Within Daming Mansion, west of the Yellow River and south of the Yongji Canal, a new camp suddenly appeared.
Although this camp was not as solidly built as the Song army's camp, it was still closely built with deep trenches and high walls. In the camp, tall and large watchtowers were built, and many large and small tents were set up. In the center of the camp, a large circle was formed with vehicles, containing more than ten large tents and a temporary stable. Although it was only a temporary camp, it was well arranged.
The soldiers patrolling the camp were also neat and orderly. The infantry were lined up in rows, wearing full armor, and their orders and restraints were meticulous. Although the Yuanbaizi cavalry entering and leaving the camp came and went like the wind, their formations were not chaotic at all. Inside and outside the camp, the demeanor of elite soldiers who have been fighting for a long time is everywhere.
In the center of the camp, hung high was a red and black military flag of the Kingdom of Jin, two bugle flags, and two general identification flags. The Chinese characters for "Eternal Victory Army" and "Nanjing Road Han Army" were embroidered on the two military flags. On the two general recognition flags erected side by side, the eldest son "Guo Guo, the ever-victorious army" and "Liu, the privy councilor" were tattooed respectively.
This camp was originally established by an army of 10,000 led by Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong!
This 10,000-strong army nominally belongs to the Ever-Victorious Army and the Nanjing Road-Han Army, but the Nanjing Road-Han Army of the Jin Kingdom was actually divided from the Ever-Victorious Army of Guo Pharmacist. Speaking of which, Zhao Ji, an official, was really kind to Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun! With the support of the Song Dynasty court and the territory of Yanshan Prefecture, the number of the Ever Victorious Army rapidly expanded from the original 8,000 to 50,000, and there were as many as 300,000 rural soldiers in the entire Yanshan Prefecture actually attached to Guo Yaoshi .
Before Medicine Master Guo rebelled against the Song Dynasty, many civil servants of the Song Dynasty felt that Medicine Master Guo was self-respecting and was about to become An Lushan, so they all made suggestions to reduce Medicine Master Guo's power. And Zhao Ji wanted Pharmacist Guo to be the King of Yan and guard Yanshan Mansion for the rest of his life... Some people in later generations excused Pharmacist Guo, saying that because Zhang Jue of Pingzhou was betrayed by the Song Dynasty, Pharmacist Guo was so sad that he died like a rabbit and a fox. This is pure nonsense. . Guo Yaoshi had 350,000 troops, 50,000 of whom were in the victorious army and were elite soldiers. He also had a strong castle like Yanjing, which was completely different from Zhang Jue.
If we refer to the situation of the Taiyuan Defense War, a mere three to four thousand victorious troops defended the small Taiyuan City (the Taiyuan City of the Song Dynasty was not the one handed down from the Tang Dynasty, but a newly built city later) for more than 250 days. If Guo Yaoshi, who has 350,000 troops and owns the fortified city of Yanjing, really holds on, the battle of Yanshan Mansion will inevitably turn into a battle for troops and supplies. As long as the Jin soldiers besieging the city cannot plunder enough supplies from Yanshan Prefecture, defeat will only be a matter of time.
But Pharmacist Guo ignored King Yan of the Song Dynasty and knelt down to the golden man as soon as he turned around. But how could the Jin people trust him, a slave with three surnames? So it didn't matter that he lost his territory now, the Jin people also brought Liu Yanzong, the leader of the top Han clan in the Liao Kingdom, out to divide the military power of Pharmacist Guo.
The Han people in the Liao Kingdom are different from the Han people in the Song Dynasty. They are still engaged in clan politics. There are four powerful families, including Han, Zhao, Ma, and Liu. Among them, the Ma family has lived in Wulu Mountain in western Liaoning for a long time. Their influence in Yanjing is slightly weaker than that of the other three families. The remaining The three families are wealthy families in Youzhou and are extremely powerful.
Among them, the Han family, that is, the Han Derang family has too close relations with the Khitan people, so the Jin people have to be careful about them. The Zhao family is a transnational noble. Their ancestors are Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou, who were the great surrenderers in the Five Dynasties. Both father and son surrendered to the Liao Kingdom after Shi Jingtang ceded Yan Yun. Later, Zhao Yanshou followed the Liao lord into the Central Plains, leaving one behind when he ran away. The son's name is Zhao Kuangzan. Later, this Zhao Kuangzan surrendered to the Later Han, Later Zhou, and Song Dynasty (if you include the Later Tang Dynasty and Khitan, he was a proper five ministers), and became the founding hero of the Song Dynasty, and was granted the title of Duke Wei... So this mysterious figure The Zhou Zhao family had a share in both the Song and Liao Dynasties. Of course, the Kingdom of Jin did not dare to believe them too much.
