Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 55 Illegal Resistance to Money
  Since Tan Zhen succeeded to the throne of Xuanfu, there have been frequent troubles in the Yan region. The Jin people have become more and more eager to demand the return of Zhang Jue from the Song people. Moreover, Zhang Jue should have been beheaded and given to the Jin people in November, but for some reasons, the imperial court The decision had been made, but Yan Di didn't know what they were doing, and they still didn't hand over Zhang Jue.

And this also led to the fact that the Jin people who could have handed over the two states of Wushuo before the end of the year were not given anything this time. They not only asked for Zhang Jue, but also demanded compensation from the lion of the Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Dynasty, originally sent troops to Pingzhou. Zhang Jue was forced to retreat by an ambush and was unable to return to Pingzhou. He finally fled to Yanjing. Then Zhang Dungu led his troops to defend the city. Due to successive defeats, Zhang Dungu opened the city. The city surrendered, but soon someone in the city killed the Jin envoy and forced Zhang Dungu to serve as the capital commander, so Wanyan Zongwang marched again to attack.

Originally, Pingzhou City could not be captured at this time in history, but because Zhang Jue's head had not yet been delivered, Wanyan Zongwang, in order to frighten the Song people, personally led his army to attack Pingzhou City, destroyed the city and killed Zhang Jue. The three heads of Dun Gu, Zhang Jue's mother and his wife were sent to Yanjing as a warning.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also warned that if he continued not to surrender, he would lead his army to attack Yanjing.

"Tell me what to do."

Wang Anzhong slammed the table, but looked at Pharmacist Guo. Zhan Du, who was sitting beside him, no longer tried to hide his secrets, and simply said straight to the point: "General Guo, Zhang Jue has been hiding in your army. You refused in every possible way before. If you refuse to accept it, why are you unwilling to hand it over now no matter what?

You know, this is an order from the imperial court. You are already a general of the Song Dynasty. Now is not the time for you to act arrogant. Listen to me and hand it over honestly, so as not to make things difficult for everyone."

He deliberately did not finish what he said, but the hidden meaning could be clearly heard by everyone present.

"How can I avoid it?" Medicine Master Guo smiled instead of getting angry and did not continue to talk about the matter. His cold eyes swept over everyone's faces, "This matter should be planned by you, the envoy of Yanshan Road, and Tan Xuanfu. Cheng, why are you talking to me now? Is it me, Pharmacist Guo, who wants to cause these bad things?
  On weekdays, you all want good food and drink, beautiful maids, and money and treasures to play with. Which of these things are not my filial piety? That's all, but you can't do good things and don't think about me now." At this point, Yaoshi Guo suddenly stood up and said, "Zhang Jue is a surrendered general, and everyone in Guo Changsheng's army has been surrendered. Could it be that When the Jin people ask for us, can the Song Dynasty court hand us over as well? "

These words were almost equivalent to Pharmacist Guo pointing at Wang Anzhong and the others and scolding them.

Wang Anzhong's face suddenly darkened. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "General Guo is a little extreme. Zhang Jue, a mere Zhang Jue, is naturally not as good as General Guo and the Chang Sheng Army. Handing him over is not only for the consideration of the imperial court, but also for the sake of Yan." The earth is at peace.”

"Speaking of Yandi, others don't know it, and the common people don't know it. Don't you, Wang Anzhong, know what's going on? In the Northern Expedition to Yanjing and the defeat of Xiao Qian, which battle was not won by my commander-in-chief and the victorious army? " Pharmacist Guo slapped the table and shouted:
  "Commander, I shed my blood for the Song Dynasty! But what did you do to us? You blocked the Evervictorious Army's money and food and used it as a threat. Which general in the Evervictorious Army has not been exploited and bullied by you? What's more? What's more, they have to sacrifice their wives and daughters, why haven't they shed blood for the Song Dynasty? Why should they be treated like this by you!"

Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du looked at each other and frowned slightly.

Did you do it?

He knew his own affairs, and Wang Anzhong felt that he just mentioned it to a few people below, which was not too much. But looking at Guo Yaoshi's sad and angry look now, it was probably because the other officials did not do anything about personnel, right?

Can't blame me.

