Although Goryeo still had more than 100,000 horses, the capture of Goryeo Xijing by the Liaodong Army also represented the destruction of Goryeo to a large extent.

Cai is still not complacent because of this, let alone slacking off because of this.

After capturing Goryeo Xijing, Cai still immediately took Wang Yan, Yue Fei and Wu Yu as the left, center and right vanguards, and carried out a comprehensive recovery of the northern part of Goryeo from the east, middle and west.

After Wang Yan, Yue Fei, and Wu Jue received Cai Yi's order, they immediately led the front, left, and rear compartments to advance to the northern part of Goryeo in a carpet manner.

On the other hand, Cai still sent Han Shizhong to lead the right wing to recover other areas of Goryeo Xijing, and on the other hand, he personally presided over the liberation of slaves and maids in the Goryeo Xijing area, and the public trial of the powerful, and at the same time was ready to reinforce Wang Yan, Yue Fei, and Wu Yu at any time......

……

On this day, Pharmacist Guo suddenly received an invitation letter from Tong Guan and Cai You, who invited Pharmacist Guo and his generals to meet in Tokyo.

Tong Guan and Cai You's letter said that after seeing the letter, Guo Yaoshi arranged the affairs of the army and immediately left for Bianliang City, Tokyo.

The letter also said that there was a big gift for Pharmacist Guo.

Guo Yaoshi was very excited about this, although he had never been to Tokyo Bianliang City, he knew that Tokyo Bianliang City was the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was the most prosperous, rich, and civilized metropolis in the world today.

When Pharmacist Guo's subordinates heard about this, they asked to go with them.

Pharmacist Guo was very cautious about this, and then he didn't dare to bring more.

In the end, Pharmacist Guo only took Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other four or five generals with him.

From Yanjing to Tokyo, there are about 16,700 miles.

On this road, the terrain is all plains, and the post road is flat and wide, and you can ride horses and gallop.

From the point of view of military defense, except for the Yellow River, which can be used as a dangerous obstacle, there is no other pass on this road.

After crossing the Yellow River, you will soon arrive at the foot of Bianliang Castle in Tokyo.

The road was so smooth that it was beyond Pharmacist Guo's expectations.

Pharmacist Guo also kept this matter in his heart.

After coming to Bianliang City, Tokyo, what Guo Yaoshi didn't expect was that the big gift that Tong Guan and Cai You mentioned in the letter turned out to be a mansion given to him by Zhao Ji.

Pharmacist Guo and his generals were overjoyed.

This is a very beautiful large quadrangle, there are wing rooms on both sides, the main building is divided into the front hall, the back hall and the bedroom, each room is connected into the "work" shape by the corridor, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are like grass, the pond is chiseled to divert water, the stone is the mountain, it is very villa nature.

Owning such a house in a bustling cosmopolitan city is not something that ordinary people can do.

What made Pharmacist Guo and his subordinates smile even more was that there was a large group of flowery concubines in the courtyard, and they gathered around to salute Pharmacist Guo.

Seeing this, Pharmacist Guo hurriedly asked Cai You, "Who are they?" ”

Cai You smiled and said, "They are also given to you by the Holy Heaven." ”

Guo Yaoshi's mansion is located in the south of Longjin Bridge in Zhuquemen Street, and Cai You's mansion is adjacent to it to the east.

That night, Cai You held a banquet in his mansion to entertain Guo Yaoshi and his party, and the guests and hosts of both sides enjoyed themselves.

Actually-

The invitation of Pharmacist Guo to Beijing was arranged by Zhao Ji.

Now that the situation in Yanjing has stabilized, the Great Song Dynasty cannot deploy all its troops in Yanjing, so Zhao Ji is ready to withdraw the Western Army to the northwest region one after another to defend against the invasion of Western Xia.

And if the Great Song Dynasty is like this, it is bound to hand over all the defense of Yandi to Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun.

