Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

When he first entered the big tent, Guo Shao could watch the superiors from a distance, but he knew that it would be very rude to look directly at the emperor once he got close.

There is a man and a woman sitting in the upper position. The man must be an official, and only he can sit facing south on this occasion. Guo Shao has good eyesight, and can see clearly even from a distance... In his impression, the two emperors of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei and Chai Rong, were both wise and good emperors, but when he saw Chai Rong with his own eyes, he was slightly disappointed.

The officials did not wear yellow dragon robes or armor, but a purple round-neck official robe and a lacquered gauze hat with long wings. At first glance, it doesn't look like an emperor's attire, but more like the kind of official sitting in the lobby. No wonder everyone doesn't like to be called the emperor, but often called "official family". Is it because of this reason?

Chai Rong looked very old. The emperor should be in his early thirties, and he looked like a man in his forties or fifties. He was not very straight, with a bowed back and a thick and short neck. At first glance, the big eyes and facial features can be regarded as correct, but the bags under the eyes are heavy, the spirit is not very good, and the complexion is a bit weak; it may be the reason for the frequent expeditions, and the face is quite weathered.

Sitting next to him was Empress Fu, and the two of them sat side by side in public, not like a husband and wife, but like a father and daughter. Empress Fu is really very beautiful, her skin is carved like jade, she is wearing a large and tight brocade robe, which covers her figure tightly; the old-fashioned robe, white and tender face, really feel a bit abrupt, like a bright jade bead in an old-fashioned box. The outline of her face is very round, but her chin is a bit pointed... Modern people think this kind of chin is very delicate, but according to the ancients, a woman's pointed chin is a small defect.

Guo Shao took a few steps forward, did not dare to get too close, immediately knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and looked at the ground and said: "My minister Guo Shao kowtowed to the emperor and empress, wishing the emperor and empress good health and longevity!"

He really didn't know if it was proper to say it like this, but it seems that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms didn't pay much attention to etiquette such as three knocks and nine bows. I am a military general, and the emperor is the commander in chief. It should be reasonable to meet with the highest level of military salute, kneeling on one knee, right?

"Pingshen." Chai Rong just said a word. Then let the people around him commend Guo Shao for his three meritorious service in public, and they are not stingy with the words of praise. There is a purpose of promotion.

Then Chai Rong issued an order to reward Guo Shao with a silver belt, a brocade robe, twelve gold ingots, and twelve silver ingots.

Guo Shao hurriedly thanked him.

At this time, a crisp and soft voice said: "Guo Yuhou, the officials have treated you well, don't let the emperor down."

Just one sentence immediately caused Guo Shao's impression of Empress Fu to change greatly. She speaks so decently and generously, and she can say it in front of all the civil and military... But Guo Shaoyi contacted the high-ranking Zhang Yongde who took care of him inexplicably, and Xiang Xun talked about Empress Fu speaking for him in front of the officials.

In my memory, the former "young man" named Guo Shao liked Empress Fu so much that he was willing to die for her. Guo Shao used to think that he was a little naive, but now he finally understands that it is reasonable for the young man to like this woman so much. Not only the young man, but even Xiang Xun and all the soldiers of Dazhou respect Queen Fu... This kind of respect may be the same as treating my sister and mother, because Queen Fu can really make people feel sincere love.

Is it this kind of bearing that the mother looks like the world?

Guo Shao was a little nervous, but also a little excited, and blurted out: "I am willing to be a guard of the emperor and queen, and I am always ready to repay the great kindness with my life."

Why do you say that... because he thought that the inner hall was actually a guard force of the emperor.

But at this time, from the corner of his eyes, he vaguely felt Empress Fu's willow leaf eyebrows raised slightly, and Guo Shao remembered: he had indeed served as a guard of the Fu family before, and not only once, he followed from Wei Wang's mansion to Li Shouzhen's mansion to find ways to guard her.

Chai Rong nodded slightly, and some officials took out the silver belt and brocade robe, and asked Guo Shao to put on the brocade robe on the spot to show his grace.

Guo Shao kowtowed and kowtowed again, and walked backwards to stand in the ranks of generals.

