Chapter Three Hundred and Three Old Cunning

In late autumn, it is very cold to sit outside at night, but the advantage is that there are no mosquitoes at all. The surroundings are very quiet, and there is not even the noise of insects in summer... The only sound is the sound of bells coming from afar.

Guo Shao held Fu Ermei's smooth jade hand in his palm, and was stunned at the scenery on both sides of the lake.

A place of his own, a woman of his own, there must be a small garden behind the house. Every day after work, she sits at the door and talks with her. I have dreams a long time ago, but now, that little wish is not a big deal for Guo Shao. He can even satisfy other people's wishes with his hands.

But his heart couldn't calm down at this moment, and he couldn't relax, and he was still thinking about the outside world.

The remaining troops of nearly 20,000 Iron Cavalry, which were planned to be incorporated into the Guards Division, are now basically paralyzed in a state of organizational chaos, because half of the troops have been gradually removed; the generals have also had faults due to the cleaning. The Guards and Mass and Campus Division actually only have the second wing troops left in Tokyo. The Hu Jie Army's left wing has been reorganized, and the Long Jie Army's left wing has not arrived in Tokyo yet...

The remaining two hatchbacks of the Guards Department cannot fight, otherwise the reorganization plan of the Guards Department will be paused; thus affecting the reorganization schedule of the remaining Iron Cavalry Army to reorganize it into an army. It is not a good thing to keep the Iron Cavalry Army paralyzed for a long time and slowly lose control; the reorganization must continue without stopping.

Guo Shao only had the troops from the Palace Front Division, among which the Hu Ben Army was the direct unit; he would rather leave a part to ensure the security inside and outside Tokyo, deter other troops from threatening the imperial guards, as well as the troops from the outside town, than to transfer all of them... and then he would draw troops from the Crane Army to replenish the troops going out.

"I will send my second sister to the palace tomorrow and be with the Queen Mother." Guo Shao said.

Fu Ermei reluctantly smiled, nodded and smiled, "Well, I haven't seen my elder sister for a long time, and I happened to talk to her."

"Oh..." Guo Shao sighed softly, "I'm going out again just now."

"Husband just keeps doing serious things with peace of mind, don't worry about me." Fu Ermei said relaxedly.

Guo Shao held her hand: "But there will always be time to write a letter."

Fu Ermei smiled and said, "Oh, my husband is free, I will teach you how to practice calligraphy."

"I will keep Li Chuyun, and Empress Dowager Jinyan asked him to take the Tokyo inspection. I feel relieved when I come here." Guo Shao said. Fu Ermei whispered: "Li Chuyun is the father of Li Yuaner you mentioned?" Guo Shao said: "It's him."

Fu Ermei smiled and said, "Then you dare not let Li Yuan'er down."

Guo Shao said kindly: "I knew her before marrying her second sister; when I met her, I didn't know her second sister yet. She is a very good girl, but I will still get her second sister's consent first, depending on whether you care about it or not. No matter how good a person is, she is still worse than her second sister in my heart."

Fu Ermei asked softly: "If my father hadn't been King Wei, my eldest sister was the queen at that time, you should have married Li Yuan'er? Because I was a stranger to you at that time."

"I won't mention the past, now I care about my second sister the most." Guo Shao said hurriedly.

Fu Ermei chuckled and said, "It's okay, I've said it all. If you didn't know me at that time, can you blame you if you didn't know me? I just couldn't help but want to understand my husband's heart."

Guo Shao simply nodded and said, "It's that way, but there are so many good women in the world. I can't like anyone who sees it, right? At that time, I really didn't have much thought about Li Yuan'er, and it happened that she just liked me."

Fu Ermei asked again: "Does your husband trust Li Chuyun?"

"It can be said that trust. But..." Guo Shao looked into her eyes, "In this world, it is not easy for one or two people to truly trust. Ordinary people may be more likely to trust others because they have no chance to be tested by greater temptations and the bargaining chips for betrayal are not large enough. The late emperor (Chai Rong) trusts Zhao Kuangyin very much. What would Zhao Kuangyin do when the opportunity is ripe?"

Fu Ermei pondered quietly and said, "My husband wants to do not trust Li Chuyun?"

"No, I trust him." Guo Shao touched the back of his head. Fu Ermei laughed and said, "Am I stupid? I can't understand after a long time."

Guo Shao said patiently and gentlely: "I haven't said it yet. My second sister understands everything she said. My second sister is very smart, but she has little contact with her before... I have to say that, most relationships cannot be simply distinguished by right and wrong, black and white.

I trust Li Chuyun very much now because he has no chance at all. He is the commander of the front office of the palace, swaying like a rising star, without foundation or prestige; he can only maintain his status by relying on me. Objectively, he cannot have two hearts, and Li Chuyun's character and loyalty are still very good; I have the kindness of knowing him, and in the battle formation, I have fought side by side in times of crisis. Why do I not trust people like brothers in distress?

