Chapter 409 Pharmacist Guo's Suspicion

Chapter 439 Medicine Master Guo's Suspicion

Yanshan Prefecture is a broad geographical name, and it governs [-] counties, including Wanping City, Changping, Liangxiang, Yuhe and other counties in later generations, and Zejin Prefecture, the secluded capital of the government.

As Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty and an important town in the Song Dynasty, Yanshan Mansion was one of the largest cities in the north of the Song Dynasty.

Although it has been baptized by wars in recent years, this place is still densely populated. There are no less than 20 residents in the city, of which there are as many as [-] in the army.

In addition, in the counties under the jurisdiction of Yanshan Prefecture, a large number of Xiang troops were stationed, with a total of more than 20.

Moreover, the Xiang army here is different from the Xiang army in Baozhou. They have sufficient supplies, more training, and most of them have experienced real wars. Their combat strength should not be underestimated.

Currently in Yanshan Mansion, the prefect Wang Anping is nominally the highest official, but everyone knows that it is Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Changsheng Army, who really has the final say.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs. In the state capital, the civil servants originally dominated the military generals, but besides the title of Commander of the Ever Victorious Army, Guo Yaoshi also had another title——Tongzhi Yanshan Prefecture, also known as the In addition to the attributes of a civil official, Wang Anping can no longer be taken seriously under the condition of mastering military power.

Originally, Wang Anping's government office was located in the original Zhejin Prefecture, and Guo Yaoshi's commander was located in Changping, tens of miles away from each other, and they only maintained exchanges of understanding on weekdays.

But today seems to be different, as soon as the time passed, someone hurriedly came to report to the prefect Wang Anping: "My lord, it's not good, Mr. Guo has brought [-] cavalry from the ever-victorious army and arrived at the south gate?"

"What?" Wang Anping, who had just eaten his breakfast, was so frightened that his hands trembled and his chopsticks fell to the ground.

Why did Guo Yaoshi come here, with three thousand cavalry, is he going to rebel?
This was Wang Anping's first reaction, but it was quickly overturned.

Although Guo Yaoshi was arrogant, it was impossible for him not to know the real situation of Yanshan Mansion. There were more than 1 Xiang troops in the city, and all of them were carefully selected by Wang Anping, and he was firmly in control of the team. He brought three thousand cavalry to attack City, this is not logical.

And even if he wanted to attack the city, Guo Yaoshi should choose the nearest north gate to attack. Why did he detour to the south gate? Isn't this to give the soldiers and civilians in the city time to prepare?

Is it because of Zhang Jue's affairs?

Wang Anping knew that Guo Yaoshi was quite dissatisfied when he beheaded Zhang Jue in the government office a few days ago and gave his head to Wanyan Zongwang. Never came back.

Wang Anping understood Guo Yaoshi's thoughts very well. He was also a surrendered general. When he saw Zhang Jue's head fell to the ground, he felt a sense of sadness.

But how can this be done?

In the Song-Jin alliance, Wanyan Zong hoped that the soldiers would overwhelm the border. If Zhang Jue hadn't been beheaded, wouldn't Yanshan Mansion be plunged into war?
A martial artist is a martial artist, he only knows how to fight and kill, how does he know that there are connections between countries!
After taking the handkerchief handed over by the servant girl and wiping his mouth, Wang Anping was about to get up and go to the city gate to have a look.

"Lord Wang, you are still in the mood to eat, something serious has happened!" Guo Yaoshi broke in suddenly, followed by seven or eight generals of the ever-victorious army.

Guo Yaoshi is the commander of the Changsheng Army, and also knows Yanshan Mansion, as long as he doesn't bring troops into the city, no one will dare to stop him.

Wang Anping felt his vest go numb, no wonder Guo Yaoshi went to the south gate, could it be that the guards at the south gate have already been bribed by him?

"It turns out that the Commander-in-Chief has arrived, and I have lost my way to welcome you. Forgive me!" Wang Anping was full of smiles, but he could only talk about Guo Yaoshi's military position, not his civilian position. He wanted to mention Guo Yaoshi. , in Yanshan Mansion, he is the highest decision maker recognized by the court.

It's rare, this time Guo Yaoshi didn't take it seriously, but cupped his hands and asked, "Master Wang, do you know Guo Jing?"

"Guo Jing?" Wang Anping frowned. He knew Guo Jing, but he didn't know why Guo Yaoshi asked this question, so he said: "A few days ago, there was a letter from Bianjing at home, mentioning this person. He It seems that he is a small soldier in the Forbidden Army of the capital, because he knows the magic of Buddhism and Taoism, he was rewarded by His Majesty as a commander of the Liujia Army."

"It's him!" Guo Yaoshi said, "Does Master Wang know that this person has already entered Yanshan Mansion?"

Wang Anping wondered: "What is he doing in Yanshan Mansion? Could it be that his Liujia Divine Soldiers have formed an army, and they want to come to Yanshan Mansion to assist us in guarding the frontier?"

"Your news is too closed!" Guo Yaoshi said: "He is not the commander of the Sixth Armies. He is now an imperial envoy, holding Shang Fang's sword, and coming to Yanshan Mansion to purchase His Majesty's birthday plan for next year!"

"Is this serious?" Wang Anping trembled.

Imperial envoys, Shangfang swords, and birth date guidelines, all of them are not as thunderous.

"It's absolutely true!" Guo Yaoshi has his own sources, especially the news about the capital, and said: "A month ago, Guo Jing was ordered to go north, and he arrived in Zhending, Hejian, Baozhou, and last night. Post, in at most two hours, we will arrive at the gate of the city!"

"The angel is here, why don't you say hello in advance!" Wang Anping became nervous, and said quickly: "I will order the city to clean the streets, decorate with lanterns and festoons, set up incense cases, and... Mr. Guo, you and I should go out of the city for ten miles to meet you." Angel!"

"Master Wang, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet!" Guo Yaoshi said: "Since Guo Jing went to the north, no matter it is Hejian or Zhending, wherever he goes, he has publicized it, summoned state officials, and demanded money. Only accident happened in Baozhou."

Wang Anping frowned, and asked, "Could it be that he was unhappy in Baozhou, didn't get the money he wanted, or was sick?"

"It's not sick, maybe it was assassinated!" Guo Yaoshi said: "Since he entered Baozhou five days ago, the gates of Baozhou City have been closed, and no one knows what happened inside. My people have worked hard It was hard to send out some vague news. It is said that Guo Jing failed to ask for money, so he beheaded Chen Zheng, the procurator of Baozhou, with Shang Fang's sword, provoked a mutiny, and imprisoned him."

"Imprisoning an angel?" Wang Anping was dumbfounded, and said, "Is Li Ming, the magistrate of Baozhou, crazy? This is a capital offense!"

Guo Yaoshi said: "Never mind Li Ming's life or death, the strange thing is why Guo Jing suddenly left Baozhou and arrived at the border of Yanshan Mansion?"

Wang Anping thought for a while and said, "Maybe... your information is wrong? Maybe... Li Ming gave him a lot of money and sent him out of the country?"

"Master Wang is so confused!" Guo Yaoshi looked down on Wang Anping more and more, and said, "The imperial envoy is going to come to Yanshan Mansion, why didn't he take the way of Zhuozhou, instead of going to Chenyi?"

"Go to Chenyi?" Wang Anping finally understood why Guo Yaoshi was so nervous, and said in a trembling voice, "Yizhou City?"
