Zuo You reported his errands in front of Guo Shao.Guo Shao finished listening very carefully and praised him: Mr. Zuo did a good job.Then he immediately said: Zhou Xingfeng surrendered.
There were also Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi, and Jing Niang in the hall, and everyone showed unexpected expressions.
Zhou Xingfeng was the governor of Wuping, who seized part of the territory of the former Chu State (Hunan).
Seeing the reactions of several people, Guo Shao said: I only learned about this morning, and I didn’t expect it to be so soon.The Southern Tang Kingdom transferred Lin Renzhao away. After Li Chuyun surrounded Langzhou, he sent people to understand the benefits of isolating and helplessness. He did not expect that Zhou Xingfeng would surrender.
Yang Biao hummed: Li Chuyun has real skills, and Shi Yanchao has nothing to say this time.
Zuo You said: If the upper reaches of the river are pacified, will the court start war against the Southern Tang Kingdom soon?
I had already discussed this matter roughly in Jinxiang Palace this morning.Guo Shao said, the strategy has not changed much, and it is difficult to have other ways... the strategy of siege of the three routes.The west route followed the river from the upper reaches, the east route ordered the Wu Yue Kingdom to send troops to attack him from both sides, and the main force of the imperial guards on the north route attacked the lower reaches from the north of the Yangtze River.
Yang Biao raised his head and said: The road to the Southern Tang Kingdom is always easier to walk than that of Shu Kingdom.Everyone is just waiting for the promotion.
When Luo Mengzi heard about the money, he touched his head and his face and laughed.
It will take some time to deploy, and General Yang is not anxious.Zuo You said with a smile.
Guo Shao thought that it was already August, and the Southern Tang Dynasty had a large territory. After conquering the Southern Tang Dynasty, it should be at least winter or next spring... It is the time for plum blossoms to bloom.For a while, he said less.
The crowd talked about the war for a long time, and their interest was no longer on mocking Meng Chang.
A long time later, Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi left the mansion, but Zuo You hurriedly refused to leave.
At this time, he said to Jing Niang quietly: I have some private matters and want to say a few words to my lord, Jing Niang...
Without saying a word, Jing Niang turned around and went out.
Guo Shao smiled and said: Even the girl in Jing can't listen to anything?
Zuo You sat down by the coffee table, pondered for a long time, then said: The lord's contribution to destroying Shu Kingdom, and then the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was extremely rewarded but had no title to be granted...
Guo Shao stopped his smile and said calmly: Promotion is meaningless to me.
That's right, even Li Chuyun and Yang Biao and other imperial guards actually don't have much room for promotion.Zuo You said slowly, with a sense of proportion in his tone. He asked a question below, "The lord has no choice but to be promoted, so why do you still have to fight south and north?"
Although Zuo You is an aide, he is too familiar with him. Guo Shao would not tell him what to do for the overall situation of the world and the country is prosperous and strong. He is just a waste of time when he is accustomed to the official accent. He thought for a while: When he reaches a high point, he wants to gain a foothold.
When Guo Shao heard this, he could guess what Zuo You wanted to say, but he still pretended to be confused and listen to how Zuo You wanted to persuade him to enter.
Zuo You nodded: Not only does the lord think so, but everyone thinks so.No one wants to sit in a high position and be driven down after trying it... But who can guarantee our status?Everyone fought hard in front of him, but the Emperor of Great Zhou in the deep palace could not see or understand; the generals could only gain the trust of the lord and find their own foothold in front of the lord.
Zuo You whispered seriously: Many people hope that the lord will go further...
Guo Shao hummed and said he was listening.
He was also thinking about Zuo You's words in his heart.
In fact, there is no need for Zuo You to persuade him to enter. Guo Shao had already had this idea... He has reached this position, and only the legitimate emperor is the safest position.
Otherwise, as a minister, the greater the power, the more dangerous it is.
But there are so many people in the world who want to be emperors, and they can’t just sit on them safely just by wanting to do it.
Before, Guo Shao had self-knowledge, and his military power was enough, and his prestige was almost the same as the recognition of the people of the world; after destroying Shu and Tang, there might be some changes.
Zuo You continued to persuade: Today, the general is only willing to obey the powerful people who can fight well, and is a person like the lord.The lord is better able to conquer people with virtue. Looking at the court, there is no one who can make everyone safer than the lord.
Zuo You's advice was not entirely for Guo Shao. He thought that he also wanted to rely on the merit of supporting the people to be a marquis and ministers to glorify his ancestors. In this world, warriors can fight to make meritorious contributions, and the shortest way for civil servants is to support Conglong.
However, Zuo You is still quite good at speaking. After saying this, Guo Shao was very happy to hear it... and he felt a sense of pleasure of being understood.
Many people question Guo Shao's kindness as a military general, but the accumulation of time proves the benefits of this practice.
Long-term mercifulness and ruthlessness certainly are not conducive to his establishment of authority, but precisely because of this, everyone does not feel the threat; after all, even Shi Yanchao is fine, and they feel that they will not be forced into a dead end.
