Episode 66 Pharmacist Guo, call for help! Ask for a monthly pass)
Really fight?
Among the Zhong Shishi, Yao Gu was of course afraid of the Jin thieves. They followed Tong Guan to attack Yan Yun in the north and were beaten by the remaining soldiers of the Liao Kingdom led by Yelu Dashi! Yelu Dashi met the Jin soldiers, but he didn't even have the strength to resist!
From this we can conclude that the Western Army is not as good as the Khitan, and the Khitan is not as good as the Jurchens. If we want to fight against the Jurchens who are far better than the Khitan, wouldn’t it be self-destructive?
Seeing the two old men stammering and refusing to commit suicide, Zhao Kai was not angry, but smiled with a prank and said to the two: "I have ordered people to prepare the camp for the troops led by you and the two of you. You two will settle down first, and then go to Baojin City to participate in the military convention. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the Shuixin Palace to welcome the two of you.
Xiyan (Yao Pingzhong), you should take the two old lieutenants to settle down first."
In the past two days, Zhao Kai has moved to Baojin Tower and the Water Heart Hall in Jinming Pool with the Queen Zhu Fengying, Concubine Pan Cailian, Concubine Ximen and his exclusive school beauties to live in the past two days. In order to urge the army of Jinming City to train according to the 997 standards... Although this 997 is also a temporary cram, it is better to hug it than not?
At the same time, Zhao Kai also established the Marine Senate and the Marine Hanlin Division in Baojin City (the outer city of Baojin Building) downstairs. The Senate Division helped Zhao Kai handle the daily military affairs of the personal camp and formulate combat and training plans.
The Hanlin Department of the Marching Army was managed by Zhao Kai's confidant, the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy and the Chongzheng Hall storyteller Chen Ji. The task was to assist Zhao Kai in handling the government affairs and issue edicts such as promotion and demotion of officials. These edicts drafted by the Hanlin Department of the Marching Army belonged to the Central Imperial, that is, the edicts issued directly by the two provinces without going through the Central Imperial. The Central Imperial was issued a lot. Although there was a suspicion of undermining the prime ministers of the two governments, when Zhao Kai left Beijing to go to war, it was still very feasible to use the Central Imperial to remotely control the government affairs and handle the priorities of the army when Zhao Kai left Beijing to fight.
Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu settled down for a while, and then asked the generals below to take their troops to camp and camp, and then followed Yao Pingzhong to Baojin City.
Baojin City is located in the north of the original Qionglin Garden, which is a circle of city walls outside Baojin Tower. There are also many houses and pavilions built between the city walls and Baojin Tower, which are almost all occupied by the Marine Senate, the Marine Hanlin Department and the Palace Department who is responsible for taking care of Zhao Kai's life in the army.
The north of Baojin City is Jinmingchi. Through an arch bridge, you can enter the Water Heart Hall. The relatively closed Water Heart Hall and the towering Baojin Tower are now occupied by Zhao Kai's harem group.
The place where Zhao Kai held the military discussion was in the lobby of the Senate Office in Baojin City (the lobby of the Hanlin Office of the Marching Office can be used to summon the prime minister). When Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong arrived, Zhao Kai had already arrived first and was standing in front of a huge wooden picture platform, talking to Cao Li, Zhong Shidao, Zong Ze, Yuwen Xuzhong, Zhang Shuye and others.
Seeing that Mr. Zhong, Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong came in and saluted him together, Zhao Kai smiled and called them forward.
"No gifts, no gifts, come and take a look... This wooden picture was specially made by the marching senatorial department. The situation in front of the enemy can be clearly seen at a glance!"
Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu and Yao Pingzhong came forward according to the order and stood on the edge of the map.
Yao Pingzhong had a part-time job as a marching senator, so he also participated in the work of the marching senatorial department. He knew how to view the map of "Zhao Kaishi", so he said to Yao Gu and Zhong Shizhong: "The directions on this map are north, south, west, and east. In order to facilitate identification of the direction, the blank space on the map is also marked southeast, west and northwest.
In addition, the red arrows and circles on the picture indicate the official army, and the black arrows and circles are the golden thieves. The arrows indicate the soldiers and horses that are marching and the direction of the march, and the circles indicate the soldiers and horses that are garrisoned..."
Yao Gu and Zhong Shi were both long-term generals who had been using military force for many years. I don’t know how many wooden pictures I saw. Now I can understand after Yao Pingzhong’s explanation.
Zhong Shizhong first asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to send troops from Kaifeng Prefecture to attack Liyang and surround Wei and save Zhao?"
Zhao Kai nodded.
Yao Gu, an old general who was as old as Master Zhong, shook his head gently, "Master Guo is brave and good at fighting, and is no less than the elite Khitans, so you should not ignore it!"
The brave and good at fighting is the complete version of Guo Yaoshi, rather than Guo Yaoshi who was cut off most of the elite by the Jurchens and was pushed in front as cannon fodder.
Although during this period, the Jin soldiers suffered setbacks in the direction of Jingdong Road and made unfavorable progress, they returned some of the Changsheng Army that had been cut from Guo Yaoshi, and transferred some Han troops from Nanjing Road (Yanshanfu Road) to his command. However, Guo Yaoshi, who suffered great losses from the Jin thieves, has become disloyal with the Jin people and has no longer had the courage of the past. Since the Battle of Sanshan Fuqiao, he has shrunk in Liyang, Junxian, Linhe, and Neihuang, and dared not move around.
