Chapter 247: Where to Run
In the sunny palace room, the two couldn't hide their short-term joy and impulse after reuniting. But he regained his senses a little, and the huge pressure of the situation returned to Guo Shao's heart.
After a moment of silence, Guo Shao said: "At present, with the righteousness and reward of the queen and the center, we should be able to stabilize most of the forbidden army. However, the most important thing is to deploy a greater superiority in troops...... Gao Huaide's right wing can be borrowed in advance, and then gather the other half of the left wing of the Hujie army that is disbanded and rested. ”
He thought for a moment and said, "I want to ask for a decree to open the treasury immediately and cash in the reward for Gao Huaide's right wing; Let the Privy Council go to Gao Huaide with money and military orders, so that he can gather troops and horses more quickly. ”
Fu Jinzhan's face was flushed, and he said softly: "I depend on you." Then there is something more important, the official family must not make mistakes. ”
After hearing this, Guo Shao suddenly felt a sense of oppression in his heart. Even if Chai Rong couldn't get up while lying on the bed, he still didn't dare to ignore it, and he couldn't help asking: "There will be no accidents in the official family's bedroom?" ”
Fu Jinzhan said: "I still have dozens of people in my hands who have been transferred to the emperor's bedroom. These people may not be very useful in the battle array, but they have also trained martial arts since childhood, and they are very useful for close 'guards'. ”
Guo Shao nodded slightly: "I will send Lu Chengyong to lead his own soldiers to guard outside the Jinxiang Palace." ”
Chai Rong is really too powerful, and no one dares to move when he is there; Zhao Kuangyin didn't make a move before, probably because he was afraid that Chai Rong would still come forward and thought that the time was not ripe. Guo Shao was under a lot of pressure this time, in addition to dealing with Zhao Kuangyin, there was also the reason for Emperor Chai Rong; Chai Rong was bedridden, but he could still speak. Even now Guo Shao is a little afraid, in terms of prestige and authority, he and the emperor are not the same level at all, what he did this time is really bold!
Since the five dynasties, the Zhou Dynasty established by Guo Wei should be the most popular and the most prosperous dynasty in terms of culture and martial arts. Chai Rong was righteously obedient to Taizu and took over the country, and immediately relied on his ability to stabilize the throne. The internal government is relatively clear, and reforms covering all aspects have been carried out, and the country has gradually become stronger; Externally, it gradually seized the key places of Shu and Southern Tang and other major powers, and launched offensives against Liao and Khitan one after another. Since Chai Rong ascended the throne, he has basically not lost a battle. In just four years, the results of cultural governance and martial arts have been huge, and Chai Rong deserves to be a strong master of a generation!
But the strong fortress often begins to collapse from the inside, even if Guo Shao doesn't do it, Zhao Kuangyin will not stop either. Guo Shao couldn't help but think about it again, feeling that Chai Rong couldn't turn the tables, and his unbridled madness made Guo Shao not give him another chance.
At this time, Guo Shao said goodbye and walked out of the Jinxiang Palace.
Soon saw a group of generals, Guo Shao took a group of generals to the side hall next to the main entrance of Jinxiang Hall to discuss matters. The original purpose of this place was to be a place where the emperor summoned his ministers, and the ministers rested while waiting for the saints.
Guo Shao said straightforwardly: "I just entered the palace to see the queen. What needs to be done at present is to raise the Huaide Department to gather closer to the direction of the imperial city, and the second is to gather the remaining troops of the left wing of the Hujie Army to form an army. ”
Li Chuyun suggested that the heralds should be used to carry out the orders, first order the commanders, and then ask the commanders to send people to notify the low-level generals, and convey them layer by layer, and it is estimated that they can gather into an army one after another after tomorrow. In his opinion, Guo Shao's shogunate organization was already very efficient, and it was more troublesome for the forbidden army and other armies to mobilize from the state of demobilization; After all, there is no such thing as broadcasting to deliver information quickly.
Just after everyone said what to do, Zuo You suddenly mentioned: "What does the lord think, what will Zhao Kuangyin do now?" ”
The crowd was silent for a moment. Luo Yanhuan opened his mouth and said, "Will you mobilize your iron cavalry to fight with us?" ”
Guo Shao's contradiction with Zhao Kuangyin was already very big, and when he heard this, he said with a cold face: "He is fighting me now, that's better!" Take the opportunity to purge his people for the crime of treason! ”
Li Chuyun groaned: "I think that Zhao Kuangyin may prepare to escape in advance. ”
Guo Shao felt that it made sense, not to mention that the other forbidden troops had no intention of civil war at this time, even the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army might not have much morale. Zhao Kuangyin has no chance of winning, and running away first may not be the best choice under no choice.
Guo Shao immediately said: "If Zhao Kuangyin wants to run, where should he run?" ”
"Wu Yue, Jingnan and other places, he definitely didn't dare to go. An edict from the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty called the lord of the country to arrest and offer it. Li Chuyun touched the beard of his chin and said, "Among the big countries, the Southern Tang Dynasty is the most unlikely place, during the Battle of Huainan, Zhao Kuangyin defeated the Southern ** several times, and the grievances are not shallow, and now the Southern Tang Dynasty does not have much ambition to compete for hegemony with the Central Plains, and Zhao Kuangyin is also unstable."
In my opinion, Zhao Kuangyin is a person who cares about reputation very much, although he is the best place to save his life by joining the Khitan, but after all, it is the country of Hulu, which is not good for his reputation.
