"Your Majesty, the emperor's secret letter to you, the old slave will be handed over to Your Majesty now."

Guo Zongxun didn't expect the secret letter left by his father, he ...... It's just that some are afraid to look at it.

Judging from the huge change in Guo Rong's attitude towards himself, Guo Zongxun felt faintly uneasy about Guo Rong's secret letter.

Why did this eloquent man, a man who was bent on paving the way for his son Guo Zongxun, suddenly make these very unfavorable actions to Guo Zongxun on his deathbed?

"Li Banban, did my father say that this secret letter can only be viewed by me alone?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang really said so, seeing this letter, except for the new emperor Guo Zongxun, the rest of the people will be punished by the nine clans and punished by heaven."

said so seriously, Guo Zongxun had already vaguely guessed that Guo Rong probably saw something, this wise and wise Emperor of the Great Zhou saw everything thoroughly, including Guo Zongxun who came through time.

After receiving Guo Rong's secret letter, Guo Zongxun came to the secret room, and Li Tongjie was still guarding the door.

Guo Zongxun cautiously opened the seal of the wax seal and took out the letter paper.

"Emperor Guo Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty nodded his head, and the immortals can meet courtesy?"

Just this sentence, Guo Zongxun was relieved, I didn't see that I was a mortal who crossed over, if I was a mortal, Guo Rong might not dare to kill.

Since I am called an immortal, out of fear of gods and demons, Guo Rong does not dare to make a mistake, this feudal superstition is sometimes a little useful.

Looking further down, Guo Zongxun understood that Guo Rong was always skeptical of Guo Zongxun after drowning and sobering up, but he never dared to say it, let alone mention it to anyone.

"The immortals are coming, the people are terrified, and they don't know the good luck, but they can only be respectful."

Shangxian, you are here, the people Guo Rong is very frightened, I don't know whether your arrival is auspicious or evil, but you are an immortal, I dare not offend, only respectfully and respectfully.

Seeing this, Guo Zongxun was a little gloomy, it turned out that Guo Rong's love for himself was all out of respect and prudence for himself, an immortal, alas......

It is no wonder that Guo Rong did not go to Concubine Xing a few nights before the expedition, but pulled Guo Zongxun to tell him his own life deeds.

It's no wonder that Guo Rong was so ill that he didn't even return to Kaifeng, and buried himself directly in Youzhou.

Look at that meaning, even if Guo Rong is not dead, he even has a plan to give up the throne to Guo Zongxun, a master.

Speaking of which, Guo Zongxun is still strange, why did Guo Rong set up so many obstacles for him?

The three phases of auxiliary government, assisting the emperor to decide the government, this is an unclear sentence that is obviously intended to cause a fight.

The Empress Dowager Fu Jinhuan listened to the government, but did not say whether she had the right to participate in politics, and the most important thing was that the talisman of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army was actually handed over to a woman who lived in the harem, which was also a hidden danger that could easily cause fighting.

Zhao Kuangyin was crowned the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people...... This one is even more dangerous.

Looking at what Guo Rong's secret letter said, it didn't make Guo Zongxun's nose crooked.

Guo Rong said that this is the most trusted and capable group of ministers he trusts, if you are the immortals, you will come down to the mortal world to assess us, and see who of the people in the lower realm is qualified to ascend to immortals, if I can pass the assessment, these people under me are all good, and they will cooperate with the immortals to enjoy the fun of being an emperor.

I...... Guo Zongxun couldn't help but want to burst into foul language, where is this.

With extremely nervous and resistant, but waiting for such a secret letter that made him laugh, Guo Rong finally asked if he was qualified to ascend to immortality.

"The immortals are merciful, and the people are willing to give up their lives, if they can be fortunate enough to get the guidance of the immortals, the people will be ......"

Guo Zongxun looked up at the dome of the secret room, his father knelt down and his son knelt down, the sky thundered, and the secret letter from his father was sprinkled with thousands of words, and he paused me dozens of times.

Dare Guo Rong thought that his death was fate, and it was the addiction of Shangxian who wanted to be the emperor, so he let him die first so that he could make the position come out.

I said how my father drove the majestic royal expedition, and after a series of operations, it was simply breathtaking, and it simply surpassed the sages.

