Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty Chapter 516: Silk wrapped around old trees

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!

Jinxiang Temple has been around for some years, and the corners and window frames have obvious signs of wear, but after all, it is an important building and should be regularly repaired. Apex novel, so the environment in this side hall doesn't look new, but it's cleaned and arranged beautifully. The chair Guo Shao sits on is decorated with gold ornaments on the wood, but where the body can touch, the armrests and cushions are sewn with soft and delicate brocade. It is gorgeous, less expensive than all gold-cast dragon chairs, and has details. Very thoughtful.

Such an environment makes Guo Shao feel calm, although noble but not ostentatious. The yellow dragon robe and sacred head on his body are new tailor-made clothes. The pattern on the ribbon is carefully crafted, and the material is soft and bright. It is just that the copper-colored slightly rough skin on his face does not match the delicate costumes. It's so commensurate, there is even a small scar on his cheek, even he himself doesn't know when he bruised it on the battlefield. Guo Shao doesn't look like a good-living person at all.

The men sitting on the two sides below are similar to Guo Shao. They are dressed in fine silk and satin, but they are rough men, especially Li Chuyun and Yang Biao with big beards... They look like silk. Wrapped in the trunk of an old tree. Even the civil servant Wei Renpu had dark skin and a strong figure, and the muscles on his arms supported the silk.

At this time, Wang Pu calmly said: "The old official thought that in the current situation, the troops should be used first from north to south.

Since Shu and Nantang are destroyed, the South has no power to threaten Dazhou, and Wuyue, Nanhan and other places have no ability to attack Dazhou. There is no need to rush for success in these places. In the early stage of Wuyue State, the main focus should be to appease and persuade surrender; this place is a quagmire. Nantang navy and infantry are not weak, but they have also been trapped in Wuyue and progress is difficult. The two countries have been grieving for decades. Nantang State has not yet been able to destroy Wuyue. Da Zhou's use of martial arts is also a trouble. In the Southern Han Dynasty, the officials heard that the king was faint, and he could recruit and surrender first, and then use the local divisional division to capture his land; and our main force in the Central Plains should be prepared to deal with the northern enemy. "

In the scene at this time, Guo Shao was sitting in the front, and the ministers were sitting on the two sides, speaking clearly and without quoting scriptures; it was really a bit of Guo Shao's style of discussing matters in the front hall of the palace.

Guo Shao feels that every circle will gradually form a unique way of communication, which is related to the background, habits, and thinking of the members. For example, in the "gentlemen" circle in the pre-Qin period, if you do not quote the "Book of Songs", you will be regarded as uncultured; in the articles and remarks of ancient civil officials, there will always be the words of the sage and the economic saint; the later officialdom will always have a set derived from horses| Columnism, or what kind of grand speech of thought or theory.

But no matter what method is used, there will always be some implicit "overtones" in it.

Guo Shao heard the overtones from Wang Pu's remarks. He habitually lifted the brush and recorded in the book what he heard at this time.

He sits very upright, his back is upright and he writes with seriousness, using a brush, unlike a hard pen, he can write on his stomach...Wang Pu advocated that the north and then the south should be for a very important reason: restrict military commanders as soon as possible military power. Except for the war with the Liao, the Central Plains dynasty did not need to continue the previous military system and still had the strength to regain the south; but unlike the Liao, it was originally a powerful enemy and restricted the enthusiasm of military officers to attack them. As long as you recover the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, you will be able to enter the step of fully restricting military power.

Wang Pu turned his eyes slightly and saw that Guo Shao was still taking notes while listening to his advice. The expression on his face was very helpful and greatly encouraged. Wang Pu went on to say: "The Khitan master is faint and cruel, and the internal people are unstable. I can't spend time and miss the opportunity for the remaining small countries in the south; I should seize the opportunity to expedition to the north as soon as possible, and take advantage of its weakness to defend the north. Advance to the Great Wall!"

He thought for a while and then said: "Today, the Forbidden Army has been tempted by war for a long time, and is adept at martial arts; but if you spend ten or eight years in peace, it is still unpredictable whether you still have the current combat power. Therefore, the veteran believes that the Northern Expedition should be sooner rather than later, and the internal recovery and stability can be deployed to the north."

Guo Shao asked: "Wang Shijun thought, how should I proceed?"

Wang Pu glanced at Wei Renpu, and Wei Renpu stood up with his fists in prayer, and then took out a scroll of drawings from his arms. When Guo Shao saw this, the people in the Privy Council had already prepared for this.

Wei Renpu hung the drawings he had brought on the wooden frame above, and Guo Shao and the ministers looked over. Wei Renpu had a calm demeanor and pointed his finger at the picture: "Your Majesty, colleagues, please look here, the position of the Northern Han Dynasty.

This thick line is Taihang Mountain, the western side is the North Han Kingdom site, and the east side is the area facing Hebei. First of all, the North Han army came down from the south and approached the Yellow River. It was a hidden danger with swords hanging in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Southward advances could threaten my heart. Secondly, when we attack Youzhou, our dynasty must emerge from Xiong, Ba, and Yi (Hebei), cross the Juma River, and use this as the base camp and the rear of the army; the main force of the Northern Han army can enter the Xin and Dai basins from Jinyang (Taiyuan). Then enter Hebei from the west side of Yizhou, and if you go east, you can threaten our way back to the Northern Expedition.

