Chapter 521 Unable to reconcile

5days ago traverse Novels 3
Guo Shao said: Zhao Kuangyin was in the Northern Han Dynasty and unscrupulously slandered and insulted the emperor's sister-in-law. When I destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, I captured him and apologized to the emperor's sister-in-law.

Fu Jinzhan heard him relaxed and smiled very well at the moment, looking at Guo Shao's copper-colored face with a circumcision: Is it like catching Meng Chang?

Zhao Kuangyin is different from Meng Chang, and I cannot forgive him.Guo Shao was also relaxed, but as he spoke, he gradually showed anger on his face. He used to be my mortal enemy, greatly threatening my life, family, and everyone around him.I will get rid of it soon!At that time, the situation in Tokyo was urgent and the victory or defeat was blinking. At that time, the net of heaven and earth was unable to deploy, so the guy ran away. Now it has become a great disaster.

He incited to provoke domestic hidden dangers and insulted the royal family.The last time a spy sneaked into Tokyo to try to steal military aircraft for the enemy country, I suspect it was his doing.Although this person has failed, his hatred has never been eliminated.

Fu Ermei advised her kindly: Husband, please calm down.

Guo Shao was silent for a moment, his anger faded a little, and said again: I have asked the Privy Council to send someone to sneak into the Northern Han Dynasty to grasp Zhao Kuangyin's whereabouts.If you can catch him this time, you have to let him taste humiliation and worry first, and then let him die!

Fu Jinzhan faintly felt Guo Shao's cruel side, and he was not kind to deal with Zhao Kuangyin's remnants before.

However, he is still a very generous person. I heard that there are still evaluations of women in the army.

Fu Ermei seemed to feel something was wrong with the atmosphere.The three of them fell silent and had a meal slowly.

After finishing eating, Guo Shao put down his chopsticks, then he calmed down his tone and pondered: I have thought a lot about where to go now.In fact, we have enough. I decided not to use military forces against the Northern Han and Khitans for their ambitions and great joy...

what else?Fu Jinzhan asked softly.

Fu Jinzhan is quite willing to listen to Guo Shao’s thoughts. That is the emperor’s thought. Maybe no one can tell his inner thoughts except himself... But Fu Jinzhan also truly felt that the position between him and Guo Shao had been reversed.

Trust and affection have not changed, but now she is no longer in the active position; Guo Shao is no longer a subordinate of her and the Fu family, he has become the master.

Safety.Guo Shao's voice brought Fu Jinzhan, who was a little distracted, to his senses.

Guo Shao said: There are only two types of forces that can pose a threat to our security.The first type is a mortal enemy with hatred, such as Zhao Kuangyin, and the Northern Han (descendants of the Later Han) who had always regarded the Great Zhou as an enemy at the national level and believed that the Zhou Dynasty had robbed their country.The second type is forces that are stronger than us, such as the Khitan, who can oppress us or even threaten us to submit when we are strong.So if I stop here, I will feel uneasy.

……

At the southern gate of Jinyang (Taiyuan), Zhao Kuangyin turned around and said to Li Jixun: Guo Shao will attack the Northern Han.

Li Jixun rode his horse and rushed up and said: Why is Brother Zhao so sure?Guo Blacksmith had just usurped the throne, so why didn’t he govern the country and unify the world first?

At this time, they had already reached the city gate, and a group of soldiers guarding the city were standing at the door.

Zhao Kuangyin ignored the conversation, turned over and dismounted the horse, led the horse and his men toward the city gate.

He walked into the door and couldn't help but observe the city gate carefully.

The city wall is very thick, and the bottom of the wall of the door is at least twenty steps thick (more than twenty meters thick), so when Zhao Kuangyin walked in, it seemed like he had entered a tunnel!

The light in the cave was a little dark, and the bright light outside the city gate was right in front of it. At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be about to see the light of the sky again from the cave.

Jinyang City is a majestic city!Zhao Kuangyin praised casually.

After walking for a long time, they left the city gate.

After walking on the post road, there were not many people on the road and they didn't know them.

Zhao Kuangyin then said: The Northern Han Kingdom has always been a mortal enemy of the Great Zhou, and the terrain is hanging above the Central Plains; since the end of the Tang Dynasty, several new lords who replaced the previous dynasty were the governors of Hedong, and Tokyo must regard Jinyang as a major concern.Moreover, the danger of Jinyang lies in the majestic city. The former emperor (Chai Rong) attacked the Northern Han Dynasty and returned without success, so he could not conquer Jinyang City.Guo Blacksmith thought he was sharp in siege, but he didn’t want to try it?

Zhao Kuangyin paused and said: It is of course important to unify the world, but since the two major powers of Shu and Southern Tang were destroyed, it is no longer difficult to unify the world; other small countries cannot threaten and constrain the Great Zhou, and those small countries cannot hold Guo Blacksmith's footsteps of the Northern Expedition.As for the governance of the country?Brother Li thought, how should we manage it?

Li Jixun pondered and couldn't answer for a while. After all, he was just a general and probably rarely thought about those things.

Zhao Kuangyin said: In today's towns, the power to interfere in the government affairs of local officials has been taken back (the edict of the Chai Rong period strictly prohibited the governor from interfering in the government affairs of prefectures and counties), and all the elite soldiers were taken away.The town has no strength anymore, and the sphere of influence is only a city in the capital; if it is still weakened, only financial power can be left, and a transfer can be set up to further regain the power of the town to make money, and then the governor will become an empty shell.

