The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 527 Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case
"Start to attack Zhuozhou today, we must take it as soon as possible!"

Zhao Gou summoned the generals to gather together. He knew that the Jin soldiers had broken through the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and the next step was to go straight to the imperial city.If you do nothing at this time and continue to wait, it may be too late.

So Zhao Gou ordered the army to attack Zhuozhou.

"Marshal, why are you so impatient?" Everyone was taken aback and didn't react at all, but Zhao Gou's words made them all stunned.

"Everyone should know the result of the battle between Liao and Jin!" Zhao Gou frowned, and said in a deep voice, "If you guess correctly, it will not exceed three months at most, and Liao will surely perish!"

"If Liao is destroyed, our army is still waiting, even if we attack again, it will be too late. Because at that time, Liao will be destroyed, and we will not be able to contain the Jin soldiers. In this way, we will definitely be hindered from recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun."

Everyone thought it was true, and they all felt that the Jurchens were not credible.Because they are ambitious in the first place, if they are given a buffer time, then Song and Jin will go to war again.

After Zhao Gou's explanation, everyone no longer had doubts in their hearts, but readily agreed to attack Zhuozhou.As for the Zhuozhou defender, he has already figured it out, and he is still not afraid.

Then, Zhao Gou led an army of [-] to attack Zhuozhou in person.At the same time, the city of Zhuozhou was also gloomy.

"General, the spies reported that the commander of the Song army personally commanded the army to suppress the situation, what should we do?"

The general guarding Zhuozhou is Guo Yaoshi. Few people know about his life. The only thing known is that he was the commander of the "Resentful Army". He became the general of Zhuozhou.

Originally, the "Resentful Army" was to defend against the Jurchens, to avenge those who had revenge, and to avenge those who were wronged.Therefore, this army is also from Liaodong, but they are all made up of hungry people, which also led to the following things.

Because of the army formed by the hungry people, and this army was conscripted by King Yeluchun of Yan, it was divided into Qianyiying, Houyiying, Qianjinying, Houjinying, Qianying, Xianying, Qianxianying, Yanzhouying A total of eight battalions totaled more than [-] people.

It's a pity that this army repeatedly rebelled, and finally this "resentful army" was also dismantled by Emperor Tianzuo, but Guo Yaoshi really came into people's field of vision and became an independent general.

Guo Yaoshi sighed: "The Song army has won one after another, their morale is high, and there are tens of thousands of troops, and our defenders are only more than [-] people, less than a quarter of the Song army. How do we fight?"

"Now the Song army is invincible, and our soldiers have suffered repeated setbacks on the east road, and they have already lost their army. Now, Zhongjing has fallen again, King Jin has also died in battle, and Daliao is in danger!"

Everyone looked dignified and sighed, they didn't know this, the most important thing was that it was winter now.Even if they were from the north, how could they fight against the Song army under such an environment, lack of troops, and military supplies, food, etc.?

If the two armies fight, they definitely have no chance of winning, only defeat or annihilation.Even if everyone is unwilling to face it, they have to face this problem. They are really powerless.

Now they all feel like they are alone, isolated and helpless.They didn't want to ask for help rashly, otherwise they would be the same as Xiao Pu, and it would be irreparable.

Therefore, everyone is thinking about what to do.

"General, let's surrender!"

Guo Yaoshi refused righteously and said: "Surrender? How will the world treat me, Guo Yaoshi, and how will I see the emperor?"

As long as someone starts, there will be a steady stream of followers behind, and they also agree to surrender.If there is a choice between death and life, no one will give up life and choose death.

Amidst the unanimous approval of everyone, Guo Yaoshi reluctantly agreed.In fact, he had already opened his mind and said that the person who started it was also his, and he deliberately threw bricks to attract jade, so as to show his wisdom and benevolence, and he agreed under the persuasion of everyone.

"I'll write the letter of surrender!" Guo Yaoshi agreed 'reluctantly', but what he said was not what he wrote.

When he finished writing the letter of surrender, he immediately sent someone to the Song Army camp and handed it over to the Song Army commander, waiting for his response.As long as Zhao Gou agrees, he will open the city gate and surrender.

Zhao Gou took the letter of surrender from the messenger, and saw that Guo Yaoshi was "dedicated and loyal" written on it, which made Zhao Gou depressed.

Because Guo Yaoshi expressed his strong sense of identity with the Song Dynasty in the surrender letter, and also strongly stated that he was from the Song Dynasty, not from the Liao Dynasty.In addition, Guo Yaoshi also expressed his loyalty to Liao, but he was not reused, and he was forced to surrender to Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this surrender letter. He really didn't expect Guo Yaoshi to be really talented. It was to show his loyalty, but Zhao Gou followed up with this surrender letter, and he agreed to ask someone to report back.

"Marshal, who is this Guo Yaoshi?"

"Don't worry about this, anyway, in a word, we can get Zhuozhou without any effort!" Zhao Gou smiled indifferently, and said: "Since we won without fighting, then we just accept it. As for this People don't care for now!"

The Song army marched southward in a mighty way. When the army arrived outside the city of Zhuozhou, Guo Yaoshi, the defender of Zhuozhou, led 8000 people to gather outside the city gate. The gate opened and knelt down to welcome the Song army.

In addition, Guo Yaoshi not only gave up Zhuozhou, but also Yizhou.At the same time, the generals who surrendered also included Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou and so on.

Zhao Gou led a large army into the city and drove straight in.In this way, Zhuozhou and Yizhou were obtained without losing any soldiers, and Zhao Gou did not split them up, and directly let them still use the title of "Ever-Victorious Army", but they all belonged to Liu Guangshi's subordinates, that is, It is said that they have completely become the Song Army now, and Liu Guangshi is their general.

Zhao Gou, who originally thought that there would be a big battle, did not expect such a result.However, these results were also expected.Because of this result, Zhao Gou already knew it.

Moreover, Zhao Gou told Liu Guangshi again: "General Liu, you have to keep an eye on them all the time!"

Liu Guangshi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded solemnly.Zhao Gou's words showed distrust of them, because although there are not many Guo pharmacists recorded in history, Zhao Gou also knew that he could not be trusted completely.

Because Guo Yaoshi was not born as a general, nor was he a literati, but the leader of an army composed of hungry people.

If he was not forced to, Guo Yaoshi would not really surrender.Because of his background, his subconscious allegiance is to himself. Even if it is reused, he will not really fight to the death, let alone sacrifice his life for the country. He values ​​his wealth and life more.

As for Liao or Song, these are not important, the important thing is my future and my life.

Therefore, Zhao Gou told Liu Guangshi to pay attention, just in case.
