In the evening of the Tokyo Palace, Guo Shao felt bored and listened to Guo Zhang memorizing the article he had just learned, so he asked him to rest.Only Guo Zhang's mother Li Yuan'er was left with Guo Shao's side.
The righteous way is that the father of tiger has no dog and son, and our youngest Duke (Li Jilong) has good qualifications.After Dong Zunhui's banquet, I said that Li Jilong's march was very rapid and well-organized, which was very rare for a man of this age.Guo Shao said in a casual tone.
Li Yuan'er said: There are too many qualified young people in the world. It is not because of the grace and trust of His Majesty, that he has the opportunity to be loyal to the country.
Li Yuaner's more round and tender face had a decent expression, and a gentle smile.
But the most difficult thing to understand and force in this world is the human heart. Guo Shao can't guess how much of that smile comes from the heart.
Guo Shao couldn't help but sigh, remembering Li Yuan'er's sincerity back then, and reached out to hold Li Yuan'er's little hand, with a look of guilt on his face, and said: I am also very sad about the death of Mr. Li.
Li Yuan'er almost burst into tears in an instant, but after a little silence, she whispered: The people of Liao are sinister, and His Majesty is wise and powerful, and has already avenged his revenge.My father’s spirit in heaven should be relieved.
Her implication was that Zhongli, who poisoned Li Chuyun, was a spy from the Liao Kingdom, which was also the official words of Daxu.
After hearing this, Guo Shao had to nod and said: I am very pleased that the imperial concubine can understand the general principles.
Li Yuan'er said softly: Your Majesty has great kindness to me and the Li family, and I can't repay you even if I do a cow or a horse. I still don't change my original intention when I feel for Your Majesty.
At this time, Guo Shao felt an indescribable trouble. He actually wanted to have a sincere talk with people he was close to, but... Since he had all possessed the three palaces and six courtyards through great power and rules, would Li Yuaner or anyone dare to vent his deep emotions towards Guo Shao?
And now Li Yuan'er's performance is very consistent with her identity and situation.Guo Shao felt that nothing was wrong with her.
...The day is still short in early spring, and the night is long. The next day, Guo Shao left the imperial concubine's palace early to go to Jinxiang Hall, but it was still not dawn.
He said a lot to Li Yuaner last night. The harem has become a political one, and there is almost no one who can speak intently, but Li Yuaner's unintentional unchanged original intention impressed Guo Shao.
Today is the central minister who discusses politics every three days, so Guo Shao came to the Political Consultative Hall early.
He took a lamp from the eunuch Cao Tai and shone it on the wall behind the imperial seat. There was a large map hanging on it. Under the lights nearby, he was able to see every line on the picture clearly.
It is difficult to accurately draw maps, but the current map has changed the habit of drawing mountains, rivers and cities in the past, and has turned it into proportion as the concept and paid attention to size; therefore, there are few pictures in this picture, all of which are lines and circles.
This is the territory he ruled.
Soon, Guo Shao found Cao Tai, who was standing next to him, looking up, and he guessed that a minister had arrived early.
Guo Shao said without looking back: Since I ascended the throne, I have gained not only glory, wealth and supreme power, but also must assume mission and responsibility.Every dynasty has its mission. Some need to recuperate and restore the Han population, some need to expel foreign troubles to avoid the destruction of the country, and some need to end the division and unify the country.What do you think is Daxu’s mission?
Cao Tai was stunned, not speaking easily.The people behind him were probably a little surprised, as if the emperor had eyes on his back.
The man said: If you say this, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it will be a great opportunity to divide the territory and split the country together, and recover lost territory and unify the world.
Hearing the sound, Guo Shao realized that the person who arrived early was Zuo You.
Guo Shao turned his head and saw Zuo You standing in the middle of the empty political hall with his fists.
The two looked at each other from a distance. The deaths of Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun really made Guo Shao unable to let go, so that he felt inexplicably when he saw Zuo You... He almost killed Zuo You, a former friend who had been with him for many years, in one thought.
He continued to use the lamp to shine the line on the map and said casually that there were still places such as Dali Kingdom and Jingnan Army that had not surrendered, but the overall situation was decided.He pondered for a moment and said, my original intention was not limited to this.
Zuo You said: I would like to hear your Majesty’s general advice.
Guo Shao put down the lamp holder, turned around, and his eyes lit up: Sweep away the haze in the world, establish a fair and clear institutional order, the people are prosperous and the country is honored; then let the country have a bright future.
Zuo You immediately bowed: Your Majesty is a great talent and strategy, and I am willing to do my best to your Majesty's great ambitions.
At this time, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and others came. When they saw Guo Shao standing there, they all bowed their fists and bowed.
Perhaps when several ministers first heard it, they thought Guo Shao was just saying some grand talk.
But when Guo Shao recalled his enthusiasm when he was younger, he really thought so. His ideal when he fought in the north and south was indeed the same.
Now he didn't change his original intention, but found that he seemed to take it for granted back then; conspiracy and cruelty not only happened to others, but he did a lot of it himself!
The dream of light is just imagination after all.
Where is the mistake?
Perhaps there is nothing wrong, but everything has to be a process, a long process that takes thousands of years.
Guo Shao was unwilling to doubt his institutional ideals.
Just as he would not doubt that the progress of production mode is the direction of the future, according to experience, Xifan dominated the future world with the industrial revolution... although in this world, he could not see that day.
