The sun had just risen, and the winter sun was weak and could not dispel the cold of the morning, but the bright light gave the illusion of relief. Guo Shao sat on the chair above, his body was straight, his helmet was placed upright on the table next to him, and the clothes and armor on his body were also clean and tidy.

As soon as he clicked, everyone turned their heads to look at him. Posture and temperament can affect the people around them very much, everyone sees Guo Shao's image, all of them are in awe, no one is joking, even Shi Yanchao listens honestly.

Guo Shao spoke very simply and concisely, without half a sentence of nonsense or quoting scriptures, and he talked about the recent events in a while, saving everyone's time. He didn't speak quickly, and everyone could come to their senses, but he spoke very fluently.

At this time, a young general came in and reported: "The envoy of the Privy Council has arrived." Guo Shao said: "Please." ”

After that, he walked out of the lobby with the generals and waited at the door to see Wang Pu. After a while, I saw Wang Pu walking over quickly, everyone hugged their fists and wanted to see each other with a military salute, Wang Pu bowed his hands and said: "It just so happens that the garrison will be rotated on duty in a few days, and the old man will send the defense maps of the various armies over, and the red tape will be waived, and the old man will have to go to the guard department for a while." ”

Wang Pu walked into the lobby, sat down under the chair next to him, and then carefully took out a few from his arms, looked at them and handed them to Guo Shao. Guo Shao also browsed it first and said, "Xihua Gate is handed over to the inner hall?" ”

"Yes." Wang Pu said, "The Tiger Ben Army is the main field soldier of the front division of the palace, and there is no need to complicate too much palace defense, which is also what the Queen Mother means." ”

Guo Shao nodded, and handed it to the general of the palace front division to confirm the order to transfer the army. Xindao: It seems that Fu Jinzhan still has a lot of means, seeing that she has successively controlled the classes, she will do this with confidence.

Everyone checked it and said that there was no problem...... The military order sent by the privy envoy in person is basically fine. At this time, Guo Shao said casually: "Since Wang Yuanjun is here, go to the study to have a cup of tea?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Pu said straightforwardly: "It's okay." ”

Guo Shao was slightly surprised, just now Wang Pu said that he was going to rush to the Guard Division. He said to the people, "Let the men disperse if they have nothing to do." ”

So he took Wang Pu to his study to entertain him. Wang Pu sat down and waited for the officials to put the tea on the table, and then said: "The forbidden army has been almost reorganized, when General Guo met the Queen Mother, did he talk about the use of troops abroad and where he planned to start?" ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, thinking about whether the choice of attacking Shu was comprehensive, after all, Wang Pu was a privy envoy.

At this time, Wang Pu said indifferently: "The Central Plains has been in war for many years, the population has been killed and injured, and there are too many people fleeing, only so many people have so much territory, no matter how they govern, they can't cure it. ”

"That's true." Guo Shao almost raised his hands in agreement, and asked quietly, "There is no great threat in the south of the Central Plains today, and Wang Yuanjun does not advocate continuing to attack Youzhou?" ”

Wang Pu was stunned, he seemed to think of the fact that at the beginning of the year in the Northern Battle of Zhuozhou, the Zhou army was completely at a disadvantage, and slowly spoke: "At this time and that time, the emperor has died, and the country has finally stabilized, and it is not the best way to attack Liao and take risks. It is prudent to move south first. ”

Guo Shao took out a knife from his waist, walked to the table, took the knife and scratched a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Pu. After doing it, he remembered that Wei Renpu had done this before, and sure enough, people are easy to influence each other.

Wang Pu looked at it: "Shu Kingdom? ”

Guo Shao said: "I'm thinking about this place for the time being, what does Wang Yuanjun think?" ”

Wang Pu groaned: "You have to take Hanzhong and Jingnan first...... Jingnan originally served the Central Plains, and it was best if he was willing to accept the land, otherwise he could also borrow the road. The main thing is Hanzhong (Shannan West Road), taking Hanzhong can shorten the supply and grain route for our army; The Shu army could only travel all the way to Bashan to supply grain and transport troops. ”

Guo Shaodao: "At that time, the Queen Mother will convene the ministers and discuss them in front of the emperor before making arrangements." ”

"Very good." Wang Pu responded, then got up and said, "The old man will leave first." ”

Guo Shao sent Wang Pu away, and took out the military order to transfer the defense and pondered it carefully. The specific deployment is to be arranged for the generals of various armies, but he has to figure out the way from the intention of arming the defense to the realization process; You can't do one thing and you don't even know you can do it; Fortunately, he has worked in the forbidden army for many years, and he is very familiar with the transfer from the top to the bottom. Guo Shao is accustomed to caring about the details of the various steps of a certain thing, probably a habit of thinking, because his understanding of the world has always been the composition of molecules, atoms and other particles.

Stayed in the front of the palace until noon, and casually asked about some specific military affairs that appeared in front of him. When he is on duty, he usually spends at least half a day in the front of the palace, which is not what he wants to do, but he is used to soaking his time on it, doing his best, and feeling more at ease...... There are only one or two important things that are in his schedule for a while.

After lunch, Guo Shao neither went to the barracks nor went straight home today, but went to Mrs. Chen's courtyard in the west of the city.

On a sunny afternoon day, Mrs. Chen was very quiet. Guo Shao drank tea in the hall and waited for a while, casually looking at the scene here. The mansions at all levels in Tokyo are relatively similar, but the atmosphere of each person's place is different. Mrs. Chen has a very deliberate elegance here, at first glance the decoration is simple and the color is monotonous, but for example, the antique furniture of the Qin and Han dynasties can see her hypocrisy. Some people simply arrange it to save trouble, but Mrs. Chen is purely deliberately pursuing that kind of elegance.

However, her hypocrisy did not disgust Guo Shao, but found it interesting.

After a while, I saw Mrs. Chen come out. She was wearing a light-colored skirt, with no extra color, but it could be seen that the material was very well cut and finely cut, and her face was actually covered with a very light layer of gauze. "The concubine has seen General Guo." Mrs. Chen's salute, from her lowered eyes to her very appropriate movements, Guo Shao estimated that she might not be as good as her when she touched the real lady.

Guo Shao smiled, didn't stand up, and casually pointed to the cushion next to him and said, "Thank you Mrs. Chen for your hospitality." ”

Chen Jiali sat down on her knees with a very deliberate shyness, reached out to hold the teapot in one hand, held the bottom with the other, and poured the tea into Guo Shao's teacup very accurately. She reached out again and picked up the teacup and said softly, "It's not hot or cold, it's just right." ”

Guo Shaohao took the teacup and sniffed the fragrance of tea, took a sip, put it down and said, "The dowry entrusted to Mrs. Chen last time, I don't know if Mrs. Chen helped prepare it?" ”

Chen Jiali glanced sideways slightly, and Aunt Sun, who was standing at the inner door, turned around and went in. Chen Jiali said softly: "General Guo, wait a minute, Aunt Sun will go and get the gift list." ”

Guo Shao looked satisfied, pondered for a moment and said, "Mrs. Chen is originally from the Southern Tang Dynasty...... I was suddenly a little curious, if one day the Zhou Dynasty wants to attack the Southern Tang Kingdom, I want to mix in your merchant gang, is Madam Chen willing? ”

Chen Jiali said: "If General Guo speaks in person, I will naturally not refuse." ”

"Very good." Guo Shao said with a smile.
