The wood-carved hollow windows look a bit old in ancient times, but they are extremely oriental and elegant.The brush calligraphy and ink painting on the wall are unique decorations.
But there are two knives, forks and spoons on the table, and the forks are made of sandalwood.
Guo Shao said: I looked at ancient books and saw that when the Zhou emperor (Western Zhou) used these tableware to eat meat, he asked people to imitate two sets.
Dong Zunhui looked excited and replied seriously: Your Majesty has great martial arts skills, so he reads scriptures. These food utensils are a great eye-opener!
After waiting for a long time, two male servants in the civil servants came up with two pots of hot fried mutton, with brown soup poured on them.
Then Wang Zhong carefully placed two glasses and poured the purple-red wine into the cup.
Guo Shao picked up the knife and fork, pressed the mutton on the plate with a wooden fork in his left hand, and skillfully sawed off a piece with his right hand.A piece of meat was inserted into the fork and dipped it in the soup, then put it in your mouth and chew it.
It can be seen from the sawed section that the mutton is dark red, and it has the illusion that it is not fresh. It is because it is shot to death with a bow and arrow and there is no blood lingering, and blood is stuck in the meat.
When chewing in your mouth, you also feel soft and lacking the texture of the flesh fiber.
But what I want is this kind of taste, reminding people of how this sheep died and where it came from!
There is pepper in the soup, which avoids the fishy smell and does not feel the bloody pleasure of revenge!Guo Shao said, then cut another piece and put it straight in his mouth, chewing it while closing his eyes intoxicatedly.
The quiet house exudes the atmosphere of elegant book, but Guo Shao seems to see a crazy iron horse, the blade of blood splattering, and the deafening fighting screams.
Guo Shao exhaled, opened his eyes, and saw that Dong Zunhui also began to use the knife and fork according to his plan.
Dong Zunhui was excited and devoted.
No matter what strange things Guo Shao does, the people who accompany him will be flattered and will truly devote themselves to it, making Guo Shao feel very comfortable... This is probably one of the benefits of being an emperor.
Dong Zunhui also studied very seriously. He was originally a child of a noble family. His sitting posture was very decent and his archery hands were very stable. He could learn in a very good manner.
Guo Shao picked up the wine glass, and Dong Zunhui hurriedly raised the glass with both hands. I thank Your Majesty for giving the banquet, so I will respect you first.After saying that, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Guo Shao smiled, and it was obvious that Dong Zunhui was still a little nervous.He looked slightly sideways, and Wang Zhong stepped forward and poured wine for Dong Zunhui again.
However, Guo Shao was not in a hurry. He took a sip and tasted the mellow sweet taste, which was exactly the opposite of the salty taste of mutton.This wine reminds people of the tenderness and beauty of women.
At this time, Dong Zunhui and Guo Shao talked about giving prey to the villagers, and the two had a great time.
Guo Shao was savoring various flavors carefully. The peaceful state of mind after relaxation is a breath of relief after a long period of tension.
After lunch, Guo Shao took out a piece of origami from his sleeve bag and handed it to Dong Zunhui, saying lightly: I have approved the appointment letter of the Privy Council.The Tiger Ben Army has 20,000 infantry and cavalry on the right wing, and will be led by General Dong in the future.
Dong Zunhui hurriedly knelt on one knee, took it with both hands, and said: I will definitely live up to the important tasks that Your Majesty has entrusted!
When Dong Zunhui saw Guo Shao nodding and stopped talking.He immediately stood up and held his fists and said with gratitude. He took a few steps, then turned around and walked out of the door. At the door, he couldn't help but look back.
Seeing the sunshine coming from the carved window, the emperor, who was sitting on the chair, looked at himself with a gentle smile on his face.
The bright and majestic person, with his eyes as like a spring breeze, made Dong Zunhui's heart bright, as if he had seen a glorious future!
