"Have you ever heard of me, Guo Ning of Changzhou?" the young man asked curiously.
With this young man standing in front of him, Guo Yao'er felt a huge threat.
If an ordinary warrior were here, the reaction would not be so violent, but Guo Yao'er is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. The sensitivity he has honed on the battlefield allows him to clearly understand the murderous intent of this young man.
This young man's movements were leisurely, but he seemed to be about to explode at any moment. What shone in his eyes was that he had taken many lives under his hands, and he treated them like chickens and dogs!
It turns out he is Guo Ning from Changzhou!
Such a character is worthy of being a ruthless character who struggled in the fighting of the Mongolian cavalry. It is no wonder that many soldiers from all over the place mentioned his name, so that Xiao Haohu regarded him as a thorn in his side. It is no wonder that after this man was frustrated, he rushed to Anyang overnight.
Guan cut off Xiao Haohu's head, but Xi's army, which consisted of hundreds of soldiers, did not even dare to stop him!
Such a person is like a man-eating tiger entrenched in the Xijun River, which will definitely cause a big trouble. Tang Kuo was sure to hit it right this time!
As for the current situation, it is also clear that this Guo Ning is not an ordinary man, but an invisible leader with great appeal in the defeated army. Originally, the defeated soldiers were scattered all over the place, each seeking survival, like a ball of scattered sand, but once someone rashly
If you attack these defeated soldiers, you will definitely provoke this evil tiger.
After all, Marshal Yang's grasp of the subtle situations in various places in Hebei was not as good as when he was in Shandong, when he planned to capture Guo Ning with a small number of men to stabilize Tang Kuo's joint attack... It was too much.
This person easily gathered his strength and captured Ji Junli's headquarters, and now he wants to negotiate terms with me...
What does he want from me?
In any case, if his conditions are detrimental to Marshal Yang, then it must not be done!
Thinking of this, Guo Yao'er forced himself to calm down and sneered: "Guo Liulang, I won't hide it from you. You killed people randomly in Gaoyangguan, Anzhou, and now it's happened!"
Guo Ning was stunned for a moment: "It's true that we killed a few people, but what if it happened?"
"You dare to touch the imperial officials without permission. The crime is not small. Now you gather a crowd to confront the imperial army? My family is stationed in Dingxing, the headquarters of the Shuntian Army Jiedu Envoy in Baozhou, and the Yongding Military Festival in Xiongzhou.
All the envoys and subordinates will send out troops to destroy you and others! Guo Liulang, I know your name and methods, but I advise you not to regret it when you are cornered!"
It has to be said that Guo Yao'er is really a smart man. Even in this embarrassing situation, he tried his best to maintain his momentum. As a veteran officer, he also displayed a certain dignity.
But Guo Ning couldn't help laughing.
Unlike Yang An'er's unit, Guo Ning can be regarded as half a host in the Hebei states. He knows all the details of the surrounding states' armies and Yang An'er's unit, so Guo Yao'er's threats are particularly ridiculous.
He smiled happily for a long time, and Guo Yao'er couldn't help but get angry: "Guo Liulang, why are you laughing?"
"The bragging I am laughing at is too fake."
Guo Ning shook his head: "The Baozhou Shuntian Army was annihilated by the Mongolian army at the North Mountain of Yehuling the year before last. The Shuntian Army's military commander Jiagu Asa was killed on the spot. I even saw his head with my own eyes.
Since last year, Baozhou's grain-shooting army, prison army and even the local soldiers under the inspection team have all been transferred to the Xuande front line. Now there are no more than two hundred men in Baozhou city who can fight. Mei, the acting Jiedushi
He is just a beggar, a mediocre scholar who can only collect money."
Guo Jie'er said "Hey", waiting to say something.
Guo Ning ignored him and continued: "As for the Yongding Army in Xiongzhou, there were originally many elite soldiers. But last year, the imperial court organized an army of one million to rescue Datong Prefecture in Xijing, and the Yongding Army was the backbone of it. Later, they were defeated in the first battle.
There are more than 2,000 infantry and cavalry, but not a hundred can come back. At this time, Bode Zhangnu, who is temporarily acting as the Yongding Army, is afraid of chaos in the country, so how can he have the spare strength to send troops?"
"As for the Tiewa Ganzhan Army stationed in Yongxing, Zhuozhou..." Guo Ning stared at Guo Yao'er and said slowly: "Do you think I don't know Yang Dutong's plan?"
Guo Yao'er's face changed slightly, and he said reluctantly: "I don't understand what Guo Liulang said."
Fortunately, Guo Ning didn't worry about this. He just said contemptuously: "In short, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Guo Ning turned to ask Guo Jie'er: "These are the only threats you can use to threaten me and my brother Pao Ze. However, the soldiers who retreated from northern Xinjiang to Hebei are distributed in Zhuo, An, Xiong, Bao and Ansu.
Do you know how many people there are in the state and how many departments they are divided into?"
Yang An'er dared to attack defeated troops in various places, so he had naturally paid great attention to this information. Guo Yao'er was his confidant, and he also knew the information that Yang An'er knew. But Guo Yao'er snorted coldly and said nothing, all because
No matter what, he will never know the situation better than Guo Ning.
Just listen to Guo Ning continue: "Do you know how many of these people are warriors who have been in frequent conflicts and fought with powerful enemies for more than a hundred rounds? How many of these people are because of Yang Dutong's attack?
Do you know how many of these people have already prepared their troops and are about to send troops to Dingxing County to demand justice from Yang An'er and put your heads on the line? Do you know?
