Farewell, Daimyo's Mansion.

Guo Shao and his entourage rode a horse and took a carriage to set off along the street of Weiwangfu to the south gate, and there were a number of officials sent by the palace to see them off. Guo Shao looked back again, hugged his fist at Fu Yanqing at the gate, and waved his hand.

Of course, she can't see Second Sister Fu, and it is impossible for her to come out to say goodbye.

But Guo Shao persuaded himself not to be sad, because parting was just to accumulate strength for the surprise and joy of the next reunion. He squinted his eyes and looked at the morning clouds in the eastern sky, and she said: Dan is the morning clouds, twilight is the rain, and the morning twilight, under the balcony.

A group of people went out of the city from the south gate and passed by the post house on the edge of the city, and now the scene is very different. The wind and snow when it came were no more, and some were just warm spring breezes, sandwiched with silk and cold spring; The willow branches on the bank of the moat are new and green, graceful and delicate in the wind.

Daimyo's Mansion to Tokyo, 400 miles. This time it took longer, because the carriage could not outrun the horses; However, Guo Shao has a more brisk illusion.

Rest on the post house, it is more convenient along the way, Hebei is close to the south, the population is relatively dense, and the towns are dense. Guo Shao made some arrangements on the way, asking Zuo You to take people first, and let him go back to Guo's mansion to get something first; And agreed to take the Chen Bridge Gate into Tokyo, and then meet at the city gate.

Along the way, Guo Shao naturally treated Mrs. Gao very attentively, and got along like a sister and brother. When I stayed in the inn, I was even more happy and laughing.

Guo Shao unabashedly talked about his liking for Fu Yanqing's second daughter, and recently wanted to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage. Mrs. Gao was immediately happy: I'll be a matchmaker for you, and I will definitely say that my righteous brother is good.

Mrs. Gao has an identity, so it is better to be a matchmaker. Guo Shao naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately hit it off.

They went all the way to Chenqiaomen, and met Zuo You, who was waiting there, so they merged all the way and sent Mrs. Gao back first. Guo Shao did not send Mrs. Gao to Dong Zunxun's mansion, but went directly to Gao Huaide's house.

Unexpectedly, Gao Huaide was still in the guard division in the south of the city, but the old slave in the house recognized Mrs. Gao, and was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly sent someone to the guard department to find Gao Huaide. He also invited Guo Shao into the door of the house and sat in the living room.

Guo Shao is not polite, wait first. Mrs. Gao also sat with him in the living room and chatted with him...... The fatigue of the journey did not affect her interest at all, but seeing the splendid prosperity of Tokyo and the prosperity of the Gao family's mansion, she must be ready to enjoy the blessings!

After waiting for a long time, I saw a tall man in his thirties wearing a purple robe hurriedly walked over, who was Gao Huaide?

"Brother!" Mrs. Gao was the first to stand up.

Gao Huaide looked at her with round eyes, but he didn't greet her first, but ordered without looking back: "Someone, go and find Dong Zunxun immediately, and let him come to my house immediately." ”

"Eldest sister, ...... you" Gao Huaide was very emotional, "How did you come back?" ”

Gao smiled with tears in his eyes: "The guard Ma Budu waited for General Guo, risking his life to rescue me from the Liao State...... I finally saw my relatives, I thought this was the ...... for this life" After saying that, her tears fell, and she couldn't cry.

Gao Huaide recognized the dusty Guo Shao at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and worship. Guo Shao immediately flashed up and grabbed his arm: "I can't do it, senior brother......"

"Guo Dashuai is gracious, please accept Gao's kowtow, so that I can feel at ease." Gao Huaide insisted.

Guo Shao said: "I didn't save Mrs. Gao for merit. First, I was impressed by Dong Zunxun's filial piety, which was quite impressive at that time...... The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but the parent is not there. Second, when I thought of my sister and mother, a senior general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had fallen into the hands of the enemy in Hebei, I was angry and ashamed in my heart, and I had to do this! Brother Gao, you and I are generals in the same dynasty, wearing the same robes and clothes, I regard Brother Gao as brothers, if you see me like this again, won't you treat me as a brother? ”

Gao Huaide came as soon as he heard him open his mouth, and he said it one by one, and he didn't thank him for a while, and he didn't worship it. Guo Shao pulled him to the chair and sat down, and sighed: "You and I are both martial artists who work hard in battle, and brothers are very important in the battle formation." ”

"Yes, Brother Guo is right." Gao Huaide nodded, "What's more, you and I are both serving in the Guards Division, maybe one day we will have to rely on each other." ”

Guo Shao looked serious, and on this topic, he told how he and his brother Yang Biao met and how they coexisted with life and death on the battlefield. He sighed, "That night, we had a conversation. In this world, it is difficult to live without brothers. The sword mountain and the sea of blood, the back can only be handed over to the brother who can support life and death! ”

Gao Huaide said: "During the battle of Haozhou, Brother Guo first broke the east gate and then opened the south gate, and we have already killed the enemy side by side. ”

"Haha, that's true!" Guo Shao laughed.

The relationship between the two generals, who were almost unknown, heated up sharply in just half an hour. Guo Shao can fully believe that Gao Huaide may not be willing to stick a knife in his ribs now, but he will definitely not do anything that falls into the ground, and his emotional tendency will be obvious; To a certain extent, as long as the family does not overwhelm the entire Gao family, Gao Huaide is also a person who can be trusted...... Guo Shao believes that even if a person is ruthless, he will not really be willing to take revenge.

