Yue Fei did not take Dugusheng directly to the barracks, but asked him to come back tomorrow night to visit the barracks.

"General Yue, if you don't want to teach the villain's swordsmanship, why do you need to learn that stinky bull's nose to harm me?"

Dugu Sheng felt that whether he was compared with Liu Bowen, a stinky Taoist priest with a bull's nose, or with General Yue, who could throw him off more than a dozen streets with swordsmanship, his brain was a little insufficient.

Oh, let me come back to the night camp at night, and then you will ambush hundreds or thousands of archers in advance, and prepare to use my Dugu Sheng as an arrow target, right?

"What, scared? Every night after that, General Ben asked you to come to the barracks at night, and before the expedition, if you could unknowingly touch the tent of the general's barracks, the general would agree to accept you. ”

"Is it to take me as an apprentice, is there a master who cheats his apprentice like this? General Yue, you go back and tell the soldiers to strengthen their precautions at night, which is tantamount to telling them in advance that someone is going to break into the barracks at night, and the villain doesn't want to be shot as a hedgehog. ”

"Dugu Sheng thinks too much, Yue doesn't feel that he has the qualifications to accept apprentices, the martial arts are endless, since there is fate, let's explore together?"

Yue Fei said very sincerely, on the one hand, it was to test Dugusheng's determination to join the army, and on the other hand, he wanted to use Dugusheng to build a strong-walled army camp with iron walls and a magnificent skynet.

Seeing that Dugu Sheng was still hesitating, Yue Fei gave him another fire:

"Dugu Sheng, if you don't dare, forget it, it's just that you will stop here when you go to the sword."

Dugu Sheng gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, as soon as I say it, I will go to the general's tent tomorrow night to find the general to drink tea."

"If that's the case, Yue will definitely prepare the wine and drink it with you."

Yue flew away, and Dugu Sheng was still standing on the high slope in a daze, no, I, Dugu Sheng, was determined to pursue the way of the sword in this life, why did I want to be a big soldier?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the next few days, Guo Zongxun was successfully established as the crown prince, the fifth prince Guo Zongrang was named King Cao, and Cao Bin became the deputy commander of the Guards Division.

As for Yue Fei, under Liu Bowen's great efforts, he also successfully married Miss Li Wa, which can be described as a spring breeze.

As for when to get married, because the process is too cumbersome, it will take at least two or three months from marriage to marriage, and you can only wait for Yue Fei to return from the expedition.

Chai Yong and Niu Gao were familiar with the rules in the barracks, and although they were Yue Fei's own soldiers, they did not receive the slightest preferential treatment.

Chai Yong doesn't care, he trains hard every day, but it's not much harder than the previous street performers.

If he wanted to eat meat, General Yue would allow him to go out of the camp to catch wild beasts in the mountains, and when he returned, he could improve the food for the brothers.

Niu Gao was originally complaining, when the big head soldier was a gangster, he was caught by General Yue and brought to the barracks, and he didn't know who to talk to.

Later, when he saw the stupid and simple Chai Yong who came with him, he showed his face like this in the army, General Yue smiled every time he saw Chai Yong, but every time he saw him, he always shook his head and sighed......

"I don't believe it, I can mix up a person in Kaifeng City, and I can be compared to Chai Yong's stupid cow in this military camp."

Dugu Sheng would try every way to go to Yue Fei's camp to find Yue Fei for tea every night, but he was discovered by the soldiers on duty every time.

Either they fled in a hurry by random arrows, or they were fled in embarrassment by more than a hundred soldiers wielding spears.

General Yue is really moving, if it weren't for my Dugu victory, I'm afraid I would really become a hedgehog.

No, General Yue said, they will soon lead the troops to the battle, and if they can't successfully enter General Yue's camp tent by then, they will lose their faces.

I'm embarrassed to even go back and settle accounts with the stinky cow's nose.

Cao Bin's two sons were completely dumbfounded this time, and one of them was sent to the prince by Cao Bin with a burden, and from then on he had to live a life of dire conditions and a home that he couldn't go back to.

"Brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also stingy, and we didn't really go to boo, why does he have to get along with us."

