Dengzhou is a branch county of Laizhou. After Guo Ning arrived in Shandong, Geng Ge completely ignored him. This was because he was Yang An'er's important ally in Dengzhou. As the governor of Dengzhou, he also provided food and supplies for Yang An'er.
An important protective link for reserves.
At that time, Yang An'er's army was already in full swing. Geng Ge and Shi Poli of Ninghai Prefecture had secret meetings day and night, and they were working hard. How could they be interested in paying attention to Guo Ning, an outsider? He was expected to lose his footing in a hurry and would be wiped out by Marshal Yang's army.
Who would have known that this foreigner was a ferocious tiger. Three to five days after entering Laizhou, Xu Ruxian and others who had a close relationship with Yang An'er in Laizhou were all wiped out. Then the Mongolian army that rampaged across the Central Plains was invaded, but Guo Ning repulsed it.
At this point, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture are located in the easternmost section of the Shandong Peninsula, facing the sea to the east and Laizhou to the west. Guo Ning established a foothold in Laizhou and blocked the connection between Dengzhou, Ninghai Prefecture and Yang An'er.
With the arrival of the Mongols, the Jin army's strength in Shandong was greatly reduced, and Yang An'er had a good opportunity to raise troops. But what should Geng Ge and Shi Poli do?
Are they still raising troops? Are they still rebelling? If they are still raising troops to respond, then Guo Ning’s troops will no longer have the Mongols to restrain them. How can they resist their cavalry attack?
Geng Ge wholeheartedly planned for Yang An'er's great cause, but in the end, he encountered such a thing, and he couldn't help but tossing and turning, worried. So this time Yang An'er gathered a group of heroes in Moqi Mountain, Geng Ge also rode Jian Cong to the meeting, trying to get along with Yang An'er
Let's discuss a solution privately.
Unfortunately, when he and Yang An'er went out to meet Liu Erzu, they were rushed in by Guo Ning's Qingqi and surrounded him. When Guo Ning turned back, Yan Ning, the Juzhou accuser in the queue, recognized Geng Ge again.
The capture of a Dengzhou governor who had turned into a traitor was an unexpected surprise of this trip, and there was no reason to let him go.
Guo Ning immediately smiled and said to Yang An'er: "So Geng Shijun is also a guest at Moqi Mountain? When I returned, I happened to be on the way, so I asked Geng Shijun to return with me."
In the situation at that time, how could Yang Aner dare to say no? Geng Ge did have some opinions, but who would listen to him?
So he followed Guaizima Qingqi on the road in a daze, without even taking his own servant with him.
Even though he rode for a long time, no one paid attention to him. When he set up camp and started the stove, everyone was busy, and Geng Ge could only sit there.
This was of course Guo Ning's deliberate order.
It's not that he is a petty person, but he hopes that Geng Ge is a smart person who can understand the change of status and can think clearly about the gap in strength.
What Geng Ge was honoring was nothing more than his status as the governor of Dengzhou. But the situation in Shandong is like this, and all parties have their own plans. The official positions of governor and military governor are all empty. Everyone speaks with strength, and the stronger will be.
If your voice is loud and your strength is weak, just surrender honestly and there is nothing to worry about.
Seeing that Guo Ning was still polite to Geng Ge, Ni Yi took a soup bowl and put it in front of Geng Ge, and handed him two pieces of scones.
Geng Ge followed the others on a long journey, and was very nervous along the way. By now he was really hungry, so he picked it up and wolfed it down.
At this moment, Guo Ning said: "There are a few rules that I need to explain clearly to Geng Shijun."
Geng Ge quickly swallowed the pancake in his mouth and said, "Commander, please tell me."
"First of all, we will not interfere with Governor Geng's daily governance in Dengzhou in the future. But if our army launches military camps, civilian camps, or other measures in Dengzhou, you cannot interfere. And Governor Geng's control of the local area
Governance cannot conflict with the general policy of Ding Haijun. If it can cooperate with it, that would be better."
Geng Ge is a smart man, otherwise he would not have been suspected of colluding with Yang An'er and served as governor in Shandong. Guo Ning's request was not particularly excessive. A strong enough military governor would have
You can control the branch counties in this way.
Geng Ge nodded slightly and remained silent, waiting for Guo Ning to continue.
"Secondly, I've heard that Governor Geng has a good reputation in the local government. That's good. So Ding Haijun will give you the corresponding status and courtesy. You can talk about anything between the two families. Don't worry about us.
It’s unreasonable. And we also need your cooperation when dealing with the imperial court, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army on Shandong Road, and the Commissioner of Inspectors.”
"This is a matter of course."
