The Zhou army's cavalry was deployed on the rear wing and side of the army, with the main infantry camp, baggage, and the surrendered generals and soldiers taken away along the way. Some people and the people have arrived in Zhuozhou in a mighty manner.

Guo Shao picked up the bamboo curtains of the carriage and looked at Zhuozhou City in the light mist and rain. This ancient city located north of Jumahe is indeed far inferior to Youzhou City, and there is not even a urn city. Moreover, it was burned and slaughtered by the Khitan army two years ago, but now it looks dilapidated.

To defend such a city, heavy troops can be used to defend it, and there is no barrier to Jumahe. The staff all believed that the Zhou army should give up Zhuozhou and still retreat to Jumahe defense line.

Lu Xiaoniang's voice behind her said: "Your Majesty, wind and cold are not cured by medicine. The mood and conditioning are very important."

Guo Shao turned around and said, "Don't worry, I won't be defeated so easily."

At this moment, a horseman rushed to the next to the car and clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Yang (Yang Biao) has woken up!"

After hearing this, Guo Shao was immediately happy and said, "I'll go see him."

The guards called the groom to stop the carriage. A group of carriages and horses stopped one after another, waiting for the carriage that Yang Biao was riding to come.

Guo Shao walked out of the car and a guard came forward to help him, but he pushed him away. Only then did he feel that the drizzle that was still drizzling before and it stopped at some point.

The dark clouds in the sky are still there, but they are already scattering. The sunlight splits an exit in the middle like a sharp sword of golden light, and the light between heaven and earth is also bright.

Guo Shao walked out of the carriage and felt the illusion of walking from a depression and dark tunnel to an open world. When he saw a tree full of pink flowers on the side of the road, he realized that it was spring! The branches with the vitality of green leaves swayed gently in the wet breeze, which did not block the view of Zhuozhou City in the distance. On the contrary, it seemed to embellish the scene of the ancient city. In the breath of spring flowers, Zhuozhou no longer had a decadent intuition, but was full of the background of time.

He let out a long sigh and quickly walked onto the carriage that Yang Biao was riding.

Yang Biao lay in the carriage with thick soft fabrics, looked at Guo Shao who had just come in with his eyes open, and said, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't move!" Guo Shao stepped forward and gently pressed his arm.

The doctor next to him said, "Fortunately, the heavy armor on Yang Gong blocked the arrows, the wounds were not deep, and the internal organs were not injured. It was just that there were too many wounds, too much bleeding, and even the qi was weak and unconscious. As long as you wake up, you will not have any worries about your life. You need to rest and take care of yourself to recover."

Guo Shao said: "Mr. Bai has woken up my second brother, and I feel very comforted."

The old man hurriedly said, "The doctor's duties."

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Yang Biao's bloodless face, and reached out to hold his palm. Yang Biao's palm was so rough that it hurt.

Yang Biao's aura was weak: "I have lost your majesty's heavy trust and failed in the battle formation..."

"Not blame me for the second brother, just wake up and be relieved." Guo Shao said kindly, "This battle is a bit regrettable, but it is not that the Great Zhou army is not good at fighting. If Youzhou is in our hands, the Liao army will still not win. Let's take a break and fight again another day!"

At this time, the curtain of the car opened a gap with the bumpy shaking, and the sunlight cast in, and a warm light shone on Guo Shao's face. His eyes were bright, and the sadness in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

He seemed to see hope, and the sense of power slowly came back, a very wonderful feeling.

Guo Shao understood that he was a man with a hostile, cruel and dark side. However, the sad and unwillingness of his brother who had lost his losses before was forced to admit defeat. The anger did not make him feel strong. He wanted to revenge and vent his anger, but instead made him lose confidence and could invade even if he was weak and cold.

And now, a little sunshine and hope gradually dispelled the hostility in my heart.

Yang Biao's awakening reduced his sense of loneliness... Yang Biao is not a famous general who is as good as a god, but he is a person who can make Guo Shao trust. Guo Shao believes that he is willing to protect himself even if he doesn't have his life! Yang Biao's life can give Guo Shao a psychological hint: there are brothers around him. Some people who can be trusted will increase their sense of security as long as they are still there.

