Chapter 887 Calling Dad

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Guo Shaoai saw the scene of the men and horses marching in armor, and also liked to listen to the coordinated footsteps and the sound of metal rubbing, as if it was a symphony.

Under the Jinzhou city tower, heavy infantry lined up to the city one after another, and the crackling footsteps seemed to have a rhythmic heavy bass.

The cavalry's slow movements of the cavalry lined up at first glance seemed to jump lightly, or dance. When they looked closely, they did not jump with their four hooves, and the horse's posture was elegant and powerful.

There were rows of infantry and cavalry, and the same scene was repeated under the city tower, but Guo Shao stood on top and watched for a long time.

He turned to Wei Renpu next to him and said: Do Deputy Envoy Wei thinks this scene is boring?

Wei Renpu bent down slightly and said calmly: I look at it, it is very interesting.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: People always want to have omnipotent power, but unfortunately, no matter how strong a person is, his abilities are limited. If thousands of people can do one thing together, the power cannot be slighted.So whenever I see this kind of scene, I am always a little excited.

Wei Renpu thought seriously, and then he replied seriously: Your Majesty is very clear.

Guo Shao raised his head, his eyes crossed the row of Xu Jun flags floating high, and looked at the green fields that could not be seen at the edge. The Xiaoling River meandered across the vast land, and his vision could no longer be seen further.

Not only is the individual's strength and running speed limited, but his vision is also very limited.

Gao Huaide lived up to his hopes and captured this important town built by the Han people in the Tang Dynasty in half a month, but Guo Shao was not very excited, but felt that his heart was still hanging down.

Jinzhou has a flat terrain on all sides, with rich water systems and fertile land; the city is the ruling center of this area.

If this place is generally captured by the court, it will definitely be a remarkable achievement.

But Guo Shao mobilized so many people to conquer the Northeast in person, not for a city.

He was waiting for news from Liao Kingdom.

This feeling reminded him of the first scene of making a name for himself: shooting Zhang Yuanhui with one arrow.

The timing and angle were very good at that time, and Guo Shao was also very sure of the archery he had practiced for a long time, but before the moment of shooting the arrow, he was very nervous and worried.

Because no one can be 100% sure about some things. When Guo Shao was in Lingzhou, he killed Dangxiangren and did not hide his brother.

She is like a young lady who is very moved when she was young. She has already started, but she is always careful, afraid that she will fly away if she is scared...

People and horses were active all day inside and outside Jinzhou City, garrisoning troops to deploy defenses, resettle and identify prisoners, and appease the people. All the matters were complicated, but Guo Shao ignored them.

When he repeatedly pondered and designed the former military palace, he had already paid his hard work in advance.

Until the evening, they gathered with the military ministers and generals at the temporary requisition of the Central Army headquarters to have dinner, and the meals were the same as those of the generals, even Guo Shao was no exception.

The hot wheat cakes are very dry and tedious.There are vegetable leaves in the soup, dried sea fish are added... Sometimes it is bacon.This makes soup very easy and even salt, because the dried fish and bacon are very salty.

Guo Shao seemed to be silent and talked to everyone about some interesting stories.

At this time, Gao Huaide smiled and said: Duke Shi, I heard that once in Hedong, there was no military discipline, and he plundered the people and kidnapped the young lady. He was seen by Duke Shi.Duke Shi ordered the soldiers to rectify the law on the spot, and then chopped off the little ladies.After hearing this story, I didn’t understand why Duke Shi wanted to kill the innocent people together?

The laughter in the room immediately became less and the atmosphere became a little subtle. Everyone looked at Shi Yanchao's reaction.

Guo Shao sat in the upper seat without saying a word, still chewing on the wheat cake.

The wheat cakes eaten in the army are very thick, so you must chew more, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow. After chewing more, you can taste the light sweetness unique to the grain.

Guo Shao estimated that Shi Yanchao must have something to do with Gao Huaide, mocking or showing off.

After Gao Huaide conquered Jinzhou, he was confident in speaking and was responding in public.

Anyway, there is never a shortage of minor friction between these military generals and civil officials, especially Shi Yanchao and Guo Shao is not surprised.

Shi Yanchao bit a gap in his hand and threw it into the iron cup soup. The vegetable soup splashed all over the floor. He squinted his eyes and said: I feel relieved and save trouble.

Gao Huaide raised his thumbs up and sneered: I admire you.

Shi Yanchao said again: Those soldiers travel thousands of miles, holding their heads to fight, burning, killing, and robbing, but I can't ask a group of women to gloat when they die!

At this moment, the eunuch Yang Shiliang walked into the lobby, bowed straight from the side to Guo Shao, and whispered in Guo Shao's ear: The Liao Kingdom sent a secret envoy to Jinzhou, and he had just arrived.

After hearing this, Guo Shao let out a sigh of relief and said to everyone: The Liao Kingdom is here to seek peace.

Shi Yanchao had forgotten all the arguments just now and immediately shouted: Let the Liao king call him father, and the official promised them to ask for peace.

Wei Renpu glared at Shi Yanchao angrily and said: That's all that!

