Chapter 633 Hovering

The afterglow of joy was like the wet sweat on her face, sticking a few messy black hairs to her face.Mrs. Huarui's tone was slightly complaining: It hurts just now.

Guo Shao stroked her smooth and round shoulders with his palms and joked with a smile.Sure enough, as long as there is a skin friendship between men and women, they can get closer, and the difference in identity will be greatly eliminated.

Mrs. Huarui blushed and whispered: Since I arrived in Tokyo, I have never had sex with him, maybe it hasn't been there for too long...

After hearing this, Guo Shao pondered for a long time and said: It is not a good thing to wander around. I sent someone who can trust to give Meng Chang a glass of poisonous wine, and then claimed that he died suddenly.

After Guo Shao finished speaking, he felt that his consideration was reasonable.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Huarui suddenly lost her appearance and her body trembled: Your Majesty, for my sake, please forgive him for his life...

Her reaction was very strong, and Guo Shao was also stunned and said in confusion: Things are already like this. Instead of being in a dilemma, it is better to go with the flow.There is nothing to hesitate about. What I picked up is the meat and what I lost is the bone.

Mrs. Huarui looked so beautiful that she even shed tears.

Seeing this, Guo Shao felt at a loss and hurriedly comforted him: Don’t cry for now, I haven’t done anything yet. If you have any ideas, I don’t want to force you.

Mrs. Huarui choked and said: Even if the Duke of Qin is wrong, I can't harm him.Back then, I was humble in my status and was favored by the Duke of Qin... He also built a crystal palace for me by the Mohe Pond, and I was very kind.How can I repay kindness with grudges?

Guo Shao followed her words and thought: It seems that Meng Chang is indeed better for her.

I did nothing, but saw her beautiful before, and then I was lucky. As for the small care after the capture of Shu Kingdom, it was for the sake of Jing Niang, and those help was nothing in comparison.

He asked himself that he really couldn't do anything about Meng Chang as much as Meng Chang.Specializing in the Crystal Palace?Although the Zhou treasury is not short of money now, it is necessary to fight between the north and the south, so it is impossible to spend a lot of money on such matters.

For a moment, Guo Shao really felt very subtle, as if he should be better to Mrs. Huarui than Meng Chang...

Guo Shao couldn't help but speculate on Mrs. Huarui's thoughts, and shook his head slightly.He thought to himself: No excuse can cover up a fact, Mrs. Huarui is not worth a lot of weight in his heart.

The hardest person to get is probably because of someone in his heart.

Guo Shao was silent for a while and said: Then I will not touch Meng Chang.You can rest assured. I said I wanted to kill him because I felt that my wife was in an awkward situation... If I killed Meng Chang, everything would be simple.

Mrs. Huarui no longer had the joy she had just now and sighed quietly.

After a while, she said with sorrow: It’s just a blaming that she didn’t meet Your Majesty earlier.

After saying that, she struggled from Guo Shao's arms and began to dress.

Guo Shao asked: What is the wife going to do?

Mrs. Huarui said: I have to rush back while it’s not dark.

Is this useful?Guo Shao said casually, he was referring to concealment.

Mrs. Huarui's delicate and helpless look: I don't know what to do... I will always be better if I don't stay overnight?I thank Your Majesty for your love for the coming of my life, but people's words are terrifying.

Mrs. Huarui sighed quietly, cleaned up, and said at the door: Please let Your Majesty know that I will say goodbye.

Guo Shao sat up and said: What do you need from your wife? Tell Jingniang.

Thank you Your Majesty.Mrs. Huarui said.After saying that, she left the bedroom and her skirt quickly disappeared by the door.

Guo Shao looked at it in a daze, and the afterimage of her figure remained in his mind for a while.

He couldn't resist the temptation, and with his current situation, there seemed to be no need to resist the temptation. He suddenly felt that the joy this afternoon was left with emptiness.

He was thinking about what happened just now... It would be impossible to kill Meng Chang and ask Mrs. Huarui to agree, and she could not agree.

He has to bear this responsibility.

But he was really sad when he saw Mrs. Huarui, and somehow he always felt that it was difficult to start now.

At this time, the sun sets and it is not dark yet.According to Guo Shao's usual routine, he didn't sleep so early.

At this moment, Yulian walked to the door and said: The beauty has left. Is Your Majesty going to get up for dinner?I will serve you to change your clothes.

Guo Shao heard her tone and looked at her face, as if he was angry.

Yulian stepped forward to dress Guo Shao, and said in a depressed manner: I made dinner, I am not that particular, I don’t know if I can get into your Majesty’s mouth.

Guo Shao said: The lunch meal was really delicious, but what I want to eat every day is Yulian’s meal.

Yulian said: Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, you are unwilling to say bad things in front of us.

Guo Shao reached out and held her hand: Yulian...

Yulian looked down at her caught hand and responded softly: Huh?

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, but carefully touched the calluses left on her palm and said softly: Every little thing is the truth.

Yulian pursed her red lips and lowered her head without saying a word.

Guo Shao stood up and said: I'll do something more, Yulian will take care of her bed at night.

Yulian whispered: Your Majesty’s health is important.

