Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The main force of Xu Jun West Road left Pingzhou and passed through the Liaoxi Corridor with little resistance.

Guo Shao came to Longshan near Liaoxi Fort. The scouts reported that there was still a Buddhist temple on Longshan. Because the Liao army had been active here for a long time, all the monks in the temple had run away, and only an old monk was left to guard the temple house. Guo Shao decided to live in the temple.

Lu Chengyong went to deal with the matter, and promised with the old monk to invest in building a new temple in the mountains and forests in the northeast. The old monk gladly gave the property to Xu Jun... After all, when the general rebels come, they just rob | kill.

When Guo Shaosui climbed up the mountain along the mountain road, he really felt that the spring breeze had penetrated the entire north. The vegetation is lush and green, and wild flowers of various colors grow on the trees and in the grass by the roadside. He didn't know most of the flowers and plants, but he believed that if Lu Lan was here, he would be able to recognize most of the plants. At this time, the doctor was dealing with all kinds of herbs.

On a whim, Guo Shao bent down and picked a yellow wild flower that grew well and held it in his hand. He couldn't stop at the beginning, and soon he picked a handful of flowers from the grass and branches by the roadside and held it in his left hand. The soldiers and attendants around him remained silent, Guo Shao was so happy that he was in a good mood, and everyone was relieved.

"Yang Shiliang, your physical strength is not very good." Guo Shao turned around and said casually.

The eunuch Yang Shiliang was out of breath, and was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief as he walked, while Lu Chengyong and other warriors behind him climbed the mountain wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and they were still not as tired as him.

Yang Shiliang panted: "Your Majesty is right, this slave... is a bit out of support."

As soon as Guo Shao turned around, he saw tents and galloping horses under the mountain, a spectacular scene completely different from the mountains and forests came into view. Liaoxi Fort is prostrate on the ground, and several roads from north to south, from east to west can be seen at a glance. This is also the reason why Guo Shao chose this hillside. He stood and took a breath, looked at the Liaoxi Fort under his feet, and suddenly guessed: "The Liao army once besieged Liaoxi Fort. If Xiao Siwen visited this place, he should have stood on the land under my feet."

Yang Shiliang echoed: "Xiao Siwen is just a defeated general under His Majesty's command. Now that the army is overwhelming, that fellow is probably shaking with fright."

Guo Shao was noncommittal.

The group continued to climb for a short time before arriving at the top of this hill, which was not a very high hill in the first place. A dilapidated temple came into view, and Xu Jun's imperial guards were everywhere at this time. Guo Shao walked into the mountain gate, and a group of soldiers raised their cherry spears neatly with a "wow".

Holding a handful of flowers in his hand, Guo Shao picked up an earthen jar in the hall and handed them to Yang Shiliang together.

When Guo Shao came to the main hall, the bouquet of wild flowers was placed in an earthen pot and placed on a table. Yang Shiliang was leading a few eunuchs and soldiers to tidy up the house, hanging up Guo Shao's frequently used maps, and a lot of papers in a sack, and pasting them on the eye-catching wall.

"Xiao Siwen's picture, put it on the top." Guo Shao said.

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said: "Observe the order."

Guo Shao said again: "There is no grievance between countries, only advantages and disadvantages, but conflicts and resentment between people are too easy to arise."

After a while, someone came in and reported: "Liaoxi Fort guard Zhang Jiankui and supervisor Zheng Xianchun are here to see you."

Yang Shiliang saw Guo Shao nodding his head sideways, and waved to the guard who reported. After a while, Zhang Jiankui and the other two walked in, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said loudly: "The last general will wait to see His Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."

Guo Shao put down the things in his hands, took two steps forward, and helped the two of them up with his own hands: "You will stick to Liaoxi Fort for several months, and you will live up to my expectations."

Zhang Jiankui said: "Your Majesty has entrusted you so much, and I will never forget it."

Guo Shao was not very familiar with Zheng Xianchun, a civil servant of the Privy Council, his face was already darkened by the sea breeze. Zheng Xianchun said: "Your Majesty, the people sent by the Bing Cao Division to Koryo Kingdom took a boat to Liaoxi Fort a while ago and sent a message."

"Oh?" Guo Shao turned around and sat down on a stool.

Zheng Xianchun bowed and submitted the letter, saying: "After the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, many Sumohe people and Jurchens fled to Korea and were resettled in Pingjing (Pyongyang). The Koreans used the survivors of the Balha Kingdom to lobby many "birth Jurchen" tribes in the Yalu River and other places, and jointly raised troops to rebel against the Liao Kingdom."

