Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

At the head of Jingzhao Mansion, Guo Shao stood there admiring the scenery of Guanzhong. All the officials in the city stood there bowed, and there were especially many guard posts of the imperial guards inside and outside. At this time, Guo Shao can go wherever he wants, and these lands are all his own.

The yellow flag at the top of the city waved weakly, adding a touch of color to the gray scenery.

Jingzhao Mansion is the former Chang'an. It used to be the heart of Qin, Han, and Tang, and the climate was very comfortable. Guo Shao and the soldiers of the imperial army came to Guanzhong without any discomfort... But the scenery is not so beautiful. At this time, Chang'an is not as good as Tokyo Daliang. Chang'an has been ruined, and even the whole of Guanzhong is not the 800-mile fertile and humid Qinchuan in Qin and Han Dynasties.

In "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", the Daming Palace in Chang'an, where Concubine Yang lived, where flowers are fragrant and birds are singing, no longer exists. At this time, there are old houses everywhere, and the city is a gray scene.

Years have changed the appearance of the former prosperity.

Lu Duoxun and Wei Renpu on the side were whispering something, and when Guo Shao turned his head to look at them, they came forward and bowed. Wei Renpu said: "Mr. Lu is worried about changes in Binzhou, and I am talking to him about it."

Lu Duoxun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty conquers the world, the Jingnan Army should not dare to act rashly, I am afraid that they will be disrespectful for a while..."

Guo Shao said directly: "I am patrolling the west with the imperial army, but I don't want to fight."

Wei Renpu stood aside and said no more.

Most of what Guo Shao did was discussed with the courtiers, and many things were also arranged by the ministers... But he didn't discuss everything with others, and even Wei Renpu didn't know about some subtle actions.

For example, Guo Shao Xi Xun suddenly appointed Yang Ye as the striker, and it was his own intention; then he ordered Yang Ye to lead troops into Binzhou, and the ministers realized that the emperor valued Zhe Dejian. The rise of Zhejia in Fuzhou was originally a powerful warlord. Moreover, there is a gap between Zhe Dejian and Guo Shao. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for Zhe Dejian this time on the west tour!

Seeing that Wei Renpu didn't say a word, Guo Shao guessed that Wei Renpu didn't think there was a war happening, otherwise Wei Renpu, as a senior official of the Privy Council on this trip, would definitely make suggestions for military operations.

Zhe Dejian should not dare to move. Although most of the towns in the northwest have a semi-independent structure, mainly due to the relatively strong internal power in Jie Town, they still serve as the main court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once Zhe Dejian acts recklessly, without morality and sufficient strength, he will not only face the imperial army, but also besieged by the towns in the northwest under the emperor's order.

However, just like what Guo Shao said just now, he didn't want to fight against Germany and mobilize troops, which would not only waste the people and waste money, but also destroy Jiezhen by force, which would also bring a bad atmosphere in the northwest.

At this moment, Lu Chengyong walked up to the top of the wall, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the forward is here to report."

Guo Shao waved his hand. Wei Renpu and others all looked sideways at the opening of the upper city.

After a while, I heard Lu Chengyong's voice saying: "There is an order, someone is coming to the city." At this time, a messenger with a pennant on his back came up from the sentry posts, knelt down on one knee, held up a document and said: "General Yang reported that the forward has successfully entered Binzhou, and has received hospitality from the Commander of the Jingnan Army."

The people around Guo Shao obviously breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Duoxun said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Guo Shao stood at the top of the city, but looked to the north without saying a word. Only then did Wei Renpu go up to pick up the document.

After a long time, Guo Shao said: "Here's an order, the army will move out and go to Binzhou."

...

Zhe Dejian was sitting on a mahogany chair at Jingnan Army Mansion in Binzhou, holding a teacup and stroking the water surface with the lid, doing some trivial movements.

Sitting below are several civil and military personnel and the children of the Zhe family.

Zhe Dejian is already forty-four years old. This is an age that he is inexplicably taboo, and the homophony of numbers is not very good. As expected, something happened at last!

The Patriarch of the previous generation followed Ruan Changshou, and Zhe Dejian took over the positions of Patriarch and Jingnan Army only after he was in his forties. He had just taken power not long ago. On the northwest side, as long as there are no accidents, the position of Jieshuai is almost hereditary, and it is passed on to his son.

Zhe Dejian finally said: "Since this is the case, everyone, prepare well to receive the officials and the imperial army. The emperor's visit to Binzhou is also the luck of the people of Binzhou."

There was a little sigh below.

So far, what else can we do? Thousands of elite imperial troops have already entered the city. If they are not obedient and the imperial army should cooperate with the outside, can Binzhou be held for a day? Besides, Zhe Dejian can let Yang Yebu enter the city, and he has already weighed the pros and cons.

At this moment, everyone looked sideways at a young man Zhe Deliang. Zhe Deliang blushed, and muttered: "Who knew that the throne would be the next one... At that time, he was just a military general who couldn't stand or fall."

Zhe Dejian put down his teacup, and finally said: "Wulang, when the official family arrives in Binzhou, I'll go to Miansheng, you and I can go."

Deliang suddenly looked apprehensive, and looked at Zhe Dejian with pleading eyes: "Cousin..."

Zhe Dejian said: "You can't hide from hiding."

