"Pharmacist Guo, do you recognize me" Xu Wei looked at the dejected in front of him. Reduced to an old enemy, he asked with a smile.

The pharmacist's face was not very good, as if he was injured. The robes were still stained with blood. A pair of eyes that were originally full of anger were also distracted at this time, and they didn't look at each other at all and whispered: "I recognize, you are Xu Wei." ”

Seeing him react like this, Xu Wei was a little disappointed. Regardless of whether Guo Yaoshi turned his face without kindness or betrayed his promises, but in history, when the Jin army attacked Yanshan, he at least led his troops out of the city to fight. Later, because his subordinates were the first to flee, his troops were defeated, and then they surrendered to the Jurchens. Based on this, it doesn't matter what kind of character he has. At least he can be regarded as a battle-hardened general. In Xu Wei's opinion. A person like this, even if he is really exhausted, at least he should have a little bit of bearing. But the pharmacist Guo in front of him is really,

"The year before last, you persuaded me to surrender on the Purple Mountain pontoon, what do you say now?" Xu Wei asked again.

sighed. Pharmacist Guo finally came up with some temperament: "It's useless to talk more, just ask for a whole corpse, and the pharmacist is grateful." ”

"You're thinking too simply." Xu Wei sneered, and asked him to be escorted down. He turned around and asked Ma Kuo how to capture this traitor? When he heard that Guo Yaoshi was extremely brave, that the soldiers of the righteous army were unstoppable, and that it was the owner of the village who personally injured him, he couldn't help but pay more attention to Ma Kuo. I learned that Ma Kuo was born in martial arts. He once served as the defense envoy of Hezhou, and when he lived in the fifth rank. He even got up and bowed and took the gift of his juniors.

After greeting for a while, the banquet has been prepared, and he wants to celebrate the achievements of the Hujie soldiers. But Xu Wei politely declined, saying that the captain was still leading the army behind. Tokyo is also anxious to wait for news, and it is inconvenient to delay military affairs, so it can only be accepted with good intentions. Ma Kuo was not reluctant, so he sent Xu Wei down the mountain.

Out of the "Zuchitang" Xu Ma and the two walked in front, the generals of the righteous army and Hujie Jun'an followed, and the strong Hujie soldiers escorted Guo Yaoshi to follow.

"Don't worry, my lord, after the class teacher, I will truthfully play the role of the lord to capture the pharmacist, and I will also report the situation of the Hebei righteous army to the imperial court according to the truth." Xu Wei thought that Guo Yaoshi was in great trouble, and the court and the opposition of the Great Song Dynasty hated this person to the core. Arresting him is a great achievement, but don't let people think that my Xu family wants to be greedy for heaven and think it is for themselves.

Unexpectedly, when Ma Kuo heard this, he looked serious: "This point, please ask Commander Xu to conceal it for me." Don't let the rulers know that I'm in Wuma Mountain. ”

This is strange, you were originally a fifth-grade official of the imperial court, but you can be regarded as a military minister above the middle level. has this ability again, and the court is the time to employ people, you will definitely be reused after you go back. How? Do you really plan to be the owner of this mountain for the rest of your life? Therefore, Xu Wei asked, "Why is this?" ”

Ma Kuo smiled slightly and sighed lightly, but did not answer.

"My lord, I would like to be blunt. This place is not far from Zhending, not a place to stay for a long time. This time, the Jurchen southern invasion was frustrated, and it is estimated that the strategy will be changed. When the time comes, you will be the brunt of the five-horse mountain stopper. Although Xu Wei's words are not very clear, they are the truth. If it weren't for the high opinion of Ma Kuo, he would definitely not export easily.

Ma Kuowen heard this. Looking at Xu Wei for a while, he asked casually, "Tell me, how will the Jurchens change their strategy?" ”

Xu Wei didn't know much about Ma Kuo's resume, so he said: "Humble duties are also casual

Seeing that he didn't want to speak directly, Ma Kuo didn't mind, he walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back, and said in front of him: "You don't want to say that I said, have you ever eaten white flour buns?" ”

"I've eaten it." Xu Wei nodded.

"I can't swallow a bite of steamed buns, one is hot, and the other is afraid of choking. You have to eat one bite at a time, not too fast, you have to chew slowly, and then serve it with broth to get the taste and not hurt your stomach. Ma Kuo's tone, how to listen to it, is like teaching the juniors.

Xu Wei listened carefully and praised: "Incisive." ”

"Now, Da Song is a piece of steamed bun. The Jurchens tried to swallow it twice in a row, but choked half to death. It's not. And let you break a big tooth on this stone. After going back, I think it is necessary to find another way to change the whale swallowing to encroachment. If you don't believe it, wait and see, within three or five years, the Jin army will not invade the south on a large scale. Ma Kuo talked eloquently, just like gossip, but he had clearly outlined the situation of Song Jin, this talent was not under any civil and military forces in Tokyo!

Xu Wei was not in a hurry to leave, so he simply stopped, hugged his fists and asked: "Dare to ask, according to the opinion of adults, from now on, within three or five years." How do Song Jin get along with each other? ”

Ma Kuo glanced at him and smiled mysteriously, "I really want to know?" ”

"Humble and sincere." Xu Wei's face was sincere.

