"The villain meets the Yanai." Zhou Tong clasped his fists at Fu Zhaoxu and saluted, his eyes swept over the face of Guo Shao, who was sitting steadily. He is dressed in old clothes, and he still has the decisive temperament of a martial artist between his words and deeds, and his face is right, but there is indeed some depression between his eyebrows.

"Sect Leader Zhou, do you remember me?" Guo Shao asked.

Zhou Tong was at a loss, obviously forgetting. Guo Shao turned his head and joked: "In the forbidden army, I usually forget many people, but they all remember me. In front of Zhou Jiaotou, it was the other way around. ”

Fu Zhaoxu stretched out his palm in the direction of Guo Shao: "Zhou Tong, this is the second aunt of the Fu family, and Guo Shao is inspected in front of the forbidden army hall." Zhou Tong suddenly said: "I have heard the name for a long time!" Killing Zhang Yuanhui, breaking Shouzhou in January, and slashing the Liao army in the first battle, like thunder. ”

"There is one more thing that Zhou Jiaotou forgot, I shot the Northern Han Mengjiang to death with one arrow, and archery was learned from Zhou Jiaotou." Guo Shao said with a smile.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Tong exclaimed, maybe he immediately understood that people of Guo Shao's status would not joke in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Blue is better than blue." ”

Guo Shao gave a thumbs up: "It's still the original Zhou Jiaotou, and Han Yu's articles can be cited." I don't know if Zhou Jiaotou's martial arts have been sparse in the past few years? ”

Guo Shao said that his archery skills were taught by Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong was not as restrained as just now, and said with a smile: "Although I beat a gentleman a few years ago and was punished, fortunately, King Wei treated me generously and sent me to the horse farm, and I still love to ride horses and shoot arrows." ”

"Very good! I am short of capable martial artists, if Sect Leader Zhou is willing to follow me, I will ask Brother Fu for you. Guo Shao said decisively.

The highest-ranking military general of the forbidden army, all the palaces are checked! Guo Shao didn't need to promise anything at all, he believed that Zhou Tong would immediately realize the future.

Sure enough, Zhou Daodao: "When will Guo Du get up from the inspection?" ”

"Haha!" Guo Shao turned back to Fu Zhaoxu and said, "It seems that I have to ask Brother Fu for talents." ”

Fu Zhaoxu smiled but did not speak.

…… Early the next morning, Guo Shao took Fu's second sister to say goodbye to the Fu family. Fu Yanqing and Mrs. Xiang, Zhao Xu, and Zhao Yuan were sent to the gate together, and Fu Ermei looked reluctant before getting into the car, with a sad face.

Fu Yanqing laughed and said: "The old man saw that you couldn't wait to return to Beijing with Guo Shao, and now that you have finally succeeded, why are you still crying and pretending?" ”

"Daddy! I am sad to say that others have honored you for so many years, and I am sad to say this......" Second Sister Fu said angrily.

Fu Yanqing's eyes betrayed him, and he actually looked very reluctant, but the old man would not be in front of his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, he waved his sleeves in a chic manner: "The girl who got married, splashed the water, let's go." ”

Guo Shao said: "Father-in-law, aunt, the second elder must take care of his body and live a long life." Brother Fu, third brother, our brothers will have a period in the future. ”

Fu Yanqing nodded: "The situation in Tokyo, the Queen Mother depends on you." "One tall and one short, the two Fu brothers also bowed goodbye.

Guo Shao turned around again before getting into the carriage, only to see Fu Yanqing's temples white, standing there watching. There was really a feeling of family affection in his heart...... It is no wonder that in this era, alliances and marriages are necessary at every turn, and there are indeed relatives who will subtly create some feelings and trust in the process of getting along.

At the beginning, the second sister Fu was very well-behaved, and she was free as soon as she got out of the daimyo's mansion, and she didn't want to ride a horse. Guo Shao left the carriage behind, and rode a horse with Fu Ermei and a team of cavalry to take the lead in the south.

