The scenery outside Jiangling Prefecture (now Jingzhou) is very pleasant. The vast rice fields are lush and green on the endless plains; village houses can be seen everywhere, and in the smoke of cooking, the peach and plum trees are already blooming, and the red and white colors are dotted in the vibrant green, which is particularly beautiful.
Guo Shao was looking out at the distant scenery at the top of the city.
He has repeatedly banned soldiers from disturbing the people. It would be a pity if this rare and prosperous scene was destroyed.
Jingzhou has been a strategic location since ancient times, not how dangerous its terrain is, but on the Jianghan Plain; however, its status as a water and land transportation hub connecting north and south east and west is very important, and its terrain is flat and rich in resources and is convenient for rule, so it is a good place to station troops and raise troops.
Now Guo Shao plans to use Jingzhou as the base camp of the Eastern Army, where there are food and transportation are convenient, and will become the rear center of the army.
Luo Yanhuan led 20,000 troops from the Tiger Army left wing were also heading south, and would enter here with elite troops, firmly control Jingzhou and stabilize the rear of the Eastern Route Army.
The horse's hooves were clattering on the road beneath the city, and the soldiers were running happily on the road between the fields.
Someone found Guo Shao standing on the top of the city nearby, and some people waved their weapons and shouted at the city, and the troops started to cheer.
Everyone has a very high morale!Zuo You said next to him.
Wang Pu said: You can easily occupy such a good place. The soldiers are having a good meal and drink every day. Just like that, they still have money. Who is unhappy?
After hearing this, Guo Shao looked west and said casually: Good days will not last too long.
On a sunny afternoon, everything is so bright and bright, peace and joy are shrouded inside and outside the city.But Guo Shao's tone and eyes suddenly made the atmosphere feel a little depressed.
Zuo You and others followed his gaze and looked west, and there was still an endless and open field scenery... However, everyone knew that as long as they kept going west, they would soon enter the dangerous mountainous areas of Songshan Mountain. Xiling and Bashan were blocking heavily, as if they were adding layers of thick armor to Shu.
At this moment, Guo Shao suddenly smiled and said: We will travel hard, but we will definitely win.
The Shu army was unable to stand the battle and could not stop the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou.Wang Pu also echoed, and everyone gradually recovered from ease for a while.
Guo Shao no longer affected everyone's mood, but this kind of mentality of placing the hope of victory on the opponent's weakness really made him feel uncomfortable.
But what can I do? From Tokyo to Jingzhou, Guo Shao learned in detail about the terrain and customs around Shu Kingdom, and believed that as long as Shu Kingdom could really try his best to defend, almost no ancient army could fight in at once!
Therefore, most of the time when they quickly attacked Shu Kingdom, they had problems within themselves; for example, the former Shu emperors liked to worship Buddha everywhere and abandoned military and political affairs.
What if Meng Chang and the king and his ministers suddenly stop being stupid?
If the war continues, the various problems and contradictions in the Zhou Dynasty itself will intensify and ferment.
On the contrary, as long as you defeat Shu, one of the great powers at this time, the prestige of Guo Shao and even Fu Jinzhan regime will rise rapidly. Victory will be like giving the Zhou Dynasty a dose of heart-warming agent, and it will also give substantial national strength enhancement, and all hidden dangers can be solved easily...
Guo Shao turned around and walked down the city wall and returned to the central army headquarters not far from the city gate.I suddenly walked into the shade from the warm sunshine, and felt the remaining chill in spring, a little cold.
He asked Lu Chengyong to come to Aunt Sun's people, several leaders of the business gang, and people who often traveled to Shu Kingdom and Jingnan.
Before the war, the Privy Council and the Palace Front Office had sorted out a lot of things on the road to Shu, including road maps and some official articles; however, Guo Shao still wanted to talk to those who had actually walked through it.
Guo Shao talked with him, and the merchants were very excited to speak. The truth of the two or three brave people showed their faces in front of Guo Shao.
When sailing against the current, it is best to use wheels, water wheels and oars to make it faster, but there are more boatmen required.It is best to avoid going against the current and going against the wind. When the wind is down... The water is generally fast in the narrow area of the river, and the oars and sails are not very useful. At that time, you have to use a strait pull.When walking in the Three Gorges, the most important thing is to avoid dangerous shoals and reefs, and the boat will be destroyed if it hits.
Guo Shao listened very seriously and asked carefully: Do you know the location of those dangerous shoals and reefs?
A man said: There are also dangerous shoals in the shops in Jiangling Mansion. The young man asked someone to go back and bring them to Marshal Guo.
That's good.Guo Shaoxi said.
The man took the initiative to ask for an order: If there is a picture alone, Mr. Guo took me with me. I am familiar with this waterway and I can recognize it in many places. I also know how to find a familiar guide along the river. We have walked many times, but we still have to find a guide every time.
Guo Shao didn't take it as an air and asked gently: Can the land along the river be directly connected to Kuizhou?
One person rushed to say: Yes!However, there are many places such as Qutang Gorge, where there are cliffs on both sides of the shore that have no way to access, so you have to walk on the plank road, which is very dangerous.
There is a picture on the plank road?Guo Shao asked.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Guo Shao turned to Zuo You and said: I have to send someone to go first and find out the specific location of the plank road.He expanded the map in his hand and looked at the lines above. It was mainly the plank road from the east of Kuizhou to the confluence of Wuxi, which was under the control of the Shu army.There is no need to ask about Gui, Xia and other prefectures. There will be no resistance in the hands of the Jingnan garrison.
