Chapter 686 Festive

When the emperor of Southern Han met, he saw his face pale and his steps were floating, and he looked like he was hollowed out by the wine.

This guy has a tough temper and is unsupportive before he takes action.

But Guo Shao still discussed with the ministers in advance and did not kill him, but also appointed him as Duke of Chu... The Lord of Wu and Yue had not surrendered yet, and he was seen how the Zhou court treated people.

After meeting the king of Southern Han, he also told him that his national teacher Fan Huzi met.

In front of everyone, a woman with a bun and wearing a Taoist robe walked into the hall. Her back was embroidered with a very exaggerated gossip picture, and her mouth was actually a beard. Even so, she looked like a woman.

Such strange people looked very unique when they walked to the royal banquet. People looked at her side and looked at her curiously.

It is said that the surrender of the Southern Han Kingdom, and this woman who pretended to be a ghost played a great role.Cao Bin also kept his word and really brought her to meet the saint... So Guo Shao met this woman.

But soon Guo Shao understood that Fan Huzi had to face the saint. Her face was not the point, the key was that there was someone around her, a very beautiful woman.

If you want to compare your second sister and Zhou Xian with him, you can't tell the difference, but Zhou Xian and others definitely don't have the charm of this woman.

The woman was wearing a white gold-edged dress, half of her upper body was translucent gauze, her figure was graceful and her belt was fluttering, and her walking was light and elegant and unique... Her skin was delicate and fair like snow. Generally, women could not accept the color when wearing such plain white clothes, but this woman became whiter and cleaner.

Her hair was bright and bright, her eyes were white, and her big eyes were not smiling, but she was full of brilliance. She was very brave and did not stick to etiquette. She came up and watched Guo Shao watch the autumn waves.

The seductive look was hard to describe, and it hints a strong feeling at first glance. There was a little resentment in her eyes, and it was very vivid. In addition, her subtle movement of biting her lip, it seemed as if she was moved at once, but her figure was graceful and elegant, and there was no place for anyone to grasp the handle.

This girl didn't smile, but she looked like a woman who was relaxed.Guo Shao sat there holding his breath.

The two of them bowed their knees and held salutes.The woman in white said in a sweet voice: The criminal is Lu Qiongxian, the minister of the Southern Han Dynasty (Prime Minister), and now he has become a minister of the destruction of the country. If His Majesty treats him, he can only follow him...

The voice was pity and a coquettish tone, which was really fascinating... It was easy to ask Guo Shao to contact Ren Jun Picking.

Even Fu Ermei couldn't stand it anymore. She turned her head and frowned at Guo Shao and said: I don't like this woman, she has evil spirits!

Guo Shao said: Let’s not be too concerned about the people brought back by Cao Bin.

At this time, Wang Zhong, who was standing beside him, understood Guo Shao's expression. Guo Shao saw Wang Zhong's appearance of understanding the holy intention, and felt a little stimulation and expectation in his heart for a moment.

Guo Shao said calmly: You guys take your seat.

Thank you Your Majesty.The two women retired.

Guo Shao's eyes were deliberately or unintentionally observing Lu Qiongxian's figure.

The days of success and joy make people relax. One advantage of the charming Lu Qiongxian is that she is more relaxed... Otherwise, in front of her former master Liu Jixing, how could she throw her eyebrows at Guo Shao so without any pressure?

At this moment, Wang Zhong slammed his high-high lightly, and the musician immediately started playing the song. A group of dancers went to the hall one after another. Zhou Xian, dressed in dance clothes, finally came out. She was only wearing white socks, with light steps, and equally beautiful and charming.

Zhou Xian walked to the wooden platform with a slightly shy expression and said softly: On this festival, I presented a song "Feather Clothes and Blossom Dance" for His Majesty and Empress, and I laughed at it.After saying that, Kuankui made a blessing.

Guo Shao Haha, he smiled, reached out and made a call, then turned to Fu Ermei and said: Zhou Ehuang's dance is very good.

Fu Ermei also smiled enthusiastically and watched. She seemed to have no prejudice against Zhou Xian, but Zhou Xian was decent and dignified, but not so frivolous.

The sound of the piano was rising and falling, and the dancer on the wooden platform kept his steps, dragging his long skirt and walking in a circle, and Zhou Xian also gently integrated into the crowd.

The circle became smaller and smaller. With a melodious sound of flute, the women suddenly leaned back, their waists were very flexible. Zhou Xian stood up from the middle, stretched his long sleeves to both sides, and the satin flew into the air like a cloud, which immediately impacted people's vision.

Guo Shao found that today's Nichang dance has new changes from what I watched last time.

The dancers on the stage danced intertwined, and Zhou Xian’s dance was different from everyone’s. After listening carefully, there was a crisp sound of metal beating beneath the drums of the musicians, and the two rhythms were integrated.

Zhou Xian's body jumped into the air lightly, and everyone was upset.Even Guo Shao wondered whether she could do light skills?

When I look closely, it is not her ability to fly, but her visual illusion caused by dancing. Because the dancers around her danced very quickly, she jumped into the air relatively slowly, and her figure was very stable, and her long sleeves floated up, as if she was flying lightly!

His Highness and his ministers and their wives cheered.

Guo Shao is also getting better, haha, laughing.

The red lanterns in the hall were dazzling and dazzling, and the beautiful women's dance was dazzling, and Guo Shao was dazzling.