Shu is unruly, and he is also very disrespectful to the official family, and the lord of Shu still claims to be the emperor under the threat of force many times. But Shu has never shown much signs of progress...... It depends on whether Zhao Kuangyin just wants to hide his name and make a living, or does he still want to make a comeback? If you still have ambitions, Shu is not a good place to go. ”
"Northern Han?" Guo Shaodao.
Li Chuyun nodded and said, "I also think that the most likely place for Zhao Kuangyin to run is the Northern Han Dynasty." ”
Guo Shao immediately said: "If Zhao Kuangyin wants to fight, maybe he can gather a little people; But if he runs, there will definitely not be many people willing to abandon his wife and follow him. We can now urgently send two horse teams to ambush on Chenqiaoyi in the north and Huazhou Road in the west to intercept and deploy in advance. In addition, let the center order Li Yun in Luzhou and Xiangxun in Hedong to arrest Zhao Kuangyin! ”
Xiang Xun will definitely help Guo Shao, he doesn't have much position, but he has a good relationship with Guo Shao. Li Yun had already decided to marry the royal family (Chai Zongxun) and was more loyal to the Zhou Dynasty; But at present, Guo Shao and others are not claiming to have rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty, and Li Yun can't figure out what is happening in Tokyo in a short time, and he should also obey Tokyo's holy decree.
Guo Shao and the others got busy and began to make various deployments again.
……
Gao Huaide was stationed in a right-wing station in the southern outer city, and after he and his generals received the "commendation" from the Privy Council, they felt a little more at ease. It can probably be speculated that Guo Shaobu has entered the imperial city and controlled the center; In this way, Gao Huaide's head was at least saved.
Of course he hopes that Guo Shao wins! Gao Huaide's sister is Guo Shao's sister-in-law, and she has close contacts and kindness; The nephew was thrown under Guo Shao, an uncle. In this case, as long as Guo Shao wins, he will not only be in no danger, but will operate at this time, and he will definitely not be suppressed as before; On the other hand, if Zhao Kuangyin gains power, can he have a good life?
During the Huainan period, Zhao Kuangyin said in front of the emperor that he was negligent in governing the army and did not look like a person leading the army, and these grievances had not been eliminated; In addition, Zhao Kuangyin is Guo Shao's sworn enemy...... All kinds of things are circling in Gao Huaide's mind, and he is completely sure: once Zhao Kuangyin gains power, even if he is lucky enough to save his life, the future of this life will definitely be over.
Fortunately, the situation is good now, and Gao Huaide just breathed a sigh of relief. But he still can't move troops, he is not like Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin, who are very deep in an army; Without a military order, he could not convince his subordinates to mobilize the armies. You can only follow the rules.
Not long after, it was reported that someone from the Privy Council had arrived. Gao Huaide hurriedly led his troops out of the camp to watch, only to see a group of dozens of horsemen walking slowly, and there were a few carts in the middle.
"General Gao." A strong man in an official robe stepped forward to salute, the privy deputy envoy Wei Renpu!
Gao Huaide hurriedly said: "Meet Deputy Envoy Wei." ”
Wei Renpu jumped off his horse, without saying a word, and shouted: "Lift it up!" ”
The subordinates immediately lifted the linen cloth covering the cart. "Ahh Oh......" Gao Huaide's men immediately widened.
I saw a few cars full of copper coins! Wei Renpu smiled and said: "Not long ago, the center ordered to reward the soldiers, so I came with the promised reward." Gather together all the battalions of soldiers, and when they are gathered together in the inner city, they will divide the money. ”
"The Privy Council has been ordered to reward soldiers, how can we not believe it, this ...... Cashing out so fast. Gao Huaide said casually. His heart immediately lifted up, seeing that he was going to use soldiers like this!
Every time a large army goes out, it is common to reward the whole army before calling the group to go out to their contentment. The current situation is too similar to the dispatch of troops; But now it's much easier, and you can get it by just gathering around Tokyo...... And when you go out to fight, you have to sell your life if you walk one or two thousand miles.
Wei Renpu led the people into the barracks and read out the order of the Privy Council in front of the generals outside the Chinese army. After reading the general's order, hand it over to Gao Huaide and let him check it with the deputy general and the general. Obviously, there is nothing to verify, the deputy privy envoy (who was a few days ago) personally brought the military order, there can be no fake.
"The money is all the imperial salary of the inner treasury allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Wei Renpu added, "It's too time-consuming to distribute to the soldiers now, you will escort it to the Chinese army first, and then distribute it when you arrive at the place." The main force of the right wing of the Hujie army was mobilized and gathered in the southwest corner of the imperial city, and then divided the troops to control the western intersections; When the settlement is settled, the armies will be rewarded slowly. ”
"The last general will obey!" The generals gladly answered.
Gao Huaide was ecstatic, for him, his current situation in the whole affair was the most suitable one. Engaging too early was risky, and he couldn't restrain his subordinates from mutiny, which was reluctant for him; If he doesn't participate, he won't have a share of the fruits of victory.
It was precisely when this general trend gradually settled that he stepped forward to become an important force...... This is the most secure and rewarding time.
Guo Shao is really good at employing people, and he is very good at thinking for him! Gao Huaide felt for a while that Guo Shao's style was a little inconsistent with his age, and a person in his early twenties could think about it so carefully and appropriately.
After Gao Huaide sent Wei Renpu away, his face was about to laugh in front of everyone.
"You and others will leave people and horses to guard each gate, and the rest will gather outside the Chongming Gate, there must be no mistake!" Gao Huaide raised his head and shouted calmly.
