Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 22: in those days

Back in Xinzhou, King Wei summoned the generals overnight. Shi Yanchao was injured in many places, so he hurried to find a doctor for treatment when he came back, but did not get involved; Xiang Xun valued Guo Shao very much, and regardless of his low position, he deliberately took him to see Wang Wei.

In the battle of Xinkou, according to Guo Shao's opinion, Wei Wang Fu Yanqing should bear a lot of responsibility for the four thousand soldiers lost in the battle.

But not only did Fu Yanqing have long been named kings, his daughters will soon be named queens, brothers and sons are all generals in charge, and the Fu family is basically a big gate... Guo Shao thinks that generals of Xiang Xun’s level would not say anything. nice words. He intends to participate in the summon and does not say anything, unless there is a question that must be answered.

At the first sight of Fu Yanqing, Guo Shao remembered Zhang Jianxiong's words: Wei Wang is old.

Fu Yanqing's hair and beard are all gray, and her eyes are a little loose. His expression looks very tired. It may be the result of older people who can't stay up all night. There are many wrinkles on his face and age spots on the cheekbones, but when you look closely, his face and facial features are very correct... Maybe he was a capable man when he was young, but at least now, Fu Yanqing’s face is no longer seen When it comes to inspiring things, some are just dull.

Lamenting that spring flowers are easy to wither and youth is easy to die, it is not only the woman who hurts the spring and the autumn. Occasionally, Guo Shao once thought that when he is old, he may no longer have an exciting mentality. He has already fallen into the soil and years are running out. What else can he strive for for a long time?

In addition to Xiang Xun, there were several generals. Guo Shao didn't know him, but it was speculated that Guo Congyi, Bai Chongchan, Sang Gui and others might be among them, because he mentioned to Xun the generals stationed in Xinzhou before. But Guo Shao didn't know who was who.

Soon the people present also noticed Guo Shao in the face. This question was finally asked by Fu Yanqing, pointing to Guo Shao and asking: "Who is he?"

This question made Guo Shao feel that the world has a sense of vicissitudes... The young man named Guo Shao who really belongs to this era in his memory, in Yanzhou many years ago, was hungry and cold, and it was the old man who accepted his daughter in front of him. He begged and ordered his subordinates to rescue the young man. Of course Fu Yanqing couldn't remember that incident and that person.

Guo Shao replied: "If King Huiwei, the final name will be Guo Shao."

Xiang Xun said, "Wang Wei, he was the one who shot Zhang Yuanhui to death in the battle of Gaoping."

"Oh!" Fu Yanqing nodded, then said again, "I think back then, the old man was able to open ten crossbows..."

After listening to Guo Shao, he thought that Fu Yanqing had a high-tech motor tied to his arm, or he was a powerful Transformer, his arm could be used as a jack, and the catapult was used as a crossbow.

However, the shooting of Zhang Yuanhui seemed indeed very famous. Because it is very difficult to do in itself, this fierce fighter may be wearing two or three layers of heavy armor. It is difficult to shoot through the bow and arrow and cause fatal injuries to him, unless it is shot in a small area such as the face; It's really hard to hit that kind of place, otherwise Shi Yanchao would have died long ago, and he wouldn't have staged a grass man borrowed arrow. Even Guo Shao felt that he accounted for part of his luck. Even after practicing thousands of times, he still couldn't guarantee that he would hit the bullseye every time.

Xiang Xun said again: "This time we were able to rescue the historical forward, Guo Lang also made great contributions... First, our team tried desperately to make a siege, but at that time the historical forward was furious and fell into the enemy's formation. If we give him three more points I am afraid that the forces will be exhausted and the spirit will be frustrated. In the end, there is nothing I can do. Guo Lang told me a truth, saying that to save a person who has fallen into the water, he must wait until he is still struggling before he can be saved, otherwise the savior must also be pushed in. We went into the water. So we waited for the forwards to be dispatched when the forces of the historical front were exhausted. Most of the Liao army soldiers were tough. It took some time before the forwards were seriously injured."

Fu Yanqing said: "Fortunately, in time."

Xiang Xun praised him: "I thought Guo Lang was able to seize the opportunity. If he hadn't listened to him today, the historical forward would have been trapped again and again. How can our army rescue him again and again? When finally saving the historical forward, our team It has become the end of the 樯橹, and it is thanks to Guo Shao's courageous help that he barely breaks through the Liao formation."

Guo Shaodao: "Just because the general's subordinates are brave, the general dare not take credit."

