Chapter 728: Soldiers Coming to the City (2)

Guo Ziyi's camp.

From Guo Ziyi onwards, the faces of all the generals are not good-looking. Kong Sheng's 50,000 allied troops suddenly arrived, ignoring Guo Ziyi's request for a unified deployment of troops, refusing to join forces with Guo's department, and instead garrisoning another army - setting up a camp in the southwest of Bianzhou City, which was far away from Bianzhou City and Guo Ziyi's camp.

After arriving in Bianzhou, Kong Sheng did not make any moves. Except for the faint sound of military horses practicing and fighting in the Kong camp, there was no sign of helping Guo Ying's attack on Bianzhou.

In the past two days, Guo Ying fought with the defenders of Bianzhou repeatedly, and Guo Ziyi even personally deployed a surprise attack on the city, but it was unsuccessful because of the strong defenders of Bianzhou City, and there were many injuries.

The successive sieges failed one after another, which directly caused the soldiers of Guo Ying to be upset and restless. However, Kong Sheng's garrison was here, but he did not help Guo Ying's army and horses to attack Bianzhou City, which made Guo Ying's generals indignant.

Kong Sheng: What is this? Watching the excitement? Watching from the sidelines? Pressing the array?

Guo Yao clenched his fists and bowed and said coldly: "Father, my son thinks that he should send someone to send a message to King Kong Jun as soon as possible, asking him to merge with our army and attack Bianzhou together, instead of being stationed outside Bianzhou City and watching our army fight with Bianzhou!" ”

Fugu Huaien also arched his hand and said: "Marshal, the last general thinks that what Gongzi said is reasonable. Now that the Jiangnan Army has arrived in Bianzhou, they are also soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and King Kong Jun cannot sit idly by and watch our army attack Bianzhou for a long time, and damage the troops in vain! ”

Guo Ziyi sighed lightly: "Ben Shuai has no authority to order King Kongjun. In terms of titles, ranks, and military power, he is above me. Besides, the emperor ordered us to wait for the three-way army to attack Luoyang, each into a system, and directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, how do you ask the commander to ask the king of Kong Jun to send troops? ”

Guo Yao said angrily: "In this case, father, why did they lead the army to Bianzhou, is it just to see the excitement of our army?" ”

The generals also began to quarrel, Guo Ziyi looked around at everyone, and there was a helpless wry smile on the corner of her mouth. Even if these generals under him reduced Kong Sheng to a puddle of mud, it would be useless. He didn't know much about Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng's style of doing things and personal style, he had only heard of it, and he hadn't met face-to-face in Chang'an a few times.

But to say that he went to order Kong Sheng to lead the army to attack the city, he did not have this authority. is also the commander of the first army, and the other party is also a feudal town of the county king and the commander-in-chief of the two important military and political affairs, and the position of power is above him.

At this time, the pro-soldiers came to report: "Marshal Qiyu, the king of Jiangning County, the envoy of the two provinces of Jiangnan and Shannan, the chief of the two marches, holding the double festival and the double festival, the hussar general Kong Sheng has arrived!" ”

The pro-soldiers announced all of Kong Sheng's positions in a row, which was the rule of officialdom, because Kong Sheng was dressed in official robes and came to visit officially. Other positions are fine, but the last section, the hussar general with double knots, made Guo Ziyi and his generals secretly awe-inspiring when they heard it.

Only then did they realize that Kong Sheng's power absolutely needed them to look up to. The Double Festival is not something that can be obtained in ordinary feudal towns. The emperor actually gave this Kong Sheng such a heavy power and supreme glory, which made many people dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say it.

Whether they look down on Kong Sheng or not, Kong Sheng's current power is definitely above tens of thousands of people under the emperor alone, and no one in the court can reach it. In terms of rank and military power, he is only slightly higher than Guo Ziyi by half a level, but he is generally comparable, and he can hold double knots, but he is not comparable to Guo Ziyi. In other words, Kong Sheng, who has the right to control Guo Ziyi, has the authority to control Guo Ziyi in a sense.

Moreover, Kong Sheng has absolute power to appoint, dismiss, and punish the generals under his command, which is also incomparable to Guo Ziyi. If Guo Ziyi wants to deal with a certain general, especially a high-ranking general, he must report to the imperial court for approval. Although he was a marshal, his powers were extremely limited.

For example, in the face of Fugu Huai'en, Guo Ziyi can let him "suspend his post", but he can't hold him accountable. Kong Sheng is different, Kong Sheng can directly report to the imperial court after asking Gu Huaien for his crimes.

Guo Ziyi took a deep breath and waved his hand: "You and the others will go out with Ben Shuai to greet you!" ”

Outside the Big Tent.

Kong Sheng was dressed in a purple royal robe and a golden crown, refreshed and graceful. Behind him, one of the two of them was holding the sword of Shang Fang, and the other was holding an edict symbolizing the emperor's authority to grant Shuangjing and Shuangjie. And Li Biao and Li Hu, the two tiger generals, led dozens of guards to defend them.