Guo Shao laughed and walked out of the bedroom.

He continued to read the strategies presented by the ministers and had various ways to deal with the Liao Kingdom.Although the court's national policy has begun to be adjusted and the Northern Expedition has been temporarily abandoned, the Northern Expedition is still a long-term important matter.

He has been thinking about this all these days.The restlessness and turmoil in his mood was only temporary, and now he gradually calmed down.

Sometimes, things in the world are really just a circle.After a long walk, you will still return to the starting point.

Guo Shao picked up his thoughts last year again: in the competition with the Liao Kingdom, the strength of the force is still the strength of the force; and force must be transformed through national strength.

At that time, he remembered that he had written down this idea, but he had too many books and was sloppy.Now he is unwilling to search for the archive room again, and reconceive it based on his memory.

The Great Zhou has a large population, arable land and materials.After occupying the two major powers, Shu Kingdom and Southern Tang Kingdom, their overall national strength should surpass that of the Liao Kingdom, which has the Bohai Sea, Liaodong and Youyun.

But force still has a disadvantage.

The Great Zhou could count the number of troops that could fight, with more than 100,000 imperial guards strong in combat. In addition, the surrendered troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which were not very strong in field battles, the German army, the Jiannan army in Shu, the Hedong army, and the remaining troops of some vassal states.

And most of them are infantry.

The Liao Kingdom had a large number of cavalry and herdsmen who were prone to becoming cavalrymen.

The military method of the Han Dynasty to deal with the Huns was to raise a large number of horses and expand the cavalry... There were no stirrups at that time.

Guo Shao felt that it was difficult to completely copy the method of converting military power in the Han Dynasty. At this time, the Central Plains may not have the cohesion of the period of Emperor Wu of Han, and may not be able to withstand decades of tossing.

With the help of crossbows and firearms, converting population and national strength into military forces is the fastest way.

Because of the use of crossbows and firearms, it almost doesn't take too long to train.

A group of strong men can learn to use this weapon in half a month; they can form an army in a few months.

Among them, the cost of crossbows is high, but the range is much longer, and the crossbow soldiers are more combat-effective; at this time, the distance between the firearms in the firearms is only twenty or thirty steps, and the range is too close, but the bronze gun is much cheaper than making crossbows.

A group of soldiers holding crossbows and firearms and wearing armor, even if they are not elite, are quite combat-effective.As for how infantry fights cavalry, it is a tactical issue... as long as there are enough numbers.

Guo Shao is not sure whether this road can be done now.Otherwise, he would not have launched the Northern Expedition at the beginning of this year.

A whole set of ideas quickly took shape in Guo Shao's mind. He hurriedly picked up the brush and wrote down some ideas.

……

The next morning, Guo Shao proposed his own strategy to Zhu Wenwu in the Convention Hall.First, we went to the northwest to expropriate a batch of war horses to expand the imperial guards and cavalry.Second, launch a war against the Southern Han Dynasty.

When conquering the Southern Han Kingdom, Guo Shao's idea was that he did not have to mobilize a large army from the north.Instead, we asked all regions to recruit young and strong people, build new camps in the south of the Yangtze River, and use new troops to conquer the Southern Han Kingdom.

After hearing this, the ministers were puzzled, but no one immediately raised objections.After all, it was the emperor who personally advocated it, not the ministers' advice.

However, there are still many complaints.

The Southern Han Kingdom had no army that could fight. It took too long to re-establish and train the army to fight such a country. In addition, although the Southern Han Kingdom had to rely entirely on a group of civilians, it would be difficult to destroy the country.

Guo Shao thought that such a big national policy, from building weapons to adjusting animal resources and civilian power, requires the participation of the entire court and cannot keep the ministers confidential.

All the central ministers present, so he spoke: The Southern Han Kingdom is not a problem, and the main goal is to launch a war against it, not to destroy the country and recover the land; but to train troops.

Everyone almost held their breath after hearing this.

Guo Shao said seriously: The Northern Expedition requires more troops, and the national treasury is burdened with heavy burdens and insufficient troops.I want to try to restore the Tang Dynasty's government system and replenish soldiers through the states.These soldiers were mainly equipped with infantry soldiers with crossbows and firearms.

First, establish a large camp and train equipment, and then go south to attack the Southern Han Kingdom. One can test the combat power of the palace soldiers; the other can also train troops.The best way to get elite soldiers is to fight wars and fight wars frequently.

After hearing this, the ministers were talking for a while. After all, it was involved in changing the military system and alarming the major issues in various places. People also had some doubts and admonitions, mainly to increase the burden on the people and to prevent civil unrest and uprisings.

Someone advised him, but Guo Shao was not angry and said: The strategy I just thought about must be lacking in perfection. If you have any suggestions, you can write a letter to talk about the matter from now on.

Everyone bowed together: I will obey the order.

Guo Shao is full of expectations for this strategy and currently thinks it is a new path to find.

As long as you get the support of civil and military officials for a while, you can try to do it... Although the emperor is arbitrary, he still has to rely on various yamen to carry out everything; if too many people do not support it, it will not be smooth.

So Guo Shao still hopes that the ministers can truly agree with his strategy.