In this season, the wind blows very cold when riding a horse, and it feels like riding a motorcycle in winter. Fu Ermei put one hand around his waist behind him, and pressed the hat on his head with the other. But halfway through, she simply wrapped her head tightly with a silk scarf, only a pair of crooked eyes, and no hat was worn.

……

At this time, in Liaozhou (southeast of Taiyuan, near the border of the Northern Han Kingdom), Li Chongjin was cursing.

In the Huainan Army and the Chinese Army of the Gande Army, Li Chongjin was not scolding his side, but "scolding" others from afar. He was younger than Li Jixun, and his temper was more urgent, so he scolded in anger and didn't care about anything.

"Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty, a cowardly, treacherous and cunning man, is far from his father, and he is really not as good as a generation! When his father heard that Zhou Taizu had died, he dared to send troops to fight in Gaoping; Now is such a good time, there is still an internal response here, he shrank his head and tail, and said it nicely, and he instigated others to go on with one mind, and he was slow to send troops! ”

"Luzhou Li Yun, short-sighted, arrogant, with his virtue, he still wants to be the emperor! killed Li Jixun's son, I don't think he is a person inside and out, what will happen in the future......"

The subordinate generals and staff below didn't dare to say a word, and when Li Chongjin had scolded enough, someone stood up and spoke.

A staff member said: "The Northern Han lord will not move, but he must be willing to borrow the road, and maybe he will send some military rations; Since Li Jixun has sent someone to contact and wants to take Jinzhou, we can wave our troops to take advantage of the Northern Han Dynasty to reinforce Li Jixun and jointly attack Jinzhou. ”

Immediately, someone seconded: "Taihang Mountain is controlled by the towns of Hebei, and this place is subject to enemies left and right; And it is very barren, Hebei will definitely not send grain, and the longer our nearly 30,000 troops stay, the easier it is to run out of food. It is better to capture Jinzhou from the west of the Northern Han Border and occupy Jinzhou as the king; There is Li Jixun in the southeast to provide grain, and the southwest can attack the places in the river to eat, which is the best policy.

Once we set off to enter the Northern Han Dynasty and support Li Jixun with actions, Li Jixun will inevitably be bold and immediately raid Jinju. If the surprise attack fails, the two combined armies of 50,000 troops will besiege Jinju! ”

The staff member who spoke first said: "In the next bold statement, the lord should not be in a hurry to claim the emperor, and the soldiers together are only called 'alliance leaders'." Tokyo is not in turmoil for the time being, and the world is waiting; Once the lord is proclaimed emperor, not only can he not command the towns, but also cut off the thoughts of other families, which is not a wise move. In today's situation, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and chaos will soon be awaited; It is advisable for the lord to try to protect himself first, and sit back and wait for the opportunity to divide the territory. In the name of 'Qingjun's side', the forbidden army was ordered to check Guo Shao's collusion inside and outside, and his full-time henchmen excluded dissidents and held the Son of Heaven hostage with bad intentions. ”

He said that he handed over an article with both hands, "I have written an article below, and I invite the lord to look at it." ”

Li Chongjin pondered for a moment after hearing this, felt that it made sense, and his anger was slightly discharged, so he took the text and read it. Seeing that Guo Shao was scolded in the article, all kinds of male thieves and prostitutes, insidious and vicious, Li Chongjin laughed "haha", at least at that occasional moment, he was very happy.

thought of the matter of "frying fish with a hand board", although he couldn't do it in the end, Guo Shao humiliated him in public; Li Chongjin saw that the text scolded sharply, and said happily: "It's best to spread it to the world and let the world see it!" You are very good at writing, and you know my heart very well! ”

At this moment, someone suddenly hurriedly walked in and whispered a word in Li Chongjin's ear.

