Qian Song

Chapter 246 The fate of Pharmacist Guo (ask for a monthly ticket!)
...

Li Cun is most worried, well, to be precise, what he does not want to happen the most is that the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty are scattered everywhere, and they cannot be wiped out all at once.

If that's the case, then after Li Cunqian overthrew the Zhao Song Dynasty, he would probably be like Nanming, as long as an ambitious person found a descendant of the Zhao family, he would be able to rise violently under the banner of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In this way, it will be difficult to achieve complete peace in the world in a short period of time, which will also involve a lot of Li Cun's energy, leaving Li Cun with no time to develop vigorously.

Furthermore, Hebei and Hedong are now in a mess everywhere, and there are still a large number of pro-Song armed forces that have not been cleaned up.

Under such circumstances, if Li Cun also took down Bianliang City in Tokyo, it would not be possible to fight the war by investing more than a dozen or 20 troops.

——In that case, Li Cun will definitely expand the army, and then send some of the five government armies to the north, and some of the Jinwu army, Habayashi army, and Huzhi army to go south, turning this war into a real national war with all its strength.

Hitting that level will consume a lot of money, and it will not end well. The key is that the barbarians may benefit from it.

Therefore, Li Cun is going to completely occupy Hebei and Hedong first, and take this opportunity to destroy the main force of the Song army, and then use the troops that captured Hebei and Hedong to capture the Central Plains, and then go to recover the Sichuan-Shanxi area, instead of following Zhao. The Song Dynasty fought wars that blossomed everywhere.

Based on this strategy, Li Cun did not choose to continue to attack the city on the way back, but chose to return to Yanjing first.

Zhang Xiaochun replied: "The imperial court sent you to hand over Taiyuan, but asked you to report back to the imperial court, saying that some people refused, and you should stick to it as before!"

Zhao Huan immediately asked the three provinces to use Zhongshan, Zhending, Hejian and Taiyuan as examples to inform the people of the Zhao Song Dynasty that Hebei and Hedong were still the territory of the Zhao Song Dynasty and had not been taken away by the Dagan Dynasty.

If this is really [-] shi of grain, then the biggest crisis in Taiyuan City will be resolved.

But as an enemy, Yue Fei couldn't be soft on Taiyuan City.

Zhongshan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Zhending Mansion went out of the city one after another to fight the Jinwu Army that locked the city.

Later, someone suggested that it is better to transport a few hundred shi of grain back first, so that everyone can have a full meal first?
Zhang Xiaochun felt that this proposal was very reasonable, so he asked the 51 dead men to bring back three or two hundred shi of grain first.

Seeing that the Qianjun didn't know what was pushed, Wang Bao thought that the Qianjun was preparing to go to war, so he immediately ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to prepare for the battle with all their strength.

Guo Yaoshi replied in a deep voice, "Thick."

After Wang Ting learned of Lu Yundi's identity, he ordered someone to put down the hanging basket and hoist Lu Yundi into the city.

Although he didn't understand, since Li Cun had an order, Yue Fei, who was 100% convinced by Li Cun, would definitely have to carry it out. He sent someone to inform Wang Gui to do this right away.

At this moment, hearing that Song Jiang wanted to seize Guo Yaoshi's family property, Zhen Wuchen stepped forward and said, "My family's husband has made a lot of contributions to the great cadre, how can An Neng treat him like this?!"

Along the way, Guo Yaoshi was in fear and fear, and he didn't even dare to get close to the side of the boat - he was afraid that someone would suddenly come behind him and push him into the sea.

——This time, Li Cun must be prepared and strive to overthrow the Zhao Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.Taking a step back, even if it is impossible to overthrow the Zhao Song Dynasty at once, Li Cun must capture as many royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty as possible in one fell swoop, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

So Zhang Xiaochun was so nervous that he couldn't help himself, he gritted his teeth, and sent another fifty dead men out of the city to check the batch of grain with the dead man who left the city before.

Rather, Li Cun knew clearly that even without food, Taiyuan City could still last for several more months.

This kept Taiyuan City under tight siege by the Gan army.

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he hurriedly said, "I hope the Grand Scholar will give me some advice."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for others to speak, he reached into the hot pot with both hands, picked up a handful of thick porridge that was not fully cooked, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhang Xiaochun hurriedly asked someone to pull these people away, lest they be burned or strangled to death.

