"Are you a loyal minister of the imperial court?"
Hearing these words, Heshi Liehuan cursed in his heart.
His martial arts skills are very good and he has been on the battlefield for a long time. The more so, the more he understands how embarrassing the situation is.
Due to the sudden loss of 2,500 elite soldiers, the city defense inside and outside Dutong Mansion and even Fuzhou City was full of loopholes. The soldiers who were supposed to be on duty at the main gate were broken through by these cavalry, and it was like kicking paper apart.
The sticky door didn't hinder me in the slightest.
Heshi Liehuanduan himself, if surrounded by these iron cavalry, would not be able to hold on for a breath. He doesn't even have armor on his body, and he will be chopped into pieces soon. But the iron cavalry are in front of him, and they all look at him eagerly to see what this means.
, if the answer is wrong, they will kill someone on the spot.
Not to mention that Guo Ning is here. This man has a bad reputation in Shandong, so there must be a reason for his sudden arrival here.
But this question seems to have no beginning and no end. How can I answer it?
Heshi Liehuanduan was not a reckless man. He saw that the situation was so difficult, and he knew that a man could bend and stretch, so he really didn't mind saying a word or two to Guo Ning. After all, the two families had done business before, and there was a scandal here in Fuzhou.
As for the three hundred horses... with this friendship, we can always save our lives first, right?
The question is, should you, Mr. Guo, make it clear first what your position is?
Do you want me to be a loyal minister or a traitor? Can you give me some hints?
My guess is that as a high-ranking military and political official in Shandong, you came to Liaodong without any warning, and even led an army to storm into my house with ferocity... Is this what a serious court official would do? Look at you.
This posture is probably due to a tacit understanding with Pu Xianwannu, so he caught the moment when our troops are at their weakest... You are definitely a rebel!
Then, would it be better if I said that I am also a rebel? Would you be satisfied?
In an instant, Heshi Liehuanduan had many thoughts running through his mind, and in the end he just sighed.
His body was slightly arched, his feet were stepped forward and backward, and his waist and waist were tight. This movement was conducive to pounce forward or dodge to the left and right, and was a fighting posture. But now, he stood up straight, and his hands were lifted from the handle of the knife.
opened.
"I am a Jurchen, and I was born as a conspirator in the Southwest Recruitment Department. After twenty years of military fighting, I won the position of governor. Da Jin treated me well, and I have no reason to abandon Da Jin. Guo Jiedu, I don't know you.
What are you thinking, but I, Shi Liehuanduan, am indeed a loyal minister of the imperial court."
After saying that, Heshi Liehuanduan almost felt the mocking looks of those armored cavalry. He felt the sunlight in front of the hall was dazzling and closed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, Guo Ning applauded vigorously: "Okay!"
Heshi Liehuanduan opened his eyes again.
"Okay!" Guo Ning clapped as he turned over and dismounted, the armor pieces on his arms clattering with his movements.
He took a step forward, took He Shi Lie Huanduan's arm, and said sincerely: "Great, Commander He Shi Lie, it turns out you are a loyal minister of Dai Jin! This is really great!"
"ah?"
Heshi Liehuanduan felt a little dizzy for a while.
In my ears, I could only hear Guo Ning saying slowly: "I heard that Pu Xianwannu was moving, and I was really anxious. I was afraid that there would be another unrest in the northeastern hinterland of Dajin, so I led my troops across the sea. I thought that the military and political officials in the Northeast
, will be more or less bewitched by Pu Xianwannu, and now it seems that at least there are loyal ministers like He Shilie Dutong!"
Guo Ning patted He Shi Liehuanduan's arm, used his warm tone, and said sincerely again: "This is really great!"
Heshi Liehuanduan exerted a little force on his arms, trying to break away from Guo Ning's hold, but was shocked to find that Guo Ning's hands were like iron pliers, unable to free him at all.
He also vaguely heard that there were large groups of cavalry galloping in the direction of several city gates in the distance, rushing in like a tide. It seemed that someone was shouting and trying to stop them, but failed.
Are there soldiers and horses entering the city? The navy is being ordered? What do they want to do? Do they want to seize my Fuzhou? Since he praised me as a loyal minister, why did he come out like this?
He was a little confused. He opened his mouth and stopped talking. He just stared at Guo Ning blankly.
Wendy Han, a green dog beside her, struggled to stand up and joked again and again: "Yes, yes, that's great, that's great... Ahem, Guo Jiedu, to tell you the truth, I am also a loyal minister of Daikin!"
Guo Ning laughed loudly: "Both of them are loyal ministers of Dajin, but Pu Xianwannu is a traitor, right?"
This is true. There is really no explanation for Pu Xianwannu's series of actions. There is no doubt that he is a traitor.
He Shi Lie Huanduan and Wendy Han Qing Gou both nodded.
"Then, please ask He Shilie to lead the army and raise an army to attack the rebels, okay?"
Wendy Han Qing Gou said repeatedly: "Okay, very good. I am willing to follow Guo Jiedu... eh?"
Guo Ning smiled kindly and said: "I am an official in Shandong, how can I take charge of the situation in Liaodong? Here in Liaodong, naturally the leader of the army is He Shilie. We will follow the commander He Shilie to attack the rebels."
