Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"The geisha sent by the Southern Tang Kingdom will perform dances tonight. Let's have a banquet in the big tent. You can set up the place." Guo Shao walked outside the gate of the nearby Chinese army big tent, and suddenly turned his head and said a word to the generals beside him.

Lu Chengyong had no expression on his face, he clasped his fists vigorously and saluted, "I will understand in the end."

When Guo Shao raised his head, he was the first to see a square flag embroidered with tigers hanging on a high flagpole. He wrote: "Everyone in front of the palace will inspect the general of the world's soldiers and horses, Guo." The red flag material and gold thread embroidery are particularly eye-catching under the pale sky, the gray clouds, and small snowflakes are floating in the air, like small white petals falling. The Chinese military tent is larger than all the surrounding tents, and the shape is also different, only this tent is round like a granary.

Guo Shao walked to the door, and the two rows of soldiers spread their legs and raised the cherry guns to show their respect. Guo Shao also nodded to them, but the other generals around him ignored the pawns standing guard.

As soon as you enter the big tent, you will see a wide and empty space. This is the place where the Chinese army orders generals or discusses military affairs. It is equivalent to the lobby of the government office. There is a chair above it, and some rough wooden benches on both sides. But there is no fighting today, the generals are all in their respective barracks, there is no one inside, it looks very empty.

There was no one in the big tent, Guo Shao carried a sack filled with paper, walked around the upper chair, opened the curtain and walked in. Inside is a slightly cramped place, with a wooden table and bench, these things are rough and made of new wood, which are things made by the craftsmen after camping.

Guo Shao threw the sack on the table, turned around, and saw many small notes on a vertical "blackboard". "Li Yu" is written on the highest piece of paper, and the names of Liu Cheng, Chen Qiao, Han Xizai, etc. are placed below, and they are connected by lines in the middle. There is also a map hanging on the right side of the board. Guo Shao stood there, looked at the names without saying a word, then turned his head to look at the map, and found the place in Jingkou very skillfully.

At this time, someone said carefully outside the door: "My lord, General Li has come in."

"En." Guo Shao made a sound without looking back.

Not long after, Li Chuyun lifted the curtain and came in. Guo Shao had his back to him, but he knew that Li Chuyun was standing there and not sitting there. General Li and Shi Yanchao had completely different temperaments, and he knew etiquette very well.

"General Li, please sit down." Guo Shao said something before turning around.

Li Chuyun clasped his fists and said, "My lord."

Guo Shao cupped his hands slightly, found a wooden stool and sat down, and said: "Liu Cheng was deployed in the east of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his knowledge and ability are very average. A while ago, Cao Bin followed the Wuyue army to the west, and he lost two important towns with a little trick. This shows that Liu Cheng is no more than a mere generation."

Li Chuyun nodded in agreement.

Guo Shao said again: "During the period when this person controlled the Jingkou navy, the timing is very appropriate for us to launch the Jingkou water war."

Li Chuyun said: "The secret work of the Jiangning Mansion has been secret recently. I saw it when Wang Shijun (Wang Pu) sent it over. Has my lord read it?"

Guo Shao nodded.

Li Chuyun stroked his thick black beard, and said: "After Lin Renzhao was defeated and returned to Jiangning, Liu Cheng made trouble. There was a gap between Lin and Liu; Chen Qiao (assistant of Guangzheng Yuan) and Lin Renzhao had a good relationship. From this, it can be speculated that Chen Qiao may attack Liu Cheng in the court, and it is impossible to predict whether Liu Cheng will lose his military power in the east."

"General Li is right." Guo Shao nodded, and looked back at the notes, "But it is said that Li Yu has a lot of trust in Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng's appointment to the east is Li Yu's order. After all, Chen Qiao is a minister, and it is not easy to attack the coach appointed by the lord."

Li Chuyun pondered and said: "Li Yu looks humble, but he doesn't look like a docile person...he is in the deep palace, and he is not capable enough to face the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he will not give in easily. What the lord said is very true, I am afraid that he will not completely obey the minister."

When Li Chuyun said this, he thought in his heart that it was the Southern Tang Yihe envoy and the gang of singing girls who were suspected of being assassins. I heard that Guo Shao kept a singing girl in his tent last night. At that time, Zuo You remonstrated and disobeyed Guo Shao and guarded in his tent for the whole night. It was basically a bad thing for others; Zuo You was very nervous about Guo Shao's safety, and there was nothing wrong with him doing that.

