In the Tokyo market, some shops open late, and shops selling fabrics generally have no business in the morning. The wooden planks (equivalent to rolling doors in Guo Shao's eyes) on the facade are being removed, and the day’s business has not yet begun; at this time, Guo Shao has finished the day’s affairs of the temple department and is riding a dark horse. The imperial city walked.

In the imperial study room of Jinxiang Palace, Guo Shao walked outside the inner door and saw Fu Jinzhan still processing the memorial. There are many memorials on the yellow tablecloth, but they are all neatly placed there. Jinzhan wears a purple round-necked gown and a headpiece. She looks very calm, and her movements are elegant and carefree.

An **** next to Guo Shao saw Guo Shao, bent over and said a word next to Jinzhan, and then withdrew with a few people. Fu Jinzhan also raised his head and smiled at Guo Shao.

"The minister knocks on the Queen Mother."

"Flat body."

Guo Shao walked to the table and Fu Jinzhan pointed to the waist stool next to him: "Sit down and talk." Guo Shao said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother." He sat down on the stool and said, "Yesterday the minister sent someone in. The palace reported a private matter, did the queen mother hear about it?"

Fu Jinzhan gently placed the brush in his hand on the inkstone, and then used a paperweight to press down on a piece of paper in front of her. Her finger was wearing a yellow ring. Her fingers were long and slender, but the details were very round. All in one, if there is such a thing as infusion in this era, her blood vessels must be difficult to find. The sunlight from the window came in, and at a certain angle, the reflection of the ring flashed a bit + one + book + reading + novel +.

"Didn't you have the second sister and Li Yuan'er? If you can give birth to a boy, you will have a successor in the Guo family." Fu Jinzhan said that there was not much emotion when he said the matter, and he said indifferently.

Guo Shao owed and said in a low voice, "If someday there are also calendula..."

A trace of shame flashed across Fu Jinzhan's face, he looked through the inner door, and whispered: "I don't want to."

"Why?" Guo Shao said.

Fu Jinzhan said: "General Guo has a successor, so you are responsible for the ancestor of the Guo family; we have a male in the Fu family. I don't need to take this responsibility now."

"Just conscientious?" Guo Shao thoughtfully.

Fu Jinzhan said: "I have never liked children."

Guo Shao thought for a while, and said: "It is said that when Wu Zetian wants to pass on the throne, he wants to pass it to the people of the Wu family. Di Renjie said that after a hundred years of the emperor, if your descendants are on the throne, they will place the tablet on the mother in the Taimiao . Because of Wu Zetian, he dismissed the idea of ​​Chuanniang family..."

"I don't need others to remember me, just remember me." Fu Jinzhan said.

Guo Shao was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "What if I'm not there anymore?"

Fu Jinzhan looked at his face and said, "Will you not let me go with you?"

Guo Shaodao: "It would be too much to do so, it is like being buried."

The expression on Fu Jinzhan's face seemed to be a smile but a smile: "I have walked through Guimen Pass twice, and then I wanted you to accompany me to my death."

Guo Shao didn't even think about what Fu Jinzhan said for a while. He often felt that his knowledge was more advanced, always thinking that the ancients might not understand some of his speech, but rarely encountered things that he did not understand the ancients' thinking... as long as they speak spoken language, not written language in classical Chinese. But now, he found that he did not necessarily understand what Fu Jinzhan said.

"Wang Pu also wrote a letter, suggesting that he should continue to use troops in the south." Fu Jinzhan changed the subject, "After the attack on Shu, the court has tasted a lot of benefits. If you continue to attack Nantang, the whole country will support this. A strategy."

Guo Shao came back to his senses and said: "The Great Zhou built the country by military force. As long as the army does not strongly object, we do not need to listen to the people of the world... The truth is sometimes in the hands of a few people."

After Fu Jinzhan heard the last words, he raised his delicate black eyebrows on his white skin and said: "What General Guo means, north and south?"

Guo Shaodao: "No, I have expressed my attitude before and I also support the next step against Nantang State; what I said just now means that my attitude is not to conform to everyone."

Fu Jinzhan put his wrist on his chin, looked at Guo Shao's face with bright eyes, and asked with interest: "Why does General Guo make such a judgment?"

In a piece of history I have read before, after unifying southern China, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to recover the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, but he never did it. He set up a savings warehouse and declared that he would send Youyun Sixteen States to Liao. Buy it back... It's also said that it's secretly accumulating money and using it to reward soldiers for the first level of beheading. No matter what the warehouse was used for, it can at least show that Zhao Kuangyin was very cautious about starting a war with the Liao Kingdom and was able to fully realize the strength of the Liao Kingdom.

Otherwise, Zhao Kuangyin is unwilling to take back Youyun Sixteen States? It was impossible, and he probably wanted to take it back in his dreams. No emperor would refuse this kind of great feat of exile.

Although Zhao Kuangyin is Guo Shao’s mortal enemy, Guo Shao will not deliberately slander his ability in his heart. Zhao Kuangyin is a real hero... This kind of people think that Liao is difficult to fight, and they dare not act rashly. There must be him. Insight.