Xiang Xun shook his head disapprovingly and said, "You are brave and you don't fight for the first place. This is what I admire about you. But I noticed that Guo Lang can do it on time and save the key points. If there is no Guo Lang behind today, Your subordinates have died in battle several times, how can you be brave?"

"To praise the general, I dare not be a general." Guo Shao is relatively modest today. One is that because all the generals are present, it is inconvenient to behave too much; the other is to come up with a way to save Shi Yanchao and let Shi Yanchao give him a kiss. The soldier was broken and clean, and he became a hedgehog and almost died... After Shi Yanchao knew this, and the people present, would he really thank him? It's hard to say.

Fu Yanqing listened to the two with great interest, and then said, "I will return to Jinyang tomorrow."

Guo Shao was stunned when he heard it, and he could not help but listen in silence.

"This..." The face of the general next to him became ugly.

Fu Yanqing turned to look at the ugly military commander and said, "Sang Gui, your people can stay and guard Xinzhou."

Na Sanggui was a military commander of the Northern Han Dynasty. He was in Xinzhou and later surrendered to the Zhou army.

Fu Yanqing looked back around again: "What do you think?"

No one answered, neither agreed nor agreed, this awkward silence itself is a kind of euphemistic objection.

Fu Yanqing said: "Shi Yanchao was badly injured, and his fine horse was damaged. Our army suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight the Liao army anymore. Defeating Xinzhou, so many people and horses were not able to eat enough food and could not play an important role. Shou Xinzhou. Therefore, the old man decided to return to Jinyang for the time being, and wait for the officials to decide."

Several generals had no choice but to take their orders.

...

So Guo Shao walked back to Jinyang with Xiang Xun's remaining troops. After a trip to Xinzhou, three brothers were killed in a battle; but I always felt that there was nothing meaningful. The Liao army was neither repulsed nor blocked, but only saved Shi Yanchao's life... but Shi Yanchao had not He was sent out to death with a thin army, so why bother to save him?

The siege of Jinyang City has temporarily ceased, and the Zhou army is besieging but not attacking, and is watching. Guo Shao remembered the "ant attachment" a few days ago. I am afraid that Zhou Jun's siege tactics of climbing walls without brain are not very easy to use. The casualties must be large... but it seems that there are not many other ways, like digging tunnels. Such magic tricks, all conceivable methods have been used in perennial wars, and the defenders also know how to guard against them, and they can't play the role of conspiracy at all.

After returning to Jinyang, Xiang Xunbian patted his chest and said that he would fulfill the promise he had made before sending troops to Xinzhou, and managed to take Guo Shao to meet the emperor, so that the emperor could reward him for his merits. Between Guo Shao's thankful words, he mentioned his plan to see Zhang Yongde first.

Zhang Yongde used to take care of himself, and he is a powerful general of the Forbidden Army. It would be great if he could meet him first.

Xiang Xun was suddenly surprised, but he did not expect that Guo Shao and Zhang Yongde would still be in contact. Guo Shao thought he would ask, and he seemed more sincere about how to answer... But Xiang Xun didn't ask, Quandang didn't know.

Xiang Xun only talked about some recent things about Zhang Yongde, saying that Zhang Yongde is currently hot in front of the new emperor.

At the time of the Gaoping battle, Fan Aineng and He Hui, the foot cavalry masters of the right army, took the lead to escape...It was in front of the Xiaodi Army where Guo Shao was. The cavalry fleeed as soon as they touched, and the infantry scattered. Later, Zhou Jun reversed defeat and pursued the Northern Han Army, and the two men spread false news on the road.

Of course the emperor was very angry. After the Battle of Gaoping, he wanted to settle the accounts and kill the two men in order to impersonate you, but he was hesitant (when Guo Shao listened to Xiangxun's account, he guessed that Chai Rong still did not fully control the army at that time, for fear of killing After the general, other generals had a sorrowful resistance. At this time, Zhang Yongde, a commander in front of the palace and a figure in the real power faction of the Forbidden Army, supported the emperor in a timely manner and strongly demanded that these two generals be beheaded.

With Zhang Yongde's firm support, the emperor immediately did what he wanted to do. Not only did he cut down Fan Aineng and He Hui, but he also killed more than 70 generals who were unhappy with him... and cursed those who were killed in public. The military commander said that they "think of me as a strange thing and want to sell it to Liu Chong, lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, for a good price", which means treason. Who will die?

Zhang Yongde was immediately appreciated by the new emperor.

Many generals have problems. They are either greedy for money or lust, or drunk and beat the soldiers, and some have reputations for "injustice" or bloodthirsty like Shi Yanchao... But it is difficult to find Zhang Yongde, who holds the power. There are obvious shortcomings.
