When they left Fengxiang and returned to Tokyo, the twelfth lunar month was approaching, and winter came as scheduled.

Li Chuyun's family and Yang Luozuo and others have dispersed. As soon as they entered the Tokyo gate, they found the atmosphere of living. Compared to other places, there is a relatively good order and a familiar environment. Only Jingniang came back with Guo Shao, because she had lived here for a long time, and there are still more than a dozen people in the mansion. This place may not be regarded as her home, but at least it is a relatively long-term residence.

"Mr. Lang!" As soon as I entered the gate, I heard Yulian's voice full of surprises of reunion.

Her oval face and the skin exposed on her neck were whiter and smoother. Her plump breasts and flexible waist lines made her look more and more beautiful.

Yulian came forward to restrain her enthusiasm and joy, and first bent her knees and held the salute in a manner. When Guo Shao held her, he made an action that surprised others. He pulled Yulian straight into his arms, then reached out and hugged her up.

"Ah..." Yu Lian let out a cry in surprise, put her hands on the back of Guo Shao's neck, as if she was worried about falling down.

Guo Shao completely ignored the surprised gazes of Jingniang and others, picked up Yulian and walked into the yard.

Maybe Yulian thought about the situation after he left home for two or three months, maybe she would say some sweet thoughts and feelings, and talk about her experiences on the journey... but she probably couldn't guess this situation.

Guo Shao is sometimes gentle and meticulous to women, with a keen heart for Sagittarius, just like when Yu Lian first entered this mansion and was sad last time, he could patiently use a dandelion to comfort and enlighten her; but sometimes he showed his side as a military general.

Simple, rough, direct.

I haven't realized the tenderness outside for too long. When I saw Yulian, the first thing he felt was not the narrative feeling of longing, but the thought of coming! Without any disguise, I couldn't even care about demeanor.

"I miss you very much." Guo Shao whispered to Yulian in his arms, his voice hot and hungry.

His powerful arms, strides as fast as the wind, were already in the heat in his voice, expression in his eyes, and every detail in every place, as if he was about to eat jade lotus.

Yulian's face was hot, and she had already guessed what he wanted to do. Without any quizzical and ambiguous actions, her body had become soft, with panic and softness in her voice. She lay horizontally in Guo Shao's arms, her hands were placed where she gently pressed on Guo Shao's strong chest, and said in a low voice: "It's broad daylight, don't be so anxious..."

After a while, she said again: "Slow down, you're a little scary, today I'm going to suffer again."

...

The two or three months of hard work and Yulian's tenderness did not make Guo Shao relax. Instead, he returned to Tokyo this time and became more nervous than before. It was not that he was nervous or that he was busy all day long, but he was inexplicably expressed in his usual words and deeds.

It was like a tense state of being in a state of great enemy, something seemed to be hidden in peace.

Almost every afternoon he stays at home for a long time, but instead of resting, he starts practicing arrows again.

There is a bluestone path in the back garden, one of which is relatively straight. Guo Shao puts a target on the road, and then stands outside for seventy or eighty steps to practice with a bow and arrow at the target.

At this time, let alone the matter itself is boring, even the bystanders will be boring.

He took an arrow, opened the bow, stopped moving towards the target, and kept repeating this way for a long time. Occasionally, he would keep shooting the target with the arrows continuously until the arrows in the quiver shot light; the speed was very fast, and a large part of them could not hit the target... But this kind of thing was not frequent. Most of the time he just slowly pulled the bow and aimed, and did not shoot an arrow for a long time.

Yulian and Dong Sanmei live in the back garden. Whenever they have time, they will watch him do such things repeatedly on the path behind without getting tired of it. They don’t dare to disturb Guo Shao, but just put sugar water, tea and other things in the pavilion, and can drink it when Guo Shao rests.

The New Year is getting closer and the atmosphere is full of festive atmosphere. Guo Shao still ignores anything about the New Year. After he gets on duty or meets guests every day, he stands on the bluestone road to do that boring thing.

At this time, middle-level generals are not only good at using troops, but also very useful in martial arts; and practicing martial arts will also make people stay in a good state of being ready to stand by. It is difficult to boost morale if you take the lead without being brave. Shi Yanchao often plays forward because of his personal courage and leads by example. As a martial art used in battle formations, archery is undoubtedly a very advantageous killing method in this era.

Compared with melee assassination in front of the rush, using bows and arrows does not need to risk being besieged or fight with people. Shooting from a long distance is very advantageous, as long as it is strength and precision. However, the training is cumbersome and high requirements. Top archers usually need to be trained from childhood to achieve beneficial effects on musculoskeleton development. Generally speaking, people who have been trained as generals since childhood practice archery. Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan have recorded that they have become famous by archery in their previous careers.

