Chapter 699 Fur Coat

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The clouds in the sky were pressed very low, so low that people were worried that they would fall on the roof of the loft in Bazhou City.

The little snowflakes in the sky were blown by the wind, like willow catkins in late spring, and like paper money for funerals, adding a little sadness.The house is very busy.

There were several ministers and a group of officials sitting in the main hall of the front yard of the palace, and there were also many military officials in the wing rooms on both sides.

People were very busy. The grain, military preparations, fortifications, intelligence, etc. of more than 200,000 troops had to be reported here to deal with. The front camp military office was also responsible for issuing military orders and other matters, and there were a lot of things.

There seems to be only one idle person here, that is, Guo Shao.

From time to time, he listened to Zuo You and others reporting important news in the main hall, and then sat there for a while; from time to time, he got up and went back to the signing room to look at the pictures.

Anyway, he doesn't have to do the specific things, and he has done almost nothing all day.

Occasionally, I went to the courtyard behind the Second Hall again, and there was nothing to go. I could only walk back and forth in a long corridor. It was snowing outside, and he didn't expect to go to the snow.

I always feel a little restless.

At this time, Wei Renpu came in. Guo Shao turned around and saw him, so he stopped and waited in the corridor.

Wang Pu did not come this time and stayed in Tokyo. The person who presided over all the branches of the former camp military administration was Wei Renpu.

Wei Renpu worked very hard and worked very hard to get up early and go to bed late. After all, Wang Pu has been so favored in recent years. The emperor would ask Wang Pu to make a decision no matter what major matters.

Wei Renpu stepped forward to greet him and immediately said: Your Majesty, the news reported from the military commanders and the frontline scouts one after another. I feel that it is certain that the main force of the Liao army is in the north of Sanggan River and Jinzhou, and almost all the troops are there.

Guo Shao's mind suddenly saw a grand scene of the camp on the snow field not ending, and he seemed to hear the heavy and dull sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow.

He said in a deep voice: Has Jinzhou been attacked?

Wei Renpudao: Not attacked yet.

Guo Shao raised his head and looked at the snowflakes floating in the air, was silent for a while, and raised his hand and said: Send Zan Jurun to inspect in Jinzhou, and the letter he reported was sent directly to my entrustment room.

Wei Renpu said: Follow the order.

Wei Renpu couldn't help but say again: Will the Liao army lead the main attack on Jinzhou?The rivers flowing through this place connect to the south of Youzhou City and are more important.

Guo Shao continued to look at the snow in the sky: This kind of weather is not suitable for a war of 100,000 people...

Yes, winter is so cold.Wei Renpu echoed.

Guo Shao frowned again and said: Will the Liao army really attack Jinzhou?

In this quieter place, he tried his best to capture some intuition.

The military staff team has enough inference strategies. Guo Shao doesn't need this now, he needs something indescribable like inspiration.

Without reliable and detailed information, some mysterious intuition and smell are often needed to make judgments.

The whole game looks complicated, but he cannot be rushing. Guo Shao is pursuing a sense of tension and rhythmic understanding with the Liao army... Because in this case, Guo Shao does not have the initiative to set rules, and the initiative is in the hands of the Liao army; but he cannot set up a dead chess and let the Liao army calmly break the situation.

Guo Shao's mind was very confused, and he even thought of many gears rotating.They are biting, matching, and moving.

Therefore, we must keep up with the rhythm and in turn restrict the power of the Liao army through bite force.We must never be led by the Liao army!

...A few days later, Xue Qing.

Guo Shao entered the signing room early in the morning and saw a group of ministers and generals waiting there. There were several memorials on the table. The former camp military mansion and Zan Jurun both urgently reported that the news of the large Liao army being besieged by the Liao army in Tianjin.

The officials were talking a lot. When they saw Guo Shao, they saluted first, and then spoke again, the atmosphere was a little anxious.Some people are discussing how many people and which team to send to reinforce.

Guo Shao carefully read Zan Jurun’s report, and then turned to look at Wei Renpu: Are you sure that no fortress has been captured and destroyed?

Wei Renpu Road: No fortress of the township army has been captured yet.

Guo Shao said: Although the large and small castles in Jinzhou are strictly guarded, if the Liao army is determined to attack, it is still easy to break. After all, the soldiers of the township army are really lacking in melee combat.

After hearing this, the generals immediately agreed: Your Majesty’s words are reasonable, and it is inevitable to fight to defend the city, let alone the fortress of the township army was not well built.

Guo Shao said again: In this memorial, no one mentioned that the Liao army used large-scale equipment such as catapults and ladders; since the Liao army attacked fortifications, they didn’t even use equipment for siege?

Wei Renpu pondered: Is the battlefield chosen by the Liao army not in Jinzhou?A strategy to attack the east and attack the west?

Li Chuyun said: Where will the Liao army attack?Zhuozhou?The reinforcements to Zhuozhou are indeed the farthest, but the role of Zhuozhou... seems to be indebted to the Liao army.

Someone else talked about: We have a line of defense, but we also have weaknesses.The troops are too scattered, and it is difficult to gather troops in the decisive battle!It's okay. All four cities have heavy troops to protect. Even if dozens of fortresses outside the city are pulled out, it would be difficult for the Liao army to capture the city in a short time!

Shi Yanchao looked back at others and hummed: Who is the one who leads the cavalry, who is the one who fights you face to face!I also picked up weak places to attack.