……
In the southern courtyard of Youzhou, Xiao Siwen was silent and complained.He believed that Yelu Xiuge was not good at guarding Youzhou, and blamed him for arousing the anger of the Zhou Kingdom and causing trouble.
The Yellow River and the Yangtze River have a fertile field of thousands of miles north and south, and the southern population is 100 million.Now Zhou is in a state of strong power, and it is inappropriate for the Liao Dynasty to delay the situation if it does not avoid the edge and delay the situation...
Yelu Xiu Ge said dissatisfied: Is Guo Blacksmith a good master?
Xiao Siwen said: Guo’s blacksmith started from the slightest moment, and he also saw the way to advance and retreat and the way to use troops today.In a few years, he fought south and north, destroyed several countries in succession, and suppressed rebellions with many thunder. He was a brave man. With his humble body, he quickly promoted to a high position and won the stronger generals Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde and others, who were able to gather the chaotic forces of the Zhou State and conquered the people and consolidate the civil and military forces into a group, which shows that he also had some mental means to govern the country.
Xiao Siwen paused and said in a tone: Regardless of whether Guo Blacksmith is a strong man, I think that the rise and fall of the Great Liao Dynasty will be the most important person!
After hearing this, Yelu Xiuge became angry and embarrassed, and repeatedly asked for a fight in front of Khan.
He did not make any contribution in this battle, and led his troops to attack Jin and Zhuo, as if his fists were hit on the wall; he also went to encircle the Zhou army's light cavalry that raided the rear, but pounced on the air.
Yelu Xiu Ge was very angry at Xiao Siwen's words, but only by speaking with his achievements can he be tough!
Unexpectedly, no ministers supported him!
Yelu Xiu Ge looked back and everyone avoided their eyes.
Brother Yelu Xiu was so angry that he suddenly sneered on his face, and said to himself: When I won, you all applauded by slaughtering Yizhou. Now if you lose a little, you will turn your back on your face!
At this time, a minister advised: The Zhou State held the defense lines of Zhuo, Gu (An), Xin and Tianjin, and it was difficult for the Liao Dynasty to break through.It is better to retreat back to the grassland for the time being.The people of Zhou may build new cities in Wenyu River, Sanggan River and other places. When they are divided into their troops, we will find opportunities to defeat them one by one.
Finally found a good excuse!What a temptation to lure the enemy into division and defeat them one by one!Yelu Xiuge sneered that he was the person who was the least willing to give up.
The minister's face was a little stiff: Otherwise, if there are more than 100,000 people and hundreds of thousands of horses stationed in Youzhou, what are the benefits of consuming the products of the Daliao nationwide?It can only be so stalemate, and it has no effect.
Yelu Xiu Ge said: Don’t be short-sighted, many of you enjoy the products of Youzhou every year.What are you talking about?Youzhou City is on the bank of Sanggan River. Once the Zhou people build a city on the river bank north of Jinzhou, they can directly attack Youzhou. Now under the threat of our army, will Zhou dare to come up to build a city?
Yelu Xiu Ge turned his head and looked at Xiao Siwen coldly. I remember Deputy Envoy Xiao also said that Youzhou was crucial to the Liao Dynasty.
Xiao Siwen couldn't speak.
...The Liao army stayed in Youzhou for winter and failed to launch a large-scale attack effectively.The people of Zhou also defended the southern defense line and were calm without any movement.On the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops, it was like a pool of stagnant water!
After the Lantern Festival, the army of Zhou and Liao countries celebrated the Lantern Festival on the battlefield in Hebei, the Liao army finally withdrew its main cavalry from Youzhou and quickly headed north.
Most of its infantry and supplies remained in Youzhou. When the Zhou army heard the news, they could not do anything to the left Liao army.
Guo Shao immediately summoned the ministers and generals to discuss the affairs in Bazhou.
He first met Prime Minister Li Gu alone, asking Li Gu to go south to dispatch materials in the near future, and first transported by land to supplement grain storage in various cities; once the ice in the river melted, it would transport grain and grass and building materials northward.
