Chapter Thirty-Eight: I've Never Seen Such a Brazen Person! (Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
In the territory of the Daimyofu, west of the Yellow River and south of the Yongji Canal, a newly established camp suddenly appeared.
Although this camp is not as hard as the camp of the Song army, it is also deep and high, and it is set up tightly and strongly. In the camp, tall and large watchtowers were also built, and many large and small tents were erected. In the center of the camp, a large circle was also enclosed by vehicles, and more than ten large tents and a temporary stable were encircled inside. Although it is only a temporary camp, it is also well arranged.
The soldiers on patrol were also strict and orderly, and the foot soldiers were arranged in rows, wearing full armor, and the orders were restrained, and they were even more meticulous. The cavalry of the Far Block, who entered and exited the camp, came and went like the wind, but the queue was not chaotic at all. Inside and outside the camp, there is the style of a long-fought elite soldier everywhere.
In the center of this camp, there is a red and black military flag of the Dajin Kingdom, two military trumpet flags, and two generals recognize the flag. The two military trumpet flags are tattooed with the Chinese characters of "Changsheng Army" and "Nanjing Road Han Army" respectively. On the two flags erected side by side, the eldest sons of "Chang Shengjun Guo" and "Privy Council Affairs Liu" are tattooed respectively.
This camp was originally set up by an army of 10,000 led by Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong!
This 10,000-strong army was nominally divided into the Changsheng Army and the Nanjing Lu Han Army, but the Nanjing Road Han Army of the Jin State was actually split from Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng Army. Speaking of which, Zhao Ji, an official family, is really good to Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun! Under the support of the Great Song Dynasty and the territory of Yanshan Prefecture, the number of Chang Sheng's army quickly expanded from the original 8,000 to 50,000, and as many as 300,000 township soldiers in the entire Yanshan Mansion were actually dependent on Guo Yaoshi.
Before Guo Yaoshi rebelled against the Song Dynasty, there were already many civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty who felt that Guo Yaoshi had self-respect for his troops and looked like he was going to be An Lushan, so they all said that they wanted to cut Guo Yaoshi's power. And Zhao Ji wanted Guo Yaoshi to be the king of Yan and guard Yanshan Mansion...... In later generations, some people exonerated Guo Yaoshi, saying that because Pingzhou Zhang Jue was betrayed by the Song Dynasty, it was pure nonsense to make Guo Yaoshi a rabbit and a dead fox. Guo Yaoshi has 350,000 soldiers, of which 50,000 are still elite soldiers, and he also has a strong castle like Yanjing, which is not the same thing as Zhang Jue at all.
If you refer to the situation of the Taiyuan Defense Battle, only three or four thousand Shengjie troops defended a small Taiyuan city (the Taiyuan city of the Song Dynasty was not the one handed down from the Tang Dynasty, but a small city newly built later) for more than 250 days. Guo Yaoshi, who has 350,000 troops and also owns Yanjing Jiancheng, really wants to hold on, and the battle of Yanshan Mansion will inevitably become a war of soldiers and food. As long as the besieging Jin soldiers could not get enough food from Yanshan Mansion, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
However, Guo Yaoshi put a good Song Yan King inappropriately, and knelt down as soon as he turned around. But how could the Jin people believe him, a slave with three surnames? So now that his territory is gone, the Jin people also brought Liu Yanzong, the patriarch of the top gate lord of the Han people of Liao, out to share the military power of Guo Yaoshi.
The Han people of Liao State are different from the Han people of Song State, they are still engaged in gate politics, there are four wealthy families such as Han, Zhao, Ma, and Liu, among which the Ma family lives in Wulu Mountain, Western Liao, and their influence in Yanjing City is slightly weaker than the other three, and the remaining three are Youzhou wealthy families, which are extremely powerful.
Among them, the Han family, that is, Han De, let their family have a too close relationship with the Khitans, and the Jin people have to guard against them. The Zhao family is a transnational noble, the ancestor is the five generations of the great surrender of Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou, these two fathers and sons surrendered to the Liao State after Shi Jingjiao ceded Yanyun, and later Zhao Yanshou entered the Central Plains with the Liao lord, and left a son named Zhao Kuangzan when he ran away. Later, this Zhao Kuangzan surrendered to the Later Han, Later Zhou, and Great Song Dynasty (if you count the Later Tang Dynasty and Khitan, it is a proper five ministers), and also became the founding hero of the Great Song Dynasty and was named the Duke of Weiguo...... Therefore, this Youzhou Zhao family has a copy on both sides of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao, and of course the Dajin Kingdom does not dare to believe them too much.
