Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Jing Niang talked about that, and Guo Shao let her look at Qingxu. In mid-June, the Privy Council came with official documents and transferred the First Army and the Second Army of the Hujie Army under Guo Shao's department back to Tokyo for rectification.

Guo Shao had a premonition that he would be transferred to the Huainan battlefield to participate in the battle. Could these arrangements be influenced by the queen? He was still uneasy, and panicked about the unknown... But the military order still had to be implemented.

At this time, Wang Jing has served as the Jiedu envoy of Qinzhou, and he has been deployed along the western border. He can mobilize the troops in the northwest towns to change defenses. If Guo Shao wanted to move his troops away from Guzhen, a place guarding the throat of the road, he had to wait for Wang Jing to send troops to take over the military stronghold.

So all the soldiers and horses did not move for the time being, but began to prepare for the journey.

Guo Shao's spirit is sluggish. Fortunately, he doesn't need to fight at the moment, otherwise his condition would be extremely bad. The torrential rain has stopped, the weather is hot again, and there are many mosquitoes. That night he slept very uncomfortably on a bed of planks and straw mats.

In the old tile-roofed houses, the air smells a bit like burning straw. It is the dried herbs sent by the peasants, which are said to be able to fume away mosquitoes. Guo Shao thought it was mosquito-repellent incense, but this kind of mosquito-repellent incense seemed to have no obvious effect, and there were still "buzzing" mosquitoes in the ears, which bothered people. There was no mosquito net in the army, and I was bitten all over my hands and feet with red bumps even when I was wearing clothes... Fortunately, I will return to Tokyo soon.

In a daze, Guo Shao suddenly found a person and a woman standing beside the bed, wearing a long dress like pajamas, with disheveled hair. He was shocked and wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't move his hands and feet! That woman looks like my sister, and Queen Fu... neither, she is just a female ghost!

Guo Shao felt that he was quite courageous, but at this moment he found that his hands and feet were weak, and he stared at her with rounded eyes. She said quietly: I'm leaving, I'm here to say goodbye to you.

After only a while, Guo Shao didn't see the person clearly, and he didn't have time to react. The person disappeared, he didn't know where he was, looked up, the door was open, and the smoke was billowing outside the door... It seemed like a thick fog, and it seemed to be filled with some kind of smoke, with a faint blue light. The fog and the light are desolate and cold.

Guo Shao was dizzy, suddenly wanted to sit up, and finally opened his eyes. Suddenly, I realized that I was sweating profusely, and the fog and light in front of my eyes disappeared. What follows is a completely different scene, the roof covered with dusty cobwebs, the old tile roof; the dim light, the light of the fire in the crack of the window, flickering on and off. The annoying sound of mosquitoes "buzzing..." can still be heard in the air, and there is a smell of burnt soot in the nose.

There was no one around him, and he gradually realized that he was really in the strange town of Guzhen, and that he was a passer-by here, and he was about to leave when Wang Jing's soldiers came to defend him.

He thought of it not because he was afraid, but actually felt a little lost. Even if that woman is not a sister, she is Fu's family.

All of a sudden, he gradually felt that it doesn't matter so much if he doesn't marry Second Sister Fu, even if he can't make great achievements... But he couldn't bear to lose Fu Shi's care, even if he didn't even see her face clearly.

In addition to the memories belonging to the "young boy", Guo Shao has seen Fu Shi twice in recent years. The first time was at the blacksmith shop in Tokyo, which was too far away to see clearly; the second time was to escort Fu Shi to Daxiangguo Temple to fulfill her vows. Then she was talking with her back turned in the Buddhist hall. Guo Shao didn't even see her face clearly at that time, and at other times she bowed and saluted and could only look at the ground.

But why am I so obsessed with her concern and care for me?

Guo Shao got up, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, only to see that the sky was dark, the night was empty, and it was not morning yet. Near the fence in the distance, a small group of soldiers was walking slowly, patrolling around the camp of the Chinese army. Torches were placed on the fence, and a pile of firewood was lit in the middle of the open space. It had already burned more than half, revealing the unique shape of charcoal.

There are at least 6,000 people in and around the Guzhen stronghold, and there are many acquaintances he knows in the Xingyuan of the Chinese Army alone. But at this moment the night was so bleak that he felt strangely lonely.

Suddenly a slight noise caught his attention. When Guo Shao looked up, he saw a swallow under the eaves, and then he saw the scissor-like tail of the bird, which should be a swallow. He suddenly felt very strange, he had never seen a swallow here, even in the spring when he just entered the Kingdom of Shu, which should be the season when swallows are common, so why did he see one here? What's more, there are so many people in Guzhen stronghold, what animal hasn't been scared away?

Guo Shao looked at it carefully for a while, and thought to himself: There really is a soul in the world, how did I get on an ancient person without a soul? Is this swallow a human soul?

For a while, he was worried about gains and losses, and felt that he had completely lost his vigor as a general.

All kinds of visions at night, at least in Guo Shao's view, were some kind of mysterious hints, which made him unable to fall asleep that night. He tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and looked around in the shaft for a while, killing the middle of the night. Of course, he was also skeptical about these things, suspecting that it was his cranky thinking caused by his poor mental state recently.

