Chapter 223 Pharmacist Guo: Li Cun, you kill the donkey! (Ask for a monthly pass!)
...

Not long after Li Yi, Zhe Keyu, Zhe Kecun, Sun Yi, Zhe Zhongan, Luo Cheng, Han Quan and others were sent to Yanjing, they heard that Guo Yaoshi and the Changsheng Army had defected to Song Dynasty without a fight.

in fact--

The person who first wanted to vote for the Dagan Dynasty was not Guo Yaoshi, but Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, the other two commanders of the Changsheng Army.

Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren sent the assassin Huang Ben to contact the Daqian Dynasty a long time ago, saying: "I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor Dagan wants a living pharmacist or a dead pharmacist?"

Although Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren's actions were very secretive, Guo Yaoshi had long been on guard against Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, two guys whose character was worse than his.

In fact, Guo Yaoshi had already asked Rulin Lang Wangshu to draft a surrender form to the Daqian Dynasty.

Guo Yaoshi said in his drop list:

"If you wait for the time to move, you don't know what is going on. Those who follow the sky will survive, and you must pay attention to life and death. Chen Suti, the teacher of a brigade, occasionally suffered six hundred luck. The king who died in Liao and had nothing to do was lonely and ignorant at the time, and he didn't know that his majesty When I arrived in Yanjing, I voted for the Great Song Dynasty by mistake. The leader of Song Dynasty Zaijia, and the official of Qin Dynasty, he will repay the favor of a meal, so the six-foot body can be donated. Although he knows that God is coming, he dares to think of the trapped beast .In the past, we also marched eastward, even though the fury of thunder dared to commit crimes; now we face Yanbei, praying for the balance of heaven and earth..."

In fact, although the Changsheng Army lost to the Jinwu Army last year, it was not seriously injured, especially after this year's operation.

Now the Ever Victorious Army is directly under the troops. Although it is less than 4, there must be more than 4, and all of these more than [-] are horse troops.

In addition, the Changsheng Army also controlled a dozen or so Wanxiang Army, and they also followed Guo Yaoshi's lead.

With such a powerful military force, the Ever Victorious Army is by no means incapable of fighting.

No.

It should be said that if the Ever Victorious Army actively resisted, it would be absolutely impossible for the Qian Army to easily pass through the Song Army's defense zone.

However, firstly, what the Zhao Song Dynasty did was really unpopular, and secondly, the Ever Victorious Army was an army with a tradition of betrayal. After a slight setback, they wanted to change the court.

This made everyone in the Changsheng Army want to vote for the Dagan Dynasty, especially Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, who held heavy troops.

This made Guo Yaoshi even if he didn't want to vote for the Daqian Dynasty, it would be difficult to end.

What's more, Guo Yaoshi is not a loyal minister with strong bones, and he has long thought of joining the Daqian Dynasty.

Therefore, after learning that Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were going to vote for the Dagan Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi first voted for the Dagan Dynasty.

After getting the reply from the Dagan Dynasty that he was willing to accept him, Guo Yaoshi immediately began to plan to surrender to the Dagan Dynasty.

After everything was ready, Guo Yaoshi sent someone to invite Cai Jing, Lu Yihao, Li Yuquan, Shen Guan and other main frontline officials to his central army tent to discuss matters.

Cai Jing and others didn't know that Guo Yaoshi had surrendered to the Daqian Dynasty. This was a Hongmen banquet prepared for them, so they came to Guo Yaoshi's Chinese army tent together.

After everyone arrived, Guo Yaoshi looked around for a week, and said: "Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren have voted for Dagan, they also stole the commander's seal, and have submitted a surrender form to Dagan, and now the Changsheng Army has surrendered. , the Gan army is approaching soon, why don't we surrender as well?"

Cai Jing and the others were stunned when Guo Yaoshi said that he would surrender.

