In early April, the Zhou army launched an offensive just half a month ago.
The Xiongwu Jiedushi of Qinzhou fled to Chengdu, and the Weiwu Jiedushi of Fengzhou was surrounded and killed in the Weiwu City. No one in Qin and Feng could mobilize the army anymore.
The Guzhen garrison believed that the walls of Jiezhen were too low, and Fengzhou to the east was surrounded again, so he rushed west to Chengzhou.
Guo Shao's troops occupied Guzhen without bloodshed.
In the northwest Qinzhou (near Tianshui City, known as Shangji in ancient times), after the Xiongwujie commander Han Jixun fled, he transferred the observer Zhao Qi to Qinzhou and ordered him to defend the city.
Zhao Qi felt helpless. As soon as he took over the city defense, many defeated soldiers came from the direction of Qinling Mountains and Weishui; no matter how the situation was, it was wrong.
He ordered his generals to arrest the riots and inquire about it, and then he found out that the Zhou army was marching into Qinzhou from the north and south.
At this moment, the Shu army seized a detailed work.He called himself an envoy of the Zhou army and took it to Zhao Qi.
The envoy tore open his clothes, took out a letter, handed it over it without being humble or arrogant, and said with his head raised: I am General Xiang Xun, the general of the Western Expedition Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty... He looked back and continued, and his commander Zhang Qi was the governor of the Western Expedition Army.Now the vanguard of the Western Expedition Army has advanced straight into the country and has captured more than 10,000 yuan, and has occupied Guzhen; the towns in Fengzhou are unable to fight again and fall into a siege, and Qin Feng is the most powerful force in the middle of the palace.Qinzhou is lonely and hangs outside the pass!
The Fengxiu Army and the Zhen'an Army have advanced to Qinzhou in two directions.Why don’t the general judge the situation and surrender Qinzhou?First, to avoid the trouble of Qinzhou, and second, to make a personal promise to Jieshuai that he would treat the soldiers of Qinzhou well first, and then ask for merit from the court, and recommend the chief general of Qinzhou to become an official in the Great Zhou...
Zhao Qi pretended to be angry and said coldly before the envoy finished speaking: It turned out that he was persuading to surrender. Come on, take it down for me!
The messenger raised his head and said: "Faith words are unpleasant. If you can't listen and insist on doing it alone, please let me take a pot of water."
After Zhao Qi retreated to the hall, his cousin hurriedly followed and said hurriedly: Qinzhou is an isolated city, and Zhou army is approaching.The messenger said the same as the description of the defeated soldiers. The messenger of Chengzhou also confirmed that Guzhen was occupied... Why not take the opportunity to surrender?If it weren't for the critical situation, how could Han Jixun run away overnight?
You follow me.Zhao Zi led his cousin to the signing room and said in a deep voice, although the generals in Qinzhou were panic and had no desire to fight, I was not familiar with them.If you say you want to surrender in public, what if a general rushes to chop us up with an order, what will you do?
My cousin hurriedly said: Brother means...
The governors of Chengzhou and Jiezhou are good friends. You can secretly leave Qinzhou, run to Chengzhou at night, and ask them to surrender with my handwritten letter. Then you will make even greater contributions.Zhao Qi pondered for a moment and said, Qinzhou asked me to do it, and then quietly let the envoy go away, sent someone to escort out, and asked Na Xiang Jieshuai to come.When the Zhou army arrived, I would like to adjust my confidant general to guard the east gate, open the city gate and let the Zhou army enter the city. Major matters can be settled!
……
A few days later, Weiwu City was captured by Wang Jing's troops, and Wang Huan, the governor of the Shu Army, died in battle. In mid-April, Qin, Cheng and Jie provinces opened the city to surrender.
The lonely city of Fengzhou was surrounded by several armies and became an lonely city.Wang Jing ordered a siege on three sides and a siege on a crazy siege day and night.
Guo Shao personally rushed to Fengzhou, and on the excuse of strengthening defense, he urgently retreated the First Army on the left wing of Hujie.
The army was mobilized westward one after another, and Guo Shao couldn't help but look back at Fengzhou City. A familiar scene was right in front of him. This scene was so similar to what Jinyang saw!
Fengzhou is backing on one side, and the city walls on three sides are full of people. From a distance, it makes people's scalp numb.
The Zhou army went up to the imperial guards and down to the local towns. It seemed that there was no second trick to attack the city, but only one way to do it: climb the wall without brainstorming.
In this situation, the whole city seemed to be a cake thrown on the roadside, crawling with a group of ants, and black figures kept falling on it. The smoke and dust rolled around it, and people's shouts could be heard clearly from two miles away.
There seemed to be a burnt smell of hair that was filled with fever, and there was also a disgusting fishy smell.Guo Shao stopped stopping and led his army straight to Guzhen.
In the evening of that day, the scout reported that someone had come to Tokyo.
Guo Shao hurried out of the military camp and waited outside the town. After waiting for a while, he saw a civil servant wearing black veil and round collar and green robe coming on a horse. There were several entourages and more than ten cavalry behind him.
Guo Shao had never been a civil servant, so he only wore the governor's uniform once, but he also roughly understood the official clothing of the Zhou Dynasty, and the civil servants who came from were not of high rank.
