Chapter 686: Festive

The lord of the Southern Han Kingdom came to see him, but when he saw that his face was pale and his steps were fluttering, he was exactly the appearance of his body hollowed out by wine. This guy has a hard temper, and he was stunned before using force. But Guo Shao still discussed with the ministers in advance, did not kill him, and named him the Duke of Chu...... The lord of Wu Yue has not yet surrendered, and he is watching how the Great Zhou court treats people.

I met the lord of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it was rumored that his "national teacher" Fan Huzi met him.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw a woman with her hair combed in a bun and wearing a Taoist robe walked into the main hall, her back embroidered with a very exaggerated big gossip picture, and her mouth was actually pasted with a beard, Rao looked like a woman.

Such a strange person walked into the royal feast, and it was very unique, and people looked at her with curiosity.

It is said that the Southern Han Kingdom surrendered, and this woman who pretended to be a ghost played a big role. Cao Bin also counts when he talks, and he really brought her to meet the saint...... So Guo Shao saw this woman.

But soon Guo Shao understood Fan Huzi's intention to face the saint, her face was not the point, the key was that there was another person beside her, a very beautiful woman.

If you want to compare the beauty of the second sister and Zhou Xian, you can't tell whether you are good or bad, but Zhou Xian and the others definitely don't have the charm and dissoluteness of this woman.

The woman was dressed in a white and gold-rimmed dress, the upper half of her arms were translucent light gauze, her figure was graceful and fluttering, and she walked lightly and elegantly...... The skin is delicate and white like snow, and ordinary women can't wear such plain white clothes to resist that color, but this woman is getting whiter and whiter.

Her temples are bright, her eyes are bright, her big eyes are bright and she is not smiling, but she is looking forward to her brilliance, she is very bold and does not stick to etiquette, and she will send autumn waves to Guo Shaomu when she comes up. The seductive eyes are difficult to describe, at a glance it hints at some kind of strong feelings, with a little resentment in the eyes, and very energetic, coupled with the subtle movements of her biting lip, as if she was moved all of a sudden, but her posture is slim, and there is no place for people to grasp the handle.

This girl doesn't have a smile, but she looks like she should be a woman who can let go. Guo Shao sat there with bated breath.

The two of them bowed their knees. The woman in white said coquettishly: "The guilty minister is Lu Qiongxian, the servant (prime minister) of the Southern Han Dynasty, and now he has become the minister of the dead country, no matter how His Majesty treats it, the minister can only obey ......."

The voice was pitiful and coquettish, and it was really unthinkable...... It is easy to ask Guo Shao to associate with the meaning of "Ren Jun picking".

Even Second Sister Fu couldn't stand it anymore, she frowned sideways and said to Guo Shao: "I don't like this woman, she has an evil spirit!" ”

Guo Shao said: "The people brought back by Cao Bin, let's not worry too much. ”

At this time, Wang Zhong, who was standing beside him, observed Guo Shao's expression, Guo Shao saw Wang Zhong's perception of the holy will in his eyes, and felt a little stimulation and expectation in his heart for a while.

Guo Shao said quietly: "You guys take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The second woman withdrew.

Guo Shao's gaze observed Lu Qiongxian's figure intentionally or unintentionally. The days of success and joy are pleasant and relaxing, and the charming Lu Qiongxian has the advantage of being more open-minded...... Otherwise, in front of the former owner Liu Jixing, how could she throw her eyebrows at Guo Shao without such pressure?

At this moment, Wang Zhong slapped his hands lightly, and the musician immediately played the tune, and a group of dancing girls went up to the hall, and Zhou Xian, who was dressed in a dance dress, came out last, she was only wearing white socks, her steps were light, and she was also beautiful and moving. Zhou Xian walked to the wooden platform, his expression was slightly shy, and he said softly: "On the occasion of this festival, the concubine presented a song "Feather Clothes and Neon Dress Dance" for His Majesty's Empress, and I smiled. "It's a blessing to say that the money is gone.

Guo Shao smiled "haha", stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and then turned his head to Fu Ermei and said, "Emperor Zhou E's dance is very good. ”

Second Sister Fu also smiled and watched with interest, she didn't seem to have any prejudices against Zhou Xian, but Zhou Xian was decent and dignified, but not so frivolous.

The sound of the piano fluctuated, and the dancing girl on the wooden platform did not stop, dragging her long skirt into a circle, and Zhou Xian also gently blended into the crowd. The circle became smaller and smaller, and with a melodious flute, the women suddenly leaned back, their waists were very flexible, Zhou Xian stood up from the middle, his long sleeves stretched to both sides, and the satin flew into the air like a cloud, which suddenly shocked people's vision.

Guo Shao found that today's neon dress dance has a novel change from the last one.

The dancers on the stage danced staggered, and the dances of Zhou Xian and the others were different, and there was a crisp sound of metal percussion under the sound of the musician's drums, and the two rhythms were integrated.

Zhou Xian's body jumped lightly into the air, and everyone was in an uproar. Even Guo Shao wondered, would she be light-hearted?

On closer inspection, it is not that she can fly, but the optical illusion caused by the dance, because the dancing girls around her dance very quickly, she is relatively slow when she jumps into the air, and her figure is very steady, and the long sleeves of her clothes are fluttering, as if she is flying lightly!

His Royal Highness, the ministers and ladies applauded one after another.