I don't trust him very much, and I won't feel at ease to let him stay in Tokyo to keep the situation so that the Queen Mother can have reliable people to use at critical moments.

...However, among all the senior military generals under my command, Li Chuyun was the only one with both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and very knowledgeable. When he surrendered to Zhegong in the northwest, he often had contacts with famous scholars at that time and had a lot of talks with cultural people. During the years I spent with him, I also found that his strategic vision was very unique.

Once such a person makes him full of wings, has a group of followers and foundation, and has prestige, he may become the late emperor Zhao Kuangyin. When the opportunity is ripe, he will not help but think about something; if he doesn't want it, others will also think about it."

Guo Shao sighed and said, "So I have to guard against him as soon as possible to become another Zhao Kuangyin, which will be beneficial to him... War is the fastest way to enhance prestige and strength; you see, over the years, a general or even an emperor can be created in a few years, which is war. I asked Li Chuyun to lead troops as little as possible to fight, give him high positions and military power, and his strength cannot be improved; when he was using him, his talent was still there. Li Chuyun had no foundation and prestige, and he would not think about things that should not have been reached.

This is also a consideration for me not to keep Yang Biao and Li Chuyun this time. Yang Biao is my brother. He has a clear distinction between good and bad, and he does not know how to compromise at all. He is not like a ruler."

Fu Ermei thought to herself and said with a smile: "Why do I suddenly feel that my husband is so cunning... Alas, don't be angry."

Guo Shao smiled and said, "I have such a good wife... My wife is so beautiful in the world. In such a chaotic world, I was forced out. If I don't have any means and ability, wouldn't I help others raise it? What should I do if I was stolen?"

Fu Ermei leaned her soft breasts on his arm: "My husband is actually very good. If I asked my father and brother about these things, they would have been impatient, but you would slowly tell me... I don't know why, just being with you and talking to you will be very beautiful."

"Me too." Guo Shao said softly, "but it is indeed a fighter opportunity at this time, and it cannot be easily lost to stay together. If it was too early, Li Jixun stood in the Taiyue of Zezhou, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he was chewing hard bones. The war might have been spent for a long time. Too late, I was afraid that Jinzhou would be lost, so Li Chongjin and Li Jixun would meet... And now is the time. In order to advance to Jinzhou, Li Jixun was shaken in defense, and did not join forces with Li Chongjin to grow stronger. So I ignored the failure of the imperial guards to accomplish anything, and was eager to send troops."

...

Li Chuyun was also with his family at night.

"Before going to the expedition, you cannot go to Guodu to inspect the inspection privately!" Li Chuyun said to his daughter sternly.

Li Yuan'er said nothing and lowered her head.

Li Chuyun looked back at his wife and said earnestly: "Men must be loyal, women must be loyal. No matter what the world is, this is the foundation of a stable life! You cannot easily commit yourself to others, and you must never abandon your master easily. In the past, Zhe Deliang was in Binzhou, and even wrote a letter to falsely accuse me of how Zhe Deliang was to me. Did I betray Zhe Duke? In the end, unless I had no choice, Zhe Deliang actually used despicable means to deal with my family, so I could no longer bear it!

Look at Guo Du’s inspection now, how do you treat me? Li is a person who is reliable in doing things and being a human being. Hum...

You have read so many classics, epics, and the Three Kingdoms are just in troubled times? Do you know that the slave of the three surnames, Lu Bu is not a hero, and he is almost unrivaled in wars, but what ends he ends up being truly trusted and valued? This is the lesson that classics and history teach the world!"

Mrs. Wang also advised: "Yuan'er, your father and mother love you so much, and they always obey you. What your father is saying is the truth, so listen to him."

"Yeah." Li Yuan'er said helplessly, "Of course I will listen to my parents, don't worry."

Wang sighed, "Oh, do you have to do this? It's been so long. You've been worried about it. How much has Brother Shao been worried about it? Mom is worth it for you!"

Li Yuaner's eyes were a little lost: "No need to say, I'm not stupid, of course I can feel it... But some people can only see him for a long time, and they can't forget their short-term relationship. It's not because he is so good to me, just want to see her and be willing to be with him. It's not like the young masters I've seen before. I hate it when I look at it and don't even want to stay for a moment. Sometimes I think, if I ask me to be with such a person all day long, no matter how high the status is, no matter how much money it is, it will be very uncomfortable. Fortunately, there is no."

Wang turned to look at Li Chuyun and said, "I have raised her for twenty years as if I have raised her. When I grow up, I will be attracted by someone else's soul. Sooner or later, it's my family's... It's better to raise her. (Li) Jilong will never ignore her parents when he grows up."

Li Yuan'er stepped forward and grabbed Wang, blushed and said, "Who said he wouldn't recognize you?"

Li Chuyun stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Everyone has their own good."