"Thirdly, you and I are not loyal ministers of the imperial court, so we can speak openly. I don't know why you chose to stand with Yang An'er..."
Geng Ge opened his mouth and when he was about to speak, Guo Ning stopped him.
"But I think, Governor Geng, you can watch carefully in Dengzhou. If you care about the people, you will see that the life of the people in Laizhou will only get better and better; if you care about the rebellion, the overthrow of the Jurchen government
, you will see this court coming to an end; if what you care about is personal income... As long as Dengzhou and Dinghai navy maintain cooperation, you will continue to gain something, and what you get will definitely be more than what Yang An'er gave."
Around the bonfire, everyone was silent.
Guo Ning stared at Geng Ge and said slowly: "So, please be patient and watch. Within a year or two, many things will come to fruition. You will find that following Ding Haijun is the only correct choice."
Guo Ning's eyes reflected the light of the bonfire, and his calm face revealed strong self-confidence. In Geng Ge's view, even if he was sitting down, the Dinghai Commander still looked tall, with a straight back and a straight body.
He has a steady and powerful appearance and extremely broad shoulders. He is obviously a brave warrior with unparalleled physical strength. But he is not the kind of warrior who is always rough and fierce. When he talks, his tone is very gentle and his words are methodical.
Geng Ge grinned and chuckled: "Two years a year?"
"Exactly."
"What if the situation changes in other ways by then?"
Guo Ning smiled and said: "If the situation does not go according to my judgment, I will be the one who is in trouble, and it will no longer be you, Geng Jishi... What are you doing for me with this leisure time?"
Geng Ge took a deep breath: "In such a turbulent world, we can't control much. If Guo Jiedu can really make Dinghai Navy's jurisdiction stable for a year or two, it will be good."
"Then, is it settled?"
Geng Ge turned sideways and bowed as if he were looking at his superior.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
Guo Ning took a wild goose leg and tore it apart, and said in a deep voice: "Wugu Lun Rongzu is the governor of Ninghai Prefecture, and Shi Poli is the rich man of Ninghai Prefecture. My requirements for both of them are the same as those of Geng Prefecture. Please also ask Geng.
The governor will convey it to me."
"Yes." Geng Ge bowed his head.
Raising his head, he couldn't help but ask: "What if the two of them are unwilling to cooperate?"
"Then you don't have to worry about it, Governor Geng." Guo Ning said casually, "I have plenty of ideas."
At this time, on Moqi Mountain, Yang An'er was entertaining a group of wealthy people at a banquet.
Although the village is not a prosperous city, Yang An'er has always been generous and has already purchased many delicacies and fine wines. There is also a team of specially purchased female musicians who dance seductively in front of the hall.
At first, the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit serious, but as everyone got more drunk, Yang An'er's subordinates and Liu Erzu's subordinates toasted each other, and gradually started to eat and drink happily.
The initial seriousness was unavoidable. Today, Ding Haijun Guo Ning showed up, which greatly destroyed everyone’s prestige. Who among everyone present didn’t feel the burning pain in their cheeks? It would be strange if they could open their minds and have fun at this time.
.
But while eating and drinking, everyone slowly came to understand a truth.
Guo Ning drove hundreds of miles away. Except for a few sentries who tried to stop the cavalry attack, he didn't kill anyone at the foot of Moqi Mountain. This important general of the imperial court obviously had a real friendship with Marshal Yang!
It seems that after officially raising the army, it is really good not to have to fight with such powerful cavalry.
Some people were thinking like this in their hearts, but they didn't want to lose their momentum outside, so they got drunk and continued to scold Guo Ning, an outsider, for being arrogant, arrogant, and even more frivolous and fruitful. If he cooperates, it will be fine. If there is anything
Other thoughts will sooner or later be defeated by Marshal Yang and Marshal Liu. When the time comes, everyone will be able to vent their anger without hanging their heads.
Just as he was speaking happily, the leaders sitting at the top all stood up to stop him.
"Ahem, there's no need to say it like that. It's best if the two families don't invade each other."
"Huh? Can't you say it? Are you afraid of Guo Liulang?"
Those leaders were all surrounded by Guo Ning's Qingqi. What kind of agreement Yang An'er and Guo Ning had reached, others didn't know, but they knew it. At that moment, everyone said: "You are drunk!
Go and rest!"
The drunken man shook his head in disapproval and squinted at the host's seat and the guest of honor seat, but could not find Yang An'er or Liu Erzu.
It seems that the two big leaders have other important matters and have gone elsewhere to discuss them.
He suddenly lost interest, picked up the wine bottle, grabbed a pig leg, and staggered out.
