Guo Hengchuan searched for his son in the pile of dead bodies over and over again. Even the burned corpses were not spared. The guards did not dare to dissuade him, so they could only follow his white-haired general and look at him.
Play with the dead with your hands.
Xiao Huoer sat on the horse without saying a word, but his face was as gloomy as water. With an inexplicable smile on the corner of Wu Gudu's mouth, he also sat on the horse and watched Guo Hengchuan rummaging through the pile of dead bodies alone.
At the foot of Wugudu's war horse, a fallen corpse still maintained the appearance of his deathbed, with two hands stretched forward helplessly, and an armor-piercing awl was still firmly nailed to his back.
Xiao Huo'er spurred the horse to move a few steps, pulled out the armor-piercing awl with his backhand, and at the same time turned the body over. Looking at the young face, Xiao Huo'er slapped the horse's butt hard.
With a whip, he led his guards and ran straight to the camp.
Wu Gudu watched Xiao Huo'er leave. When he saw Guo Hengchuan coming to his horse, he opened his mouth and said, "Your second son also surrendered to the Song people?"
Guo Hengchuan raised his head, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in front of Wu Gudu. Wu Gudu couldn't help but avoid his eyes.
"The Guo family only has sons who died in battle, and no weaklings who surrendered!"
"What did Guo Ruhai say?"
"I will crush him to ashes with my own hands!"
Wu Gudu looked around at the angry Guo clan members and nodded: "I hope so. I only hope that Second Young Master Guo will not follow in the footsteps of his elder brother. I also heard that your second son slept with his sister-in-law."
?”
"Shameless!"
Guo Hengchuan was so angry that he raised his hand and pulled Wu Gudu off his horse. He raised his fist and hit Wu Gudu in the face. Wu Gudu laughed loudly and said: "If you fight well, you can do it if you have the guts."
I'll beat him to death!"
Guo Hengchuan's fist stopped in mid-air, and he sat slumped on the wasteland, saying quietly: "Guo Hengchuan actually has no long-term wishes. He only hopes that the Guo clan can live a safe and happy life as obedient people in the Liao Kingdom, so these
Over the years, the Guo clan has started every war, and today the Guo clan can be found in the ranks of the Daliao Army.
In order to obtain meritorious service and gain His Majesty's praise, the Guo family has lost hundreds of people in battle over the years. Can't such sacrifices make you have some respect for the Guo family?
From yesterday's conversation, I discovered that Yun Zheng is setting up a vicious trap. This trap is probably a divorce plan. Although I still can't figure out why Guo Ruhai rebelled against the enemy, from a strategic point of view, we must pay attention to it.
"
Wu Gudu turned over and sat up, wiped the blood on his mouth and nose, jumped on his horse and left in a hurry.
Guo Hengchuan looked at the black bone poison in the distance, sighed, and looked at the mountain col in the distance, sitting there alone. After a long time, he called a guard and said: "Go to Yanmen Pass and tell Yun Zheng that Guo Hengchuan is willing to pay."
The price is to take back my son’s body.”
The leader of the personal guards whispered: "If you do this, you will incur the revenge of that despicable villain Wu Gudu. The commander-in-chief will not allow you to meet the Song people privately like this, and your situation will be even more difficult."
Guo Hengchuan waved his hand and said: "The grudge has been established. No matter what I do, I will never please the commander-in-chief. With the defeat of Shenwu City and last night's battle, someone has to stand up and take responsibility.
The head is neither too big nor too small, just right.
His Majesty repeatedly ordered the Xijing troops to attack Yanmen Pass, but Xiao Huo'er did not have the courage to fight Yun Zheng, so he only dared to block the wasteland and prevent Yun Zheng from advancing westward. Little did he know that this was Xiao Huo'er's biggest failure.
The reason why Yunzheng has done so many things and even attacked Shenwu City brazenly is actually a sign of guilty conscience. His lack of troops is his biggest weakness. In order to prevent us from attacking Yanmen Pass, he had no choice but to personally lead his troops to attack us."
"But Yanmen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the most powerful pass in the world. If we want to capture Yanmen Pass, we will pay a very heavy price."
Guo Hengchuan patted the guard leader on the shoulder and said: "As long as there is a war, people will die. Victory is actually the result of piles of corpses. Send someone to tell Yunzheng that as long as he returns my son's body, I will shut up.
Let him easily survive until the war in Hebei is over."
Hearing that Guo Hengchuan's envoy had arrived at Yanmen Pass, Yun Zheng thought about it for a moment and then sent an order for the envoy to enter the pass. He was also curious about what Guo Hengchuan wanted to say.
Whether it is a conspiracy or a plan, there will always be a day when it is exposed. Under the conditions that the pattern has been formed, one party has already admitted defeat. This is the time for everyone to make clear the terms and conditions. No matter what conditions Guo Hengchuan proposes, it will not matter to Yun Zheng.
It was a victory, but Yun Zheng thought he could get more benefits.
After hearing the envoy's words relayed by Guo Hengchuan, Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The Guo brothers are actually not dead, they are all alive and well. I very much hope that General Guo can come and reunite with his family. Only a kind father and a filial son can achieve a good result.
