Chapter eight hundred and eighty second willing to gamble to admit defeat
The main force of Xujun West Road left Pingzhou and had almost no resistance through the Liaoxi Corridor.
Guo Shao came to Longshan near Liaoxi Fort. The scouts found that there was still a Buddhist temple on Longshan. Because the Liao army had been active here for a long time, all the monks in the temple had run away, leaving only an old monk guarding the temple houses. Guo Shao decided to live in the temple.
Lu Chengyong went to deal with this matter and promised to invest in the construction of a new temple in the Lianshan forest in the northeast. The old monk happily gave the property to Xu Jun... After all, most riots came and they would rob and kill them.
When Guo Shaosui climbed up the mountain along the mountain road, he truly felt that the spring breeze had penetrated the entire north. The plants were green, and various wild flowers grew on the trees and the grass on the roadside. He didn't recognize most of the flowers and plants, but he believed that if Lu Lan was here, he would have recognized most of the plants. At this time, the doctor was dealing with various herbs.
On a whim, Guo Shao bent down and picked a yellow wild flower that grew well in his hand. He couldn't stop at the beginning. Soon he picked a handful of flowers from the grass and branches on the roadside and held it in his left hand. The soldiers and servants around him were silent, making Guo Shao feel good and everyone was relieved.
"Yang Shiliang, you are not very physically strong." Guo Shao turned around and said casually.
The eunuch Yang Shiliang was panting and was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief while walking. Lu Chengyong and other warriors behind him were still not as tired as he was wearing dozens of kilograms of armor.
Yang Shiliang gasped: "Your Majesty is right, I am a little unsupported."
As soon as Guo Shao turned around, he saw tents at the foot of the mountain, a spectacular scene that was completely different from the forest. Liaoxi Fortress crawled on the ground, and several major roads from north to south, east and west were visible. This is also the reason why Guo Shao chose the hillside of this mountain. He stood and took a breath and watched the Liaoxi Fortress under his feet. Suddenly he guessed: "The Liao army once besieged Liaoxi Fortress. Xiao Siwenruo patrolled this place, and he should have stood on the land under my feet."
Yang Shiliang echoed: "Xiao Siwen is not the defeated general under His Majesty. Now that the army is approaching, that guy is afraid that he is trembling with fear."
Guo Shao did not comment.
The group continued to climb for a short time and reached the top of the hillside. A mountainside that was not very high. A dilapidated temple came into view. At this time, there were Xu Jun imperial guards everywhere. Guo Shao walked into the mountain gate, and a group of soldiers raised their cherry guns neatly.
Guo Shao held a handful of flowers in his hand, picked up a clay pot in the hall, and handed it to Yang Shiliang.
When Guo Shao arrived at the main hall, the bouquet of wild flowers was placed in the clay pot and set up on a table. Yang Shiliang was cleaning up the house with a few eunuchs and soldiers, hanging up the maps that Guo Shao used frequently, and a lot of paper in a sack, which were also pasted onto the wall that was pleasing to the eye.
"That picture of Xiao Siwen is posted on the top." Guo Shao said.
Yang Shiliang hurriedly said: "Abide by the order."
Guo Shao also said: "There are no grudges between countries, only pros and cons, but conflicts and anger between people are too easy to arise."
Someone came in and reported: "Zhang Jiankui, the commander of Liaoxi Fortress, and Zheng Xianchun, the general of Liaoning, were ordered to meet him."
Yang Shiliang looked at Guo Shao nodded and waved to the report guard. After a while, Zhang Jiankui and the others walked in, knelt down on the ground with a "splash" and shouted: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."
Guo Shao put down his things, stepped forward two steps, and helped them up with his own hands: "You are holding on to Liaoxi Fortress for several months and will live up to my expectations."
Zhang Jiankui bowed and said, "Your Majesty has a great trust, and I will never dare to forget it for a day."
Guo Shao was not very familiar with Zheng Xianchun, the civil servant of the Privy Council. Seeing that his face was blown dark by the sea breeze, Zheng Xianchun said: "Your Majesty, the people sent to the Goryeo Kingdom, took a boat to Liaoxi Fortress a while ago and sent a message."
"Oh?" Guo Shao turned around and sat down on a stool.
Zheng Xianchun bowed and submitted a letter, saying: "After the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, many Sumo and Mohist people fled to Goryeo and were placed in Pingjing (Pingyang). The Goryeo people used the remnants of the Bohai Kingdom to lobby many "Birth of Jurchen" tribes in Yalu River and other places to jointly raise an army to rebel against the Liao Kingdom."
