The carved wood windows are a bit dated in the simplicity, but they are full of oriental elegance. The brush calligraphy and ink painting on the wall are unique decorations.
But there are two knives, forks and spoons on the table. The forks are three-pronged made of sandalwood.
Guo Shao said: "When I saw ancient books, the emperor Zhou (Western Zhou Dynasty) used these cutlery to eat meat, so I asked people to imitate two sets."
Dong Zunzuo looked interested, and replied earnestly: "Your Majesty's martial arts is conquering the world, so he can read the scriptures, these food utensils are an eye-opener for the minister!"
After waiting for a long time, two commoner waiters came up with two pots of hot fried lamb with brown soup on them. Then Wang Zhong carefully placed two glass cups and poured the purple-red wine into the cups.
Guo Shao picked up the knife and fork, held the lamb on the plate with a wooden fork in his left hand, and saw a piece of mutton skillfully with his right hand. A piece of meat was dipped in the soup with a fork, and then he put it in his mouth and chewed.
It can be seen from the sawn cut surface that the lamb is dark red and has an illusion of staleness. Anyway, it is not very good-looking, because Ge was shot to death with a bow and arrow without bleeding, and the blood remained in the meat.
When chewed in the mouth, it also feels soft and lacks the texture of meat fiber.
But what is needed is this kind of taste, reminding people of how this sheep died and where it came from!
"There was pepper noodles in the soup, to avoid the fishy, and I didn't feel the blood of revenge|feeling pleasure!" Guo Shao said, and immediately cut another piece and put it straight in his mouth, chewing and closing his eyes intoxicated.
The quiet house exudes the scent of elegant books, but Guo Shao here is like seeing crazy iron horses, blood-spattering blades, and deafening screams of fighting.
Guo Shao exhaled, opened his eyes, and saw Dong Zunhao also drawing on the same knife and fork.
Dong Zunzhuo was full of interest and his expression was devoted. No matter what strange things Guo Shao does, the people who accompany him will be flattered, and will truly devote himself to it, making Guo Shao feel very comfortable... This is probably one of the benefits of being an emperor.
Dong Zunzuo is also very serious in learning. He was originally a son of a family. His sitting posture was very decent, and his archery hand was very stable. He was able to learn well.
Guo Shao picked up the wine glass, Dong Zunhao hurriedly raised the glass glass with both hands, "Your Majesty thank you for giving a banquet, first do it as a respect." After he said, he drank a glass of wine.
Guo Shao smiled, and Dong Zunzheng was still a little nervous. He turned his eyes slightly, and Wang Zhong stepped forward to pour the wine for Dong Zunzuo again.
However, Guo Shao was not in a hurry. He took a sip and tasted the mellow and sweet taste, which was the opposite of the salty taste of lamb. This wine reminds people of the gentleness and beauty of women.
At this time, Dong Zunhao and Guo Shao talked about sending the prey to the villagers and so on, and the two had a very happy conversation.
Guo Shao is tasting the various flavors in it. The calm mood after relaxation is a breath of relief after a long time of tension.
After lunch, Guo Shao took out a piece of origami paper from his sleeve and handed it to Dong Zunzuo, and said lightly: "I have approved the appointment letter of the Privy Council. The Tiger and Cardiac Army’s right side has 20,000 steps. Then General Dong will be in charge."
Dong Zunhao hurriedly knelt on one knee, took it with his hands, and said: "The final will definitely live up to your majesty's important task!"
Seeing Guo Shao nodded, Dong Zunzhuo stopped speaking. When even stood up and fisted to give thanks for resigning, he stepped back a few steps, then turned and walked out of the door. He couldn't help but glance back at the door.
Seeing the sunshine coming in from the carved window, the emperor sitting on the chair with a gentle smile was also looking at himself. The bright and majestic person, with eyes like a spring breeze, made Dong Zunzuo's heart bright, as if he saw a glorious future!
……
Youzhou South Campus, Xiao Siwen's quiet expression, quite murmured. He thought that Yeluxiu didn't guard Youzhou well, and blamed him for nothing to provoke Zhou Guo's anger and trouble his upper body.
"The Yellow River and the Yangtze River are thousands of miles away from the north and the south, and the population of the south is billions of trillions. Today, Zhou is in power, and it is out of time for Daliao to avoid delays..."
Yelixiu refused to accept: "Guo Tiejiang is a strong master?"
Xiao Siwen said: "Guo Tiesmith started at the end of the day. Today, you and I have seen the way of advance and retreat and the use of soldiers. In the past few years, he fought in the North and the South, even destroyed several countries, and repeatedly thundered the rebellion. This is the brave generation; with a humble body, quickly promoted to the throne, and defeated the more powerful generals Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde, etc., can gather the chaotic forces of the Zhou Dynasty, and persuade the people to control the civil and martial arts to form a group. There are also mental methods in the governance."
Xiao Siwen paused, and said in a more serious tone: "Regardless of whether Guo Tiejiang is a strong master or not, the minister thinks that the rise and fall of the Great Liao depend on this person!"
Brother Yeluxiu turned into anger after hearing this, and repeatedly asked for battle in front of Khan.
In this battle, he did not make an inch of merit, leading his troops to attack Tianjin and Zhuo, with his fists hitting the wall; he went to encircle and harass Zhou Junqingqi in the rear, but rushed into the air. Brother Yeluxiu was very angry at Xiao Simwen's words, but only by speaking with a record can he be tough!
Unexpectedly, the ministers did not support him!
