Guo Yong looked at Dong Xian, who was nine feet tall, had a face as deep as the bottom of a pot, and had a rather strange appearance in front of him, with two straight yellow eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He was not surprised by this appearance, nor by the official position of the Grand Steward's Pioneer Award, but by his name.
Mr. Dong, that’s a celebrity!
He is from Luoyang. He followed Zhai Xing's army and fought against the Jin people. He had many heroic deeds, and he can be regarded as a newly appointed general who is quite famous in the anti-jin circles.
At that time, Dong Xian served as the governor of Meng, Ru, and Tangzhou towns in Henan Province and was also the commander of the former army commander of the northwestern route of Beijing under Zhai Xing of Henan Prefecture. As the name suggests, "in every battle, he risked his arrows and stones to lead the troops." This is the battlefield. The brave vanguard of the three armies.
As a result, during the last war, most of the Song Dynasty was full of flowers. The battlefields that Zhao Huan could monitor were Hebei Road Zongze, Hedong Road Zhongshizhong, Shandong Road Network Wang Yuan, and Yanshan Prefecture's Guo Yaoshi and Yue Fei.
But the battlefields where the Song Dynasty fought against the Jin Dynasty were not just these four. If this was the Battle of Daming Mansion, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the generals who resisted the Jin Dynasty and the invading Jin people fought endlessly.
The person Dong first bumped into was the Jin general Gao Qiong.
Gao Qiong was also a general of the Jin people, and he was quite capable. Under his leadership, the Jin people quickly broke through Shangzhou and directly entered the Shaanxi Road.
At that time, Dong Xian was his opponent, and was temporarily seconded to Zhang Qi, the Wuyi doctor and the governor of Chengzhou. The two of them cooperated tacitly to win consecutive battles, defeating Gao Qiong nine times, and beating Gao Qiong to the point of death.
But as the saying goes, good times don't last long. After defeating Gao Qiong, Dong Xian and Zhang Qi were a little distracted. This guy came up to help the Hedong Road battlefield.
That's right, Nianhan had not yet shown his power at that time, and Dong Xian and Zhang Qi felt that they could do it themselves.
Needless to say, the results were natural. Not to mention the two unlucky ones, all the cultivators lost their lives, let alone Dong Xian and Zhang Qi.
As soon as they crossed the Weishui River and entered Hedong Road, they ran into Nianhan's army head-on, and asked Nianhan's troops to join Bo Jin and other generals to encircle and suppress them all the way.
The two of them fought with the Jin people in Xingping, Xianyang, Weihe, Shijiu Valley and other places. It was not until both sides stopped fighting that they finally took a breath of fresh air.
As a result, before they could withdraw their troops, Liu Yu took the initiative to cut off the two of them's food supply in order to show his loyalty.
In the end, the helpless Dong Xian chose to surrender, and this was all Guo Yong knew.
But now this situation...
"A certain family did surrender to Liu Yu at the beginning, but that family was not greedy for life and afraid of death!" Mr. Dong knew his doubts and took the initiative to explain, "At the beginning, we were isolated and helpless, but we did not intend to surrender to the bandits.
So after Liu Yu cut off our retreat and food route, a certain family entrusted all their family members and children to Zhang Qi, and bought Zhang Qi a way of life at their own expense.
He knows the heart of a certain family. If Guo Gong doesn't believe it, just ask Zhang Qi! "
After hearing such confident words, Guo Yong naturally would not look for Zhang Qi who was thousands of miles away, but he also carefully looked at the general in front of him.
"I don't know whether I should believe you or not!"
"Dong Xian has nothing to say, and there is no token of appreciation from General Yue, but every word Dong Xian said is sincere!"
Guo Yong who heard these words, if it had been someone else, he would have been kicked out long ago, but now the speaker is Dong Xian, who once set a record of nine battles in one day, nine battles and nine victories. He really can't help it. Not easy to think about.
"Years ago, the officials once told the world that the Song Dynasty was completely defeated due to the imperial court. I don't know how many generals and officers had no choice but to surrender to the Jin people.
Now that the officials have issued an edict to take responsibility for the crimes here, all generals can return to the court as long as they are willing to know their way back and abide by the military laws of the Song Dynasty.
Now...I am willing to believe you! "
Guo Yong finally thought of Zhao Huan, which was his first decree after moving the capital. There was only one thing, sinner!
He accepted all the guilt into his own arms, as well as the incompetence and arrogance of the Zhao family.
Zhao Huan knew that traitors deserved to die, but he also knew how many of these people were forced to do nothing.
In history, Zhang Chunxiao, the prefect of Taiyuan, who defended Taiyuan City for a year and lost almost everything after being abandoned by the court, preferred to die rather than surrender after being captured due to exhaustion.
In the end, he was deceived into becoming Liu Yu's fake Prime Minister of Qi. He spent the rest of his life delivering information to the Song Dynasty, but in the end he was still known as a traitor.
Niu Gao, the general of the Yue family army, fought for Yue Fei all his life. He had no regrets and no regrets. He also once surrendered to the puppet Qi.
There is also Dong Xian, a famous general who even Qin Hui could not bear to harm and wanted to make him a new generation commander. He had no choice but to surrender to Liu Yu because of the collapse of his rear.
Besides them, there were too many people who loved this land and were loyal enough, but they still surrendered.
If all the faults were placed on them because of their surrender, Zhao Huan felt that he would be a more disgusting Zhao Gou at best.
It doesn't matter if you are wrong, what matters is that you need to know how to correct it. This is what Li Shimin told him when he was reading Tang History.
