The end of March is already the late spring envoy, and there is still a bit of chill in the early morning. Guo Shao got up, opened the door and stood at the door. As soon as he looked up, he saw the city wall of Songzhou standing in the dim light. The courtyard where he lived was next to the South City Gate. It was quiet everywhere, the whole city seemed to be asleep, and Guo Shao couldn't sleep well every time at such a critical moment. At this moment, he suddenly had an illusion that even if there were many people around, the world was still lonely.
Maybe the more you get to the top, the more you will have this illusion.
He walked into the yard and turned his head to see that the door next to him was open. The unarmed Lu Chengyong and two soldiers leaned against Xiang Xiang on the couch inside. There was a flash of fire in the gap of the courtyard door, and the low voice of the soldiers faintly came from outside. Guo Shao didn't intend to wake them up. He walked to the well, saw a wooden basin there, and washed his face with water. The cold water made him wake up a bit and also extinguished some useless emotions.
On the surface of the water in the tub, through the dim light, Guo Shao saw his face, even though it was always in the wind and sun, it was still a young face. He subconsciously realized that he was only twenty-four years old this year! In his words, Yue Fei said "Thirty fame, dust and soil", which probably meant that he was already very powerful at the age of thirty; while Guo Shao was twenty-four years old and he was already an extremely human minister who was about to usurp the throne.
He felt a little excited when he thought of this. Of course, if he hadn't had previous experience of understanding the world, he might not have been able to find the right direction early.
That's the case, he really didn't think of such a big goal at first. Recalling the past, at first I just wanted to stand out so that my people can live a good life. I thought I was satisfied with something, but once I got to a certain position, my thoughts would change.
Guo Shao wiped a hand on the placket of his clothes and walked back to the room. There are a lot of drawings and slips on the table, but now he doesn't look at it and just sits there thinking.
Guo Shao usurped the throne for the first time (this kind of thing cannot be a second time, at most one success or failure), he has no experience, but he can feel it by imagination: there is absolutely risk. This feeling is like taking a fancy to a certain kind of business and saying that it will definitely make money, but after all the net worth is invested in, it is still not at ease until the results are announced.
He put his palms on his forehead and rubbed vigorously. From the perspective of pros and cons, there are some people in the world who are powerful, and everything that is not what they earn is closely related to the power center. This kind of people cares about who is in power and who is in power; there are some people, such as soldiers and people, who may not be in power. They are not willing to pay too much for things that directly affect their lives.
In addition to the pros and cons, there is another thing called identity. If an unpopular and notorious person is in the position, I am afraid that no matter who will shook his head, this is why Guo Shao needs not only power and military power, but also popularity and name.
Then Guo Shao considered "destructive power". In terms of class, the most powerful people are the general public, then the ordinary soldiers, and then the powerful bureaucrats and generals with soldiers. But everyone is not a whole. The most powerful people are in the tens of millions, but they are scattered across the vast land. Individuals are also the weakest...Who can organize and summon them and gather them together? As long as they can survive and endure, it will be difficult to be called upon.
At this moment, Guo Shao noticed someone at the door. I heard Lu Chengyong's voice saying: "The lord has gotten up? The humble post will fetch you water and wash."
Guo Shao replied, so he stopped his mind and stood up and put on his clothes and armor.
He found exactly where he put his toothbrush. If he doesn't have a toothbrush, he can use willow branches to soak in water and chew in water. This is the habit at this time. Wash your face, comb your hair, clean up and dress up...
This morning, everything was very organized. Guo Shao told him that he was in a good condition, clear-headed and organized.
He started to pack things by himself. This place was just a stop, and everything he had with him was taken away. He organized the files and put them in one bag, and put the clothes and daily necessities neatly in another bag.
When Lu Chengyong came in, Guo Shao said: "These two cloth bags are my things, you help me take them away."
"Here." Lu Chengyong answered with a fist.
Some servants from here brought breakfast. After a personal attempt, it was sent to Guo Shao's room, where he chewed slowly and ate.
Not long ago, Wang Pu, Li Chuyun, and Luo Yanhuan asked to see each other. After seeing the ceremony, Li Chuyun said calmly: "Is the lord returning to the army?"
"There is still something to do today, let's go now." Guo Shao said.
Wang Pu asked: "Is this a military order? We have to order the commanders of the military to come to the Chinese military, so everyone can confirm the title of the award."
Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan turned their heads to look at Guo Shao. Guo Shao stagnated for a moment. He seemed to be making a major decision, clenched his fists, and said with a serious face: "You can issue military orders."
