Chapter 124 Second Sister
Guo Shao set off the next day and passed Bagong Mountain. Most of the right wings of the Hujie Army were stationed on the east side of the mountain. After Li Jixun stepped down from the imperial guards, the commander of the Xiangdu Zhao Chao led the army. At this time, they had insufficient military rations and were waiting for Li Gu to transfer military rations. Guo Shao decided not to see Zhao Chao for the time being and left Shouzhou first.
When they arrived at the left camp outside Shouzhou City, all the generals spontaneously arrived at the headquarters of the Central Army.
Guo Shao did not appear in front of the generals for a while, and was walking back and forth in the houses of a small village wrapped in a military camp, feeling very bored. Two things: the first thing is to ask for merit and advance to the military position for the general. There is no chance to speak in Yangzhou, and there is not a group of meritorious soldiers. There is only one or two of them. The only thing is to report to the guards, Sima, the Infantry Division, Li Chongjin. The second thing is to do the Fu family.
Fu Yanqing's letter was very ambiguous, just inviting Guo Shao to reminisce about his old friendship. Last night, Guo Shao analyzed the relationship again and felt that the Fu family's attitude was not optimistic.
There were many high-ranking families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were also many capable young generals. Why did Fu Yanqing write a letter and have an ambiguous attitude to him? It must be the queen's meaning, so Fu Yanqing can choose Guo Shao.
Since the queen has spoken... Guo Shao is also an unmarried bachelor, does Fu Yanqing still need to be vague? The only reason is that the Fu family may look down on Guo Shao a little and want him to go to Hebei for more observation and review.
Guo Shao only started to make a fortune at the beginning of last year. In less than two years, of course his basic family was not as good as those warlords. Although he was a good soldier, his status was not as high as possible. Most wealthy families may think that his status was already tall enough, but a family like the Fu family, who was a king for generations, could marry the emperor, was obviously not so satisfied with Guo Shao's status and a small population.
Fu Ermei is already twenty-three years old. In ancient times, she was a daughter of the "leftover fighter". If any person with status could be respected by Fu Yanqing, she would probably have married long ago... The problem of the "leftover fighter" in this era is that the marriage of a lady of a lady depends entirely on her parents, and it has nothing to do with her.
Guo Shao thought about it, but he didn't think that Fu Yanqing was wrong.
With Fu Yanqing's attitude, Guo Shao reflected on himself, and his foundation was really fragile and insecure. A general like Guo Shao who only relied on military merits and a rookie of the imperial guards, once he failed, the Guo family would become a situation where nothing was wrong, and the reliability and security were too low.
But he was not willing to give up his marriage with the Fu family easily... It is precisely because of his thinness that he wanted to join the family with deep roots! Furthermore, the queen once said that the second sister looks very similar to her, and Guo Shao was purely full of longing for the second sister, even if he had never seen her. This kind of mood is like his brother-in-law who was born to like his sister-in-law, of course it was just a mood. In fact, Guo Shao was not Fu's brother-in-law's brother-in-law.
There was once a Westerner who said that if you really fall in love with a woman, you will feel that all other women in the world are dull.
Guo Shao felt that this sentence was a bit exaggerated, but it seemed to make sense. The Yang family that the emperor admired did not show their face at that time, which surprised many people on the spot. Objectively, if they were not very beautiful, they would not have treated the Emperor of Great Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin and others extra, as if they were a rare treasure; there were many women in the world, and real beauties were still scarce.
But even a beauties like Yang, Guo Shao just thought they looked good, but they didn't feel much... Even when he was rewarded, he forgot that he had Yang. This was his own problem, not that Yang was not handsome enough.
However, Fu Ermei was completely different in Guo Shao's mind.
At this moment, Zuo You walked into the room and asked, "What's the matter with the lord?"
Guo Shao said: "I went to Yangzhou to meet the saint, but I didn't have the chance to ask for merit for the soldiers."
Zuo You disagreed and said, "The future is long. A lord is not promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Infantry and Military Command and the governor of Xuzhou? This is already a good result."
Guo Shao nodded and then went to the main hall of the Central Army lobby with Zuo You. There were dozens of people standing here. When Guo Shao came in, his eyes were all turned to him and he bowed.
Guo Shao raised his hand and signaled everyone to waive the gift. He first looked back and forth. There were six regular troops in the left wing of the Hujie Army, among which most of the generals of the First Army and the Second Army defected to the tent and arranged a few brothers. Moreover, these people have served under his command since Qin and Feng, and the foundations of the two armies are very stable... The other four soldiers also established prestige because of the great defeat of Shouzhou, but only a few people such as Deng Fei were clearly willing to apply.
If Guo Shao can pass through the hands of another group of generals, the situation will be even more different.
Guo Shao spoke directly and said, "Two things, first, according to the military order of the Privy Council, the Hujie Army left wing and right wing vanguard attacked Haozhou; later, please ask the generals of the left wing army to confirm the order of dispatching troops with me. Three days later, Luo Yanhuan led his troops to dispatch one day in advance, and many scouts and cavalry were released along the way.
The second thing is that the general who has made great contributions in Shouzhou will discuss it and ask Zuo You to submit a note and submit it to the Guards Department for approval."
At this time, the generals congratulated Guo Shao on Jianjie and promoted him to the commander of the Infantry Division of the Guards. The atmosphere in the main hall gradually became noisy. Guo Shao ignored it and asked in the noisy moments: "Who knows Zhao Chao, the commander of the Right Chamber?"
A general said: "The General was under his command. Zhao Duzhi... was very capable. A few months ago, Huainan Du deployed Li Chongjin to defeat the southern Tang army of Zhengyang, captured 3,000 people, and handed them over to Zhao Chao for care. Unexpectedly, he massacred all three thousand unarmed people overnight, and the bodies were terrible."
Guo Shao was stunned and thought to himself: Last time in Jinyang, Shi Yanchao killed a few soldiers and a few women, which was nothing wrong; for some reason, Shi Yanchao became famous for bloodthirsty, but Zhao Chao did not.
At this moment, a young general suddenly came to report and sent a letter to the general. Guo Shao pulled it open and saw it and passed it to the general.
After seeing this, Li Chuyun frowned and said, "Zhao Chao's army lacked food, so he wanted to eat in Shouzhou City... The last general believed that he could not enter the city, and he could transport some grain storage from Shouzhou to him first."
Guo Shao thought he was kind and immediately ordered: "Send someone to meet Zhao Chao and order him to start the military rations in five days. I will help him solve the problem. I will strictly order Zhao Chao to never kill the military and civilians in Huainan indiscriminately, otherwise he will never let him go!"
A general said again: "The last general is going to say something. Zhao Chao and Zhao Hongyin are family friends, and they are family members. It is said that their friendship is very good..."
Guo Shao is not familiar with Zhao Chao, but he is well-known to Zhao Hongyin.
