"Kang 哐哐..." A green-robed official with a few Zaoli was knocking the gong on the street, yelling as he knocked, "The Liao people are coming, Zhuozhou can't hold them, they all pack their things and head south. Hello!"
Guo Shao rode a horse around the street, and saw fires everywhere, the wood was burnt with black smoke, and a pile of charred headless corpses on the matches. Fastest chapter update
The sun is shining brightly above your head. If the corpse is left in the city, it is easy to rot and cause plague. And the flesh of those heads, brains and skull bones was dug up by people, then lime was put on them, and they were sent away in the morning. It can only be handled in a centralized manner, and if the court sends the reward money down, everyone will be divided equally.
Guo Shao asked Li Chuyun again: "Has the war horse been distributed to the commands?"
Li Chuyun said: "It has been divided. Now there are about 9,000 people in the Third Army, Fifth Army, and Sixth Army in Zhuozhou. There is a slight shortage of horses, and there are only about 300 to 400 horses in one command. However, some of the soldiers who were slightly smaller and less armored could ride on a horse for two people; it was only forty miles from Zhuozhou to Qigou Pass, and there was no problem."
At this time, a general asked: "Most soldiers have been withdrawn. Why are we still staying in Zhuozhou?"
Guo Shaodao: "It is best to wait for the main force of the Liao army to go south."
Li Chuyun turned around and said: "The court has not issued an order to withdraw troops from Zhuozhou... But if we stay here and be surrounded and the food won't last long, everyone is willing to stay in this city?"
The minister said: "I don't want to."
Guo Shao listened to them and bowed his head in thought. After being nervous for a long time, now I am not full of energy, and many chaotic thoughts flooded into my mind. At this time, he thought of the father and daughter of the Lu family. The genius doctor Lu had treated himself... With so many people in Zhuozhou, Guo Shao only had contact with the Lu family.
When he saw Lu Chengyong next to him, he said: "What happened to the doctors of the Lu master doctor, do you know?"
Lu Chengyong said: "I went to the Lu family in a humble position last night, trying to clean up the lord’s things. When we met, the Lu family’s father and daughter were fine; but the whole family of the Li family who ran the drug store was slaughtered by the rioters. He persuaded the doctor Lu in his humble position Hurry up and pack up things, leave Zhuozhou with the soldiers who left the city to **** the wounded soldiers last night, and head south. The genius doctor Lu, after listening to me, cleaned up and ran away overnight, now I don’t know where he is."
"It is a wise choice to leave Zhuozhou, and God Doctor Lu is a brainy person." Guo Shaodao.
At this time, there are still many people in Zhuozhou who are unwilling to leave. After all, the houses and properties that the local people depend on are here. Guo Shao couldn't accuse them of wanting money and life. In that case, there might be "why not eat meat"... Maybe for many people, losing their only property is also difficult to survive. They can only bet their fate on the thought of the Liao army chief.
Guo Shao can't help them. First of all, he is a military commander. Killing the enemy and being responsible to his subordinates is his first responsibility. He can do his best to restrain his subordinates from slaughtering and looting, but he has not been righteous enough to trap the entire army here for the people of the city.
There are still some people in the city who don't rush to take advantage of the robbery, so they don't care about them.
...In the afternoon, it was suddenly reported that the striker of the Liao Army in the north was heading southward and approaching the north bank of Zhuoshui.
Guo Shao immediately ordered the entire army to ride out of the city from the four gates on horseback and ran straight towards Qigouguan in the southwest.
The baggage, grain, and tents that had not been taken away were all thrown away by them. Zhuozhou has become a completely undefended and ruined city. The fire that broke out in the city yesterday has not been extinguished, and some places have almost become ruins.
As soon as I arrived at Qigou Pass, I saw all the generals who ran away first last night. When Yang Biao met, he said: "Qi Tuo from Xiangdu School has been called to Xiongzhou Palace."
