When they left Fengxiang and returned to Tokyo, it was already approaching the wax moon, and winter was coming as scheduled.

Li Chuyun's family and Yang Luozuo and other relatives have dispersed, and as soon as everyone enters the Tokyo gate, they find an atmosphere of living, compared to other places, there is a better order and familiar environment. Only Jing Niang came back with Guo Shao, because she had lived here for several days before, and there were still more than a dozen people in the house; It doesn't necessarily be her home, but at least it's a long-term place to live.

"Lang Jun!" As soon as I entered the gate, I heard Yulian's voice, full of surprise of reunion.

Her oval face and the exposed skin on her neck are whiter and smoother, and her plump breasts and flexible waist line make her look better and better.

Yulian stepped forward to restrain her enthusiasm and joy, and first bent her knees in a respectful manner. When Guo Shao held her, he made a surprising movement, he pulled Yulian into his arms, and then reached out to hold her up.

"Ah......h

Guo Shao completely ignored the surprised eyes of Jing Niang and the others, picked up Yulian and walked into the courtyard.

Maybe Yulian thought about how many times he would be away from home two or three months later, maybe she would talk sweetly about her thoughts, and she would talk about what she had seen and heard during the journey...... But she shouldn't have guessed that this was the case.

Guo Shao is sometimes gentle and meticulous to women, with a keen heart of a shooter, just like the last time when Yulian first entered this mansion to grieve, he could patiently take a dandelion to comfort her and enlighten her; But sometimes he fully shows his side as a military general.

Simple, brutal, and direct.

After being outside for too long, he didn't know the gentle taste, and when he saw Yulian, the first thing he felt was not to describe his longing, but to want to have it! There is no disguise, and even demeanor is not taken care of.

"I miss you so much." Guo Shao whispered to the Yulian in his arms, his voice fiery and thirsty.

His arms full of strength, the urgency of striding like the wind, the heat in his voice, the look in his eyes, every place and every detail carried that feeling, as if he was about to eat Yulian.

Yulian's face was hot, and she had already guessed what he wanted to do. Without any provocative and ambiguous movements, her body was already soft, with panic and softness in her voice, she lay in Guo Shao's arms, her hands didn't know where to put them, she gently pressed on Guo Shao's strong chest, and whispered: "In broad daylight, don't be in such a hurry......"

After a while she said, "Slow down, you're a little scary, I'm going to suffer again today." ”

……

The fatigue of the two or three months of going out and the warmth of Yulian did not make Guo Shao relax, but he became more nervous when he returned to Tokyo this time. It's not panicked nervousness, nor is it that you're very busy all day long, but it is inexplicably shown in your ordinary words and deeds.

It's like a state of tension on the edge of a great enemy, and there seems to be something hidden in the calm.

Almost every day, he would spend a long time at home in the afternoon, but instead of resting, he would start practicing archery again.

There is a bluestone path in the back garden, one of which is relatively straight. Guo Shao put a target on the road, and then stood seventy or eighty steps away and practiced with a bow and arrow against the target.

At this time, not to mention that the matter itself is very boring, even the onlookers are not interesting to watch.

Shoot the arrow, shoot the bow, stop at the target, for a long time, and repeat this way. Occasionally, to be a little amused, he would shoot his arrows at the target without stopping until the arrows in the quiver were gone; The speed is very fast, and a large part of the shots miss the target...... But this kind of thing is not very often, most of the time he just slowly draws his bow and aims, and does not fire an arrow for a long time.

Yulian and Dong Sanmei lived in the back garden, and whenever they had time, they watched him do such things repeatedly and untiringly on the path behind them. They didn't dare to disturb Guo Shao, they just put sugar water, tea and other things in the pavilion, and they could drink them when Guo Shao was resting.

The New Year is getting closer and closer, and everywhere is already full of festive atmosphere, Guo Shao still doesn't pay attention to anything about the New Year, he stands on the bluestone path every day after being on duty or meeting guests, and does that very boring thing.

At this time, the middle-level military generals, in addition to the use of soldiers, martial arts are also very useful; Moreover, practicing martial arts will also keep people in a good state of readiness. It is difficult to motivate morale if he is not brave in the lead, and Shi Yanchao often plays as a striker because he is brave and leads by example. As a martial art used in battle formations, archery is undoubtedly a very advantageous means of killing in this era.

Compared to the melee assassination before rushing, there is no need to risk being besieged with a bow and arrow, and there is no need to fight with people, and long-range shooting is very advantageous, as long as it is strong and accurate. It's just that the training is cumbersome and demanding, and the top marksmen usually need to be trained from an early age to achieve beneficial musculoskeletal development; Most people who are born and trained as military generals since they were children all practice archery, Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan have a record of making a name for themselves by archery in their previous careers.