Guo Shao also gradually got better, laughing "haha". The red lanterns on the hall were dazzling, and the dancing of the beauties was dizzying, and Guo Shao was dazzled. It's also very pleasant to be in such a joyful and indulgent mood once in a while.

After a song, Zhou Xian retired and changed into clothes, and also went to the guest table to participate in the banquet.

The palace maids served wine and food one after another, the singing and dancing on the stage continued, and the cups and plates in the palace were staggered.

After the rise, the general Yang Biao and Zuo You actually went on stage to perform the military drama live. The two of them are relatively famous people in the court, everyone knows each other, and when they see acquaintances gaging on it, they are even more devoted, and the palace laughs one after another.

Guo Shao saw Yang Biao's stupid face, he didn't care about his appearance, he leaned forward and backwards with a smile, and even the second sister Fu used her sleeves to cover her lips and eyes, and her shoulders trembled.

When everyone was very engrossed, only Jing Niang noticed a eunuch who was walking towards this side, and she was also smiling, but her eyes looked at the eunuch who was walking quickly with his head buried in his head from time to time.

The eunuch quietly walked up the steps and looked at Jing Niang. Jing Niang made a slight gesture, and the eunuch walked up to Guo Shao, bowed his head and whispered: "Hebei urgent report, last night the Khitans entered the Kou, taking advantage of the lax vigilance of Yizhou during the festival, they opened the city gate and captured the ...... of Yizhou."

Guo Shao's smile suddenly froze on his face, and it suddenly became very ugly.

It's so sudden, it's like a basin of cold water suddenly poured on a hot charcoal fire!

The joyful laughter immediately became harsh, and the swaying crowd in front of him seemed to be so stiff that it was suddenly drained of its soul. Guo Shao felt a little trance.

Fu Ermei's voice said, "Husband, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

After the coolness passed, a wave of fire gradually rose. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion, and the Khitan people are actually in Koubian at this time, if you remember correctly, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a festival for the Khitan people!

Guo Shao took a long breath, not wanting to be angry in front of everyone, so he stood up and said to Second Sister Fu: "I'll come when I go." ”

Yang Biao and Zuo You, who were performing the military play, also found that Guo Shao had left the table, and the performance was suspended. Everyone also stopped smiling and looked over for some reason.

Guo Shao left the main hall and retreated to a study in the apse, and soon Wang Pu Wei Renpu and several generals also followed.

Guo Shao took the urgent report from the eunuch and read it. It describes the scene of the Khitan people rushing into the city on the eve of the festival to burn and loot, and it is written in great detail. The more Guo Shao looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table with a "bang", but the wood was not very strong, and the table suddenly collapsed!

The inkstone on it fell to the ground and fell with a "ding-ding-clang" sound.

The people in the study were shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty is angry. "The Dragon's Body ......"

Wang Pu raised his head and looked at the eunuch Wang Zhong quietly. Wang Zhong bent down to pick up the newspaper on the ground and sent it to Wang Pu's hands, and several people looked at each other.

Guo Shao said: "You guys get up, I don't want to be angry with you." It's really too much for the Khitans, this clan is like a beast, and there is no humanity at all! ”

Everyone saw that Guo Shao's face was red with anger, and they didn't dare to speak. Only Wang Pu persuaded: "Since ancient times, the north has been plundering the border passes for thousands of years, and this matter is difficult to avoid. Now it is autumn, the north horse is strong and fat, and the Yizhou festival makes Sun Xingyou neglect the autumn defense, resulting in the destruction of the city, and he should be held accountable. ”

Guo Shao frowned and said: "In the past, the Khitan Koubian only plundered the countryside, and rarely occupied the city, but now it goes straight to Yizhou City, what do you want?" ”

Wei Renpu muttered: "The old minister thinks that the Liao army is also raiding and harassing this time, and it is unlikely that they will march into the south of Juma Henan. As soon as our army goes north, the Liao army should retreat. ”

Wang Pu and Li Chuyun and other generals said: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Li Chuyun sighed: "Just now the autumn harvest, the Yizhou granary is abundant, and this is cheaper for the Liao army." The people in Hebei have just passed the autumn harvest, and they have been robbed of grain, and I am afraid that there will be a famine next year......"

Guo Shao was annoyed and angry, walked around in place, pondered for a long time, and said with a blue face: "I want to drive the expedition in person, and I will lead the forbidden army north to expel the Khitans in the near future!" ”

Wang Pu persuaded: "Please think twice, the situation of the Liao State at this time does not have the strength to go south and go deeper, it must be an attack." By the time the forbidden army went north, the Liao army had already fled, and the losses reduced in various parts of Hebei were not enough to cover the cost of the forbidden army's one-time mobilization. ”

Guo Shao originally wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, but he didn't expect the Liao people to start first. He immediately said: "According to the strategy discussed by the imperial court before, there is no way to fight against the Liao State, and it can only be attrition for a long time. Since the Liao people have provoked a war today, we don't have to back down! Recently, you and others discussed the strategy of the Northern Expedition and shared their worries with me. ”

The ministers looked at each other and did not say anything more.

Early the next morning, Fan Zhen took the lead in writing against the Northern Expedition. The reason is that the state treasury cannot make ends meet, the people are tired, and the war with the Liao State has just been launched at the beginning of this year, and two major wars cannot be fought in a year.

This time is different from the last time, there are many people who question the success of the Northern Expedition, but some people are unwilling to play.
