Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The seriously ill emperor was furious, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Fu Jinzhan's wrist! She and Guo Shao suddenly turned pale with fright. Who would have thought that a dying person who couldn't speak clearly could make such a sudden move?

"Ah!" Fu Jinzhan cried out in pain.

Guo Shao immediately rushed forward and pinched the emperor's forearm. As soon as he exerted force, he felt that the emperor's hand was loose, so he hurriedly used the other hand to break it. It was not difficult, and quickly rescued Fu Jinzhan from the clutches of the emperor, and pulled her behind her to protect her.

At this time, people outside heard Fu Jinzhan's cry and rushed in. Fu Jinzhan came out from behind Guo Shao, said with a pale face, "Back off."

Guo Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and when he turned around to look, he saw a few red fingerprints on Fu Jinzhan's wrist, which caused tears to roll in her eyes due to the pain. Guo Shao was very distressed. In desperation, he actually held up her wrist, put it in front of his mouth and blew: "Are you all right? Are you all right..."

It’s okay that no one treats her like this. When she heard Guo Shao’s concerned tone, she immediately pointed her other hand to her forehead in aggrieved way: “He always hurts me. The scar here hasn’t healed for a month or two. There was a lot of blood.”

Guo Shao took a closer look, and there was indeed another old scar, and he thought to himself: The person I protect in spite of my life was brutally raped by the emperor in front of the emperor! It was very unpleasant, as if he found a beautiful woman whom he could not catch up with after all his efforts, but was abused by Gao Fushuai like a straw.

Fu Jinzhan looked angry and sad, turned to the person on the bed and said, "Do you still remember the groom I told you about?"

The person on the bed sighed, closed his eyes and did not speak.

At this time, Fu Jinzhan said angrily again: "I told you. After Li Shouzhen's mansion was destroyed, I was escorted back to Daming Mansion. On the way, I was worried that the general who had been a groom would be bad for me, so I had to commit myself to him... That groom is Guo Shao!"

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes.

Guo Shao was puzzled when he heard this, when did Fu Jinzhan commit himself to himself? After Li Shouzhen's defeat, Guo Shao was almost dead after being hit on the head with a club; when Fu Jinzhan left Hezhong Mansion, he might still be at the mass grave... How to escort her?

It should be that Fu Jinzhan remembered the wrong person, and she probably didn't know Guo Shao very well at that time.

He suddenly overturned the five-flavored bottle in his heart. Fu Jinzhan actually got close to a groom who she couldn't even remember? This is so uncomfortable!

And she actually said that Guo Shao was a groom. Could it be that in her heart, he is really so humble?

... Guo Shao's heart was full of courage, anger and shame. It was hard for him to force himself down, face the reality for now, and said calmly: "The official is still very important, don't let him talk nonsense in front of the ministers."

Fu Jinzhan nodded coldly.

Guo Shao said again: "I want to meet Zhang Yongde so that we can divide the cavalry defense area as soon as possible."

Fu Jinzhan said: "You can decide these things yourself, you don't have to ask me everything. The performance of these years has proved that you have grown up."

Guo Shao's heart was a little cold, and he immediately called the people at the door to come in, and said: "The empress should be more careful, I have finished my business, I will take my leave."

Fu Jinzhan looked him up and down, hesitated to speak, but finally just waved his hand lightly.

Guo Shao walked out of Jinxiang Hall, and he let out a long breath as soon as he was illuminated by the sun. He sighed again, and looked up at the sun for a moment, the bright light made him dizzy... Even the scorching sun couldn't dispel the shadow in his heart!

He felt that his self-esteem had been greatly trampled on, and ordinary people could not hit him, but Fu Jinzhan could easily do it. He secretly made up his mind that he must tell Fu Jinzhan to look at his achievements, and make her realize that it is extremely wrong to think of herself as a groom and servant!

Although he claimed to be a guard of the Fu family in the past, he was just talking, just to show his loyalty. He can say that himself, but Fu Jinzhan can't treat him that way, she can't look down on him in her heart!

Guo Shao pondered for a while, then called his own soldiers to lead the horses, and led a group of people to run sideways, and went straight to the Privy Council.

After entering the lobby, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu came out to meet. Guo Shao didn't talk nonsense, and straight to the point expressed his vision.

After hearing this, Wei Renpu said: "Zhang Yongde met him when the Privy Council sent someone to deliver the commendation order when Zhang Yongde was in the left wing barracks of the Hejun Army in the north of the city." Wang Pu pondered for a moment and said, "It's not good to summon Zhang Yongde or the old man in the name of the queen."

Guo Shao pondered, calling Zhang Yongde directly might make him feel dangerous, which is not conducive to unite and attract more people; the people from the center took the initiative to go, and there was no way to test Zhang Yongde's true attitude.

Wang Pu continued: "I have an idea. Zhang Yongde recognizes my handwriting. Now I will write a private letter to invite him to come to the Privy Council for a talk. It would be best if Zhang Yongde is willing to come to the palace; if not, he can also refuse, because it is not a military order."

Guo Shao immediately agreed: "This is a good idea, Wang Shijun has considered it very carefully."

