Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the late autumn season, it is very cold to sit outside at night, but the good thing is that there are no mosquitoes at all. It was very quiet all around, not even the chirping of insects in summer... The only sound was the bell from somewhere far away.

Guo Shao held the smooth jade hand of Fu Ermei in his palm, and was staring at the scenery on both sides of the lake in a daze.

A place that belongs to me, a woman that belongs to me, there should be a small garden behind the house, and I can sit and talk with her at the door after I finish my work every day. It was a dream a long time ago, but now, that little wish is nothing to Guo Shao, he can even satisfy other people's wish with just a raise of his hand.

But at this moment, his heart couldn't calm down, he couldn't relax, and he was still thinking about the outside world.

The remaining 20,000 cavalry troops planned to be incorporated into the Guards Division are basically in a state of disorganization and paralysis, because less than half of the troops have been withdrawn one after another; the generals are also faulty due to the purge. The bodyguard Ma Busi actually only has the second wing left in Tokyo, the left wing of the Tiger Jie army has been reorganized, and the left wing of the Long Jie army has not yet arrived in Tokyo...

The remaining hatchbacks of the Guards Division cannot fight, otherwise the reorganization plan of the Guards Division will be suspended; thus affecting the reorganization schedule of the rest of the Iron Cavalry Army. It is not a good thing for the cavalry to be paralyzed for a long time and slowly lose control; the reorganization must continue without stopping.

Guo Shao can only use the troops of the Dianqian Division, among which the Huben Army is a direct-line army; he would rather keep some of them to ensure the security inside and outside of Tokyo, deter and threaten other troops of the Imperial Army, and troops from outside towns, rather than transfer them all... Then he will draw troops from the Crane Control Army to supplement the troops for the expedition.

"I will send my second sister to the palace tomorrow to be with the Queen Mother," Guo Shao said.

Second Sister Fu forced a smile, nodded and smiled and said, "Well, I haven't seen Eldest Sister for a long time, so I happened to talk to her."

"Hey..." Guo Shao sighed softly, "We just met again, and I'm going out again."

"Husband just do business with peace of mind, don't worry about me." Second Sister Fu said lightly.

Guo Shao held her hand: "But there will always be time to write letters."

Second Sister Fu smiled and said, "Oh, my husband is free, I'll teach you how to practice calligraphy."

"I will keep Li Chuyun, and the Empress Dowager asked him to lead the inspection in Tokyo. In this way, I can feel relieved." Guo Shao said. Second Sister Fu whispered, "Is Li Chuyun the father of the Li Yuan'er you mentioned?" Guo Shao said, "That's him."

Second Sister Fu smiled and said, "Then you dare not let Li Yuaner down."

Guo Shao said kindly: "Before I married my second sister, I knew her; when I met her, I didn't know my second sister. She is a very good girl, but I will still ask for my second sister's consent first, and see if you care about it; no matter how good a person is, his position in my heart is worse than that of my second sister."

Second Sister Fu asked softly: "If my father hadn't been King Wei and my elder sister was the queen at that time, you would have married Li Yuan'er, right? Because I was a stranger to you at the time."

"Don't mention the past, now I care about the second sister most." Guo Shao said hurriedly.

Second Sister Fu smiled lightly: "It's okay, didn't I tell you everything, you didn't even know me at that time, so how can you blame me for not doing it? I just can't help but want to understand my husband's heart."

Guo Shao nodded bluntly and said: "That's right, but there are so many good women in the world, I can't just like whoever I see. At that time, I really didn't think much about Li Yuan'er, it just so happened that she fell in love with me."

Second Sister Fu asked again: "Does your husband trust Li Chuyun?"

"Talk about trust. But..." Guo Shao looked into her eyes, "In this world, it is not easy to have one or two people who can really be trusted completely. Ordinary people may be more likely to trust others because they have no chance to be tested by greater temptation, and the chips for betrayal are not big enough. The late emperor (Chai Rong) trusted Zhao Kuangyin very much. What will Zhao Kuangyin do when the opportunity is ripe?"

Second Sister Fu muttered quietly: "It's my husband's wish that you don't trust Li Chuyun?"

"No, I trust him." Guo Shao touched the back of his head. Fu Ermei laughed and said, "Am I so stupid that I told you that I didn't understand it for a long time."

Guo Shao patiently and gently said: "I haven't said anything yet. The second sister understands what I said. The second sister is very smart, but she didn't have much contact with her before... It has to be said that most relationships cannot be simply distinguished by right and wrong, black and white.