Guo Shao said in his heart: The emperor mostly asked Qi Tuo to verify the situation of the melodrama. Fortunately, I praised Qi Tuo in the melodrama. This servant is honest and will not sell me, right?
At Qigou Pass, Guo Shao met Li Gu, who was in charge of food, grass, and supplies, and the two met with a sigh of relief. Guo Shao learned that Chai Rong hadn't seen civil and military for many days, and he suspected Chao Yunyun in the dragon body.
I also saw Ma Jundu Commander Han Lingkun. Everyone is a general of the Department of Guards. Han Lingkun did not embarrass Guo Shao. He sent a large group of chaotic soldiers across the river... How to deal with Guo Shao's running away, the officials knew , Don't have to worry about him Han Lingkun.
After crossing the Juma River, Guo Shaobu stopped in Yizhou for a while. Li Guyan had little food in Yizhou, and he had to supply Qigou Gate Guards; Guo Shao and others had to march towards Xiongzhou with the rebel soldiers.
At first glance, the left-wing generals of the Tiger and Jiefang Army are in chaos, and the ranks are chaotic. In fact, it is still under the control of a few people from the Guo Shao shogunate, and a military order can be deployed quickly, specifically to a unit commanding 500 people.
Guo Shao just came to face the saint when he learned that the emperor was in Xiongzhou.
Li Gu said: "I have figured out the situation of General Guo and the left-wing soldiers, so I have to rush back to Xiongzhou overnight to report. We will have a period later."
Guo Shao said: "Brother Li will leave tomorrow morning. It's not too late. I just want to have a memorial, please take Brother Li back to submit to your Majesty."
After hearing this, Li Gu said: "If this is the case, then I will leave tomorrow."
Guo Shao settled down that night, and the army lost a lot of tents. At this moment, I saw smoke in the barracks. People who didn't know thought there was a fire. It was soldiers who used herbs to smoke mosquitoes. There are no good days to sleep in the wind and meals. People tremble with the cold in winter, and it is not cold in summer...but there are many mosquitoes.
The Chinese Army had tents to live in, and Guo Shao immediately pondered the memorials in the account. This is the second step of his plan to return to Beijing: find a replacement for the emperor to stay in Hebei.
This person has no one else but Han Lingkun!
But recommending Han Lingkun directly may not be effective. Guo Shao thought about a lot of things involved.
...First of all, Li Gu revealed the condition of Chai Rong, which made Guo Shao very puzzled.
I thought about it again: The Battle of Shouzhou must have greatly accelerated the process of the Battle of Huainan and saved a lot of time for the Emperor Chai Rong of the Zhou Dynasty; that is, this Northern Expedition was earlier than in history.
In history, Chai Rong fell ill on the way to the Northern Expedition, and this is the regret of "failure and success" (actually there is no decisive battle yet, and victory or defeat is hard to say); but now, if people have fate, then Chai Rong should not be there. At this time, I fell ill, and the time was too early.
Anyway, Chai Rong should not die now. Li Gu said that the dragon's body was ill. Could it be that the Northern Expedition was unfavorable and that Chai Rong's health was not good enough to make him angry?
Guo Shao can’t figure out the emperor’s illness, nor can he tell when the emperor will die; anyway, it is certain that Chai Rong’s physical condition will not last a few years...As an emperor, his health is inherently bad. He was ill again and even the ministers disappeared; would he consider the safety of his own country?
...Guo Shao thought of this, ordered determination, and silently said: Yes, Zhao Heimian came first, asking me to be in a dilemma in Zhuozhou; don't blame me for also writing a letter to you.
He immediately wrote the draft, and the memorial was a petition.
Guo Shao quickly wrote in scribbled writing: Although the ministers defeated the great king Xiao Siwen of the Southern Court of Liaozhou in Zhuozhou, they were unable to guard Zhuozhou City; learning that the Liao army was going south, the whole army of the left armies of the Czech Republic was worried. Annihilated, I had to abandon the city and'turn in'. The minister knows that he has the heavy trust of his majesty, please come down to sin.
