Guo Ning held his forehead and smiled bitterly, and said repeatedly: "Go and have a look... control your general, don't let anyone die!"
Li Ting's followers responded in succession and seemed to be running away.
When Li Ting was in Laizhou, he was often involved in unclear things, so Guo Ning brought him to Liaodong. Firstly, he let him relax, and secondly, he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade him a little and let him
Know how to converge.
He didn't expect the result to be like this. As soon as the soles of Guo Ning's feet touched the ground in Liaodong, before he even took two steps, Li Ting caused trouble in front of him.
Under Ding Haijun's tent, the dignified commanders of the capital fought with people in the port he built. It was really a shame that Li Ting could do such a thing. If you want to talk about frivolity, this guy is ten times more frivolous than Guo Ning. Guo Ning is more important than Li Ting.
In front of Ting, he was as steady as a wooden stake.
But despite Li Ting's temperament, he was not a villain. When he had conflicts with people in Laizhou, even if he drank too much and went crazy, he would just treat himself as a rogue and deal with people in the same way as a wandering teenager in Zhongdu.
Even if sometimes he is outnumbered, suffers a loss, or is beaten to a bruised face, he has never bullied others.
Once, he was unable to make a deal with a few ordinary soldiers. Later, he deliberately followed the military government's process of transferring soldiers and transferred that group of soldiers to his own camp for proper training.
Guo Ning felt that this was ridiculous, and asked Zhao Jue to come forward to investigate, fearing that the soldiers would be wronged. In the end, the soldiers were actually happy and happy, which was surprising.
For this reason, Guo Ning was not in a hurry. Li Ting's followers rushed over quickly, while he and his own bodyguards lagged behind.
The entire port was built from scratch, and there are inevitably some imperfections. Walking along the trestle and approaching the land, you can see that the village walls are quite messy, extending from the inland to the seaside. There are watchtowers along the wall.
Not many, most of them were built in a hurry, using untreated logs.
Across a stream outside the village, there is a flat and open meadow. The meadow is surrounded by fences, which is probably where the pasture is. And outside the fence, there are some yellow-haired, ghost-like savages, holding axes and constantly cutting down.
Forest trees, transport the wood back to the village.
Guo Ning recognized all the generals who were busy in the village. They did not notice the fleet. They were leading people with serious faces, cutting the whole wood into gun shafts, or making simple shields.
"What are you doing?"
Ni Yi also noticed this situation: "I see that there is something wrong with the atmosphere near the dock and the village. Is this preparing for war? Commander, do you want me to go and ask?"
"No need, let's go to Li Erlang's side first." Guo Ning quickened his pace.
As soon as I stood at the gate of the fortress, before I even stepped in, I saw Li Ting in the middle of the courtyard, like a fighting cock, with red eyes glaring at someone fiercely.
"That's Li Yun! That's my brother! It's because of the complicated situation in Liaodong that Guo Liulang asked you to lead the troops here... As a result, you just watched my brother fall into the hands of thieves and did nothing?"
Did something happen to Li Yun? Guo Ning was a little surprised. Looking ahead, the person who was stared at and scolded by Li Ting was Zhang Qian, the general who had been assigned by Guo Ning to lead his troops to guard this area.
The corners of Zhang Qian's eyes were black and green, and he looked very embarrassed. He thought he had been beaten severely by Li Ting, so several of the soldiers behind him looked unhappy, and some were even particularly angry. They had already pressed the handle of the knife with their hands, muttering curses in their mouths.
What.
Zhang Qian's face was quite calm. He stood steadily. Except when he heard the soldiers around him being too restless, he turned his head and looked back. When the soldiers shut up, he withdrew his eyes. Other than that, he made no unnecessary movements.
This young general was also a well-known irritable figure in the army. Last time he was punished by Guo Ning for being lax in his subordinates, and then he was transferred to Liaodong. Looking at his current appearance, even though it has only been ten days
, but it seems that he has gone through some tempering and has changed a bit. At least, he can calm down.
"We have done what we should do, and we have just reported it to General Li. If you don't think clearly, I will say it again!"
Zhang Qian said in a deep voice: "It was four days ago that Judge Li lost contact with us. We sent a capable team of flying cavalry to investigate and confirm his whereabouts. It took three days. Several knights took the risk of fighting, and it took three days.
The round trip is 500 miles a day, and it’s very hard to track down the traces. It’s those few! I have already agreed to ask for credit on their behalf.”
He pointed at several soldiers behind him. The soldiers immediately raised their heads and raised their chests.
Zhang Qian continued: "As for Judge Li's whereabouts, it is currently roughly presumed that it is heading towards Xianping Prefecture. There are pieces of cloth and small objects scattered along the way as evidence. It was obviously left behind intentionally by Judge Li and his party. It cannot be
It’s fake.”
"Where are the things?" Li Ting asked.
"I've asked someone to get it immediately. General Li, please wait a moment and you can inspect it."
