Guo Shao rode slowly to the door of the house, but unexpectedly ran into Jing Niang again, only to see her walk out of the narrow street diagonally opposite. Guo Shao suddenly felt that this woman was like a ghost, he didn't notice her following just now, but he happened to bump into her at the door.

Jing Niang came over with a horse, and there was a burden on the horse's back, as if she was going to go a long way. Guo Shao waited at the corner gate for a while, and when she came over, he heard her say: "If your hand trembles on the city wall and you shoot that person, will you really lose your life?" ”

Guo Shao was speechless, why is this woman a difficult question to answer as soon as she speaks?

But he could not turn a deaf ear and ignore it...... This is the first time Jing Niang has taken the initiative to talk to him, and at least she should respond positively. It's been a few days since that accident happened last time, and she's figured it out?

Guo Shao observed Jing Niang's expression carefully, which was relatively calm and normal, not as unstable as at the beginning, which could go crazy at any time. It's okay like this, it was an accident, and it had to be solved; Everything can be discussed, it is better than a grudge against it, and inexplicably one more enemy wants to kill himself to avenge himself.

Therefore, Guo Shao is ready to show a positive attitude and resolve grievances.

But he couldn't answer Jing Niang's question head-on, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he was stunned for a while and held back a very cold self-righteous humorous sentence: "My hands won't tremble, I'm praying, the gods will help me!" ”

Jing Niang asked coldly: "What god do you believe in and how do you pray?" ”

Guo Shao casually said in a relaxed tone: "Thank you to the Queen Mother, thank God, and pray for the Queen Mother to bless ......"

Jing Niang suddenly gave him a blank look, turned her head and went to the horse to get the burden.

The two entered the corner gate one after the other, and the yellow blacksmith came forward to take the horse away and take care of it. Of course, Guo Shao would not stop Jing Niang from entering the mansion, but when he saw that she didn't seem to be coming to visit with something, he couldn't help but ask: "Jing Niang is going to travel...... Or moving? ”

Jing Niang said: "I live with Yulian. I have already handed over the view of the Jade Treasure Temple to someone else. ”

Guo Shao blurted out: "Yulian slept with me." ”

Jing Niang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you mean to drive me away?" ”

"No, no, then you can go to Yulian in a moment and ask her to clean up the house for you. You can live here and for as long as you want, and I will never rush you. Guo Shao said busily.

Jing Niang said: "I don't live in the inner courtyard, so I just find a room outside here to live for a few days." ”

They walked inside one after the other, and Guo Shao first went to a hall in the outer courtyard to wait for dinner, because the kitchen was in the outer courtyard. Yulian and Dong Sanmei are not there, and they are probably cooking...... Last time, Guo Shao mentioned it once, and asked her to hire two stout women to help with the dirty work in the yard; But so far, there has been no increase in the number of people in the house, and the right person may not be found for a while.

Guo Shao first took off the barrier knife hanging on his waist and put it on the knife holder, and then disarmed, which was more troublesome, so he beckoned Jing Niang. Jing Niang was silent for a while, and she really came up to help, and she was very skillful...... Sure enough, she is an expert who has practiced, and maybe someone in her family was a martial artist before.

Guo Shao saw her change in attitude, and said: "There are so many people in that Taoist temple, why don't you bring a few people from your cronies to take care of your daily life?" ”

Jing Niang was noncommittal.

…… Unexpectedly, only a few days later, Yuzhen Guanzhen came, not a few people came, but more than a dozen! The courtyard in the middle of the house was uninhabited, but there were many houses; Guo Shao and Yulian all live in the garden at the back, and the scenery is good. So he asked the Taoist priest from Yuzhen Guan to temporarily live in the courtyard in the middle.

There were so many people in the house at once, and it became lively. In this way, a huge mansion lacks gardeners, cooks, and laborers to purchase firewood and rice, and do rough work, which is just enough to use. Among them were two black, stout women who could work at a glance, and the addition of these people would make it easier for Yulian as long as she was in charge of the money and food.

Guo Shao did a little math and said that there was no pressure on his salary to support these people. And soon after, the money and food increased slightly, and the appointment letter came down, and Yu Lu, who was also the commander of the two armies, was higher than Yu Hou of the Inner Temple; The share of the history of the Qianzhou assassin is also received.

He was in charge of the second army of the Tiger Jie Army, but there was no news that he was going to go on the expedition immediately; Even the officials and generals of the DPRK and China were not sure whether the Zhou army would go to war against Shu. Tokyo was relatively quiet for a while, and some of the changes in positions in preparation for the westward expedition did not attract the slightest attention, because the fact that the Imperial Cabinet Division was carrying out large-scale changes and rectifications was even more noticeable. The main person in charge of rectifying the army in front of the palace is Zhao Kuangyin. Guo Shao has now been transferred to the army of the Guards Division, and this matter has no impact on him.

