Chapter 149: Li Chongjin Transcends the Tribulation

The family is leisurely and warm, because the people there are almost no pressure to survive now and there is no need to fight fiercely. But Guo Shao dared not be greedy and went to the Guards early the next morning.

The Guards Department is now outside the inner and outer gates of the imperial city, and the south gate is located east. Compared with the institutions in front of the Northern Yadian, this place belongs to the outer court and is indeed not that close. Guo Shao first reported to Han Tong to indicate the end of the holiday date.

There were many daily trivial matters in the morning, mainly to the wings, the chief generals and deputy generals of each department on duty; and then check the orders of the Privy Council with all the generals present. Daily military orders are city defense, and the power is all in the hands of the Privy Council; special circumstances are to mobilize troops, which is very important. If you make mistakes in the movement of troops, the crime will be very serious.

When these things are over, you can handle some military affairs at will throughout the day. If you are lazy, you can procrastinate, and if you are diligent, you can do more practical things. Anyway, some things are not forced, and the pressure is not that great.

There are many people in the Guard Division, but now there are only three most important people: Han Tong, Guo Shao, and Gao Huaide.

There is also Li Chongjin, but he is also remembered in Huainan. After all, he is the first position of the Guards Division. Li Chongjin is not there, and Han Tong, the deputy commander of the Mass and Crafts, has the final say, but Guo Shao's position is slightly lower and has considerable power. At least one person can reject major events. If Guo Shao does not agree with the military order of the Privy Council, Han Tong dares not issue military orders. Gao Huaide serves as the infantry chief, nominally managing the left and right sides of the Hujie Army. The commander of the Chai Guihujie Army is also in and out of the Guards Division... Han Lingkun, the commander of the Mass Division, is not in Tokyo for the time being.

Guo Shao remembers that someone said that there are many people in the world who can meet, but I often think about it. In fact, there are only a few people. Now when he thinks about this, he thinks it makes some sense. He is in the Guards Department every day, and this is mainly the communication between people.

...There was a shower this morning, and now it was drizzling. However, the rain in spring was not as fast as summer, and it slowly continued to spread. In February, it was still a bit cold even if I sat down and didn't move.

Guo Shao was sitting in the warehouse signing room, slowly looking through some old military orders and official documents archives. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms changed dynasties very quickly, and things that were too early were not found at all, but in recent years, you can still see some clues from them.

Fortunately, I learned to read. It was very difficult to read traditional Chinese characters without punctuation at the beginning, but I calmed down and read more, and I gradually got used to it. When Zao Li came in, Guo Shao rubbed his hands, stopped to drink a cup of hot tea, and took a rest while watching the rain scene outside the door. Looking at the swaying rain curtains, Guo Shao felt something...

At this point, people of the same class are cautious in their words and actions. No one will tell you what to do and what principles to follow. Guo Shao was the team leader two years ago, and he did not get into a developed position in his previous life. He looked dark and could only rely on his own experiences and summarizing them from his surroundings... It is obviously incomparable to those old fried dough sticks who came from a family.

However, Guo Shao's thinking and angle of thinking about the problem are obviously different. Now he is thinking about some abstract insights: the population of the Great Zhou is at least tens of millions, with countless towns and counties, but more than 100,000 imperial guards have formed an overwhelming advantage over the whole world. Tens of millions of people are not as good as 100,000? Obviously not. If tens of millions of people are twisted together, it is definitely a force that the rulers cannot control, but the question is who can twist all towns and counties together... Anyway, just a few individual prefectures and counties cannot fight against the central government.

The same emperor and senior generals, the nobles had only such a few people, but they could control more than 100,000 imperial guards. In addition to relying on prestige, they were also the result of division... The imperial guards and soldiers were the same as the people of the world.

More than 100,000 imperial guards are very powerful, but who can make them oppose the emperor and ministers at the same time? If there is such a person, he will be stared before he can become a wing, or cannot control it, then this person is the new ruler... What is amazing is not the 100,000 imperial guards, but the person who can make 100,000 imperial guards obey orders. Because 100,000 imperial guards are not one, but a complex composed of countless troops and individuals.

Guo Shao was thinking about it for a while and then remembered a sentence, which probably means this: the millions of people have great power, but for individuals, you are just a drop of water from the sea, so you have no power.

At this moment, Gao Huaide walked in. Guo Shao put down the teacup, stood up and greeted politely: "Gaodu."

In Gao Huaide's family, he called Brother Gao; but in the Guards Department, Guo Shao still called him a military position relatively low-key... Although there are many people in the imperial guards who call him brothers, it is not a bad thing to be low-key.

Gao Huaide also hurriedly replied to the gift and walked over. Guo Shao turned his head and looked at the Zaoli, and pointed at the tea cup he drank. The Zaoli finally understood and went to pour the tea. Guo Shao couldn't help but think: Such a high-end yamen, the servants are not yet eyed. Sure enough, the officialdoms of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have not yet become powerful?

Gao Huaide said: "Director Han asked the horses and the Busi to plan some lists. Huainan surrendered troops to form the Huaide army, and it is under the jurisdiction of our guards. We can't let Huainan generals take their own troops and send a group of people over... It happened a few days ago, General Guo is not in Tokyo yet."

