Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

After taking a nap, Lu Lan went to the next door to call her third aunt. In the afternoon, she had to go to the yard where the wounded soldiers were kept.

The door was closed, and Lu Lan was also a woman, so naturally she pushed the door open without seeing anyone. But I saw a white-haired woman sitting alone in front of the window muttering words, who is not her third aunt? "Third Aunt..." Lu Lan called carefully.

Then Grandma Bai could be heard choking and chanting: "Why? I take care of him, serve him, and give birth to a son for him every day. I take care of everything inside and outside the house... He said that he wants to go to the mountains to study in peace, and I prepare meals for him three times a day, rain or shine... Am I not good to him? What did I do wrong? Why doesn't he even have a little nostalgia..."

Lu Lan was very panicked when she heard this, and stepped forward to hug Grandma Bai's waist sympathetically, and said kindly, "Third Aunt did nothing wrong, it's just that the man is not a thing. Put those things aside, we can live without relying on that ungrateful person."

Grandma Bai shook her head vigorously, and tears rolled down her face: "It's my fault. Lan'er is right. I'm getting old before I get old. If my body wasn't shriveled, he wouldn't despise me..."

"I was joking with the third aunt at noon, don't forget to take it to heart." Lu Lan frowned, "So the third aunt should treat herself better and stop treating herself like that. You will never die. How can there be anyone in the world who will cherish you no matter what you look like?"

Grandma Bai was not in good condition, so Lu Lan had no choice but to go to the Wounded Soldiers' Yard by herself to arrange the dosage of the prepared soup.

In the evening, elders of the Bai family came and asked Grandma Bai to go to the restaurant on Xianqian Street tomorrow morning to meet the elders and elders of various families in Wushan County.

...

That matter was arranged by Guo Shao. Early the next morning, he opened his eyes and thought about the recent affairs, and then remembered the meeting with Grandma Wushan. As usual, Guo Shao first got up, washed and dressed, and when he went out, he saw Lu Chengyong, who was in the personal army, and asked, "Is there any news about Dong Zunhui's return?"

Lu Chengyong replied: "Reply to my lord, no."

Guo Shao asked again: "Is there any news for those who went to explore the other way of Chijia Mountain?" Lu Chengyong said: "No."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "I've only been there for two days, maybe I'm too impatient. But living in this place, I can't move, I'm really flustered."

After breakfast, Zuo You came to remind him, Guo Shaosui took people out of the county government office, and met people from Wushan County in a restaurant on Qianjie. The inside and outside of the restaurant are full of soldiers, and the place has been cleared out. Some old men entered the restaurant one after another, and some people in their seventies and eighties had to be supported to walk... It seems that this kind of people can't do much, but in fact they are quite powerful in the local area. Because seniority, fame and even the government have to consider their wishes.

Guo Shao went to the hall and exchanged greetings with a group of old men. The county magistrate and several village elders introduced names one by one. Guo Shao pretended to be very interested, and politely said that he met them... In fact, he couldn't remember anyone, and he was not interested.

Not long after, the little lady who was covering her face and Grandma Wushan also came, Guo Shao greeted him and said: "I am honored to meet the famous Wushan master in this county. It is an honor."

Grandma Bai of Wushan bent her knees and made a blessing: "Cao Min pays homage to Marshal Guo. The grass people have been unwell for the past two days, so please forgive me for coming late."

"It's all right." Guo Shao said with a smile, "As long as you show me some face, it will be a great face."

A group of people took their seats at the square table in the hall, and a middle-aged man said: "The Zhou army came to Wushan County in the autumn without any crime. The people in my county are grateful for the benevolence of Marshal Guo. Two days ago, we prepared some thin wine to reward the army, but love is not enough." He turned to look at the old man with white hair and beard sitting above the table.

"Wait a moment." Guo Shao hurriedly said, "Everyone, you folks and elders in Wushan County, you may have misunderstood a bit. The general is not here today to blackmail...that is to raise money."

Everyone looked at Guo Shao, and the speaker stopped temporarily.

Guo Shao continued: "Wushan County is such a big place, and it's not a particularly rich place. The resources of a county are of no use to more than 20,000 elite soldiers. It would be too much for me to suck the bones, wouldn't it? Our food and salaries can be transported from the Yangtze River for the time being, and there is no shortage of food."

After hearing this, everyone praised General Guo Renyi. The middle-aged man who just spoke asked: "Then General Guo today..."

Guo Shao said kindly: "I have a good friend, Wang Pu, the privy envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is a privy envoy and minister, and he has a lot of room to speak regardless of the country's military policy. Wang Pu believes that the tax system of the current Zhou Dynasty is too heavy. After the unification of Shu in the future, if the Great Zhou's national policy is copied in the 'recovered' places, it may make the people of Shu feel too heavy. He advocates compassion for the people of Shu..."

After hearing this, all the gentry, gentry and elders praised Wang Pu again, and they did not hesitate to speak well of Wang Pu.

