Amidst the howling cold wind, Yuanri arrived and left quietly without causing any repercussions in a place like Yanjing where soldiers were attacking.
Pharmacist Guo was very prescient. He knew the virtues of the Song Dynasty, especially after experiencing the first Battle of Yanjing, he was almost tricked to death by Liu Yanqing's son Liu Guangshi.
He understood a truth.
"The governor said that the Song Dynasty is unreliable. Look at the logistics supplies now, and the food, soldiers and armor are gone. If it weren't for the fact that the governor had left behind many collections from the Liao Kingdom.
In addition, Cai Jing and others were asked to allocate enough food and supplies in advance, and now you and I will go to war hungry. "
At this time, in the mansion of Yanjing Pharmacist Guo, Pharmacist Guo, who was eating a leg of lamb, said this to his confidant Zhen Wuchen beside him with a smile on his face.
Zhen Wuchen, who was beside Pharmacist Guo, also laughed and drank the water in front of him.
"If it weren't for the general who didn't allow drinking in the army, no matter what today, a certain family would have a drink with the general. I admire you!"
Zhen Wuchen was a confidant of Medicine Master Guo. Although he was usually a bit flattering, this time he really admired him.
In the past year or so, he has been constantly asking for food and supplies, and he even did not hesitate to fall out with Song generals and detain Song scribes such as Cai Jing and Lu Yihao.
He even didn't hesitate to ignore Zhang Jue and so on.
I don’t know how many people thought that Yaoshi Guo had evil intentions at first, but who knows that it has now been proven that Yaoshi Guo was really prescient.
Even Lu Yihao, who was sitting quietly beside him, fell into rare silence.
"I did blame the governor a little bit wrongly at the beginning. I admit this." Under Zhen Wuchen's gaze and strange eyes, Lu Yihao did not grit his teeth. Instead, he talked about the past very naturally.
"After Liu Yanqing made a big mistake, he did not tell me the truth. Instead, he told me that the governor had evil intentions, which led to the successive failures.
He said that during the Battle of Yanjing, the governor of Chengdu retreated in fear of the battle and did not wait for the arrival of friendly forces.
The fire was also said to be caused by the governor taking advantage of the chaos, so I directly reported it to Your Majesty... The late emperor wanted to punish the governor. "
When Lu Yihao said this, there was nothing wrong with Pharmacist Guo. After all, these things were not secrets, but Zhen Wuchen on the side had already left.
"Traitor, how dare you do this!"
At this time, if Zhen Wuchen hadn't been pulled by someone, he would have rushed in front of Lu Yihao and beat this guy up.
Qin Hui on the side had even grasped the legs of the table, thinking about what he should do if a fight broke out.
"Shut up, this matter has already happened. Besides, where did I suffer any grievances? Why are you acting so inappropriately here?"
Pharmacist Guo's angry scolding made Zhen Wuchen, who had just jumped up, shrink his neck and retreat obediently.
Lu Yihao sighed at this time, apologized to Pharmacist Guo and then continued.
"In addition to Liu Yanqing, I have a bad impression of the governor. There is also the matter of the late emperor. The late emperor was too kind to the governor, which makes me always feel... these words are a bit disrespectful.
However, the governor later took advantage of the late emperor's favor and acted arbitrarily, collecting food, supplies, soldiers, armor and equipment from the land of Yanyun.
It was really ugly to take away everything that could be looted. Many generals of the Western Army and even the lost rebel general Zhang Linghui came to impeach the governor.
It is precisely because of this that I frequently embarrass the governor, I admit this.
But having said that, if I were asked to choose again now, I would still embarrass the general! "
Zhen Wuchen, who just thought Lu Yihao had softened up, was choked to death by his words before he could laugh out loud.
"You old guy, hahahaha..." After hearing his words, Pharmacist Guo, instead of getting angry, laughed, "Why did you choose this way?"
"Whether it is the late emperor or your majesty, they appointed me as a supervisor and staff officer. When a person is in his position, he must plan his own affairs. There is no reason for this!"
After hearing this, Zhen Wuchen immediately wanted to say something sarcastic, but looking at Lu Yihao's face that was so calm that there was no trace of sadness or joy, he opened his mouth, but he just let out a cold snort.
