The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 295 Let’s rebel

Wei Renpu also sighed: "Everyone knows that it is not Duke Guo who wants to rebel, but it is the traitors in the court who are in power, the officials are ignorant, and they are ruthless and cruel to the good and the good. Such a lord and court are really not worthy of Duke Guo to continue to serve for him!"

Duke Guo raised his troops not to rebel, but to support the Qing emperor and eradicate the evil villains entrenched in the court!The Kaifeng Incident aroused fierce public sentiment in the world. Guo Gong raised his rebel army to go south to investigate the crime. He also wanted to suppress the traitorous ministers and help the country! "

Chai Rong also bowed down and said in a sad voice: "Father, please don't hesitate! Only when my army comes to Kaifeng City and forces the officials to hand over the evil leaders such as Li Ye, Nie Wenjin, Liu Zhu, etc. can we wash away the grievances of our relatives who were unjustly killed. Revenge!”

"My son-in-law is willing to follow his father-in-law, kill his enemies with his own hands, and comfort the souls of all his relatives in heaven!" Zhang Yongde gritted his teeth.

"You guys. Oh~"

Guo Wei seemed not to have expected that his closest sons, sons-in-law and close advisers would all express their support for him to send troops south.

"The soldiers are in danger and the war is fierce. How can I move lightly? The land of Hebei has only enjoyed peace for three years. How can I have the heart to avenge my personal revenge and trap the army and people of Hebei in war again?"

Guo Wei shook his head and sighed, "What's more, the Khitans are still watching in Ji County. Once Hebei's defenses are empty, the Khitan army will take the opportunity to go south. If Hebei is lost, I will be responsible for my death!"

Chai Rong clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "Are we going to stop avenging the blood feud of the whole family? Just sit back and watch Li Ye, Liu Zhu and other evil thieves singing and dancing in Kaifeng?"

Guo Wei said in a deep voice: "If the land of Hebei is plunged into fire and water because of me raising troops to investigate Kaifeng and avenging my personal revenge, then I would rather not avenge this!"

Chai Rong was unwilling to give up, lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

Zhu Xiu looked at Guo Wei, suddenly raised his hands and said: "The Khitan Central Capital Dading Palace is in rebellion. Emperor Yelu Ruan of the Liao Dynasty will never leave in a short time and has no time to take care of Hebei. If Guo Gong raises a rebel army and goes south to Kaifeng with the power of thunder, eradicate the traitors and clear the snow. Despite the injustice and hatred, as long as Hebei’s defenses can be rearranged before next spring, the Khitans will not have the chance to invade the south!”

Guo Wei glanced at him, but shook his head and said, "I don't know what you said. It's just that the Khitan people are fickle and cannot speculate based on common sense."

Zhu Xiu frowned. The Khitans were unable to go south in a short time. I believe Guo Wei knew this better than him.

Guo Wei used the Khitan people as an excuse to refuse to accept Chai Rong and Wei Renpu's suggestion. Could it be that he really lost his fighting spirit?

Zhu Xiu noticed that Guo Wei's dark and vicissitudes of life eyes were filled with a gray mist, completely lacking the brilliance of looking down on the world in the past.

Perhaps the murder of his family members was such a heavy blow to him that he fell into a state of self-blame and guilt.

That's right, when a person suffers a sudden heavy blow, it is inevitable that he will lose control of his emotions and his mentality. He will easily become sluggish, full of despair, and lose any hope and motivation in his heart.

If you can survive it, you will naturally be tempered into steel.

If you can't survive it, it's not impossible to sink.

Guo Wei knew that raising his troops to go south was not just for revenge.

The army was dispatched, and if you weren't careful, a brutal battle would engulf half of the country.

No one dares to guess how terrible the chain reaction will be.

Guo Wei was full of worries, coupled with the heavy blow of his family's murder, it made him want to retire.

Zhu Xiu was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Guo Gong cares about the world and is not willing to put the people in trouble for revenge. This kind of mind is admirable!

However, Mr. Guo might as well think about it from a different angle. In today's court, those who steal high positions are all a bunch of flatterers.
If Mr. Guo gives in, who else in the world can compete with these evil gangs?At that time, it will be the people of this country who will be brutally tortured!

Duke Guo is in a desperate situation and has no way to retreat. Only by fighting back and bringing order to the chaos can peace be restored to the world.

Only then can Duke Guo's ambition of "Guard my territory and protect my people" hung high in Tianxiong's tent be realized! "

Guo Wei looked at him with complicated eyes, twitched his lips, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said nothing.

Zhu Xiu continued to persuade: "The foolish king labeled Duke Guo and Marshal Chai as traitors and traitors, and even the family members of the Situ Mansion were killed on the charge of rebelling against the traitors. They were wronged by Jiuquan. Duke Guo could only raise the rebel army to go south and hold Kaifeng accountable. I have the opportunity to prove my innocence to the world, to clear away the grievances and stigma of my family, and to comfort the souls of my relatives in heaven!"

