Chapter 81 Shi Yanchao, who beat the horse's legs
Lu Duoxun stayed for a while and was about to return to Tokyo. Guo Shao asked a few people before collecting some gold, silver and copper coins for Lu Duoxun as a means of money, and sent several scouts to escort them out.
After seeing off the person, Guo Shaogang returned to the headquarters of the Central Army. He heard a commander cursing and saying, "We have been fighting in front for more than half a month and haven't seen a penny. The civil servant is better. He ran to say something nice and he will leave after receiving the money."
Wang Zhang immediately rebuked: "Money, money! You know how to get rich. Brothers will marching and fighting. Do you have to carry a few sacks of money first? If you go back, you won't reward the court?"
The commander was scolded by the top of the peak, so he didn't dare to say anything. He would win and would reward him, but he would have nearly 6,000 people in the army, and he would have a few carts of money to reward him. How much can one person get? The Great Zhou was strong, but his wealth was far inferior to Shu Kingdom and Southern Tang Dynasty in terms of wealth. When the Central Plains were a whole pot of porridge, these places had good weather and good harvests for decades, and were not affected by the war.
A few days later, news came from Fengzhou that Wang Jing's troops captured Fengzhou City and obtained 150,000 hu of grain.
Upon hearing the news, Wang Zhang muttered in front of Guo Shao: "Who knows whether it is 150,000 hu or 250,000 hu?"
Guo Shao sat in the tiled house as the headquarters of the Central Army, and couldn't help but remember another sentence Wang Zhang said a while ago: There is oil and water in the bones. The imperial guards from Tokyo cannot carry the seized food back, but the soldiers in Fengxiang Town are different. Transporting the food out of the Qinling Mountains is a hard currency; sometimes the food is better than gold, silver and copper coins. The Hujie army cannot sell the seized military rations. As foreign troops, they are not familiar with the land. If the news is leaked, the impact will be too bad.
Mom | It turns out that after a long time of fighting, I took all the real benefits for others, and I didn’t get anything from my own team? Sure enough, Jiang is still old... Xiang Xun and Wang Jing’s generals took over Qin, Cheng, and the rank, probably got a lot of benefits again.
Guo Shao did not doubt Wang Jieshuai's character for no reason. His men and horses climbed the wall without any brains, and suffered heavy casualties. He did not believe that Wang Jing did not consider his subordinates at all.
...
Lu Duosun returned to Tokyo and met Wang Pu first. Wang Pu taught him how to speak, and then went to Quecheng to meet the saint.
Under the gaze of many wealthy officials and nobles from all generations, Lu Duosun's face was already stiff and he could not control his expression. When he walked to the main hall, he bowed: "I bow to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no limits."
"Flat." A voice above said. The voice was rough, but the middle energy was insufficient.
Although Lu Duoxun was nervous, his words were still organized. If he was a civil servant, he would not do it. Lu Duoxun immediately got up and bowed and said, "I am ordered to go to Fengxiang to send a letter of appointment. At the invitation of Wang Shizhong (Wang Jing), he walked and patroled in front. At that time, Qin, Cheng, had already returned to our court..."
A general next to him ignored all etiquette and straightened up, "Fengzhou has also been taken down."
Lu Duosun hurriedly said "Yes". Of course, he did not dare to argue with the generals who were qualified to go to the hall. Even the Privy Councilor could be a general and could also be the prime minister. There was nothing good about ordinary civil officials here.
The noble above was a little impatient at this time and said, "Just meet someone. Let the minister recommend someone later, and then go ahead to reward Wang Jing and the others."
Lu Duosun was full of drafts. He didn't dare to say much when he heard this. He hurriedly bowed and walked towards the end of the ranks on the left.
At this moment, Wang Pu walked out and held a ritual and said, "Your Majesty, the total number of defeats in the Battle of Shu was won, and tens of thousands of surrenders were received, but the most critical point was only one or two major wars. The first battle of Weiwu City was successful and the battle of Huanghua Valley was a complete victory, which was actually a battle that decided the situation.
As far as I know, Guo Shao's troops of the vanguard Hujie Army came out of Sanguan in March, and the food and supplies in the rear were not yet prepared. Wang Shizhong wanted to seek victory in a steady manner; Guo Du Envoy believed that the Shu army was caught off guard and had not yet been deployed and dispatched properly, so he wanted to fight quickly. After the war, it was confirmed that Guo Du Envoy's views were accurate. There was no general in the Qinfeng area in March, and the Jiedu of the two towns was in their own formation, unable to take care of each other, and the troops were in chaos.
Guo Du sent a siege to Weiwu City for ten days, and the army's food and grass were in urgent need. He defeated the Shu army in Huanghuagu and obtained 20,000 hu of military rations in Tangcang Town... Then he could drive into Weigu Town and cut off the retreat of the Shu army."
Wang Pu first said it in a proper way, and then he saw that the ministers were so stunning that he whispered. He exaggerated how Guo Shao understood the warplanes and how to seize the opportunity accurately and accurately, as if Wang Pu had seen it with his own eyes on the front line. In Wang Pu's mouth, Guo Shao had already transformed into a person who was a god of military use and had no choice but to do so.
His words were fluttering, and his words were exaggerated, but he was quite organized. If the facts themselves were not what he said, they would not believe. These remarks were basically consistent with the report of the front-line provincial envoy a while ago... Lu Duosun, among the ministers, saw the prime minister's power and was stunned.