Li Ting hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "What about the Xianping Mansion?"
"A few days ago, the Northeast Xuanfu envoy Pu Xianwannu sent an urgent report, saying that the Khitan Yelvliu brother had raised an army of 100,000 to attack Xianping. The momentum was earth-shattering. He sincerely requested troops from Fuzhou, Gaizhou and other places to quickly support him.
.Our army is small and we cannot get involved in the chaos in Liaodong at will. Therefore, I informed Shi Liehuanduan, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou, about the matter and gave generous gifts to his subordinate Qianhu Wuyanboha."
"Wuyan Boha? Where is this man from? What's the big deal?"
"After the Khitan Yelvliu Ge rebelled, he established Guangning Prefecture as his capital, and then Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, was destroyed by a military disaster. At this time, the two important towns that controlled the Khitan rebels were Dading Prefecture in the west and Xianping Prefecture in the east. Once
If the Xianping Prefecture is lost, Brother Yelvliu will emerge like a tiger and move across the entire northeastern interior. Therefore, Heshi Liehuanduan has urgently mobilized his troops and horses to support the Xianping Prefecture. Wuyan Boha is the chief general of the Fuzhou reinforcements. We
If anyone here can arrive at Xianping Mansion and inquire about Judge Li’s whereabouts, it must be Wuyanbo’s command.”
Li Ting said nothing.
Zhang Qian added: "We have also made preparations ourselves. Two hundred soldiers are staying at Hesihan Pass, and we have gathered all the wild Jurchens recruited these days to urgently add city defense facilities. In addition, we have ordered 300 elite soldiers and horses.
Five hundred, as well as food, fodder and military supplies, to make preparations for subsequent contingency. When General Li came in, I was discussing the route to the north. The people we discussed with me were six lieutenants and twelve team members who were ready to act at any time.
...Three of them were punched and kicked by your General Li."
"Hey!" Li Ting nodded.
"My response was roughly in accordance with the procedures described in the military academy. I did not dare to exceed the rules, but I did not slack off. We have also written detailed military reports on these situations and ordered the speedboat to cross the sea and report to Laizhou urgently. Of course, due to headwinds,
Because of the relationship, it takes five days to cross the sea... Come to think of it, you missed the messenger and General Li, but this does not mean that the defense officers and soldiers in Liaodong are incompetent, or that I, Zhang Qian, deliberately delayed."
Zhang Qian said this in one breath and took two deep breaths. It was obvious that he was extremely angry when Li Ting suddenly broke in and made a fuss, but he was just suppressing it because of concerns about military law.
Li Ting thought for a long time.
Zhang Qian was a subordinate of Guo Zhongyuan and a direct subordinate of Xiao Mo Le, not a subordinate of Li Ting. He also knew Guo Ning, and his brother still died heroically in the battle, and he was very stubborn. Li Ting impulsively fought, and then discovered Zhang Qian's
There was no oversight in the response, and I knew something was wrong.
What's more, Guo Ning is following behind... isn't this a taboo violation in person?
At this time, several soldiers came out of the backyard, each holding a plate in their hands. What Zhang Qian said should be the pieces of cloth and scattered small objects scattered along the way to Xianping Mansion.
"General Li, do you want to take a look?" Zhang Qian asked.
"No need."
Li Ting let out a heavy breath and bowed deeply to Zhang Qian: "Just now I heard that my brother-in-law was in trouble, and I got so angry that I lost my mind. It was all my fault that I rushed in to scold him just now."
Li Ting raised his head and looked at the bruise on Zhang Qian's face: "This punch was really hard, and the few punches and kicks I gave the soldiers just now were not appropriate. I will buy you a drink to make amends when I have some free time in the future."
"Invite you to a drink? You don't dare to accept it." Zhang Qian also has a temper after all: "You are the commander of the capital and the right-hand man of our Commander-in-Chief. We unknown people are only meant to be beaten."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Li Ting felt a fire burning in his heart and couldn't suppress it. Hearing what Zhang Qian said, he sneered and acted like he was settling down.
He pointed at his face: "Zhang Qian, if you are not angry, just give me a punch and come here! What's the matter? I can get rid of it with just one punch. I, Li Erlang, dodge half a moment and frown, so I am not a good man."
!”
"real?"
Li Ting frowned: "When Li Erlang, the capital of Zhongdu, speaks, every spit is like a nail! Can there be any lies?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qian punched Li Ting in the face.
"If I am being bullied, that's fine. This punch is for the soldiers under my command!"
The punch was very forceful and hit Li Ting right on the bridge of his nose. Li Ting immediately burst out with blood. Although his nose was not crooked, it was as if a soy sauce shop had been opened in his two nostrils. It was salty, sour and spicy.
get out.
As expected, Li Ting didn't hide, he covered his nose and just shouted: "Good fight!"
Guo Ning shook his head and strode into the door.
"Okay! This one punch is enough! Let's get down to business!"
