The next morning, when Guo Ning woke up, he smelled the smell of blood in the tent.
That's because during the fight yesterday, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and stabbed in the left leg. At that time, he only cut off his robe to temporarily wrap it to stop the bleeding. In the evening, the military doctor re-bandaged his wounds. But because there were still many soldiers who needed to be taken care of.
, the military doctor came and went in a hurry, throwing the torn off bloody robe directly in the corner of the tent.
Outside the tent, the sky was dimly lit. Guo Ning suddenly turned over and sat up. Ni Yi from outside asked: "Jie Shuai?"
"Is there any military report?"
"Yes." Ni opened the tent and came in: "Half a moment ago, the messengers sent back by the three scouts who were ordered to enter the vicinity of Guangping Mansion last night have all turned back one after another."
"oh?"
Guo Ning thought for a while and breathed a sigh of relief.
He took water and dry food and put them in front of him, and then said with a smile: "You and Zhao Jue didn't wake me up, so you want me to sleep a little longer? It seems that the news sent back by the scout must be good news. It's Li
Have Ting and others been found safe and sound? Or have they captured Brother Yelvliu? Or have they discovered the whereabouts of the Mongols?"
"They are all there! They are all there!" Ni Yimei smiled happily: "Jie Shuai, you don't know that Li Erlang did three things last night."
"Huh? What do you mean? Bring me the military newspaper."
Guo Ning took the military report from Ni Yi. It was written directly by the officer who led the team. The handwriting was thick and sloppy. It only used a few lines to describe the matter. It was flat and simple, with no literary talent. But Guo Ning looked at these,
On the contrary, I can rest assured, because this kind of record can most intuitively reflect the reality of the battlefield.
The three-way scouts sent back the three-way military report. Some people discovered this, and some found that. Guo Ning pieced together the situation in the military report, and his mouth opened wide and he was speechless.
"This..." After a long while, he breathed out.
"Brother Yeluliu was exhausted and died on the way to escape? His entourage said that before brother Yeluliu died, he might have heard shouting from the air, saying, "It's over...so he was completely dejected and died immediately?"
"right."
"Two thousand fine cavalry from the Mongolian army Muhuali, led by his son Bolu, set off from Jinzhou and headed straight for Xianping Prefecture. But halfway, they encountered a thunderstorm in Lingshan County, Yizhou and caused a mountain fire, so they did not dare to
Keep moving forward and withdraw your troops?"
"right."
Guo Ning threw away the first two military reports and weighed the third one: "Li Ting and the others were injured in many places, but they were not life-threatening... It was just that the hot air balloon burned? They walked back from Lingshan County in Yizhou overnight.
In order to travel quickly, they ambushed the lone knights on the way, trying to kill people and seize their horses. As a result, the one they captured was Yelvxue, the eldest son of Yeluliuge. They also took Yeluxue as a hostage and were forced to run away.
More than 2,000 Khitan troops surrendered?"
Ni nodded repeatedly.
"Damn it..." Guo Ning couldn't help but swore and threw away the third military report: "Li Erlang, just waved in the sky and accomplished three major things in one breath?"
"That's right."
Guo Ning covered his forehead, and Li Ting instantly appeared in front of his eyes with his hands on his hips and laughing wildly.
"There are no rumors about this, right?" he asked.
"Not long after the military report arrived, we only found out after reading it, but we didn't know..."
"Then don't spread rumors. I just think that Li Ting has been hanging in the sky for two hours, and it has nothing to do with the movements of the Khitan army and the Mongolian army! This guy's behavior is ridiculous, and he almost killed himself and his colleagues! He
Why do you still want to make meritorious deeds? I have to punish him severely!"
"But Li Ting knows it himself?" Ni Yi looked at Guo Ning's face and said cautiously: "Although Li Erlang is reckless, he is still shrewd. He is now leading the Khitan troops back, and he meets the scouts one after another on the way.
, just ask once and you will understand everything!”
"Hey!" Guo Ning rolled his eyes.
Ni Yi naturally knew that the two of them had a close friendship, so he was happily following along.
