Chapter 575: Country, Nation, Brother, What Are They to You?
The always calm Pharmacist Guo was stunned at this time, as if he had separated the eight top yang bones and poured down half a bucket of ice and snow water, he knew very well what it meant for Xiao Tang to appear here.
Because Pharmacist Guo had already noticed that from the beginning to the end, Xiao Tang seemed to have sensed that he would inevitably rebel, so he had already made complete preparations, as long as he, Pharmacist Guo, began to plot against him, he would slowly step into the trap prepared by Xiao Tang......
But what made Guo Yaoshi very puzzled was that he had always been respectful in his service to Xiao Tang in the past, so how did Xiao Tang guess that he would definitely not be willing to be a resentful general in Baozhou, and he would definitely plot rebellion?
Because Xiao Tang not only remembered the deeds of Guo Yaoshi in the official history who successively surrendered to the Liao, Song, and Jin Kingdoms, but he suddenly remembered the words of another general in Chinese history who was a Han but also a well-known general in later generations because he had defected to a foreign country: "The eldest husband cannot be capricious and be disgraced again." ”
The person who said this was called Li Ling.
At that time, as the grandson of Li Guangchang, the flying general and also a famous general of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling made many exploits in the war with the Huns, but later was surrounded by the Huns without reinforcements. But later, he resisted the 80,000 brave enemies of the Xiongnu with 5,000 soldiers, and insisted on being isolated after nearly ten days, Li Ling had no choice but to surrender to the committee to seek the whole, at that time, even the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had realized that Li Ling was forced to surrender because there was no rescue, and originally planned to send troops deep into the territory of the Xiongnu to rescue Li Ling, but he received false information that Li Ling was training for the Xiongnu, and Li Ling's whole family was sentenced to tribal punishment, and his mother, brother and wife were not spared.
After Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji, who were in power, were Li Ling's close friends, and when they tried their best to promote Li Ling's return to Han, this was the reason why Li Ling said with emotion. Although he is not a tragic hero with a high temperament, but according to Xiao Tang, he is not a despicable and shameless traitor, Li Ling was reused by the Huns, but he was deeply ashamed of surrendering to the enemy, it can be said that he is also a very representative figure, similar to his experience, but his reputation is far less than that of his military generals in previous dynasties, and there are many.
But it is also a betrayal, but Pharmacist Guo is a completely different situation.
Guo Yaoshi served Liao, and told him more than three times and twice that he was loyal to Da Liao, and he had always taken it as his responsibility to defend the country; Guo Yaoshi descended to the Song Dynasty, and began to talk about national feelings again, besides, I am also a son of the Han family, how can I not have a strong sense of national identity in the Great Song Dynasty? At the end of the Liao Dynasty, among the Han people in the Liao State, Guo Yaoshi was not the only one who talked about the Han people, but only to seek a higher official position in the Great Song Dynasty......
Therefore, for some people, the more they shout patriotism and nationalism, the more they will be traitors and traitors.
And since the feelings of the country and the nation can be used by Pharmacist Guo, how can he be willing to serve me just because he is like-minded? Xiao Tang sighed in his heart, he had already slapped his horse with his sword, and slowly paced towards the earth-colored Guo Yaoshi.
Could it be that I am really going to die here? Pharmacist Guo gritted his teeth, although he betrayed Xiao Tang first, but now his eyes were still full of resentment, and he glared at Xiao Tang.
"Although I have long known what kind of person you are, there is some friendship between you and me after all......
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xiao Tang suddenly said: "Moreover, Baozhou recruited Han refugees from all over Liaodong, and you can also be said to have made great contributions." I used to think that everyone's circumstances are different, and even if you take fame and fortune very seriously, you may not necessarily turn your back on your former colleagues and friends...... But now it seems that I still want to go wrong. ”
"The surname is Xiao, you don't have to behave with me anymore!"
