Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Just after the New Year, the Zhou Dynasty began to actively prepare for war to the west. In Tokyo, there were merchants from Guanzhong, discussing that the states were allocating food to Fengxiang; in early February, another scholar from Qinzhou rushed to Tokyo not far away. The emperor asked to send troops to recover Qinzhou and save the people.

The emperor thought of the suffering of the people in his homeland, so he accepted the request of the Qinzhou scholars and decided to send his troops to the west.

In mid-February, the emperor adopted the recommendation of Wang Pu and other prime ministers to appoint four people. With Wang Jing as the chief general of the West Expedition; Xiang Xun led the Zhen'an elite soldiers, and Guo Shao led the guards of the twelve infantry commanders, who were divided into lieutenants; the Hakka province ambassador Zan Jurun was in charge of the conquest and the diplomacy.

Wang Jing waited in Fengxiang, and Xiang Xun soldiers left Zhenan. Guo Shao and the Hakka ambassador led the forbidden troops out of Tokyo, and the people from all walks of life Keri gathered to Fengxiang. The next day, Guo Shao went to the Department of Guards and received an explicit order from the Privy Council: to leave in five days.

The Commander Li Zhongjin and Du Yuhou Shi Yanchao of the Department of Guards personally met Guo Shao and the generals of the Tiger Jie Army at the official office. The commander of the First Army and the Second Army of the Tiger Jie Army and the Du Yuhou and others inspected on the spot. The Privy Council’s order for the transfer of troops was issued, and then returned to the barracks to understand the whole army...As always, the middle and lower-level soldiers only need to follow orders; the generals above have confirmed that the transfer is true, and if there is an error, they will not be able to get out of the relationship.

Guo Shao went home first as usual, and while informing Li Chuyun to come and meet, he prepared the things to accompany him. Yulian helped him pack his clothes and daily utensils. He only chose the armor and weapons to bring. With a short dagger, two melee knives, and three bows of different strengths, Guo Shao didn’t use long weapons well, so he didn’t bring them. Last time in the inner hall, he issued a brand new armor, a ring-lock armor, and he was ready to go on the expedition. Wearing this pair, there is another pair of chest armor he is also preparing to wear... In battle, swords and arrows do not have eyes, and it is worth it to wear two layers.

Jingniang asked to follow her again. Guo Shao was reluctant to take the woman in the army, but she said that she knew some Taoist people in Shu, and Guo Shao thought for a while and stopped opposing it.

At this moment, Huang Tiejiang came in and reported: "Someone outside the door asks to see, it's a woman who passed this thing in."

Guo Shao took it and unfolded the rolled paper curiously. It was a six-to-seven-inch piece of paper with two characters written on it. Guo Shao recognized as an ancient version of the semi-literate: Li's. He casually said: "It's called a famous post, a door-like appearance." Guo Shao really received this stuff for the first time. People like Zuo You and others who come to the door often knocked on the door, and they didn't pay attention to it at all.

When Huang Tiejiang said it was a woman, Guo Shao suddenly guessed that it was Li Chuyun’s daughter Li.

Guo Shao paced for two steps, remembering what Ms. Li said when she was in Fengxiang: Thirty-two days without seeing her, like thirty-two years... The little lady had some affection, she was Li Chuyun’s daughter again, and Guo Shao felt that he should meet, anyway. Say something to relieve her.

He was waiting for Huang Tiejiang to invite Lady Li in, and thinking that it would not be good for an unmarried woman to enter the door alone, he stuffed the paper in his pocket into his pocket and turned around.

Guo Shao walked out of the gate and saw a carriage leaning on the street, with a groom sitting in front of him, and a maid standing outside. Guo Shao recognized the maid and determined that the person was Li Chuyun's daughter, so he stepped forward alone and said, "But Lady Li is visiting?"

A crisp voice inside said: "Let's talk in another place."

"There is a shop on the street, I have eaten there. This is not the time to eat, the upstairs must be very quiet, how about drinking tea and some snacks in the upper shop?" Guo Shao said.

Li's voice said: "Listen to the arrangements made by Ambassador Guo."

So Guo Shao walked slowly with the carriage towards the street, not far anyway. They walked to the entrance of the wine shop, Guo Shao touched the bag, found out a bunch of money and handed it to the maid: "You want to eat something and buy it yourself."

The maid smiled with joy on her face, and nodded without speaking. The little Er in the shop was lying on the table and lazily resting. He found that there was a customer. When he raised his head, he couldn't help but look at Li twice. At this time, the woman was still relatively free. Li looked good, but she didn’t. It will not make people feel strange.

Guo Shao and Li found a place to sit down and ordered two cups of tea, one with fried almonds and one glutinous rice dessert.

Li lowered his head and didn't speak, and his hands squeezed the corners of his clothes vigorously. This situation affected Guo Shao and made him feel a little nervous. He had never talked about love in his previous life, had no time and no extra money. That kind of experience only came from Yulian. For a while, his mind was blank and he didn't know what to say. The atmosphere of the cold scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.

At this moment, Guo Shao is not as good as Li, and Li took the initiative to speak, embarrassingly said: "I sewed two pairs of insoles, one for my father, and one for you; the martial artist is heavy when he wears armor, and the insoles should be soft and strong. , Most people don't sew like this... I heard that you are going to expedition, so I rushed to give it to you." After she said, she took out a beautiful pink silk bag.

