Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Wang Pu came to the gate of Jinxiang Palace and reminded Guo Shao not to act rashly against the cavalry barracks. Guo Shao didn't intend to make any disturbances, but he still accepted Wang Pu's reminder.

Guo Shao has now lost the determination to put all his eggs in one basket regardless of the consequences. After all, when you see that you have already secured your chances of winning, you are more inclined to seek stability; you want to secure the fruits you have won first, and then you are willing to ask for more.

It is necessary to wait for all 20,000 horses in the left wing of the Hu Jie Army to be in place, and the Privy Council has stabilized most of the Imperial Army before daring to move the Iron Cavalry.

At this moment, Wang Pu put a few pieces of paper on the table and pointed out with his fingers: "This is the deployment map that the old man requested yesterday, but the current situation is no longer suitable for implementation. This is a military order that has been approved by the government, and it has to be cancelled."

"The government has ordered the queen to supervise the country. For the time being, you only need to ask the queen about withdrawing the military order." Guo Shaodao, seeing Wang Pu gently push forward, subconsciously thought that he could show it to himself, so he picked it up and looked at it immediately.

Guo Shao soon understood that the rough blueprints, combined with pictures and texts, were easy for him to understand, which was much easier to understand than using ancient Chinese descriptions. He couldn't help but looked up at Wang Pu immediately.

Wang Pu looked calm, and said nonchalantly: "Yesterday, the old man just completed the formulation. After asking Deputy Envoy Wei to discuss it together, he then went to the official to ask for an order. Unexpectedly, it will be out of date after a day. The situation is really ever-changing."

"That's true." Guo Shao nodded solemnly, "However, no matter how convenient the situation is, the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty cannot be changed; in order to make the government clear and clear, the ministers who have both ability and political integrity and good loyalty cannot be changed, otherwise the country's vitality will be damaged. When the minister meets the queen, he must make a statement."

Wang Pu picked up his things and said, "I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Guo Shao hurriedly got up and walked to the door before giving up.

Not long after, Jingniang came to see her. There are soldiers in this house, she walked up to Guo Shao in armor, and whispered in his ear: "I set up eyeliner near the iron cavalry camp before, I just got the news that Zhao Kuangyin is in the barracks of the old gate of Fengqiu."

Guo Shao pondered for a while, the old gate of Fengqiu is in the north of the city, does that guy really want to go north to the Northern Han Dynasty?

He paced back and forth in front of the table, and immediately called Lu Chengyong, the deputy general of the soldiers, to come in, and said: "You immediately lead the soldiers to light cavalry, go out from the inner and outer gates from the south of the city, and go around the new gate of Fengqiu in the northern city. If you see a horse team leaving the city, stop it. If it is Zhao Kuangyin's people, arrest it!"

Lu Chengyong asked, "Can you kill him?"

Guo Shao said without hesitation: "If you can catch it, you can catch it, if you can't catch it alive, just kill it!"

Lu Chengyong clasped his fists and said, "Decree!"

Guo Shao now has less than 10,000 troops under his complete control (Gao Huaide's troops are not very useful in civil wars), and they have to be deployed inside and outside the imperial city to prepare for the battle at all times, and dare not take risks... Although the current situation is favorable, it is difficult for Zhao Kuangyin to turn defeat into victory.

Guessing alone cannot reassure Guo Shao, he must be prepared. Zhao Kuangyin's Iron Cavalry Army has more than 10,000 troops stationed in each battalion. Although he knows that Zhao Kuangyin has no chance to mobilize troops and form combat effectiveness now (the subordinates are still waiting for promotion to get money, and they don't want to fight with their own people at all. As soon as the barracks move and the troops are not assembled, they will be attacked by the army immediately), but as long as the soldiers are still there, it is like a sharp sword still hanging in Guo Shao's heart.

... Right now, Guo Shao is not afraid of Zhao Kuangyin running away, and even wants him to run away. Once he runs away, the situation will be really stable.

But Zhao Kuangyin showed no signs of running away, Guo Shao pondered for a while, and remembered a person: Zhang Yongde!

If Zhang Yongde can be won over, with Zhang Yongde's prestige in the Dianqian Division, he can be ordered to mobilize the squadrons of the Crane Control Army and gradually enter the Cavalry Army's defense zone in the northeast of Tokyo;

Guo Shao immediately got up and went out, wanting to see the queen again and tell her his thoughts.

He found an eunuch at the main entrance of Jinxiang Hall and asked him to go in and report to see him. After waiting for a while, the eunuch came out and said, "Your Majesty is going to live in the Emperor's Palace, and ask the miscellaneous family to take General Guo to the Emperor's Palace to face the saint."

Guo Shao suddenly had an inexplicable jealousy in his heart. After all the battles, the queen is still willing to live with the official family... After all, they have been married for several years, and Guo Shao has no reason to blame her, but he is unhappy in his heart.

Humanity is a one-day couple and a hundred days of grace, let alone a couple for many years. After the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Shao saw the emperor and the empress going in and out together, and saw them in the barracks and court halls; after the Battle of Gaoping, Queen Fu made a special trip to Daxiangguo Temple to fulfill his vows and pray for the officials.

