Once the soldiers and horses control the city gate, the subsequent battle will go smoothly.
The military and political system established by Pu Xianwannu in Xianping Prefecture almost completely abandoned the original system of the imperial court, and purely based on the model of tribal lords, claiming to be the chief of the tribe, and using more than ten names as Meng'an, detailed
Stable, leading the military and political affairs separately.
In the past few years, with the concentration of his power, the civil and military officials sent by the imperial court, such as Quan Tongzhi Wen Dihan Gebu Ai, Quan Magistrate Pei Man, and Experience Officer Liang Chisheng, etc., have all been sidelined.
As a result, Pu Xianwannu could act without any scruples. But now, when his three adopted sons who were stationed in Xianping Prefecture were killed one after another, who in the city would stand up and take command?
I could hear the soldiers running rampant in the city shouting that Pu Xian and Wannu were rebelling, and the imperial army was quelling the rebellion.
With the imperial army and so on, no one in the Xianping Mansion can count on it anymore, but others don't know whether Pu Xianwannu has the intention to rebel. How can the people in the Xianping Mansion pretend not to know?
They may support Pu Xianwannu, or they may secretly oppose it, but no matter what, at this time, most of the famous officials stayed behind closed doors and never showed up.
As a result, the defenders of Xianping Prefecture fell into a state of fighting on their own, focusing on one thing at the expense of the other. In terms of personal force, these soldiers from various ethnic groups in the Northeast are quite brave. But the courage of ordinary people cannot fight against the establishment.
, an organized army.
When Li Ting's troops launched an offensive along the city wall and captured four gates, Ding Haijun continued to enter the city, and the defenders scattered everywhere were defeated. In less than an hour, all the warehouses, military camps, government offices and other buildings in the city changed hands, and the remaining troops were like
Like a headless fly, they were wandering around the city.
Guo Ning also sent a small group of troops to pursue them everywhere. A small number of Pu Xianwannu's elite troops fought to the end, but Zhao Jue, Zhang Qian and other generals came out to annihilate them. Heshi Liehuanduan relied on his local strength in Liaodong.
Prestige, he persuaded several remnants to surrender in succession.
By dawn, the entire Hampyeong Prefecture was calm and the war was over.
Several fires that had been lit to shock the enemy were put out one after another, and the people who had fled in all directions began to return to the ruins and pack up the remaining belongings.
As for appeasing the people, restoring order, rectifying and subduing the people, rearranging city defenses, etc., there are many veterans in the navy.
Guo Ning and He Shiliehuanduan walked side by side along the main road in the city and arrived at the gate of Pu Xianwannu's handsome mansion. This is where Pu Xianwannu has been stationed for the past few years, and it is also his comfortable home. Although Pu Xianwannu
They always claim to restore the vigorous and simple character of the Jurchens, but Guo Ning stood in front of the door and looked inside by the firelight. He saw several majestic and magnificent buildings, but they were not necessarily so simple.
Zhang Qian, wearing heavy armor, came out of the Commander's Mansion with clanging steps. He saluted and said, "This place has been cleaned up and all irrelevant people have been dispersed. Commander-in-Chief can move in at any time."
The so-called irrelevant people are nothing more than Pu Xianwannu's wives, concubines, children, and even hundreds of servants and maids.
Guo Ning once specifically ordered that the wives, concubines and children of Pu Xianwannu should not be treated harshly after being captured. They should find a place to lock them up and guard them closely. As for the servants and maids, they were not treated so well. The soldiers who first broke into the commander's mansion
They privately selected those with beautiful looks and graceful figures and divided them up a lot.
For the contemporary army, women, like money, food, and weapons, are a type of trophy. Guo Ning's family is not good at these things, but they are not demanding either.
However, when listening to Zhang Qian's report, Guo Ning did not move.
Zhang Qian secretly glanced at Guo Ning, his forehead was a little sweaty, and he quickly bowed and said: "In the handsome man's house, there is also a secret warehouse where Pu Xianwannu stores gold and silver treasures. This and this, there was a slight loss during the fight just now."
But generally everything is fine, I've sent people to seal it up and keep an eye on it."
Guo Ning still didn't move.
Zhang Qian raised his head again suspiciously, only to see Guo Ning half-turn around and look at a military camp to the east of Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
"That place is good!" Guo Ning said simply and neatly: "Zhang Qian, withdraw all your troops. Don't take those you shouldn't take with you. Come with me and station yourself at that military camp."
"This...obeys your order."
Guo Ning turned to He Shilie Huanduan: "He Shilie, Commander-in-Chief, I asked you yesterday, Xianping Prefecture is a treasure land, do you have any interest in it?"
Heshi Liehuanduan was surprised. He glanced at Guo Ning several times before asking, "Guo Jiedu, are you serious?"
Guo Ning nodded casually: "Of course. After taking Xianping Mansion, someone must guard it. Someone must replace Pu Xianwannu and stabilize the situation in Liaodong for the court. This person...can't be me, right?"
Heshi Liehuanduan exhaled heavily.
