Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

When Guo Shao woke up, he suddenly felt a little sore in his waist, and he was still very tired. He was sitting on a large chair in the study in the inner garden, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a pile of papers on the table in front of him. Thinking about it, he thought it was not good to sleep in the daytime, and he had to check these things all the time, but he fell asleep before sitting up. There was already a soft fur blanket on his body, and he had no idea when it was covered.

"Twittering..." The sparrows outside were jumping up and down. The afternoon sun shone through the carved windows, casting mottled shadows on the floor tiles. There was no one around him, Guo Shao was still in a trance, and the wanton night last night seemed to have just happened. He was dazed for a while, thinking wildly.

People are growing up. When he was very young in his previous life, he met a beautiful woman in public. She was very pure, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and her voice was very gentle; not only because of her beauty, he didn’t feel much about some star-like girls, but the beauty he met by chance was very attractive to him in some unspeakable subtleties... His fantasy at the time was that one day he would become famous and be close to such a person;

When he got older and experienced more, his ideas gradually changed...beauties are not as pure as he imagined. He no longer has the thoughts of his youth. But for the type he loves, those beauties, he still retains the mentality of his youth, hoping that she can live in the sun instead of being hurt; like a red plum blooming in the snow, it is inevitable to give birth to a feeling of love.

Up to now, Guo Shao's initial psychology has not changed, but his concept has changed again. Now he thinks that the flowers that are worth cherishing can still be tried. He has built up greater self-confidence, and he is no longer as cautious as before.

...Zhou Xian is the kind of girl who can't restrain Guo Shao's affection at first sight. While Guo Shao is amazed, he never intends to force her to hurt her.

Even if Fu Jinzhan didn't have the tolerant attitude of the ancient aristocratic family, Guo Shao might be able to restrain his desires; there are too many things a person wants in this world, but as a person who has experienced helplessness and powerlessness, Guo Shao doesn't want what he wants. Obviously Zhou Xian cannot be compared with Fu Jinzhan in Guo Shao's heart at all. Even if Zhou Xian is really a fairy descended to earth, it is impossible for a girl he just met to shake the belief that Fu Jinzhan has built up in Guo Shao's heart over the years.

But when Zhou Xian proposed an exchange of your love and my willingness, Guo Shao couldn't help it...Fu Jinzhan also said that he would build a Tongque Terrace for him to hide the beauty.

As for the price, it was still within Guo Shao's tolerance. One million strings is not a small amount for the national finances, but it is not so big that it will affect the overall level; what's more, although Guo Shao recognizes and even admires Li Yu's lyric writing talent, the "Ci Emperor" is not a vain name, but he looks down on military and state affairs from the bottom of his heart.

Even if the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, Guo Shao has no pressure... If it was just a deal with Zhou Xian and only considered gains and losses, Guo Shao would not have to pay any price at all;

In Guo Shao's personal heart, women are not necessarily important to national and military affairs. For example, the importance of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Fu Jinzhan, he had to choose one in his heart, and he reckoned that he would choose a woman. How about this country, he is willing to take responsibility, but he doesn't feel that his own shoulders can bear such a big responsibility alone. Even if you are the savior, someone may call you a dog, and you want to turn yourself into a mountain of pressure, suffering and hatred all day long, why bother!

... A long time ago, when he was young, there was a wife in his hometown who was bought from other places. The woman ran away many times without success, and even tried to escape after giving birth. The man used violence and threats of violence for a long time to prevent the woman from escaping again.

Guo Shao didn't think that man was powerful and violent, but he just showed his extreme incompetence. You can't even support your own wife, and you still have to rely on this method to keep people. When you hurt people, how can you live well?

If the man can rely on his own ability to satisfy the woman in all aspects, she will not always want to run away; but on the contrary, he cannot satisfy the woman in any aspect, and his life is too bad.

Guo Shao couldn't imagine that using this method to get a woman would give him any pleasure. What he wants is a woman who is willing, and satisfying her in every way can in turn stimulate his sense of accomplishment and self-esteem, so that he can be happy; what he wants is a woman he loves to worship him! Can't help it!

He is willing to pamper her, but she still takes the initiative to consider his feelings...because she doesn't want to lose everything Guo Shao gave her, just like eating the delicacy in the world and worrying about what to do if she can't eat it in the future, that kind of restriction of worrying about gains and losses.

...Guo Shao sat on the chair and suddenly smiled. He was not prepared yesterday and was in a daze. But in retrospect, I did nothing wrong.

But his smile quickly disappeared again, feeling a little ashamed. He clearly agreed to Fu Jinzhan's matter, but it was broken so quickly... Really, Guo Shao couldn't help but want to taste the beauty that is rare in the world.

This incident made Guo Shao feel a little uncomfortable.

...

When the autumn festival came, Guo Shao missed Ermei Fu very much, so he could only write to her. It will take a while before we can pick her up, because Guo Shao personally sent her back to her natal home, so naturally he has to go pick her up in person, and Tokyo is still not stable at the moment, so he dare not leave for too long.

Guo Shao sorted out the drafts of ideas for the past few days, and took the preparations to go to the court to find someone to discuss. After weighing in the carriage, after entering the Donghua Gate, he went straight to the Privy Council and asked Wang Pu and Wei Renpu to ask for an audience.

