It’s snowing. The snow in Jiangnan is not low enough, and it is a little wet. The small snowflakes are not floating in the air, but are falling down, not looking so melodious, and seemingly anxious and impatient.
Wang Pu was standing beside Guo Shao at this time, and the two were silently watching the snow in the sky and the wintersweets on the roadside.
But neither of them had any poetic and leisurely mood... In the war environment of enemy countries, one day after another, it seemed that no one could have any leisure interest.
Guo Shao deliberately observed the cluster of wintersweets on the roadside. The small white and red petals looked very delicate. Before they could fully bloom, they fell into the mud on the roadside in the wind and snow.
He had good eyesight and saw the stamens in the flowers, the color of the petals, and the trembling slightly in the cold wind. The scene in front of him was like a carefully presented macro camera.
Over the years, he has never looked at a branch of wintersweet or even other flowers and plants so carefully; let alone in his current impatient mood.
The same was true in the past. Guo Shao had to pay attention to more things, real things that concern life, and plum blossoms really cannot have any impact on his life. At most, when you see them by chance, you think: Hey, this flower is so beautiful.
That's all.
The plum blossom reminded him of a person and something.So he inexplicably fell into a faint emotion.
And that person will be seen soon, right?In what kind of scene will we meet again, and in what identity and attitude should we face it?
Guo Shao exhaled a long breath, raised his head and looked into the distance. Under the distant hillside, in the hazy wind and snow, several long black dragons were slowly crawling in the endless fields.
It was the Zhou army's troops on land, and countless people were heading towards Jiangning Prefecture, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to the north.
There are so many people in this place, but they seem quiet and ethereal.
History has embarked on a path of no return, but Guo Shao believes that what he did is right... For the living people he knows and can imagine, and for the future generations who are about to be born and live here.
Guo Shao does not think he is a genius or a talented person who surpasses everyone in the world; but he has something that surpasses the world, so he has secret power.
On this familiar land, when he stood on the high hills, he always felt that he had the responsibility to point a direction for his tribe members and a road leading to the sun.
Even this road is still full of blood and killing.
We're doing something big, right?Guo Shao turned his head and looked at Wang Pu and finally spoke.
Wang Pu retracted his gaze that looked up and said seriously: A major event that can be dipped in history.
Guo Shao nodded calmly and said: It’s strong wind here. If you stand for a long time, beware of the wind and cold. Let’s talk about it later when you go down the mountain.
So the group began to go down the mountain along the mountain road one after another. In this weather, they dared not ride horses in this way. Lu Chengyong walked behind and led Guo Shao's dark horse.
Guo Shao said along the way: Wang Envoy was slower and looked at the road beneath his feet. It was a bit slippery. The two looked like friends who had forgotten their age.
At this time, Guo Shao mentioned the topic just now: We are doing something big, but at this moment, it feels nothing special, just like today we are just going out for a walk, a look, and a talk; it is not at all like what historical records record.
Wang Pu smiled and said: History is the style of spring and autumn, so naturally we will not write about how we eat and walk, and how we appreciate the plums and snow.
Guo Shao said: I think history is like a specimen, and we live in life, so it will be different.
specimen?Wang Pu showed doubts on his face.
Guo Shao hurriedly wanted to explain, and a small petal of plum blossoms floated towards him. He quickly grabbed it in his hand and reached in front of Wang Pu and said: This is the flower that just fell from the tree.If you put it in a book and look it out next year to see what it looks like, it is a specimen.
After hearing this, Wang Pu suddenly realized, and after a moment, he felt thoughtful.Guo Shao looked at him calmly, thinking that these civil officials who can reach high positions have a high level of understanding.
After the crowd went down the mountain, the road was spacious, so they got on the horse and walked slowly and returned to the central army first.
The road is on the main road, and the road in the plains is very spacious.
On the left are four rows of infantry, or cavalry and horse-riding infantry; in the middle, there are spaces on the right for quick transmission of information between front and rear, or damaged vehicles temporarily dock to avoid affecting the march process of the entire army.
There were no rules for automobile traffic in ancient times, but people still arranged the grouping of people in an orderly manner.
At that time, a cavalry rushed over from the right side of the road. The knight on the horse looked up at the high flag of the central army, pulled the horse down, then jumped off the horse, said a few words to the generals of the central army, and walked towards Guo Shao with his horse.
Guo Shao heard General Cao's report, and then slapped his horse to the right, took the military newspaper from the messenger, and took it apart.
He browsed it and caught up with a large carriage from the central army and abandoned it.
Soon, Wang Pu, Zuo You, Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao and others also got on the carriage one after another.
Guo Shao handed the report in his hand to Wang Pu and took out two pictures from the package under the chair.
After reading it, Wang Pu said: The leader of Wu Yue sent troops to send troops from Zhongwu (Suzhou), followed Cao Bin's advice, and advanced along the canal with a large army, bluffing its momentum, and heading straight to Changzhou; then deployed with elite troops in the east.The Jiangyin defenders of the Southern Tang Dynasty were indeed dispatched to rescue Changzhou. They were ambushed by the Wu Yue army halfway, and were defeated and the entire army was completely damaged.The elite troops of Wu and Yue took advantage of the situation to capture Jiangyin and formed a siege against Changzhou.
