"Oh, the tea cup is still full...the small one will heat the two.," Dr.Tea walked over and quickly put two empty cups on the teapot, and then he could not help secretly. Taking a look at Zhou Xian, he was stunned, "Duo Duo..." The tea cup quickly filled up, and the hot tea spilled onto the table and a white vapor appeared.

Guo Shao sat across from him, and Zhou Xian was angry and his eyebrows were cold. Guo Shao said: "Does it look good?"

Dr.Tea immediately recovered, followed Guo Shao’s voice, suddenly turned pale, and fell to his knees: "Small damn, little damn..."

Guo Shao was a little surprised to see this appearance. He was dressed in a cloth robe and his head, as if there was nowhere to reflect his identity; he rarely entered and exited the teahouse, and it was impossible for a teahouse buddy to recognize him. But Dr. Cha was frightened like this... Just now, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. After all, he couldn't get through with a guy; he didn't do anything unforgivable.

"Wipe the table dry." Guo Shao said casually.

"Yes, yes." Dr. Cha hurriedly pulled the towel off his shoulders, dried his sleeves with a few strokes, bent over to face Guo Shao, not daring to look at Zhou Xian again. With a light wave of Guo Shao's hand, Dr. Cha escaped from the private room in relief. .

Zhou Xian's eyes flickered, he looked at Guo Shao, and said softly: "General Guo scared him."

Guo Shao said: "The Dr. Cha doesn't know who I am..."

Zhou Xian's face blushed and said: "You don't need to know your identity, you can tell at a glance that you are not annoying." Guo Shao smiled: "I am like a bully?" Zhou Xian shook his head: "I have never been this way. It’s a place, but I also understand that people come and go here every day; don’t underestimate Dr. Cha, you have seen more people than us, how can he not see what General Guo is like..."

But Zhou Xian is not exposed to the dust, even if he is angry, he is not scary, on the contrary, he is charming and cute.

She frowned again: "Let's leave here, I don't want to be stared at by messy people."

Guo Shao nodded, got up and walked to the bamboo curtain, waiting for Zhou Xian to pick up the drapery hat and get up. Seeing that the bamboo curtain had been opened, she lowered her head and walked out silently. The two quickly disappeared from the hall.

They got into the carriage of Chen Jiali's house and rode in the same carriage. Zhou Xian said: "I want to go to my cousin's house first, and the entourage and groom who follow me are still there."

Guo Shao shouted: "Go back to Chen Mansion west of the city."

Zhou Xian rubbed his hands gently, covering his mouth and let out a sigh of heat.

"Drive!" The man in front yelled and flicked a whip. As soon as the carriage moved, the people in the carriage leaned back slightly. Guo Shao stretched out his hand to support Zhou Xian's shoulder. As soon as his hand touched her body, her shaved shoulders trembled slightly. She stretched out her hand and gently lifted Guo Shao's hand...In this era, although Neo-Confucianism has not yet emerged, it is still incomparable with modern times, and she casually touches a woman's body from time to time.

Zhou Xian whispered: "In such a cold day, your hands are still so hot."

Guo Shao boldly reached out to hold Zhou Xian's slender jade hand, she shrank back without breaking free, and did not struggle any more. Guo Shao simply held one in each hand, and said nicely: "Is it warm?"

Her face is flushed, her beautiful eyes are gentle and drooping, and she doesn't speak. At this time, Guo Shao remembered the question Zhou Xian had asked before, and was interrupted by Dr. Cha; but later Zhou Xian did not ask again, so he stopped mentioning it.

Farewell, the next day Zhou Xian left Tokyo with Li Yu, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and others.

……

At this time, in late October of the fourth year of Xiande, Xiang Gong had mobilized thirty-nine command troops to approach the important place of Shu Road: Qingniling. The 20,000 troops and tens of thousands of people on the roads continued to flow continuously. At this time, the signs of using force could no longer be concealed.

Zhou Jun went south from the two roads and walked all the way to Chencang Road, Chencang (Baoji), Dasanguan, Fengzhou, Guzhen, Qingniling; all the way to Qinzhou (Tianshui, Gansu), Chengzhou, Guzhen, Qing Mud ridge. ..

(Going south from Qinzhou, you can go straight from Longyou to Shu from the "Yinping Road", but the Yinping Road is a narrow narrow path that is not suitable for army movement; and Xiang Gong’s goal this time is Hanzhong, so the two armies must be in Guzhen converges, attacking Qingniling...or if you don’t walk Qingniling, you have to use the "Lianyun Plank Road" to insert into the southern part of Baoxie in the east, and go straight to Hanzhong. But as the name suggests, Lianyun seems to be connected to Yuntian. Sinister plank road. The best way to march is Chencang Road, which is a bit detour, but relatively flat.)

Xiang Gong led the strikers to reach Qingniling North quickly, and immediately launched an offensive, intending to break through this dangerous place in one effort.

Unfortunately, the sky is not beautiful. Although the mountain is cold and cold, it is sunny; only that mountain, it is freezing and raining halfway. The climate in this place seems to be cursed by God, and there are few dry times throughout the year, which is very evil.

The army is in pieces on the hillside. Xiang Gong tried the mountain road by himself, and felt very strenuous, so he couldn't scold the soldiers for no reason. It is impossible to ride a horse, and it is very difficult to walk with a horse.