Guo Shao had already said at home that he wanted to go west, and Yulian and Jingniang knew about it, but two months had passed without moving.

Zuo You said in front of Guo Shao: "After returning from the Battle of Jinyang, the guards and the troops were fine, but after resting, it was autumn. If the expedition to the west was immediately followed, counting the time to prepare and the time it took to march, it was very likely that it would have entered winter by the time the war was launched in Guanzhong. The winter in Guanzhong is very dry and cold, and the climate is not conducive to warfare, so I guess that the imperial court should use troops in the spring of next year. ”

Guo Shao felt that Zuo You's "blind thinking" was still very reasonable, so he echoed and said yes.

It is said that Shaanxi had a humid and warm climate many years ago, so Guanzhong was rich and has been the capital of various dynasties since the Qin Dynasty. However, since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the climate of Shaanxi has become drier year by year, and after entering the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Tokyo Daliang has replaced Chang'an. Therefore, Zuo You may not be wrong when he said that the winter in Shaanxi at this time was "windy, dry and cold".

However, Guo Shao's mood has become a little impatient...... The goal of the campaign is to conquer the territory of two states, which is naturally considered a military achievement, but I am afraid it is not a miracle feat; I don't know how much the military function will be improved after completion, it should not be too big. In the forbidden army, the above appreciation and access are of course very important, but if there is no military merit and prestige as a basis, it is difficult to make a difference.

This little feat, but we need to wait until next year; And it seems to be a hard bone, it's not easy to beat down, and I don't know how long it will take.

Guo Shao was worried about marrying the second sister of the Fu family and marrying the Wei Wang family, but according to the current situation, he didn't see any hope at all, and there might not be much progress in a year or two. That's why he's in a hurry every once in a while.

But it can't be helped. He looked back and realized how rare an opportunity like the Battle of Gaoping was! It's a pity that his position was too low at the beginning, and it was impossible to make any great achievements; I missed the great opportunity, and then it was difficult to meet it...... Maybe you can only gnaw on the chicken ribs of the Shaanxi battlefield first, and then wait for the battle of Huainan?

After Guo Shao prepared to fight in the pass, he tried to solve the battle quickly and save time by wasting time.

However, Qinfeng and other states are the outposts of Shu State, and they are strongholds that are not closed in the Sichuan Basin...... Shu is definitely not willing to give up easily.

Guo Shao also realized that if he wanted to use others for his military exploits, he had to ask Shu Juntong if he agreed.

Of course Shu disagrees! Therefore, if you want to solve the problem quickly, you must go all out and not take it lightly.

Guo Shao consulted with Zuo You: "If the expedition to the west has to wait until the beginning of spring next year, we don't have much to do in Tokyo for a few months, so why not prepare in advance?" I haven't been to Guanzhong, and I don't know anything about Qin, Feng and other terrain; I wanted to ask the guard department for leave, so I said that I would go to Guanzhong to visit my relatives, and then take the opportunity to visit and inquire about the situation in Qinfeng Prefecture. ”

He actively wanted to make meritorious contributions, and the people who followed him were of course pleased, Zuo You pondered for a long time and said: "If the lord wants to go, before telling the guards and the military division, you should first talk to the eunuchs in the palace; Then tell Prime Minister Wang Pu. ”

Zuo You only knew that the queen was willing to promote Guo Shao, but he didn't know that the queen personally revealed the matter of the Western Expedition. Guo Shao didn't say anything about the incident in Daxiangguo Temple.

Guo Shao took Zuo You's reminder. It is just their guess that they will go on the expedition in the spring next year, if the time is wrong, the imperial court will not be able to find Guo Shao at that time, wouldn't it be a big deal and a busy affair?

Tell the "nobles" above first, whether it is the queen or the prime minister of the Privy Council, they must be clear about the military aircraft, and they naturally don't have to worry about it if they nod.

At this time, Guo Shaocai suddenly realized a problem: the queen has always sent eunuchs to contact him, but he has no way to deal with them. He is a military general of the Hujie Army, and he either goes to the guard office to report, or goes to the barracks of the first and second armies of the Hujie Army to be on duty, and he can't even enter the gate of the imperial city, how can he find the eunuch?

Guo Shao planned to tell Wang Pu about this first, and then wait for a while to see if the queen could know. In the end, he officially took leave from the Guards Division...... If you can't let the palace know, it's okay; If Wang Pu has no objection, it proves that there is still some time before the expedition is due.

Things went well, and two days after Wang Pu learned about it, a eunuch met Guo Shao on a street and approved of his preparation in advance.

Guo Shao was suddenly surprised by this incident, and Prime Minister Wang Pu only knew about it for two days, and the people in the palace learned about it? He had to speculate: Could it be that the queen's tentacles of power could reach the Privy Council? Fu's harem woman doesn't seem to be an idle person, not only is she very prestigious and kind among the generals, but there are also people in the military aircraft who are important to the government?