Since Yaoshi Guo did not dare to move around, Zhao Kai certainly had to treat him as the "Wei" in "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".
Therefore, Zhao Kai’s plan to rescue Li Gang started from entering Liyang north!
According to the plan, Zhao Kai will lead the Zong Shizhong, Yao Gu's troops, and the strong men drawn from the Jinmingcheng King's army, gathered a 100,000 army and headed straight for Li Yang, and acted as the deputy to surround Guo Yaoshi and annihilate him.
Of course, Zhao Kai cannot really annihilate Guo Yaoshi, the "best opponent"... If he really annihilates him, no one will accompany him to play the opponent in the future. In this way, it will be difficult for Zhao Kai to mobilize the Jin soldiers.
"There is nothing great about Guo Yaoshi. I have defeated him once at Sanshan Floating Bridge!" Zhao Kai said confidently, "Last time, I defeated him with only 20,000 troops. This time, I plan to lead 100,000 troops to fight. In addition, the 20,000 troops in Sanshan Floating Bridge camp, a total of 120,000 troops. Are you still afraid that you can't win?"
"This..." Zhong Shizhong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Yaoshi Guo would go east without fighting and cross the Yellow River, so that he could set up defenses along the Yellow River and stabilize the rear of the Jin thieves."
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Who Yaoshi Guo doesn't cross the Yellow River in the east...he will only shout for help in Liyang City!"
This sentence made the ministers and generals present who were not sure of the truth were confused - why didn't Guo Yaoshi run away?
Liyang has no gold and silver mountains. Isn’t Kaide Mansion safer to retreat to Daming Mansion on the east bank of the Yellow River?
Moreover, the Jin army's attack on Kaifeng Prefecture was obviously frustrated. Even if Li Gang of Cheng clan was eliminated, they were unable to attack the impoverished Kaifeng Prefecture.
So after the end of the Battle of Chengshi, we went north to capture Daming Prefecture, and then fought north along the Yellow River. We set out a passage to Yanshan Prefecture Road so that we can gather the army again in the future and face Kaifeng Prefecture. This is the best strategy!
Now, Liyang is stuck like this, which seems to have guarded the danger north of the Yellow River, but because the Sanshan floating bridge is in the hands of the Song army, Liyang City cannot block the Song army going north at all. Moreover, more than 100 miles west of Liyang, there is a Biankou floating bridge, which is at the end of the Bian River and at the foot of Guangwu Mountain. The Song army can completely cross Hebei from there, and there is no need to walk the Sanshan floating bridge.
When Zhao Kai saw the ministers in the lobby all looked suspicious, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yaoshi Guo will not leave... I will send troops to the Sanshan Floating Bridge in three days!"
Then he looked at Yao Gu and Zhong Shizhong and asked with a smile: "Old Grand Marshal Yao, Zhong Shizhong, who would like to go north with me? Who would want to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor and the camp envoy?"
Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu looked at each other, and Yao Gu said, "Your Majesty, the minister Ping Zhong is already in the army, which is enough to replace the old minister. The old minister is willing to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture."
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Then Kaifeng Defense will be a blessing for Old Taiwei Yao."
......
Of course, Yaoshi Guo was willing to leave, so why didn’t he refuse? But Zhao Kai refused to let him leave!
Just when Zhao Kai asked Yao Gu, who was willing to go north and who was willing to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture, the secret envoy Gao Jingang, who was sent by him, had already arrived at the Wanhuyi yamen of Guo Yaoshi in Liyang County.
"My elder sister is good now, and food, clothing and expenses are the standards of talent. There is nothing short of everything. Zhao Guan family has kept her around... It is said that my elder sister lives a very comfortable and happy life! It's just not good at all, and she has no status. She is still a slave yet!"
Dong Jingang and his brother Dong Luohan are Guo Tiannu's old subordinates. With the help of Guo Tiannu's pillow, they were promoted quickly. The two are now an ambassador! And each of them got a "school beauties" and gave them the first one.
Judging from their treatment, you can tell that Guo Tiannu, the "slave", is Zhao Kai's celebrity...
When Guo Yaoshi heard that his daughter was living a "moisturized" life, he also knew about Dong Jingang and Dong Luohan's treatment, and he felt even more regretful.
If he had known this, what would he vote for? Wouldn't he tied his daughter up early and sent it to Prince Yun's Mansion?
Dong Jingang said at this time: "Everyone cares, this elder sister will accompany the official family to Liyang soon, and you father and daughter will meet."
"What? Come to Li Yang?" Guo Yaoshi was stunned, "He, he wants to hit Li Yang?"
Dong Jingang smiled and said, "Don't panic... It's not really a fight, it's a siege of Wei to save Zhao, and to save Li Gang! The Zhao family sent troops three days later, and you asked the Jin thieves five days later, so you said that the Song Dynasty official commandered the army and led 300,000 troops to Liyang!"
"How many?" Guo Yaoshi widened his eyes.
Dong Jingang stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "300,000!"
"Really, there are so many?" Guo Pharmacist asked again.
Dong Jingang smiled and shook his head, "How is that possible? Isn't this a soldier who is willing to cheat? In fact, it's only 150,000... But there are still 50,000 on the Sanshan Floating Bridge, with a total of 200,000! Is it enough?"
Yaoshi Guo frowned, "If there was Taiwei Gao, it might be enough... Without Taiwei Gao, it might not be enough!"
