…

Is Liang Shanjun coming? ! ! !

Pharmacist Guo never expected that the Liangshan Army would move so fast!

Pharmacist Guo couldn't help but said: "It's broken!"

It's broken.

There was no need for Pharmacist Guo to explain. Pharmacist Guo’s confidants Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen and others also understood that Pharmacist Guo meant that they were slow to react.

If Guo Yaoshi and others offered Zhuozhou before the Liangshan Army came over, then they would have made a contribution to the city, although not as much as Gao Feng and others who were the first to offer Yizhou City, one of the seven major cities in Yan. It's big, but it can at least ensure that they don't lose their current official positions.

And if Guo Yaoshi and the others presented the city when the Liangshan Army was pressing heavily on the border, it would mean that they were afraid of the Liangshan Army and chose to surrender.

This nature has changed.

The key point is that Yaoshi Guo and the others are military generals. If Jiang Hongfei sees them as weak and incompetent, their career, glory and wealth will be over.

Zhang Linghui said with regret: "Why did the Liangshan Army act so decisively? They didn't even give us a chance to dedicate the city!"

Liu Shunren also said: "If we offer the city at this time, we will definitely make him think that our Evervictorious Army is afraid of his Liangshan Army."

Even Zhen Wuchen said: "If we offer the city now, I am afraid that the people in the world will underestimate my ever-victorious army."

The most ambitious among these people is Yaoshi Guo.

Pharmacist Guo can voluntarily surrender to Jiang Hongfei, because that is his choice, and it is his way of managing his own future.

But passive surrender is what Guo Yaoshi is not willing to do, because once he takes this path, he will inevitably be looked down upon by Jiang Hongfei, and his career may be ruined.

Let me ask, if a military general cannot lead troops to win a battle, what use is he?

Therefore, if Guo Yaoshi wants to have a real fight or two with the Liangshan Army, it is best to severely defeat the Liangshan Army and demonstrate the combat effectiveness of the victorious army he leads. By then, whether he surrenders to Jiang Hongfei or goes to Investors all have a certain amount of capital, allowing them to start over and continue to pursue fame and fortune.

Based on this, Medicine Master Guo said: "Brothers, if we surrender without fighting, we will be underestimated by the world and our future will be ruined. How about establishing our authority first and then discussing whether to donate the city to the Duke of Qi or surrender to the Jurchens?" "

Guo Yaoshi's proposal was supported by the senior officials of Changsheng Army.

The reason why the senior officials of the Ever-victorious Army support Yaoshi Guo's idea is because they have confidence in their own combat power. You must know that their Ever-victorious Army has a certain ability even against the invincible Jin Army. The power of war, let alone the weak Han army?

As early as twenty days ago, Pharmacist Guo had assembled the Ever Victorious Army and stationed it in the area from Zhuozhou to the ancient city.

In the early morning of May 11th, the fourth year of Xuanhe's reign in the Song Dynasty, Guo Pharmacist led all the victorious troops to the ancient city, preparing to fight the Liangshan Army.

When he came to the battlefield and saw the appearance of the front army of the right route army led by Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin, Guo Yaoshi couldn't help but have a look of fear on his face.

Guo Pharmacist's adviser, the scholar Lang Wangshu, suggested: "If we all take over the city and go to the stronghold, we can send Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren to lead a partial army. If we all go, if we don't win, we will be completely defeated. Our ever-victorious army will be greatly shaken. Moreover, Zhuozhou is now empty. We must also defend to prevent the Liangshan army from breaking in. "

Pharmacist Guo said helplessly: "I look at this army. It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invading and plundering as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the clouds, and as moving as thunder. My ever-victorious army will go all out to defeat it. Can we defeat it?" , we still don’t know, let alone not trying our best?”

From Guo Yaoshi's words, it is not difficult to see that he has decided to personally lead his army to fight against the Liangshan Army.

In order to boost morale, Pharmacist Guo used a large amount of spiritual money to reward the soldiers of the victorious army with great fanfare.

Then Medical Master Guo personally led the army and set off.

Pharmacist Guo is indeed a figure who can stir up history.

I saw that the ever-victorious army under the command of Guo Yaoshi had bright armor and neat ranks. With a wave of the flag, the number of the cavalry shining brightly in the sun was unknown.

