Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The carved wood windows are a bit old in the simplicity, but they are very elegant in the East. The calligraphy and ink painting on the wall are unique decorations.

But there are two knives, forks and spoons on the table, the forks are three-pronged made of sandalwood.

Guo Shao said: "In the view of ancient books, the emperor Zhou used this kind of tableware to eat meat in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he asked people to imitate two sets."

With a look of interest, Dong Zunzuo replied earnestly: "Your Majesty's martial arts is conquering the world, so he read the scriptures. These food utensils are an eye-opener for the minister."

After waiting for a long time, two commoner waiters came up with two hot pots of fried lamb with brown soup on them. Then Wang Zhong carefully placed two glass cups and poured the purple-red wine into the cups.

Guo Shao picked up the knife and fork, held the lamb on the plate with a wooden fork in his left hand, and saw a piece of mutton skillfully with his right hand. A piece of meat was dipped in the soup with a fork, and then he put it in his mouth and chewed.

The cut surface saw that the mutton was dark red, and there was an illusion of staleness. Anyway, it was not very good-looking, because Ge was shot to death with a bow and arrow without bleeding, and the blood remained in the meat.

When chewed in the mouth, there is also a feeling of softness and lack of meat fiber texture.

But what is needed is this kind of taste, which reminds people of how this sheep died and where it came from

"There are pepper noodles in the soup, avoiding the fishy, ​​I didn't feel the **** pleasure of revenge" Guo Shao said, and immediately cut another piece and put it straight in his mouth, chewing and closing his eyes intoxicated.

The quiet house exudes an elegant and scholarly atmosphere, but Guo Shao here is like seeing a crazy iron horse, blood-spattering blades, and deafening screams of fighting.

Guo Shao exhaled, opened his eyes, and saw Dong Zunhao also drawing in the same way and starting to use the knife and fork.

Dong Zunhao was full of interest and his expression was devoted. No matter what strange things Guo Shao does, the people who accompany him will be flattered and will truly devote himself to it, making Guo Shao feel very comfortable, which is probably one of the benefits of being an emperor.

Dong Zunzuo is also very serious about his studies. He was originally a son of a family, and his sitting posture was very decent, and his archery hands were also very stable, so he was able to learn well.

Guo Shao picked up the wine glass, Dong Zunhao hurriedly raised the glass cup with both hands, "Your Majesty Xie Xie gave a banquet, let's do it first." After speaking, he raised his head and gurgled and drank the glass of wine.

Guo Shao smiled, and Dong Zunzheng was still a little nervous. He turned his eyes slightly, and Wang Zhong stepped forward to pour the wine for Dong Zunzuo again.

But Guo Shao was not in a hurry. He took a sip and tasted the mellow and sweet taste, which was the opposite of the salty taste of lamb. This wine reminds people of the gentleness and beauty of women.

At this time, Dong Zunhao and Guo Shao talked about giving the prey to the villagers and so on, and the two had a very happy conversation.

Guo Shao was tasting the various flavors in it carefully. The calm mood after relaxation was a breath of relief after a long time of tension.

After lunch, Guo Shao took out a piece of origami paper from his sleeve and handed it to Dong Zunzuo. He said lightly: “I have approved the appointment letter of the Privy Council. General command."

Dong Zunhao hurriedly knelt on one knee, took it with his hands, and said: "The final will be fulfilled by your majesty."

Seeing Guo Shao nodded, Dong Zunzhuo stopped speaking. When even stood up and fisted to give thanks to resign, he stepped back a few steps, then turned and walked out of the door, and he couldn't help but glance back at the door.

Seeing sunlight coming in from the carved window, the emperor sitting on the chair with a gentle smile was also looking at himself. The bright and majestic person, with eyes like spring breeze, made Dong Zunzuo's heart bright, as if he had seen a glorious future.

In Youzhou South Campus, Xiao Siwen's calm expression was quite veiled. He thinks that Yeluxiu is not able to guard Youzhou, blame him for nothing to provoke Zhou Guo's anger and trouble his upper body.

"The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are thousands of miles away from the north and the south, and the south has a population of billions of trillions. Today, Zhou is a powerful country, and it is out of time for Daliao to avoid the procrastination."

Brother Yeluxiu refused to accept: "Guo Tiejiang is a very strong master"

Xiao Siwen said: "Guo Tiejiang started at the end of the day. Today, you and I have seen the way of advance and retreat and the use of troops. In the past few years, he has fought in the South and North, and even destroyed several countries, and has repeatedly defeated the rebellion by thunder. With a humble body, he was quickly promoted to the throne and defeated the more powerful generals Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde and others. They could gather the chaotic forces of the Zhou Dynasty, and persuade the people to control the civil and military forces. It can be seen that there are also in his rule. Some mental means."

Xiao Siwen paused, and said in a more serious tone: "Regardless of whether Guo Tiejiang is a strong master or not, the minister thinks that the rise and fall of the Great Liao depend on this person."

After hearing this, Yeluxiu became angry from shame, and repeatedly called for battle in front of Khan.

In this battle, he did not make any contribution, leading his troops to attack Tianjin and Zhuo, with his fists hitting the wall; he went to encircle and harass Zhou Junqingqi in the rear, but rushed into the air. Brother Yeluxiu was very angry at Xiao Siwen’s words, but only by speaking with record can he be hard-hearted

Unexpectedly, the ministers didn't support him

Yeluxiu looked back around, everyone averted their eyes. Brother Yeluxiu hurriedly attacked his heart, and suddenly sneered on his face. He said in his heart: When this commander won, you all applauded the massacre Yizhou. Now if you lose a little bit, you turn your face and refuse to recognize people.

