She Song

Chapter 187 Ambition is no match for youth
When Han Xiaoyao left, Murong Fei kept sending him to the door, thanking him profusely.

In the bedroom, Pharmacist Guo's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he no longer looked sick at all.

Zhen Wuchen, who looked surprised, still frowned.

Zhang Linghui, who quietly climbed out of the stable, poked his head outside the door with a filthy smell.

"Come in, I just have something to tell you!" Medicine Master Guo waved to General Zhi.

Zhang Linghui quickly slipped in, and immediately bowed to the ground: "Thank you, brother, for saving your life...what did they say?"

Zhen Wuchen recounted from memory: "The King of Zhenbei proposed to form a border guarding corps, of which the ever-victorious army was tentatively set at 10, which must be under the unified management of the corps headquarters. In addition, a cavalry column must be formed, together with the regular soldiers of the Zhenguo Army. What reserves are there? The entire Corps has a full strength of [-] people."

Zhang Linghui touched the back of his head and asked in confusion: "Are they so kind?"

"You can't say that, but this matter will wrong you, Old Zhang!"

"What grievance?" Zhang Linghui had a premonition that something bad happened.

Zhen Wuchen told the other party earnestly: "The King of Zhenbei promised that as long as we do not violate the military regulations of the Zhenguo Army, he will not interfere in the daily affairs of Yanjing. Therefore, the first one is the South Gate blockade incident. According to the military regulations, you have to Six months of hard labor and no future command of the army."

Zhang Linghui was startled and looked at Pharmacist Guo anxiously: "Brother, I am loyal to you, you can't fall into their alienation plan!"

Pharmacist Guo said slowly: "Now that things have come to an end...my brother owes you. When you come back from hard work, you can choose your money and women..."

Zhang Linghui, who had tasted military power, was not willing to give in, but when Guo Yaoshi reached a deal with Han Xiaoyao, he was an abandoned chess piece and could not be changed no matter what.

Zhen Wuchen persuaded again: "Old Zhang, it's not easy for the eldest brother to fight against each other. Besides, after so many years of life and death, it's not bad to be a rich man and be safe..."

Zhang Linghui laughed and said: "You climb up the high branches, wishing you could be crowned marquises and generals. Brother, what a fart... Haha, you will not end well..."

Now that his hope was shattered, his words were aroused, and he even mocked Guo and Zhen with extreme sarcasm.

Zhen Wuchen coughed, and several guards rushed in and pushed Zhang Linghui out.

Pharmacist Guo was still thinking. In fact, he couldn't understand Han Xiaoyao's generosity, but when the facts were in front of him, he had to believe it.

Zhen Wuchen asked: "Brother, how to deal with it?"

Pharmacist Guo sighed and said with some sadness: "We all crawled here from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. How could we be so greedy? It's okay to betray me, Pharmacist Guo, but you can never forgive me for almost burying [-] of our brothers from the Ever Victorious Army." !”

Zhen Wuchen knew in his heart that Zhang Linghui took the initiative to close the city gate today, which confirmed his collusion with Wang Anzhong in order to intensify the conflict between the Zhenguo Army and the Changsheng Army.

Moreover, Pharmacist Guo gave him a way out, but Zhang Linghui not only did not want to repent, but also harbored resentment.

The existence of such an unstable factor will cause great hidden dangers to the coexistence of the two armies in the future, so Zhang Linghui cannot stay.

Zhen Wuchen changed the subject: "Brother, will there be no problem with the reorganization?"

Pharmacist Guo smiled slightly and asked, "You must not have guessed what Han Xiaoyao said to me in the end?"

When Pharmacist Guo requested to retain personal guards, Han Xiaoyao rejected the others and had a secret conversation with Pharmacist Guo alone. Then, Pharmacist Guo accepted the request to reorganize the Ever Victorious Army.

