The sunlight penetrated through the rope-woven curtains in front of the wooden window, sprinkling on the table to form mottled horizontal bars.
Guo Shao has moved his office and moved from the west side of Jinxiang Hall to the east side.
This location is very good in summer, with light in the morning and shade in the afternoon, not as hot as the west.
This place has been repaired and very spacious.
The place where Guo Shao sat is the office study. There is a spacious house on the north side, which not only allows stickers and storing military machine files, but also allows you to rest nearby.
There is a door on the west side, and there is another house when going out, and there is a back door. Guo Shao can privately summon ministers in that room, and there is no need to pass through the front main door.
On the south side is the office of the cabinet assistant, and there are ear rooms around it for the Inspectors to store things and rest... At the front are officials on duty sent to do miscellaneous tasks, such as the Hanlin Academy and the Political Affairs Hall.
Guo Shao is reading a file, written by the detailed leader who fled back from Jinyang a while ago, some of the situation in Jinyang.
But they stayed for too short, and a lot of information was just a rough idea and not detailed.
Guo Shao searched for a long time, but he did not find a detailed description of Fen River and Jinyang City... He checked this thing and just saw a memorial. Someone suggested digging out Fen River and attacking Jinyang City.
There are also people who wrote a letter to use gunpowder to bomb the city, similar to the method of conquering Shouzhou.
...But Guo Shao feels that the same trick may not work this time.
First of all, the walls of Jinyang City are thicker and stronger than Shouzhou. Although Shouzhou is also an important town in the south, its walls are obviously not as good as those of Jinyang (Shouchun was rebuilt in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the thickness before was not as thick as later).
Jinyang cannot be compared with that. It is reported that the stones that lay the foundation are all built one meter high!
The bottom wall is about twenty steps thick!
Guo Shao thought to himself: The brick-covered earth wall with a thickness of more than 20 meters, and there is a stone foundation of more than three meters high below. Can black gunpowder explode?
Theoretically, as long as there is enough gunpowder, it should be possible, but this requires that the authentic Tibetan medicine room has a larger space and the underground engineering is more difficult to carry out.
Moreover, the exploded gap is very likely not as easy as the gap in Shouzhou City, and even the horse can run into it; it may just collapse, and the rammed earth bricks and stones are blocked in the gap.
The most deadly place was Zhao Kuangyin in the Northern Han Kingdom. He knew and attached great importance to gunpowder bombing. Otherwise, he would not learn to attack Jinzhou... This time, the bombing of the city may not be as unexpected as Shouzhou, and the Northern Han defenders should be prepared.
Guo Shao thought about it for a while, but still felt very worried.
Jinyang, Jinyang... He chanted twice in a low voice, turned around and looked at the brush lines on the map.
The Northern Han Kingdom was much smaller than the Southern Tang Dynasty and Shu Kingdoms, but this place really made Guo Shao worry.
Before the demise of the southern countries, there were many internal problems, and the soldiers were unbearable to fight, and attacking had great benefits; the Northern Han Kingdom was just the opposite, very much like a hard bone without meat.
But this hard bone must be taken down, otherwise the foundation structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be able to be opened.
Guo Shao was very worried and unhappy.This wedge-like thing is stuffed there, like a stone blocking the ideal!
Another wish, if Jinyang is conquered this time, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not be allowed to run away!
At this moment, Zuo You's voice at the entrance of the study room said: I have something to report to Your Majesty.
Guo Shao looked up and said: Come in and speak.
Zuo You walked to the imperial case, bent down and put two memorials up, and said: I just saw the memorial, from Xiongzhou, Hebei.General Fu (Zhao Xu) has expelled the Liao army from Hebei and strengthened its defense in the three prefectures of Xiong, Ba and Yi; he requested the order of the guards of the Long Jie Army to return to the left wing of Xiangzhou.
After hearing this, Guo Shao nodded in response. He and the court officials had expected such a result.The Liao army in Youzhou has limited troops and cannot be willing to confront the Zhou army on the territory of Hebei Dazhou.
Zuo You said again: This is a letter from the King of Wei (Fu Yanqing) of Daming Prefecture, and I would like to come to the capital to congratulate you.
After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself that some places of military governors would not come, just like the Zhe family in the northwest and Li Yun in Hedong. If they were ordered to come to Beijing, they might also arouse suspicion.
But Fu Yanqing, the warlord, was different and took the initiative to come to congratulate him; after all, both daughters were queens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Guo Shao said: I personally approve the request from the King of Wei.In addition, someone asked someone to issue an order to send Fu Zhaoxu to the left wing of the Long Jie Army to return to Xiangzhou; and asked Fu Zhaoxu to come to Beijing to meet him and talk about his achievements in Hebei.
I obey the order.Zuo You bowed.
...When Guo Shao named his son, Fu Ermei's son was called "博", which is an uncommonly used word. He also had some thoughts: If Fu Ermei's son inherited the throne in the future, it would save trouble and avoid taboos in the world; anyway, the emperor's name is basically not used, but in fact it is not available, so who can call the emperor's name directly?
His inner choice for his two sons was, one because Guo Hong was the legitimate son, and the other was that he felt that the Fu family was more reliable.But if Fu Jinzhan also gave birth to a son, Guo Shao has not considered it clearly now.
After the world was in power, Guo Shao went to Zide Hall for dinner.When they met the Fu sisters and Li Yuan'er, they talked about the fact that both the Fu family's father and brother were going to Beijing during the meal.
As usual, Fu Ermei and Li Yuan'er accompanied her to drink tea for a while after dinner and then left first.
Guo Shao wanted to talk about state affairs separately with Fu Jinzhan. Of course, they were not alone and widowed. There were people walking around in the open hall behind the dining room.
It was another dusk, and Guo Shao sat here and talked several times.
He did mention the serious matter: After the death of the late emperor, the two Li rebelled, and Fu Zhaoxu took personal risk to retrieve the head of Li Jixun's eldest son in Luzhou, avoiding the alliance between Li Yun and the two Li, and making contributions to the country.This time, he led his army to expel the Liao army and set up another attack... But he never made any real military achievements in the battle formation. If he had established a festival like this, he might have been criticized in the army.
Fu Jinzhan listened carefully.
Guo Shao continued: Now the governor of the newly established festival basically has no real power.But for a long time, the establishment of the festival has been a symbol of military men entering the ranks of senior military generals and is still very useful.
What I mean, the court recently wanted to use troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, so that Fu Zhaoxu could take advantage of the limelight of expelling the Liao army and lead the troops to fight this battle.
Fu Jinzhan had not interrupted her. She waited patiently for Guo Shao to finish her words, and then she said: Your Majesty is very true, but I have something to do. Why does Your Majesty want to cultivate Zhaoxu specifically?
Guo Shao was silent for a while and whispered: Although the King of Wei is prestige, he is already old. Although there are many military generals in the Fu family, he still lacks a truly powerful general.
He paused, "The world is unpredictable. If I have any accidents, I hope Jinzhan can use more strength in his hands.
Fu Jinzhan's face changed and she looked at him and shook her head: You still don't understand...
Don't understand what?Guo Shao asked casually.
Fu Jinzhan said in a deep voice: You are the emperor, but you are not the whole world.
But... Guo Shao was a little puzzled.
Fu Jinzhan said softly: People don’t want to go back.
Guo Shao has moved his office and moved from the west side of Jinxiang Hall to the east side.
This location is very good in summer, with light in the morning and shade in the afternoon, not as hot as the west.
