Gao Baorong surrendered, and the Nanping Kingdom perished.

This time, Guo Shao used a trick, first luring the soldiers and civilians of Jiangling Mansion out of the city to meet him in the name of friendship and excuse, and then suddenly seized the city gate while he was unprepared...... In fact, this method was a trick learned from his former enemy Zhao Kuangyin, and Guo Shao found that it was actually very useful.

Zhao Kuangyin fought the Battle of Chuzhou in Huainan and directly broke through Chuzhou, an important town heavily defended by southern **. The method seems a bit absurd, Zhao Kuangyin first lured the defenders to come out to fight, and then shouted that he only killed the defenders, and had nothing to do with the Southern Tang soldiers, and rode alone with the Southern Tang guards to fight and kill the defenders; Taking advantage of the situation, he led the army to easily capture the city gate.

The implementation of that tactic mainly relied on Zhao Kuangyin's personal force and momentum, but Guo Shao studied this battle and found that the key motive for seizing Chuzhou was to seize the opportunity of the defenders' temporary rush to the city and follow the defenders to seize the gate.

So Guo Shao painted the scoop in the same way, modified the strategy, and it really worked in Jingnan. Guo Shao thinks that he is a person who is good at learning, and even if he is an enemy, he always has his special features.

However, the destruction of Nanping Kingdom is really nothing, Guo Shao can't be too happy, and the battle of Shu has just begun.

……

The Zhou army entered the city and ordered the treasury to be sealed and the soldiers to be strictly restrained to avoid unnecessary resistance and bloodshed. No one died before entering Gangneung Province, but the first killing ring was soon opened.

Guo Shao took the generals and the prisoners of Nanping Kingdom to the newly selected Chinese army, looked around, and suddenly asked, "Who is Li Jingwei?" ”

A big man came up from behind and bowed: "The last general is Li Jingwei." ”

Guo Shao said: "Come on, pull it out and cut it." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and the monarchs and ministers who surrendered in Nanping changed their expressions. At this time, several Zhou army men came up, one of them rudely pulled off Li Jingwei's helmet and threw it away, and several people pulled him out of the lobby.

Not long after, the soldier brought in a bloody head and returned that Li Jingwei had been killed. Guo Shao glanced at it, and didn't explain why he killed people, but said to Gao Baorong and the others: "I only killed Li Jingwei, don't worry." If you go to Tokyo another day, you can be rewarded by the imperial court for the merit of surrendering to the land. ”

Gao Baoqiao and the others hurriedly bowed: "General Xie Guo's grace of not killing......"

At this time, Zan Jurun, the provincial envoy of the Eastern Route Army, stepped forward and said: "Come with me, and I will escort you on a certain day." ”

After the captives left, Guo Shao said to the generals: "Strictly order the soldiers not to rob, and now we can't take anything with us, we have to go to Shu." Part of the property obtained from Jingnan this time will be handed over to the state treasury in the future, and the rest will be divided according to the merit when the class teacher returns to the court, which will definitely make everyone feel fair at that time. ”

When the generals heard that Guo Shao actually said in public that the treasury was divided, they were happy for a while, and the lobby was noisy. Someone shouted unscrupulously: "Back then, we laid down Shouzhou and divided the treasury into a fine light, haha......"

Guo Shao said to them, anyway, even if he divides the spoils now, no one will punish him...... He didn't really want to divide up the treasury, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of a way to make the soldiers desperate and restrain them from killing innocents; The right way is that you can't want the horse not to eat grass and the horse to run fast, after all, everyone always wants some benefits.

He said to the generals in a serious manner: "If you indulge the soldiers to rob, whoever grabs it will be whoever, then what good is the desperate people in the battle array? Everyone retained their strength and prepared to enter the city to rob it. Therefore, we can't grab it like that, but should calculate it by the size of the meritorious service on the battle array, so that it is fair...... Whoever loots without permission and confiscates things will be severely punished! ”

Everyone echoed it, and they all felt that it was better to share the spoils in this way. Prime Minister Wang Pu stood aside, his face was very embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything about Guo Shao...... Wang Pu is now appointed as the "Judge of Chengdu Prefecture", and as prime minister, he naturally wants to hand over all the money obtained from the war to the government affairs hall in order to alleviate the tight situation of the state treasury.

Guo Shao wanted to say a few more words of inspiring righteousness, but there was a commotion in the lobby now, and no one cared about any righteousness at all, and they were all looking forward to making a fortune in this battle...... Everyone knows that Shu is rich, and there is still a lot of hope.

So Guo Shao gave up and left the lobby helplessly.

The soldiers cleaned up in the signing room, put things on the table, some drawings and various letter files. Guo Shao picked up the pen and marked the location of Kuizhou.

At this time, he has read a lot of history books and military books, but he feels that he has not learned much, and the ancient books are very vague about the actual battle examples and strategic analysis. Guo Shao pondered it himself and felt that from the Yangtze River to Shu, the important towns were nothing more than two places: Jiangling and Kuizhou. Jiangling guards the periphery of Shudi, as if it is gagged; Kuizhou guards the inner perimeter of Shudi, like a throat...... There are Wushan, Three Gorges, etc. in the middle, and the terrain of the lofty mountains and mountains is only the Yangtze River. Now that the mouth has been torn open, just open the throat.