On the contrary, Pharmacist Guo felt lifeless and toasted directly to Lu Yihao. Although it was pure water, it tasted like a hero.
After Lu Yihao, including the envoy Qin Hui who returned again, as well as Cai Jing and Wang Anzhong, they all showed a slight respect, which gave them enough face.
At the end of the banquet, Zhen Wuchen didn't taste anything. He only knew that he was very full.
He belched and sent Lu Yihao, Cai Jing and others back. When he came back, he saw his own governor wiping the tip of the spear in his hand.
Zhen Wuchen, who knew Yaoshi Guo very well, knew that every time he made this action, it meant that he was very nervous at this time.
A lot of pressure.
It's just that he doesn't understand why.
"Is the Governor worried about the war?"
"Do you believe this?"
Seeing Pharmacist Guo's rhetorical question, Zhen Wuchen couldn't help but smile honestly, and quickly shook his head like a rattle.
"Although Wanyan Zonghan also has great abilities, compared to the governor, he is still unable to match it. Back then, even Zhang Jue almost had him defeated in the land of Yanyun.
Not to mention the Commander-in-Chief, wouldn’t Zhang Jue have to cower when he saw the Commander-in-Chief? "
Zhen Wuchen's comparison also made Pharmacist Guo not know what to say, and in the end he could only shake his head and sigh.
"You guys are so lazy. You can only imagine Zhang Jue." After spitting at him, Medicine Master Guo couldn't help but sigh.
"This guy Wanyan Zonghan is indeed average in his abilities in battle. Although he can be considered a famous general, in the final analysis he has just reached the edge of being a famous general.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for his good luck, he would have accomplished a lot of achievements by staying with Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Gao and other elderly people over the years, and he would have received a lot of teachings.
Now this guy is just a second-rate guy.
But this guy is just lucky. Nianhan is really good at fighting. Now, except for the older generation Wanyan Loushi, who can still be considered a leader, no one else can say anything to him.
Even Wanyan Gao, the first generation commander, is now willing to be his lieutenant Nianhan.
But Wanyan Zongwang is different. This guy's own abilities are not very good, but his knowledge is too complex. He can use all kinds of ghosts and tricks, and there are many people around him who are colluding with him.
It's really troublesome for these guys to gather together. "
"The governor is worried about what dirty tricks they will use?"
"Marching and fighting, a country's important affairs, what's the point of doing anything wrong?" Medical Master Guo directly reprimanded Zhen Wuchen and lowered his head again.
"It's the last general who has made such abrupt remarks."
"Nian Han leads the troops with great force, with the style of a king but also with ghostly methods. This Wanyan Zongwang has the Machiavellian tactics of Aguda, the scheming tactics of Wanyan Loushi, and the desperate tactics of Wanyan Gao.
This guy is just a mixed bag, but at this time, it is guys like him that we are afraid of. It would be really difficult for him to attack me in my capacity. "
Like Wanyan Zongwang, Medicine Master Guo also saw his own loopholes, and he even saw them more clearly.
"The purpose of inviting Lu Yihao to a banquet today is to test him out. This old guy is also worried, so today we cleared up some misunderstandings and made plans for the future.
Although this governor knew that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were really out of tune.
But that's because they don't know how to fight all year round. As long as they are not completely destroyed in this battle, the result will be a desperate counterattack by the Song people.
Looking back at the Jin people, before the world is peaceful, problems have begun to arise internally. Once the current Jin people and emperor also have some problems, then this trouble will really happen.
This is why Zhang Jue ambushed a group of Liao elites such as Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, and Kang Gongbi even though he knew that the Liao Kingdom had decided to surrender to the Jin people.
He was really ready to completely join the Song Dynasty, but the original emperor was really no exception, and the generals who stayed in the Yanyun Land were also a group of real losers.
Relying on them to win is really a dream. "
When he said this, Pharmacist Guo couldn't help but feel a little murderous. He really had a grudge, and this grudge was more about the sadness in his heart.
"The reason why I have been worried is because of Zhang Jue's incident. This kind of thing really makes me unable to stop thinking about it.
