After Guo Ning and others led their troops to retreat to the Xinqiao Camp in Anzhou, Yili Chucai rushed to Zhongdu with a capable manpower. The journey was three hundred miles and the return trip was another three hundred miles. It seems that Yili Chucai was in Zhongdu.
Everyone knew some important news, so they rushed back quickly. This was really hard work, even a strong man couldn't bear it!
Guo Ning raised his eyes quickly and saw that Yiza Chucai's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his usually neatly groomed beard was stained with mud and blood, making it look messy.
Looking at Yi La Chucai's robe, there were a few blood stains on it, and his posture when sitting on the horse was slightly stiff. Guo Ning was shocked, and regardless of Zhongdu's situation, he took Yi La Chu Cai's arm first:
"Where is Jin Qing injured? Is it important?"
Yizai Chucai felt a little moved and bowed: "The Mongolian army continues to advance eastward and has captured Fanyang in Zhuozhou. It is now confronting Shuhu Gaoqi's troops. At this time, sentries and cavalry are coming out from all directions, covering the west of Zhongdu.
There are many roads in the country. I hit a tidal wave on my way back and suffered some minor injuries, but it’s not in the way..."
At this point, he sighed: "It's a pity that several of the soldiers died in the battle."
Guo Ning nodded: "This trip is of great importance. If the soldiers who died in the battle have family members, they will be generously compensated."
He also knew that moving Chu materials to death was just a matter of course. The Khitan was a scholar, not a powerful general. Even if he had followers and good horses, he would definitely escape death if he ran into the Mongolian sentries.
Guo Ning's background was always too low, and he had no reputation outside the army, so he had very few available staff. But there were other possibilities, and Guo Ning would not send the Chu talents to Zhongdu at all.
However, what needs to be done must be done.
The Mongolian army invaded with great momentum. Everyone could see that the Great Jin Kingdom was on the verge of collapse. However, after all, the Great Jin Dynasty had been a country for a century, and the power at its disposal was still huge. Guo Ning and others were in chaos.
Only by grasping the key points can you navigate the chaotic situation and gain benefits step by step.
For this reason, the contact with Tu Danyi in Zhongdu City is crucial. Only by visiting Chucai in person can we understand the situation in Zhongdu and understand what Tu Danyi wants to do and how we should deal with it.
Du Shisheng asked anxiously from the side: "It's fine that Qing Jin is fine. What do you say to Shan Youcheng?"
"Tu Dan Youcheng said, he will not do anything that breaks the rules unless it is absolutely necessary. But please rest assured, Guo Langjun, and he will promote the king to the central capital as soon as possible."
After a pause, Chu Cai continued: "Since Zhuozhou has changed hands, the Mongolian troops on the west and north sides of the central capital are approaching step by step. The traffic on the two rivers of Lu River and Lugou River may not always be smooth. When the Mongolian troops are really approaching the city,
, it’s too late to do anything you want to do. Lang Jun, hurry up!”
"It seems that Tu Shan Youcheng is indeed sure." Du Shisheng murmured: "It's just that since Guo Langjun is unwilling to make this sword that a thousand people have pointed out... Who could Tu Shan Youcheng arrange for?"
?”
"I estimate that he is an old acquaintance of Guo Langjun."
Yi La Chucai smiled bitterly and said: "Three days ago, that is, on August 17, Tu Shan Youcheng suggested to the emperor to summon the generals to work together to deal with the crisis. This move was immediately fiercely opposed by Wanyan Zuocheng. And Wan Yan Zuocheng immediately opposed it.
The reason why Yan Zuocheng objected was not against Tu Dan Youcheng..."
Tu Danyi had long lost his strength in the army. Previously, Guo Ning set fire to the palace city of Zhongdu. In order to suppress this incident, Tu Danyi made a political deal with Wanyan Gang and placed him in the Wuwei Army and Weijie Army.
Even some of the strength of the Zhongdu Police Patrol Court was reduced and transferred to Wanyan Gang.
Therefore, when it comes to military affairs and important generals in the court at this time, there is only one person Wanyan Gang will be wary of.
"It's Hu Shahu, right?"
