Chapter 297: Butcher Li Kui
…
Liang Shanjun called?!!!
Guo Yaoshi never expected that the Liangshan Army would move so fast!
Pharmacist Guo couldn't help but say, "It's broken! ”
It's broken.
There is no need for Pharmacist Guo to explain, Pharmacist Guo's confidants Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen and others also understand that Pharmacist Guo means that they are slow to react.
If before the Liangshan army came, Guo Yaoshi and the others sacrificed Zhuozhou, then they would have contributed to the city, although they were not as meritorious as Gao Feng, who was the first to sacrifice Yizhou City, one of the seven major state cities of Yandi, but at least they could ensure that they did not lose their current official positions.
And if Guo Yaoshi and the others did not surrender the city when the Liangshan army was pressing the border, it would be equivalent to them choosing to surrender because they were afraid of the Liangshan army.
This nature has changed.
Pharmacist Guo's proposal was supported by the top leaders of the Chang Shengjun.
Based on this, Guo Yaoshi said: "Brothers, if we surrender without a fight, we will be despised by the world, and everyone's future will be ruined. ”
Zhang Linghui said with annoyance: "Why is this Liangshan army's action so decisive, it doesn't give us a chance to sacrifice the city at all!" ”
When he came to the battlefield and saw the military appearance of the front army of the Right Route Army led by Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin, Guo Yaoshi's face couldn't help but show fear.
The reason why the high-ranking members of the Chang Shengjun supported Guo Yaoshi's idea was because they were confident in their own combat strength, you must know that their Chang Shengjun had the strength to fight even against the invincible Jin Army, let alone the weak Han army?
As early as twenty days ago, Guo Yaoshi had already assembled the Changsheng army and stationed it in the area from Zhuozhou to the ancient city.
Therefore, Guo Yaoshi wants to fight with the Liangshan army with a real sword or two, and it is best to defeat the Liangshan army and show the combat effectiveness of the victorious army led by him.
It is not difficult to see from Guo Yaoshi's words that he has decided to personally lead the army to meet the Liangshan army.
And passive surrender is unwilling for Pharmacist Guo, because once he embarks on this road, then he will inevitably be despised by Jiang Hongfei, and his career may be completely ruined.
I saw that the victorious army under the command of Guo Yaoshi had a clear armor, the team was clean, with a wave of the flag, and the iron horse was shining brightly, I don't know how many of them.
Pharmacist Guo deserves to be a figure who can stir up history.
Guo Yaoshi said helplessly: "I look at this army, its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like yin, it is like a thunderstorm, I often win the army with all my strength, whether it can win the battle, it is not yet known, let alone not go all out?" ”
Then Pharmacist Guo personally led the army to set off.
Guo Yaoshi's adviser Ru Linlang Wang Shu suggested: "The capital is unified and the city is under the wall, and Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren can be sent to the past." If they are all gone, if they don't win, they will be defeated, and I will often win the army. And Zhuozhou is empty today, and it must also be defended to prevent the Liangshan army from breaking through from here. ”
In the early morning of May 11 in the fourth year of Song Xuanhe, Guo Yaoshi led all the victorious troops to the ancient city, preparing to fight the Liangshan army.
Guo Yaoshi can take the initiative to surrender to Jiang Hongfei, because that is his choice, and that is his management of his future.
Liu Shunren also said: "If we surrender the city at this time, we will definitely teach him that my Chang Shengjun is afraid of his Liangshan army." ”
Even Zhen Wuchen said: "If you sacrifice the city at this time, I am afraid that I will teach the people of the world to underestimate my Chang Shengjun." ”
Let's ask, if a military general can't lead his troops to win the battle, then what's the use of him?
In order to boost morale, Pharmacist Guo took out a large amount of spiritual money to reward the soldiers of the victorious army with great fanfare.
The most ambitious of these people is Pharmacist Guo.
The key is that Guo Yaoshi is a military general, if Jiang Hongfei sees him as weak and incompetent, then their career and glory and wealth will come to an end.
In an open space to the south of the ancient city, Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin led the horse infantry army of the 8,000 Liangshan army to line up in the east, and the Chang Shengjun army advanced all the way to the south, and finally lined up in the open space in the west.