Guo Zongxun really didn't want to slander the idol in his mind anymore, and the only substantive content in the secret letter was that he mentioned five hundred iron-blooded secret guards.

Jing Wuming and Iron Beard, the commander and deputy commander of the iron-blooded dark guard.

How to deal with the iron-blooded secret guard who was eliminated because of age and pain, Guo Rong also explained.

actually coincided with Guo Zongxun, most of the iron-blooded secret guards who retreated, Guo Rong gave them the status of businessmen and rich men.

The detailed list is in Jing Wuming's hands.

Finally saw something useful to him, Guo Zongxun was thinking, why don't I just publish Guo Rong's secret letter, let Zhao Kuangyin's dog thief see, the little emperor who has just ascended the throne is an immortal......

It's this Guo Rong again, who put a death curse, except for Guo Zongxun, who dares to see the rest of the people, will be punished by heaven for the nine clans.

It is impossible to scare Zhao Kuangyin and others by pretending to be a ghost.

It was Guo Rong who kindly recommended himself a bunch of ministers and queens who could follow the ascension to immortals together, which really gave him a headache.

It's no wonder that he didn't dare to canonize his father Chai Shouli, but pinned his hopes on Guo Zongxun, who was suspected of being an immortal.

Guo Rong is an absolute temperament, in fact, he is not suitable to be an emperor, and he obviously doesn't know anyone.

Just looking at his arrangements before he died, this was simply handing Zhao Kuangyin an extremely sharp rebel blade.

However, in the final analysis, Guo Zongxun still has to thank Guo Rong more, thanks to this great emperor, it is not his fault that he is narrow-minded, in this era, who can really see everything?

After all, Guo Rong reigned for six years, maintaining the great superiority of the Great Zhou military in terms of the enemy, and at the same time ensuring the stability of the Great Zhou court.

The rule of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as full of holes as the Great Song Dynasty that Guo Zongxun saw when he read history books in 2020.

All of this is indeed Guo Rong's credit.

Before Guo Rong died, he led the Great Zhou Xiong soldiers to recover six of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and even recovered Youzhou, the most important state city in Yanyun.

Guo Rong's death did not stop the Great Zhou Xiong's soldiers from recovering Yanyun, but buried himself with the thousands of soldiers who sacrificed and buried him in the land of Youzhou that he recovered in his last battle.

He wanted to watch the Great Zhou Xiong soldiers fully recover Yanyun, and even hit Liaoyang Mansion to completely eliminate the Liao State.

Thinking of this, Guo Zongxun no longer complained about Guo Rong, and now he just seems to be back on the original track of history.

But it's not exactly the same, because, by Guo Zongxun's side, there are already many people gathered at this time, many people who are loyal to him.

What about Zhao Kuangyin, what about Li Chongjin, and Li Yun who is about to move in Chang'an......

Since I can't stop you from rebelling, I'll show my means and rub you all to the ground.

After coming out of the secret room, Guo Zongxun personally wrote a letter to Yue Fei, which was not considered a holy decree, Guo Rong died, except for a few people, no one knows about it at present.

Therefore, the Emperor Taishang is still in Youzhou, and Guo Zongxun will not issue a holy decree to pass.

In the letter, Guo Zongxun told Yue Fei about his views on the Liao State and the follow-up arrangements, and asked Yue Fei to follow them.

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

Gubeikou, the battle is in full swing, and the people and horses of the Great Thursday are taking turns to launch a fierce attack on the city.

After Chai Yong led his army to recover Jizhou, he also rushed to Gubeikou and joined Qian Mao, Li Chongjin and Dugu Shengbu.

Yue Fei's military order also reached here, ordering Qian Mao, Dugusheng and Chai Yong to obey Li Chongjin's command, and the four troops of 170,000 men and horses attacked Gubeikou together.

By this time, Li had lost more than 20,000 horses.

The reason why Yue Fei did not punish Li Chongjin for disobeying military orders was that it was not wise to change generals in the battle when the time came, and second, he originally waited for Chai Yong to lead his troops to arrive, and the four troops were merged, and Yue Fei also ordered an attack.

Li Chongjin was a general in the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, and his merits and prestige were very high, which was also the reason why Yue Fei had some scruples.