At this time, a minister said: "Zhou State is firmly on the Zhuo, Gu'an, Xin, and Tianjin defense lines, and it is difficult for Daliao to break through. It is better for the army to retreat to the grassland for the time being. Zhou people may build new cities in Wenyu River, Sanggan River and other places, and wait for them to divide their forces. Guard, we will look for opportunities to defeat each one."

"Finally found a good excuse to lure the enemy into division, and defeat each one" Yeluxiu sneered, he was the person who was the least willing to give up.

The minister's face was a little stiff: "Otherwise, Daliao tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of horses are stationed in Youzhou. If things go on like this, it will only be so stalemate if there is any benefit in consuming Daliao's national products.

Brother Yeluxiu said: "Don’t be short-sighted. Many of you enjoy the products of Youzhou every year. It is said that Youzhou City is on the bank of the Sanggan River. Once the Zhou people build a city on the bank of the river north of Jinzhou, they can attack Youzhou directly. ; Now under the threat of our army, Zhou Guo dares to come up and build the city."

Brother Yeluxiu turned his head and looked at Xiao Siwen coldly, "I remember Deputy Envoy Xiao once said that Youzhou is very important to Daliao."

Xiao Siwen could not speak.

The Liao army spent the winter in Youzhou, but has not been able to effectively attack on a large scale. Zhou Guoren also clung to the southern frontier defense line, without any movement and calmness. The battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops is like a pool of stagnant water

The two armies of Zhou and Liao had finished the Lantern Festival in the Hebei battlefield. The Liao army finally withdrew the main cavalry from Youzhou and quickly moved north. The majority of his infantry and his equipment remained in Youzhou, and Zhou Jun had nothing to do with the Liao army who had left when he learned the news.

Guo Shao immediately called the ministers and generals to discuss matters in Bazhou.

He first met with Prime Minister Li Gu alone, and asked Li Gu to dispatch supplies to the south in the near future. First, he would transport the food by land to supplement the city's stored grain; as soon as the river ice melts, he would transport grain, grass and construction materials northward.

In the lobby, a large picture has been hung on the wooden frame on the upper side.

After the people paid the courtesy, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, walked to the wooden frame and pointed a simple line on the map with his fingers: a "Y" shape that was approximately tilted to the left.

"This is the Sanggan River, and the Wenyu River to the east." Wei Renpu said straight to the point, and took a brush to draw a circle on the middle of the word "A" and the branch on the left, "Youzhou City, roughly here, To the south of the city lies the Sanggan River, and the water from the moat also draws the water from this river."

Everyone watched attentively, the picture was easy to understand. Guo Shao calmly waited for Wei Renpu to explain the general plan of the former camp.

Wei Renpu swayed freely, pointing his finger at the word "Ya", "When the river is frozen in spring, three cities and three cities are built here between the two rivers. The west is Yicheng, the middle is Xuanren, and the east is the Acropolis.

As long as the three cities are completed, the Hebei battlefield will form two balanced lines of defense between the river network, the five cities of Zhuo, Gu'an, Yi, Xuan and Wei on the north, and the five cities of Yi, Xiong, Ba, Xin and Tianjin on the south.

The northern line uses Xuanren City as the attacking Youzhou base camp. It is located in the middle of the Y-shaped river. The army starts from Xuanren City and heads west along the north bank of the Sanggan River until it reaches the Youzhou city. The remaining four cities provide shelter for the two lanes and two wings of the northern line.

The five cities on the southern route defend the river and water transport, forming a depth of offense and defense. It allows the army to attack and retreat, with plenty of room for maneuver. "

When Guo Shao looked back around, no one said anything. Li Chuyun and other generals knew that this was done by Guo Shao, and would not easily object, but such a method, the cost is difficult to estimate Guo Shao is the emperor, he can get the money, the generals have no opinion.

Wei Renpu waited for a while, and then said: "In this case, the elite cavalry of the Forbidden Army stationed in the north of Xuanren City, and built pontoon passages on the Sanggan River and Wenyu River, and set up infantry camps for defense.

Before the army of the Liao Kingdom went south, step up the construction of the city. According to the method of the two cities of Xin and Tianjin, first build military fortifications and outer forts, which can be completed within one month; first stand on your heels, and then build the city walls.

Zhucheng Tubao on the southern line was demolished, and the main force of the township army moved north to fortification and defense on the northern line.

Before the main force of the Liao army went south, all the infantry and township units retreated to the southern line for rest, and the main cavalry was stationed on the northern line. The arrangement is very good, you all understand."

Everyone worshipped: "The ministers are pleased to follow your majesty's will."

When Guo Shao saw this, he got up and left the meeting. He has always maintained the more cheerful style of being a military commander. After talking about leaving, unless there is a dispute, it is meaningless to take too long.

People immediately bowed and shouted, "Send your majesty."

Guo Shao retired to the detention room, and received a memo from Tokyo, mentioning that the great cannibal envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty had come to Tokyo to worship. Guo Shao suddenly remembered the fine cannibalistic sailing boat, and he wrote a letter to send back to Tokyo without hesitation.

If you have a good sailboat, you may be able to choose more strategically that cannibalism can sail to East Asia from places as far away as Arabia; then, the same sailboat sailing near the Bohai Sea is not very easy