A few generals came to accept the reward one after another, and then everyone dispersed. Those who were rewarded by the emperor were given things by special officials, and sent people to carry things and escort them back to the camp.

Guo Shao came back and saw that all the soldiers of his family were waiting at the gate of the camp. Seeing Guo Shao come back with a box of things and wearing a brocade robe, they all cheered and jumped for joy.

All the soldiers who participated in the battle were rewarded, but there were too many people, and the low-level generals could only be rewarded with dozens of coins, and the soldiers were even less. This kind of extra reward is also a lot of wealth for ordinary families, not too small.

Especially Yang Biao, who was so fierce in the battle, rushed forward to fight him to death, and Guo Shao went to the honor of being awarded by the emperor himself. For a while, Guo Shao felt a little unfair... Although everyone thought it was fair, after all, it was not ordinary people who could be appreciated by high-ranking people, nor was it someone else who defeated the fierce generals of the Northern Han Dynasty.

When Guo Shao entered the barracks, he opened the box without saying a word, and the inside immediately glowed yellow and white, and everyone fell silent.

"Zuo You, you split it up, split it equally, and the generals will get double." Guo Shao didn't say anything nice, just said something like that.

Luo Mengzi rubbed his head: "Everyone has been rewarded, so share the big brother's money, isn't it? The money seems to be a lot, so there are so many people, and if you share the big brother's money, it won't be much."

Guo Shao ignored Luo Mengzi, and said again: "I am the Marquis of the Inner Palace Zhidu, and I have certain powers. First, let's see who the commander is... You will be my personal soldiers for the time being. There is a vacancy in the Inner Palace. Try to fight for you."

Yang Biao immediately said: "Our brother will follow the eldest brother, it is not good to separate."

Luo Mengzi said: "It's not bad to be an official...it doesn't affect the brotherhood!"

Hearing this, Guo Shao felt that Xindao and Xindao's insight and judgment could be judged on the basis of one sentence. Yang Biao was far-sighted. He must have thought that the elder brother was not only the prince of the inner palace.

At this moment, someone muttered: "Zuo You won't be greedy for everyone's money, let's pay more for your share..."

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Zuo You after hearing this, Zuo You smiled and said nothing. Guo Shao then laughed and said, "Mr. Zuo wants to follow me to do bigger things, he doesn't like this kind of money." Zuo You immediately gave him an approving look, as if he wanted Guo Shao to be his confidant.

After hearing this, everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and suddenly they were very happy.

But soon Guo Shao said something that affected the joyful atmosphere: "Mr. Zuo, the seven people who died in Wujun Town and the three people who died in Xinkou will be counted as one share, and the brothers who died are also brothers. You have a list of military registrations. Find someone to ask where their family members are. I will leave this matter to you."

The laughter soon subsided, and everyone was silent, but no one objected. Yang Biao stared round and said: "Everyone may die for the money of hard work! Big brother is right and thoughtful!"

Guo Shao explained the matter here, and wanted to meet the chief of the inner palace first. He rose too fast, his foundation was really shallow, his eyes were darkened, and he didn't know who the generals of the Inner Palace were; he first found the official who gave him the reward, and after asking, he found out that Wang Shenqi, the commander of the Inner Palace, was the chief general.

So he rushed to visit the pier, first asked to see Wang Shenqi, and said hello first when he took office. Because it was getting late at this time, I didn't dare to talk too much, I came out after getting to know each other face to face, and only said that the future will be long.

... Early the next morning, the army set off to continue marching. After walking forty miles for a whole day, everyone entered Tokyo through Chenqiao Gate when the sun was setting.

Even though it was late at night, the streets of Tokyo were still very lively. The people watching the excitement, looking forward to the family members of their loved ones, the scene was as lively as during the expedition. However, on this day, I am afraid that some families will be happy and some will be sad. People will die in the war. After the families of the soldiers who died in battle confirm the news, it may not be so easy...the family members have no bones left.

The horse leather shroud on the battlefield is not just talking, it is good to dig a pit and bury the corpse in a battle thousands of miles away. If it is too late to collect the corpse after the defeat, it is normal for the corpse to be exposed to the wilderness for many days.