It just so happened that Li Chongjin made a mistake this time, and also caused the heaviest loss since the recovery of Yanyun, although he was not defeated, but this has made Li Chongjin lose face.

"Yue Fei, villain's ear, if you give this general enough soldiers and horses, this general will not believe it, even if you use a pile of people, you can't break through a small Gubeikou."

Li Chongjin was angry in the Chinese military tent, Qian Mao, Chai Yong and Dugusheng were not here, and both of them had their own camps.

Although Yue Fei ordered Qian Mao, Chai Yong and Dugu Sheng to obey Li Chongjin's orders, he was talking about leading the troops, and the leading troops, led by Li Chongjin's troops, coordinated to attack Gubeikou.

This is Yue Fei's protection of Qian Mao, Chai Yong and Dugu Sheng, who knows if Li Chongjin has power in his hands, and will find an excuse to kill.

Therefore, it is better not to take the initiative to send the head to Li Chongjin.

The generals of the forbidden army in the military tent were furious when they heard Li Chongjin, and they bowed their heads one by one and were silent, the emperor and Marshal Yue both loved soldiers like sons, and they would plan repeatedly in every battle, and strive to minimize the battle losses.

Li Chongjin is different, that is, relying on the sharpness of the Great Zhou Xiong's soldiers, blindly rushing and fighting.

It's okay to fight a tailwind battle, so after Li Chongjin led the army to leave Youzhou, he took Shunzhou and Danzhou very smoothly, and Dugu Shengbu only took Yanzhou.

However, where in this world are there so many tailwind battles for you to fight, and when encountering tough battles, Li Chongjin's playing style is obviously inadequate.

Now, Li Chongjin retreated with his remaining more than 30,000 horses, and let Qian Mao, Chai Yongbu and Dugu Shengbu take turns to attack the city, which is said to be more than 100,000 Great Zhou male soldiers, and it should not be difficult to attack the city.

Just like Dugusheng said, Liaogou is dying and struggling, this is really desperate.

It's like Zhang Yongde and Qian Mao led the army to defend Yijin Pass, they know that behind them is the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the tens of thousands of people of the Great Zhou, they can't retreat, they don't dare to retreat, they must fight to the death.

The current Gubeikou is also the same for the Liao army.

Yelu Qingtan, the commander of the Liao army, also fought hard, and personally climbed to the top of the city to lead the Liao soldiers to resist the enemy, which greatly boosted the morale and fighting spirit of the Liao army.

Therefore, the battle to attack Gubeikou came to a stalemate for a while.

Yue Fei guarded Youzhou and did not dare to leave, because Emperor Guo Rong was buried here, once Yue Fei left, first, he could not keep the secret that the emperor had died, and secondly, once there was an accident, so that Emperor Guo Rong's mausoleum would be lost, and he Yue Fei would become a sinner through the ages.

This is also caused by Yue Fei's rise in the army too fast, his unstable foundation, and the lack of generals at hand who can be completely assured.

Therefore, for a while, Yue Fei was also a little in a dilemma.

Moreover, even if he led an army of 100,000 to Gubeikou, he would not necessarily be able to turn the tide of the war.

On this day, Yue Fei routinely inspected the camp of the Hugh Army stationed in Youzhou City, and under Yue Fei's strict orders, the Hug Army was practicing hard every day to maintain a strong fighting spirit and a strong fighting state.

"Good...... General Han is good at archery......"

"General Han is really powerful, fortunately, when we were in the Valley of Despair, Marshal Yue didn't let us fight hard, otherwise, we would have become General Han's target."

On the school military field, people shouted horses and neighed, and there was a sound of applause.

"Let's go and have a look."

Hearing the three words of Desperate Valley, Yue Fei remembered that this General Han, who was praised by all the soldiers, must be the defender of Desperate Valley, Han Zhaohan.

Han Zhao led his troops back to the Great Zhou, which was also the only formed former Liao army that Emperor Guo Rong ordered not to be treated as surrenders.

Because, Han Zhao's department is all Han Chinese.

is also because Han Zhao is smart enough, what he proposed to Emperor Guo Rong was not to surrender, but to return.

