Guo Shao looked up at the sun position that was getting higher and higher outside the tent. His subtle movements had exposed his heart and spoke very seriously: If Gao Yanqi had burned military rations, I would be very angry!

Yao Lian seemed to be wondering what the young man in front of him would do when he got angry.

Guo Shao's expression is complicated.

Of course, he could take revenge when he was angry, and asked Gao Yanqi and others to pay a heavy price to vent their anger, but after revenge, what is the point and what can they get?

So he won't do it.

He couldn't help asking: The situation in Shu Kingdom is hopeless, why did Gao Yanqi still resist stubbornly?

Yao Lian said: General Gao knows that Kuizhou must not be defended. Just ask the world to see the integrity and courage of the Shu people!

With such courage, why not go to the north to fight the Liao cavalry?What integrity can you be praised for when you are dragging your own people?Guo Shao stared at his face.

Yao Lian was speechless and could not refute Guo Shao.

Guo Shao looked unwilling and said slowly: You are not easy to live, but you will die without any help. Since ancient times, those who died in infighting or those who failed, can you get a good reputation after reading history books?Even if you don’t want to live, others don’t want to die!

Perhaps because of the tight time, Guo Shao spent a lot of talk and felt a sense of resentment in his heart.

After gaining power, few people dared to fight against Guo Shao, so he rarely got angry; but when he arrived at this position, he was angry, even if he was just a few words without revealing his scenery, he was quite scary.

It seemed as if a murderous aura was spreading rapidly in the tent. In fact, it was just an illusion, the atmosphere affected by his cold expression and the wind pouring in from outside the tent made the curtain sway.

Even Yao Lian, who was ready to die, was shocked.A person is not afraid of death, what else is he afraid of... Yao Lian has to think about it, he doesn't understand Guo Shao.

...Even Shi Yanchao, who originally thought it was boring, was owing his body at this time, and looked at Guo Shao with great concern, becoming very interested.

Suddenly, Shi Yanchao felt that Guo Shao was actually more terrifying than Yang Biao.

Yang Biao, the general who usually gets along the most, looks fierce and never listens to his words. It seems that others owe him money, but Shi Yanchao has seen a little longer that although Yang Biao looks terrible, he is actually quite straightforward. As long as this person doesn't do it on the spot and has no deep hatred, he will basically be fine.

But Guo Shao is different. Shi Yanchao couldn't help but remember the fact that Zhao Kuangyin was killed after his failure. It has not been long since.

Shi Yanchao said nothing and waited for the result very much.He was not expecting Guo Shao to start a massacre, but wanted to see what he would do.

Although Shi Yanchao teased Guo Shao's kindness from time to time, he was not disgusted with his kindness from time to time. What convinced Shi Yanchao was Guo Shao's generous pension to the fallen soldiers... This was something that the corps in the past did not do.

The people Shi Yanchao knew before and some of the people he regarded as brothers died, and died one by one in front of him, so he felt that it was okay for others and his own lives.

But if he could compensate the brother who died in battle, he felt a little comforted.

...At this moment, the messenger Yao Lian lowered his head and said: General Gao will not surrender, I think it may be because of Li Jingda's affairs.

Li Jingda?The general of Jingnan.Guo Shao pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that he felt the results of the negotiations from Yao Lian's words, and smiled immediately.His smile was very sincere, and immediately dispelled the cold murderous atmosphere just now. Our Great Zhou Dynasty and Shu Kingdom did differently. I will not be too favoritism, nor will I decide a person's future due to personal likes and dislikes. We are looking at the credit, how much contribution it has made to the Great Zhou army, and what he has done.We strive for justice, so that soldiers will use their lives. If they don’t fight, they will not be able to make a breakthrough.

So if you ask General Gao to rest assured, he surrendered and gave military rations, it would be a great achievement. I will not kill those who have made meritorious contributions.General Gao and Mr. Yao will be able to become officials of the Zhou Dynasty in the future with their merits today.

Yao Lian said: General Guo’s words today made me enlightened and understand the righteousness.I will return to the city this time and I will persuade General Gao.

Guo Shao nodded and said: Very good, come here, come on, I will write a letter to Gao Yanqiu.

At this moment, Zuo You stood up and said: Please go on an envoy, and you will definitely convince Gao Yanqi to fulfill his mission.

Guo Shao immediately said: It is not appropriate for Zuo Shaoqing to go.

Zuo You said: There is no suitable person in the army at this time, and this is exactly what I can do.When the Great Zhou destroyed Shu, the Dukes gave their respective strengths, but Zuo did not make any contributions, so he asked the lord to grant this opportunity to the lower officials.

Guo Shao pondered endlessly, and Gao Yanqi would still say whether he would surrender or not. What if he wanted to kill Zuo You before the decisive battle, wouldn’t he be heartbroken?Zuo You has been with him for many years.

Zuo You said: Only I can explain the ambitions and actions of the lord to Gao Yanqi.

Guo Shao looked up at Zuo You, and Zuo You smiled and said, "The big thing is important, the lord is not a person who is dragging the mud."

good.Guo Shao nodded and couldn't help but remind him, Mr. Zuo, take care of himself.

After preparations were made, Guo Shao sent someone to send Zuo You and Yao Lian back to the city.At that time, Yang Biao was ordered to gather 2,000 infantry soldiers to set up a formation in the front of the east gate, and Shi Yanchao led 1,000 cavalry to prepare two miles away on the flank.

