Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The King of the Southern Han Dynasty came to see him, but he saw that his face was pale and his steps were fluttering. It was his appearance that his body had been hollowed out by wine. This fellow has a tough temper, and before using force, he is the master who does not concede a subject. But Guo Shao still discussed with the ministers in advance, and did not kill him, but also made him the Duke of Chu... The Lord of Wuyue has not surrendered yet, let's see how the court of the Great Zhou treats people.

He met the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it was said that his "National Teacher" Fan Huzi had an audience.

Under the eyes of everyone, I saw a woman with her hair in a bun and wearing Taoist gown entered the hall. There was a very exaggerated big gossip pattern embroidered on her back, and there was a beard on her mouth. If so, she could be seen as a woman.

This kind of strange person appeared very unique when she stepped into the royal banquet. People looked sideways at her and looked at her curiously.

It is said that when the Southern Han Kingdom surrendered, this feisty woman played a big role. Cao Bin also kept his word, and really brought her to face the saint... So Guo Shao saw this woman.

But soon Guo Shao understood Fan Huzi's intention to face the saint. The point is not that she faces the saint. The key is that there is another person beside her, a very beautiful woman.

If you want to compare the beauty of the second younger sister and Zhou Xian with them, you can't tell whether they are good or bad, but Zhou Xian and others definitely don't have the charming and unrestrained spirit of this woman.

The woman was wearing a white dress with gold borders, half of her upper body was covered with translucent veil, her figure was graceful and her belt was fluttering, and she walked lightly, elegantly and charmingly... Her skin was delicate and fair like snow, and ordinary women couldn't bear that color in such plain white clothes, but this woman became even whiter.

With black hair, bright eyes and white teeth, the big watery eyes do not smile, but look forward to shine. She is very courageous and does not stick to etiquette. She looks at Guo Shao as soon as she comes up. The seductive eyes are hard to describe, one glance hints some kind of strong emotion, there is a little resentment in the eyes, but also very energetic, coupled with the subtle movement of her biting her lips, it seems that she fell in love all of a sudden, but her body is slim, there is no place for people to grasp.

This girl doesn't have a charming smile, but she seems to be a woman who can let go. Guo Shao sat there holding his breath.

The two bowed their knees and performed the salute gracefully. The woman in white said softly: "The guilty minister is Lu Qiongxian, the minister (prime minister) of the Southern Han Dynasty, and now he has become a minister of the subjugated country. No matter how His Majesty treats you, the minister has no choice but to obey..."

The voice was pitiful and coquettish, and what he said really made people think about it... It was easy for Guo Shao to connect with the meaning of "let you pick".

Even the Second Sister Fu couldn't stand it any longer, she turned her head and frowned to Guo Shao and said, "I don't like this woman, she has evil spirits!"

Guo Shaodao: "Let's not worry too much about the people Cao Bin brought back."

At this time, Wang Zhong, who was standing by the side, observed Guo Shao's expression. Guo Shao saw Wang Zhong's understanding of the holy will, and felt a little excitement and anticipation in his heart for a while.

Guo Shao said calmly, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The second daughter returned the money.

Guo Shao's gaze observed Lu Qiongxian's figure intentionally or unintentionally. The days of success and joy make people feel comfortable and relaxed. The advantage of the charming Lu Qiongxian is that she is more relaxed... Otherwise, in front of the former owner Liu Jixing, how could she give Guo Shao such no pressure?

At this moment, Wang Zhong lightly clapped his hands, and the musician immediately played the tune. A group of dancers filed up to the hall, and Zhou Xian in dance clothes came out last. She was only wearing white socks, her steps were light, and she was equally glamorous. Zhou Xian walked up to the wooden platform, with a shy expression on his face, and said softly: "On this festive occasion, I, as Your Majesty's empress, present a song "Dancing in Feather Clothes and Clothes". I'm laughing at you."

Guo Shao smiled "haha", stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, then turned to Fu Ermei and said, "Zhou Ehuang's dance is very good."

Fu Ermei also smiled and watched with great interest. She seemed to have no prejudice against Zhou Xian, but Zhou Xian was decent and dignified, but not so frivolous.

The sound of the piano fluctuated, and the dancers on the wooden platform kept walking, dragging their long skirts and making small steps in a circle, and Zhou Xian also gently blended into the crowd. The circle was getting smaller and smaller, and with a melodious flute sound, the women suddenly leaned back, their waists were very flexible, Zhou Xian stood up from the middle, stretched his long sleeves to both sides, and the satin flew into the air like a cloud, which immediately shocked people's vision.

Guo Shao found that today's neon dress dance has a new change from the one he watched last time.

The dancers on the stage danced alternately, and Zhou Xian's dance was different from the crowd's. Listening carefully, there was a clear sound of metal percussion under the musician's drumbeat, and the two rhythms were integrated into one.

Zhou Xian's body jumped into the air lightly, and everyone was in an uproar. Even Guo Shao was puzzled, could it be that she can do light work?

If you look closely, it's not that she can fly, but an optical illusion caused by dancing, because the dancers around are dancing very fast, and she jumps into the air relatively slowly, and her figure is very stable, with her long sleeves fluttering, as if she is flying lightly!

His Highness, ministers and wives clapped their hands and applauded.

Guo Shao is also getting better, laughing "haha". The red lanterns on the hall were gorgeous and dazzling, and the dance of the beauties was so dazzling that Guo Shao was dazzled. It is also very pleasant to be in such a joyful and indulgent mood occasionally.

