Chapter 280: The Way to Death
A fierce battle passed and night fell.
The clouds gathered all day long, and finally fell on this night. A heavy rain washed the unclean ground. In the huge military camp that stretched for more than ten miles, the soldiers with rain were still insisting on patrolling, but most of the soldiers stayed in the tent.
The inconspicuous corner of the camp is very remote, but the guards are very tight, and the surrendered resentful troops are arranged to be stationed here. Such prevention is a practice for the newly surrendered army and no one will have any objections.
Someone came in outside the main tent in the corner, and the curtain was raised, and the rain poured in with a damp coldness. The dim light ignited in the brazier was swaying. At the first place, Guo Yaoshi sat there with a golden knife, removed his shoulder blades, and asked Liu Shunren to apply medicine for him. The person who came in outside the camp sat in front of the brazier with rain and dampness on his body, took the wine bag from another general, and raised his head and whispered it.
"Ling Hui, what's the reward for the brothers?" The general was a little older, so it was not inappropriate to call the other party like this.
Zhang Linghui wiped the wet marks on the corner of his mouth, tied the wine bag and threw it over, laughing: "That Tong Guan is a cheerful person, and he has a big beard. If you don't know, you can't tell that he is a eunuch, hahaha." He slapped a paper on the table and lit lines of handwriting on the paper: "The above requirements have been written into the reward, haha, brother, now we are getting rich, and even the soldiers who died and injured will be given a pension."
"You are satisfied with this..." The older general called Zhen Wuchen, who waved his hand and slapped him in the head, just like an elder educating a junior.
Guo Yaoshi looked at the paper on the table and smiled. The injured shoulder was inconvenient to move. He raised his other hand, "It is easy for Wu Chao to take out this thing. Moreover, compared with the enemy generals who surrendered, they pay more attention to face. The achievements worth bragging about will naturally be good to us."
Then, he took the paper and threw it into the brazier, "Since we have come here, let's do it well. If there is a reward today, there will be one tomorrow, and it will be even bigger."
"Big?" Liu Shunren, who was nearby, was stunned, and his hands were hanging on his hands to sort out the remaining herbs.
"Yes, it's even bigger." Guo Pharmacist nodded, and then his eyes were heading towards the northeast through the tent. "I already had a plan in my mind. Taking Shangjing can not only block the attack of the Jurchens, but also indirectly divide Yanyun, so that we can take action to get it."
As he said this, the other three couldn't help but look at each other. Then Zhen Wuchen hesitated a little: "Will this take some credit for Tong Shumi? After all, we have just come here."
Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren nodded, as if they were worried about this.
"He is the head coach of the Northern Expedition. Most of the contributions of his subordinates will be counted on him." Guo Yaoshi glanced at them, "But we are surrendered generals, although they are now popular, what after Yan Yun took them? The Wu Dynasty is so big, and we are surrendered generals again at that time, how should we handle ourselves? Without entering the eyes of the emperor of Bianliang City, you and I soon disappeared from everyone's eyes, and they couldn't even afford to splash. So while we are now, we will achieve some results and help us in time, so that Zhao Ji can remember us."
"Brother said what to do..." Zhang Linghui clenched his fists and raised it, "It's better to let the eunuchs and generals of Wu Chao see what kind of heroic spirit the men in the north are."
Guo Yaoshi smiled, threw away the clothes he was wearing, and punched him on the hanging map. "Now Xiao Gan is dead, Yelu Dashi doesn't know where to go. The door to the west of Shangjing is now open, and most of the people in the city are not sure about what happened here. It is not impossible for such a surprise attack to rush over the Jurchens."
He turned around, his eyes full of fierceness: "Take Yan Yun down, this world, this Qingshu will know that there is a man named Guo Yaoshi in the world. He took his resentful army to capture the Shangjing of Liao for the Wu Dynasty... It would be worth it for the rest of his life. Also, don't call him a eunuch. Tong Guan is the commander of the first army, so he told him to listen. It is not good to us now, but after taking Yan Yun down, he will always have to go back. Who in this north and this army is more familiar with us? By then, you will have no problem roaring towards the sky."
"Then...what about other eunuchs? I see that there are many eunuchs in this military camp."
"Hey, that must be Tong Shumi's close servant, otherwise could she still bring women in?"
"Hahaha... Ling Hui's words are really... funny."
Everyone laughed and couldn't help but say some jokes about eunuchs. Suddenly, Guo Yaoshi waved his hand, and the three of them stopped immediately. The curtain was lifted, and a round-faced eunuch came in with his head open, and smiled and brought a plate of medicine over: "Supermi Tong told me that General Guo had suffered a wound on his shoulder and wanted to bring some medicines for trauma in the palace."
"Just put it there, I'm sorry, this father-in-law."
Gao Muen smiled humbly and bowed his hands: "I dare not, this is what I should do. The medicine has been delivered, so I will say goodbye first."
As soon as the figure left, the big tent was quiet for a moment, and then laughter broke out. Pharmacist Guo waved his hand and said, "Don't laugh, be careful that someone will listen, leave quickly, leave quickly."
The three generals then left with a laugh.
...
Not long after, on the other side of the military camp, Gao Muen came to the commander's tent and lifted it up and walked in.
He whispered a few words in Bai Ning's ear, and then left carefully. Tong Guan put down the teacup opposite the desk and seemed to have heard a few words.
"It seems that your newly surrendered people don't look down on eunuchs very much." Bai Ning took a sip of tea.
When the tea cup was put down, the big tent was very quiet. Tong Guan stood up straight, his eyes darkened. When he recalled the words of the little eunuch just now, a thorn suddenly grew in his heart.
"Sir Admiral, what should we do?"
Bai Ning turned the teacup, glanced at him, and said softly: "The army is not a united mind, what do you think should you do? There are not a general who can fight, but good soldiers are the most in short supply now. If Xiao Guizi can't make up his mind, I will do it for him, and the poisonous wine he prepared last time will be kept."
Tong Guan was silent and kept staring at the lights.
After a moment, he nodded.
Bang!