Today he has no idea about any beauty, after all, even if he is full of delicacies, he has no appetite.

Moreover, Wang Pu also said that if there is another major event, he would like to participate very much. Considering Wang Pu's defense plan before the mutiny, and Wang Pu's power and talent in the Privy Council, Guo Shao deliberately pulled him into the power circle under the new structure to strengthen his heart.

Wang Pu and Wei Renpu happily went. After a group of three people went through the necessary procedures, they were taken by the eunuch to the side hall of Jinxiang Hall, the study room where the superiors deal with daily state affairs.

It was the first time Guo Shao visited Fu Jinzhan in this place. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a very spacious palace room, where many officials sit and work; there is a curtain on the north side, and people can be faintly seen walking around in the curtain.

Guo Shao and others knelt down and kowtowed together: "I will pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

But no one answered, and after a while, the eunuch Cao Tai came out, and then bent over and said, "The queen mother heard that the privy envoy, the deputy envoy and General Guo are meeting, so I changed the place to meet. The three of you, please come with the miscellaneous family."

The three of them knelt down once in vain, then got up, followed Cao Tai into the curtain, then went out through another door, went up the pavilion to another room. When they entered, they saw Fu Jinzhan sitting in the curtain, and they kowtowed again.

Guo Shao took out a few neatly written papers, raised his hands up, and Cao Tai came down to continue.

Guo Shao presented things, and said: "The generals of the iron cavalry army have committed many crimes of treason, and the entire iron cavalry army's military orders are not effective. I have thought about it for a long time, please rectify the imperial army."

Wei Renpu echoed: "There are so many people missing, it is time to select some generals to fill the military posts. When the new king succeeds to the throne, those who have made great achievements should also be rewarded and promoted, and there should be no delay."

Wang Pu didn't speak, but just stood beside him calmly.

"In the opinion of the last general, just filling the military position is not the best policy. How does the Dianqian Division a few years ago compare with the present? The Iron Cavalry Army used to be called the Xiaodi Army. The Imperial Army does not have to stick to the past." Guo Shao clasped his fists and said, "My suggestion is to reorganize the Imperial Army..."

Not long after, Fu Jinzhan finished reading what Guo Shao presented, and then passed it down for Wang Pu and others to read.

Fu Jinzhan said, "General Guo, but it's okay to say."

Guo Shao continued: "Since the Iron Cavalry Army has been half-paralyzed, the number can be cancelled; it can be assigned to the second elite of the Guard Division separately. The left wing of the Hujie Army has made great contributions in supporting the empress dowager and the new emperor, so it should be incorporated into the Front Division as the inner guard of the Imperial Guard.

To put it simply, the 20,000 army on the left side received some cavalry soldiers (without generals) from the iron cavalry army, and expanded the army to 30,000; it was divided into the left and right sides, and a new army "Hu Benjun" was established. As a result, there were 20,000 cavalry troops left.

The left and right sides of the Long Jie Army were all transferred back to Tokyo for reorganization, and 10,000 people were transferred to the right wing of the Tiger Jie Army, Gao Huaide; the Iron Cavalry Army transferred 10,000 people to expand Gao Huaide's department again. The strength of Gao Huaide's troops expanded to 40,000, divided into left and right sides. The remaining 10,000 cavalry troops were incorporated into the Long Jie Army, and the strength of the Long Jie Army was restored to 40,000. The bodyguard Mabusi still retains the organizational number and strength. "

Guo Shaodao: "The dossier I submitted was edited and expounded by some of my own personnel. If there is anything inappropriate, please correct it by the Queen Mother and the ministers of the Privy Council."

Wang Pu finally said: "General Guo's plan is very clever, the main force of the inner guard will become his confidants, and all those who are slightly unreliable will be transferred to the hub."

Guo Shao was speechless, Wang Pu was right...but it seems a bit disgraceful to open his mouth to say such dark motives.

Wang Pu said again: "The two main forces of the Dianqian Division, the Iron Cavalry Army no longer exists, and the left wing of the Hujie Army is completely the direct line of General Guo's cronies... The Crane Controlling Army has always been the most indifferent force since Liang, Tang, Han, and Jin Dynasties. Most of them are aristocratic families, noble families, and wealthy brothers. When did they participate in internal struggles? General Guo's plan is very clever. If you control and change the squadrons again, no one in the Dianqian Division will oppose you at all."

Guo Shao's complexion was quite ugly. In a few words, Wang Pu revealed his little thoughts clearly, without leaving a fig leaf, damn it!

His opinion of the Crane Control Army is the same as Wang Pu's. This army has basically been on the sidelines for decades, loyal to whoever is in power; it has no performance, but it has no stains. Except for the change of a few generals, the lower levels are so obedient and well behaved, it seems that the upper and lower levels have reached a consensus that everyone will live together in wealth and honor.

Dismantling the Iron Cavalry Army and replacing them with one or two generals of the Crane Control Army, the Dianqian Division is basically Guo Shao's man.

Wang Pu's gaze seemed to be saying: General Guo, what exactly is he trying to do by doing this?
