In the evening, Guo Shao stopped what he was doing, walked out of the door and looked up at the sunset with a semicircle left, hanging above the roof of a hard mountain, watching it feel that it was slowly falling. The day is coming to an end.

A gust of wind blew, and he suddenly heard the "rustling" of leaves, and his attention was distracted, and he couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at the swaying branches and leaves, the pink flowers between the branches had bloomed, and the fragile and unstable petals fell to the ground from time to time. The courtyard was so old that a layer of green mud had accumulated on the stones, stained with light red petals. At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet, but Guo Shao's ears sounded from time to time with bursts of noise, as if he heard the screams on the battlefield.

He lowered his head, and his rough fingers rubbed over the loincloth around his waist, and the embroidery on the silk also had flowers.

At this moment, a man on Yangkan strode over with powerful steps, it was Lu Chengyong, the pro-soldier general beside Guo Shao. Guo Shao turned his head to look over there, waiting for him to come over.

Lu Chengyong walked over and bent over and clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the red warbler who was sent to the side of Yang Ye, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said that he wanted to see His Majesty. ”

Guo Shao immediately remembered the woman, because Jing Niang had only mentioned it this afternoon.

He subconsciously felt that something was a little strange...... Jing Niang is in charge of the soldiers Cao Si to work carefully, and the red warbler is sent by Chen Jiali to serve the soldiers Cao Si; What is the matter with Hongying not looking for Jing Niang, how did she find Lu Chengyong? However, Guo Shao quickly thought of it: if Hongying begged Jing Niang, he might not be able to get the news, and Jing Niang might directly refuse to report it. The woman is indeed very thoughtful about this kind of thing.

A woman who can get Yang Ye's pity. Guo Shao suddenly wanted to see her, and he said, "You take her to the study to see me now." ”

Lu Chengyong clenched his fists and said, "Huh." ”

Guo Shao continued to look at the scenery in the courtyard, waiting for the person he wanted to meet.

After a long time, I saw Lu Chengyong personally pushing a chair with wooden wheels over. Guo Shao was not surprised, he already knew that Hongying was a disabled person.

When she approached, Hongying held on to the armrest of the chair to get up and salute, Guo Shao immediately pressed her shoulder: "No courtesy." "At this time, it is not rude to make physical contact with a woman on the surface, but Guo Shao is not very particular about the red warbler, but he does not touch her hands and other parts when he touches, and it is better to have the clothes on his shoulders to block it.

After saying this, he looked at the red warbler, and led her into the study.

"The concubine didn't expect His Majesty to really meet me." Hongying still sat in her chair a little restrained, but when she saw the emperor, she could still speak clearly, and she was also a person who had seen the world, "It should be difficult to face the saint, General Yang Ye saw His Majesty go back, and his attitude towards the concubine immediately changed." ”

Guo Shao listened to her very carefully, and then said gently: "There are so many people in the world, and there is only one emperor, if everyone wants to see him, then I can't be busy." ”

The red warbler listened and quietly looked at Guo Shao.

This red warbler is not Guo Shao's close person, after saying a few words, she still didn't say what happened to the emperor, Guo Shao wanted to ask, but after all, he didn't ask, only said: "Although the red warbler is a woman, but for the court to regain the lost land, but sacrificed her name and risked her life, I will not forget your contribution to the country." ”

Hongying shook her head and said softly: "What is the reputation of a person like me?" Your Majesty treats me with courtesy, and only then does he say that, but in fact I am self-aware. ”

Her face was a little sad, and she lowered her head and choked up: "General Yang looks down on me, and I don't blame him, it's all my fault." ”

Guo Shao was silent for a moment and comforted: "It's not your fault, it's my fault." ”

The red warbler raised her head and looked at him puzzled.

Guo Shao said softly: "It is my fault that our strength is not strong enough to protect our people and let you be ravaged by the cruelty of the alien race. ”

"Your Majesty......" Hongying looked at Guo Shao movingly, pursed her lips, and was speechless.

……

At the beginning of April, Li Chuyun of Xinzhou received a report that the Liao army gave up Xinkou and retreated to Yanmen. He looked at the generals present with the general situation, and his eyes looked back, mainly on the faces of Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunzhi, and Zan Jurun.

Shi Yanchao immediately said: "Let me lead the horse army straight out of Xinkou and cover my back to pursue the Liao army, but it can be broken!" ”

Li Chuyun said: "No. The official family is still in Jinyang, and the express order is to confront the Liao army and wait for its retreat; As soon as General Shi chased after him, it was contrary to the general situation of the imperial court, and this matter was not within the authority of this general. ”

Shi Yanchao was very dissatisfied: "Lao Tzu stayed in Xinzhou for more than a month without a single attack. A while ago, the Liao army was in Xinkou, and it was just a matter of not moving; Now that they have retreated, can they still defeat the pursuit with their backs? ”

Li Chuyun looked at Shi Yanchao without saying a word, neither scolding nor explaining.