Guo Ziyi glanced at Kong Sheng, smiled slightly, and bowed his hand and said: "Guo has seen the king of the county, and he is late to greet him, and he also asks the king of the county to forgive his sins!" ”

Kong Sheng stared deeply at this famous general and historical celebrity. Guo Ziyi is a loyal and good general who will go down in history, and he is also Kong Sheng's introducer, and he has a respect for Guo Ziyi Kong Sheng. He smiled and returned the salute to Guo Ziyi: "Guo Linggong is polite, Kong took the liberty to visit, and asked Mo Wei to disturb him." ”

Guo Ziyi smiled slightly and nodded: "The king of the county, please come in!" ”

Kong Sheng walked in slowly. Wu Xian and Wu Xie followed closely behind, while Li Biao and Li Hu led the escort army to guard the outside of the tent. Seeing that Kong Sheng was so particular about pomp, Guo Yao, Fugu Huaien and others had a slight disdain, but of course they couldn't show it.

After entering the big tent, the guests and hosts sat down. Guo Ziyi said with a smile: "Guo is looking for an opportunity to visit the king of the county, but now our army is in the middle of a war with Sun Qing in Bianzhou, and I don't have any leisure." Since the county king is in person, Guo has to ask: I don't know where the county king bypassed Qishui City and camped in Bianzhou? ”

Kong Sheng smiled: "Kong heard that Guo Linggong has been attacking Bianzhou for a long time, so he came to help!" ”

As soon as Kong Sheng said this, Guo Yao and the other generals couldn't help but sneer lowly. It's nice to say, but it's not really action! Besides, where did this Kong Sheng come to help take Bianzhou, it was clear that he was here to hide behind Guo Ying, so that the Xuzhou army could charge first, with ill intentions, and he was even ashamed to speak loudly? !

Guo Ziyi sighed: "The defense of Bianzhou City is profound, and Sun Qing led 50,000 troops to be stationed in it, and it has been prepared for a long time, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Guo had attacked the city several times, he still returned in vain. Since the king of the county wants to help Guo to attack the city, then ......"

Guo Ziyi's blazing gaze was projected at Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng's eyes froze: "Guo Linggong, in fact, in Kong's opinion, it is easy to take Bianzhou!" ”

The corners of Guo Ziyi's mouth twitched, and she said in her heart, you have ...... big words Is this a bold statement or a deliberate remark? Guo someone can't attack for a long time, but you have a sentence that it is easy to take Bianzhou? Do you show it to the old man? Or mock the old man for not having the ability to take Bianzhou?

However, Guo Ziyi is a generous person, and he is very lofty, so he naturally will not be serious with Kong Sheng in this detail. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not show it to his face.

But Guo Ziyi's subordinates all showed indignation.

In the end, it was the deputy general Gu Huaien who couldn't help it, and said coldly: "The county king's words are quite light!" Bianzhou city defense is profound, Bianzhou defenders 50,000, and the elite of the Fanyang army, in the city to prevent our army from going north, whether it is grain and grass or baggage, are prepared for a long time, prepared, if they can't hold out, don't say a short time, it is difficult to overcome for a year and a half! ”

Kong Sheng smiled, looked at Fugu Huaien and said, "May I ask the general's surname?" ”

In fact, Kong Sheng had already guessed the identity and origin of Fugu Huaien. Most of the generals around Guo Ziyi are people with names and surnames in history books, and Kong Sheng has naturally done his homework a long time ago.

Fugu Huaien is also a famous military general in the Tang Dynasty, and as Guo Ziyi's deputy general, his rank is not low. He said awe-inspiringly: "In the subordinate Gu Huai'en, add Guo Linggong deputy general!" ”

Kong Sheng sighed, but there was a certain playfulness in his eyes. Naturally, he is also a historical celebrity, and he is no stranger. This person is a member of the Tiele tribe and the hereditary governor of Jinwei. The Fugu family is one of the nine surnames of Tiele "Fugu Department", Fugu Huaien is the grandson of Fugu Leader Servant Gu Song Abuse Yan, Zhenguan 20 years, Tiele Nine Surname Leader led the troops to the Tang Dynasty. Fugu Huaien is the only general of the Servant Bone tribe since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

In the early stage, Fugu Huaien served as the left military envoy of Shuofang, brave and resolute, and repeatedly made military exploits. However, in the later period, it colluded with the invasion of Tibet and Huifu, which led to the fall of Chang'an again and the destruction of thousands of lives. Although the rebellion of Fugu Huai'en in the later period was due to the factor of being framed by the eunuch Luo Fengxian, in fact he became a traitor. What made Kong Sheng despicable the most was that he actually colluded with the foreign races of Tubo and Hui to plunder the Central Plains.

His exploits in following Guo Ziyi to quell the rebellion are compared with his great mistake in seducing foreign enemies and alien races to trouble the Central Plains, or the latter is enough to make him stint for thousands of years.

