Bangbangbangbangbang... A green-robed official was ringing the gong on the street with a few Zao Li, yelling while beating, "The Liao people are coming, and Zhuozhou cannot be defended, so they pack up their things and walk to the south!"
Guo Shao rode around the street on his horse and saw fire everywhere, burning black smoke filled with firewood, and a pile of burnt headless corpses on the matches he was carrying.
The sun shines brightly on your head. If the body is thrown in the city and ignores it, it is easy to rot and cause plague.
There were also those heads, brains and flesh in the skulls, and people dug up them, and they put lime on them, which had been sent away in the morning.
We can only deal with it in a centralized manner. If the court sends the reward money, everyone will share it equally.
Guo Shao asked Li Chuyun again: Are there commands of the war horses distributed?
Li Chuyun said: It has been divided. There are still about 9,000 people in Zhuozhou's Third Army, Fifth Army and Sixth Army.If there is a slight shortage of horses, there are only about 300 to 400 horses in one command.However, some soldiers who were slightly smaller and had few armors could ride on one horse; Zhuozhou was only forty miles from Qigou Pass, so there was no problem.
At this time, a general asked: Most of the troops have been withdrawn, what are we still staying in Zhuozhou?
Guo Shao said: It is best to wait for the main force of the Liao army to move south.
Li Chuyun turned around and said: The court has not issued an order to withdraw troops from Zhuozhou... But if we are surrounded and cannot eat food for long, everyone is willing to stay in this city?
The general said: I don’t want to.
Guo Shao listened to their discussions and lowered his head to ponder.
After a long period of mental tension, I am now inactive and many chaotic thoughts are pouring into my mind.
At this time, he remembered the father and daughter of the Lu family. The miracle Doctor Lu had treated him... There were so many people in Zhuozhou, and Guo Shao had only had contact with the people of the Lu family.
When he saw Lu Chengyong beside him, he said: What happened to the people from Doctor Lu’s family? Do you know?
Lu Chengyong said: I went to the Lu family last night and wanted to clean up my lord’s things.After meeting, the Lu family's father and daughter were fine; however, the Li family, who opened a pharmacy, was slaughtered by the scattered soldiers.Bei Zhi advised Doctor Lu to pack up his things and leave Zhuozhou with the soldiers who escorted the wounded soldiers in Licheng last night and walk south.After hearing what I said, Doctor Lu cleaned up his body and ran away overnight, and now he didn't know where he was.
Leaving Zhuozhou is a wise choice, and Doctor Lu is a smart person.Guo Shao said.
At this time, many people in Zhuozhou were unwilling to leave. After all, the houses and property that local people rely on for survival were all here.
Guo Shao cannot accuse them of seeking money but not having life. In that case, why not eat meat... Perhaps for many people, losing their only property is also difficult to survive.
They could only bet on their fate with the thoughts of the Liao army's chief general.
Guo Shao couldn't help them. He was first a military general. Killing the enemy and being responsible to his subordinates was his primary responsibility.
He could do his best to restrain his subordinates from slaughtering and looting, but he was not as kind as to the point where he had put the entire army here for the people in the city.
There are still some people in the city who don’t rush to run away and rob property while the chaos is taking advantage of the situation, so they don’t care about them.
...In the afternoon, the northern Liao army vanguard suddenly reported that the northern Liao army vanguard headed south and headed straight to the north bank of Zhuo River.
Guo Shao immediately ordered the entire army to ride horses out of the city from the four gates and run straight towards Qigou Pass in the southwest.
They threw away all the supplies, food, and tents that had not been taken away.
Zhuozhou has become a completely unprepared and defeated city. Some of the fires that occurred in the city yesterday have not been put out yet, and some places have almost become ruins.
As soon as he arrived at Qigou Pass, he met the generals who ran away last night. When Yang Biao met, he said: Qi Tuo, the Xiangdu School, was summoned to the Xiongzhou Palace.
After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself: The emperor mostly asked Qi Tuo to verify the situation in the memorial. Fortunately, I praised Qi Tuo in the memorial. This guy is honest, so he won’t sell me, right?