"Zhao Kuangyin has arrived at the border of the Northern Han Dynasty?" Li Chongjin was slightly surprised and said, "How many people did you bring?" ”

Come and say: "Three hundred rides." ”

Li Chongjin couldn't cry or laugh: "! What can three hundred riders do? He was a man who had been a commander in front of the palace, and he was given a low position, saying that I had insulted him; It's too high, it's a bit not enough for him to be a commander, is Lao Tzu to give him troops? ”

"This is the letter sent by Zhao Kuangyin first, please take a look at it." The guard who had just come in presented an envelope with both hands.

Li Chongjin didn't want to look at it in his hand, so he handed it to his staff. The staff opened it and looked at it, looked up and said: "Zhao Kuangyin did not come to vote for the lord, but to persuade the lord to send troops to help Li Jixun fight Jinzhou." ”

Li Chongjin patted his head after hearing this: "Isn't Li Jixun his brother?" If he wants to vote, he should vote for Li Jixun, but it's not so difficult for me to do it. ”

The staff said: "That's true, Zhao Kuangyin and the others can join Li Jixun as long as they wait for Li Jixun to attack Jinzhou and go to Jinzhou from the Northern Han Dynasty...... Or vote for the lord (Li Chongjin) first, follow the army to Jinju to reinforce Li Jixun, and you can also join Li Jixun. ”

(The southern border of the Northern Han Kingdom resembles a "V" shape, with the tip facing Zezhou, which has been controlled by Li Jixun; However, from the south, there is Taiyue Mountain to block, and it is difficult to go over the mountains and mountains to Zezhou...... But now Jinzhou (present-day Linfen) in the southwest is under the control of Xiang Xun, and Luzhou in the southeast is under the control of Li Yun.

The best way to go south in the Northern Han Dynasty is Luzhou on the east road and Jinzhou (Linfen) on the west road; Jinju is the Linfen Plain, and the road is easier to walk. Therefore, Jinzhou and Luzhou were the important towns of the Zhou Dynasty to hold the Northern Han Dynasty. ）

The staff said again: "Zhao Kuangyin's vote for Li Jixun is more compatible." Li Jixun was Zhao Kuangyin's eldest brother at the beginning, he was old and had a high position; In recent years, Zhao Kuangyin has been appreciated by the first emperor, and quickly climbed to the second position of the forbidden army, surpassing Li Jixun in power. However, Zhao Kuangyin is also a hero for a while, and now that the tiger has fallen in Pingyang, most of them can recognize current affairs and recognize Li Jixun as the eldest brother according to their strength.

After Li Jixun won Zhao Kuangyin, his strength should not be underestimated. Although Zhao Kuangyin only has 300 horsemen, he himself is a good general, and his brother Shi Shouxin is also very powerful...... In addition, Wang Xianqi and Han Chongyun don't know much about their humble duties, and they don't know what their talents are; But Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin alone are like tigers with wings, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general. ”

"Then will Li Jixun's strength surpass that of the lord, and will he still serve the lord as the leader of the alliance?" The ministry general reminded in a whisper.

Li Chongjin groaned, but he didn't have much prejudice against Zhao Kuangyin...... was a little contradictory to Zhang Yongde before (Zhang Yongde once said in front of Chai Rong that Li Chongjin had two hearts), because Zhao Kuangyin was a person under Zhang Yongde before, so Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin had a relatively distant relationship. Later, Zhang Yongde rode into Li Chongjin's military camp alone, drank and talked, and the grievances were actually light, and Li Chongjin didn't care too much.

Now Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin have no hatred or grace.

The subordinate general who spoke in a low voice just now said softly: "Since Li Jixun has Zhao Kuangyin, why don't you wait for them to fight Jinzhou first...... Shall we wait for the time being? ”

The staff immediately scolded: "Do your best! Can Guo Shao tolerate the lord? Sooner or later, we will meet each other in arms, and if we don't establish trust with Li Jixun and work with one heart and one mind, we will fight infighting first, do you think our strength can be compared with the forbidden army? ”
