The rainstorm in summer comes at any time, intermittently, sometimes big and sometimes small. It took three days of rain to stop.
When the rain curtain was blown by the wind, it was like milky white gauze curtains floating in the wind, and it was like heavy fog rippling in the air.
Looking at Jinyang City from afar, the city towers and walls seem to be shrouded in deep smoke and clouds.
The rain drained the beacon smoke and washed away the blood left by the casualties on the city wall.
The war was put on hold, and fortifications were built outside the city to siege the city.There are only a large tent behind the fortification, like countless umbrellas on rainy days.
After the rain, the weather turns cooler, washing away the heat of the hot summer; but in addition to being cool, the humidity also makes people suffer because there are not so many houses for all the soldiers to live in.
The tent could not completely block the rain, and the dry firewood was short. The soldiers' wet armor could only be roasted half-dry on fire. It was not so comfortable to wrap half-wet and undry clothes on their bodies.
The most inconvenient thing is the mud on the road. The road connecting the camps is trampled to pieces. The people and horses are walking on it like walking in a swamp, and it is like being in the mud of rice fields that cannot be walked in an instant. The mud is directly flooded with ankles... It is better on the road of the post road. The land is crushed by carriages and horses for a long time and it is very strong. The rainwater cannot soak too deep. However, a layer of thin mud is attached to the hard soil surface, like lubricant. The people and horses are slippery when they walk on it, and they will fall if they are accidentally caught.
The generals of the Zhou army went to the Central Army camp every day, as if they were arguing endlessly about whether to fight or retreat.
General Xiang Xun sent someone to ask Guo Shao to meet at his tent again. This time, Xiang Xun looked a little embarrassed and looked back.
Judging from the days when Guo Shao made friends with him, Xiang Xun is actually a real person.
But people will inevitably occasionally say something with a hot heart and say something when they are slapping their chests. I will take you to the official family and ask the official family to give you another light words. When they see Xiang Xun's current expression, Guo Shao knew that this might not be that easy.
The Zhou Dynasty was not as good as the unified empire of the Han and Tang dynasties, but it was the strongest Central Plains regime in the world, and Chai Rong was also an emperor recognized by the world... Even if the Northern Han Lord and others verbally did not recognize Chai Rong as the common ruler of the world, they would definitely take Chai Rong, the emperor, seriously.
Is the emperor so easy to see?
Seeing this, Guo Shao hurriedly said kindly: I treated the general with respect to the wise and the nobles, and I received the last general many times, but the last general was already flattered.The court will be able to reward this small merit in the end, so there is no need to specifically seek official positions.
Guo Shao said this not to flatter Xiang Xun, nor to be modest. It is true that Xiang Xun has a huge gap between his status and his own. When they met alone several times, they really gave face and gave enough respect.
Xiang Xun asked: By the way, the commander Zhang Du performed his merits on your behalf last time. What position would he be promoted to?
Commander.Guo Shao said.
Xiang Xun frowned and said: How big is the commander? He has no more than five hundred soldiers under his command, and he may be some of them.Too low!
Guo Shao answered according to facts: Before this battle, he only did the capital.Not only did he answer based on facts, he had no specific explanation: he only took it for one day, but he was actually a team leader.
Xiang Xun shook his head: The name of killing Zhang Yuanhui in the formation is inconsistent with a commander.What's more, if others don't understand, how can I not understand?Xinkou saved Shi Yanchao. If Guo Lang was not here, Shi Yanchao was dead.With these contributions, not only will you be a small commander, but you will not only be a small commander, not only.
Although Guo Shao also wanted to make a name for himself, he had not thought about reaching the sky in one step. He had a sentence in his mind: If the steps are too big, it is easy to pull the egg.
Xiang Xun pondered for a moment and said: I have a good relationship with Prime Minister Wang Pu. Let me tell him about this first, and I will give you news in a few days.
Guo Shao didn't refuse, thinking that a few months ago he was an unknown team leader, and he was not interested in others. Is this related to the prime minister?
Xiang Xun patted his chest again and said: I can't guarantee anything else, you should never be promoted to commander!The contribution of killing the most powerful general of the Northern Han Dynasty and saving Shi Yanchao is to be a commander. He really laughed at the big teeth of the world... He lowered his voice a little, and the official killed more than 70 generals in Luzhou, and he had to manage the army when he returned. There were a lot of vacancies at this time. Please rest assured. I will tell Prime Minister Wang that as long as he nodded, this matter was easy to deal with.
Guo Shao hurriedly thanked him.
However, Xiang Xun's statement was indeed a bit exaggerated, not to the extent that he laughed at the world.
The battle to kill Zhang Yuanhui, Wuqi Town defeat the Liao army alone and defeat the enemy, and rescue Shi Yanchao. These things are all big or small. The amount of the credit depends on what the emperor thinks and what others say.
If we talk about it in a small way, these things have not reached the level of affecting the situation of the war, and it is not considered a great achievement; if we talk about it in a big way, we can make a mysterious aura to discuss it. The army needs heroes and specific deeds that can be discussed, those who have a reputation as the first general, or those deeds that are easy for the soldiers at the bottom to understand can affect the morale of the army.
……
The rain still took off from time to time. Guo Shao returned to the outside of Jinyang City and spent many days, and the Zhou army never attacked the city again.
