As Guo Wei previously commented, Wang Jun and Wang Xiufeng are unruly and speak harshly, but they have some real skills under their hands. www.biquge.info When everyone else was focusing on how to defeat Zhao Yanshou on the battlefield, he had already set his sights thousands of miles away, and poked at the opponent's death hole with one move.

"Brother Xiufeng is really powerful, if this plan is successful, not only will Zhao Yanshou himself be ruined, but those who are disdainful of thieves and fathers will probably be in danger in the future!" After listening to Wang Xiufeng's plan, Zheng Renzhi's spirit was greatly lifted. slapped twice and praised loudly.

"That's nature. When Wang planned this matter, Zhao Yanshou was not the only one who wanted to do it!" Wang Jun was really not modest, and his mouth instantly turned into a figure of eight, echoing each other with his eyebrows.

"Brother Xiufeng, you ...... , alas!" For Wang Jun's flamboyant character, Guo Wei has no way at all. Shaking his head and pondering for a moment, he finally decided to take matters into account, "Your plan is very good, but several key links are outside the battlefield. If it is reported to His Majesty, it will be repeatedly discussed by the Division, and then handed over to the Secret Spy Division for execution. I'm afraid the water won't quench my thirst......"

"Which one said that you want to play the Ming Emperor first?" Wang Jun rolled his eyes and said with a sneer: "At this time, I don't know how many people in the court are secretly dealing with the Khitan, and playing this plan to the Ming Emperor is equivalent to directly telling the Khitan people what you and I are planning." Besides, the secret spy department has just been replaced by Li Ye in charge, if he can do the right thing, the rooster will have to lay eggs!"

Although the words are sour and cold, they are all true. Liu Zhiyuan's Great Han State had just been established, and many important positions in the six ministries were retained by civil officials from the previous dynasty. And these civil officials, as early as the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty, had already surrendered to the Khitans once. Therefore, he will definitely not be willing to live and die with Liu Zhiyuan's Han court. Not optimistic about the outcome of the war in front of them, many smart guys secretly established contact with the Liao side, hoping to protect their own glory and family safety after the defeat.

In addition, Liu Zhiyuan and his Empress Li of the main palace are considered poor couples, so after becoming emperors, they took special care of his wife's family. Knowing that many people in the Li family have limited abilities, they still entrust them with important tasks. This led to the Han court, which was not operating very smoothly, becoming more and more difficult. If you want to do anything serious, you can't put it on the agenda without a March or May scene.

As the deputy envoy of the privy council and the secretary of the military department, Guo Wei of course knew that what Wang Jun said at the moment was the truth. Although he did not criticize the current affairs with the latter, he sighed a few times faintly and said in a low voice: "Xiufeng, Your Majesty also has Your Majesty's difficulties. After so many years of fighting, the backbone of the scholars are about to die extinct, where can we find so many people who are both loyal and reliable, and resourceful? You and I complain that these are useless, or let's talk about it, if you don't go through the imperial court, what should Guo do to achieve what you have planned!"

"Well, I've had a bit of a cold leg lately......" Wang Jun stroked his goatee and looked at him.

"Your Majesty gave a white bear skin a few days ago, which was offered by the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom back then. I'm so angry that I can't stand the heat of this thing, so I just gave it to Brother Xiufeng!" Guo Wei knew the meaning when he heard the song, and immediately promised with a smile.

"That's pretty much it!" Wang Jun replied with a smile in his heart. "But I've heard that white bear skin, when matched with tiger bones, ginseng and the like, will have a better curative effect. ”

"I do have some tiger bones. Guo Wei thought for a while and said with a smile, "Ginseng, it's useless if it's too low, and it's not easy to find it at the moment." However, Guo tried his best to get it for you. No matter how much money ......"

"I said you Guo Jiaque, why don't you open your mind!" Hearing Guo Wei lower his head and let himself slaughter, Wang Jun felt a little hot on his face, waved his hand, and interrupted loudly, "I didn't really ask you for tiger bones and ginseng, I just wanted to remind you that there is someone who can help you." Whether it's ginseng or tiger bones, in your eyes, things that are hard to find are at his fingertips!"

"You mean Chang Si?" Guo Wei was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he shook his head gently, "He's tired enough, and I can't help him at all......"

"You old Guo, you are really pedantic!" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jun interrupted again in a loud voice. He looked around and saw that there was no fourth pair of ears, and quickly lowered his voice, and said with a sneer: "He is no longer treated by His Majesty, and he is also the envoy of Zelu Jie who was canonized by the imperial court, as long as the Han court does not fall, who in the world dares to deal with him clearly?

Without waiting for Guo Wei to refute, he looked around again and quickly added, "So I said, at the moment, Chang Kegong's side, what is lacking is not that you send troops to help him, in fact, without Your Majesty's permission, your old Guo can't send a single soldier." What is lacking is for you to help him find an opportunity to remind His Majesty of his many benefits again! Right now, the Li family has turned the Imperial Forest Army and the Secret Spy Division into a pot of porridge, and you can just take the opportunity to let Chang Si come out. His Chang family's business has been from Guangnan to Liaodong, and it is not a hundred times more convenient to insert some reliable people into the caravan than to use the secret spy department? Moreover, when the Great Liao State was first established, the officials of the Northern Privy Council had never seen much of the world. The cost of feeding a county order in the Central Plains is enough to feed a Shangshu over there! Spend 100,000 yuan to smash it down, I guarantee that in two months, no one in the entire Liao Kingdom will say a good word about Zhao Yanshou again!"

