On the surging Yellow River, groups of horse soldiers slowly crossed the river from the floating bridge.
Guo Shaole's horse stood by the river, facing the wet autumn wind, watching the long horses like long dragons.
The sound of waves seemed to be telling countless past events here.
The river bank and the pontoon bridge are full of horse soldiers, one person at least two horses!
After Guo Shao's western tour, he summarized the lessons of the Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year and adjusted the imperial guards.
The vast majority of horse-riding infantry were abolished and the infantry cavalry was allocated to the cavalry; thousands of good horses were obtained from the northwest. Now the imperial cavalry has relatively sufficient war horses, which further improves the cavalry's maneuver power.
However, because the horse-riding infantry no longer existed, the infantry's power decreased and it could not keep up with the cavalry's march at all.
This time, Guo Shao left Beijing and mobilized more than 50,000 elite cavalrymen, almost all the imperial guards and soldiers were dispatched.The only horse soldiers in the army followed him, and the cavalry of the Palace Front Division and the Guard Division were mobilized.The infantry did not dispatch.
Li Chuyun and Yang Biao came immediately and pulled the horse to separate Guo Shao. The two followed Guo Shao's gaze and looked at the crowd of people and horses on the river, like ants climbing on the branches.
Guo Shao ignored them and said nothing for a long time.
He opened his mouth and took a few deep breaths in the wind, but he still couldn't relieve the inexplicable depression in his chest.
He felt very heavy, as if something was pressing on his body, and his heart was beating very fast, and he felt a little nervous before he could even go into battle.
Sometimes failure experiences are not necessarily all good things, they can increase psychological stress.
If it weren't for the disastrous Northern Expedition at the beginning of the year, Guo Shao might be able to be as free and easy as before, but now he is really unrestrained; he is worried about failure in his heart, and he can't linger and cannot relax... A heart is hanging in the air.
Or maybe the consequences of failure are too serious, which makes him feel a little unbearable; too much expectation for victory is almost a mentality that must win.All of this made him feel heavy invisibly.
Guo Shao jumped off the horse, picked up a handful of soil in both hands, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and there was a fresh smell of soil.
The soil was stuck between his fingers, and he twisted it gently with his thumb and index finger, and his touch was very real.
This is not a dream, this is where he truly lives.
……
On the lobby of Yizhou Military Mansion, there are four large characters on it, namely the emperor's mu, and an arrow is nailed to it.
There was a mess below, a quiet wooden sign burning in the fire, a lamb leg on it was roasted yellow, and the grease on the skin was fried on the flames with a light sound.
Yelu Xiu Ge was sitting on the seat above, took out a knife from his belt, and rubbed it back and forth a few times on the leather cuffs.
The soldiers below cut off the baked layer outside the lamb legs and placed it on the plate, bowed their hands to the table in front of Yelu Xiuge.
Yelu Xiu Ge cut off a piece with a knife and placed it next to his mouth, licked the blade with his tongue, and started chewing it.
A nobleman sitting around pointed at the Han woman holding the plate and said a few words, looking at the wine pot on her plate.
At this moment, a Khitan man hurriedly walked in, walked straight into the seat, bowed his head and whispered a few times beside Yelu Xiuge.
After hearing this, Yelu Xiu Ge stopped chewing for a moment, then started chewing again, and after a while, he asked: Where have you been?
The Khitans said: Zhenzhou.
The nobles and generals below turned their heads and looked at the superiors.
Yelu Xiu Ge looked back and said: Blacksmith Guo is here and has just arrived in Zhenzhou.
Everyone was immediately uproared, and Yang Gun hurriedly said: The Zhou imperial guards are powerful, and our Youzhou army has few major generals and cannot compete within the Zhou territory.Please immediately order the general to give up Yizhou northern escape.
Brother Yelu Xiu sneered: Blacksmith Guo is here to compete with me several times, which is great!Don't worry, sleep for one night first and leave tomorrow morning.
Yang Gun said: The general must not act irresponsible. Be careful not to be besieged in Yizhou. Things are not going well.
After hearing this, Yelu Xiu Ge was a little displeased: This commander does not need to be taught by others.This handsome guy is not so stupid that he must compete with Blacksmith Guo to win or lose. He just wants to make fun of him. Others have to walk a lot from Tokyo to the north.
After hearing this, Yang Gun had to say: The general is wise.
Yelu Xiu Ge calmly ate meat and drank with the generals. After getting drunk, he said: Didn’t he capture the daughter of Sun Xingyou, the governor of Yizhou?Bring in to accompany everyone.
The next morning, Yelu Xiuge's troops all crossed the Juma River and stationed troops on the north bank of Zhuozhou.
……
When Guo Shao led the Zhou army north to Yizhou, he saw that the villages that were damaged along the way had long disappeared from the Liao army.
When they arrived at the post road outside Yizhou City, the soldiers along the way turned to look at the side of the road, and the atmosphere was very desolate.Guo Shao also saw the pile of things from afar to a close.
Jingguan... Wei Renpu's voice said in a deep voice.
The scene was very terrifying. A tall pile like a cone was built by the heads of Yizhou soldiers!Those faces were piled up, and the smell of rottenness spread in the air, which was a very shocking scene of fear.
Guo Shao's face turned pale, and he held the hilt of the sword in his left hand tightly, and a sense of humiliation and anger surged over his head!
The meaning of this kind of thing is very obvious. It is to show off its martial power and power to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to ridicule the failure of the Zhou army!
Since Guo Shao led his troops, no one has dared to show off his martial arts in front of Zhou army.The Liao people actually humiliated the Great Zhou so nakedly?!