"Second brother, control your broken mouth, what Dad said before came from the mouth, and if you say too much, you will lose, I don't think so, now it seems that what Dad said is a wise saying."

"Brother, I miss our father, the days in this palace are not as happy as being whipped by my father every day."

"Second brother, if you are as cheap as you, my brother will write you a big word."

"Brother, I heard that the prince is going to catch someone from outside and come in to play with him, do you guess who the next unlucky guy will be?"

"It doesn't matter who he is, the more unlucky people the better, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't have time to just stare at the two of us."

Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan lived in the Chun Trap Courtyard, and the prince came to take them out from time to time to let off steam, and they were rampant and domineering everywhere under the banner of entertaining the VIPs of the Liao State.

Sometimes, when the prince does not come, he will let the generals of the Hustle Army escort them out to swagger through the market, to accept the baptism of rotten vegetable gangs and rotten eggs that fly from nowhere.

The prince is not here, the people of Kaifeng City will not be polite to them, Liaogou get out of the pass, Liaogou hurry up and return Yanyun obediently, otherwise, my Great Zhou Tianbing will step on you sooner or later.

"Yanyan, does our boss want to kill the two of us, we can't sit still like this."

"Brother Hugh, the boss's thoughts, Yan Yan doesn't want to guess, if Yan Yan can guess it through, this person will be boring, just like the fifth prince, Yan Yan can see through what he is thinking at a glance."

"Then tell me, the fifth prince is usually silent, and when he goes out, he knows that he is holding your hand, did he still whisper to you?"

"There are no whispers, but Yan Yan can be sure that the fifth prince is jealous of the crown prince, but he doesn't dare to show a single penny, his mother is a character, but it's a pity, the more he lets the five princes swallow their anger in front of the prince, the greater the power of the rebound in the future."

"Isn't this a good thing, the Zhou Kingdom is in chaos, won't our Daliao have more chances?"

"So, Brother Hugh, don't just think about whether you will die, let alone just think about how to be loyal to Da Liao, the only thing you can do now is to observe and learn more, only if you are strong, you will not be bullied like this."

Liu Bowen was responsible for building the wine purification utensils have been completed, Guo Zongxun took the opportunity to take Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan shopping, went to the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles, and taught Liu Bowen how to use the utensils to purify the wine.

Then, Guo Zongxun took the high-grade liquor to meet the old lady Guo Wanche, who personally tested the disinfection function of the high-grade liquor, and was also amazed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, with this high-grade liquor, the old minister is confident that this expedition with the army will definitely save the lives of countless soldiers."

"Old lady, this liquor can be used internally and externally, but you have to be careful, don't let those gluttonous sergeants drink it secretly."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, the old minister will go to the emperor to ask for five hundred elites, who will be responsible for guarding the wine."

Guo Zongxun went to see his father again with high-grade liquor, and after Guo Rong tasted it, he also felt that this liquor tasted very strong and had a mellow aftertaste.

I also heard that this wine can also be used to disinfect the wounds of injured soldiers, greatly improving the survival and healing ratio of injured soldiers, and I am even more happy, so I directly gave this wine the name: Liehou.

Guo Zongxun never expected that the liquor he purified would be sealed.

Liehou, the compulsion of this brand is high enough, and when it is put into the market when it is mass-produced in the future, it will definitely sell well and make a lot of money.

As for the pretentious Zhao Kuangyi, Guo Zongxun didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being, and let him dry him for a while, Guo Rong was about to go on the expedition, and he had just been made the prince, and there were many things to do, where was there time to make Zhao Erxun happy.

Tongfu Palace was renamed the Prince's East Palace, which was originally to be expanded, but Emperor Guo Rong has always been diligent and thrifty, and he vetoed the proposal of several prime ministers to expand the Prince's East Palace without consulting the prince.

Where would Guo Zongxun care about this, even if Guo Rong agreed to expand the East Palace, he would run to stop it.

Although the officials of the East Palace Administration are not yet complete, there is currently only one Lu Duan, but there are three prime ministers who are also subordinate officials of the East Palace, which shows that Guo Rong attaches great importance to the crown prince.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the spring of March, the willow green branches, the spring breeze is no longer precipitous, and Kaifeng City finally took off the coat of silver, showing a group of vitality.

