The military camp on the south bank of Zhuoshui.
The emperor said that the guards, the commander of the Ma Bu and the Du Yuhou, Guo Shao, led the six troops of the Hu Jie army to defend Zhuozhou.I admire this.A fat eunuch recited.Also accompanying the Privy Councilor Wang Pu, deputy envoy, came to inspect military affairs.
When Guo Shao heard the word Qin, the meaning seemed to be like the emperor coming in person, and he had to kneel down and take the order with both hands.Wang Pu came forward to help: The official family has finished speaking, General Guo got up.
Guo Shao really didn't want to get up, so he knelt down for them!
He finally stood up and looked up at the slowly flowing water in front of him.
Two cavalry soldiers were running from the opposite bank. The Hujie Army's defense was the clear and shallow part of the river. The two cavalry rushed to the river and slowed down, then rode their horses straight down the river, and rode their horses to the center of the river.
But the horse didn't understand sorrow. When he got into the river, he drank water and waved his head, and threw the water on the surface of the river, splashing water.
Seeing this, Guo Shao turned to the south, a green field... The Juma River was in the distance and could not be seen in his sight.
well.Guo Shao sighed and had nothing to say for a moment.
Seeing this, Wang Pu knew that defending Zhuozhou City was not a good place.The Zhuo River in front was shallow and could not stop the army; the Jima River behind was deep, which actually caused inconvenience to reinforcements and food transportation.
Wang Pu said: Please keep your guard.Regardless of whether the government will make another Northern Expedition in the near future, since our dynasty starts war with the Liao Kingdom, people must be kept on guard against the border.Since ancient times, when two countries fought, there was no reason that they could only fight others and not fight back.He thought about it and said, Zhao Kuangyin suggested that after the army was resting, he would seek another opportunity to fight the north; General Guo, whom he recommended, guarded Zhuozhou, and used this place as a stronghold on the north bank of the Jima River... Of course, in the end, the officials believed it was feasible, so he issued an order.
Guo Shao understood everything in his heart when he heard this. If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't done it on purpose, he wouldn't believe it at all!
He looked down at the river surface, thought for a while, then turned his head and said: I have seen Gu'an County. The walls are low and separated from Zhuozhou. It is unlikely that the division of troops will be able to become a horn, but instead disperse the troops...
I wanted to give up Gu'an, concentrate my troops to defend Zhuozhou, and focus on maintaining the western front; and asked the Longjie Army to garrison at the left wing of Qigou Pass. Advance can support Zhuozhou's situation but not to become an isolated city, and retreat can guard the floating bridge and grain road to ensure our supply line.Such concentrated troops to actively attack and defend against the north bank of Mahe River is more stable than passively defending the city.I hope Deputy Envoy Wang will give a good word in front of the official family and support this request.
After hearing this, Wang Pu pondered for a moment and said: General Guo’s strategy is quite good at fighting and defending. I will report it to the official family after I return.
When Wang Pu left the military camp.
Guo Shao summoned his generals and ordered the entire army to retreat to Zhuozhou to guard against the fact that the infantry was divided and surrounded in the wild... Without waiting for the court to reply, he gave up Gu'an directly; anyway, he had already told the Privy Council official Wang Pu, and Wang Pu also said it made sense.
The Liao army had a huge number of main forces, and Guo Shao was not sure how many were; but he knew that the Zhou army used more than 60,000 elite cavalry during the decisive battle a few days ago. In this way, the army also claimed that there were many Liao people and horses, so it can be guessed that the main force of the Liao army should be no less than 100,000 cavalry.
There are 100,000 Khitan cavalry, and there are usually Xi soldiers, the most trusted servants of the Khitans, who are very powerful... What is the consequence if they are divided and surrounded by so many people?
But as long as you rely on Zhuozhou City, you are not afraid.
The total force of the Zhou army on the south bank of the Juma River was estimated to reach 200,000, more than 100,000 elite imperial guards, and many local soldiers in the towns; as long as Zhuozhou is defended, Chai Rong does not have the reason to watch Guo Shao being besieged from the other side of the river... The elite of the Hujie Army is not Guo Shao's personal personalities after all; if Chai Rong really doesn't trust him, he can replace the military power in one sentence.
When the army entered Zhuozhou City, Guo Shao's suggestion was to strive to protect the hearts of the people first.
So military laws were posted everywhere in the city, and soldiers bullying the people were very strict from being whipped to beheading.
The army did not force the house to occupy the private houses, and stationed in the four gates to build tents; and occupied the official prefecture government office.
As expected, the effect was good. The Zhou army was stationed in the city and not only was not haunted, but also received the support of the Han people in Hebei, and it was easy to summon people to build fortifications.
But how long will it take to defend Zhuozhou?Guo Shao remembered the advice that Queen Fu gave him: After the Northern Expedition, he would return to Beijing at any cost!
He couldn't think of any good way to do it, and was worried that Chai Rong would keep him in the Hebei border defense for a long time.
According to previous practice, only the two armies of the Imperial Guards will often be divided into troops to station outside; the Imperial Guards belong to the emperor's real guard, and unless the emperor personally fights, they will basically be in Tokyo.
The Guard Division has only two armies: Hu Jie Army and Long Jie Army.Guo Shao's troops were also stationed in Zhuozhou, so the probability of him staying in the border area was very high.
...I don't know if it was because of my depressed mood, I might have caught a cold in a tent; in order to show my determination to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, Guo Shao also lives in a tent laying on the floor.
He fell ill after just two days in Zhuozhou.
The high fever does not subside, and he knows that he has a severe cold without taking the doctor's pulse.
The generals sent a doctor to visit him and asked him about his well-being, but Guo Shao ignored him.
He didn't care about the cold at all, and he was still worried about how to return to Beijing.
