"The courtesans sent by the Southern Tang Kingdom will dance tonight, let's set up a banquet in the big tent, and you can arrange the place." Guo Shao walked to the door of the nearby Chinese army's big tent, and suddenly turned his head and said a word to the generals beside him.

Lu Chengyong's face was expressionless, and he clasped his fists hard and saluted: "The last general understands." ”

When Guo Shao raised his head, he was the first to see a square tiger embroidered square flag hanging on the high flagpole, and it was written: In front of the palace, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses was checked. The red flag material and gold thread embroidery are particularly eye-catching under the white sky, and the gray clouds and small snowflakes are floating in the air, like falling white petals. The big tent of the Chinese army is larger than all the tents around, and the shape is not the same, only this tent is round like a granary.

Guo Shao walked to the door, and the two rows of soldiers spread their legs together and lifted the cherry gun upwards to show respect. Guo Shao also nodded to them, but the other generals around him ignored the guards standing out.

As soon as you enter the big tent, you will see a wide and empty space, which is the place where the Chinese military points generals, or discusses military affairs, which is equivalent to the lobby of the government office; A chair was placed above it, and some benches made of rough wood were flanked by them. However, there was no war today, and the generals were all in their respective barracks, and there was no one inside, and it seemed very empty.

There was no one in the big tent, Guo Shao carried a sack of paper, bypassed the upper chair, lifted the curtain and walked in. Inside, there was a slightly cramped room, with a wooden table and benches, which were crudely made of new wood, and which were freshly made by the craftsmen after they had set up camp.

Guo Shao threw the sack on the table and turned around, and there were many small notes pasted on an erected "blackboard". The note at the top is written "Li Yu", and there are the names of Liu Cheng, Chen Qiao, Han Xizai and other characters below, which are placed in different positions, and are connected by lines in the middle. There is also a map hanging on the right side of the board. Guo Shao stood there, looked at the names without saying a word, and then turned his head to look at the map, and his eyes were very skillful to find the place in Jingkou.

At this time, someone outside the door said cautiously: "Lord, General Li has come in." ”

"Hmm." Guo Shao made a voice without looking back.

After a short time, Li Chuyun opened the curtain and came in. Guo Shao turned his back to him, but he knew that Li Chuyun was standing there and not sitting, General Li and Shi Yanchao's personality were completely different, and he knew how to be polite.

"General Lee, please be seated." Guo Shao said a word, and then turned around.

Only then did Li Chuyun clasp his fists and said, "Meet the lord." ”

Guo Shao bowed his hand slightly, found a wooden stool and sat down, and said: "Liu Cheng is deployed in the east of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his knowledge and ability are very average; A while ago, Cao Bin went west with Wu Yue's army, and a little trickery made him lose two important towns, which shows that Liu Cheng is not a good man. ”

Li Chuyun nodded yes.

Guo Shao said again: "During the period when this person controlled the Jingkou Water Division, the timing of our launch of the Jingkou Water War was very appropriate. ”

Li Chuyun said: "There have been some secret reports in Jiangning Mansion recently, I saw it when Wang Zhijun (Wang Pu) sent it, has the lord seen it?" ”

Guo Shao nodded.

Li Chuyun stroked a handful of black and thick beards, and said: "After Lin Renzhao's army was defeated and returned to Jiangning, Liu Cheng fell into the well, and Lin and Liu had a gap; Chen Qiao (assistant to the Guangzheng Yuan) is good friends with Lin Renzhao. From this, it can be speculated that Chen Qiao may attack Liu Cheng in the court, and it is impossible to predict whether Liu Cheng will lose his military power in the east. ”

"General Lee has a point." Guo Shao nodded, and glanced back at the notes, "But it is said that Li Yu has a lot of trust in Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng's appointment as the eastern deployment is also Li Yu's order." After all, Chen Qiao is a minister, and it is not easy to attack the commander hand-picked by the lord of the country. ”

Li Chuyun muttered: "Li Yu looks like a humble person, but he doesn't look like a docile person...... He is in the deep palace, and he is a little incompetent in the face of the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he will not give in easily. What the lord said is very true, and I am afraid that he will not completely obey the minister. ”

When Li Chuyun said this, he thought in his heart that it was the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the courtesans who were suspected of assassins. I heard that Guo Shao left a courtesan in his tent last night, and at that time, Zuo Youli admonished and rebelled against Guo Shao in his tent for a night, which was basically a good thing for others; Zuo You was very nervous about Guo Shao's safety, and there was nothing wrong with him doing that.

