Chapter 952 Father and son turn against each other (1)
Time goes back, and the night is just around the corner, a personal soldier next to Guo Yaoshi came to Dong Kuang: "Major General, the general has important matters to discuss, I hope you can go quickly."
Dong Kuang, who had already hidden things in his heart, was stunned when he heard this: "What is the enfeoffed father's order? Why did he choose to call me over at such a night? Besides, I still have the responsibility to protect the safety of the Song envoy."
"It is unknown how humble this position is, but it is of great importance. The general issued a military order."
"Is this true? Then wait for a while, I will talk to Song Envoy before going with you." Dong Kuang did not insist too much, but just nodded to the other party and entered the yard first. Seeing that he agreed, the personal soldier's slightly nervous expression finally relaxed a little and obediently stood in front of the door.
After a while, Dong Kuang had already brought three personal soldiers out of the courtyard. While turning over the horse, he gestured to the man. The latter understood and followed them, quickly walked along the empty street, and soon arrived in front of the garrison yamen.
As Guo Yaoshi's adopted son, Dong Kuang was no longer as ordinary generals. Without reporting, he had already taken his personal soldiers into the gate and followed his habits to the front hall where he had always negotiated official duties. Sure enough, the lobby was brightly lit at this time, and several subordinates who needed to be used were sitting down. Everyone had a serious expression, and the most serious one was Guo Yaoshi who was sitting in the upper seat.
After seeing Dong Kuang arrive, he raised his eyebrows slightly and saw him leaving three personal soldiers outside. Then he spoke: "Dalang, you are here just right. Come in quickly. This matter is just waiting for you."
Dong Kuang stepped into the hall steadily, but did not rush to sit down, but bowed and said, "The adoptive father suddenly summoned him that night, but what happened? Is it that Liao army came to kill, or did the Song army have any abnormal movements?"
"Haha, I have said that Dalang always knew the most. You see, what he cares most about when he comes is the situation of our ever-winning army. He is really worthy of being the descendant of General Dong." Guo Yaoshi smiled a little when he started speaking, but when he said the last sentence, his face and tone became a little calm and gloomy. The generals below also thrust, as if they were to rise.
Faced with such a strange situation, Dong Kuang just ignored him and still stood up and looked at Guo Yaoshi: "This is all my thing, and my adoptive father praised it. Besides, you have promised me that you would hand over the ever-winning army to command me, so it is natural for me to care more about our situation at this time." His voice was straight, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Haha... OK, it's a natural thing!" Guo Yaoshi's face suddenly sank, and his right hand slapped the long desk, and asked sternly: "Since you all know my hard work, why did you collude with outsiders this time, and you want to be unfavorable to me and the whole army of Changsheng?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the generals around him changed, and more than a dozen eyes fell on Dong Kuang almost at the same time. However, he did not even look up and stood calmly: "Why did the adoptive father say this? Why can't I understand why I collude with outsiders at all?"
"What, do you still want to deny the matter now? I have seen through the collusion between you and the Song people. Also, you sent someone to take action secretly around dusk, and it is already in my control. I have reached an ulterior motive agreement with the Song people, what do you want to do to me? I have always been careful to cultivate you and plan to hand over the entire ever-winning army to you when I am old, but how do you repay me? You are really an ungrateful wolf with great ambitions and sensational!" Guo Yaoshi stared at the adopted son below with gritted teeth, wishing that he could give him the order now and let someone kill him on the spot.
But he knew that this would not be possible. Not to mention that Dong Kuang has always been deeply in the Changsheng Army in recent years and has a deep friendship with all the generals. As Dong Xiaochou's son alone, he could not kill him at will. Although many people have changed a lot after many years, Dong Xiaochou's power and eloquence are there in the Changsheng Army, which has the main team of the resentful army, so Dong Kuang naturally gained great benefits as his son.
Why did he obviously have great fear of Dong Kuang but even take him as his adopted son? Isn't it because of his identity? Even at this time, Guo Yaoshi still dared not order the other party to be killed at will. He must be convinced by everyone else, otherwise the ever-winning army might disperse.
Faced with Guo Yaoshi's aggressive aura, Dong Kuang still looked calm and bowed, "What the adoptive father said is really unacceptable. I have something to do with the Song envoy, but I didn't follow your arrangements? As for any abnormal movement, it's even more nonsense! I hope the adoptive father will be clear and not be blinded."
"At this point, you actually want to be clever and make your feelings go away. Do you really think that you can't bully me? Come on, bring me the person!" Guo Yaoshi laughed in anger, and immediately raised his voice and shouted.
