Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The wind rises and falls from time to time, and the snowflakes in the air are rolled up like catkins all over the sky.

Inside the gate of the military camp, Guo Shao was in the carriage watching four-wheeled carts slowly coming in, pulled by donkeys, and countless people in the camp were also watching. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly became stronger, and the cloth covering the donkey cart that had just entered was blown away.

For a moment, the brand new copper coins piled on the cart were exposed. Heaps of golden copper coins! very conspicuous. There was an uproar in the crowd, many people's eyes widened, and there was a commotion.

Seeing this, Li Chuyun, who was in the same car, sighed: "It's all money from the palace treasury, and it hasn't been used yet. Please thank Your Majesty Long En."

Guo Shaodao: "The soldiers put their lives into battle, this is what they deserve."

He watched for a while and saw that all the vehicles had entered the barracks, so he patted the wooden boards of the carriages and said, "Go back to the palace."

A large amount of money is rewarded every time an expedition is made. This is the rule left by the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Guo Shao is unwilling to change the rules in a hurry, so as not to affect morale.

The rewards have been allocated, and the expedition will be within three days. The curtain of war that had been covered for half a year, like the cloth covering the copper coins, was suddenly exposed to the public, and everything had already begun.

Guo Shao closed his eyes on the carriage and cleared his mind. All the preparations have entered the implementation process... from secrecy to deployment are very meticulous. Now just follow the prepared path and go on.

... In the study room on the east side of Jinxiang Hall, there are more than 20 important court officials standing on both sides of the hall. But the main generals of the Forbidden Army were not there. The generals present included Yuan Yan, the commander of the left wing of the Controlling Crane Army, Luo Mengzi, the commander of the right wing of the Controlling Crane Army, Luo Yanhuan, the commander of the guard infantry, and Xiang Gong, the envoy of Xuanhui South Court left behind in Tokyo.

In this expedition, Guo Shao will take away almost all the elites who can fight in the field, including the left and right sides of the Huben Army, the left and right sides of the Long Jie Army, the left side of the Tiger Jie Army, and all the cavalry of the Crane Army, totaling more than 100,000 elites. This is the largest conquest of the forbidden army since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

More than 100,000 people are all the elites of a big country with a territory of thousands of miles, after decades of melee! After half a year of preparation, Guo Shao is going to use his full strength this time.

The remaining squadrons, the Crane Army, and Hujie's right wing can only defend the city, and their offensive capabilities are insufficient. Because at this moment, Da Zhou has almost no worries about the future, which is the reason why the imperial army can almost move with all their strength.

"Empress Duanci is here!" The official sang a libretto. More than 20 people bent down and bowed their heads one after another. Everyone's eyes were on the ground, and no one dared to look up to the door, not only because of Empress Duanci's dignity, but also because she was a woman, and the ancients paid attention to seeing no evil.

Not long after, Fu Jinzhan, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a yellow robe, folded his hands in front of his belly, and walked slowly into the palace gate surrounded by a group of palace people with a dignified demeanor.

"I will pay my respects to Empress Duanci." Everyone shouted in unison.

Fu Jinzhan said: "Ministers, no courtesy."

The emperor was in the study inside, and Fu Jinzhan came here in front of the most powerful officials in Tokyo, which also indicated that she took over the government was authorized by the emperor.

Fu Jinzhan was the empress of the first emperor, and she was very famous before, and she served as regent for a period of time as the empress dowager; Now she is temporarily in power, and there is no strong opposition from courtiers.

Apart from the eunuchs and maids, there are also some white-clothed maids around her, and they all stayed in the outer hall at this time, standing around the door of the study. Fu Jinzhan went in alone.

Inside, there are etiquette and pleasantries first, because the door is open and the door can still be heard clearly. Later, Fu Jinzhan sat opposite the imperial case, and talked about government affairs with Guo Shao, his voice gradually lowered, the depth of the study was larger, and there was wind, so he couldn't hear it from outside.

The windows in the palace room were open, and there was a chill inside, and the whistling wind was extra clear. However, the snow is white and bright, and the light is still very bright.

Guo Shao, who was sitting behind the imperial case, was dressed very simply, with a headband on his head and an old round-neck robe on his body. He looked up from the door, then looked back at Fu Jinzhan and said: "Everything is ready, we will leave the day after tomorrow. I have already made an order that Jinzhan can decide everything in Tokyo."

Fu Jinzhan asked softly, "How long will this expedition take?"

Guo Shao pondered and said: "It's hard to say. If you occupy Youzhou City, you will enter the second stage. You must stick to Youzhou and compete with the Liao army until they give up Youzhou."

Fu Jinzhan asked again: "Are you sure you can win?"

Guo Shao showed a reluctant smile: "On the battlefield, it seems that no one dares to say that they will definitely win. If the result is too obvious, the battle will not be fought (one side will voluntarily give up). But Jinzhan can rest assured that this battle is well deployed and has a great chance of winning."

Fu Jinzhan said: "I am waiting for His Majesty's return from victory in Tokyo."

