The gate of a courtyard outside the imperial city of Jinyang. Someone shouted: "The emperor is here." Then suddenly there was a short voice: "Drink!" Two rows of stubborn soldiers straddled their feet and raised the cherry spears together.

Guo Shao strode to the door with his sword, and suddenly found that the postures and expressions of the soldiers were very strange. They were not as tall as they were usually asked, but they wanted to bend down, all with their eyes. Secretly looked at himself with awe on his face.

He glanced at it and walked into the lobby, sitting down in the upper position.

The civil and military on both sides stood up from their chairs one after another, and bowed to the salute: "Your Majesty will live forever!"

"Get up." Guo Shao said casually as usual, raising his hands upward, and then saying, "Sit, sit down and talk."

Guo Shao stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. Looking back on his left and right, there were more than a dozen people, including the civilian officers of the "Former Battalion Military Mansion" and senior military generals. At the moment, he resumed his seriousness and sharpness in handling affairs, and spoke clearly Pay attention to concise and concise, and speak faster.

"In the capture of Jinyang, the battle of the Northern Han Dynasty is already in sight. In the current situation, the East facing Gong reported, and the Youzhou Army retreated to the northeast; Li Chuyun reported to the north, and the Liao Army retreated to the north of Xinkou and stationed." Guo Shao said. Then, he glanced around again, and fixed his gaze on Wang Pu's face.

Wang Pu leaned back and didn't dare to look directly at Guo Shao. He looked at the ground and clasped his fists and said: "The old minister is thinking about two strategies."

Guo Shao said hurriedly: "Wang Shijun said it's okay."

Wang Pudao: "First, recruit surrender. To all the northern Han kingdoms, including the Xinzhou defensive army, let them surrender with the righteousness, advantages and disadvantages. The northern Han kingdom has been destroyed, and even Jinyang cannot stop the great Zhou army. Zhucheng has neither elite soldiers nor heroic cities. Resilience can only be destroyed all the way, except for surrendering to the Great Zhou.

Second, confrontation. The army of the Liao State guarded the northern pass, and Da Zhou did not need to attack, as long as confrontation and consumption. After Xinzhou surrendered, Li Chuyun's department could take possession of the city, and the rear would send grain to the nearest for support. It took a year and a half without any impact. The Liao army was different. The land north of Xinkou was more barren and lack of food and grass. The army had no place to eat. The looting of Daizhou and other places could easily cause the local Han generals to resist. They had to supply supplies from the Liao Kingdom thousands of miles away. There are a lot of people and horses, and horses are more edible than people. Leaving the grassland depends on food supplies, which is very costly. They cannot stand against us for a long time. They either withdraw their troops to escape north or attack south.

The internal stability of the Liao Kingdom is unstable. There is no preparation for a long-term battle with me in this fashion. Jinyang has fallen into my hands and it is no longer necessary for the Liao army to go south. What's more, even if Brother Yeluxiu goes south, the worst of Dazhou can rely on Jinyang to fight against him and remain invincible.

So just wait and see the confrontation and consume the food. The minister thought that the withdrawal of the Liao army was only a matter of time. At that time, the Great Zhou will no longer surrender and regain Daizhou and other places and occupy the entire territory of Hedong! "

Guo Shao agreed with Wang Pu's plan very much, and immediately said: "Good!"

Wang Pudao: "According to your majesty's will, the old minister later issued military orders to Li Chuyun with orders from the military mansion."

Guo Shao's current military and political process is very concentrated and lacks checks and balances, but it is very efficient. Just like such a military event, Wang Pu proposed that Guo Shao’s attitude was very clear. He didn’t even listen to other people’s opinions. He could make decisions on the spot and implement them immediately through the shogunate’s "former camp military government." This system is very useful during wars, but its drawbacks are also obvious. Assuming that the monarch’s control is insufficient and Wang Pu wants to manage his party members publicly and privately, it is too easy (the clerk in the Zhou Taizu period was too powerful and lacked checks and balances. , I want to coerce Taizu).

Guo Shao also believes that after Jinyang City is broken, large-scale battles are no longer needed. Sometimes he felt that war was a kind of trend, and everyone would follow the trend... Just as Wang Pu judged, what kind of trend the enemy and the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty would follow.

At this moment, Wang Pu looked at the generals again and said: "The Great Zhou Army is not afraid of the Liao Army, but now it is fighting against the Liao Army in Hedong, and I cannot get the results and benefits. Hedong is already me. The things in the Korean bag cannot open up territory through battle; the Liao army has also controlled Xinkou, Yanmen and other passes, and it is dominated by horse soldiers. Even if we win, it is difficult to gain much.

Unprofitable battle, the best choice is not to fight. To fight the Liao army, it is better to choose Youzhou! "

The audience was immediately moved after listening, and for a while began to whisper.

Wang Pu said again: "The minister didn't mean to attack Youzhou now. The Northern Expedition still needs years and months to prepare."

Guo Shao was also eager for a while. He had been in the Zhou army forbidden army since the first emperor ascended the throne. He wanted to fight the Gaoping battle that year. The emperor led the main force of the forbidden army to conquer himself. Although he won the battle with the North Han army, he won very It was difficult and almost defeated at first; now, the field battle between Baigu and Yang Ye, as well as the capture of Jinyang, went smoothly... Guo Shao couldn't help but think that the current Zhou army forbidden army is more powerful than a few years ago. Promote.

Recover the Youyun Sixteen States. This is a deceptive achievement for any Central Plains owner!

However, Guo Shao also realized the power of the Liao army during the battle in southern Youzhou during the Northern Expedition. This matter still cannot be underestimated.

At this time, Wang Pu submitted another memorandum, which was a detailed submission for the aftermath of the Northern Han Dynasty, Anmin, and the garrison. Guo Shao didn't care too much. One reason was that he believed that Wang Pu and others could handle these things well, and the other was that he was attracted by even greater temptations at this time, and that was Youzhou.

Guo Shao probably took a look at the main garrison events. Wang Pu suggested that Jinyang’s soldiers should be transferred from the "Dragon City", and then they should be deployed from the mainland to garrison Jinyang city defense, split the military power, and appoint civilians from the court to take the main power... Jinyang garrison is only for defense and no longer bears Responsibilities of sending troops to attack.

Guo Shao probably agrees with Wang Pu’s proposition. This proposition is mainly to weaken Jinyang’s military capabilities... Mainly, this city is very strong, and it can be attacked and defensive. . After being weakened, and then taking back control of the Hedong lands, Jinyang cannot control the surrounding lands, so it will not be able to obtain resources and power.

The generals said something more concrete. Guo Shao slapped a palm on the chair and stood up: "This is the end of today's discussion. Wang Shijun and Zuo You followed me into the back hall, and the others left."

Everyone also bowed and stood in the hall, saying: "Send your majesty."

Guo Shao invited Wang Pu and others to discuss privately first, and asked them to help judge the possibility of recovering Youyun Sixteen States.

Wang Pu reminded: "The great victory of Jinyang was unexpected, but Youzhou is not Jinyang. We must not be proud of the victory, and we must not underestimate the strength of Liao."

Guo Shao nodded solemnly, and said humbly: "Wang Shijun reminded me yes."

Wang Pu is very particular about his speech, and he usually doesn't flatter him. He will always say some "offensive" blunt words every time, but those blunt words will not irritate Guo Shao, but will have a sense of closeness; and Guo Shao speculated that if one thing really went wrong, Wang Pu also left a way for himself. After all, he had long reminded the superior that he had not neglected his duty as a great minister to assist the king.
