Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The main force of the army will have to wait for a while for the time being. The Hanshui Fleet from Xiangzhou and the combined fleet composed of the Hanyang Army Navy (Wuhan) headed upstream from the Yangtze River at a slow speed. The East Route Army must cooperate with the navy to take the Yangtze River waterway. However, the forward Dong Zunjiao's department and part of the fleet had already set off in the direction of Guizhou, bringing the captured Jingnan Army sailors.

The Zhou army in Jingzhou has a good military discipline. It is a quiet night. But Guo Shao's heart is not peaceful at all.

He flipped through various articles and drawings, and re-summarized the information in his notebook. The ancients were actually rich in experience and wisdom, but their thinking patterns were different. They could not use tree-shaped inductive summarization methods (such as writing methods such as reports), and all kinds of information seemed very messy.

Guo Shao's fingers slowly groped along a winding line on the map to two vague writings: Kuizhou.

If there is someone next to him at this time, he will definitely be moved by his eyes. His eyes are so focused, it seems to have a certain love expression, and there is a forbearing desire in the tenderness. Jiangshan can really make people addicted, if people can feel that they are in their own hands.

Even a modern person will return to the ancient instinct state, the primitive instinct of a man... just like a lord, longing for his own territory, where he has the final say, what he wants to change, what he wants to create depends entirely on his own wishes, where he wants to realize his thoughts, attempts, will and dreams. Back then, Guo Shao's simplest dream of "having a place of his own" contained this desire, and his own place could give him the most basic dignity and security.

Guo Shao yawned, dropped the picture in his hand, and looked at the waist ornament next to him.

He couldn't help picking it up and rubbing it, thinking of Fu Jinzhan in his heart. This waist ornament is a bit old, and after washing many times, the stitches on it are still crooked. Guo Shao touched the stitches on it with his fingers, as if he saw Fu Jinzhan secretly embroidering alone.

He picked up his pen and wrote something to describe his mood at this time. Guo Shao is not as graceful and reserved as the ancients. He will tell what he feels, instead of hiding it and pretending to be deep.

"I can imagine your appearance after reading this, pursing your lips and thinking to yourself: It would be nice to be able to embroider for you. I also dislike your poor craftsmanship, and I don't think your handwriting is bad. But then you should lightly stroke the hair tips around your ears with your hands. That's what you often do, and maybe there will be a blush on your cheeks. Maybe only I am lucky enough to see this other side of you..."

"The battle to attack Shu is about to begin. This battle is of great importance. In order to stabilize the situation in Dazhou, I don't want to let you down."

Guo Shao scribbled a dense small script. After thinking about it, this letter can't be delivered at all. If it is sent to the palace, it seems not very safe. If it is seen by others, it is nothing to ask for trouble. At the moment, I had no choice but to put it away, and turned it into a self-entertaining text that could not be sent.

...

In Chengdu, the news of the war came again. Xingzhou, Qingniling and other places once again urgently reported that they were aggressively attacked by the Zhou army; in the east, Kuizhou urgently reported that Jingnan Kingdom had surrendered, and the Zhou army had already occupied Jiangling.

This time it's not like scaring people, the two roads come together, the movement is so big.

Meng Chang was frightened, and Yaxing, who was lingering in the flowers, was disturbed again, and hurriedly called the ministers to discuss countermeasures. The courtroom was as usual, and the officials started to quarrel as soon as they stayed together.

A minister questioned Wang Zhaoyuan: "Didn't Vice Envoy Wang say at the end of last year that Guo Tiejiang had no ambitions? Now that the two groups are aggressively invading the bandits, the plot is very obvious. What do you say?"

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "What do you mean, you want to persuade His Majesty to give up the title? The Zhou army has already mobilized troops, and it is useless to give up the title now!"

"What kind of honor is Hugh talking nonsense, the old man is asking you now, what do you mean by claiming that Zhou Jun has been rejected from the country and can sit back and relax?" The minister was aggressive.

Seeing Wang Zhaoyuan's embarrassment, Prime Minister Li Hao just felt angry, but Li Hao didn't dare to blame Wang Zhaoyuan and help him, otherwise it would be related to the fact that Li Hao's family was so rich that they raised countless singing prostitutes and wrote down the list.

Wang Zhaoyuan blushed and said: "Using troops against my Great Shu rashly means that you have great ambitions! Zhou Ting was forced to do nothing. The little emperor's mother and son could not stabilize the situation with a Guo blacksmith, and their prestige was insufficient, so they urgently needed to make great contributions to frighten everyone around. , They can't even break through a Qingniling Ridge, can they conquer the natural dangers such as Jianmen on the North Road and Three Gorges on the East Road?

There will be civil strife after this war in the Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty should organize the army to prepare for the war and leave Sichuan at the right time. "

General Li Tinggui said: "You have to defend the important areas on both sides first. Since Deputy Wang is eloquent and has presented a strategy in front of His Majesty, how should we defend? Where should we focus on the north and east roads?"

Wang Zhaoyuan took two steps, if he was in deep thought, he didn't speak for a while.

Li Hao said: "The Eastern Army of the Zhou Army is inspected in front of the palace by Guo Shao, who leads the army personally. The Division in front of the Temple has always been the most elite troops in the Zhou Army. I think that our troops are not as powerful as the Zhou Army, and that we should make up for the weakness by several times the number of people. We should concentrate the main force on the east. We should first defend the Three Gorges and Kuizhou, and then gather heavy troops in Dongchuan to block the Eastern Army. The Zhou Army on the North Road is a partial division, mainly suppressing troops. help."

Wang Zhaoyuan sneered and said, "Prime Minister Li is right. Instead of setting up troops to guard against the dangerous Jianmen of Bashan, you want to let the Zhou army go to the Xichuan Plain to fight in the field?"

Li Hao said: "If Vice Envoy Wang has a good opinion, let's hear it."

Wang Zhaoyuan seemed to have figured out a way, and at this moment he was very calm, and said calmly: "Eight words can break the army of the Zhou Dynasty."

Meng Chang's curiosity was aroused, and he asked anxiously, "Which horoscope?"

"Defend everywhere, and win by surprise." Wang Zhaoyuan bowed long, "The reinforcements are divided into two groups, relying on the terrain to defend layer by layer, and keep the Zhou army out of the country! Why does Dongchuan need heavy troops? Gao Yanchou is not in Kuizhou. His Majesty sends another reinforcement. There is the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the strong city of Kuizhou, and it is enough to resist the enemy. Defeat it in one fell swoop!"

Meng Chang pondered for a moment, feeling that Li Hao's statement was unreliable, that he wanted to weaken the North Road and open up Mianzhou (Mianyang), which is the closest to Chengdu... Once Mianzhou was lost, Chengdu was directly under the city; in comparison, Dongchuan was farther away, and there were many important towns along the road. Meng Chang really didn't see the brilliance of Li Hao's strategy, so he said: "I think Deputy Wang's strategy is more reliable, and we should rely on the favorable location to defend in dangerous places. But our army can't act rashly, taking important places as a joke."

Wang Zhaoyuan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the defenders of the city also seize the opportunity to go out of the city to attack and harass. It is not the best policy to blindly defend. From time to time, destroy a group of enemy troops to weaken their strength, and it will be easier to defend; offense and defense are both good and bad."

Li Hao persuaded urgently: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the false words of the deputy king! No matter how dangerous the country is, you have to use troops to fight. Dividing troops is a big taboo; what's more, continuous resistance and continuous defeat will affect the morale of the entire army, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Meng Chang couldn't get attention for a while, and after a while there was another quarrel in the court.
