"What does Zhao Kuangyin want to do?" Guo Shao waited for Zuo You to come in and asked again.

The two were silent for a while. Guo Shao pondered: Zhao Kuangyin's hard power is definitely the strongest among the military generals of the entire Zhou Dynasty! Perhaps there are still some people in the DPRK who have not yet figured out the situation, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin's qualifications and status are not very high; But Guo Shao will not be fooled by this superficial phenomenon.

In terms of qualifications, Fu Yanqing and Wang Zhang of Hebei, the commanders of the towns in the northwest, and so on dare to talk about the qualifications of the envoys of other towns, and they have gone through several dynasties. But now that the forbidden army has an overwhelming advantage, the marshals are no longer the warlords of the late Tang Dynasty, and it is useless to be old enough to be at the level of a turtle if they are not in the center. Zhang Yongde, the most senior general in the forbidden army, did not dare to say his qualifications, Zhang Yongde had only been a few years old, slightly earlier than Zhao Kuangyin, not much earlier, and was promoted by Taizu Guo Wei at the beginning.

The Zhou Dynasty began to enter Tokyo with Guo Wei's troops, and the entire dynasty lasted only seven years. Chai Rong has been on the throne for less than four years, and the oldest veteran who has been reused in Chai Rong's dynasty is a military general who started in the battle of Gaoping, that is, Zhao Kuangyin, Guo Shao and a group of other people, who are really the generals that Chai Rong Dynasty relies on. The rest of the Taizu promotions, if they did not stand in the right position in the Battle of Gaoping, or were killed (after the Battle of Gaoping, more than 100 generals were killed one after another), or they were sent to Jiezhen.

Chai Rong has great prestige in the army, and the forbidden army under his command is relatively cohesive, the key is that the forbidden army eliminated the rest of the people who supported him, and the distinction during the battle of Gaoping was the top priority. (The Battle of Gaoping is a representative event of Chai Rong's domineering performance, and it is a rapid, effective and decisive approach like a storm of leaves both externally and internally!) ）

It is even more meaningless to talk about the level of the position, and the two generals Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin are the most valuable. Li Chongjin didn't say anything, he had been in Yangzhou after the Battle of Huainan, and was transferred to Hedong on the eve of the Northern Expedition. Zhang Yongde's strength is not as good as that of Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of the palace, because ......

The Iron Cavalry is almost Zhao Kuangyin's descendant!

The two major systems of the forbidden army of the Zhou Dynasty, the four main forces, and the total number of people in all classes were about 140,000. The Forbidden Army is the most elite force in the whole country, and the Iron Cavalry is the most elite of the Forbidden Army. The two main forces of the front division of the palace, the control crane army has always been worrisome, and the iron cavalry army is the one who really supports the status of the front division of the palace.

Of course, if you want to obediently abide by the rules and military law, Zhao Kuangyin is really nothing, and anyone in the Privy Council above can have the right to veto his actions. But if everyone doesn't pay attention to the rules, Zhao Kuangyin has an obvious advantage in the control and prestige of the Iron Cavalry.

Guo Shao also believes that if it weren't for the enmity of life and death, it wouldn't be that the future queen's regime would focus on Zhao Kuangyin; The risk of Zhao Kuangyin wanting to mutiny directly is too great, and the victory rate may be less than fifty percent, so he is definitely unwilling to do it; It is wise to play first and then gain momentum gradually.

But now, everything is different.

…… Guo Shao also has 20,000 people under his command, and there are many large and small generals, but he can only conspire here with Zuo You and two people. It's too dangerous to talk about this kind of thing. The house in this hall is lonely and the walls are thick, so Guo Shao chose to discuss here, and he had already deployed a few henchmen and soldiers nearby to prevent ordinary people from approaching.

Guo Shao pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "I want to change to Zhao Kuangyin, and I will fight him at this juncture." ”

Zuo You also agreed with his statement: "There is still a chance to fight, and if you don't fight, you will definitely lose." ”

"Yes, if you miss this chaotic situation, once the new and old powers are replaced, Zhao Kuangyin will not be able to move." Guo Shaodao, "When the queen is in power, Zhao Kuangyin will first be strictly prevented, weakened, and cleansed. He has no military and political power in the imperial court, and he doesn't even have the power to transfer troops and garrison troops, so what kind of game is there to play? ”

Guo Shao groaned: "If he is unwilling to let go of power and run away, he will have to use real knives and real guns in the end." Anyway, I will definitely do it, and I will be restricted everywhere in the future, so why not take advantage of the current opportunity? ”

If it were some other mediocre person, he would not have the courage to give it a go, just like a pig was about to be killed, and it would not dare to bite, but could only wait for death with trepidation; But just because the opponent is Zhao Kuangyin, Guo Shao believes that he will make the wisest and only choice! The most courageous and courageous choice!

The riskiest approach is sometimes the least risky and most effective.

Zuo You asked the question just now: "What does the lord think, what is Zhao Kuangyin's strategy and what do you want to do?" ”

"He wants to mutiny!" Guo Shao said directly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, leaving only the wind howling outside, making the trees rattle.

Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "I tried to speculate on his intentions, and imagining what to do was the wisest choice for Zhao Kuangyin...... I want to find clues to his strategy.

