Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The cold wind came in from the window at night, and the two booklets on the desk were "smashed". One of them was full of various scribbles. Most of them were Guo Shao's summary and thoughts on the battle of Jingkou; before; For him, the war is a fight and struggle in front of him. Now the war is written in ink on paper. : / / /

The other booklet is written by Guo Shao about water war tactics and specific observations. He had never experienced a decent water war before, so he recorded some of his own experience...In fact, he recorded a lot of things. After the incident, he would hardly look back or sort it out. Others could not understand his ghost symbols, but they always wanted to write them down for some reason.

Guo Shao was lying on the bed, a little excited, and not very comfortable with the shaking of the ship, which made him unable to sleep for a long time.

"Crunch..." Guo Shao turned over and shook the wooden bedboard. He couldn't help but pick up the ink map on the map again. The ink on the paper was very light in color, and the original lines and place names on it were still clear.

The question is, are these things mine? What do I want to do in the future, can I tell the truth?

Guo Shao thought that it would be harder to fall asleep, so he got up in his clothes. After leaving the bed, I really felt the winter chill, especially floating on this river. However, winter came and spring came very quickly. He remembered his wife and concubine who was pregnant in Tokyo, so he sat down at the desk and wrote a letter again.

The letter to Fu Ermei is easy to write, and you can also care about other family members in the letter. However, Guo Shao wrote two full pages of the letter to Fu Jinzhan, and he tore it up after thinking about it... In the end, he only wrote about the progress of the war ahead, which was a good news.

...

The Twelfth Lunar New Year is approaching, but this year's New Year is not destined to be a peaceful holiday for many people. Two or three hundred thousand people from all parts of the Zhou army must be unable to go home and reunite.

Good news kept flying to Guo Shao's Chinese army account.

As expected, the victory has been established, but there are also some surprises. Cao Bin led the Wu Yue army and captured Changzhou and Runzhou (Zhenjiang); the navy division of the Southern Tang Army at Jingkou was besieged and defeated. The losses and surrenders were countless, and it was difficult to know the number at a time.

Han Tong, Li Chuyun, Gao Yanjian and other generals all came to the Zhou Jun camp outside Jiangning City. Guo Shao and a few people waited to meet in the camp. At this moment, I saw a military commander and a few soldiers with a captive coming first, and a horse holding something behind him, like the captive horse.

"I'd like to report to Marshal Guo, this person was caught by our scout ten miles away. He claimed to be Liu Cheng, a general of the Southern Tang Army, who came here to surrender." The general clasped his fist.

When Guo Shao and a few people around him listened, they were immediately attracted and looked at the man in the middle. The man was wearing armor, but the helmet was nowhere to be found, and his head was downcast.

Guo Shao stepped forward and asked, "Are you really Liu Cheng?"

The human said: "I have a seal on me... Your Excellency is the famous General Guo, the coach of the Great Zhou Army?"

"It's my fellow." Guo Shao replied casually and looked at Liu Cheng again. After thinking about Liu Cheng's respectful name and politeness for a moment, it was quite flattering. He thought to himself: Huangfu returned to Jiangning City after the defeat of Jixun. It is said that his family was slaughtered; the defeat of the servant in front of him is not lighter than that of Huangfu Jixun. Is this a crime?

However, Liu Cheng commanded the battlefield on the eastern front of the Southern Tang Dynasty, showing that the reality was all-encompassing. He first acted rashly to transfer troops, causing Jiangyin to be lost and reinforcements ambushed, and then he lost the entire battle. Guo Shao really didn't see what he was outstanding in the war, no matter how high his position in the Southern Tang State, he had already lost interest.

Guo Shao’s attitude towards Liu Cheng is obviously much worse than Lin Renzhao’s. He even said with a mocking tone: "General Liu is very generous. He has lost three big cities to us and ruined the entire downstream river of Southern Tang State. In a hundred thousand. Should I still thank you?"

The crowd couldn't help but laugh after hearing it, and the ridicule was not concealed at all.

Liu Cheng's face was uncertain and embarrassing. In the end, he did not become angry, but said: "The defeated general deeply admires General Guo, who uses his soldiers like a god..."

Shi Yanchao was even more disdainful after hearing this, and said coldly: "Li Yu is really blind, letting such a person be in charge. This servant is inferior to a dog!"

Liu Cheng's complexion suddenly changed, as red as pig liver... Although Guo Shao mocked, he was still euphemistic, and Shi Yanchao's words were a bit ugly!

Shi Yanchao said again: "Why don't you go| die, losing so many people in a defeat and still have the face to live?"

Guo Shao didn't say a word. He not only turned his head and glanced at the vast Yangtze River in the distance to the west, how many lives and national power had been ruined under the misty surface of the water; but the people who controlled the lives of countless soldiers were here to steal their lives. Guo Shao was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't have much hostility at this time. After a while, he exhaled and stopped Shi Yanchao: "Fine, nothing. Come, let General Liu find a place to settle down."

Not long after Liu Cheng was taken away, the generals who were out of the office entered the Chinese army's row. The generals met and exchanged greetings, and then went with Guo Shao to the army account.