In Guo Wei's gray eyes full of lifelessness, a gleam of light suddenly lit up, gradually growing stronger and brighter, as if he was trying to dispel the haze in his eyes.

Zhu Xiuchang bowed his head to the ground and prostrated himself: "In public, Guo Shuai is responsible for the safety of the country and the country. He has the responsibility to eliminate the traitors in the court and bring justice to the world! In private, Guo Shuai wants to clear his family members of their crimes so that they can rest in peace as soon as possible! Commander Guo raised his troops to act in accordance with nature, to support justice, and to win back justice and justice, right now!"

Chai Rong bowed down and cried: "For the sake of the country, the people, and my family, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Commander, please send troops as soon as possible. The last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Zhang Yongde knelt down heavily and said bitterly.

Wei Renpu also knelt down and sighed: "Please don't hesitate, handsome master, to turn things around and return to the right path, it's just a matter of a thought for handsome master!"

Guo Weihao stood up, his bloodshot eyes showing a ferocious look, and his former majesty was rapidly recovering.

He clenched his fists tightly and his chest heaved violently several times.

With a crisp clang sound, Guo Wei pulled out the Yanling knife hanging on the bedside. The blade reflected cold light, which reflected on half of his face, and his tiger eyes glowed with a cold light.

"It's not that Guo wanted to rebel against the Han Dynasty, but that the Han Dynasty killed my children and killed my relatives and friends. It's too much to bully others! Guo Wei has no choice but to fight back!"

Guo Wei stared at Guang Han's shining Yan Fei Dao and muttered to himself.

"If he succeeds, Guo Wei will comfort the spirits of his relatives and friends in heaven, and from now on protect our country, our territory, and our people!
If defeated, Guo Wei will never harm the soldiers and civilians of Hebei, and he must die to apologize!
This oath, the emperor, the emperor and the queen, have learned from it! "

With a roar of a tiger, Guo Wei swung his knife angrily, splitting the cases in front of him in half!

"I am willing to follow the commander to the death!"

Zhu Xiu, Chai Rong, Zhang Yongde and Wei Renpu kowtowed in unison.

"Get up quickly!"

Guo Wei let out a long sigh, sheathed his sword, and leaned over to support each one.

Everyone sat down, and the atmosphere in the room was refreshed. It was no longer as lifeless as before.

Zhu Xiu's expression was indifferent, but he was really relieved in his heart.

When people live in this world, they must have a breath in their hearts.

This tone supports people's behavior and affairs, and once lost, it will become a walking dead.

His earnest remonstrance just now was to help Guo Wei reactivate the tone in his heart.

Guo Wei grabbed a towel, tied his hair casually, looked at everyone, and said solemnly: "I was in grief for many days, and I have been depressed for many days. Fortunately, you have relieved my depression, and I can cheer up again. Thank you very much!"

Guo Wei clasped his fists, and the four people hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to accept the courtesy.

Wei Renpu chuckled and said: "After a few days of hard persuasion but no results, Zhu Shaolang helped the handsome man resolve his depression as soon as he came. This is enough to prove that when it comes to talking skills, Zhu Shaolang is invincible!" There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Zhu Xiu humbly said Arch hands.

Guo Wei looked at him and sighed: "I didn't expect that at this young age, I would have to rely on you to enlighten me in the end. I have to say, what you said just now hit people's hearts.

What you said is right, Jiangshan Sheji is still controlled by traitors, family members and friends have not had any grudges, this commander really has no right to be slack and slack! "

Zhu Xiu said seriously: "The commander-in-chief is a hero among men. He is destined to go through hardships and tribulations before he can bear the weight of the country! The so-called poverty, lowliness and sorrow, you are here to succeed!"

Everyone was moved by what he said, and Wei Renpu couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "The poor and the lowly are worried, thank you for your success! Well said! Well said! Once these words are spoken, they should be regarded as good words of wisdom by aspiring people all over the world! Inspire countless young people from poor families to work hard!"

Wei Renpu stared at Zhu Xiu fervently, admiring and envious at the same time, as if admiring a piece of exquisitely crafted jade.

Zhu Xiuxin's hair was frizzy, but her face remained pale and breezy.

There was something wrong with the way Wei Suanru looked at him. Could it be that this guy was also addicted to Longyang?

As if there was a tacit understanding, everyone automatically ignored Zhu Xiu's words of "inheriting the importance of the country."

As soon as this sentence comes out, it reveals the unintentional meaning.

Everyone knows it, but no one will tell it.

The so-called raising the righteous army, questioning Kaifeng, the side of the Qing emperor, and bringing order to order for the court are all for the people of the world to listen to, and to find a fair and just reason for the rebellion.

To use the common saying in the market, if you dare to kill my whole family, I will overturn your table!
If you don't let me have an easy time, then no one else will have an easy time!

Guo Wei looked at Chai Rong: "How have you been in Ye these past few days?"