As for Liu Yanzong, his family had been prominent in Yan for three to four hundred years. It was the oldest of the four wealthy families of the Han people in the Liao Dynasty. Guo Yaoshi, a foreigner, is comparable. Most of the soldiers in Guo Yaoshi's 50,000-victorious army are Han people from Yan, that is, Han people from Nanjing Road, Liao Dynasty. They have lived under the rule of Han, Zhao, Ma, Liu and other powerful families for generations. I am used to obeying these aristocratic families.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Yanzong took action, he immediately separated half of Guo Pharmacist's army, and most of the Yan people in the remaining half of the army were loyal to the old Liu family, leaving only more than 8,000 families from Liaodong and Western Liaoning who were still loyal. Guo Yaoshi - In the original history, these eight thousand victorious troops were massacred by the Bodhisattva Prince Wanyan Zongwang not long after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty! The father and son, Guo Yaoshi and Guo Anguo, managed to live for a few more years. Guo Yaoshi might have died of illness in the end, while Guo Anguo didn't survive until Wan Yanliang came to power.
But now that he has handed over his territory, handed over half of his army, and served as the vanguard of Jin's march south, Guo Yaoshi's headquarters will naturally not be trusted by the Jin people... Come to Daming Mansion and return it. He asked Liu Yanzong to follow him, and also left his only son Guo Anguo as a hostage.
Now the Jin people still need Guo Yaoshi. If they really want to use it all, they still have to kill the donkey?
Thinking of this, Pharmacist Guo and his group of buddies, such as Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou, Liu Shunren, Zhang Linghui and others, felt a little regretful... If they had known that this would happen, they might as well have been the vassal town of the Song Dynasty!
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret!
Because Da Song was about to end, it seemed that he had no chance to switch sides and go back.
"Oh, I originally thought that this King Yun Zhao Kai would be more tyrannical than the officials of the Song Dynasty and the useless prince, but I didn't expect that he would be useless! It seems that the Song Dynasty is hopeless. The Jin Dynasty has been ruling the world for about ten years. It’s about..."
The person sighing for the Song Dynasty in a big tent was actually Guo Yaoshi, who had rebelled against the Song Dynasty and returned to the Jin Dynasty not long ago!
He is currently having a secret conversation with his daughter Guo Tiannv, and both father and daughter seem to be worried.
"Dad, do you think King Yun's method won't work?" Guo Tiannu's cheeks turned slightly red when she mentioned the word King Yun.
"Hmph!" Pharmacist Guo snorted, "What a bullshit! As a prince of the Song Dynasty and a marshal of the Hebei army, he did not want to serve the country and kill the enemy, but he wanted to betray the country for glory. My father has never seen such shamelessness. man of!"
Yeah? Guo Tiannu glanced at her father and said to herself: Aren't you just as shameless as King Yun?
"Can't he even be regarded as Shi Jingtang?" Guo Tiannu still refused to give up...
"How can he compare with Shi Jingtang?" Yaoshi Guo asked, "Shi Jingtang was one of the most talented generals under Li Siyuan back then. Even Li Cunxu praised him for his bravery. Who is Zhao Kai? He has no ability and is as timid as a mouse, so he just wants to rely on him. To beg for mercy from the Jin people and become an official... Even if you become an official, you will only be a puppet of the Jin people and will not last long."
Guo Tiannv whispered: "It would be good to have an emperor for ten years..."
"You..." After hearing what his daughter said, Medical Master Guo already knew that her mind had been moved by Zhao Kai's words. So he lowered his face and asked, "What about ten years from now? Will you die with him?"
"My daughter may not die in ten years. Even if she dies, she will finally enjoy the supreme glory and wealth..." Guo Tiannu said coldly, "On the other hand, my father is in this situation now. How many more years can he be better? I don’t even know how to survive!”
"What do you mean?" Medicine Master Guo's face turned pale.
Guo Tiannv said: "Didn't dad find that the Jin's butcher's knife is getting closer and closer to our necks? If we can help King Yun become the son-emperor of the Jin, the Jin will have to use us to support and watch. With King Yun, maybe he can tolerate us for ten or twenty years...
If there were no son-emperor like King Yun, the Song Dynasty would be over in three to five years at most, and then our family would have to hide everything! "
Pharmacist Guo was speechless. After another moment, he snorted coldly: "We can't do this, so we have to go and break it up with Liu Yanzong...at least we'll get a share of his family's fortune!"