In fact, Li Chuyun also cares about Guo Shao's safety. In this circle, Guo Shao is the core figure, who doesn't care? But Li Chuyun did not try to persuade him as faithfully as Zuo You. Because he felt that Guo Shao's deeds might have been calculated... What kind of person is Guo Shao? Li Chuyun looked up and saw the note and map pasted on the wooden board. A meticulous and cautious person, he thought about countless small things in the whole battle. Such a person will not be able to see the hidden dangers of those people?

Li Chuyun reckoned that, apart from Guo Shao's confidence in his discerning eyesight and showing his trust and love for the woman, the most important thing for staying with a singing girl was that someone would try to persuade her. How can the civil and military around him sit idly by? The fact is also true, Zuo You played that role.

It's just that Guo Shao also has his own character, he is indeed a character that is not doubted by others, so Li Chuyun and others are actually very safe working under him, and they have hardly been suspected. Li Chuyun led the troops, and was boldly appointed to make decisions on the fly. It's hard for anyone to say whether Guo Shao's approach is an advantage or a disadvantage.

... At this time Zuo You and Dong Zunhui also came in, Guo Shao said casually: "Mr. Zuo can survive quite a bit, isn't he sleepy now?"

Then it was Shi Yanchao who walked in, and the small room suddenly became lively. It's strange to think about it, there is a big place outside to stay, and a group of people are crowded into this small place, because Guo Shao came here first.

Shi Yanchao said: "I heard that Wang Pu will arrive at the barracks tomorrow?"

Li Chuyun didn't say anything, Zuo You responded. Although Shi Yanchao only called Wang Pu by his first name, he respected him when he saw him; there really were no surprises in the world. Both Wang Pu and Shi Yanchao were very difficult to get along with in the civil and military circles of the Zhou Dynasty. However, Shi Yanchao, a man covered in thorns, rarely had conflicts with Wang Pu, and he spoke politely. This made him wonder when Wang Pu arrived.

Guo Shao listened to his ears and thought that a person like Shi Yanchao might be a typical example of an arrogant soldier. He is not disobedient, but only respects people he thinks are strong. Although Wang Pu is a civil servant, he is obviously not a person with a vain name. Shi Yanchao, a reckless man, is quite knowledgeable.

The group began to discuss one after another, because Guo Shao himself did not say a word.

People around are talking about military affairs, mainly the war of words in Beijing that is being deployed. And Guo Shao was a little distracted for a while, he thought of Zhou Xian again, although this woman could not be compared with the sisters of the Fu family, she was indeed a woman who attracted him.

How to get Zhou Xian is a test of hard work.

Of course, it is very simple to swallow her whole and occupy her, just like men in the world, imprisoning women directly, isn't the courtyard's deep etiquette of three obediences and four virtues just to imprison women? But by doing so, I am afraid that she will never get what is really good for her; if a woman is unwilling, it will be difficult to show her charming side.

Guo Shao has always believed that the highest enjoyment lies in emotion. Otherwise, the process of letting her lie upright on the bed and endure the insult is no different from that of a doll?

For a moment, he even lost his mind in the army, and Zhou Xian's pitiful gentleness, that attentive service appeared in his mind... This woman is born with something that arouses a man's manly feelings, she will swell herself in front of her, and can't help wanting to take care of her. There are other good things, all of which make Guo Shao think about it. He thought of a place that is gentle and soft, and his heart seemed to be caressed by a rough brush; and her unbearable performance, so Guo Shao felt that he was extremely powerful.

Guo Shao breathed out, thinking about the banquet tonight, if there are indeed assassins among these people, it would be better to give them a chance to expose. As a result, the Jiangning Mansion could not blame Zhou Xian and the others for the responsibility; whether to act or not was a matter of loyalty, and no one could be sure whether it would succeed or not. Zhou Xian should face less pressure in the future... Guo Shao understands that living alone is not an independent existence, she has various identities and concerns.

Moreover, until now, he is still puzzled and surprised that Li Yu has the courage to send assassins, and he is still not sure about the reliability of those signs.
