When they left Fengxiang and returned to Tokyo, the twelfth lunar month was approaching, and winter arrived as scheduled.

Li Chuyun's family, Yang Luozuo and other relatives have dispersed. Everyone found the atmosphere of living as soon as they entered the city gate of Tokyo. Compared with other places, it has a better order and familiar environment. Only Jingniang came back with Guo Shao, because she had lived here for a long time, and there are still more than a dozen people in the house. This is not necessarily her home, but at least it is a relatively long-term residence.

"Lang Jun!" As soon as I entered the door, I heard Yulian's voice full of surprises of reunion.

The skin exposed on her goose-egg face and neck became more white and smooth, and her plump **** and flexible waist lines made her look better and better.

Yulian came forward to restrain the enthusiasm and joy, and first bowed her knees in a formal manner. When Guo Shao held her, he made a surprising move. He pulled Yulian straight into his arms, and then reached out and hugged her up.

"Ah..." Yulian let out a soft cry in an accident, and put her arms around the back of Guo Shao's neck, as if she was worried about falling.

Guo Shao completely ignored Jingniang and the others' surprised eyes, picked up Yulian and walked into the courtyard.

Maybe Yulian has thought about the situation after he left home for two or three months many times, maybe she would say some sweet words about affection, and talk about the experience of the journey... but she should not have guessed it.

Guo Shao is sometimes gentle and meticulous to women, and has a sharp heart for a shooter, just like the last time Yulian entered this mansion in grief, he could patiently take a dandelion to comfort her and enlighten her. She; but sometimes he completely showed his side as a military commander.

Simple, crude, and direct.

Being outside for too long, he didn't know the taste of tenderness. When he saw Yulian, the first thing he felt was not a narration of longing, but a desire to come! There is no disguise, even the demeanor is ignored.

"I miss you so much." Guo Shao whispered to Yulian in his arms, his voice was fiery and hungry|thirsty.

His powerful arms, the urgency of striding like the wind, the heat in his voice, the look in his eyes, and every detail in every place have that feeling, as if he is about to eat Yulian.

Yulian's face is hot, she has already guessed what he wants to do. Without any teasing and ambiguous movements, her body was already soft, and her voice was flustered and soft. She lay horizontally in Guo Shao’s arms, and she didn’t know where to place her hands, and gently pressed Guo Shao firmly. On his chest, he whispered: "In broad daylight, don't be so anxious..."

After a while she said again: "Slow down, you are a little scary, today I will suffer again."

……

Two or three months of going out, the fatigue of the journey and Yulian's gentleness did not let Guo Shao relax. On the contrary, his return to Tokyo this time became more nervous than before. It's not panic and nervousness, nor is it too busy all day long, but it shows inexplicably in the usual words and deeds.

It's as if the enemy is in a state of tension, something seems to be hidden in the calm.

Almost every day, he stays at home for a long time in the afternoon, but instead of taking a break, he starts practicing arrows again.

There is a bluestone trail in the back garden, one of which is relatively straight. Guo Shao put a target on the road, and then stood seven to eighty steps away, holding his bow and arrows at the target to practice.

At this time, not to mention that the matter itself is boring, even the people who are onlookers look boring.

Take an arrow, shoot a bow, stop at the target, and repeat for a long time. Occasionally it makes people feel a little more interesting. He will shoot the target continuously with arrows until the arrow in the quiver shoots; the speed is very fast, and a large part of the target can not be shot... But this kind of thing is not often , Most of the time, he just slowly pulled the bow to aim, and didn't release an arrow for a long time.

Yulian and Dong Sanmei live in Houyuan. Whenever they have time, they will watch him repeatedly and tirelessly on the small road behind him doing such things. They didn't dare to disturb Guo Shao, they just put sugar water, tea and other things in the pavilion, and they could drink it when Guo Shao was resting.

The New Year’s Pass is getting closer, and the atmosphere is full of festivals everywhere. Guo Shao still ignores anything about the New Year. After he gets on value or meets guests every day, he stands on the bluestone path and does that very boring thing. .

At this time, the middle-level generals, in addition to using soldiers, martial arts are also very useful; and training martial arts will keep people in a good state of preparation. It is difficult for a leader who is not brave to boost morale. Shi Yanchao often plays forward because of his personal bravery and setting an example. As a martial art used in battle formations, archery is undoubtedly a very advantageous means of killing in this era.

Compared with the forward melee assassination, the use of bows and arrows does not require the risk of being besieged, nor does it need to fight hard. Long-distance shooting is very advantageous, as long as it is powerful and precise. It’s just that the training is cumbersome and demanding. The top marksman usually needs to be trained from an early age to achieve beneficial musculoskeletal development; most people who are born and trained as generals since childhood will practice archery. Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan In his previous career, he had a record of becoming famous by archery.

