Before winter came, there was a light rain in Jinzhou. The rain pattered, but the ground was wet, and when the horses stepped on it, it was all muddy.

Six groups of people on the main road rushed to the Jinzhou city construction site. They were all men, wearing hats or straw hats, carrying hoe? First-class tools, and carrying packages.

Gao Yanjian rode up to the people and asked people to ask them what they were doing.

Someone in the crowd yelled: "We have brought our own rations and come here to help repair the city! The general will leave us behind."

"The imperial court has not forgotten Hebei, and the northern expedition twice a year. The villagers look forward to the arrival of the king, how can they not contribute their efforts..."

After hearing this, Gao Yanjian was greatly moved. He immediately jumped off his horse and hugged his fist and said: "Yandi righteous man understands the righteousness, please be respected by this general!" He said loudly, "This general is Gao Yanjian from Shu," The officers and soldiers are all Shu people. I heard that the people in Hebei were deeply harmed by the Liao people. Would they dare to expel the Hu people from the conquest? I will wait thousands of miles away..."

At this moment, a military commander came forward and whispered in Gao Yanjian's ear: "Your Majesty has come to Jinzhou for inspection."

Gao Yanjian immediately turned his head and asked: "Where can I get?"

The military commander said: "It's coming soon."

Gao Yanjian immediately greeted the general Hou Mao and said: "You come to comfort the people who come to the camp, but you have to register when you get into the camp. These people usually don't come alone. They are all in the village. The country’s hometown confirms the identity."

Hou Mao held his fist and said: "I will understand at the end."

Gao Yanjian immediately took someone to meet the emperor.

......Guo Shao met Gao Yanliang's people on the post road, and a group of people in front of him got off their horses and bent over and held their fists to salute: "Welcome your Majesty!"

"Exemption." Guo Shao said.

Gao Yanjian said calmly: "It's raining and it's cold, please let your majesty breathe the dragon body at the end."

Guo Shao nodded to deal with it. He was riding a horse in armor without covering his head. Although the rain was very small, it soaked the armor and clothes for a long time. The helmet and plate armor were covered with water droplets. The water droplets gathered under the brim of the hat dripped down on the face from time to time, which was full of coolness.

Guo Shao's face is not very good, and he doesn't talk very much. He just said: "Take me to see the fortifications of the city."

His voice is very low, but his words are thicker, and it sounds solid.

"Here." Gao Yanjian answered with his fists and turned to his horse.

The group of people slowly rode towards a construction site on the river bank. The dark horse under Guo Shao's seat shook his head, throwing the drops of water into the air. The ground was muddy, and the horse seemed to express dissatisfaction.

Gao Yanjian pointed to the people in front of him and explained their origins.

Guo Shao complimented upon hearing this, and then said: "You have to beware of spies getting in."

Gao Yanjun said: "At the end you will have to watch out."

A group of people circled the city around the city. The perimeter of the built city wall was not long. Many people were transporting soil through the rain, and some people carried wooden chucks on the soil wall and shouted for strength.

Then people came to a hillside with higher terrain. An official from the Ministry of Industry dismounted and came to Guo Shaoma and presented a pair of drawings: "Your Majesty saw that the city wall is very small. This is a temporary fortification, and all follow the arrangements of the military government."

Guo Shao took the picture and took a look at the construction site in front of him.

Actually, what is being repaired now is not a city wall, but an earth wall, with a trench outside, which is only a temporary fortification. Because winter is about to enter, building the city wall is more difficult, and time is not enough... The Liao army may take the initiative to attack in winter, and the current preparation is for winter defense; there is a place to stand, hoarding food, grass, and soldiers.

I won’t rebuild the city outside the fortification until I have a firm foothold. An administrative system has been established, and Jinzhou City will be built sooner or later.

Guo Shao recalled left and right and said: "The earth wall fortifications must be quickly established. General Gao will send more scouts to patrol around. You are the furthest away from Zhuozhou. If Yeluxiu came to harass, you would probably choose Jinzhou. As the goal."

Gao Yanjian and others hurriedly prayed: "The ministers are pleased to follow the imperial decree."

Guo Shaoyao pointed to the distance in the drizzle, and said: "When the main city fortifications are built, the township army will reinforce Jinzhou and build a fortress around the city in the northeast. The two-tier deployment is used as an early warning and Peripheral offensive and defensive fulcrum; the main force of the Jiannan Army is located in the center of the town to defend the granary. There is also the aid of the imperial army in the rear to protect the safety of Jinzhou."

Everyone agreed, saying that the emperor was strategizing.

"Drive!" Guo Shao kicked the horse's belly lightly and rushed down the hill. When everyone saw it, everyone followed him.

Guo Shao entered the fortification area to inspect, he looked very carefully, and even asked about the toilets and drains. There are also food, winter clothing, shelters for sergeants and civilian husbands, etc. He came to a hayloft kitchen, took a piece of wheat cake from the bamboo basket, and tore a piece to taste.

Gao Yanjian hurriedly found a wooden bench and asked Guo Shao to sit on it. So the emperor was in a straw shed, holding a wheat cake in one hand and a branch in the other, drawing on the mud and telling the army. Tactics designed by the government.

The generals gathered around and listened, discussing a few words from time to time.

At this moment, someone outside heard someone say: "Your Majesty is in the house."

