When Gao Pian led the army to attack Dangshan County, Guo Pu was ordered to sit in Xuzhou. Usually, this is a very important position, but now it seems to Guo Pu that it is simple and leisurely. There is no other reason, and the overall situation is settled.
He only needs to guard against the enemy forces on the northern line of Kunyi to open up the situation - this is naturally impossible in Guo Pu's view. From the beginning of the battle, Gunyi was not the main direction of the enemy's attack, so it was not the main battlefield. The Wu army's city there was as solid as a rock.
As the sun was setting, Guo Pu made tea in the Fuzhongxuan room. There was no maid to serve him, and he poured tea by himself. The golden sunshine shines through the bamboo curtains in the southwest, and it is very beautiful and peaceful in the house. Guo Pu took a sip of the steaming tea, and felt that his teeth were full of fragrance, which was really extremely pleasant.
Among the four sages and eight masters of Confucianism, there are seventy-two talents. Guo Pu is among the eight masters, and he is at the top of the list. Even Zhang Zhongsheng is a bit worse than him. Except for a few dying old men, he is truly the number one scholar of Confucianism. If not, the Confucian scholars would not take Gao Pian as the leader this time when Gao Pian went to the Central Plains.
Kneeling behind the desk, looking up at the sunset on the eaves sideways, Guo Pu showed a sincere and self-satisfied smile in his eyes. In this battle, he rescued the army twice in times of crisis. It can be said that he has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has lived up to the name of the number one genius of Confucianism.
Picking up the tea bowl and taking another sip, Guo Pu was suddenly lost in thought as he watched the rising heat.
He thought to himself: "This great country will soon belong to the King of Wu. It's really fascinating. Why do I feel a little pity? Yes, although the King of Wu can be called the master of the Ming Dynasty, his tolerance is not good. Yes. Although the Confucian sect is sincerely relying on it, it can be seen that he still has some reservations in his heart... "
Thinking of this, Guo Pu couldn't help thinking of the Battle of Yuanju County.
It was a contest between Shangguan Qingcheng and Zhu Yin.
After that battle, he once wanted to see King An, but unfortunately, the other party's whereabouts were erratic, and he couldn't find him.
"How can I think of King An? I have never been able to witness his true face..."
Guo Pu's thoughts were vague and his expression was in a trance, "Zhang Zhongsheng said that King An trusted Cui Keli very much, and the land of Pinglu almost became the ideal home of Confucian scholars... even the scholars didn't look like him. Scholars are gone, one by one burying their heads in copywriting, rushing around the fields, more like farmers and craftsmen than scholars, and there is not much romantic spirit left."
Remembering that King An was not around, Li Maozhen had an army of more than two million, but was doomed to be defeated by Gao Pian, Guo Pu couldn't help but feel sad.

After a long time, he sighed, and Guo Pu stood up regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't see King An in this life... It's just that a person who failed in the world's great struggle is also famous. It’s really hard to get down, even if you don’t see it.”
After straightening his clothes, Guo Pu planned to go to the front hall. Not surprisingly, Dangshan County's good news should come back, and he wanted to hear the good news as soon as possible.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, Guo Pu was startled suddenly, and saw a person standing on the goose warm stone path next to the bamboo grove in the courtyard, smiling slightly at him.
"Zhongsheng? You... are back?" Guo Pu walked up to him with a happy face. This fellow junior who disappeared in Bianzhou at the same time as Zhu Wen made him worry and worry for a long time, and now that he reunited, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Zhang Zhongsheng bowed to him and said, "I've met senior brother."
"You're finally back, I've been worried for a while." Guo Pu held up his arms and expressed emotion, "You must have suffered a lot on the way back from the Tsingyi Yamen cultivator. Fortunately, come back. That's good, let Brother Wei take your pulse to see how your body is doing!"
As he said that, he went to grab the opponent's wrist.
After he finished speaking, he saw the corners of Zhang Zhongsheng's mouth twitching, his expression was strange, and he seemed hesitant to speak.
