The main force of the army has to wait for a while. The Hanshui fleet that came down from Xiangzhou and the joint fleet composed of the Hanyang Navy (Wuhan) went upstream from the Yangtze River, and the speed was slow. The Eastern Army must cooperate with the navy when it walked on the Yangtze River. However, the vanguard Dong Zunhui's troops and some fleets had already set off towards Guizhou, leading the captured Jingnan Army Navy.

The Zhou army in Jingzhou had good military discipline, and it was a quiet night. But Guo Shao was not at all calm.

He read various articles and drawings and re-suming information in his own book. The ancients were actually experienced and very wise, but their thinking patterns were different. They did not use tree-shaped induction and summary methods (such as writing methods such as reports), and various intelligences looked very messy.

Guo Shao's fingers slowly explored two vague writings along a winding line on the map: Kuizhou.

If someone next to him at this time, he would definitely be moved by his eyes. His eyes were so focused, as if they were a kind of love, and the tenderness contained a desire for endurance. The country can really make people addicted, if people can feel that they are in their own hands.

Even a modern person will return to the ancient instinct state, the original instinct of a man... it is like a lord who longs for his own territory, where he has the final say, what he wants to change and create depends entirely on his own wishes, and wants to realize his thoughts, attempts, will and dreams there. In the simplest dream of Guo Shao back then, "having a place of his own" included this desire, and his own place can give him the most basic dignity and safety.

Guo Shao yawned, threw down the picture in his hand, and his eyes stopped on the waist decoration next to him.

He couldn't help but pick it up and rub it, and thought of Fu Jinzhan in his heart. The waist decoration was a bit old. After washing it many times, the stitches and threads on it were still crooked. Guo Shao touched the stitches on it with his fingers, as if he saw Fu Jinzhan secretly embroidering the scene alone.

He picked up his pen and wrote something, describing his mood at this time. Guo Shao was not as graceful and implicit as the ancients. He could express his feelings, rather than hide his clothes and feel deeply.

"I can think of you when you read this, and you pursed your lips and said: It would be nice to be able to embroider your skills. I also dislike the poor craftsmanship, and I don't think you have poor writing. But you should then gently stroke the ends of your ears with your hands. That's what you often do, and maybe a hint of blush will appear on your cheeks. Maybe only I am lucky to see your other side of your face..."

"The battle against Shu is about to begin. This battle is of great importance. In order to stabilize the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't want to disappoint you."

Guo Shao wrote a dense collection of fly-headed small calligraphy. After thinking about it, he couldn't send it out at all. If someone was sent to the palace, it seemed uneasy. If someone saw it, he would be in trouble. At that moment, he had to put it away and turned into a text that could not be sent out for self-entertainment.

...

In Chengdu Prefecture, the war news came again. Xingzhou, Qingniling and other places urgently reported that they were attacked by the Zhou army again; Kuizhou to the east urgently reported that Jingnan Kingdom surrendered, and the Zhou army had already occupied Jiangling.

This time it was not like scaring people. It was as loud as the two sides, and the noise was so loud.

Meng Chang was frightened, and Yaxing, who was lingering among the flowers, was disturbed again, and hurriedly summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures. As always in the court, the ministers started to quarrel as soon as they stayed together.

A minister questioned Wang Zhaoyuan: "Didn't Deputy Envoy Wang say at the end of last year that Guo Blacksmith has no ambitions? Now the two groups are invading in large numbers, and the plan is very obvious. What do you say?"

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "What do you mean? You want to persuade Your Majesty to give up the title of honor again? The Zhou army has already deployed troops, and it is useless to give up the title of honor now!"

"Don't talk nonsense about the title? I'm asking you now, you claim that the Zhou army has been rejected, what's the point of resting on your mind?" The minister was aggressive.

