Chapter 572 I am not ungrateful, I want to serve the country with all my loyalty
For several days, Pharmacist Guo felt very restless and had trouble sleeping and eating.
Zhao Heshou secretly sneaked out of Baozhou City for some time after his own orders. However, after he led more than ten cavalrymen to go west to find the Liao army to report the news, it seemed that everything was lost. It is said that Zhao Heshou was also a few confidants who were close to Guo Yaoshi.
One of the more sophisticated and alert among them, the Liao army has gradually taken control of the southeastern Liaoning area, and the rebels in the surrounding prefectures are no longer as rampant as they used to be. Zhao Heshou and his party should not be able to live or die like this.
corpse.
Is it possible...
However, Wen Huanzhang, Yan Qing and others in the city behaved as before when dealing with him, and they did not seem to be aware of his secret plot. Because the Liao army had sent scouts to Baozhou some time ago, and Wen Huanzhang and others
Intentionally taking advantage of the intensification of civil strife in Liaodong, he planned to expand his power to Xuanzhou, Dingzhou and other places, which were border military towns of the Liao Kingdom like Baozhou and were not currently controlled by the Liao government. Therefore, Pharmacist Guo took advantage of the opportunity to expand into Baozhou.
In the name of the surrounding military and defensive areas, Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou and others were ordered to temporarily leave the Baozhou camp and station themselves at Wubi on the bank of the Yalu River. In this way, even if Zhao Heshou temporarily left Baozhou, he would not be noticed by the leaders of other tribes.
But Zhao Heshou was after all a general who commanded a battalion of soldiers in the resentful army. If the delay continued, other leaders in the city would sooner or later discover that he had left Baozhou without authorization and had not been heard from for a month. Guo Yaoshi knew that he
Although he could prevaricate it, if such a strange thing happened to the people under his command, he would definitely be a little vigilant and wary of him, Pharmacist Guo and his cronies.
What's more, this feeling that left Pharmacist Guo confused and made him increasingly restless.
Simply lead all the cronies with Zhen Wuchen, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and others to leave Baozhou and join the Liao army? Guo Pharmacist thought again: But it is also possible that Zhao Heshou really had some accidents on the way, and Wen Huanzhang, Yan Qing, Yi
La Cheng and the leaders of Jishan's army may not know that I plan to occupy Baozhou. If I just withdraw like this, wouldn't all my hard work in the past be in vain?
Furthermore, there are only about 700 soldiers in the army that can secretly assist him. Just like Xiao Tang, who is in charge behind the scenes, he must be careful not to expose his identity to the Liao government. Now Guo Pharmacist has to fight with
Before getting in touch with the Liao army, you must be careful about your plans. Although many of the remaining battalions of the resentful army may be recruited by him, after all, there are many people and the current situation is such that the remaining Han people in Liaodong have a strong army.
Not a single one can be used.
With only these soldiers and horses to defect to the Liao government, I, Medicine Master Guo, am determined not to be promoted or put into any important position by Yelu Chun.
Medical Master Guo was originally a person who dared to take some risks in pursuit of fame and fortune, so he chose to stay quietly and make long-term plans when Zhao Heshou's disappearance really couldn't be concealed.
until one day.
Guo Yaoshi, who originally planned to send another confidant to report the news to the Liao army, suddenly received the report. It was said that when his Qingqi was patrolling the surrounding mountains and lush forests, he found a man who was acting strangely, and he did not seem to be a local in Baozhou.
The outpost suspected that this person was a spy sent by some kind of rebel party or bandit, so they went into the mountain and captured him. He was already taken to Yaoshi Guo to await his death.
After hearing the words, Medical Master Guo immediately pondered for a moment, leaving only a few confidants around him in the room, and ordered the military officers to escort the man for questioning. After a while, two military officers escorted the man whose hands were tied behind his back.
The man walked into the room and held him down on his knees.
Look, even though the man was dressed as a Han man, as soon as he was forced to kneel down, he slapped his neck hard, struggled and cursed in Khitan: "You gang of thieves who are making trouble, you are so courageous!