Guo Pu was puzzled and asked, "What do you want to say, Junior Brother?" Zhang Zhongsheng sighed, pushed away the other party's hand that was signaling his pulse, looked at Guo Pu and said seriously: "Senior brother, my journey back to the south was smooth this time, and I didn't suffer any hardships. , but received good preferential treatment."
Guo Pu was stunned, looked Zhang Zhongsheng up and down, saw that Zhang Zhongsheng was indeed still handsome, just relieved, but frowned again: "Junior brother was captured by King Qi's men?"
Just as Zhang Zhongsheng was about to speak, Guo Pu raised his hand to stop him suddenly, and his expression became hardened, "If you were sent by King Qi to be a lobbyist, you don't need to speak. Senior brother sits in Xuzhou and will never betray King Wu. Create chaos behind the army!"
After saying that, he ignored Zhang Zhongsheng, walked back to the hall, and sat down in front of the table where the tea was half cooled, without looking sideways.
This is already a gesture of chasing customers.
Zhang Zhongsheng was not surprised that Guo Pu could guess his intention of coming. He didn't leave, but followed into the room, and cupped his hands at Guo Pu again, and when the other party was about to reprimand him coldly, he stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, you don't need to make trouble, let alone betray the King of Wu. Although Zhong Sheng is not talented, But I won't let my brother do such a thing."
"Oh?" Guo Pu responded coldly, obviously not believing the other party's words, and he was on guard from his expression to his heart.
Zhang Zhongsheng smiled wryly, "Brother, there is really no need to be on guard against Zhongsheng like this. You don't have to make trouble because the Wu army has been defeated; you don't have to betray the King of Wu because the King of Wu is dead."
Guo Pu's face suddenly changed, and he slapped his desk angrily, almost jumping up: "Nonsense! Zhang Zhongsheng, how dare you talk so nonsense, you still have half a point in your heart..."
"Brother!" Zhang Zhongsheng couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted the other party loudly, not because he couldn't bear the other party's attitude, but because he felt that there was no need to engage in unnecessary verbal disputes, "Go out and have a look! Take a look at this Xuzhou City, now What kind of scene is it? Let's see whose soldiers are guarding Xuzhou City right now."
Guo Pu stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Zhang Zhongsheng and was about to teach him a lesson.
Seeing the other party's calm face, he couldn't help feeling suspicious, but on his face he said with a sneer: "It's extremely ridiculous! I sit in Xuzhou for my brother, the city is well-defended, and the soldiers are on the alert. If there is an enemy attack, how can they not be reported?! Think Seize Xuzhou City quietly, unless... unless..."
At this point, Guo Pu couldn't continue.
Zhang Zhongsheng looked at him expectantly, as if you were going to go on and get to the point right away.
Guo Pu couldn't hold his own any longer, and rushed out of the yard with big strides.
Arriving at the gate of the mansion, Guo Pu felt cold hands and feet just after he stepped over the threshold, and couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
On both sides of the gate of the mansion, stood two rows of monks dressed in green clothes with straight knives at the waist and hips. The four headed by the monks with wide sleeves and long robes, the breath was like a deep, clearly the realm of real people!
Guo Pu didn't know any of these people.
As for the monks who were originally guarding here, they all disappeared.
Not only that, there were two teams of soldiers standing beside the gate of the mansion, with a total of 500 soldiers. All of them were dressed in bright armor, with a murderous look on their faces, as if they were ready to rush into the mansion at any moment and start a killing spree.
Look at their armor and clothing, it's not Wu Jun's style!
Trembling, Guo Pu raised his head, and saw that on the city wall not far away, all the original flags of the Wu army had been removed, and replaced by the flags of King An and the Spike Army!
Facts have proved that the mansion of Jiedushi has been tightly controlled by Tsingyi Yamen. Although there are only four real people in front of the door, there must be more real people who are not in front of the door or who have not shown their faces. Otherwise, the original monks would not be wiped out quietly. go.
And the defense of the entire city is now in the hands of the Spike Army!
Don't even think about it, when the opponent attacked, it must be the cultivator in the real world who controlled the city gate, or even the city guards, for the commander of the Spike Army to drive straight in.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city of Xuzhou, Guo Pu felt dizzy.
