Chapter 451 Sacrifice (Five)

The singing girls sent by the Southern Tang Kingdom will dance tonight. Let’s hold a banquet in the big tent, so you can set up a place.Guo Shao walked outside the nearby central army tent and suddenly turned around and said something to the generals beside him.

Lu Chengyong had no expression on his face and clasped his fists hard and said, "I understand."

When Guo Shao raised his head, he was the first to see a square tiger-embroidered square flag hanging on the high flagpole, and wrote: The Grand Marshal Guo of the World in front of the palace was inspected.

The red flag material and gold thread embroidery are particularly eye-catching under the pale sky. The gray clouds and small snowflakes are floating in the sky, like falling white petals.

The Central Army's tent is larger than all the surrounding tents and has different shapes. Only this tent is round like a granary.

Guo Shao walked to the door, and the two rows of soldiers spread their legs and lifted the cherry gun upwards to show their respect.Guo Shao also nodded to them, but the other generals around him ignored the pawns standing on the ward.

As soon as I entered the big tent, I saw a wide and empty space. This is the place where the generals of the Central Army or discuss military affairs, which is equivalent to the lobby of the government office; there is a chair above and some thick wooden benches on both sides.

But there was no war today. The generals were all in their respective barracks, and there was no one inside, which seemed very empty.

There was no one on the big tent. Guo Shao carried a sack with paper, walked around the chair in the upper position, lifted the curtain and walked in.

There is a slightly cramped place inside, with a wooden table and bench. These things are roughly made, the materials are new wood, and they are made by craftsmen after camping.

Guo Shao threw the sack on the table, turned around, and there were many small notes on a erect blackboard.

The note at the highest point reads Li Yu, and the names of characters such as Liu Cheng, Chen Qiao, Han Xizai are below, which are placed in different positions and are connected by lines in the middle.

There is also a map hanging on the right side of the wooden board.

Guo Shao stood there, looking at the names without saying a word, then turned to look at the map, and found the place in Jingkou skillfully.

At this time, someone said carefully outside the door: Lord, General Li is in.

Um.Guo Shao made a sound without looking back.

Soon, Li Chuyun lifted the curtain and came in.Guo Shao turned his back to his back, but knew that Li Chuyun was standing there and he was not sitting. General Li and Shi Yanchao had completely different personalities. He knew very well.

General Li asked to sit down.Guo Shao said something before turning around.

Then Li Chuyun clasped his fists and said: Pay homage to the lord.

Guo Shao bowed slightly, found a wooden bench to sit down, and said: The deployment of Liu Cheng in the east of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very average in his knowledge and ability; a while ago, Cao Bin followed the Wu Yue army westward, and used a little trick to make him lose two important cities, which shows that Liu Cheng was just a person like Er.

Li Chuyun nodded and said yes.

Guo Shao also said: During this period when this person was restraining the Jingkou Navy, we launched the Jingkou War, and the timing was very appropriate.

Li Chuyun said: There have been some secret reports on Jiangning Mansion’s detailed work recently. I have seen it when Wang Envoy (Wang Pu) came here. Have you ever seen it?

Guo Shao nodded.

Li Chuyun stroked a handful of black and strong bearded man and said: After Lin Renzhao was defeated and returned to Jiangning, Liu Cheng once added trouble, and Lin and Liu had a gap; Chen Qiao (Guang Zhengyuan assisted the government) had a good relationship with Lin Renzhao.From this, it can be speculated that Chen Qiao may have attacked Liu Cheng in the court, and it is impossible to predict whether Liu Cheng would lose his military power in the east.

General Li made sense.Guo Shao nodded and looked back at the notes. However, it is said that Li Yu trusted Liu Cheng very much, and it was also Li Yu's order to take office as the East.After all, Chen Qiao is a minister, and it is not easy to attack the commander appointed by the king.

Li Chuyun pondered: Li Yu is a man of modest appearance, but not like a docile person... He is in the deep palace and is a little inadequate in the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he will not submit easily.What the lord said was very true, and I am afraid he would not completely obey the minister.

When Li Chuyun said this, he thought to himself that it was the Southern Tang peacekeeping envoy and the singing girls suspected of assassins.