Chai Rong said: "It's generally quite safe. Several generals, including Shi Yanchao, He Fujin, Wang Yanchao, and Yao Yuanfu, all rushed back from their respective armies. They wanted to visit their father, but the son was worried about disturbing his father's rest, so he kept them away.

Several generals were very worried about their father's health and asked their children to visit him every day. "

Guo Wei smiled bitterly and said: "I was in a trance the past few days, as if I was suffering from hysteria. It was difficult for Da Lang to cover up for me for the sake of my reputation."

"The son hides for the father, that's where Gang Chang lies, the father's words are serious."

Guo Wei nodded, seeing some hesitation in Chai Rong's expression, and asked, "Is there any other situation in the army?"

Chai Rong said sadly: "Recently, I sent people to inquire about the movements of various armies. Most of the generals are former subordinates of my father. When they heard about the sudden change in Kaifeng, they were all filled with indignation and expressed their support for my father's army to move south.

However, there are also some generals who have some opinions on the matter of raising troops, and they advocate that the troops should not be moved, and we should first check the court's rumors before we talk about it."

Zhu Xiu understood what Chai Rong meant, and Yedu seemed to have a large number of troops. Some generals who were former subordinates of Guo Wei were angry that the imperial court was cruel and unkind, and were willing to follow Guo Wei in rebellion.

There are also some generals who have scruples and are unwilling or afraid to fight against the court.

In general, the opinions among the Yedu army are not unified, and there is no unified consensus on the rebellion.

This issue is related to the morale of the military and cannot be ignored.

Zhu Xiu frowned and thought, this is indeed a serious problem.

Wei Renpu added: "In addition, there is another troublesome matter. The attitude of Beizhou Yongqing Army and Xingzhou Anguo Army is unclear, and they have not expressed their willingness to support Yedu.

These two feudal towns, one in the east and one in the west, pinch the north and upper wings of Yedu. If the army of Yedu goes south and the two armies quarrel, I'm afraid it will cut off our army's retreat. "

Guo Wei frowned and was silent.

From this point of view, the Yedu army cannot move at will, and there are still a series of troubles that need to be solved urgently.

Zhu Xiu took out a letter from his collar and said with a smile: "The Anguo Army in Xingzhou has retreated all the way. This is a letter written by the old general Liu Ci. He asked me to forward it to the commander-in-chief."

"Oh?" Guo Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly took the letter and opened it to read.

"Okay! Liu Ci has expressed his support for me in the letter and vowed that he will never obey the imperial court's order and invade Yedu! However, Liu Ci's family is all in Kaifeng. He is worried that the imperial court will kill him, so he does not dare to express his attitude. Able to temporarily pretend to submit to the imperial will."

Wei Renpu took the letter, read it, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Ci and Master Shuai are old friends, and he is considered a loyal and brave man, so he can be trusted.

However, the current situation is chaotic, and it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Ci will not be at both ends. "

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, General Liu is sincere. He will never surrender to the imperial court. I can guarantee the Anguo Army."

Zhang Yongde also said: "We came from Xingzhou and had an interview with Old General Liu. Zhu Xiuxiao used his own interests to successfully persuade the old general to abandon the dark side and join the bright side. The Anguo army's military exercises and formations in Xingzhou were just for show to the court. "

Wei Renpu smiled and said: "Since it was Zhu Shaolang who talked about it in person, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, Zhu Shaolang is eloquent, and even Liu Ci can't escape your clever mouth."

Zhu Xiu laughed twice and looked at him resentfully: "Mr. Wei is making fun of me again."

Wei Renpu responded with a kind smile.

Guo Wei laughed and said: "Zhu Xiu has made great achievements since he arrived. Let's write it down for now, and we will discuss the merits and reward him in the future!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" Zhu Xiu bowed quickly and thanked him, feeling happy in his heart.

Chai Rong said: "In this way, the Yongqing Army in Beizhou remains in trouble. Wang Zhi, the military governor of the Yongqing Army, is not an old member of his father's commander. He was born under Liu Chong, the military governor of Hedong, and left with Li Ye and others when they were in Kaifeng. If you are too close, I'm afraid you won't be of the same mind as us."

Wei Renpu stroked his beard and said solemnly: "The Yongqing Army has [-] troops, and most of them are old soldiers. It would be a pity if they cannot be recaptured. Even if we send troops to suppress it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer it in a short time. What should we do?"

Everyone was silent, and no one could think of a good solution for a while.

Guo Wei suddenly asked: "Where is Li Chongjin now?"

Chai Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Chongjin came back from Shenzhou with me. Originally, my father ordered him to serve as the defense envoy of Beizhou, but this guy refused to take up the post even in Ye.

Then I heard the bad news about Kaifeng, and within two days he disappeared after re-entering. I sent people everywhere to look for him, but there was no trace of him yet. "

Zhu Xiu and Chai Rong looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

At this juncture, Li Chongjin actually disappeared for fun. It’s really not easy for older children to worry~
"Send people to step up the investigation and find Chongjin as soon as possible." Guo Wei warned.

"Father, don't worry." Chai Rong responded.
