On November 7, the first year of Guangshun of the Later Zhou Dynasty (951), Wang Jun set out and Guo Wei went to see him off in person. He gave him all the jade belt, the imperial horse, jade cup, and all the wine they could. Such kindness was just for a request. Brother Wang Jun, don’t be the second Yang Guangyuan (the number one traitor when the Khitan destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty), and the second Du Chongwei (the number one traitor when the Khitan destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty). Guo Wei was anxiously waiting for the news of victory ahead in Bianliang City, but what disappointed him and even went crazy was that Wang Jun had received so many rewards and did not work. The news came, and Wang Jun stopped halfway.

Jinzhou City is looking forward to the central government's rescue, but what does your Wang Jun garrison mean? On December 1, the anxious Guo Wei could no longer wait, so he decided to go to support himself. Before leaving, he sent a letter to Wang Jun, and Wang Jun immediately replied: Master, the morale of the Khitan and the Northern Han coalition forces is strong now. Although I can control all the troops, I can only mobilize these more than 20,000 imperial guards. Two to seventy thousand (there are 50,000 of them.

Foreign cavalry) have little chance of victory. And I believe that Jinzhou is strong, with good soldiers and sufficient food, and the three acting generals can also use their lives. Moreover, Khitan cavalry is good at field battles and is not good at attacking. As long as they hold on for a while, the situation will become beneficial to our side. I only need to wait for a month or two, and the enemy will enter deeper, and the food and grass will definitely be insufficient. Moreover, if I attack the city for a long time, the momentum will also decline. At this time, I will send troops to attack and will definitely win a complete victory and get Jinzhou! But you must stay in the capital and cannot move.

Finally, Wang Jun mentioned a name: Murong Yanchao. Information from all aspects showed that the Taining Jiedushi, who was the one who had chosen Guo Wei as a single force, was not willing to be entrusted. He recruited the desperation, gathered food, and wrote to the Northern Han and Southern Tang, discussing to give Guo Wei a Ma Wei together. The thief called for the thief to forge a letter from Gao Xingzhou, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was about slandering the court and colluding with him to rebel. Guo Wei smiled indifferently when he saw this letter, "Murong Yanchao is using a counter-espionage plan! Just send this letter to General Gao in the same way." So when Wang Jun wrote to Guo Wei, "If Your Highness moves, Murong Yanchao will lead your troops to trample your retreat. Our Great Zhou Dynasty is really about to finish playing." Guo Wei suddenly realized and held his ear with his hand and said: I almost missed a big deal!

In this way, the affairs of Jinzhou have to rely entirely on Wang Jun. Wang Jun had to work hard to hold on for the three people in the city.

Sure enough, the coalition army was not enough! Don’t forget that the Liao army has always brought no food when going to war. Although Liu Chong had military rations, he did not make the budget for 50,000 Allied troops. After eating for more than a month, the military rations were gone. In December, the weather was cold and the ground was slippery, and he could not transport it for a while. The Khitan soldiers decided to use their old method: rob it! Teams of Khitan soldiers came out of the barracks, many of which were veterans who had been here two or three times in the Central Plains. If you know where there is food, money and girls, then rob it!

The Khitan cavalry, who was full of hope, finally got disappointed. The common people were robbed for more than half a century, and even the stupid people learned to be smart. Some people specifically looked at the wind. As soon as the Khitan devils arrived, the news tree was cut down. The people immediately hid food everywhere. After robbing for two or three days, they were half tired and they were not enough to eat for a day. They could bear hunger for one or two days, but the temperature was colder every day. What should I do? The 70,000 Han and Liao coalition forces, three out of ten, freezing to death.

This is the opportunity that Wang Jun waited for! On the 18th, he finally sent troops to Jinzhou. There was still the last obstacle left. There was Meng Ruan south of Jinzhou, and the terrain was dangerous. If there was an ambush, it would definitely lose troops and generals. Wang Jun sent Yao Yuanfu to lead 3,000 troops to explore the way first. The name was to explore the way, but it was actually to step on a landmine. Yao Yuanfu was named well. The lucky person led his troops to rush past Meng Ruan in one breath. The enemy no longer had the energy to set up ambush and attack aid, and it was too late to grab food! When Wang Jun's army passed Meng Ruan, Liu Chong knew the end of his defeat. He gritted his teeth and retreated to Taiyuan!

At this time, all the generals asked to chase the enemy and try to eliminate Liu Chong on the road. But Wang Jun felt that it was a great achievement to resolve the siege of Jinzhou. But Wang Jun, who had been resting for a night, suddenly realized: Maybe, maybe, he had not made any contribution, after all, he had no contact with the enemy. As for the credit, it was only Wang Wandao and others in Jinzhou City. Wang Jun, who came to his senses, decided to send troops to chase his contribution. He was really chased by him. The Northern Han soldiers who were unable to run fast were caught up by Zhou Bing who ran one day later than them. In a panic, they were caught up from behind the butt.

Later, he stepped on the trampling, but not much was killed by the Zhou soldiers, but many people rolled down the cliff. However, when the Zhou soldiers saw the narrower and narrower road, they were afraid and dared not move forward. They were afraid that in a mess, they might be trampled on themselves. Although Yao Yuanfu advocated that the victory should be brave enough to chase the enemy and attack the Longcheng of Taiyuan. However, generals such as Kang Yanzhuo advocated giving up. Seeing that they had already made achievements, they should not be too greedy, so they let Liu Chong go. Xiao Yujue of Liao Kingdom also ran to Taiyuan in one go, and killed a chief in depression to vent his anger. After this battle, under the rule of the King of Sleeping, the Liao Kingdom began its decline for nearly twenty years...