In an open space to the south of the ancient city, Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin led the eight thousand horse infantry of the Liangshan Army to form a formation on the east side. The Ever Victorious Army advanced all the way south, and finally formed an array in the open space to the west.

Although the Ever Victorious Army only had eight thousand, they were all horse troops. In terms of military strength comparison, Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin were slightly inferior in strength, so they did not dare to attack. They wanted to delay the arrival of a large force from the Right Route Army led by Sun Jing. Fight with the victorious army.

But what was both reasonable and unexpected was that Yaoshi Guo decisively led his army to charge against the Liangshan Army without giving the Liangshan Army any time to assemble.

Seeing this, Wu Jiao had already removed the cover of the gourd given to him by Jiang Hongfei, and shouted: "Quiet!" A black air rushed out of the gourd, and spread for a long time, making him feel dizzy and miserable, like many fine sand and iron filings. The thing hit the person, and the skin and flesh were so painful that it was unbearable. The victorious soldiers and horses were immediately in chaos.

Taking this opportunity, Luan Tingyu did not hesitate to take the lead and lead the Ma Liu Army to kill the left wing of the Ever Victorious Army. Wu Lin also organized his infantry to shoot the center and right wing of the Ever Victorious Army with divine arm bows.

Putting aside the character of the Ever-Victorious Army, the Ever-Victorious Army formed from the orphans and hungry people of the Liao River War can indeed be called a powerful army in this world.

Facing Wu Jiao's spell, they used their spiritual energy to inspire their armor to resist the bone-chilling pain and fight the Liangshan Army.

At that time, the two formations were facing each other from east to west, with Guo Yaoshi coming from the south, and Luan Tingyu and Zhang Linghui fighting head-on. Under the cover of Wu Jiao, Wu Lin used his infantry to shoot at the main force of the Chinese army led by Guo Yaoshi and the right wing led by Liu Shunren in sections. The two sides fought fiercely for more than 30 miles.

Because of the bravery of the Liangshan army and Wu Lin's proper command, the 5,000 infantry held back the center and right wing of the Changsheng Army for a long time. Luan Tingyu was able to defeat Zhang Linghui in 70 rounds. Zhang Linghui saw that the Liangshan army was difficult to defeat and was the first to lead his army to escape. Luan Tingyu chased him for a while, and then led his army back to the right wing of the Changsheng Army to defeat Liu Shunren, who also led his army to escape from the battlefield.

After a hard battle, Guo Yaoshi led the center of the Changsheng Army to kill into the infantry led by Wu Lin.

The cavalry rushed into the infantry, which was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.

But just when Guo Yaoshi was about to kill everyone, he turned around and saw that Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren had been driven away by Luan Tingyu, and there was smoke and dust in the distance, which was obviously the reinforcements of the Liangshan Army.

There was no way, Guo Yaoshi could only give up the opportunity to defeat Wu Lin's infantry and lead the center of the Changsheng Army to break through quickly.

Wu Lin did not feel lucky because he escaped from the iron hoof of the Ever-Victorious Army. On the contrary, he seized the opportunity to command his infantry to encircle and suppress the Ever-Victorious Army under Guo Yaoshi.

With Guo Yaoshi leading the way, the Ever-Victorious Army finally broke through the siege and fled to Zhuozhou before the reinforcements of the Liangshan Army arrived.

Before this battle, Guo Yaoshi had 300 hard soldiers (that is, his own troops). After breaking through the siege, only 120 people were left. The casualties of the rest of the Ever-Victorious Army can be imagined.

The battle started in the morning. After the hour of Wei, Zhang Linghui led his troops to retreat to Zhuozhou, and then Liu Shunren also retreated.

In the evening, Guo Yaoshi also led more than a thousand remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Zhuozhou.

The three of them were very depressed and complained about each other. In the end, they all agreed that it was not that they were too weak, but that the Liangshan Army was too strong. Only a vanguard of the right army defeated them, which showed that the Liangshan Army was not just an ordinary bandit, but a regular army with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

That night, Sun Jing personally led 40,000 troops to the city and surrounded Zhuozhou City.

The dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City saw that Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, and Liu Shunren had all retreated and felt that the situation was not good, so they held a meeting and wanted to form a 2,000-man death squad, and then open the city gates to protect them and retreat to Yanjing.

