Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 596
The matter against Guo Mo went very smoothly. A large number of people from Jiangzhou sent evidence of Guo Mo’s crimes to Taichung. In addition, Shen Zhezi helped to expose Guo Mo’s misdeeds in Tuzhong in his early years. There were almost no twists and turns in Taichung. , and soon passed a resolution that Tingwei sent people to Jiangzhou to arrest Guo Mo and return him to the capital for interrogation.

Things went so smoothly, even Shen Zhezi was a little surprised, no matter how Guo Mo is now Wang Shu's capable general.But during this process, he didn't even feel that Wang Taibao made any efforts to protect Guo Mo.

Shen Zhezi guessed that it might be because Director Wang and Wang Shu had some differences in thinking and opinions. Probably Director Wang didn't want to see Wang Shu go to war in Jiangzhou so much, so he stood by and wanted to warn Wang Shu.

But no matter whether Wang Dao made a move or not, Shen Zhezi would definitely take Guo Mo down.Because the old traces were too bad, it set a very bad example for those refugees in Jiangbei.If they cannot be severely punished, then the majesty of the Jiangdong court will be even more lost in the eyes of those military leaders in Jiangbei.This will have a very bad impact on Jiangbei's management and the Northern Expedition in the future!
The news of Jiankang soon spread to Jiangzhou. Wang Shu was not surprised by Taichung's decision.The people of Jiangzhou chose to use Guo Mo as a breakthrough and wanted to curb his momentum and actions. This is a good sign for him, and it shows that these Jiangzhou nobles have not completely lost their minds and still have plans to seek peace.

This is exactly what Wang Shu needs, not only to make them afraid, but also to leave them a little bit of leeway.After all, what he needs is a Jiangzhou with manpower and material resources completely under his control, and he cannot completely drive out these noble families.Otherwise, Jiangzhou's vitality will also be seriously injured, which is not in his interest. Once the rest of Fangzhen withdraws and looks back, there will still be a contest.

Guo Mo is not only a sharp knife in Wang Shu's hand, but also a safety line he set for himself. When the fire burns to Guo Mo, it also means that the endurance of Jiangzhou people has reached a critical point.Next, we can no longer be blindly tough. On the one hand, we will see-saw with Taichung around Guo Mo's problem, and on the other hand, we will start to selectively contact some people in Jiangzhou, and the rest will be gradually cleaned up.

Therefore, when the Ting Wei officials arrived in Yuzhang with the edict of Taicheng, Wang Shu no longer obstructed him, and directly asked people to recall Guo Mo with his own warrant.Of course, he didn't hand over Guo Mo directly. He also wanted to use Guo Mo to negotiate with Taichung, while maintaining pressure on various families in Jiangzhou.

If it is too simple to hand over the person, it will inevitably make the Jiangzhou people's flames rise again, and the deterrent effect of his past actions will be greatly reduced.So whether Guo Mo is guilty or not in the end depends on the final result of the negotiations with the Taicheng and Jiangzhou people.

But soon, the news from Poyang surprised Wang Shu.

"Guo Mo is missing? Missing? Why is this happening?"

Hearing the news reported by Wang Yunzhi who had returned from Poyang urgently, Wang Shu's body froze suddenly, and then he almost jumped up from the couch, and his expression changed.

Wang Yunzhi galloped back to the town with his military uniform still undressed. Seeing his father's discoloration, he knelt down in shame and said in a deep voice, "After receiving the order from the envoy, the general immediately went to camp at Guo Mo himself, but the camp was already empty. , Guo Mo and all his subordinates have already left, searched all around, but there is no trace..."

"Has the news been leaked, making it aware?"

Wang Shu asked again.

Wang Yunzhi shook his head: "The final general remembers the order of the envoy, and has been negotiating with Guo Mo's troops in person. Before the order was obtained, he had met with Guo Mo the day before yesterday, and there was no abnormality. The eyes and ears of his troops, There was no strange feeling sent back. This person was preparing for a surprise attack on Shanyue the day before yesterday, but suddenly disappeared..."

