When Lu Danan went south, there were countless pillows and corpses in Zhuozhou City, and the city was under martial law by countless iron armors, and there was also a curfew, and no people were allowed to go out. There were also many state soldiers cleaning the battlefield.

The disposal of tens of thousands of corpses is not a simple matter, and there are more than a dozen deep pits being dug outside Zhuozhou.

Swords, guns, and armor were piled up like mountains, but there was not much grain and grass in the city. Obviously, Zhuozhou had not made much preparation for this big battle before. Even the soldiers of Jerod Dashi only brought a few rations on their horses.

This situation shows that the Liao people are not prepared. Perhaps there was luck in the hearts of the Liao people, and the Liao people who read the books of the sages also expected that the Song people who also read the books of the sages would abide by the covenant, and they did not expect that the Song people really tore up the covenant of a hundred years and sent troops to attack Liao.

Among them, there is also a reason why the military focus of the Liao people is in the north. The war, which was supposed to start after May, started in February because of Zheng Zhi. As a result, the Liao people lost three months of preparation time.

This battle also doomed the Liao people to defeat. Even if Zheng Zhi doesn't attack Zhuozhou, he won't buy time. Instead, they besieged Zhuozhou, and the Yelu Dashi outside the city and the more than 10,000 troops in the city could not hold out for long. In ten or twenty days, there will be no food in the city, and Jerodashi will also go away to look for food.

The reason why Zheng Zhi wanted to start this battle was obviously because he didn't want the seven thousand knights under Yelu Dashi to get away, so as not to be even more embarrassed under Yanjing City.

After three days, the aftermath of the war was slowly coming to an end, the corpses of the Liao people were buried, and the corpses of the Song people were identified and a roster was compiled, and each corpse was hung with a small wooden plaque with a name. The corpses were also neatly placed, and after the battle, they were slowly transported back to Hebei.

Fortunately, it was still winter, and although the weather was warmer, the temperature was not high, and the preservation of the corpse became much easier.

In the evening, twenty or thirty senior generals gathered in the big tent, and simple meals were delivered directly to the big tent, and everyone devoured them.

Zheng Zhi was also eating, and said: "Start early tomorrow morning, smell the drums and gather troops." Zhu Long was in charge of dismantling the camp tent. In addition, Wang Yu led his subordinates to stay in Zhuozhou, and then transferred 5,000 forbidden troops to obey Wang Yu's orders. Now it has penetrated into the Liao realm, although Zhuozhou City has been captured, there are Liao cities on the left and right, and there are Liao soldiers in Yizhou and Ulzhou, and this time it is necessary to keep Zhuozhou City. ”

Everyone gobbled up and answered yes.

After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, he also lowered his head and ate a few bites of food. There was also alcohol in the army, but this situation did not allow everyone to drink.

"Report! Outside the camp, a team of people asked to see him, saying that they were soldiers under the command of Guo Yaoshi in Yizhou, and they all spoke Chinese. "An order came in from outside the tent to give a report.

Zheng Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Pharmacist Guo?" This person is a Liao general? Why did you send someone at this time? ”

Zheng Zhi's words were naturally not the order soldiers to ask, Wu Yong replied: "Xianggong, this person is a Han person, because he knows the Liao emperor Ye Luchun in Yanjing City, he can lead the troops. Yeluchun had previously formed a resentment army when he suppressed the rebellion of Gao Bangchang, a Bohai native in the north, and this person was a general in the resentment army under Yeluchun. Now that Yeluchun has ascended the throne in Yanjing, he has handed over most of the resentful army to this person. Now it is stationed in the west of Zhuozhou. His official position is to stay in Zhuozhou, and his family seems to be in Zhuozhou City, but when he found out before, he sent troops to inspect it, but he did not find it in his house, it was probably hidden somewhere in the city, and the students had sent people to look for it. ”

Wu Yong obviously did a lot of homework, but Zheng Zhi didn't know a little less, and it was also because this Guo Yaoshi had just ascended the throne because Yeluchun was able to lead his troops south. Yizhou is just opposite Baozhou to the west of Xiongzhou, and it is also the frontline.