The sky outside the window gradually became brighter, and more than twenty civil and military ministers arrived one after another.
After the rituals of the king and his subjects, Guo Shao put away his random thoughts in the morning and immediately said clearly: Spring is coming, and the weather is getting warmer.In the battle against Liao, I want to lead the army to fight in person.
The government affairs hall quickly talked about it, and Prime Minister Li Gu clasped his fists and said: The world is chaotic for a long time, and after Da Xu unified the countries, he fought for years.Our country defeated the Liao army in Hedong, and then went on a northern expedition again. If the war lasted for a long time, the national treasury would not be enough to make ends meet.
General Gao Huaide also said: The official family’s dragon body has just recovered. If you want to conquer Liao, you only need to send one general.
Guo Shao said: I have been in the palace for too long, so I want to take advantage of this battle to rejoin the battle.What he said was that he had given the world a sick impression for so long that he would prove his martial arts again.
Guo Shao turned his head to look at Li Gu again: Don’t worry, Xianggong Li, besides the battle to recover Youzhou, Daxu’s army has always been quick to fight and decide.This time is no exception. We do not want to compete with the Liao army in the Northeast. The goal of this battle is to force the Liao Kingdom to seek peace.
Several prime ministers seemed relieved when they heard this, and Li Gu also changed his attitude and said, "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and the world is very lucky."
Guo Shao looked slightly and signaled to Wei Renpu.
As usual, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, walked to the heads of the ministers and hung up a map of Liaodong.
He calmly bowed to the officials: Everyone, the court's national policy was to take Hexi, build a horse farm, open up the Western Regions, obtain enough war horses and cavalry, and then turn to defend to attack and deal with the Liao Kingdom.
Everyone agreed.
Wei Renpu said: However, the situation has changed. I, the king and the king, all thought it was out of place to continue the national policy at this time.Last autumn, the Liao Kingdom lost more than 30,000 Khitan and Xi troops in Hedong again, and more than 80,000 troops had been lost in the past five years. The Liao Kingdom's military power was no longer the same.At this time, Liao was even more troubled in China, and it was difficult to pose another threat.
Our dynasty no longer needs to consume national strength and expand its cavalry. As long as the Liao Dynasty is forced to take power, the two countries will discuss peace and covenant.If you use the Liao Kingdom to suppress the northern tribes, you can solve the problems of the northern border.
The civil and military were talking noisy, so that Wei Renpu kept increasing his voice.
Civil officials obviously support the change of national policy. Over the years, Guo Shao has been very familiar with the classics and historical experiences pursued by civil officials. He should rest and recuperate at the beginning of the country, especially when external troubles are not serious.
The generals were not very satisfied, because war could bring them military achievements.
Shi Yanchao simply shouted: We have fought so many wars with the Liao Kingdom, and so many brothers and people have died. Are we going to make peace again now?
Wang Pu said: A month ago, Yang Ye wrote a letter that the Hutuo River was filled with corpses of the Liao army, and the river water almost cut off, and corpses were everywhere between the valleys.When it comes to blood debt, we are not just hating the Liao people?
Guo Shao said: General Shi, don’t worry, there are still many wars to fight.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and the emperor seemed to have captured Shi Yanchao's thoughts.
Guo Shao shot the imperial case and ignored everyone's arguments and said directly: That's it, Deputy Envoy Wei continued to discuss the strategy.
Wei Renpu bowed and pointed at the map calmly with his palm: Liaoyang Prefecture is the capital of the Dongdan Kingdom (the old land of the Bohai Sea), and Daxu planned to divide troops into three groups to threaten Liaoyang.The main infantry and cavalry left Pingzhou, swept western Liaoning, and besieged Jinzhou; the Jiaolong Army transported two routes from the water to capture Tiezhou (yingkou) and Suzhou (Dalian).
The Dongdan Kingdom is a key place in Liao Kingdom, and the Liao court must not sit idly by.They may gather troops to save Liaoyang and fight with our country; if they are unwilling to fight, they can only accept peace talks.
Shi Yanchao asked: If the Liao Kingdom does not submit, our cavalry will not be enough. We should build the castle to Liaoyang Prefecture like attacking Youzhou?
Wei Renpu said: Marshal Shi asked well, if so.We then regained Jinzhou and retreated.
He looked back and forth. After the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the northeastern areas were under the jurisdiction of the Liao Kingdom.Xu's army dispatched to attack the territory of Liao Kingdom, captured a city, and erected a stone tablet to carve the achievements. Even if the troops retreated, it would not be considered a loss.
In Guo Shao's opinion, the Liao army would never set up a battle formation in Jinzhou to fight hard. The most likely thing is to use cavalry to raid the food road when Xu's army goes deep and has no choice but to use cavalry to raid the food road; so as long as you make up your mind and don't drive straight in, you will be invincible in this battle... This is also one of the reasons why Guo Shao wanted to command the imperial army to fight in person.
There is no need for him to take risks with his prestige at this time.
Wei Renpu said again: Of course, this is just the most unfavorable situation. Although the Daxu army can be claimed to be a victory, the income of a city is really not as good as the cost of using the army.The best result was to force the Liao Kingdom to give up being enemies with Da Xu and come to seek peace.
The righteous way is that the father of tiger has no dog and son, and our youngest Duke (Li Jilong) has good qualifications.After Dong Zunhui's banquet, I said that Li Jilong's march was very rapid and well-organized, which was very rare for a man of this age.Guo Shao said in a casual tone.
