After Li Desheng learned of Guo Shao's origin, he warmly invited their brothers to move into their homes.

However, when Guo Shao saw that Li's house was not spacious and had a wife and concubine, he kindly refused.

A month later, a few merchants arrived in Wufang Town.

This is the first time people have seen someone from outside in many days.

The road in the town was very lively for a while, and suddenly there was some commercial atmosphere in the ruined town.

It is said that trade between countries is very frequent at this time, even among rival countries, there are commercial exchanges; however, it should be mainly concentrated in the metropolis and the relatively peaceful areas of the south, and in this almost abandoned Wufang town, there is really no How much business to speak of.

The salesman is not very far away, from Luzhou, one old, two young, three people, and two donkey carts.

It sells all kinds of goods, most of which are things that the people cannot produce on their own.

Guo Shao looked at him for a while. Not only can he buy it with coins, but he can also barter. Wheat, cloth, leather, beef tendon, and even livestock are the things that merchants are most willing to accept.

Guo Shao saw a bow on the booth, so he greeted him and reached for it. As soon as he touched the bowstring with his fingers, he put it down and put it back.

The old man smiled when he saw it and said, "Hunting can be used. If a strong man wants to buy a handy one, he must order in advance.

"Guo Shao said: "Do you only come here every month? "The old man shook his head and said: "But I don't know when next time... The streets and alleys of Luzhou are all talking about the Qidan soldiers going to plunder Luzhou by the Zhuozhang River. Have you heard the wind? "Guo Shao shook his head and said in surprise: "I am encircling Taiyuan towards the army, where can the Khitan people go south from?" "I don't know, I just heard that I will come to Luzhou, if I really want to come, it may be soon."

"Guo Shao wanted to inquire more about it, but unfortunately the old man didn't know much, so he didn't know what to say.

He had to greet both Shang Yang and Luo to leave.

Yang Biao wondered: "I'm afraid the salesman is slanderous.

The official army attacked Jinyang, and the Northern Han Dynasty was in danger. If the Khitan did not save the Northern Han Dynasty, why did they run to Luzhou? "Guo Shao said: "If the Khitan people have a way to plunder Qin, Lu and other places, of course it will be useful.

The purpose of this expedition of the Forbidden Army was originally to repel the foreign invaders. After the Gaoping Battle, they continued to encircle Jinyang. It was inevitable that they were insufficiently prepared. After the route was stretched, it would make supplies difficult. If the Khitan harassed the food road behind us, it would be intensified. The problem of food shortage ahead.

What I can't figure out is just where the Khitan army came from. They have already opened up the Daixin Basin? We don't have a picture, so it's hard to guess what's going on.

"Yang Biao said after listening, "Go and ask the town general Li Desheng to see how much he knows.

""Exactly.

"Guo Shaodao.

The two of them discussed, Luo Mengzi couldn't talk behind, and didn't interrupt.

Compared with Yang Biao's knowledge, Luo Mengzi is much worse, and he can only listen when discussing business matters.

A group of three people walked to the door of Li's house while talking, only to see large boxes and small boxes carrying things out.

There were two mule carts at the door, and everything was almost full. The battle seemed to be moving.

After a while, Li Desheng walked out to look at things, found them, and hurriedly came forward to meet.

Guo Shao pointed at things and said: "General Li is going to move to a new home?" Li Desheng said with a grimace, "What are you moving! The Khitan people want to plunder Luzhou, I quickly let my wife and children take things to Luzhou first? The state hid for a while...Just as you were about to send someone to tell General Guo, you came personally.

"In terms of rank, the town will be bigger than Dutou's official. Moreover, Guo Shao's actual military system is actually only ten generals, but he has been promoted to Dutou.

But a polished general like Li Desheng would have no status without a soldier; he learned that Guo Shao had done a great job, and even the officials and the commanders of the palace had praised him, so his words were very polite.

"So that's the way...General Li is going to Luzhou too? Who will take care of Wufang Town?" Li Desheng stomped and gritted his teeth and said: "Hi! How dare I run! Don't you know, Xin The official family ascended the throne. In the Gaoping battle, the strange ministry had already cut down many people for fear of life and death. It is said that after the class teachers, they have to settle accounts.

On this cutting edge, if I dare to hear the wind and run away, don’t I look for death? You have also seen that this Wufang town is a place where the old and the weak are waiting to die. It has long been deserted, and there are no soldiers and no generals... Alas, I just hope that the Khitan soldiers know that we are poor here, don't come.

"Guo Shao said: "You are busy today, so I won't bother too much.

""Look, at least go in for a sip of tea..." Guo Shao sees that the town will be full of fat and fat. He doesn't feel like a bad person.

Now that the news of an enemy soldier has been confirmed, the town general has started to send his wife and children away. There should be no falsehood; if the news is completely unreliable, why should the town general be so eager? Leaving the Li family, Yang Biao said: "It seems that our brothers should have made plans long ago.

This Wufang Town is the site of Li Yun in Luzhou, and it is not a matter of the Forbidden Army; not to mention the placement of all of us here to recuperate, and there is no military order to defend the town.

Now the injury is almost healed, it is better to leave here with the wounded, and first go to Luzhou to find Zhaoyi Army military residence for resettlement.

The high walls of Luzhou City will be much more stable in the city.

"Guo Shao didn't comment.

Several people returned to their dilapidated residence. For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull because something was worrying about them.

Guo Shao brooded for a long time and finally broke the silence: "I think the Khitan people have not yet opened up the Daixin Basin, otherwise they will come to Jinyang as soon as they pass Xinzhou; then the officials cannot continue to encircle Jinyang and may have retired. Up.

