Dark clouds covered the sky of Jinyang, and the scattered raindrops gradually moistened the dust and extinguished the gunsmoke, and soon the "whooshing" light rain became a rain curtain. The battlefield that had already been a truce was further hidden in the rain curtain, and the dense noise of people and horses was also covered by the sound of the rain, and the heaven and earth were more peaceful.

Jing Niang sat alone in the tent of the Chinese army for a long time, and then turned her head to see the rain, and suddenly her heart was sour, and two lines of tears finally slipped from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, suddenly the light in the account dimmed, and a figure appeared at the door, it was Guo Shao.

Jing Niang panicked, hurriedly avoided her, and hurriedly wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve.

Guo Shao walked over silently and found a small wooden stool to sit down. Jing Niang reacted at this time, and the action just now could not escape Guo Shao's eyes. She had mixed emotions for a while.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Guo Shao said.

Jing Niang opened her mouth slightly, uncomfortable for a while, and felt like she had been wronged, but she was not too good at talking, she usually spoke very short and straightforward, and she didn't know how to say it for a while. He simply sat there and was silent.

Guo Shao said: "Zhao Kuangyin didn't suffer anything, I just wanted his life...... I had to kill him, this kind of person is too threatening, and it would be a big hidden danger not to kill him. ”

After hearing this, Jing Niang realized that Guo Shao came in alone, and made a special trip to see her, so she lowered her head and said, "You are the emperor now, you don't have to be like this...... Come here, your majesty, rest assured, I understand these things, and my loyalty will not waver in the slightest. ”

"Hmm." Guo Shao nodded, "I trust Jing Niang." ”

Jing Niang didn't know what to say, and after a long time, she suddenly said: "Actually, I shed tears, not for Zhao Kuangyin, but for myself." ”

Guo Shao immediately cast his eyes thoughtfully.

Jing Niang felt pressure under this gaze, as if she was seen through her heart, as if someone was going to break out, she instinctively began to resist and struggle, but the light penetrated through every gap and could not be separated, and she couldn't refuse, so she was filled up in an instant, a little helpless, powerless, and very full and warm.

"I've heard a saying before that a man always wants how to die, and a woman always wants how to live." Guo Shao muttered.

Jing Niang felt that this was a bit mysterious, but it seemed to make sense, she turned her head to look at his face with a hint of curiosity, Guo Shao's face was very calm, with a hint of sadness in the silence, and she couldn't resist his low, stable and somewhat gentle voice.

Guo Shaodao: "You paid your heart back then, but you were rejected, maybe you have a little hatred for Zhao Kuangyin; But hatred is not indifference, and you should remember in your heart his care and concern for you. So when you watch him die, the hatred is gone, and it's still a little uncomfortable. Women are prone to fall into this kind of thought, you seem to be more decisive than the husband on the surface, but you still can't escape this kind of thought......"

Jing Niang suddenly felt weak in her limbs, and looked at Guo Shao pitifully.

He turned his head to look at the rain outside the crack in the door curtain, and fell silent, and in this rough and quiet small space, there seemed to be only the sound of "whooshing" rain.

Jing Niang couldn't get up with her breath, and glared at him: "I hate those mother-in-law women the most!" What he valued most back then was his reputation and future, I don't count anything, what is there to worry about! ”

Guo Shao frowned and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "If he dies, you will still be sad." But you say that tears are not shed for him, I believe ...... The woman is always thinking about how to live. You will still have attachment thoughts, there is a place in people's hearts, someone belongs to you, cares about you and values you, and you will have nostalgia.

He used to be nice to you, but he doesn't belong to you...... When you decide, you don't have to be soft-hearted, so I'm very relieved of your old friendship with Zhao Kuangyin. You are also not easy to satisfy, and I am also very good to you, but I also do not belong to you. ”

Jing Niang looked at him in a daze, and her shoulders trembled.

Guo Shao said ruthlessly: "You belong to me, but I can't completely belong to you." ”

When Jing Niang heard this, her heart seemed to twitch, her eyes were sour, and then her face was hot.

Guo Shao stood up and reached out to touch her shoulder, because Guo Shao's hand was big and warm, she felt a large warmth on her skin, and her heart was like a lump of numbness, and her tears flowed only like rain.

Guo Shao stood motionless next to him, his voice was not loud, but it was very clear: "Just like I have to kill Zhao Kuangyin, everything is impossible to choose...... There are some things I can't do. ”

Jing Niang found that she had completely violated the beliefs that her father had instilled in her when he was serving the "lord". Guo Shao's voice said: "However, I am not a person who does not miss the old, you can always belong to me, I will not abandon you...... Because it's not too late for us to get acquainted. ”

When she heard this, she finally couldn't restrain herself, threw herself into Guo Shao's arms, and cried desperately. She felt that everything was put down, a kind of release that was completely disregarded, and she cried bitterly, and soon wet Guo Shao's clothes. I cried all the time, I don't know when I won't stop, it seems to be sadder than anything else, but more painful than anything else.

After a long time, Guo Shaocai whispered: "It seems that it is a mistake to use women in military affairs. ”

……

The grasslands of Fengzhou (Hohhot) are not raining and the sun is shining.