Although the Chang Sheng army was only 8,000, all of them were horse troops, and in terms of military strength, Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin were slightly inferior in strength, so they did not dare to attack, and wanted to delay until Sun Jing personally led the arrival of the large army of the right army, and then meet the Chang Sheng army.
But what is both reasonable and unexpected is that Guo Yaoshi did not give the Liangshan army time to assemble at all, so he decisively led the army to charge the Liangshan army.
Seeing this, Wu Jiao had already removed the lid of the gourd that Jiang Hongfei had rewarded him, and shouted: "Disease! A black gas rushed out of the gourd, which spread for a long time in an instant, faint and miserable, and many fine sand and iron filings hit the person's body, and the skin and flesh were scorched, so unbearable, and the victorious soldiers were suddenly in chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luan Tingyu did not hesitate to lead the Ma Sixth Army to kill the left flank of the Changsheng army, and Wu Lin also organized his infantry to shoot the middle army and the right wing of the Changsheng army with a divine arm bow.
Putting aside the character of the victorious army, the victorious army formed by the orphans and hungry people of the Liaoshui War can indeed be called a strong army in this world.
In the face of Wu Jiao's spell, they actually used their aura to stimulate the armor on their bodies to resist this piercing pain and fight against the Liangshan army.
At that time, the two formations were facing each other, Guo Yaoshi was going from the south, and Luan Tingyu and Zhang Linghui were fighting head-on. Wu Lin shot the main force of the Chinese army of the Changsheng army led by Guo Yaoshi and the right flank led by Liu Shunren under the cover of Wu Jiao with an infantry army, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than 30 miles.
Because the soldiers of the Liangshan army were brave and Wu Lin commanded properly, the 5,000-foot army dragged the middle army and the right wing of the Changsheng army for a long time, Luan Tingyu was able to defeat Zhang Linghui in 70 rounds, Zhang Linghui saw that the Liangshan army was difficult to fight, and the first to lead the army to escape, Luan Tingyu chased for a while, and then led the army back to the right wing of the Changsheng army to defeat Liu Shunren, and Liu Shunren also led the army to escape from the battlefield.
After a hard battle, Guo Yaoshi finally led the Chinese army of the victorious army into the infantry army led by Wu Luan.
The horse army rushed into the infantry army, which was tantamount to a wolf entering the flock.
But just as Guo Yaoshi was about to kill the Quartet, he turned around and saw that Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren had been beaten away by Luan Tingyu, and there was smoke and dust billowing in the distance, obviously the reinforcements of the Liangshan Army had arrived.
There was no way, Guo Yaoshi could only give up the opportunity to defeat Wu Xuan's infantry army, and led the victorious army to quickly break through.
Wu Lin did not feel lucky because he escaped from the iron hooves of the Changsheng army, on the contrary, he seized the fighter plane, commanded his infantry army, encircled and suppressed step by step, and shot a large number of soldiers of the Changsheng army under Guo Yaoshi.
Under the breakthrough of Guo Yaoshi, the Changsheng army finally broke out of the encirclement and fled towards Zhuozhou before the reinforcements of the Liangshan army arrived.
Before this battle, Guo Yaoshi originally had 300 hard troops (that is, pro-army), but after breaking out of the encirclement, only 120 people remained, and the casualties of the rest of the Changsheng army can be imagined.
The battle began in the morning, and as soon as the time passed, Zhang Linghui led the army back to Zhuozhou, and then Liu Shunren also retreated.
In the evening, Guo Yaoshi also led more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Zhuozhou.
The three of them were very depressed, slandering and complaining to each other, and finally agreed that it was not that they were too weak, but that the Liangshan army was too strong, and only a front army of the Right Route Army defeated them, which showed that the Liangshan Army was not an ordinary bandit at all, but a regular army with strong combat effectiveness.
That night, Sun Jing personally led 40,000 troops to the city to surround Zhuozhou City.
Seeing that Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, and Liu Shunren were all defeated, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Zhuozhou City, the wealthy families, and the gentry and prominent families all returned defeated, and felt that the situation was not good, so they held a meeting and wanted to form a death squad of 2,000 people, and then open the city gates, protect them, and retreat to Yanjing.
