Chapter 769 You are sure to lose!
If Guo Zhili was impatient when facing Duan Xingchen because he wasted time, then when facing Guo Jian, he was really angry. After learning that the Tubo army had invaded the border, Guo Jian was first panicked and then asked him to make an idea, but in a flash he was invited out and said that it was a sudden fight in the army, and he left him there for a while. Just when he almost thought that something might change, Guo Jian came back in a furious manner, saying that he had gathered the generals and soldiers of Lintao Army, bowed and said that he needed him as an old general, and persuaded him to go to the Lintao Army's martial arts field.
This time, seeing that the troops had been rectified, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the troops left the city, they could be legitimately promoted to rescue the general. Whether Du Shiyi was captured and killed, or fortunately fled back from the battlefield, the Tubo army transit incident must be fully responsible, and this Longyou Jiedushi could not think of it as a
However, Guo Jian stood on the platform where the military parade was gathered, and suddenly said with a loud voice: "Master Du inspected the Chiling border marker, but unexpectedly, Tubo's soldiers and horses crossed the border and attacked. Such a traitorous act really ruined the peace between the two countries. Fortunately, General Wang Zhongsi led his troops to block the attack. Thousands of soldiers and horses passed by Tubo were wiped out, and the enemy general Mu Huoluo was captured alive."
This statement was a bolt from the blue for Guo Zhili. Seeing the soldiers of Lintao Army below, he didn't know how much effort it took to keep his face still, but his heart was filled with storms. Is this Guo Jian deliberately saying this to stabilize the morale of the army? Or is it true that Wang Zhongsi has such great ability to defend the enemy outside the country with just a few hundred people? It is impossible. Du Shiyi only brought half of the guards to travel, and Wang Zhongsi only brought dozens of personal guards to follow him. The troops of Lintao Army showed no sign of mobilization. Yes, it must be that Guo Jiansheng was afraid that the morale of the army would be shaken, so he deliberately lied about the military situation.
At this point, Guo Zhili can only use such reasons to comfort himself over and over again.
However, after Guo Jian loudly calmed the morale of the army, he ordered again: "From now on, change the commands every night and enter the state of war. There must be no slackness. Those who are ready to go to the warehouse to take the bows and arrows at any time will start counting the weapons and keeping them ready at any time. Well, it's getting late today. Everyone will prepare for it. At that time, he will listen to my order and go back to the barracks."
What? It just dispersed like this?
Guo Zhili couldn't believe his ears. However, as he watched the soldiers scatter, he finally couldn't help it. He hurriedly chased Guo Jian, but he stopped the person until he approached the convention hall. He stepped forward and grabbed Guo Jian's sleeve and said sternly: "Guo Jian, military and national affairs, how can you stop talking about the war reports coming from the front? It has to be carefully verified how many military and horses Wang Zhongsi could bring? Even if there were only a thousand soldiers and horses across the border of Tubo, how could he successfully block the enemy with those more than 300 people? What's more, General Du is the governor of Longyou and has not returned yet. You, the Lintao Army, should order all the troops to welcome him."
"How did my uncle know that Wang Zhongsi only has hundreds of soldiers around him? My uncle is no longer the chief general of the Lintao Army. The secrets in the army should not be revealed."
Guo Jian asked slowly until Guo Zhili finished his words. Seeing that Guo Zhili was choked and his face turned pale, he said calmly: "How many guards have Magistrate Du brought? This should be the secret matter of the General Administration of Shanzhou, which is the Longyou Jiedu Office. My uncle, as an idle person, should not know. As for whether I want to order the troops of the Lintao Army of Qi to welcome Magistrate Du, this was already told by Magistrate Du before his departure. If I don't have to go to welcome, how can I disobey Magistrate Du's order?"
Now, if things didn't know that this time, Guo Zhili would have lived for most of his life in vain. He tried his best to curb the horror in his heart, sneered and turned around and left. But after a few steps out, he only saw that the road in front of him was blocked tightly by several personal soldiers. Seeing this scene, he immediately shouted with a stern voice: "What are you thinking?"
"What do you mean?" Guo Jian strode behind Guo Zhili and said sinisterly, "Uncle, if you were to live a peaceful life at home, no one would be unable to get along with you, but you really have too much desire. Guo is not your Guo family, nor Guo Ying's Guo family. If you are implicated by the army of Shanzhou, how can you be worthy of the spirit of Marshal Guo and Guo Dalang in the sky, you don't have to think about it. The news I just announced in front of the soldiers of Lintao Army is real and there is no falsehood. If you lose, just live a peaceful life for a while."
Guo Zhili was shocked and angry, but before he could speak, Guo Jian was quick-witted and rushed to him, and hit his neck with a palm. Seeing the elderly Emperor Guo staring at him in disbelief, he turned his eyelids to the ground for a long time. He held Guo Zhili's body, and then he ordered his confidant guards with a stern expression: "Prepare a bowl of Ningshen soup for me, and if he wakes up, he will pour it down to him, so that he will not make trouble. I will be distracted."