This kind of thing is like Guo Shao was once threatened by Zhao Kuangyin; if Guo Shao had not believed that he would die without a burial place, as long as he could truly see a safe retreat, it would be difficult for him to take the extreme step of defeating the death... The current civil and military attitude towards Guo Shao should be the opposite; some people may not be willing to betray the Zhou Dynasty, but it can be seen that Guo Shao would not do anything to them even if he was promoted, so it is difficult for someone to fight to the death.
Guo Shao pondered.
Zuo You said again: Being promising to the death means that you feel that the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the best time.In the past two years, the lord has quelled the rebellion in Jinzhou, conquered Shu Kingdom, Wuping and Southern Tang, and won every battle. According to experience, the people of the world will be used to thinking that the winner of the battle must be the lord!Going further at this time, it is what everyone hopes to return...
Not everyone in the world wants me to be at the top, only the people in our circle have such a willingness.Guo Shao said in a deep voice, there must be some people who are extremely reluctant, and some people watch the fire from the other side of the river.We must not be complacent and act rashly.
Although Guo Shao did not agree, he did not refute it.
His attitude towards such serious matters has become very positive... Even the legitimate successor had to refuse three times before he could reluctantly agree, let alone usurp the throne.
Guo Shaoyi made a statement and found that Zuo You's face was red, and his eyes couldn't hide his excitement.
This guy is even more anxious than himself!
Indeed, compared with most people in the world, Zuo You is also a legendary figure. A few years ago, he was still an unknown minor official, and in a blink of an eye he had the opportunity to be a marquis and ministers; this is what many people dream of.
Zuo You clearly showed it very clearly, but he pretended to be calm and calm: What the lord said is very true, so I would like to persuade you in private and do not dare to be abrupt.This matter must be discussed in the long run.
I see.Guo Shao said calmly, I am still loyal to the Great Zhou court and the Empress Dowager. I am not willing to do anything too much until I have no choice.
At this moment, Lu Chengyong walked to the door.The two of them will stop talking for the time being.
Lu Chengyong spoke at the door, then walked in, presented a letter and said: The letter sent by Mrs. Dong (Gao).
Guo Shao took it apart and saw that the letter said that there were very important things and we should meet as soon as possible.
At this time, Zuo You stood up and said: Let’s go back first and then think about it. I will pay my respects to the lord in two days.
Guo Shao reminded: This matter is only at its initial stage, so don’t spread the secrets first.
Don't worry, lord, I understand.Zuo You bowed.
Guo Shao paced back and forth in the living room for a few steps, thinking about Zuo You's words, while caring about Gao's letter, not knowing what was important.
At this time, Jing Niang walked in again, she picked up the teapot and added tea to Guo Shao's cup.
I have to go to Dong Zunhui's house.Guo Shao stopped his mind and said.
Jingniang then asked someone to prepare the carriage and go out with Guo Shao.There are always so many close servants around him, such as Jingniang, Lu Chengyong, Dong Er and others.
Sitting in the carriage, Guo Shao lifted the bamboo curtain and looked outside. The ancient scenery passed by in front of his eyes, and what Zuo You said was still circling in his mind.
His heart was very ups and downs. Sometimes he swirled to the high ground and felt that he could do everything. The entire era and the whole world were running under his will. He could change and create whatever he could at will, so that everything would run according to his own will. Sometimes he swirled to the low ground, and he was a little frightened, afraid that he would not be able to control the situation and that things would exceed his ability.
After all, Guo Shao is just a young man in his twenties. Considering his experience in his previous life, he was also a young man in his previous life.
This kind of panic is vaguely like a young man who has just grown up and wants to leave home to go out for a walk. He no longer has the protection of his parents and teachers. He will be responsible for his actions... And now he is responsible not only for his own destiny, but also for the people around him, and even the entire country.
There is no longer a foresighted strong lord who assumes the fate of the country, and he will dominate the direction of the world.
Excitement and huge pressure existed in Guo Shao's heart at the same time.
Just then, Dong Zunhui's house arrived.
When Guo Shao walked out of the carriage, he saw that Gao was already waiting in the gate.
Her expression was very strange when she saw Guo Shao, as if a drowning man grabbed a life-saving straw.
Sister Yi is fine?Guo Shao said with rituals.
Gao made a blessing and said: You are finally here, I have something important to discuss with you.
Guo Shao followed Gao into a living room. Gao held his servants away and told them not to go to tea.She immediately bowed and approached Guo Shao and whispered: I'm pregnant!
Guo Shao was a little absent-minded and was thinking about something else, but he was stunned when he heard this.
Gao stared at his face: It was General Guo’s...the last birthday.Do you believe me?I really only had that kind of thing with you...
Guo Shao immediately said: Of course it is mine.
Gao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: I was very worried, but I didn’t expect you to be such a responsible person.But, I am a widow...what should I do?
Guo Shao pondered for a moment: I lived in seclusion in another place and raised my child after he was born.
Where to stay in seclusion?Gao frowned.
Guo Shao said: This is a bit sudden. I first think of a way and then come to pick up Sister Yi.Don't worry, I'll handle it properly.
There were also Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi, and Jing Niang in the hall, and everyone showed unexpected expressions.
Zhou Xingfeng was the governor of Wuping, who seized part of the territory of the former Chu State (Hunan).