"Okay, your name as a purple tiger is really typed, unlike that class of people who talk about it and are greedy for life and afraid of death. I'll just let you know. Now in the land of the two rivers, the imperial court has lost control. What do you think. After the strike, will Tokyo still have the ability to control Hedong and Hebei? Ma Kuo asked.

Xu Wei didn't think about it, and shook his head directly. Now the reality of Tokyo is not clear, Chi has the river defeat division plus the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and now there will be no enemy to fight only one, although the Western Army has come with 80,000 people. But don't forget, party members are not decorations. After the celebration is celebrated and the reward is awarded, where will the Western Army go back. There are so many people left who want to reorganize the defense of the two rivers? That's a fool's dream, especially in Hebei, where the terrain is flat, and the Jurchens can come and go if they want.

"That's right, the Jurchens will first stabilize the area they have occupied, that is, the east and west roads of Hebei. Hedong, may not be able to eat for the time being. Therefore, in the short term, there were only local disputes between Song and Jin, and there was no full-scale war. As far as I suspect, it won't be long before the Jurchens will continue to tighten their grip on Hebei and then repeat their old tricks. Sending envoys to the case has only one purpose" Ma Kuo said this, and deliberately paused for a moment.

Xu Wei's expression was no longer so natural: "Seek the legitimacy of the occupation of Hebei." "It's not difficult to understand, where is the fiercest trouble in the world? Push Hebei! The people of Hebei have always been tough and will not give in easily, and if the Jin army wants to gain a foothold in Hebei, they must make Tokyo recognize Hebei as their territory. Once the Tokyo court nodded this, Jin Guo could be the master of ceremonies in Hebei in a straightforward manner, and the thoughts of the people of Hebei would be broken.

"Yes, once the Jin army has gained a foothold in Hebei, take the Central Plains, such as exploring the bag and taking things. At that time, all the way out of Shaanxi, all the way across the Yellow River, half of the country will be handed over. Finish! When Ma Kuo said this, he seemed to deliberately raise his voice, and there was a little smile on his face. But no matter how Xu Wei listened, he felt that he was angry when he said this. Who is he gambling with?

Tentatively asked, "Then, as the Lord said, shouldn't we just sit and wait for death?" ”

"What else else?" Ma Kuo looked directly at him and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Wei chuckled: "I always believe that things are man-made. There is no such thing as being invincible in the world, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, who is afraid of whom? ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence attracted Ma Kuo's sneer: "If everyone thinks like you, let alone blocking the gold thief, even Yanyun's homeland has been recovered!" Those people in the court, if they want to talk about loyalty and righteousness and the world, they are like a river. The knowledge is endless! Once the matter comes to an end, it will suddenly become a tree to be mushy and scattered. When the Jin soldiers went south, when the emperor made a southern tour, the ministers of the court and the central government fled with them, and there were five or six out of ten! Don't these people know what the loss of the Central Plains means to our dynasty? They know better than you and me! What can be done? Without hesitation, he ran away with his tail between his legs! Straight sissy thief! Let this year, nearly eighty, the last years of the wind and candle to wear the armor again! Damn,"

The voice stopped abruptly, Ma Kuo's chest heaved and his emotions were unstable. Taking a hard breath, he said again: "Xu Jiu, I see it too clearly, I don't have any hope." No matter how hard you and my peers try to die, the result is already doomed! Do you know how the Jurchens fought wars? Their household registration is called "Meng'an Moke", whether they go out to fight or garrison, they all use this as a unit, that is called all the people are soldiers! If the battle is won, the soldier can not only grab the goods, but also the woman, but also get the reward. Land. If it were you and me, wouldn't you fight to the death? What's more, in the court of the Jin Kingdom, those who have the right to speak are all battle-hardened generals! Tell me, how to fight this battle? ”

He had adjusted his mood. At first, his tone became softer, but later, he became more and more excited, and he danced a little. The spit almost splashed on Xu Wei's face.

Xu Wei does not belong to this era after all. He couldn't fully understand the mood of a military minister like Ma Kuo, but it was not difficult to see the clue from Yue Fei's allusions. These people are actually the most simple patriots, and their patriotic enthusiasm is stronger than anyone else. But for various reasons, heroes are useless, so they can only complain, pessimistic and disappointed.

Seeing that his mood calmed down a little, Xu Wei asked again: "Is there really no way?" ”

Ma Kuo glanced at him and turned his head. It's like saying to yourself: "How can there be no way?" The strong and weak situation has always been one and the other, as long as the strategy is appropriate, the top and bottom are united, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed. Not to mention now, even if it really gets to the point where the two rivers are lost and Tokyo falls, I still have a way! But,"

At this point, he did not want to open his mouth again, no matter what temptations he had.

Xu Wei knew what he was saying.

I just have a plan, but what is the use of the people sitting on the golden temple not coming to ask me? Even if it's me running to cry blood and read a book. People won't take you seriously. Even if he wanted to, what about the class of deacon?

This person has seen above me, and if I can find him, if I don't say that great things will be done, at least I will have an eyebrow. With this thought in mind, Xu Wei said softly: "Even if the two rivers are lost, Tokyo will fall." Isn't Shaanxi still there? The name of the Western Army's strong army has been passed on for a hundred years, and it is still close to the country of abundance

Ma Kuo turned his head and looked at the junior in front of him from head to toe again, hey, it's evil. Although this kid only knows the skin, it's still good to think in this direction!