After hearing about this, Pharmacist Guo asked Wang Shu: "How should I respond?"

Wang Shu said: "You are a general who defends the land. How can you compare with others? You should defend it to the death. Moreover, if you lead others, they all have their families to drag them down. How can they escape to Yanjing?"

Pharmacist Guo said: "That's exactly what Pharmacist means."

After a while, someone came to report that Zhang Chun, the Lianfang Envoy of Zhuozhou, brought his family to the north gate of the city and prepared to leave the city. In addition, there were about one or two hundred clerks from the Caosi who smashed the north gate of the city and also wanted to escape from the north of the city.

Pharmacist Guo decisively ordered Zhen Wuchen: "You immediately take people to stop them. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the chaos will be killed!"

It took a long time before the area around the north gate of the city was pacified.

That night, there were many rumors in Zhuozhou City. Some said that the Changsheng Army might surrender to Jiang Hongfei. Some people urged Guo Yaoshi to take them to abandon Zhuozhou and flee. Some people suggested that Guo Yaoshi send people to Yanjing for help. Some people said to Guo Yaoshi: "Zhuozhou is the place governed by the public. If you follow the advice of others and abandon the city and flee, they will definitely put the blame on you one day. You must be careful." Guo Yaoshi knew that if he led the people to flee to Yanjing, he would definitely be thrown into a dead end. He already knew the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Army. If the 200,000 Liangshan Army had such combat effectiveness, it would definitely not be something that the tens of thousands of troops in Yanjing could resist. After thinking about it, Guo Yaoshi called the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City overnight, and first briefly introduced the battle situation during the day and the next plan to everyone. Guo Yaoshi said: "In today's battle, Yaoshi defeated them with his cavalry, chased them for 30 miles, and killed them in the infantry of Liangshan Army. He saw that he was about to win, but he looked back and saw that the left and right wings did not fight, so he thought they were defeated. Then he saw the reinforcements of Liangshan Army coming, so he rushed back. Now he gathered his troops and entered the city to wait. Tomorrow, he will fight to the death. If he loses, he will lead his troops to Yanjing to wait for reinforcements."

Zhang Linghui asked: "Will the court send troops?"

Someone answered: "Of course not! The court has a total of 50,000 troops now. Excluding our Changsheng Army, there are only more than 40,000. This number of troops is not enough to guard Juyongguan and other passes and Yanjing. How can there be troops to rescue our Changsheng Army?"

Someone else said: "Retreating after a defeat is also a practice in ancient times. It is better to retreat to Yanjing overnight and plan for the next move."

Liu Shunren disagreed: "The Changsheng Army's family members are all in Zhuozhou. How can they get out? If they are led away, it will accelerate the chaos!"

Guo Yaoshi and Liu Shunren both agreed.

Everyone discussed it over and over again, because the people present were complicated and each had their own little thoughts, and in the end no one was willing to propose surrendering the city first.

Seeing this, Guo Yaoshi said righteously: "Yaoshi is a general, and he should also die to repay the Liao Dynasty. You can go if you want."

There were dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City who asked Guo Yaoshi to send a hundred people from the Ever-Victorious Army to escort their families out of the city.

But Guo Yaoshi replied firmly: "The Ever-Victorious Army cannot be sent."

Guo Yaoshi also said: "If you take the path of life, you may not die; if you follow the path of death, you may not live."

Many dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou City heard what Guo Yaoshi said, and saw that the Liangshan army surrounded the city on all sides, and gave up the idea of ​​escaping Zhuozhou City.

Late at night, someone came to tell Pharmacist Guo that Huang Ben, the governor guarding the east gate of Zhuozhou City, had secretly sent someone to contact the Liangshan Army, saying that he could open the city gate to provide internal support for the Liangshan Army. He also asked Sun Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army: " I wonder if the marshal wants Medicine Master Guo alive or Medicine Master Guo dead?”

Pharmacist Guo knew that the masterminds behind Huang Ben were Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren.

