Chapter 38 Never seen such a brazen person!
A newly established camp suddenly appeared in the territory of Daming Prefecture, west of the Yellow River and south of the Yongji Canal.
Although this camp is not as hard as the Song army camp, it is also deep in ditch and high in walls, and is set up tightly and sturdy. In the camp, a tall and large tower was built, and many large and small tents were built. In the center of the camp, vehicles were used to surround a large circle, and more than ten large tents and a temporary stable were surrounded. Although it was just a temporary camp, it was also arranged in an orderly manner.
The soldiers patrolling the camp were also strict and orderly, with infantry arranged in rows, wearing full armor, commanding and restraining orders, and were meticulous. Although the long-distance cavalry entering and leaving the camp came and went like the wind, the queues were not chaotic at all. Inside and outside the camp, the spirit of long-term elite soldiers was everywhere.
In the center of this camp, a red and black military flag of the Great Jin Kingdom was hung high, with two military horn flags, and two generals recognized the flags. The two military horn flags were stabbed with Chinese characters "Eternal Victory Army" and "Nanjing Road Han Army" respectively. On the two generals, who were erected side by side, were stabbed with eldest sons of "Eternal Victory Army Guo" and "Zhishou Yuanshu Liu" respectively.
This camp was originally established by a 10,000 army led by Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong!
These 10,000 troops were nominally divided into the Changsheng Army and the Nanjing Han Army, but the Nanjing Han Army of the Jin Dynasty was actually divided from Guo Yaoshi's ever-winning army. Speaking of which, Zhao Ji, the official family, was really good to Guo Yaoshi and the Changsheng Army! With the support of the Song Dynasty court and the territory of Yanshan Prefecture, the number of Changsheng Army quickly expanded from the original 8,000 to 50,000, and there were as many as 300,000 rural soldiers in the entire Yanshan Prefecture.
Before Guo Yaoshi rebelled against the Song Dynasty, many civil officials of the Song Dynasty thought that Guo Yaoshi had self-respecting and wanted to be An Lushan, so they all made suggestions to cut Guo Yaoshi's power. Zhao Ji wanted Guo Yaoshi to be the King of Yan and guard Yanshan Mansion for the rest of the world... Later generations exonerated Guo Yaoshi, saying that because Zhang Jue in Pingzhou was betrayed by the Song Dynasty, the fox was so sad that Guo Yaoshi was so sad that he was so sad. Guo Yaoshi had 350,000 troops, of which 50,000 of them were elite soldiers, and he also had a solid castle like Yanjing, which was nothing like Zhang Jue.
If we refer to the situation of the Taiyuan Defense War, the only three or four thousand victories defended a small Taiyuan City (the Taiyuan City of the Song Dynasty was not the one passed down by the Tang Dynasty, but a small town built later) for more than 250 days. Guo Yaoshi, who had 350,000 troops and had Jiancheng of Yanjing, really wanted to defend it, the battle of Yanshan Prefecture would inevitably turn into a war of soldiers and food. As long as the Jin soldiers who were besieged in the city could not obtain enough soldiers and food from Yanshan Prefecture, it was only a matter of time before the defeat was defeated.
But Guo Yaoshi was not good at the King of Yan of the Song Dynasty, and turned around and knelt down on the Jin people. But how could the Jin people believe him as a slave of the three surnames? So his territory is gone now, and the Jin people also brought Liu Yanzong, the patriarch of the top Han family of the Liao Kingdom, out to divide Guo Yaoshi's military power.
The Han people in Liao and the Han people in Song were different. They were still engaged in family politics, including four major wealthy families including Han, Zhao, Ma, and Liu. Among them, the Ma family lived in Wulu Mountain, western Liaoning for generations. They had a weaker influence in Yanjing City than the other three, and the remaining three were Youzhou rich families, with great influence.
Among them, the Han family, that is, Han Deyi, their family had too close relationship with the Khitans, and the Jin people had to guard against them. The Zhao family was a transnational noble, and their ancestors were the surrendered families of the Five Dynasties, Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou. Both of these fathers and sons surrendered to the Liao Kingdom after Shi Jingtang ceded Yan Yun. Later, Zhao Yanshou followed the Liao lord into the Central Plains, and when he ran away, he left a son named Zhao Kuangzan. Later, Zhao Kuangzan surrendered to the Later Han, Later Zhou, Great Song (if the Later Tang and Khitans were included, they were definitely five ministers), and also became a founding hero of the Song Dynasty and was named Duke Wei... So the Zhao family in Youzhou was the Song Dynasty, and there was a share on both sides of the Liao Dynasty, so the Jin Kingdom certainly did not dare to believe them too much.