The change of ownership of the entire city was completed quietly, and he didn't notice it from the beginning to the end! Perhaps when he was making tea and drinking himself in the hall, those monks and guards outside also lost their lives unknowingly!
The sentence that Guo Pu didn't finish with Zhang Zhongsheng was actually very simple. If you want to capture Xuzhou quickly, you must have an army of tens of thousands of fine cavalry and cooperate with dozens of real people to make a surprise attack!
Only in this way, Xuzhou will not even have room to resist.
The scene in front of him showed that everything was exactly as Guo Pu thought.
It was just seeing the iron-like reality with his own eyes, but Guo Pu couldn't accept it for a while.
The opponent's actions were more rigorous than he thought, so strict that he didn't even have a chance to get news.
This is no longer capturing a city, but capturing even Guo Pu's spiritual world.
Zhang Zhongsheng sighed beside the distraught Guo Pu: "Senior brother, in fact, King An did not need to take such a big effort to attack Xuzhou City. The reason why he chose this way is to tell senior brother that the Confucianism is really against him. It’s boring to ask for it. Senior brother is the most talented person in our Confucian school, Wang An cherishes senior brother’s talent, so he asked senior brother to come here, so as to persuade him, I hope senior brother can recognize the reality and know how to choose the road ahead.”
Guo Pu is worthy of being Guo Pu. Faced with such a huge change, although he was shocked for a long time, he gradually calmed down after hearing Zhang Zhongsheng's words.
He asked in a deep voice with a difficult voice: "Is it really King An? Is King Wu really defeated?"
Zhang Zhongsheng nodded: "King Wu rescued Dangshan County, met King An at the bank of Moshan, was defeated and fled south, and was beheaded by King An and King Qi at Bagong Mountain. Shangguan Qingcheng took the opportunity to launch a counterattack in Dangshan, and most of the Wu soldiers surrendered , and the rest were basically hunted down. Under the instruction of King An, the Spike Army came to Xuzhou in cooperation with the Tsingyi Yamen."
Guo Pu opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.
At the end, he smiled wryly: "King An...King An, it turns out to be the real King An!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing Guo Pu crying bitterly, Zhang Zhongsheng didn't bother him, but just waited quietly.
After a while, Guo Pu wiped away his tears, his expression returned to normal, he turned to look at Zhang Zhongsheng, and said resolutely, "If possible, take me to meet King An."
Zhang Zhongsheng responded with a smile: "Just wait for what the senior brother said."
Li Ye is not in Xuzhou, he is in Dangshan County, squatting on a low bed in a room, looking at the unconscious person in front of him meaningfully, before turning around for a long time, he asked Shangguan Qingcheng: "Was Zhao Nianci defeated here?" In the hands of someone? His army of more than 200,000 was eaten by this person?"
Shangguan Qingcheng in military uniform nodded: "That's him."
Li Ye stared at Sun Ru and sighed in admiration: "A group of scholars from the Confucian school can't imagine that the only Confucian general has such abilities. In an understatement, he defeated the number one genius under Zhao Bingkun, a military strategist. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"
If Zhao Nianci was here, he would be ashamed to hear these words.
Shangguan Qingcheng said truthfully: "This time the Central Plains War is the first time Zhao Nianci has led an army. He is inexperienced; he also has the desire to compete with me, and he is eager to make contributions. When he meets a wise general like Sun Ru, he will suffer. Inevitably, it’s not entirely her fault.”
Li Ye looked back at Shangguan Qingcheng again, and grinned to reveal two rows of white teeth, "If it weren't for that old boy Gao Pian to get in his way, Dangshan County would be destroyed by you in a few days. No matter how powerful this Sun Ru is, When you meet us, General Shangguan, isn’t that the only way to cover your head and get beaten?”
Hearing this, Shangguan Qingcheng couldn't help but blushed and lowered his head.
Li Ye laughed even more proudly: "General Shangguan never shows any expression on his face, the only thing he does is blush, wonderful, really wonderful!"
