Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

At the beginning of April, Tokyo received two memorials in a row, from Lingzhou and Pingxia Province respectively, and a batch of war horses sent from Hexi were looted! The person who did this was the Department of Dangxiang Yecishi.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Wang Pu bowed and said: "After the Pingxia War, the party and other ministries did not dare to openly loot the court horses again. This time they are so blatant and rebellious!"

All the ministers seconded their proposals one after another.

"Ye Ci has done this more than once." Guo Shao said, everyone gradually stopped discussing, and the hall was a little quiet. Guo Shao spoke as in the past, faster and clearer, "At the beginning, I intercepted and killed my court envoys. In order to stabilize the situation in the northwest border, I had to compromise, and only symbolically executed one of them. Now it seems that peace can only be built with sufficient blood."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yanchao couldn't wait to stand up and clasped his fists and said: "The last general, please be the vanguard of the Western Expedition. If you lose His Majesty, come and see me!"

After Guo Shao listened, he didn't look at Shi Yanchao, his eyes swept over Li Chuyun. Because he knew very well that if he wanted to use Shi Yanchao, he could only use Li Chuyun...just as if he wanted to use Lin Renzhao from the former Southern Tang Kingdom, he could only use Liu Renzhan, otherwise he would be arguing.

But he was not in a hurry, he raised his sleeve and waved Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao stomped his feet and showed his dissatisfaction in public, but he still sat down obediently.

At this time, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, stood up, and two eunuchs lifted the map hanging on the wooden frame to the top. After receiving the ceremony, Wei Renpu turned to face more than 20 civil and military personnel, and said: "The situation is in front of you, and the national policy of expanding frontiers cannot be stopped. Now it seems that it is easier to be aggressive than to retreat."

Everyone looked sideways, and Guo Shao also bowed, shifted his direction, and looked at Wei Renpu below.

Wei Renpu pointed at the map, "The handling of the chaos in the northwest is related to the overall situation of the imperial court; according to the national policy approved by the emperor, there are three aggressive directions in recent years, and the northwest bears the brunt.

At the same time, fortresses were built in the Liaoxi Corridor; in the south, the Dashi Merchant Ship was going to return, and the warship and the Dashi Merchant Ship sailed together under the escort of the Jiaolong Army to gradually find out the sea route to Malacca. "

Looking back at the left and right, Wei Renpu said, "The northwest is sparsely populated, the weather is bad, and the forces of various ethnic groups are intricate, which is very difficult. The imperial court plans to form two legions to solve this matter. The main force of the Hexi Army is composed of the Imperial Army and the Guard Army, forming an army of 50,000 cavalry. In addition, the Pingxia Province will build the Pingxia Army based on Lingzhou to assist the central main force in combat.

The strategy is to break up the hostile alliances of the northwest and control the Hexi Corridor. First, control the banks of the Yellow River from Lanzhou to Lingzhou, and drive the hostile tribes out of the east of the Yellow River. Second, occupy Liangzhou (Wuwei City) and open the gate of Hexi. Third, join forces with Gua and Sha Guiyi to control the entire Hexi Corridor. "

Ludoxun, who had been to the Northwest in person, said, "I'm afraid this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. The royal division of the imperial court can only accomplish it by using military forces and at the same time gaining control. Although all the ministries are united in resisting the westward expansion of Daxu's influence, they cannot trust each other."

After discussing for a long time in the Yizheng Hall, Guo Shao turned his head to see that the sun was rising, and said: "The specific strategy will be discussed later. You can all play the strategy for reference."

After finishing speaking, Guo Shao stood up straight from the upper position. Seeing this, all the ministers got up and bowed one after another, saying, "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

Guo Shao waved his robe sleeves in a big way.

He read the memorial in the study and left the front hall at noon. When it came to the winding and complicated apse of Langwu, the eunuch Cao Tai stepped forward and bowed and said, "I met Feng Guogong (Gao Huaide) outside the Jinxiang Hall."

"Oh?" Guo Shao turned around.

Cao Tai took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Following the words of the Duke of the State, the Founding Duke (Li Chuyun) has a guest beside him, who is the old house of the traitor Li Yun."

"I know this, what is it called?" Guo Shao said.

"Zhongli." Cao Tai said, "It is said that he was Li Yun's confidant, and Li Yun was imprisoned after his death. It was found out that this person had discouraged Li Yun from rebelling, and he was old, so he was released."

Guo Shaodao: "Li Yun is dead, there is nothing unusual about this matter. If that Zhongli still had a different heart, he should have died in prison in the first place."

"Yes Yes."

Guo Shao ignored it and walked north along Langwu, pondering along the way, Gao Huaide seemed to be unable to sit still...Gao Huaide and Li Chuyun had no grievances and no enmity, and looking for reasons to attack Li Chuyun was nothing more than wanting to be the coach of the Hexi Army.

By the way, Gao Huaide also has a nephew Dong Zunhui, whom Guo Shao appreciates very much. Dong Zunhui's prestige and status in the army is not enough, but his uncle Gao Huaide has been a general for many years.

Guo Shao quickly put this matter behind him because he had other things to do.

After getting out of the north gate of Jinxiang hall, the luan car was ready, so Guo Shao took the imperial chariot to Xuanyou gate. He entered the harem and went straight to Zhou Xian's palace.

