Chapter Thirteen Two Months
The opportunity to meet with Pharmacist Guo came much earlier than Xiao Yan expected.
It was just dark and dinner was just over. I saw a large group of soldiers coming from Changsheng, isolating the two envoys' offices, which were truly and false, and looked like they were facing a great enemy.
These people were led by Guo Dalang himself, and he also personally entered the mansion and invited Xiao Yan and Guo Yaoshi for a while. No one could follow him, and the little mute could only watch Xiao Yan with Guo Dalang out at the entrance of the inner courtyard.
The torches outside the door made a slight crackling and bursting sound. The spear tips in the hands of Changsheng soldiers reflected, and they also flew with the flames and kept shaking, which was straight into people's hearts.
No one spoke in the field. Even Guo Dalang, who came over at night, was obviously very concerned about this matter, had a stern face and said nothing. The strong man in brocade clothes who had come with Guo Rong during the day, led a small team of followers, and watched everything in front of him not far away.
Surrounded by the silent face of the Yan land man a thousand years ago. Their army is also the newly established army of the Liao Kingdom. Its foundation is too shallow and can survive until now. Later, it was all driven by Guo Yaoshi and they fought for their lives. In such a chaotic world, the Jurchens in the north, the Song Dynasty in the south, and the Northern Liao Dynasty in the north were in chaos. After leaving the city, there were walls outside, and the living environment was extremely dangerous. In it, who wouldn't care where the group was ahead?
These two houses are opposite to each other. One is the Song Dynasty, which has been established for a hundred years and competed with the Liao Kingdom for the first time. The other is the Jurchens who rise up with the generals and have a sharp military force and are unparalleled in the world. Compared with these two giants, a mere victory army is really insignificant. Who to choose is the most difficult choice!
From the silent faces of the soldiers around him and the nervous faces of the officers of the Changsheng Army, Xiao Yan thought he had understood their thoughts.
As soon as Xiao Yan went out, everyone's eyes came silently. Looking at Xiao Yan's light fur and his fur and his sleeves were floating out. Under the fire, Xiao Yan, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, really looked like a quiet envoy to the country.
Guo Dalang personally brought the horse to Xiao Yan and nodded slightly, saying, "I am so anxious, please get on the horse. Please forgive me... Please."
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but turned over and rode on the horse, and looked at the house in the north. There seemed to be someone peeping in the two-story building there, and it seemed that he could feel a few fierce eyes projecting on him. With Guo Rong, the fierce girl, I guess these Jurchen envoys knew that they had an envoy who lived in the Song Dynasty opposite them. The Jurchens and Song are now known as allies, but they probably didn't really take it seriously. The Song Dynasty regards them as vulgar barbarians. The Jurchens have always regarded strength as their respect. It was just when they were ambitious that the Song Dynasty was defeated in a battle in Baigouhe in history. Among the Jurchen nobles, they had the ambition to regard Song as their prey. The two countries had agreed to take Juyongguan as the boundary, and the Jurchens never took the agreed boundary seriously again. After Liaodong was slightly pacified, they immediately rushed to the south!
OK, I've already driven the ducks on the shelves anyway, so I'll fight you to the end!
Xiao Yan cursed in his heart twice. Guo Dalang led the way forward, and dozens of knights hugged the two of them and walked slowly. The torches raised around moved and illuminated the walls of Zhuo County not far away, which seemed dead in the dark night.
"Who is this general?"
Xiao Yan suddenly asked.
The strong man in brocade clothes who had followed Guo Rong once stood not far away, staring at everything in front of him coldly. It seemed that he was about to go to the Jurchen envoy as soon as Xiao Yan left and explained.
Guo Dalang took a look, and there was a cold smile on his lips, and he whispered: "This is the confidant brother of Lord Duguan. General Zhen, Zhen, is the most brave in the victory army. The eldest lady rode horses and shot archers, and they all learned from the Five Generals... This time, the Jurchen envoy suddenly said that he came to the south. It is said that it was the first confidant of the Five Generals, who was the one who was in charge of the reception...... My victory army was in Liaodong, and how many deaths had been made by the Jurchens! The Five Generals......Hi!"
Xiao Yan said lightly: "The Jurchens are brave and can't blame General Zhen for taking a high look... I don't know how to think about Xiaodu's care about it? I don't know how to think about it if it is adults, but how to think about it if it is done?"
Guo Dalang turned around suddenly: "I am Han'er! If the Song army had not been defeated so badly in Baigouhe, how could he hesitate and look after so long? The longer the Song army stayed in Xiongzhou, the more he would be concerned about the Jurchens! The adults would be in charge of this meeting, but I would like to say that the Song Dynasty was about to go north again!"
Guo Dalang acted so fiercely that he no longer looked coldly at Xiao Yan on the way. Thinking of his ability to arrange Xiao Yan and the others opposite the Jurchen envoy and use this method to ventilate it first, Guo Dalang seemed to be really infatuated with Da Song. I really don’t know why……
For some reason, Xiao Yan was generous with this heroic young man who looked generous and smiled and always muttered in his heart when he spoke. Although Guo Dalu seemed to be able to rely on the power of his power, he was even more the son of Guo Pharmacist, but Xiao Yan, who had been in the society for so long, always felt that this guy was very cunning and didn't know what idea he was going to make...