And Li Chuyun actually cares about Guo Shao's safety, Guo Shao is the core figure in this circle, who doesn't care? But Li Chuyun did not persuade as faithfully as Zuo You. Because he felt that Guo Shao's actions might have been planned for a long time...... What kind of person is Guo Shao? Li Chuyun looked up and saw the notes and maps pasted on the wooden boards, and the meticulous and cautious people were all thoughtful about the countless little things of the whole battle. Such people will not be able to perceive the hidden dangers of those people?

Li Chuyun estimated that staying at the courtesan, in addition to Guo Shao's confidence in his own vision, showed his trust and love for the woman, and the most important thing was to conclude that someone would persuade him. How can the civil and military forces around him sit idly by? In fact, Zuo You played that role.

It's just that Guo Shao also has his character, and he does have the character of being unsuspecting, so Li Chuyun and others are actually very comfortable working under him, and they are almost never suspicious. Li Chuyun led the troops, and was boldly appointed with the right to make decisions on the spot. It is difficult for anyone to say whether Guo Shao's approach is a strength or a disadvantage.

…… At this time, Zuo You and Dong Zunzhi also came in, and Guo Shao said casually: "Mr. Zuo is quite able to survive, and he is not sleepy now?" ”

Then it was Shi Yanchao who walked in, and the small room suddenly became lively. It's strange to think about it, there is a big place outside that doesn't stay, and a group of people are crowding into this place, because Guo Shao came here first.

Shi Yanchao said: "I heard that Wang Pu will be in the barracks tomorrow?" ”

Li Chuyun didn't say anything, and Zuo Yu responded. Although Shi Yanchao only calls Wang Pu's name, he is usually respectful when he sees him; There are really no surprises in the world, Wang Pu and Shi Yanchao are both difficult people to get along with in the civil and military affairs of the Zhou court, but Shi Yanchao, a man with long thorns, rarely has conflicts with Wang Pu, and he speaks politely, which doesn't remind me when Wang Pu arrived.

Guo Shao listened to it in his ears, thinking that people like Shi Yanchao may be a typical example of ordinary arrogant generals, he is not disobedient, but only respects people who he thinks are strong. Although Wang Pu is a civil official, he is obviously not a vain person, and Shi Yanchao, a reckless man, is still quite knowledgeable.

The group began to talk one after another, because Guo Shao himself did not say anything.

The people around him were talking about military affairs, mainly the Jingkou Water Battle, which was being deployed. And Guo Shao was a little distracted for a while, he thought of Zhou Xian again, although this woman and the Fu sisters cannot be compared, but they are indeed the woman who makes him very happy.

How to get Zhou Xian is a test of intentions.

Of course, it is very simple to swallow dates and possess her, just like the practice of the world's eyebrows, directly imprison the woman, and the courtyard is deep in the etiquette of three obedience and four virtues, isn't it to imprison the woman? But in doing so, I'm afraid I'll never get anything really good about her; If a woman is reluctant, it is difficult to show her charming side.

Guo Shao has always believed that the highest pleasure lies in emotion. Otherwise, let her lie upright on the bed and endure the insult, how is the process of being a doll?

He was distracted in the army for a while, and Zhou Xian's pitiful gentleness and attentive service came to mind...... This woman, born with something that arouses the feelings of a man's husband, will inflate herself in front of her, and can't help but want to take care of her. There are other good things, all of which make Guo Shao remember, he thought of a soft place somewhere, and his heart seemed to be caressed by a rough brush; and her unbearable performance, so Guo Shao felt extremely powerful.

Guo Shao exhaled and thought about tonight's feast, if there were indeed assassins among these people, it would be good to give them a chance to be exposed. In this way, Jiangning Mansion could not blame Zhou Xian and others; Whether to do it or not is a matter of loyalty, and no one can be sure whether it will succeed or not. The pressure on Zhou Xian should be reduced in the future...... Guo Shao understands that a person's life is not an independent existence, she has various identities and concerns.

Moreover, until now, he was still very puzzled and surprised by Li Yu's courage to send assassins, and he was vaguely unsure of the reliability of those signs.