Guo Shao often stands on the path and stands quietly when he is tired of practicing. In his memory, a sentence from an unknown coach from the Fu family is very clear in Guo Shao's mind: Don't think too much.

This simple sentence made Guo Shao have a new understanding every time.

Perhaps the coach is not trying to keep his men from using his brain, but is just using his brain in the most direct place. Eliminate distracting thoughts and enter a keen but most direct mode: when to take action, when to shoot arrows, and no reason, it is a kind of intuition and a feeling.

Guo Shao relied on countless hits and missed experiences to understand such opportunities.

You cannot be entangled or hesitated at all. Maybe the top sharpshooter is not necessarily a gentleman, but he must not be a villain. Only with clear ideas and smooth thinking can this simple and rough art be brought to the extreme... just like the art of war.

Being open but not too much restraint, not having any disguise to conceal yourself, everything is restored to its most primitive nature and true nature.

...

In addition to practicing arrows, he often stayed in the Hujie Army barracks in the south city. The number of the First and Second Army was often uneven, but some people were always stationed.

Guo Shao still likes the soldiers of this army in private. Their characteristics are also simple and direct, bold and wild. No wonder the rulers of later generations are very afraid of such elite soldiers... Even the emperor cannot do whatever they want; for example, a mutiny occurred in the previous dynasty, the court asked professional soldiers to go to farm, but everyone directly changed.

Guo Shao personally felt that these soldiers were a double-edged sword, capable of fighting, but not so docile.

The generals were in the middle of the Mao, and Guo Shao changed his previous style of generals and walked through the ranks, staring at the soldiers standing with their legs spread apart.

Most of the soldiers are fierce men with wide shoulders, thick arms but not thick waists. From their body shape to their skin, they can be seen that they are veterans on the battlefield who have been experienced for a long time. They obey their generals and are used to forming groups, but there is no timidity or humility like ordinary people when they see officials.

Guo Shao stood in front of a soldier, facing each other, and casually pulled the crooked armor on his body. The soldier was a little nervous, but his mouth was muscular, and stood there straight and didn't move or say anything.

The soldiers were still quite convinced by Guo Shao's leadership at this time. The elite soldiers and generals were not completely rebellious. They only obeyed those who were capable, just like people like Yang Biao. There was less warmth in the army and more jungle-like rules.

At this moment, the generals of the command came up to report the number of people. Guo Shao listened calmly to them and did not say any instructions. He waved his hand and said, "Dissolutely, and garrisoned according to the military orders of the Privy Council a few days ago."

Each army has commanders and generals at all levels, and the garrison tasks of each unit are not allowed to be deployed by the Privy Council. Especially the people in the capital are transferred or transferred without the order of the Privy Council, which is very serious. It is fine if Guo Shao doesn't come to inspect, but he has been in the military camp for a long time and is familiar with the soldiers as much as possible.

After he waited for the various departments to change defense, he did not interfere in their military affairs at all. Recently, he was sorting out and copying the maps he brought back from Guanzhong, a total of six.

After two or three months of busy work, Guo Shao felt that he could submit a memorial to present the topographic map of Qin and Feng states, and fortunately he found a sense of existence in the court. At this time, the court institutions further streamlined the centralization of power based on the Tang Dynasty, but had not yet formed a relatively strict system like the Song and Ming dynasties, and the weight of the Privy Council and the most important part of military affairs in state affairs... Guo Shao believed that his presentation of the map might be able to reach the hands of the emperor or the Privy Council.

When Li Chuyun was in Binzhou, a relative of a military governor who had no military post could submit a complaint. Guo Shao felt that as an imperial guard general, he could submit a memorial.

However, this was the first time Guo Shao submitted a memorial to the emperor, and writing an article was a bit urgent. He had been working on this book for two or three days, but he had not made it straightforward.

Not to mention writing classical Chinese articles, he couldn't understand them even if he read them... He was not illiterate, but also recognized traditional Chinese characters. The key was that there was no punctuation. Mother |, these people who read and read in ancient times were really complicated and could do whatever they wanted. If there were symbols for breaking sentences in the articles, it was just a dot, and Guo Shao could understand most of the articles without any pressure, but there was no.

It has been almost five years in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but Guo Shao was a small pawn for most of his time. Books of this era were expensive, and the soldiers and soldiers did not need to read. How could he have the time to study ancient books? Unless there is a good way out for the imperial examinations now, and he has no worries about food and clothing, he can study and study them.