Liu Yanzong was the governor of Lulong during the Tang Dynasty. After Liu Shun, his family had been prominent in Yan for three or four hundred years. He was the oldest of the four Han families in Liao. He had developed into a mixed relationship, far from being comparable to Guo Yaoshi, an outsider. Most of the soldiers of Guo Yaoshi's 50,000-Yongsheng Army were Han people in Yan, that is, Han people in Nanjing, Liao. They have lived for generations under the rule of Han, Zhao, Ma, Liu and other aristocratic families, and have long been accustomed to obeying these aristocratic families.
So as soon as Liu Yanzong took action, he immediately divided half of Guo Yaoshi's army, and most of the Yan people in the remaining half of the army were devoted to the Old Liu family, leaving only more than 8,000 families from Liaodong and western Liaoning. In the original history, these 8,000 always-winning troops were massacred by the Bodhisattva Crown Prince Wanyan Zongwang not long after the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty! Guo Yaoshi and Guo Anguo and the father and son lived for a few more years in fear. Guo Yaoshi may have died of illness in the end, while Guo Anguo survived until Wanyan Liang came to power before he was killed. It was considered that he had lived long enough.
Now that he has handed over the territory, handed over half of the army, and served as the vanguard of the south for Dajin, he naturally cannot get the trust of the Jin people... He came to Daming Mansion for a trip, and asked Liu Yanzong to follow him, and left his only son Guo Anguo as the charity.
Now the Jin people still need to use Guo Yaoshi like this. If they really want to use it, they will not be able to kill the donkey?
Thinking of this, Guo Yaoshi and his best friends, such as Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou, Liu Shunren, Zhang Linghui and others, were all a little regretful... If I had known that today, I would rather be a vassal state of the Song Dynasty!
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world!
Because Da Song was about to finish, he seemed to have no chance to go back.
"Oh, I thought that Zhao Kai, the Prince of Yun, would be stronger than the Song Dynasty's official family and the useless prince, but I didn't expect it to be a useless thing! It seems that the Song Dynasty is beyond help. It has been the case for about ten years since the Great Jin Dynasty unified the world..."
The person who sighed for the Song Dynasty in a big tent was Guo Yaoshi who rebelled against Song Guijin not long ago!
He is now having a close conversation with his daughter Guo Tiannu, and both father and daughter seem to be worried.
"Dad, do you think Prince Yun's method can't be achieved?" Guo Tiannu's cheeks turned slightly red when she mentioned the word Prince Yun.
"Hmph!" Guo Yaoshi snorted, "It's nothing! As the prince of the Song Dynasty and the Marshal of the Hebei Army, he did not want to serve the country and kill the enemy, but he was determined to sell his country and seek honor. He has never seen such a shameless person before!"
Is that true? Guo Tiannu glanced at her father and thought to herself: Aren’t you as shameless as Prince Yun?
"Can't he even think of Shi Jingtang?" Guo Tiannu still didn't give up...
"Where can he compare with Shi Jingtang?" Guo Yaoshi said, "Shi Jingtang was a number of top-notch generals under Li Siyuan's command, and even Li Cunxu praised him for his bravery. What is Zhao Kai? He has no ability and is as timid as a mouse, so he wants to beg for mercy from the Jin people to become the Guan family... Even if he becomes a Jin people's puppet and will not last long."
Guo Tiannu whispered: "Even if you have ten years of emperor, it's good..."
"You..." Guo Yaoshi heard his daughter say this, and he already knew that she had been moved by Zhao Kai's thoughts. So he lowered his face and asked, "What about ten years later? Do you go to die with him?"
"My daughter may not die in ten years. Even if she dies, she will finally enjoy the supreme glory and wealth..." Guo Tiannu said coldly, "But my father's current situation is still in a good situation, I don't know how many years he can live!"
"What do you say?" Guo Yaoshi's face turned pale.
Guo Tiannu said: "Didn't my father notice that the butcher knife of the gold man is getting closer and closer to our necks? If we can help Prince Yun become the son emperor of the Jin man, the Jin man has to support us. Looking at Prince Yun, he may be able to accommodate us for ten or twenty years...
If there was no Emperor Yun, the son of Prince Yun, the Song Dynasty would be over for at most three to five years, and then our family would have to hide all the birds and bows!"
