The thick smoke on the other side of the city wall filled the barracks in the wind, and the black smoke drifted in the air, and the entire sky seemed to be haze...just like Guo Shao's mood at this moment.
The smell of the black smoke is very strange. Guo Shao smelled an illusion, as if he was not in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but on the outskirts of modern heavy industrial cities. Because what I can smell in the air is a smell similar to car or factory exhaust gas mixed with the smell of burning plastic, which is very strange.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the Chinese Army's corridor, he saw the emperor in a purple round-necked official gown coming out of it. People who don't know may think that they have met some senior officials. The emperor's dress is not much different from that of the ministers around him. Then followed a group of civil and military.
Guo Shao hurriedly bowed down beside the road and shouted: "Guo Shao, the capital of the left side of the Jiehu Jiejun army, was ordered to lead his army to Huainan. See Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no boundaries."
"Flat body." Chai Rong replied casually. He obviously knew Guo Shao, I am afraid the impression is not superficial.
So Guo Shao got up from the ground and waited for the emperor and the ministers to pass first. There were several people in him who knew him, such as Li Chongjin. Before, Guo Shao and the generals of the guards had met more than when they confirmed the transfer order. Once; there is Shi Yan who is the tallest. Shi Yan was waiting for the guard Sima Bu, Guo Shao thought that he was Xiangdu School, not much different from him, so he jumped in behind Shi Yan and followed the crowd.
As soon as he left the camp gate, Chai Rong saw a pile of stones piled up outside. Without a word, he went up and picked up a large one, and walked forward quietly. Upon seeing this, the generals stepped forward to hug the stones, and Shi Yan picked the largest one. Helpless, Guo Shao also followed by holding the stone.
The scene became very funny in an instant. A large group of monarchs and ministers became porters, holding the stones to the side of a catapult and dropping them.
Chai Rong turned his head and looked at the Shouzhou Tower for a while, and said: "I will go to Chuzhou tomorrow, and Li Zhongjin will be deployed as the capital of Huainan; Shi Yan has merits and should be awarded the deputy commander of the Ma Infantry Army. Guo Shao..."
"The minister is here." Guo Shao hurriedly clasped his fists in response, lowering his head, feeling very bad.
Chai Rong said: "You are also meritorious. I will first give you a guard to wait for Sima Bu and serve as an envoy to Shouzhou. If you can take Shouzhou down, I will definitely reward you."
Emperor Jinkou Yuyan, he didn't ask if you would like it. Guo Shao bit his scalp and said: "The minister accepts the decree, Xie Madam Longen."
Why did this drudgery fall on me? If Shouzhou could be defeated, it would have been more than a month from the end of May to July. When the number of people was the largest, hundreds of thousands of people surrounded this area. Can surround and fight reinforcements, and then wait for the people in the city to eat up the food, and there is no way to surrender.
How long does it take to starve each other to death in a war?
The battle of Chuzhou seems to be won by Zhao Kuangyin, he should be in Chuzhou; Li Gu also said that the investigator learned that Yangzhou, the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, did not have much defense. Zhao Kuangyin would marry and participate in the battle of Yangzhou, right? This is simply a huge contribution to the door. Maybe you can wipe out a few Nantang reinforcements in the field... The Zhou Dynasty army is already strong in the field, and Zhao Kuangyin's people are almost sure to win.
Compared with the fat in Yangzhou, Guo Shao feels that Shouzhou is not even a bone, it is just a hard stone. Guo Shao was planning to come to Huainan to do his meritorious service. In this situation... he felt the deep malice in this world.
Chai Rong must have sent this kind of groundbreaking war to himself because he was not pleasing to his eyes. Guo Shao is now not only disappointed with Huainan and his party, but also worried and afraid in his heart... When he met Chai Rong, he couldn't help but reflect on his performance when he saved the empress in Chenzhou. At that time, my mental state was not good, my heart was anxious, and some words were wrong, especially when I showed my loyalty to the queen.
Guo Shao couldn't help but recall what he said at the time. Although those remarks sounded to show loyalty, if Chai Rong liked the queen very much, he would be jealous... When a man cares about his woman and loves her, he will be more possessive and cannot tolerate a little sand; When a man is free to give a woman freedom, it is not necessarily a good thing, because he feels that it doesn't matter anymore, he doesn't care about things anyway. For a queen like the Fu clan, Guo Shao felt that the emperor had no reason not to love her.
At this time, Guo Shao's heart became more and more scared. If Chai Rong really wanted to kill himself, he would just cut it off with a single sentence in his heart. Does he need any charges? Those little moves in Tokyo are also very dangerous, but Chai Rong is impossible to know.
He had to think of a sentence: Companing a monarch is like a tiger. Very scared in his heart, he thought: Be careful when attacking Shouzhou, this place is really Longtan Tiger Den.
The group patrolled the neighborhood, and Chai Rong got on his horse and went back. Li Chongjin stayed and said to Guo Shao, seeing that the sun was over, "I will take you to the front camp, and let Zhubu Wu recognize people in the future. In the future, the deployment of Shouzhou Siege will be handled by Guo Du. ."
