Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

?

　　 In the evening at the Tokyo Palace, Guo Shao felt bored and listened to Guo Zhang's memorization of the article he had just learned, so he asked him to rest. Only Guo Zhang's mother Li Yuaner was left with Guo Shao.

"The right way is that the tiger father has no dog son. Our youngest grandfather (Li Jilong) has good qualifications. I heard Dong Zunzuo say after the banquet that Li Jilong marched very fast and had a lot of discipline. Very rare." Guo Shao said in a casual tone.

　　 Li Yuan'er said: "There are too many qualified young people in the world, and it is not the trust of your majesty that he has the opportunity to serve the country."

　　 Li Yuan'er's more rounded and delicate face, with a submissive expression, with a soft smile. But the most difficult thing in the world to penetrate and demand is the human heart, and Guo Shao can hardly guess how much of that smile is from the heart.

　　 Guo Shao couldn't help sighing, remembering Li Yuan'er's sincerity back then, reaching out and holding Li Yuan'er's little hand, with a guilty expression on his face, and said, "I am also very sad for the death of Li Gong."

　　 Li Yuan'er almost shed tears for an instant, but after a little silence, she whispered: "The people of Liao are sinister with their heart, and your majesty is wise and martial, and you have revenge. My father is in the spirit of heaven. It should be relieved."

　　 What she meant was that Zhong Li, who poisoned Li Chuyun, was a spy from the Liao State, and this is also a lot of official words.

　　 Guo Shao had to nod after hearing this: "I am very pleased that the concubine can understand the general situation."

　　 Li Yuan'er said softly: "Your Majesty has a great kindness to both the concubine body and the Li family, and the concubine cannot repay the concubine body even if she is a cow or a horse. The concubine body still does not change the original intention for her affection for her majesty."

At this time, Guo Shao felt an unspeakable dilemma. He actually wanted to sincerely talk with people close to him, but... Since he has the Sixth House of Sannomiya through great power and rules, Li Yuan Or anyone dare to vent their deep emotions to Guo Shao?

　　 And now Li Yuaner's performance is very consistent with her identity and situation. Guo Shao felt that there was nothing wrong with her.

　　...In the early spring, the days are still short and the nights are long. The next day Guo Shao left the imperial concubine's palace and went to the Jinxiang Palace early, and the sky was still dark.

　　 He talked a lot with Li Yuan'er last night. The harem has become a government, and there is almost nothing to say in a thousand words, but Li Yuan'er's unintentional unchanging original intention impressed Guo Shao deeply.

　　 Today was the meeting of the central ministers discussing politics once every three days, so Guo Shao came to the Palace of Parliament early.

　　 He took a lamp from the **** Cao Tai and shone it on the wall behind the throne. There was a large map hung on it. Under the nearby lighting, he could see every line on the map clearly. It is difficult to make a precise drawing, but the current map has changed the previous habit of drawing mountains and rivers and cities very large and intuitively. Instead, the concept of proportion and size are emphasized; therefore, this map has very few drawings, but lines and circles.

　　 This is the territory of his rule.

　　 Not long after, Guo Shao found from Yu Guangli that Cao Tai standing next to him raised his head and glanced up, and he guessed that a certain minister had arrived early.

Guo Shao said without looking back: "Since I became the throne, I have not only gained the glory, wealth and supreme power, but also must assume the mission and responsibility. Each dynasty has its mission, and some have to cultivate and restore the Han people. For the population, some have to expel foreign troubles to avoid perishing the country, and some have to end the division and unification of rivers and mountains. What do you think is the mission of Xu?"

　　 Cao Tai was stunned and didn't speak easily. The people behind him were also a little surprised, as if the emperor still had eyes on his back.

　　 That humanity: "In response to your Majesty, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the borders and cracks have been divided and the countries have been standing side by side. Regaining lost ground and unifying the world is a general trend."

　　 Hearing the sound, Guo Shao knew that the person who arrived early was Zuo You.

　　 Guo Shao turned his head to look, and saw Zuo You standing in the middle of the empty meeting hall with his fists folded and bowed. The two looked at each other from a distance. The deaths of Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun really made Guo Shao hard to let go, so that seeing Zuo You also had an inexplicable feeling... At the beginning, they almost killed Zuo You’s old friendship for so many years. .

He continued to illuminate the line on the map with the lamp, and casually said, "There are still places such as Dali Kingdom and the Jingnan Army that have not returned, but the overall situation has been determined." He pondered for a moment and said, "My original intention is not limited to this. "

　　 Zuo You said: "The minister would like to hear your Majesty's outline."

　　 Guo Shao put down the lamp holder, turned around, and his eyes lit up: "Sweep the world away, establish a fair and clear system and order, the people will be rich, and the country will be honored; then let the country have a bright future."

　　 Zuo You immediately worshipped: "Your Majesty is a great talent, and the ministers are willing to do their best for your majesty's great ambition."

　　 At this time, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and others came again, and when they saw Guo Shao standing there, they all clasped their fists in prayer.

　　 Perhaps some ministers thought at first glance that Guo Shao was just talking grandly. But Guo Shao recalled his enthusiasm when he was younger, and he really thought so. His ideals when he fought in the South and the North were indeed the same.

　　 Now he doesn't want to change his original intention, but finds that he seemed to have taken it for granted; conspiracy and cruelty not only happened to others, but he himself did a lot! Bright dreams are just imagination after all. What's wrong?

　　 may not be wrong, but everything has to be a process, a long process over thousands of years.