It's impossible to come from Hebei. If the Khitan people ran from the east of Taihang Mountain, what would they do in Luzhou? At the moment, this Khitan soldiers and horses do not know where they came from. Maybe it was from Liaozhou? But in any case, as long as there is no pass on behalf of Xin, its strength will never be too much.

It should be just taking advantage of the false harassment and waiting for the opportunity to rob food.

"Yang Biao said, "Big Brother meant to stay in Wufang Town? "Guo Shao frowned and hit the palm of his left hand twice with his right boxer, gritted his teeth and said: "I think so. I have waited so many times to go to battle with my head in front of me. Which time is not more dangerous than this time?" Although this place is close to Luzhou but not on the main road, the number of Khitan soldiers may not be many, and it is very likely that they are just skirmishers. Are we afraid of him? "Yang Biao immediately cut the line: "You are the eldest brother, as long as you say a word, you can say how to decide!" "Guo Shao looked at Luo Mengzi who couldn't speak again, and Luo Mengzi rounded his head: "We are brothers. Where do the eldest brothers go, can they still follow?" "Guo Shao was very pleased after hearing this, with a strange light in his eyes, "What are we doing for our lives?" In the (later) Han Dynasty and now serving the Zhou Dynasty, the people who fought the most for power were the people of the race! But today, why don’t we voluntarily fight it once in order to protect the Han people and to repay the people’s frugality, food, tea, and food...fighting like this, one day when we hear the people’s gratitude for the righteous deeds, we remember the blood , Will you regret today's decision? Luo Mengzi was very excited when he heard it, "Big Brother! "Yang Biao also looked solemnly, a pair of tiger eyes looked at Guo Shao and nodded slightly.

Guo Shao stretched out his palm again and said high-five: "My dear brother, it is a great honor for me to fight side by side with my brother!" Guo Shaoping settled down, walked a few steps back and forth, then suddenly turned around and said: "I have made up my mind. , Do some preparations.

First, let the town’s general Li Desheng assist to obtain the right to control the use of local human and material resources; second, repair weapons; third, organize soldiers; fourth, prepare fortifications and tactical plans.

"Yang Biao said in a salute to the army: "Even though the eldest brother ordered, the brothers wait for the saddle and wait to do things carefully! "Guo Shao nodded: "Then we don't have to wander around, let's do things separately."

I went to the town general first. The second and third younger brothers went to the town to spread news, shake out the news about the Khitan soldiers coming, and let everyone go to the town general’s door to listen to the news.

"The town general Li Desheng is naturally incomparable with the rich in Tokyo, but in this shabby town of Wufang must be the richest person.

The main door of Li's house can be seen, there are walls and entrance halls.

The three mule carts that were parked at the door have gone. Li Desheng invited Guo Shao to sit down in the hall and called for two more cups of tea.

Guo Shao sat down and said, "I don't know whether to ask a question or not.

" Li Desheng raised his hand and gestured, "Guo Lang has something to say, but it doesn't matter.

"Guo Shao asked calmly: "If General Li died for the country and sent to the wife, children and property association in Luzhou City..." He paused deliberately for a while, just to give Li Desheng time in his mind. Think about it, it’s normal for women to remarry in this era, but they are not as exquisite after the rise of Neo-Confucianism.

However, Guo Shao was inconvenient to say that he only hinted at such a prospect, and then he continued, "Why don't General Li want to think about it if you leave the green hills without worrying about it?" Sure enough, the fat wrinkles on Li Desheng's face They became a group, "I don’t want to conceal each other, the general has never brought soldiers, let alone what can be done in this broken place in Wufang Town.

" "As long as there is a place for a living person, you can find a way.

" Guo Shao said flatly, "If General Li can trust our brother, we would like to help.

" Li Desheng asked hurriedly: "What good strategy does Guo Lang have? "Guo Shao said calmly: "It is rumored that the (later) Han Yin Emperor loved money and hid a lot of his belongings in the deep palace, not even the soldiers' military pay.

When Zhou Jun invaded the beam, no one of Yin Emperor's subordinates obeyed the orders, and finally died and the country was destroyed. What is the use of billions of wealth? "The meaning of Guo Lang's words..." "Why don't General Li take out some money and buy ordnance in Luzhou. The armored soldiers can't buy it, so you can get some raw materials back. If you can buy a batch of grain, it would be better." Well... you have to be full in war, and you can't be a **** if you're not full.

Next, General Lee can mobilize the people to save themselves, and get some old and weak to build fortifications and form infantry.

In this way, you can fight against the enemy's harassment, and you don't have to be a fish.

"Li Desheng got up and paced, seeming to hesitate... Why hesitate to send him home to help him guard the town? Is it reluctant to disperse his wealth? Guo Shao hit the railroad while he was hot: "The commander and the following military positions can be handled directly by Shangfeng , General Li can appoint me to take the deputy position of Wufang Town, and then order me to guard Wufang Town, you go to Luzhou to buy quarters and send someone back.

""How can this general dare to give an appointment to the forbidden army general..." Li Desheng said hurriedly.

Guo Shao smiled and said: "If the Zhaoyi Army Jidu Envoy will be held accountable in the future, General Li has at least something to say that he has tried his best to arrange defense and organize military supplies, and he has not dereliction of duty.

"I'm afraid Li Desheng originally wanted to run, but recently it was time to clear the door and the atmosphere was terrifying. He was afraid of harming the pond fish.

Listening to what Guo Shao said, Li Desheng suddenly showed fascination.

At this moment, the slave came in and whispered: "A lot of people gathered outside. They heard that the Khitan soldiers are coming.

""Go out and take a look.

"Li Desheng said.