Moreover, Wang Pu was the prime minister and almost knew about all matters in the court. As he spoke, he mentioned that Shu was unwilling to surrender. Two days ago, the king of Nanping (Jingnan) sent an envoy to Tokyo to report secretly, saying that the emperor of Shu was unwilling to surrender.
Wang Pu said: "The king of Shu has no good generals, but he is arrogant..."
"Hmph!" The person on the throne suddenly let out a sound, and the indignation could not be concealed in his voice. Of course, this anger was not coming to Wang Pu.
Nanping State reported that in front of many people, Emperor Meng Chang of Shu slandered the royal family "like a dog that was a broken family" in front of many people. Chai Rong was also an emotional mortal. How could he not be angry when he knew this?
The guard, Shi Yanchao, the man in the cavalry of the capital, walked out and said to Wang Pu: "I ask Your Majesty to increase his troops and simply destroy the Shu Kingdom! The last general is willing to be the forefront!"
At this time, Wang Pu hurriedly said, "No, just scare Meng Chang. The envoy of Nanping said that the envoys who sought peace in Shu had arrived in Jingnan. When the envoys of Shu arrived in Tokyo, His Majesty did not see him and did not reply to their request for peace, the lord of Shu naturally knew that he was afraid."
Shi Yanchao said relentlessly: "I heard that Shu Kingdom is rich and rich. The king is a fool. He raised thousands of women and searched for flowers and had fun every day. Mrs. Huarui was even more famous. Let the general go and catch Mrs. Huarui and offer it to His Majesty!"
"Shi Yanchao, don't be rude, step down!" Privy Councilor Wei Renpu shouted.
Shi Yanchao then retreated in disappointment. Chai Rong did not reprimand and was extremely generous to Shi Yanchao. Chai Rong simply waved his robe and said, "Retreat the court."
So everyone had to bow and thank him, and there was no chance to argue again.
The eunuch Cao Tai, the eunuch in the harem, sang to leave the court, and then went directly to the harem to meet the queen, without any need to cover it up. In the hall, ordinary people cannot participate, but the content is not a military secret, and the eunuchs can hear it with their own ears.
Cao Tai explained the situation and speech in the hall in detail. Fu heard it and smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said casually: "That Shi Yanchao is really brave but not resourceful. He said a word, but nothing was right."
Cao Tai agreed, "That's right, Shi Yanchao is amazing, which made Wei Renpu and Wang Pu of the Privy Council unable to help but come out to stop it. In the opinion of the slave family, the officials and the ministers of the Privy Council could not wait to take Huainan first; the road to Shu is difficult and dangerous, where can we have time to conquer Shu? Wang Pu leaked his mouth and scared Shu."
Fu smiled without saying a word, with a little coldness in her smile. Not only did Shi Yanchao say that he didn't say that he would swear to the official family if he caught Mrs. Huarui and gave it to the official family... Mrs. Huarui is the most beloved concubine of the king of Shu, Meng Chang, and must often serve him. Even if he looks like a fairy, what's the use of? The official family will not be interested. Shi Yanchao showed his loyalty indiscriminately, but he really didn't say a single sentence.
However, Fu is in a good mood recently. Guo Shao's performance not only satisfies her, but also surprises. During these long days, no matter how stormy the outside is, the palace is as calm as water every day. Surprises can make Fu's mood more turbulent and less numb.
In her mind, Guo Shao has gradually become a crucial chess piece. Although she is not good at thinking about the word chess piece, it is not harmful to Guo Shao. Instead, both sides have great benefits.
A far-reaching good chess game has gradually become alive in Fu's heart. Not only did she secure everything she got, but she also liked the process of "playing chess" itself. Compared to the lottery of playing chess on the chess board, it is more exciting to have a big chess layout in the world.
If he could be favored by the official family... Fu felt that she had truly surpassed all the women in the world. Mrs. Huarui was just a toy for singing girls. What's the benefit of being famous for her? It's so funny.
A while ago, it was the turn of spring and summer. Fu accidentally got a cold wind and suddenly remembered a small plan. If he had abdominal pain in those days, could the imperial doctor diagnose his body from his pulse?
It should be difficult to diagnose, but when describing the condition, you can "inadvertently" suggest revealing the matter, and then ask the imperial physician to tell the official; the only problem is that in the palace, the official will not pay attention to such trivial matters, and will not send the imperial physician to take his own pulse, so some vague hints cannot be known to the official.
Fu thought about the relationship: when the official needs to care about him, he asks him to send an imperial physician to diagnose him, and then the imperial physician must report back to the official.
There is such an opportunity. On the way to the expedition... she felt that the time was long, so there was no need to worry. In the near future, the imperial court would attack Huainan, and the officials would definitely go to the expedition in person. Then he would find a way to go to the expedition. Pretend to pretend to be sick on the road, but the abdominal pain was not enough, so let's see how the imperial doctors were anxious.
Fu thought quietly for a long time, and saw Cao Tai standing beside him, he said, "You have to pay extra attention to the conquest of Huainan... Well, next time I see Wang Pu, I can remind him: Shu Kingdom is intimidated by force, and will definitely try to seek help from the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty) and the Southern Tang Kingdom; ask these two countries to restrain our country together. As soon as the Southern Tang agreed, he gave me a clear explanation and became famous."
Cao Tai hurriedly whispered: "Empress is wise. It seems that no one of the bearded and prime ministers in the court can compare with Empress."