Almost all the generals who sent troops this time gathered together and happily narrated the contributions and achievements in the big tent. Even the ordinary soldiers outside the tent were filled with joy. Some pigs and sheep were brought in. Tonight, the army will have a tooth sacrifice.

Wang Pu said calmly and pretendingly: "Jiangning city was captured by our country on all sides, and it is difficult to have reinforcements from far and near. It has become a solitary city, just when it is time to completely destroy the Southern Tang State."

Zuo You asked, "The prince thought, how long can Jiangning City be kept?"

"Unbearable." Wang Pu said without hesitation.

After listening, the generals turned their heads to look at Wang Pu. Guo Shao also agreed with Wang Pu's views and listened to his following with interest. If you say this in public, you might be considered triumphant and arrogant, and underestimate the enemy, but Wang Pu has always been conspiring.

Shi Yanchao said: "Jiangning City has high walls and strong walls. If they defend firmly, it will not be easy to attack the big city."

"Ha!" Wang Pu said with a smile, "The Southern Tang Army will gather heavy troops outside the city and fight with me; otherwise, the city will fall faster. If General Shi doesn't believe it, let's watch the consequences."

He paused and said: "It is easy to defend the city, but it is difficult to defend the morale. At this time, the Nantang Kingdom has been defeated many times, the people in the country have been separated, and are falling apart, leaving only the isolated city. How many people are willing to defend for its lord? Let's send someone to persuade to surrender. If you gather people from all walks of life, surround the city and attack, you will surely overcome the city!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded and felt that it made sense, and Guo Shao nodded. Xindao, no matter what city, must have people to defend the battle, the morale and confidence of the army are very important. Wang Pu is a civilian, but he can directly point out the key points, and he can be regarded as a person who understands the heart. If there is morale, the Hukou reinforcements of the Southern Tang State did not hurt their muscles and bones in Wankou at all, and the loss was very small. It is reasonable to say that even if they suffer a little loss, they can quickly regain their combat effectiveness. It is difficult for the various ministries to integrate together, and the threat is completely lost.

Wang Pu turned his head to look at Guo Shao sitting on the front, "For this reason, the use of troops is no longer the most important thing in the battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Should General Guo be thinking about other things?"

Guo Shao felt that Wang Pu's small eyes were very penetrating, and he was uncomfortable being seen. He immediately remembered the "persuade to enter" and immediately asked, "What should I consider?"

Wang Pu touched his chin, and said calmly: "Of course we must defend and govern the next country."

After hearing this, Guo Shao suddenly said: "The words are reasonable, and what Wang Shijun said is extremely..." But he always felt that Wang Pu seemed to be teasing something, and of course Wang Pu would not say that in public.

Wang Pudao: "General Guo's actions in destroying Shu have obvious effects. Indiscriminate killing is strictly prohibited and the status quo of all parties is temporarily maintained. From the perspective of the old man, these actions can be copied to Southern Tang.

Guo Shao nodded solemnly.

After a group of people talked about it, Guo Shao got up and left his seat, and said that he would meet again in the evening and hold a banquet in the Chinese Army’s Great Account.

Zuo You followed out afterwards and said, "The next official has something to say, can you take a step to speak?"

Guo Shao probably had guessed what Zuo You wanted to say, and looked around. There were people everywhere in the Chinese army's canal, and the tent was just a layer of tarpaulin. Two rows of soldiers are patrolling around with long weapons. He calmly said, "At this moment, I am interested in looking at the river. How about Mr. Zuo accompany me to the riverside?"

Zuo You clasped his fist and said, "I wish to follow the lord."

They rode in a carriage and left the barracks under the **** of a squadron. On a road to the riverside, Guo Shao said to Tan Shitou: "You take the groom and the soldiers and brothers around."

Tan Shitou greeted others to leave the carriage. After a while, the carriage stopped alone on the side of the road, except for two people, only one horse remained.

Guo Shao opened the bamboo curtain and looked at the surface of the Yangtze River in the carriage.

Zuo You opened the mouth and said: "The situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty is a foregone conclusion. It may be a few months before returning to Beijing, but the major events involve a wide range of issues. The lord should make a decision early. At this time, the lord brought the army out and returned to Beijing with the great victory. Time is a good opportunity!"

Guo Shao did not immediately speak. UU reading www. uukánshu.cOM

Zuo You hurriedly said: "The generals dare not mention such important things easily, but they have longed for it in their hearts. The lord delays for too long, but it is not profitable."

Of course, Guo Shao understands, he didn't want to, he thought about it for a long time last night... and even felt that there is no emperor in modern society, and it is not that people have become noble. It is really the result of the environment that is not allowed and the compromise of multiple fights and battles; Most people can't reach that position, or even see it. And now there is an opportunity, why should you give up power and let others check and threaten? The throne means many things, and almost no one can resist such temptations and desires.

However, since ancient times, there are not too many people in the world who want to be emperors. There are very few people who can really sit up and sit firmly, and Guo Shao has to be extra cautious.

His performance at this time was quite different, and he asked Zuo You cautiously: "Mr. Zuo thinks, our time is really ripe?"

Zuo You nodded without hesitation: "Everything is ready, only the east wind."