In fact, Pharmacist Guo also ordered Wang Shu to draft a surrender form to Jiang Hongfei, which said:

"Wait for the time to move, and the movement and stillness are unknown. Those who obey the sky will survive, and their survival and death cannot be ignored. The minister Suti's army encountered six hundred misfortune. Emperor Tianzuo lost his country, Tianxi's political platform was in chaos, and internal robberies Foreign invaders are dividing the world. The Duke of Qi, with his virtue of living well, punishes the people and orders the tiger ministers to support a large army and march to Yizhou to suppress our territory. Now that he knows that God is coming, he dares to fight against the trapped beasts..."

In fact, in the previous battle, the front army of the Right Army and the Ever Victorious Army had equal kills. Luan Tingyu and Wu Lin did not think that they had defeated the Ever Victorious Army. They only thought that their own reinforcements had arrived and scared away the Ever Victorious Army.

However, the Evervictorious Army had a tradition of rebellion from top to bottom and were suspicious of each other, so they tried to surrender.

in short.

The next day, in the presence of the soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army who competed to present the city, Sun Jing led the Liangshan Army to formally enter Zhuozhou City. The Liangshan heroes planted the flags of Shuibo Liangshan on the walls of Zhuozhou City.

The second state city of Yandi fell into the hands of Shuibo Liangshan.

As soon as Sun Jing arrived in Zhuozhou, Pharmacist Guo quickly knelt down and said, "Pharmacist is a remote person, guarding Zhuozhou in a humble way. He has long wanted to join the Duke of Qi, but there has never been a chance. Until recently, I heard that Master Wang has started the Northern Expedition." , I would like to lead my colleagues and request to serve under the command of the military advisor."

What made Pharmacist Guo's heart sink was that Sun Jing actually said calmly: "Please get up. I have heard the name of General Guo a long time ago. When I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved. General Guo can understand the current affairs, follow the trend, serve the Duke of Qi, and work together." A great undertaking is truly a heroic feat.”

With that said, Sun Jing invited Jiang Hongfei's edict.

In the edict, Jiang Hongfei appointed Guo Yaoshi as the observation envoy of Enzhou and the governor of Zhuozhou, Zhang Linghui as the doctor of Zuowu and the defense envoy of Taozhou, Liu Shunren as the doctor of martial arts and the defense envoy of Qinzhou, Zhen Wuchen as the doctor of Wuyi and the governor of Huaizhou, and Zhao Heshou as the right Doctor Wu, the governor of Hengzhou, and other people who dedicated the city each received a reward.

When the Liangshan army approached the city, Guo Yaoshi and others surrendered. To be able to receive such a high reward, Jiang Hongfei definitely showed his kindness and even paid a large sum of money to buy his bones.

Pharmacist Guo and others were overjoyed and quickly knelt down to pay homage to the chief inspector and thank Jiang Hongfei for his great kindness.

Just when Guo Yaoshi and other soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army imagined that they would be reused by Jiang Hongfei, Sun Jing dealt a cruel blow to them.

After Sun Jing took over Zhuozhou, all the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Zhuozhou went to the public trial platform to be tried. Not to mention, even the officers and soldiers of the Changsheng Army also lined up to go to the public trial platform.

The military discipline of the Ever Victorious Army is extremely poor. Not to mention that each of its officers and men is a bandit who burns, kills, and loots. It is not much different. Anyway, it harms the countryside, bullies men and women, relies on the strong to bully the weak, takes things by force, and buys things by force. Selling, bullying and dominating the market are things that the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army often do.

How could such a soldier of the ever-victorious army step down from the public trial platform?

As a result, in less than three days, thousands of soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army were beheaded.

Even Zhang Linghui, the second-in-command of the Ever Victorious Army, was pushed to the public trial platform amidst the excitement of the crowd and had Sun Jing beheaded.

Pharmacist Guo quickly interceded for the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army.

But Sun Jing didn't like Yaoshi Guo at all.

Sun Jing's servant clearly told Yaoshi Guo and others that if the soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army did not want to go to the public trial, they would have to donate all their family assets to Sun Jing.

When the officers and soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army learned about this, they became very excited. They secretly contacted each other to discuss the mutiny.

Pharmacist Guo felt something was wrong, so when Liu Shunren sent someone to discuss the mutiny with him, he pretended to be ill and did not go.

Before two hours had passed, Medicine Master Guo heard the news that the Chang Sheng Army had mutinied, and Sun Jing sent Black Tornado Li Kui to suppress it.

Li Kui, the butcher, killed all Chang Shengjun from Liu Shunren down...