After reacting, Cai Jing said very angrily: "Your Excellency wants to betray the Son of Heaven? How can Jing surrender to the Emperor with death!"

Said, Cai Jing took off the long sword in his waist, ready to commit suicide.

Guo Yaoshi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately hugged Cai Jing, while Zhao Heshou went up to grab Cai Jing's hand, and snatched Cai Jing's sword.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yihao turned around and ran out of the tent.

But when Lu Yihao rushed out of the tent, he saw hundreds of knives and axes ambushing outside the tent, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

This is the end of the matter, Guo Yaoshi no longer pretended, he said loudly: "The Changsheng Army has surrendered, and tomorrow Dagan will send people to take over the defense area of ​​the Changsheng Army, so everyone will surrender with Pharmacist!"

After speaking, Guo Yaoshi put Cai Jing and others under house arrest.

After controlling all the people who were unwilling to surrender, Guo Yaoshi hypocritically said to Cai Jing and others: "Yao Shi really has to do it, and he can't do the righteousness with you from the beginning to the end. He is ashamed."

As he spoke, Guo Yaoshi also squeezed out a few tears.

That night, the Changsheng Army burned, killed and looted wantonly in the area under its control, and committed countless crimes, even more robbers than robbers.

The next day, Han Shizhong personally led the Jinwu Army to accept the surrender, and took over all the defense areas of the Changsheng Army.

After the Jinwu Army took over all the defense areas of the Changsheng Army, Han Shizhong told Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other generals of the Changsheng Army: "The officials will come to Xiongzhou soon, and they will inspect the Changsheng Army by name. The victorious army, the ever victorious army, from top to bottom, must be ready to take over."

After deliberately hesitating for a while, Han Shizhong mentioned Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army: "If my guess is not wrong, the officials will reward you after inspecting the Changsheng Army."

All the generals of the Ever Victorious Army were overjoyed when they heard the words.

Only Yaoshi Guo has doubts.

In fact, Guo Yaoshi has always been afraid of seeing Li Cun.

In Guo Yaoshi's mind, if Li Cun hadn't been extremely powerful, it would have been impossible for Li Cun to become the greatest emperor in the world in just over five years.

And such a powerful person must have no tolerance for sand in his eyes, can he sincerely accept these three-surname slaves?
but--

Guo Yaoshi also has his own confidence, that is, he has more than 4 ever-victorious troops in his hands, and 10,000+ rural troops who obey his orders.

This is a powerful force that should not be underestimated in any force.

So Guo Yaoshi said: "Your Majesty's inspection of the Ever-Victorious Army is a major event, and Pharmacist must do his best to prepare for the military exercise so that His Majesty can fully understand our Ever-Victorious Army."

——Guo Yaoshi is going to repeat his old tricks, and also show Li Cun the might of the Ever Victorious Army, just like he did to Tong Guan back then.

Unexpectedly, when Han Shizhong heard it, he scolded: "Confused!"

Yaoshi Guo was taken aback, he was a little confused, and hurriedly said: "Please clear up your doubts."

Han Shizhong said: "You Ever Victory Army actually want to show off your might in front of the officials, but do you think your life is too long?"

As soon as Han Shizhong said this, Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army were all shocked.

Before Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army asked carefully, Han Shizhong took the initiative to say: "Your Changsheng Army doesn't count the township soldiers under your control, and you have [-] to [-] troops. There are so many soldiers in this area, and they are fully armed. What do you call the officials?" If you can come to inspect, even if the officials want to come to inspect, civil and military officials can agree to it, don't forget, your ever-victorious army is a new army, and it is too late for all the ministers in the court to prevent you from repeating, how dare you call the officials Dangerous?"

When Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army heard the words, their faces all became unsightly.

But Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army knew that Han Shizhong was telling the truth.

If the [-] to [-] ever-victorious troops in full armor suddenly exploded, even if Li Cun brought [-] to [-] personal guards, it would not be safe.