The veteran Tan Shitou walked in with a soldier, and the soldier presented a memorial with both hands. Guo Shao put the wheat cake on the chopping board, took a look at the memorial, and said: "Youzhou got the news that the Southern Court of Liao State has been replaced. Official Xiao Siwen is restored to his post and takes over as the King of the Southern Court."

The generals shouted: "Xiao Siwen is your majesty's defeated general!" "This man is not your Majesty's opponent..."

Guo Shao is noncommittal. Guo Shao did defeat Xiao Simwen in Zhuozhou during the Northern Expedition of the first emperor. But when he attacked Youzhou earlier this year, he found that Xiao Simwen was very good at collecting information, deploying city defenses in a targeted manner, and it was effective.

Guo Shao didn't undermine everyone's confidence, so they despised Xiao Siwen; but he didn't despise him in his heart. Guo Shao has never seen Xiao Siwen, but from the two contacts on the battlefield, it seems that Xiao Siwen is not as good as a famous general in Liao. He has insufficient sense of smell and experience on a specific battlefield, but his grasp of the overall situation is not comparable to that of ordinary generals. Enlightened, able to learn to change strategies very quickly... I heard that the royal family of Liao only married the Xiao family, and the Xiao family was the designated prime minister's clan. No wonder the strategy was better than other Khitan people.

After receiving the memorial, Guo Shaoruo casually continued to patrol the place.

For a few days, he took the cavalry back and forth along the Juma River, focusing on the construction of the fortifications of the two cities. In early October, he returned to Zhuozhou City where the imperial army was stationed.

After entering Zhuozhou City, by accident, Guo Shao recognized that the house of the "6 genius doctors" had come back. The small courtyard survived the disaster and is still there today. When Guo Shao was a military commander, he was in this courtyard.

He looked sideways and saw that there were clothes hanging on the wall of the current courtyard. There should be people living...but it must not belong to the 6 families. The 6 genius doctors are deceased, and 6 Lan is now in Tokyo.

Things are not humans, Guo Shao suddenly gave birth to a trace of feeling, and passed by here silently. He thought of 6 Lan begging him, and as expected, Xiao Simwen had come to Youzhou, but he didn't know if he had brought his family.

Guo Shao went straight back to the palace after running for several days on the muddy and difficult road in the wind and rain.

Zhuozhou is far away from the city of Jiangnan in the Central Plains, but you can always find a better house as a palace. Guo Shao took a shower and changed clothes, and stopped in the bedroom.

It was still raining outside, and Guo Shao thought of those construction sites, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Ghost weather!"

The inner house is very quiet. From a distance, some guards in armor and swords can be seen walking slowly under the eaves. They are a group of two, silently observing the surrounding movement.

Near the bedroom, only the **** Wang Zhong and the veteran Tan Shishi.

Guo Shao has been abstinent for a long time without taking Jingniang out, but at the moment he still can't get down, because he can't do other things, he walked back and forth for a while and walked to the map to ponder military affairs.

"Siwen Xiao is more conservative than Yelu Xiu," Guo Shao said as if to himself.

Wang Zhong timely echoed: "Your Majesty's words are extremely true."

Guo Shao glanced at him, then lowered his head to ponder for a long time, and an intuition came to his mind: the Liao army will launch a massive counterattack in winter!

Many times, Guo Shao relies on intuition, just as the aim of archery relies on feeling. It is a subtle thing. There is not much reason for judgment, but I believe in its reliability... But the mood is not very good recently. He has captured this intuition from the dark, but he can't be confident.

Perhaps, it can be inferred like this: If the Liao army wants to use light cavalry to harass, Yelv Xiu is better than Xiao Siwen; and at this time, he suddenly replaced Xiao Siwen, maybe it was accumulating something big!

Guo Shao raised his head and looked out the window. The extremely low sound of drizzle made the surroundings seem more peaceful...like dead silence.

Yes, the Great Zhou Army of Juma Hebei Line has been very quiet these days, but the Liao Army is too quiet! It was so quiet that people did not believe that the Liao people would just sit back and watch.

The tranquility before the storm.

Guo Shao looked at Tan Shitou: "You will contact the soldiers of Cao Si. If you have any news, let me know immediately."

Tin Shitou hurriedly said: "Final will follow the decree. I have put a few brothers in the Yizhou Branch of the Bingcao Division, and I will know what is going on soon."

Guo Shao said: "There may be news coming from Beijing recently."

Qin Shitou is unknown, so I looked at Guo Shao in awe... Several times Guo Shao foreseeed a trivial matter, and Tan Shitou was very accurate now, but Tan Shitou could not figure out how the emperor knew.

If the Liao State were to mobilize its army to go south in the winter, it might start gathering troops in various places now. The scale of this mobilization is very large. As long as people in Beijing can see some signs with their eyes.

Guo Shao is thinking about everything in his mind. After a few days of exhaustion, he has no sleep, and he has been in a state of tension and excitement. He was a little worried and worried in case something went wrong; he was also a little hopeful that every time he spent a contest, he would be able to make the whole layout one step forward! So he seemed a little impatient, wishing to see the upcoming results quickly.

He took a long breath and recovered. The surroundings were calm and nothing happened. Time was still slowly passing by bit by bit, calmly. This was destined to be a long process.