"What about the combat power of the resentful army?" Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and asked again.

"Xianggong, at the beginning of the formation of the resentment army, the name was also to complain about the Jurchens, but it was repeatedly defeated with the Jurchens, and I heard that the resentment army initially had nearly 30,000 people, but now it is less than 10,000 people. Thinking about it, the combat power is not strong. Wu Yong replied.

But when Zheng Zhi heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "This is not a good word, so it seems that the soldiers under the command of Guo Yaoshi are only afraid that their combat strength is not bad." After several battles with the Jurchens, the remaining 10,000 people should not be underestimated. ”

Zheng Zhi's prediction was naturally accurate. Pharmacist Guo is really a person who can fight. In history, after Tong Guan's failure to attack Liao, another 200,000 troops were raised to attack Liao. also attacked Yanjing City and entered the outer city of Yanjing. The main force of the sneak attack was the soldiers under the command of Guo Yaoshi. It's just that it ended in failure in the end.

Guo Yaoshi served the Three Kingdoms in his life, and was originally the general of the Liao people, because after the Liao State Taiwei Li Chuwen was executed for fornicating with the Song people, the Liao people began to distrust the Han people in the dynasty, and Guo Yaoshi, the Han man, also entered the list of not being trusted, Guo Yaoshi heard about this, and immediately led his troops to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. After that, he surrendered to the Jurchens and attacked the city for the Jurchens.

Medicine Master is the name of the Buddha, it is the Medicine Buddha, and many people in the ancients liked to take the name of the Buddha. For example, Li Shimin's queen Guanyin is the name of the Buddha. Yelu Longxu, the sixth emperor of the Liao State, also known as Manjushri, is Manjushri Bodhisattva. In fact, Master Li is also the name of the Buddha, just because Master Li lived in a temple when he was a child. That's why there is the name of the Buddha. There is also a famous person, Huang Yaoshi, who came in the same way. This kind of naming is the most prevalent in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, and the Buddhist cave murals in Dunhuang are mainly built during this period.

According to the historical process, this Guo Yaoshi's descent to the Song Dynasty should have occurred after May.

"Bring people in!" Zheng Zhi said. After finishing speaking, he hurriedly accelerated the speed of eating.

Soon after everyone finished eating, three people walked in outside the door, and a tall man in armor was in front. There are two men on the left and right, the one on the left is a little shorter, but he is extremely muscular, with a beard. The one on the right appears to be young.

"Under the tent of Guo Dashuai of the Changsheng Army, Zhen Wuchen will meet Zheng Xianggong." The leader stepped forward to salute. The left and right then greeted each other.

Zheng Zhi looked at Zhen Wuchen and asked, "Isn't the army under the command of Guo Yaoshi?" Why did it become a winning army again? ”

Zhen Wuchen hurriedly explained: "Back to Zheng Xianggong, my family's handsome man has just changed his name. The resentful army was really not good, so it was changed to a permanent victorious army, which means constant victory. ”

In fact, the change of the resentful army to the ever-victorious army was done by Yeluchun. But it was said by Zhen Wuchen that it was done by Guo Yaoshi.

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this, and said: "Repeated defeats, it is a good sign to change the name of constant victory." Pharmacist Guo sent you, why did you do it? ”

Zhen Wuchen heard Zheng Zhi's joke, and smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Back to the minister, the big marshal sent the little one here, mainly because of the surrender. A few days ago, Dashuai received a letter from His Majesty of the Great Song Dynasty, feeling that he was a Han and unwilling to rely on a foreign race to serve him anymore, so he sent a small one to discuss the matter. ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he asked, "Since you have surrendered, why don't you see Pharmacist Guo come in person?" ”

In fact, Zheng Zhi also understood in his heart that this Pharmacist Guo was obviously for the sake of his family in Zhuozhou City, so he came to surrender at this time.