During this trip, he tossed and turned every day, always worrying that Guo Ning would go back on his word and seize Liaodong with the power of Laizhou's troops.
He is a local snake in Liaodong, and he is not afraid that Guo Ning will hurt his life if he doesn't keep his promise. What he is afraid of is that if the armies really start fighting on a large scale, the Mongols will definitely fish in troubled waters. By then, the navy's territory will be determined and that of Liaodong.
Being far away from the strait, it is inevitable that the remaining forces will not be able to continue, and Heshi Liehuanduan himself became the sinner of instigating internal strife, causing the northeastern hinterland to fall into the hands of the Mongolian army.
However, it seems that Guo Ning really has no intention of occupying Liaodong.
Does he really want to give me Xianping Mansion?
While hesitating, Guo Ning asked: "Puxian Wannu's occupation of this place has at least blocked the way for the Mongolian army to advance eastward. Can you, Heshi Liedu, be able to do that?"
Heshi Liehuanduan's face turned red, and he mustered up all his strength and said loudly: "I can do it!"
"Isn't it settled then?" Guo Ning said easily: "You will settle in the Commander's Mansion today and assume the position of taking over as the Xuanfu envoy of Liaodong. Then you will find some officials and write a recommendation together, saying that you will obey the authority in urgent matters.
I have no choice but to overstep my bounds and beg the court to ratify it later. Haha, there must be many officials in Xianping Mansion who are willing to cooperate."
He Shi Liehuanduan thought for a moment and bowed to Guo Ning: "Guo Jiedu is so righteous, and I, He Shi Liehuanduan, will certainly do what he promised."
"Hahaha, that's good." Guo Ning waved his hand: "You have been tired after a long night of fighting. Let's go our separate ways and have a good rest. Going forward, the Northeast Mainland will not stop. Let's keep our spirits high.
It’s easier to deal with.”
Heshi Liehuanduan couldn't help but ask: "Why can't you stop the method? Guo Jiedu, what do you know? Pu Xianwannu's headquarters troops are still in Hanzhou. Is it related to that troops?"
Guo Ning had already turned around and seemed not to have heard.
Heshi Liehuanduan wanted to catch up and ask more carefully, but he couldn't help but peek inside the commander's mansion. Thinking of the significance of occupying this place, and thinking that his family had lived in Fuzhou for several years, he finally had the opportunity to control greater power.
What could he do for the Kingdom of Jin... He was so excited that he walked back and forth at the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion twice, and finally stepped inside.
Except for the soldiers and horses who were on guard duty in shifts, the soldiers went to their respective camps to rest.
In the blink of an eye, the sky becomes brighter, and in the blink of an eye, most of the day has passed.
Around the end of the day, Li Ting, who was appointed by Guo Ning to be in charge of city defense, was sitting at the top of the city. The summer sun was shining, making his armor shine.
The sun was too bright and hot, and the leaves of the armor were heated up by the sun, especially the thick iron leaves on the shoulders. They were still burning the skin through the cloth under the armor.
Li Ting almost heard his skin sizzling, but he was really satisfied with his majestic posture, and he was not willing to leave the awed gazes of many residents in the city, so he was determined to endure the pain of his skin and remain majestic for a while longer.
Li Yun, who was sitting next to Li Ting, was already feeling flustered by the heat. He drank water from a large basin, put down the basin, and took a fan to fan his brother.
He had always been in awe of his elder brother, but this time his elder brother sent an army to rescue him. Last night, he heard about his elder brother's deeds of not avoiding arrows and risking his life to climb the city. He was so moved that he hugged his elder brother on the spot and cried twice.
On the contrary, Li Ting was calmer. When he didn't see Li Yun, he was so worried that he didn't even think about food and drinks. He was irritable and restless all day long and wanted to fight with others. When he saw that Li Yun was safe and sound, he acted like an elder brother again and acted like a general.
.
"What a pity!" Li Ting sighed.
"Brother, what are you regretting?" Li Yun asked obediently.
"It's a pity that our commander-in-chief has an order and we don't change the flags on the city. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more majestic to fly my general flag, Li Erlang?" Li Ting raised his hand and gestured: "Without the general flag, I always feel that the momentum is lacking.
It’s just a little bit off in quality.”
"Then... instead of changing the old flag, how about adding two new ones?" Li Yun asked jokingly.
Li Ting shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I deliberately kept Pu Xian Wan Nu's flag, it is serious and useful. Not today, just tomorrow! There is no need to give birth to..."
Before he finished speaking, a light horseman suddenly turned back outside the city. The knight on horseback raised his head toward the city and shouted loudly: "Urgent military information! Urgent report! Open the door!"
The city was still under martial law, so the city gates were closed. The lieutenant who was guarding the city quickly led people down and opened the door to let the knight in.
The door was half open, and the knights squeezed in, then galloped towards the military camp in the city.
"That's Ni Yi!" Li Yun was a little nervous: "Looking at his posture, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter?"
Li Ting patted Li Yun on the shoulder: "Of course it's not a trivial matter... We are in a hurry to capture Xianping Mansion just for this moment. Don't panic."