And if Li Cun died, the great situation that the Daqian Dynasty was about to unify would definitely disappear.

On the contrary, if the Changsheng Army can kill Li Cun, the situation that the Zhao and Song Dynasties must perish will be reversed.

Let me ask, under such circumstances, how could the civil and military officials of the Dagan Dynasty not guard against the Ever Victorious Army?
The key point is that the Changsheng Army first voted for the Northern Liao Dynasty from the Liao Kingdom, then voted for the Zhao Song Dynasty from the Northern Liao Dynasty, and now voted for the Dagan Dynasty from the Zhao Song Dynasty. Trust them?
Therefore, even if Li Cun wanted to inspect the heavily armed Ever Victorious Army, the civil and military officials of the Dagan Dynasty would definitely not let him go.

After a long silence, Guo Yaoshi asked, "Then how should I pick him up?"

Han Shizhong showed a teachable expression, and said: "The officials have risen from the ranks of the army, and they have never been defeated in their lives. They are masters of military art like Sun Wu and Wu Qi. You don't have to use your brains to make tricks, just stand up and let the officials take a look." That's it."

"This……"

Pharmacist Guo intuitively felt that there might be a problem.

But Guo Yaoshi thought about it, but he really didn't see any problem.

Seeing Guo Yaoshi's hesitation, Han Shizhong put on a serious face, and asked, "Why, don't you really want to join me, but want to plot against me as the emperor?"

Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army hurriedly said: "What is Dutong talking about? We have handed over all the defense areas to your army. Is there a way to turn back?"

As soon as this remark came out, Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army realized that their Changsheng Army really had no other way to go except to serve the Daqian Dynasty wholeheartedly.

otherwise--

First of all, as Guo Yaoshi and the others said, they have already handed over all the defense areas controlled by the Changsheng Army to the Jinwu Army, so how can they go back to serve the Zhao Song Dynasty?Taking a step back, after they returned to the Zhao Song Dynasty, can the Zhao Song Dynasty trust their ever-victorious army again?
Then the ever-victorious army will go to another family, such as Jin Guo, such as Xixia?
Not to mention, with the Dagan Dynasty and the Zhao Song Dynasty blocking it, the Changsheng Army had no way to vote for Jin Guo or Xixia.

That is, the Changsheng Army can go to the Kingdom of Jin or Xixia. At that time, the Changsheng Army, who was already a slave of the four surnames, could gain the trust of the Kingdom of Jin or Xixia?
Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Ever Victorious Army understood that they had no way out and could only accept the arrangement of the Daqian Dynasty honestly.

Therefore, although he was uneasy, Guo Yaoshi found Cai Jing and other people under house arrest, and said: "Your Majesty will inspect the Changsheng Army in the near future, and you should go to face the saint together."

Cai Jing said: "We have already been detained, why do we need to surrender again? What kind of etiquette should we use when we meet? If there is little humiliation, I will die. If I die, I will ask Mr. Guo to hang everyone and bury them in a pit."

Cai Jing also told his son Cai Songnian to be brave and unyielding, not to make people think that Song Dynasty has no loyal ministers.

Everyone else also asked Guo Yaoshi, but Li Cun was not seen.

Guo Yaoshi said arrogantly: "I must see you."

A few days later, more than 3000 victorious troops abandoned their horses and weapons, and lined up behind Xiongzhou City wearing only armor to meet Li Cun's inspection.

At that time, Li Cun came to Xiongzhou under the escort of one hundred thousand troops.

The [-] troops that Li Cun brought this time included [-] new troops besides the Front Guard Army, the Rear Guard Army, the Younger Army, and the Youyi Army.

Among the [-] new troops, [-] were recruits brought by Li Cun from the south, and another [-] were elite cavalry recruited by Li Cun from the Yanyun area (some of them were soldiers of the original Yisheng army).

This [-] army is the early army that Li Cun used to attack the Song Dynasty.