The army of 500,000 has been assembled, and the armaments, food, and grass are all ready.

Guo Rong is about to take the royal conquest......

On the third day of the third month of March in 959 A.D., in the Jinluan Palace.

"The emperor has arrived."

"Long live my emperor, the ministers will knock on the emperor."

"Zhongqing is flat."

"Your Majesty."

This is the last early dynasty before Guo Rong's personal expedition, and only Guo Rong himself knows that this may be his last early dynasty as the emperor of the Great Zhou.

Guo Zongxun has been following Guo Rong to the court in the past few days, standing at the head of the civil officials, and behind him are the three prime ministers of the Great Zhou.

"Fan Aiqing, what's the situation at the Liao Embassy now?"

Prime Minister Fan Zhen came out of the class and said:

"Your Majesty, the Liao State is making Brother Yelu Hua have been bedridden, and the embassy has been surrounded by my Great Zhou Forbidden Army, and in recent times, even they have been forbidden to go out to buy, for this reason, Brother Yelu Hua also protested to Honglu Temple."

Guo Rong nodded, the longer the news of the expedition is blockaded on the Liao State, the more it can take the Liao State by surprise.

"What about the Northern Han Mission?"

"Your Majesty, on the side of the Northern Han Mission, officials from Honglu Temple have been visiting them in the past few days, and informed them that they will soon open peace talks with the Northern Han Dynasty, and the guards of the forbidden army are very lax, so the recent activities of the Northern Han Mission have been very frequent, and a lot of news has been passed on to the outside world."

"Very good, the peace talks with the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State, after I set out on the expedition, will be handed over to the prince, Lu Aiqing will assist from the side, how to grasp the direction and progress of the peace talks, I have already made it very clear to the prince and Lu Aiqing, the three prime ministers can handle the government with all their hearts."

The crown prince Guo Zongxun and Lu Duan bowed down to receive the order:

"Erchen (Weichen) commands."

The three prime ministers knew that the emperor was telling them that they should not interfere in the peace talks with the Northern Han Dynasty, and Guo Rong had already set the rules.

"After I set out on the expedition, the crown prince will supervise the country, I hope that all of you Aiqing can show loyalty to me to treat the crown prince, and do not disturb the state affairs, otherwise, even if I am thousands of miles away, I will send a decree back to severely punish you and other sins."

A group of civil and military ministers knelt on the ground one after another and said in unison:

"The ministers will definitely faithfully assist His Royal Highness the Prince, and they will not dare to slack off."

Guo Zongxun also knelt and kowtowed together, fortunately, his father did not directly let the queen listen to the government this time, and he still had time to familiarize himself with and sort out the political affairs of the court.

If you get a gold ring to press on your head, it will be like a layman guiding an insider, and several prime ministers will unconsciously think that as long as they explain it clearly to the queen, this government can be implemented smoothly.

Now, Guo Zongxun plans to take this opportunity to first wrestle with the three prime ministers and the Manchu ministers.

The plan of this expedition, who to fight, how to fight, and how to attack in several ways, Guo Rong has never made it clear, and even when the small court in the imperial study room was discussed, he did not say it.

Only Yue Fei, the pioneer officer of the front Zhengyin, had led an army of 50,000 to the north a few days ago.

The Northern Han is also in the north, and the Liao State is also in the north, who to fight, and the marching route of the vanguard army, at this moment, only Guo Rong and Yue Fei know.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Guo Rong summoned the three prime ministers again in the imperial study, the crown prince Guo Zongxun, and the prince Lu Duan.

As for Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin, who went out together this time, they were all sent to reorganize the army and prepare for the march.

"Prince, the peace talks between the Northern Han and the Liao State are very important, you have to follow Lu Aiqing's advice, study more, and don't make your own decisions."

In the court, Guo Rong said that the prince was the main one, which was for the ministers, but in fact, Lu Duan was the real executor.

"The sons and daughters will obey the will of their father, and they will definitely not interfere with the deployment of their father and Lord Lu, Lord Lu, please give me more advice."