Guizhou and Xiazhou (near Yichang City) are also dangerous places. They used to belong to Shu, but now they are under the control of Jingnan.
Guo Shao had not yet figured out the historical origins of it, but he felt that Shu was doing a bad job... Shu was also a big country, and it was understandable that it had not occupied Jingzhou in the east to form an offensive situation. However, Guizhou and Xiazhou, which were originally Shu, could also be lost, shortening the depth of defense, which should be considered a strategic mistake of the Shu regime.
So much so that Guo Shao only needs to break through one place now: Three Gorges.Then he directly threatened Kuizhou, the throat of Shu Kingdom.
The two words Kuizhou in this picture are already blurred, and Guo Shao has touched the ink traces many times, but he can't see clearly what he wrote.
Kuizhou, a city in the mountains, became the place where Guo Shao's dream yearning for.
At this moment, there was a noise at the door, and a group of generals walked in with laughter.
When the people of the merchant gang saw the general, they were afraid and hurriedly avoided the wall... Guo Shao was also a general, but they seemed not so afraid of Guo Shao.
When Guo Shao looked up, a general shouted to the man in a civilian by the wall: Where did you come from? Why did you run to the lobby of the Central Army?One of the men bent down and said: Marshal Guo asked us to come.
Meet the lord.The generals bowed to Guo Shao very casually.
All the generals were very familiar with Guo Shao and had a clear understanding of his temper. As long as they were not in the official position of generals, Guo Shao never punished the generals for personal reasons and even scolded them. Therefore, everyone was casual... Zuo You also advised him to take an opportunity to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so that the generals would be in awe. Guo Shao never started and felt it was unnecessary.
Shi Yanchao was even more stressed and looked for a chair to sit down without saying a word.He immediately looked at a general and said: Oh, what happened to Li Dazhu today? He was walking with his legs clamped.
Luo Mengzi suddenly laughed and said to Guo Shao: Brother, I am about to tell you this. Li Dazhu went to drink flower wine a few days ago, and there were a lot of meat lumps on his thing...
Li Dazhu, commander of the Second Army, looked embarrassed.
This guy turned out to be just a commander, because he fought with Guo Shao in the north and formed the Tiger Army and rose to prominence.
He looked at Luo Mengzi with a very unhappy look, but he couldn't speak rudely... Luo Mengzi was higher than him, and everyone knew that Luo Mengzi was Guo Shao's brother.
Flowers and willow disease, flowers and willow disease.The generals started to make a fuss and said, "Shi Shi Li has a lump of flesh, but I also heard that some people have pus flowing... Some people say that the disease of flowers and willows is no big deal, and some people make a fuss and say that it is not a good cure, and that thing will be ruined.
Guo Shao rolled up the map and asked Li Dazhu kindly: Have you found a doctor to treat it?
Li Dazhu said depressedly: It has been cured, but it has not been cured yet.
Guo Shao turned to look at the business leaders, is there any famous doctor in Jiangling Mansion good at medical skills?These people have been staying in the shops in Jiangling Mansion for a long time and are more familiar with the local area.
Jiangling Mansion... I have never heard of it as awesome.However, he is famous and has a great medical god, so he must belong to the "Wushan Bailao".A man said.
What does Wushan Bailao do?It sounds like the name of a charlatan.Guo Shao said, where is she?
The man said: Wushan Bailao is in Wushan.It is reasonable that Kuo Dashui has never heard of him in Tokyo. This person's reputation has just been revealed for less than two years.However, if you had been to Jingnan or Dongchuan area earlier, you should have heard of her.
Guo Shaoluo thought for a while and said casually: Wushan is so far away from Jiangling Prefecture, and it is blocked by mountains and steep mountains. His reputation has spread so far in one or two years. It should be of extraordinary significance.
Of course, this person also has a name called "Wushan Holy Hand". As long as the person has a breath, there will be no disease that cannot be cured by her!It is said that she had saved the person who was dead and put into the coffin... The man was so excited that he spoke, and he was very angry.
Of course Guo Shao didn't believe it. Although he had indeed seen miracles... a Taoist priest's pill saved Fu Jinzhan, Fu Jinzhan had no serious illness at all, probably because it was caused by heatstroke.
If it is a real terminal illness, let alone the ancient saints, even modern and more developed medicine dare not claim to cure all diseases. Can leukemia be easily cured?
This man must have a bragging element, but it sounds like Wushan Bailao may be really clever. After all, it is not an example of curing difficult and complicated diseases. Others will not spread her reputation, let alone spread it quickly.
Guo Shao became very interested for a moment, not because he was concerned about Li Dazhu's floral disease... He suddenly remembered Wang Pu, who was half dead in Tokyo.
Guo Shao was looking out at the distant scenery at the top of the city.
He has repeatedly banned soldiers from disturbing the people. It would be a pity if this rare and prosperous scene was destroyed.
Jingzhou has been a strategic location since ancient times, not how dangerous its terrain is, but on the Jianghan Plain; however, its status as a water and land transportation hub connecting north and south east and west is very important, and its terrain is flat and rich in resources and is convenient for rule, so it is a good place to station troops and raise troops.