But Zhao Ji didn't know much about Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun, and he didn't know if Guo Yaoshi could be qualified to defend the Yanshan border.

Zhao Ji may not know that when the Changsheng Army first started to build the army, it was called the "Resentful Army", and it had repeatedly rebelled and had a tradition of rebellion.

Actually-

After Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun returned to the Song Dynasty, they always believed that Zhao Jijun and his ministers would doubt their loyalty, so they tried their best to find an opportunity to show their loyalty - whenever they talked about Yelu Yanxi, they immediately changed their faces and said: "The lord of Liao is our old master, if the old lord is still there, how dare we surrender to the Southern Dynasty?" Because the old lord had fled, and we swore not to submit to the Jurchens, we surrendered to the Southern Dynasty. ”

Zhao Ji heard these rumors and was very worried!

Zhao Ji judged that since Yelu Yanxi was still there, he was still maintaining the heart of Yanyun people, and once he came back from Jiashan, people would run to follow him, and the Changsheng army would also disintegrate.

In order to conduct an in-depth investigation of Pharmacist Guo, observe what kind of person Pharmacist Guo was up close, and thoroughly see the nature and characteristics of Pharmacist Guo, Zhao Ji asked Tong Guan and Cai You to write a letter to Pharmacist Guo, inviting Pharmacist Guo to come to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhao Ji ordered Cai You to be in charge of the reception, and at the same time, ordered other important ministers to take turns to entertain Pharmacist Guo, taking the opportunity to inspect Pharmacist Guo's character and talents, and see if he could reuse Pharmacist Guo.

The banquets were held one after another, and Pharmacist Guo responded cautiously every time.

For example, Pharmacist Guo originally drank a lot of alcohol, but he always excused himself by saying that he was not strong enough to drink, and only took a small sip symbolically and politely, and stopped in moderation.

And if the banquet is held in Yanjing, Guo Yaoshi is really afraid of thousands of cups, and he is full of pride and pride.

But here in Bianliang, Tokyo, Pharmacist Guo didn't dare to do this.

Pharmacist Guo clearly knows that the wine field here is a battlefield, and wine can make things happen or things bad.

Guo Yaoshi's calmness and composure left a good impression on the ministers of the Zhao and Song courts, and they all praised Guo Yaoshi.

When Guo Yaoshi was in Yanjing, he heard Wang Anzhong say that the Jinming Pond in Bianliang City has a very good scenery and is the first in the capital.

Pharmacist Guo found an opportunity to tell Cai You that he wanted to go and see Jin Mingchi.

But Jinming Pond is an imperial garden, and it has passed the date of opening to the public.

According to common sense, Pharmacist Guo can't see Jin Mingchi at this time.

But—

Cai You reported the matter to Zhao Ji and suggested that the Jinming Pool be opened for Pharmacist Guo alone, so as to show additional favor to Pharmacist Guo and win Pharmacist Guo's heart.

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and said, "It's not enough to just open Jinmingchi, but also to perform two acts of water play, let him watch it well." ”

Cai You was overjoyed, and soon returned to Pharmacist Guo's mansion to tell Pharmacist Guo the good news.

Pharmacist Guo was flattered and moved.

On this day, Cai You accompanied Guo Yaoshi out of the city on horseback and went to Jinmingchi.

Jinmyeongchi is located outside Suncheonmen, and is also called "Beyuan", "West Pond", "Jiaochi".

Originally, Jinming Pond was an artificial lake used by Zhou Shizong to train the navy for the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

During the Zhenghe period, Zhao Ji issued an edict to build many pavilions and pavilions here, planted many flowers and trees, and transformed it into a beautiful royal garden.

Every March, the garden is open to the citizens of Tokyo.

