In fact, there were hundreds of elite soldiers guarding the surroundings inside and outside the garrison. It was just because there were too many ulterior motives in this incident, so Medicine Master Guo only used dozens of the most trustworthy personal guards around him to take action. But he obviously underestimated Dong Kuang and Sun Tu, and instead put himself in danger.
Fortunately, the melee in the lobby of the second courtyard finally alerted the soldiers and horses outside. After seeing the chaos in the hall and hearing the order from their general, these soldiers rushed in without thinking too much. Come, rush towards the strangers pointed by Guo Yaoshi and surround them.
The generals who were still a little wavering quickly made a wise choice at this time. They rushed forward almost at the same time and blocked Guo Yaoshi behind them to prevent Dong Kuang and others from making a desperate move that would be detrimental to him. Dong Kuang's reaction was also somewhat beyond their expectations. Seeing so many people coming to kill him, he was not surprised or panicked. He only took two steps back to the side with Luda and the other three, and then swept across the front without any fuss. Yu Wen ordered the soldiers who came to kill him: "Dong Kuang is here, who dares to touch me!"
An even more surprising scene happened. With his shout, the soldiers suddenly stopped their attack. Speaking of which, they rushed in to rescue him and didn't really check the situation in the hall carefully. Now they discovered that Dong Kuang was among the strangers, which made many people hesitate: "General Dong... General, this ,what is going on?"
Seeing that his subordinates were all hesitant to move forward, Medical Master Guo was shocked and angry. He immediately shouted loudly again: "What are you waiting for? Dong Kuang colluded with outsiders to kill our Changsheng Army, so why not kill them all quickly?" !”
After hearing this strict order, the soldiers moved slightly, but before they could move to kill him, Dong Kuang spoke again: "In order to steal military power, he Guo Yaoshi joined the Tongliao Army and killed my father Dong Xiaoxiu and many others. The brothers of the Resentful Army have killed many generals in the rear for their own selfish reasons. Now they want to kill me, Dong Kuang, on such an unfounded charge. You really want to help him do this, leaving tens of thousands of my brothers in the Ever-Victorious Army cornered. ?"
Seeing his few words made these soldiers hesitate again. Guo Yaoshi was really impatient to the extreme: "Don't believe his lies. How can I, Guo Yaoshi, be such a person? It is an indisputable fact that he colluded with Song people! I am Chang General of the victorious army, this is a military order!"
"Zhang Yuan, do you still remember Li Qing and Zhang Mai? Don't you want to find out why they died outside? I have found clues. This is the news that he, Guo Pharmacist, deliberately leaked, so that the Liao army could calmly set up an ambush. Let your two friends die in the battle!" Dong Kuang then shouted loudly again, but his eyes were fixed on the officer at the head of the guards, and it was obvious that these words were meant for him.
Zhang Yuan's expression changed as expected: "Is this... are you serious?"
"I kept a brother in the Dongmen Military Camp who was lucky enough to escape. If you don't believe it, you can ask him then!"
Hearing such a definite answer, Zhang Yuan believed it a little more, and his suspicious eyes fell on Pharmacist Guo whose expression changed again: "Shuai Guo..."
"Don't accept his instigation. This is just one-sided words. Take them down quickly. This is a military order!" Medical Master Guo was really anxious and shouted anxiously. But the more he behaves like this, the more suspicious it becomes, not only for Zhang Yuan, but also for other generals.
At this time, I believed Dong Kuang's words more and more.
As a result, the situation in the hall fell into a stalemate. Although the garrison troops surrounded everyone, they did not take action. Dong Kuang and several people were still confronting Guo Yaoshi. Both the generals and the soldiers were Became a bystander.
The development of the matter was beyond Guo Yaoshi's expectation. This was not only due to Dong Kuang's preparedness, but also due to the neutrality of his soldiers. This was something he could not accept. What frightened him even more was the attitude of his subordinates. He was obviously the commander-in-chief of the Ever-Victorious Army, and he had issued strict orders several times just now. But as a result, except for the soldiers around him, almost no one was actually willing to come forward to kill. Kill Dong Kuang and the others!
Since when did Dong Kuang's prestige in the army become so high that he could rival himself? And he was actually kept in the dark all this time! If today's incident had not happened and its impact had been allowed to continue to expand... Thinking of this, Yaoshi Guo couldn't help but shudder, the consequences would have been terrible.
Of course, he didn't know that this was actually just an illusion. Although Dong Kuang did have a high prestige among the Ever-victorious Army, he was far from able to make all the soldiers disobey Pharmacist Guo's orders. Therefore, this situation occurred because Dong Kuang made arrangements in advance according to Sun Tu's instructions. Zhang Yuan was temporarily transferred to lead the troops by him, which led to the shocking results now.
