Li Gu was sent to see Guo Shao at Qigou Pass through the will of the **** Wang Zhong. But when he returned, he was personally received by Chai Rong.
"Knock to your majesty." Li Gu leaned over and bowed. Of course he couldn't see the emperor at this time, his face was almost against the floor tiles.
Hearing a "flat body", Li Gu got up carefully. He heard the **** whispering next to him: "Li Mansion, you can't make the official angry." He still didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but the hall was not big, and there was no such thing as a lofty hall. Even if he didn't look directly at Chai Rong, he could see seven or eight out of the steps.
Chai Rong has no armor, and is wearing a loose purple robe. His face is dark and spotted, and he is indeed sick. Li Gu thought of a fellow villager who had passed away. His symptoms were similar when he was ill. The fellow villager had lung swelling, except for his face, his legs were still swollen. However, Li Gu was not a doctor, and he didn't specialize in this way, so he couldn't be sure what illness the emperor had.
For the time being, however, the emperor seemed to be able to stand it, sitting there and talking.
Chai Rong opened his mouth again: "Guo Shao won 10,000 people in the performance, are they all from the Khitan? Is that true?"
Li Gu hurriedly replied: "There should be no false words. The minister saw the level transported back from Zhuozhou. There are thousands of levels that he saw with his own eyes. They are all of the Khitan and Xiren level...passing Qigou Pass. At that time, Han Lingkun and other generals also saw it; with a lot of carts full of heads, it was terrifying to see!"
When Chai Rong heard that he owed, he was a little excited and said, "Guo Shao is a good general."
Li Gu said: "What your Majesty said is that most of the Tiger and Jiefang troops are infantry. It is not easy for the infantry and cavalry to capture so many."
Chai Rong nodded and said: "Also called Na Ye Luming know that he is a faint monarch, can I still be afraid of him?"
Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, but he didn't know what he was sighing.
At this moment, Li Gu took out an article from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, the minister met General Guo at Qigou Pass. He posted a memorial and asked the minister to bring it back. Your Majesty."
The **** Wang Zhong came over, took the envelope from Li Gu, and turned to look at Chai Rong. Seeing Chai Rong nodded slightly, Wang Zhong opened the envelope, pulled out the paper inside, unfolded it, and passed it to Chai Rong's hand.
Chai Rong read it again and said: "Wang Zhong, go to you to summon the generals, and discuss matters in the lobby later."
...The generals came soon, so Guo Shao didn't reach Xiongzhou on the road, and Han Lingkun was at Qigou Pass. Everyone heard that the emperor had summoned them, and they all rushed in early, because they hadn't seen the emperor for several days, and the soldiers were panicked. If you can see an emperor, you can always feel at ease.
Chai Rong's complexion is very bad, but today's condition is better. He can walk to the public seat in the lobby by himself, and of course he can talk.
After seeing the ceremony, Chai Rong directly asked Wang Zhong to take out Guo Shao's memorabilia without saying anything, and hand it over to the generals for review. There are not many senior generals, but it took a lot of time to pass it around and watch it again. During this process, the hall was very silent and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Chai Rong did not mention Guo Shao's contribution, nor did he say that he ran away from Zhuozhou without authorization, and no one in the class mentioned it.
As a martial artist, Chai Rong's style is also very simple, and immediately said: "Guo Shao recommended Han Lingkun to patrol the northern frontiers. I plan to let Han Lingkun withdraw his troops to the hegemony and hegemony; the army class has returned to the imperial court and will come again at another time. What do you think?"
Zhang Yongde went out and said: "The Khitan masters gathered more than 100,000 troops, Renbao has marched towards Zhuozhou; Zhuozhou to Xiongzhou is only more than a hundred miles away. Your Majesty, now I am withdrawing from North Korea, Yi, Xiong, Ba, Mo Zhuzhou Will it be attacked by the Khitan?"
Chai Rong gasped for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Liao Kingdom is really ready to attack on a large scale? If Ye Luming really dares to cross the river, I will accompany him."
After listening, the audience suddenly felt a domineering rush, and they were speechless. The officials simply didn't take Ye Luming as an emperor.
Chai Rong retreated quickly, probably because he was too weak to sit for too long. However, he had already finalized the important matter in a few words. As soon as Han Lingkun reached the hegemony, the Zhou Dynasty army could retreat.
There is no need to discuss and dispute, I am afraid there is no change to this matter.
... Zhao Kuangyin left the palace unhappily and returned to the camp. He held back and summoned Zhao Pu to see him, and he told Guo Shao's letter what happened before the emperor.
Zhao Pu frowned when he heard it: "Then Guo Shao was too ruthless, he was so blatantly slanderous. The official also passed the memorial book to the ministers. This is really... the official directly accepted Guo Shao's recommendation. And staying in Han Lingkun to tour the side, is it because he has listened to Guo Shao's slander?"
Kuang Yin sighed and said: "Everyone knows that Guo Shao has a gap with me. He just slandered and said a few bad things, and everyone thought it was just human nature."
"That's true." Zhao Pu was helpless. "I thought Guo Shao would not be able to walk in Zhuozhou. Unexpectedly, it turned into such a situation. It's really hard to deal with that servant...Hey, a military commander can fight? I listen. It is said that the main staff member around Guo Shao is called Zuo You, but he has despised him before. I don’t know what the background is."
