anxious than himself! It is true that Zuo You is also a legend compared to most people in the world. A few years ago, he was still an infamous little official, and in a blink of an eye he had the opportunity to give Hou Baixiang; this is the dream of many people.

Zuo Youming has been very obvious, but he pretended to be calm and said: "The lord's words are extremely correct, so I will persuade him in private, and he dare not be abrupt. This matter must be considered in the long term."

"I see." Guo Shao said calmly, "I am still loyal to the Zhou court and the Queen Mother. I am not a last resort and I am not willing to do too much."

At this moment, Lu Chengyong walked to the door. The two stopped talking for now.

Lu Chengyong uttered a word at the door before he walked in, took a letter and presented it, saying: "A letter sent by Mrs. Dong (Gao's)."

Guo Shao took a look at it, and the letter said that there was something very important and that he should meet as soon as possible.

At this time, Zuo You got up and said, "I will go back and then consider, and I will see the lord in two days."

Guo Shao reminded: "This matter has only reached the initial stage. Don't spread the secrets."

"Lord, don't worry, I understand." Zuo You bowed.

Guo Shao walked a few steps back and forth in the living room, pondering Zuo You's words while thinking about Gao's letter, wondering what matters. At this time, Jingniang walked in again, and she picked up the teapot and added tea to Guo Shao's cup.

"I have to go to Dong Zun's house." Guo Shao said, closing his mind.

Jingniang then went to ask someone to prepare a carriage and go out with Guo Shao. The attendants around him are usually such people, Jingniang, Lu Chengyong, Dong Er and others.

Sitting on the carriage, Guo Shao opened the bamboo curtain and looked outside. The ancient scenery flashed past his eyes, and what Zuo You said was still circling in his mind.

His heart fluctuates greatly, occasionally turning to high places, he feels that he is omnipotent. The entire age and the whole world are operating under his own will. He can change and create at will, and let everything follow his own. Mind revolves; occasionally turning to the trough, he is a little frightened, afraid that he can't control the situation and things are beyond his ability. After all, Guo Shao is only a young man in his twenties, and he is also a young man even if he counts his previous life experience.

This kind of panic is vaguely like a young man who has just grown up and is about to leave home to go out and wander around. He no longer has the protection of his parents and teachers. He will be responsible for his actions... and now he is not only responsible for his own destiny. And the people around him, and even the entire country. There is no longer a foresighted powerhouse to bear the destiny of the country, he will dominate the direction of the world.

Excitement and tremendous pressure existed in Guo Shao's heart at the same time.

At this moment, Dong Zunzhi's house arrived. When Guo Shao got out of the carriage, he saw Gao already waiting in the gate early. When she saw Guo Shao, her expression was very strange, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Sister Yi, don't come here unharmed?" Guo Shao said.

Gao made a blessing, and then said: "You finally came, I have important matters to discuss with you."

Guo Shao followed Gao into a living room, and Gao refused the slaves and asked them to stop tea. She owed her body immediately, approaching Guo Shao and whispered: "I'm pregnant!"

Guo Shao had been absent, thinking of other things, he was taken aback when he heard this.

Gao stared at his face: "It's General Guo's...Last birthday~www.readwn.com~Do you believe me? I really only had that kind of thing with you..."

Guo Shao said immediately: "Of course it is mine."

Gao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said quietly: "I was very worried. I didn't expect you to be such a responsible person. But, I am a widow...what should I do?"

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "Change a place to live in seclusion, and raise the child after birth."

"Where to live in seclusion?" Gao frowned.

Guo Shao said: "This matter is a bit sudden. I will think of a good way first, and then come to pick up sister Yi. Don't worry, I will handle it properly."