A group of people have already greeted you at the gate of the palace, "I am waiting to welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."

Besides Zhou Xian and her attendants, there was a woman who was not from the palace, Chen Jiali. Guo Shao looked down at her. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, curtsied her knees, but her neck and shoulders were very straight, and her temperament was humble and noble...Chen Jiali was not a court lady, not even the imperial lady, but her temperament was not inferior to a real lady.

For some reason, seeing her slightly hypocritical dignity, Guo Shao inadvertently had an impulse to tear off her dignified and tightly covered stand-up collar clothes to see the scenery under the clothes... This lady has that ability, obviously her clothes are tightly covered, not revealing at all, but through the tailoring, it looks bumpy and intriguing.

Chen Jiali is not as beautiful as Zhou Xian, but the difference between her and Zhou Xian is that Guo Shao has never tasted her. Guo Shao has to admit the inferiority of men. Any woman who doesn't get it will feel curious, wanting to see the novelty of the skirt|under the skirt, and touch the fresh skin that has never been touched. No wonder people often criticize the new and dislike the old.

However, Guo Shao doesn't feel ashamed of himself at this time, he is very pleased with his impulsive desire... After all, Liugong Fendai is too easy to satisfy, and it is not easy to have something to look forward to strongly. If a person has no desire|thoughts, I am afraid that life will be really boring.

"Pingshen." Guo Shao said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Jiali stood up straight with Zhou Xian. This girl is good at singing and dancing, her waist is flexible, she can't seem to have given birth to a son at all... This is why Guo Shao didn't directly call her into the palace.

When the group sat down in Zhou Xian's palace, Chen Jiali took out a stack of brochures from the handmaiden and handed them over, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is very strict, I heard that not only the people in the banks are appointed by the government, but also there are undercover undercover agents."

"The bank is a very important institution, and I dare not delegate power easily." Guo Shao said with a smile.

Chen Jiali said: "Your Majesty still can't trust me?"

Guo Shao didn't answer right away, he flipped through it casually, raised his head and said with a smile, "Of course I believe Mrs. Shen. But there are some things, it's not whether you believe it or not, depending on your position and situation, everything will be different."

Chen Jiali smiled thoughtfully.

After a long time, Guo Shao conveniently threw the booklet aside.

Chen Jiali said: "It is rumored that Li Yiyin, the leader of the Xiazhou Party, has fled to Longyou, and His Majesty is going to send troops to the west again, but is it true?"

Guo Shaodao: "The rumors are true. Li Yiyin not only lobbied the various ministries to resist me, but also just received the news today that the party members blatantly looted the war horses and blocked the trade routes."

Chen Jiali said kindly: "Your Majesty's martial arts are world-class, and he will definitely defeat Li Yiyin again."

Guo Shao was noncommittal, and said casually: "When I came here just now, I was in the car and sat alone on it. When I was bored, some trivial memories would come to my mind. Does Mrs. Shen have such a time?"

Zhou Xian was making tea himself, and Guo Shao resumed his chatty tone. Chen Jiali also relaxed, turned her head slightly, looked at Guo Shaorou and said, "Often."

Guo Shao murmured: "Guess what I thought of? A little thing when I was young... At that time, I was bored. One thing I often did was to find a dead spider or cricket and let the ants find it. The wandering ants are like scouts. After finding food, they return to the ant nest to report. After a while, swarms of ants come out of the ant nest to carry food. At this time, I use fire to burn those ants, burn all the ants outside, and then pour water into the cave..."

Chen Jiali's face changed when she heard it, and she was speechless when she saw Guo Shao.

Guo Shao paused and said calmly: "I've done this countless times, and it's a common pastime. When I was young, my family was not rich, but the child didn't feel anything. He was cared by his parents and sister, and he didn't encounter any bad things. I found it very interesting when I was burning ants."

"His Majesty……"

Guo Shao looked at her face: "Madam Shen thinks that I was a bad person before, but now I am a cruel person?"

Chen Jiali shook her head hastily.

Guo Shaodao: "That's because when you grow up, you understand black and white, right and wrong, and understand that you have to bear the consequences for everything you do. But I think that people are not inherently good at the beginning."

At this time, Zhou Xian came over with a teapot, smiled and looked at the two people sitting beside the tea table, "What is Your Majesty saying to my cousin?"

Guo Shao said with a smile: "We are talking about ants, ants."

Chen Jiali also forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty handles state affairs, it's rare to have such leisure."

She was already a little scared, and she spoke a lot slower in front of Guo Shao, as if she was deliberating.

Guo Shao felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull, and he didn't know how to talk about that trifle...but he really recalled that trifle in the car just now. It may be the chaos in the northwest that made him feel a little more hostile.

Zhou Xian sat down, lifted the teapot with Yubai's fingers, and filled the two small cups on the plate. Her posture and movements naturally had a kind of gentleness, and the clear tea seemed to make the beauty a little more beautiful. Zhou Xian held the teacup in front of Guo Shao with both hands, and handed another cup to Chen Jiali.

Chen Jiali said kindly: "Thanks to my sister for your hospitality."

Zhou Xian smiled lightly and said, "Cousin is more polite."

Chen Jiali took a sip lightly, leaving a light red rouge lip mark on the white porcelain cup with golden pattern.
