Dark clouds covered the sky of Jinyang, and the sporadic raindrops gradually wet, moistening the dust and extinguishing the smoke of gunpowder. Soon, the "sloating" light rain became a rain curtain. The battlefield that had already been on the verge was further hidden in the rain curtain. The dense noisy of people and horses was also covered by the sound of rain, and the world became more peaceful.

Jingniang sat alone in the tent of the Central Army for a long time. When she turned around and saw the rain, she suddenly felt sad. Two lines of clear tears finally fell from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, suddenly the light in the account dimmed, and a figure appeared at the door, which was Guo Shao.

Jing Niang felt panic and hurriedly avoided herself, hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Guo Shao walked over silently and found a small wooden stool to sit down. Only then did Jing Niang realize that the actions just now could not escape Guo Shao's eyes. She was in a complicated mood for a moment.

"It seems that I'm not the time to come." Guo Shao said.

Jing Niang opened her mouth slightly, feeling uncomfortable and felt like she was wronged, but she was not very good at speaking. She usually spoke very briefly and straightforwardly, and didn't know what to say for a while. She simply sat there and remained silent.

Guo Shao said: "Zhao Kuangyin did not suffer any crime. I just took his life... I had to kill him. Such people have too much threat. If they don't kill them, it is a big hidden danger."

After hearing this, Jingniang realized that Guo Shao came in alone, so she came to see her for a special trip. She lowered her head and said, "You are the emperor now, you don't have to do this... Come here, don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand these things, and my loyalty will not be shaken at all."

"Yes." Guo Shao nodded, "I trust Jingniang."

Jing Niang didn't know what to say, but after a long time, she suddenly said: "Actually, I shed tears, not for Zhao Kuangyin, but for myself."

After hearing this, Guo Shao immediately cast his eyes on him, thinking about something.

Jing Niang felt pressure under this gaze, as if she was seen through her heart, as if someone was about to break out, and she instinctively began to resist struggle, but the light could not be broken through every gap and could not be refused, so it was filled in a flash, a little helpless, powerless, and very fulfilling and warm.

"I have heard a saying before: men always want to die, and women always want to live." Guo Shao murmured.

Jing Niang felt that this was a bit mysterious, but it seemed to make some sense. She turned to look at his face with a hint of curiosity. Guo Shao's face was very quiet, with a hint of sadness in the quietness. She could not resist his low, stable and slightly gentle voice.

Guo Shao said: "You gave your heart but were rejected. Maybe you had a little hatred for Zhao Kuangyin; but hatred is not indifferent, and you should still remember his care and concern for you in your heart. So when you watch him die, the hatred will disappear, and you will still feel a little uncomfortable. Women are prone to falling into this kind of thought. You seem more decisive than a real man on the surface, but you still can't escape such thoughts..."

Jing Niang suddenly felt weak in all limbs and looked at Guo Shao pitifully.

He turned his head and looked at the rain outside the gap in the door curtain. He fell silent. In this rough and quiet small space, there seemed to be only the sound of "wavering" rain.

Jing Niang was so angry that she glared at him: "I hate those mother-in-law and mother's women the most! What he valued most back then was his reputation and future. I counted everything, what should I think about!"

Guo Shao frowned and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "You will still feel sad when he dies. But you said that tears are not shed for him. I believe... Women always want to live. You will still have a dependent mind. There is a place in people's hearts. If someone belongs to you, you will care about you and value you. You will be nostalgic.

He used to be nice to you, but he doesn't belong to you... You may not be rude when you are determined, so I feel relieved about your old friendship with Zhao Kuangyin. You are not easy to satisfy, I am very nice to you, but I don't belong to you either."

Jing Niang looked at him in a daze, her shoulders trembled.

Guo Shao said cruelly again: "You belong to me, but I cannot belong to you completely."

When Jingniang heard this, her heart felt like she was tugging in her heart, her eyes were sore that she felt sore, and then her face felt hot.

Guo Shao stood up and reached out to touch her shoulder. Because Guo Shao's hands were big and warm, she felt a lot of warmth on her skin, and her heart was like a ball of numbness and couldn't pull it clearly. Tears were flowing, as if they were about to turn into rain falling from the sky.

Guo Shao stood beside him and didn't move. His voice was not loud, but he was very clear: "Just like I have to kill Zhao Kuangyin, everything is impossible to choose... I can't do some things."

Jingniang found that she had completely violated the belief that her father had instilled in her when she was serving as the "lord". Guo Shao's voice said again: "But I am not a person who is not nostalgic. You can always belong to me, and I will not abandon you... because we have met you very much."

When she heard this, she finally couldn't control herself. She threw herself into Guo Shao's arms and started crying desperately. She felt that everything had been put down, and she was completely disregarded and cried bitterly, "Wuwu" and quickly wet Guo Shao's clothes. She kept crying, not knowing when it stopped, as if she was sadder than anything, but more enjoyable than anything.

After a long time, Guo Shaocai whispered: "It seems like a mistake to use women in military and national affairs."

