Since there are many people like Taiwei Gao, Pharmacist Guo can call for help with peace of mind - Taiwei Gao is the God of War of the Song Dynasty who flooded Jin Wushu in Yuncheng and killed Arubu at Hecaikou!
Jin Wushu and Alubu both pounced. Guo Yaoshi now faced 300,000 Taiwei Gao. Oh, it was Taiwei Gao's army of 300,000 people. He actually dared to stick to Liyang and wait for reinforcements. He was already quite worthy of the Kingdom of Jin. . So when the emergency document calling for help reached the Jinbing camp near Chengshi County, the two Jinbing commanders, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu, were a little moved.
Although Wanyan Zongwang committed many murders and arson, he was a devout Buddhist disciple and was nicknamed "Prince Bodhisattva". Before, because he didn't trust Yaoshi Guo and Chang Shengjun, he had been thinking of killing all the 8,000 families of Changsheng Army - not one by one, but one family at a time, to eradicate the roots! Of course, Guo Yaoshi and Guo Anguo have to live as role models. Because of this, he still felt a little guilty, so he planned to eat vegetarian food for a few more days after killing the people, and then build a magnificent temple where the 8,000 people were buried to suppress the ghosts of injustice... Now it's good There is no need to be a vegetarian anymore, and there is no need to waste money on building Zhenhun Temple. Because someone can help the Kingdom of Jin get rid of the scourge of Medicine Master Guo!
When he thought that Medicine Master Guo was going to die soon, and that the thousands of victorious troops who followed him would probably have to take advantage of Lieutenant Gao's military exploits, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but sigh, and put the military newspaper in his hand in front of his eyes. The case was put on the table, and then he looked at the generals in the big tent, "It seems that Pharmacist Guo will become a loyal martyr of Dajin this time... Gao Qiu's 300,000 troops have probably surrounded Liyang City now. It’s too late for us to rescue him! What should we do?”
"Second brother, since it's too late to save Pharmacist Guo, let's go to the emperor and ask for a better posthumous title for Pharmacist Guo, and give him a grand burial!"
The speaker was Wanyan Wushu, who also had a sad look on his face, and seemed to have a good relationship with Yaoshi Guo.
Wanyan's mother said: "Then what posthumous title should we give to Pharmacist Guo? Is Wenzhong better, or Wenzhaoshi?"
"Of course it's Wenzheng," Wanyan Talan, the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Department of Xi, was very knowledgeable about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom, so he told Wanyan's mother, "Although Wenzheng is one level lower than Wenzhong, it is still a very honorable posthumous title."
"Talan," Wanyan Zongwang asked, "Are you sure that Wen Zhong is better than Wen? Why do I hear people say that Wen Zheng is better?"
"Of course Wenzhong is higher," Wanyan said lazily, "Oh, you must know Prince Wenzhong's palace, right?"
Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "I know... that is Handerang's palace tent."
Wanyan Tarlan said seriously: "Han Derang slept with the Queen Mother, assisted the young master, and was the pillar of a country. He was highly virtuous and respected by the world. Who has been a minister since ancient times, can anyone surpass him? His posthumous title after his death was Wenzhong. "
That's right. Since ancient times, there have been many ministers and assistants to the young master, but not many queen mothers. As for the sleeping Queen Mother, she is the only one who can die a good death after assisting the young master, and can still become a loyal minister recognized by the world!
"Pharmacist Guo is not as good as Han Derang," Wanyan Zongwang said. "He is not worthy of the posthumous title Wenzhong. At most, he is just Wenzheng."
That’s right, it’s impossible for Medicine Master Guo to sleep with the Queen Mother! Wu Qimai's mother Nazhan has been dead for more than 40 years... It is not Guo Yaoshi's turn to take care of her!
Of course, Pharmacist Guo should be satisfied with the posthumous title of "Wen Zheng", so there is no need to discuss saving him... Zhao Kai was still a bit naive after all, and he thought too highly of the traitor Pharmacist Guo. He also underestimated the ruthlessness of people like Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu, and Wanyan Wushu.
Of course they know that there is no possibility of defeating Gao Qiu in a decisive battle in the areas of Liyang, Dagong Mountain, Sanshan Floating Bridge, and Wannian Xindi!
Apart from anything else, Gao Qiu's trick of digging a new embankment that has lasted ten thousand years to flood Liyang City is unsolvable!
It is already mid-to-late February, and it will be March in a while. The water level of the Yellow River has risen early.
What is the level of Gao Qiu's navy? I don’t know where the Jin people’s navy is!
If Li Yang becomes Li Yang Bo, won't the armies of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu be completely wiped out?
Moreover, Wanyan Zongwang had already given orders to Pharmacist Guo, telling him to cross the Yellow River eastward immediately when he saw something was wrong, and then guard the east bank of the Yellow River flowing north to cover the flanks and rear of the Jin soldiers heading south.
But this guy is actually waiting for help in Liyang... Isn't this asking for death?
Wanyan Zongwang paused and then asked: "Liu Dutong, how are the preparations for the counter-intentional plan?"
When Liu Yanzong heard this, he immediately stood up and replied: "Reporting to the Second Prince, the lower official is responsible for contacting the Song Dynasty envoy Qin Hui these days, and has released a lot of false news... By now Li Gang should have known that Gao Qiu has returned to Taipei. Zhao Ji from the Shangguan family."
Qin Hui did not run back to Kaifeng Mansion, but was surrounded in Chengshi County with Li Gang.