After the song, Zhou Xian stepped back and changed his clothes, and went to the guest table to participate in the banquet generously.

The ladies in the court served wine and food one after another, the singing and dancing on the stage continued, and the cups and plates in the hall were intertwined.

After the rise, general Yang Biao and Zuo You went on stage to perform a scene of joining the army. The two are relatively famous people in the court, and everyone knows each other. Seeing the acquaintances gag on the top, they are even more involved, and the hall laughs one after another.

Guo Shao saw Yang Biao's stupid face, he didn't care about his appearance, he leaned forward and back with a smile, even the second sister Fu also covered her red lips with her sleeves, her shoulders trembled.

When everyone was enjoying themselves, only Jing Niang noticed a eunuch walking quickly towards this side, she also had a smile on her face, but looked at the eunuch walking quickly with her head buried from time to time.

The eunuch quietly walked to the steps and looked at Jingniang. Jing Niang made a slight gesture, and the eunuch walked up to Guo Shao, bowed his head and said quietly: "Hebei urgent report, the Khitan invaded last night, taking advantage of Yizhou's holiday, the guards were lax, opened the city gate, and captured Yizhou..."

Guo Shao's smile suddenly froze on his face, and suddenly became very ugly.

It was so sudden, as if a pot of cold water was suddenly poured down on the hot charcoal fire!

The joyful laughter immediately became piercing, and the crowd shaking in front of them seemed so stiff, as if their souls had been emptied all of a sudden. Guo Shao felt a little dazed.

Fu Ermei's voice said: "Husband, what's the matter, what happened?"

After the coolness passed, a wave of anger gradually rose. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion, and the Khitan people actually invaded the border at this time. If I remember correctly, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a festival that the Khitan people celebrate!

Guo Shao took a long breath, not wanting to get angry in front of everyone, so he stood up and said to Second Sister Fu, "I'll come as soon as I go."

Yang Biao and Zuo You, who were performing the drama of joining the army, also found that Guo Shao had left the table, and the performance was suspended. Everyone also stopped smiling and looked over for no reason.

Guo Shao left the main hall and retreated to a study room in the back hall. Not long after, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and several generals followed.

Guo Shao took the urgent report from the eunuch, unfolded it and read it. It describes the scene of the Khitan people rushing into the city on the eve of the festival, burning, killing and looting, and it is written in great detail. The more Guo Shao looked at it, the more annoyed he became, his anger didn't go away, and suddenly he slapped the table with a "bang", but the wood was not very strong, and the table collapsed immediately!

The inkstone on it fell to the ground and made a "ding, ding, bang, bang".

The people in the study were horrified, they hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down." "The body of the dragon..."

Wang Pu raised his head and looked at the eunuch Wang Zhong calmly. Wang Zhong bent down and picked up the memorial on the ground, and handed it to Wang Pu, and several people exchanged views with each other.

Guo Shao said: "Get up, I'm not going to take my anger out on you. The Khitan people are really going too far. This family is like a beast and has no humanity at all!"

Seeing Guo Shao's face flushed with anger, everyone dared not speak. Only Wang Pu advised: "It has been thousands of years since ancient times that the north has plundered the frontier pass, and this matter is inevitable. Now it is autumn, and the horses in the north are fat and fat. The Yizhou Festival made Sun Xingyou neglect the autumn defense, causing the city to be destroyed. He must be punished."

Guo Shao frowned and said, "In the past, the Khitan invaders only plundered the countryside, and rarely occupied the city. Now they go straight to Yizhou City. What is their intention?"

Wei Renpu murmured: "The veteran thought that the Liao army was also harassed by plunder this time, and it was unlikely that they would march into the Juma River. In the past, the Khitans were unwilling to defend the city, and the entire northern part of Hebei was only guarding Youzhou. Once our army goes north, the Liao army should retreat."

Wang Pu, Li Chuyun and other generals said one after another: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Li Chuyun sighed: "Just after the autumn harvest, Yizhou's granary is full, and this is cheaper for the Liao army. The people in all places in Hebei were robbed of grain just after the autumn harvest. I am afraid there will be famine next year..."

Guo Shao became angry from embarrassment, walked back and forth in the same place, pondered for a long time, and said with a livid face: "I want to drive my own troops to conquer, and soon I will lead the imperial army to drive north to expel the Khitan people!"

Wang Pu persuaded: "Your Majesty, I ask you to think twice. The situation of the Liao Kingdom at this time does not have the strength to go south and go deep. It must be a raid. By the time the forbidden army goes north, the Liao army has already fled far away. The reduced losses in various parts of Hebei are not enough to mobilize the forbidden army once."

Guo Shao originally wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, but he didn't expect the Liao people to do it first. He immediately said: "According to the previous strategy discussed by the imperial court, there is no trick to fight against the Liao Kingdom, but long-term confrontation. Since the Liao people have provoked the war today, we don't have to back down. Let's start now! Let's discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition in the near future and share our worries with me."

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, without saying a word.

Early the next morning, Fan Zhi took the lead in writing a letter opposing the Northern Expedition. The reason is that the treasury is unable to make ends meet, the people are exhausted, and the war with the Liao Kingdom was just launched at the beginning of this year, and two major wars cannot be fought in a year.

This time was different from the last time. There were quite a few people who questioned the success of the Northern Expedition, but some people were unwilling to perform. \u003c
