The cloud layer in the sky is extremely low, so low that people worry about falling on the roof of the attic in Bazhou City.
The little snowflakes in the sky were blown across by the wind, like catkins in late spring, and paper money for funerals, adding a bit of sadness. The house is hot and busy.
In the front courtyard of the palace, there are several ministers and officials. There are also many military officials in the side rooms on both sides. People are very busy. The food, armaments, fortifications, and intelligence of the 200,000 army must be reported here for processing. The former camp military government is also responsible for issuing military orders and other matters. There are many things.
There seems to be only one idler here, Guo Shao.
From time to time, he listened to Zuo You and others reporting important news in the hall, and then sat there for a while; from time to time, he got up and went back to the detention room to look at the pictures. Anyway, he didn't need to do specific things, and hardly did anything all day.
Occasionally, he went to the courtyard behind the second hall, and there was nothing to go. He could only walk back and forth on a long corridor. It was snowing outside, and he did not expect to go in the snow.
There is always a feeling of restlessness.
At this moment, Wei Renpu came in, and Guo Shao looked back and saw him, so he stopped in the corridor and waited. Wang Pu didn't come this time and stayed behind in Tokyo. The person who presided over all the branches of the former camp was Wei Renpu. Wei Renpu worked very hard, getting up early and greedy the dark very carefully. After all, Wang Pu was too spoiled in recent years, and the emperor would first ask Wang Pu before making a decision on any major event.
Wei Renpu stepped forward.
Guo Shao's mind suddenly showed the grand scene of the camp on the snowy field with no end to the end, as if he heard the heavy and dull sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow.
He said solemnly: "Has Jinzhou been attacked?"
Wei Renpu said: "I haven't been attacked yet."
Guo Shao raised his head and looked at the snow fluttering in the sky. He was silent for a while, then raised his hand and said: "Send Zan Jurun to inspect in Jinzhou, and the memorial letter from him is sent directly to my signing room."
Wei Renpu said: "Comply with the decree."
Wei Renpu couldn't help but said again: "Will the Liao army mainly attack Jinzhou? The river flowing through this place connects to the south of Youzhou city, and its location is more important."
Guo Shao continued to look at the snow in the sky: "This kind of weather is not suitable for a battle of 100,000 people..."
"Yes, it's too cold in winter." Wei Renpu echoed.
Guo Shao frowned again and said: "Is the Liao army really going to attack Jinzhou?"
He is in this relatively quiet place, trying his best to capture some intuition. The military staff has enough inference strategies. Guo Shao doesn't need this now, and he needs something unspeakable and inspirational.
There is no reliable and detailed information, and some mysterious intuition and smell are often needed to make judgments.
The whole game of "chess" looks complicated, but can't be rushed. Guo Shao is looking for a sense of relaxation and rhythm with the Liao army...because in this case, Guo Shao did not "set rules" The initiative, the initiative is in the hands of the Liao army; but he can't make a dead move and let the Liao army calmly break the game.
Guo Shao's mind is very confused, he even thought of many gears spinning. They are biting, matching, and moving.
So keep up with the rhythm, and conversely restrict the power of the Liao army through the bite force. Never be led by the nose by the Liao army!
...A few days later, Xueqing. Guo Shao entered the detention room early in the morning, and saw a group of ministers and generals waiting there. There were several memorials on the table. Both the Qianying Military Mansion and Zan Jurun also reported that Jinzhou was besieged by a large Liao army.
The elders talked a lot, seeing Guo Shao salute first, and then talk again, the atmosphere was a little anxious. Someone is discussing how many people to send and which one to send for reinforcements.
Guo Shao carefully read Zan Jurun’s memorial first, then turned to look at Wei Renpu: "Are you sure that no fortress was captured and destroyed?"
Wei Renpu said: "The fortress of the town army has not been breached yet."
Guo Shaodao: "Although Jinzhou castles and small castles are tightly guarded, if the Liao army is determined to attack, it is still easy to break. After all, the township soldiers are really lacking in melee combat."
After hearing this, the generals immediately agreed: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Defending the city will inevitably fight, not to mention the fact that the town army fortress is not high."
Guo Shao said again: "In this memorial, no one mentioned that the Liao army used large equipment such as catapults and ladders. Since the Liao army attacked fortifications, they did not even use siege equipment?"
Wei Renpu pondered and said: "The battlefield chosen by the Liao army is not in Jinzhou? What is the plan to attack the west?"
Li Chuyun said: "Where will the Liao army attack? Zhuozhou? Reinforcement Zhuozhou is indeed the farthest, but Zhuozhou's role...seems like it won't be offensive to the Liao army's blood."
Someone commented: "We have a line of defense, but we also have weaknesses. The forces are too scattered, and it’s not easy to gather troops in a decisive battle!" "It’s okay. The four cities have heavy defenses, even if there is a few outside the city. Ten fortresses were pulled out, and it would be difficult for the Liao army to conquer the city for a while!"
Shi Yanchao looked back at the others and hummed: "Who led the cavalry|mother to fight face to face with you! I rushed into the battle and took the weak spots."