Of course, on the way, Li Cun also asked Cheng Yu, who was sent by the Zhao Song Dynasty to help the Dagan Dynasty persuade them to surrender, and others to go to the city to shout, to persuade those soldiers of the Zhao Song Dynasty who were still resisting to open the city and surrender, such as Zhongshan Fucheng, such as Hejian Fucheng, Another example is Zhending Prefecture.

Although Taiyuan City had been besieged by the Gan army, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Ti still sent dead soldiers to venture out of the city to seek emergency from the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

But Hedong is different.

However, now that the crowd is raging, if he doesn't allow people to take a look, he can't appease these people who are almost hungry and red-eyed.

Song Jiang said: "Tianzuo treats you generously, and you oppose Tianzuo; Emperor Zhao treats you especially generously, and you oppose Emperor Zhao. My emperor has no gold and silk to give you, and you will do the opposite. If you have money to recruit soldiers and horses, ask me to wait for you." How can loyal ministers rest assured?"

But now, Li Cun owns several roads more territory than the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

In order to do this.

Although he withdrew his troops from the Central Plains, Li Cun has been paying attention to the news of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wang Ting listened to the words and remained silent for a long time.

Of course, Li Cun is now the Ninth Five-Year Master, so it is impossible for him to deal with Guo Yaoshi by himself.

During this time.

It had been several years since Zhang Xiaochun had seen such a large-scale persuasion of farmers, so he couldn't help but ask Wang Tin: "I am right, Zhengchen, what I did?"

Seeing this, Li Cun did not insist, but continued to retreat to Yanjing.

Also, the people who brought back the food were not in any danger.

Zhen Wuchen, who was supposed to die in the surprise attack on Yanjing in history, never died, and even walked down from the public trial because of his loyalty.

As soon as Song Jiang heard it, he understood that Li Cun was worried about his wealth.

This made Lu Yundi feel ashamed and went down from the city.

Song Jiang's words hit the nail on the head, and Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen were so frightened that they dared not say another word.

In fact, no need to ask, Wang Gui also knew that the reason why they became so skinny must be because there was no food in Taiyuan City.

Song Jiang looked at Guo Yaoshi and asked, "How does Tianzuo treat you?"

After careful observation, the people in Taiyuan City found that the faces of the people outside the city did not have the grief and indignation of being invaded and enslaved as they imagined. On the contrary, their faces were all filled with happy smiles.

More importantly, the reason why Taiyuan City has been kept until now is not that Yue Fei can't defeat Taiyuan City, but that Li Cun wants to use Taiyuan City to encircle and defeat the main force of the Song Army. This has nothing to do with whether there is food in Taiyuan City nothing to do.

At first, Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Tien and other people in Taiyuan City thought that this was a plot by the Qian army.

When Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Ting heard this, they couldn't help being moved, and then became at a loss!
But the others, after hearing that it was indeed food, immediately cheered up!
After reacting for a while, Zhang Xiaochun yelled at the dead man who inspected the grain: "Open all the grain bags, check carefully, and make sure there are no omissions!"

As a soldier, Yue Fei respected Wang Teng very much.

In addition to these big things, there are also some small things that Li Cun needs to deal with, such as Guo Yaoshi, a house slave with three surnames.

Moreover, the officials of the Dagan Dynasty were very professional. They persuaded the farmers, taught the people to make advanced farm tools, and led the people to build waterwheels along the Fen River...

Among them, most of them were caught by Wang Gui.

Wang Ting said with a sword: "The king should protect the country and love the people, and the subjects should be loyal to the king and uphold righteousness. Now the army and people of Bingzhou regard the Song Dynasty as the most important thing, and would rather die than become an enemy ghost. But the court is so abandoning the people, why is it so important? See the subjects of the world? The soldiers and civilians of Bingzhou refused to be ordered, and stood firm with death!"

Li Cunzhun played, Feng Guo Yaoshi was the deputy governor of the Guangde Army, and should be placed in Tianfu.

Among them, Zhan Du of Zhongshan Prefecture was the most vicious. He led the defenders of Zhongshan Prefecture to fight with the Jinwu Army and rob the village more than 600 times. He killed and captured nearly 40 soldiers of the Dagan Dynasty, and also robbed Hundreds of evil animals were taken, thousands of copies of ladders, goose carts, Dongzi armor, flags and drums, etc., and more than [-] carts of grain and grass were burned.

The letters on these dead men, without exception, were all asking for help from the Zhao Song court, and they also used the word check to tell the Zhao Song court that there was no food in Taiyuan City.

After the reading, Lu Yundi said to Zhang Xiaochun: "The imperial court has cut off the east and the north, open the door urgently!"

