Chapter 124 Second Sister

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Guo Shao set off the next day and passed Bagong Mountain.

Most of the right wings of the Hujie Army were stationed on the east side of the mountain. After Li Jixun stepped down from the imperial guards, the commander of the Xiangdu Zhao Chao led the army. At this time, they lacked military rations and were waiting for Li Gu to transport military rations.

Guo Shao decided not to see Zhao Chao for the time being and left Shouzhou first.

When they arrived at the left camp outside Shouzhou City, all the generals spontaneously arrived at the headquarters of the Central Army.

Guo Shao also did not appear in front of the generals for a while, and paced back and forth in the houses of the small village wrapped in the military camp, feeling very bored.

Two things: the first thing is to ask for merit and advance to military positions on behalf of the general. There is no chance to speak in Yangzhou, and there are not one or two of them who have meritorious soldiers; there is only one or two who have meritorious soldiers; there is only a report to the guards, Sima, the Infantry Division, Li Chongjin.

The second thing is the matter of the Fu family.

Fu Yanqing's letter was very ambiguous, just inviting Guo Shao to reminisce about his old friendship.Last night, Guo Shao analyzed the relationship again and felt that the Fu family's attitude was not optimistic.

There were many high-ranking families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were also many capable young generals.Why did Fu Yanqing write a letter and have an ambiguous attitude to himself?It must be the queen's meaning, so Fu Yanqing can choose Guo Shao.

Since the queen has spoken... Guo Shao is also an unmarried bachelor, does Fu Yanqing still need to be vague?

The only reason is that the Fu family may look down on Guo Shao a little and want him to go to Hebei for more observation and review.

Guo Shao only started to make a fortune at the beginning of last year. In less than two years, of course his basic family was not as good as those warlords; even though he was a good soldier, his status was not as good as that of the warlords.

Most wealthy families may think that his status is already tall enough, but the Fu family, where the daughters of the kings who have been crowned for generations can marry the emperor, is obviously not that satisfied with Guo Shao's family, which has a status of not being high and has a small population.

Fu Ermei is already twenty-three years old and was simply a daughter of the remaining fighter level in ancient times.

If any person with status could be looked down upon by Fu Yanqing, he would have married long ago... The remaining fighters of this era are generally not a problem for girls. The marriage of a lady with her parents depends on her parents, and it has nothing to do with her.

Guo Shao thought about it, but he didn't think that Fu Yanqing was wrong.

With Fu Yanqing's attitude, he gave him a basin of cold water, Guo Shao reflected on himself, and his foundation was really fragile and insecure.

A military general and a rookie of the imperial guard who rely on military merits alone, once a single family fails, the Guo family will become a situation where nothing is wrong, and the reliability and security are too low.

But he was not willing to give up his marriage with the Fu family easily... It is precisely because of his thinness that he wants to join the family with deep roots!

Furthermore, the queen once said that the second sister looked very similar to her, and Guo Shao was purely full of longing for the second sister, even if he had never seen her.

There was once a Westerner who said that if you truly fall in love with a woman, you will feel that all other women in the world are dull.

Guo Shao felt that this sentence was a bit exaggerated, but it seemed to make sense. He really felt that no one could compare to Queen Fu.

The Yang family that the emperor praised did not show her face at that time, which surprised many people on the spot. Objectively, if they were not very beautiful, they would not have treated them extra. They would have never touched her like a rare treasure, but in the end they were cheap. There were many women in the world, and real beauties were still scarce.

But even a beauties like Yang, Guo Shao just thought they looked okay, but they didn't feel much... He even went back that night when he was rewarded, and he actually forgot that Yang.

This is his own problem, not Yang's appearance is not enough.

However, Fu Ermei was completely different in Guo Shao's heart. Guo Shao always remembered a sentence from Fu's family... The second sister looked very similar to me.

At this moment, Zuo You walked into the room and asked: What's the matter with the lord?

Guo Shao said: I went to Yangzhou to meet the saint, but I didn’t have the chance to ask for merit for the soldiers.

Zuo You disagreed and said: The future is long.Aren’t the lord promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Infantry and the governor of Xuzhou?This is already a good result.

Guo Shao nodded and went to the main hall as the lobby of the Central Army with Zuo You.I saw dozens of people standing here. When Guo Shao came in, his eyes were all turned to him and he bowed.

Guo Shao raised his hand and signaled that everyone would be exempted from the gift.

He first looked back and forth. There were six regular troops in the left wing of the Hujie Army. Most of the generals of the First and Second Army defected to the tent and had several brothers installed. Moreover, these people have served under their command since Qin and Feng. The foundations of the two armies are very stable... The other four soldiers also established prestige because of their great defeat in Shouzhou, but only a few people including Deng Fei were clearly willing to serve.

If Guo Shao can pass through the hands of another group of generals, the situation will be even more different.

Guo Shao spoke directly: Two things, first, according to the military order of the Privy Council, the vanguard of the left and right wings of the Hujie Army attacked Haozhou; later, please ask the generals of the left wings to confirm the order of dispatching troops with me.The departure was launched three days later, and Luo Yanhuan led his troops to dispatch one day in advance, and many scouts were released along the way.

The second thing is that the general who has made great contributions in Shouzhou will discuss it and ask Zuo You to submit a note and submit it to the Guards Department for approval.