There were soldiers under the city, and the sun was climbing towards the sky without realizing it. Guo Shao looked at the city tower and waited.

If Gao Yanqi really wants to leave the city to fight, there is no suspense. Not to mention that the Zhou army's 20,000 troops were outside the city, the 3,000 people who were preparing to fight alone could defeat Gao Yanqi's troops... It is completely imagined that one-sided battle situation. Once the frontal infantry fought, Shi Yanchao's heavy cavalry directly crushed the Shu army from the flank, which may not be needed for half an hour.

After waiting for a long time, the heavy city gate finally slowly opened.Then he saw a group of people riding horses slowly walking out, and he was tied to the front of the formation with a rope tied to him.

Guo Shao understood the situation and rode his horse to the front of the army. He saw the tall man with all his body being helped off the horse.

The man knelt on one knee and said loudly: Gao Yanqi, the defeated general, has now sealed the treasury, and led his troops to inspect the imperial guards in front of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Imperial Army Hall, but he asked for his death to apologize.

Guo Shao flipped off his horse and walked up. Dong Er and others hurriedly followed him.

Guo Shao drew out his short sword from his waist without saying a word, and all the people who surrendered in the Shu army were shocked.

But he just went up, cut off the rope on Gao Yanqiu's body with his own hands, and then held his arm and helped him up.

Gao Yanqi looked at the young face in front of him: Marshal Guo?

General Gao should not bear the responsibility for defeat in Shu Kingdom; he should not be worthy of justice in the world.Guo Shao remembered what he said to Liu Renzhan, looked at Gao Yanqiu's face and said sincerely, "A real warrior is not afraid to die, but dares to prove his value alive."Gao Zhuangshi lost a stage to show his talents in order to step onto a larger stage.

Marshal Guo... Gao Yanqi was moved immediately.

Guo Shao smiled and patted Gao Yanqi on the shoulder, turned around and shouted, "The vanguard enters the city, hand over defense from the Shu army, and strictly discipline the military!

……

As soon as Kuizhou was lost, the situation in the eastern part of Shu collapsed across the board, and Kai, Zhong, Fu, Yu and other states took the initiative to send people to surrender.

There were not many soldiers in these places. The guards broke through the hard-working Kuizhou less than half a month after seeing the Zhou army entering the Three Gorges, and no one was willing to defend it.

The capital of Shu Kingdom, Chengdu Prefecture, has a gray sky.

When Meng Chang heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the dragon chaise. He looked around in a daze and said: Who said that the blacksmith Guo had no ambitions and did the Zhou Dynasty with strong strength?

Wang Zhaoyuan.He immediately replied angrily.

Meng Chang asked again: Where is Wang Zhaoyuan?

The defeat in Kuizhou was so bad that he couldn't resist it for a long time and surrendered.The general who had just spoken bowed quietly.

Meng Chang burst into tears, pounding his chest with his hands and cried: Why?I treat Wang Zhaoyuan quite well, why did he abandon me... Isn't Wang Zhaoyuan Wolong?

Li Hao said out of the list: Your Majesty, what can Wang Zhaoyuan do to show his loyalty to Your Majesty and brag about himself?In the past, when Qin Feng was in the battle of the four states, Wang Zhao was far away in Hanzhong, yelling to recover Qin Feng and march into Guanzhong. Has he recovered an inch of land?If Gao Yanqi had not retired from Qingniling and the Zhou army would have made no sense of gain, Wang Zhaoyuan would have lost Hanzhong, let alone entering Guanzhong.

Meng Chang regretted it and said: I shouldn’t have listened to Wang Zhaoyuan’s flirtatious words. I was mistaken by him!

One of His Highness's generals said: Your Majesty, the last general has something to say.The soldiers who fought in the front did not receive heavy rewards, like Hou Mao, the Xingzhou defense envoy who was struggling to guard Qingniling, did not even provide reinforcements; the jester who flattered and beat the horse did not make any contribution, but enjoyed wealth and glory.This has been the case for a long time, so the soldiers are not destined to live and have no fighting spirit in the battle.

I regret Ah!Meng Chang raised his head and sighed.

...Mrs. Huarui, who was behind the palace, looked pale and said in a low voice: It's too late.

The hall soon became full of resentment, and someone shouted: Wang Zhaoyuan lost his important place and surrendered again. He should kill his whole family and confiscate his property and distribute it to the soldiers who killed the enemy!Everyone agreed and made a noise for a while.

At this time, Li Hao's voice could not be heard.

Meng Chang seemed to come back to his senses and hurriedly asked Li Hao: What should we do now?

It's Ah, what should I do?Li Hao was stunned and hurriedly bowed for a moment and said, Your Majesty is the king, and my ministers are willing to obey Your Majesty's orders.

Immediately someone shouted: Jianmen Pass is still in the hands of our country!The Zhou army on the East Road went deep into the army alone and did not necessarily dare to attack Chengdu. It is still possible to achieve great things!The current plan should be sent to reward Han Baozheng for defending Jianmen to the north and protecting the northern route; then gather troops to Chengdu Prefecture. If the Zhou army comes to attack, how can 20,000 people capture the city that is more than 100,000 troops defended?As long as they defend the capital, they will send people to various places to persuade the surrendered prefectures and counties to rebel, cut off the backroads of the Zhou army to the east, and let them never return!

People agreed: The northern road was not open, and only 20,000 Zhou troops entered Sichuan, and they dared not come to Chengdu yet.