Guo Shao often gets tired from training, so he will stand on the path and stand still with his eyes closed. In my memory, a sentence from a little-known teacher in the Fu family was very clear in Guo Shao's mind: Don't think too much.

This simple sentence gives Guo Shao new insights every time.

Perhaps the instructor is not to keep the children from using their heads, but to put their heads in the most direct place. Excluding distracting thoughts, thinking enters a keen but most direct mode: when to shoot, when to release the arrow, without why, it is just an intuition and a feeling.

Guo Shao relied on the experience of countless hits and misses to understand this timing.

There can be no entanglement in the heart, no hesitation. Perhaps the top marksman is not necessarily a gentleman, but he must not be a villain. Only with accommodating ideas and smooth thinking can this simple and crude art be brought to the extreme...just like the art of war.

To be magnanimous but does not require too much restraint, does not require any disguise to conceal oneself, everything restores the most primitive nature and true temperament.

……

In addition to practicing arrows, he often stayed at the Tiger Jiefang Barracks in Nancheng. The numbers of the First Army and Second Army were often uneven, but there were always some people stationed there.

Guo Shao still prefers the soldiers of this army privately. Their characteristics are also simple and straightforward. They are bold and wild. No wonder the rulers of later generations will be very afraid of such elite soldiers... even the emperor. There is no way to ask them to do whatever they want; for example, in a mutiny in the previous dynasty, the court sent professional soldiers to the field, but the whole group turned into a mutiny directly.

Guo Shao personally felt that these soldiers were a double-edged sword, capable of fighting, but not so docile.

The generals are ticking, Guo Shao changed the style of those generals in the past and walked between the rows on foot, watching the soldiers standing with their legs apart.

Sergeants are mostly fierce men with broad shoulders, thick arms, but not thick waists. From their size to their skin, they can be seen as veterans of the battlefield. They obey their generals and are used to being in groups, but they don't have the timidity and humility of ordinary people meeting officials.

Guo Shao stood in front of a soldier, approached face to face, and handed his hand to level his crooked armor. The soldier was a little nervous, but his speech was awkward, and he stood upright and did not move or say a word.

The soldiers were still more subdued by Guo Shao's leadership at this time. The elite soldiers were not completely rebellious. They only obeyed the capable people, just like Yang Biao. There is a bit less warmth in the army and a bit more jungle-like rules.

At this moment, the generals of each command came up to report the number of people. Guo Shao listened to them without hurriedly. Without saying any precepts, he waved his hand and said: "Disband, garrison according to the Privy Council’s military order a few days ago. ."

Each army has commanders and generals at all levels, and the garrison missions of the ministries are not allowed by generals such as Guo Shao. They are all deployed by the Privy Council; especially the personnel of the capital, if they are arbitrarily transferred or deployed without the Privy Council’s order, very serious. Guo Shao is fine if he doesn't come to patrol, but he still stays in the barracks for a long time, trying to get to know the soldiers as much as possible.

After he waited for the various ministries to switch defenses, he didn't intervene in their military affairs at all. Recently, he was sorting and copying the maps brought back from Guanzhong, a total of six.

After working for two or three months, Guo Shao felt that he could put on a memorial and present a topographic map of Qin and Feng two states, so as to find a sense of existence in the court. At this time, the court institutions were further streamlined and centralized on the basis of the Tang Dynasty, but they had not yet formed a relatively strict system like the Song and Ming Dynasties, and the weight of the Privy Council and the most important part of the military for national affairs...Guo Shao believed that he contributed pictures, Perhaps it can reach the hands of the emperor or privy envoy.

When Li Chuyun was in Yuzhou, a relative without a military position could file a complaint, and Guo Shao felt that as a general of the Forbidden Army, he could do it.

However, this is the first time that Guo Shao has played to the emperor, and writing an article is a bit anxious. He has been working on this letter for two or three days, and he hasn't made any progress yet.

Don't talk about writing articles in classical Chinese, he can't understand it even if he reads... he is not illiterate, and he can recognize traditional characters. The key is that there is no punctuation. Niang|Yes, how complicated these people who read and read in ancient times are really complicated; if there are sentence break symbols in the articles and books, it is an ink dot, Guo Shao can understand most of the articles without pressure, but they just don't.

In the Five Dynasties and Ten States for almost five years, Guo Shao spent most of his time as a pawn. Books in this era are expensive, and the sergeant pawns don’t need to be literate. How can he have the time to study ancient books? Unless there is a good way out for the imperial examinations, and you can study the imperial examinations professionally, you can study.

After much deliberation, Guo Shao decided to let Zuo You write it, and then check the similar words for himself, and then copy the matter... The last letter left without saying goodbye in Yuzhou was also from Zuo You.