According to what Guo Shao has seen and heard, Fu Jinzhan still has some affection for the emperor, especially when Fu's family often went to military and political occasions in the past. This time the emperor was so sick that he became so suspicious that he put the queen under house arrest... But one or two things obviously couldn't break the relationship between husband and wife. He believes that Fu Shi did this this time because of rights and safety, and has nothing to do with feelings.

What's more, Fu Jinzhan is obviously not a heartless and ungrateful person. She is about to lose her husband, and it is impossible for her not to feel uncomfortable at all. After all, people are not cold-blooded animals, they still have some emotions.

Guo Shao secretly sighed, he didn't really care about a married woman, it was really tormenting to share her heart with other men... Fortunately, there was the second sister Fu, at least the second sister Fu's heart belonged entirely to him alone. In fact, no one can force such a woman with high status and great background; as long as she treats her a little better, it is unnecessary and impossible for her to "derail". What's more, they are ancient women. Even though the customs of the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties were more open than the rise of Confucianism, they still abide by the influence and restraint of Confucian ethics, and their concepts are different.

He followed the eunuch into the apse of Jinxiang Hall from the corridor, and was then taken into a palace room. The imperial doctor boiled medicine directly in the outer room, which smelled like traditional Chinese medicine; the emperor should be in the inner bedroom.

Guo Shao came to the door of a warm pavilion-like room, and he saw a gorgeous big bed inside, with a person sleeping on it.

The room looked strangely gloomy. It was sunny outside, and there was also a ray of sunlight coming in from the roof here, but the light was not as bright as outside... A dim room, a ray of pale light.

It's a bit like a prison, too dense. This situation was not at all intended to imprison the emperor. At first, he chose it himself. He was lying down at first, but later it was impossible to move a bedroom.

There are a group of women in the dormitory, the painted ink on their faces has not been washed (it is estimated that it will not be easy to wash off for a while), and the eunuch Cao Tai is also there. Also, Empress Fu was sitting by the bed. She might have just sensed that someone was coming, so she looked back.

"Bitch... man!" Suddenly the person on the bed cursed weakly. Isn't it the official voice?

Guo Shao's heart suddenly turned cold, and he instinctively felt fear... The emperor can still speak! He felt a little bit afraid that he dared to launch an army in front of the victorious Lord!

This kind of mood is unreasonable, it is inexplicably awed. Guo Shao was not an upper-class person in his past and present lives, so facing such an emperor, he would be shocked mentally. He has the consciousness of a modern man, but is also a human being. Not to mention seeing the emperor, even seeing a leader with a big belly and a fat stomach in the previous life would be a little fearful... If modern people are really so equal, the scene of people on TV getting excited and wanting to kneel when they see a local official will not be so common.

Guo Shao managed to calm down, and kept reminding himself: Even the emperor, there is nothing he can do about me now! When the emperor is seriously ill, he can't jump up and hit me!

He bowed calmly: "Chen Guo Shao, I pay my respects to Your Majesty and Empress."

"Get up." Fu Jinzhan said coldly, and then waved slightly to Cao Tai. Cao Tai immediately beckoned the women to retreat quietly.

Fu Jinzhan looked Guo Shao up and down, and said, "Come here."

Guo Shao had mixed feelings in his heart, he walked over bravely, and couldn't help but see how ill the emperor lying on the bed was.

I saw that the emperor was really seriously ill, and he was too weak to take a woman. The black spots on his face were getting deeper and deeper, and his complexion was weak. If it wasn't for the difficult breathing, he would look like a dead person without life. Even the great figures who used to be all-powerful, at this moment, there is only an ugly, dead breath.

Fu Jinzhan next to her formed a stark contrast. Although she was in her late twenties, she still had youthful vitality for some reason. The white appearance, beautiful and bright colors, are full of the beauty of life everywhere.

Guo Shao suddenly had the illusion that in this dark room full of mystery, he saw two images. One represents death and the other represents life.

It's like people from two worlds, but they are husband and wife. No matter how powerful the big guy is, the most intuitive feeling... is like a flower stuck in a pile of rotting cow dung.

The dry and inelastic skin is like solidified dead skin, the lesions seem to be rotting corpse spots, and the emerging meridians are like black and gray maggots that are wriggling.

The mystery of the emperor is because he is high above, and usually he cannot approach him or observe him. But now Guo Shao observed for a while, gradually gained courage, and suddenly glared impulsively: "I want to achieve greater achievements here and completely defeat him!"

"You have already defeated him, although it was when he was weak." Fu Jinzhan sneered. Her expression looked strange, showing no respect for the emperor at all.

Perhaps no matter how powerful a person is, he is also a mortal, and if he gets too close to others, he will be seen through the cloak of strength.

Guo Shao boldly said: "I want to do what the official has done, and what he can't do! Only in this way can I truly stand up from the shadow of the emperor!"

Fu Jinzhan suddenly said coldly: "What does General Guo want to do, proclaim himself emperor? It's nothing. All the emperors in this world were obtained by seizing the foundations of the previous dynasty. The Taizu, the emperor on the bed, and all the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were all courtiers of the (later) Han Dynasty."

Guo Shao paused for a moment, it's too early to say this now, his prestige and strength are not enough...

At this time, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and glared at him angrily: "Zhen...Zhen..." He seemed to wish to smash Fu Jinzhan into thousands of pieces, but he ignored Guo Shao.
