Li Huaiguang never dreamed that he would be betrayed by Zhan Chaogui, two of his subordinates were killed, and he was tied up with five flowers and a rag in his mouth.

He was so angry that he was screaming and his eyes were bursting with rage.

Zhan Chaogui felt a little weak in his heart, but he still shook his head and said: "You don't have to hate me, I am for the sake of the people of Gaoping County, if you hide in Gaoping County, sooner or later you will kill the people of Gaoping County." ”

He no longer gave Li Huaiguang any chance, and ordered: "Put a heavy flail and shackles on him, and put him in a prisoner car!" ”

A government official knocked Li Huaiguang unconscious from behind, and the officials put on heavy shackles, shackles, and carried him into the old car.

The prisoner cart was made of rough wood and placed on a carriage, and Li Huai's head was bald outside the wooden cage, his body was sitting in the wooden cage, and he was wearing a 30-pound heavy flail around his neck, so that he could not move.

Zhan Chaogui took thirty servants and personally escorted Li Huaiguang to Shangdang County........

The Hexi Army camp was stationed outside Shangdang City, and Guo Song was still waiting for Pei Xin's news, but unexpectedly, a soldier came to report, and the Gaoping County Commander escorted Li Huaiguang to the gate of the camp.

This news really surprised Guo Song, he immediately ordered Li Huaiguang to be escorted into the camp, and after a while, Gaoping County ordered Zhan Chaogui to walk into the big tent, bowed down and saluted: "Gaoping County ordered Zhan Chaogui to see Guo Yuanjun!" ”

Guo Song smiled curiously and asked, "How could the Zhan County Order catch Li Huaiguang?" ”

Zhan Chaogui bowed down and said: "Li Huaiguang used the golden cicada to escape from his shell, let his subordinates pretend to be him and escape, leading away the pursuers, while he himself hid in Gaoping County, ready to wait for an opportunity to escape." ”

"Why didn't the Zhan County Order directly hand over Li Huaiguang to the pursuers?"

Zhan Chaochao explained: "As soon as Li Huaiguang came to Gaoping County, he wanted to arrest him, but he had three hundred personal soldiers, and he didn't dare to do it. ”

Guo Song nodded, "This time Zhan County has made a great contribution, I will commend it!" ”

Zhan Chaogui was overjoyed, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "It is an honor to serve the king!" ”

Guo Song smiled and walked out of the tent quickly, Li Huaiguang's prisoner car had already arrived at the door of the big tent, overnight, Li Huaiguang's hair was white, as if he was ten years old, he was actually not young, he was over sixty years old, and he was Guo Ziyi's general at the earliest.

"General Li, don't come unharmed!" Guo Song stepped forward and said with a smile.

Li Huaiguang glanced at Guo Song listlessly, pointed to the cloth in his mouth, Guo Song gave the pro-soldier a look, and the pro-soldier stepped forward to pick up the rag in his mouth.

Li Huaiguang said slowly: "The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, I don't want to say anything, I have long looked down on life and death, I just ask you to leave me a whole corpse." ”

Guo Song nodded and said: "Back then, my family wealth could be transported out of Guanzhong, you gave me a favor, I haven't forgotten, but I won't have the kindness of a woman, you must die, you can leave your whole body, in addition, I can also promise you a request, you think about it and then talk." ”

Li Huaiguang perked up and hurriedly said: "I only ask you to let my children go in the future, I only have this one request." ”

Guo Song nodded slightly, "This request is not excessive, okay!" As long as your children and grandchildren are honest and do their duty, and don't always think about avenging their fathers and so on, I can let them go. ”

"Good! Let me write a suicide note, and ask Guo Yuanjun to give it to my nephew in my hometown. ”

Guo Song turned around and ordered: "Take him to the side account, give him paper and pen, and give him a piece of white silk on the road!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, the soldier came to report: "Enlighten the envoy, he is on his way." ”

"Give him a coffin and bury him in the official grave of Shangdang County!"

The soldiers went to deal with Li Huaiguang's funeral, Guo Song wrote a warrant, stamped it with his big seal, and handed it to Zhan Chaogui: "From now on, you are the governor of Zezhou, and I will appoint another assassin Shi, you go back to appease the people!" ”

Zhan Chaogui was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed to Guo Song, and then resigned to take office.

