Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 236: The arrow is on the string

It was still dark, and there were still a few long night lights on the long street that were still glowing coldly in the wind. It was too early, and there was not even a single pedestrian on the wet street in front of the Guo Mansion. There are classical buildings on both sides of the long street. At this time, the scene looks very deserted and lonely.

Inside the gate, Cao Tai stood in front of the carriage escorted by dozens of cavalry led by Lu Chengyong, turned around and bowed to Guo Shao. Guo Shao replied: Eunuch Cao, we will meet later.

Hope to meet again. Cao Taiqiang said with a smile.

Guo Shao, who was wearing heavy armor, looked into his eyes firmly and said, I will! After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Cao Tai's hand, shaking it vigorously like a handshake.

The resolute movement seemed to transmit a force from the palm of Cao Tai to Cao Tai, causing the eunuch's expression to change slightly. He then got into the carriage and left the mansion under the guard of the cavalry.

Guo Shao watched him go, and when he turned around, there was a kind of fully armed guard standing in front of the horse with lanterns and poking lights behind him. Even Jingniang put on armor, not to mention her heroic appearance in military uniform, very heroic.

Everyone looked at Guo Shao intently. Guo Shao got on his horse and said directly, Let's go.

Out of the gate of the mansion, I saw a large group of horse soldiers coming out from the diagonally opposite side. A group of people gathered together and marched silently along the long street. They headed west first, and then swaggered up the Royal Street, going directly to Suzaku Gate from the widest road in Tokyo.

When we arrived at the military camp on the side of Zhuque Gate, we saw many horses and attendants inside and outside the camp gate, and the generals had arrived ahead of schedule. Guo Shao's method of summoning them was very simple: he sent Zuo You to the barracks of Yang Biao of the Second Army, and then sent the orderer system person who wrote the military order directly to each army to call them. No need for anything, the messengers are the personal soldiers of the generals, just recognize them.

Guo Shao walked into the courtyard of the Second Army Central Army, and saw twenty or thirty generals standing in the hall, which seemed densely packed for a while. Because there are only about half of the troops on duty, the number of generals on duty is less than usual.

Marshal Guo! My lord... Everyone clasped their fists together to salute, and they automatically moved out of the way. Guo Shao nodded, patted the general on the shoulder casually, and stepped up from the middle. Li Chuyun, Yang Biao and others quickly stood by his side.

Up to now, there are only two generals in the left wing who know about it, Li Chuyun and Yang Biao.

Qi Tingxun is not here, he received a letter from Guo Shao last night, and he is going to see the Guo family this morning, and he will be left behind when he arrives. It doesn't matter if you don't go, everyone didn't notice that Qi Tingxun is not here now.

And Yulian and Yang Shi were also sent to Mrs. Chen's new residence last night. Bai Xiangu stayed behind on Guo Shao's mansion, which was almost empty.

Everyone is still a bit noisy, but the generals are not as orderly as the soldiers, and they are still talking in whispers with people they have a good relationship with, just like in a classroom with bad discipline. But soon everyone gradually quieted down, because they finally noticed that Guo Shao hadn't said a word after he came.

My lord... Li Chuyun reminded quietly.

Guo Shao finally said at this time: Yesterday, I received the queen's decree, the token, and the secret order from the Privy Council. The decree is here, please take a look. After speaking, he took out the decree from his arms and passed it on to the soldiers.

The official is seriously ill, everyone must have heard about it. Guo Shao's voice was a little nervous, and suddenly he said harshly, A few days ago, the treacherous official Dou Yi slandered, and the official who was already bedridden vomited half a bowl of blood, unconscious, and dying! At this time, the queen who was supposed to love the soldiers of the imperial army was in charge of the overall situation;

I was born as a general of the queen's family, and I have won the trust of the queen, and everyone in the world knows it! Now I can't even see the queen, I can only get a secret decree and a secret order from the Privy Council. The rise and fall of the Great Zhou has reached the critical point of life and death! Now let the traitors succeed in weakening the national power, let the foreign bandits take advantage of the vacancy, and you will be humbled and bow down to the knees?

Fuck! Damn, what kind of eunuch civil servant... The generals believed Guo Shao's words without even thinking about it, and immediately cursed.

Guo Shao was very satisfied when he saw this, and Li Chuyun expected it to be right, so he raised his arms to signal everyone to be quiet: Are we going to be called to fight against rebellion and support the queen who is dedicated to protecting the soldiers in power? Are we going to follow Yi's order to eliminate threats and defend the country for the queen and the center?

Luo Yanhuan, Liu Zhang, Dong Zunxun and other generals came to their senses and shouted loudly: Just wait for the lord's order! Kill and run in, let those birdmen cry for their fathers and mothers!

Yang Biao suddenly shook a square flag and held it in the middle of the hall. The embroidered pattern of a tiger was suddenly exposed, with fierce teeth and claws, and four large characters were written on it: call for rescue!

Guo Shaodao: The government is in a coma and dying, and the empress and the prince will be in charge of the government soon. What you have done today is a great contribution to rescue and support, and you will surely rise to the top. Your position is not limited to the Tiger Army. Who is unwilling to be called? You can stand up and refute me now.

