Chapter 56 third quarter

Guo Yaoshi rose in troubled times, and his resentful army (Changsheng Army) was all hungry people in Liaodong whose wives died and their families were broken up. This army has extremely strong combat effectiveness, but it is also extremely destructive. bladed sword. Guo Yaoshi initially chose to descend to the Song Dynasty because of his instinctive sense of national identity (Guo calls himself a Han Chinese), secondly, his troops’ hatred of the Jurchens, and thirdly, his great love for the wealthy and seemingly powerful Northern Song Empire. confidence. After defecting to the Song people, Guo Yaoshi proved that he was not a dry man, he was really good at fighting, and he dared to go all out. He and Yang Keshi led 7,000 people to attack Youzhou, and fought with Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian for three days and three nights, killing himself They all almost died. If it wasn't for Liu Yanqing's ineffective performance by Song Jun's idiot coach, Guo Yaoshi would have almost won Youzhou City.

After that, Yaoshi Guo's performance was still outstanding.Liu Yanqing was defeated and fled, and when the Liao army was fully pursuing, Guo Yaoshi led the Changsheng army to defeat the Liao army in Yongqing County. They fought a beautiful blocking battle and curbed the momentum of the Liao army. He led his troops to defeat the remaining Xiao cadres of the Liao Kingdom several times. Even though Guo Yaoshi performed brilliantly, after regaining Yanshan Mansion, the empire actually handed over the military command of such an important strategic location to such a general who had just surrendered, which seemed helpless and reckless.The disastrous defeat of the Northwest Army left Tong Guan and his direct line leaders without the right to speak, and the empire could not find other experienced generals. Such a fateful appointment was made at the top.

The combat effectiveness of Guo Yaoshi's army is consistently strong.Zhao Ji sent Tong Guan to Yanshan Mansion to inspect Guo's combat effectiveness shortly after Guo Yaoshi was appointed as the governor of the Changsheng Army.Guo Yaoshi asked Marshal Tong to accompany him, and when he arrived in a suburb, there was no one around, Guo Yaoshi jumped off his horse and commanded the flag to make a move, and in an instant, the iron horses neighed among the four mountains, the armor was shining towards the sun, and when he looked up, black clouds formed One piece, the number of soldiers is unknown.The speed of action of the Ever Victorious Army surprised even the well-informed Marshal Tong.After returning, Marshal Tong praised Guo Yaoshi's tiger and wolf army in his report.

This incident later became Tong Guan's crime.In fact, Eunuch Tong was seeking truth from facts and telling the truth. The emperor asked him to investigate the fighting power of the Guo Department. As for whether Guo Yaoshi had any tendency to rebel against the court that day, Eunuch Tong could not tell. Although he surrendered Song first and then Jin, Guo Yaoshi is by no means an unprincipled villain.When he raised his troops to surrender to Zhuozhou in the Song Dynasty, his immediate boss Xiao Qian was in Guo Yaoshi's camp. Guo Yaoshi persuaded Xiao Qian to return to the Song Dynasty together, but Xiao Qian refused. I also weighed it for a long time, and finally let Xiao Qian go, the reason is that Xiao Qian used to be his boss and saved his life.

After regaining the Yanshan Mansion, Guo Yaoshi went to Tokyo to accept Zhao Ji's summons. Zhao Ji added a lot of official titles and rewards, but he also made a request that Emperor Tianzuo was still in the west, and he was the biggest threat to the Song army. Let Guo Yaoshi Lead the soldiers to cut off the head of Emperor Tianzuo and bring it down as a gift to the new owner. Guo Yaoshi immediately refused, saying that I would not do such immoral things as killing the old master. Almost all historical materials record that Guo Yaoshi was ready to turn against the water and become the second Anlu Mountain after defecting to the Song court. Actions.But after defecting to the Song court, he gradually saw the entire political environment of the empire—untrustworthy rulers, unreliable ministers, unreliable generals, and few military generals who acted like him.

After Zhang Jue was beheaded by Zhao Ji, Guo Yaoshi was disappointed. His opponent said that if the Jurchen wanted his head someday, would Zhao Ji give it to him? After all, he is still a "fugitive" in the Youyun area that the people of the Jin country call, and he is on the blacklist of the people of the Jin country. It was a last resort to allow the Ever Victorious Army to garrison Yanshan Mansion. The empire did not trust generals, let alone a surrendered general.After Tan Zhen took office, he actively planned to establish another volunteer army, hoping to replace it with the ever-victorious army.The salary of the Yisheng Army was twice that of the Changsheng Army, and soon many soldiers from the Changsheng Army jumped to the Yisheng Army.Guo Yaoshi had to tattoo the sergeant's face in order to prevent the soldiers of the Changsheng Army from quitting.

On the territory of the Song Empire, the team became more and more difficult to lead.No matter how many rewards Zhao Ji gave Guo Yaoshi, he could no longer give Guo Yaoshi one thing - confidence.