He coughed and said coldly: "General Guo, please be patient. I will investigate the matters you mentioned and give you an answer! But now, we are talking about Zhang Jue. It's not the same thing at all. The Jin people have already said that if Zhang Jue is not handed over before the end of the year, they will fight all the way to Yanjing City!
  Can you bear this responsibility? "

Zhan Du has been watching. He is a very well-known person in the city, because if we have to say who is the mastermind of Zhang Jue's incident, apart from Tan Zhen, Zhan Du can even be ranked ahead of Wang Anzhong.

But now, it was Wang Anzhong who had to face off with Guo Yaoshi intensely, while Zhan Du watched coldly from the side, getting angry from time to time.

"That's the same thing!" Pharmacist Guo raised his finger and pointed outside, with a look of sadness and anger on his face, "I said before that I couldn't let Zhang Jue in, but you said yes, you said it's okay, because this is the territory of the Song Dynasty, so I just told the people below to reassure them; now most of the soldiers know that Zhang Jue is in the city, but you want to return him to the Jin people again. If you don't do anything shameless, you are How can I explain to the soldiers if they want to disgrace me?

You hand over Zhang Jue easily, but you can still hand over us in the future. Isn't this the same thing? "

Seeing that the two of them were quarreling more and more fiercely, Zhan Du sighed and tried to persuade them: "Oh, it's not that big of a deal. We are all ministers of the Song Dynasty. Let's sit down and have a good talk, so that we won't get into a fight."

"talk?"

Pharmacist Guo's spirit seemed to be completely broken by Zhan Du's words. He laughed miserably, "I know there are not so many right and wrong in the world, but how can this matter be eased? If Zhang Jue is handed over, the morale of the army will be dispersed. What do you think? Promise that the court will not hand me over in the future?"

He pointed to Wang Anzhong, "Can you guarantee it?"

"I can guarantee it, but Zhang Jue cannot be discussed today and must be handed over to me!"

Wang Anzhong also stood up, shook his official robe, and a dignified and upright attitude came to his face, which made people convinced. Pharmacist Guo smiled and opened his mouth, "Ahem. Bah!"

"I told you that the army's morale will be dispersed, and you still have to hand over some damn people. The Ever Victorious Army has been dispersed. Are you going to fight with the Liao and Jin people in person?"

Pharmacist Guo looked at Wang Anzhong, who dared to be angry but dared not speak, and felt that the depression in his heart for many days had disappeared. When he saw Zhan Du still sitting aside, with a look of gloating in his eyes, he did not let him go, and even aimed at him. He took a mouthful of thick phlegm and went out.

"Presumptuous! Are you trying to rebel? Song and Jin have already negotiated peace. If you don't accept it, Medicine Master Guo, then if you have the ability, have a fight with the Jin. Humph, now that Song and Jin have reconciled, how can you alone break the alliance? !
  If you dare to refuse today, then you are betraying. You have betrayed the Liao Kingdom, and now you want to betray the Song Dynasty. Let's see if anyone is willing to take in you, a lost dog! "

Today's events have completely torn the faces of both sides. Pharmacist Guo stood in the lobby, and for a while the Song officials around him began to criticize and ridicule.

"It's you who want to rebel!" Yaoshi Guo turned around and walked out the door, shouting at the soldiers and officials who gathered outside: "We have shed blood for the Song Dynasty and have been protected by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Now, Wang Anzhong, the governor of Yanshan Road, has an affair with Golden Dog and wants to hand Zhang Jue over. Do you know that Zhang Jue and we are both surrendered generals? If he is handed over easily, it means that we will also It can be handed over easily!

If Wang Anzhong dares to do this today, he will have to plan to disperse our ever-victorious army, ruin the future of all of us, and leave us all dead without a burial place.

We are human beings, we have shed blood for the Song Dynasty, we are not his fucking goods!

Wang Anzhong is a thief with wild ambitions. He is the spy of the golden dog. How can we not repay the favor we have received from the court? Come on, tie up all the officials inside and send orders to all places. From today on, all states and counties in Yan will be subject to my commander's orders. Those who disobey will be fined by the Jin people. Every place will immediately block the city and gather soldiers and horses. Get ready to support Yanjing! "

Pharmacist Guo drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed it toward the sky. The bright blade reflected his calm and confident face.

"For the Song Dynasty!"