A moment after the words were heard outside, a slightly embarrassed figure was pushed into the hall by several military soldiers, and then pressed to the ground: "Let's see who he is?"
Dong Kuang looked down at the person, and his face changed: "Uncle Liao, why did you tie him up?"
The same color changed, and the generals below were also the ones. As generals in the Changsheng Army, they naturally knew the identity of this person. This man named Liao Gui has always been Dong Kuang's right-hand man, so if there is any important matter, he would naturally leave it to him.
"Are you still pretending to behave now? Liao Gui, why are you arrested?" Guo Yaoshi sneered and shouted immediately.
"I... I just went to the military camp in the west of the city to take a walk, but I was taken down." Liao Gui's answer was obviously avoiding the important thing. Many people's expressions changed again and understood his intentions.
Now 20,000 troops in Zhuozhou City are divided into five places. In addition to ensuring the safety of the city, the other four armies are divided into four gates. Tian Shen, the chief general at the west gate, has always had close relationships with Dong Kuang. What Liao Gui means at this time really makes people feel uneasy.
"What a casual walk, Dong Kuang, do you really think that everyone here is a fool? Do you really think that I can't see your sinister thoughts?" Guo Yaoshi stared at him, his tone becoming more intense: "The former, you advised me to stabilize the messengers of the three parties, probably to create more time for yourself, right? I'm useless to trust you so much, but you plotted everywhere and deliberately spread the news to them, which made the situation in Zhuozhou more and more critical. But you, in fact, have already made plans to defect to the people of Song and planned to use their power to harm me to seize power. Hey, you are really determined and have made a good plan."
As long as he was not particularly honest, he had already figured out what he wanted to express. Dong Kuang made a statement that he would sell the goods to the three companies in order to make Guo Yaoshi offend the three parties, and then he had the opportunity to bypass him, the commander, and then he used his backing to use his influence in the army to suddenly launch a mutiny, eradicate Guo Yaoshi, and seize his military power.
As long as his plan succeeds, once Guo Yaoshi is killed or captured, other generals will have to finally acknowledge such a result for various reasons, causing the entire ever-winning army to fall back into his hands by Dong Kuang.
When these generals think of the possible consequences, in addition to some fear, they also have to admire Dong Kuang's skillful methods. Of course, at present, he is still no match for Guo Yaoshi. This mutiny is still brewing and has been exposed. He has been trapped here and it is difficult to accomplish anything.
Guo Yaoshi looked heartbroken at this moment: "Dong Kuang, I know that you have always had opinions about me over the years and feel that General Dong's death is related to me. I have never made any excuses about this. I just hope to use facts to make you understand that I have no grudges and your Dong family. For this reason, I will not hesitate to hand over the entire ever-winning army to you.
"But you, you disappoint me so much. The first thing for our soldiers is to be upright, so that the soldiers below can convince them. But you only know how to use these conspiracies to plot... This is just second, and more importantly, your choice is completely wrong. Cooperating with the Song people is to ignore the safety of my always-winning army and make a fuss with the tiger!
"The Song people have never been trustworthy. If you do this and cooperate with them, you will inevitably be threatened by them. The Liao and Jin people are already powerful. Once you attack their envoys in order to please the Song people, you will inevitably attract the greatest revenge. At that time, let alone my soldiers are scarce and the city is dangerous, even if the soldiers are strong, you will definitely not be able to defend this place! You are taking risks for your own selfishness and taking the lives of tens of thousands of brothers of my ever-winning army. I will never allow such a scene to happen. So even if you are the son of General Dong and my adopted son, I must put the overall situation first and destroy my relatives for the sake of justice!"
These words were really righteous, which moved the soldiers present. At this time, Yaoshi Guo looked so fair and selfless, and almost couldn't tell any fault. Even if a few of them wanted to protect Dong Kuang before, it would be difficult to speak up at this time.
Some soldiers outside the hall were even more hatred and stared at Dong Kuang. Just after Guo Yaoshi gave the order, they would rush into the door and take Dong Kuang off.
But Dong Kuang's face changed at this moment. After a while, he suddenly laughed, his body trembling with laughter, and tears were about to flow down his eyes: "Master Guo, Pharmacist Guo, someone told me before that you are extremely cunning and extremely sinister, and I don't believe it. But now, I finally believe it. It turns out that you have already planned it. I guess you have been waiting for this day and find a suitable excuse to get rid of it. Well, this is better, and it will save me from being embarrassed!"
"Huh?" Everyone below Yaoshi Guo was moved and felt a little uneasy. But at this time, there was no need to say anything else. He immediately shouted: "Take this traitor down for me!"
