When Guo Yaoshi heard Zhou Nan's question, he summoned someone and ordered: "Go and bring the roster of the four Biao armies." The soldier turned and went out, and in a few moments came in with a sergeant, who had come in with a thick stack of pamphlets.

"General, the rosters of the four armies have been brought, please take a look." The sergeant holding the booklet stepped forward and said, handing the booklet to Pharmacist Guo.

Guo Yaoshi waved his hand and said, "You first report the names of each Biao generals and the number of soldiers and horses one by one." ”

"Yes!" The sergeant immediately opened the booklet and read them one by one: "The former military camp, General Guo, the commander of the battalion, commanded ten people, led four thousand infantry troops and one thousand horse troops; After the military camp, the Biao officer Zhen Wuchen, commanded the battalion and commanded five people, led two thousand infantry troops and five hundred horse troops; Left military camp, Biao officer Zhang Linghui, commander of the battalion commander of five people, led 2,000 infantry troops, 600 horse troops; In the right military camp, Liu Sunchen, the commander of the battalion, commanded five people, led 2,000 infantry troops and 500 horse troops. There were 10,000 infantry troops and 2,600 horse troops. ”

Guo Yaoshi said to Zhou Nan: "All the soldiers and horses of the Biao battalion are here. I want to allocate half of the people and horses of each standard camp and hand it over to the head of Shidu, but I don't know what the envoy wants? ”

Zhou Nan secretly calculated in his heart, if this Guo Yaoshi directly allocated the two men and horses to himself, then he should think about it carefully, the complete formation of soldiers and horses can easily cause the situation of disobedience to orders, after all, he is only a bare-pole general, if the following officials and soldiers join forces, then he will be blind.

Now Pharmacist Guo actually proposed to allocate half of the men and horses of each battalion to himself, not to mention, I just heard from Pharmacist Guo that Zhen Wuchen actually sent someone to Yanjing City to report the news, which shows that the four people are obviously not of the same mind. In this way, the situation of non-compliance with orders by the generals and sergeants assigned to them was completely avoided.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan smiled and said to Pharmacist Guo: "General Guo is resolute and resolute, and he really deserves to be a general." However, how to allocate the soldiers and horses of each battalion? ”

"This is easy to do," Guo Yaoshi said, took the pen, opened the account book again, began to sketch one by one with the pen, and soon counted the roster, handed the roster to the sergeant, and then said to Zhou Nan: "The envoy, the lower has been divided according to the battalion, and the men and horses of each battalion under each biao have been selected, and everything that is in the circle has been allocated to the head of Shidu. These rosters will be temporarily placed in the office of the upper envoy tonight, and the lower meeting will send someone to copy out the list of men and horses of each battalion selected on the roster and hand it over to the upper envoy. ”

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "General Guo is too worried, I can trust General Guo, there is no need to copy it from me, but how can General Guo explain this matter to those three officials?" ”

Guo Yaoshi's slender eyes were gloomy, and he said: "Tomorrow, I will first wait in the back hall for the aggrieved envoy, and ask Shi Dutou to lead a group of subordinates to pretend to be in the lower army and wait in the hall." Early tomorrow morning, I will convene all the generals and officials to discuss matters in the left-behind mansion, explain the matter of voting to the Song Dynasty, and those who dare not obey will be taken immediately; Then order the generals to draw a charge on the transcribed roster, sign a military order under it, send someone to take the roster and military order, accompanied by Shi Dutou, and hand over the soldiers and horses allocated to the envoy on the roster to Shi Dutou. There are few men and horses, and the envoys have enough soldiers and horses, and they can only obey orders. Then take this opportunity to eliminate the traitors and kill Xiao Yuqing in Zhizhou. Then the envoy dedicated the city, asked the envoy to pacify the officials and the people, and read the treasury books. ”

Pharmacist Guo said tomorrow's plan in one breath, and Zhou Nan stroked his palm and praised: "General Guo is really well-arranged, and there is nothing missing. So I'm relieved. I invite General Guo to drink this glass of wine, and I wish General Guo all the best tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Ambassador. Please. Pharmacist Guo drank it all again, and Zhou Nan said: "It's getting late, and there will be a lot of things tomorrow, so I won't bother General Guo and leave." Pharmacist Guo hurriedly got up and said, "Please rest in peace as soon as possible." "Congratulations to Zhou Nan and Shi Yue to go back.

"Da Lang, Huang Yaoshi, this guy is hiding traitors." Returning to the main room of the single courtyard where they lived, Shi Yue opened his mouth and said to Zhou Nan: "This guy is only allocated according to the roster, and it is clear that he wants to leave the strong and capable soldiers, and give us the old and weak soldiers. "Shi Yue has been in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows these ways.

Zhou Nan leaned back in the chair and said slowly: "Brother Shi, I naturally understand the difference, just give him some hope first, let him feel that he has taken advantage, we will watch him play, and finally ...... Hmph, he can't get a soldier, not a horse! ”

Shi Yue was startled and said, "Da Lang, do you want to kill the surnamed Guo?" We have few people in our hands, even if we allocate it to our men tomorrow, we will not be willing to kill the surnamed Guo for us for a while. You can't be reckless about this. ”

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "Brother Shi, of course we can't do stupid things ourselves. Have you ever heard the story of "Two Peach Kills Three Soldiers"? ”

Shi Yue shook his head, and Zhou Nan explained: "Once upon a time, there was an emperor with three generals under him, all of whom were very powerful, and they did not give in to each other, and they were arrogant, so the emperor wanted to get rid of these three people. A minister came up with an idea to ask Qi Jinggong to invite the three generals to reward them with two precious peaches; And the three people could not divide the two peaches equally, so the minister proposed a way to divide the peaches - the three people compared the merits, and the merit was greater to take one peach. The three generals came and went, and in the end they were all forced to draw their swords and commit suicide, just like that, relying on only two peaches, they eliminated the three threats without bloodshed-the reward I promised to the surname Guo today is the peach that these officials will fight for in the future-as long as we reveal the matter of this peach to others. ”

Shi Yue nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "But how can you reveal this matter to others?" Once the soldiers and horses are allocated, the soldiers and horses under these Biao officials will not be able to compete with the surnamed Guo, how dare they kill this surnamed Guo? ”

Zhou Nan further said: "Revealing these rewards, there are little fourth brothers; If one Biao camp can't do it, then the two Biao camps will join forces, Brother Shi, you remember, what we want is for them to eat dogs, not to see them clean up their opponents, the more chaotic they kill each other, the more beneficial it will be to us. Also, that's not what is best for our plans. ”

Shi Yue looked at Zhou Nan in confusion, Zhou Nan sneered, and said, "They were originally pregnant with ghosts. At this time of struggle for power and profit, the surnamed Guo wants to receive the reward alone, and the others are naturally unwilling, we just need to push the boat down the river......" Zhou Nan gently pushed forward in the void with his hand, and said: "They will break their heads and bleed, and they will not die." When they each use elite soldiers to kill each other to exhaustion, the elite soldiers will not be elite soldiers, and we old and weak soldiers will be elite soldiers......"

Shi Yue thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but shudder at the tragic ending of Pharmacist Guo, Zhen Wuchen and the others.