Seeing the confusion in Medicine Master Guo's heart, Dong Kuang shouted loudly: "Pharmacist Guo, you betrayed your brothers because of your own power and harmed countless people. God has eyes, and it will be your turn today. If you still have a little bit left in the world, As long as your conscience is still intact, you should confess everything to everyone and join forces with us to find a way out for the more than 20,000 brothers in the Ever Victorious Army!" He wanted to completely suppress the opponent in terms of momentum and defeat the opponent!
Pharmacist Guo's face turned pale. He opened his mouth to refute, but for a moment he couldn't make any sense. He could only stare at his adopted son fiercely.
At this moment, a louder and louder footsteps rumbled from outside, which quickly cheered up the already depressed Guo Yaoshi. He immediately shouted loudly: "The reinforcements I have deployed have been Come on, why don't you hurry up and join me to take down all these rebellious people!"
As he said that, he stared at Dong Kuang whose expression changed slightly: "Dong Kuang, do you think I have no other preparations? I just ordered people to mobilize troops from the west gate. They must have surrounded me now." Guard the Yamen. In just a moment, two thousand soldiers and horses will be able to rush in and catch you and the others in one fell swoop..." Then, there was a burst of laughter, as if he wanted to use this laughter to cover up the fear just now.
But his smile could not last long, because there were suddenly some sounds that they were all very familiar with outside - the sound of arrows swooping through the air, the sound of shouting and killing, and bursts of screams.
"This is..." Medical Master Guo changed his expression again. He immediately understood that the back-up reinforcements he had arranged were actually attacked outside. Obviously, not only did he have this arrangement, but Dong Kuang also had the same arrangement! Once he understood this, his heart sank to the bottom instantly. At this point, it seemed that there was no possibility of his comeback.
Dong Kuang, who was originally nervous because of the external developments, finally calmed down and breathed out softly: "Then Sun Tuguo
However, he did what he said, and he actually took the troops out of the camp in just one or two hours and even lurked outside. He was really clever. "
It turned out that when Dong Kuang brought Lu Da and others to see Medicine Master Guo, Sun Tu was not idle either. While others were not paying attention to his whereabouts, he took his people, took the token given by Dong Kuang, and went straight to the Dongmen Military Camp, where he asked Dong Kuang's trusted subordinates to come to the garrison to support him.
And he thought a little more. After hearing that there was not much movement inside, he did not rush to lead people in, but lurked in the darkness on the spot to deal with Guo Yaoshi's back-up plan. Facts have proved that his arrangement was perfect. Under the cover of darkness, the soldiers and horses who were eager to rescue were completely unprepared and were killed by surprise. They could only scatter in a hurry, and it was difficult for them to pose any threat to the garrison. .
"Sun Tu..." Among the retreating soldiers, Wanyan Wushu retreated while staring at Sun Tu in front of him, gritting his teeth. It wasn't until this moment that he realized what a serious mistake he had made. It turned out that his biggest threat was not Dong Kuang, but the Song envoy Sun Tu. This person was more difficult and terrifying than he had thought before. It's ridiculous that I thought I had a chance to win, thinking that as long as I captured Yaoshi Guo, this problem would be solved.
And all that can be done now is to stay away from this place and wait for another day to avenge this arrow.
Just when Wu Shu made up his mind and turned around to escape, Sun Tulu's order came from behind like a talisman: "Fire arrows and shoot those Jurchens!" As he pointed his finger, the soldiers who had already risen to kill him Without even thinking about it, dozens of arrows were whizzing towards Wu Shu and his escorts.
"Fourth Prince, be careful!" Those subordinates, including Zeng Sheng, all rushed forward to meet the flying arrows at this moment, blocking Wushu's body, and waving their weapons, they helped him block all threats. , but there were also several people who were hit by arrows and screamed miserably.
"Let's go! Get out of here first..." Although Wu Shu was not old, he was not carried away by anger. He decisively made the most correct decision and continued to move towards the rear, relying on the cover of other soldiers around him and the night. Retreat. As the distance increased, the arrows there could no longer hurt them, allowing them to run towards the west faster.
There was a flash of light in Sun Tu's eyes, as if he was weighing the situation. In the end, he did not show his last trump card. He just watched Wu Shu and the others escape, and only murmured: "Wanyan Wushu, this is just the beginning. Soon, you will know that you are the enemy of the Song Dynasty." What will happen!"
As the Jin people retreated, the other soldiers who came from the Ximen Military Camp were even more disorganized, either fleeing or surrendering. At least for the time being, the front of the garrison was completely controlled by Sun Tu and his men. Until then, he ordered his troops and horses to disperse and guard the four directions, while he led a few people and strode into the palace gate.
Now, it's time to clean up the situation, help Dong Kuang get rid of Pharmacist Guo, and truly take control of this victorious army and this Zhuozhou City!
When Sun Tu entered the second courtyard, he saw the two sides still in a stalemate in the hall. As he appeared with his people, Dong Kuang, who had been tensed up, finally relaxed completely. With a flash of his eyes, he pointed his sword at the already distracted Guo Yaoshi in front of him: "Guo Yaoshi, today I I’m going to end it with you!”