Hearing Wang Yunzhi's answer, Wang Shu couldn't help frowning even more.The sudden disappearance of Guo Mo must have received a dangerous signal. Since he has absolutely no such scheming and channels, he must have received a message from some side!
"Dog thief is treacherous, it's really useless!"

Wang Shu cursed bitterly, kicked over the desk in front of him, then felt dizzy for a while, and fell on his back on the couch behind him.

"Father……"

Seeing this, Wang Yunzhi hurriedly rushed forward, and when he saw his father's pale face and haggard appearance, he immediately sent for a doctor.

After being busy in the room for a long time, Wang Shu gradually calmed down, but his expression looked more haggard.Guo Mo's unexpected disappearance, from a small point of view, disrupted his plan and made him no props to negotiate with Taichung.From a general point of view, it revealed that he lacked sufficient control over the troops. It was a shame that the generals could escape his command so easily!

Moreover, it is very likely that there is a shadow of other Fang Zhen behind this incident.This means that there is always a force around that is closely watching Jiangzhou's movements, and Wang Shu's previous belief that the external environment is relatively loose may be wrong!Once Guo Mo was recruited by other Fangzhen and turned around to identify himself, the blow to Wang Shu would be far more serious than the uproar of those aboriginal families in Jiangzhou!
"This idiot, if he wants to die, he can't blame others!"

As Wang Shu said, murderous intent flickered in his eyes, and he must not allow the worst situation to happen: "Immediately issue an order from the governor's office, Guo Mo, this thief, is entangled with wandering bandits, causing chaos in the county and country, and plundering the villagers. If you find any traces of this thief, kill him immediately!"

Wang Yunzhi nodded quickly and wrote quickly.

"Shenyou, return to Poyang as soon as possible to sit in town, and don't let the Guo thief go out of the country and go north!"

Next, Wang Shu ordered Yin Rong to be summoned, and said: "Please Hong Yuan take my warrant and go to Xunyang quickly, and order Zhou Fu to step up the defense of the state border to prevent Jingzhou's dog from changing! If Zhou Fu is different Immediately arrested and escorted back to the town, Xunyang will be ruled by Hong Yuan temporarily."

At the same time, Yang Dan was also called into the Governor's Mansion and sent to Dongyang Prefecture, nominally to help Wang Bin take care of the county affairs, but in fact to check whether the Dongyang Army had gone south to suppress the chaos.

Immediately afterwards, many generals in the town were also summoned into the governor's mansion, and each was ordered to separate and eliminate the aborigines in the counties that had been selected earlier to be cleared.Guo Mo's sudden disappearance brought a great sense of crisis to Wang Shu. He wanted to wipe out Jiangzhou as a whole before all parties took action, so as to deal with the hidden threat that might exist.

------

Located in a remote manor near Beileichi in Poyang, Guo Mo was holding a notice issued by Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion, his face was livid: "Wang Chuming is a shameless man who betrays righteousness and lacks kindness! If Yu Yuzhou didn't trust me privately, he would be like a dog." Killed by thieves!"

He was really angry to the extreme. Wang Shu treated him coldly and took many precautions. Since he recognized Wang Shu as the master, and he had no chance to use it elsewhere, he really planned to settle down in Jiangzhou. .So even if he was assigned by Wang Shu to pretend to be a bandit and rob everywhere, he would do his best, not caring about the resentment of Jiangzhou people aroused by this.

He thought he was open-minded and willing to work hard, but he never expected that Wang Shu would be so ruthless, and if there was any accountability in Taichung, he would be thrown out as a scapegoat!If he hadn't been warned by Yu Yi from Yuzhou in advance, he might be decapitated now!
"My lord, the king thief wants to kill people and kill them all. Jiangzhou is no longer a good land. Where are we going?"

Guo Mo moved to the north and south, and he had a group of loyal family soldiers by his side.Although a lot of people have been separated after several twists and turns, there are still hundreds of people, each of whom has survived a hundred battles and is extremely elite.But with this strength alone, how could he compete against Wang Shu who clearly wanted to put him to death!
"Let's go to Yuzhou! Wang Chuming is so eager to silence me because he is worried that I will turn around and expose his crimes of being a bandit and torturing Jiangzhou. Hmph, since he is so ruthless, I will do as he thinks!"