Wang Pu agreed. Guo Shao widened his eyes and said categorically: "Everything is done as we discussed!"
……
"Father..." Han Tuozi looked at Han Tong nervously in a boat on the Bian River.
Han Tong held the military order he had just received and asked him to immediately go to the "Jiangnan Qianying Military Mansion" to discuss the rules of rewards and punishments. He glanced at his son's crying expression, a little moved. In the end, his son cares about Lao Tzu the most. The appearance of the son this morning is also different from the past. He is usually called father, but today he is called father. His tone is very serious.
Han Tong also felt the atmosphere in his heart. He is just habitually stern and majestic in front of his sons and subordinates.
The camel's voice mourned: "Father, don't go!"
Han Tong: "How can I not go? This is a military order. The army is still outside the country. Who dares to violate the Chinese military order is a capital crime."
The Tuozi said solemnly: "They are going to do big things. His father is in a high position and holds the military power. If he doesn't conspire with them, this trip is dangerous!"
"Holding the military power has an ass." Han Tong sneered, "The generals above the navy commander, the Chinese army's messenger has directly issued the order, what is the use if I don't go?"
Han Tong took two steps and said in deep thought: "Although I am the navy commander and the commander of the guard Mabusi, not all the people below listen to me. Their family members are in Tokyo, and Tokyo is the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Control; their military expenses and military expenses are allocated by the court. And my military power, think about it, is also granted by the court. I am the general of the soldiers, but they are not my private soldiers... I have to listen to the military orders."
Tuozi said anxiously: "When the matter is up to now, stop the generals from going to the army. Father told the soldiers that Guo Shao will rebel!"
Han Tong shook his head and said: "Is it useful? Besides, if I really do that, without real evidence, I will become treason first." He stepped forward and patted the hunchback on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid. Waiting on the boat for Lao Tzu to return."
"Father..." Huozi suddenly thumped to the ground and cried.
Han Tong glanced at him, ignored him, raised his sword and walked out of the cabin.
People riding horses on the river went to the Chinese army camp, there were many people. Han Tong took the horse rein from the guard, and led his soldiers to the large camp in the distance.
In the barracks, the atmosphere is very lively, but the military discipline is still maintained, and the guards and patrols are deployed in the marching formations without any chaos. A dilapidated manor requisitioned by the Chinese army was surrounded by large military camps.
Han Tong rode to the gate of the camp, and immediately there was a general who walked forward and marched with his fists: "Meet Han General."
Han Tong nodded and got off the horse.
The general took out a piece of paper and said: "Guo Dashuai has ordered that General Han has arrived in the army. I will take you to meet and talk."
Han Tong was stunned and nodded: "Okay."
He followed the generals into the camp and looked back calmly. Someone stepped forward to greet his soldiers, and brought them into the camp, but not in the same direction.
Han Tong and the military commander leading the way entered a house in silence, silent on the road. When he reached a doorway, he saw a dozen or so big Hanangs standing on both sides. The general who led the way turned around and said: "Please, General Han, solve the sword, it is the rule at this time."
Han Tong coughed, took off the saber on his waist and called to him. The man put his sword on the knife stand at the door, and said, "Please!" Han Tong strode into the door and walked inside to take a look. No one, only a chair and a table, no doors or windows around, only a small skylight on the tile roof, the indoor light is relatively dark.
He sat down on the chair, and the general clasped his fists as a salute: "The final general has retired." He didn't say why he retired, and he didn't explain anything.
Han Tong sat there, watching the teenager go out. He probably understood what his situation was, and suddenly he felt a little sad and aggrieved, but his temper was like this, and he didn't want to do things that would wait for flattery, but he thought that Guo Shao was not an unreasonable person who didn't want credit. People...now understand that no one is benevolent in the power field. Everyone has a bad heart, and would rather take the world under the people, not the world under me!
He felt very sad when he thought of his life's battles and countless small battles, but the ending was dying in such a simple and dark corner.
It’s good to let Lao Tzu die in the battle of thousands of troops! Han Tong sighed in his heart and looked around again. There was only one door in this room, and those who wanted to do it would only come in through the door.
I don't have any weapons in my hand, but the chair I'm sitting on can be used for one purpose, and I can also swipe the bow and arrows in various gears. Han Tong is ready to stand before death, even if he fights like a husband.
He held his breath and stared at the door, but put his hands on his knees and waited. The light of dawn was shining outside the door, and I looked at this world for the last moment. It is still very quiet now, most of the noise of the barracks has been isolated by the wall, just like the tranquility before the storm.