Guo Shao thought about it and said: "Liao is now at its weakest time. The timing is more appropriate, but it should not be too impatient... First, if one strike fails, the external pressure we put on Liao is likely to be It has an impact on its internal dynamics; successive failures (Last year Chai Rong’s Northern Expedition occupied several peripheral states) will weaken my country’s confidence in victory."

Fu Jinzhan nodded slightly: "It makes sense."

Guo Shao said again: "Second, risk. After the victory of the Shu Kingdom War, Dazhou was calm, the authority of the court rose, and internal conflicts were alleviated; but it was not as stable as Mount Tai, and it still could not withstand too much failure. The defeat may lead to internal unrest; it will also weaken the elite strength that Da Zhou has accumulated over the years.

Good soldiers are not easy to accumulate. I was born as a junior soldier, and I know very well that a soldier with combat capability is rare; not just a male can become an elite. The average person's arm strength is only 20 or 30 kilograms, and qualified soldiers should at least draw a strong bow of one stone or two and fight, and the physical strength is not the same level at all. It requires a strong body, long-term training and accumulation of actual combat experience. It's not just a few months of training for one or two years to fight a tough battle. The one or two hundred thousand army of the Kingdom of Shu, facing more than 20,000 people on my east road, is still too weak to dare to fight. This is the reason. "

Guo Shao continued: "Thirdly, we are not prepared for ourselves, and we still need some time. Attacking Nantang itself is also a kind of preparation. Fighting against such a country whose military strength is not as good as that of Dazhou, will not lose money but will make money. , We can continue to expand our armaments; successive war victories will continue to elevate the status of our court, and the layout will be more stable. At that time, our resilience to bear losses will increase."

Fu Jinzhan said: "The three principles mentioned by General Guo are all very real. I agree with your proposition."

Guo Shao nodded and said: "So we have to prepare well in advance, concentrate our strength, and then do it, we need to go all out."

Fu Jinzhan whispered: "In case the Youyun Sixteen States cannot be recovered, it is useless to force it. There will be other ways to continue to maintain it."

"What the Queen Mother said is that if there is really nothing she can do, then no one can do it." Guo Shao said, "But I want to try. Now the Queen Mother is in power in the Zhou Dynasty, if the Queen Mother has achieved such a big Achievement...the world will remember the Queen Mother, and the history of the ages will also remember this."

He looked at Fu Jinzhan's eyes and whispered: "Not only I will remember the Queen Mother, but billions of trillions will remember you."

Fu Jinzhan's face immediately showed a smile, "The moment I left, I probably won't be so scared anymore."

The two were silent for a while, immersed in the vision they had just now. Guo Shao opened the mouth and said: "You can fight Wuping (Hunan) first in the Southern Tang, and approach the Southern Tang from the upper reaches. Wuping Jiedu originally belonged to the Chu Kingdom, and Chu rebelled after being defeated by the Southern Tang. The remnants of the Chu Chu were not strong enough. You don’t have to work too hard. Luo Yanhuan’s guards stationed in Jingnan are full of soldiers, plus some navy returned from the Shu Kingdom, enough to deal with Wuping."

Fu Jinzhan nodded.

Guo Shao pondered: "Let Li Chuyun be in charge and go to Jingnan to transfer troops to take charge of the Wuping battle?"

Fu Jinzhan didn't answer right away. She didn't say a word, reaching out to play with her ring, as if thinking about something.

Many people in the Forbidden Army thought that the superiors would stare at Shi Yanchao. In fact, Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan didn’t care about him...Last year Guo Shao thought about Li Chuyun. Now seeing Fu Jinzhan’s hesitation, he understands. , Some thinking is not unique to him, Fu Jinzhan's heart is probably the same; although the two of them have never talked about Li Chuyun.

Fu Jinzhan finally said in a low voice: "If Li Yuaner gave birth to a boy, and Li Chuyun is very powerful, how will you end up?"

Guo Shaodao: "Li Chuyun is at least not up to my level."

Fu Jinzhan still didn't let go: "Brother Shao should think again about it carefully. There is no shortage of generals who can be the only one in the court... Isn't Xiang Gong also very useful? Even though he didn't break Jiannan Pass, it was the same in defeating Hanzhong. Capsule exploration objects."

Guo Shaodao: "According to my judgment, Li Chuyun is a rare general. But he does not have much prestige in the army, and it is very difficult to lead troops. If left idle like this, the Northern Expedition will not be able to give full play to his skills in the future. It’s not going all out."

"Do you care about using one or two less people?" Jinzhan said.

Guo Shaodao: "It depends on people to make things happen, but we have to do our best before handing over the jurisdiction to heaven... and Li Chuyun can't wait for the day when it becomes a hidden danger."

Jinzhan moved her body and asked softly: "What does this mean?"

Guo Shao said: “Once the imperial court’s external military pressure is reduced, the current military system will no longer be insured. The Privy Council and the Second Division centrally control all the power of the military, as if the sword has been out of the sheath... In the future, we will divide the military power. , Separately constrain the power of commanding troops, the power of dispatching troops, and the logistics. We weaken a part of the war capability and add a little more insurance. During the peaceful period, of course, the system of the war era should no longer be used. It is difficult for anyone to use force casually. "

Fu Jinzhan listened and said: "Since you are up to the point, let Li Chuyun take charge this time."