Guo Shaodao: "In the Great Zhou court, not everyone has the same views as Wang Pu. You should understand that our dynasty established the Central Plains, not only to clean up the broken mountains and rivers, but also to face the northern nomadic cavalry and bear the northern defense line. The consumption is very large...Only Wang Pu has a longer-term perspective.

Now Wang Pu is seriously ill, and treatment is ineffective. If there is no divine doctor to help, I am afraid..."

The oldest "grandfather" said: "Isn't Grandma Bai of Wushan the most brilliant master in this county? Why don't you let her try to heal the envoy Wang?"

As soon as Guo Shao heard it, it was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately said: "I am here today to seek help from the Wushan sage. Because Wang Pu is thousands of miles away from Tokyo, he is seriously ill and cannot withstand the turbulence, so I want to ask the Wushan sage to go. If Wang Pu can be cured in the future, there will be a retribution...Of course, the more important thing is the long-term plan. If Wang Pu recovers, it will be of great benefit to the people of Wushan and even the entire Shu region in the future; Wang Pu's proposition will benefit the people of the Shu region."

At this moment, the young lady suddenly said sharply: "Marshal Guo is really good at tricks! You made such a big battle just to force us to go to Tokyo thousands of miles away. Your hat is so big. If the third aunt doesn't go, it will be a shame for the people of the entire Shu Kingdom. Who can afford it?"

Guo Shao was at a loss when he heard that, going to Tokyo to save people was really hard work, but he didn't let her work in vain, saying that she was being used too much. Although I have the suspicion of persecution that I am determined to win, what I said is not a lie. Wang Pu's proposition in the letter is basically the same... If you follow the political views of most people in the Zhengshitang and focus on plundering the resources of the Shu Kingdom, you people who have been peaceful and relaxed for decades, can you bear the Zhou Dynasty's approach all at once?

At this time, "Grandfather" poked the ground with his crutches, and said angrily, "Whose girl? There is no big or small, no rules! You have lost all the etiquette of our Wushan people. Marshal Guo is reasonable, but if you ask someone from the Bai family to go to treat the illness, can't you tell who is big and who is small!"

An old man said: "Grandfather of the Li family calmed down, it's all because the younger generation has no control."

"Grandfather" said: "If Grandma Bai of Wushan doesn't go, I will trap my whole Wushan people into injustice, and I will have no face to face people in Sichuan in the future!"

"Go, even if this junior has tied her up, let her see a doctor." The gray-haired old man said, calling himself a junior.

At this moment, the little lady said again: "If you want to tie me up, then tie me up. The real Grandma Bai of Wushan is me, not the third aunt. If you don't believe me, ask a few people from the Bai family, the world mistakenly thinks it is my third aunt, just because her hair is white, spreading rumors."

After hearing this, Guo Shao looked at the young lady, he couldn't see what she looked like with the mask on...she couldn't see clearly without the mask, her face was swollen. He was suddenly puzzled, and blurted out: "You are so young, will you be the master of Wushan?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the elders of Bai's family." Xiao Niang said, "Don't judge people by their age."

Sure enough, someone came out to prove that the person who earned the reputation of "Wushan White Grandma" and "Wushan Master" is this Lu Xiaoniang.

Grandma Bai, known as the third aunt, suddenly asked, "Marshal Guo is going to Chengdu?"

Guo Shaozheng didn't know who was who, so he replied: "Of course I'm going to Chengdu. Our Zhou army attacked Shu in two directions. The purpose is to destroy the Meng Chang regime and unify it into one country."

Grandma Bai hurriedly said: "You take me to Chengdu, Lan'er and I will let you go to Tokyo to treat your friends."

"Is it true?" Guo Shao asked.

Grandma Bai said: "You let me go to Chengdu to find my husband, and I am willing to help you with anything."

Guo Shao understood what was going on when he heard it, and immediately said: "Deal... OK! If I knew this, why should I bother you old people?" He clasped his fists and said to the people around him: "My friend Wang Pu is really a rare talent, and he is also a benevolent gentleman who cares about the people. I really want him to live, so I am bothering you."

Guo Shao was just dealing with one matter, and he didn't want to keep it after it was done. It was originally a meaningless occasion. Unexpectedly, Grandma Bai followed him all the time, and did not leave after following him... Earlier, Guo Shao was afraid that it would be difficult to find her, so he sent his own soldiers to watch;

Walking out of the restaurant, Guo Shao persuaded: "We have to attack the city all the way to Chengdu. I don't know how long it will take. Bai Shengshou will help me treat the wounded soldiers first. When we go, I will send someone to call you."

Grandma Bai said: "You really want to help me find a husband?"

Guo Shaodao: "It's hard to follow a man's word, so I'll do my best... Or, I'll send someone to send you to Tokyo for medical treatment; after I take Chengdu, I'll take your husband back to Tokyo and bring him to you? It's said that he's been admitted to Jinshi in Shu Kingdom and is now an official? Then it's easy to find, as long as you give me your name."

Grandma Bai shook her head and said: "I don't believe anyone, I haven't seen my husband, don't blame me and Lan'er for not treating your friend, you should ask Gao Ming."

"This..." Guo Shao rubbed the back of his head, "Actually, even if you find him, what's the use?"