Guo Dalu looked at Xiao Yan seriously and whispered: "………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
His voice was low, but his tone was urgent and he seemed extremely sincere.
Xiao Yan just nodded and said nothing.
He believed most of what Guo Dalang said. Guo Yaoshi was originally a large army that broke out from the sea of blood, and his generals were almost the same. The ever-winning army was not a tribal army of the Liao Kingdom. When the Liao Kingdom was in a turmoil, their idea was to find a stronger backer. In this world, whoever can fight whoever is the reason.
There was no prejudice between the Song and the Jurchens, such generals as the Conquering Army. Han'er and others were even more jokes. They have been in the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years, so how could there be so many ideas about families and countries? In history, before the Song army was defeated in Baigou, when they were ready for the Northern Expedition, Guo Yaoshi jumped up and down to find ways to contact the Song side. However, Zhao Liangsi, who was in charge of the North at that time, always disliked these Conquering troops. He believed that they were surrendering and rebelling, and were wild and difficult to tame and could not be relied on. Tong Guan surrendered, when he was as strong as a cow, he did not think about contacting his surname Guo.
After the defeat in Baigou, Guo Yaoshi quickly became cold again. Zhao Liangsi couldn't find a way to contact him. Yelu Dashi blocked the front of Xiongzhou. Tong Guan surrendered, and it was because the messenger was brave enough to pass through Yelu Dashi? Guo Yaoshi wandered and looked at him for two months. After Yelu Dashi lost power due to the Northern Liao power struggle, he was placed under house arrest by Empress Xiao. The Liao army retreated north on the front line, and the Song army got this unexpected opportunity to go north again, and Guo Yaoshi officially surrendered.
But it had been delayed for two months. The Jurchens had already crossed Juyong Pass. In order to seize the Jurchens, at the instigation of Guo Yaoshi, the Song army did not accumulate enough materials on the front line and the subsequent army did not follow up. Yang Keshi's troops and Guo Yaoshi's troops rushed to Yanjing and took a dangerous plan. As a result, although they seized Yanjing for a while, they were quickly defeated. After another defeat, Tong Guan's courage was completely lost. He lowered his face and begged the Jurchens to recapture Yanjing and spend money to buy it himself...
It was the hesitation of the ever-winning army in the past two months that almost determined the success or failure of Tong Guan's Northern Expedition! If Guo Yaoshi could surrender two months earlier, the Song army could quickly push to Lugou River, and there was no need to compete with the Jurchens to recapture Yanjing. They would fight steadily. They might be able to seize Yanjing and defend it, and they might be able to slightly curb the rise of the Jurchens!
Since agreeing to Yue Fei, Xiao Yan's mind was this idea. But in front of the heads of the Changsheng Army, which was the first to see the style of the Fengsheng Army, how could he change history and fight for these two months? If it were a real messenger, maybe there would be some way, and he was a fake that was purely in his bones!
Guo Dalang may not be doubting his quality, so why did he change his attitude and express his desire to face him? What is he betting on this? Can he really rely on him to rely on him?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiao Yan's mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts came one after another. Mingmie was unsure, and his mind hurt. A solution appeared in his mind vaguely, but he was so dangerous that he didn't dare to think deeply. Guo Dalang showed his kindness like this, and he forgot to respond. Looking at Xiao Yan's attitude, he didn't say much, and he just led the way in front of him with a calm face.
Zhuo County is deserted in the night, and every household is closed, like a dead city. When passing by, you can hear a silent crying and sighing among the concealed refugee sheds.
Above the city gate, the light of a few lanterns was dim, and the sound of patrolers' bangzi was spread far in the night. The soldiers of the Changsheng Army were alerted and lined up from the city gate to Guo Yaoshi's official office. Each street entrance was separated by wooden fences, and someone was passing by, even Guo Dalang had to check the waist sign.
The solemn and murderous intention was reflected in every part of this summer night.
When he arrived at Guo Yaoshi's official office, his guard was even more severe. His personal soldiers were covered with helmets and armor, and were guarded neatly. The butter torches were inserted on the wall, illuminating the light everywhere. Each personal soldiers' leather armor and iron pieces on their bodies, and the weapons in their hands were reflecting cold light, as if they were going to give Xiao Yan, the Song envoy.
At this point, Xiao Yan was not very scared. Taking this attitude means that Yaoshi Guo could not fully confirm whether he was a Song envoy, and he still had a little attention. With this position, everyone can talk about it...
Several red-robed officers, wearing iron helmets, with high pheasant feathers inserted into the helmet, strode out with a stern face and reach out to sow the guest. Guo Dalang also took a step back and asked Xiao Yan to dismount to go first. Xiao Yan shook his sleeves and followed without saying a word.
The footsteps of several people echoed over the official hall, walking straight into the hall. The hall was empty, with butter candles inserted on the wall, making the candles cry flowing.
In the center of the hall, a tall middle-aged man stood with his hands facing the door, dragging a long shadow on the ground.
When he heard Xiao Yan and the others arrived, the tall middle-aged man had already turned around suddenly, and his eyes looked at Xiao Yan with cold light, "Well, Zhao Liangsi, why didn't he see my messenger at the beginning? Now I'm sending you to come here again. Is it a bad thing to bully me, Guo's long sword in his hand?"