But at this time, Yizhou's defeat is a fact, and the weak will be trampled on!
Guo Shao felt that being embarrassed and angry had no effect. He coldly ordered: Order the people behind to change the way, and send someone to burn their heads and then bury them to prevent the plague from breaking out after rot.
Wei Renpu clasped his fists and said: I will make arrangements immediately.
The gate of Yizhou City is open, and the burned houses inside are endless, and ruins are everywhere.
There are no troops guarding the city, and there are no people on the streets.
When I first entered Yizhou, this deserted and dilapidated scene, coupled with the classical architecture, makes people feel like they have entered a ghost town!
Guo Shao led his troops to the city from the north and south central axis avenue and came to the military government office in Yizhou. He and the civil and military ministers guard rode straight into the gate of the yamen because the door was open.
At this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the lobby door.Everyone was shocked!
There was no one around, and suddenly a woman with unclothed clothes and hair spread out, just like seeing a ghost.But in broad daylight, there is no possibility of a ghost, she is alone.
She walked over to Guo Shao and others in a daze, looking depressed and depressed.
Everyone was silent and couldn't bear to look at them.
I saw that her hair was messy, her eyes and face were swollen, her mouth and nose were covered with blood, and her skin was no longer as adults. Her body was covered with bruises and blood.
Guo Shao immediately guessed what happened to her, and his discomfort and shame were beyond words!
He gritted his teeth, and fire was about to pop out of his eyes.
This is a young lady he doesn't know, but Guo Shao is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has certain responsibilities for the people under his rule!
Everyone also looked at it silently and lowered their heads slightly.If people from their own country are so humiliated, civil and military ministers will not feel shining on their faces.
Guo Shao jumped off the horse, and without thinking too much, he quickly took off his cloak and wrapped it on the little lady's body to cover it up.The little lady just stood there without any reaction.
Guo Shao grabbed her hand and placed it in front and pressed the cloak, his voice choked: Sorry...
The ministers looked at each other, and the three words were equivalent to the edict of guilt.
Guo Shao gritted his teeth and said: I'm sorry for you.
The little lady was stunned, her face dumb and there was no reaction.Guo Shao turned around suddenly and ordered: Send the wounded barracks and ask the officials to ask her family where they are.
Look.
The blue veins in Guo Shao's temples all emerged, but his face gradually stopped.
With the order of Lu Chengyong, a group of guards entered the messy lobby first, searched around and cleaned up, and Guo Shao led the civil and military ministers into the inner and lower seats.
Wei Renpu Road: The Liao army had only more than 10,000 cavalry at most, and has retreated to Zhuozhou.Yelu Xiuge and Yang Gun cannot be willing to confront our main cavalry. At present, we can only expel the Liao army and cannot catch them.
This is also expected.Guo Shao calmed down a lot.
Wei Renpu Road: Immediately cross the river and occupy Qigou Pass, forming a surround force for Zhuozhou. The Liao army should soon give up Zhuozhou and escape north.The time is short, and it is possible that the population and money they plundered may not have enough time to transport them away in Zhuozhou, and some of them can still be reclaimed.
Guo Shao thought he was kind.
So Yang Biao was the vanguard and the first army left the southwest of Zhuozhou.
Shi Yanchao asked him to be a forward several times, but Guo Shao refused, which was a little unhappy; because he always played as a forward, but this time Guo Shao did not use him, saying that Shi Yanchao was prone to impulsiveness and rashness.
As expected, the Youzhou army of Liao Kingdom was not strong enough to fight against the main cavalry of Zhou army and did not defend Zhuozhou at all.As soon as Yang Biao built a floating bridge on the Juma River, he had to report that the Liao army had to abandon the city from Zhuozhou one after another.
After Yang Biao built the floating bridge, the Liao army was gone after the vanguard crossed the river.The Liao army ran very proactively and quickly, and could not catch up at all.
Yang Biao marched into the city of Zhuozhou according to the will and persuaded the generals of Zhuozhou to surrender.
Within two days, Guo Shao led the main force to the city of Zhuozhou. More than 50,000 cavalry set up camps on all sides, with a huge formation, and drove the emperor's ceremonial lord to the city.
The defenders of Zhuozhou were all Han people, and immediately opened the city to surrender.
Guo Shao did not blame them for serving the people of Liao. He ignored the mistakes, emphasized the contributions of the royal army, and rewarded them... Because there were still many Han generals in Youzhou, and every time they surrendered, they were fine, and they could save a lot of trouble for the Zhou army.
In addition to a small number of cavalry temporarily stationed in Yizhou, Guo Shao's army had more than 50,000 cavalry and more than 100,000 horses entered Zhuozhou. Then he took over the Gu'an County in the east without resistance. Zhuozhou had surrendered, and there was nothing to defend a small town like Gu'an.
Then the Zhou army swayed and established waterways along the rivers near the Cao Canal until the Juma River to the south of Gu'an.
To the southeast of Gu'an County is the intersection of several rivers such as the Juma River and the Zhangshui River. Guo Shao also ordered the soldiers who arrived in Hebei to build a dock and granary here together.
Then build a city wall to form a new city.
The north of Juma Hebei was filled with civil engineering, and countless materials were transported northward.But the battle between the two sides has never happened once.
Guo Shaole's horse stood by the river, facing the wet autumn wind, watching the long horses like long dragons.
The sound of waves seemed to be telling countless past events here.
The river bank and the pontoon bridge are full of horse soldiers, one person at least two horses!