He is also very young, with a straight face and a steady sitting position on the horse. His face looks pale and thin. I don’t know if it is because of the hard work on the road.
Guo Shao stood still without moving with a hospitality smile.
The civil servant saw that the generals surrounded by a military general at the camp gate, so he got off the horse and bowed to ask: "The left-handed captain, Lu Dusun, is going to meet the vanguard of the Western Expedition, Guo Du.First in Fengxiu, Fengxiu colleagues told Guo Du to be in Guzhen.
I am Guo Shao, I have been waiting for a long time.Guo Shao said bluntly and said with a smile, "It turns out that he is a colleague from Tokyo, please invite Doctor Lu to the headquarters of the Central Army."
Lu Duosun hurriedly said: Congratulations, Guo Du has promoted!
After hearing this, the generals laughed and were very excited.Yang Biao, who was present, ignored etiquette and grabbed Lu Duosun's sleeve and asked: If you don't speak all your words, what position has my elder brother been promoted?
Lu Duoxun was stunned and couldn't take off his sleeves, so he had to say: Prime Minister Wang personally asked the officials to come and send the appointment letter. When he left the capital, the court did not know that the three states of Qin, Cheng and Jie had been recovered. This time, the Privy Council commended the people of Guo Du's envoy to win the merits of the Shu army in Weiwu City and Huanghua Valley.The lower officials have already informed the commander of the Western Expedition Wang Jieshuai...
Hold!Why do you talk so much nonsense?Yang Biao cursed.Everyone was smiling and didn't care.
Lu Duosun was scolded and forgot where he said just now, so he had to say: Hujie left wing commander, also the commander of Shangzhou regiment, and served as the supervisor of the Western Expedition Army.
It's over if I'm talking about it long ago!Yang Biao quarreled again.
Everyone didn't say anything for a while. I guess they were thinking about how big the commander of the wing was... The Hujie Army was one of the four elite soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty's imperial guards; the Hujie Army was divided into two left and right sides, which meant that Guo Shao's military power was theoretically one-eighth of the main force of the Zhou Dynasty's imperial guards, and of course they would be subject to many restrictions.
Guo Shao laughed and said: Doctor Lu, don’t be as knowledgeable as a martial artist, the brothers are all rough people.
No no.Lu Duosun followed Guo Shao into the military camp and mentioned casually, hoping that General Guo would say a few good words in front of Prime Minister Wang.He just saw that everyone was happy and took the opportunity to say something casually, and the generals might not care about such a sentence.
Unexpectedly, after Guo Shao entered the headquarters, he specifically said what he said: I know Prime Minister Wang of the Minister of Rites. His second son once ran to the imperial guards' camp to join the army. I sent it back and met him.If we can meet again next time, I will definitely talk about Dr. Lu's journey thousands of miles and then went to the front line to express his condolences to the soldiers.
A civil servant who is a civil servant who checks for omissions and makes suggestions by the emperor.Guo Shao thought that he didn't have any money to say good things anyway, so he was quite polite in his words.
After all, Lu Duosun was young. Seeing his behavior as if he had just become an official, he heard a general treating him so much and said sincerely: To be honest, he is a humble official, and he has just passed the Jinshi and was originally a secretary.I wrote a poem to Prime Minister Wang, and then I became the Left Master. I was so honored that I could get the entrustedness of Prime Minister Wang to come to send official documents and reward the soldiers in front of the court for the court. I felt honored and did not have any hard work.
If you pass the Jinshi, you will be one Ah from ten thousand.Guo Shao said casually, thinking that although he was close to a high-level general, he seemed unable to accept Jinshi as an aide.
Lu Duoxun said that the letter of appointment had been handed over to Wang Jing, the chief general of the Western Expedition Army.
Guo Shao had to talk with his generals. Lu Duosun was a civil servant who had read a lot of books and had nothing to say to the military generals. Apart from talking to Guo Shao, only Li Chuyun could say a few words from time to time.
After a while, the subordinates brought supper.A large basket of wheat cakes and two wooden barrels of vegetable leaf soup, and a few pieces of cured meat were thrown into it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Duosun was not picky at all. He ate three big cakes in a row, drank two iron cakes of vegetable soup, and chewed them with relish, throwing away all his elegant behavior before.
He suddenly found that Guo Shao looked at him with a smile and hurriedly said: My family is also a study student for generations, but it is a family of poor scholars.If the way of heaven is not good, it is often possible to eat bran and vegetables.This wheat cake is made of fine grain and is delicious.
After hearing this, the generals looked a little gentler when they saw Lu Duosun’s eyes.
Guo Shao said: The soldiers rushed forward and fought bloody battles. The generals cannot eat better than the soldiers. The food is the same. If you really don’t prepare any dishes, Dr. Lu will be used to it.
Yang Biao hummed: Just eat this food, we still snatched it from the Shu army, otherwise we wouldn't even have to eat wheat cakes.
The Xiongwu Jiedushi of Qinzhou fled to Chengdu, and the Weiwu Jiedushi of Fengzhou was surrounded and killed in the Weiwu City. No one in Qin and Feng could mobilize the army anymore.
The Guzhen garrison believed that the walls of Jiezhen were too low, and Fengzhou to the east was surrounded again, so he rushed west to Chengzhou.
