Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

It was late at night, a round and a half moon hung in the night sky, and the moonlight was as cool as water. Guo Shao could finally go back to his bedroom to rest, and he walked quickly.

Yang Shi was already lying on the bed, she turned her head when she heard the sound of the door, just in time to meet Guo Shao's eyes, her face blushed, and she turned her head inside. Guo Shao came back in a hurry, maybe Yang could guess what he wanted to do with his toes.

She didn't move, and she didn't resist a long time ago. She seemed to be reluctant and helpless... Guo Shao had gotten used to it these days, and she didn't react at all; even at certain times, she would bite the corner of the quilt and hold back her silence, which was a bit disappointing. However, Yang's appearance is really beautiful, her skin is like snow, and her body is even more bumpy and soft like water, so Guo Shao doesn't care much about it.

He just said: "Tomorrow I will return to the army, and there are still battles to be fought. Let Jing Niang escort you to Tokyo tomorrow, tonight is our last night."

But Mrs. Yang still didn't open her mouth. Although there was nothing disgusting about her shy face, it was no different from the previous few days...not to mention she didn't seem reluctant to part with her. She only knew each other for a few days and was still taken by Guo Shao. If she wanted to break up, she shouldn't be reluctant.

Guo Shao had no choice but to take off his clothes and enjoy himself.

At this moment, a voice from outside the door suddenly said: "General Luo came from Shouzhou overnight, and said he has something important to report to Guo Dushi."

"Which General Luo?" Guo Shao asked a little annoyed.

"Luo Yanhuan." said the guard who came from outside the door.

It's completely dark today, it might not be easy for Luo Yanhuan to enter Xiacai Town, there must be something important to do. Guo Shao had no choice but to say to Yang: "You wait for me, I will come as soon as I go."

Yang didn't answer, and fell asleep on her side.

Guo Shao picked up the robe he had just stripped off and put it on, and when he opened the door, he saw Luo Yanhuan walking up and down the courtyard anxiously. This mansion is just a courtyard, and there is only such a place to enter the gate.

When Luo Yanhuan saw Guo Shao coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Actually, I have something important to do." Guo Shao said, "I know."

Luo Yanhuan said: "Today the scouts caught a spy, but two horses ran away. The captured horse was shot to death by our scouts, and an arrow was shot in the leg, so we caught it. After the arrest, I ordered a beating, and then he recruited, saying that it was Lu Mengjun, the right guard general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who sent them to meet Li Chongjin. They came from Haozhou; Do Sima Budu have contacts with his commanders? This matter is no small matter, so I hurried to find my lord."

"It's a bit serious..." Guo Shao took two steps, and said, "Let the soldiers arrange a room for you to rest for the night. I will send you something in the morning, and let me think about it." Guo Shao said again in a deep voice, "Don't call me Lord in the future. You and I are both generals of the Imperial Army, and you are not my general."

Luo Yanhuan nodded.

Guo Shao turned back and opened the door to enter, but suddenly saw Mrs. Yang standing at the door, dressed in plain white clothes and with loose hair, Guo Shao was startled by inadvertence. He said angrily, "What are you doing here? The general and I are talking about military affairs, which has nothing to do with you."

Yang's complexion was very bad, and he asked in a daze, "Are you talking about Lu Mengjun?"

"It seems to be the name, General Youwei of the Southern Tang Kingdom...do you know him?" Guo Shao asked, because the Yang family originally came from the Southern Tang Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, a large tear fell silently from the corner of Yang's eye. Seeing this, Guo Shao didn't know why.

Yang suddenly knelt down on the ground and choked with sobs, "General Guo, please help me kill Lu Mengjun...he is my sworn enemy. Before he surrendered to Southern Tang, he was from Chu. Trickster!"

Guo Shao hurriedly supported her, and comforted her: "I heard that he has arrived in Haozhou. I am going to Haozhou for this expedition. If I win the battle, I will capture him for you."

"If General Guo can help me avenge me, I will repay you like a cow or a horse." Yang cried loudly.

Guo Shao sighed, waiting for her to cry enough. She cried for a while, then said: "I'm not going to Tokyo anymore, I'm just waiting for Lu Mengjun to die in Huainan!"

After Guo Shao comforted him, he ignored Yang's family. After thinking about it, he simply wrote a whistleblowing letter, planning to send his confidant to Yangzhou on a fast horse to report to the emperor the next morning...to make a small report. He thought to himself: Come and don't go indecently, it's time for me to make a small report.

...

Li Chongjin was on his way to Zhengyang, and a part of the bodyguard Silong Jiejun was stationed there (the rest of Long Jiejun were in Hebei to guard against Khitan); Han Tong's navy was also in Zhengyang.

A group of people walked to the evening and found that there was no post house nearby, so they had to set up camp and put up tents for the night. At this time, he met the "messenger" from the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xizuo unexpectedly knew that he was rushing back to Huaishui from Yangzhou, maybe Yangzhou also had their Xizuo; the messenger was waiting for him on the way.

Li Chongjin retreated to the left and right, and called the envoy in for questioning. The emissary took out a wax pill, opened it and found a secret letter inside, so he presented it to Li Chongjin for review.