Emperor Guo Rong directly asked Han Zhao to lead his troops under Yue Fei's command, due to the tense war a while ago, Yue Fei had no time to take care of it, but he just put Han Zhao's troops into the Hanzi Army, and did not give Han Zhao any appointment.

Yue Fei led his soldiers to the school military field, and saw several arrow targets placed in the open space in the center of the school military field from a distance, and a general in black armor was galloping on his horse, with a curved bow in his hand, and he was constantly shooting arrows.

The arrows went straight to the bull's-eye, and on several arrow targets, the center was already full of arrows.

Yue Fei looked at it and couldn't stop nodding, Han Zhaoshan rode and arched, especially when he was galloping, he could shoot the bullseye so accurately, this archery technique was also rare.

"General Han, let's show us another chaotic mandarin duck score, haha."

The onlookers shouted loudly, as if they were not enjoying it.

Han Zhao on the horse also saw Yue Fei, hurriedly withdrew his bow and arrows, rode his horse to Yue Fei, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Yue Fei.

"The last general, Han Zhao, see Marshal Yue."

Yue Fei did not dismount, and said with a smile:

"General Han is good at archery, and the handsome man who looks at it also has some itchy hands, General Han uses a five-stone bow, right? The end is good arm strength. ”

One stone is about one hundred and twenty catties, and a five-stone bow is six hundred catties, which is already relatively good in the army.

Han Zhao had been waiting for the opportunity to be summoned by Marshal Yue for a while, but Yue Fei seemed to have forgotten about him.

Didn't Marshal Yue say that he wanted to settle accounts with me, why did he keep ignoring me?

This made Han Zhao a little frustrated.

Today, I finally saw Marshal Yue, and it was when I was more exposed.

You can't let go of this opportunity, you have to perform well.

"General Qiyuyue, if the war horse can be matched, the last general can use the seven-stone bow to ride and shoot on the horse, it is the eight-stone bow, and the last general can also drive it a few times."

This made Yue Fei a little surprised, he himself was born with divine power, enough to open a ten-stone strong bow, but that was already the limit, standing on the ground could still ensure the accuracy, if it was right away, he wouldn't dare to hold it up.

This Han Zhao said that he could open a seven-stone bow on a horse, or even an eight-stone bow, and the eight-stone bow that Han Zhao said could be opened several times, which must refer to the number of times he could hit the bull's-eye.

Hearing this, Yue Fei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking:

"Okay, that Shuai will test General Han's archery skills today, just now they said that the mandarin duck spectrum, Ben Shuai is very curious, I don't know if General Han is willing to show it."

The success attracted Yue Fei's attention, which made Han Zhao very excited, and immediately bowed down and said:

"The small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about, since Marshal Yue has an order, then the general will be ugly."

After speaking, Han Zhaofei got on the horse, and immediately attracted the cheers of all the soldiers.

Han Zhao on the horse changed to a three-stone bow, Yue Fei was a little strange, Ben Shuai gave you a chance to perform, didn't you take the opportunity to open a seven-stone bow or an eight-stone bow to Ben Shuai, why did you change it to a three-stone one?

Presumably this was deliberately changed for the sake of performing the mandarin duck score, Yue Fei didn't ask much, and watched Han Zhao's performance.

I saw Han Zhao beckoning to the onlookers, and immediately dozens of soldiers rushed out with great interest.

Each soldier had an arrow in his hand, and a small piece of wood was stuck in the arrow.

"You guys go back, you're not familiar with General Ben's routine, don't get hurt by mistake."

Han Zhao pointed to one of the soldiers and prevented them from entering the field.

"General Han, let's have fun, we are not afraid of death......"

"You guys, let's honestly go back and watch my general's performance, haha."

The other dozens of soldiers seemed to be Han Zhao's original subordinates, and they were all very proud.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what Han performed, it is fake to say that it is not dangerous, you want to participate, it is not impossible, but Han has only one requirement for you, that is, you must raise the arrow above your head, Han doesn't want to hurt his brother by mistake."

"Thank you General Han, don't worry, we've watched it several times and know how to play."

"Alright then, listen to General Ben's orders, and everyone will go and gather a hundred paces away."

"Order."

Dozens of soldiers rushed to a hundred paces away with arrows stuck in small wooden blocks, and then gathered together.

