Time back to a day ago, that is, on the afternoon of February 15, Zhao Kuangyin led the forbidden army of 50,000 to finally arrive at the Wuqiang camp, and at this time Guo Rong had taken the fleet of the water division to the north by canal and waterway, and on the 16th, he was fortunate to be in the river, and arrived at Mozhou Waqiao Pass in the evening of the next day, and the marching speed was extremely fast.

For this sitting in the Later Jin Dynasty Kaiyun end lost Guancheng, Guo Rong has been thinking for a long time, now back to the Great Zhou, there is no help but agitated, enthusiastic to inspect the Guancheng still feel the whole picture, simply lead from the civil and military officials out of the Guancheng twenty miles, along the south Yishui to the northeast, the entourage of guards, the inner chamberlain is only a command of more than 500 people, the ministers are deeply frightened.

More than 50 miles northeast of Nanyishui, a river island sandwiched by the Juma River in the north is Yijin Pass, which is close to the Liao border, since Hantong transferred the forbidden army to the north to change the defense, the Liao army team frequently crossed the river to spy on the military situation, and the situation on the front line has been very tense.

Wang Pu also traveled more than 20 miles along the river bank with his attendants, and seeing that the emperor was still interested, he was worried in his heart, and hurriedly found the former Waqiao guard, the current Mozhou defense envoy Yao Neibin asked: "Recently, there have been skirmishes in the north, and the Liao army will not cross the river, right?" ”

"This can not be said, a few days ago the Changyi army in the northwest withdrew, Hujie left wing was ordered to take over the defense, the Liao army of three or four hundred horsemen looked at the vacancy, took a sheepskin raft to the Baigou River and almost arrived in Rongcheng County, just in time for Du Yu waiting for Zhang Guangzan with grain and grass equipment left behind, and found that the Liao army fought a battle, beheading more than 200 levels, and the army was greatly excited when they heard the news." Yao Neibin replied.

"Good! With a small victory for a big victory, if so, the military heart can be used, but now the royal car is here, don't take it lightly, there can be a garrison near here to call to guard? Wang Pu was worried about the emperor's safety, but he didn't want to disturb the interest.

"Yes! More than ten miles ahead there is a red walled city, the garrison is under the command of the Waqiao Pass, or the general will order to come to meet it? "In front of him is the prime minister of the West Mansion of Tokyo, in the past, Yao Neibin, a first-time general, will not be able to see him at all, so be careful at the moment.

"Ten miles? It's a bit far! Wang Pu hesitated for a moment and nodded, asking Yao Neibin to send his own soldiers to pass the order.

Ma Renyu led a hundred cavalry palace direct forbidden army in front of a mile away to open the road, both sides and the rear have cavalry guards, Guo Rong and Wei Renpu, Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide several generals rode along the river to stop and go, enjoy the scenery of the riverbank, from time to time to talk about military strategy, unconsciously the sky gradually darkened, the twilight appeared, the Yishui River was foggy, the yellow reeds swayed with the evening breeze, making a rustling sound.

"I think back then, I was in the folk and Yezhong big businessman Jie Jie fell Daddy to sell tea goods to the south of the Yangtze River, knowing that the profits of business are huge, and much faster than agricultural taxes, if you make good use of it, the treasury of the three divisions is full, and this battle success can be used to conquer the south again, and the world will be leveled in one fell swoop!"

Guo Rong went all the way to Waqiao Pass and had not yet rested and changed his clothes, wearing a folded foot head, wearing a dragon pattern purple silk gauze robe, a sword on his waist, and a tiger stripe cloak with a red background and purple face around his neck, fluttering in the river breeze with the sound of hunting, from time to time revealing the calfskin bow bag hanging on the jade belt on the other side of the waist.

"Your Majesty's ambitions are in all directions, employing people only virtuous, the good fortune of this country, and the ministers are respected!" Wei Renpu said with a smile, Guo Rong was full of ambition at this time, so he naturally had to make fun of it. Moreover, over the years, the DPRK and China have won many victories and defeated few foreign troops, and during the Huainan War, Guo Rong also relied on Guo Rong to supervise the battle, willing to risk arrows and stones, and worked tirelessly, which really made the soldiers of the forbidden army feel awe.

