Chapter 230: The Trick of the Three Slaves (I)
Man is the most advanced animal in the world.
Because of the superiority, but also the most selfish animal.
Liu Qi grasped the common nature of human beings, and accompanied by the five elders of Zhi Yanzhi, Zhi Meifeng, Jin Nu and Shenxiao, he came uninvited and broke into the meeting hall of the Zhi family. The purpose is very simple and simple, that is, I hope that he can use his sincerity to move the Zhejia people first, and then start the next step of peace talks.
It is this selfish nature that allows Liu Qi to witness Zhe Meifeng's nephew. In the ensuing negotiations, the Zhejia family, like everyone else in the world, began to show more selfish nature in front of Liu Qi.
But no matter who is selfish or narrow-minded, the general trend of the world is now that the king of faith will inevitably occupy half of the mountain, Liu Qi's confidence is enough, and the family will have no confidence.
At this point, it is destined that the process of integration negotiations will be dominated by Liu Qi, who represents the new court of King Xin.
And the selfishness of the folding generals can only create some small troubles and add some small materials for Liu Qi to a very small extent. This is no longer a problem for a person like Liu Qi, who is only 28 years old but has been alive for 14 years......
……
At almost the same time that Liu Qi and the Zhejia generals began the Fuzhou peace talks, Zhang Suo and Zong Ze led an army of 200,000 and ran all the way with the power of the new Jiejie to recover Taiyuan. Passed through the state and rushed straight into the boundary of Daizhou.
Zhang Yang's 10,000 horses have been circling Daizhou City in the past few days, harassing and fighting sparrow battles everywhere in Yanmen Pass, disturbing Lou Room and Guo Qizhong and others in the city to sleepless at night.
After learning that Zong Ze and Zhang Suo led the troops to arrive, Zhang Yang, who had been playing with Jin Bing for a few days, finally had the confidence, no longer just a straggler guerrilla, but gathered all the soldiers and horses in one place that morning, all blocked in the direction of the north gate of Daizhou City, cutting off the passage between Daizhou and Yanmen Pass.
On the top of the city. Lou Mu saw that outside the north gate, he was waiting for a solemn battle, and he was blocking there with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Suddenly I got angry.
"Straight mother. Why didn't this thief continue to play that tricky tactics with us, but gathered heavy troops to block the north gate? Wan Yan Lou looked at the flamboyant military formation and scolded viciously.
Guo Qizhong, who was standing beside him, seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "There must be two hundred firearms for every thousand enemies, and there are also instruments that can throw thunder bullets for every thousand enemies. Now that the enemy of 10,000 people is so assembled, the Song army must have at least 2,000 guns. But with those firearms, it will be difficult for our army to resist! ”
Heard Guo Qizhong say this. Lou Mu turned his head sharply, glared at him fiercely and said, "Straight mother thief, what's the matter, are you afraid of these Song dogs?" ”
Shocked by the angry words, Guo Qizhong raised his head hurriedly, and immediately bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The handsome man is here, what is the last general afraid of." It's just that the last general is thinking about how to deal with the firearms of the Song army, and only by minimizing the casualties of our army is the best way to break the enemy! ”
"Want to die less?" After listening to Guo Qizhong's words, Lou Mu's face softened slightly: "Unless I am also here with a team composed of masters like the 'Loyal and Filial Piety Army', how do you think that with the soldiers under you and me, how can we break the 10,000 horses of the thieves with fewer deaths?" ”
Guo Yaoshi, who had been staring at the outside of the city with his eyes firmly and had been beaten by Zhang Yang a few days ago, had lost nearly half of his 2,000 soldiers and horses, suddenly stepped forward and fell on the battlement when Lou finished speaking.
"Marshal, the last general has thought of a way."
His eyes were firmly fixed on the Zhang Yang headquarters outside the city, and Guo Yaoshi said with a solemn face and a frown: "Although the firearms of the Song army are sharp, they all rely on the advantages of the formation to bombard our army. But the end will come every time. It was observed that after each bombardment, the Song army inevitably changed from the front team to the rear team to reload gunpowder and projectiles. At that time, there was about half a cup of tea. ”
"So what?"
I saw Pharmacist Guo lying on the wall, looking at Song Ying and saying these words. Wan Yan Lou Room, who didn't like Guo Yaoshi very much, said angrily: "The Song army needs half a cup of tea to reload, but its front team retreated, and the rear team immediately came up. Do you think the Song army will give our army a chance to launch a cavalry charge? ”
Straightened up, turned his head, and looked at Lou Room, but after Guo Yaoshi finished speaking, he sneered: "The 10,000 Song army and our army have been fighting in Wutai Mountain for a long time, and their gunpowder and projectiles must not be left. If the last general casts the method of sprinkling beans, he uses fake soldiers to lure the black guy to send troops to bombard. After exhausting the enemy's gunpowder and projectiles, are these 10,000 people still the opponent of our army? ”
It had been nearly half a month since the fierce battle between the two armies, and Zhang Yang and his 10,000 men were still able to get a steady stream of ammunition from the transporters during the previous guerrilla warfare in the mountains.
However, in the past two days, he led his troops completely out of the mountains and rushed to attack all over Wutai, and even if the transporters arrived with ammunition, they did not dare to rush out of the mountains to supply him.
This matter naturally had an early insight into Lou Mu, who was highly cultivated and more powerful in spells than Wanyan Wushu.