At Qigou Pass, Guo Shao met Li Gu who was in charge of food and supplies again. The two met and sighed and greeted each other.Guo Shao learned that Chai Rong had not seen civil and military officials for many days and suspected that the dragon's body was in trouble.
He also met Han Lingkun, the commander of the Ma Jun. Everyone was a general of the Guards Department. Han Lingkun did not make things difficult for Guo Shao and let a large group of chaotic soldiers cross the river... The officials knew how to deal with Guo Shao and ran away, so Han Lingkun didn't have to worry about him.
After crossing the Juma River, Guo Shao's troops stopped in Yizhou.Li Gu said that Yizhou had little grain and had to supply Qigou Pass defenders; Guo Shao and others had to lead the riots to march towards Xiongzhou.
At first glance, the generals of the Hujie Army's left wing were in chaos and the army was in chaos and collapsed.
In fact, it is still under the control of several people from Guo Shao's shogunate. A military order can be deployed quickly, specifically to a unit that commands 500 people.
Guo Shao learned that the emperor was in Xiongzhou and happened to meet the saint.
Li Gu said: I have figured out the situation of General Guo and the soldiers in the left wing, so I have to rush back to Xiongzhou to report overnight.We will have a date later.
Guo Shao said: Brother Li is not too late to leave tomorrow morning.I happened to want to submit a memorial, so I asked Brother Li to take it back and present it to His Majesty.
After hearing this, Li Gu said: Since that's the case, then we will set off tomorrow.
Guo Shao came to camp that night and lost a lot of tents in the army. At this moment, the military camp was filled with smoke. Those who didn't know thought a fire had occurred.
It was the soldiers who made herbs to smoke the mosquitoes.
There is no good day to sleep in the wind or in the open. It makes people tremble in winter, but it is not cold in summer... but there are many mosquitoes.
The central army had a tent to live in, so Guo Shao immediately thought about writing a memorial in the tent.This is the second step of his plan to return to Beijing: find a replacement for the emperor who stayed in Hebei.
This person has no one else, it’s Han Lingkun!
But directly recommending Han Lingkun may not necessarily work.Guo Shao thought about a lot of things that were involved.
...First of all, Li Gu revealed Chai Rong's condition, which made Guo Shao very puzzled.
I thought about it again: the Battle of Shouzhou must have greatly accelerated the progress of the Huainan Battle and saved a lot of time for the Zhou Dynasty emperor Chai Rong; that is, this Northern Expedition was earlier than in history.
In history, Chai Rong fell ill during the Northern Expedition, which made him regretful of success (in fact, there has been no decisive battle yet, and it is hard to say that he won or lost); but now, if people have fate, Chai Rong shouldn't have fallen ill at this time, as time is too early to match.
Anyway, Chai Rong shouldn't have died now.What Li Gu said about Long's body was ill. Could it be that the decisive battle of the Northern Expedition was unfavorable, and Chai Rong's health was not good, which made him angry?
Guo Shao couldn't figure out the emperor's condition, nor could he tell when the emperor died; anyway, it was certain that Chai Rong's physical condition would not last a few years... As an emperor, his health was not good, and he was sick and he didn't even see his ministers; would he consider the safety of his own country?
...When Guo Shao thought of this, he ordered his determination and said silently: Damn, Zhao Hei-faced is the first to be a secret person, and he told me to be in a dilemma in Zhuozhou; don't blame me for writing a letter to say a few words to you.
He immediately picked up his pen and wrote a draft, and the name of the memorial was apology.
Guo Shao wrote quickly in a sloppy brush: Although I was defeated by Xiao Siwen, the king of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom in Zhuozhou, I was unable to defend Zhuozhou City. When I learned that the Liao army was heading south, I was worried that the entire army of the Hujie Army's left wing was wiped out, so I had to abandon the city and "turn forward".I know that I have been entrusted by Your Majesty, so I ask Your Majesty to surrender your crime.
The soldiers of the Hujie Army's left wing were exhausted, and the ministers were unable to defend the northern line.Recommended Han Lingkun, the commander of the Ma Army.
