Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The Zhou army's horse army was deployed on the rear wing and flanks of the army. The main infantry battalions, supplies, and surrendered troops taken along the way, as well as some civilians, had arrived in Zhuozhou in a mighty manner.

Guo Shao opened the bamboo curtain of the carriage and looked at Zhuozhou City in the light mist and rain. This ancient city located on the north side of the Juma River is indeed far inferior to Youzhou City. It doesn't even have an urn city; and it was burnt | burnt |

To defend such a city, heavy troops are needed to defend it, and there is no barrier of Juma River. The staff all believed that Zhou Jun should abandon Zhuozhou and still retreat to the Juma River defense line.

Lu Xiaoniang's voice from behind said: "Your Majesty, the wind and cold cannot be cured by medicine, the state of mind and recuperation are very important."

Guo Shao turned around and said, "Don't worry, I won't be defeated so easily."

At this moment, Yiqi rushed to the side of the car, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Gong (Yang Biao) has woken up!"

Guo Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "I'll go and see him."

The guard then called the groom to stop the car. A group of carriages and horses stopped one after another, waiting for Yang Biao's carriage to come.

Guo Shao got off the car by himself, a guard stepped forward to help him, but he pushed him away. Only then did he feel that the drizzle that was still falling before had stopped at some point.

The black clouds in the sky are still there, but they have dispersed one by one. The sun is like a golden sword, splitting an exit in the middle, and the light between the sky and the earth is also bright.

Guo Shao stepped out of the carriage, and for a moment had the illusion of walking from the oppressive and dark tunnel to the open world. He saw a tree full of small pink flowers on the side of the road, and realized that it was spring! The flower branches swayed gently in the moist breeze with the vitality of green leaves, which did not block the sight of Zhuozhou City in the distance, but on the contrary seemed to embellish the scene of that ancient city. In the breath of spring flowers in Zhuozhou, the dilapidated towers no longer have a sense of decay, but are full of the heritage of the years.

He let out a long breath, and quickly stepped onto the carriage that Yang Biao was riding in.

Yang Biao lay in the carriage padded with thick soft fabrics, opened his eyes and looked at Guo Shao who had just entered, and said, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't move!" Guo Shao stepped forward and gently pressed his arm.

The old doctor next to him said: "Fortunately, the heavy armor on Mr. Yang's body blocked the arrows. The wounds were not deep, and the internal organs were not injured. It's just that there were too many wounds, too much bleeding, and even fainted due to qi deficiency. As long as you wake up, you will not be in danger of life. You need to rest and nourish to recover."

Guo Shaodao: "Mr. Bai rescued my second brother, I am very relieved."

The old man hurriedly said, "It's a doctor's job."

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Yang Biao's bloodless face, and stretched out his hand to hold his palm. Yang Biao's palm was so rough that it hurt his hand.

Yang Biao's breath was weak: "The minister has failed His Majesty's trust, and the battle has been defeated..."

"Don't blame the second brother, you'll be fine when you wake up, and rest at ease." Guo Shao said kindly, "This battle is a bit regrettable, but it's not that the Great Zhou army is not good at fighting. If Youzhou is in our hands, the Liao army will still have no hope of winning. Let's take a break and fight again at another day!"

At this time, the curtain of the car opened a gap with the bumps, and the sun shone in, and a ray of warm light just shone on Guo Shao's face. His eyes were bright, and the sadness and gloom in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

He seemed to see hope, and his sense of strength slowly returned, a wonderful feeling.

Guo Shao understands that he is a man with a hostile, cruel and dark side. However, the sadness, unwillingness, and anger of losing his brother before and being forced to admit defeat did not make him feel strong. He wanted revenge and vented his anger, but instead made him lose his confidence, and was so weak that the wind and cold could invade.

But now, a little sunshine and hope gradually dissipated the hostility in his chest.

Yang Biao's waking up made him feel less lonely... Yang Biao is not a famous general who uses soldiers like a god, but he is someone who can be trusted by Guo Shao. Guo Shao believes that he is willing to defend himself even if he dies! When Yang Biao came back to life, he could give Guo Shao a psychological hint: there are still brothers by his side. Some trustworthy people, as long as they are still there, will increase people's sense of security.

