Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The streets and alleys of Tokyo are filled with snow, and the walls are covered with a layer of white. Yao Erniu pushed open the courtyard door, and the cousin in the courtyard looked back, her face was overjoyed, she hurriedly flicked the water from her hands, wiped the apron quickly, then got up and walked over quickly: "Husband came back so early today!"

Yao Erniu let out a "huh" and handed over a bag of money that "crashed".

The cousin asked in amazement: "It hasn't been long since the military salary was paid, why is it paid again?"

"Before going out, you will be rewarded, and you will be rewarded even more when you come back." Yao Erniu said as he walked into the main room.

"Going to war?" His cousin was anxious, "When?"

Yao Erniu said, "The day after tomorrow will be early in the morning."

The cousin was even more anxious: "Why haven't you heard from your husband?"

Yao Erniu said: "I only found out today. The brothers in the army said that this time it should be the Northern Expedition to Youzhou, and the military plane should not be leaked. We will only tell us when it is temporary."

Occasionally the woman spoke as if she was not thinking about it, and the cousin said in a hurry: "Youzhou is not occupied by the Khitan people, can my husband not go?"

Yao Erniu said directly: "I've taken all the reward money, why don't you go?"

After entering the main room, the whole family heard the voice, and Yao Erniu's mother reacted even more. The cousin wanted to give her the money for safekeeping. She cried and said, "This is the money to buy Erlang's life..."

Yao Erniu had no choice but to persuade: "Mother, I'm here to kill the enemy, not die."

The old woman choked up and said, "They are all raised by mother and father, Khitan people are so fierce, swords and guns have no eyes!"

Yao Erniu said: "Going into battle is really scary, but it's really not as dangerous as you think. If you go up, don't say a hundred thousand, at least tens of thousands, and the side that wins won't be able to kill many people. After a battle, except for the wounded, the real dead are usually only one or two thousand. Dozens of people will die one time. I'm so lucky that it's my turn?"

The old lady said: "What if you lose the battle?"

Yao Erniu said without hesitation: "I won't lose. This time, the official family has fought so many battles. Have you ever lost?"

The cousin also turned to persuade the old lady: "The official family is the reincarnation of Dayi, living gods are in the world, and many people burn incense."

...

Martial law was imposed at all gates of Tokyo City, and traffic inside and outside the city was prohibited.

The capital city of Great Zhou has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are usually a lot of people who have to go in and out. At that time, many people gathered in each city and asked about it. It is said that a notice was posted at the gate of the city, and the martial law was only for three days.

A group of people gathered in front of the notice. A middle-aged man wearing a fur head looked at it for a long time, and then muttered: "Why is it suddenly under martial law for three days? My goods have not yet entered the city..."

A man next to him said: "I heard that the emperor is going to send troops to Youzhou. He is afraid that some spies in the city will go to inform you early, so he will close the city for three days. I reckon that after the city gate is opened, the investigation will be tight. If there is a guide, it is best to use the guide."

"This is going to hit Youzhou!" Several people gathered around.

Everyone talked a lot, and soon became emotional. Recovering Youyun Sixteen States is really exciting, even the common people are very concerned... Youzhou is not elsewhere, it is in Hebei! Moreover, there are powerful prairie cavalry in the north, which is not only the majesty of the country, but also has a great relationship with all the people in Tokyo; what can stop Hebei from coming? The Yellow River will still freeze, just like now, the cavalry can rush across the Yellow River directly from the north, and it is almost as flat as a river.

There was a lot of commotion inside the city gate, and someone shouted loudly: "Since the Jin Dynasty, Youyun has been lost, and today it will finally return to the Central Plains!"

It can make the country strong and truly protect the safety of the Central Plains and everyone's lives and property. Under the great prestige, few people in the Great Zhou at this time do not recognize Guo Shao's throne. As Guo Shao said, the same value is due to people's recognition, and the same is true for the legitimacy of the throne.

...

The military order of the Privy Council required the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army to gather for the expedition on the third day, but it was not clear where the expedition would be. However, most of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army have already guessed that it was the Northern Expedition to Youzhou... At this moment in the world, is there any place where the Forbidden Army needs to send out a large-scale conquest?

Temporary deployment of troops to go out, most of them are busy saying goodbye to their families and packing their luggage.

But there are also some people who have no family members in Tokyo, like Zhao Hu from Hebei.

Zhao Hu saved the bounty money in a bank, and he didn't care if he could get it back... If it was the same as before, he worked hard for money, wanted to buy horses, and wanted to accumulate wealth; but in a different situation, he suddenly found that money is not so important.

Zhao Hu sat in the rented room, didn't need to say goodbye to anyone, and waited to go out with the army the day after tomorrow. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

The main room was empty, a bit like a barren house. There is a wooden frame right above it, the plate armor is hung on it, and the helmet is also above it. It looks like a person in leather armor is squatting there. Next to the armor is a single sword with a sheath, which is a new weapon for Shenhuo, because after the firearm is replaced with a more complicated matchlock mechanism, it can no longer be used as a mace, and it will break if you hit it.

Zhao Hu sat alone for a long time, and finally stood up. He walked to the side of the knife holder, reached out and grabbed the scabbard, and pulled out the single knife with a "shua".

He held it until he took a deep breath, recalling the enemy-killing moves taught by the instructor. Then stand upright and gesture decently.

The light outside was getting darker and darker, Zhao Hu's figure was like a shadow play at the door of the main room, the knife shadow stabbed forward suddenly, the figure suddenly turned back steadily, and the knife slashed accordingly, the movement was powerful and skillful.

Repeating several actions repeatedly, Zhao Hu never seemed to get tired of it. The night was completely over, and he still had no intention of stopping. The figure was very lonely.

...

Guo Shao has abandoned the government for the past two days, and the main thing he did was say goodbye. Summoning the prime minister and ministers to instruct the government affairs in Tokyo, and saying goodbye to Fu Ermei, Li Yuaner, Zhou Xian and others, there must be some reluctance.

He wrote another letter with his own handwriting, secretly ordering Jingniang to go out of the palace and send it to Dong's mansion...to Madam Dong Gao.

Gao is the sister of Gao Huaide, the commander of the deputy capital of the guard Ma Busi, and the mother of Dong Zunhui, the commander of the Huben army. Although she is an official, it would be strange for an eunuch to deliver an edict, but Jing Niang can do it.

On the eve of the expedition, Guo Shao put aside all his personal affairs. He devoted himself to reviewing the strategic plan that he had planned before, knowing everything in his chest, and completely focused on military affairs.

The largest war since ascension to the throne. As long as you win, everything you want and care about will become easier, and the rewards will come naturally.

The person who taught him archery, Zhou Tong, is now a general under his command, and he can no longer teach Guo Shao anything. But Guo Shao remembered what Zhou Tong said many years ago: thinking too much is not a good thing.

He seemed to see the target in the haze, and a sharp arrow flew towards the target without hesitation and at the right time.