When Zhen Wuchen heard this, he only said: "The big marshal is on the way here, the army is marching slowly, and the small ones are sent to come first, I want to ask if His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will follow what the text says, and still be able to keep the original official position." ”

Emperor Zhao Ji made it clear in his essay that as long as Yan Yun came to vote, he could be reinstated, and he would also send money to the mansion. Pharmacist Guo naturally also valued this and made some good calculations. At this time, if you come to vote, you can return to Zhuozhou to stay behind, or the prefect of Zhuozhou. can also keep the family small, and can also keep the subordinate parts. Kill a few birds with one stone.

In history, for the surrender of Pharmacist Guo, Zhao Ji also did so in accordance with the text, and also promised Pharmacist Guo a huge amount of grain, grass and ordnance. As a result, Guo Yaoshi's power expanded rapidly, and his corporal staff expanded to more than 50,000, and he no longer obeyed Zhao Ji's orders.

At that time, Pharmacist Guo seemed to be a force of his own, and the tail was too big to fall, and Zhao Ji was ready to appease Pharmacist Guo, and he was ready to crown Pharmacist Guo as the king of Yan, and guard Yanyun for generations. However, Pharmacist Guo turned his head and descended the Jurchens again, attacking the city for the Jurchens.

Zheng Zhi naturally would not do this kind of thing to shoot himself in the foot, let alone give this Zhuozhou to Guo Yaoshi, Zhuozhou is the retreat of Zheng Zhi's army, how can it be given to a person who does not trust.

"Your Majesty's inscription is only to express the heart of benevolence, at the moment of this war, everything can only be rewarded after the war, whether the official can be reinstated, and look at Guo Yaoshi's own creation, if he has made meritorious deeds, it is naturally not difficult. and asked Pharmacist Guo to personally come to a big tent to descend. Zheng Zhi said.

When Zhen Wuchen heard this, his face immediately became ugly, he looked back behind him, and then said: "Zheng Xianggong, the Great Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette and righteousness, how can he go back on his word." My handsome man came here to surrender, but also in the Great Song Dynasty benevolence, if you can't keep the official position, I'm afraid... ”

Zhen Wuchen glanced behind him as he spoke, Zheng Zhi couldn't help but look at the two people who came in with Zhen Wuchen, and his eyes stayed on the bearded man behind him. When Yanjing is broken, a certain Hui army will go west to take Yizhou. The stakes are clear when you go back. ”

Zheng Zhi is not Zhao Ji, nor is he a general of the Great Song Dynasty who has been defeated repeatedly, and he does not rely on the power of outsiders, so Zheng Zhi naturally does not pay much attention to whether Guo Yaoshi surrenders or not. It is also impossible to promise much benefit to Pharmacist Guo. Not to mention the official position in Zhuozhou, it is impossible to give money, food, and ordnance.

When Zhen Wuchen heard this, he looked back again, not knowing what to say.

But it was Zheng Zhi who opened his mouth again and said: "Since you have come here, why hide your head and show your tail." ”

Zheng Zhi has already broken the matter. I saw the bearded man behind Zhen Wuchen take a few steps forward, and said: "Zheng Xianggong forgive Haihan, the last time he will come here, it is about his life, so he has to be cautious." The generals under the command of Zheng Xianggong are very good at fighting, and the last general also knows that Yanjing is under the attack of the north and the south, and it is difficult to protect the day and night. I only hope that Xianggong can stay in the army and lead his brothers to kill the enemy for my Great Song Dynasty, and I also hope that Zheng Xianggong will carry and lift him more. ”

Pharmacist Guo obviously came in person, and his courage was not small. But Zheng Zhi also saw through the traces. Since he saw through it, Pharmacist Guo also knew that he couldn't hide it, but it was impossible for Zheng Zhi to meet the conditions that he had originally thought of. The only way to retreat is to keep the subordinates under his command and leave a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Zheng Zhi laughed when he heard this, stood up, looked left and right, and said: "Mi Zhenwu, go to Lide, the position of the vanguard of the two of you is going to be Xian, so let General Guo lead the troops first." ”

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said: "Thank you Xianggong, the eight thousand soldiers under the Changsheng army will die for Xianggong." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded and replied: "Excellent, the battle of Yanjing is very important, and the siege vanguard will be paid to General Guo." He asked General Guo to go back quickly and bring his troops to join him overnight. After lunch tomorrow, he will march north with the army. ”

Hearing this, Pharmacist Guo nodded again and again, but his face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Xianggong, I don't know if I can send the last general's family out of Zhuozhou City, and I have already appeased the last general's apprehension." ”

Although Pharmacist Guo's words were empty, they also had a bit of a sense of grasp. But Zheng Zhi is not an outsider, and Guo Yaoshi at this time is completely at a disadvantage for Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi would not be as he intended.

