There was a clanging sound of armor behind him, and the servants stepped forward.
Guo Ning waved his hands to them: "No, you continue to guard Xuanhua Gate."
"How can it be done?" Ni Yi shouted.
Guo Ning laughed and said: "Why not? Go ahead!"
He is usually kind to people, but when he is in the army, he is very strict. At the Xijunhe camp that day, the heads hanging out of the gate of the central army at random were proof. At this moment, he seemed to be understatement, but the followers
I was so stunned that I didn't dare to follow him.
Dozens and hundreds of people both above and below the city watched Guo Ning pace slowly.
He stood in the center of the open space outside Xuanhua Gate and looked in all three directions: left, center and right. Then he went to the left first.
Guo Ning's troops entered the city at noon and killed Hu Shahu. It took more than half an hour, and it only took an hour to completely control the line from Xuanyao Gate to the palace.
On the contrary, later, all forces in Zhongdu City came forward to wipe out Hu Shahu's tribe, which took a full hour. These forces gathered in front of Xuanhua Gate one after another, and faced each other awkwardly, which lasted another hour.
It is now the turn of summer and autumn, and it is getting dark very late.
But these people couldn't help but moved too slowly. The sky was getting dark now, and another night was about to fall.
Late last night, Zhongdu City experienced a rare catastrophe. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came and went to fight. While fighting, they set fire, looted, massacred, raped, and destroyed. It was not until noon today that the city slowly
settle down.
But will this stability last forever? Or will military disasters break out again at night?
Most of the people couldn't tell clearly. They only knew that the man who led the troops into the city to massacre was the right deputy marshal Hu Shahu, and he was already dead. But later... the city was still in chaos, and no one came forward to restore order. On the contrary,
It was a group of ruffians who took advantage of the fire to rob, broke in in groups, laughed wildly, and acted wantonly.
This situation frightened everyone into panic. They could only hide in their homes fearfully and try their best to seal the door panels tightly. Even if it was dark, no one dared to light a lamp or start a stove, for fear that the light or smoke would arouse the attention of outsiders.
Note. Even if you want to cry, you can only hide in a dark corner of the room and dare not make a sound.
Only the inside and outside of Xuanhua Gate were brightly lit.
Behind each battlement, there were armored soldiers holding torches.
Guo Ning walked north along the city wall, occasionally looking up.
The soldiers on guard on the city wall looked at their commander with some worry. Someone waved to Guo Ning, and Guo Ning waved to them.
The soldiers were of course worried. In this strange situation, Guo Ning suddenly acted alone. No matter how you looked at it, it was not safe enough.
But Guo Ning was not nervous.
He is a man who has been born and died many times on the battlefield. If you include the time when he was ambushed in the reed swamps of Anzhou, he has already died once and then came back alive. After experiencing that, a person's mentality will be different from that of others.
It turns out it's different.
Safety and danger in Guo Ning's eyes are also different from those in ordinary people's eyes.
In his opinion, there is no absolute safety in this world. Especially in this kind of world, the more you seek safety and the more cautious you are, the easier it is to get lost and fall into dangerous situations; and the more bold you are, the more you dare to do
Things that ordinary people dare not do, and choices that ordinary people dare not think of, seem to be in danger.
That's why he pulled the big men in Hebei, controlled King Sheng, and found a strange thing to live in. Of course, the examples Du Shisheng gave them, those of Cao Cao, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Li Yuan, Zhu Wen, etc., were a little excessive.
.Du Shisheng, an old man, is deeply afraid of the world being in chaos and always wants to put things right.
But that's okay.
In such a world, only if you dare to think can you dare to do it. Once you make bold decisions and act boldly, you will find that those who seem strong and unshakable are actually already on the verge of collapse and will fall down at the first push.
And in this process, those who think they are smart people are the best to deal with.
At this moment, these parties are wary of each other. They all think too much and are timid. There has been no movement for an hour. In fact, there are some things and some pros and cons. What can I do if I think about it a thousand times or ten thousand times? Guo Ning doesn't have to do it at all.
Just think along with them and just do it.
Guo Ning was very sure that when he took action, none of these people would be able to stop him.
When Guo Ning raised his head and waved to his soldiers, Shuhu Gaoqi and his generals also raised their heads to watch.
They saw that the city's defenses under the firelight were well organized, with archers, crossbowmen, and spearmen all in their positions without any omissions. From time to time, officers would pass by with teams patrolling the city, giving orders along the way to be careful and alert.
It is already rare for an army to be like this on a daily basis. But it is even more difficult for them to win a battle and control the center of the Kingdom of Jin, and to be able to do this to this extent.
Shu Hu Gao Qi put himself in his shoes and thought that he probably had to allow the soldiers to rob him. Otherwise, he would be resented and would not be able to speak in the future.