Deliang's face was pale, even the owner of Zhejia couldn't keep him, he looked very helpless.

Zhe Dejian glanced at him: "You don't have to be too afraid."

Deliang's voice was distorted, and he tremblingly said, "Can the officials really spare me?"

Zhe Dejian said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a madman. He met many heroes and even dared to scold Cao Cao, but Cao Cao let him go. As a result, he died in the hands of Liu Biao. Today, he is already the emperor. What do you care about? Don't say that you have some personal grievances with him. Even if you scold him in public, it may not necessarily kill you."

After hearing this, Deliang nodded slightly, with a calm expression.

Zhe Dejian said again: "No matter what your Majesty does to me, he will not do anything to you."

At this time, a civil servant murmured, "My lord should not be worried. The officials thought that the lord would move to Tokyo, and he would still be appointed as an official. Like the lord of Shu who once proclaimed himself emperor, he was still named Duke of Qin. Today, he treats people kindly."

Everyone discussed and agreed with this judgment.

Zhe Dejian also thought so, so he quickly opened the city gate. But for a person like him, even if he is an official in Tokyo, without real power, his life may not be easy.

...Uneasy, Zhe Dejian led Binzhou Wenwu and others to the emperor Luanjia. A group of officials went out of the city ten li to meet them.

The majestic cavalry guards with yellow umbrellas, canopies, flags like clouds, and distinctive armor, Guo Shao's ceremonial guard on this trip is still very grand. Zhe Dejian and others went to the front of Luanjia, kowtowed at the side of the road, loudly reported their official lives, and then said "Longevity is boundless"!

I didn't even see the emperor's people, only four magnificent carriages. Then a chubby eunuch came out and said: "The official said, Zhejie Shuai Baoguo Jingbian, I feel comforted physically and mentally."

Zhe Dejian was very happy when he heard this, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although it seemed to be a bureaucratic phrase, the emperor meant it as a compliment and did not express dissatisfaction, which is already a good sign.

Zhe Dejian and others climbed up, followed Luanjia on foot, and walked ten miles back to Binzhou.

From the city gate to the palace, Yang Ye's men had already deployed guard posts, and Guo Shao's car drove straight into the mansion that was the palace. Zhe Dejian did not see the emperor that day. According to the eunuch, the emperor was tired from the journey and took a rest first.

Zhe Dejian hurriedly arranged a dozen virgins to serve the emperor, but they were sent out again.

He waited anxiously.

The next day, someone finally came to the military mansion to pass the decree, asking Zhe Dejian to face the saint. At this time, more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Imperial Army were already in the city of Binzhou. Zhe Deliang didn't need to think about disasters and fortunes, so he quickly dressed neatly and took Zhe Deliang to the palace.

Zhe Dejian was wearing a general's military uniform, took off his sword outside the gate, searched his body and went in. There are many guards around, but after being brought into the cave for a month by the eunuch, there is no one there. It was surprisingly quiet, and I hardly met anyone along the way.

Soon after arriving at the study, he saw Guo Shao in an old purple robe sitting on a chair, and beside him was a tall and plump woman who was making tea.

The fat and fat eunuch bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, handsome Zhejie has arrived."

Guo Shao asked Zhe Dejian to enter the room, and Zhe Dejian hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."

"Shall Zhe Guild play chess?" Guo Shao's first sentence was actually like this.

Zhe De hurriedly said: "I know a thing or two about Xiangxi, western chess, and go, but I'm not very good at it."

"Then come and sit down." Guo Shao said with a smile.

Zhe Deliang walked over anxiously, and was given a seat in front of the emperor. His buttocks lightly reached the edge of the chair, looking respectful, while Zhe Deliang stood behind him, unable to speak a word at this time.

Guo Shaodao: "I like playing chess with warriors the most. Do you know why?"

Zhe Dejian pondered for a moment, then replied: "I am stupid, I don't know."

Guo Shaodao: "Because civil servants generally know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are too good at chess and can't do it."

Zhe Dejian almost couldn't laugh out loud, and his face suddenly turned red.

Guo Shao grabbed Hei Zi and said, "Let's play a game first. Don't say, no matter what kind of game you play, I like it the most when I first learned it."

"Your Majesty is right." Zhe Dejian said.

Zhe De stretched out his sleeves and wiped his sweat lightly. He was someone who had seen battles before, so he wasn't scared, it was really hard work! The most difficult thing about playing chess is not playing against top players. You can lose at the worst... The difficult thing is playing against the emperor. It seems that you can't win, but you can't lose so badly that the emperor loses interest.

Some people may not be afraid to win the emperor on the chessboard, after all, it is just a pastime; but Zhede can't, it makes the emperor feel better at this time, and maybe he can be a better official in Tokyo in the future.

After a few moves back and forth, Guo Shao said: "Watching chess without talking is a real gentleman."

The brothers Zhe Deliang were stunned for a moment, and Deliang finally stammered: "Yes, yes..."

Zhe De hurriedly said: "Your Majesty praises you."

De Liang then said: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

It's no wonder that people in this world are chasing fame and power. Isn't Deliang's appearance at this time because Guo Shao has great power?

At this moment, the fat eunuch came to the door and said: "Your Majesty, General Yang has arrived."

Guo Shao said: "Ha, it's just right, let him come in. Let's make a rule, whoever loses will watch the chess and play in turn."