……

Song Jiang found Guo Yaoshi soon, and said straight to the point: "Guo Xianggong wants to die?"

These news spread back to the Zhao Song Dynasty one after another.

Song Jiang asked again: "How is Emperor Zhao?"

But Wang Ting firmly did not believe that the two armies were at war, and the enemy would be so kind as to send them food.

Soon after, people in Taiyuan suddenly discovered that the people outside the city began to plant spring under the organization of the government.

Once this question was asked, many people who had never thought about it before couldn't help thinking about it...

Of course, Li Cun is not a woman's benevolence.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Cun approached Song Jiang and asked casually: "Guo Yaoshi is rich in family wealth, countless cattle and horses, and thousands of slaves?"

After Wang Gui learned of this, he quickly reported the news to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was very puzzled, he didn't understand why Li Cun wanted a woman's benevolence?

Under such circumstances, while laying down more territory, Li Cun certainly hopes that his generals can be as upright and loyal as Wang Tian, ​​Chen Yu, Zhan Du, Zhao Li, and Li Yanxian, instead of being like Guo Yaoshi. Surrender at every turn.

Guo Yaoshi originally thought that he would be able to be reused by Li Cun because of his great contribution to following Li Cun to the south this time, but he never expected that he would end up in such an end that if he had a little self-protection power, he would be wiped out in ashes.

So, after seeing Wang Gui and others walking away, Wang Teng picked a bold and careful person and asked him to go down the city to see what the hell the army was doing.

Based on this, Li Cun had to encourage those loyal ministers, and also made clear his attitude towards those capricious white-eyed wolves.

There are similar situations in Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion.

The defenders in Taiyuan City were unwilling to surrender, and Yue Fei was very disappointed.

And Guo Yaoshi is a very good chicken.

Therefore, food is actually not important anymore, and these hard bones in Taiyuan City will not be allowed to surrender.

in fact--

Fortunately-

——This is actually one of the reasons why Li Cun formed a sightseeing group.

"The villain is willing to go!"

And most importantly, this is a civil war, not a life-and-death national war. There is really no need to kill them all.

These dead men hid the form deep in their collars, and used various methods to break out of the encirclement.

This made many people wonder why the Ganjun sent them food while drinking the delicious thick porridge?
After they really couldn't think of a reason, many people began to believe what Wang Gui said, that is, these grains were rewarded to them by Li Cun, and they didn't want them to be so hungry that they would eat each other.

Hearing the news, the grain inspector opened hundreds of packages of grain for inspection, and it turned out that they were all good new grain.

Moreover, after all, Guo Yaoshi did a lot of meritorious service when Li Cun led his army to the south this time, and Li Cun could not turn a blind eye to it.

But when the bed crossbow's range limit was reached, Wang Gui stopped the food transporters, and then he personally shouted to the city with a loud voice: "My emperor's oral order, this is a dispute between him and the Zhao family, it has nothing to do with the people, the people He already feels very sorry for being disturbed by it, but how can he bear the people to change their sons to eat, causing the worst tragedy in the world, this is [-] shi of grain, specially sent to be eaten by the people in your city, don’t doubt it.”

Then, someone sent out a soul torture: "Dagan is also my Han dynasty, so what's the point of us resisting desperately?"

While everyone was waiting for the porridge to be cooked in front of the rice pot, someone asked, what if the dry army poisoned the food?
Someone suggested that it is better to find a livestock to try it?
But this proposal was met with blank eyes from everyone.

On the tower of Kaiyuan Gate in the south of Taiyuan City, Lu Yundi read the imperial decree of the Zhao Song Dynasty to cede Hedong to the Dagan Dynasty to Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Bao and the soldiers and civilians guarding the city in Taiyuan.

However, the defenders of these prefectures all categorically refused to surrender in Kaesong, and refused to carry out Zhao Huan's imperial edict.

After returning to Yanjing, Li Cun personally took charge of the governance of the Yanyun area, Hebei, and Hedong areas occupied by the Dagan Dynasty, and let his army and horses who went south this time take a rest.

Not long ago, after Yue Fei retreated from Zezhou to the city of Taiyuan, he let Lu Yundi, the envoy of the Song Dynasty sent by Zhao Huan to deliver the east of the river, enter the city, and ordered Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Zhi to open the door to deliver the city of Taiyuan.

Later, the supervisor Li wanted to bring hearty meals to these captured dead men so that they could have enough to eat.

Soon, someone arranged for Guo Yaoshi and his family to go to Yingtianfu by boat.