Those fellows who dare to liaise with Xiao Tang of the Song Dynasty take advantage of the civil strife in Liaodong to occupy our territory of the Liao Dynasty. When the army arrives, I will teach you rebels to die without a burial place!"
Hearing this, Pharmacist Guo's expression immediately changed. He quickly stood up, pointed at the man and shouted, "Surely your meticulous work was really sent by the Liao Dynasty's official army? How did you know the identity of the Lord of Baozhou? Tell me
Speak clearly and I will spare your life and not kill you!"
The man spat again when he heard the words, and sneered and cursed: "What can you do if you kill me? His Highness the King of Wei got a secret report that there were people from Song Dynasty colluding with the rebels in Liaodong and secretly occupying Baozhou to plot evil.
I ordered Yelu Foding to be the general and command 10,000 troops, and also sent 3,000 soldiers from far away to serve as the vanguard to attack you rebels. Am I the only one who came to spy on Baozhou's situation?
You traitors who betrayed the country and defected to the Song Dynasty will turn your flesh and bones into clay to pay for the sins of traitors like you!"
Zhao Heshou had indeed delivered my letter to the Liao army, but was there an accident on the way back?
After having such an idea in Guo Yaoshi's mind, he looked around suspiciously at the Liao army spy who kept shouting and scolding, and thought in his mind: Wen Huanzhang, Yan Xiaoyi and even Xiao Tang were transferred from Song Dynasty.
The Jishan Army has not seen any movement at the moment. It is said that they are not aware of my plan to cooperate with the Liao Dynasty's official army internally and externally...
If Yelu Chun really read my letter and sent troops, but without Zhao Heshou's guidance, it would not be surprising to send spies eager to find out the details of Baozhou. But after all, what I am planning is important at every step, and now what is the matter?
Don't you tell me that this person is Yelu Chun whom I sent my cronies to notify, and that he is dormant here to support the Liao army?
On the one hand, Pharmacist Guo thought that if he could make great contributions to the Liao Kingdom, not only would he be able to obtain official title and fame at his fingertips, but with the current chaotic situation in Liaodong, he could also take advantage of this opportunity to become famous and achieve his ambitions and long-cherished wishes; on the other hand, Guo Yaoshi thought
The pharmacist also thought that judging from the current situation, he really could not wait any longer. Since the Liao army was ready to send troops and horses to eliminate the secretly autonomous forces in Baozhou, Pidao and other places, sooner or later he would
He must reveal his identity to the Liao army, and then plan how to respond internally and externally, and the Jishan Army, the resentful army Dong Xiaoxiao and others who were guarding Baozhou were killed by surprise...
After Pharmacist Guo questioned the man carefully, he saw that although he kept yelling and cursing, the information he revealed did not reveal any flaws. After some hesitation, Pharmacist Guo made up his mind.
Then he sighed deeply and said to the Liao army spies: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei only sent 13,000 troops to conquer the rebels who occupied Baozhou. The number of troops and horses is somewhat insufficient..."
The Liao Army spy was slightly startled, but before he could say anything, Pharmacist Guo had already untied him personally. He bowed his head towards the man and said "righteously": "I, Pharmacist Guo, also know how to repay.
How could a member of the country dare to bear the burden of the Liao court? It was just that the eastern part of Liaodong was in chaos, and Guo was deceived by traitors for a while, and he was so intimidated that he committed a serious crime by mistake. Although I was able to live peacefully in Baozhou for a while, even though I was just a person.
I am a commoner man who has left his hometown in Liaodong, but my long-cherished wish in life is to serve the Liao Dynasty to the best of my ability! He sent his relatives to see the King of Wei, and His Highness Haojiao learned that there were people from the Song Dynasty who colluded with the party to cause trouble in the Liao Dynasty. It was Guo Guo.
So! Since the heavenly soldiers are coming to wipe out the evil people, I should do my best to help and serve the country with all my loyalty!"
