Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

When they left Fengxiang and returned to Tokyo, the twelfth lunar month was approaching, and winter came as scheduled.

Li Chuyun's family, Yang Luozuo and other relatives have already dispersed, and everyone found the atmosphere of living in Tokyo as soon as they entered the city gate. Compared with other places, there is a relatively good order and familiar environment here. Only Jingniang came back with Guo Shao, because she had lived here for a few days before, and there are still more than a dozen people in the house; this may not be her home, but at least it is a relatively long-term residence.

"Lang Jun!" As soon as he entered the gate, he heard Yulian's voice full of surprises of reunion.

The skin exposed on her oval face and neck became fairer and smoother, and her plump breasts and flexible waist made her look more and more beautiful.

Yulian stepped forward to restrain her enthusiasm and joy, and first bowed her knees to salute in a dignified manner. When Guo Shao supported her, he made a movement that surprised others. He directly pulled Yulian into his arms, and then stretched out his arms to hug her.

"Ah..." Yulian let out a coquettish cry in surprise, and wrapped her hands around the back of Guo Shao's neck, as if she was worried about falling off.

Guo Shao completely ignored Jingniang and the others' surprised eyes, picked up Yulian and walked into the courtyard.

Maybe Yulian has thought about his situation two or three months after he left home many times, maybe she will say some sweet words about her affection, and she will talk about what she saw and heard during the journey... But she shouldn't be able to guess such a situation.

Sometimes Guo Shao is gentle and meticulous towards women, with a keen heart of a shooter, just like the last time when Yulian first entered this mansion to be sad, he was able to comfort her patiently with a dandelion to enlighten her; but sometimes he fully showed his side as a general.

Simple, brutal and direct.

After being outside for too long, he didn't know the taste of tenderness. When he saw Yulian, the first thing he felt was not the feeling of longing, but the desire to have a blast! There was no pretense, not even demeanor.

"I miss you very much." Guo Shao whispered to Yulian in his arms, his voice was hot and hungry.

His powerful arms, the urgency of his strides like the wind, the heat in his voice, the look in his eyes, every detail of every place has that feeling, as if he is about to eat a jade lotus.

Yulian's face was hot, and she had already guessed what he wanted to do. Without any teasing|teasing or ambiguous movements, her body has already softened, and her voice was flustered and soft. She lay in Guo Shao's arms, and she didn't know where to put her hands. She lightly pressed on Guo Shao's strong chest, and whispered: "It's broad daylight, don't be so anxious..."

After a while she said again: "Slow down, you are a bit scary, I will suffer again today."

...

The fatigue of the two-three-month trip and Yulian's tenderness did not make Guo Shao relax. On the contrary, he became more nervous than before when he returned to Tokyo this time. It's not flustered and nervous, nor is it extremely busy all day long, but it shows inexplicably in the usual words and deeds.

It's like the state of being on the verge of a great enemy, and the calmness seems to hide something.

Almost every afternoon, he would stay at home for a long time, but instead of resting, he started practicing archery again.

There is a bluestone path in the back garden, a section of which is relatively straight. Guo Shao put a target on the road, and then stood seventy or eighty steps away with a bow and arrow to practice against the target.

At this time, not to mention that the matter itself is very boring, even the onlookers will find it boring.

Nock the arrow, draw the bow, and stand still at the target, for a long time, repeating this. Occasionally it makes people feel a little more interesting. He will shoot the target continuously with arrows without stopping until the arrows in the quiver run out; the speed is very fast, and a large part of the shots miss the target... But this kind of thing is not frequent. Most of the time he just draws the bow slowly to aim, and does not release an arrow for a long time.

Yulian and Dong Sanmei lived in the back garden, and whenever they had free time, they would watch him do such things repeatedly and tirelessly on the back road. They didn't dare to disturb Guo Shao, but put sugar water, tea and other things in the pavilion, and they could drink when Guo Shao was resting.

The New Year is getting closer, and everywhere is full of festive atmosphere. Guo Shao still ignores anything about the New Year. After he is on duty or receiving guests every day, he just stands on the bluestone path and does that very boring thing.

At this time, besides using soldiers, martial arts are also very useful for high-level military generals; moreover, practicing martial arts will keep people in a good state of being ready to be called. It's hard to boost morale if you don't take the lead. Shi Yanchao often plays forward because he is brave and leads by example. As a martial art used in battle formations, archery is undoubtedly a very advantageous killing method in this era.

Compared with the melee assassination of rushing forward, the use of bows and arrows does not need to risk being besieged, nor does it need to fight desperately with others. Long-distance shooting is very advantageous, as long as it is strong and accurate. It’s just that the training is cumbersome and demanding. Top marksmen usually need to be trained from an early age in order to achieve a favorable musculoskeletal development effect; most people who have been trained as generals from an early age have practiced archery.