Guo Shao's gaze swept across Shi Yanchao's face and stayed on Dong Zun's face. Dong Zunhao raised his head... but Guo Shao said nothing to him.
At this moment, the **** Wang Zhong walked in from the door and saw so many people in the room. He bent over and walked to the side of the wall and walked silently to Guo Shao's side.
Guo Shao turned to look at Wang Zhong's arm with a fur coat. Wang Zhong whispered: "It's getting colder and colder these days, and the servant girl heard that Hebei has good leather, so she asked someone to sew a fur coat according to your majesty's figure."
"Hey, it looks good." Guo Shao said.
Wang Zhong listened with joy on his face, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, try to fit the size."
Guo Shao stretched out his arm and asked Wang Zhong to put it on him, and reached out his hand to touch the hair on the collar and said: "This hair is quite soft, it doesn't sting at all."
Guo Shao asked: "What kind of leather is it?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Fox skin and sheepskin."
Guo Shao nodded and looked back at the ministers: "You are very hardworking, I am very pleased. Don't worry, we have arranged in advance. I see that you are all working hard, and your heart is at ease. Just keep your breath. Too much panic is prone to errors."
A crowd of people worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise."
People who can stand here are familiar with Guo Shao. They fully understand Guo Shao's past record and ability. Last time he shot the Xiazhou party member with an arrow, but it was the most appropriate thing. When everyone saw that Guo Shao had nothing to do, they relaxed a little.
Guo Shao stood up and said, "Stop performing their duties. Jinzhou is fine for the time being. Don't be frightened by the hundreds of thousands of Liao army. We have 300,000 people and did not say anything. Scared?"
Suddenly Shi Yanchao laughed out loud with a "pouch" and saw that everyone around him was looking at him seriously, so he closed his smile and stood there holding his face.
Everyone said: "Send your majesty."
Guo Shao walked out of the signing room and walked silently to the corridor, pacing forward slowly.
Liao Huang Yelujing, Xiao Simwen, Yeluxiu and others, Guo Shao has never seen him before, but from the previous encounters, he gradually understands the other's thoughts; perhaps after this time, Guo Shao will understand them better .
There is a saying that is right, the one who knows himself best is the enemy; of course the purpose of understanding is to make him die! If you only fall into hatred and do not treat the enemy calmly and intentionally, it may be easier to take humiliation.
...The weather has been fine for several days, and news of Jinzhou keeps coming. Guo Shao still did not deploy on the active front. As long as the Bazhou Center did not issue a military order, all the ministries were in place to execute the military orders in advance.
At this moment, it suddenly reported that the Liao army of Jinzhou had gone west! The news of Zhou Jun was very timely when his large group of people moved not far away.
The chief civil servant of Bazhou Palace exhaled and talked.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty can calm down. Otherwise, when we gather the main force in Jinzhou, we are going to Zhuozhou again at this time?"
"That's not good. Running around by the nose will affect morale." Dong Zunzuo said, "The soldiers under the public knowledge are well literate, but there are a lot of complaints. They will complain about the person above. ."
While listening to the discussion, Wei Renpu said in his heart: The Sacred Heart is unpredictable.
On his face, he said calmly: "Your Majesty's fur fits well."
Everyone also echoed a few sentences. Now Zhuozhou is threatened again, but everyone seems to be less worried than before.
Yang Biao said: "Go in and see the official's house."
Guo Shao met the ministers in the signing room. Some people think that once the Liao army bluffed, it might be a second time. Prime Minister Li Gu was here today, but he said: "So many people in the Liao army have to run around and they have to waste food and horsepower. Maybe this time they will really hit Zhuozhou."
Guo Shao didn't make a statement, and he himself was not sure what Liao people would do. As long as the Liao people did not launch a substantive attack, Guo Shao wouldn't panic. Anyway, the icy and snowy people would have to eat food and see who could consume it.
It's really going to fight, how did the Liao army fight? Guo Shao thought that he could check his pulse first, and then he could find the time to cut into the competition between the two sides.
Guo Shao took a ruler and measured it on the map, and said: "The main cavalry force will go to Gu'an County first."
Everyone immediately held their breath, Shi Yanchao walked forward half a step.
Guo Shao looks slightly sideways: "Shi Yanchao is the main forward of the cavalry..."
Shi Yanchao was overjoyed and said loudly: "Take Ling!"
Guo Shao reviewed his surroundings and said to Li Chuyun: "Li Du has to be the commander in check, to control the main force of the imperial cavalry, and to act in accordance with the military orders, and the opportunity can be expedient."
Li Chuyun said: "The minister will follow the decree and will surely live up to your majesty's heavy responsibility!"
After several visits, Li Chuyun was more aggressive in fighting the Southern Tang and was very conservative and cautious about the Liao army's operations. Guo Shao was still assured of him.
Guo Shao looked at Dong Zunzuo and said, "General Dong and Hu Ben's right-wing horse army stay in Bazhou to guard."
Dong Zunzuo didn't say much, he clasped his fist very obediently and said: "It will be the last." So far, what Dong Zunzuo is going to do, even the central ministers don't know.
At this time, Guo Shao had some intuition that the war might really be approaching.