As long as the green mountains are there, you are not afraid of burning firewood! As long as you maintain a positive attitude and work hard to manage, it is unknown who will last.

"We are monarchs and ministers, but we are still brothers." Guo Shao put a little force on his hand.

Yang Biao nodded slightly and said, "Third brother..."

Guo Shao sighed and said softly: "The third brother should be posthumously awarded the title at the discretion of the court and passed on his son. He has the merit of sacrificing his life to protect the carriage, and should also be worshipped in the Merit Cabinet and admired by future generations."

After hearing this, Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again.

Seeing that he was exhausted, Guo Shao said, "Second brother, heal his wounds first, don't worry. I'll see you in a few days."

He immediately left the carriage and returned to his carriage.

At this time, the girl in a round neck robe was holding her fists on the side of the carriage, but she didn't say anything. Guo Shao glanced at her and said, "Get in the car and talk."

When the girl of Jing bent down and walked onto the carriage, Guo Shao slapped the wooden board of the carriage. The groom drove four horses and immediately pulled the carriage easily. The sound of "Jijijijijiji" rubbing sounded.

Jingniang asked softly: "Your Majesty is better?"

Guo Shao nodded slowly.

Jingniang said calmly: "I found that a small thing recorded by the Youzhou Branch (Biancao Department) had not been noticed before. That Lu Lan... Her mother's surname is Bai, and she was actually the concubine of Xiao Siwen, the king of the Southern Court of Liao Kingdom."

"Oh?" Guo Shao was also very surprised after hearing this.

Jingniang said in a deep voice: "At this time, many people in Youzhou also knew that they were found out by our people two months ago, but for some reason, I didn't notice it."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, "Lu Lan's mother... should be a Han Chinese? It was probably robbed by the Khitans."

Jing Niang said: "The main reason is that this woman often goes around His Majesty and has to be alert."

Guo Shao didn't say anything for a moment. When recalling the process of knowing Lu Lan and her understanding, he quickly ruled out that she was a spy. Because the understanding was just a coincidence and could not have been arranged by someone; the people in power in this era did not have the experience and precedent of arranging undercover in this way.

He immediately said: "It was a coincidence that Lu Xiaoniang's mother was actually in Xiao Siwen's mansion... It was a coincidence that our people were taken away by barbarians as concubines, and she was also a victim."

Jingniang no longer argues.

After a while, Lu Lan came into the car with an alley. The first thing she noticed was not Guo Shao, but Jing Niang sitting opposite him. She bent her legs kindly, and she politely greeted her.

She said a little embarrassedly: "I went back to find my uncle and brought some medicinal herbs."

Seeing her shy face, Guo Shao couldn't help but remember her stubbornness and stinginess when she lived in Zhuozhou when she was in Zhuozhou. Now, she at least fully trusts Guo Shao.

Guo Shao didn't ask anything and judged that this little girl was not a spy. Because of his intuition about being an archer hunter, the woman had a sunny breath and didn't have much dark things in her heart.

But Jing Niang asked, "Miss Lu was from Zhuozhou before, but he went to Wushan later?"

Lu Lan raised her head and said in confusion: "We used to be from the countryside of Youzhou. Later, we moved to Zhuozhou City. A few years ago, there was no war in Zhuozhou City, so I fled south with my father and went to my uncle's house first. But my uncle had passed away, and the rest of my uncle's family was in Wushan, my hometown, and then I had been wandering away for several years."

Jingniang said: "The Lu family has no one else except Lingzun?"

Lu Lan shook her head.

Jingniang asked again: "What happened when she was in the Lu family in Youzhou?"

Lu Lan's face was suddenly covered with sadness, and she whispered: "The Khitans robbed..."

The girl from Jing paused and said, "Where is Lingtang?"

Lu Lan's voice has changed: "I was robbed by the Khitans, and my life and death are unknown."