This kind of relationship is like Li Gu and Guo Shao...... Li Gu prepared the best raw materials for Guo Shao at a critical moment, is Guo Shao willing to stab Li Gu in the back? Anyway, he would never have been able to do such a thing.

At this moment, Dong Zunxun arrived. This kid looks no more than two years younger than Guo Shao, he is even more exaggerated, he knelt on the ground after "plopping", crawled over, a man cried, this scene made Guo Shao's heart sour. After all, blood is thicker than water, and people still value their families from ancient times to the present.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a while, and Mrs. Gao introduced Guo Shao again.

Dong Zunxun didn't say a word, "dong dong dong" kowtowed three times, and directly swore an oath: "I owe Engong a life, if I can use it in the future, just use it!" Up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I am not a human being if I frown! ”

Guo Shao hurriedly helped him up and said: "What do you say, you still live well and be filial to your mother." If Mrs. Gao's white-haired person sends a black-haired person, can she feel better? ”

When she said this, Gao glanced sideways slightly, as if to indicate that her hair was not gray.

She said: "General Guo recognizes me as a righteous sister, and I am commensurate with your uncle and brother, so you can call me uncle." ”

"Uncle!" Dong Zunxun, this kid is really a straight-hearted person.

Guo Shao's forehead was slightly dark, this kid looked like he was a little younger than himself, but he was also of the same age, and blurted out: "My uncle is the ...... Why is it a little uncomfortable to be called by you? ”

"Haha......" Gao Huaide was also happy, laughed, and slapped the coffee table, "Brother Guo stays tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return, let's talk happily!" ”

Guo Shao said: "Another day, another day." Sister Yi has just come back, and your family will talk more. You and my brother will see each other often in the future, and the future will be long. Such...... I'll stay longer, you're welcome, and I'll take my leave. ”

The family sent Guo Shao outside the gate, and then watched him ride away.

After walking for a while, when the surroundings were relatively secluded, Guo Shao found out the list in his arms. It's what Zuo You asked to go back and get in advance.

Seeing this, Zuo You rode his horse side by side: "Didn't the lord give this thing to Gao Huaide?" ”

Guo Shao said: "As soon as I entered the Gao Mansion, their family's treatment of me exceeded expectations, and I temporarily decided to endure that incident first." If we call Gao Huaide to help immediately, our utilitarianism is a bit too obvious...... Anyway, the senses are not very good. ”

"That's right, if Gao Huaide can treat the lord as his own, the future will be long." Zuo You nodded.

Guo Shao said with a smile: "I said the same thing in the house, and I said that it will be a long time to come." ”

Guo Shao looked at the list on the paper again...... After the Battle of Shouzhou, Li Chongjin made things difficult and rejected Guo Shao's appointment list, and then sent someone to send an official document in the name of the Guard Division. On the official document are dozens of middle and low-level generals selected by Li Chongjin.

This is good, Li Chongjin directly exposed his power base, at least a large part of his subordinates, and he didn't have to bother to investigate.

Now although Li Chongjin is still the commander of the first position of the Guards Division, he is far away in Huainan as a festival envoy and can't manage the affairs of the Guards Division. This kind of opportunity, if you don't help him clean up the portal, I'm sorry for myself.

Guo Shao does not move the general, he will move the foundation of the bottom, and he will do it calmly and will not make any noise. It was so difficult in Shouzhou at the beginning, and it took me to get through it with my head...... At that time, all kinds of interference and suppression of Guo Shao were mainly Li Chongjin. Guo Shaoxin said: Come and don't be rude, why should Lao Tzu be polite to you.

Anyway, the grudge has already been settled, not that you can resolve it by showing weakness with your soft hands, just break the jar and break it.

Guo Shao turned his head to Zuo You and said: "The Southern Tang soldiers surrendered in Huainan, among which there are more than 20,000 people, are organized into the Huaide Army, and they are also under the control of our guards. Before I left for Hebei at the beginning of the year, I had heard about it in the Guards Division. But at that time, it was difficult to do it, and it was too late; This time, Gao Huaide was willing to help, and it went smoothly. ”

Zuo You said: "It's really a good idea to send all the people in Li Chongjin in the right compartment to the Huaide Army, Mingsheng and secretly surrender, and let them go over there." The Huaide army is a surrendered army from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it will definitely be defended, and it has no combat effectiveness, and Li Chongjin's people must at least be excluded from the elite of the guard division. ”

Guo Shao nodded with great satisfaction: "Exactly, the Huaide Army was originally under the control of the guards, so we had to transfer some people over." No one wants to go, and if the people of that guy (Li Chongjin) don't go, who will go? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, but it seemed a bit like a sinister smile.

"I'll go home first, and we'll talk about it another day." Guo Shaodao, then clamped the horse's belly and shouted, "Drive!" ”

The group walked through the north and south streets of the inner city, Guo Shao looked at the wide road, and couldn't help but glance south...... The year before last, he was still striking iron at the Longjin Bridge, and he was the leader of the forbidden army. The first opportunity for promotion was also in the spring, the spring before last...... Before you know it, two years have passed.

....