Yelixiu looked back around, everyone averted their eyes. Brother Yeluxiu hurriedly attacked his heart, and suddenly sneered on his face. He said in his heart: When this commander won, you all applauded Slaughter Yizhou. Now if you lose a little bit, you will turn your face and deny you!
At this time, a minister said: "Zhou State will stick to the defense lines of Zhuo, Gu (An), Xin, and Tianjin, and it is difficult for Daliao to break through. It is better for the army to retreat to the grassland for the time being. Zhou people may rebuild in Wenyu River, Sanggan River and other places. The new city, after it is divided and guarded, we will look for opportunities to defeat each one."
"Finally found a good excuse! What a good one to lure the enemy into division, and defeat each one!" Yeluxiu sneered, he was the last person to give up.
The minister's face was a bit stiff: "Otherwise, Daliao tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of horses are stationed in Youzhou. If things go on like this, what are the benefits of consuming Daliao's nationwide products? It can only stand in a stalemate like this, and it has no effect. "
George Yeluxiu said: "Don’t be short-sighted, Youzhou products, many of you enjoy them every year. Speaking of division? Youzhou City is on the bank of Sanggan River. Once Zhou people build a city on the bank of the river north of Jinzhou, You can go straight to Youzhou; now, under the threat of our army, Zhou Guo dare to come up and build the city?"
Yelixiu turned his head and looked at Xiao Siwen coldly, "I remember Deputy Envoy Xiao once said that Youzhou is very important to Daliao."
Shaw Siwen was speechless.
...The Liao army spent the winter in Youzhou, but has not been able to effectively attack on a large scale. Zhou Guoren also clung to the southern frontier defense line, without any movement and calmness. The battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops is like a pool of stagnant water!
The two armies of Zhou and Liao had finished the Lantern Festival in the Hebei battlefield. The Liao army finally withdrew the main cavalry from Youzhou and quickly moved north. The majority of its infantry and its equipment remained in Youzhou, and Zhou Jun had nothing to do with the Liao army who had left when he learned the news.
Guo Shao immediately called the ministers and generals to discuss matters in Bazhou.
He first met with Prime Minister Li Gu alone, and asked Li Gu to move southward to dispatch supplies and replenish the city's grain storage by land transportation; when the river ice melts, he will transport grain, grass and construction materials northward.
As to the lobby, a large picture has been hung on the wooden frame on the upper side.
After everyone paid the courtesy, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, walked to the wooden frame and pointed a simple line on the map with his fingers: a "Y" shape that was approximately tilted to the left.
"This is the Sanggan River, and the Wenyu River to the east." Wei Renpu said straight to the point, and took a brush to draw a circle on the left branch of the word "Ya", "Youzhou City, roughly in Here, the Sanggan River lies to the south of the city, and the water from the moat also draws the water from this river."
Everyone looked at it attentively, the picture is easy to understand. Guo Shao calmly waited for Wei Renpu to explain the general plan of the former camp.
Wei Renpu swayed freely, pointing his finger at the word "Ya", "When the river is frozen in spring, three cities will be built here! The three cities are divided into two rivers, the west is'Yicheng', and the middle is'Xuanren City. ', the east is'Acropolis'.
Only waiting for the completion of the three cities, the Hebei battlefield will form two balanced lines of defense between the rivers, the northern line of Zhuo, Gu (An), Yi, Xuan, and Weicheng, and the southern line of Yi, Xiong, Ba, Xin and Tianjin. Five cities.
The northern line uses ‘Xuanren City’ as the attack on Youzhou base camp (located in the middle of the Y-shaped river). The army departs from Xuanren City and heads west along the north bank of the Sanggan River until it reaches the foot of Youzhou City. The remaining four cities provide shelter for the two lanes and two wings of the northern line.
The five cities on the southern route defend the river and water transportation, forming a depth of offense and defense. It enables the army to attack and retreat, with plenty of room for maneuver. "
Guo Shao looked back around, but no one said anything. Li Chuyun and other generals knew that this was done by Guo Shao, and would not easily object, but the cost of such a method is hard to estimate... Guo Shao is the emperor, he can get the money, and the generals have no opinion.
Wei Renpu waited for a while, and then said: "In this case...the elite cavalry of the Forbidden Army stationed in the north of the site of Xuanren City, and built pontoon passages on the Sanggan River and Wenyu River, and set up infantry camps for defense.
Before the army of the Liao State goes south, step up the construction of the city. According to the method of Xincheng and Tianjin, first build military fortifications and outer forts, which can be completed within one month; first stand on your heels, and then build the city walls.
The Zhucheng Tubao on the southern line was demolished, and the main force of the township army moved north to the northern line for fortification and defense.
Before the main force of the Liao army went south, all the infantry and township units retreated to the southern line for rest, and the main cavalry was stationed on the northern line. "
After Wei Renpu bowed his hand to the superior, Guo Shao nodded and said: "The arrangement made by the deputy envoy Wei is quite appropriate, do you understand?"
Everyone prayed: "The ministers are pleased to follow your majesty's will."
Guo Shao got up and left the meeting when he saw this. He has maintained the more cheerful style of being a military commander, and will leave after speaking. Unless there is a dispute, it will be meaningless to extend the time too long.
People immediately bowed and shouted: "Send your majesty."
Guo Shao retired to the detention room and received a memo from Tokyo, mentioning that the great cannibal envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty had come to Tokyo for worship. Guo Shao suddenly remembered the fine cannibalistic sailing boat, and he wrote a letter and sent it back to Tokyo without hesitation.
If you have a good sailboat, you may have more choices strategically! The big cannibal can sail to East Asia from places as far away as Arabia; then, wouldn’t it be very easy for the same sailboat to sail near the Bohai Sea?