Guo Shao nodded.

The two were silent for a while, and the sound of "whoosh" came into their ears, and the window was shaken by the blowing, making a "creak" sound from time to time.

Fu Jinzhan turned his head to look outside, sighed softly, and said, "I remember... when you were the guard of the Fu family, I never seemed to care about you."

Guo Shao smiled openly: "That's for sure, it's human nature."

Fu Jinzhan said: "At that time, my concubine was very strict, but my father and elder brother doted on me very much. I was the apple of my father's and elder brother's eyes. And you know, the Fu family has been a high school for many years. I think I will have a bright future in the future, and I can get a lot. Think about it... Wealth and wealth, the status and reputation respected by the world, the beauty and wisdom that everyone loves, and the husband who is good at everything and spoils me like a father and brother..."

"Yeah." Guo Shao said that he was listening, and listened patiently. It's not that he is very busy because he will go to war the day after tomorrow. On the contrary, when he is doing big things, he is the most patient and in the best mood, probably because his spirit and emotions have been adjusted to the positive side.

His gaze swept over Fu Jinzhan's face, and he felt that what she said was very true. A well-born and beautiful woman, of course, will have high vision and high spirits.

Fu Jinzhan took a breath, and said softly: "But after going through too many things, I found that it's not what I thought at first."

Guo Shao followed her intention and asked, "What does Jinzhan think now?"

Fu Jinzhan turned to look at him: "Everyone has their own use and destiny. My use is for the marriage of the Fu family. When I don't have this use, everything will be over for me. In those days when I returned from Hezhong Mansion and almost became a monk, I suddenly understood."

She showed a forced smile: "Later, I have been trying to find ways to play games among powers, and I have also made many people fear me, especially those in the palace. Some people may think that I want power...but how much does it mean to me?"

Guo Shaodao: "What does Jinzhan want now?"

Fu Jinzhan murmured: "There is never a shortage of people around me, but I always feel that I am alone. I just want to have someone who is very close to me, very close, and will always be with me, so I can go on like this."

After hearing this, Guo Shao was slightly moved, feeling as if his charm had been exhausted. He couldn't help but carefully looked at Fu Jinzhan, she looked like a young woman, her fair skin was very smooth, Guo Shao could even see clearly the sparse and thin fluff on the pores of her hairline under the bright light.

She looked into Guo Shao's eyes, and the eyelashes on her bright eyes trembled slightly: "Brother Shao... that's that person. Whenever I feel down, I think about when you will come to see me, be able to greet me, treat me so kindly and sincerely, won't leave me, can...can hold me. I feel so good to be alive, so happy..."

Her voice got lower and lower until it was almost inaudible.

Guo Shao's heart was warm and a little sour. Unprepared and inexplicable, something in the deepest part of his heart was suddenly touched.

"sister……"

She is like a sister, closer than a sister. In this world, besides his sister, there are still people who can sincerely pay for him, protect him, take care of him, train him when he is weak and have nowhere to go, and sincerely help him to succeed.

Fu Jinzhan was slightly surprised, there was sadness of parting between his brows, but he looked at him with a forced smile.

Guo Shao looked at her, under the bright light of day, her white face full of life and aura seemed to be radiant, so beautiful, even the large and heavy dress could not hide her gentle figure, the round and soft chest was the tenderness of motherhood, and the graceful figure was the beauty of a woman.

The beauty moved Guo Shao very much, his heart was full of sunshine and light.

Guo Shao said in a trembling voice: "Win back the Youyun Sixteen States, I am the Emperor Mingjun with enough prestige! I am rich in the world, and I can give you and compensate you whatever Jinzhan wants..."

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and his eyes became very bright: "We will definitely win."

Fu Jinzhan said: "Of course Brother Shao can win. Everyone in the world thinks you are the God of War, Yi. Isn't the God of War sure to win?"

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "Everything will go according to the plan. The preparations are very good. It is hard to imagine how it is possible to lose. Until now, the Liao people have no idea. We are well-equipped and heavily armed, and we will definitely capture Youzhou City. Once Youzhou City is over, the supplies of the Liao people are too difficult to consume us! Jinzhan is waiting for my good news in Tokyo."

Fu Jinzhan nodded seriously.

Guo Shao said: "I want to hold Jinzhan..."

Fu Jinzhan looked at him with a smile, neither surprised nor spoke. There were many people outside, although they didn't dare to peek inside, they could probably see what was going on in the study. Of course Guo Shao would not mess around.

He thought for a while, then whispered: "We are right in front of you, and we can smell each other's breath. How about closing your eyes now and hugging in your imagination for a while?"

When Fu Jinzhan heard this, he covered his red lips lightly and almost laughed out loud. After a while, she restrained her smile slightly: "Okay."

With her back to the door, she raised her head and closed her eyes gently after speaking, her smiling and beautiful face was like a fairy.

Guo Shao didn't speak anymore, and closed his eyes lightly, still smelling her faint breath in his nose, as if feeling that warm and soft body gently approaching him.
