Chapter 6: Breaking the Cocoon (II)

This is already a very obvious alliance. With Guo Yunming's intelligence, how can he not tell it? I immediately smiled and bowed and whispered: "Brother Nie is so polite. My juniors, how can I use it to pull a horse and kick it? That's it. I'm missing a personal soldier around me. I don't know if he is willing to surrender. No matter how good the position is, it's not impossible, but I have to wait until I return to Bianliang before I think of a solution!"

Not only did Nie Wenjin be good at fighting, but his ability to be an official is also very good. Knowing that the more Guo Yunming arranged the people he sent around him, the stronger the alliance between the two sides would be. He quickly raised his hand and thanked him, "Just be the head, just be the head! He is a junior, what qualifications are there to pick and pick up?! Thank you, Brother Guo for your help. I have brought the person here today. I'm waiting on the dock, so I'll call him now!"

"I'm working hard!" Guo Yunming smiled and bowed. The corners of his mouth were raised upwards when the other party turned around and left, revealing a touch of contempt from the bottom of his heart.

Deep down in his heart, Guo Yunming actually looked down on a soldier like Nie Wenjin who flattered him everywhere. However, the newcomer promoted by the young emperor Liu Chengyou had to temporarily join forces with the other party to keep warm.

Their common political opponent, the Wu Gushi Minister, was too powerful, so powerful that Liu Chengyou's imperial edict could not be out of the palace gate. Although it took half a year for the young emperor to win over the division and finally successfully tear a crack between the five people. However, the deputy prime minister Su Fengji, who turned to them, was a civil servant, and had no soldiers in his hands. In front of the Privy Councilor Shi Hongzhao, he had no confidence in speaking.

Therefore, it is an urgent task to win over enough military generals for the young emperor in the shortest time. Even if he looks down on Nie Wenjin's character, for the long-term plan, Guo Yunming must pinch his nose and recognize this ally. He also has to pinch his nose to deal with him, including the uncle Li Ye, Feilong Envoy Houzan, Wuying Army commander Han Pu, etc. In Guo Yunming's eyes, these are the flatterers who do not know how to fight but are good at flattering. However, if there are no such flatterers, the words of the little emperor in the court and the army will be even less important. The two evils can only be taken temporarily.

However, after taking the authority back from Wu Guming, Guo Yunming would never allow these beloved people to continue to be in a state of corpse. He had an extremely long-term plan in his mind. In the near future, he would expel Nie Wenjin, Li Ye and others one by one like he did when dealing with Wu Guming Ministers. If these beloved people were not aware of the situation at that time, he would not mind taking some thunderous measures. Anyway, when expelling Wu Guming Ministers, it would definitely cause a certain scale of resentment in the court. With the use of Nie Wenjin and others, he would just pick out the little emperor and himself and become a wise monarch and wise minister for the ages.

"Brother Guo, I've brought you the person! Nie Biao, this is the Uncle Guo I often mention to you!" Nie Wenjin hurried back, leading a man in his forties and bearded, and greeted Guo Yunming from afar.

"Nephew Nie Biao, Nie Zichang, pay homage to Uncle Guo!" The bearded man walked a few steps and bowed his head, not feeling wronged as if he was nearly twice as old as the other party.

"Get up, get up, what an Angzang hero!" Guo Yunming reached out his hand in a grand manner, helped the other party up and smiled and praised, "Since you are willing to do things under my account, Guo will not treat you as an outsider. Do it well and don't disappoint your uncle!"

"Yes!" Nie Biao agreed loudly and bowed again.

Guo Yunming showed a satisfied look, smiled and gave a few more words. Then he ordered someone to prepare a banquet and invited Nie Wen to have a drink with him. The latter knew that there must be someone else waiting to see him off, so he just disturbed him more. He said a few more words and took the initiative to say goodbye.

Sure enough, as soon as he got off the boat, someone handed over a famous post to ask for a visit. Guo Yunming, in his attitude of making good friends, ordered everyone to invite a boat one after another. From noon until the sun set, he finally sent off the last wave of guests. The waterline of the boat also sank for more than half a foot, which is worthy of his hard work!

With the imperial decree, he could not stay at the wharf outside Bianliang City for the night. Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered his subordinates to drive the boat. He only walked for more than ten miles that evening, even if he was ordered to leave Bianliang. He found a special dock for government offices, got off the anchor and rested, and asked his confidant to load the gifts he received to take home. The next day, the golden sail continued to float. He first entered the Yellow River along the waterway, then changed to a larger boat, and headed straight for Chanzhou. (Note 1)

The Deputy Privy Councilor Guo Wei was intimidating the local princes in Chanzhou. Hearing that an imperial edict came from the water, he quickly led his generals and counselors to the dock to welcome him. When Guo Yunming was escorted to the central army tent, he was about to set up an incense table to receive the edict, but the latter waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old general does not need to be polite. Before leaving, His Majesty had given instructions in person. Just hand the imperial edict to your old hand, not putting incense tables or sticking to those red tape!"