Guo Shao's heart immediately raised it, and he endured it yesterday and didn't mention it. Today, Gao Huaide took the initiative to mention it. If this matter is done without any trace, it will be natural, and he is happy.

Gao Huaide glanced at Zaoli who had gone out and said softly: "The generals of the left wing of the Hujie Army fought hard in Huainan, and I felt it was not easy to move. I could only pick some people from the right wing. I have been in the right wing for a few days, but it was not long, and I don't know most of them."

Guo Shao thought to himself: Gao Huaide is really good at the truth, it is true. If you are straightforward to others, others will always submit to Li Gongtao.

He said quietly: "I heard that this matter is really difficult. There is always someone to go to the Huaide Army, not... Gao Duzhi always has to pick a list of Hujie Army, and he cannot throw all the list of military generals to the Ma Junsi."

"That's true." Gao Huaide nodded seriously.

Guo Shao fooled again: "Shi Yanchao has a bit of prestige in the Ma Jun. Although he was transferred to the Palace Front Office, we did too much here, and Shi Yanchao may not be satisfied."

Gao Huaide had no expression on his face and was not in a hurry.

Guo Shao was a little confused. He didn't know what he was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I was looking at the old file, but I found a few people. My opinion is that these people only care about the specialty, and they are cheating when fighting. Staying in the Hujie Army will reduce the combat effectiveness of the Guards. It is better to go to the Huainan Army."

After saying that, he took out a long list from his arms and handed it over: "General Gao can be used as a reference, but then Deputy Han will have to agree."

Gao Huaide didn't even look at it and directly accepted: "People who were transferred to the Huaide army should be slightly promoted, so that they can convince the public."

"It's reasonable, General Gao said very well." Guo Shao nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a low-level civil servant came over and said, "Wang Pu, deputy Privy Councilor of the Privy Council, came to the Guards Department, and Deputy Han asked the two generals to go and discuss matters quickly."

Guo Shao put down the teacup and said, "I'll go first. General Gao's tea hasn't been drunk yet."

Gao Huaide understood and nodded, "Please, General Guo."

When we arrived at the lobby, we saw Wang Puzheng sitting steadily on the chair on his side. After greeting each other, Guo Shao also took a seat. No one sat on the upper seat, and everyone sat on both sides.

From Huainan, Guo Shao found that Wang Pu appeared more by the emperor and military occasions, but Privy Councilor Wei Renpu was rare. Look at this situation, is Wang Pu going to be promoted to Privy Councilor?

It is said that the Privy Councilor Wei Renpu was the most important minister appointed by Taizu Guo Wei, but Chai Rong was also a strong lord. Now he has captured the fourteen states of Huainan in one fell swoop, and his prestige has greatly improved. He seems to have begun to let go and realize his personal wishes.

Wang Pu was very cautious in his work. This time he came to personally deliver the urban defense deployment arrangements of the Privy Council. The Guards Department was mainly responsible for the southern city and the outer city.

After the crowd arrived, he began to say: "This is the defense transfer order in late February, which will be invalidated after the end of February. If there is no new transfer order at the end of the month, it will be used until March... However, the imperial guards have no major issues recently and should not be omitted."

Han Tong asked stiffly: "When will the imperial guards do major things again (Northern Expedition)? What are the opinions of Deputy Envoy Wang?"

Han Tong said that Han was dumbfounded, and few people had a good relationship with him. However, Wang Pu didn't seem to care about his attitude and said bluntly: "It's still unclear. If the weather is good this year and the summer and autumn are good harvests, we can give advice next year; if the weather is not good this year, we have to delay it. The world's war has been hard for a long time, so we can't be too anxious. This year, the country should pay attention to the political harmony of the people, govern the local government, light taxes and low taxes and taxes on people's livelihood, rather than conquering all sides."

Guo Shao said, "The Deputy Envoy Wang is far-sighted and dedicated to serving the people, which makes us admire him very much." Gao Huaide and Chai Gui also echoed.

After Wang Pu said that, he took out the official documents and began to arrange everything.

This transfer order was sent by the deputy envoy of the Privy Council in person. Obviously, there was no problem. The four generals looked at their intentions and decided. As long as they summoned the generals in the second wing to verify them tomorrow morning, they could issue military orders separately.

Guo Shao felt that being a military general was relatively easy. As long as he didn't fight, there were actually not many things to do in normal times. He just had to go to war and work hard.

...Gao Huaide handed over the transfer list that afternoon. Of course, Guo Shao had nothing to say and agreed. Han Tong saw that the commander of the Infantry and Military Affairs Office were in charge and the commander of the Horse and Military Affairs Office had no objection, so he also looked at it and did not express his objection. This guy was not easy to get along with anyone, but it was only for personal relationships. He was not a person who was looking for trouble in official business. He was usually conscientious and conscientious.

But Han Yanyan was also in the front office of the Palace, and was not familiar with these low-level generals, so he couldn't see anything.

The people with the most prestige and foundation in the Guards Department were Li Chongjin and Shi Yanchao... and the key figures sitting in this government office are all people who have just changed their blood. No one is better than anyone else.

Everyone started to clean up Li Chongjin's old life, and using the Huaide Army was just the beginning.
