Guo Shao returned to the house by the lake, but saw Dong Sanmei squatting in the hall and rubbing the legs of a table with force. Next to her was a wooden basin containing water. When she heard someone coming in, she looked back and saw that it was Guo Shao. Without making any noise, she threw the rag in her hand into the basin and picked it up and wanted to go out.

"Sister Dong." Guo Shao called her.

Dong Sanmei lowered her head and responded "Yes".

Guo Shao remembered that her father was killed, and that his second brother was in prison for death, and that she was the only one left in the family, and he felt very pitiful.

But she didn't know if she knew these things, and she probably already knew them. Even if Yu Lian and others wouldn't talk too much, there were still some women doing rough work in the back garden. Although Dong Sanmei was a maid, Guo Shao personally brought her back to Tokyo from Hedong. She was young and pitiful, and she had been in the mansion for more than two years. Guo Shao now follows the local customs and does not treat everyone equally, but he treats Dong Sanmei differently and treats her like a little sister.

Guo Shao called her, but didn't know what to say, because he rarely talked to this little girl. He asked casually, "How old are you?"

Dong Sanmei said timidly: "This is thirteen years old."

After hearing this, Guo Shao said casually: "You are two years younger than Qingxu. You can do less work, and there are others to do it."

Dong Sanmei looked very timid and responded again "Yeah". Guo Shao sighed and looked at the girl. For a moment, she felt that this little girl was beautiful, not as thin and bony as she had just come from Hedong. Now her skin is getting plump because she is well-eating and has a white face.

Guo Shao said: "You don't have to be afraid of me. I have never beaten and scolded you. Why are you afraid of me?"

Just then, Dong Sanmei raised her head and looked at him and suddenly said, "Will Alang drive me away?"

"Why did I drive you away?" Guo Shao heard this and immediately guessed that she already knew about Dong Wajiang and Dong Er. He had to say again, "It's not that I don't want to save your second brother. It's really that he's committed too much and most people can't save him."

Dong Sanmei responded in a low voice: "I know."

He pondered for a moment, then stopped talking and let her go.

...Guo Shao's mood fluctuated a lot, and after his spirits were tense, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was really nothing in this era that interested him too much. At that night, Yang asked the slept with him and indulged in voluntarily; because compared to Yulian, Yang was a little more relaxed. When he slept with Yang, Guo Shao felt that the noise was too big and he used a cloth to make her bite and not make it too loud; but he didn't care much about it tonight.

As soon as it was dark, an unpleasant sound rang out in the house by the lake in Houyuan. Yang's voice was either a long sigh or a painful call, and the charming and soft sound drifted in the breeze, and the whole house could be heard. The doors and windows of the house were wide open, not soundproof at all, and could not be hidden at all.

In the bedroom, Yang's face and neck were covered with sweat, and a strand of black hair was touching his mouth. He looked pitiful. He lay on his side and panted with difficulty, complaining in a tender voice. However, he felt that Guo Shao hugged her from behind again. Yang couldn't help but say quietly: "I can't stand it. I feel more uncomfortable than what, how can I make such a trouble?"

Guo Shao disagreed, but instead remembered what his father-in-law Fu Yanqing said quietly, and said proudly: "I can also control the ten girls at night!"

After hearing this, Yang turned around softly and whispered: "Why would you ask Yulian to come here?"

After hearing this, Guo Shao hesitated and said, "Women will have resistance to such things? Especially for women like Yulian, she is very shy and never calls out as loud as you do, and she just endures it."

Yang said: "If you are like sisters, it doesn't matter."

Guo Shao was in a state of great confusion, so he agreed and said, "Put on your clothes and call her."

After a while, Yulian walked over in her middle clothes and a shirt. Her hair was loose, but she didn't seem to fall asleep. Sure enough, she said as soon as she came in, "Can you not whisper? Everyone in the garden heard it! It's so embarrassing."

Guo Shao said: "Yang Yue'e can't bear it anymore, come and accompany me."

Yulian's face turned red, she pursed her lips and didn't make a sound. She looked back and walked out quietly to bolt the door of the hall, and then came in. She and Guo Shao were already very familiar with each other, so she lifted the clothes on her back and quietly climbed onto the bed.

She came up and sat in Guo Shao's arms, and the two of them whispered. Unexpectedly, the back door of the room was not bolted, and Yulian didn't pay attention. Soon, Yang walked in and looked at Guo Shao with a smile on his face.

When Yang walked behind and covered Yulian's chest from behind, Yulian was startled and her face turned red. However, Yang laughed softly and said, "Sister Yulian is so big and soft." Yulian was speechless and reached out and grabbed Yang's palm and spread it apart.

...

The next day, Guo Shao continued to go to the guards' office. No matter what happened, he could not let go of his important matters. The promising profession of military generals was the barrier for his survival.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, Guo Shao thought that his father would write to Ding You when he died, but the emperor was most likely not allowed; maybe Zhao Kuangyin would follow the steps and be retained as appropriate. Because Zhao Kuangyin was not a person who would give up his military positions... But if he wanted to reconnect with the daughter of the King of Hebei, he would probably have to wait a long time.