Zhen Wuchen was naturally surprised, but he did not take the initiative to inquire.Even now, when Pharmacist Guo mentioned it, he did not ask further questions because he knew the other party very well.

As Yaoshi Guo, who rose from the bottom of the people, his desire for power is extremely persistent. If he is not very sure, how can he be willing to accept the other party's conditions?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Guo Yaoshi's mouth.

"Wuchen, are you 38 this year?"

"Yes...how?"

"Do you still remember what we said when you and I joined the army eight years ago?"

Zhen Wuchen's thoughts went back to the days when he first joined the army.

At that time, Liaodong was raging with war and hungry people were everywhere. The Liao Kingdom recruited [-] young men named the "Resentful Army" to attack the Jurchens.

After Guo Yaoshi took Zhen Wuchen to enlist in the army, he once held a porridge bowl and wiped his tears and said to Zhen Wuchen: "As long as you can eat enough every day, death is worth it!"

Guo Yaoshi asked again: "Joker Dong was killed for the rebellion, and tens of thousands of people died. What did we say the night we survived?"

How could Zhen Wuchen not remember that when Medical Master Guo held the head of Luo Qinghan Dong Zhongsun and knelt in front of Xiao Qian, everyone thought that he would definitely die because Yelu Yujian threatened to kill all the resentful troops.

But no one expected that Xiao Qian would actually vouch for Guo Yaoshi and even support him to take charge of the remaining resentful army.

That night, Yaoshi Guo, who had narrowly escaped death, once said to everyone: "But if there is only one state, this life is enough!"

On the eve of the collapse of the Liao Kingdom, Pharmacist Guo actually took control of the two states of Zhuo and Yi. He also heard that the southerners sent an army of 20 to attack Yanyun, so he led his victorious army to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

However, after several twists and turns, until now Yanjing City was taken, Zhen Guojun killed him before his butt was hot.

Pharmacist Guo finally said calmly: "A few days ago, I thought that if I put more effort, I should be able to become a marquis within ten years, but seeing that King Zhenbei was so young, he suddenly lost the ability to dominate the world. Interest... I'm already 42, how can I still have a few more years to live?"

Zhen Wuchen was stunned.

Guo Yaoshi actually has a faint intention to retire, just because Han Xiaoyao is younger than him?
However, if Pharmacist Guo retreats, what will happen to these brothers and the tens of thousands of people under his command?
No, we must not let my eldest brother retire like this!

"Brother, Jiang Ziya only came out of the mountain at the age of 72. You are in your prime, and tens of thousands of brothers obey you. You must not lose your mind!"

"Don't worry!" Patting the other party's shoulder, Yaoshi Guo continued: "What I mean is that at this age, you should know your position. I am afraid that being a prince is the limit of this life. No matter how high you are, you can't reach it..."

Zhen Wuchen couldn't help but wonder, what do you mean?Become a Marquis...become a King!Understand, Han Xiaoyao was the king from the beginning. Guo Yaoshi looked at him and thought about how he had been busy and working hard all his life. It was really boring that someone could achieve it and surpass it by several levels in a few months.

Finally, Pharmacist Guo nodded: "Don't worry, they don't care about the Ever Victorious Army and Yanjing City at all. They just want to take a rest temporarily. Han Xiaoyao also said that we value the territory too much, and our horizons will be narrowed due to constraints. Naturally, There is no way to fight for world hegemony. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between us. He asked me: 'Are you interested in riding a horse and shooting a vulture to Beijing?' Tell me, how should I answer?"

Zhen Wuchen was silent for a long time, so that was what happened.

It seems that they were wrong from the beginning. They always believed that the Zhenguo Army came to rob Yanjing City, but the other party now clearly informed that the Zhenbei King was planning for the entire world.

They can't compare in terms of military strength, financial resources, and now they can't even compare in terms of vision. It's no wonder that Medicine Master Guo is so convinced.

Meeting such a young monster is indeed quite depressing...