Guo Shao picked up the brush and licked it on his tongue, drew arrows and circles on the picture, and wrote a few words on the booklet.
Li Chuyun said: Changzhou is the southern gateway to Jingkou. If you break Changzhou, you can go directly to Runzhou (Zhenjiang) and Jingkou Shuizhai along the canal, which will inevitably shock the Southern Tang army in Runzhou and even Jiangning Prefecture.The previous strategy of "speaking east and attacking west" was to distract Jiangning Prefecture from its attention and put pressure on the Southern Tang Capital, with the target of attacking the Southern Tang Navy at Jingkou.The Wu Yue army's movements were of great benefit to the general principles. The last general suggested sending an envoy to the Wu Yue army to commend his commander.
Wang Pu said: Attached to General Li’s proposal, the Great Zhou army lacked military strength, and the Wu and Yue army heading north was a timely help.
Guo Shao turned to look at Zuo You, and Zuo You said: Cao Bin did not lead troops this time, but he made great contributions to the mission to Wu Yue.
Guo Shao nodded, licked the tip of his pen again and wrote two words, and then looked at Shi Yanchao again.
Shi Yanchao glanced at Li Chuyun and hummed: What do I have to say?Anyway, the above people are all from Shuai Guo. You can do whatever you want. Have you ever used the method I mentioned?
The faces of the people present changed, and Shi Yanchao's words sometimes made him really harsh.Several people looked sideways and silently paid attention to Guo Shao's reaction.
Guo Shao held the brush, looked down at the wooden base and was silent for a while. Finally, he raised his head and looked directly at Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao's courage was real, and he did not avoid Guo Shao's gaze at all.
Guo Shao's heart was sincere. He believed that his eyes were also sincere at this time, because didn't it mean that the eyes were the window of the soul?
General Shi, you are wrong, but I won’t care about you just because of what you say.
There are places where people, especially the power field, may not necessarily form cliques, but there must be circles, similar to the "clusterism" mentioned by Master Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty.
We are human beings, so we have our own preferences and like-minded friends, but we will fall into party struggles by determining merits and demerits by just relationships.
Party struggles are definitely not conducive to the entire country's ability to play.
Those of us here are not just about being rich and wealthy, and we still have more dreams and big things to do.
To accomplish things and realize the ambitions of the entire Jiuzhou clan, I have to try my best to avoid internal strife, so General Shi is relieved that I will not judge a person because of some irrelevant things.
General Shi has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty many times in the battle formation, so you should have your unshakable position in the court and have room for speech.I remember what you did for the country, and this is also the only criterion for measuring a person here.The reason why General Shi’s proposal was not adopted is because I think it is slightly skewed from the overall situation, that’s it.
After saying that, Guo Shao smiled relaxedly: Actually, I still respect General Shi in private, I am very straightforward and understand the rules of the military.
After hearing this, Shi Yanchao looked a little embarrassed, and reached out to rub his forehead and kept rubbing it, unable to say a word.
At this time, Guo Shao noticed that not only Shi Yanchao, the martial artist, was convinced, but the people around him all looked at him with respect.Using Han Yu's fritish theory as an argument can convince civil officials of this era.
In fact, Guo Shao seemed to have read that article before, but he forgot all of it. He only read it temporarily at his home in Tokyo not long ago.He is a self-study person, and this is indeed a strength he has also realized.
Some things were truly understood only when he reached the point of view. A practice called like-mindedness in later generations was still applicable to ancient times: using a bright idea to unite people's hearts is more wise than simply party-to-party struggle against differences.
Guo Shao did not completely use it as a tool in his heart. He did believe that people in the world like sunny side, and he also wanted to do so.
Everyone was pondering Guo Shao's words, and he said again: General Li should order the main force of the navy on the river to follow the land army and press forward to Jiangning Prefecture.
Li Chuyun clasped his fists and said: I understand.
Guo Shao then picked up the curtain and looked outside.
The wheel hubs of various vehicles made different sounds, and people's footsteps were messy and loose, but not many people spoke, and the road was not easy to walk on. In addition, the soldiers had a look of fatigue on their faces after several days of marching and fighting.
It is not a problem to marching during the day to prevent cold. The temperature in the north is much lower than that in the south of the Yangtze River. People can still adapt to the cold and walk and marching will also warm their bodies.
However, the wind and snow were still very irritating when blowing on the face and neck. Many soldiers wrapped their necks with dirty shoulder scarves, just like wearing scarves.
Guo Shao looked at everything carefully and said nothing for a long time.
Wang Pu was standing beside Guo Shao at this time, and the two were silently watching the snow in the sky and the wintersweets on the roadside.
But neither of them had any poetic and leisurely mood... In the war environment of enemy countries, one day after another, it seemed that no one could have any leisure interest.