So after listening to Pharmacist Guo's words, Lou Mu's eyebrows also squeezed together, and he asked in thought: "How many soldiers can you scatter beans into soldiers?" How much gunpowder and projectiles did the Song army consume? ”
When Pharmacist Guo saw this, he immediately replied: "With the power of one person, the most bean sprinkling is a thousand soldiers." If all the generals of our army are gathered together, I will pass on the method of sprinkling beans to all the generals and everyone to cast the spell together. Marshal, I'm afraid that 100,000 phantom soldiers will descend from the sky, it's definitely not a difficult thing, right? ”
"Would you like to teach us how to sprinkle beans?" Hearing this, Lou Muhu looked at Pharmacist Guo suspiciously and asked.
The reason why he asked this question stemmed from the origin and experience of this pharmacist, as well as this person's character.
This Guo Yaoshi was originally just a homeless person in Liaodong, and he was also a traitor created by the times.
In the sixth year of Emperor Tianqing of Liao Tianzuo, Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai, killed Xiao Baoxian, who stayed in Liao and Tokyo, established the Bohai State on his own and proclaimed himself emperor.
After Xiao Baoxian quickly occupied more than 50 prefectures in eastern Liao, the last emperor of Liao, Emperor Tianzuo, sent Prime Minister Zhang Lin to crusade.
Zhang Lin was a civil official, and the Khitan soldiers and horses did not listen to him at all, resulting in his defeat in Shenzhou for the Jurchen soldiers supporting the Bohai Kingdom. Emperor Tianzuo was furious and relieved Zhang Lin of his military power and renamed Yeluchun, the king of Yan, as the marshal of the capital.
Yeluchun didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he had no choice but to recruit hungry people from Liaodong to join the army. Soon, an army of hungry people was formed, and Yeluchun took revenge on the Jurchens and called this army "the army of grievances".
It was at that time that Guo Yaoshi served the Liao people, became the leader of a group of hungry people with his own magic and ability to control people, and became the leader of the "resentful army".
It stands to reason that a homeless person and a gangster should be content to be the commander of an army. But Pharmacist Guo is not a contented person, and in such a troubled world, it is impossible for him to be really satisfied.
At the beginning of its establishment, the "Resentment Army" was used to fight against the rebels, and later it became a "tiger and wolf army" against the Jin soldiers, where everyone did not want to die and was only for food.
However, when the Liao State was weak, the Jin State swept through the Saiwai and beat the Khitans to the ground, and Emperor Tianzuo could only escape from the imperial city to take refuge.
A group of resentful people who had been cut off by the Great Song Dynasty and the Han people of the Central Plains had already broken out in an all-round way, and the whole army was shouting for survival and for being able to continue to eat well.
Guo Yaoshi defected to the battle, turned his back on the old master, and took the "resentful army" to the Great Song Dynasty to present a state and four counties, and became the Enzhou observer of the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhuozhou Zhijun. Moreover, the "resentful army" under his command was also canonized by the Emperor Dujun of the Great Song Dynasty and got the nickname of "Victorious Army".
The remnants of the Liao State turned into a powerful person of the Song Dynasty and made a "gorgeous turn".
It stands to reason that Guo Yaoshi and a group of soldiers of the victorious army can not only eat enough, but also fight for the rivers and mountains left by their ancestors, should they be content?
It's just that the current situation makes people and makes people, in fact, it's more like playing with Pharmacist Guo.
After the Song and Jin destroyed Liao and Yanjing, the Jin soldiers swept through the Song army, and then drove straight into the rarely beaten eunuch marshal Tong Guandu and fled back to Bianjing, Guo Yaoshi and his soldiers broke out again.
This time it broke out, and the Jurchen was not the faint monarch of the Song Dynasty. After Guo Yaoshi led the victorious army to stage a good show of defecting and turning his back on the old master, he could not believe that such a person could first surrender to Liao, and then betray Liao and surrender to Song. When the building of the Song Dynasty was about to fall, he led his troops to serve their "three family slaves".
As a result, the general of the Northeast Frontier Army of the Great Song Dynasty, who once led 50,000 troops, was quickly deprived of military power after leading the crowd to invest in gold, and became a pawn who could only be the vanguard of the Jin State to destroy the Song Dynasty, and never led more than 3,000 troops......
Although Lou Room does not know as much as the history of the Han people and the Han books he reads, he still knows the definition of "three family slaves".
Therefore, since the army entered Daizhou City, he saw this vanguard general who was everywhere from Hedong to Hebei along the way to destroy the Song Dynasty for the Dajin Kingdom, and his heart was full of contempt.
Naturally, he would not believe that Guo Yaoshi, a new hero of the Liao Dynasty, Song Zhili Rank, and the Jin State, would be wholeheartedly loyal to the Great Jin Kingdom, let alone selflessly teach his housekeeping skills to the generals of the Jin Kingdom who were not channels.
Sprinkling beans into soldiers, that is the magic of Taoism in the Central Plains, and it is also the fundamental reason why Guo Yaoshi can only bring up to 2,000 soldiers and horses but act as the vanguard of a hundred battles for the sake of separation.
At this time, he actually said that he wanted to teach the spell of sprinkling beans into soldiers, and it was normal for Lou Room to suspect it.
Of course, Pharmacist Guo is also very clear about his experience, identity and character, and he does not say some hypocritical official words when Lou Room questions him.
With a slight bow, Guo Yaoshi said the truth from the bottom of his heart: "I once surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and I was a pioneer general under the command of two deputy marshals, and I broke through no less than 100 cities in the Song Kingdom, and my hands were stained with the blood of 100,000 Song soldiers and civilians. If the city is broken, maybe you Guo Jieenvoy still have a chance to survive, and the Song people will definitely chase me with all their might. Therefore, I am willing to teach spells for self-preservation, and please do not suspect it. (To be continued......)