When Prime Minister Li Hao saw that Wang Zhaoyuan looked embarrassed, he felt a sigh of anger. However, Li Hao did not dare to add insult to Wang Zhaoyuan and helped criticize him. Otherwise, he would have to bring about the wealth in Li Hao's family that was as rich as the country and raised countless singing girls, and he also wrote about the surrender of the decree.

Wang Zhaoyuan blushed and said, "Is it ambition to act rashly to use troops to our Dashu? Zhou Ting was forced to do nothing, and the little emperor and his son could not stabilize the situation with a blacksmith Guo, and they lack prestige, so they urgently needed great achievements to shock the world. Otherwise, they would just sit and wait for death, and then they were eager to jump over the wall and throw their troops... How can they take advantage of our Dashu by sending troops? Let's watch, how can the Zhou army return with no success? Last year's battle at Qingniling is an example. They can't even break through Qingniling and capture such natural dangers as Jianmen on the North Road and the Three Gorges on the East Road?

After this war, there will be civil strife in the Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty should reorganize his army and prepare for war and leave Sichuan at the right time."

General Li Tinggui said: "We must first defend both sides of the important places. Since Deputy Envoy Wang is eloquent and comes up with a strategy in front of His Majesty, how should he defend? Where should he focus on the North and East Roads?"

Wang Zhao walked away for two steps, and if he was thinking about it, he would not speak for a moment.

Li Hao said: "The East Road of the Zhou army is the inspector of the Palace Front, Guo Shao personally led the army. The Palace Front Office has always been the most elite of the Zhou army. I think that our army's combat power is not as good as the Zhou army, and it is better to make up for the weakness by several times the number of people. The main force should be concentrated in the east, first defending the Three Gorges and Kuizhou, and then gathering heavy troops to block the East Route Army in Dongchuan. The Northern Road Zhou army is a partial division, mainly to control the troops. Even if it breaks through Bashan and goes deep into Mianzhou alone, our country can still rush to rescue nearby."

Wang Zhaoyuan sneered: "Prime Minister Li said it well. He did not set up troops in the dangerous place of Jianmen in Bashan, but he would let the Zhou army go to the Xichuan Plain to fight in the field?"

Li Hao said: "If Deputy Envoy Wang has great insight, come and listen."

Wang Zhaoyuan seemed to have come up with a solution, and at this time he was very calm and said calmly: "Eight words can destroy the Zhou Dynasty army."

Meng Chang was tempted to be curious and asked anxiously: "What eight characters?"

"Defend everywhere and win surprises." Wang Zhaoyuan said, "Reinforcements are divided into two groups, relying on the terrain to defend from each other, and keeping the Zhou army out of the country! Why do you need heavy troops in Dongchuan? Gao Yanqi was not in Kuizhou. Your Majesty sent another team of troops to reinforce, including the three gorges of the Yangtze River and the strong city of Kuizhou, which is to resist the enemy. Shu relies on the advantage of the territory when defending, and should divide the troops to resist in all places. The Zhou army is not in a state of affairs and is exhausted, and then sends troops to defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Meng Chang pondered for a moment and felt that Li Hao's statement was unreliable. He actually wanted to weaken the northern route and open Mianzhou (Mianyang) closest to Chengdu... When Mianzhou was lost, Chengdu was directly under the city; in comparison, Dongchuan was farther apart, and there were many important towns along the way. Meng Chang really did not see the cleverness of Li Hao's strategy, so he said: "I think the strategy of Deputy Envoy Wang is more reliable and should rely on the geographical advantage to defend in a dangerous place. But our army cannot act rashly and take risks with the important place as a joke."

Wang Zhaoyuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you can seize the opportunity to go out of the city to harass the city. It is not the best way to defend the enemy from time to time. Destroy a group of troops from time to time, weaken their strength, and make it easier when defending; offense and defense are both good and bad."

Li Hao urgently advised: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the partial words of the Deputy Envoy of the King! No matter how dangerous the mountains and rivers are, you must use troops to fight. It is a taboo to divide the troops; let alone resisting step by step and losing continuously will affect the morale of the entire army, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