After Pharmacist Guo heard about this, he asked Wang Shu, "How should I deal with it?" ”
Wang Shu said: "The public is a commander who guards the land, how can he be compared with others? Defend it to the death. And if the prince leads everyone to go with him, they all have their own dependents to drag them down, how can they escape to Yanjinghu? ”
Pharmacist Guo said: "This is what Pharmacist means. ”
After a while, someone came to report that Zhang Chun, the Zhuozhou Integrity Defense Envoy, arrived at the north gate of the city with his family and prepared to leave the city. In addition, there were about 1,200 Cao Si officials, who smashed the door at the north gate of the city and wanted to flee out of the north of the city.
Guo Yaoshi decisively ordered Zhen Wuchen and said: "You immediately bring people to stop it, and if you dare to take advantage of the chaos, kill it!" ”
It took a long time for the area around the north gate of the city to settle down.
That night, there were many rumors in the city of Zhuozhou, some said that Chang Shengjun might want to join Jiang Hongfei, some people persuaded Guo Yaoshi to take them to abandon Zhuozhou and flee, some suggested that Guo Yaoshi send someone to Yanjing for help, and some people said to Guo Yaoshi: "Zhuozhou is the place governed by the public, in case the public obeys the advice of others to abandon the city and flee, when the day comes, they will inevitably put the responsibility on the public, and they must not ignore it." ”
Guo Yaoshi knew in his heart that he led the crowd to flee to Yanjing, and he must have thrown himself to death, but he already knew the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan army, if the 200,000 Liangshan army was such a combat power, it was definitely not something that the tens of thousands of horses in Yanjing could resist.
After thinking about it, Guo Yaoshi called the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City overnight, and first gave a brief introduction to the battle situation during the day and the next step.
Guo Yaoshi said: "Today's battle, the medicine master was defeated by cavalry, chased thirty miles, and entered the Liangshan army's infantry army, seeing that he wanted to see the merits, looking back at the left and right wings without fighting, thinking that he had been defeated, and seeing the Liangshan army reinforcements coming, he galloped back, and now he packed up the army and entered the city to wait for tomorrow, send the troops to fight to the death, or not win, then support the army and go to Yanjing, in order to save the army. ”
Zhang Linghui asked: "Is there a soldier coming from the Great Dynasty?" ”
Someone answered, "Never!" The total number of soldiers in the great dynasty is 50,000, excluding my Changsheng army, it is more than 40,000, and this point is not enough to guard the passes such as Juyong Pass and Yanjing, how can there be soldiers to rescue my Changsheng army? ”
Someone else said: "The division was defeated and retreated, and there were also ancient times." Why don't you retreat to Yanjing overnight in order to move back. ”
Liu Shunren disagreed: "The family members of Chang Shengjun are all in Zhuozhou, how to get it?" If the rate goes, it will be chaotic quickly! ”
Pharmacist Guo and Liu Shunren both thought so.
Everyone discussed and discussed, because the people present were complicated and had their own careful thoughts, and in the end, no one was willing to propose the surrender of the city first.
Seeing this, Pharmacist Guo said awe-inspiringly: "Pharmacist is a handsome minister, and he should repay me with death, and you are willing to go by yourself." ”
Some dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City asked Guo Yaoshi to send 100 Changsheng troops to escort their families out of the city.
But Pharmacist Guo replied very resolutely: "The victorious army cannot be sent." ”
Pharmacist Guo also said: "Take the way of life, and not necessarily immortality; There is a way to die, but not necessarily not to live. ”
Many high-ranking officials, nobles, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City heard Guo Yaoshi say this, and saw that the Liangshan army was besieging the city on all sides, and dispelled the idea of escaping from Zhuozhou City.
Late at night, someone came to report to Guo Yaoshi, and the assassin Shi Huangben, who guarded the east gate of Zhuozhou City, had secretly sent someone to contact the Liangshan Army, saying that he could open the city gate to make an internal response for the Liangshan Army, and also asked Sun Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army: "I don't know if the marshal wants to live Guo Yaoshi, or Guo Yaoshi who is dead?" ”
Guo Yaoshi knew that the masterminds behind Huang Ben were Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren.
In fact, Guo Yaoshi had also ordered Wang Shu to draft a surrender table to Jiang Hongfei, which said:
"When the time comes, the movement is fixed and the rest is unknown; Those who obey the heavens survive, and their survival cannot be ignored. The division of the first brigade of Chen Suti was occasionally transported by 600. Emperor Tianzuo lost the country, Tianxi's political program was chaotic, internal thieves and foreign robbers, and the world was divided. With the virtue of a good life, the Duke of Qi hanged the people and cut down the crime, ordered the tiger ministers to support heavy troops, go down to Yizhou, and press my realm, knowing that God is coming, and dare to think about the beast of the trapped beast to fight......"