At that time, the peach and willow were green, the flowers danced with pink butterflies, and the orioles sang and the green trees were singing, and the scenery was charming. The citizens of Tokyo are fascinated by the city. The most attractive thing is that in those days, water shows were performed almost every day in Jinmingchi, and there were wonderful dragon boat races. Temporary sheds have been set up on the water's edge, and citizens have stopped to watch here.

As soon as you enter the gate of Jinmingchi, the first thing that catches Guo Yaoshi's eye is a giant arch bridge, there is a platform at the head of the bridge, and the five halls are connected.

Cai You and Guo Yaoshi walked up to the arch bridge, and Cai You introduced as he walked: "This bridge is called Xianqiao, and that building is called Baojin Tower, let's go there to watch the water opera performance." ”

They climbed the platform, just sat down, a small boat floated on the water in front of the building, only to hear the sound of drums and whistles from the boat, the music was harmonious, very charming.

Cai You said: "This is called a happy boat. ”

After a while, the music stopped, and another boat came leisurely, with a small colorful building tied to the boat, and three small doors under it, directly facing the water. The music suddenly sounded again, and a small puppet came out of the middle door of the Cailou, dressed in white, holding a fishing rod to fish. The boat went around the circle, and the little puppet caught a live fish, and the little puppet carried the fish into the door. Then, a small puppet came out, with several small white balls spinning in its hands.

Cai You said: "This performance is a water puppet. ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "It's very interesting, Yanjing also performs puppet shows, but it's not on the water." ”

After the boats were gone, two more big boats came, and a swing stood at the stern of the two boats.

At this moment, the music started again, and a man began to swing, suddenly floated into the air, suddenly fell into the water, suddenly somersaulted and returned to the pedal.

Cai You said: "This is called a water swing. ”

Pharmacist Guo praised endlessly: "Yes, yes, this show is very level, I have seen swinging, but I have never seen such a swing on the water." ”

After watching the water opera performance, Cai You and Guo Yaoshi toured the garden for a while, until there was a sporadic light rain in the sky, and they reluctantly left.

After playing in Tokyo for a while, Guo Yaoshi felt that Tokyo Bianliang City was indeed a good place, but it was not suitable for him to live for a long time - he had to be a man with his tail between his legs every day, and he was very uncomfortable, so he wanted to go back to Yanjing.

The next day, Pharmacist Guo went to say goodbye to Cai You.

Cai You asked, "Before leaving, do you want to see the Holy One?" ”

Guo Yaoshi smiled, he felt that Zhao Ji was already kind enough to him, and he didn't dare to ask for anything else, so he said: "I think I want to, but the Holy God has all the opportunities, how can I have time to see a little person like me?" ”

Cai You said: "Don't leave first, I'll go into the palace and ask, you wait for my news." ”

After speaking, Cai You left in a hurry.

Cai You came to the palace, found Zhao Ji, and said, "Pharmacist Guo is preparing to return to Yanjing, and I really want to see Your Majesty before leaving." As a general of the Liao State, if he can be received by His Majesty, he will definitely be overjoyed. When this news is transmitted back to Yanjing, it will also have a good response. ”

Zhao Ji also wanted to inspect Pharmacist Guo in person, so he nodded in agreement.

So, Zhao Ji met with Guo Yaoshi in the Yanchun Hall in the back garden of Yuhua Pavilion.

After seeing Zhao Ji, Guo Yaoshi hurriedly nodded at His Royal Highness, and said with tears in his eyes: "The minister is in Yiyu and hears Emperor Zhao, it is really like being in the sky, I didn't expect to see His Majesty's face with my own eyes today, and the minister died for this, and I am also very proud!" ”

Zhao Ji spoke highly of Guo Yaoshi's ability to understand the righteousness and lead the army back to the Great Song Dynasty, praised him for being both civil and military, and was a rare handsome talent, and entrusted him to guard the land of Yanshan for the Great Song Dynasty.