The fact that the soldiers and horses in front of us can do this shows two things. First, this army has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely experienced from top to bottom; second, this army has a commander with a high prestige, who can
Orders and prohibitions.
Shuhu Gaoqi had just sent people to inquire about Guo Ning's deeds, and the more he knew, the more he sighed, this Changzhou Guo Ning is not simple!
If you think about it carefully, this old man, Tu Danyi, has been pretending to be a coward in front of Wanyan Zuocheng for several years, but he actually has such preparations? Thousands of elites are actually under the name of a white-clad leader of the defeated army? This old man
Don't worry, son!
What a great spirit, unfathomable!
For a moment, Shuhu Gaoqi was a little hesitant. The people he brought to Zhongdu City at this time were only ten thousand people. These ten thousand people were already selected troops who were good at fighting, but he himself was a general who commanded the army.
It can be seen that there is a gap between the elite level and equipment of his own troops and the thousands of people guarding the palace at this time.
Such a strong army can easily compete with the Mongolian army, right?
It's not that these soldiers under my command cannot be defeated, but... ahem, nine times out of ten they won't win.
Moreover, this marshal is not a lunatic like Hu Shahu.
The ups and downs in the court are all common. I came to Zhongdu to share the meat, not to offer myself to others. Therefore, it is still not possible to fight. Don’t use the knife and rely on words to gain benefits.
the best.
Look, the person who killed Hu Shahu, isn’t Changzhou Guo Ning here?
Coming alone seems quite sincere.
It seems that this person also knows that it is not good to show off his authority in front of the Marshal You Dujian, haha.
Might as well listen to what he wants to say.
Shuhu Gaoqi thought so, and got off his horse in advance. He watched Guo Ning approach and bowed.
"Are you Marshal Shuhu?"
This was not a very polite question, but the man in front of me had just personally organized the troops and horses to handle such a big event, and he was in full swing, so it was hard to criticize him.
"It's me, handsome!"
Shuhu Gao Qi nodded reservedly.
Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard Guo Ning say matter-of-factly: "Since you are Marshal Shuhu, that's fine. Come, I'll take you to see King Sheng."
this……
For a time, countless thoughts flashed through Shuhu Gaoqi's mind.
Go? Or not?
Is he really promoted to king? It seems that the opinion in the court has been decided?
If you want me to pay a visit, is this Tu Danyi’s intention or the promotion of the king?
There were so many high-ranking officials and nobles present, but no one else moved. I was called first. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
He was thinking too much and too hastily, and a large amount of hot sweat suddenly broke out from his forehead and hairline, passing through his eyebrows and eyelashes, making his eyes burning and painful.
Shuhu Gaoqi quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, but saw that Guo Ning still looked confident and a little impatient: "Marshal Shuhu, please come with me!"
It’s not a bad thing! It shouldn’t be a bad thing! If he really has any plans, how can Guo Ning be in such a posture? Isn’t he afraid of being swarmed by my soldiers and chopped into pieces?
Shuhu Gaoqi made up his mind.
He took a long breath: "Okay, okay! Guo... this..."
Guo Ning had no imperial responsibilities at all, so Shu Hu Gao Qi didn't know what to call him for a while. Fortunately, he got wise in his haste and laughed and said: "Liu Lang, let's go together!"
The leader of the guard behind him hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Marshal, don't move lightly!"
Shuhu Gaoqi glanced at him and hesitated slightly.
But he didn't want to lose face in front of Guo Ning, and he didn't want to make the future emperor and the future most powerful official in the court think that he was domineering, so he gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter, you guys wait here!"
The two of them turned back together.
Guo Ning was polite, and took a step forward several times to show his leadership. Shuhu Gao Qi thought, he was already here anyway, so why bother putting on airs? So he stepped forward and walked side by side with Guo Ning, chatting a few words casually.
, praising Guo Ning’s military exploits.
The two of them came slowly and returned to Xuanhua Gate. Along the way, many people heard Shuhu Gaoqi's words, so they all asked: "Did you hear that? This is Guo Liulang of Changzhou! This man
What's the origin? He is very familiar with Marshal Shuhu!"
A little further away, Tu Danyi could not believe his eyes as he watched Guo Ning swaggering up to Shuhu Gaoqi's headquarters, and then leading Shuhu Gaoqi out in a swaggering manner.
Shu Hu Gao Qi suddenly came to Zhongdu to stir up trouble. Tu Shanyi was worried that this was another Hu Shahu, so he planned to deal with this guy after everything was settled. But now...
"What's going on?" Tu Danyi asked sharply: "Is this Guo Ning... still a lobbyist?"
Chong Xuanzi also thought it was ridiculous: "I don't think he said a few words? Is Shuhu Gaoqi possessed by evil spirits?"