The next day, Guo Yaoshi took the initiative to dismiss all his slaves, including his concubines, and then secretly handed over all family assets to the state, and then asked Zhishi to take his family to the south for retirement.

but--

Yue Fei continued to follow Li Cun's instructions and sent Wang Gui to reinforce the encirclement fortifications outside Taiyuan City, and then he himself led the brigade back to Longde Mansion.

After Wang Gui learned that this was a matter ordered by Li Cun himself, he immediately took people to do it himself.

I don't know how long it was before Wang Ting said: "The matter has come to this, let's take a step and see."

As soon as Zhang Xiaochun finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed out to check whether the food was real or not.
Wang Ting could understand the feelings of these people who hadn't had enough to eat for a long time and became desperate when they saw food, so why wasn't he tempted by so much food?

Yue Fei reported the news to Li Cun immediately.

But there is really not much food left in Taiyuan City, and 2 shi of food is enough to support the [-] people in Taiyuan City for at least three or four months. If you save some food, you can support it for half a year without any problem.

Li Cun did not immediately lead his troops to go south again.

But Li Cun used to conquer the world. At that time, he would encourage the soldiers to surrender, so that he could attack cities more easily.

Because Li Cun didn't take care of the three towns in Hebei, he just asked Han Shizhong to send some Jinwu troops to take care of the three cities of Zhongshan, Zhending, and Hejian. Seeing that the Song army was powerful, they simply withdrew the 3 horses originally used to lock the three towns in Hebei to the north bank of the Tang River north of Zhongshan Mansion, and there was a confrontation with Zhongshan Mansion. The current situation in Hebei is for the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Still relatively optimistic.

Li Cun had to make some preparations first, such as completely occupying Hebei and Hedong first, such as defeating as many main forces of the Song army as possible.

After the food was ready, Wang Gui took his soldiers and sent the food to the city of Taiyuan.

To be honest, Guo Yaoshi has become unimportant since he solved Chang Shengjun.

Taiyuan Mansion has been locked by Yue Fei, and the nearby county towns, fortresses, and passes have all been captured by Yue Fei.

After repeated tests, Zhang Xiaochun and others determined that there was no poison in the food at all.

Lu Yundi looked down the city, and saw that the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City were all holding weapons and glaring at him.

After the man left the city, he came to the pile of grain cautiously, and then opened a bag of grain casually, and his face was immediately filled with ecstasy.

In Zhao Huan's view, the pacifiers of Zhongshan, Zhending, and Hejian, the three towns in Hebei, all knew that they were responsible for defending the land, and they would definitely stick to it and wait for help, and would not give up the city easily.

And these captured people all have one thing in common, that is, they are barren like ghosts.

It's not just food, it's the best new food!

Zhang Xiaochun, who hadn't had a full meal for a long time, couldn't help but said to Wang Tin: "Why don't you send a dead man to find out?"

But what Yue Fei never expected was that Li Cun ordered Yue Fei to send [-] shi of grain to Taiyuan City.

Pharmacist Guo replied, "You Hou."

After speaking, Wang Gui and the others put down the food and left.

Yue Fei was very happy and felt that Taiyuan City would not be able to hold on any longer.

This made Zhao Huan very pleased.

In today's Taiyuan City, even the rats have been eaten up by people, so how can there be any livestock?
Soon someone volunteered while drooling, "I'm not afraid of death, I'll show you what to eat."

When Li Cun learned that Zhao Huan still deceived Zhao Ji and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty back to Bianliang City in Tokyo, as he did in history, Li Cun laughed.

Some people see this and want to learn from it.

The man was so excited that he rushed to the city wall and shouted: "Zhang Xianggong, Wang Xianggong, this is really food, or new food!"

How could anyone be so stupid as to fund the enemy?What's more, is the funding still food that may change the outcome of the battle?

Someone was greatly moved by this, and took the initiative to say: "The city is about to run out of cooking bows, crossbows and leather armor for food. There will be no food for another ten days. The city should eat people."

Now, Zhen Wuchen has left the army and has been following Guo Yaoshi.

Song Jiang said: "Guo Xianggong's family is too rich, and he is afraid of killing Guo Xianggong."

After all, Li Cun didn't kill Guo Yaoshi, who was obedient and obedient, so that Guo Yaoshi's family could arrive in Yingtian Mansion safely.

In the days that followed, in order to save his life, the commander of the ever-victorious army, who used to be flamboyant and domineering, had no choice but to clip his own disheveled tail in desperation, and spent every day in fear...