As for the Jinwu Army, it was used by Li Cun to guard Yandi and Hebei.

but--

What puzzled many people was that the so-called [-] elite cavalry had less than [-] horses (these less than [-] horses were mainly "borrowed" by Yue Fei from the Yisheng Army), Moreover, their armor is not complete, and even their weapons are not enough.

How is this going?

Curious people know the answer without wondering for too long.

After Li Cun arrived in Xiongzhou, Song Jiang who came with Li Cun directly gave Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi and Li Shiyan a wink.

Seeing this, the three Guan Sheng immediately led their troops to "take over" the horses and weapons of the Changsheng Army with the people sent by Han Shizhong.

No one in the Changsheng Army knew anything about this, and they were still excitedly waiting for Li Cun to test the Changsheng Army.

Soon after, Li Cun came to the city of Xiongzhou.

Li Cun did not go directly to inspect the Changsheng Army, but entered Xiongzhou City under the support of Han Shizhong and others, and under the protection of the Front Guard Army and the Rear Guard Army.

After the front guard army and the rear guard army built another layer of defense on the basis of the Jinwu army's already prepared defense, Li Cuncai summoned Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other generals of the ever-victorious army.

Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Ever-Victorious Army, when they saw Li Cunliao wearing a battle robe of big pearls, necklaces, sewed silk, and golden green gauze, all hurriedly nodded their heads under the city wall. When I was in the Song Dynasty, I often heard about His Majesty's sages. I have admired His Majesty's reputation for a long time, and wished to vote early. It's a pity that good fortune tricked people, so that my ministers mistakenly voted for the Song Kingdom, and missed your Majesty. This is a great regret in my life. I don't want to return today. If you have the opportunity to see His Majesty's face in person, even if you die for it, you will be deeply honored!"

Li Cun glanced at the left lapel clothes that Guo Yaoshi and others were still wearing, and then went straight to the point and said, "I have something to do, I hope you will cooperate, do you wish?"

Pharmacist Guo hurriedly said: "Your servants are barbarians from afar. Today, thanks to the great favor of heaven and earth, I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death. Even if I go through fire and water, take the risk of death, and be smashed to pieces, I am willing. No matter what happens, I will deal with it with the heart of death." .”

Li Cun nodded, and then said bluntly: "I heard that your Changsheng Army burned, killed and looted hundreds of thousands of our Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Cangzhou, Mozhou, Xin'an Army, Baoding Army, Ansu Army, and Shun'an Army. The people, have committed numerous bloody crimes, can this happen?"

Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army never expected that Li Cun would mention this matter as soon as he came.

They wanted to argue with Li Cun that when they robbed, this Hebei was not Li Cun's, and they robbed Song people, not Li Cun's people.

But the emperor has always been like, if you say you are right, you are right, if you are not right, you are right, if you say you are wrong, you are wrong, right or wrong, to reason with the emperor, isn't that the same as courting death?

Guo Yaoshi turned his eyes and said: "I accept the crime, and when I turn back, I will hand over the criminal to His Majesty for disposal."

——Guo Yaoshi's idea is to hand over 800 people to take the blame, so that he can take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Unexpectedly, Li Cun directly rejected Guo Yaoshi's proposal: "Is there any reason to ask the suspect to find out who is the criminal?"

After all, Li Cun no longer looked at Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army, but asked loudly, "Where are Song Jiang and Wu Yong?"

Listening to the words, Song Jiang and Wu Yong came out and said, "The minister is here."

Li Cundao: "The two of you are responsible for the public trial of the soldiers of the Changsheng Army. Remember, you must never wrong a good person, and of course, you must not let a bad person go."

Song Jiang and Wu Yong said in unison: "No."

Seeing this, Guo Yaoshi and other generals of the Changsheng Army felt that something was wrong, and they all thought in unison: "Li Cun wants to kill the donkey!"