As long as the green hills are there, there is no fear of no firewood! As long as you keep a positive attitude and work hard, you never know who will have the last laugh.

"We are monarchs and ministers, but we are still brothers." Guo Shao exerted a little force on his hand.

Yang Biao nodded slightly, and said again: "Third Brother..."

Guo Shao sighed, and said softly: "The third brother should be enshrined by the courtiers as appropriate, and passed on to his son. He has sacrificed his life to protect him, so he should also be enshrined in the Gongde Pavilion and be respected by future generations."

Yang Biao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and nodded again.

Guo Shao saw the exhaustion on his face, and said: "Second brother rest at ease and recuperate, don't worry about it. I will come to see you in a few days."

He immediately left the carriage and returned to his own car.

At this time, Jing Niang, who was wearing a round-neck robe, held her fists together to salute at the side of the carriage, but said nothing. Guo Shao glanced at her: "Get in the car and talk."

When Jing Niang bent down and stepped into the carriage, Guo Shao slapped the wooden boards of the carriage, and the groom drove the four horses and immediately pulled the carriage with ease. "Chick, chick..." The sound of wood rubbing | rubbing followed.

Jing Niang asked softly, "Is Your Majesty feeling better?"

Guo Shao nodded slowly.

Only then did Jing Niang calmly say: "I found out that a small matter recorded by the Youzhou Branch (Bing Cao Division) has not been noticed before. That Lu Lan... Her mother's surname is Bai, and she is actually the concubine of Xiao Siwen, the king of the South Court of Liao Kingdom."

"Oh?" Guo Shao was very surprised when he heard that.

Jing Niang said in a deep voice: "At this time, many people in Youzhou also know about it. They were scouted by our people two months ago, but for some reason, I didn't notice it."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, "Lu Lan's mother...should be a Han Chinese? Most likely she was snatched away by Khitan people."

Jing Niang said: "The main reason is that this girl often goes in and out of His Majesty's side, so she has to be vigilant."

Guo Shao didn't speak for a while, recalling the process of getting to know Lu Lan and how he knew her, he quickly ruled out the possibility that she was a spy. Because the acquaintance was just a coincidence and could not have been arranged by others; the people in power in this era have no experience or precedent of arranging undercover agents in this way.

He immediately said: "It's a coincidence that Lu Xiaoniang's mother is in Xiao Siwen's house. Our people were taken away by barbarians to be concubines, and she is also a victim."

Jing Niang stopped arguing.

After a while, Lu Lan came to the car carrying a lane. The first thing she noticed was not Guo Shao, but Jing Niang who was sitting opposite. She bent her legs kindly and greeted him politely.

She said with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "I went back to my uncle and brought some medicinal materials."

Seeing her shy face, Guo Shao couldn't help but think of her stubbornness full of vigilance and hostility when she lived at her house in Zhuozhou. Now, at least she completely trusts Guo Shao.

Guo Shao didn't ask anything, so he judged that this girl was not a spy. Because of his intuition as an archer hunter, this woman has a sunny breath, and there are not many dark things in her heart.

But Jing Niang asked: "Ms. Lu used to be from Zhuozhou, but she went to Wushan later?"

Lu Lan raised her head and said suspiciously: "We used to be from the countryside of Youzhou, but something changed and we moved to Zhuozhou City. A few years ago, Zhuozhou City was not in war, so I fled south with my father and went to my uncle's house first. But my uncle has passed away, and the rest of my uncle's Bai family is in Wushan, my hometown, and now I have gone to Wushan several times."

Jing Niang said: "Apart from your father, there is no one else in the Lu family?"

Lu Lan shook her head.

Jingniang asked again: "What happened when you were at the Lu family in Youzhou?"

Lu Lan's face was immediately covered with sadness, and he whispered: "The Khitan people plundered..."

Jing Niang paused, and said, "Where is Lingtang?"

Lu Lan's voice had changed: "He was robbed and taken away by the Khitan people, and his life and death are unknown."

Guo Shao stopped immediately and said: "Ms. Jing, don't ask, we shouldn't bring up Mrs. Lu's sad things."\u003c
