Lu Duosun stayed for a short time and was about to return to Tokyo. Guo Shao asked a few people, and only then did he collect a little gold, silver and copper coins and give them to Lu Duoxun as a coil, and sent several scouts to escort him out.

After sending people away, Guo Shao had just returned to the Chinese army, when he heard a commander scolding and saying: "We have been fighting in front for more than half a month, and we haven't seen a penny. ”

Wang Zhang immediately rebuked: "Money, money!" I know that to get rich, brothers march to war, do you have to carry a few sacks of money out first? If you go back, won't the court reward you? ”

The commander was scolded by Shangfeng, so he didn't dare to say it again. Of course, if you win the battle, you will be rewarded, but there are nearly 6,000 people in the whole army, and how much can one person get if he pulls a few carts of money to reward? The Great Zhou was strong, but it was far inferior to Shu and Southern Tang in terms of goods; When the Central Plains was made into a pot of porridge, these places had been prosperous for decades, and they were not affected by the war.

A few days later, news came from Fengzhou that Wang Jingbu captured Fengzhou City and obtained 150,000 yuan of grain.

When the generals of Guzhen heard the news, Wang Zhang muttered in front of Guo Shao: "Whether it is 150,000 Hu or 250,000 Hu, who knows?" ”

Guo Shao sat in the tiled house that was the commander of the Chinese army, and couldn't help but think of another sentence that Wang Zhang said a while ago: There is oil and water in the bones. The forbidden army from Tokyo could not carry back the captured grain, but the Fengxiang soldiers were different, and transporting the grain out of Qinling was hard currency; Food is sometimes better than gold, silver, and copper coins. The Hujie army could not sell the captured military rations, as a foreign army, they were not familiar with the place, and if the news leaked, it would be too bad.

Mother, I dare to fight for a long time, and the real benefits are taken by others, and I don't have anything for my gang of people? Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy...... Xiang Xun and Wang Jing's subordinates took over Qin, Cheng, and Jie, and I am afraid that they have reaped a lot of benefits.

Guo Shao did not doubt Wang Jieshuai's character for no reason, his men and horses climbed the wall brainlessly, and suffered heavy casualties. I don't believe that Wang Jing doesn't think about his subordinates at all.

……

Lu Duoxun returned to Tokyo and met Wang Pu first. Wang Pu taught him how to speak, and then went to Que Cheng to face the saint.

Under the gaze of many high-ranking officials and nobles who have been rich and noble for many generations, Lu Duoxun's face has frozen, and he can't control his expression. When he walked up to the main hall, he bowed his head and kowtowed: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty's holy life is boundless." ”

"Flat." A voice from above said. The voice is rough, but the air is insufficient.

Although Lu Duosun was nervous, he spoke clearly, and if he couldn't say anything as a civil official, then don't do it. Lu Duoxun immediately got up, bowed again, and said, "Weichen is ordered to rush to Fengxiang to deliver the appointment certificate." At the invitation of Wang Shizhong (Wang Jing), he walked around the front. At that time, Qin, Cheng, and Rank had already returned to my dynasty......"

A military general next to him completely ignored the etiquette, and directly interjected: "Fengzhou has also been taken." ”

Ludosun hurriedly said "yes". A military general who is qualified to go to the main hall, of course he doesn't dare to reason with it, even the privy envoy can be a military general, and he can also lead the prime minister, and the ordinary civil official is nothing good here.

The Venerable One above was a little impatient at this time, and said, "Just see people." After a while, let the minister recommend a person, and then go to the front to reward Wang Jing and them. ”

Lu Duoxun had a draft in his stomach, and when he heard this, he didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly bowed again and walked to the end of the line on the left.

At this moment, Wang Pu came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, the battle to attack Shu has won and surrendered tens of thousands, but the most important point is only one or two major battles. The success of the first battle of Mighty City and the complete victory of the Battle of Huanghua Valley were indeed decisive battles.

As far as the minister knows, the vanguard Hujie army Guo Shaobu was out of the pass in March, and the grain and grass in the rear have not yet been prepared. The king wants to win in stability; Guo Duenvoy thought that the Shu army was caught off guard and had not yet been deployed properly, and wanted to fight a quick battle. After the war, it was confirmed that what Guo Du saw was accurate, and there was no general unification in the land of Qin and Feng in March, and the two towns were divided into separate formations and could not take care of each other, and the use of troops was chaotic.

Guo Du besieged the mighty city for ten days, and the food and grass in the army were urgent. He also defeated the Shu army in Huanghua Valley and won 20,000 pieces of military food in Tangcang Town...... Then they can drive into the town and cut off the retreat of the Shu army. ”

Wang Pu first spoke decently, and then saw that the ministers could listen attentively, so he blew it up. It exaggerated how Guo Shao had insight into the fighter and how he accurately and appropriately seized the opportunity, as if he Wang Pu had seen it with his own eyes on the front line. In Wang Pu's mouth, Guo Shao has been incarnated as a figure who uses soldiers like a god and calculates no last resort.

His mouth is flying, his words are exaggerated, but he is quite organized, and if the facts themselves are not what he says, they cannot be believed. This remark is basically consistent with the report of the provincial envoy on the front line some time ago...... Lu Duoxun, one of the ministers, was stunned when he saw the power of the prime minister.

Moreover, Wang Pu is the prime minister, and almost all the big and small affairs in the DPRK and China are known. As he spoke, he talked about the refusal of Shu to be a minister. Two days ago, the king of Nanping (Jingnan) sent an envoy to Tokyo to play a secret performance, saying that the emperor of Shu refused to be a minister.