　　 Guo Shao is not willing to doubt the ideals in the system. Just as he would not doubt that the progress of the production method is the direction of the future, according to experience, the western convenience dominated the future world by virtue of the industrial revolution... Although in this world, he cannot see that day.

　　 The sky outside the window gradually brightened, and two dozen civil and military ministers arrived one after another.

　　 The courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, Guo Shao put away his morning cranky thoughts, and said clearly: "Spring is coming, and the weather is getting warmer. For the Liao war, I want to take the lead."

There was a lot of discussion in the Hall of Evidence. Prime Minister Li Gu clasped his fist and said: "The world has been chaotic for a long time. After many countries have ruled, they have fought for years. Our dynasty defeated the Liao army in Hedong. At this time, the Northern Expedition is again. "

　　 General Gao Huaide also said: "The official dragon body is healed, if you want to conquer the Liao, you only need to send a general."

　　Guo Shao said: "I have been in the palace for too long, so I want to take advantage of this battle to re-enter." He meant that for so long, he gave the world a sick impression, and now I have to prove my martial arts again.

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Li Gu again: "Don’t worry about Li Xianggong. Except for regaining Youzhou War, Xu Jun has always made quick battles. This time is no exception. We are not going to compete with the Liao Army in the Northeast. The goal of this battle is to force Liao to seek peace."

　　 Several prime ministers seemed to be relieved when they heard that, Li Gu also changed his attitude and said, "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and the world is fortunate."

　　 Guo Shao turned his eyes slightly and motioned to Wei Renpu.

　　 As usual, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, went to the head of the ministers and hung up a map of Liaodong. He calmly bowed to the officials: "Everyone, the state policy to the north of the imperial court was to take the Hexi, build a racecourse, open up the Western Regions, obtain enough horses and cavalry, and then turn to the defense to attack the Liao State."

　　 Everyone seconded.

Wei Renpu said: "However, the situation has changed. The old man and Wang Shijun thought that it was out of time to continue the state policy at this time. Last autumn, the Liao State once again lost more than 30,000 Khitan and Xi’s troops in Hedong. In the past five years, it has lost eight of its troops. There are more than tens of thousands of people, Liao's military force is no longer in the past. At this time, the internal troubles in Liao were even worse, and the foreigners were strong and the others were in the middle.

　　 Our dynasty no longer needs to expend our national power to expand the cavalry in large numbers, as long as we force the lord of the Liao Kingdom to take power, and the two countries negotiate a peace agreement. Then, with the help of the Liao State, the northern tribes can be subdued, and the border troubles of the northern border can be solved. "

　　 The civil and military discussions were so noisy that Wei Renpu kept raising his voice.

　　 The civil officials obviously support the change of national policy. Over the years, Guo Shao understands the historical experience of the civil officials very well. He should recuperate in the early days of the country, especially when the foreign aggression is not serious. The generals are not satisfied, and war can bring them military merit.

　　 Shi Yanchao simply yelled: "We have fought so many battles with the Liao Kingdom, and have died so many brothers and people. Are we going to reconcile now?"

　　 Wang Pu said: "A month ago, Yang Ye wrote that the Hutuo River was filled with the corpses of the Liao army, the river was almost dry, and the corpses were everywhere in the valley. If we talk about blood debts, will we hate the Liao people?"

　　 Guo Shao said, "General Shi, don't worry, there are still many battles to be fought."

　　 Everyone looked at each other, and the emperor seemed to have caught Shi Yanchao's mind.

　　 Guo Shao took the royal case and ignored the disputes of the people, and said directly: "That's it, Deputy Envoy Wei will continue to talk about the strategy."

Wei Renpu bowed his hand and pointed at the map calmly with the palm of his hand: "Liaoyang Mansion is the governing place of the Dongdan Kingdom (the old land of Bohai), and Da Xu plans to threaten Liaoyang in three ways. The main force rode out of Pingzhou, sweeping west Liaoning, and besieging Jinzhou; The Jiaolong Army transported two roads from the water and captured Tiezhou (Yingkou) and Suzhou (Dalian).

　　Dongdan is the heart of Liao~www.readwn.com~ The Liao court must not sit idly by. They may gather a large army to save Liaoyang and fight against our country; if they are not willing to fight, they can only accept peace talks. "

　　 Shi Yanchao opened his mouth and asked: "If the Liao State does not submit, we have not enough cavalry, so we should build the castle all the way to Liaoyang Prefecture as if attacking Youzhou?

　　 Wei Renpu said: "Dashuai Shi has a good question. If so, we will retreat after recovering Jinzhou."

He looked back on the left and right, "After the Taizu Yelu Abaoji of the Liao Dynasty destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the northeast was under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom. Xu Jun sent out to attack the areas under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom and captured a city. It's not a loss."

In Guo Shao’s view, the Liao army would never be able to fight hard in Jinzhou. The most likely thing was to use cavalry to harass the grain road when Xu Jun went deep and helpless; so as long as he made up his mind not to go straight, this battle would stand Invincible...This is also one of the reasons why Guo Shao wants the imperial conquest. He didn't need to risk his prestige at this time.

Wei Renpu said again: "Of course, this is only the most unfavorable situation. Although a large army can be called a victory, the income of a city is not worth the cost of using the army. The best result is to force the Liao country to give up and do it. Enemy, come and ask for peace."