When we reached the lobby, a large picture had been hung on the wooden frame on the upper side.
After everyone was polite, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, walked to the wooden frame and pointed to the simple lines on the picture: a Ya-shaped figure that was almost tilted to the left.
This is the Sanggan River, and to the east is the Wenyu River.Wei Renpu said straight to the point and took a brush to draw a circle in the middle of the character "Ya" and the branch on the left. Youzhou City is roughly here, and the south of the city is by the Sanggan River. The moat water also draws the water of this river.
Everyone looked at it attentively, and the picture was easy to understand.Guo Shao waited without hesitation for Wei Renpu to explain the strategy of the former camp military mansion.
Wei Renpu was free and pointed at the word "ya" with his finger. When the river freezes in spring, he built three cities here!The three cities are arranged between the two rivers, with the west being the "Yingcheng", the middle being the "Xuanren City", and the east being the "Acropolis".
Just wait for the three cities to be built, the Hebei battlefield will form two balanced defense lines between the river network, including the five cities of Zhuo, Gu (An), Yi, Xuan and Wei, and the five cities of Yi, Xiong, Ba, Xin and Tianjin in the south.
The northern line uses "Xuanren City" as the base camp for attacking Youzhou (located in the middle of the Ya-shaped river). The army set off from Xuanren City, advanced west along the north bank of the Sanggan River, and arrived at the foot of Youzhou City, and traveled smoothly.
The rest of the four cities are to protect the two roads and two wings of the northern line.
The five cities on the southern line defend the rivers and water transportation and form a depth of offense and defense.It allows the army to attack and retreat to defend, and there is a lot of room for maneuver.
Guo Shao looked back and no one said anything.
Generals such as Li Chuyun knew that this was done by Guo Shao and would not object easily. However, if they did this method, it would be difficult to estimate the amount of money... Guo Shao was the emperor, and he could give out the money, so the generals had no objection at all.
Wei Renpu waited for a while and then said: Since that's the case... the elite imperial cavalry stationed on the north side of the site of "Xuanren City", and established a floating bridge passage on the Sanggan River and Wenyu River, and set up infantry camps to defend.
Before the Liao army heads south, speed up the construction of the city.Still following the methods of the two cities of Xin and Tianjin, first build military fortifications and peripheral fortresses, which can be completed within one month; first gain a foothold, and then build a city wall.
Zhucheng Fort was demolished on the southern line, and the main force of the township army moved north to the northern line to build fort to defend.
Before the main force of the Liao army advanced south, all the infantry and township troops retreated to the southern line to rest, and the main force of the cavalry was stationed on the northern line.
After Wei Renpu said that, he bowed to the superiors, and Guo Shao nodded and said: The arrangements made by Deputy Envoy Wei are very appropriate. Do you guys understand?
Everyone bowed and said, "I will obey Your Majesty's will."
Seeing this, Guo Shao stood up and left the seat. He maintained his refreshing style when he was a general and left after saying that. Unless there was a controversy, it would be meaningless to take too long.
The people immediately bowed and shouted: I wish to see you.
Guo Shao retreated to the signing room and received a memorial from Tokyo, mentioning that the great cannibal envoy from the Southern Han Kingdom came to Tokyo to worship.
Guo Shao immediately remembered the excellent sailing boat of the cannibal, and immediately wrote a letter to send it back to Tokyo without hesitation.
If you have a good sailing boat, you may have more strategic choices!
That great cannibal can also sail to East Asia from as far away as Arabia; then, wouldn’t it be very easy for the same sailboat to sail near the Bohai Sea?
But there are two knives, forks and spoons on the table, and the forks are made of sandalwood.
Guo Shao said: I looked at ancient books and saw that when the Zhou emperor (Western Zhou) used these tableware to eat meat, he asked people to imitate two sets.