In fact, in the previous battle, the front army of the Right Route Army and the Chang Sheng Army were equal in casualties, Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin did not think that they defeated the Chang Sheng army, but only thought that their own reinforcements had arrived, which scared away the Chang Sheng army.
It's just that the victorious army has a tradition of rebellion from top to bottom, and they are suspicious of each other, so they are better than surrendering.
In a nutshell.
The next day, under the competition of the victorious army soldiers to dedicate the city, Sun Jing led the Liangshan army to officially enter the city of Zhuozhou, and the heroes of Liangshan planted the banner of Liangshan all over the walls of Zhuozhou City.
The second state city of Yandi fell into the hands of Shuibo Liangshan.
As soon as Sun Jing arrived in Zhuozhou, Guo Yaoshi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Yaoshi is a remote person, obscenely guarding in Zhuozhou, and has long wanted to take refuge in Qi Guogong, but there has been no opportunity, until recently, I heard that Wang Shi has started the Northern Expedition, and I would like to lead my fellow subordinates and ask to serve under the command of the military division." ”
What made Pharmacist Guo's heart sink was that Sun Jing actually said lightly: "Please get up, I have heard of General Guo's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." General Guo's ability to understand current affairs, follow the trend, serve Qi Guogong, and work together for the great cause is indeed a heroic feat. ”
As he spoke, Sun Jing invited Jiang Hongfei's edict out.
In the edict, Jiang Hongfei appointed Guo Yaoshi as the Enzhou Observation Envoy and Zhizhuo Prefecture, Zhang Linghui as the Zuowu Doctor and Taozhou Defense Envoy, Liu Shunren as the Martial Arts Doctor and Qinzhou Defense Envoy, Zhen Wuchen as the Wuyi Doctor and Huaizhou Assassin History, Zhao Heshou as the Right Martial Arts Doctor and Hengzhou Assassin History, and other people who donated the city each had a reward.
When the Liangshan army was approaching the city, Guo Yaoshi and others surrendered to the city, and to receive such a high reward, Jiang Hongfei definitely showed his benevolence, and even made a gesture of buying bones.
Guo Yaoshi and the others were overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to bow to the chief of Ji, and thanked Jiang Hongfei for his great kindness.
Just when Guo Yaoshi and other soldiers of the Changsheng Army imagined that they would be reused by Jiang Hongfei, Sun Jing was ruthless to them.
After Sun Jing took over Zhuozhou, Zhuozhou's high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry and prominent families all went to the public trial table to accept the public trial, not to mention, even the soldiers of the Chang Shengjun also lined up on the public trial platform.
The military discipline of the Changsheng Army is extremely poor, not to mention that its soldiers are all robbers who burn and loot, it is not too much, anyway, in order to harm the township, bully men and women, rely on the strong to bully the weak, take the strong, buy and sell, and bully the market, the soldiers of the Changsheng Army have done no less.
How could such a soldier of the victorious army come down on the public trial platform.
As a result, in less than three days, thousands of soldiers of the victorious army were beheaded.
Even Zhang Linghui, the No. 2 person in Chang Shengjun, was pushed to the public trial table under the excitement of the crowd and let Sun Jing cut down.
Guo Yaoshi hurriedly interceded for the soldiers of the Changsheng army.
But Sun Jing is not a pharmacist at all.
And Sun Jing's little servant clearly told Guo Yaoshi that if the soldiers of the Chang Shengjun did not want to go to the public trial, they had to dedicate all their family assets to Sun Jing.
When the soldiers of the victorious army learned of this, they were excited, and they secretly joined forces to discuss the mutiny.
Pharmacist Guo felt that something was wrong, so when Liu Shunren sent someone to discuss the mutiny, he pretended to be sick and did not go.
Before two hours arrived, Guo Yaoshi heard the news that Chang Shengjun's army mutinied, and Sun Jing sent the black whirlwind Li Kui to suppress it.
Li Kui, the butcher, killed Chang Shengjun from Liu Shunren down......