"General Guo, rest assured, tomorrow you will bring your generals here, and the family will naturally reunite." Zheng Zhi said.

In the face of Zheng Zhi, who had just won a big victory at this time, Guo Yaoshi really had no capital to negotiate. Bow your head and bow again, get up and bow your hands again.

Zheng Zhi didn't say much, just waved his hand. Pharmacist Guo had to slowly turn around and get out of the big tent.

As soon as Pharmacist Guo left, Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xianggong, the student will go and send more people to search all the residents in the city." Hurry up and find out all the family members of Pharmacist Guo. ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said: "Remove all the people who are inspecting, and let them all have a good rest tonight, and ask Pharmacist Guo to go into the city to find it tomorrow." ”

Pharmacist Guo came out of the big tent, and while walking out, he looked left and right about the situation in the camp.

When he got out of the walled gate, Zhen Wuchen immediately spoke: "Dashuai, the Song people rebelled, if we attack the Song people's camp tonight, rescue the Dashuai's family, and lead the troops back to Yanjing, we will definitely be rewarded by Your Majesty." ”

Guo Yaoshi frowned, and said: "This time, I was ordered to come to the rescue of Zhuozhou, but I haven't arrived yet, but I don't want Zhuozhou to be broken in a battle. Thousands of Yelu Dashi iron horsemen were lost. You look at the Song people's camp, there are countless ironclad soldiers, and there are twenty or thirty generals in Zheng Zhi's big tent, all of whom look like tigers and wolves. We are only 8,000 soldiers, and most of them are foot soldiers, how can we attack this camp? ”

When Zhen Wuchen heard this, he said: "Dashuai, that is Yelu Dashi is useless. The corporals of my winning army are all soldiers of a hundred battles, you look at that Zheng Zhi, he looks proud, and he doesn't take us to heart. Attacking the camp tonight will inevitably attack it unprepared, not seeking victory or defeat, but only seeking to save the handsome family. Wouldn't it be a great achievement to lead the troops back to defend Yanjing like this? ”

Guo Yaoshi saw Zhen Wuchen's eyebrows fluttering when he said it, and said: "You really don't have a brain, you look back again, and see how big the Song people's camp is and how many people and horses are in it." Do you know who Zheng Zhi is? Hundreds of thousands of party troops were defeated by him, and the emperor of Western Xia was also captured by him. Do you say that Zheng Zhi is a good match? Even if, as you said, you were lucky enough to save your family today, and you said that I would wait to get Yanjing back? Zheng Zhi has thousands of iron armor under his command, trailing and covering up, how can he escape? This time Da Liao is at the end of the road, you and I know the power of the Jurchens, and now there is another tiger wolf Zheng Zhi, if you want to save your life, you must find a way back. Fortunately, we are all Han Chinese, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to ask for a way back. ”

Pharmacist Guo was able to keep his life in this troubled world, and he was able to be rich in three countries, because of his character of understanding current affairs. Now that Zheng Zhi is powerful, Pharmacist Guo can see it clearly.

When Zhen Wuchen heard this, he bowed his head and was silent, but he also knew that Pharmacist Guo was right. The three of them walked out of the camp not far away, joined a group of dozens of knights, and hurried west.

Chang Sheng's army was still a hundred miles away from Zhuozhou, and the scouts under Zheng Zhi's command did not go out of a hundred miles to the west, but more than a hundred miles to the north. If Pharmacist Guo wants to lead the army to arrive before noon tomorrow, it will take a lot of effort to come.

Early in the morning of the second day, in the middle of the city of Tokyo, on top of the arched hall, there was another court meeting.

