It was just dawn, and the temperature was still very low in the cold spring, but Guo Shao in the tent was sweating profusely.

He woke up suddenly and sat up abruptly. He just felt his chest thumping, and he vaguely remembered that in his dream he became a rich man, allowing his sister to live a good life; but it seemed that he had committed a murder because of his interests, and he had been covering up the crime with trepidation, and then he seemed to have done something bad again in order to prevent things from being exposed!

This is probably the case, most of the things in the dream have been blurred.

"Your Majesty..." A man's voice sounded.

Guo Shao followed the sound and saw an ancient man with a bun on his head and an ancient costume with a round collar, and he gradually came to his senses. Soon where I was and what I was doing came back to my heart, I was in the tent of the front barracks in Youzhou!

In the dim light, there was a brazier beside the bed, and the charcoal that was almost burnt inside revealed a dark red light, like cracked magma.

When he came back to his senses, he didn't do any major bad things in his previous life; but now he is the emperor! What's the matter with killing people? After launching a war, countless people will die... Of course, killing people is not serious at this time. The serious thing is defeat and loss of authority!

Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "The humidity in the barracks is heavy, so I didn't sleep well in the second half of the night."

The attendant hurriedly said: "The humble staff will find some blankets to put on the floor tomorrow morning."

"That's all." Guo Shao said. He immediately put on his clothes and got up, opened the thick curtain hanging at the door, and a bonfire was burning at the door, and a group of soldiers in strong clothes immediately stood up straight and faced Guo Shao with their fists clasped.

The sky had just turned white, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in a gray mist.

At this time, unlike during the day, at least there is not so much noise around. "Cuckoo..." Suddenly there was a cry, Guo Shao looked up and saw two birds flying north.

Guo Shao looked at the black shadow in the sky for a long time without saying a word. It wasn't a wild bird, it was a pigeon, and Guo Shao could still tell the difference by the sound of the pigeon. And most of them are carrier pigeons that convey military information.

He subconsciously speculated about what Xiao Siwen, who was trapped in the cage-like Youzhou City, used the carrier pigeon to convey.

Only the Liao army can use pigeons here, and the Zhou army cannot use carrier pigeons on the front line. Because the principle of pigeons delivering messages is that pigeons fly back to their "home". For example, the two carrier pigeons in the sky were raised somewhere in the north at first, and they were sent to Youzhou City in a cage beforehand; after they were released, they automatically flew back to their original place in the north.

Guo Shao still doesn't know what happened to Wen Yuhe. He looked to the northeast, vaguely as if he heard the sound of thunder coming from the sky, but when he listened carefully, he felt it was an illusion.

Guo Shao observed the light in the east, took a deep breath, and quickly returned to the tent. The attendants were busy helping him put on his clothes and armor, and tidy up his appearance.

At this time, Lu Chengyong also rushed over, Guo Shao said calmly: "Go and tell the civil servants of the Qianying Military Mansion, if you have any news about the war, report it immediately."

Lu Chengyong clasped his fists and said, "Here."

On the same day, there were various military reports that the army on the right and the reinforcements of the Liao army had entered the state of battle. Guo Shao was always concerned about the front, but he did not issue an imperial edict. He just waits.

The next day, the third day of the dispatch of Luo Yan's ring department. The people from the military mansion hurried into the big tent of the Chinese army, and there was another military intelligence; at this time, Wang Pu was also in the tent.

Guo Shao read the military newspaper first, his expression changed slightly, and he handed the paper to Lu Chengyong next to him, asking Lu Chengyong to inform the civil and military officers present. He took out another picture himself and spread it on the wooden case.

"The Liao army crossed the Wenyu River from the south?" Wang Pu was also surprised.

The generals were in an uproar, talking a lot, "What are Li Du inspectors and Luo Fudu doing with so many cavalry soldiers? How did the Liao army come here?" "The Liao army bypassed our cavalry, what are they trying to do..."

Guo Shao pointed to the location on the map and said, "Immediately find a way to find out how many people the Liao army has crossing the river here! How many Liao troops are facing Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan?"

Wang Pu immediately turned around and said a few words to a civil servant in a deep voice, then cupped his hands and faced Guo Shao and said, "Your Majesty, all the ministries outside the city of Youzhou should immediately stop attacking the city and set up defense immediately."

Guo Shao said at this time: "Deploy infantry phalanxes in various artillery battalions and supply battalions, and prepare to line up to guard against raids."

"Here."

Guo Shao deliberately breathed a sigh of relief: "The situation on the battlefield cannot be carried out exactly as we planned. This cannot be entirely blamed on Li Chuyun's department. The Wenyu River stretches for hundreds of miles in this section, and Li Chuyun and other tens of thousands of people cannot be dispersed. They are not purely for river defense. As long as the Liao army is determined to break through the Wenyu River, it is not difficult... But the Liao army that came over is a lone army, and the risk is great. Don't panic."

After a while, the sound of the nearby artillery has become smaller, and the artillery battalion has responded according to the intention of the Chinese army... This gave Guo Shao a feeling that everything was still under control.

He gradually calmed down, and Guo Shao was a little surprised by the movement of the Liao army... But the Liao army's solitary penetration is not a good idea, it's just a high-risk gamble, and he can't see how the Liao army can play a decisive role under the high risk.

Wang Pu sternly said: "The veteran believes that the risk of the siege is not great; because the Liao army does not have enough time to destroy the layout of the siege. If the main force of the Liao army on the north road deceptively goes deep alone, Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan can free their hands to pursue from the rear; if the Liao army is only a part of the division, its strength is not enough to pose a threat to the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops in Youzhou, and it may fall into a heavy siege."

Without hesitation, Guo Shao immediately agreed with Wang Pu. At least this can stabilize the hearts of the Chinese army.

Wang Pudao: "On the contrary, His Majesty's camp needs to be closely guarded. Around Youzhou City, the Great Zhou Army has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. However, in order to siege the city, most of the troops left in Youzhou City are infantry. It is not conducive to seize the opportunity to attack quickly, so they must be deployed in advance."

Guo Shaodao: "In the Chinese army, there are nearly 20,000 cavalry and infantry of the Huben Army led by Yang Biao."

Wang Pudao: "Now I don't know how many people the Liao army crossed the river, let alone their purpose. The old minister guessed that the target of the Liao army's sudden attack was not the large siege fortifications in Youzhou City, but the Xingyuan, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty... Only here is the Liao army taking risks."

Guo Shao nodded and took two steps: "Yang Biao's corps is motivated and can be used as a reserve team. The infantry of the Tiger Jie Army and Long Jie Army will be dispatched to take over the defense around the camp of the Chinese Army, and Yang Biao's corps will be transferred to the side to wait for deployment."

No one raised any doubts, and Guo Shao's intentions were immediately communicated to the large offices of the Qianying Military Mansion on both sides to arrange for the transfer of troops.

At this time, Guo Shao was a little angry: "Let's stabilize our position first, and when we know the specific strength of the Liao army, we will counterattack encirclement|suppression!"