If I'm not mistaken. Zhao Kuangyin believes that I am the biggest and most complete rebel, because like him, if I don't resist, I will die without a place to be buried, and I have no choice! Zhao Kuangyin's current purpose is to transfer me, the most stubborn rebel, out of the capital, so that his subordinates will be leaderless in the left wing of the Hujie Army, or they will not have time to react in concert at all; Then he made up an edict, fabricated a name such as Feng Zhao Qingjun's side and the like, with henchmen as the core, without too many people, and coerced the battalions of the Iron Cavalry Army to grow stronger and intimidate the rest of the Beijing Division...... The ultimate goal is to capture the Jinxiang Hall with some elites and control the two key points of the Privy Council, especially the Jinxiang Palace. Then hold the center hostage and clean up the mess. ”

Guo Shao said coldly: "If I were Zhao Kuangyin, in the current situation, I would do this." ”

Zuo You's face had become bloodless.

Guo Shao said: "Timing is very important. Once the Iron Cavalry is dispatched, no one but the Emperor has the authority to repel them...... Zhang Yongde? Zhang Yongde didn't need to take such a big risk to follow Zhao Kuangyin desperately, he might be detained in the front of the palace. Privy Counsellor? Wang Pu's strategy and wisdom are okay, but people are unreasonable, the net is broken, what can he do, who knows him in the army, after the battle of Gaoping, Wang Pu's work is also responsible for writing articles in the house. Prime ministers and civil officials? It's even a joke, the martial artists have picked up swords and guns, and it's strange to be able to listen to civil officials. Only the emperor can contain the situation!

So Zhao Kuangyin must choose a good time. It can't be too early, the emperor is bedridden and it is best to be unconscious or unable to speak, but if the news is not directly transmitted in the palace, the timing is not good...... Now that you are bedridden and can't speak loudly, you can also take risks.

It can't be too late, if the official family dies too late, the people in the center will definitely listen to the queen's orders immediately. The queen will directly transfer my men and horses, as well as the army that Zhuban can trust, Zhao Kuangyin has no chance...... So we're already in danger right now. ”

Guo Shao sighed: "Our most stable situation, of course, is that everyone is safe, and when the queen takes power, what are you afraid of?" I think we have a better chance, but if we are careless at this point, no number of chances will be useless, and we will be beaten to the end all of a sudden. ”

Zuo You said: "What does the lord want? ”

Guo Shao said coldly: "They want to use force, do we still have a reason to talk about?" It is necessary to start deploying and prepare to use troops directly in Tokyo! But seeing that Zuo You's face was afraid, Guo Shao said with relief, "Mr. Zuo, wealth is in danger, and you can also be the prime minister, glory and wealth." ”

Left to speak.

Guo Shao stroked his back again and said: "When I was a young general, Mr. Zuo was my staff, everyone knew it, and Zhao Kuangyin probably knew it too." If we are unfortunately defeated, we will not be able to escape. ”

Zuo You raised his head and said, "I'm a puppet, I want to vote for people with great ambitions!" I'm afraid of death and come out to do something, I might as well go home and pick up the child! ”

"Good!" Guo Shao smiled, "The words are not rough. Let's go! ”

Zuo You hurriedly said: "What should I do about going out of Beijing to find Dan?" ”

"What else can I do? You can fool as long as you want, and if you can't do it, you will go straight to the army, whoever fucks | mother|go out of Tokyo, whoever is a fool! Guo Shao scolded quietly.

At this moment, someone asked to see again, and the old man Huang Blacksmith from Guo Shao's Mansion sent in the worship post. The two people in the room stopped talking quietly, and for a while the sound of rain and wind filled the room.

Guo Shao took a look and said to Zuo You: "Zan Jurun, it's really fast." It is estimated that he will not dare to neglect the holy decree. ”

"Bring people in." Guo Shaodao. Then he sat for a while before beckoning Zuo You to walk out of the hall together and greet him at the door of the house. As the general of the Guards, it was already very polite and warm to greet the guest envoy at the door of the house.

After a while, I saw a civil official in his thirties walking over with an umbrella, and bowed with his fists at the foot of the steps: "General Guo, don't come to harm?" ”

Guo Shao could still laugh, and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay." He came up first to avoid the rain. ”

Zan Jurun walked to the eaves and collected the umbrella, and saw that there was a wooden barrel at the door, and there were a few wet umbrellas in the barrel, so he also put his wet umbrella inside. Guo Shao said: "Not long after I came back from Ouchi, I didn't expect the envoy to arrive so soon. ”

Zan Jurun looked back and sighed: "This is a holy decree directly from the palace, and it is an urgent matter to find Dan for the official family." How dare you delay? As soon as I received the holy decree, I hastened to prepare my chariots and horses; I have to ask General Guo when he plans to set off, so that I can prepare for the road and go out of Beijing with General Guo. ”

"It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon, right?" Guo Shao groaned, "It's definitely too late today, or ...... Day after tomorrow? ”

Zan Jurun said: "Why not tomorrow? ”

Guo Shao made a look of wanting to say something: "Something...... Alas, forget it. In short, we have to prepare, we have to pick some trustworthy retinues, and we have to guard them. Envoy Zan Jun, this matter is very important, and a rush may cause chaos. Tomorrow is a day of preparation, and I have to go to the barracks to select soldiers and report on it, and the day is also very tight. ”

"But...... I'm afraid that others will say that we are procrastinating. Zan Jurun said, "It's better to leave tomorrow, you don't have to report the selection of soldiers, at most one or two hundred people will reach the sky, we can't take an army out of Beijing." Or tomorrow afternoon? ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, reluctantly: "Okay, then I'll pick someone tomorrow morning, hurry up, and set off in the afternoon." According to what the envoy said, there is no need to report it. ”

"Okay." Zan Jurun said and turned back and said, "This rain is really not at the right time, and it is inconvenient to travel on a rainy day." ”