The emperor is also a human being. He has desires and emotions, and he will make mistakes. It doesn't matter if he makes a mistake. He has to know that he is wrong, and then know how to change it. If he changes, he will still be a good emperor.
Dong Xian didn't know what Guo Yong was thinking. He just knelt down and bowed to Guo Yong, then bowed deeply to him, as if thanking him for his trust in him.
Guo Yong sent troops. Not only did he send troops, he immediately asked Quan Bangyan to lead troops and horses to surprise the Jin camp after Dong Xian told him that Wanyan Yanmu had left secretly.
After the raid, Quan Bangyan immediately replied to Guo Yong that Dong Xian had not lied to anyone. This was indeed an empty camp with only a thousand people inside bluffing.
Now they have killed them all.
After Guo Yong heard the news, he did not immediately rescue Nan Le. Instead, he took Quan Bangyan and started raiding Daming Mansion directly!
Yes, this is Guo Yong.
He used Yue Fei, who would assist him, as a bait to attract the main force of the Jin people, and took the opportunity to clean up the entire Daming Mansion and rescue people such as Xue Guang, Zhao Bushi, Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and others.
These people have different identities, but they all gather here to fight to the death for Daming Mansion.
Guo Yong and Quan Bangyan were both well-known generals. At this time, they attacked with all their strength, regardless of the city and only attacked the rebels. They swept all the way and gathered everyone together in less than a month.
At this time, Yue Fei had been holding on to Nanle City for half a year.
After these soldiers and horses gathered together, they immediately headed towards Nanle City. Wanyan and his mother had just received the news at this time, and they did not even have time to react appropriately.
Looking at the Song army who slowly came to him, and the blood-stained but still standing generals such as Yue Fei on the city wall, the two famous Jin generals also knew that they might not be able to hold it anymore.
"Withdraw troops!" Wanyan Yanmu decided on this matter as quickly as possible. Even when faced with the doubts of Wanyan Yinshu's generals, he did not explain too much, just two simple words.
"withdraw troops!"
Brother Wanyan Yinshu also expressed his approval, and the facts proved that their decision was correct.
While Guo Yong, Zhao Bushi and others were surrounding the Jin people in reverse, Niu Gao, Dong Xian and others were also constantly summoning their old troops. There is no doubt that Liu Yu and Duchong betrayed the Song Dynasty.
However, many of the soldiers under his command did not completely want to surrender to the Jin people and help him do evil.
Under the greetings of Niugao Dongxian and others, a large net has already rushed towards the Jin people, and the fighting in Daming Mansion has completely changed from Daming County to today's Nanle County.
Yue Fei really changed the situation with one move. Wanyan Yanmu and Wanyan Yinshu brother who immediately evacuated when they found something was wrong were still chased, blocked and killed by many soldiers in the end.
If the reinforcements sent by Nianhan hadn't arrived in time, they might have had to put in more effort to escape.
In this battle, Brother Wanyan Yinshu successfully took away a lot of soldiers and horses from Du Chong and Liu Yu, but compared to their losses, these things were really insignificant.
Although Yue Fei lost some soldiers and horses in this battle, he not only saved Daming Mansion, but even surrendered tens of thousands of rebels.
Among them, Niu Gao, Hu Cheng, Pang Rong, Dong Xian, Fu Qing, Hu Qing, Meng Bangjie and others were originally expected to be generals under Yue Fei's command, but now they have returned to their positions ahead of schedule with the participation of Zhao Huan.
Similarly, Zhao Bucheng, Quan Bangyan and others who should have died on the battlefield or were unfortunately captured are now alive and well.
The Eight-Character Army was still placed under the command of Zhang. Although Zhao Huan did not reveal his identity, he went directly to the room to "take out" the decree that had been prepared long ago, allowing them to continue to stay in Daming Mansion.
In the future, Zhang Suo was appointed as the governor of Daming Prefecture, Guo Yong was appointed as military counselor, and Quan Bangyan and Xu Huiyan were appointed as partial generals to temporarily stay in Daming Prefecture.
Zhao Bushi, Xue Guang and Zhang Qiong were simultaneously transferred to Yue Fei's army to follow orders. In the future, they will stay in Kaifeng as the second line of defense.
However, Zhao Huan considered Zongze's age... He felt that Zongze's end might have come.
The temporary transfer to Yue Fei's account is also to facilitate the transition of power in the future, and also to increase Yue Fei's strength.
However, the war in Daming Mansion was successfully concluded, but the war in the Central Plains on the other side made everyone feel an indescribable discomfort.
Of course Zongze did not fail. Yang Jin was seriously injured and died under Jin Wushu's fierce attack. The eight thousand soldiers and horses stationed in the water village were almost wiped out.
But in the end, their result did not result in Jin Wushu's defeat!
Yelu Mawu was beheaded by Zongze, and Wanyan Balisu almost escaped with his life under the attack of Cao Cheng and Zongze, but Wanyan Yuying on the other side did make a perfect retreat.
The reason was still the guy who made Yue Fei hate him so much, Dong Cai!
Surrounded by Zongze on all sides, this guy found a long-forgotten path and successfully evacuated with Wanyan Yuying's army.
However, Zhang Suo, who was supposed to flank Jin Wushu, was blocked by Liu Guangshi. By the time he broke through the blockage, Jin Wushu had already beaten the water stronghold to pieces.
Wanyan Yuying had also escaped. After the two sides reunited, they also chose to withdraw from the battlefield.
Only a mess was left, and Yue Fei and others also received the battle report from Jiangnan. Knowing that this was Nianhan's revenge, Zhao Huan immediately asked Yue Fei to reorganize his troops and fight again in Jiangnan.