Guo Shao often gets tired from practicing, so he will stand on the path and stand quietly with his eyes closed. In his memory, the words of a little-known head of the Fu family were very clear in Guo Shao's mind: Don't think too much.

This simple sentence made Guo Shao have a new understanding every once in a while.

Maybe the head of the sect is not to let the children not use their brains, but to use their brains in the most direct place. Eliminating distracting thoughts, the mind enters a keen but most direct mode: when to shoot, when to release the arrow, there is no reason, it is an intuition, a feeling.

Guo Shao relied on the experience of countless hits and misses to comprehend such timing.

You can't be entangled in your heart, you can't have the slightest hesitation. Maybe the top marksman is not necessarily a gentleman, but he is certainly not a villain. Only with a clear mind and a smooth mind can this simple and crude art be brought into full play...... Like the art of war.

Frank but does not need too much restraint, does not need any disguise to cover himself, everything restores the most primitive nature and true temperament.

……

In addition to practicing archery, he also often stayed in the Hujie army camp in Nancheng, where the number of the first and second armies was often uneven, but there were always some people stationed there.

Guo Shao's private still prefers the soldiers of this army, their characteristics are also simple and direct, bold and wild, no wonder the rulers of later generations will be very jealous of this kind of elite soldiers...... Even the emperor can't do whatever he wants; For example, in a mutiny that occurred in the previous dynasty, the imperial court asked professional soldiers to go to Tuntian, and as a result, everyone directly mutinied.

Guo Shao personally felt that these soldiers were a double-edged sword, they could fight, but they were not so docile.

The generals were ordering, Guo Shao changed the style of those generals in the past, walked between the ranks on foot, and looked at the soldiers standing with their legs crossed.

The sergeants are mostly fierce men with broad shoulders and thick arms but not thick waists, and from their body shape to their skin, they can be seen everywhere that they are battle-hardened veterans. They obey their generals and are accustomed to huddle in formations, but they do not have the timidity and groveling of ordinary people when they meet their officials.

Guo Shao stood in front of a soldier, close to face to face, and casually flattened the crooked armor on his body. The soldier was a little nervous, but he was clumsy, and stood there straight and did not move or speak.

At this time, the soldiers are still more obedient to Guo Shao's leadership, and the elite soldiers are not completely unruly, they only serve those who have the ability, just like Yang Biao. There is less warmth in the army, and more jungle-like laws.

At this moment, the generals under the command came up to report the number of people, Guo Shao listened to them unhurriedly, and he didn't say any precepts himself, and waved his hand directly: "Disband, garrison according to the military order of the Privy Council a few days ago." ”

Each army has commanders and generals at all levels, and the garrison tasks of each ministry are not deployed by Guo Shao and other generals, and they are all deployed by the Privy Council; In particular, if the men and horses of the Beijing Division are mobilized or adjusted without the order of the Privy Council, it is very serious. Guo Shao just didn't come to inspect it, but he still stayed in the barracks for a long time and tried to get as familiar with the soldiers as possible.

After he waited for the various departments to change their defenses, he did not interfere in their military affairs at all, and recently he was sorting out and copying the maps brought back from Guanzhong, a total of six.

After two or three months of busy work, Guo Shao felt that he could make a concert and present a topographical map of Qinfeng Erzhou, so as to find a sense of presence in the imperial court. At this time, the imperial court institutions were further streamlined and centralized on the basis of the Tang Dynasty, but they had not yet formed a relatively strict system like the Song and Ming dynasties, and the weight of the Privy Council and the military were the most important parts of state affairs...... Guo Shao thought that if he offered a picture, he might be able to reach the hands of the emperor or the privy envoy.

When Li Chuyun was in Pizhou, the relatives of a non-military envoy could file a complaint, and Guo Shao felt that he could play a lawsuit as a general of the forbidden army.

However, this is the first time that Guo Shao has made a statement to the emperor, and he is a little anxious to write an article. He's been working on this book for two or three days, and he hasn't made a profit yet.

Not to mention writing literary articles, he can't read them very clearly...... Not illiterate, even recognizable traditional characters, the key is that there is no punctuation. Mother|, how complicated these literate people in ancient times were; If there is a symbol of broken sentences in the article book, it is an ink spot, and Guo Shao can understand most of the articles without pressure, but there is no one.

It has been almost five years in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but Guo Shao is a pawn most of the time, and the books of this era are expensive, and the sergeant pawn does not need to be literate, how can he have the time to study ancient books? Unless there is a good way out for the imperial examination now, and you can study the imperial examination professionally without worrying about food and clothing, then you can study and study.

After thinking about it, Guo Shao decided to let Zuo You write it, and then take a look at the same words for himself, and then copy the matter...... The last time I left a letter in Pizhou, it was also written by Zuo You.