has reached such a situation, Guo Yaoshi simply tore his face, and he said to Xiao Tang fiercely: "You, the official of the Song Kingdom, secretly went to Liaodong to divide the land for autonomy, and you are also like me, only treating others as helpers that can be used!" What's more, it seems that now that I am afraid, I am afraid that you have already thought of a countermeasure, just waiting for me to take the bait, but I am afraid that you have already saved the intention of killing me, right? ”
Xiao Tang paused for a moment and said: "Yes, because I knew that you were capricious and rebellious, and you took refuge in me only because of temporary expediency, and you want to fornicate with the officials and soldiers of the Liao State, and you are not loyal to the Liao Dynasty." For people like you, who can promise you greater fame, higher official position, and more noble lordship, the country, the nation, and the righteousness of the brothers can all be betrayed, and I can't give you these things now, so I have long been wary of you plotting against you. Now that I have seen through your intentions, what else do you have to say? ”
"If you become a king or lose a king, what can you say? I, Pharmacist Guo, thought I was calculating you, but how could I have expected that from the very beginning, I would be calculated by you! I, Pharmacist Guo, don't talk about morality and righteousness, I'm afraid that you, Xiao Renxia, don't treat me as a confidant brother from beginning to end! Now that I'm failing, what else is there to say!? ”
Although Pharmacist Guo was scolding in his mouth, he still looked around left and right with a pair of tricks, and wanted to find an opportunity to break out. At this time, he was still secretly thinking: As long as I can catch up with the officials and soldiers of the Liao State, I, Pharmacist Guo, can still make a comeback!
At this moment, Guo Yaoshi suddenly heard a thunderous roar again, Han Shizhong over there was like a mad tiger, he used the eyebrow knife in his hand with enough strength to swing and slash down, and the terrible sword turned into a violent wind, forcing Zhen Wuchen, who was fighting with him, to be in chaos!
Zhen Wuchen was shocked, he didn't expect this Han Wu's martial arts to be so strong! The two have been fighting for thirty or forty times, but he has already been suppressed by Han Shizhong's sword like a thunderstorm, and now Zhen Wuchen, although he is still relying on his ruthless and violent ferocity in the past, and seems to be crazy with the mace, in fact, he has already begun to retreat, and he is unwilling to entangle with Han Shizhong more.
But Han Shizhong, who is also perfect in driving horses, how could he easily let him go?
"Wow!"
The war horse under Han Shizhong's crotch neighed, and the bowl-sized horse's hooves slammed the ground tightly, he galloped on his horse, and Zhen Wuchen's two horses were like flying, and they were about to crash into one place again in an instant!
Han Shizhong and Zhen Wuchen shouted at the same time, and respectively brandished the eyebrow knife and mace in their hands and attacked the other party!
"Bell !!"
First, a deafening symphony of gold and iron resounded in the sky, and then I heard "poof!" With a soft sound, Zhen Wuchen's mace was swept away, and at the moment of lightning, the sharp long knife in Han Shizhong's hand seemed to be like flowing water, and it was another blow, leaving a deep blood mark on Zhen Wuchen's chest!
The two horses staggered, and the war horse carried Zhen Wuchen and galloped forward for dozens of steps, the pain in his heart had spread from his chest, Zhen Wuchen slowly lowered his head, and saw a wisp of bright red blood coming out of the crack in the breastplate......
Now he finally knew that he was afraid.
The remaining men and horses of Guo Yaoshi were quickly annihilated by the generals who outflanked them from the left and right, such as Yan Youxin, Yan Youyi, Yuan Lang, and Zhu Qi, and they also copied from each other and surrounded Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the look of fear on Zhen Wuchen's face, who was born with a meaty face, became more and more obvious, and at this moment, Han Shizhong drove his horse in a circle, and immediately rushed towards him again.
Zhen Wuchen raised his head to the sky and let out a desperate howl, and picked up the mace in his hand to counterattack Han Shizhong, but only a moment later, Zhen Wuchen's hoarse and piercing howl stopped abruptly, his Nuoda's body twitched violently, and blood suddenly splattered from his waist...... Zhen Wuchen's upper body slowly slipped off the horse, leaving only the lower half of his body riding on the saddle, it turned out that he had been cut in two by Han Shizhong!
Han Shizhong slashed Zhen Wuchen with a knife, and then raised the knife in his hand with his eyebrows high, and shouted: "Righteous villain! Kill the pleasure!! ”
"Righteous villain! Kill the pleasure!! ”
The other soldiers who outflanked him also responded to Han Shizhong's roar and let out a tsunami-like shout, which shocked Pharmacist Guo even more frightened!
However, at this moment, Guo Yaoshi saw that the Khitan head man was also galloping towards his side, and in the direction of the Yalu River crossing bridge, Dong Xiaoqiu also led a group of men and horses to gallop over.
Pharmacist Guo finally despaired, and he also knew that he was facing the current situation, and he had no physiology.