No one spoke, and a commander said: The commander-in-chief just gives orders! We fight as we fight on the battlefield. We are not afraid of the Wanqi Liao army, but a bunch of traitors?

Very good. Guo Shao nodded, and asked someone to take out a large rough picture hanging on a wooden frame. Looking back at the generals, Now I am starting to deploy various command military affairs.

Guo Shao took out the pamphlet and held it in his hand. He pointed at the map and said, Main passages inside and outside Tokyo. Our troops are currently stationed with a total of 19 commanders. The main goal of the campaign is to quickly enter the front of the imperial city and the Jinxiang Palace! Defend the queen and the center of the Privy Council. After success, there are two goals: first, to control and guard the front gates of the imperial city, and second, to prevent the rebellion of some people in front of the imperial city with ulterior motives.

Guo Shaodao: The Suzaku Gate and the Chongming Gate were originally in the hands of our army. The first commander of the Second Army (Yang Biao) was responsible for guarding the Zhuque Gate; the first commander of the Fifth Army (Li Chuyun) was responsible for guarding the Chongming Gate. They guarded the two gates and waited for the military order. Except for those commanded by the left wing and those specially ordered by the Chinese army, the rest were not allowed to enter the inner city. After the left wing troops passed through, the city gates were immediately closed under martial law.

Decree! The last general has an order!

Guo Shao glanced at the lower head, and said: We captured thousands of war horses from the Liao army, and they were kept in the barracks before they were handed over. After the troops were dispatched, everyone rode quickly and maneuvered, and when they encountered resistance, they dismounted and set up battle formations. Anyone who resisted was killed.

He gradually calmed down, his voice was unhurried and deep and forceful, and the movement of pointing at the big picture became calm: After the generals dismissed from here and returned to the barracks, they immediately assembled all the horses and horses to put on their arms. All mounted horses, regardless of whether they were backwards, entered the inner city from the south gate of the inner city, and assembled in various streets and open spaces inside the Zhuquemen.

Everyone concentrated their attention, and they all echoed after listening: Understood!

Then Guo Shao said calmly: It's not yet dawn, and there should be enough time to reach the designated location before Mao. At Mao, the bells and drums of the city tower rang together, and the commanders of all armies rode out immediately.

All three commanders of the first army; three commanders of the second army except Zhuquemen, immediately marched from Zhuquemen in the south, and marched along the imperial street to Xuandemen in the south of the imperial city. The circumference of the inner city is more than 20 miles, and the imperial street is 2 miles and 100 paces long. A short horseback march of 60 miles for half an hour (one hour) is not very demanding;

After two minutes, the first commander of the first army immediately took control of the guards' office next to the left Yemen of the imperial city, and did not let anyone go. When someone asked, they said that the Hujie army had acted under the order of the privy envoy, and asked them to ask the queen or the privy envoy. If you dare to resist, line up and kill! Five hundred elite soldiers came prepared, and those guards could not be opponents.

Guo Shao also asked the commanders to repeat the military orders, and he was relieved only after the repetition was successful, and then handed over the prepared written military orders to them.

He went on to say, The first army and the rest of the second army turned around and headed east, along the main street to the intersection of Maxing Street and Second Tianshui Street; the military power was handed over to Yang Biao to unify the military order. The direction is mainly to guard against the north and control the traffic arteries in the east...

Guo Shao then assigned detailed military affairs, specific to a certain command stationed at a certain intersection, and asked them to block the road in the form of a dense phalanx. Then there was Commander Yang Biao, who was at the intersection of Maxing Street, who saw the opportunity to reinforce each intersection.

After everyone has finished repeating the military order, send them a written order. Guo Shao said again: All the rest of the troops rode westward to Xihua Gate, and prepared to enter the palace from there. I will send vanguards and internal agents to raid this gate. If it fails, we will tear down the beams and pillars of the nearest house and smash it into the palace gate, set fire to it, and attack the wall with ants.

I will arrive at the Xihua Gate, where the Chinese Army's military orders will be sent and received; after entering the palace, the Chinese Army will set up outside the Jinxiang Hall.

Guo Shao made another deployment to check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and asked the generals to confirm their tasks. After repeating it again, he finally completed the pre-war mobilization. He did not forget to ask the generals to order that the soldiers wear wide strips of cloth (use whatever color you find) on their left arms to mark the difference. The armours of the Zhou army are actually slightly different, but the armor and clothes are very similar. This method is slightly prepared for melee battles... It is not necessary for formation battles.

The world will rise and fall, let's fight here! Guo Shao shouted, May all the generals perform their duties and work hard to succeed! If they fail, all the generals in the left wing will be liquidated by the treacherous and rebel ministers in power afterwards, or they will die without a place to die, or they will never stand up for the rest of their lives!

All the generals said in confusion: I would like to follow the lord's command and fight with all my strength!

Guo Shao said again in a wish-like tone: Success will come soon.

Everyone takes the tiger flag and returns to the barracks. Guo Shao ordered, See you in the imperial city!