Kong Sheng waved his hand: "It turned out to be General Fugu, Kong Mou has admired his name for a long time!" The reason why Kong said that it was easy to take Bianzhou was naturally because of Kong's reasons. ”

Fugu Huaien pursed his lips, and before he could speak, Guo Yao stood up and said coldly: "Why don't you say the reason of the county king, let the last general and others learn it?" Or, why didn't King Kong personally lead the Jiangnan Army to attack Bianzhou and take Bianzhou, let me wait to see what the King of the County is capable of? ”

Wu Xian saw that the generals under Guo Ziyi's command showed unkind expressions, and Fugu Huaien and Guo Yao were even more disrespectful, and their words were more provocative, and they said angrily: "Presumptuous, you dare to be disrespectful to the king of the county!" ”

Fugu Huaien is also a general of Li Tang, a senior general, and his reputation and power are among the best. How could he put Wuxian as a general of Kong Sheng's protector in his eyes, and couldn't help but look coldly when he heard the words: "My generation is just telling the truth, why is it disrespectful to the king of the county?" Now that the king of the county is discussing the big tent with Guo Shuai and me, you are a guard, and you dare to make nonsense, which is simply rude! Someone, expel him from the tent to General Ben! ”

Fugu Huaien burst into tears, and Guo Ziyi's pro-army swarmed in, and they were about to drive Wu Xian out of the tent.

Guo Yao is Guo Ziyi's eldest son, and his status in Guo Ying's army is also very high. The Guo family is the family of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Yao, as the eldest son of the Guo family, will naturally inherit Guo Ziyi's title in the future, he does not dare to speak ill of Kong Sheng in person, but he does not have a good face for Wu Xian. Guo Yao snorted: "Do the minions around the county king dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of the marshal?" ”

Kong Sheng's face became gloomy. Wu Xian is also a general canonized by the imperial court, and he is also his confidant, this servant Gu Huaien dared to expel Wu Xian in front of him, Guo Yao also publicly accused Sang and scolded Huai, which at least shows that these generals of the Guo Department did not take him as the king of the county in their eyes at all.

When he came to visit Guo Ziyi this time, he naturally wanted to discuss with Guo Ziyi to jointly attack Bianzhou, strive to take Bianzhou as soon as possible, and then divide the troops into two ways and approach Luoyang. But his strategy for taking the city has not yet been spoken, and these generals under Guo Ziyi have made a sneer, which makes his originally excellent mood a little bad.

"Fugu Huai'en, you are so bold that you dare to expel this king's general in front of this king! Wu Xian is not a servant of the king, but a general from the fourth rank of Xuanwei canonized by the imperial court! Kong Sheng sat there with an indifferent expression, waved his hand and said: "You all listen to this king, whoever dares to act rashly, this king will use Shang Fang's sword to cut off his dog's head, don't believe it, you can try it!" ”

"Take the sword of Shang Fang!" Kong Sheng burst out.

Wu Xian sneered and handed the Shang Fang sword in his arms to Kong Sheng. Kong Sheng got up slowly, looked around at the generals with his sword, and said coldly: "Even if you are the generals under Guo Shuai, but Kong holds His Majesty's edict, double festivals, and you are disrespectful to this king, it is offensive to Tianwei, you have to think clearly!" ”

Kong Sheng's deep gaze was projected on Guo Yao's body, and he said coldly: "Guo Yao, this king thinks that you are the son of Guo Linggong, and he will not be sorry for your offense and provocation, but if you dare to speak wildly again, this king will hold the sword of Shang Fang and kill you on the spot!" ”

Kong Sheng respects Guo Ziyi, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate Guo Ziyi's son riding on his head to and pee.

Guo Ziyi was also a little unhappy. In his opinion, Kong Sheng was bullying people, relying on the emperor's Shangfang sword and Shuangjing Shuangjie, and came to his army to make trouble unreasonably. He secretly glanced at Fugu Huaien, who understood and stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "The king of the county is angry." We have no disrespect for the king. It's just that the king of the county said that it is easy to take Bianzhou, and the general is really unimpressed......"

"Now that our army is in war with Bianzhou, the military situation is urgent, if the county king has nothing important, please go back to the camp and rest."

Fugu Huaien was instructed by Guo Ziyi and began to issue an eviction order.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth, he originally wanted to tell the people of the Guo family about the strategy of taking the city, but obviously people did not welcome him, since this was the case, he didn't bother to say anything more. It's better to go back and take Bianzhou City alone, and see what else Guo Ziyi and these people have to say?

Kong Sheng's face was indifferent, and he got up and was about to brush his sleeves away.

But at this moment, the military drums in Guo's camp were thundering, the military horn sounded throughout the army, and the sentry Pegasus called for warning in the camp: "The thief army is out of the city to fight!" ”

Guo Ziyi and the others were startled at first, and then became excited. For a long time, Sun Qing's men and horses have been closed, relying on the high and deep city to hold on, but now they have taken the initiative to go out of the city to fight, which is definitely a good sign in Guo Ziyi's opinion.

He is not afraid to fight with Fan Yangjun, but Fan Yangjun insists on defending the city, so he really has no way to take Bianzhou.