He immediately felt that Wang Pu was indeed a talent, and that a capable person meant that he had the brains to quickly come up with proper solutions for both big and small matters. What's more, Wang Pu is also a person with a big strategy, such people are not easy to find.

...

The people in the imperial city tried every means to keep pace with each other, and Zhao Kuangyin was not idle.

He had realized before that he had no chance, so he made a quick decision to escape. But two things delayed a little time. The first one was waiting for his cronies to pick up his nine-year-old son Zhao Dezhao (the mother, younger siblings, daughter, concubine and other family members had no choice but to slow down his journey); the second was to persuade the other brothers to follow him.

The first thing went well, but the second didn't work. Except for Shi Shouxin and the other three brothers, the others who called him brothers were unwilling to leave... They had just been rewarded and promoted, thinking that at least their lives were not in danger, and even if they were demoted in the future, they could keep their families.

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to rush out of the north gate with dozens of horsemen.

Unexpectedly, not long after they got on the post road, they suddenly saw a group of horse soldiers at the intersection in front of them. Zhao Kuangyin said something bad: others guessed his plan!

"There are horse soldiers!" Wang Shenqi shouted.

The horseshoe was still running, Shi Shouxin said angrily: "Slay a bloody road!"

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Kuangyin and the others had already rushed towards him, only to see that the other party was also applauding and coming towards him. Zhao Kuangyin looked left and right, and there were crops and some houses around. After the land was overturned, it was uneven, and there was only a small road in the middle. Now it is easier to be stuck by the enemy cavalry when it is turned temporarily. He didn't speak at the moment, let Shi Shouxin play the forward, and rushed up together.

There were not many enemy cavalry, so they yelled loudly when they came up. When they were dozens of steps away, they heard a "crackling" sound; in an instant, the heavy impact of weapons came, and they were already killing.

Shi Shouxin took the lead, and he danced a long pony as lightly as if he was threading a needle. The general who blocked the soldiers was very bad at equestrian skills, obviously he was not a fierce general, and when he came up to attack Shi Shouxin with a saber crossbar, the general immediately became unsteady when he sat down, and he was thrown off his horse. The rest were shocked when they saw this, they couldn't stop Shi Shouxin at all, and were killed to open a way.

"Brother Shi is good at martial arts!" Zhao Kuangyin praised.

The combat effectiveness of this group of soldiers and horses intercepted was not as good as that of Shi Shouxin and other fierce generals. The three brothers charged forward in a zigzag shape, and dozens of them could not stop them. The fighting ability of the blocking troops was not good, but their fighting will was very high. They were beaten to the ground, but the rest still did not retreat, and attacked Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry from both sides.

At this moment, a rider suddenly rushed up. Zhao Kuangyin's expression changed: "Jing Niang!"

I saw Jingniang wearing iron armor and a helmet on her head. She was tall and heroic, and she was more temperamental than ordinary knights. Jing Niang didn't answer, she pulled out her long sword with a "shua" and slapped her horse. Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly protected his son in his arms, raised his two sticks and hit him head-on, with a "snap", the long stick was swiped by Jingniang, and the short stick in front hit Jingniang on the head with force; Zhao Kuangyin's move seemed inconspicuous, but many veterans of the battle had suffered.

But Zhao Kuangyin subconsciously saved some sympathy...Unexpectedly, Jingniang dodged the short stick with a tilt of her head. She already knew Zhao Kuangyin's double stick trick. After dodging, the sword tip fell and stabbed lightly, almost brushing Zhao Kuangyin's ear and piercing the air.

Zhao Kuangyin broke out in a cold sweat, and she showed mercy, but she won't forgive others when she succeeds, and her sword moves are very pungent. Zhao Kuangyin's upper body fell down, and only then did he avoid the expected subsequent swipe of the sword.

The two approached each other in an instant, this kind of immediate fight would usually only take one move before they would stagger each other; but Jing Niang came up very quickly, and in a flash she had already exchanged two or three moves with Zhao Kuangyin. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's horse had already rushed past, and she couldn't catch up.

... At this moment, Zhao Pu appeared in Jingniang's sight on horseback. Jingniang recognized this guy, he was the one who blocked the road near Daxiangguo Temple last time. Jing Niang was very angry immediately, she raised her sword and charged forward, but unfortunately she was still a step too late, when she slashed through with the sword, Zhao Pu was so frightened that he screamed "Wow", but the sword couldn't reach the person, and cut off the burden belt on his back with a "chi" sound.

A bundle suddenly fell from the horse. Jing Niang saw a sword piercing the air, and she was still angry, so she raised the sword and threw it over. Suddenly there was a scream of "ah", the sword hit Zhao Pu's thigh, and the servant, a civil servant, didn't fall off, leaned over and grabbed the saddle, and ran away.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin and dozens of cavalry were asked to break through the blockage and leave in the dust. Only then did Jing Niang dismount and pick up the burden that fell from Zhao Pu's body.

Unexpectedly, soon Zhao Kuangyin divided his troops and turned back. Jing Niang and the others were very surprised. She suddenly realized that what fell from Zhao Pu's body might be their target... At the moment, she thought that the people on her side could not beat Zhao Kuangyin's fierce generals, and there was nothing they could do for the time being;

So Jingniang turned around and ran away with the burden.
