"Set off to attack Zhuozhou on the same day, be sure to take it as soon as possible!"

Zhao Gou summoned the generals to gather together, he knew that the Jin soldiers had broken through the Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and the next step was to take the imperial city directly, at that time, Emperor Liao Tianzuo would definitely be reduced to a prisoner, and Liao would be destroyed. If you don't do anything at this time and continue to wait, I'm afraid it's too late.

As a result, Zhao Gou ordered the army to attack Zhuozhou.

"Dashuai, why are you so anxious?" Everyone was taken aback and didn't react at all, but Zhao Gou's words made them all stunned.

"You should know the result of the Liaojin War!" Zhao Gou frowned and said in a deep voice: "If you don't guess wrong, it won't be more than three months at most, and Liao will die!" ”

"If Liao perishes, our army is still waiting, even if it is too late to attack again. Because Liao died at that time, it was impossible to contain the Jin soldiers, so our recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would definitely be hindered. ”

Everyone thought so, and they all felt that the Jurchens could not be trusted. Because they were originally ambitious, if they were given time to buffer, then the Song and Jin countries would go to war again.

After Zhao Gou's explanation, everyone no longer had doubts in their hearts, but happily agreed to attack Zhuozhou. As for the Zhuozhou guards, they have already figured it out and are still not afraid.

Then, Zhao Gou led an army of 50,000 to attack Zhuozhou in person. At the same time, the city of Zhuozhou is also gloomy.

"General, what should the spies do to report to the commander of the Song army and personally command the army?"

The Zhuozhou garrison general is Guo Yaoshi, his life is rarely known, the only thing known is that he was the commander of the "resentful army", and later because of the repeated miraculous feats in the war with the Jurchens, he was promoted to three levels in a row, and directly became the Zhuozhou defender.

Originally, the "resentment army" was to resist the Jurchens, to take revenge and revenge. Therefore, this army is also all Liaodong people, but they are all made up of hungry people, which also led to what happened later.

Because of the large army composed of hungry people, and this army was recruited by Yeluchun, the king of Yan, and was divided into eight battalions, including Qianyi Battalion, Houyi Battalion, Qianjin Battalion, Houjin Battalion, Qianying Battalion, Xian Battalion, Qianxian Battalion, and Yanzhou Battalion, totaling more than 28,000 people.

It's a pity that this army has repeatedly rebelled, and in the end, this "resentful army" was also decomposed by Emperor Tianzuo, but Guo Yaoshi really came into people's field of vision and became a general in his own right.

Guo Yaoshi sighed: "The Song army has won one after another, the morale is high, and there are tens of thousands of troops, and our defenders are only more than 8,000 people, less than a quarter of the Song army, how to fight?" ”

"Now that the Song army is invincible, our soldiers have suffered repeated setbacks on the East Road, and they have been defeated. Now, Zhongjing has been lost again, the king of Jin has also been killed, and Daliao is in danger! ”

The faces of the people were solemn, sighing, they didn't know about this, the most important thing is that it is winter. Even if they are northerners, in such an environment, they lack troops, as well as military supplies and grass, how can they fight with the Song army.

If the two armies were to fight, they would certainly have no chance of victory, only defeat or total annihilation. Even if everyone is unwilling to face it, they have to face this problem, they are really powerless.

Now they all feel like they are alone, alone. They didn't want to rashly ask for help, otherwise they would be the same as Xiao Pu, and it would really be irreparable.

Therefore, everyone is thinking about what to do.

"General, let's surrender!"

Guo Yaoshi solemnly refused: "Surrender? How do the people of the world think of me Guo Yaoshi, and what face do I have to see the emperor. ”

As long as someone starts, they will follow in a steady stream, and they are also in favor of surrender. If there is a choice between death and survival, no one will give up on survival and choose death.

In the unanimous approval of everyone, Pharmacist Guo reluctantly agreed. In fact, he had already opened his mind with joy, and the person who started was also his person, deliberately throwing bricks and bricks to attract jade, so as to show his wisdom and benevolence, and agreed in the persuasion of everyone.

"I'll write the book!" Pharmacist Guo 'helplessly' agreed, but what he said was not like that.

When he wrote the surrender letter, he immediately sent it to the Song army camp and handed it to the commander of the Song army, waiting for his response. As long as Zhao Gou agreed, he would open the city gate and surrender.

Zhao Gou took the messenger's letter of surrender, only to see that it was written that Guo Yaoshi was "brave and loyal", and Zhao Gou was depressed.

Because Guo Yaoshi expressed his strong sense of identity with the Song Dynasty in the book of descending, and also strongly stated that he was a Song person, not a Liao person. In addition, Guo Yaoshi also expressed his loyalty to Liao, but he couldn't be reused, and his surrender to the Song Dynasty was just a helpless move.

Zhao Gou really couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this book, he really didn't expect that Guo Yaoshi was really talented, this book did seem to be sincere at first glance, but he said that he was a Song person in front of him, and he recognized the Great Song Dynasty, and then showed his loyalty, but this book, Zhao Gou still followed, let the people come back, and he agreed.

"Dashuai, who is this Pharmacist Guo?"

"Don't worry about this, anyway, in a word, we can get Zhuozhou without much effort!" Zhao Gou smiled indifferently and said, "Since we won without a fight, then we would gladly accept it." As for this, this person doesn't care for the time being! ”

When the Song army marched to the south, when the army arrived outside the city of Zhuozhou, the Zhuozhou guard Guo Yaoshi led 8,000 people to gather outside the city gate, the city gate was opened, and kneeling to welcome the arrival of the Song army.

In addition, Pharmacist Guo not only gave up Zhuozhou, but also Yizhou. At the same time, the generals who surrendered also included Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou, etc.

Zhao Gou led a large army into the city and drove straight in. Zhuozhou and Yizhou were obtained without losing a single soldier, and Zhao Gou did not split them, and directly let them still use the title of "Changsheng Army", but they all belonged to Liu Guangshi's subordinates, which means that they are now completely Song Army, and Liu Guangshi is their general.

Zhao Gou, who originally thought that there would be a big battle, didn't expect this to be the result. However, these results are also expected. Because of this result, Zhao Gou has long been clear.

Moreover, Zhao Gou told Liu Guangshi again: "General Liu, you have to keep an eye on them at all times!" ”

Liu Guangshi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly. Zhao Gou's words showed his distrust of them, because although there were not many Guo Yaoshi recorded in history, Zhao Gou also knew that this person could not be fully trusted.

Because Guo Yaoshi was not born in a general's family, nor was he a literati and writer, but a person who led an army of hungry people.

If it weren't for the last resort, Pharmacist Guo wouldn't really surrender. Because of his background, he subconsciously loyalized himself as a subconscious, even if he reused, he would not really fight to the death, let alone sacrifice his life for the country, he valued his net worth and life more.

As for Liao or Song, it doesn't matter if it's Liao, what matters is that you still have your own future.

Therefore, Zhao Gou told Liu Guangshi to pay attention, also just in case.