The middle-aged general Yang Gon rode over and looked up to the north, where the shadow of the Yin Mountain in the north loomed in the sky, like a large dark cloud hanging in the sky at the end of the grassland. Beneath the dark clouds, a black line gently turbulent, like ripples on the surface of the water. The muffled sound of the roar between heaven and earth, the sound was not loud, but it was pervasive, as if it was a muffled sound brewing before the thunder.

The black line is the cavalry brigade gathered by the tribes north of Yinshan and gathered towards Fengzhou. At this time, all the western tribes were mobilizing cavalry to gather in Fengzhou, and the tribes on the grassland were mobilized very quickly when they were about to fight.

Yang Gon retracted his gaze and looked slightly sideways at Yelu Hugo, who was on the horse in front of him. Yelu Hugo is the coach this time, and Yang Gon is only the deputy general.

Yelu Xiuge is very young, but he has already shown all the talents and temperament that a general should have in charge of a single side, and quickly equalizes the war of betrayal of the Wei tribe with a devastating momentum, which makes him famous in the Liao State, and also establishes his status as a famous general in the Liao State.

At a young age, Jeruxiu still showed some signs that a young man should have. Jerry Hugo gives people the feeling that the shelf is very large, that is, the conceit revealed in his words and deeds, and even his composure is a kind of conceited confidence.

Yelu Hugo's face is like a knife, his facial features are resolute, his eyes are not angry and arrogant, he is a natural general, and his qualifications are very good.

Yang Gon looked at it for a while, then put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly on the horse, and said: "Dashuai, I just got the news that the siege of Jinyang began a truce for five days the day before yesterday. ”

Yelu Huge's gaze also withdrew from the horizon, thinking slightly, but he didn't look back: "The day before yesterday? The Zhou army has only besieged Jinyang for three days, why should there be a truce? ”

Yang Gon said: "It is reported that the Zhou army is attacking the city in a hurry. Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, handed over Zhao Kuangyin in exchange for a five-day truce. ”

Although he was born from a good background and was very capable, he was young after all, and he may not be able to understand many things in detail. Yang Gon paused and explained: "Zhao Kuangyin was originally a general of the Zhou State, and he and the current Zhou State Lord Guo Blacksmith were rivals, and the two of them did not share the sky. Therefore, Guo Blacksmith was willing to exchange this person for military affairs at this time. ”

Yelu Hugo nodded and said calmly, "I've heard about them. He also emphasized: "Although it has been more than half a month since the Zhou army arrived in Jinyang, it took most of the time to build fortifications and deploy the siege, and now it has only been three days to attack the city. ”

Yang Gon said: "In addition to Guo Shao's nickname as a blacksmith, he also has a not-so-famous nickname called 'Guo Pocheng', and this person's means of attacking the city cannot be underestimated. ”

Brother Yelu Hugo pondered for a moment and said calmly: "I have seen Jinyang City with my own eyes, and I have also paid attention to the people and horses of the Northern Han Kingdom. We have to gather troops and horses before we can go south, isn't there a report that the Zhou army has a large force of men and horses in the south of Xinzhou? ”

Yang Gon nodded seriously: "What the boss said is extremely true. ”

"Don't worry about those joints that aren't as important." Yelu Hugo said, "I have seen this battle, the most important place for the Great Liao Iron Cavalry is to defeat the resistance of the Zhou army and break through the defense line to Jinyang. ”

"Yes, yes." Yang Gon looked deeply appreciative. He really thinks that Yelu Hugo is a real person, not only in martial arts and in the way of marching and arranging, but also that his vision is not false.

Brother Yelu said quietly: "Don't worry about Jinyang, we just need to prepare our affairs compactly." Once the Great Liao Iron Cavalry arrives in Jinyang, as long as Guo Blacksmith still understands something, the siege of Jinyang will be solved. ”

Yang Gon said: "Not long ago, I sent someone to inquire, and the commander of the Zhou army in the south of Xinzhou is Li Chuyun. This person had a nepotistic relationship with the Zhou royal family, and Li Chuyun's daughter was Guo Tiejun's concubine. However, I have pondered Li Chuyun's performance in the battle to destroy the Southern Tang Kingdom, but he is also a good master to deal with. ”

Yang Gon stayed in Youzhou for a short time, and often dealt with the Northern Han Kingdom, plus he was older and well-informed, and knew a lot about the affairs of the Han people, so he exhaled again and said: "When the Han Dynasty dealt with the Xiongnu, Wei Qing, who had been to Yinshan, also relied on nepotism to take the position. ”

Yelu Hugo looked conceited, but unlike ordinary young generals who are easy to underestimate the enemy, if it is an ordinary Liao general, he is very disdainful of this kind of character who relies on sending women. But Jeruxiu said, "Someone who is not easy to deal with? It came at the right time! Jinyang is a stone for a while and a half, and there is no head, and the reinforcements will run away as soon as they arrive; If the Zhou army in Xinzhou is too weak, let's run for nothing, how much does it mean? ”

He glanced at the men and horses that were getting closer and closer in the distance, and immediately gave a shout and slapped the horse, and rushed forward vigorously. The strong generals around him also shouted rudely to follow, and the horse's hooves galloped across the grassland, and the horse's fur muscles and the strength of the man were wild in the sun.