As soon as the words of "hiss——!" fell, Guo Wei and Zheng Renzhi gasped together.

The greed and vulgarity of the Khitan nobles were not slandered by Wang Jun, but seen by everyone with their own eyes. Xiao Han was ordered by Yelu Deguang to stay in Bianliang, and this important minister did not spend much time thinking about how to resist the attack of the Han army during his reign, but he scraped the land of Bianliang City by more than three feet. This Xiao Dawang's cronies and guards were even worse, and after secretly withdrawing to the north bank of the Yellow River, they immediately plundered along the way. From the fine and soft gold and silver to the copper pot incense burner, nothing is taboo. Even when they saw the iron pots in the people's houses, they had to cut them off the stove and tie them to the horses and take them away.

And Yelu Deguang, who was the emperor of Daliao at that time, never restrained the corruption of his subordinates. Li Shouzhen's original qualifications, prestige and ability were very average, but with a few generous gifts, he successfully found the fat shortage of the Tianping Army. The princes of a place still clearly marked the price, and in the past few months when the Liao State ruled the Central Plains, other people who completely relied on bribery to buy official positions were even more loaded.

By analogy, according to the current officialdom of Liao, Wang Jun's 100,000 yuan to kill Zhao Yanshou is definitely not a fool's dream. Although the amount of 100,000 copper coins sounds quite large, it is not enough to pay half a year's military salary to the 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Han army, not to mention the expenses of meeting the food and grass of these 5,000 people.

Thinking of this, Guo Wei didn't hesitate anymore. smashed his left hand with his right fist, and said loudly, "Okay, Guo Mou will let go of his skin and face, and then ask Chang Kegong for a while." It's a big deal, Guo owes him 100,000 yuan for this 100,000 yuan first, and then slowly return it to him in the future!"

"If you can re-enter the court, presumably Chang Kegong will not be stingy with this 100,000 pieces of stinky copper!" Wang Jun proudly flicked his sleeves and emphasized in a low voice.

At this point, he took it for granted. As a strategist, he is indeed very capable. But as a politician, his vision is far less than that of Guo Wei and Zheng Renzhi, two old officialdom veterans. A few months ago, being kicked out of the court was indeed a disaster for Chang Si himself. And now that I have carefully looked at the fate of Prime Minister Yang Wei, staying away from the court and guarding the place, it may not be a blessing. At least, he can do whatever he wants locally, and he doesn't have to tremble every day because of Liu Zhiyuan's changeable mood like the important ministers of the court.

However, Guo Wei and Zheng Renzhi tacitly exchanged glances, and neither of them explained their thoughts to Wang Jun. It's just that following this person's previous plan, he sorted out the entire trap from beginning to end, and added some key details to make it more feasible and operate more smoothly.

When everything was done, the moon in the sky climbed overhead. The three of them saw that it was not too early, and hurriedly said goodbye to each other, and each went back to rest to recharge for the upcoming fierce battle.

Early the next morning, Guo Wei was the first among all the unworthy generals to get up, wash his face and eat, put on his helmet and armor, and then raised his tent and prepared to line up to meet the enemy.

In the second half of the night yesterday, Zhao Yanshou had already learned through his own special channels that Guo Wei had beheaded all the Liao Guoqin and his entourage. No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, as the envoy of the Southern Privy Council of the Great Liao State, the political order, the envoy of the Youzhou Festival and the stay in Zhongjing, he had to show enough anger. Therefore, as soon as the day dawned, he immediately ordered the army under his command and rushed towards Guo Wei's camp.

Both sides were prepared, so as soon as the battle began, it quickly entered a white-hot state. The elite of the Han army led by Guo Wei caused huge casualties to the Liao army with a large number of longbows and hard crossbows. And the Liao Yan army under Zhao Yanshou also relied on fast horses and long knives to impulse the Han army's positions again and again, pressing the Han army to constantly retreat and adjust, and every time they retreated, it was a river of blood.

"Guo Jiaque's meal didn't have enough today?!" Liu Duo, the commander of the Great Liao'an National Army, pulled his mount suddenly, looked at the Guo Zi battle flag more than a hundred steps away, and said hesitantly.

In my impression, Guo Wei is definitely one of the best generals under Liu Zhiyuan's account, although he is not as brave as Shi Hongzhao to win the three armies, but whether it is arranging troops or responding to the enemy, he has his own uniqueness. But today, this duke is obviously a little absent-minded, and he has been caught by his own side several times and is in a hurry.

Before he could get a response from the strategists around him, suddenly, an earth-shattering cry broke out in his own cavalry ranks, "Fall, fall, Guo Jiaque's war horse has fallen!

"Kill, kill Guo Jiaque, and avenge Lord Qincha!" The surrounding Liao cavalry surged up, lest they were half a step slower and the credit would be snatched away by others.

"Kill Guo Jiaque, kill Guo Jiaque!" In the neighing of people shouting horses, Guo Wei's handsome flag rolled upside down, and the Han army in the center of the battlefield retreated like a tide, discarding flags, weapons and all kinds of baggage, thrown all over the ground!