Guo Shao walked into the Guards' Office, and looked strange when he greeted him from the general to the officials. When it was time for Dianmao, the generals of each army were not concerned about Han Tong, the actual boss of the Guards' Office, but many people paid attention to Guo Shao.

He knew the reason, it was just that he had been in a dispute whirlpool recently and was discussed by others. Guo Shao felt very embarrassed, and he felt like he had taken off all his clothes and only wore underwear to visit the supermarket and was seen by people. Sometimes people could only bite the bullet and live a thick face. If they were afraid of being discussed by others, they could only hide at home and have no shame to meet people.

After the siege, Han Tong, Gao Huaide and others, as well as the generals of each party, would discuss for a while in the lobby, and would meet and say a few words no matter whether they were in the battle formation... The habits formed by the generals in the battle formation are still the same when they arrive at the official office. On the battle formation, before the battle formation is set up, the generals of each department would always gather together to listen to the deployment and instructions of the chief generals.

In the lobby, seven people sat together and sat on both sides. The chair above was empty, which was where Li Chongjin sat. However, Li Chongjin was far away in Yangzhou, Huainan, and could not sit on the chair. Han Tong was in charge of the Guards Department, nominally, he was also the deputy commander-in-chief, and he was unwilling to sit on the chair rashly.

The sun is relatively flat in the morning, and the sun shines in from the doors and windows, and it happens to be on the upper chair. For a moment, an ordinary chair seems to be shrouded in glory.

Han Tong said at this time: "Two days ago, Wang Pu from the Privy Council came and told me a good thing. The court will allocate two thousand war horses to the Guards Department, and will increase military expenses..."

Everyone was happy when they heard this and immediately discussed it. A general of Long Jie Army smiled and said, "Our Great Zhou army lacks war horses, and the guards' army are even more in short supply. This is really a timely help. The work is quite good, and one transfer is two thousand horses!"

Han Tong said directly: "The elite soldiers under the guards' horse schooning command have exactly four wings. When the war horses come down, each wing will be divided equally by 500 horses."

The general looked a little embarrassed when he spoke just now. Because the Long Jie Army had a lot of cavalry, he was under the jurisdiction of the "Ma Junsi". Perhaps he thought that most of the war horses would be transferred to the Long Jie Army. Unexpectedly, Han Tong did it simply and roughly and directly divided it equally.

If two thousand war horses can form a thousand elite cavalry, it is also a very powerful force. However, if there are five hundred, it cannot be ignored. Cavalry is not like infantry, and it is difficult to increase; because the consumption of raising a cavalry with a horse can afford a whole team of infantry, and the legs of the war horses are easily injured and the losses are relatively serious. Anyway, all units are short of cavalry. However, in this era of lack of other means, horse soldiers are completely irreplaceable. Whether it is the need to convey information, inquire about military information, or the tactical needs of the battle formation to quickly and maneuver to seize the fighter jets, cavalry must be realized... Therefore, the Central Plains dynasty feeds horses with food, and the burden is heavy and has maintained a considerable scale of horse soldiers.

At this time, Gao Huaide said, "The court transferred horses to us. It seems that the officials have gradually begun to pay attention to the Guards. In the past, we could not compete with the Iron Cavalry Army of the Palace. It is all because the performance of the Guards Generals in the Battle of Gaoping was too poor and they fled at once... Now, it depends on the performance of the Guards Generals in the Battle of Shu and the performance of the Guards Generals in the Battle of Huainan showed their combat effectiveness, and thus established an elite image in the hearts of the officials and ministers again."

When everyone heard this, they nodded and agreed, thinking that this is the truth.

Gao Huaide said again: "The Hujie Army of the Guards captured Shou and Hao. The contribution and effect on the entire Huainan battlefield are not smaller than that of the Palace Front Office; but there are so many of us, the military expenditure is less than half of the Palace Front Office." He laughed and said, "It seems that we are eating less and putting more effort, and saving money in the medium and using it!"

Everyone burst into laughter and looked at Guo Shao. The most important battle was the Battle of Shouzhou, which was the good thing Guo Shao did. For a moment, the generals noticed Guo Shao's eyes, which were no longer the strange expression of gossip just now, and there was more respect and admiration. They finally remembered that Guo Shao had made considerable contributions to stabilizing the status of the Guards.

However, people have ignored one thing. Before attacking Haozhou, Gao Huaide was still the Iron Cavalry Army of the Palace Front Office. He was only kicked to the Guards by Zhao Kuangyin a few months ago.

Han Tong stared at his eyes and said with a cold face: "Don't be too happy too early. The official transfers horses to increase military spending, not to make everyone fat! Once the Northern Expedition is in progress, we must not let down the high expectations of the official!"

Everyone worshiped.

When Guo Shao heard this, he also felt that Han Tong was right. For the sake of the Northern Expedition, Chai Rong was making every effort to prepare... Last time, Wang Pu said that he would have to wait for a bumper harvest in a year at least. The war should be a long time, but the pressure came early.

Yesterday morning, Chai Rong said in the hall, "Whoever contributes the most to my efforts to recover Youzhou will rely more on whom I will never be biased." This should not be a joke.
