Chapter 214 214

At the end of February, the imperial court dispatched the king of life, Zhao Heng, led one hundred thousand imperial troops to suppress the rebellion in Shu. At the beginning of March, Guo Xiao’s eyeliner in the capital also sent a secret whistle to spread the war report to Shu. The news of Jianmen Pass will be reached in ten days.

Li Shun, who proclaimed himself the Emperor of Shu, panicked all of a sudden. Although he was in Shu, he also heard about King Shou’s defeat of Liao’s iron cavalry. Even the Khitans could not beat King Shou. His 200,000 civilians were formed. Can the army of China resist the elite bans who have been selected from all over the country and entered Beijing with fast training?

“Third brother, what should we do?” In a hurry, Li Shun forgot his emperor status and became commensurate with the Guo Xiao brothers in the court.

Guo Xiao had long expected that the court would send troops for a day, and there was no panic on his face. When he walked to the center of the hall, Guo Xiao raised his head and said loudly: “The emperor does not need to worry. Shu can only pass through Jianmen Pass. Jianmen Pass occupies natural dangers, with cliffs on both sides, and the front and rear mountain roads can only accommodate two or three people in parallel. It is difficult for the Zhou army to attack on a large scale. The emperor only needs to send five thousand elite soldiers to general the Zhou army. Stay out of the sword gate. Zhou Jun came from a long way, and he will retreat if he can’t attack for a long time.

As soon as this statement came out, some of the newly-appointed officials of the Kingdom of Shu nodded in agreement, but there were also unbelievers, including the emperor Li Shun on the red golden dragon chair, frowning and said: “If the Jianmen Gate is really so powerful, Why was the Emperor Gaozu able to break through Meng Shu?” He believed that the sword gate could block the imperial army for a period of time, so that the imperial court would suffer a bit, but with Meng Shu’s lessons learned, it would be sooner or later that the sword gate was broken.

Guo Xiaosheng was in the house of Jiangmen. He had heard about the big and small wars of Emperor Gaozu’s unification of the Central Plains, and even some of the wars were used by his father as homework to teach him. Therefore, of course Guo Xiao knew the battle and calmly explained: “In the beginning, Meng Shu was defeated. It was because the monarchs and ministers of Meng Shu were indulged in enjoyment and neglect of training. The soldiers did not fight for a long time and suddenly faced enemy attacks. They were in chaos. There were countless soldiers at the sword gate and waterways. The inside and outside were combined, and Zhou Jun was able to drive straight in.”

Li Shun listened and felt even more worried. Emperor Mengshu is a royal inheritance for several generations, and soldiers have been sent out under him. He is a commoner, the real prince came to beat him, and those guards are going to betray him, right?

The new emperor in his early twenties was still a little majestic when he was victorious all the way. At this moment, he was sitting on the dragon chair with sweat all over his body, looking at the privy envoy below, as if he had become the former rural village. Husband, I count on his beloved third brother.

Guo Xiao saw too much of Li Shun’s frustration. He was surprised. After a moment of contemplation, Guo Xiao clasped his fists and asked: “If the emperor can trust him, the minister is willing to lead five thousand soldiers to guard the sword gate to ensure that the emperor sits back and relaxes!” Jianmen Nai enters At the gate of Shu, once the sword gate was lost, the guards in Shu were really not opponents of the imperial imperial army. The sword gate was so important that Guo Xiao was not relieved to arrange others to guard it.

In addition to his dead brother-in-law, Li Shun’s most trusted brother-in-law was followed by Guo Xiao. As soon as he heard the great generals and generals who helped him ascend the throne to guard the sword gate, Li Shun was finally not afraid, and said happily, “Okay. Okay, third brother, go to me…I am most relieved, five thousand is too little, I will give you ten thousand…”

“No, the minister will go to guard the sword gate. The emperor will continue to lead people to besiege Zizhou. Once the emperor conquer Zizhou, please send someone to send the head of the Zizhou defender to the sword gate immediately. The minister will invite the king of life to Cuju.” Above, Guo Xiao was contemptuous and authentic. He was so sure that Li Shun and the other Shu officials became more at ease, and they all cheered for their Secret Envoy.

That night, Li Shun set up a banquet for Guo Xiao and drank with a group of incompetent people. Guo Xiao had no interest. After drinking a few bowls, he pretended to be drunk, and then rode the night back home without stopping. In the early spring of Shu, the evening breeze was cool, with the faint fragrance of peach blossoms. In the carriage, Guo Xiao closed his eyes and did not drink much, but a fire gradually flared in his chest.

Why did Zhao Heng come to Shu? Did he guess that he robbed her to come to Shu, or did he simply want to make contributions?

But no matter what, he would never ask Zhao Heng to succeed, nor would he ask Zhao Heng to take her away again.

The carriage stopped and Guo Xiao opened his eyes quickly. Without waiting for the coachman to help open the curtain, Guo Xiao jumped down and strode to the backyard of the mansion. Under the moonlight, the man walked in backlight, but his eyes were like a wolf in the night. His eyes were glowing with a faint light.

In the backyard, Song Jianing had already fallen asleep. When Guo Xiao returned late, she would turn off the lights early, lest Guo Xiao would see her coming back again when he returned home, which would only increase the danger. But Song Jianing was still asleep, and when she heard movement in the courtyard, Song Jianing woke up suddenly, and subconsciously grasped the quilt.

“grown ups……”

The low salute of the gatekeeper came, and Song Jianing’s heart was cold. He quickly jumped out of bed and put on his coat. Before Guo Xiao stepped into the inner room, he grabbed the scissors that had been hidden under the pillow and put it into his cuffs. Beware, Song Jianing tried to calm his breath, and at the same time, someone knocked on the door.
