Ni Yizong rode into the city, thinking that Guo Ning would gather for discussion soon.
However, Li Ting had a heavy responsibility to guard the city wall. Guo Ning had long said that even if the sky fell, Li Erlang would be asked to stay at the top of the city. So Li Ting was in no hurry to turn back.
As for Li Yun, now he is a subordinate of Qunmu Subordinate and is responsible for doing business and making money, not an officer, so there is no need to go back to the military meeting. But he is still concerned about the situation and asked repeatedly: "Brother, what is not a trivial matter? This
What will happen soon? Is there anything more to come?"
After asking again and again, Li Yun had a puzzled look on his face: "I thought that our commander-in-chief could not trust Pu Xianwannu, so we wanted to capture the Xianping Mansion and push Heshi Liehuanduan to the position of Liaodong Xuanfu Envoy. And Heshi Liehuanduan's
As the power moves northward, the two states of Fuzhou and Gaizhou are vacated. Fuzhou and Gaizhou are surrounded by mountains and seas and control the islands. Moreover, the land is fertile and has the benefits of fishing and salt. We work here slowly and can obtain horses and furs.
Once the important supplies are sold exclusively for profit, they can also be used as Laizhou's rear... Brother, we have already made a lot of money on this trip, isn't that enough?"
Having said this, Li Yun stood up and took two steps: "When I came to Liaodong, Commander Ji said he only wanted to trade horses. Now that he has joined forces with Heshi Liehuanduan to control the sacred land of southern Liaoning, it is an unexpected surprise.
But if there are going to be continuous wars over this land, wouldn’t it be...brother, wouldn’t that be in conflict with the great policy of taking Shandong as the foundation?"
"Hey!" Li Ting touched his head and his eyes rarely wandered.
He is two years older than Li Yun and is much more skilled. Since he was signed into the army, he has always treated Li Yun as a child and someone to be taken care of. Even if Li Yun later took charge of Zhigu Village, because Li Ting was not there
In front of him, he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, Li Yun grew up very fast. Now I heard some scattered news and deduced some truth.
Li Ting also had some truth, but most of it was on the sword and not much in his mind. After listening to Li Yun's story, he wanted to respond with a few words, but for a moment he was at a loss for words.
But he didn't want to be underestimated by his younger brother, so he raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, hahaha..."
"Brother, why are you laughing? Could it be that Jieshuai doesn't mean this?" Li Yun said anxiously: "If Jieshuai got involved in many troubles in the future just to rescue us, then I will never redeem myself!"
"Guo Liulang treats us as his own family. He is serious about sending troops to rescue, but..."
Li Ting made a gesture of contemplation and recalled crazily what Guo Ning said during the military discussion with him. After a while, he finally organized his words smoothly: "Ayun, what do you think of Pu Xianwannu?"
"Ruthless and ambitious, he can be regarded as a hero who takes advantage of the situation, and..."
Li Yun hesitated for a moment: "I have personally seen him suddenly use his sword to kill Pu Xianlielin, the adopted son of the Afu Mongolian army in Xianping Prefecture, and his subordinates. His attack was extremely decisive. He also said personally that I was an ally of the Mongols, but I was not.
The Mongols’ dogs are taking advantage of the Mongols’ northward march to Taizhou to expand their power.”
He leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "Brother, think about it, if he can say such things, how can he be a loyal ally of the Mongols? This man has a rebellious character and only seeks to be independent. In fact...actually, cough cough
, and my Jie Shuai, there is really some possibility of cooperation with each other!"
A section of the Mongolian army was once stationed in Xianping Prefecture. Li Yun had already reported this news to Guo Ning. Last night, Heshi Liehuanduan specially sent many people to publicize it everywhere, confirming the identity of Pu Xianwannu rebels.
But Li Yun is a member of the inner circle of Ding Haijun, so he naturally knows that his commander-in-chief is not a loyal minister. From a certain perspective, he can even be said to be the one who belongs to Pu Xianwannu.
Pu Xianwannu himself had a judgment about this, so he once told Li Yun that after he unified Liaodong, he could travel between Liaodong and Shandong. There was a vague meaning in his words to help each other.
From Li Yun's point of view, it was a good result that the navy was able to gain an ally across the sea without any effort.
