With the autumn winds in September, the weather should be getting cooler and cooler. On the side of the road, the wide sycamore leaves fluttered in the wind, like paper money, and the heaven and earth were embellished with a murderous atmosphere out of thin air. The army is marching in the midst of such a slump.

The dust on the post road that was stepped on by soldiers and horses fluttered in the autumn wind, mixed with the black shadows of fallen leaves, and the air seemed to fly sand and rocks. In addition to the army on the main road, there were also several small roads between the rice fields on both sides, and countless people marched in groups, as if the land had been occupied by moving ants.

Guo Shao turned over and got on the horse, his face was very calm. At this point, the relaxed state of mind is over, and even if nothing happens, the heart cannot relax. After all, with 20,000 troops in hand, it would be impossible to make a mistake.

The middle coat on his body was gray cotton, because the white cotton lining was easy to stain the collar on the smoky road, and it looked even dirtier. The head of the waist is red satin with a pattern embroidered on it, which is something that can only be worn by high-ranking military generals...... He had just brushed his teeth in the morning and had taken a shower, and now he was completely clean. After taking a shower, I still muttered to the shadows in the water: I have found my best!

He just turned 20 at the end of last month, and there was no celebration or publicity, and no one around him paid attention to what his birthday was. However, Guo Shao looks more mature...... It is probably the reason why he has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time to go to war, although the face is flat, the skin is yellow and old; The muscles on his body made him look like an ordinary offspring. His appearance is completely different from that of the high-ranking prince, the two sword eyebrows have completely destroyed the elegant and chic temperament, the tall and straight body, long arms, resolute facial contours, calm and bright eyes, so that everyone will not pay attention to the fact that he has just turned twenty years old.

Guo Shao and a group of generals rushed out of their horses in a flamboyant manner, and he reined in his horses again, and once again carefully observed the situation of the team starting to camp.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a cavalryman on horseback outside the camp, leading two foot soldiers and a woman towards the barracks. The woman was shouting, "I'm not a spy, I'm not a spy!" ”

Guo Shaoxin said in his heart that he had strictly ordered that he should not disturb the people, where did these soldiers arrest the women from on the day they started the camp, and they actually wanted to arrest them into the camp? He kicked the horse forward and pointed at the woman with his whip: "What's the matter, where did you catch the woman?" ”

The cavalry dismounted and reported: "Yu Guo Du envoy, she is looking around the army, and her whereabouts are strange. Let's bring it back and hand it over to Shangfeng. ”

The woman hurriedly said: "I'm from Kaifeng Mansion, I'm looking for someone!" ”

Guo Shao listened to her accent from Kaifeng Mansion, and looked up and down again, this woman was very dirty and dirty, and even her shoes were torn, and then stared at her eyes for a moment, feeling that it didn't look like a fine work. The woman's face was very black and flowery, but it seemed that she was deliberately smeared, otherwise she would always have time to wash her face by the river, and Huainan was full of rivers. But Guo Shao still found from the hair behind her ears that this girl's skin is actually good.

"Who are you looking for?" Guo Shao asked.

The woman said, "I'm looking for Guo Er." ”

Guo Shao's face darkened: "Who is Guo Er, I'm asking you what kind of person you are looking for, why do you want to come here to find it?" ”

The cavalryman who dismounted next to him shouted: "Honestly, this is our commander, if Guo Dashuai thinks that you are meticulous, the gods will not be able to save you!" ”

The woman was startled, cried, and choked up: "Guo Er is my Lang, I just got married a few months ago, and I haven't had time to pass the door, Lang Jun was ordered to go on the expedition, and there has been no news...... The other sons of the town have heard from him, but he has not ...... Lang Jun is the first commander of the first army of the left wing of the Hujie Army, I asked many people after crossing the Huaishui, and they all said that they were here. ”

Guo Shao's subordinates were thirty-eight commanders in the left compartment alone, but he happened to remember that the general who was the first commander of the First Army was Li Dazhu, because this guy was the general who followed him to fight Qin and Feng. Then he asked the woman which capital and which team it was.

This woman was dexterous enough to speak clearly.

So Guo Shao ordered: "Go find Li Dazhu and ask him to call the ten generals of the second team of the third capital to the gate of the Chinese military camp." ”

Not long after, when I heard that the commander had summoned me, the commander and the ten generals hurried over. asked, is there really such a person as Guo Er...... It seems almost certain that the woman was not a spy.

Guo Shao ordered: "Release people." ”

"What about my Langjun...... the woman didn't leave, pestering the ten generals to ask.

The tenth general said: "Died in battle." ”

"What's ...... What? The expression on the woman's face immediately turned to ashes, and she shook her head and said, "You lied to me, lied to me." ”

The ten generals said: "I lied to you to do something, just ten days ago, we attacked Shouzhou, and we were ...... by the fierce fire oil that fell from the wall."

"That's it!" Guo Shao stopped. In his mind, he immediately remembered that his whole body was stuck to the oil and ignited a fire, and his body was black and covered with extensive burns and blurred flesh and blood, and it was almost worse than death.