The letter claimed to be the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and sent Lu Mengjun to find a way to send it to Li Chongjin. There is no concealment in the content, it is to persuade Li Chongjin to surrender to the Southern Tang Kingdom, and the Southern Tang Emperor will definitely reuse him, and promises to grant him high officials and glory and wealth; he also promises that people who surrender to the Southern Tang Kingdom will live well, and Lu Mengjun, who is in contact with Li Chongjin, is a good example.

There are also good reasons for persuading surrender. First of all, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are at odds... I don’t know where the Southern Tang ruler learned about it. Zhang Yongde once reminded Chai Rong: Li Chongjin has two hearts, so be on guard!

Li Chongjin had also heard about this incident, but it wasn't a random fabrication by the Southern Tang people.

Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, also had some words, roughly meaning: The lord of the Zhou Dynasty (Chai Rong) wanted to kill you a long time ago, but he didn’t move for the time being due to the favor of his relatives and his inability to convince the soldiers, but sooner or later he would find a way to punish you. I heard that the ruler encouraged Wang Pu to force you to serve fried fish to his subordinates. This kind of humiliation has been spread to foreign countries (Southern Tang Dynasty). Where is General Li's face and prestige? Doesn't General Li understand this joint? Come early, the mighty Southern Tang Kingdom welcomes you...

Li Chongjin was ashamed and angry, swallowed his anger, and looked at the person coldly. Suddenly seeing bloodstains on his leg, he asked, "Did something happen on the way?"

The envoy had no choice but to tell the truth: "I accidentally ran into Zhou Jun's ranger."

"Someone has been arrested?" Li Chongjin asked.

Lai Shi busy shook his head: "He is dead, and he doesn't know what it is. Only I know this letter."

"Hmph!" Li Chongjin sneered, and now that he understood the general process, he immediately shouted, "Come here, take down the spies!"

"You..." came in a hurry.

Li Chongjin said: "Take the two of you, bring the wax pill and the secret letter, and send them to Yangzhou to the officials together."

...But Chai Rong had already learned about this matter first, so he just kept his face. When Li Chongjin delivered the secret letter, Chai Rong finally appreciated it, and sent someone to comfort and reward Li Chongjin for his loyalty.

However, Chai Rong was still very angry, and scolded in front of several important ministers: "Young Li Jing, how dare you act like this!"

Wang Pu hurriedly persuaded: "It's too clumsy to try to provoke our monarchs, ministers, and generals with divisive tactics. Your Majesty is wise, how can you be fooled?"

Wang Pu basically doesn't flatter, even flattering the emperor is not easy; this is more upright than Feng Dao. Last year, Feng Dao "directly advised" the emperor not to conquer Hedong in person, saying that Chai Rong was not as good as Tang Taizong; it was only later that Chai Rong realized that Feng Dao was flattering him in disguise and pretending to be upright... Wang Pu would not say that.

Chai Rong thought about it and understood what Wang Pu meant. He felt that his partner with Wang Pu Junchen really had a tacit understanding.

Chai Rong showed the secret letter to Zhang Yongde.

Zhang Yongde said: "The minister and General Li Chongjin are both generals of the Zhou army. If the generals do not get along, it will affect the morale of the army. The minister's words last year were thoughtless."

So when Chai Rong, Zhang Yongde, and Zhao Kuangyin led Neidanzhi and a cavalry army to leave Yangzhou, Zhang Yongde asked for an order to go first to Zhengyang.

Zhang Yongde rode into Li Chongjin's camp alone, and went into his army tent to chat and laugh. Li Chongjin didn't show his face this time either, the words were very harmonious, and then he left Zhang Yongde to eat and drink, and had a good chat. Zhang Yongde took the initiative to mention what happened last year, not out of personal resentment, so the two expressed that they would let go of their previous suspicions and start over.

However, after Li Chongjin got drunk, he suddenly mentioned: "Guo Shao, the commander of the Infantry Division, made meritorious service in Gaoping last year. It seems that Zhang Jiandian has said some good things for him."

Zhang Yongde said: "Guo Dushi made military achievements last year. I just treat everyone equally out of fairness. I have no personal relationship with him. Except for meeting a few times on official occasions, I have never met or spoken to him in private."

"I see." Li Zhongjin nodded.

Zhang Yongde persuaded: "Guo Dushi is General Li's subordinate, I don't think he intends to humiliate you. General Li thinks back to the situation in Yangzhou a few days ago, it's not that Guo Dushi just wants to make things difficult for you; I think it's a trivial matter, just let it go, General Li don't take it to heart."

When Li Chongjin was reminded, he really recalled it for a while, and then Guo Shao's very delicious "bajibaji" sound rang in his ears, and the snack was forgotten after one bite, and he actually wanted to pick it up a second time. Is the fried fish really that delicious?

Li Chongjin blushed and turned pale for a while, and his words became less and less.

After Zhang Yongde left, Li Chongjin sent a general to ask which department the scouts wandering on the road that night belonged to. The generals didn't know, so they sent people to investigate for a long time before they found out: the first army in the left wing of the Tiger Jie Army.

Li Chongjin was even more wary. The First Army, Second Army and Guo Shao of the Hu Jie Army have been to Qinfeng, but no one can control them there... No one who doesn't have Guo Shao will believe it.
