Chapter 275: Going to the South
In October, Chai Rong planned to attack Houshu. On the second day of the lunar calendar, he appointed Gao Fang, the Minister of Revenue, as the envoy of the southwest water and land control, and Li Yu, the doctor of the Right Zanshan, was appointed as the judge.
On the 17th, Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty sent Feng Yanlu, General Xu Wenzhen, General Bian Hao, General of Qianniu Guard, and Zhou Tinggou, who sent him to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing was abandoned and no longer appointed because Xu Wenzhen and others were all prisoners who defeated the war.
Gao Baorong of Jingnan wrote to the Lord of Later Shu again, urging him to surrender to the Later Zhou Dynasty. The Lord of Later Shu summoned generals and ministers to discuss the matter.
Li Hao said: "Of course, he is the shame of the king's father, and against him, the Zhou army will definitely arrive. Can the generals resist the Zhou army?"
The generals said: "Relying on Your Majesty's wiseness and the country's dangers, how can you surrender? Prepare for a long time to prepare for war, and we are asking to use our lives to defend the country!"
On October 21, Meng Chang ordered Li Hao to draft a reply letter, and generously refused to persuade him to surrender.
Chai Rong was a little angry when Hou Shu refused to surrender. At this time, Guo Hao was staying with his wife at home. After several months of hard work, the belly of the two wives finally improved.
Upon hearing this news, both of them were worried that Guo Hao would go on the battle again. Guo Haohun said indifferently: "Don't worry, I have told His Majesty that I will not go this time. The soldiers have grown up and they have to give them a chance."
The two were very happy to hear this. Li Fu said, "Dad has heard that the Huainan Beggars' Sect has returned and all trade routes have been restored. Since your husband does not go out to fight, let's go to Jiangnan to have a look. Dad will receive us."
When he heard that he was going to Jiangnan, Guo Yongning jumped up happily. Now Xiao Yanhan is already three years old, but Guo Yongning is still like a little girl.
"It's okay to go to Jiangnan. That kid Li Yu became the prince. I don't know if he hates me. To be honest, I really don't dare to see him."
"My husband is an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He led troops to fight for the country. They drove his husband back to the Central Plains from Jiangnan, and only after a lifetime of death can he be today.
Although Li Yu is now the crown prince of the Tang Kingdom, I heard that his temperament has not changed much. Besides, the Southern Tang Dynasty is now a vassal state of Great Zhou, so I don’t believe that they dare to make things difficult for the Duke of Great Zhou!”
No wonder Ang Lee doesn't like Guo Yongning. After so long, Guo Yongning is still the same as before, but Li Fu has a majesty. Of course, this is also inseparable from Ang Lee's education.
"Okay, since you want to go, let's go out for a walk. I'll ask for leave now, let's go as soon as possible!"
"Very good!"
When the two girls saw Guo Hao agree, they excitedly held their hands together. After three years of separation, although Guo Hao occasionally took time to come back, they couldn't live for a few days.
Now that they are going to travel, there are no outsiders disturbing them along the way. Their biggest wish now is to be with Guo Hao.
Of course, there are two daughters. The eldest daughter, Yang Mei, is eight years old this year, and she doesn't know who her personality is. Anyway, she is so naughty.
When he heard that Guo Hao was going south, Chai Rong did not make things difficult for him. He agreed happily and found him privately and asked him to investigate Chai Zongyi's affairs.
Guo Hao agreed seriously, and he also felt that Chai Zongyi's disappearance was very suspicious, but what he didn't know was that Li Hui also knew the inside story of this matter, and Ang Lee refused to tell him.
"Entertainment Father, if you do this, wouldn't it be a pity for the young master to be injustice?"
Li Hui is Guo Hao's confidant and is very capable. In order to win over the hearts of the people, Ang Lee regarded her as her adopted son.
"What do you know? I am Hao'er's father-in-law. Would I betray him? He asked the assassin of Tang State to abduct Chai Zongyi. Now Tang State wants to let him go back, I just did what he dare not do!
You are his confidant, you must be clear about some things. Haoer is your master and the hope for our Beggars' Sect's future!
Guo Rong asked Chai Zongyi to lead the Beggars’ Sect. Are you willing to hand over the Beggars’ Sect to others? Only when Haoer has a stable position can our Beggars’ Sect rest assured!
I can't say anything more, just be clear in your heart. Hao'er likes you, which means you are a smart person, and his personality is still a little soft, so we have to help him!"