Guo Shao thanked him, followed Shangfeng Li Zhongjin, mounted his horse and marched forward along the road. Li Zhongjin is in his thirties. He is of medium build, thin and strong, with an ordinary face with good features, a raised nose and a small beard on his mouth. He looks a little handsome in Guo Shao's aesthetics.
I didn't go far, and suddenly I saw a group of soldiers walking towards each other with a large group of people, at least a hundred. Li Zhongjin drank and asked, and one of the military commanders said: "These people are'soldiers' (soldiers who were eliminated during the rectification of the Forbidden Army and went to the field for half a farming and half war). We finally filled in a moat and let them take the ladder to attack the city. Unexpectedly, they turned around and escaped after a while, fearing military law, and wanted to run westward without authorization. At the end, the commander took the people back and sent them to the Chinese army to be ordered to deal with them."
Li Chongjin was furious and said: "Deserts are all cowards! The officials will kill if they know it. You don't have to go to the Chinese army, just do the Fa right there!"
These people who are **** are really not too strong, either they are older or short and not strong. A gray-headed veteran knelt down on the road and said with a choking voice: "The humble post has fought for most of his life, and he rarely escapes, but there is a way to die! That place is so big, and Tang soldiers gather on it. I was ready long ago, let alone unable to attack, even if I climbed to the top of the city, I was killed by a group of people! I didn't think I could climb up. As soon as I climbed the ladder, black oil was poured down on it. ......The fierce fire, oil and water can't be put out, it can only be burned alive!"
Guo Shao was miserable when he said that, with a weather-beaten appearance, and at a glance, he saw that he had suffered a lot in his life, but now he has to be cut off by his own people with humiliation. He felt compassion and was very uncomfortable.
Guo Shao stepped forward and saw that the black oil was still stained on the clothes of a soldier, so he rubbed a little with his fingers and smelled it in front of his nose... Isn't this oil? No wonder you smell exhaust gas in the thick smoke.
He couldn't help turning around and pleaded: "Li Dushi, can you forgive them once?"
Li Zhongjin looked embarrassed and snorted coldly: "How can military law be a trifling matter?"
Guo Shao said: "You give me a face, write down the sins of these people, and let them rush to the front when you have a chance, it will be considered dead."
The old man and a group of people all knelt to the ground after hearing this: "Give us another chance."
Li Chongjin stopped insisting and said: "You are the Shouzhou recruiter. In your love, these people are at your disposal! But Guo Dushi, we are the military commanders, how about the benevolence of women? Can you do something for the official family? How about doing it for yourself!" Li Zhongjin shook his head.
Guo Shao felt panic after hearing this.
……
Chai Rong has arranged the affairs of Shouzhou and decided to rush to Chuzhou tonight in advance to avoid delaying the fighter. He didn't think that Shouzhou could be attacked, but he needed someone to continuously put pressure on Shouzhou City and lure the reinforcements from Nantang to help, mainly to fight the reinforcements.
A siege general who puts pressure on is obviously not a good job, and he doesn't need to be very capable. The only people who can truly serve are those generals who used to fight reinforcements in the field, and those who attacked the weak links of Nantang...For example, this time he was about to attack Yangzhou.
The errand to fight Shouzhou came to Guo Shao. Chai Rong took care of it. He remembered that Guo Shao had participated in the Battle of Gaoping and the Battle of Jinyang. After the fight, Shu did a good job, but he felt a bit right. Can't stop him.
As for showing loyalty to the queen, although Chai Rong faintly feels unhappy...This is also the direct reason why he appointed Guo Shao Shouzhou to recruit envoys; but Chai Rong doesn’t care about it. The Fu clan has already had countless times with Li Shouzhen’s son. Anyone who has been a mistress, no matter what she does, she dare not give birth to a son for herself anyway. It is impossible to come to Fu Shi to have the guts.
Letting the queen in charge of the harem can save Chai Rong's worries, and Chai Rong also felt that she couldn't help her toss, so he planted an **** to stare at. Not to stare at the Fu clan, but to monitor other concubines, those who can give birth to themselves. Chai Rong felt that this was enough, because the concubines would also fight each other over jealousy and stare at each other.
If Guo Shao could work hard in Shouzhou City, Chai Rong would not embarrass him; after all, people in the court said that he was very talented in attacking Shu. Chai Rong needs such a person, and will not give it up for a little thought out of nothing. Guo Shao didn't do anything to actually embarrass the emperor. Chai Rong believed that his senses were prejudices of personal likes and dislikes... If it was completely according to his preferences, Chai Rong felt that he did not like Li Zhongjin even more.
Chai Rong sometimes speculates that Li Chongjin is the one who might actually threaten his power.
Even Li Chongjin can be reused. Chai Rong is too lazy and Guo Shao to think about it carefully... After so many years, Chai Rong’s wives, concubines and children were killed, and they may have been humiliated before death. If they care about these things He was already mad; and Chai Rong grew up in this era, knowing that power and force are the most important thing, and it’s nothing for the loser to be played with his wives and concubines in front of the whole world.
The emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Shi Zhonggui, was defeated, and his concubines were captured by the Khitan people and played in front of Shi Zhonggui. What could he do? Maybe those little concubines still think that other people's things are better than their own men's, who knows what they think. Chai Rong has long been numb to these things.