Guo Shao froze there, not knowing what it was like.

Li said again: "Since Guo Dushi has seen me, I didn't want to take the initiative to look for you... I think it's so humble in front of you. Doing so will make you look down on; but after all, this pair of insoles took a lot of time. ."

"No, no." Guo Shao touched his forehead, and hurriedly said, "I'm not saying that it didn't take much time, but that I didn't look down on anything like that. I think..."

Hearing his words, Li couldn't help but ask: "What do you think?"

Guo Shao was anxious, he was fidgeting for a while, casually dressed, and eloquently said: "Guo heard that Lady Li is well-known in places such as Yuzhou, and there are countless admirers... I just happened to be in Li Mansion. After memorizing a piece of music, I asked you to see it by chance; after that, you and I were only masked two or three times. I am afraid that the lady didn’t know who I was, most of which were based on her own imagination. A good impression, of course, will think of everything for the good. Some things are just illusions."

"Illusion?" Li's frown thought for a while, "What does Guo Dushi mean by saying these words, is it asking me not to pester you anymore?"

Guo Shao hurriedly said carefully: "This is definitely not what I meant. In fact, I am too happy to be too late...Which man is not complacent when seen by a beautiful young lady?"

Li looked confused.

Guo Shao felt that he had said a bunch of useless things. He turned his head and found that the light branches outside the window were full of flower buds, and he said: "Spring is here, and ancient poets often used things like falling flowers and running water to depict such affection. It came quickly. Go fast. If you keep your memories, you will feel good when you occasionally think about it later; if you are careless, you will destroy everything that is too fragile."

Li followed his gaze and looked at the branches, muttering "Flowers and Flowing Water" in his mouth, as if he was seriously thinking about what Guo Shao said. After a while, she became angry inexplicably: "How can it be that fragile! Come fast, go fast, do you want to say that I am a prodigious woman?"

Guo Shao was stunned.

Li pushed the beautiful silk bag over on the table and said angrily: "Take it! You wait, I will let you know who I am."

Guo Shao said hurriedly: "Wait!"

"When?" Li opened his eyes and looked at him. Guo Shao seemed a little embarrassed and said after a pause, "I don't want to take your affection, let alone feel that you are not good. It's just that my marriage can't be the master for the time being. Could it be that after taking your affection, I finally abandoned it? It might as well be restrained from the beginning. Please forgive me, Lady Li."

……Ms. Li returned to her residence in Tokyo and was talked by her mother, but she usually listened to her father Li Chuyun more, but she was not afraid of her mother. But Li Chuyun was also busy preparing for the expedition, and didn't want to care about his daughter.

Lady Li finally couldn't help asking her father after dinner, "Does Guo Duzhi have parents alive?"

Li Chuyun thought for a while, and said, "No. What are you still thinking about that? Uncle Luo mentioned it last time. Since Guo Duzhi has no thoughts, can we still be more difficult?"

After hearing this, Lady Li muttered: "My parents are gone, so I can't say anything..."

Li Chuyun stroked his beard, and wondered: "Have you been to Guo Dushi? Why can't you be the master?" Seeing her daughter's face reddened slightly, and he didn't answer in anger, Li Chuyun stood up immediately and paced back and forth.

The little girl is very familiar with his father's habits~www.readwn.com~ When she saw this, she asked casually: "What do you think is strange?"

Li Chuyun pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Last time you mentioned Uncle Luo, Guo Duzhi was not only related to the prime minister in Tokyo, but also the queen's person... Are you sure Guo Duzhi said that the marriage could not be the master?"

The little girl frowned, nodded and said, "He said it himself."

Li Chuyun suddenly lowered his face and said with a serious face: "You are not allowed to go to Guo Dujun anymore!"

Her father is usually very fond of her, not to mention that she is also obedient and well-behaved. Seeing that her father's face is very unusual at this time, she was shocked: "What is it that makes Dad teach me this way?"

Li Chuyun seemed to be impatient, and said, "Don't worry about your elders, children, just listen to your father's words! You have a lot of thoughts in your heart, I know at a glance, you can't go out to entangle or commit acts in the future!" With tears full of grievances, Li Chuyun realized that what he said was serious, and hurriedly said with a sigh of relief: "Father is also a guess. If Guo Duzhi is really a noble confidant, the noble may decide for him and marry him in the future. We Li What is going to disturb the family?"

Seeing Li Xiaoniang couldn't help crying, Li Chuyun felt a little annoyed, and said, "Cry to your mother, I have a lot of things to consider."

...

The people in Tokyo made some preparations, and in late February, the army left Beijing. The Hakka ambassador Zan Jurun also went west with Guo Shao.

Guo Shao rode on the horse and turned her head to look at Yulian in the crowd. She took Dong Sanmei and a few female priests, followed the army on the street, and did not look away from Guo Shao for a moment. The look of reluctance made Guo Shao feel a little uncomfortable. Last year was probably this season, and this year it is.

But Guo Shao didn't think he was wrong. He remembered his childhood. When his parents went out to work, they could only go home once a year. The farewell situation and the feeling of seeing off were vaguely familiar to him now.
