Guo Shao was wearing military uniforms and armor. At first glance, it looked similar to the outfits of the generals, and it was brand new and clean, because Guo Shao didn't have to go into battle, and the armor and weapons were just outfits, and the swords were never used.

But Guo Shao is definitely like the martial artists. He was born as a general, but his position has completely changed; as long as the general has made achievements in military achievements, he wants to firmly manage the territory he has captured. A pure general cannot sit firmly in his position.

Sometimes civil and military officials would talk nonsense in front of the imperial court, or even argue endlessly. But sometimes they would not say anything, and Guo Shao would come forward to say something.

He spoke loudly and said, "In just a few years, I have joined you in Youzhou, Hebei to the South China Sea, and now I have pacified Xiazhou and other states. Daxu's territory has expanded more than twice as much as the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty."

One sentence inspired the emotions of the ministers again, and everyone bowed: "Your Majesty's martial arts are extraordinary!"

Guo Shao also said: "But our monarch and ministers should not advance arrogantly, and the lower plate will be stable. Now Pingxia has a great victory, but Pingxia's arms wear and tear needs to be repaired, and ammunition and food preparations are insufficient; the northwest is large, so you should prepare it and then slow down. When the states are a little stable, the imperial guards will train and return to the court to reward merits."

When it comes to rewarding merits, the military generals were happy again. After Daxu established the country, the world became more and more peaceful, but compared to the previous dynasty who relied entirely on the military man to protect his power and position, and had to pay all the rewards, the current rewards have not been reduced. So this matter is really worth looking forward to.

Guo Shao didn't say anything, because he felt that there was no need to say it to hit morale. The generals present were all generals who had experienced many battles in the country and had rich experience in battle formations. Guo Shao believed that he could understand this battle and the future war situation.

The battle of Wuding River was amazing, but unless the foreign tribes were stupid, there would never be a chance to replicate this battle.

The first time the weapons were used in battles, and new tactics were created. Only when the opponent did not understand them would come to the battle very well and use dense formations to conservatively fight. Only when the enemy was not aware of them would he win, and he would catch the Dangxiang Khitan coalition off guard.

Otherwise, even if Guo Shao can win, he would never be so easy. If he wants to start a decisive battle, he has to ask his opponent whether he agrees or not.

And if you fight again in the future, the enemy will never be fooled again.

Xu's army was in the northwest, and the supply problem was very large, with the total military strength less than 100,000 people. There were only so many people, and the cost of using troops and the pressure on the national treasury was very high, so Guo Shao was unwilling to become a mortal enemy with everyone at once.

If you don’t give others a little bit of life, everyone will join forces to beat you! Guo Shao is ready to slow down, not be too aggressive, differentiate and induce the situation.

Guo Shao really used new things at critical moments with his later experience, but he had to try his best to adapt to the rules in daily governance. Firearms can not solve all problems!

But war really makes many problems simpler.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The northwest is very big, riding a good horse can exhaust the horse..." He said with relief again, "Fortunately, our dynasty has occupied the Pingxia prefectures and eliminated a large number of flank threats. I will discuss with my ministers to set up a 'Pingxia Travel in the province' in Pingxia, and temporarily govern this place, so that the court can gain a foothold here, and then strive for progress."

The so-called "moving is" means temporary. For example, the official position that Guo Shao was granted during his expedition sometimes has the word "moving is".

Everyone shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Guo Shao didn't stay much, and immediately stood up and left the seat. He glanced at the Zhe Dejian who had just arrived. After a ritual, the king and his ministers turned around and went to the signing room behind the yamen.

Soon, the eunuch Wang Zhong said, "Your Majesty summoned the Shuofang Jiedushi (Lingzhou) Zhe Dejian to come in to see him."

Zhe Deji immediately bowed and said, "I obey the order."

As soon as Zhe Deyan entered the signing room, he heard the "haha" laughter. Guo Shao smiled and said, "General Zhe, I have been away for more than a long time! Come and accompany me to see if my chess skills have improved!"

"I am so honored by the empress." Zhe Dejian smiled when he saw the emperor's happy look.

Guo Shao asked Zhe Deji to sit down opposite several tables and put the chessboard with great enthusiasm. Guo Shao knew that although Zhe Deji was a military general, he came from a noble family, and knew all about bows, horses, riding, shooting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At least he was much better than himself in playing chess, and last time he just gave in to himself.

Guo Shao said happily: "If General Zhe defeats me, I will grant you the Duke of the State and will not be replaced by hereditary."

...Zhe Deyan was shocked and had an incredible expression on his face. He had not come back to his senses for a while.

Guo Shao still had a very sincere smile on his face and looked at him, "Jun Wu is joking."

Zhe De hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I dare not accept this great kindness, for fear that the court officials would criticize it."

Guo Shao pointed to the chessboard and said, "Come on, I want to be granted a title, which is my power. What reason can I criticize?" He also said, "Duke Zhe and General Zhe take over the court to guard the northwest, and have made great achievements in fighting. In this battle of Xia, I heard that General Zhe was defensive to Lingzhou and sent people to share my worries. Although I did not participate in the war, I actually made great contributions to the overall victory. If General Zhe had not been granted the title of General Zhe before, I would also be rewarded sooner or later."

After hearing this, Zhe Deyan knelt down on the ground and bowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Guo Shao got up and pulled him up with his own hands, saying, "Don't rush to thank you first, let's talk about it if you win."

Zhe Deyi's face turned red, but Guo Shao laughed "haha". Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing.

To be honest, Zhe Deji and Guo Shao played chess and felt that Guo Shao had indeed learned a lot of chess routines, but after all, he was not practicing enough. Zhe Deji thought it was easy for him to win him... But no matter whether he wins or loses, it was just right and it was not easy to make His Majesty interested.

Moreover, should I win or lose this game?

Guo Shao lost a piece casually. The two of them played very quickly at the beginning, because there were so many routines in the early stage of playing chess, and they usually didn't put it randomly. If no one started, just put a chess piece in the middle, right? Usually, they found ways to occupy the corners and then occupy the edges.

Starting easily, Guo Shao also said in a relaxed tone of chatter: "The only regret of this battle is that he failed to catch Li Yiyin."

Zhe Dezhe said: "But your Majesty loses all his strength and is over."

Guo Shao said: "The four barbarians are warlike and brave in combat. However, I think their weakness is very obvious, which is that they are prone to centrifugal divisions. General Zhe looks at the current Tubo tribes. For example, Dangxiang is composed of many scattered surnames and tribes. Without the Tuoba clan, it is indeed difficult to gather them together. Can General Zhe know why?"

Zhe De thought about it for a while and felt that this was not asking him, so he said, "I am stupid, please teach you."

Guo Shao said: "Their tribal populations are each dependent on one family and are personal dependence. The common people do not recognize others, and they have no country in their hearts, and only recognize the noble they depend on. Therefore, each tribe is very likely to split and dominate their own affairs, and ordinary people and surnames cannot control them."

Zhe Deyi first agreed: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and I feel enlightened..."

But his heart became tense, and the chess pieces in his hand became heavier... No wonder the emperor did not directly reward him, but added a condition to win this game!

This seems like a joke, but it is actually not a joke at all! Just talking about this game of chess, the person who can control the victory or defeat is a virtue, and the right to make a decision is also his.

So, should we win or not?