On the other hand, in the previous dynasties, although the emperor also personally conscripted, he mostly brought countless people from the inner palace, extravagant, stayed in the rear camp to make a show of greed and enjoyment, and rarely commanded the battle array, so that the forbidden army often did not contribute to the work, and rarely achieved efficient victories, so that the treasury was always empty.

And now since the accession to the throne, coupled with the three years of accumulation of the Taizu Dynasty, almost every year there is a war, the three divisions can still calmly dispatch, to a certain extent, the former three divisions make Li Gu, the current Zhang Mei two financial management ability is good, on the other hand, it is also some good policy measures, plus the palace inner court expenses are reduced, and reasonable expenditures in many aspects can contribute to the brilliant achievements of these years.

Speaking of which, the emperor is often inexplicably worried that Shaoguang is fleeting, his life is short and his achievements are not enough, knowing that Wang Pu is proficient in music and rhythm, and is good at learning and mathematics, and once asked the right question, he calmly asked: How many years should I have?

Wang Pu replied: Your Majesty thinks of the common people as a blessing for a long time, and the ministers calculate that there should be thirty years based on what they have learned, and then they don't know.

Guo Rong was overjoyed when he heard this: If it is as Qing said, I should expand the world in ten years, raise the people in ten years, and achieve peace in ten years!

Wei Renpu heard about this later, and secretly praised Wang Pu for being cunning, but he actually didn't think so. When Guo Rong was in Beijing, he was extremely diligent in managing the government, asking about all the big and small things, and he didn't feel hungry when he missed the imperial meal time, and when he went out on the expedition, he had to do everything himself, and he often had anxiety because of the war, which led to lack of sleep, which was not the way to longevity.

Although there are also close ministers to admonish, but Guo Rong has developed a habit, forget about it, and the ministers dare not say more about this kind of thing, before the first month of the expedition, Guo Rong was slightly ill once, but fortunately, the new Imperial Doctor Department Feng Yuliang took proper medicine, but he recovered in half a month.

"Huh? Wen Bo is doing something behind him, come forward quickly, I have something to say. Guo Rong saw Wang Pu Lima talking to a military general on the side of the riverside path, so he turned around and shouted.

Guo Rong's clothes were very conspicuous, and he was surrounded by the generals in the middle, perhaps this shout revealed his identity, and suddenly heard the reeds under the river embankment swaying violently, and a large group of waterfowl fluttered up, scattered and scattered, scattering feathers flying all over the sky.

"Not good! Your Majesty ...... carefully" Gao Huaide's hand-held spear accompanying him on the outside has not made much noise, but his reaction is very fast, and when he shouted, he had already taken off the small round shield and raised it, and then he heard a muffled sound of "snatching and snatching", and several white feather eagle arrows were inserted in the shield and trembled.

"Escort!" The ministers were in a daze for a while, but the soldiers of the palace reacted very quickly, and they all roared and approached, and took out their shields to cover Guo Rong tightly.

"Someone! Kill me! Gao Huaide shook off the small round shield, and regardless of the terrain under the embankment, he rushed down with a spear and a prancing horse, and saw dozens of Liao soldiers dressed in fine leather armor and wearing fox tail neck guards and curly cornice helmets from the reeds where the water birds flew in the distance.

Gao Huaide was agile, and the gun in his hand was used for a long time, so that the silver-polished point steel spear danced like a wheel and hit in all directions, and the arrows flew in the dinging body, and instantly rushed through the distance of sixty or seventy steps, seeing that the terrain was not conducive to the longitudinal horse, he stepped on the saddle all the way, took off and flipped two heels, landed left and right, turned a few steps to bypass the enemy in front of him, and the spear stabbed the reeds on the side, and there was a muffled snort on the ground, and a bunch of enemy troops holding swords and shields were revealed.