Wang Pu said: "There are unscrupulous generals under the command of the lord of Shu, but he is arrogant and arrogant......"

"Humph!" The person on the throne suddenly let out a loud voice, and the indignation in his voice could not be concealed. Of course, this anger did not come from Wang Pu.

Nanping State secret, Shu Emperor Meng Chang in front of many people, slandered the royal Guo family as "like a lost dog" in the past, Chai Rong is also a mortal with emotions, can he not be angry when he knows this?

The guards waited for Shi Yanchao to come out, and said beside Wang Pu: "Your Majesty please increase your troops and simply destroy the Shu Kingdom!" The last general is willing to be the forerunner! ”

At this time, Wang Pu hurriedly said: "No, just scare that Meng Chang." The envoy of Nanping said that the envoy of Shu to seek peace had arrived in Jingnan. When the envoys of Shu arrived in Tokyo, His Majesty did not see or answer their requests for peace, and the lord of Shu naturally knew that he was afraid. ”

Shi Yanchao said unrelentingly: "I heard that Shu is so rich that the lord of the country is a straw bale, raising thousands of girls, looking for flowers and having fun every day. The lady of the flower is even more famous. Let the last general go and capture Madame Blossom and present it to Your Majesty! ”

"Shi Yanchao, don't be rude, step back!" The privy envoy Wei Renpu shouted.

Shi Yanchao retreated in a huff. Chai Rong did not reprimand, and was extraordinarily lenient towards Shi Yan. Chai Rong simply waved his robe sleeves and said, "Retreat." ”

So everyone had to bow down and thank you, and there was no chance to quarrel again.

Cao Tai, the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, sang the retreat from the dynasty, and then went directly to the harem to see the queen, without covering it up at all. In the main hall, ordinary people can't participate, but the content is not a military secret, and the eunuchs can hear it with their own ears.

Cao Tai described the situation and speech in detail in the main hall. A smile appeared at the corner of Fu Shi's mouth when he heard this, and he said casually: "That Shi Yanchao is really brave and unscrupulous, and he said a call, but none of them were right." ”

Cao Tai echoed: "That is, Shi Yanchao is so powerful that Wei Renpu and Wang Pu of the Privy Council can't help but come out to stop it." In the opinion of the slave family, the officials and the ministers of the Privy Council could not wait to take Huainan first; The Shu road is difficult and dangerous, where is the time to attack and destroy the Shu country? Wang Pu said that he leaked his mouth, just scare Shu Kingdom. ”

Fu Shi smiled without saying a word, and there was a slight coldness in his smile. Shi Yanchao didn't say anything wrong with this sentence, and it was also untrue to say that he caught Mrs. Hua Rui and dedicated it to the official family...... Mrs. Hua Rui is the favorite concubine of Meng Chang, the lord of Shu Kingdom, and she must often go to bed, even if she looks like a fairy, what is the use? The officials will not be interested. Shi Yanchao showed his loyalty in a mess, and he really didn't say a word to the point.

However, Fu Shi has been in a good mood recently, and Guo Shao's performance not only satisfied her, but also surprised her. In these long days, no matter how turbulent the waves are outside, the court is as calm as water every day, and the surprise can make Fu's heart feel some waves and less numb.

Guo Shao has gradually become a crucial chess piece in her mind. Although she pondered the word chess piece is not very good, it is not bad for Guo Shao, on the contrary, there are great benefits for both sides.

A far-reaching game of chess has gradually come alive in Fu's heart. Not only did she want to secure everything she had got, but she also enjoyed the process of "playing chess" itself; Compared with the colorful heads on the chessboard, which is not interesting, the layout of the big chess in the world is more exciting.

If you can get the favor of the official family again...... Fu felt that he had truly surpassed all the women in the world. Madame Blossom is just a plaything of a courtesan, so what good is it to be as famous as she is, to be able to compare with herself? That's just laughing.

A while ago, at the turn of spring and summer, Fu Shi happened to have a cold wind, and suddenly remembered a small plan. If you say that you have abdominal pain in those days, can the imperial doctor diagnose your body from the pulse that it is not a man or a woman?

It should be difficult to diagnose, but it is possible to "inadvertently" hint at the matter when recounting the symptoms, and then ask the imperial doctor to tell the official; The only problem is that the officials in the court will not pay attention to such trivial matters, let alone send the imperial doctor to diagnose their pulse, so some vague hints cannot be known to the officials.

Fu pondered the relationship: when the official family needed to care about him, let him personally send the imperial doctor to diagnose him, and then the imperial doctor had to return to the official's house.

Such an opportunity is not impossible, on the way out...... She felt that time was long, and there was no need to rush a little care. In the near future, the imperial court is going to attack Huainan, and the official family will definitely go to the expedition in person, and when the time comes, they will find a way to follow the expedition; Pretending to be sick on the road, anyway, the stomach hurts so much, look at how anxious those imperial doctors are.

Fu pondered quietly for a long time, and when he saw that Cao Tai was still standing beside him with his hands down, he said, "You have to pay extra attention to the matter of conquering Huainan...... Well, the next time I see Wang Pu, I can remind him: Shu is intimidated by force, and will inevitably try to ask for help from the Eastern Han (Northern Han) and Southern Tang Kingdoms; These two countries will work together to contain our country. As soon as Nantang agreed, he gave me Chaokou Shi, and the teacher became famous. ”

Cao Tai hurriedly whispered: "Niang Niang is wise. From the slave family's point of view, none of the prime ministers in the court can compare to Niangniang. ”

"Hee-hee-hee......" Fu couldn't help laughing, and for a while, his expression revealed some charm that was different from his usual dignified expression.