Do you take the opportunity to be sick now?
But I was afraid that Chai Rong would let him cross the Jimahe River to recuperate and leave the army behind; this is the most likely situation, there is no need to transfer the 20,000 troops... Just change someone to Zhuozhou, such as Gao Huaide; Gao Huaide's military position is the commander-in-chief of the Guards and Infantry Division, and it is most appropriate to come to take over the left wing of the Hujie Army.
Therefore, Guo Shao decided not to act rashly and just to waste his time on the situation.
His depressed mood was exacerbated by the sick physical discomfort, and he felt that the Northern Expedition was performing badly this time.
In Tokyo, he was full of fighting spirit, but he did not make any contribution to Hebei. As expected, no matter how much he denounced and hated foreign enemies, it was useless. If he could not defeat everything, it would be nonsense.
And you may not be able to go back here!
The dampness invades the body, and occasionally the wind evil is felt... A doctor was lying in a pulse before the collapse, and said, "The general can no longer live in a tent, so he has to find a comfortable and dry house to rest."
The provincial government and officials' homes have placed a large number of wounded soldiers left behind a few days ago, and it is difficult to rest when screaming and making noises every day.Lord, we can only requisition a private house nearby.Zuo You said softly.
Guo Shao didn't speak out, so he could let them arrange this matter.
At this time, the doctor said: Alas, the chief general of the Zhou Dynasty army had no place to live, but I really made the face of the Zhuozhou people blank.I have a humble room. Although it is a wall, it is quiet, with only two people inside and outside. If the general doesn’t mind, it’s better to stay at my house.
After hearing this, Zuo You immediately said: This is so good, it just makes it easy for the old man to visit the disease... a little reward is not respectful.Please do your best to make your lord heal quickly.
Guo Shao was sent to a house near the military camp in a daze. Sure enough, the environment was clean and quiet. The very ordinary tiled house and a wealthy house looked even more poor.
There is no special medicine in this era, and a cold may die if you have a poor physical fitness.
Guo Shao was not arrogant at all, and he did not object to living in a private house, so he could drink the medicine.
There were fewer rooms, so the personal generals Luo Mengzi and Lu Chengyong took turns to wait and take care of them; the guards could only stay outside.
Guo Shao had a sweat in the evening and found that he had subsided his fever the next morning. He suddenly felt that this folk doctor was really capable.
If you have a fever and a cold, you may also have to be hospitalized for injections and drip; this doctor cooked a pot of herbs and let him drink it, and it was cured a day and a night.
Now, Luo Mengzi asked the doctor to thank him and asked again: "Sir, do you respect your surname and name?"
The doctor said: I dare not, my surname is Lu, the general just calls me, Mr. Lu.A smile appeared on his face. The people of Zhuozhou often called Lao JiuDoctor Lu. Haha, it is suspected of being elevated, but it is only a medicine to cure some minor illnesses and pains.
Seeing that his carry-on bag was placed on the cabinet at the bedside, Guo Shao got up and took it over, and touched a gold belt buckle.
He immediately placed it on the table in the house and said: I am on the battlefield and there is nothing valuable on my body. Thank you to Dr. Lu for your little one. Please accept it with a smile.
The divine doctor Lu hurriedly refused.
Seeing this, Guo Shao picked up the buckle, pulled the old man's hand over, and slapped it in his hand: I am a martial artist, so I have nothing to say.I said I would like to thank you for giving it to you, so I will collect it.
He got up to clean up and got up to dress.The doctor said: Although the general's condition has improved, he should be able to maintain good results.You can stay here without having to stay in a tent anymore.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment: Does Dr. Lu have family members at his home?
Old Man Lu said: I have passed away for several years, and there is only one little girl in my family.
There are female relatives at home, so it is not convenient for the soldiers to live for a long time.Guo Shao said.
Old Man Lu said: The general’s actions in Zhuozhou City can tell you how he is. I am not worried.After hearing this, Guo Shao said: Let’s talk about it when I come back, now I have to go out.Third brother, I sent someone to call Li Chuyun to the Central Army.
Guo Shao went out and took a carriage to the headquarters of the Central Army.
After seeing Li Chuyun and other generals, he asked about the city defense and the enemy situation, and only felt relieved when he learned that there was no movement for the time being; Li Chuyun also asked many rangers to patrol north and south of Zhuoshui, setting up posts everywhere.
Soon after, he reported to the general Zhang Ying for a visit, and Guo Shao invited him in.
Zhang Ying is a new investor in Guo Shao.
When the Zhou army advanced northward in the early stage, the Han generals in Zhucheng surrendered and a small number of Khitan troops fled north in a hurry; Zhang Ying was the owner of the animal farm near Waqiao Pass. When the soldiers were in chaos, he took the opportunity to gather the villagers and rob the hundreds of horses raised by the Khitan soldiers on the ranch to pay.
Guo Shao then rewarded the horses to Zhang Ying, appointed him as the capital, and composed the dozens of brothers in his hands into a capital, giving him a generous reward.
Meet Marshal Guo.Zhang Ying is a thirty-year-old man with a big face.
Guo Shao said kindly: I'm exempted from gifts.
Zhang Ying said: Finally, I have a friend in Gu'an. In the morning, my friend sent someone to send a secret letter saying that the Liao army had occupied Gu'an City and was the man of Xiao Siwen, the general manager of the army in the South Court of Youzhou.The last general thought that this was military information, so he hurried to report to his lord.
The emperor said that the guards, the commander of the Ma Bu and the Du Yuhou, Guo Shao, led the six troops of the Hu Jie army to defend Zhuozhou.I admire this.A fat eunuch recited.Also accompanying the Privy Councilor Wang Pu, deputy envoy, came to inspect military affairs.