At that time, Zhang Jue and this governor had some similarities. They were both lone generals of the Liao Kingdom and had to surrender. However, he surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, while this governor directly surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
But even so, Zhang Jue made unparalleled contributions to the Song Dynasty in Pingzhou.
In one fell swoop, he ambushed and killed Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, and Kang Gongbi who had surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. Yu Zhongwen was even known as a child prodigy in the world, and he had everything in the Liao Kingdom hidden in his mind.
If people like this enter the Kingdom of Jin, then where can we find a foothold in the land of Yanyun?
He was such a man who had made great achievements in the world. He defeated the Jin people in Pingzhou in a row. He was already quite capable. During this period, he repeatedly requested assistance from the Song Dynasty but was rejected.
After the defeat, he unfortunately fled into Yanjing. This was the land of the Song Dynasty, and he was not able to save his life.
When a Jin man came to ask for someone, did Wang Anzhong really give it to him?
This governor can understand his worries. He is worried that the late emperor will blame him. He is worried that once the Song and Jin Dynasties go to war, it is inevitable that the Song people will be unfavorable in the war. He is worried that failure will become a shield for the Song Dynasty court to withdraw.
But he can't do this!
In public, although he tried hard, he could not push Zhang Jue out in public and give his head to the Jinren with his own hands.
He doesn't dare to take action, he doesn't dare to use troops, so how dare the Jin people, and how dare he, the Jin people, to show their displeasure! "
At this moment, Pharmacist Guo kept hitting the ground with his spear, his face flushed and his whole body trembling.
Zhen Wuche had already ordered everyone to retreat on the way, giving him enough time and place to vent.
Zhen Wuchen has always been reckless, and even in the eyes of Lu Yihao, Qin Hui and others, he is a real rough man.
This is certainly not wrong, but what they don't know is that it was this Zhen Wuchen who had fraudulently opened the gate of Yanjing City for the first time. It was this Zhen Wuchen who guarded the city gate for Medicine Master Guo when Yanjing was defeated. .
They also didn't know that Zhen Wuchen had been a beggar in the Yanyun Land since he was a child. It was Medicine Master Guo who suddenly picked him up out of kindness during the march and raised him to this day.
This is a man who has been raised by Pharmacist Guo like a son since he was a child. His biggest wish in his life is to die in front of his governor or adoptive father.
He knew everything about Yaoshi Guo, and he also knew what Yaoshi Guo was really afraid of at this time.
From the bottom of his heart, he was afraid that he would be like Zhang Jue.
One night, he was tied up by Yue Fei, Lu Yihao, Qin Hui, or some envoy from the Song Dynasty court.
Then he sent it to the front of the two armies and to Wanyan Zongwang of the Jin man.
Behead him in public to calm the war between the two armies!
The Song Dynasty was so familiar with doing this kind of thing that it really made Guo Yaoshi have to think more. Today he was hosting a banquet just because he wanted to tell the truth.
Lu Yihao saw it and told him the truth, but he was still very nervous.
"Captain, if we can't do this, we will kill all those guys and sacrifice this Yanjing. We are not comparable to Zhang Jue who fled here alone.
Fifty thousand victorious troops and two hundred thousand local warriors obey the orders of the governor.
As long as the governor gives the order, we are willing to die! "
"Confused!" Although Yaoshi Guo felt warm and relieved to hear these words, he still yelled angrily without hesitation.
"Don't even think about it. If we can surrender, why should we follow the Song Dynasty?
They've all been hanging out with the Liao people, that's all. They spend less time being stabbed in the back. Is it possible that a certain family is still afraid of losing face?
There is no way for Jin people to survive!
Nowadays, the appearance of the Jin people is very good, and the appearance is also very clean. If there are people who surrender, they will be used in civil and military affairs, and they must be treated with courtesy without any hesitation.
These are all fart words, because the Song Dynasty was never defeated!
Once the Song Dynasty was defeated, even if it tried to rise again, those who surrendered would eventually be eliminated.
The Kingdom of Jin is not good at governance but good at fighting. How can we, a second or even third-rate person, be able to lead troops to fight?
If Liao officials like Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, Kang Gongbi and others could help them govern the place and stabilize the world.
There is still a way out, and I invested myself in it. In the end, I was lucky enough to be able to leave one person who was dismissed from office and left alone.