Guo Shao often stood on the path with his eyes closed when he was tired from practice. In memory, a sentence from an unknown coach of the Fu family is very clear in Guo Shao's mind: Don't think too much.

This simple sentence made Guo Shao have new insights every time.

Maybe the coach is not trying to keep the boys from using their brains, but to use their brains in the most direct place. Eliminate distracting thoughts, and enter a keen but most direct mode of thinking: when to shoot, when to release the arrow, there is no reason, it is just an intuition, a feeling.

Guo Shao relies on the experience of countless hits and misses to comprehend such timing.

The heart can't be entangled, and there can't be the slightest hesitation. Maybe the top sharpshooter is not necessarily a gentleman, but he must not be a villain. Only a well-understood thought and smooth thinking can bring this simple and rough art to the extreme...just like the art of war.

Frank but does not need too much restraint, does not need any disguise to cover oneself, everything restores the most primitive nature and true temperament.

...

In addition to practicing arrows, he also often stayed in the Hujie army barracks in Nancheng. The number of the first army and the second army was often uneven, but there were always some people stationed there.

In private, Guo Shao still prefers the soldiers of this army. Their characteristics are also simple and direct, bold and wild. No wonder the rulers of later generations will be very afraid of such elite soldiers... Even the emperor can't do whatever he wants them to do; for example, there was a mutiny in the previous dynasty.

Guo Shao personally felt that these soldiers are a double-edged sword, able to fight, but not so docile.

The generals were at their positions, Guo Shao changed the style of those generals in the past, walked between the ranks on foot, staring at the soldiers standing with their legs apart.

Most of the sergeants are strong men with broad shoulders, thick arms but not thick waists. From their body shape to their skin, it can be seen that they are battle-hardened veterans. They obey their generals and are used to forming groups, but they don't have the timidity and humbleness of ordinary people when they meet officials.

Guo Shao stood in front of a soldier, face to face, and straightened the crooked armor on his body. The soldier was a little nervous, but his speech was clumsy, and he stood there without moving or making a sound.

At this time, the soldiers still obey Guo Shao's leadership. The elite soldiers are not completely rebellious, they only obey those who are capable, just like people like Yang Biao. There is a little less warmth in the army, and a little more jungle-like law.

At this moment, the generals in command came up to report the number of people. Guo Shao listened to them calmly, without saying any precepts, and waved directly: "Disband, and garrison according to the military order of the Privy Council a few days ago."

Each army has its commanders and generals at all levels, and the garrison tasks of each ministry cannot be assigned by generals such as Guo Shao. It's okay if Guo Shao doesn't come to inspect, but he still stays in the barracks for a long time, trying to get acquainted with the soldiers as much as possible.

After he waited for the ministries to change their defenses, he stopped interfering with their military affairs at all. Recently, he was sorting out and copying the maps brought back from the customs, a total of 4 maps.

After two or three months of busy work, Guo Shao felt that he could make a memorial and present the topographic map of Qinfeng and Fengzhou, so as to find a sense of presence in the court. At this time, the imperial government was further streamlined and centralized on the basis of the Tang Dynasty, but it had not yet formed a relatively strict system like the Song and Ming Dynasties, and the weight of the Privy Council and the military were the most important part of state affairs... Guo Shao thought that his own map might reach the hands of the emperor or the Privy Envoy.

When Li Chuyun was in Binzhou, a relative of a Jiedu envoy without a military position could file a complaint. Guo Shao felt that he, as a general of the Imperial Army, could file a complaint.

However, this is the first time Guo Shao has submitted a memorial to the emperor, and writing the chapter is a bit urgent. He has been working on this letter for two or three days, and he still hasn't done it neatly.

Not to mention writing words and chapters, even if he reads, he can't quite understand them... He is not blind, and he can read traditional Chinese characters, the key is that there is no punctuation. Damn, these literate people in ancient times are so complicated; if there is a sentence sentence symbol in the chapter book, it is an ink dot, Guo Shao can understand most of the chapters without any pressure, but there is no.

It has been almost five years in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but Guo Shao spent most of his time as a pawn. Books in this era are expensive, and sergeants and pawns do not need to be literate. How can he have the time to study ancient books? Unless there is a good way out in the imperial examination now, and you can study the imperial examination professionally without worrying about food and clothing, then you can study it.

After much deliberation, Guo Shao decided to let Zuo You write it, and then read the similar words by himself, and then copied it... The last letter left in Binzhou without saying goodbye was also written by Zuo You.