Lu Duan bowed and saluted:

"The minister will definitely not live up to the emperor's trust, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very intelligent, and the minister will do his best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and successfully complete the peace negotiation task entrusted by the emperor."

Guo Rong nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said to Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu:

"The three Aiqing are the pillars of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are three Aiqing to assist His Royal Highness the Prince, I am relieved."

The three of Fan Zhen also bowed down, and said that they would not live up to the emperor's trust.

Guo Zongxun lowered his head on the side, I hope you can listen to the words of this prince just like you listen to the words of my father.

Subsequently, Guo Rong explained some details of the court's decrees, and Guo Zongxun kept them all in mind.

"Okay, I'm going to lead the army tomorrow, and all of you Aiqing have worked hard during this time, so go back and rest early."

"The ministers and others will send Your Majesty off tomorrow together, and I wish Your Majesty an early triumphant return, and the ministers will retire."

In the imperial study, only the emperor Guo Rong, the crown prince Guo Zongxun, the great eunuch Li Tongjie and the old eunuch Guo Wanche remained.

"Li Tongjie, select school-age teenagers from among the ministers of the imperial court to be the prince's companion, and hand it over to Wei Zhongxian to do."

"The old slave obeys."

"Prince, I took Mr. Li on the expedition this time, the affairs in the palace can be temporarily led by Wei Zhongxian, Li Tongjie is a loyal person, I hope the prince will remember."

Guo Zongxun felt sad again, his father was clearly explaining the future, so that he should not be cold to Li Tongjie, there is no need to be like this at all.

Even if Guo Rong fell ill a few months after he left for the expedition, he would not die until he returned to Kaifeng and arranged everything.

How did Guo Zongxun know that unless there was a miracle, Guo Rong had no intention of returning to Kaifeng alive.

He wants to lay down as much territory as possible for the crown prince Guo Zongxun, and at the same time, he also wants to realize his long-cherished wish of being a famous general with a horse leather shroud when he was not the emperor.

Li Tongjie had already knelt on the ground at this time, buried his head in the sleeves of his wide robe, and said in a calm tone as much as possible:

"The old slave can follow the emperor to go on the expedition together, which is a blessing that the old slave has cultivated for several generations, and the old slave is really happy."

Guo Zongxun also bowed down and said:

"The sons will definitely remember the teachings of their father, and Mr. Li will be the chief of my Great Zhou court at any time."

What else can Guo Zongxun say, he already has a good impression of Li Tongjie, and as for those battles and methods that cannot be put on the table in the palace, they are inevitable.

If you want to talk about ruthlessness, who can compare with the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian?

The use of eunuchs is the use of ability and loyalty, these two points, Li Tongjie and Wei Zhongxian undoubtedly have.

"Imperial Doctor Guo, your second son, Guo Jinli, will be transferred to the Prince's East Palace from tomorrow, and the position will be appointed by the prince, and the rest of the sons who have achieved academic success will also be incorporated into the military medicine camp, right?"

The old lady doctor Guo Wanche showed his face this time, one son entered the East Palace of the Prince, and the other two sons also joined the medical battalion of the forbidden army, and the first medical officer family of the Great Zhou was born.

"The old minister thanks Your Majesty Longen, the old minister and the dog have made all preparations and are ready to serve His Majesty and the crown prince at any time."

"Okay, Li Tongjie, spread my words, set up the Yanfu Palace, I will have dinner with the queen and the prince today."

Guo Rong still remembered the queen Fu Jinhuan in the end, and it was natural for him to go out to meet the queen before going on the expedition.

On top of that, he also had to tell the golden ring.

When dining in Yanfu Palace, Fu Jinhuan wept from time to time to show his reluctance to the emperor's personal conquest.

"Queen, after I set out on the expedition, the affairs of the harem will be handed over to you to take care of, and the mother of a country must show some style, so as not to live up to the expectations of me and the late queen."

"The concubine remembers, the concubine is reluctant to the emperor."

"The prince should also come to your mother from time to time to say goodbye, I will rest assured when I know that your mother and son are in harmony in the army."

"Father, the son has also written it down."

