In early July, Guo Shao met Zhou Duan who was returning from Youzhou, and now he became busy.
The recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is of great significance from all aspects, and Guo Shao is willing to work hard for it; at the same time, it also helps Emperor Chai Rong complete his great cause, and is willing to please him and want to continue to maintain a place in the Zhou Dynasty.
He couldn't remember what year the specific events in history were, but the situation of the Battle of Shouzhou was enough to make him infer that history had changed.
Because the key battle in Shouzhou was completely different, the Huainan Battle should be much smoother than in history, saving a considerable time for the Zhou Dynasty.
In other words, Chai Rong should have enough time to complete the Northern Expedition without leaving any regrets.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, this critical place that directly affects the national destiny for one or two hundred years, and its far-reaching indirect impact may even be based on a thousand years!
If it can be recovered and the northern defense line is complete, what kind of scene will the Central Plains dynasty be?
Guo Shao is very looking forward to this.
In terms of personal feelings, Guo Shao did remain hostile and vigilant towards Chai Rong... but this did not prevent him from giving him extremely high recognition of the ability of Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This one of the few wise monarchs of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was very courageous and capable in both civil and military affairs, and was also an emperor who was born as a martial artist. It was a very reliable thing to rely on Chai Rong to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
If even a strong leader like Chai Rong who can maintain the situation with a strong military force and a strong military force cannot be taken back, then what hope does Youzhou have?
Therefore, Guo Shao had no intention of dragging Chai Rong back, and even decided to spare no effort to do his best in this matter.
If it was for personal feelings that affected the great cause of the Northern Expedition, Guo Shao would not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart in terms of overall responsibility... but he would not be able to affect him either. If he dared to drag down his legs in the Northern Expedition, he would probably die faster!
The border states such as Ying, Mo, Ning, and Yi all hoarded military rations. The Khitans seemed to have changed their strategy of looting in wars and stored food and grass everywhere in advance.Zhou Duan talked freely.
Guo Shao recorded his narrative like a ghost drawing talisman.I'm afraid there are only drafts that he can understand.
Zhou Duan also wrote a lot of experiences himself, and Guo Shao read a random copy, and at first glance he still felt quite organized.But it is just the order of the article, but the information on the information itself is fragmented.
Guo Shao’s writing ancient articles was not good at all, but it does not mean that he was not educated.His logical thinking of summarizing information, classification and hierarchy is not inferior to that of the ancients.
These articles, experiences, and drafts obtained from Q&A.
Guo Shao had to collect and sort them out, and sort them out the categories, and sort out the information from terrain and climate, water sources to fortifications, military rations, and military force estimation.
The value of this item cannot be calculated in detail; it should be of great reference value to the Privy Council in formulating combat strategies and preparations.
Guo Shao used his awkward brush to write this information summary, from map to descriptions of categories, with pictures and texts, and nearly a hundred pages.
They are all written in small, neatly crafted fly heads, and the calligraphy is definitely not very good, but because neatness should be easy to read.
The construction was not completed until early August... He thought about it and prepared to present this thing to Wang Pu, deputy envoy of Privy Councilor.
Although Wang Pu was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the general steps of the Zhou Dynasty to unify the world were mainly from his opinions. Recently, the emperor was prone to obeying Wang Pu's advice on military and national affairs; and Wang Pu was also a minister who strongly advocated the Northern Expedition.
Guo Shao thought it through and sent the things directly to the Privy Council when he was on the way and gave them to Wang Pu.Of course, he spent so much effort and signed himself.
Then he was waiting to be commended by the emperor... actively contributed to the Northern Expedition, regardless of whether that thing would be adopted by the court, his attitude was quite correct!
……
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for was the military order of the Privy Council: to order the guards Sima Budu Yuhou Guo Shao and the commander of the left wing of the Hujie Army Qi Tingxun to lead the left wing of the Hujie Army to leave the capital before September and first go north to patrol the border in Qizhou.
When Guo Shao received this military order and checked and transferred orders with military generals at all levels, he felt a little confused... Should he be happy or worried?
Logically, the Northern Expedition should at least be after the ice melts in the spring next year. Why did Guo Shao be transferred out of Beijing so early?
He couldn't help but think of Li Chongjin, the first seat of the Guards Department, and the commander of the Mab and Crusades, who were in Huainan with extremely high military ranks; however, Guo Shao was better than Li Chongjin. He led the imperial guards out of the capital. Even if the left wing of the Hujie Army was not as good as the front rank of the Palace, he was at least one of the few elite troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because actively making contributions under Chai Rong and military affairs is an encouraged behavior.
Sure enough, it was almost noon, and Wang Pu came in person.
Wang Pu is a man in his fifties, but his body looks completely inferior to Wei Renpu. He is thinner and has many wrinkles on his face. His small eyes are not turbid, but he is particularly energetic.
He seemed to see that Guo Shao had some doubts, so he went to the official office to talk alone.
Wang Pu was born as a civil servant, but because he had been dealing with military affairs in the Privy Council for a long time and spoke directly, he said simply: This is a good thing.
Guo Shao nodded quickly to answer.