"Okay, this is just as good! I am also willing to follow Heshi Liedutong to defeat the traitors!"
Wendy Hanqing looked bearded, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and seemed to have a rough personality, but in fact he had an extremely soft body. He expressed his support to He Shi Liehuan without any words, then rolled his eyes and asked cautiously
: "This, what's the way to conquer it?"
Guo Ning said patiently: "I have a method that can calm down the chaos in one fell swoop, but it requires the full cooperation of both of you."
Just as he said this, two people climbed up on the left courtyard wall of the Dutong Mansion. Someone shouted: "Thieves! Let my Dutong go quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, the Ding navy officer who had already occupied the high place in the courtyard opened his bow and fired. Several long arrows whizzed out, and the two men were hit by arrows in vital parts, and they fell to the ground screaming.
"Everyone outside, please don't move! The person here is Guo Jiedu, Dingjun of Shandong Province. He is a good friend of me and Commander He Shilie! Please don't conflict anywhere!"
Wendy Han Qing Gou yelled twice, panting heavily and turned around and asked: "I have heard about Guo Jiedu's reputation for being brave and good at fighting. Since you said that you can quell chaos, you are somewhat sure. So, what should we do?
What’s a cooperative method?”
Guo Ning smiled slightly: "Two things."
"Speaking."
"The first thing is that Liaodong has been experiencing fierce wars and dangers for several years. Since the two of them are loyal ministers of Dajin, I really can't bear to see their family members take such risks, so I have arranged a ship
, please each of you hand over a few of your children and nephews to me, and I will make sure that they live a stable life in Shandong."
This is a hostage.
Wendy Hanqinguo's face changed slightly: "This is the first thing, what about the second thing?"
"I heard that two of them, especially the capable generals under the command of He Shilie, were killed by Pu Xianwannu in a trick. Fortunately, there are many capable generals in the Ding Navy. I plan to send hundreds of them.
, to assist you two in rebuilding your troops to fight against the rebels."
This is to control military power.
Wendy Han Qing Gou was silent for a moment: "Guo Jiedu, do you want to treat us two as puppets... When you sent someone to buy a horse, was this the intention?"
Guo Ning said sincerely: "One of the two is the governor of Fuzhou, and the other knows the affairs of Guangning Prefecture. They are both local officials. How can they be my puppets? If we can defeat Pu Xianwannu this time, we can re-stabilize the Northeast."
Given the current situation, the imperial court will definitely reward the two of them generously and use them in important ways, so they won’t be my puppets! And when I sent people to Fuzhou, I just wanted to buy horses, because Pu Xianwannu’s rebellious record was obvious.
, in vain to weaken the armed forces in the northeastern hinterland, and if you follow up, you will be severely attacked by the Mongols, which will affect the overall situation... I have to do it."
"So, what does Guo Jiedu hope to gain in Liaodong?"
"I just hope that Liaodong will not fall into the hands of the Mongols. And I am sure that the navy can safely do business here and traffic horses and furs under the care of you two."
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else."
"If Liaodong is pacified, military and political affairs will come up..."
"Except for the two items just now, I don't care about anything else."
Wendy Hanqinggu nodded.
Now that Pu Xianwannu has turned his back, the situation in Liaodong will only worsen. He and Heshi Liehuanduan are unable to stop it or protect themselves. If they insist on staying in Liaodong, they will soon be involved in chaos.
, and ended up miserable. If the two of them fled across the sea... and they had no legs to hug them in the court, and with the accusation of losing their troops and losing their territory, even if their heads were not lost, their career would be over.
What Guo Ning proposed was actually the best condition that Wendy Hanqinguo could imagine.
Guo Ning already wants very little. If it continues to be less, the Dinghaijun Jiedushi Envoy will really be busy in vain.
Heshi Liehuanduan raised his head and looked much calmer: "Guo Jiedu, I want to ask you something."
"Excuse me."
"Are you a loyal minister of the imperial court?"
Guo Ning let go of He Shi Liehuanduan's hand, looked around at the cavalry, and seemed to find this question a bit funny.
The cavalrymen also showed mocking looks. One cavalryman couldn't help but whisper: "He asked our commander if he was a loyal minister of the court, haha!"
The cavalry will shout: "Shut up!"
Guo Ning waved his hand to the scolded cavalryman, turned around and said simply: "I am now."
Yes now? Tell me what does this mean? Could it be that it won’t be the case in the future? This is too damn frank! In today’s world, can you speak so unscrupulously? Heshi Liehuanduan’s eyes widened.
Eye.
Wendy Hanqingguo winked wildly at He Shi Liehuanduan, and her lips moved rapidly.
The two are old friends. Heshi Liehuanduan couldn't hear the voice, but he could guess what he was saying quickly:
That’s enough! That’s enough to give you face, what else do you want? In this world, who can tell who is loyal or not! Last year, Zhongdu City was a river of blood, were those dead people loyal or not? Solve the immediate trouble first,
As for the rest, that's pretty much it! Don't seek death! Don't involve me!
Heshi Liehuanduan felt a little angry, but more disappointed. He sighed and said: "Guo Jiedu, you said there is a way to calm down the chaos. Can you tell us about this method?"