I trust Li Chuyun very much now, because he has no chance at all now. The Commander of the Commander in front of the palace is like a rising cloud, with no foundation and no prestige; he can only keep his position by relying on me. Objectively speaking, it is impossible for him to have two minds, and Li Chuyun's character and loyalty are still very good; I have the kindness to know him, and I have fought side by side on the battlefield and in critical moments. A person who is like a brother in need, why don't I trust him?

I don't trust him very much, and I don't feel at ease letting him stay in Tokyo to take charge of the situation, so that the queen mother can have reliable people to use at critical moments.

...However, among all the trusted senior generals under my command, Li Chuyun is the only one who is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and has a lot of knowledge; In the few years I have been with him, I have also found that his strategic vision is very unique.

Once such a character makes him full-fledged, has a group of followers and roots, and has prestige, he may become the late emperor's Zhao Kuangyin. When the opportunity is ripe, he can't help but want to get something; if he doesn't want to, others will think for him. "

Guo Shao sighed and said: "So I have to prevent him from becoming another Zhao Kuangyin early on, which is beneficial to him... War is the fastest way to improve prestige, status and strength; you see, in these years, a few years can create a general or even an emperor, that is war. I asked Li Chuyun to lead as few troops as possible to fight, and gave him a high position and military power. His strength will not be able to increase; when he is used, his talent is still there. Li Chuyun has no foundation and prestige. To think about things that shouldn't be him.

This is also a consideration for me not to keep Yang Biao this time, but to keep Li Chuyun. Yang Biao is my brother, with his virtues, he can clearly distinguish between good and bad, and he doesn't know how to compromise at all. He doesn't seem like a master. "

Second Sister Fu was thoughtful, and said with a smile: "Why do I suddenly feel that my husband is really old and cunning... Hey, don't be angry."

Guo Shao smiled and said: "I have such a good wife... My wife is beautiful and beautiful; in this troubled world, I was also forced out. If I don't have any means, wouldn't I help someone else to raise me? What if I was robbed?"

Fu Ermei's soft chest leaned on his arm: "My husband is actually very good. If I asked my father and brother about these things, they would have been impatient, but you would tell me slowly... I don't know why, just being with you and talking to you makes me feel beautiful."

"Me too," Guo Shaorou said, "but this time is indeed a fighter opportunity, and we can't lose it easily for the sake of staying together. If it is too early, Li Jixun is standing in Taiyue, Zezhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is gnawing on hard bones, so the war may take a long time; if it is too late, I am afraid that Jinzhou will be lost, let Li Chongjin and Li Jixun meet... But now is the right time. , I am in a hurry to send troops.”

...

In the Li Mansion next night, Li Chuyun was also with his family.

"Before the expedition, you can't go to see Guo Du for inspection!" Li Chuyun said sternly to his daughter.

Li Yuan'er kept her head down without saying a word.

Looking back at his wife, Li Chuyun said earnestly: "Men must be loyal and women must be loyal. No matter what the world is, this is the foundation of life! You can't easily commit yourself to others, and you must never abandon the Lord easily. Back then in Binzhou, how did Zhe Deliang treat me? He even wrote a letter to falsely accuse me; did I betray Zhe Gong? In the end, Zhe Deliang used three indiscriminate methods to deal with my family members, I couldn't bear it!

Look at Guodu's inspection now, how does it treat me? Li is a reliable person in everything he does, hmph...

You have read so many classics and epic books, is the Three Kingdoms in troubled times? Do you know the slave of the three surnames, Lu Bu? Lu Bu is not a hero, almost unbeatable in battle, but what happened to him in the end, and was he ever truly trusted and used by others? This is the lesson of history to the world! "

Mrs. Wang also helped to persuade: "Yuan'er, both father and mother love you so much, and have always been obedient to you. What your father says is reasonable, and you should listen to him."

"Yeah." Li Yuan'er said helplessly, "Of course I will listen to what my parents say, don't worry."

Wang sighed: "Alas, you deserve to be like this, it's been so long. You put your heart into it, how much heart does Brother Shao put into it? Mother is not worth it for you!"

Li Yuan'er's eyes were a little distracted: "Needless to say, I'm not stupid, of course I can feel it... But there are some people who can't see him once in a long time, and the short time we spend together is unforgettable. It's not because he is so kind to me, but just wants to see her and is willing to be with him. It's not like those princely offices I've seen before. Difficult. Luckily not."

Wang turned her head to look at Li Chuyun and said, "I have raised her for twenty years like a heart, but when she grew up, she was seduced by someone. Sooner or later, she will belong to someone else's family... It's better to raise a child. (Li) Jilong will never deny his parents when he grows up."

Li Yuan'er stepped forward and grabbed Wang Shi, blushing and said: "Who said you don't recognize you?"

Li Chuyun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Everyone has their own advantages."
