Chapter 312: Righteousness

"Hahaha......" Guo Shao walked up to the point platform on a small hillside where Li Chongjin entered the Chinese army, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. There were thousands of troops and horses around, and shouts came and went.

A military general came up immediately, turned over and dismounted impatiently, and said: "I caught Li Chongjin, alive!" ”

Guo Shao immediately said: "Bring it forward." He asked the generals who followed him: "Where are Li Jixun and Zhao Kuangyin?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one could answer.

Li Chongjin's arms were tied behind his back, and he was pressed by two big men, and under the escort of a team of soldiers, he was driven over with a limp. Guo Shao saw that there was a chair on the earthen platform, so he sat down with a swagger, pointed at Li Chongjin and shouted: "Today's battle, half a day will make your whole army defeated, do you accept it?" ”

"Forbidden soldiers rely on the strong to bully the weak, victory and defeat are commonplace, it is useless to talk too much, and if you want to kill, you will kill!" Li Chongjin raised his head and hummed.

Guo Shao was completely relieved at this time, and he was in a very good mood, and he didn't really want to kill Li Chongjin for a while.

"In the battle of Huainan back then, you swore a curse, if I captured Shouzhou, you would fry the fish for me to eat, did Shouzhou capture?" Guo Shao said with a smile, "Today you are defeated in my hands again, it seems that you really got to catch a fish in Fenshui, try to fry the fish in your palm." ”

Li Chongjin said angrily: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, I am the nephew of Taizu, hurry up and give it a break!" ”

Seeing that he didn't give in, Guo Shao touched the back of his head and said in a deep voice: "You are a relative of the emperor...... In fact, admitting a mistake may forgive you, and even your family will not be persecuted. ”

Li Chongjin suddenly raised his head and laughed.

The generals behind him were furious, and pressed a palm on his shoulder, and his knee was pushed in front of him. Li Chongjin fell to his knees with a painful cry, and the military general stepped forward and grabbed his hair bun and kowtowed to the ground.

Seeing this, a large number of soldiers below immediately shouted: "Long live...... Hooray......"

When Guo Shao heard that this was not the emperor's personal conquest, the age of ten thousand farts. Then he got up and walked off the wooden platform.

…… In Taiyuan Mansion, Liu Jun was shocked when he heard the news of Li Jixun and Li Chongjin's successive annihilations within a few days. Later, it was confirmed that the Zhou army had only 20,000 people in the north of Jinju, so he felt a little at ease.

Liu Jun pondered that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty had just died, and the Zhou army must have just wanted to deal with the rebellion, and would not rush to start a war with the outside world, so he calmed down.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's recital somehow arrived in front of Liu Jun's case.

Zhao Kuangyin wrote: In front of the palace of the Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shao was the queen mother's general, and the queen mother relied on this person to lead the forbidden army, as long as he defeated it, the Zhou Dynasty could be chaotic without a fight, and win the opportunity for His Majesty to enter the Central Plains.

Guo Shao's army had only 20,000 men, and he was running thousands of miles and fighting continuously, and at this time he was exhausted by his troops and horses, and was dragged down by a large number of prisoners and captured baggage. Your Majesty can send an elite army to test the attack, if you can win, it will be a great plan, and you can step on Guo Shao's reputation and make the world fear Your Majesty; If it is not victorious, the Zhou army will not be able to counterattack deeply, and His Majesty will be invincible.

Zhao Kuangyin also took the initiative to ask Ying to give him a fine horseman, who was originally a striker.

The moment Liu Jungang, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, saw this book, he was really moved. The reputation of "stepping on Guo Shao's consecutive defeats of Erli" is famous all over the world, which is indeed very tempting for Liu Jun...... In this world, the awe of others and the fear of not daring to rebel easily, and their prestige is based on the military exploits that can be fought; It is very beneficial to maintain the rule. I think that Chai Rong of the Zhou Dynasty was also unstable at the beginning, and after winning two games, who would dare to rebel again?

But Liu Jun thought about the two Lis, who claimed to be 100,000, and couldn't defeat the forbidden army of the Zhou Dynasty, so they were defeated so quickly...... He was a little afraid in his heart, afraid that the powerful Zhou Dynasty would find him to settle accounts after he didn't win. Moreover, Liu Jundeng has no son in his thirties, and he can only let his adopted son Xue Jien become the crown prince after changing his surname, and he has little motivation; Secondly, Liao Guo can't support it now, he just wants to stick to the foundation of Taiyuan.

The most important thing is that Liu Jun is not the founding emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, he is not very enterprising, he just wants to keep what he has gotten.

Thinking backwards, Liu Jun looked back at the minister and said: "Zhao Kuangyin is for personal revenge and wants to drag me into the water!" ”

The ministers hurriedly said that His Majesty had insight into the situation, was wise and martial, and sent people to supervise Fenzhou to defend the city.

……

The good news of the fall of Erli was sent to Tokyo quickly, and at this time, Li Yun of Luzhou also learned the news.

"The two thieves are vulnerable, thousands of miles away, they were destroyed by the forbidden army in half a month." Li Yun looked back left and right. Because of the cold weather, the doors and windows of this hall were tightly covered by thick curtains, and the light inside was dim, and the charcoal fire in the middle was extra bright.