"How can this be done? The state has its own laws and the family has its own rules!" Guo Weiwen, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, quickly waved his hand hard. "Please angel..."

"Don't be polite to the veteran general. The junior officer dare not disobey Your Majesty's advice!" Guo Yunming was reluctant to listen and could not wait to interrupt. "If you have to put on the incense table, the junior officer will have to put the imperial edict on the incense table and then run away! Old general, don't let the senior officer be in a dilemma."

"How can this be done? Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and needs to set rules. How can Guo rely on his seniority to be a soldier?!" Although Guo Wei was a general, he had no domineering spirit on his body and insisted on abide by the fixed rules for accepting the orders.

Guo Yunming opened his body and persuaded him again. The two sides argued over and over again, and finally, at the suggestion of other civil and military officials, they each took a step back. Guo Wei continued to put incense cases in the central military tent, and Guo Yunming announced the imperial edict according to normal procedures. However, when the imperial edict was announced, Guo Wei and the civil and military officials under his command could only salute, instead of kneeling and kowtowing at the angel.

After some trouble, the imperial edict was finally read. However, it was ordered Guo Wei to return to Bianliang, add the armored food and grass, and then turn around to attack Li Shouzhen, take back the river, purge Zhao Siwan, Wang Jingchong and others to rebel while the death of the emperor.

Guo Wei had actually received the news from Shi Hongzhao and mastered the content of the imperial edict in advance. However, in front of Guo Yunming, he still looked shocked, widened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Angel, what's going on? Didn't Bai Wenke and others beat Li Shouzhen so hard that they couldn't be curled up? Why should I send Guo to cause trouble? Guo did not disagree with the team, but when Guo left, some people might be ready to move again."

"General Bai and his team have been unable to attack the river for a long time, and they consumed very much food, grass and supplies every day. The prestige of the court has been greatly damaged day by day. Therefore, Your Majesty thought it would be better to cut the mess quickly, wipe out Li Shouzhen and others first, and use their heads to serve as a warning!" Guo Yunming of course could not tell Guo Wei. Gao Xingzhou had already secretly lost to Liu Chengyou and completely gave up his plan to alliance with Fu Yanqing. He smiled and gave a set of rhetoric that had been prepared long ago.

"Then why not let Shi Shumi take action personally. When it comes to leading troops to fight, he is ten times more capable than Guo?" Of course, Guo Wei would not be fooled so easily. He smiled and continued to ask.

Guo Yunming was calm and immediately gave an answer that no one could question: "Before the late emperor went west, he had a lasting order to the emperor. You and Shi Shumi were the pillars of the country, and they could not leave Bianliang at the same time. If you go on a war, you must leave one of them in the court to shock the heroes!"

Before Liu Zhiyuan died, he called Liu Chengyou to his side. What did he tell him privately? Except for the father and son, no third person has known this. So even if Guo Wei didn't believe this statement, he had no way to refute it. He frowned and pondered for a moment, smiled again, and said again: "If this is the case, Guo can return to Bianliang first and let Shi Shumi take his troops to fight. Anyway, any of us can be in charge of Bianliang."

"No, no!" Guo Yunming was so scared that he waved his hand, "Elder General, don't make things difficult for Guo. The other four Gu Ming nodded, and Shi Shumi did not object. If you always keep your troops in Chanzhou and ride alone, it would not be difficult for His Majesty to go back. Just a subordinate, the subordinate became a useless person, and you will never be able to turn over in your life!"

"Huh?" Guo Wei was furious with the words "returning his word". His eyebrows quickly frowned into a knot. However, thinking of Guo Yunming's weight in Liu Chengyou's heart, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's golden words, of course, you cannot easily take back the imperial edict. I did think it simple just now. But there must be a large army in this place of Chanzhou. I led the troops back. If I just left, I will send a warning message from Hebei..."

Guo Yunming smiled indifferently and added softly, "The emperor means to ask Guo to comfort the place by checking the summer grain storage situation. The old general had already added power before, and then the lower officials would give him kindness on behalf of the emperor. The use of both kindness and power may be better than blindly using force!"

Speaking of this, Guo Wei no longer had the possibility of not being ordered to be ordered. His face turned blue and his fingers were hidden behind him, opening and closing.