Do you know how many people came to the Gucheng store with me?"
When he said this, Guo Ning's voice became fierce, and murderous intent suddenly arose.
The two servants behind Guo Yao'er were forced by his ferocious expression. They took a step forward at the same time and drew their swords on guard.
The next moment, two arrows flew from the dark night and pierced deeply into the ground a few feet in front of him.
Guo Jie'er looked back at the servants, telling them not to panic, and then turned back.
Facing Guo Ning's loud scolding, he remained silent for a long time, and then said: "Guo Liulang, just now you said that we are here to negotiate terms. If you want to talk, let's talk; if you want to fight, I, Tie Wa, dare to fight and the army is willing."
Please accompany me."
Guo Ning looked at Guo Zhan'er.
This most senior officer in the army is short in stature and has a face full of wrinkles. Under the illumination of the surrounding pine torches, his face has deep lines, like cracked earth, so that no matter what his true expression is, outsiders cannot see it.
What a change.
Whether what Guo Ning said can shake this person's judgment is hard to say.
It is true that Guo Ning is familiar with the surrounding situation. But Yang An'er suddenly launched an attack, and the defeated troops in various places responded hastily. For a while, it did not form the menacing momentum Guo Ning said. Just as Guo Jie'er was bluffing in order to deceive, Guo Ning
Ning is the same.
Since Guo Jie'er is not wavering at all, he has some things to say, so there is no need to say them too much.
After all, these are troubled times, and human life is the lowest value. Many people do not take their own lives seriously. The routine of rebellion and the routine of coercing the rebellious people have been the same for thousands of years. Guo Ning cannot demand so much from Yang An'er.
He is soft-spoken and courteous.
To take a step back, the goal of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army is to rebel. Their enemy is the entire Dajin court. Guo Ning even regards them as the precursors of his own forces to enter Shandong in the future. It would appear that if he gathered his strength to fight a fierce battle with them at this time,
He was so loyal to his family that he allowed the imperial court to take advantage of him.
Guo Ning stretched out two fingers and slowed down his tone: "Two conditions."
"Speaking."
"Firstly, Han Renqing of Guchengdian is a close colleague of mine. I know that his companions, relatives, and those trapped in Guchengdian, as well as some of my subordinates, please release them. Secondly,
From today on, any action of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army cannot cross the line between Guchengdian and the Qihe River. Within Zhuozhou, if soldiers from northern Xinjiang flee south with their families, the Tiewa Ganzhan Army cannot stop them."
Guo Ning withdrew his two fingers and clenched them into fists: "If we do these two things, we will return your forty-six prisoners. The two families will have nothing to do with each other from now on. If you want to rebel, just do it."
Guo Yao'er lowered his head and thought for a long time. When he raised his head again, his expression was one of helplessness.
"The second condition is not something I can decide. If you are willing, Guo Liulang, and you are still here in the Gucheng shop one day later, we will send out a person of sufficient importance to have a detailed discussion with you."
This was expected. Guo Ning smiled and nodded: "So, what's the first condition?"
"It can't be done."
"What?"
"Han Renqing's subordinates, eleven members of his clan, and four of your subordinates were killed by us just now when they tried to escape." Guo Yao'er sighed.
Those fifteen people were naturally killed by Yang You.
There was no hatred between the Tiewagang Army and the forces of the defeated troops, so they would not have acted like this in the first place. Moreover, Marshal Yang hoped to gather the defeated troops for his own use. Even if he attacked everywhere yesterday, killing people was only a means of intimidation, not the purpose. But
Jiulangjun was used to being arrogant and only wanted to strike quickly, rarely thinking too much. Who would have thought that at this time, fifteen lives would become an obstacle between the two families?
Guo Yao'er had thought about hiding it, but he couldn't hide it for long. Guo Liulang was not easy to get along with, and there was no chance of causing trouble again. So, it was better to tell him frankly.
Since Guo Ning has conditions to negotiate, there is room for maneuver. As for the prisoners, they are just small figures. Is it possible that Tie Wa dares to fight against the army and is afraid of owing this extra life?
When he said these words, Guo Ning frowned and asked word by word: "Kill them all? No one left alive?"
Guozhao'er nodded.
"well."
Guo Ning suddenly turned around, returned to the huddled captives in two steps, and pulled out the iron bone flower hanging from his waist with his backhand.
The next moment, Tieguduo fell down with strong wind, and with a muffled "pop" sound, it smashed the brains out of one of Ji Junli's subordinates.
Guo Yao'er never thought that this person would turn against him so quickly, without any sign at all! This guy's temperament is really like that of a tiger or a wolf!
He was almost dumbfounded, watching Guo Ning wave the Iron Bone Flower, once, twice, three times. Each time, there was a head of a soldier who was familiar with Guo Yao'er and was the backbone of the Iron Wagang Army.
He burst into pieces and died. The bound soldiers nearby all roared and twisted, trying to avoid it.
There are only a few hundred such soldiers under Marshal Yang. If they were placed in Shandong, everyone could be an officer! How could he die... die so easily! Guo Yao'er's eyes were almost split open.
When Tie Guduo was about to swing for the fourth time, he suddenly took two steps forward and shouted: "Slow down!"
How could Guo Ning wait for him? The iron bone hammer fell down with a loud bang, and another person was killed.
Guo Ning wiped the blood spattered on his face with his left hand, raised Tieguduo with his right hand and pointed at Guo Yao'er: "Kill these four first and save the life of my subordinates. Go back and find someone who can take charge tomorrow. Come here
