Chapter 19: Inspecting the Barracks

The group soon came to the camp in front of the Kaifeng Dongcheng Palace, and all checked Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin, and Shi Shouxin, the commander of the army, and led the soldiers to wait outside the camp gate.

"The ministers see the emperor, please forgive the ministers for the sin of not being able to pay full courtesy."

"All the Qing are flat, all the soldiers are flat, today I am here to cheer you up in advance, the seventeenth day of the first month is the day of my Great Zhou Winter Hunt, all the soldiers are ready?"

"Wind"

"Wind"

"Wind"

There are a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses in the front of the palace, which is 30,000 more than the guard division, and today it is in the big camp, and there are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers lining up to welcome the holy car.

Guo Zongxun didn't have any spirit, it was these guys, under the bewitchment of Zhao Kuangyin, the front division of the palace commanded Shi Shouxin to personally open the gate of Kaifeng City, so that Zhao Kuangyin's rebels could drive straight into the palace and force the palace to usurp the throne.

The soldiers and horses of the front division of the palace, on the way here, Guo Rong made a brief introduction to Guo Zongxun, these are all proud soldiers and fierce generals who have rolled in the sea of corpses and blood, and they are the strongest military strength in the Zhou State.

In the first month of next year, after Zhao Kuangyin deceived the military power to lead the troops out of the city, the 50,000 officers and soldiers of the front division of the palace stayed in Kaifeng City, and the leading general at that time was Zhao Kuangyin's best brother Shi Shouxin.

If you can hold this tiger and wolf division in your hands in advance, yes, you must find a way, Shi Shouxin is not going to win over this prince, then he must be eliminated as soon as possible and replaced by the prince of this prince.

From the current point of view, it is still very difficult to seek the position of senior general of the front division of the palace, Yue Fei is just a guard division Du Yuhou, and the commander of the thousand-man team under his command is still under the name of Guo Zongxun, and if you want to be further promoted, you must rely on accumulating military merits.

The rest of the generals of the Zhou State, Guo Zongxun has not seen a few, and now that Wei Zhongxian is here, he just asked him to help him quickly inquire about it, determine their relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, and then choose a few capable ones.

Li Chongjin stood beside Guo Rong and pouted inadvertently, these are the teams left by my uncle, but now they have become a sharp blade in the hands of Guo Rong, threatening me all the time, Guo Rong, you wait, you don't have a few days to live.

Li Chongjin was the envoy of the Huainan Army, leading the army to sit in Yangzhou and guard against the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Guo Rong naturally knew that Li Chongjin didn't have a good heart when he came back, but he didn't find any clues, and of course it was not easy to do it, after all, he was the nephew of Taizu and his adoptive father Guo Wei, and if he didn't have real evidence, he would kill Li Chongjin without real evidence, which would inevitably cause a shock in the Zhou Kingdom.

Therefore, Guo Rong took advantage of the previous battles to vigorously promote young generals, among which the best was Zhao Kuangyin, as well as Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and others also performed well.

Guo Rong transferred Li Chongjin out of Kaifeng, and now except for Taizu Guo Wei's concubine Zhang Yongde, who occupies the position of the former secretary of the palace, most of the rest of the generals of the forbidden army are young officers with military merits.

Guo Rong is going to train these people, and then free up his hands to deal with Li Chongjin, if Zhang Yongde is also confirmed to have different intentions, then even Zhang Yongde will deal with it.

Guo Zongxun is in a hurry here now, many of the young generals promoted by his father are close personal friends with Zhao Kuangyin, and they often drink and party together, and there is already a vague tendency to form a gang, but with Guo Rongzhen, these people don't dare to have any crooked thoughts.

With Guo Rong here, everything is easy to say, but after half a year, it is very likely that Guo Rong will die, and when the time comes......

Guo Zongxun looked at the tiger and wolf division in front of him, and felt a swishing cold air in his back spine.

"Xun'er, it seems that you are not in high spirits today, but are you not feeling well?"

Guo Rong came today to show his face in front of the army, because every time he drove the expedition, the state affairs were handed over to Prime Minister Fan Zhen, and the members of the royal family, no one listened to the government in the court, and no one supervised the country, which always made Guo Rong feel uneasy.

Now, the six-year-old prince Guo Zongxun has suddenly opened up since he drowned, and yesterday's events made Guo Rong happy in his heart, and the plan that had been brewing in his mind for a long time seemed to be able to be put into practice.

After establishing Fu Jinhuan as the queen and officially handing over Guo Zongxun to Fu Jinhuan to raise, these are all important parts of Guo Rong's plan to stabilize the court.

The Guards Division and the Palace Front Division, as the forbidden army guarding the imperial city and the national capital, will not participate in the offensive campaign under normal circumstances, and when Guo Rong goes out on the expedition, he only needs to leave two important generals to guard it.

Every time he goes on an expedition, Guo Rong will take Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin is brought to further cultivate and promote, and Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are purely to prevent the two from secretly doing something while Guo Rong is not in Kaifeng.

Therefore, the first few expeditions, the matter of staying behind in Kaifeng City will fall on Han Tong, the deputy commander of the Guards Division, and Shi Shouxin, the commander of the front division of the palace, and the current performance of these two people is still very reassuring to Guo Rong.

"Father, the son is not uncomfortable, the son wants to be serious in front of the soldiers."

Guo Zongxun is wearing a bulging out, if he cracks his mouth and laughs everywhere, alas...... The picture is too beautiful, I can't imagine it, this prince still wants to maintain a glorious image and maintain the posture of a superior, so that he will not be looked down upon for the first appearance.

Guo Rong looked at Guo Zongxun, who was riding on a horse like a leather ball with a serious face, and he also wanted to laugh, but this was in front of the army, if he laughed, wouldn't it make Xun'er even more embarrassed.

"It's my father's lack of consideration, and Mr. Li is probably worried that you will freeze, so he told the palace people of Shangyi Prison to stuff a lot of animal hair, Xun'er rest assured, today is just a routine inspection, and on the day of the winter hunt, my father will give you a small surprise."

Guo Zongxun still flattened his mouth, looking a little aggrieved, and said in his heart, Li Tongjie's old ghost clearly wants to harm me, you wait, see how I let Wei Zhongxian clean you up.

Li Tongjie, who was not qualified to enter the barracks and could only wait outside, suddenly sneezed twice, feeling chills all over his body, and a very bad premonition lingered in his heart.

He looked at Wei Zhongxian beside him again, Wei Zhongxian lowered his head, his toes rubbing on the snow in front of the camp gate, as if he was thinking about something.

"Come, Xun'er will sit in front of his father, and our father and son will ride together."

As soon as Guo Rong stretched out his hand, he picked Guo Zongxun from the horse, hugged him in front of him, held the reins with one hand, and held Guo Zongxun's two small hands tightly with the other hand.

"With my father here, don't be afraid of everything, my father will take care of everything for you."

Although these words are a bit paternalistic, Guo Zongxun still feels warm in his heart when he listens to it.

Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin exchanged glances, the fourth prince is a bit too favored, it is not necessarily a good thing.

When inspecting the ranks of officers and soldiers, Guo Rong did not wave, but asked Guo Zongxun to wave to the standing generals.

"Xun'er, my father hopes that one day in the future, he can hand over our brave and good soldiers of the Great Zhou to you, and you will lead them to open up a larger territory for our Han family."

Guo Zongxun also began to get excited, he freed his young arms from the thick hunting suit, and waved vigorously at the officers and soldiers in the line.

"The son will not disappoint his father......"