The staff who advised Li Yun not to raise troops a month ago suddenly said complacently: "The lord is wise, fortunately he did not join the two thieves, otherwise the situation is dangerous now." ”

The staff may have wanted Li Yun to praise him for coming up with a good idea, but Li Yun snorted and said nothing.

The staff member said again: "Today's Queen Mother has a magnanimity, the forbidden army Guo Shao is very fierce in battle, and Da Zhou is by no means weakened by what happened a while ago. The lord should conform to the general trend, and the most important thing at the moment is to urge the marriage with the Fu family to be completed as soon as possible; After marrying the Fu family, the lord should try his best to gain the trust of the nouveau riche of the imperial court in order to stay in Hedong for a long time. ”

Li Yun said slowly: "You only care about weighing the pros and cons, but you never care about the righteousness. Taizu is kind to me, and the first emperor treats me well, I should be grateful for it! Now the Empress Dowager raises the new monarch as a regent, and still serves the Great Zhou as the right one, and I have never thought of rebelling...... And where does the word 'lucky' come from? ”.

When the civil and military people heard this, they all felt ashamed, and they bowed one after another: "The lord is loyal and righteous, and he is also a good general of the Great Zhou." ”

Li Yun flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and walked through the door inside. There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and some people praised the lord's loyalty and righteousness first, otherwise now everyone has become a chaotic minister and thief who washes their necks and waits to be killed.

A few days later, the fine cavalry sent to Jinzhou returned to Luzhou and reported the situation to Li Yun, and Guo Shaobu had returned to Jinzhou from the Northern Han Territory.

"So fast? The Northern Han Army didn't even move! Li Yun scolded and said to his son Li Shoujie, "Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, is a person who sits back and enjoys his success, has no guts, and is unreliable. ”

Li Shoujie asked: "My father didn't raise troops because the Northern Han army didn't move?" ”

"These civil and military forces in Luzhou don't have much thought." Li Yun said coldly, he was not too happy. originally wanted to see what would become of Er Li and Guo Shao's rivalry, but Er Li was defeated really quickly, far exceeding his expectations.

Li Shoujie listened to it as if he had an understanding, nodded lightly and said yes, and listened carefully to his father's teachings.

Li Yun glanced at him: "As soon as Tokyo relaxes, it may order us to move the town, and then slowly weaken my strength." We have to grasp the righteousness, if the court takes the loyal ministers, we have to think about what the people of the world will judge...... At the moment, it is not a problem for our family to be rich. ”

……

Guo Shao went to Jinju, and there were more troops under his command than his own men.

He inspected the prisoner camp, and when he came to a place, he found that the men inside were in tattered clothes, without a piece of armor, and their weapons had already been confiscated...... There were even some women. Guo Shao asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

Those people were afraid of officials, and they all bowed their heads and hunched their backs. Guo Shao dismounted and walked to a man, grabbed his hand, and broke the calloon on his palm. The man "plopped" and fell to his knees, too frightened to move.

Professional soldiers and farmers generally have calluses on their hands, but in different positions. Guo Shao looked at it and said, "You are a farmer." ”

The man finally spoke: "I am from Huaizhou, ploughing the fields and eating food." ”

Guo Shao called Zuo You and said, "You take your own soldiers to count the people here, and one of the men will give them fifty catties of grain and fifty yuan, and let them each return to their hometowns." ”

"Yes, my lord." Zuo Yu bowed.

Guo Shao glanced at the many women inside, and shouted loudly: "Woman, if you know a fellow countryman, you will receive a coiled ration and go back with your fellow villager; I couldn't find an acquaintance, so I followed the forbidden army all the way back to my hometown, and let's go back to Heyang. He added, "It is strictly forbidden to abuse prisoners and insult women, and those who violate them will be severely punished!" These are the people, who have been brought by force. ”

He went around and returned to Jinju City to convene the generals to discuss the matter.

"Murong Yanzhao still led the Jianxiong army, and Li Chongjin's thousands of town soldiers were under the account of Murong Jieshuai to stabilize the defense of Jinzhou."

"The three cities of Heyang are empty, and in the name of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, I temporarily ordered General Xiang to be the envoy of the three cities of Heyang, and led Li Jixun to surrender his troops; plus 2,000 cavalry of the Zhen'an Army to defend the north bank of the Yellow River. ”

"The Huainan soldiers in the hands of Li Chongjin felt the German army, and first went south with the forbidden army, and waited for the guard Ma Busi to send someone to take over and settle down. Everyone's achievements in this battle, after returning to the court, the queen mother will be rewarded. ”

After hearing this, the generals bowed one after another: "The last general will wait for Guo Du's inspection order!" ”

Guo Shao looked at the scene of the cold wind howling outside, turned around and smiled: "Winter is coming, after pacifying Li Chongjin and Li Jixun, there should be no major events this year." When everyone receives the reward, you can have a good year this year. ”

The crowd laughed easily.

Guo Shao said again: "The corpses of the fallen soldiers were transported back to Tokyo and buried thickly. ”