Guo Ning tugged at his mustache and laughed: "Hu Shahu was originally Wanyan Gang's powerful tool to suppress Tu Shan Youcheng, but now he has become a deeply feared enemy. Tu Dan Youcheng's
As soon as the memorial came out, Wanyan Gang would immediately use all his strength to suppress Hu Shahu to prevent any accidents. However, with Hu Shahu's unruly and arrogant temper, even the emperor did not pay attention to him, let alone Wanyan Gang? On the day of Wanyan Gang's suppression, he
It is Hu Shahu who is furious and will take revenge..."
Yi La Chucai then said: "Hu Shahu is the right deputy marshal and controls considerable power in the government. Once he does something, I am afraid that no one in the government can control it. Therefore, Prime Minister Tu Shan will need Guo Langjun's help even more.
I will definitely not be stingy with the reward afterwards.”
"very good."
Guo Ning nodded slightly. He had been on the battlefield for more than ten years, killing people without calculation, and he had a fierce murderous aura with him. But at this moment, although he was smiling happily, there was a bit of ferocious malice in his tone.
Chu Cai felt a chill in his heart.
The more familiar he is with Guo Ning, the more Yizai Chucai understands his talents and his boldness. In the final analysis, this gentleman is also an evil tiger. Is he more harmless than Hu Shahu? And Prime Minister Shan Shan is really capable
Control him?
A group of people were talking by the roadside, only two or three feet away from the queue of soldiers.
A sign leader was urging the soldiers to march along the road. He walked up to Guo Ning and others, took a breather and drank some water. Under the cover of the trees, he did not see the serious expressions of Guo Ning and others clearly. He only saw Guo Ning and his staff.
When they are chatting.
The sign-maker excitedly approached and asked: "Mr. Lang, we will arrive at Xin'an in half an hour. We have been traveling for several days, but we don't know where we are going?"
Many soldiers knew Guo Ning, and Guo Ning was also familiar with them. For example, this brand leader, Guo Ning remembered that his surname was Yu, and he was from Rouyuan County, north of Yehuling. He looked wrinkled and was about forty years old.
Shang Xia was actually only in his early twenties, but the wind, frost, hard work and repeated battles had brought them too much devastation.
Just like most of the soldiers in the army at this time, this brand leader named Yu also has a sad and tearful story.
On that day, the Jin army's defense line collapsed at the north entrance of Yehuling. The Mongolian army took the soldiers and civilians from the border forts as the vanguard and besieged Weihe Fort. This sign leader was one of the defenders of Weihe Fort, and his newlywed wife was
One of the people who was driven to attack the city died before his eyes.
Now, the brand owner named Yu looked at Guo Ning happily.
Of course they know the news from the outside world. When the Mongols come, they will bring massacres. The imperial court of Dajin is also in disgrace, and it is not worth the slightest expectation.
The way things are in this world, they don't care at all.
Their prematurely aging faces were covered with deep wrinkles, dust and dirt, and their eyes were cloudy. Only Guo Ning brought them a little light, making them believe that even in these dark years, the future was still worth looking forward to.
It's worth asking.
After so many years of fighting and fighting, Guo Ning has encountered countless dangers and lost countless relatives and comrades, and his heart has been tempered like stone.
He waved his hand to the sign head calmly: "Stop talking nonsense! Is this what you should ask? There will be a military order... We are going to a place where we can kill people happily!"
The brand owner laughed twice: "Okay!"
For him, this answer was enough.
Guo Ning knew that the pain of countless people abandoning their homes and careers and leaving their wives and children originated from the fiasco at Yehuling. The key to that fiasco was that Hu Shahu, the commander-in-chief of the army, abandoned his troops and fled first.
In the eyes of Guo Ning and the soldiers, the characters who rise and fall in the court are no different from pigs and dogs. No one cares about who goes up or down. But if Hu Shahu can take this opportunity to do something, Guo Ning Ning was particularly willing to intervene.
Last time outside Fanyang City in Zhuozhou, it was just a small greeting. But this time, in Zhongdu City, Guo Ning and the soldiers were very willing to seek justice from Hu Shahu for the wronged souls of countless soldiers in northern Xinjiang.
"Inform Miao Daorun, Zhang Rou and Jing Anmin of this news, and tell them who among them is willing to accompany me, who is willing to keep an eye on King Sheng, and who is willing to watch over the rear team, and make a decision within a moment. Two moments later, I will rectify the cavalry and march day and night... We are going to kill people."