"Abide by the general's order"
The two confidant guards hurriedly carried Guo Zhili down, while the other two quickly stepped forward and waited for Guo Jian's instructions.
"I just gathered together in the Lintao Army. I remember that Guo Yingmin, Guo Yingyun and Guo Yingmi were not here for some reason. I planned to catch them all in one go, but who knew that they had done such a big deal. They were still thinking of being free outside. You two immediately brought people to find these three for me." After these two trusted guards retreated, Guo Jian entered the conference hall. In this huge place, two rows of generals stood on the left and right, but at this moment, there were only seven or eight brigade commanders present, all of whom Guo Jian could truly trust in the Lintao Army.
However, Guo Jian still did not dare to rashly tell the truth about Guo Zhili and others' attempt to murder Du Shiyi. Du Shiyi only asked Xian Yu Zhongtong to tell him the truth after leaving Huangshui City, Shanzhou. He did not discuss further in advance, but only ordered him to clean up the aftermath. He did not think that he would come out of the Guo family. Even if Guo Zhili and others were taken down, Du Shiyi might still dislike him and even tried to demote him. However, since Du Shiyi knew about such news, he dared to bring only a little people to Chiling, which shows that he was quite sure that he did not dare to gamble about following Guo Zhili for such a thing, and eventually he would bear the consequences of the rebellion.
Therefore, he had to bet one bet on the new Longyou Jiedu, who was really good to him, and he was the only one who obeyed him.
"This time, General Du inspected the Chiling border marker, but there were spies in Huangshui City and Tubo people secretly communicated with each other. I was under General Du's secret order to investigate the matter, and you will come forward to obey the order."
As the generals were startled and bowed forward to obey the orders, Guo Jianshi was assigned in an orderly manner. He was not outstanding in fighting against Tubo, but he was very good at the actual personnel assignment, especially this meticulous deployment was more efficient. But for a while, from the city gate to the streets, to the governor's office in Shanzhou, and the Huangshui County Party, all the important points were arranged properly. This was because he had been actively waiting for Guo Zhili to lobby, and he never took major actions in order to avoid alarming the enemy. Otherwise, these arrangements would have been completely appropriate. As for the people who should be arrested, he didn't care whether Guo's family might have a further rebound.
According to what Xian Yu Zhongtong told him, Du Shiyi had already taken the businessman who leaked the news, and some people decided to be completely unable to escape this time.
All of them were arranged and sent out. When he was the only one left in the conference hall, Guo Jian leaned back and sat in the main seat relaxedly.
Until now, he still had no way to believe that since someone had sent out the news from Tubo, even if Du Shiyi brought Wang Zhongsi, his entourage would not exceed 300 at most. How did that battle fight?
There were two Zhenwu Army in the Tang Dynasty. One was located in Shuofang, which was built by Zhang Ren when he was willing to build the Sanshoujiang City. The capital was located in the East Shoujiang City. The other was Li Longji was very happy after learning that King Xin'an, Li Wei, had won the Shibao City and changed it to the Zhenwu Army. There were only 1,200 soldiers and horses in this Shibao City, but at this moment, there were only dozens of people, so naturally they did not show much crowding and cramping.
Li Xin, the envoy of Zhenwu Army and the general of Zhenwu Army, was born in a remote branch of the royal family. He was promoted by King Li Wei of Xin'an. He had a friendship with Wang Zhongsi and was also a cousin with Li Jian, the general of Jinwu Guard. Therefore, when Wang Zhongsi arrived first with Du Shiyi's secret order and discussed with him the strategy of intercepting Tubo troops, Li Xin, who was also a brave man, immediately chose to obey and entrust Shibao City to Pei Chun, the deputy general who was his life and death friend. He personally led 500 troops to assist Wang Zhongsi in ambushing. After success in one fell swoop, Wang Zhongsi led his troops to clean the battlefield. After he welcomed Du Shiyi into Shibao City, he was about to summon the generals to pay homage, but Du Shiyi stopped him.
"The head coach took risks in person, which is not a clever plan for military strategists. I had no choice but to do it. If I tell him widely, it would seem that this move would be more rash and there would be no need to make a big deal."
Since Du Shiyi said that, Li Xin always obeyed.
In fact, guarding Shibao City seems to be a long-lasting task, but if there is no war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, this place is far away from the Central Plains, and the hard work is too small, thankless; but if the Tang Dynasty and Tubo restart the war, it is located at the forefront of Shanzhou, and once there is an offensive, it will definitely be thunderous. If you are not careful, you may not only lose or lose, but also throw away this important town together. Because most of the prime ministers in the court are very taboo about Xin'an King Li Wei, even the emperor values Li Wei while guarding against this famous general who comes from the royal family, so most of the people recommended by Li Wei are the same as him. It seems to be worthy of use, but in fact it is not awkward situation.