"
The messenger said word for word: "My general wanted me to bring back the bodies of the two young masters, but he did not force them to live."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "The price of the transaction is not appropriate. I need to give General Guo two people or two corpses here, but General Guo just made an empty promise. This is very unfair to me, but General Guo is willing to work with me."
I negotiated, and this is good news. Messenger, take my message to General Guo, saying that I am very willing to negotiate with him, but I just need him to add a new price."
"General Yun, please allow me to see the bodies of the two young masters. You also understand that my general has paid a heavy price since I entered Yanmen Pass."
Guo Hengchuan's envoy was very conscious of the envoy and put forward his own conditions without being humble or overbearing.
Yun Zheng likes this kind of scholar-type talent who has experienced both the culture of the Song Dynasty and the culture of the Liao Kingdom. The culture of the Song Dynasty has injected elegance into him, while the rough behavior of the Liao Kingdom has filled him with courage.
When two cultures are perfectly embodied in one person, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty, such people are called talents.
"General Guo gave me too little, but asked for too much. Whether it is Guo Ruhai or Guo Rushan, their hands are stained with the blood of my people and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. I am a general of the Song Dynasty. I died for
Vengeance for the people of the Song Dynasty is my bounden duty.
For many years, the Liao people have been ruthlessly beating grass and grain, killing my border residents, plundering my people, and raping my sisters. The evil deeds they have caused are too numerous to describe. Messenger, now it's time to repay the debt, what do you think?"
"General Yun, my general promised to remain silent in the army. Aren't you satisfied with this? Your lack of troops is your biggest shortcoming. If you had a hundred thousand soldiers under your command, my general said he would retreat immediately, but
You now have less than 50,000 soldiers. These people not only have to guard against the 350,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom, but also the 80,000 soldiers of the Xixia Kingdom's Shenwu Army in the left wing. The time and place are favorable and you only have the advantage of the location.
.
If the general insists on refusing to return the bodies of the two young masters, my general will have no choice but to fight to the death. It will be a fair fight with real guns and knives, and the general’s wisdom will have no use. Under the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, only force will rule the roost.
That’s all.”
Li Chang suddenly interjected: "I have something unclear, please ask the envoy to clarify my confusion!"
The Liao envoy bowed and said, "If Supervisor Li has any questions, feel free to ask. As long as I can tell you, I will tell you everything."
Li Chang chuckled and said: "My commander-in-chief has repeatedly emphasized that the two young masters of the Guo family are living well in the world. If the envoy does not believe it, I will call them in now. I just don't understand why General Guo has repeatedly stated that as long as
Corpse.
I've tasted tiger poison but still won't eat its seeds. Why does General Guo hate his son so much that he won't die?"
The messenger smiled miserably and said: "Such human tragedies are all due to General Yun. One eldest son has put our general in a difficult situation. The capture of Second Young Master Guo has made our general's situation even worse. Even if the two young masters come back alive,
They would also end up with their body and head missing. If General Yun hadn't done it, they would still end up with a whole body."
Yun Zheng smiled and said nothing, Li Changzheng stroked his beard and waved, and the door of the lobby was opened. Guo Ruhai stepped into the door boldly, clasped his fists and saluted Yun Zheng and Li Chang: "I have seen the commander-in-chief. I have seen him."
join the army!"
Li Chang smiled and said: "General Guo, do you recognize this envoy?"
Guo Ruhai glanced at the envoy and said loudly: "This person is my cousin Guo Rusong. He is a rare talent with both civil and military skills in our Guo family. The supervisors must not let him leave Yanmen Pass. If he goes back, he will definitely be our Great Song Dynasty."
A powerful enemy!"
Guo Rusong shook his head in pain and said: "Brother, do you really not care about the life and death of my Guo family for your own selfishness? I have personally verified that Xiao Haier is your biological son, and my sister-in-law has nothing to do with her unfaithfulness.
You went back home before taking office as Linya in Shenwucheng. Have you forgotten about this? We brothers had a good time drinking and congratulating our eldest brother and sister-in-law on their long-lasting dream. Not long after you left, there was news from my sister-in-law.
The good news came, and my uncle drank three glasses of wine because of this, saying that my eldest son, the Guo family, finally has a legitimate grandson. Now that things have happened, why do you still humiliate my Guo family like this? "
Guo Ruhai said coldly: "We have different paths and we don't want to work together!"
After saying this, he actually saluted Yun Zheng and then turned around and left. No matter how Guo Rusong called him, he never looked back.
Li Chang said with a smile: "Envoy, you have also seen that it is General Guo who does not want to go back. Unless we force him to stay, my commander-in-chief sympathizes with his subordinates and kills his loyal subordinates with his own hands. This kind of thing cannot be done by our commander-in-chief.
.'
Guo Rusong said with a smile: "There is nothing that cannot be done in this world. The reason why we cannot succeed is just that the price we paid is not high enough and the benefits you get are not big enough."
Li Chang laughed loudly and said: "General Guo has spoken the truth of the world. In this case, please give General Guo a new condition that allows the commander and I to ignore the lives of our subordinates. If the price is enough, even if it is necessary
It’s not like I can’t negotiate with my head!” (To be continued)