Han Lingkun had 40,000 elite soldiers in Longjie Army, and there were 20,000 elite soldiers in the left wing of Qigou Pass, and half of the guards and horse brigade were in his hands. He was also a long-time general on the battlefield, and his abilities and strength were far superior to those of the weak ministers!
Han Lingkun, the commander of the Ma Army, made friends with the Zhao family when Zhao Kuangyin's father was still alive. He made friends with Zhao Kuangyin for a long time and his brotherly feelings moved the entire imperial guard!
Zhao Kuangyin, the commander in front of the palace, had outstanding talents and a national humble state. All the generals named "Ten Brothers of Yishe" could stand on their own.
Not only were there many of Zhao Kuangyin's brothers in the Iron Cavalry Army in the Palace, but even half of the Guards were in the hands of his brother Han Lingkun.
Zhao Kuangyin and his brothers supported half of the imperial guards in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I always ask the capable ones to work hard. Han Lingkun, the subordinate of General Zhao, did not defend the northern line or shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country's border preparations. Who dares to be competent?
...Guo Shao's slander was a compliment on the surface, but in fact he pointed out that Zhao Kuangyin was very powerful. He not only controlled the Iron General of the Palace Front Office, but also involved in the Guard Office... The Guard Office Han Lingkun was also a fact that his party members were involved.
Anyone in the court can see these words at a glance and can see that they are slander.
But Guo Shao said there was nothing to hide. He and Zhao Kuangyin were incompatible, and Chai Rong and the court officials knew it. Since they were the opponent, wouldn’t it be normal to say a few bad things? What’s the fuss?
Although it is slander, it is the truth.
Chai Rong was reminded to think that keeping Han Lingkun could still weaken Zhao Kuangyin's power, why not... Of course, if Chai Rong felt that Zhao Kuangyin was a great loyal minister, the Palace Front Office and the Guard Office could be assured that he should not be prepared for it; then Guo Shao would have no choice.
If Chai Rong could think so, he deserved to be for nothing.
Guo Shao wrote the memorial and sent it to Zuo You to submit the account, asking him to write the article better.
After seeing it, Zuo You said: In this way, the official family should keep Han Lingkun and let the lord return to the capital?
Guo Shao said: I don’t think the problem is big.Leaving Han Lingkun can not only differentiate Zhao Kuangyin's influence in the Guards Department and prevent the general from being too strong; but also ask me to go back and stare at Zhao Kuangyin... Why not (check and balance)?
Zuo You whispered: Is the dragon body of the official family really not good?The person he wants to be most wary of may be Zhang Yongde.
Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin were together, and Zhang Yongde also had the kindness of knowing him.Guo Shao said, after the Battle of Gaoping, I was very clear about what Zhao Kuangyin could be reused first, thanks to Zhang Yongde's recommendation.
Guo Shao pondered for a long time and whispered: Zhang Yongde is the head general of the front office of the palace, but the Iron Cavalry is in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin... Almost all of the ten brothers hold key positions in the Iron Cavalry.
But why did Zuo You also say that the emperor was most cautious about Zhang Yongde?
In history, it was indeed Zhang Yongde who was first removed from his military power after being shot, and then Zhao Kuangyin took office.
Guo Shao thought that it might be a mutiny rule and habit within the military general group. After all, everyone in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is very skilled in playing mutiny and taking turns to take turns to play.
Military generals only obey the strong. When the successor emperor cannot convince them, they must support or even force a military general to take office in the future. If anyone has a higher position, they will force anyone. Even if Zhang Yongde does not want to mutiny, he may be in control.
Therefore, everyone thinks about the problem based on experience. If the Zhou Dynasty is really overthrown, the person who should be pushed up is Zhang Yongde!
But what Guo Shao is most concerned about is Zhao Kuangyin.
Guo Shao rode around the street on his horse and saw fire everywhere, burning black smoke filled with firewood, and a pile of burnt headless corpses on the matches he was carrying.
The sun shines brightly on your head. If the body is thrown in the city and ignores it, it is easy to rot and cause plague.
There were also those heads, brains and flesh in the skulls, and people dug up them, and they put lime on them, which had been sent away in the morning.
We can only deal with it in a centralized manner. If the court sends the reward money, everyone will share it equally.