Guo Shao was startled when he heard this, and turned to ask Yang Shiliang, "Did the Korean envoy mention this in Tokyo?"

Yang Shiliang said: "I have never heard of it."

Guo Shao asked Zheng Xianchun again: "How could the Jurchen tribe be persuaded?"

Zheng Xianchun said: "I heard that the Jurchen tribe will offer all the collected pearls, 70% of the crops and dried fish. The Koreans negotiated an alliance with them. When Koryo occupies the old land of Bohai in Liaodong, they will only collect 20% of the income from the Jurchens."

At this time, the guard clasped his fists outside the door again and said, "Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Wei, Li Xianggong, Shi Guogong, Gao Guogong, etc. have arrived at the mountain gate."

Guo Shao said: "Tell them to come in."

Zhang Jiankui immediately bowed: "The last general will take his leave."

Guo Shao turned his head and said, "You two stay here."

Both Zhang Jiankui and Zheng Xianchun looked a little surprised, and promised: "Your servant will obey the order."

Guo Shao said calmly: "It's only been a few years since Daxu established the country. Who will rule the country, formulate rules for it, and maintain order? It will take time to verify. Some people are not loyal enough, and some people have limited ability. But once these people have secured power, they will definitely not be willing to give it up easily. At that time, it will be difficult to have ambitions. Don't belittle yourself now."

After Zhang Jiankui and Zheng Xianchun heard this, their faces turned red and their attitudes became more respectful.

After a while, Wei Renpu and other former camp military officials and generals entered the room, and everyone looked sideways at Zhang Jiankui and the other two... This is the central discussion of the Chinese army. A Marquis of the military capital and a small official of the Privy Council stood here, obviously not enough status, but Guo Shao didn't say anything, and no one mentioned that.

"Your Majesty, live forever!" Everyone ignored the statue of the clay bodhisattva and shouted in unison in the temple.

Guo Shao said directly: "This place has a wide view and a high terrain. A granary can be built in Longshan, and fortifications can be built for defense, forming an angle with Liaoxi Fort; it can also prevent moisture and increase military food reserves."

Wei Renpu paid homage: "Your minister can arrange matters."

Guo Shao sent the news reported by Zheng Xianchun to Wei Renpu and others for inspection. Lu Duoxun, who was with the army, said after reading it: "The Koryo country has such a movement, and the Daxu court has not been informed! Your Majesty, do you want to send an envoy to the Koryo country to question the Wang family?"

"No need." Guo Shao said, "Since the Goryeo Kingdom doesn't want to explain to the court, why should I force him? In the future, I will naturally not have to explain to the Goryeo King."

He got up and walked to a map, took two steps, and said, "In this way, some adjustments should be made to the original strategy." Guo Shao stretched out his finger and pointed to the circle of "Jinzhou" and said: "We can save steps, attack Jinzhou immediately, and increase the pressure on Liao Kingdom."

...The next day, Guo Shao stood on the hillside outside the temple, looking at the vast camp below the mountain, the movement of people and horses was already obvious. Guo Shao's intention is to effectively control the activities that mobilize tens of thousands of people through the specific deployment of the Qianying Military Mansion.

Wei Renpu, as the former head of the battalion army, understood Guo Shao's meaning and issued specific transfer orders to the various ministries. The military generals above the command directly obey the military orders of the military government, and the military generals and the military supervisors at all levels in the army jointly exercise the military power of the chief general of the battle. Gao Huaide served as the commander in chief of this battle.

Countless people and horses gathered in the vast military camps, gradually forming a square formation amidst the chaos. Some sporadic horsemen scattered from the road to the distance first. The whole earth seems to have a pair of invisible big hands manipulating everything.

Guo Shao, who was watching from a high place on the hillside, no longer had to take the lead and charge into battle as before. But he has to keep thinking about the rules of each level and verify the feasibility through actual situations.

The roar of horseshoes and human voices mixed with the distant waves.

Guo Shao turned around and walked into the temple, and walked around the Qianying Army Mansion once. Wei Renpu and the others stood up to worship, but Guo Shao ignored them, picked up the seal symbols with various characters, and bowed his head in thought. The characters of these soldier talismans are regularly changed and drawn by lots; in addition, the commanders and military supervisors are identified to ensure the reliability of the military order system. Maybe it can be simplified further.

In Guo Shao's mind, from the strategy against Xiao Siwen, battlefield tactics, military system, to the morale of the soldiers, countless lines are extending.

It's really tiring, but he won't give in to the plot of poisoning and assassination that time, he will use his own methods to really make Liao Guo and Xiao Siwen willing to gamble and lose!