The throne of the Blacksmith Guo is the fruit of the late emperor!Since Taizu and the late emperor, they have been restricting and weakening local governors and implementing strategies to strengthen the trunk and weak branches; in the current Central Plains, local towns cannot threaten Tokyo at all, and the central government has become a powerful force when the late emperors are in power.After Guo Blacksmith usurped the throne, the local area had no strength and there was no need to rush to touch them.

Li Jixun said: In this way, Brother Zhao already knew that Li Yun could not accomplish a big thing?

Of course it can't be done, but I was so obedient and obedient to adjust defense this time.Zhao Kuangyin said.

Even though they knew they could not do anything, they still incited Li Yun, so everyone stopped mentioning it... because Zhao Kuangyin and others were very dissatisfied with Guo Shao and were very angry!

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: It is because Guo Shao destroyed the two countries in a row and his power, so Li Yun probably was a little afraid of this person who was too capable of beating.Therefore, from the perspective of the Guo Shao regime, the current stability of the position is not to weaken the local area, but to further enhance its power; these are the reasons why I judge that Guo Shao will continue to attack the Northern Han Dynasty.

He thought for a while and pondered: Guo Shao’s threat is not the local town, but the imperial guards and generals!

After hearing this, Li Jixun nodded and said yes.

Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: Guo Shao usurped the throne of the son of the late emperor as the general of the imperial guard; the imperial guards dominate, and the military generals still have strong power.If there is a threat to the throne, there is only the imperial guard general.What Guo Shao is focusing on now is probably not the place, but the generals around him.

Li Jixun said: I haven't heard the news yet, and the Zhou court wants to weaken the imperial guards.

Zhao Kuangyin said: I guess that guy (Guo Shao) is already so proud that he might want to take over the Sixteen Prefectures.

Tsk tsk.Li Jixun said, his ambition is really great.

Zhao Kuangyin snorted: I'm just guessing, but what I'm most likely to see is that Guo Shao will find a way to weaken the general of the imperial guards.Being in the throne, can you be assured of those who may replace them?He also had to think about how he usurped the throne.

After talking for a long time, the crowd rode their horses to a pass and saw some soldiers from the Northern Han Dynasty looking at a few people who were busy.

One of the round-bellied men saw Zhao Kuangyin and hurriedly shouted: Lord!Lord!

Li Du is back.Zhao Kuangyin responded.

Li Du said: I have a seal on me, but the people from the Northern Han Dynasty heard that I had a wrong accent and insisted that I was a spy.He was sent here and was waiting for his lord to come and rescue him.

Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward to negotiate with the military general of the Northern Han Dynasty and presented the seal and reported the name.

The military general of the Northern Han Dynasty looked at him and immediately believed it, because Zhao Kuangyin had been the second general of the Imperial Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his reputation was quite good. The Northern Han Army knew that he had come to Jinyang, and his dark appearance was easy to identify.

After getting out for Li Dutou and others, Zhao Kuangyin took him away.

After observing, Li Du's first three were his personal soldiers, and a middle-aged man was a stranger, so he asked: Is this man a craftsman proficient in armor-making?

After hearing this, Li Du's face darkened, and sighed alas, recounting the process of the trip.

How to encounter an accident in Tokyo, how to be surrounded and intercepted; I almost couldn't cross the Yellow River, so I was forced to find a broken boat to cross...

That night, the wind was strong and the waves were strong, and the child was in my hands. I was almost pushed into the river and accidentally dropped the child into the water.The man was anxious, broke free and lay on the side of the boat to catch people, but was also pushed into the river by the waves... The water of the Yellow River was muddy and urgent, and it flooded the person in a blink of an eye!We only have one broken ship, how can we save it?When they reach the other side, the person who fell into the water might have drowned a long time ago and there is no way out.The Zhou army and official officers on the south bank chased each other tightly, and the humble official did not dare to turn back, so he had to rush back.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin's expression in his eyes was very ugly, but his face couldn't change because it was too dark.He kicked the stirrup and immediately said: Now we have another extra account!

Li Du said hurriedly: You deserve to die, you have ruined the lord's affairs... But at that time it was a forced one.

I'm asking you to sneak into Tokyo and slowly look for opportunities.You are fine, I have been there for less than a month!You martial artists are just too impatient.Well... Zhao Kuangyin said, it's not a matter of collapse.Anyway, we have already formed a grudge with Blacksmith Guo, and there are not many more things, and there are not many things.Remember, Blacksmith Guo will never give us a way out!Think about the brothers who stayed in Tokyo that year, what would happen?

Everyone showed sadness on their faces.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin pointed at the man who was being held in the middle and asked: What did you do to bring this person back?

Li Du's head expression almost burst into tears: He works as a handyman in the workshop...

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Dutou seriously: Are you serious about bringing such a person back from thousands of miles away?

Shi Shouxin next to him said: Cut that guy on the spot!

The craftsman named Lu was anxious and said: I have seen armor-making things and know what they look like!

Zhao Kuangyin winked, and a general next to him came forward to ask questions, but he didn't know what to do, and that guy couldn't even recognize the words!