Guo Wei couldn't help but sigh: If you follow Yao Yuanfu's words, there will be no boundary trouble! When Wang Jun had enough rest, his mind turned around and found out that this time the labor force mobilized many people, but he had no credit for himself! What should I do? Wang Jun, who had a sudden inspiration, remembered that after fighting for so long, the city wall was broken. Although the enemy has gone now, he may not be able to come again. If the city wall is not repaired, how can he resist the enemy in the future? Wang Jun mobilized more than 20,000 men to repair Jinzhou City, which was considered a small contribution. However, during this cultivation, Wang Jun picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, and missed the beginning of a good show.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Guangshun (952), Wang Jun returned to Bianliang from Jinzhou. A week ago, Murong Yanchao rebelled in Yanzhou. So Guo Wei sent Cao Ying to be the chief general to suppress the rebellion. But it was obvious that Cao Ying and the others were unable to settle the well-prepared Murong Yanchao. Everyone tried their best, but Yanzhou City was still as solid as a rock. There was no way. On May 5, Guo Wei went out of Bianliang City to personally fight. On the 13th, he arrived at the city of Yanzhou.

Guo Wei is good at psychological warfare and knows how to boost morale. It is a way to lead by example, but that is a bit stupid. If you want to die before you succeed, who will wipe your tears? It is good to make money, but you can only buy it for a while and cannot last long. After all, everyone is not stupid. They know that money is abandoned between money and life to save their lives. Then the rest is only based on self-confidence. Let the soldiers believe that we will win. But how to establish confidence? It is not necessarily useful to present the truth and tell the facts. After all, we are not Japanese devils. If we say that the two martial arts fortunes last for a long time, we can cultivate a large number of Kamikaze special attack teams. To establish confidence, we must actually start from fallacies and start from magical things. Guo Wei is obviously one of them.

Guo Wei had a dream. A god came to Guo Wei's dream and told him: The lord got into the car and drove back to Beijing on the second day of the month. After saying that, he floated away and left Guo Wei with an extremely beautiful imagination prospect. Ah? Can I win and return to Beijing on the second day of the next month? Is this the dream of the gods entering Guo Wei, or is Guo Wei's dream of the gods entering the immortals? I can't explain it clearly. The gods entering my dream tell me the truth. But Guo Wei told the generals this Ji Meng: Brothers, don't worry, the gods have already told me. We will definitely win, and it will be next month the second day of the next month.

The soldiers besieged the city were a little depressed. When they heard Guo Wei's words, they were all excited. It turned out that the god had also injected adrenaline into their bodies?

Murong Yanchao is far from this. He is a stingy person, which should be the biggest flaw in his rebellion career. Why did Li Congke succeed? Before he got the world, he would give people a blank note. Why did Shi Jingtang succeed? Not only did he want to give people money and land, but he could even be his son. Why did Guo Wei succeed? He could let the soldiers rob publicly for ten days! And Murong Yanchao pulled others to rebel with him, risking beheading and extermination of the clan, but he was reluctant to take out his savings to share a piece of the money to everyone to increase morale. Gradually, Murong Yanchao also noticed this serious problem. He seemed to have learned and became very generous. People all gave copper coins, and he directly sent silver. This was hard currency, not afraid of depreciation. After taking the money, everyone should work hard and beat Zhou Bing outside back to my hometown?

The country is easy to change, but nature is difficult to change. The stingy Murong Yanchao cannot become Shi Chong who spends money at once. These silvers are just fakes processed in his small copycat workshop. It is iron tire inside and some silver pieces are wrapped on the outside. Some of the soldiers who received the reward have worked in this copycat workshop and know the inside story. Now, the news of Murong Yanchao giving the rewards with fake silver and fooling the soldiers spread throughout Yanzhou. What will be the future of money with such a stingy boss? His morale has not aroused, but it has become even lower.

Murong Yanchao lost his foreign aid (thousands of reinforcements from Southern Tang were captured by Guo Wei and then released), and the internal soldiers lost their intention to fight again. All they left was a dead end. On May 20, Yanzhou City was captured. The stingy Murong Yanchao and his wife jumped into a well and died.

But on May 20, this is better than the second day of the next month than the gods, nearly ten days earlier than the second day of the next month. There was no way, in order to cooperate with that dream, Guo Wei had to count his fingers in Yanzhou to wait for the arrival of that day. On June 2, Guo Wei returned to the camp and it started to rain heavily as soon as he set off. Guo Wei thanked God for helping him fulfill this lie. He had a saying to the left: Look, the gods told us No. 2 to leave. If we don’t leave on June 2, we are afraid that we will be flooded on the road.

But who is that god? Guo Wei found the corresponding person. It was very close, just in Qufu near Yanzhou. There is a great saint here. If I don’t say it, everyone knows it. Saint Kong!

On June 1, 952, the day before departure, Guo Wei went to the Confucius Temple. As soon as he entered, he saw the statue of Confucius, Guo Wei suddenly realized: This is the god who predicted me in his dream! After reading history, I was a little confused. Confucius was in charge of reading, etiquette, play and sing. When did he control the war? But Guo Wei decided that he wanted to repay Confucius. "Confucius is a minister. He should not worship him as the emperor." "Confucius is a teacher of emperors for a hundred generations, dare not be disrespectful."

In conclusion, the Saint Kong was afraid that he would not have enjoyed such treatment for more than a hundred years. For more than a hundred years, warriors were rampant. They shouted that only the force of governing the world was only used, so they could use awls (brushes) to trample Confucian disciples to nothing. Guo Wei's move may mean that the era of Wushu Wenchang is coming, and the prosperity of Saint Kong is coming. Perhaps in a few decades, they will reach the peak and unprecedented height!
