After everyone finished speaking, Guo Yaoshi took a step forward, turned around, drew his sword, and shouted at the men and horses of the Sibiao Battalion that belonged to his command: "I, Guo Yaoshi and my commanders, will follow the envoy from now on, expand the territory, attack the city, and never retreat, if there is disobedience, then I will refer to it!" As he spoke, he swung his sword and cut off the little finger of his left hand, and suddenly the blood flowed from the broken little finger, but Guo Yaoshi frowned as usual, just staring at the soldiers under his command.

When these victorious soldiers saw that Guo Yaoshi had broken off his oath, they all raised their weapons and roared: "Follow the envoy, there will be no retreat!" ”

"Follow the envoy, there will be no retreat!"

"Follow the envoy, there will be no retreat!"

Only then did Pharmacist Guo put away his sword, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and sprinkled some medicine powder on the wound, and the bleeding immediately stopped, and Pharmacist Guo proudly put away the porcelain bottle. Zhou Nan stroked his hands on the stage and said: "General Guo is really a hero, I wanted to toast General Guo with a glass, but there is no strong wine!" Shaking his head, it's a pity.

Pharmacist Guo was proud today, and shouted to his subordinates: "Wine!" ”

These victorious soldiers naturally knew where there was wine, and after a while, two sergeants came running over with wine jars and wine bowls, and poured a bowl for Zhou Nan and the others.

Zhou Nan picked up the bowl and said to Pharmacist Guo: "General Guo is brave, and he swears an oath again, follow me, this bowl of wine, I respect General Guo!" After saying that, he threw his neck up and drank the wine.

Pharmacist Guo saw that the envoy was very face-saving, and he was also dry. The sergeant came over and poured it down again.

Zhou Nan picked up the wine bowl and said to the five newly sealed officials and soldiers in the audience: "This bowl of wine, I wish the Heavenly Army to restore Yanyun and recover its homeland!" ”

A few people dried the wine in the bowl again, Zhou Nan looked at Pharmacist Guo, and hurriedly said: "Today, each officer and soldier has two catties of wine and half a catty of meat!" To celebrate. ”

The soldiers below shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Envoy! Thank you, Ambassador! ”

Zhou Nan arranged for Shi Yue to lead his troops to defend the city today, and he went back to the Liushou Mansion under the escort when he came.

Guo Yaoshi's face was full of red light, he mounted his horse, and took his men and horses back to the barracks first. Along the way, the commander and deputy commander of the Sibiao battalion hugged each other, full of flattery, and when they were about to reach the gate of the camp, Guo Yaoshi suddenly fell from the horse with a pop and fell to the ground.

More than 20 chief and deputy commanders hurriedly dismounted to check, only to see that Guo Yaoshi's face was full of red light, and there was a blood stain flowing from the corner of his mouth, but there was no breath in his mouth and nose. When I turned over again, I saw a red color on my back, and I didn't know if it was a recurrence of the arrow wound, or if the wound was broken open after falling to the ground.

These people hurriedly carried Pharmacist Guo into the camp, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they sent someone to report to the envoy quickly.

Although these commanders and envoys also had doubts in their hearts, they felt that it was the hands and feet of the envoys who killed General Guo. But firstly, Pharmacist Guo even swore an oath of loyalty to Zhou Nan just now, and secondly, the wine he drank just now was the wine brought by their own soldiers, and the people who drank were not only Pharmacist Guo himself, but thirdly, they also knew that Zhou Nan and Pharmacist Guo were hit by arrows at the same time a few days ago.

The corner of Guo Yaoshi's mouth was bleeding and the wound was bursting, so these commanders unanimously judged that the old injury had recurred and died, and there were no other doubts. Now that the situation has just stabilized, this incident has happened, they are in the position of commander, they are more sensitive, and if they do a good job, they can keep their official positions, and even be promoted to biao officials; If you don't do it well, it is possible to get the people for the people, or even be killed, so these commanders are now surprisingly unified, on the one hand, the morale of the army in the Vichy camp is stable, and on the other hand, they send someone to report to the envoy and ask the envoy to deal with it.

Zhou Nan, who had just returned to the left-behind mansion, had not changed his clothes, so Han Gui led a soldier in, who had just seen Zhou Nan in the colonel's field, and said to Zhou Nan as soon as he came in: "Envoy, General Guo suddenly fell off his horse and died on the way back to the camp. ”

Zhou Nan asked strangely: "General Guo has been fighting horses all his life, how could he fall from a horse and die?" Where is it now? ”

The soldier replied: "General Guo is now in the camp, and I don't know why he fell from his horse, but after falling from his horse, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his arrow wound recurred. ”

Zhou Nan paused and said: "General Guo is just impatient, if he raises for a few more days...... Alas! Then he said to the soldier, "Lead the way before your head, and I will go now." ”

Saying that, he walked to the side and said a few words to Ma Daqiu, and Zhou Nan and Han Gui followed the soldier.

Zhou Nan rode a horse and rushed to the camp of Guo Yaoshi's Biao army, and immediately several commanders and envoys came up to meet him and invited Zhou Nan to a barracks. Zhou Nan walked to the bed, took a cursory look, and asked Guo Yaoshi to turn over, only to see that the arrow wound on his back was cracked, and now there was not much bleeding, leaving a black bruise coagulated in the wound.

"Can you ask the military doctor to see it?" Zhou Nan asked.

Someone next to him replied: "I have already seen it, and it is said that the arrow wound has not healed, and today's activity is too much, and the blood is intensifying, so that the wound burst and dies." ”

"I'm about to rely on General Guo, but the sky is not a holiday!" Zhou Nan sighed.

The commanders and envoys in the room looked at each other, and suddenly bowed to Zhou Nan and said, "I am willing to fight the fire for the envoy, and there is no other word!" ”

Zhou Nan greeted him and said: "You are all heroes in the army, I naturally value it, you first appease the soldiers of each battalion, bury General Guo, and then discuss the matter of the army." ”

These commanders who said something made their hearts settled, and they were about to be grateful to Zhou Nan, when a person came in from outside, it was Shi Yue, who was guarding the city, Shi Yue saw that Zhou Nan was there, so he stepped forward and said: "General Yu, Xiao Gan led the army to the outside of the city, there were about 5,000 people, shouting for you and General Guo to go out...... Suffer, die. At the end, the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, Shi Yue was afraid that after Zhou Nan was provoked, he would open the city gate to face the battle, then these recruits under his command who had just practiced for a few days would probably be defeated in one fight.

Who knew that Zhou Nan was not angry, but asked: "Do you have any way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

All the commanders and envoys know that Xiao Gan is a number of famous generals in the Liao army, resourceful, in Liaodong has defeated their resentful army many times, I heard that this time also brought 5,000 elite soldiers, although they have more than 10,000 men and horses in the city, but in addition to the old foundation of the Changsheng army has fought, the rest are newly recruited soldiers, only afraid of defeat at one touch. It's just that the rich and the dangerous are seeking, whoever wants to repel Xiao Gan now will naturally be the future Biao official, whether it is a fast brain or a slow brain, now they all understand this truth, and they have said: "A certain person is willing to go out of the city to fight, for the sake of the envoy to share the worries!" ”

Zhou Nan saw that these commanders all wanted to fight, and said with a smile: "You don't need to fight, you can retreat from the enemy; Each of you brings your own battalion of soldiers and horses, and you will know as I go up to the city wall. ”

These commanders felt strange in their hearts, but they could not say it, and sent a few soldiers to guard here, and the rest went to the colonel field with the commanders of the battalion, ready to go to the city to see how the envoys could retreat from the enemy without troops.