It is also very pleasant to be so happy and indulgent.

After the song, Zhou Xian took off and changed into clothes, and also went to the guests' seat to attend the banquet generously.

The palace maids served wine and food one after another, and the singing and dancing on the stage continued, and the cups and plates in the hall were intertwined.

After the rise, General Yang Biao and Zuo You went on stage to perform military dramas on the spot.

The two of them were quite famous in the court. Everyone knew each other. When they saw acquaintances making jokes on them, they were even more involved. The hall burst into laughter.

Guo Shao saw Yang Biao's silly look on his face, and he didn't care about his appearance, and he smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth. Even Fu Ermei used her sleeves to cover her red lips and curved eyes, and her shoulders were shaking.

When everyone was very devoted to their fun, only Jing Niang noticed a eunuch walking towards her. She also smiled, but her eyes looked at the eunuch who was walking quickly with her head buried.

The eunuch quietly walked to the steps and looked at Jingniang.

Jingniang made a gesture slightly, and the eunuch walked up to Guo Shao, bowed and whispered: Hebei urgently reported that the Khitans invaded last night, took advantage of the festival of Yizhou to relax, and opened the city gate and captured Yizhou...

Guo Shao's smile suddenly froze on his face and suddenly became very ugly.

It was so sudden, just like a pot of cold water suddenly poured on the hot charcoal fire!

The joyful laughter immediately became harsh, and the crowd shaking in front of him seemed so stiff, and he was suddenly drained of his soul.Guo Shao felt a little dazed.

Fu Ermei said in her voice: Husband, what's wrong? What happened?

After the chill, a stream of anger gradually rose.Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion. The Khitans actually attacked the border at such a time. If you remember correctly, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a festival that the Khitans want to celebrate!

Guo Shao took a long breath, and did not want to get angry in front of everyone, so he stood up and said to Fu Ermei: I'll come when I go.

Yang Biao and Zuo You, who were performing military dramas, also found that Guo Shao had left the seat and the performance was paused.Everyone stopped smiling and looked over inexplicably.

Guo Shao left the hall and retreated to a study room in the back hall. Soon after, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and several generals also followed.

Guo Shao took the urgent report from the eunuch and read it out.

It describes the scene of the Khitans rushing into the city to burn, kill and robbery on the eve of the festival, and it is written in detail.

Guo Shao became more and more annoyed the more he looked at him. He couldn't get over it. Suddenly, he slapped the table with a slam. Unexpectedly, the wood was not very strong and the table immediately collapsed!

The inkstone above fell to the ground and made a loud bang.

The person in the study was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: Your Majesty, please calm down.The Dragon Body...

Wang Pu raised his head and looked at the eunuch Wang Zhong calmly.Wang Zhong bent down and picked up the report on the ground and sent it to Wang Pu's hands. Several people passed it on.

Guo Shao said: Let’s get up, I will not take my anger on you.It’s really the Khitans that are too much. This clan is like a beast, and there is no human nature at all!

When everyone saw Guo Shao's angry face turned red, they didn't dare to speak.

Only Wang Pu advised: It has been a thousand years since ancient times that the northern border has plundered the border, and this matter is inevitable.It is autumn now, and the horses in the north are strong and fat. Sun Xingyou, the governor of Yizhou, neglected the autumn defense, resulting in the city being destroyed, and he will definitely be punished.

Guo Shao frowned and said: In the past, the Khitan attacked the border, but he only robbed the countryside, and there was few Champa. Now he went straight to Yizhou City. What was he going to do?

Wei Renpu pondered: The old minister thought that the Liao army was also robbed and harassing this time, so it was unlikely that they would march into Henan. In the past, the Khitans were unwilling to defend the city, and the entire northern Hebei only guarded Youzhou.Once our army heads north, the Liao army should retreat.

Generals such as Wang Pu and Li Chuyun said one after another: I will discuss it with you.

Li Chuyun sighed: The autumn harvest just now, Yizhou's granary is abundant, and now it's a bargaining price for the Liao army.The people in Hebei have just passed the autumn harvest and were robbed of food. They may be famine next year...

Guo Shao was so angry that he walked around the place, pondered for a long time, and said with a blue face: I want to lead the imperial army in person, and recently he will lead the imperial guards north to expel the Khitans!

Wang Pu advised: Your Majesty, please think twice. The situation of Liao Kingdom at this time is not as strong as going south and going deeper, which must be an attack.By the time the imperial guards headed north, the Liao army had already fled far away, and the reduced losses in various parts of Hebei were not enough to spend the imperial guards once mobilized.

Guo Shao had originally wanted to fight the Northern Expedition, but he didn't expect that the Liao people would start first.

He immediately said: According to the strategy discussed by the court in the past, fighting against the Liao Kingdom cannot be done well, and he can only spend a long time on the fight.Since the Liao people have started the battle today, we don’t have to give in!You and others have recently discussed the strategy of the Northern Expedition and share my worries.

The ministers looked at each other and said nothing more.

The next morning, Fan Zhi took the lead in writing to oppose the Northern Expedition.

The reason is that the war with Liao Kingdom was over and over and the people were exhausted. The war with Liao Kingdom had just been launched at the beginning of this year, and two major wars could not be held in a row in a year.

This time is different from the last one. There are many people who questioned the success of the Northern Expedition, but some people are unwilling to submit the report.