Finally, after a few days of continuous clearance, news came from the army that the emperor ordered the army to retreat one after another.
The battle to siege Jinyang should end here.
Although the Zhou Dynasty did not directly destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, Gaoping severely damaged its main force. After arriving in Jinyang City, it spread all the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty. Except for Jinyang City, all the other prefectures and towns had surrendered to the Zhou army.
This time, the Northern Han Dynasty may be in silence for a long time and dare not take any action. It is still a matter of whether it can recover its vitality.
The infantry of the Xiaodi Army was no longer established, with only some scattered soldiers and defeated generals left; but the horse soldiers suffered little losses and the main force still existed.Guo Shao and others were under the command of the Xiaodi Army, the horse soldiers, and retreated with them.
The troops returned to the court and still walked, and the horse had to hold something, but it was rarely ridden.
Guo Shao couldn't calculate it, but he felt that he had walked thousands of miles on foot in a few months.
He soon discovered that no one was in charge of his small group of people, and there was neither Du's head nor commander on the top. No one cared about the troops that were not under his control. They only had one of the commanders of the Xiaodi Army, Horse and Soldiers.
When the army arrived in Luzhou, there were troops in the front and the road was blocked. A minister was going to coordinate, and the troops behind stopped to rest.
The weather in Luzhou was clear, so Guo Shao then invited the two brothers to visit the old place nearby, but no one cared about them anyway.
The three of them rode horses outside Wuji Town, and Luo Mengzi asked: Do you want to go in and take a look?
Guo Shaoluo thought about it and found that there was no one he wanted to meet in Wuqi Town.
See Li Desheng?
The town general Li Desheng is actually not a bad person, but Guo Shao has no interest in making friends; he feels a little intimate with the people in the town, but when it comes to a specific person, he is not very familiar or caring.
Thinking of this, after bleeding here, I couldn't find a reason to miss it.
So what should I do when I go in? Do I have to see if the people have erected monuments for themselves and praised merits?
He shook his head, and moved his horse and the two of them to continue to walk south slowly.
By noon, due to the stuffy weather, the water in the three of them had run out of water in their water bags and there was no well nearby. They decided to find a village to replenish some drinking water, then eat some dry food and return to the station.
I saw smoke on the half slope not far from the road. It seemed that there were several families, so they led their horses along the way.
As soon as I approached, I heard someone hustle and bustle on the slope, and then I heard the sound of a young lady calling for help.
The three of them could hear clearly, and when they looked at each other, Guo Shao hurriedly took down the Ershibang and prepared an arrow; Yang Luo and others did not bring their soldiers, so they immediately took out their waist knife to guard.
They continued to walk upwards and heard someone shouting in the earthy yard above: Grain!Where is the grain hidden?Another voice said: Dear heroes, my family really has no food. At the beginning of the year, the government issued an additional slaughter. Last time, the soldiers from Jinyang came to collect them, and they wanted to scrape away a layer of the land... The child was sick and starved to death, and my family could only eat the bark and roots of the tree. The heroes let us go...
Can you live such an old age by eating tree bark?grain!If you don’t give the food, you will cook this little lady!
Guo Shao and others followed the sound and walked into the broken courtyard, which contained a small earth dam and several thatched huts.
There were two ragged and thin people standing at the door, who looked very much like refugees. When they saw Guo Shao and others wearing armor, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly shouted inside: The officers and soldiers are here!
As soon as they finished speaking, Yang Luo and the other two stepped forward and put the knife on the necks of the two refugees. The two were shocked and stared at each other and did not dare to move.At the same time, Guo Shao had already rushed into the house.
There were four people inside, an old man knelt on the ground and turned his head to look at Guo Shao blankly; two ragged refugees next to him were holding a little girl and pressing it on the stove.
The little girl was wearing a patched torn dress, unimaginably thin, her head was facing a pot on the stove, and the water inside was so hot that it was bubbling, and it was already boiling. She was so dirty that she cried by the steam, and her face was dirty and black and white.
Yang Luo and the others then rushed into the house.The old man kneeling on the ground moved over with his knees and hugged Guo Shao's legs: Jun Ye save us!
Seeing this, the people beside the stove said sternly: Don’t move!Otherwise, I will let go and cook her!
Don't be impatient for a moment, I will put down the bow and arrow first.Guo Shao carefully hung the arrow down first, then collected the arrows on the string, and continued, we have food and three fast horses.They are all in the yard.
Let them go!The person who made a sound looked the most fierce, and other refugees were so scared that they dared not let it go.
Guo Shao said: Let that little lady go, my people will let them go.
The man said: You damn it, I'm stupid!After letting go of the little lady, can we beat you up and live?
Guo Shao kept calm and said: If you let her go, beg for mercy immediately. Can you survive if you kill her?Do you think we have something to do with this family? We just came up to ask for water.
The person who was blocked by his neck was hurriedly and scared: Jun Ye, please spare me, please spare me!
Guo Shao ignored it and stared at the man with a fierce expression: Be careful that his hand slipped and injured his innocent life. It would be difficult for you to live.
When the rain curtain was blown by the wind, it was like milky white gauze curtains floating in the wind, and it was like heavy fog rippling in the air.
Looking at Jinyang City from afar, the city towers and walls seem to be shrouded in deep smoke and clouds.