If we are unlucky, a glass of poisonous wine will send us away!
Never say such nonsense again in the future. If you say too much, you will inevitably be overheard. "
Pharmacist Guo's stern reprimand made Zhen Wuchen nod his head repeatedly. At the same time, he also knew that the current situation of his governor had really reached such a life-threatening situation.
And it just so happened that at such a critical time, a scandal occurred in his army.
There was an army lieutenant general who committed some evil act of raping and killing women in Yanjing city, and was wronged in front of Lu Yihao, who swore to point out the general in Guo Yaoshi's army.
There were dozens of people who testified for him, leaving the small school at a loss to defend himself. He could only keep looking at Pharmacist Guo on the side, kowtowing repeatedly, and begging him to give him a clean answer.
But now that the people are so dissatisfied, even if there are not many people in Yanjing now, if this kind of trouble continues, it will eventually make him Guo Yaoshi's face tarnished, and make Song Jun's reputation here even worse.
The most important thing is that he cannot get rid of his involvement in this matter, and the time is tight and he cannot let them investigate slowly.
But what comforted Pharmacist Guo the most at this time was that as the judge of this matter, Lu Yihao of the Yanyun Governor's Mansion did not beat him to death with a stick.
Instead, each witness was questioned in detail, but this matter was personally directed by Liu Yanzong, the commander of the Han army in the Kingdom of Jin.
As the general planner of this attack on the Song Dynasty, it was Wanyan Zongwang's military advisor.
Liu Yanzong would not let Lu Yihao find the reason to reverse the situation he had arranged so easily.
"This matter..." Lu Yihao focused his attention on Yaoshi Guo. He wanted to see what else Yaoshi Guo could do, but he looked at Yaoshi Guo's livid face and his hands with exposed veins.
He knew that this guy was obviously helpless.
"Take this person down first, and after finding out, if he is really responsible, he will be killed without mercy." Lu Yihao, who wanted to suppress the matter first, failed to succeed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people started to make noise and noise.
These common people have just returned to the city to start a new life during this period. Their influence in Yanjing is indeed not very great, but these people represent the entire Yanyun land.
If this matter is not handled properly, or simply handled roughly, Lu Yihao and Yaoshi Guo both know that the Song Dynasty will never be able to regain the land of Yanyun in this life.
Of course, it might also be a good idea for the Song Dynasty to massacre all the land of Yanyun...
But in this way, including Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Hedong Road, Shandong Land, Jiangnan Land and other places with internal and external troubles... all have lost the possibility of being healed again.
If this place cannot be pacified, then the Song Dynasty will fall into a situation where there will be no people to use, no food to harvest, and no troops to recruit.
The most important thing is that the officials in his current court may have forgotten his origin, but the soldiers... If nothing else, how many of the ever-victorious army under Guo Yaoshi are from the land of Yanyun?
After slaughtering this place, the first one to rebel was the Chang Sheng Army.
This is the most fatal part, this is Wanyan Zongwang’s method, the first step is to find the foundation!
At the same time, there was also a scandal of massacre of villages under Yue Fei's command, but this time his situation was exactly the opposite of that of Yaoshi Guo.
The scandal of this massacre seems so unreliable. A casual investigation will lead to the matter being the work of the Jin people, and even the survivors are coming forward to testify.
But Yue Fei, who also heard about the changes in Yanjing City, looked even uglier than Pharmacist Guo.
"This is a heart-breaking matter. It seems that we have nothing to do, but if this matter is settled, how will the Evervictorious Army treat us and the soldiers we have laid down?
How will they view the justice of Lu Gong and others! "
"But this is the fact..."
"At this point, do the facts matter?" Yue Fei's face was gloomy, and he clenched the spear in his hand. "Tell Zhang Xian that if the situation in Yanjing City cannot be controlled, then directly trigger a war and forcibly change the situation of Guo Yaoshi and others. pressure.
Let them transfer the matter to the battlefield first. At this time, they don't care about the quality of the strategy. It is better to die on the battlefield than to ruin the people's hearts and completely lose the future! "
"promise!"
At this time, five miles outside Yanjing City, an envoy from the imperial court came again.
"It's really difficult to walk through this place. We must let the emperor have a good time and repair the roads in the future."