The two stared at each other, and after a while. Shi Yanchao said indignantly: "You are the main general, you have the final say!" ”

Dong Zunzhi and others were very obedient and hugged their fists one after another.

Li Chuyun said: "The forward followed the Liao army, occupied Xinkou, and did not move. Dong Zunzhi led the Tiger Ben Army and the Third Army on the left side as the vanguard. ”

Dong Zunzhi immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Shi Yanchao immediately glared at Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun said: "I don't plan to fight with the Liao army, General Shi can follow the army." ”

Li Chuyun no longer paid attention to Shi Yanchao, and told Dong Zunzhi: "After General Dong arrived at Xinkou, most of them were stationed in the military town south of Xinkou and held the pass. After the Liao army left Yanmen, you continued to go north, and the first army occupied Daizhou. ”

Dong Zunzhi hugged his fists and said, "Huh." ”

Shi Yanchao couldn't help but say: "General Li believes that the Liao army will definitely give up Yanmen Pass?" ”

Li Chuyun said: "Yanmen Pass is north of Daizhou, and it faces north, and it was originally built in the Central Plains to resist the northern Guancheng. Since the Liao army retreated to Yanmen, the Han generals of Daizhou must surrender; Although the Liao army occupied Yanmen, it did not plan to go south, and could only be garrisoned by a large army to keep this pass, and continued to be stuck in a confrontation...... If the Liao army abandons Xinkou, it will abandon Yanmen. ”

The crowd bowed. Shi Yanchao also has nothing to say, he can obey Li Chuyun's military orders, firstly, because his military status is not as high as that of Li Chuyun, he needs to abide by the rules, and secondly, Li Chuyun's performance in the great war since the destruction of the Southern Tang Kingdom can be convincing.

As expected, half a month later, the Liao army continued to abandon Yanmen and retreat to Yunzhou (Datong). Li Chuyun immediately sent someone to report to Jinyang.

…… At this point, the war of the Northern Han Kingdom was a foregone conclusion.

The Liao Army and the Youzhou Army in the north retreated one after another, and the Zhucheng Military Town had to surrender to the Great Zhou Road.

Guo Shao is also ready to stay for some time to return to the court, and the aftermath is still not completed, but he does not need to deal with it personally; There was no need for the main force of the Zhou army to stay in Jinyang.

The civil officials of the former battalion military government wrote a strategy, and the main force of the newly reorganized Hedong Army led by Yang Ye was stationed at Yanmen Pass, and concurrently led Daizhou; Another military general was sent to Xinzhou to take charge of the defense of Xinkou...... Yang Ye's back road is in the hands of others, thinking that it is the way to check and balance.

Guo Shao rejected this strategy and proposed that Yang Ye should be the leader of the Dynasty and the Xin Erzhou, and control the two important passes in the corridor of the Xin Dynasty Basin, giving Yang Ye the greatest trust. Many civilian officers in the army understand the art of war and military affairs, but some things are still taken for granted...... Guo Shao used his own experience, as well as the performance of Gao Yanyan and Liu Renzhan, to determine a fact. In this era, the role of the Lord General is very large. Whether an army trusts its generals or not is directly related to morale and loyalty; The position of the commander-in-chief also had a great impact on the entire army.

If Guo Shao wants Yang Ye and the Hedong Army to really play a role, he must give Yang Ye a sense of trust.

The key matter of the aftermath of the Northern Han Kingdom has been decided, and Guo Shao ordered the forbidden army departments to prepare for the division, and wrote a letter to Tokyo to inform the schedule.

The atmosphere of celebration in the army was very heavy, and the officers and men were very interested...... Victory over the Hui Dynasty, the return date is always happy. The Northern Han Dynasty was a poor and barren country, and the wealth gained from the destruction of the country in this war was very small, but the imperial court would still reward the soldiers for their meritorious deeds, which was also one of the reasons why people quickly forgot the cruelty of the battle array and were elated.

The civil and military forces in Jinyang wrote letters of congratulations, and even the officials who surrendered in Hedong also played.

But in Guo Shao's opinion, people who can really share the joy ...... Not those who speak best, but those who can share the fruits of victory. For example, the civil and military officers and soldiers who accompanied the army, as well as Fu Jinzhan and the second sister in the court. Otherwise, if you can't win, and others can't get any benefits to share, why should you be happy?

Jinyang was in turmoil, and the return date was getting closer and closer.