…… Not long after, Guo Shao remembered Chen Jiali's incident, and even called someone to bring Gao Baoqiao to meet.

Gao Baomiao is a thin man in his thirties, and he was a little panicked and confused when he came in. He didn't seem to understand that Guo Shao wanted to meet him alone, and it stands to reason that even if he met Jingnan alone, it should be Gao Baorong, the lord of the country.

"Meet Guo Dashuai." Gao Bao said.

Guo Shao casually pointed to a chair on the front side of the public case and said, "General Gao, please take a seat." I'm looking for you for a little personal matter, about a month ago, General Gao robbed the 'Shen Chen Li' merchant gang in Jingnan and left a large number of goods in the 'Shen Chen Li' merchant gang, do you remember? ”

Gao Baomiao looked like a contemplative memory.

Seeing this, Guo Shao smiled: "I don't remember it very well...... I heard that the value of that batch of goods is very large, General Gao can forget it, it seems that you have gained such a rich harvest more than once, and you have accumulated a lot......"

"Remember, remember." Gao Bao hurriedly said, "There is such a thing......

Guo Shao said: "There is a proprietor in the 'Shen Chen Li' business gang who has a close friendship with me, can General Gao return the things so that I can ask for favors in front of my friends?" ”

Gao Bao nodded hurriedly and said, "It should be, it should be." Guo Dashuai forgives his sins, I didn't know that those people were related to you before I went down, if you knew, you wouldn't dare to touch Guo Dashuai's things even if you borrowed my leopard guts! ”

Guo Shao said kindly: "Of course I know that General Gao is not a person who robs things when he sees them. How many things have you robbed? ”

Gao Bao hurriedly said: "Can you borrow a pen and write down the general list below?" ”

"Please." Guo Shaodao.

After a long time, Guo Shao picked up a piece of paper that had not dried and looked at it, he was confused. Because he was not a merchant, he did not know the value of these goods, and did not know how much they were written on paper.

Guo Shaogang wanted to ask Gao Baoqiao how much it was worth, but after a little thought, he changed his words and said, "General Gao, I have an ideal to talk to you about." ”

Gao Bao hurriedly said: "Listen to me." ”

Guo Shaodao: "If you think about Li Jingwei today, his head will fall off when he says it, is it still useful to have more money when a person dies?" He glanced at Gao Baomiao, and persuaded him with good words, "Li Jingwei not only lost his head, but his family property will also be confiscated." If I have killed even someone, why should I keep his family's property...... We are all reasonable people, if we can talk about it now, why should I kill General Gao first, and then torture your people to extract confessions and make them confess where you hide your goods? ”

Gao Baoqiao was stunned when he heard this, and his face was very ugly. He couldn't sit still anymore, so he knelt down from his chair and said in a very sad tone: "Guo Dashuai, I really didn't know that the 'Shen Chen Li' merchant gang was your ......"

"I know, General Gao, please get up quickly." Guo Shao stepped forward to support him politely, "I don't want to bully others, but the situation is really forced." If Jingnan is still in the hands of the Gao family, we can bargain on an equal footing; Look at the present...... Jing Nan is completely out of your hands, life and death are in the hands of others, and the negotiation confidence between us is completely different. But I still negotiated with General Gao so politely, do you think I am a very restrained and reasonable person? ”

"Yes, yes...... Gao Baoqiao chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, "Guo Dashuai's words are all avenues. He paused and sighed solemnly, "I suddenly have some understanding. ”

Guo Shao looked at the list in his hand, and he was really not interested in listening to his comprehension, but thinking that Aunt Sun said that the value of the goods was as high as 200,000 yuan, he felt that it was worth talking a few more nonsense. At that moment, he patiently said: "What does General Gao understand?" ”

Gao Bao sighed: "I used to think that the most reliable thing was gold and silver money, but now I suddenly feel that that thing is also unreliable...... Because people's lives are too unreliable, their lives are gone, and no matter how reliable their money is, it is in vain. ”

Guo Shao nodded and said, "It's good as soon as people wake up." ”

Gao Baoqiao immediately rewrote a list.

…… In the afternoon of the same day, Guo Shao handed over the list to Aunt Sun and asked her to take her own people to follow Gao Baomiao to clean up the goods. Aunt Sun specifically asked to see Guo Shao and said, "Things are not quite right. ”

"Do you dare to be less? This guy is really a man who wants money and doesn't want to die. Guo Shao was immediately puzzled.

Aunt Sun said: "No, the concubine is very strange, why did the robbed goods increase?" ”

Guo Shao: "......"

Aunt Sun said: "General Guo has helped a lot, we can't just covet money and disregard integrity, this is extra...... What to do? ”

Guo Shao said quietly: "Since Gao Baoqiao also admits it, you can take it." ”

Aunt Sun took a few steps forward and whispered: "The extra ones, Mrs. Chen will help General Guo sell them for the time being, and the amount of money will be presented to Guo's mansion in the future, and they will be stored with Mrs. Guo for the time being, and General Guo will take it when he wants." ”

"It's fine." Guo Shaogan said with a smile, his interest was actually not much. It's a little strange to think about it, he used to be a person who likes money, but now he doesn't want to be greedy.

Guo Shao suddenly understood why Zhao Kuangyin sealed the treasury and handed it over...... If a person has the opportunity to be rich all over the world, what is the use of greedy for that little personal wealth?