Kuang Yin said: "This matter has little to do with the staff. I woke up in the palace just now. I remember that before the Northern Expedition, the officials said that whoever made great contributions to him in the Northern Expedition was more important. When Guo Shao cracked the game we set for him, he captured the thoughts of the officials.
He first ambushed the Liao army and gained a lot of success, and then he retreated boldly after he had the credit. It caused the scheduled thing, and blatantly wrote a letter to the benefit, so I got out... I was beaten up to make me feel like sitting on pins and needles. "
Zhao Pu thought for a moment, nodded and said yes.
Kuang Yin said again: "Although I'm worried, but I have to be convinced after losing this game. In this matter, he has the ability to beat Xiao Siwen, the courage to retreat without authorization, and the ability to grasp the thoughts of the officials. , The layout is both defensive and offensive...smart! Really smart!"
Kuang Yin pondered for a long time, but then shook his head and muttered: "It's really not like the methods that generals like Guo Shao can have..."
Zhao Pufuer quietly said: "In case there is something wrong with the official family, now let Guo Shao go back to Tokyo, and then meet the queen inside and outside, the future of the lord is worried."
Kuang Yin nodded thoughtfully and said: "We have been staring at Guo Shao, but actually ignored the other person. If there is no such person, Guo Shao, a general of the guards, will not be able to subordinate to Tiger Jie. Gao Huaide, the strength is nothing more than that... I think it is not Guo Shao who is laying out this matter, but that person. This person has long planned for Guo Shao to return to Beijing, with a very clear purpose, sophisticated and ingenious layout, and I have to guard against it."
Zhao Pu immediately said: "Master, I have one more plan..."
Kuang Yin said straight: "But it doesn't hurt to say."
……
Wei Renpu and Wang Pu left the palace together, and they were also talking about the memorials of the ministers who were passing on. The two have a good relationship, but they feel like a gentleman's friendship. They rarely interact in private. They just met today.
The two are a principal of the Privy Council and a deputy envoy. Many people once said in front of Wei Renpu: Wang Pu will take his place.
But Wei Renpu didn't mind. Instead, he praised Wang Pu for being talented. If Wang Pu was a clerk, he would be happy to be a virtuous person. Upon hearing these words, Wang Pu had a rare personal relationship with his colleagues. The two are in a competitive relationship and appreciate each other...Wang Pu appreciates Wei Renpu's demeanor and demeanor, and Wei Renpu appreciates Wang Pu's vision and strategy.
It's really not easy to befriend Wang Pu. Among the hundreds of officials in the court, almost no one has any friendship with Wang Pu... This person is difficult to get along with, and often uses the magical tactics to control people and lacks sincerity. Everyone is careful with him.
At this time, Wang Pu said: "Guo Shao's playing the book is indeed very strategic."
Wei Renpu said: "General Guo and General Zhao were originally at odds, and the letter ridiculed General Zhao for being too strong. It would be no surprise to write words of punishment." He smiled again: "If it were me and Wang Shijun If you have grudges, I will also speak ill of you in front of officials."
Wang Pu glanced at Wei Renpu next to him, but did not smile. Wei Renpu laughed awkwardly twice, as if he had made a joke that was not funny, and stopped the smile.
Wang Pu said at this time: "I mean his method of attacking Zhao Kuangyin is very strategic." He thought for a while and said, "But you can't just talk about the strategy. The 20,000 infantry swallowed Xiao Simwen in one breath. Thousands of cavalry, ordinary people can't do it. This thing requires the use of military force and layout strategy. If it is just a martial artist, he has done a great job and rushed back to do it? It's all right now, Northern Expedition, official There was no public praise either."
Wei Renpu is noncommittal.
Wang Pu said again: "In fact, if Guo and Zhao are both in Tokyo, there is no way to balance."
Wei Renpu asked casually: "Why?"
Wang Pu looked around, and said in a deep voice: "How can we check and balance? For example, you and I will check and balance each other, because we have no enemies, we have to divide up and down, so we can coexist."
He can't say that it is inappropriate to give an example, but why does Wei Renpu sound so harsh?
Wang Pu said again: "Guo and Zhao are different. Both of them are holding back to put each other to death and then hurry. Once no one is pressed, I am afraid they will do whatever they can to do not follow the rules. There will be a win or a life and death. In addition, the results will come quickly... Therefore, if the officials want to use Guo Shao to contain Zhao Kuangyin, it is in vain and can only intensify internal fighting."
Wei Renpu tentatively asked: "The deputy Wang thought, what should be the best?"
Now Wang Pu is noncommittal and silent.
Wei Renpu loves to know that Wang Pu is a very creative person. Seeing that he does not say, guessing that he is unwilling to say it, he can't help but arouse him at the moment: "Could it be that the deputy Wang made the intention that one should be placed in the outer town, separate They?"
Wang Pu immediately vetoed: "Let one of them take the elite of the Forbidden Army outside, is it to encourage them in the future civil war, to consume half of the elite of the Forbidden Army... But if they seize the military power and then release them, they will leave the town. Can a person fight with another person without a good soldier? How to check and balance when it becomes a fish? This is no different from choosing a camp to help one party deal with the other! Anyway, balance cannot be achieved."
After a while, Wang Pu said again: "However, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. As long as the official is there, none of them dare to move."