Wang Pu said: The official knows that General Guo has a high prestige in the left wing of the Hujie Army and is very attractive in command, so he asked you to take the left wing of the Hujie Army to Qizhou.If you lead your army out and be the leader yourself, and don’t send anyone to restrain you, this is not the trust of the government.And who else is Qi Tuo? Don’t I know yet?
Guo Shao responded in response, speechless to this sentence. As expected, the emperor knew exactly what he was doing in the imperial guards and did not ask about it.
Wang Pu said again: General Guo’s troops will be stationed in Qizhou first. When the Northern Expedition begins, I will recommend you as the vanguard in the middle.
After hearing this, Guo Shao had to say: Thank you, Deputy Envoy Wang.
Wang Pu had no personal relationships with others, nor did he say much, so he said goodbye after he finished speaking.Guo Shao went out and sent him to the gate of the official office before returning.
Guo Shao couldn't say what he was feeling at this time, but thinking about it shouldn't be a bad thing... Wang Pu said little but to the point, and he made it very clear: First, letting him take the imperial guards out, giving military power is trust; then playing a forward in one direction is also an affirmation of his ability.
Qizhou?
Guo Shao recalled it roughly because he had drawn maps of Youzhou and other places and remembered the location of this place.
It is indeed near the border, and the north is Waqiao Pass (Xiong County). There is a city that is very solid in that place... Will the emperor order himself to directly engage in Waqiao Pass and chew passes when the Northern Expedition starts?
At this time, Guo Shao thought to himself: I hate attacking work!
But what is there to do? In the emperor's mind, his only value is to be able to seize the important town.
……
Another thing attracted Guo Shao's extra attention: Fu Ermei.
According to the adjustment order, we will leave Beijing before September; the main force of the Northern Expedition should advance by water and land, so we will not set out at least between February and March next year, and there will be about five,6 months and half a year in between... In addition, we don’t know how long it will take to fight in the war.
Guo Shao led his troops outside and left his beautiful wife in Tokyo for half a year?
If the emperor finds a reason to summon him, or if the second sister is caught by the emperor when she meets the talisman, wouldn’t she have many opportunities?
Guo Shao was very sure that Fu Ermei was a peerless beauty and everyone would covet her when they saw her; and Fu Ermei was the emperor's sister-in-law, and her preconceived thoughts made him always feel that the emperor might be thinking about his sister-in-law.
Sometimes he imagined the loving scene of the Empress Fu serving the emperor in the palace, and he felt very unhappy, but he had no choice because the queen had a name; now Fu Ermei is his woman, and it would be unbearable if she was still occupied.
Guo Shao completely believed in Fu Ermei, and her heart was all about her husband; the most important thing was to prevent such strong people in Tokyo, and he did not believe in the people of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin's family!
However, he soon came up with a solution: to send Fu Ermei back to her parents' home.
... Thinking of this, Guo Shao finally felt relieved.I was anxious to discuss this matter with Fu Ermei. As long as I settled Fu Ermei, he would have no worries and be prepared for the Northern Expedition.
Seeing Fu Ermei with a happy face, Guo Shao said helplessly: The court ordered me to lead the vanguard north before September and I had to go to war.
Fu Ermei's expression of joy froze on her face.
Seeing this, Guo Shao felt sad and continued: There is nearly a month left before September, but there is one more thing before going to war.I want to send you back to Daming Mansion to live for a while. After the war is over, I will go to Daming Mansion to pick you up. I feel relieved that my second sister stays by the King of Wei... It is not good to take my wife all the way to the army, so we have to go to Daming Mansion early and send you there. I will go back to Beijing to lead the troops before September.After this calculation, time is very urgent, so we'd better prepare for a departure in just a few days.
Fu Ermei held his hand and asked: How long does it take to fight?
Guo Shao sighed: I don’t know either.However, it is still half a year before the formal Northern Expedition, so we have to separate for a long time.
Fu Ermei suddenly felt depressed, as if she was so uncomfortable, and said quietly: How boring life would be without you.
Good days do always feel too short... Guo Shao said kindly, but I will write to you.
After hearing this, Fu Ermei suddenly felt a little energetic and raised her head to look at him with watery eyes: Then you must write to me frequently, I need your news to survive.Also, it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose in a war, but don’t be hurt anymore. Remember to take care of your life.
Guo Shaoqiang smiled and said: There are 20,000 people in the left wing of the Hujie Army under my command. I don’t have to worry about the general going up to fight.Generally, you will not lose your life in the battle formation. Instead, if you lose, your own people will be the most dangerous.
Fu Ermei said: I will pray to God every day to make you return with great victory.
Guo Shao touched her jade-white and straight nose and said: You are so beautiful, God will definitely spoil you extra.
Fu Ermei thought about it and said: I have to tell my sister that I am going back to Daming Mansion.We can't leave Tokyo without saying a word.
After hearing this, Guo Shao nodded and said: Don’t say anything else, just say you want to go back to your parents’ home and just send someone to send a letter to say goodbye.
The recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is of great significance from all aspects, and Guo Shao is willing to work hard for it; at the same time, it also helps Emperor Chai Rong complete his great cause, and is willing to please him and want to continue to maintain a place in the Zhou Dynasty.