...

The grasslands in Fengzhou (Hohhot) are not raining and the sun is shining.

The middle-aged general Yang Gun rode his horse over and looked up to the north. The shadow of Yinshan Mountain in the north appeared in the sky, as if at the end of the grassland, a large area of ​​dark clouds hanging in the sky. Under the dark clouds, a black line was gently turbulent, just like the ripples on the water surface. The dull sound of the sky and the earth was not loud, but it was everywhere, as if it was the dull sound brewing before the thunder.

The black line was a cavalry brigade gathered by tribes in the north of Yinshan to gather towards Fengzhou. The tribes in the west were mobilizing cavalry to gather in Fengzhou. The tribes on the grassland were mobilized very quickly before the war.

Yang Gun withdrew his gaze and looked slightly at Yelu Xiuge on the front horse. Yelu Xiuge is the head coach this time, and Yang Gun is just the deputy general.

Yelu Xiuge was very young, but he had shown all the talents and demeanors that a general who was independent should have. With a devastating momentum, he quickly became a war of equality with the betrayal of Wei Zhumen, which made him famous in the Liao Kingdom and established his status as a famous general in the Liao Kingdom.

When he was young and successful, Yelu Xiu Ge still showed some signs that young people should have. Yelu Xiu Ge gave people a big feeling, even the conceit he showed in his words and deeds. Even his calmness was a kind of conceit.

Yelu Xiuge's face is as sharp as a knife, his facial features are firm, his eyes are powerful without anger, and he is born with a great general and has very good qualifications.

Yang Gun watched for a while, then put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and said, "Master General, I just got the news that Jinyang's siege began a quit the day before yesterday."

Yelu Xiu Ge also took his eyes back from the horizon, thinking a little, but he didn't look back: "The day before yesterday? The Zhou army had only been besieging Jinyang for three days, why was it going to be a quit?"

Yang Gun said: "It is reported that the Zhou army is very anxious to attack the city. Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, handed over Zhao Kuangyin to exchange for a five-day quit."

Although Yelu Xiu Ge is from a good background and capable, he is young after all, so he may not be able to learn a lot in detail. Yang Gun paused and explained: "Zhao Kuangyin was originally a general of the Zhou State, and he was a mortal enemy with the current Zhou State Lord Guo Blacksmith, and the two of them were irreconcilable. Therefore, Guo Blacksmith is willing to exchange this person with a military matter at this time."

Yelu Xiuge nodded calmly and said, "I have heard of them." He emphasized again: "Although the Zhou army has arrived in Jinyang for more than half a month, it took most of the time to build fortifications and deploy siege in the city. Now it has only attacked the city of three days."

Yang Gun said: "In addition to the nickname of blacksmith, Guo Shao also has a less famous nickname called 'Guo Pocheng'. This person's method of attacking the city should not be ignored."

Yelu Xiu Ge pondered for a moment and said calmly: "I have seen Jinyang City with my own eyes and also paid attention to the people of Northern Han. Not to mention that city can be captured in three or five days, it is surprising that we must gather troops to go south. Isn't it a report that the Zhou army has a large number of people in the south of Xinzhou?"

Yang Gun nodded seriously: "What the commander said is very true."

"Don't worry about those less important joints." Yelu Xiuge said, "I have seen this battle. The most important part of the Great Liao Iron Cavalry is to defeat the blockade of the Zhou army and break through the defense line to Jinyang."

"Yes, yes." Yang Gun looked deeply convinced. He did think that Yelu Xiu Ge was a real person, not only his martial arts skills, but also his knowledge and vision were not empty.

Yelu Xiu Ge said calmly: "Don't worry about Jinyang, we just need to prepare our affairs tightly. Once the Great Liao Iron Cavalry comes to Jinyang, as long as Guo Blacksmith still knows something, the Jinyang siege will be resolved."

Yang Gun said: "I sent someone to inquire not long ago. The commander of the Zhou army in southern Xinzhou was Li Chuyun. This person is nepotism with the Zhou royal family. Li Chuyun's daughter is Guo Tiejun's concubine. However, I have thought about Li Chuyun's performance in the battle to defeat the Southern Tang Kingdom, but he is also an easy-to-dealer."

Yang Gun stayed in Youzhou for a long time and often dealt with Northern Han Kingdom. In addition, he was knowledgeable and knew a lot about the Han people. He immediately breathed out again and said, "Which Han Dynasty, who had been to Yinshan, had also relied on his nepotism to get to power."

Yelu Xiu Ge looked conceited, but unlike ordinary young generals who were prone to underestimating the enemy. If he was an ordinary Liao general, he would be very disdainful of such a person who relied on giving away women. Yelu Xiu Ge said, "A person who is not easy to deal with? It came just right! Jinyang is a stone and there was no lead for a while, and reinforcements would run away as soon as the reinforcements arrived. If the Zhou army in Xinzhou was too weak, we would have a waste of time, how meaningful?"