The matter of the court discussion, first of all, the matter of sowing seeds in the spring in the south, this matter is related to this year's tax revenue, and it is related to the money and grain of the government treasury. Naturally, it was important, and after discussion, several angels were sent south to supervise.

After discussing the matter of the spring entrance examination again, it was finally the year of the Jinshi again. Arrange the main examiners and auxiliary officials, and the Ministry of Rites will also start to be busy. Zhou Bangyan is naturally also making preparations, but this week Bangyan reads hard every day, and he doesn't feel hard, and he reads at night with red sleeves and incense, and Rong Xiaorong is by his side, which is also a very enjoyable thing to think about.

After everything was discussed, Zhao Ji didn't say a few words, mainly Cai Jing presided over the arrangement, and Zhao Ji nodded.

Then he was about to retreat from the court, but Zhao Ji suddenly asked: "Cai You has come back in the past few days, why is there no news about the affairs of the north?" Zheng Zhi has already led the troops back to Hebei? ”

Cai Jing's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have been worried about this matter in the past two days, and they originally planned to wait for two more days, but they didn't want Your Majesty to ask first." The minister also has many doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that the courtier Cai You will not be so ignorant and ignorant. Maybe things are a bit repetitive and unpredictable. Master Tong didn't come back, I'm afraid there was something strange about it. This time, only the news from Hebei came back. ”

Zhao Ji was furious when he heard this, and he was inexplicably a little weak in his heart, and said angrily: "How can this be true, Cai You didn't come back, it must be that things in the north are not in order, and I think Zheng Zhi must not have returned with his troops." So Tong Guan didn't dare to play, Cai You probably took people in Cangzhou. ”

Cai Jing saw Zhao Ji's angry appearance, and hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I want to come to Zheng Zhi's family on the way to Beijing." Cai You is probably in Cangzhou, so he can also control the general's family. Master Tong didn't play, probably as His Majesty said, Zheng Zhi was only afraid that he was still in the Liao Realm. Thinking that Tong Guan also informed Zheng Zhi of this matter, the life of the family, then Zheng Zhi would definitely not dare to disobey. Your Majesty is relieved, in two days, there will definitely be a report back. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his anger did not decrease, and he said: "Rebel ministers and thieves, how can you sit back and wait for such a rebellious matter." Quickly sent Qin to Hebei with the gold medal of the holy decree, and ordered Tong Guan to quickly take Zheng Zhi's dismissal and go to Beijing for trial. ”

When Cai Jing heard this, he was overjoyed, but there was no wave on the surface, and he said: "Your Majesty, the army is outside, if you dismiss the commander before the battle, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the army." And ask Zheng Zhi to return to Beijing to report on his work, and it is not too late to ask him for his guilt when he arrives in Tokyo. ”

Cai Jing's words are naturally reasonable, and they also avoid directly causing turmoil in the army. Cai Jing thought in his heart, if Zheng Zhi was directly shackled and chained in the army, if Zheng Zhi led his henchmen to resist the disrespect, it would be impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to mutiny, but even if Zheng Zhi fell into the grass and became a coward, or surrendered the Liao. That's more than worth the loss.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji couldn't listen to Cai Jing's words at all, and said again: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, quickly draft an order, take Zheng Zhi to be dismissed from his post and investigated, and return to Beijing for trial." ”

Zhao Ji's words only showed the weakness of the Zhao family in the Great Song Dynasty. A weak heart that is extremely distrustful of the leader of the army.

This is also the main reason why there will be eunuchs in the Song Dynasty who will be in charge of military power for 20 years.

When Cai Jing heard this, he also knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to bow down.

Zhao Ji had already brushed his sleeves away, and the sound of the eunuch retreating from the court was heard.

At this point, the matter has been discussed in the city. In Tokyo, it's all over the place.

Zheng Zhi, who suppressed the Song River in Hebei Hubaoyi, destroyed the Shenggong Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Western Xia, the country of the dead party, led his troops to the north to attack Liao, and in a blink of an eye, he became a rebel.

Millions of people in Tokyo, everyone is talking about it, and everyone is sighing. sighed that the world is changeable, and also said that a gentleman is like a tiger, and a gentleman is like a tiger, and sure enough.