I heard that Guo Shao stayed in the tent last night. At that time, Zuo You strongly advised and disobeyed Guo Shao to stay in his tent all night, which was basically a bad thing for others. Zuo You was very nervous about Guo Shao's safety, and there was nothing wrong with him doing that.

Li Chuyun actually cares about Guo Shao's safety. Guo Shao is the core figure in this circle, so who doesn't care?

But Li Chuyun did not persuade him as loyally as Zuo You.

Because he felt that Guo Shao had probably been calculating about his actions...what kind of person is Guo Shao?

Li Chuyun looked up and saw the notes and maps posted on the wooden board. The meticulous and cautious people were very thoughtful about the countless trivial things in the entire battle.

Will such people not be able to see the hidden dangers of those people?

Li Chuyun guessed that staying in the singing girl was not only Guo Shao's confidence in his own vision of knowing people, but also showing trust and love for the woman, but the most important thing was to conclude that someone would persuade her.

How can the civil and military officials around you sit still and watch?

This is true, Zuo You played that role.

But Guo Shao also has his own character, and he does have the character of using people without doubt, so Li Chuyun and others are actually very peaceful in their plans under him and have almost never been suspicious.

Li Chuyun led his troops and was boldly appointed as the right to make decisions on the spot.

No one can say whether Guo Shao's approach is a strength or a weakness.

...At this time, Zuo You and Dong Zunhui also came in, and Guo Shao said casually: Mr. Zuo is quite capable, and he is not sleepy now?

Then what came in was Shi Yanchao, and the small room suddenly became lively.It’s strange to think that there is a big place outside that doesn’t stay there, and a group of people are crowding in this place because Guo Shao comes here first.

Shi Yanchao said: I heard that Wang Pu will arrive at the military camp tomorrow?

Li Chuyun didn't say anything, and Zuo You responded.

Although Shi Yanchao only calls Wang Pu's name, he is still respectful when he sees it. There are really all kinds of strange things in the world. Wang Pu and Shi Yanchao are both difficult people among the civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty. However, Shi Yanchao, a big man with a thorn all over his body, rarely had conflicts with Wang Pu, and he was polite to speak. He still remembers when Wang Pu came.

Guo Shao heard it and thought that people like Shi Yanchao may be typical of ordinary arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. He is not just disobeying the rules, but only respecting people who he thinks are strong.

Although Wang Pu is a civil servant, he is obviously not a person with false reputation. Shi Yanchao is quite aware of the rash man.

The group started to talk about it one after another because Guo Shao himself did not say anything.

The people around were talking about military affairs, mainly the war of words that were being deployed.

Guo Shao was a little distracted for a moment. He thought of Zhou Xian again. Although this woman could not be compared with the Fu sisters, she was indeed a woman who made him very concerned about.

How to get Zhou Xian is a test of your hard work.

Of course, it is very simple to possess her. Just like the way people in the world do things, they can imprison women directly. Then isn’t the ethics of the courtyard that deeply obeys and four virtues just to imprison women?

But if you do this, you will never get something she really has; if a woman is reluctant, it will be difficult for her to show her charming side.

Guo Shao has always believed that the highest pleasure lies in emotions.Otherwise, the process of letting her lie straight on the bed and endure insults is no different from a doll?

For a moment, he was also distracted in the army, and Zhou Xian's pretty gentleness and careful service appeared in his mind... This woman was born with something that inspires a man's feelings for a man. She would inflate herself in front of her and couldn't help but want to take care of her.

There were other good things that made Guo Shao think of. He thought of some warm and soft place. His heart seemed to be touched by a rough brush; and her unbearable performance, so Guo Shao felt that he was extremely strong.

Guo Shao breathed out and thought about the banquet tonight. If there were indeed assassins among these people, it would be better to give them a chance to be exposed.

In this way, Jiangning Mansion cannot blame Zhou Xian and others for his responsibility; it is a matter of loyalty at all times, and no one can be sure whether he succeeds or not.

The pressure Zhou Xian faces in the future should be reduced... Guo Shao understands that a person is not an independent existence when he lives. She has various identities and concerns.

Moreover, until now, he was still confused and surprised by the fact that Li Yu had the courage to send an assassin, and he was still unable to confirm the reliability of those signs.
