Chapter 531: I don't want to turn back
Sunlight filtered in through the rope curtains in front of the wooden windows, spilling onto the table to form mottled horizontal bars. Guo Shao has moved his office from the west side of the Jinxiang Hall to the east side. In the summer, this location is very good, with light in the morning and shade in the afternoon, and it is not as hot as in the west.
The place has been renovated and is very spacious. The place where Guo Shao sits is the office study, and there is a spacious house on the north side, which can not only "stick notes" and store military aircraft files, but also rest nearby. There is a door on the west side, and it is a house outside, and there is a back door, in which Guo Shao can privately summon ministers, and he does not have to go through the front main entrance. On the south side is the office of the cabinet ministers, and there are ear rooms around it for the ministers to store their things and rest...... At the front are the officials on duty who are sent to do chores every day by the Hanlin Yuan and the Political Affairs Hall.
Guo Shao was flipping through a file, which was written by the leader of the detailed work who fled back from Jinyang a while ago, and some information about the situation in Jinyang. But their stay was too short, and a lot of the information was only approximate and not detailed.
Guo Shao checked for a while, but did not find a detailed description of Fenshui and Jinyang City...... He checked this thing, because he had just seen a recital, and someone suggested digging up Fenshui and attacking Jinyang City with water.
In addition, there are people who write a book and use ** to bomb the city, similar to the dry method of capturing Shouzhou.
…… But Guo Shao felt that the old trick was repeated, and this time it might not work. First of all, the walls of Jinyang City are thicker and stronger than Shouzhou, although Shouzhou is also an important town in the south, but the walls are obviously not as good as those of Jinyang (Shouchun was rebuilt in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the thickness before was not as good as later). And Jinyang is not the same, it is reported that the stones that laid the foundation are all built one zhang high! The bottom wall is about 20 steps thick!
Guo Shaoxin said: The brick and earth wall with a thickness of more than 20 meters, and the stone foundation more than three meters high underneath, can the black fire powder explode? Theoretically, as long as there are enough, it should be possible, but this requires a larger space in the tunnel Tibetan medicine room, and the crypt project is more difficult to do. Moreover, it is very likely that the gap opened by the explosion is not as easy to climb as the gap in Shouzhou City, and even horses can run into it; It is possible that it is just a collapse, and the rammed earth masonry pair is clogged in the gap.
The most fatal place, Zhao Kuangyin is in the Northern Han Kingdom, he knows more about the ** bombing city and attaches great importance to it, otherwise he would not have learned to do it in Jinzhou...... This time the bombing of the city may not be as unexpected as Shouzhou, and the defenders of the Northern Han Dynasty should be on guard.
Guo Shao pondered for a while, but still felt very worried.
"Jinyang, Jinyang......" he whispered twice, turning to look at the brush lines on the map.
The Northern Han Kingdom was much smaller than the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Shu Kingdom, but this place really worried Guo Shao. Before the destruction of the southern states, there were many internal problems, and the troops were unbearable, and there were great benefits to attacking; The Northern Han Kingdom is the opposite, much like a hard bone without meat. But this hard bone must be won, otherwise the foundation pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be able to be opened.
Guo Shao was very sad and unhappy. This wedge-like thing is stuffed there, like a stone blocking the ideal!
Another wish, if Jinyang is defeated this time, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not be allowed to run away!
At this moment, the voice of Zuo Yu at the door of the study said: "The minister has something to report to Your Majesty." ”
Guo Shao raised his head and said, "Come in and talk." ”
Zuo You walked to the imperial case, bent down and put the two books up, and said, "The minister just saw the book, from Xiongzhou, Hebei. General Fu (Zhaoxu) had expelled the Liao army from Hebei and was strengthening its defenses in the three prefectures of Xiong, Ba, and Yi; Please order the left wing of the guard Si Longjie army to be stationed in Xiangzhou. ”
Guo Shao nodded in response, he and the courtiers expected such a result. The Liao army in Youzhou had limited strength, and it was impossible to be willing to confront the Zhou army on the territory of the Great Zhou in Hebei.
Zuo You said again: "This is a letter from the King of Wei (Fu Yanqing) of the Daimyo Mansion, please come to Beijing to congratulate." ”
Guo Shao listened to it and said in his heart, some local festival envoys did not come, just like the Zhejia in the northwest, Li Yun who was originally in Hedong, and others, if they were ordered to come to Beijing, it might arouse suspicion. Fu Yanqing, a warlord, is different, and takes the initiative to come to congratulate; After all, the two daughters are the queens of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Guo Shao said: "I personally approved it, and it was requested by King Wei." In addition, he asked someone to issue an order to Fu Zhaoxu, and the left carriage of the Zhulong Jiejun returned to Xiangzhou; Let Fu Zhaoxu go to Beijing to meet and talk about the merits of Hebei. ”
"Obey." Zuo Yu bowed.
…… When Guo Shao named his son, Fu Ermei's son was called "Hong", which was an uncommon word, and he also had a little thought: if Fu Ermei's son inherited the throne in the future, it would make the world less troublesome and less evasive; Anyway, the emperor's name is basically not used, in fact, it is not usually used, who can call the emperor's name directly?
The choice of his two sons in his heart was because Guo Hong was his son-in-law, and he felt that the Fu family was more reliable. But if Fu Jinzhan also gave birth to a son, Guo Shao didn't think about it now.
After the day was straight, Guo Shao went to the Zide Hall for dinner. met the Fu sisters and Li Yuan'er, and talked about the Fu family's father and brother going to Beijing during the meal.
As usual, Fu Ermei and Li Yuan'er drank tea with them for a while after the meal, and then left first. Guo Shao wants to talk about "state affairs" with Fu Jinzhan alone, of course, they are not alone, and in the open hall behind the dining room, there are people walking around.
It was dusk again, and Guo Shao sat here with Fu Jinzhan several times and talked.
He did bring up the matter: "After the death of the first emperor, the second Li rebelled, and Fu Zhaoxu personally risked the risk to retrieve the head of Li Jixun's eldest son in Luzhou, avoiding the alliance between Li Yun and the second Li, which contributed to the country." This time, he led the army to expel the Liao army and set up another attack...... But he has never made real military achievements in the battle array, and if he does this, he may be criticized in the army. ”
Fu Jinzhan listened attentively.
Guo Shao continued: "Now the festival envoys of the new festival basically have no real power. But for a long time, Jianjie is still a symbol of the warriors entering the ranks of senior military generals, and it is still very useful.
What I mean is that the imperial court recently wants to use troops against the Northern Han Dynasty, so that Fu Zhaoxu can take advantage of the limelight of expelling the Liao army and lead the troops to fight this battle. ”
Fu Jinzhan didn't interrupt, and waited patiently for Guo Shao to finish speaking, and then spoke: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but I don't understand something, why does Your Majesty want to cultivate Zhaoxu?" ”
Guo Shao was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Although the King of Wei has prestige, he is old, and although the Fu family has many generals who defend the town, there is still a lack of a truly powerful general. ”
He paused, "The world is unpredictable, in case I have any accidents, I hope that the strength that Marigold can use in his hands can be more." ”
Fu Jinzhan's face changed, and he looked at him and shook his head: "You still don't understand......"
"Don't understand what?" Guo Shao asked casually.
Fu Jinzhan said in a deep voice: "You are the emperor, and you are still not all the people in the world, but you are all mine." ”
"But ......" Guo Shao was a little puzzled.
Fu Jinzhan said softly: "People don't want to go back. ”
