Chapter 313: The King's Urgency

However, for Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, who already has sufficient experience in marching, this is not a particularly tricky matter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

If there is no water source in the area, then he can organize people to boil the snow into water, which only needs to settle for a while and remove the impurities before drinking.

The snow in the countryside is relatively clean, so there are not many impurities, and you can drink it immediately even if it is freshly cooked. If it weren't for the hurry, it would be a pleasure to make snow tea in the countryside.

When Guo Mao thought about it like this, he suddenly felt that his thirst became more and more serious, so he kept turning over.

Liang Gongyuan, who was still asleep, was finally woken up and hurriedly asked, "Adults can't sleep?" ”

Guo Mao lucked his luck and said, "It's okay." ”

Liang Gongyuan knew from his tone that this was not the case, so he asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

"I want to drink water." Guo Mao replied honestly.

Liang Gongyuan hurriedly sat up and said, "Then I'll go and install it for you on the next horse." ”

Guo Mao completely trusted Liang Gongyuan, so he nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Liang Gongyuan hurriedly put on his coat, took Guo Mao's kettle and his own kettle and walked out of the tent.

The tent of the logistics department is set up in the northeast corner, and at this time someone has already gotten up to cook, and the fragrance of porridge spreads with the spring breeze, making people feel a little warmth of home.

Liang Gongyuan strode towards there.

"Is there still more water?" Liang Gongyuan asked the person in charge of the logistics department after filling two pots of water.

"And five more barrels." The head of logistics replied respectfully.

"Then let's boil the snow, and we must make sure we have thirty buckets of water when we get on the road." Liang Gongyuan said.

"Yes." The person in charge hurriedly arranged for someone to cook the snow.

Liang Gongyuan hurriedly returned to his tent with two large pots of water.

Guo Mao finally felt much more comfortable after taking a big sip of half a pot of water, and was ready to get up.

"It's not dawn yet, so let's lie down for a while." Liang Gongyuan said busily.

It was windy and snowy, and the sky was dark, and even if he got up, he couldn't do anything, not to mention that the soldiers were all asleep.

Guo Mao thought about it and thought it was the same, so he lay down again. But he couldn't sleep, so he said to Liang Gongyuan: "I can't sleep, you can chat with me." ”

"Okay."

"Zhang Zhaoyi, I'm still very worried about it." Guo Mao said.

She felt that although Zhang Zhaoyi was smart, she was not a person with a lofty pattern and a very high realm after all, so it was still a little difficult for her to completely enter the emperor's heart.

"What are you worried about?" Liang Gongyuan hurriedly asked.

"A generation of kings, what kind of beauty has he never seen? If you just use beauty/sex to lure/seduc, then this road becomes extremely dangerous. The one who can really win the heart of the king should be Queen Jingzhuang, who can afford to be the emperor's soul mate, and has the appearance of captivating the country and the city. But even a beautiful woman like Queen Jingzhuang is still a little lacking in strategy and vision. Looking at the country, it has been a long time since there has been a woman with a way of strategy, a vision of the general, and the appearance of a captivating city. Guo Mao sighed.

Liang Gongyuan smiled and said, "My lord, with all due respect, are you looking for a second Wu Cao?" In fact, as long as this woman is exactly what His Majesty wants, it is enough, and there is no need to look for it according to a set of very high standards, then I am afraid that nine times out of ten it will be in vain. ”

"But don't you think the emperor's obsession with Zhang Zhaoyi is more because Zhang Zhaoyi is young and beautiful?" Guo Mao asked again.

"So what? At least the emperor likes her like this now, and likes it so much that even the queen mother and the imperial concubine rarely go, this is her victory, even if it is staged, it may not be a good thing, not to mention that what we want is for her to be favored at this stage? As for what will happen in a few years, no one can say for sure. ”

Guo Mao smiled and said, "I really don't worry so much when you say that." ”

Liang Gongyuan also smiled: "Well, don't worry too much, anyway, the water will naturally go straight to the bow of the boat, and everything will be done when the opportunity arises." ”

Before he knew it, the sky outside brightened, and Guo Mao immediately put on his clothes and got up.

Liang Gongyuan also got up immediately.

The two walked out together.

After all, he was a man with rich experience in marching, and under the command and leadership of Guo Mao and the generals, 150,000 soldiers safely left the snow-capped mountains and walked into the plains.

After that, the road was much easier.

After ten days and ten nights, Guo Mao's 150,000 soldiers arrived at the desert border.

About two hours later, the 150,000 soldiers led by Zheng Yusong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, also arrived.

After the two armies met, Guo Mao immediately sent people to fight with the Tatar leader Xiao Er. Harr negotiated peace.

…………………

The Tatar invasion of Liaodong was known to Zhao Teng, the king of Western Liang, when Guo Mao's army arrived at the desert border, and he thought that this was an excellent opportunity to deal with the emperor, so he hurriedly called his adviser Zhang Shihe to discuss.

Wang Zhao Teng colluded with the general Shen Da soldiers, the commanders and governors of Xiliang, plus the 80,000 private soldiers he raised, and now he could gather a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses. And because the imperial court has sent 300,000 soldiers and horses to fight, there are less than 200,000 soldiers left in the capital now, and they are scattered.

Still, he hesitated.

Wang Zhao Teng's love for Empress Jingzhuang is unreserved and unturning, and he wants to kill the emperor, not only for revenge, but also to be able to completely possess Empress Jingzhuang. For Empress Jingzhuang, he has been longing for twenty years. But because the emperor is his cousin, he still thinks a little bit about brotherhood, so he has been struggling for the past twenty years, but he doesn't want to struggle anymore in these two years, he wants to get her earlier.

Over the years, he has been very loyal to the emperor on the surface, but he is not. He was always thinking about how to overthrow him, and then take possession of Empress Jingzhuang without any scruples.

After hearing Zhao Teng's meaning, Zhang Shihe stopped again and again: "The prince must not act rashly." We have failed more than once before, and we can no longer act on impulse. ”

"It's not impulsive, it's entirely possible." Zhao Teng said.

"No, my lord, there is still His Royal Highness in the capital, how cunning this person is, you haven't learned it, it's better not to act rashly."

Zhao Teng said angrily: "You have asked me not to act rashly every time, but how much time do we have to spend like this?" It's an excellent time and should give it a try anyway. ”

Zhang Shihe hurriedly knelt down and said, "Did the prince ever think that if we were defeated, the whole army would be wiped out?" But even if the 200,000 soldiers die on the imperial court's side, there are still 300,000 soldiers available for dispatch, so what will we use to fight them at that time? ”