Things up and down in the sky, the rain is mixed with ice particles, and it doesn't fall too much, but it falls very slippery on the ground. More people stepped on the road and the road became muddy, with a layer of ice water and thin mud floating on it, solid hard soil underneath, and the road is a sloping ramp, slippery step by step, the taste is unspeakable.

Xiang Gong walked less than two miles, and asked a general who had been stationed in Guzhen all year round: "When will this place be sunny?"

The general said: "Yes, sometimes it is sunny, there are ten days a month, no more than fifteen days. But usually the clouds are thick in the sky, especially in winter, it is cold, and the road is not dry after it is clear, and it rains. I have been in Guzhen for more than two years, and I often send scouts to spy on the movement of the Shu army. I rarely encounter dry roads... It may be better in summer."

Having listened to Xiang Gong, he thought: I can't wait for half a year until summer to use soldiers, right? When the weather is clear, the head feels better, the road is still difficult to walk.

He slid sore feet and sweated profusely. After thinking about it, he decided to overcome the difficulties and forcefully asked the soldiers to attack once...just arrived in Qingniling, maybe he could still take advantage of the lack of preparation of the Shu army.

Xiang Gong straightened up and looked at the surrounding situation again. Most of the sergeants fell for an unknown number of times, and they were all in mud. In addition, the soldiers were exhausted just after the day of marching here.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw a line of defense on the mountainside. The Shu army digs ditches and builds a village on it, looking from a distance at Zhou's noisy army on the hillside. Xiang Gongzhu approached and watched in person with a wooden stick, and the minister persuaded, "Be careful, general."

Xiang Gong ignored it, and trudged for a while to see more clearly before stopping. I saw many drainage outlets between the trenches, a fence was built behind, and some simple grass and wood sheds were built. It seems very structured.

Xiang Gong thought, bows and arrows would be damaged when used in rain water. Shu army hid in the grass and wood sheds to avoid the rain, and they could use the long-range command to shoot. Because of the slope, the Shu army only needs to shoot dozens of steps away, and it can shoot more than a hundred steps... But Zhou Jun can't use the bow and crossbow in the rain, so he still has to be shot at a distance of more than a hundred steps; And the road is so difficult to walk, climbing more than a hundred steps in the mud, I am afraid that the bow and arrow will slowly collapse.

He took a look and felt that the odds of winning were small. He resisted the depression, gave up his intention to attack, and immediately ordered: "All those who followed are withdrawn, and today I go down the mountain to rest."

...Xiang Gong had to send someone to inquire about the condition of the Baishui Road, while waiting for Qingniling to clear.

Not long after, the scout came back to report that a section of the cliff path on Baishui Road had been destroyed and could not be passed through... In the past, Guo Shao used this road to raid the Shu army behind Qingniling. The movement was so loud that it seemed to have caused a garrison. The generals of the Shu army in Qingniling took it seriously.

Xiang Gong has no worries; he can only follow the road opened by these predecessors, otherwise he may get lost if he fails to get through. Now I have to try Qingniling first.

Fortunately, two days later, I learned that the sky on the mountain was clear and Xianggong did not wait for the road to dry, because the generals in Guzhen couldn't do it. Now people are asked to prepare fire, tung oil, cloth strips and other things, and once again lead the army to the mountains.

The combat effectiveness of the Shu army is not as good as that of the Zhou army, so Xiang Gong still wants to try, thinking that those huts are a weakness. Before the fortifications, the soldiers were ordered to gather the army to prepare for war.

Zhou Jun barely reorganized into an army two hundred steps away. The swordsman in the front and the archer in the back slowly approached amidst the sound of the "dongdong" drum. The noise gradually rose in the mud, drums, shouts, and shouts resounded across the mountains. Unsurprisingly, Zhou Jun was still more than a hundred steps away and was covered by arrows and ballistas from above.

"Brothers, as long as you pass the Qingni Ridge, the road behind is easy! Now we have some hardship, let's go straight ahead!" Xiang Gong yelled behind the formation. The generals of various ministries were also yelling, and the flags were advancing while shaking.

"Ah!" There was a scream in front of him, and a soldier with less armor at the back struck an arrow and fell into the mud and screamed. People were injured by arrows one after another, Zhou Jun moved more slowly; there was a slippery muddy road under his feet, and arrows were flying in front of his head. Everyone had no chance to fight back... The shooting distance was far away from the shooting range. Inside.

However, Zhou Junzhen soldiers still showed a relatively tough endurance, stupefied and advanced dozens of steps with arrows. At this moment, the generals in the army shouted: "Ignite..." Shao Qing made a sound of a gong, and the generals roared with their voices: "Arrows! Arrows..."

There was a "crackling" sound. When I looked up at Gong Gong, a swarm of rockets roared away like fireflies. Sure enough, the grass and wood sheds within the fortification fence were lit, and fires gradually appeared in many places, and the smoke above it was noisy.

"Swish swish..." A bunch of rockets flew away again, and Zhou Jun fired several rounds in a row. The fence is already full of flames.

But because it was sunny, those Shu troops were not in the shed, and at this time they were still hiding behind a barrier that was as high as half a person, shooting back with arrows. The two sides shot each other within fifty steps, and the battlefield was noisy.