Precisely because he had received Pu Xianwannu's promise, Li Yun did not think that it was necessary for his side to be too involved in Liaodong. These are the only things that can be obtained, and they can be obtained easily, so why waste a lot of effort and waste a lot of money?
Previously, when the navy was ordered to break into the city, Li Yun responded violently without hesitation, but when the war came to an end, this doubt emerged in his heart.
Now seeing Ni Yifei reporting the urgent military situation, he was worried that the price he would have to pay was getting higher and higher, and he finally couldn't help but reveal everything in front of his brother.
"Ayun, I have also thought about what you are thinking. The conclusion is that this person is useless and cannot be used."
"useless?"
"This Pu Xian Wan Nu, who fought against the Mongols and the Khitans before, suffered repeated defeats and lost hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. He is a completely incompetent general. Damn it, he also had a share in Yehuling's failure at that time.
,Do you remember?"
Li Ting sneered twice: "To achieve his great success, he relies entirely on underhanded tactics and the remaining power of the Jin Dynasty in Liaodong. But, Ayun, times have changed, and real troubled times are coming.
When the world is in chaos and no one takes Dai Jin seriously anymore, what use are his little tricks?"
At this point, Li Ting's sneer turned into a ferocious smile: "Those who rely on the remaining power of the Jin Dynasty to poach the Jin Dynasty just think they are heroes. For example, Yuan Shu, Liu Yan in the late Han Dynasty, and Liu Yan in the late Sui Dynasty
Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhuaji, even if all their agencies are exhausted, in the eyes of a truly powerful person who can rise in troubled times, they are just a piece of fat, and they will inevitably end up being eaten sooner or later."
Li Yun pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked: "So what Jieshuai means is to swallow him completely? That may not be easy!"
Li Ting opened his mouth and said nothing. He forgot what Guo Ning said after that and quickly continued to recall, but he heard the heavy footsteps of military boots on the road to the city beside him.
Amidst the sound of footsteps, Guo Ning raised his voice and said: "The more these people think they have a plan, and the more flaws they have, they will inevitably be devoured. When I raised the army, I had already concluded that the time to attack this piece of fat was coming.
.However, we have this idea, and other thoughtful people probably have the same idea. Since everyone is holding bowls and chopsticks and preparing to eat on the table, we should all make some preparations in advance... at least, try our best.
To prevent some outsiders from rushing to the table and messing up the scene, right?"
Having said this, Guo Ning strode forward and stood on the high point of the pier on the city wall.
"It came so quickly!" he exclaimed.
Zhao Jue, Zhang Qian, He Shilie Huanduan and others followed suit and looked far to the west.
The terrain to the west of Xianping Prefecture is relatively flat. The Liaohe River and the Qinghe River converge here, and a continuous plain has been alluvialized over thousands of years. As early as the Tianhui period, this area was an important agricultural land that Dajin was deliberately operating. There were once people from the Southern Song Dynasty.
The envoy came here and said with emotion: The land in the state is flat, the residents are settled in settlements, new crops are everywhere, the land is suitable for millet, and the fertility is no less than in the south.
It is a pity that it has been abandoned for decades, and most of the cultivated land has now become a meadow. Now in late summer, the continuous meadow is covered with weeds, dark green, thick black and withered yellow interlaced, as if it is boundless.
At the end of the grassy field, an army of tens of thousands of people was marching hand in hand along dozens of trampled roads.
In the surging queue, hundreds of five-color flags fluttered in the wind, as if the fleet was sailing through the waves on the green ocean. The scene was spectacular.
Among all the flags, one is the tallest. Its pattern is very unique, looking like the sun above and the moon below.
Heshi Liehuanduan had long been familiar with this flag, which represented the Jurchens' mortal enemy. At that moment, he said solemnly: "This is the Tianzi flag of the Khitan people. Brother Yeluliu is here."
Guo Ning clapped his hands and said with a relaxed smile: "This is the first diner."
There is a record in the history of the Liao Dynasty: "Tian Zuo was so happy that he called his concubines to climb up and watch together, and they were surprised. The Jin soldiers looked at the sun and moon flag and knew that Tian Zuo was below them, so they attacked with strong troops. No one dared to fight.
Tian Zuo escaped."
It is also said that the shape of the sun above and the moon below is the illustration of the character "天" in the Khitan character.