After laughing for a while, Guo Ning said: "Send a smart man to immediately ride to see Li Ting. Tell him that since the Khitans have surrendered, it is not appropriate to humiliate them, especially Yelv Xue... Be polite to him! Don't let Li Ting show off to him.
Such a proud look!"
At this time, Dong Jin came in and raised his hand: "Commander Jie, I heard that Mu Huali captured Dading Mansion in Beijing and killed Wanyan Chengyu. He, Shi Lie, Huanduan and others were all frightened. They came here to pay a visit and are waiting outside.
.”
Only then did Guo Ning realize that there was something like this in the military newspaper.
He picked up the three military reports again and placed them in front of him to look at them carefully.
After all, Guo Ning is not on the side of the imperial court. From his point of view, it doesn’t matter if the imperial court loses troops or generals. What’s more, Wanyan Chengyu was the culprit who single-handedly caused Yehuling’s defeat. If Guo Ning didn’t seek his bad luck, he would have been
Keep the overall situation in mind and hold your hand high.
If the imperial court had to use such mediocre generals to station at the Liaohai Passage, it would be tantamount to taking the initiative to send this place under the fast horses and scimitars of the Mongolian army, lest others would not come to kill them.
Muhuali used people like Pu Xianwannu and Yelvliu Ge to attract the attention of the warlords from all sides in Liaodong. He took a leisurely trip to Beijing and captured one of the five capitals of the Jin Kingdom in an instant.
The entire territory of Daijin was cut off... Guo Ning would probably do the same if he put himself in his shoes.
For the Mongolian army, taking Dading Mansion in Beijing and cutting off the Liaohai channel would cut off an arm of the Jurchens and form a threat to China from both sides. This is naturally a good thing. Mu Huali will report it.
Genghis Khan was a great success.
And this is also an excellent situation for Guo Ning.
Once the Liaohai channel was cut off, warlords from all over the Northeast had to contact the imperial court. If they wanted to obtain any supplies, they had to rely on sea routes. Since the Hu Shahu rebellion, the shipping capabilities of the Jin Kingdom have been reduced, and the ships controlled by the nobles of Zhongdu have been reduced.
The team was completely under Guo Ning's control.
Therefore, the various warlords had to rely on Guo Ning to survive; and the imperial court had to rely on Guo Ning to maintain the court's face and style.
No matter where he is, Guo Ning acts fiercely and does not hide his position very much, so he estimates that most people will not regard him as a loyal minister of the court. However, as a Han'er rising in the north,
Isn't this very happy?
Under such a situation, the strength of the navy will definitely double.
When Guo Ning only had the three states of Denglai in his hands, he was able to repulse part of the Mongolian army head-on, and did not take the red-coated army in Shandong's border at all. This time, he captured Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and conquered the vast territory.
The northeastern hinterland has been transformed into a source of resources... After a year or two or even shorter, the Dinghai Navy will attack with all its strength. Are you afraid that it will not be able to sweep Shandong and reach a higher level?
Thinking of this, Guo Ning chewed dry food faster and drank two mouthfuls of water: "Let Heshi Liehuanduan and others wait for a while, I will go to see them immediately."
At this time, Zhao Jue came in with the information collected last night.
He is the leader of Guo Ning's personal valet, and he also has the responsibility of supervising the entire army. At this time, he has collected the specific figures of the enemy's and our losses in this battle, the scale of the seized supplies, and is also keeping an eye on several generals and officers above the lieutenant level.
, I quickly wrote a post-war summary.
There were all kinds of books, a total of seven or eight books, a thick stack, held in his hand.
Hearing Guo Ning talk about the situation in Liaohai with a very relaxed tone, Zhao Jue stepped forward, put the information on the table, and whispered: "When I came just now, I saw that all the generals in Liaodong were worried."
Guo Ning coughed slightly and nodded.
He swallowed the steamed cake, and at the same time suppressed his turbulent thoughts, he took out the city that he had developed over the months as a high-ranking official. He said in a serious tone: "The Liaohai Passage fell into the hands of the Mongols, which has a great influence on the overall situation.
It’s a hindrance! Let’s go see Heshi Liedutong and others, and also send someone to send a message to Mr. Jin Qing in Laizhou and Mr. Jinzhi in Zhongdu, and we must discuss a way to deal with it!”