And Liu Yanzong was the envoy of Lu Longjie in the Tang Dynasty, and the family has been prominent in Yandi for three or four hundred years, and it is the oldest of the four wealthy families of the Han people in Liao, and it has long been developed into intertwined, far from being comparable to Guo Yaoshi, an outsider. Most of the soldiers in Guo Yaoshi's 50,000 victorious army were Yandi Han people, that is, Han people in Nanjing Province, Liao, who had lived under the rule of the Han, Zhao, Ma, Liu and other gate lord clans for generations, and had long been accustomed to obeying these clans.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Yanzong came out, he immediately divided half of Guo Yaoshi's army, and most of the Yan people in the remaining half of the army were also focused on the old Liu family, leaving only more than 8,000 families from Liaodong and Liaoxi who were still loyal to Guo Yaoshi - in the original history, these 8,000 Changsheng troops were slaughtered by the Bodhisattva Prince Wanyan Zongwang not long after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty! Guo Yaoshi and Guo Anguo's father and son lived a few more years with trepidation, Guo Yaoshi may have died of illness in the end, and Guo Anguo stayed up until Yan Liang came to power, and he was beheaded all over the house, which can be regarded as long enough.
And now that he has handed over the territory, handed over half of the army, and has also served as the vanguard of Dajin's southward rush, Guo Yaoshi's department naturally cannot be trusted by the Jin people...... came to the Daimyo's Mansion for a trip, and asked Liu Yanzong to follow, and also left his only son Guo Anguo as a hostage.
Now that the Jin people still need Guo Yaoshi, they are already like this, and if they really want to use it up, they still have to unload the mill and kill the donkey?
Thinking of these, Guo Yaoshi and his group of sworn friends, such as Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou, Liu Shunren, Zhang Linghui and others, were a little remorseful...... If you knew that there was today, it would be better to be the domain town of the Great Song Dynasty!
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world!
Because Da Song saw that it was coming to an end, it seemed that he had no chance to go back if he wanted to defect.
"Alas, I originally thought that this Yun King Zhao Kai would be more domineering than the Great Song Dynasty official family and the useless prince, but I didn't expect it to be a useless thing! It seems that the Great Song Dynasty is hopeless, and Dajin's domination of the world has been a matter of about ten years......"
The person who sighed for the Great Song Dynasty in a big tent was actually Guo Yaoshi, who betrayed the Song Dynasty and returned to the gold not long ago!
He is now having a secret conversation with his daughter, Guo Tiannu, and both father and daughter seem to be preoccupied.
"Daddy, do you think King Yun's method won't work?" Guo Tiannu mentioned the word Yun Wang, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Humph!" Pharmacist Guo snorted, "It's a!" As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty and the marshal of Hebei Soldiers and Horses, he didn't want to serve the country and kill the enemy, but he wholeheartedly wanted to betray the country for glory, and his father had never seen such a brazen person! ”
Is it? Guo Tiannu glanced at her father and said in her heart: Aren't you as brazen as King Yun?
"Could it be that he can't even be Shi Jingjiao?" Guo Tiannu still didn't give up......
"How can he compare with Shi Jingjiao?" Guo Yaoshi said, "Shi Jingjiao was one of the most famous generals under Li Siyuan back then, and even Li Cunqiao praised his bravery. What is Zhao Kai? He has no skills, and he is as timid as a mouse, so he wants to become an official by begging for mercy from the Jin people...... Even if he does, he is just a puppet of the golden man, and he will not last long. ”
Guo Tiannu whispered: "Even if there are ten years of heaven, it is good......"
"You ......" When Pharmacist Guo heard his daughter say this, he already knew that she had already been told by Zhao Kai. So he lowered his face and asked, "What about ten years from now?" You go with him to die? ”
"My daughter may not die in ten years, but even if she dies, she will finally enjoy the supreme glory and wealth...... Guo Tiannu said coldly, "But my father is in such a situation now, and I don't know how many years I can live!" ”
"What do you say?" Pharmacist Guo's face turned pale.
Guo Tiannu said: "Didn't Daddy notice that the Jin man's butcher's knife is getting closer and closer to our necks?" If we can help King Yun become the son emperor of the Jin people, the Jin people will have to use us to support and watch King Yun, and Xu will be able to tolerate us for ten or twenty years......
If there is no emperor like King Yun, the Great Song Dynasty will be finished in three or five years at most, and then our family will have to hide all the birds! ”
Guo Yaoshi was silent, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "We can't do this matter, we have to go and talk to Liu Yanzong..... I have to score a share of oil and water for his family! ”