But at noon the next day, Xiang Xun's reply arrived, and it was sent by Xiang Xun's retainers on a special trip.

He counted with his fingers, and it took only half a month from sending the letter to getting a reply. This reply was sent in a hurry, and Guo Shao hurriedly opened the envelope to check it. The whole text is in classical Chinese. People in this era are used to writing things on paper, and Guo Shao can understand them. The key is that there is no punctuation, which seems to be labor-intensive and labor-intensive. The queen is seriously ill? Can't a dozen imperial doctors from Tokyo be saved?

Guo Shao's heart suddenly turned cold, and he hurriedly read the content carefully. Xiang Xun said it carefully in the letter, "Accompanies the driver to go on an expedition, the scorching heat is met with heavy rain, and accumulated worries become sick."

He suddenly remembered the signs from last night. This letter traveled thousands of miles, and it has been at least a few days since it was written; it will take time for Xiang Xun to learn that the queen is seriously ill... Could it be that the queen is dead?

At this time, Jingniang walked into the main room first, and saw Guo Shao's face was pale, as if he had suffered a catastrophe. She glanced at the letter paper in his trembling hand, and asked quickly, "Can I read it?"

Guo Shao sat on the wooden bench in a daze, and Jing Niang still took the letter to read. She reads quickly, and she seems to be much more relaxed than Guo Shao in reading this kind of letter. After seeing it, Jing Niang asked, "Are you worried about the Queen?"

Guo Shao didn't answer, but asked, "Where is Qingxu?"

Jing Niang hurriedly called Qingxu over, Guo Shao's expression was different from before, he was stern and cold. Qingxu put his hands on his flat chest, acting a bit exaggerated, as if frightened, he turned his head and said to Jingniang: "Guo Dushi won't want to eat people!"

Guo Shao asked directly: "How much skill has your master Chen Tuan taught you? Can you save people?"

Qingxu said with an innocent face: "Master is usually busy with himself except for sleeping, and doesn't care about me at all. I haven't learned much, just look at his half-knowledge of alchemy. Besides, we are Taoist priests who practice, not doctors."

Jingniang also frowned and said: "Qingxu is only in his teens, how much can he learn? Chen Tuan is hard to find, but maybe you can go to Huashan to try to find a Taoist in sackcloth."

Guo Shao asked, "Who is the Taoist in sackcloth?"

Jingniang said: "It's the master of Fuyao son Chen Tuan." Qingxu also said almost at the same time: "My master, you have never heard of the Taoist in sackcloth!"

Guo Shao blurted out: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Jingniang said: "Before you didn't tell me what you wanted to do with Fuyaozi, how should I say it?"

Guo Shao's frowning face suddenly gave rise to a little hope, and he immediately got up and said: "Half an hour to prepare, we will set off immediately, and rush to Huashan day and night. Jing Niang, go and prepare the accompanying things, I will call the generals to hand over the military power."

While ordering his own soldiers to beat the drums, and ordered the generals above to go to the Central Army to discuss matters, he took out the military amulets, seals, appointment letters, etc. from his package. When the generals arrived in the hall one after another, he put his own things on the wooden table in front of the case, without any extra words, and said directly: "I have something important to rush back to Tokyo immediately. I now appoint Li Chuyun as the 'temporary leader of the First Army Du Yuhou', and report to the Infantry Division of the Guard Division in the future; the military power of the Tiger Jie Army's First Army and Second Army will be temporarily replaced by General Li Chuyun, and Luo Yanhuan will be the deputy in the formation. Li Chuyun is in charge of everything when the order is transferred back to Beijing. There must be no mistakes, and those who disobey the order can be dealt with by the general who temporarily leads the army!"

After hearing this, Li Chuyun's bearded face seemed to have a red light, but his expression remained serious, and he hurriedly went out with Luo Yanhuan, clasped his fists and said, "The general will wait for your orders!"

The temporary appointment Guo Shao mentioned meant temporary...but he also said that he would report to the Department of Guards, so there is almost no problem with the official appointment of Yuhou, the military capital! Because the First Army’s Du Yuhou had died in battle, there was a vacancy; the battle to attack Shu was swift and fierce, and he won a complete victory.

Li Chuyun used to be just a general under the command of the Jiedu Envoy in a town in the northwest, and within a few months he was directly promoted to the Marquis of Jundu Yu of the regular army of the imperial army: equivalent to the deputy commander of the ace army, the promotion speed is very fast...it can even be said to be extremely rare. Generals who did not participate in the Battle of Gaoping, who had not participated in the battle of "determining the throne", will hardly have the opportunity to rise to the top after the Battle of Gaoping.

"The final general will live up to his mission!" Li Chuyun said.

Guo Shaodao: "For other things, I will definitely show my merits when it is appropriate. I hope you will perform your duties."

All the generals bowed and said: "The last general is waiting to take orders."

Guo Shao threw the seal letter of the soldiers on the official case in the lobby, and asked Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi to prepare horses and marching supplies, and bring seventeen soldiers with him. There was no preparation for this trip at all, and it seemed rushed and hasty.