The soldiers on the left side of the Tiger Jiefang were exhausted, and the ministers were unable to guard the northern line. Recommend Ma Jundu commander Han Lingkun.
Han Lingkun holds 40,000 elite troops from the Longjie Army. There are 20,000 elites in the left compartment of Qigou Pass. Half of the guard Ma Busi is in his hands. He is also a battlefield veteran with far superior ability and strength. minister!
Han Lingkun, the commander of Ma Jundu, was a family friend with the Zhao family when Zhao Kuangyin's father was still alive. The friendship with Zhao Kuangyin has been long and the brotherly affection moved the entire imperial army!
The commander Zhao Kuangyin in front of the temple has outstanding talents and national humerus. All the generals who have the title of "Ten Brothers of Yishe" can play their own roles. Not only did many of Zhao Kuangyin's brothers in front of the Si Tie Cavalry Army, but also half of the guards were in the hands of his brother Han Lingkun. Zhao Kuangyin's brothers held up half the sky of the Great Zhou Imperial Army.
Chen Su asked those able to work harder, Han Lingkun under General Zhao’s Ministry did not guard the northern line and did not shoulder the important task of the country’s borders. Who would dare to be competent?
...Guo Shao’s “slanderous talk” was ostensibly praised, but in fact it pointed out that Zhao Kuangyin was very powerful, not only controlling General Si Tie in front of the palace, but also involved in the guards... The guards chief Han Lingkun was also a faction of his party.
These words can be seen by anyone in Chaozhong at a glance, and they are "slanderous".
But Guo Shao said that there is nothing to hide. He and Zhao Kuangyin are incompatible with each other, and both Chai Rong and the court officials know; since they are the opposite, isn't it normal to say a few bad things? What's the fuss?
Although it is slanderous, it is true. Chai Rong was reminded to think that leaving Han Lingkun could weaken Zhao Kuangyin’s power. Why not... Of course, if Chai Rong thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is a great loyal minister, both the front office and the guard can rest assured that he can hold it. Shouldn't be guarded; then Guo Shao can't help it. If Chai Rong could think that way, he really deserves to be given away.
Guo Shao wrote the memorial, and then passed Zuo You into the account, asking him to use his pen to write the article better.
Zuo You looked at it and said: "In this way, the official should keep Han Lingkun and let the lord return to Beijing?"
Guo Shao said: "I don't think the problem is big. Leaving Han Lingkun can divide Zhao Kuangyin's influence in the Department of Guards and prevent the general from becoming too strong; it can also tell me to go back and stare at Zhao Kuangyin... Why not (check and balance)? "
Zuo You reminded in a low voice: "The official dragon is really bad? Then the person he most wants to guard against may be Zhang Yongde."
"Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin are the same people, and Zhang Yongde still has the kindness to know him." Guo Shaodao, "After the Gaoping War, I know very well that Zhao Kuangyin can be reused first to rely on Zhang Yongde's recommendation."
Guo Shao pondered for a long time and whispered: "Zhang Yongde is the commander in front of the palace, but the cavalry is in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin... Almost all ten brothers hold key positions in the cavalry."
But why did Zuo You also say that Zhang Yongde was the emperor's most defense?
In history, it is true that Zhang Yongde first lay on the gun and was dismissed from the military power, and then Zhao Kuangyin took the position. Guo Shao thought that it might be a kind of mutiny rules and habit within the military commander group. After all, everyone in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms played mutiny and took turns to sit in the country very often.
The generals only obey the strong. When the successor emperor can't convince them, he must support or even force a military to assume the position; whoever has a high position will "force" whoever is in high position. Even if Zhang Yongde does not want a military change, he may be involuntary.
So everyone is thinking about the problem based on experience. If the Zhou Dynasty is really overthrown, as long as there is no accident, the person who should be pushed up is Zhang Yongde!
But what Guo Shao cares most about is Zhao Kuangyin.
