The gathering drum was beaten in the county military camp, and several captains and more than a dozen brigade commanders rushed to the general's tent.
The lights were brightly lit in the big tent, but the situation inside made all the generals stunned.
A strange young man was sitting in the commander's tent. Colonel Feng Yuan and several soldiers were standing aside. Everyone looked at each other. Captain Xu Yan asked loudly: "Colonel Feng, who is he?"
Guo Song opened the wooden box and took out two human heads and put them on the table. All the generals were in an uproar. The two heads turned out to be the governor Zhang Qiong and the captain Mo Qunshan.
Guo Song said slowly: "I am the supervisor Guo Yushi sent by the emperor. I was ordered by the emperor to secretly inspect Xichuan. The governor Zhang Qiong and the captain Mo Qunshan were suspected of rebellion and have been executed by me. Do you want to follow them?
"
Everyone was panicked, and Xu Yan asked again: "Your Excellency said that he is a supervisory censor, what evidence is there?"
Guo Song took out the gold medal and placed it in front of him. Do you know these words?
‘It’s like seeing my face’
Xu Yan's face suddenly turned pale, and she knelt down on one knee, "I don't know how to humble my position, please forgive me, Censor Guo!"
Xu Yan knew a few people, and the others were illiterate, but when they saw Xu Yan kneeling down, they quickly followed suit.
Next to him, Feng Yuan secretly admired the brand that Mr. Guo got from nowhere. It really worked and actually suppressed these soldiers.
Guo Song nodded, "It's good that you don't want to rebel. I paid a secret visit to Xichuan on the orders of the Emperor, but I have never commanded an army. But I know that people die for money and birds die for food. You just need to listen to me.
I will give all Zhang Qiong’s money to the brothers!”
All the generals were extremely pleasantly surprised. If they were intimidated by the fact that the other party was the supervisory censor, then they were extremely excited that the other party generously distributed the money of the governor Zhang Qiong to them.
Guo Song said coldly: "After you take the money, you must obey my orders absolutely. If you are half-hearted, be careful with your heads.
Guo Song drew out his black sword and swept past. As fast as lightning, the helmet tassels on everyone's heads fell down one after another. Everyone touched the helmet tassels on their heads, and they were all shocked. If they were beheaded, they would probably not survive. The generals
He knelt down again and clasped his fists, "I am willing to listen to your orders!"
Guo Song used both soft and hard tactics to suppress this group of generals, but he understood that only when they saw free money would these generals truly serve him.
He immediately ordered: "Gather all the soldiers and go dig the money bank at Zhang Qiong's house!"
Everyone went to gather soldiers one after another. After a while, a thousand soldiers were gathered together. Under the leadership of Guo Song, they marched towards Zhang Qiong's Mansion.
Seizing this opportunity, Xu Yan asked Feng Yuandao in a low voice: "Who is this Guo Yushi?"
Feng Yuan had a close personal relationship with him, and he lowered his voice and said, "I only know that he is Xue Changshi's prospective son-in-law. He came from the capital, and he was the one who rescued Xue Changshi's family today."
Xu Yan suddenly realized that he had also heard that a man with very strong martial arts rescued Xue Changshi's family, and it turned out to be this man.
"Then do you think his emperor's gold medal is real?" Xu Yan asked again.
Feng Yuan sighed and said: "Do you think Xue Changshi would allow his son-in-law to use a fake emperor's gold medal to coax people?"
Xu Yan nodded slowly. Feng Yuan's words convinced him that if it was a fake gold medal, the first person to be unlucky would be none other than Xue Changshi.
In a moment, a thousand soldiers surrounded Zhang's house. They drove Zhang Qiong's family into the servant's room and carried large boxes out of the house. These were Zhang Qiong's wife's silks, silks, and various jewelry. They were real wealth.
Not here, everyone knows that Governor Zhang likes silver but dislikes copper coins.
Soon, the soldiers found the entrance to the underground money vault in the back garden. Guo Song opened the iron door with a copper key. The soldiers swarmed in and carried out dozens of large boxes filled with silver. Guo Song initially estimated that,
There are at least fifty thousand taels of silver, as well as a lot of gold and jewelry.
Guo Song pointed to the silver, gold and various properties and smiled and said: "I will give all these to everyone, I won't take any money."
At this moment, this army was completely bribed by Guo Song.
.........
Yang Zilin's march into Chengdu was not successful. Wei Gao received an express report from Guo Song and hurriedly reported that Cui Kuan was staying in Jiannan. Cui Kuan was Cui Ning's brother. Cui Ning went to the court to report on his duties. He was afraid that other states would rebel, so he left his brother behind.
Cui Kuan guarded Chengdu.
Cui Kuan got the news and closed the city gate in time, and 20,000 soldiers from Jiannan Military Mansion went to the city to defend it.
At the same time, Cui Kuan sent a pigeon letter to inform the court of the rebellion by Yang Zilin, the governor of Luzhou.
Cui Ning, the governor of Jiannan, is currently not in Bashu, but reporting on his duties at the court. Cui Kuan does not know the details of Yang Zilin's military strength, but he does not dare to attack rashly.
Early the next morning, Yang Zilin led 10,000 troops to the gates of Chengdu. It was already past the time to open the city, but the city gate was still closed. The soldiers knew that their troops had been informed in advance by the opponent, which really made the soldiers
They were extremely disappointed.
