Chapter 118 The pharmacist gambles on his life
"Big brother, what can you do alone" Zhao Heshou hurriedly grabbed him, "Wait for us to gather our subordinates"
Pharmacist Guo scolded: "Why can't you understand? Xiao Gan is testing a certain loyalty to him, if he waits for him to enter the city tomorrow morning to greet him, a hundred heads are not enough to cut off."
Zhen Wuchen pondered a little taste and came out, "What's the matter, if you go to Xiao Gan's big tent like this, he can believe you and let us go?" ”
There was a bitterness in Guo Yaoshi's heart, Xiao Gan would never trust himself if he was such a powerful person. But now, can I not go? Knowing that Xiao Gan is coming, he doesn't care if he doesn't want to see him, what will be the nature? What would Xiao Gan think? And what will be done?
Needless to say, the matter of communication between himself and the Southern Dynasties has leaked, it doesn't matter, no one is clean these days. But in the past two months, he has expanded by more than 2,000 people, and it is a bit too much to say that he recruits troops and horses but does not fight.
On the Yizhou side, the Shi family father and son expanded their troops by 4,000, which occupied Baozhou Xiongzhou, and as a result, after two battles, the old history was hanged. There are only three juniors left in Yizhou, and the player's wine can't become the climate.
Xiao Gan won't cut off XX's head this time, because he wants Nanren to cut off XX's head for him!
"Faith, go; If you don't believe it, you have to go! Guo Yaoshi muttered, "We fight like this, can we still escape with a knife in the end?" ”
turned over the horse, threw a tiger talisman to Zhen Wuchen, and threw down a sentence: "Wuchen, the personal guards of the tune guard guard the two gatehouses and the military barracks, if there is anyone who trespasses, kill!" ”
Zhen Wuchen knew in his heart that this Guo Yaoshi's personal guard was the elite of the resentful army, and he dispatched today to suppress the spies in Zhuozhou City, so as to prevent Xiao Ganli from breaking the city and seizing the army.
The reason why it was handed over to himself was because Zhao Heshou had too many troops, and Guo Yaoshi adopted a balancing strategy, as long as Zhao Heshou and Zhen Wuchen were not chaotic, Zhuozhou would be as stable as Mount Tai.
As soon as Zhen Wuchen agreed, he went to transfer troops and generals, and dispatched more than 1,000 foot soldiers from his own family to the three military camps in the city to cooperate with the guards to block the traffic in the city.
The personal guards of 1,500 people, black armor, equipment, combat effectiveness, and loyalty are the highest, and they are ruthless to other resentful troops. Especially tonight is an extraordinary time, and some casual resentful soldiers have just become soldiers, and they don't take the guards seriously.
There was even a barracks that mobilized more than 50 people to storm the guard gate of the guard.
The head of Guo's personal guard scolded "Look for death, let go and cut it" In an instant, a piece of knife light shone, and then all of them were cut, and none of them survived.
In troubled times, these more than 50 people obviously went out on the road, but in less than a quarter of an hour, they were slaughtered by more than 20 personal guards. There are people in the camp who see the ruthlessness of the guards, and they are definitely not opponents, so they have to wait for the opportunity.
With these 1,500 people, Guo Yaoshi can suppress the other people, and in order to ensure that he has a transcendent position in the resentful army, he needs to spend 100,000 yuan every year to support this team.
After killing in the city, it quieted down, and Zhen Wuchen and Zhao Heshou gathered in the North Gate Tower. Looking at Xiao Gan's big tent, there was a little fire and a lot of people, I don't know how the two talked.
Zhao Heshou said suddenly: "It's all about gambling on your life!" ”
Zhen Wuchen shook his head, this is a simple gamble, this is clearly a bet on the future of Yanjing. No matter how you look at it, in the future, Yanjing will definitely not be a Khitan. In this case, for Xiao Gan, it doesn't make much difference whether he kills or not Guo Yaoshi.
After leaving the city alone, Pharmacist Guo went straight to Xiao Gan's camp.