"General Han, I'm the first."

One of the soldiers suddenly jumped up from the crowd, shouted, and ducked back into the crowd.

The soldiers then raised their arrows above their heads and began to run around a hundred paces away.

Yue Fei looked at it from the side, this ...... But it's difficult.

It was already difficult to shoot a wooden block on an arrow from a hundred paces away.

Soldiers with arrows can run around at will, which adds to the difficulty.

The most difficult thing was that a group of uniformly dressed soldiers were a hundred paces away, and they were asked to shoot by name......

Most of these soldiers are dark and do not slip away, and they are constantly running in the distance, and it is difficult to recognize people.

And they were gathered together first, and suddenly jumped up and let Han Zhao admit it, and then they scattered.

As for Han Zhao, it didn't seem to be sour enough, and he was running back and forth a hundred steps away from these soldiers on his horse.

Looking at the onlookers again, all of them were shouting happily, it didn't seem strange that Han Zhao would do this.

A lieutenant general also rode a horse to Yue Fei and saluted Yue Fei.

"Marshal Yue, General Han's hand is messy with the mandarin duck spectrum, at the beginning, there were generals who opened the market and gambled to win or lose, but now, everyone is not interested in betting, just watch General Han's performance."

Emperor Guo Rong did not prohibit gambling in the army, but he had strict requirements on what to bet on and how to bet, which was also a means to increase the enthusiasm of military training.

Not far away, Han Zhao rode back and forth, calmly opening his bow and arrows, aiming at a running soldier.

These soldiers seem to be used to playing, deliberately running very irregularly, and they can't stop braking hard at every turn and suddenly run back.

"Whoosh" Han Zhao shot an arrow, directly hitting the wooden block on the arrow in the hand of one of the soldiers.

"General Han is mighty."

This thing can't be faked, who jumped up just now, whether the wooden block on the arrow in his hand was shot off, even if it was too far away to see clearly, but after all, it was still in plain sight, it was impossible for this to be a group magic, it was all Han Zhao's nursery.

The soldier who had been shot off the block did not leave the field and continued to participate in the game, when a group of people gathered around again, and another soldier jumped up.

"General Han, I'm the second."

This time the difficulty has increased again, just now the soldiers were running in all directions, this time, five or six people are gathered together, still covering each other.

"Whoosh" After Han Zhao rode his horse back and forth, he saw the right time, and it was another arrow ......"

"General Han is mighty."

…………

Yue Fei is more and more happy, this Han Zhao is not only a sharpshooter, but also a very clever general, this handsome has picked up a treasure.

Fortunately, when he was in the Valley of Despair, he didn't kill Han Zhao, who was still an enemy at the time, otherwise it would have been a pity.

After Han Zhao finished performing his stunt, he rode his horse to Yue Fei, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down again:

"Marshal Yue, the last general is ugly."

Yue Fei also turned over and dismounted, helped Han Zhao up, and said with a smile:

"Ben Shuai won't explain anything to you, it's true that he was busy with military affairs a while ago, and he forgot about you completely, General Han won't blame him."

"The last general doesn't dare, the last general just practices hard every day, ready to obey Marshal Yue's orders to go into battle to kill the enemy."

"Ben Shuai just heard you say that you can shoot an eight-stone bow on a horse, and Ben Shuai asked you, what is the farthest range that can guarantee 100% hit in a run?"

Han Zhao didn't know why Yue Fei had such a question, he pondered for a moment and said:

"Marshal Qiyu Yue, if there is no problem with the horses, the maximum range of the last general who can accurately hit the target when he runs with the eight-stone bow is about three hundred steps or more, and if you give the last general some time, it may be able to reach four hundred steps."

Yue Fei smiled:

"That's it, Ben Shuai gives you three days to practice, although you choose a horse in the army, you have a fancy to Ben Shuai's war horse, Ben Shuai can give it to you, Ben Shuai has only one requirement, a distance of 300 steps to 350 steps, ride a horse and run, so as to hit an arrow."

"The last general obeys the order, and the last general guarantees that he will not disappoint Marshal Yue."

Yue Fei looked at Han Zhao, it seemed that whether he could capture Gubeikou really depended on how divine this Han Zhao Han Xianming's archery skills were......