Civil servant Lu Duosun said seriously: Before going to the war, everyone discussed politics in front of the officials, and this time they went to the war to force peace.Otherwise, there would be no way out in thousands of miles of grassland and the vast cold land of the Northeast.

Guo Shao slapped his thigh and said: I will ride out of Jinzhou for two days tomorrow morning and wander around Liaoyang a few times.

Lu Duosun clasped his fists and said: Do the Liao people think that our dynasty has no sincerity in peace talks?

Guo Shao changed his silent expression and suddenly smiled: Be calm.The Liao people are fighting or reconciling, not because we are polite.If they think they can continue to compete with Daji, they will not be able to make a real difference even if they send the princess money to beg for them.

……

The tent of the Daliao King is still stationed in the western plain of Daheishan Mountain. Many horses are gnawing on grass, but they are not fat, and the grass seeds in autumn will gain weight.

Spring thunder suddenly rumbled deep in the mountains, and the entire earth was shrouded in an indelible haze.

However, the unhappiest person in the Wangzhang camp should be Xiao Siwen.

Not long ago, he said something to his confidant Xiao Abudi: The ewe are eating grass desperately, swaying the bulging goat milk under his belly, showing its useful value to the owner.

The most shameless thing in the power field is to look like a pleasing person in front of his former subordinates!

Thinking about the fall of Youzhou back then (Xiao Siwen never felt it was his own responsibility, and the reinforcements of the Liao court were hopeless. Who could defend the lonely city under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops), Xiao Siwen fought back and knocked back the blame on the head of the great Liao emperor Yelu Jing!

Yelu Xizhen and others respected and admired him and were humble.

Now, Xiao Siwen has fallen to the point where he wants to try every means to please and attach himself to Yelu Xizhen.Xiao Siwen has been feeling ashamed and unwilling, but more of it is helpless.

The situation of peace talks with Xu Guo could not be controlled, and Xiao Siwen gradually lost power.

He often woke up from his dreams and couldn't remember any nightmare, but at that time he would think of the many people he had offended, had hatred, and was dissatisfied with him over the years. There were so many people he could not count.

Xiao Siwen got up from the collapse again. When his breath was slightly flat, he walked to a pair of bronze mirrors with him, looked inside, and turned his head to look at the outline on the side.

He stretched out his neck and looked in the mirror to make a calm and upright posture, only to feel that his facial features and face were upright and his appearance was very good.

He gradually found confidence.

The world has ups and downs, and Xiao Siwen believes that he can overcome this difficulty.From now on, they were still Khitan nobles with a steady manner, loyalty to the country and noble status.

Xiao Siwen gently smoothed his hair with his palms, picked up his hat and put it on, turned around and walked out of the tent.

He rode his horse and walked into the king's tent without any obstacles. Many ministers of the Liao Kingdom had arrived, and the great Khan Yelu Xian also sat on his tiger-skin chair.

Xiao Siwen stepped forward and bowed with his hands pressed his chest, and then found his place in the front.

People around were talking about it.

The King of the B-Secretarius standing next to him said to Xiao Siwen: The secret envoy of the king's tent has returned and claimed that the conditions for the Emperor of Xu's peace talks are: First, the place for peace talks should be within the territory of Xu's country, and second, the Great Liao should send status-based envoys to formulate the Privy Council envoy or the King of the Northern Court.

After hearing this, Xiao Siwen was shocked and asked in a deep voice: When will the news be?

The King of the B-shirt said: Just now.

Xiao Siwen's eyebrows were almost frowning. He was weak in power and went to the enemy's territory to negotiate peace. Who would be willing to go?

Yelu Xizhen is now the most powerful person in the Liao Dynasty, so he definitely doesn’t want to go... Then only Xiao Siwen will go!

Xiao Siwen's heart suddenly fell into the ice valley again and hurriedly asked the King of the B Section: What else did the secret envoy say?He hopes to get the most news so that he can think of a solution.

The King of the B Section said: After Xu's army occupied Jinzhou, he immediately sent a ranger to Liaoyang to harass and spy on military affairs, and was not very concerned about peace talks. The secret envoy only met an important figure in the Xu State two days later.

Xiao Siwen immediately shouted: Khan, Xu people have no sincerity in peace talks. How can we negotiate peace talks in this situation?

Yelu Xizhen said calmly: It’s not that Xu State does not want to quit. How many benefits can the Southern people get if they continue to fight?However, Xu State should form an alliance with Goryeo to attack the Great Liao. If we want to make peace with the Great Liao, things will be more complicated. Moreover, what Xu people want is that the Daliao cavalry will stop raiding the border in the future and will not trust the Daliao very much.Even so, depending on the current situation, there is still a great opportunity to negotiate peace.

Xiao Siwen immediately asked back: If he promised the conditions of the people, who would go to negotiate peace?

Yelu Xizhen stared at Xiao Siwen with an obvious expression.

Xiao Siwen was almost crying: Emperor Xu hated me to the core. If I came to my door, could I still come back alive?

Yelu Xizhen advised with kind words: This peace talk is not a trivial matter, and everyone in the world knows it.If Guo Blacksmith takes the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge, wouldn’t he be stingy and untrustworthy in the world?Mr. Xiao doesn’t have to worry too much, he will never have any worries about his life.
