"Kuizhou will definitely be able to capture it; since the Shu Kingdom has opened its doors, it will not be a problem even if it is more than ten days and half a month." Guo Shao sat on a rough wooden bench under the sun, holding a branch in his hand. "The problem is the 300,000 hu of military ration in Kuizhou! Shu Kingdom has hoarded a large amount of food and supplies regardless of the cost. If we take these military rations, will our troops still worry about replenishment in this battle?"

When Li Gu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Guo must get the military rations no matter what. It is not easy to transport grain from the downstream. There are five left in ten or two ships passing countless dangerous shoals, and they are sailing against the current. In some places, the boats have stepped on footprints on the stones."

Guo Shao said: "As the chief general of the Eastern Army, I must consider military ration supplies, and of course I also want to get this batch of food. Now I am worried that if Gao Yanqi walks all the way and decides to be enemies with our Great Zhou, and when things go wrong, they burn the food with a torch. What can we do?"

A general said, "Wang Zhaoyuan is Gao Yanqi's upper peak, so ask him to go back and persuade him to surrender?"

Guo Shao shook his head: "When Wang Zhaoyuan was captured, he scolded Gao Yanqi. The two of them were not in harmony, and Wang Zhaoyuan could not convince Gao Yanqi to surrender."

At this moment, a cavalry came over, jumped off his horse and ran in the distance, clasped his fists and said, "Master General, the Shu army has put down the hanging basket and sent an envoy out of the city."

"Hurry up and invite me. As long as Gao Yanqi is willing to take the initiative to talk, everything will be easy to discuss." Guo Shaoxi said, and reminded the people around him, "Let them talk well in a while, don't miss the big thing."

At this moment, a young man, who was at most less than 30 years old, was brought over. The young man had a straight facial features, a well-proportioned figure, and was wearing a long robe and a squid. He looked at the scribes. He was taken to Guo Shao, glanced at the people around him, and bowed to Guo Shao in the middle and said, "You dare to ask, you are General Guo, the commander of the Zhou army, right?"

"That's right." Guo Shao responded with a kind face, wanting to hear what this person said first.

The scholar held up an envelope in both hands: "I am hereby order from General Gao, the governor of Kuizhou, to issue a letter of war. I think General Guo will not refuse. After noon, the two armies set up a decision outside the east gate to decide the outcome."

Guo Shao was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect Gao Yanqi to have such a situation, but he still had to go out of the city to fight... He thought to himself, maybe he felt that he couldn't defend the city, so why not have fun? But before he was happy, would he burn the grain to "repay the emperor's kindness"?

"Ha!" Shi Yanchao couldn't help but sneer with contempt.

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Shi Yanchao and looked at him. Shi Yanchao was still a little tactful, so he didn't say anything at the moment. Guo Shao asked someone to take the letter of war, took it apart and sent it to him, and read it silently.

The scribe said with his head high: "My mission is completed, please let me pour it!"

"The two armies are fighting, but they will come to the envoy." Guo Shao endured it. He couldn't want other people's things. He had to think of some way. "Don't worry, the Great Zhou army is a king's army. I won't even have this kind of demeanor. How to fight the decisive battle? The battle book is vague. Let's go to the tent of the military camp to discuss the details of the duel?"

"East Gate." Wen Shi said, "It is useless to say more, I only want to die!"

Guo Shao handed the letter of war to Zuo You, asked someone to bring the horse over, and left the battlefield with the scholars. On the way, he said: "Even if it is the enemy of each of them, introducing himself is a very graceful thing. Is the sir respecting his surname?"

After hearing this, Guo Shao was very satisfied and turned to Yao Lian and said, "Zhang Ying is a military general under my command. He doesn't know a few words, but his ideas are very real. Mr. Yao has read the books of sages and must know more than him. Now I ask you, why do you use your life to resist the Zhou army and burn down the food that the people have worked hard to grow?"

Yao Lian was stunned: "We are ministers of the Emperor of Great Shu, of course for loyalty."

Guo Shao said again: "Then think about it, what did you 'Emperor of Great Shu' do? Did you promote Wang Zhaoyuan and others to enjoy the benefits of being favored ministers? The Zhou people and Shu people are all ancestors. Why do we fight here and fight to the death?" He sighed, "I don't want to kill Shu people, so I have never killed prisoners of soldiers in civil wars. The question is, if we don't use martial arts, will the Lord of Shu stop splitting and concentrating resources against foreign races?"
