Guo Shao set off the next day and crossed Bagong Mountain. Most of the right wing of the Hujie army was stationed on the east side of the mountain, and after Li Jixun stepped down from the forbidden army, Zhao Chao commanded Zhao Chao to lead this army; At this time, they were short of military rations and waited for Li Gu to transfer military rations. Guo Shao decided not to see Zhao Chao for the time being, and went to Shouzhou first.

As for the left camp outside Shouzhou City, all the generals heard that they all spontaneously came to the Chinese army.

Guo Shao also did not appear in front of his generals for a while, pacing up and down in the houses of the small village wrapped in the camp of the army, feeling very bored. Two things: the first thing, the general of the subordinate asked for merit to be promoted to the military position, there was no opportunity to speak in Yangzhou, and besides, there were a bunch of meritorious soldiers not one or two; Only the guard Sima Bujun Si Li Chongjin. The second thing is the matter of the Fu family.

In Fu Yanqing's letter, he said very vaguely, just inviting Guo Shao to reminisce about old friendships. Last night, Guo Shao analyzed the relationship again, and felt that the attitude of the Fu family was not optimistic.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were many high-ranking families of several generations, and there were many capable young generals. Why did Fu Yanqing write a letter alone with an ambiguous attitude towards herself? It must be the queen's meaning, and Fu Yanqing can choose Guo Shao.

Now that the queen has spoken...... Guo Shao is also a bachelor who is not married, does Fu Yanqing still need to be vague? The only reason is that the Fu family may still look down on Guo Shao a little bit, and want him to go to Hebei to observe and audit more.

Guo Shao only started to make his fortune at the beginning of last year, and in less than two years, of course, the foundation of the family is not comparable to those warlords; Although he is an elite soldier, his status is not up or down. Ordinary big families may think that his status is high enough, but the Fu family, a portal where the daughters of generations of kings can marry the emperor, are obviously not so satisfied with Guo Shao's status and thin people.

Second Sister Fu is already twenty-three years old, and in ancient times, she was simply a girl at the level of a "leftover fighter". If any person with status could make Fu Yanqing look up to him, I'm afraid he would have married a long time ago...... The "leftover fighters" in this era are generally not a problem for sisters, and everyone's beautiful marriage depends on her parents, and it has little to do with herself.

Guo Shao thought about it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Fu Yanqing.

With Fu Yanqing's attitude giving him a basin of cold water, Guo Shaocai reflected on himself, his foundation was really fragile and he was very insecure. Like Guo Shao, a military general and a rookie in the forbidden army who only relies on military merits, once he misses, the Guo family will have to become nothing, and the reliability and safety are too low.

But he was not willing to give up his marriage to the Fu family easily...... It is precisely because of the thinness that we have to hold together with the family with big roots and deep roots! Moreover, the queen once said that the second sister looks very similar to her, and Guo Shao is purely full of longing for the second sister, even if he has never seen it.

There was once a Westerner who said that when you really fall in love with a woman, you will feel that all other women in the world are bleak.

Guo Shao felt that this sentence was a bit exaggerated, but it seemed to make sense, he did think that no one could compare to Queen Fu.

The Yang family that the emperor rewarded, his face was not shown at that time, and many people on the scene were stunned, objectively if he was not very beautiful, it would not have been treated by Emperor Da Zhou and Zhao Kuangyin and others, like a rare treasure; There are many women in the world, but true beauty is still scarce.

But even for a beauty like Yang, Guo Shao just thinks that she looks okay, but he doesn't feel too much...... Even when he went back on the night he was rewarded, he forgot that there was a person like Yang. This is his own problem, not that Yang's posture is not enough.

However, Fu Ermei is completely different in Guo Shao's heart, and Guo Shao has always remembered Fu's words in his heart...... The second sister and I look very similar.

At this moment, Zuo You walked into the room and asked, "What is the matter with the lord?" ”

Guo Shao said: "I went to Yangzhou to face the saint, but I didn't have the opportunity to ask for merit for the soldiers." ”

Zuo You said disapprovingly: "The coming day is long." Didn't the lord be promoted to the commander of the military department and the envoy of the Xuzhou Festival? This is already a good result. ”

Guo Shao nodded in agreement, and then went to the hall that was the lobby of the Chinese army with Zuo You. I saw that there were dozens of people standing here, and when they saw Guo Shao coming in, all their eyes turned to him and bowed one after another.

Guo Shao raised his hand and signaled that everyone was exempt. He first reviewed the left and right, there were a total of six regular armies in the left wing of the Hujie Army, of which most of the generals of the first army and the second army defected to the tent, and also installed a few brothers, and these people have served under their own command since Qin and Feng, and the foundation of the two armies is very stable...... The remaining four army officers and soldiers have also established their prestige because of the Great Destruction of Shouzhou, but only a few people such as Deng Fei have a clear attitude and are willing to serve.

If Guo Shao can promote another group of generals, the situation will be even more different.

Guo Shao said straightforwardly: "Two things, first, according to the military order of the Privy Council, the left and right wings of the Hujie army attacked Haozhou; Later, I will ask the generals of the left chamber to confirm the transfer order with me. Three days later, Luo Yanhuan led his troops to dispatch one day in advance, and released more scout rangers along the way.