Yang Zilin's mood was very complicated. His rebellion was originally a show, cooperating with Cui Ning to go to Beijing, but he just wanted to make it fake.
He originally wanted to take advantage of Cui Ning's trust in him, catch Chengdu Prefecture off guard, and capture Chengdu in one fell swoop. But now that his wishful plan fell apart, he was frustrated and felt an indescribable sense of loss. Such a good opportunity was taken away from him.
I missed it myself.
He did not carry any siege weapons, and it was obviously unrealistic to attack the city, but he was a little unwilling to evacuate Chengdu like this.
At this time, his deputy general Li Congyu advised: "Your Majesty, the Jiannan Army has 20,000 troops stationed in Chengdu. Once they learn about our true strength, they will definitely attack the city. It will be detrimental to us at that time. I would like to advise you.
We should retreat to Luzhou first. We are familiar with the terrain of Luzhou and can fight the opponent. We should avoid disadvantages here."
Yang Zilin sighed, "I'm afraid that after the troops withdraw, many waiting states will be disappointed with us and change their stance."
"But being defeated by the Jiannan Army made everyone lose confidence. It would be better to conserve our strength and defeat the Jiannan Army in Luzhou. That would be the opportunity to unite people's hearts."
Yang Zilin thought about it and it made sense. Since the fake show failed, it was necessary to conserve strength. As long as there was an army in hand, there was no need to worry about not having a chance.
"Okay! Send the order for the entire army to withdraw southward!"
.........
At noon the next day, 10,000 troops returned to Yang'an County. Their morale was high when they went there, but in the end they were rejected. They didn't even dare to attack the city and then returned defeated. This really affected their morale. There were many complaints among the soldiers, and everyone was counting on them.
He entered Chengdu to make a fortune, but now his dream of getting rich was shattered, but he had to bear the reputation of being a rebel. How could the soldiers have no ideas?
Soldiers in Xichuan are generally naughty and have their own ideas. Either they can eat well and drink well and get their military salary easily every month, or they can hope to make a fortune from the war and ask them to obey military orders and value military honor like the northern army. That's almost impossible.
impossible.
So after returning from Chengdu, many soldiers were extremely disappointed and took advantage of the cover of night to secretly escape. Seven to eight hundred people escaped overnight.
Yang Zilin was angry and anxious. He was now eager to open the official warehouse in Jianzhou, reward the soldiers, and restore the morale of the army.
When I arrived at Yang'an County, I found the city gate wide open. A general, holding a spear, stood alone in front of the city gate. I didn't know what it meant?
Just listen to the general shouting: "If you want to enter the city gate, you need to be better than the gun in my hand. Who dares to come up to challenge me? Li Congyu dares to come forward?"
The army was in an uproar, and Yang Zilin was also stunned. Who is this person? Has something happened in Yang'an County?
The general shouted again: "Why are you like a turtle with its head shrinking? Are Li Congyu's eggs still there?"
Li Congyu was furious and said sternly: "The first battalion comes with me and kills this man!"
He hit the sword with a wave of his hand and led five hundred soldiers to charge forward.
Yang Zilin felt something was wrong, but he was hesitant and did not stop Li Congyu.
The general immediately turned out to be Guo Song. He had picked up his bow and looked coldly at the silver-helmeted general who was rushing towards him. I didn't know if this man was Li Congyu, but killing him would be enough to shake the opponent's military morale.
When the opponent was still a hundred steps away, he drew his bow like a full moon and shot two arrows in succession. The two arrows were one after the other, extremely fast. When Guo Song saw the opponent's long sword pointed to the left, he knew that he was the right-hand general.
, will inevitably dodge to the left, so his second arrow is slightly to the left.
Li Congyu shouted, "Good luck." He swung his sword to strike at the arrow, "Dang!" The arrow hit the surface of the sword, causing his arms to go numb. He was taken aback. It was too late to strike the second arrow, so he instinctively struck at the arrow.
Flashing to the left, 'Pfft!' The arrow hit the front door.
Li Congyu screamed, turned over and fell from his horse, and died tragically on the spot.
Guo Song shot an arrow as an order, and Feng Yuan shouted from the top of the city: "Shoot the arrow!"
The thousand soldiers who were hiding on the top of the city appeared one after another and fired arrows at the five hundred soldiers. The five hundred soldiers were unable to dodge and fell to the ground one after another. The soldiers behind them turned around and fled.
With a thought in his mind, Guo Song galloped towards Yang Zilin. Yang Zilin watched Li Congyu being shot and killed. Just when she was panicking, she saw the other general rushing towards him with a gun, as fast as flying.
Yang Zilin was frightened, so she turned her horse's head and fled. His escape immediately brought other soldiers with him. Ten thousand troops followed him and fled in panic. They were defeated like a mountain.
The soldiers on the top of the city cheered and cheered loudly. This was a scene they had never seen before. The general single-handedly killed ten thousand people and ran for their lives.
Many years later, this wonderful scene would always be talked about in Bashu teahouses. The storyteller was shocked and said with joy: "That year, a magic soldier descended from the sky. At the foot of Yang'an City in Jianzhou...
..”
Guo Song became famous in the battle between Bashu and Bashu, but he himself regretted that if he had known that the opponent's military formation was so fragile, he should have deployed a thousand soldiers under the city, and he would have completely won the battle.
