Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

After eating, Guo Shao returned to the residence behind the lobby for a lunch break. ..., a wing room that was originally a temporary residence for officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty. At this time, it no longer feels like a bedroom, because there are pictures hanging everywhere on the walls, and one wall is also covered with notes.

It was better than living in a tent, so Guo Shao sat down on a bed. After all, he was in an enemy country, and he was still wearing a fine chain mail vest, so he took off the armor himself. At this time, I felt the paper stuffed in my pocket just now, and when I unfolded it, there were four sentences that were still so eye-catching: the obscene talisman serves the three husbands, the country is the wedding dress;

A wave of shame suddenly hit Guo Shao's heart. The most vicious curse in this world is not made out of nothing, but a misinterpretation of a fact; the right way is that things are never the same, but people's hearts are different... No wonder it will be written on all documents of later generations, and the final interpretation right belongs to oneself.

"Wow... bang!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked it, overturning the teacups on the tables next to him to the ground, and the ceramic quilt was broken into several pieces. At this time, there was no one around, his face was completely uncovered, his face was livid and murderous, he crumpled the paper in his hand, and touched the saber with his hand.

Hearing the voice, Lu Chengyong walked to the door, and was startled when he saw Guo Shao's appearance, he quickly bowed and said, "My lord..."

But Guo Shao would never vent his anger on the people around him, and he also realized that the sword in his hand could not kill the enemy or anyone. He exhaled, let go of the hilt of the sword, stood up and lifted the brush on the inkstone in front of the desk, and wrote vigorously.

After a while, Guo Shao greeted Lu Chengyong: "Give this piece of paper to Zuo You and let him do it."

"Here." Lu Chengyong answered with cupped fists, and strode out of the room.

Guo Shao paced back and forth in the room, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin was not an idler, and it might not be useful to offer a reward to recruit security and divorce. The anger in his heart was still there, and he said silently: I just want to be the emperor, and I will do it better than you!

He took a deep breath, only to feel that the affairs of the world cannot be cut and sorted out with a quick sword. First of all, I can't be sorry to Jinzhan. Her kindness, kindness, and trust will never be forgotten in ten lifetimes.

Guo Shao walked to the wall, which was covered with names. There are people from the Southern Tang Kingdom, Wuyue Kingdom, and Dazhou. There is also a topographic map beside it, but some of the highlighted circled places are now not the marked place names, but the names of people. For example, the location of Luzhou says "Li Yun".

He looked at it for a while, then simply put the pen and paper on the coffee table where the teacup was overturned just now, and lay down on the couch to look at the things on the wall. His eyesight is very good, which is also the basic requirement for archery, so he can read clearly from a distance.

Guo Shao picked up a pen and wrote "internal contradictions" and "uniting people's hearts" on the small notebook, and then drew two circles and an arrow pointing to another word "internal contradictions". After a while, he wrote: Shu and Nantang are destroyed, there is no military pressure in the south, attention should be directed to the north...

At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Did the concubine disturb General Guo?"

Guo Shao turned his head and saw Zhou Xian holding Zhou Jiamin's hand and standing outside the door, with Lu Chengyong standing behind him. He immediately sat up and said, "No, please sit inside."

Lu Chengyong clasped his fists outside the door to salute, and retreated without saying a word. The second woman walked into the room, Zhou Xian bent his knees lightly, and said: "General Guo saved the second sister, we should have come here to express our thanks."

Guo Shao put down the pen and paper, glanced at Zhou Xian, and saw that her eyes were not only grateful, but also sad and entangled... But her eyes are so beautiful, bright, and affectionate. Because they are good-looking, they can only be beautiful in that kind of mood. The little girl who is much shorter than Zhou Xian has a pair of similar-looking eyes on Tuesday, but this little girl is not sad. She is looking at the things stuck on the wall with wide-eyed curiosity, and looking down at the fragments of teacups on the ground.

Guo Shao paused, and soon thought of the fire in the palace hall of the Southern Tang Kingdom. Zhou Xian must be able to know from sister Tuesday that Li Yu was still alive when she met Guo Shao; even if Li Yu had put away the firewood in advance, sister Zhou also saw Li Yu killed... But with Zhou Xian's wisdom, it should be guessed that Guo Shao wanted Li Yu to die, and that would be the end.

"You don't need to be too polite." Guo Shao said, and pondered again, "There is no need to mention the matter in the barracks (Zhou Xian warned about the assassination) in the future, otherwise people in the south of the Yangtze River will talk nonsense... In the future, Ehuang will have a distinguished status in the Central Plains court, and your reputation will also be protected. After all, you were canonized."

After hearing this, Zhou Xian's eyes sparkled, and he choked up and said: "The Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed, the reason for the strength and weakness. Why does General Guo treat me so well, you call me like that... I don't know what to think."

Tuesday's sister couldn't help but look up at her sister's face.

Guo Shao said kindly: "Duke Zhou has passed away, Zhou Jiamin still has to rely on you, and there are other tribesmen, you can't bear to see Jiamin helpless? So live well, forget the sad things before, I won't treat you badly."

