Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the sunny palace room, the two couldn't hide their short-term joy and impulse after their reunion. But he regained his sanity a little bit, and the huge pressure of the situation returned to Guo Shao's heart.

After a moment of silence, Guo Shao said: "At present, with the righteousness and rewards of the Queen and the Shu, most of the Forbidden Army should be able to stabilize. But the most important thing is to deploy a greater force advantage...Gao Huaide's right wing can be borrowed in advance, and then gather the other half of the Tiger Jie army's left wing."

He thought for a while and then said: "I would like to ask for an order to immediately open the treasury to cash out the rewards to Gao Huaide's right wing; let the people from the Privy Council go to Gao Huaide with money and military orders, so that he can gather troops faster."

Fu Jinzhan's face was blushing, and he said softly, "I'll take care of you. There are more important things to do next, and the officials can't make mistakes."

After hearing this, Guo Shao felt a sense of oppression in his heart. Even if Chai Rong was lying on the bed and couldn't get up, it still made people dare not ignore it. He couldn't help asking: "Will there be any accidents in the official's bedroom?"

Fu Jinzhan said: "I still have dozens of 'Beiguo Caimian' in my hand, and they have been transferred to the emperor's bedroom. These people may not be very useful in battle, but they have been trained in martial arts since childhood, and close-up 'guards' are very useful."

Then Guo Shao nodded slightly: "I will send Lu Chengyong to guard outside the Jinxiang Hall with my own soldiers."

Chai Rong was too prestige, no one dared to disturb him when he was around; Zhao Kuangyin did not do anything before, probably because he was afraid that Chai Rong would come forward and thought the time was not ripe. Guo Shao was under a lot of pressure this time. In addition to dealing with Zhao Kuangyin, there were also reasons for Emperor Chai Rong; Chai Rong was bedridden, but he could still talk. Even now, Guo Shao is a little scared. In terms of prestige and authority, he is not at the same level as the emperor. What he did this time is really daring!

Since the Five Dynasties, the Zhou Dynasty established by Guo Wei should be the most popular and the most prosperous dynasty in martial arts. Chai Rong justifiably obeyed Taizu and took over the country, and immediately stabilized the throne by his ability. The internal politics are relatively clear, reforms covering all aspects have been carried out, and the country has gradually become stronger; externally, it has gradually won the key points of big countries such as Shu and Southern Tang, and launched offensives against Liao and Khitan one after another. Since Chai Rong came to the throne, he has basically never lost a battle. In just four years, martial arts have achieved great results, and Chai Rong is worthy of being a powerful master of the generation!

But strong fortresses often start to collapse from the inside, even if Guo Shao doesn't do it, Zhao Kuangyin won't stop either. Guo Shao couldn't help thinking about it again, and felt that Chai Rong couldn't make a comeback, and Guo Shao would not give him another chance due to his unscrupulous and crazy psychology.

At this time, Guo Shao said goodbye and walked out of Jinxiang Hall.

Soon after seeing a group of generals, Guo Shao took a group of generals to the side hall next to the main entrance of Jinxiang Hall to discuss matters. The original purpose of this place should be a place where the emperor summoned the ministers and the ministers rested while waiting for the holy face.

Guo Shao said directly: "Just now I went to the palace to meet the queen. What we need to do now is to increase the Huaide troops to gather closer to the imperial city, and the second is to gather the rest of the left wing of the Hujie army to form a military force."

Li Chuyun suggested using messengers to send orders, first ordering the commanders, and then asking the commanders to send people to notify the generals at the bottom, and pass it down layer by layer. It is estimated that after tomorrow, the army will be assembled one after another. In his opinion, Guo Shao, the shogunate organization, is already very efficient, and it is more troublesome to mobilize other troops of the Imperial Army from the demobilized state; after all, there is no fast information transmission method such as broadcasting.

After everyone agreed on what to do, Zuo You suddenly asked, "My lord, what do you think Zhao Kuangyin will do now?"

Everyone was silent for a while. Luo Yanhuan said: "Will you call your iron cavalry to fight with us?"

Guo Shao's conflict with Zhao Kuangyin was already very serious, and he said with a cold face when he heard this: "It would be better if he fights me now! Take this opportunity to cleanse his people for the crime of treason!"

Li Chuyun pondered and said: "I think Zhao Kuangyin might prepare to escape in advance."

Guo Shao thinks it makes sense, not to mention that the other imperial guards have no intention of civil war at the moment, even the soldiers of the iron cavalry army may have low morale. Zhao Kuangyin has no chance of winning, and running away first may not be the best choice when there is no other way.

Guo Shao immediately said: "If Zhao Kuangyin wants to run away, where should he go?"

"Wuyue, Jingnan and other places, he will definitely not dare to go. The imperial court of the Great Zhou ordered the king to capture and offer it up." Li Chuyun stroked the beard on his chin and said, "The southern Tang Dynasty is the most impossible place in a great country. During the Huainan War, Zhao Kuangyin defeated the Southern Tang army several times and had a lot of grudges. Besides, the Southern Tang Dynasty doesn't have much ambition to compete with the original hegemony. Zhao Kuangyin's going is also not safe.

In my opinion, Zhao Kuangyin is a person who cares about reputation very much. Although Khitan is the best place to save his life, it is the country of Hulu after all, which is not good for his reputation.