In order to paralyze the gold thieves and buy time to strengthen the city defense of Chengshi County, Li Gang asked Qin Hui to go to the Jin barracks to pretend to make peace.
Liu Yanzong took the opportunity to give Qin Hui eye drops, intentionally or unintentionally leaking some news that Gao Qiu was secretly negotiating with Dajin behind Zhao Kai's back.
Why are you carrying Zhao Kai behind your back?
Because the conditions agreed by Gao Qiu can only be fulfilled after the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing... Li Gang can taste the meaning himself!
Of course, this countermeasure is not very clever. But what would Zhao Kai, a foolish king, think? In the face of imperial power, of course one must rather kill by mistake than let go by mistake! Moreover, Gao Qiu was originally Zhao Ji's confidant, and he was also the backbone of support for Prince Zhao Huan...
So as long as this news reaches Zhao Kai, Gao Qiu will no longer be trusted even if he survives.
And even if Li Gang knew that the credibility of the news was not high, he would still report it to Zhao Kai... because he himself had supported Zhao Huan, and he had to clean himself up!
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and nodded, saying: "In that case, let's let Li Gang go back! But we have to teach him a lesson!"
His eyes turned to Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Talan.
Wanyan Wushu patted his chest, "Leave it to me... As long as Li Gang's army moves, I can bring four to five thousand cavalry to give him a severe blow!"
"Okay!" Wanyan Zongwang nodded, "I'll leave it to you! Tomorrow we will withdraw from the siege, and then pretend to march to Huazhou... You take 5,000 kidnap horses to ambush in Nanhua County. Li Gang escaped death. , and also suspects that the Sanshan Floating Bridge is in trouble, he will definitely lead his troops to retreat to Kaifeng Mansion, and when the time comes, you will send out troops to pursue him!"
...
"Master Privy Council, look at this..."
In Chengshi County, Li Gang was listening with a frown on his face as Qin Hui said something he didn't want to hear at all - inviting the Supreme Shang and the Crown Prince back!
He is indeed a prince...but his princely faction is just lining up according to the system of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji had never officially mentioned changing the country's foundation. Since Zhao Huan was the country's foundation, Li Gang of course supported Zhao Huan.
Later, father and son Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Kai gave up the throne, and finally gave Zhao Kai a crown. Li Gang is an eyewitness! Therefore, Zhao Kai's throne is completely legal, and Li Gang must follow the procedures to support Zhao Kai.
What a reset...how can that be? Once the throne is relinquished, it is relinquished. How to reset it? Was that Captain Gao so sick and confused that he still invited the Grand Shang and the Crown Prince back? What does he want to do? Do you want to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes? This is the Song Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty, so we cannot do this.
Maybe the gold thief is framing Gao Qiu! But why do they have trouble with Gao Qiu?
Could it be that Gao Qiu was really hiding something? He is obviously very capable, but he only shows off his abilities by playing Cuju? What on earth does he want to do?
Li Gang just shook his head.
"Mr. Privy Councilor, what do you mean by shaking your head?" Qin Hui actually didn't believe that Gao Qiu wanted to support Zhao Ji's restoration... He knew that Liu Yanzong was lying. He was much more treacherous than Liu Yanzong, so how could he be fooled?
But...he couldn't just brush it off on his own initiative.
Otherwise, when Zhao Kai finds out about this in the future, he will jump into the Yellow River and not be able to clean himself up.
So he had to let Li Gang take the lead!
If Li Gang took the responsibility for Gao Qiu, then he would suppress the matter, report it to Zhao Kai later, and sell out the fact that Li Gang protected Gao Qiu.
Of course, by snitching and betraying Gao Qiu and Li Gang, you are actually helping Gao Qiu!
If Qin Hui publicly reported this matter in a memorial, Gao Qiu would immediately become the target of public criticism, and I don't know how many civil servants would jump out to bite him.
Even if Zhao Kai sees through this counterintuitive plan by then, Gao Qiu's life will not be easy... Isn't this how the Di Qing of the past was brought down by the courtiers?
Those people had nothing to say, they all arranged auspicious things for Di Qing’s family!
If Li Gang does not take care of Gao Qiu, then Qin Hui will ask Li Gang to submit a memorial jointly with him. In this way, his responsibility will be reduced... and he will not be retaliated by the powerful Captain Gao in the future.
"It's just a counter-intuitive plan," Li Gang shook his head as he spoke, "Why did the golden thief keep getting in trouble with Gao Qiu again and again?"
"Perhaps Lieutenant Gao really led King Qin's army northward from all the southeastern routes." Qin Hui said what he had guessed.
"Will it?" Li Gang still didn't believe it, but he still said to Qin Hui, "Whatever the gold thief wants to do will be to his advantage and not to my advantage. So I should do the opposite!"
"The Prime Minister's statement is absolutely correct." Qin Hui said, "Then I will hide this matter."
Li Gang nodded, "This is the best."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the voice of Commander Fan Qiong, full of surprise, came: "My lord, I am so happy! The gold thief has rescued the siege and retreated!"
Relieved the siege and retreated?
Li Gang and Qin Hui looked at each other with shock on their faces!
Could it be that Captain Gao Qiu was really a famous general disguised as a villain? Did he defeat the golden thief again? But isn’t it a bit too deep for him to do this?
Is having such military ministers a blessing to the country? Or is it the country’s misfortune?