At this time, the generals congratulated Guo Shaojianjie and promoted the commander of the Infantry Division of the Guards, and the atmosphere in the main hall gradually became noisy.

Guo Shao didn't care and just asked during the noisy: Who knows Zhao Chao, the commander of the Right Xiang Du?

A general said: The last general has done it under his command.Zhao Duzhi...is very good at taking action.A few months ago, Huainan Capital deployed Li Chongjin to defeat the Southern Tang Army of Zhengyang, captured 3,000 people, and handed them over to Zhao Chao for custody.Unexpectedly, he massacred all three thousand unarmed people overnight, and the bodies were terrible.

Guo Shao was stunned and thought to himself: Last time in Jinyang, Shi Yanchao killed a few soldiers and a few women, which was nothing wrong; for some reason, Shi Yanchao became famous for bloodthirsty, but Zhao Chao did not.

At this moment, a young general came to report and a letter was sent.Guo Shao pulled open and passed it to his generals.

After seeing this, Li Chuyun frowned and said: Zhao Chao's army lacked food, so he wanted to eat in Shouzhou City... The last general believed that he could not enter the city, and he could transport some grain storage from Shouzhou to him first.

Guo Shao thought he was kind and immediately ordered: Send someone to meet Zhao Chao and order him to start the military rations in five days. I will help him solve the problem of military rations.Strictly order Zhao Chao not to kill the soldiers and civilians in Huainan indiscriminately, otherwise he will never let go!

A general said again: There is one more thing to say at the end.Zhao Chao and Zhao Hongyin are family friends and family members. They are said to have a good relationship...

Guo Shao is not familiar with Zhao Chao, but he is well-known to Zhao Hongyin.

The impression of Zhao Chao only stayed on the eve of the Battle of Gaoping. Zhao Chao was a general in the Crane Army at that time. On the way to the emperor's personal expedition, he advised him not to fight easily. As a result, he was locked in a city on the road. He was released when the Zhou army returned to the court... Guo Shao believed that this person was not good at seizing opportunities.

What a great opportunity for the Battle of Gaoping. A small man named Ma in the inner hall was promoted; Zhao Kuangyin and others were even riding on the clouds and climbing to the sky in one step.

Even the lower-level generals like Guo Shao who were wandering between the ten generals and Dutou fought to get up.

Zhao Chao was the one who could speak in front of the emperor before the Battle of Gaoping. He has become a subordinate of Guo Shao and others.

And the reason why Zhao Hongyin is well-known... He is Zhao Kuangyin's biological father!But now Zhao Hongyin's son is even more promising.

Guo Shao had no good feelings for Zhao Chao, the right-wing chief of the Hujie Army, but he had no choice but to make a grudge with him for the time being.

……

Report to Li Chongjin's list of meritorious promotions. Guo Shao had long expected that this guy would not be so cheap.

As expected, three days later, the army was about to set off, and Li Chongjin sent more than 20 generals!

The leader held the appointment letter of the Guards Department and said: Come to serve on the order of the Guards Sima Infantry Department.

Guo Shao said angrily: What about the appointment letter of the meritorious soldiers of the Hujie Army?

The person who came to the post: The appointment of military chiefs and deputy generals needs to be submitted to the Privy Council for review before the Guards can decide.The commander-level commander-in-chief, Li Dashui, believed that Guo Du was nepotist and exaggerated his military achievements, and could not be promoted.

Then what military achievements do you have?Guo Shao was furious in front of dozens of left-wing generals.

All the generals were angry when they saw this.

The visitor was about to say that they had all made military achievements, but Guo Shao suddenly snatched the appointment from the man and made a gesture to tear it down!

The noisy main hall suddenly became quiet. This scene was simply weird!

Everyone looked at the piece of paper in Guo Shao's hand... No, it was not just a piece of paper, first of all, Li Chongjin's face, and then the prestige of the Guards!

Guo Shao took a deep breath, gently let go of one hand, and coldly handed it back to the general, saying: The official family has a golden word and a jade word, and the general's vanguard army directly obeyed the official family!Now that the army is on the expedition, the temporary replacement of the generals is not conducive to the stability of the army; please return it to the commander of the guards, Mass and Buss Commander Li!I will not be able to accept the order.

The visitor was stunned and said while retreating: Marshal Guo actually disobeyed the appointment of the upper peak in public, so let's take the leave first.

At this time, the generals came to their senses from the surprise just now and said in a lingering manner: Li Du is too bullying!This is the first time I heard about the Great Zhou army that has made military achievements!

Some people also advised: Li Du was in charge of the Guards. Now that the army is outside, it’s okay for the emperor to personally fight.When there is no war, the various military forces in the Guard Division must pass through the commander of the Horse and Craftsmen. If we can bear it, we should just bear it.

Guo Shao said with a straight face: I have said that I know who is honest with me and will never treat the soldiers unfairly.Li Chongjin interfered, I still have a way to report it to the Privy Council directly!

Guo Shao said bluntly: Privy Councilor Wei Renpu and Deputy Inspector Wang Pu have friendships with me, and this matter will definitely be handled impartially.Zuo You, you can copy another memorial to ask for merit.

He said again: The army set out on schedule, don’t worry about other things, just work hard to fight.The court has only justice!

Guo Shao turned around and walked out of the main hall, thinking of Fu Ermei, the girl who was said to be about the same appearance as the queen, was already twenty-three years old and couldn't wait.I thought to myself: This battle can only be successful, not failed!