The soldiers of the First Army followed him to fight the Shu Kingdom, and helped him win a life-and-death battle in Shouzhou City. Guo Shao's mood was immediately affected, his expression was straight, and he said to the woman in a gentle and deep voice: "Your Langjun is brave and loyal, he sacrificed his precious life in order to end the noble cause of the civil war and unify the rivers and mountains, and for the people of the whole world to live a good life. ”

The surrounding soldiers were in awe when they heard this. The ten generals hurriedly echoed: "Guo Er told me before he died, when he saw his daughter-in-law, he told her to marry a good family again and live a good life." ”

Guo Shao sent another order to his soldiers: "Send her to Xia Cai Town and find Jing Niang." Let Jing Niang take care of her first, and bring her all the way back when she returns to Tokyo. I personally contributed 50 yuan to Guo Er's family. ”

But the woman did not leave, and her tears washed the dirt on her face into two rows of white marks, and she shook her head and cried, "I don't believe it, I want to see him...... What about his corpse? ”

The ten generals whispered: "Too many people died that day, and the Southern Tang soldiers and Zhou soldiers were mixed together. The soldiers were afraid that the plague would start after a long delay, so they buried all their brains, and they didn't know where to bury them...... Well, there is a pit on the east side of the city, and hundreds of people are buried. ”

When the woman saw him pointing, she ran in the direction east of the city. As soon as two of Guo Shao's personal soldiers were ordered to escort her to Xia Cai, they followed.

Guo Shao didn't force it, led the army to continue out of the camp, and turned back to the generals and said: "When you lead the troops to fight, if you can reduce the casualties, you will minimize them...... The generals were ordered to strictly prohibit the indiscriminate killing of innocents along the way. ”

"Whoa." The general responded with a fist clenched.

At this time, Yang Biao said: "Then Zhao Chao ordered to kill 3,000 soldiers in one night, what are you thinking, and what are the benefits of doing this?" ”

A general took over and said: "Some people have black hearts, so they like to do this, and there is no reason for them." ”

Guo Shao and the others walked up the post road, he turned his head and saw from a distance that the woman was desperately digging the soil with her hands in the field, and the soldiers behind him came over with shovels.

How pathetic!

He couldn't help but think to himself, if he could not die, he must live. Of course, high-level generals don't have to go into battle to fight, and the chance of being beheaded by someone is very small...... The biggest danger to one's life comes from one's own people!

……

The lack of security makes Guo Shao very restless now. The person who makes him a little nervous right now is Lee Chongjin. In his impression, Zhao Kuangyin is the one who has achieved great things, and he didn't know who Li Chongjin was before, and he definitely couldn't become a big thing; But it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, the important thing is that this guy can threaten himself right now.

This made Guo Shao have an instinctive reaction of urgently needing to improve his power and strength, otherwise he would have good fruits to eat after Li Chongjin's hands?

People's needs are really endless, survival, security, and desire. For the vast majority of people in this era, I am afraid that they envy Guo Shao's status in their dreams; But when it comes to this status, I can't wait for more!

It's not that Guo Shao is insatiable, he is already relatively satisfied with his current material life, and he is much better off than those countless people who can't even eat; But the power is small, the strength is weak, and there is no sense of security.

military exploits, greater power; Marriage, wider contacts, stronger backing.

……

Haozhou, Chai Kehong has just been appointed. He is now beginning to take over the 50,000 troops in Haozhou City, as well as all the ** troops in the entire Haozhou region, and is fully responsible for the deployment of defense.

Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, placed high hopes on this famous general. The earnest words in the holy decree are like in the ears, the emperor is almost about to dig out his heart to a military minister, and Huainan and even the entire Southern Tang Kingdom rely on this battle! I hope that Chai Kehong can win the Zhou army, boost the morale of the soldiers across the country, and reverse the situation of being defeated again and again!

Chai Kehong walked up to the Haozhou City Tower, and the first-class soldiers in the city cheered, and the atmosphere was warm if the New Year was celebrated.

"Haozhou is finally hopeful!" The officials, generals, and even soldiers and civilians of Haozhou City were all excited.

Chai Kehong waved his hand to the city, and suddenly there was a crazy and enthusiastic shout, and the enthusiasm of the scene was not inferior to the gathering of modern star chasers.

**Invincible general! Since the expedition, tens of thousands of Wu and Yue troops in Changzhou have been linked, and the elite generals of the Zhou army have been defeated by the old and weak! He is the hope of millions of soldiers and civilians in Huainan, and he is afraid that the Southern Tang generals of the elite and strong Zhou Dynasty army will follow this general to regain his dignity!

At this moment, a military general walked up to the city and whispered next to Chai Kehong: "It is reported that the 20,000 vanguard army of the Zhou army has been drawn from Shouzhou...... The main will be Guo Shao, Guo Shao who defeated Liu Renzhan! ”

"Hahaha......" Chai Kehong suddenly raised his head and laughed. said loudly: "I just received news from the military intelligence, Zhou Jun is here, and the main will be Guo Shao!" Guo Shao of Liu Gong of Poshou Prefecture! However, he met me Chai Kehong! The soldiers and villagers in Haozhou will wait and see, and see how Ben will regain face for Liu Gong! Hahahaha......"

The generals of Haozhou City were stunned, and that was because they were not familiar with Chai Kehong. Chai Kehong's own subordinates are not surprised, the lord is such an arrogant and arrogant person, but Chai Kehong has the ability to be arrogant.