Suddenly, Zhao Ji changed the topic and said, "In addition, I still want to entrust you with something, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Guo Yaoshi hurriedly replied: "The minister is a captivator, and today he has received the great favor of heaven and earth, and swears allegiance to His Majesty, even if he is willing to follow the soup fire, risk white blades, and break bones." No matter what, the minister will do it with the heart of death. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Yelu Yanxi has not been captured so far, you will arrest him for me, so that the people in the land of Yanshan will no longer have illusions about him, what do you think?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Guo Yaoshi's face changed suddenly, and then he replied: "The lord of Liao is the former lord of the minister, so the lord fled, and the minister surrendered to China." Now, His Majesty asks his ministers to do anything, and the ministers will never give up, but this is the only thing that His Majesty hopes will be handed over to others to do. The minister was loyal to His Majesty, just as the minister was loyal to the old master. If there is a rebellion against the old master, what else can the minister use to be loyal to His Majesty? I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you. ”

After speaking, Pharmacist Guo burst into tears.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji had a complicated mood - on the one hand, he felt that it was very good that Pharmacist Guo was unwilling to turn his back on his old master. On the other hand, he was deeply jealous of this.

In order to further envelop Pharmacist Guo's heart, Zhao Ji untied his beaded robe and rewarded it with a golden basin.

Pharmacist Guo was moved to tears again.

Back at his residence, Pharmacist Guo took out the golden basin and said to several generals: "This is a reward from the emperor, this is not my own strength, everyone has merit, no matter how much, we should share it equally." ”

Pharmacist Guo asked people to find scissors to cut the golden basin, one per capita.

Soon, Zhao Ji issued an edict appointing Guo Yaoshi as the major of the inspection school and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu of Yanshan Mansion in Hebei Province to know Yanshan Mansion.

On this day, Zhao Ji suddenly received a report from Wang Anzhong, saying that Xiao Gan led the army to leave Jianli Mountain, swept around, and had broken through Jizhou, and the situation in Yanjing was critical.

Zhao Ji then ordered Guo Yaoshi to return to Yanjing immediately and organize forces to exterminate Xiao Gan.

After Guo Yaoshi received the order, he hurriedly left Tokyo and galloped north.

Guo Yaoshi's trip to Tokyo made him the first military person in Yandi, and the defense of Yandi and the northern gate of the Great Song Dynasty were completely handed over to him......

……

Recently, the Jin army has been invincible in the northwest battlefield and has completely controlled the situation in the northwest region.

But Wanyan Aguta's body is even weaker, and it can be said that his condition is getting worse, but he still pays close attention to the movements of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Yelu Yanxi, Tatar Zhubu, Xiao Gan, Zhang Jue and other places.

And Wanyan Aguta's most uneasy thing was actually the Liaodong-Goryeo war, and even wanted to send troops to help Goryeo recover.

However, because the current situation of the Jin State was too difficult, the leaders of the various tribes of the Jin State were opposed to the decisive battle of the powerful and difficult Liaodong for the sweat and blood of the Goryeo people, so that although Wanyan Aguta had received a letter of surrender and a request for help from Goryeo, Dajin's army was not able to send it out for a long time.

Just when Wanyan Aguta was considering whether to forcibly push forward the war against Liaodong, news suddenly came back that the Liaodong army had captured Goryeo Seogyong and completely annihilated Goryeo's 100,000 Northwest Army, and was now sweeping through the northern part of Goryeo.

Hearing the news, Wanyan Ah Gu snorted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and then fainted.

After Yan Agu was stunned, the whole Jin Kingdom panicked!

Although the current situation of the Jin State is good, it is still an internal and external trouble, the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Yelu Yanxi, Tatar Zhubu, Xiao Gan, Zhang Jue, and Liaodong, which is about to unify the land of Goryeo, which is not handled well, is enough for Dajin to drink a pot.

At this time, Jin Guotai needs to be a political genius and an excellent leader.

Therefore, all the Jin people don't want to be sick and can't afford to be sick......