Li Hui was silent when he heard this. Ang Lee was right. He followed Guo Hao wholeheartedly. He just wanted to make a future. He vaguely guessed what Ang Lee wanted to do, but this matter was too sensitive, and he would die if he said it!
When Guo Hao and his family were on a trip, Ang Lee naturally wanted to follow him, but in fact he didn't notice that there was another new person in the crowd.
"Brother Li, where are you going for this trip?"
"Hey, this is not the boredom of two ladies staying at home. I want to go to Jiangnan to have fun. Brother Wang, among us, our martial arts are not the same. You should keep an eye on it when you go out this time. There are too many people and I am afraid that I can't take care of myself!"
Li Hui said that, patted Wang Wei on the shoulder. Wang Wei agreed with a smile, but when Li Hui left, the smile on Wang Wei's face gradually disappeared.
Going to Jiangnan?
Then won't he have a chance?
In recent years, Wang Wei has been lurking near the Guo Mansion, but Guo Hao is in the army for most of the time, so Wang Wei has no chance at all.
Later, he simply joined the Beggars' Sect. Because of his outstanding martial arts, Li Hui discovered by chance. When he saw that it was the thief, he couldn't help but feel a little bitched in the hero.
After the two got along, Li Hui found that Wang Wei was not bad. He was usually taciturn but very reliable in doing things. After a while, Li Hui asked him to be his deputy when they got along.
Guo Hao also knew about this. After three years of investigation, Wang Wei was not abnormal, so he felt at ease to use him, but he didn't know that Wang Wei was waiting for him to rebel!
However, Guo Hao led his troops for three years, but there was no sign of rebellion. Some of Guo Hao's behaviors made him very confused. Now Wang Wei doesn't know what Guo Hao is going to do.
The destination of this trip was Hangzhou. Chen Lin was afraid of being implicated at the beginning of the war, so he returned to his hometown in Hangzhou.
So Guo Hao also has a place to settle down when he arrived in Jiangnan, but I don’t know if the hut he and Qiunan were still there.
The group set off, Guo Hao brought hundreds of guards, and the Duke's posture was undoubtedly revealed. A double-horse carriage had shock-absorbing springs installed under it. This was what he specially prepared for. There was only one in the world.
Lying in the carriage, the bumps were indeed much lessened. If it weren't for this carriage, Guo Hao wouldn't have taken the two of them around, after all, they were pregnant.
The team was walking on the official road, Li Hui and Wang Wei protected the team one after another. Wang Wei's eyes kept looking at the carriage, feeling shocked and suspicious.
"Now that the Tang Dynasty has been defeated, His Majesty has surrendered. If I kill Guo Hao, I will not have a place to settle down when I go back.
But if I don’t kill him, wouldn’t I be in vain for the past three years? Guo Hao, Guo Hao, what are you going to do? I still can’t see through you for three years!"
Wang Wei was a little confused and suddenly lost his life goal, which made him very uncomfortable.
No one knew that someone was so tolerant. The general who sent him to assassinate Guo Hao was killed in battle. Now no one knew his existence. Even if he didn't go back, no one said he was treasonous.
Guo Hao and his group were playing while walking, playing while walking, so happy...
...
In Chengdu Prefecture, a grand mansion, a woman got off the carriage and walked directly into the mansion.
"Minister Kong Mingyue, pay homage to Lord Wang!"
Above the main seat, a middle-aged man, wearing a turban and a crane cloak, holding Tie Ruyi in his hand, looked up at Kong Mingyue.
"You're here."
"yes."
"Why didn't your father come?"
"My father was not in good health, so he asked his little girl to come. If you have any questions, please give me instructions. Now the little girl will take care of the matters of the Salt Gang."
Wang Zhaoyuan looked at Kong Mingyue and said, "Do you know that State Zhou intends to attack our State of Shu?"
"This... the little girl doesn't know."
"Hmph, your salt gang traveled around the world, what do you know? The prince of Zhou was missing in Hezhou. The emperor of Zhou wanted to send troops to attack our country on this ground.
Since you are the one who decides the Salt Gang now, then you can investigate clearly at this time. Who harmed the Prince of Zhou? Our Shu Kingdom cannot be in vain!”
"this……"
Wang Zhaoyuan's request was indeed a bit difficult for others, but looking at Shu Kingdom, the officials indulged in pleasure, and there were only a few people doing things.
Wang Zhaoyuan was proud of his talent and often compared himself to Zhuge Liang. His outfit is much more authentic than Guo Hao's. This time he found the Salt Gang just to retreat to the Zhou army with one person.
Little did they know that if Chai Rong wanted to hit them, how could he listen to their explanation?
"What? Can't do it?"