Xiao Gan's big tent was in the center, and there was a fire pit burned by the Khitan army on all sides, and most of the soldiers were leaning on each other to sleep by the fire pit. Those who didn't sleep poked the beef and mutton on the branches and roasted them, and there were a few places where they drank wine and sang old songs that mocked people.
The Khitans were nomadic in nature, but they were too close to each other and were swallowed up by the Central Plains culture, and because they changed too quickly, many problems erupted in a concentrated manner.
Xiao Gan is helpless about this, don't look at the current dignitaries and nobles in Yanjing, counting up to three generations, they must all be gnawing sand on the prairie.
In the past 100 years, the Khitan ethnic groups have gone from living in grass with nothing to magnificent palace buildings, from drinking blood to brocade clothes and jade food, and the consequence of the great abundance of materials is that the whole clan has lost its way.
You don't have to fight with heaven and earth, you don't have to resist black and white disasters, you can resist for a day by eating a piece of cheese. Now, I continue to drink and meat all day long, but my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I can't ride a fast horse or walk a journey. Xiao Gan sighed, "A nation without a sense of crisis generally doesn't end very well!" ”
"The subordinate Zhuozhou is in charge of Pharmacist Guo, and he meets the king of the North Courtyard" After the ceremony, Pharmacist Guo waited at the door of the tent. These Xi elites looked at their eyes, and said clearly, "We have long known about your rebellion, go back and prepare for war!" ”
As soon as the door curtain was raised, Xiao Gan personally greeted him, "Guo Duguan, Zhuozhou's safety is at stake, so you don't have to come at night."
"The king is above, the Southern Dynasty soldiers are wide, the pharmacist is walking on thin ice, dare not tremble", Guo Pharmacist stepped forward and fell to the ground, grabbing the ground again and again, "Now the king is in Zhuo City and does not enter, it is the pharmacist's sin, but ask for heavy punishment!" ”
When Xiao Gan saw it, he laughed, stretched out his hand to help Guo Yaoshi up, and led him into the big tent, "It's not that I'm afraid of you Zhuozhou Longtan Tiger's Den, I'm afraid that once I enter the city, some people in the Changsheng army can't help it, and they want to jump out, hurting you and me for many years."
Guo Yaoshi looked at Xiao Gan in confusion, and at this time, Xiao Gan proposed that there were unstable elements in his subordinates, which meant that there was going to be a big purge. I don't know how to wash it, who is washing it off?
Syllable! Xiao Gan threw over a file, and Pharmacist Guo opened it, and there were a few tens of materials in it. All of them are first-hand information about Guo Yaoshi and his main subordinates violating laws and disciplines, bending the law for bribes, expanding the army without permission, framing Zhongliang, and colluding with enemy countries, and the evidence is detailed.
Instead, Pharmacist Guo let it go, and asked in a calm tone, "King, I'm afraid that these files are inconvenient for my subordinates to watch, right?" ”
"So, it's all the truth, and I didn't wronged you, right?"
"Although it is not complete, ninety-eight is not far from ten, but with the king's disposal, the pharmacist will never complain!"
"Oh" Xiao Gan was deliberately surprised, "Guo Duguan, how should I deal with it according to the law?" ”
"I don't know if it's according to the law of the Great King or the law of the Great Liao Kingdom?" Pharmacist Guo rolled his eyes and continued, "If you follow the king's consistent practice, your subordinates should atone for their sins!" ”
Xiao Gan smiled and asked, "Guo Duguan, let's talk about it, how can you atone for your sins?" ”
"That subordinate is bold and presumptuous" Guo Yaoshi seized the opportunity, "In the place of the four attacks of Nanjing Dao, the Jurchen south is the most urgent. However, the villains of the Southern Dynasty took advantage of the danger and mobilized a large army to the north, intending to attack from the north to the south. ”
"However, if the Southern Dynasty is weak, if Zhuoyi and the two states are not down, the southern line will be stable, and if the Zhuoyi and two states are broken, then Yanjing can be lowered. The subordinates implore the king to grant the authority to command the two states of Zhuoyi, and the pharmacist will immediately attack instead of defend, and the troops will enter the two states to protect the two states,"