Northern Han Dynasty is a wedge embedded in ‘China’, and it must be pulled out and then settled. "

Guo Shao listened intently, and Wei Renpu was still as demeaned as before, with a refined air, and strong in speaking. Guo Shao has always admired Wei Renpu, this person has both martial arts style and etiquette style.

Wei Renpu said: "Assuming that we seize Youzhou, we must go further north to capture Yanshan, Xishan, and Yunzhou (Datong, this section is the area of ​​the Ming Dynasty Xuanda line of defense), and push the border to the Great Wall. There are risks. The Northern Han Dynasty is a threat to Yunzhou and must be removed.

Therefore, the king's ambassador and his ministers agreed to take Youyun and attack the Northern Han Dynasty first. "

After he finished speaking, he bowed to the superior again, and Guo Shao nodded in response. Wei Renpu returned to his seat. Guo Shao looks back around: "Do you have any comments?"

Li Chuyun and Yang Biao did not intend to speak, and the two civil servants, Wang Pu and Li Gu, did not say anything. Shi Yanchao, who was like a small mountain, sat among a few people, like a size one, and like a gorilla, his eyes rounded in a daze.

Without commenting on the opinion of the Privy Council official, Guo Shao stopped asking. Seeing that it was not early, everyone had to return to the Yamen office. Guo Shao asked about Tokyo's defense military order and then disbanded.

...Today, when it was time to adjust the defense, Guo Shao didn't read the memorial after discussing the matter, and went straight to the Donghua Gate of the imperial city, and boarded the head of the city to watch the defense army. As expected, he chose the right position, and there were many people on the horse street on the east side of the imperial city who were mobilizing in accordance with military orders.

Guo Shao watched for a while and was very satisfied with the military discipline and appearance.

When the soldiers are in Tokyo, they don't need to carry a lot of food, grass and military equipment, and the armor is also very neat, of course, it looks much better than when fighting outside. The neat queue, "Kaka, Kaka..." The dull and heavy footsteps were full of strength. Guo Shao thinks it looks better than singing and dancing.

At this moment, someone found the yellow umbrella cover on the tower, and shouted. The soldiers looked sideways, and there was an uproar in the street for a while, and the shout of "Long live" seemed to echo throughout the city.

……

The emperor’s strength, high status, and the soldiers in the queue are very powerful. The people and pedestrians on Maxing Street were all turned to the side of the road, watching the soldiers and horses respectfully and fearfully.

Since the Han and Tang dynasties, Wu Fu’s status has not been low and has never been discriminated against. The Tang Dynasty even regarded meritorious deeds and worship as the world’s greatest glory. That’s why there are many frontier fortress poems. There are literati "like a scholar "Wan Huhou" remarks.

At this time, after the melee of the late Tang and the following dynasties (Five Dynasties), Wu Fu was even more assertive. The war caused the world to fear and hate the warriors... But the Zhou army forbidden army was fortunate, the military discipline was relatively strict, and it rarely disturbed the people, so the people, the people of Tokyo did not have many prejudices against these forbidden soldiers.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were not the lower class like serfs. In fact, they were the high-quality young and strong class of the Zhou Dynasty. Height, strength, and age are all screened. Many soldiers are literate, and this group of people is now quite affluent. The imperial court gave priority to military affairs, and a large amount of social resources were tilted towards the army. In the recent battles of the attack on Shu and the Southern Tang, Guo Shao also rewarded them with a lot of money...

The image of the generals is not because of the occupation of martial arts, but the Forbidden Army itself has recruited a group of elite young people... If in the era of emphasizing culture and despising military affairs, high-quality young people will go to study imperial examinations, the world will You will feel that scholars are respected.

There were some young ladies and young ladies who were blocked by the road. Seeing the soldiers in the queue, many young ladies looked like peach blossoms, watching excitedly. Even the old lady praised her. The men in the world are tall, short, fat and thin, but the Forbidden Army soldiers are all tall and strong young men, and they have land and money, eat royal food, and have the opportunity to be promoted to bureaucrats with merit, and they can meet the emperor without any problems. No wonder the women like it.

Yao Erniu on the side of the road looked at this scene with excitement. Regardless of whether the person standing next to him was a stranger or not, he felt a sense of superiority and said: "I am also a member of the Forbidden Army. Everyone is my brother!"

Someone couldn't help muttering: "Look, it doesn't look like, if you are a member of the Forbidden Army, what would you do if you stand here?"

Yao Erniu felt like he was splashed with cold water, thinking that he had just resigned to the commander, and his heart surged with discomfort. Commander Zhang Jiankui already knew about his family's situation. As the family only had Yao Erniu and a young man, he would probably agree.

Yao Erniu made a fortune when he returned from an expedition in Southern Tang. The Third Army of the Left Wing of the Tiger and Cardiac Army where he belongs has won many battles. Yao Erniu was brought to the front row during the Battle of Dangtu. He divided a lot of money when he was appreciating his merits... Have seen so many belongings.

He took the money to buy a house, shop in Tokyo, and a piece of arable land in Kaifeng Prefecture. Since he already had money, he might die in the army, so he didn't want to do it. This is not just a proposal to disarm and return.

However, at this moment, Yao Erniu sighed "oh", looking rather unhappy.