Guo Mo said bitterly.

Regarding Guo Mo's decision, the general has some reservations: "The high-ranking family is powerful, and we are regarded as puppet dogs. Jiangzhou is already like this, and Yuzhou may not be credible... But my lord has a decision, and I will wait for myself. It is to risk your life to follow, lest the lord will be abandoned by the high-ranking people if he is so enthusiastic!"

After Guo Mo heard the words, his expression was unavoidably gloomy. He sighed and said, "How could I not know about this hidden danger? I have been tossing and turning for many years, and I can't settle down. So what if the merit is as high as Su Zigao? He deeply regrets coming to the south back then. Yu Shuyu may not be kind, and his private letter to warn him may not be just to save me. He should have a plan for Jiangzhou. Since he still relies heavily on me, even if he has evil thoughts, he will not harm me immediately. And Temporarily living in Liyang, when the opportunity arises, immediately go to Beitou, then the Jiangdong government will not be able to harm me!"

The longer the stay in Jiangzhou, the more dangerous the situation will be. Once a decision is made, Guo Mo should send a letter to Yu Yi, asking him to be ready to respond.He himself led the rest of his troops, went out day and night, crossed mountains and ridges, swam across ditches, and finally crossed the river after more than ten days and arrived in the suburbs of Liyang.

When they arrived at the agreed meeting place, Guo Mo and his party were already exhausted, but seeing the knights with the banner of Yuzhou waiting in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a little lucky for the rest of their lives.Although it was a poor way to vote, Guo Mo was also a veteran general who had fought in the north and south. Instead of rushing forward, he stopped a few miles away to rest for a while and let the troops line up.

The Yuzhou army also attached great importance to Guo Mo's arrival, and thousands of knights flew over.When the opponent approached and saw who the leader and general of the opponent was, Guo Mo's face suddenly changed, and he froze there.

Guo Song led the cavalry and ordered Guo Mo and other exhausted troops to be surrounded.

"Protect the lord!"

At this time, Guo Mo's subordinates also realized that the Yuzhou Army did not seem to be coming to support them, so they cheered up and protected Guo Mo in the center of the formation.

However, after being silent for a while, Guo Mo pushed aside the crowd, walked to the front, and said loudly to the cavalry: "Back then, when he rebelled against Mr. Li and fled to the south, it was because a certain Guo Mo was deceived by his selfish intentions. , survived a hundred battles, you can boast of being strong and powerful, I would like to give my brother Shu Shu as much as possible, and save his life as a foundation for future achievements!"

The opposite cavalry was a little slow, but after a while, Guo Mo's response was only extremely cold: "Kill without mercy!"

There was no suspense in the battle at all, the Yuzhou army was waiting for work, but Guo Mo's troops were at the end of the road, and they were exhausted from a long distance.This battle couldn't be called a battle at all. As the Yuzhou Army charged forward, it was simply a massacre!

Half a quarter of an hour later, Guo Song rode alone to where Guo Mo was. At this time, there was no one standing beside Guo Mo. Even Guo Mo himself was lying down in a pool of blood from his stump, his eyes fixed on him. Guo Song, who was gradually approaching, let out a growl that seemed to be crying or laughing: "Huangquan is dead, Guo Mo is one step ahead... Jiangdong is a bad land, and the poor are hard to live. Where will Guo Zishu die in the future!"

Guo Song dismounted, put aside the blood-stained pocket guard, stepped on the pool of bones and blood with his boots, and walked slowly in front of Guo Mo. He drew out his saber and pressed it against Guo Mo's chest. Who should die for a serious crime?"

After saying that, the sharp blade in Guo Song's hand suddenly swung down, and a head was thrown high with the cold light.He bent down to pick up the blood-soaked head, turned to face north and bowed slowly: "The thief confers the head, does Li Gongying rest in peace?"

The iron man burst into tears, crying heartbrokenly, and tears filled the eyes of all who heard it.

　Let's stop here today. . .