The second thing, there are generals who have made a lot of contributions in Shouzhou, let's discuss it, let Zuo You make a list of submissions, and report to the Department of Guards for approval. ”

At this time, all the generals congratulated Guo Shaojian on the festival and was promoted to the envoy of the guard and the military secretary, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became noisy. Guo Shao didn't care, he only asked when he was in a commotion: "Who knows the commander of the right wing and Zhao Chao?" ”

One of the generals said, "The last general has worked under him." Zhao Du envoy...... It's very good. A few months ago, Huainan deployed Li Chongjin to break through Zhengyangnan**, captured 3,000 people, and handed them over to Zhao Chao to take care of. Unexpectedly, he slaughtered all 3,000 unarmed people overnight, and the corpses were full of horrific sight. ”

Guo Shao was stunned, and said in his heart: Last time in Jinyang, Shi Yanchao killed a few rebels and a few women, it was simply not a matter; I don't know why Shi Yanchao has a reputation for killing, but Zhao Chao doesn't.

At this moment, suddenly a newspaper came from outside the door, and a young general delivered a letter. Guo Shao opened it and passed it to the general.

Li Chuyun frowned and said: "Zhao Chao's army is short of food, so he can eat in Shouzhou City if he wants...... The last general thought that he could not be allowed to enter the city, and that some grain reserves could be transferred from Shouzhou to be transported to him first. ”

Guo Shao thought it was good, and immediately ordered: "Send someone to see Zhao Chao and order him to start in five days, and I will help him solve the military rations." Strictly ordered Zhao Chao not to kill the Huainan army and civilians indiscriminately, otherwise he would never be spared! ”

One of the generals said, "There will be a word at the end." Zhao Chao and Zhao Hongyin are world friends and family members, and it is said that they have a good relationship......"

Guo Shao is not familiar with Zhao Chao, but he is like thunder to Zhao Hongyin.

The impression of Zhao Chao only stayed on the eve of the Battle of Gaoping, Zhao Chao was a general in the Crane Army at that time, and on the way of the emperor's personal expedition, he could not easily fight a decisive battle, and as a result, he was locked up in a city on the road, and the Zhou army was only released when he returned to the court...... Guo Shao thinks that this person is very bad at seizing opportunities.

What a good opportunity for the battle of Gaoping, a pawn surnamed Ma in the inner temple has risen straight up; Zhao Kuangyin and others are even like riding on the clouds, climbing to the sky in one step. Even low-level generals like Guo Shao, who hovered between the ten generals and the capital, got up because of the battle. And Zhao Chao was a person who could speak in front of the emperor before the battle of Gaoping, but now he has become a subordinate of Guo Shao and others.

And the reason why Zhao Hongyin is like thunder...... He is Zhao Kuangyin's father! But now Zhao Hongyin's son is more promising.

Guo Shao didn't have a good impression of Zhao Chao, the right wing of the Hujie Army, but he couldn't help it for the time being, and he didn't want to grudge with him.

……

The list of meritorious promotions was reported to Li Chongjin, and Guo Shao had expected that this guy would not be so cheap.

Sure enough, three days later, just as the army was about to start, Li Chongjin sent more than 20 generals! The leader took the appointment letter of the Guards Division and said, "I am here to take up my post on the orders of the Guards Sima Bu Military Division." ”

Guo Shao said angrily: "What about the appointment letter of the meritorious soldiers of the Hujie Army? ”

"The appointment of military colonels and adjutant generals needs to be submitted to the Privy Council for review, and then the Guards Department can decide." Li Dashuai believed that Guo Du was a nepotist and exaggerated his military merits, and could not be promoted. ”

"Then what military merits do you have?" Guo Shao was furious in front of dozens of left-wing generals.

The generals were all indignant when they saw this.

The person who came was about to say what military merits they had, but Guo Shao suddenly snatched the appointment in the man's hand and was about to tear it up!

Suddenly, the noisy hall fell silent, and this scene was simply weird! Everyone looked at the piece of paper in Guo Shao's hand...... No, it wasn't just a piece of paper, first Li Chongjin's face, and then the prestige of the Guards Division!

Guo Shao took a deep breath, let go of one hand gently, coldly handed it back to the general, and said: "The official family Jinkou Yuyan, this general vanguard army directly obeys the orders of the official family!" Now that the army is on the march, a temporary change of troops will not be conducive to the stability of the army's morale; Please return it to the guard Ma Bu Sidu Commander Li Dashuai! Forgiveness will not be able to be ordained. ”

The person who came was stunned, and said while retreating: "Guo Dashuai actually rebelled against the appointment of the peak in public, then let's retire first." ”

At this time, the generals came back to their senses from the surprise just now, and said: "Li Du has deceived people too much!" "The Great Zhou Army can't be rewarded for its military merits, it's the first time I've heard of it!"

Some people also persuaded: "Li Du is in charge of the guard division, and now that the army is outside, it is okay for the emperor to conquer in person." When there is no war, all the armies of the Guard Division must be commanded by Ma Budu, so we can endure it, or just endure it. ”

Guo Shao made a straight face and said: "I said, who is honest to me, I know in my heart, and I will never treat the soldiers badly." Li Chongjin is an obstacle, I still have a way, report directly to the Privy Council! ”

Guo Shao said bluntly: "The privy envoy Wei Renpu and the deputy envoy Wang Pu have a relationship with me, and this matter will definitely be handled impartially." Zuo You, you can transcribe a copy of the recital sheet for the merit. ”

He added: "The army will set off as scheduled, you don't have to worry about other things, you just need to fight hard." There is only justice in the imperial court! ”

Guo Shao turned around and walked out of the hall, thinking of Second Sister Fu again, the legendary girl who looked about the same as the queen, was already twenty-three years old and couldn't wait. Secretly: This battle can only be successful, not defeated!