Guo Shao's eyes swept across Shi Yanchao's face and stayed on Dong Zunhui's face.Dong Zunhui raised his head...but Guo Shao said nothing to him.

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Zhong walked in from outside the door and saw so many people in the room.He bent down and walked to Guo Shao silently.

Guo Shao turned to see Wang Zhong holding a fur coat on his arm.

Wang Zhong whispered: It has been getting colder these days. When I heard that Hebei has good skin, I asked someone to sew a fur coat according to His Majesty's figure.

Hey, it looks good.Guo Shao said.

After hearing this, Wang Zhong was happy and walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, please do you want to fit the big or small?

Guo Shao stretched out his arm and asked Wang Zhong to put it on him. He reached out and touched the hair on the collar and said: This hair is quite soft and does not sting at all.

Guo Shao asked: What kind of shame?

Wang Zhongdao: Fox skin, and sheep skin.

Guo Shao nodded and looked back at the ministers: You are all very attentive, and I am very pleased.Don’t worry, we have all arranged it in advance. I see that you all work hard and feel at ease.Just keep calm, but being too panic will easily make mistakes.

Everyone bowed: Your Majesty is wise.

People who can stand here are familiar with Guo Shao.

They fully understand Guo Shao's past record and ability. Last time, they shot the people of Dangxiang in Xiazhou with one arrow, but the matter was the most appropriate.

Seeing that Guo Shao was nothing, everyone relaxed and calmed down.

Guo Shao stood up and said: Everyone will be dismissed from their duties.Jinzhou is fine for the time being. Don’t be scared by the Liao army’s tens of thousands of people. We have 300,000 people but don’t say anything. Are you scared to conquer the country by mountains of corpses and blood?

Suddenly, Shi Yanchao burst out laughing. Seeing the people around him looking at him seriously, he stopped his smile and stood there with his face pulled.

Everyone held their politeness and said: I respectfully send you to Your Majesty.

Guo Shao walked out of the signing room, walked silently to the corridor, and slowly paced forward.

Guo Shao has never seen Liao Emperor Yelu Jing, Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xiuge and others, but from the previous fights, he gradually understood the other party's thoughts; perhaps after this time, Guo Shao will understand them better.

There is a saying that is right, the enemy who knows you best is; of course, the purpose of understanding is to make him die!If you only fall into hatred and don’t treat your enemies calmly and with your heart, it may be easier to bring shame to yourself.

...The weather has been clear for several days, and news from Jinzhou has been constantly reported.Guo Shao still did not make any arrangements on the front line. As long as the Bazhou Central Committee did not issue military orders, all the troops would implement the military orders in place according to the military office's prior military orders.

At this moment, the Liao army in Jinzhou suddenly reported to go west!His large number of players were moving not far away, and the news about Zhou Jun was very timely.

The civil and military officials of the Bazhou Palace breathed a sigh of relief and discussed it.

Fortunately, Your Majesty is calm, otherwise when we gather our main force in Jinzhou, we will be mobilized to Zhuozhou again?

That's not good. Being led by the nose will affect morale.Dong Zunhui said, the soldiers below the public know good words, but they complain a lot, and they will complain about the people above.

While listening to everyone's discussion, Wei Renpu thought to himself: The holy heart is hard to predict.

But he said calmly: Your Majesty's fur is very suitable.

Everyone also echoed a few words. Zhuozhou is now threatened again, but everyone seems to be not as worried and worried as before.

Yang Biao said: Go in and meet the official family.

Guo Shao met with the ministers in the signing room to discuss matters. Some people thought that the Liao army would bluff once, and there might be a second time.

Prime Minister Li Gu was also here today, but said: So many people from the Liao army ran around and had to spend their energy on food and grass. This time, they might really attack Zhuozhou.

Guo Shao did not make any statement, and he himself was not sure what the Liao people should do.

As long as the Liao people did not launch a substantial attack, Guo Shao would not panic. Anyway, he would have to eat food in the snow and ice to see who could consume whom.

If the fight really starts, how can the Liao army fight?Guo Shao thought in his mind that he could take a look at the pulse first, and then he could find the opportunity to enter the competition between the two sides.

Guo Shao took a ruler to measure it on the map and said: The main force of the cavalry will go to Gu'an County first.

Everyone immediately held their breath and Shi Yanchao took a step forward.

Guo Shao looked at him slightly: Shi Yanchao is the main vanguard of the cavalry...

Shi Yanchao was overjoyed and said loudly: I’m sure you’ll get the order!

Guo Shao looked back at the surroundings and said to Li Chuyun: Li Du’s inspection must be the commander, to control the main force of the imperial guards’ elite cavalry, and to act according to the military orders of the military government, and to take advantage of the opportunity.

Li Chuyun said: I will obey the order and will definitely live up to your majesty’s heavy responsibilities!

After a few times, Li Chuyun was not only radical in fighting the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also was very conservative and cautious in the Liao army's combat, so Guo Shao was relieved.

Guo Shao looked at Dong Zunhui and said: General Dong and the Hu Ben’s right horse army stayed in Bazhou for escorts.

Dong Zunhui didn't say much, and clasped his fists very obediently and said: "I will obey the order."Until now, even the central ministers don’t know what Dong Zunhui is going to do.

At this time, Guo Shao had a faint intuition that the war might be really approaching.