After lunch, Guo Rong returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall first, and let Guo Zongxun return to the Prince's East Palace first.

After the old lady Guo Wanche gave Guo Rong another diagnosis and treatment, he summoned Guo Zongxun to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this time, it was still early, but looking at Guo Rong's meaning, he was already preparing to go to bed.

"Xun'er, come, sit in my father's arms, and my father will continue to tell you how my father governs my Great Zhou world......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dugu Sheng was a little depressed, and even felt that he would have no face to see people from now on, General Yue had already led the army to the battle, and he had not been able to successfully touch his camp.

So, Dugusheng found Liu Bowen.

"Niu Nose, the General Yue you recommended to me is indeed the only swordsmanship master I have seen in Dugu Sheng's life, but unfortunately, I have no ability to follow General Yue to learn swords."

Liu Bowen smiled secretly and said solemnly:

"It's a pity that I destroyed the Buddha in the Great Zhou and followed the Tao, otherwise it seems to be a very good choice if I am a Hanyi Buddha."

Dugu Sheng sat at the door of the Sanqing Hall decadently, looking up at Liu Bowen:

"Niu Bi, those tigers and wolves you raised, haven't you eaten meat for many days, or I'll send me over myself to help them get their wish to eat meat."

Liu Bowen looked at Dugu Sheng with tears and laughter, and said:

"There is a sentence called perseverance, and there is another sentence called perseverance, since General Yue has already led the army to the battle, you should hurry up and chase it, and go to the camp every night, General Yue has actually begun to guide you, you haven't figured it out yet?"

Dugu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the ground all of a sudden:

"Thank you for your advice, don't leave it here, the mountains are high and the water is long, and there will be a period later."

Then, Dugu Sheng disappeared.

"You are embarrassed to chase after yourself, you have to come to me to ask for a word, you are willing to go, poor Dao persuades you to change your name, called Dugu cheap, not the sword of the sword, but the cheap of the cheap."

Dugu Sheng's shout came from the wind:

"Stinky cow nose, sooner or later, one day, I will come back and burn your Sanqingguan."

Liu Bowen laughed, suddenly turned around, and said to the Sanqing Palace:

"Where do Taoist friends come from, the three Qing halls of the poor road, not everyone can come to worship."

An old Taoist priest wearing a black robe, white beard and white hair stood in the Sanqing Hall with his hands behind his back, and when he heard Liu Bowen speak, he said proudly:

"Old man Chen, you can come and salute."

Liu Bowen walked up to the self-proclaimed Daomen Sect Master Chen Jun, looked up and down, left and right, and looked at it carefully, and then shook his head.

"Why, don't you believe that the old man is Chen Tuan? When the old man became famous, your mother was afraid that she had not yet been born, and the little Taoist priest did not kneel down when she saw the old man. ”

Liu Bowen ignored this old way, but turned around and walked out of the Sanqing Palace.

Chen Jun held the shelf for a long time, wanting to pretend to be 13, but he didn't pretend, how did he know that Liu Bowen was a fake bull's nose at all, and he had no concept of what the Taoist master was.

Liu Bowen turned around and left, and Chen Shu couldn't get up or down, neither did he go, nor did he go......

After holding it for a long time, Chen Tuan had no choice but to cough, and walked out of the Sanqing Palace, but saw Liu Bowen sweeping the floor.

"Little Taoist, you don't know the old man, and the old man doesn't blame you, you go and talk to your master, and say that the old man wants to see him."

Liu Bowen put down the broom, glanced at Chen Tuo, and said:

"If you have anything to say, just tell a certain family, you are not qualified to meet my father-in-law."

Chen Yan was so angry that his beard was cocked, he had been a Taoist boss for so many years, and it was the current emperor Guo Rong who was polite when he saw him, how could he meet such an eyeless little Taoist priest today?

"You, rude, too."

Liu Bowen said casually:

"Chen Shu, it is not easy for Liu to remember your cultivation, I will give you a word, the real dragon is not something that a small fish and shrimp like you can afford to provoke, don't think that you will forget what you are when you are held, hurry up, otherwise, Liu will close the door and release the tiger......"