Marching Sima Jia Qinglong said on the side: "Envoy, Li Huaiguang is probably very trusting of this Zhan Dynasty nobleman to hide in Gaoping County, and he must have betrayed Li Huaiguang for the sake of wealth and wealth." ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "People die for money, birds die for food, how can I not know, but I want everyone to know that as long as you are loyal to me Guo Song, I can not blame the past, no matter what Zhan Chaogui did before, as long as he makes merits, he should be rewarded, if he can do a good job, I will promote him again, I will not consider whether he has been loyal to Li Huaiguang, Li Huaiguang is dead, and there is no point in pursuing these again." ”

Jia Qinglong gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still to make you more far-sighted." ”

Guo Song smiled and accepted the praise very comfortably, and he immediately appointed Jia Qinglong as the assassin of Luzhou, and appointed the judge Gao Nan as the assassin of Zezhou, and arranged the personnel and government affairs, and then he led the army to Puzhou to kill.

There is also the last Puzhou, once Puzhou is captured, the entire Hedong Province will completely fall into his hands.

........

To the west of Sangquan County, Puzhou, a cavalry of fifty men galloped in the wilderness, they were scouts of the Hexi Army, and they were ordered to investigate the epidemic situation in Puzhou.

The leader of this scout team is called Wang Bo, who is extremely capable and competent, and they have been in Puzhou for three days, and now they are going to Hedong County to check on the spot.

Judging from the information they have obtained so far, the epidemic in Sangquan County is almost over, everyone has experience in epidemic prevention, and it has not caused too serious consequences, so I don't know what the situation is in Hedong County now?

They ran through a wood, and at this time, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted, "Captain, Lvshuai Zhang, they are back." ”

Wang Bo took a closer look at the curtain and saw more than a dozen cavalrymen rushing from the south, led by Zhang Jincai, the brigade commander he had sent to Yuxiang County before, and they were going to investigate the enemy situation in Yuxiang County.

In a moment, the two cavalry converged, and Zhang Jincai hugged his fists and said, "See the captain!" ”

"How's the enemy doing?"

"Captain Qiqi, there are still only 3,000 garrisons in Yuxiang County, but I heard that there are 50,000 Zhu Zhu troops in Pujin Guantun."

"What is the epidemic situation in Yuxiang County?"

"It's almost over, and I'm back to normal life."

Wang Bo nodded, "It's the same here in Sangquan County, it's basically over, now look at the epidemic in Hedong City, I guess it's going to be soon!" ”

The crowd quickened their horses and galloped in the direction of Hedong City.......

At this time, Guo Song led an army of 30,000 to Wanquan County, Jiangzhou, which was close to Puzhou and was the bridgehead for attacking Puzhou.

In the big tent, Guo Song stood in front of the map, his eyes were fixed on Pujin Pass, he had received the exact news, Zhu Zhu stationed 50,000 troops in Pujin Pass, Zhu Zhu's target was obviously still Puzhou, but why only 3,000 troops in Puzhou?

"Envoy, I think Zhu Jun is still worried that the epidemic has not retreated." Yao Jin said in a deep voice on the side.

Guo Song shook his head, "It should have nothing to do with the epidemic, if you are afraid of the epidemic, then not a single soldier in Puzhou should be stationed, there is no difference between 3,000 people and 30,000 people stationed in Yuxiang County, he should be hinting to me, hoping that I will let go of Puzhou and leave Puzhou to him." ”

Guo Songgang said this, and a soldier reported outside the door: "Envoy Qiqi, Zhu Zhu has sent a messenger!" ”

Guo Song laughed, "I'm not wrong! He still hopes to surrender without a fight, and let me leave Puzhou to him. ”

Everyone agreed, and Guo Song immediately said: "Please wait for him to the side tent!" ”

........

Zhu Zhu's envoy is called Xu Jian, who is the chief bookkeeper of Zhu Zhu's account, more than thirty years old, and looks gentle and elegant, he came to negotiate with Guo Song on Zhu Jun's order.

Xu Jian sat in the side tent and worried, Guo Song's tens of thousands of troops had already stationed at the gate of Puzhou, as if the arrow had been wound, how could they cancel the plan to attack Puzhou?

At this time, the curtain was lifted, Guo Song walked in, followed by Guo Song's new staff Wen Miao, Wen Miao is only more than 20 years old, is the fifth grandson of Wen Daya, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, ten years ago, he and two brothers Wen Zao, Wen Xun together by Taiyuan people called Wen's three prodigies, are extremely talented.

Wen Miao was recommended by Xue Fan to Guo Song, his father Wen Ji served as the secretary of Taichang Temple in Chengdu, Wen Miao's wife is Xue Fan's eldest daughter, and it is normal for Xue Fan to recommend his son-in-law.

Guo Song happened to lack a master book to help him sort out the papers, so he appointed Wen Miao as the master bookkeeper of the bookkeeper, that is, his confidential secretary.

"Let Master Xu wait for a long time." Guo Song walked in and said with a smile.

Xu Jian hurriedly got up and saluted, "It is Xu Jian's luck to be received by the envoy!" ”