After hearing this, Guo Shao was stunned and turned to ask Yang Shiliang: "Has the Goryeo envoy mentioned this in Tokyo?"
Yang Shiliang said: "I have never heard of it."
Guo Shao asked Zheng Xianchun again: "How could the Jurchen tribe be persuaded?"
Zheng Xianchun said: "I heard that the Jurchen tribe was going to offer all the collected pearls, 70% of the crops and dried fish. The Goryeo people agreed to an alliance with them, and when the Goryeo occupied the old land of the Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong, they only collected 20% of the income from the Jurchens."
At this time, the guards clasped their fists outside the door and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy of Wei, Gong Li, Gong Shi, Gong Gao and others have arrived in front of the mountain gate."
Guo Shao said: "Call them in."
Zhang Jiankui immediately bowed and said, "I will say goodbye at the end."
Guo Shao turned his head and said, "You two will stay."
Both Zhang Jiankui and Zheng Xianchun looked a little surprised and agreed: "I will obey the order."
Guo Shao said calmly: "Da Xu has only been established for a few years. Who will rule this country, formulate rules and maintain order, it will take time to verify. Some people are not loyal enough, while others are limited in ability. However, once these people hold the power firmly, they will never be willing to give it up easily. It will be difficult to have ambitions at that time. Don't underestimate yourself now."
After hearing this, Zhang Jiankui and Zheng Xianchun turned red and their attitude was even more respectful.
After a while, Wei Renpu and other former military officials and generals entered, and everyone looked at Zhang Jiankui and others... This was the central discussion of the central army. A military capital, Yu Hou and a small official of the Privy Council stood here. Obviously, their status was not enough, but Guo Shao didn't say anything, and no one mentioned that.
"Your Majesty will live forever!" Everyone ignored the statue of the clay Buddha and shouted in unison in the temple.
Guo Shao said directly: "The place has a wide view and a high terrain. You can build a granary in Longshan to build fortification defense, which will form a corner with the Liaoxi Fortress; it can also prevent moisture and increase military ration reserves."
Wei Renpu worshipped: "I can arrange the matters."
Guo Shao sent Zheng Xianchun's report to Wei Renpu and others to check. After reading it, Lu Duosun, who was with the army, said, "The Goryeo Kingdom is so moving, and he didn't tell the Daxu court! Your Majesty, have you sent an envoy to Goryeo Kingdom to question Wang?"
"No need." Guo Shao said, "Since the Goryeo Kingdom does not want to explain to the court, why should I force him? I naturally don't need to explain to the Goryeo Lord in the future."
He got up and walked to a map, walked for two steps, and said, "In this way, the original strategy should be adjusted." Guo Shao stretched out his hand and pointed to the circle of "Jinzhou" and said, "You can save steps, attack Jinzhou immediately, and increase the pressure on the Liao Kingdom."
...The next day, Guo Shao stood on the hillside outside the temple and looked at the vast camp at the foot of the mountain. The movement of the people was already obvious. Guo Shao's intention was to effectively control and mobilize the activities of tens of thousands of people through the specific deployment of the former camp military mansion.
As the chief of the former camp military office, Wei Renpu understood what Guo Shao meant, and issued a specific transfer order to each department. The generals above commanded the military office directly obeyed the military orders, and the generals and civil servants at all levels in the army jointly tested the military power of the main generals of the battle. Gao Huaide served as the commander of this battle.
Countless people gathered in the vast military camps and camps, and gradually formed a square formation in the chaos. Some sporadic horse soldiers dispersed from the road to the distance. The entire land seemed to have an invisible hand wielding everything.
Looking up from the hillside, Guo Shao no longer had to lead the charge like before. But he had to constantly think about the rules of each level and effectively test the feasibility through actual conditions.
The roaring sound of horse hooves and human voices are mixed with the waves in the distance.
Guo Shao turned around and walked into the temple and walked around the Qianying Military Mansion. Wei Renpu and others stood up to worship. Guo Shao ignored them. While picking up the seal talismans with various characters, he lowered his head to think. The characters of these military talismans were changed regularly. In addition, the envoys and military supervisors recognized people, so as to ensure the reliability of the military talisman system. Perhaps it can continue to be simplified.
In Guo Shao's mind, from the strategies, battlefield tactics, military system to the soldiers' morale, countless lines are extending.