The Kingdom of Shu is rebellious and disrespectful to officials. The Lord of Shu still calls himself emperor despite repeated threats of force. But the Kingdom of Shu has never shown any signs of progress... It depends on whether Zhao Kuangyin just wants to hide his name to survive, or wants to make a comeback? If you still have ambitions, the Kingdom of Shu is not a good place to go. "

"Northern Han Dynasty?" Guo Shao said.

Li Chuyun nodded and said: "I also think that the most likely place for Zhao Kuangyin to run is the Northern Han Dynasty."

Guo Shao immediately said: "If Zhao Kuangyin wants to fight, he may be able to gather some troops; but if he runs away, there are definitely not many people who are willing to abandon their wives and follow him. Now we can urgently send two cavalry teams to set up ambush on Chenqiaoyi in the north and Huazhou Road in the west to intercept and deploy in advance. In addition, let Shu order Li Yun in Luzhou and Xiangxun in Hedong to arrest Zhao Kuangyin!"

Xiang Xun will definitely help Guo Shao. He doesn't have a big position, but he has a better friendship with Guo Shao. Li Yun has already decided to marry the royal family (Chai Zongxun) and is more loyal to the Zhou Dynasty; but Guo Shao and others have not claimed to rebel against the Zhou Dynasty, and Li Yun has no idea what happened in Tokyo in a short time, so he should follow Tokyo's imperial edict.

Guo Shao and others then got busy and started all the deployments again.

...

Gao Huaide was stationed in a right wing of the South Outer City. After he and his generals received the "award" from the Privy Council, they felt at ease. It can be guessed that Guo Shao's troops have entered the imperial city and controlled the hub; in this way, Gao Huaide's head was at least saved.

Of course he hoped that Guo Shao would win! Gao Huaide's sister is Guo Shao's righteous sister, and she has a close relationship with him; his nephew joined Guo Shao's command, and he has one uncle after another. In this case, as long as Guo Shao wins, not only will he not be in any danger, but he will turn around because of it, and he will definitely not be suppressed like before; on the other hand, if Zhao Kuangyin gains power, can he have a good life?

In Huainan, Zhao Kuangyin said in front of the emperor that he was negligent in governing the army and didn't look like a leader. These grievances have not been eliminated; plus Zhao Kuangyin is Guo Shao's mortal enemy... Various things are circling in Gao Huaide's mind.

Fortunately, the situation is good now, Gao Huaide just breathed a sigh of relief. But he still can't mobilize troops. He is not as deep in an army as Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin are; without military orders, he can't persuade the generals to mobilize the troops. Just follow the rules.

Not long after, it was reported that the Privy Council had come. Gao Huaide hurriedly led his troops out of the camp to watch. He saw a group of dozens of horsemen walking slowly, with a few carts in between.

"General Gao." A strong man wearing an official robe immediately stepped forward to salute, Wei Renpu, deputy privy envoy!

Gao Huaide hurriedly said, "I pay my respects to Deputy Envoy Wei."

Wei Renpu jumped off his horse, without saying a word, he shouted: "Open it!"

The subordinates immediately removed the sackcloth covering the cart. "Ah! Oh..." Gao Huaide's subordinates immediately widened their eyes.

I saw several carts full of copper coins! Wei Renpu smiled and said: "Not long ago, the Shu ordered to reward the soldiers, so I came here with the promised rewards. You gather all the soldiers from each battalion and divide the money after they gather in the inner city."

"The Privy Council was ordered to reward the soldiers, how can we not believe it, this... is really too fast." Gao Huaide casually said. Immediately raised his heart, it seems that this is going to make him use his troops!

Every time before the army goes out, the whole army is usually rewarded first, and then everyone is asked to go out with satisfaction. The current situation is very similar to dispatching troops to go to war; but now the money is easier, as long as you gather in Tokyo, you can get it... and go to war, you have to walk a thousand or two thousand miles and you have to work hard.

Wei Renpu led people into the barracks, and read the order of the Privy Council in front of the generals outside the army. After reading the general order, hand it to Gao Huaide for him to check with the lieutenant general and the general. Obviously, there is nothing to verify. The deputy privy envoy (a few days ago was still a privy envoy) personally brought the military order, so it is impossible for it to be fake.

"The money is all from the imperial government's internal treasury allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Wei Renpu added, "It is too time-consuming to distribute to the soldiers now. You should be escorted by the army first, and then distributed when you arrive at the place. The main force of the right wing of the Hujie army was mobilized and gathered in the southwest corner of the imperial city, and then distributed troops to control the intersections in the west; when things settled down, slowly reward the troops."

"The last general waits to obey!" All the generals responded happily.

Gao Huaide was ecstatic. For him, the whole incident and his current situation were the most suitable one. If he participates too early, the risk is huge, and he cannot restrain his subordinates from mutiny, which is very reluctant for him; if he does not participate, he will have no share of the fruits of victory.

It is precisely when this general trend is gradually stabilizing that he steps forward to become an important force... This is the most stable and most profitable time.

Guo Shao is really good at employing people, and he is very good at thinking for him! For a moment Gao Huaide felt that Guo Shao's style did not match his age, a person in his early twenties could think so carefully and appropriately.

After Gao Huaide sent Wei Renpu away, in front of everyone, his face almost died of laughter.

"Leave your men and horses to guard each gate, and the rest of the troops gather outside the Chongming Gate. There must be no mistakes!" Gao Huaide raised his head and shouted calmly.