Zhou Xian lowered his head and quietly wiped away his tears.

Guo Shao glanced back at the name on the wall, and asked, "Who is the assassin from Li Yu, why did he sacrifice himself for the assassination?"

Zhou Xiandao: "Liu Liuyao is the sixth daughter of General Liu Renzhan of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Liu Renzhan was captured in Shouzhou and later killed by General Guo. She avenged the murder of her father."

"Liu Renzhan is alive and well, what revenge does she have?" Guo Shao asked in amazement.

Zhou Xian was also stunned: "General Guo didn't kill him? Then why the king..."

A smile appeared on Guo Shao's face: "I sent a quick horse back to Tokyo and asked Mr. Liu to write a personal letter. When Shouzhou City was destroyed, Mr. Liu wanted to commit suicide, but I dissuaded him. Later, I had a good personal relationship with him. If Mr. Liu hadn't thought about the kindness of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he might have come out to be an official."

Zhou Xiandao: "So that's how it is... Then as long as Liu Liuyao sees her father's family letter, she should let go of her hatred. She is not a bad person."

Guo Shao nodded, not only didn't blame others for killing him, but also showed joy on his face. He hurriedly dug out the brochure and connected several names online...

Not only did Liu Renzhan no longer have prejudices against Guo Shao, but he also had some sympathy for each other; he was reluctant to become an official because the Great Zhou was going to be an enemy of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and as an old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he couldn't get over that hurdle. But now that the Southern Tang Kingdom has been destroyed, and Liu Liuyao committed another big taboo, and Guo Shao is kind again, there is a great possibility that Liu Renzhan will return to serve.

Liu Renzhan had a good personal relationship with Chen Qiao in the past, and it can be seen from one incident: when the Southern Tang Dynasty court recommended Lin Renzhao as a general, it was the remarks of Liu Renzhan and Chen Qiao. With Liu Renzhan as an example and a matchmaker, there will be a chance to win over Chen Qiao... Liu Renzhan was once Lin Renzhao's benevolent boss, and even Lin Renzhao can win over;

Guo Shao roughly marked the relationship between several people, raised his head and said, "Ehuang, don't worry, I will definitely forgive Liu Liuyao."

Zhou Xian was thoughtful, but also very politely said: "I thank General Guo on behalf of Liu Liuyao."

"I also want you to do me a favor." Guo Shaodao, "I have heard that Ehuang is good at temperament and has a literary talent. I want you to write a song for me. It should be grand, atmospheric, and simple, so that it can sing a morale-inspiring tune in the army."

Zhou Xiandao: "I dare not obey orders, but I will do my best." She went on to say: "General Guo has business to do, so we won't bother you any more, so we will leave." "

Guo Shao cupped his fists and said goodbye.

Zhou Xian led Jiamin out of the room, and the young lady looked back after going out. Guo Shao also thought the little girl was very beautiful and cute, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, she was only a little girl less than ten years old... According to history, she was the famous "Little Zhou Empress".

Guo Shao's mood gradually improved a lot at this time. The aftermath of the Southern Tang Kingdom is sorted out very smoothly now, at least it can relieve his worries.

…Zhou Xian took Jia Min back from the corridor under the eaves, and Jia Min murmured at this moment: "General Guo talked to Eldest Sister, but no one paid any attention to me."

Zhou Xian was caught in other emotions, and didn't pay much attention to his sister, he said casually: "My lord is talking about business, you are still young, what can you say?"

After a while, Jiamin asked again: "What is a knight?"

Zhou Xian replied: "A martial artist who rides on a horse and wears armor."

"Oh..." Jia Min nodded thoughtfully, "Isn't it amazing?"

Zhou Xian was a little impatient in his heart, but felt a little guilty for ignoring the danger of Tuesday's sister in the barracks last time, so he nodded in agreement.

Jiamin seemed to have endless questions, and asked again: "Am I a little princess?"

Zhou Xian said helplessly: "Although Empress Dowager Zhong loved you very much before, you are not a member of the royal family after all, and you cannot be called a princess. The emperor's daughter is called a princess. You should know this. Why do you ask me everything?"

"I thought princesses and little princesses were different." Jiamin pursed her lips and said innocently.

Zhou Xian didn't pay attention to her any more, thinking about what he said just now. Guo Shao said that "in the future, Emperor E will have a distinguished status in the Central Plains court" and "be canonized". In addition, she had heard rumors that Guo Shao was about to usurp the throne in the palace before, and now she was even more sure that he had ambitions.

She doesn't care about what Guo Shao wants to do or plan now, and she doesn't even think about Guo Shao the most now. The main attention has been shifted to those Guo Shao's wives and concubines in Tokyo... Zhou Xian has been in the court for a long time, and she is very clear about the life among the royal family and nobles.

If she doesn't plan to die, she doesn't even have to consider whether she has affection for Guo Shao, she has to commit herself to this person, there is no other way. Because Guo Shao is the winner of this war.
