The Ding navy in the three states of Denglai was mobilized on a large scale, and envoys rushed around to convey messages.
At the same time, in Changyi County, which is separated from Laizhou by a glue, there are also fast horses and fine riders, constantly running out at night.
Changyi County was called Duchang in ancient times. "Yanzi Chunqiu" said that Qi Jinggong granted Yanzi the title of Duchang, but refused to accept the offer, which refers to this place. Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai in the late Han Dynasty, was surrounded by the Yellow Turban bandit Guan Hai.
Duchang, the former lord Liu Bei rescued him. Today there is Daying City five miles south of Changyi County and Xiaoying City five miles north. It is said that this is where Kong Rong and the Yellow Turbans rejected each other.
Previously, Shandong was divided into two parts, and Changyi County was controlled by the Red Coat Army. However, from the west of Changyi to Weizhou, Yidu Prefecture, and Binzhou, it was Li Quan's territory, and Li Quan was really afraid of Guo Ning.
So he had already reduced his troops and used the military fort built by Wanyan Sala on the Danshui line as the eastern front.
As a result, Changyi County has become a zone that neither of them cares about. Tokyo Port, Qingshi Port in the east of the city, Huohou Mountain, Xiashan and other places in the south of the city, because of the rugged and dangerous terrain, have become the places where some people with unknown origins are entrenched.
.
Guo Zhongyuan, who was in charge of the defense in the west of Laizhou, sent troops to conquer several times, but these people were like flies, driving them away again and again. After repeating it several times, they had to give up temporarily.
And on this day, when the Ding navy mobilized and mobilized a large number of troops and marched westward, this mysterious man in the mountains finally abandoned his hiding place and fled under the starry night.
This group of people only numbered more than ten, but they were all equipped with good horses that were good at running long distances, and all of them were one man and two horses.
When they galloped forward, the Ding navy that entered Changyi territory behind them could not match their speed even if they sent light cavalry to chase them.
The horses' hooves galloped across the fields that were beginning to turn yellow, and through the fields that were about to be harvested. The knights were all selected to be good horse riders. In just one day, they swam across the white water and Danshui leading to the sea.
and Ershui River.
By dusk, they appeared at Jianmi Village east of Yidu, their mounts already swaying on their legs and sweating profusely.
The area around Yidu was already the core area under Li Quan's control, and in Jimi Village, someone actually came out of the village to check the identity of the group, and then brought in replacement horses.
The knights did not rest here. During the interval of changing horses, they ate some dry food and drank enough water. Then they changed to the newly brought horses and continued to gallop.
They went all the way west, crossed Jinling Town, turned to Zouping and turned north. When they arrived at the former site of Jiahe Patrol Division west of Qidong Town, they still passed the ferry controlled by Li Quan and crossed the Beiqing River by boat.
The knights continued to run, crossing the depressions and lakes formed by the overflowing rivers, and crossing the white fields left after being burned and killed by the Mongolian army. The whole journey lasted for several days and nights, almost non-stop.
When they arrived at the border of Jingzhou, they ran along the steep abandoned embankment of the ancient Yellow River for a while and entered the military fortress set up along the river in Ningjin County.
Here they changed horses for the second time, leaving behind a few companions who were physically unable to persist. That day they arrived at Dongguang County, Jingzhou, an important town by the Yu River.
This place is not only the administrative seat of Jingzhou, but also the residence of the Jingzhou Water Transport Department, which controls the water transport of Hecang in the Jingzhou area, has jurisdiction over Liuhecang, and is responsible for sending taxes and grain from Henan to Zhongdu.
And Hebei Xuanfu envoy San Anzhen is now stationed here with his troops.
The political and military center of Hebei East Road was originally Hejian Mansion across Xianzhou to the north, the Military and Horse Command General Mansion on Hebei East Road, the Transportation Department, the Inspection Department of Hebei Daming Road, and the Ying Navy Jiedu Envoy etc.
All the high-ranking officials and generals of the house are stationed there.
But when the Mongolian army went south last year, Hejian Prefecture bore the brunt and was violently attacked by the Mongolian army. Gao Xi, the inspector in charge of defense at that time, did not know how to fight, so Hejian Prefecture fell immediately. All cities, villages, fertile fields and even water conservancy facilities were destroyed.
All were destroyed.
For this reason, Pusan Anzhen moved around several times after becoming the envoy to Xuanfu in Hebei Province.
When the incident occurred in Zhongdu, Pusan Anzhen, as the commander of the imperial defense, watched the whole process, as if he had no outstanding talents. This was because he and his father Pusan Kui failed in the political struggle with Emperor Zhangzong in their early years.
, even Prince Zheng Yongbu, who died, really hated this kind of internal strife in the Wanyan royal family and deliberately avoided it.
Later, he cooperated with Tu Danyi with the power of defending the Weijie Army under his direct subordinates, and protected Tu Danyi when he was running around in embarrassment. From this, he became one of the beneficiaries of the Zhongdu Incident, who invested very little but gained a lot.
Guo Ning pulled Gao Qi, the martial artist who led the army into Zhongdu, and introduced Zhongdu's powerful civil and military talents. Pusan Anzhen was also ranked very high.
Pusan Anzhen was a general, and his father and ancestors had all achieved great success in military affairs, so he controlled considerable political power in the country. When he served as an envoy to declare and appeasement, he was able to gather people wherever he went.
In just a few months, he persuaded farmers to teach farming and mulberry cultivation, and used various means to subdue local thieves, selecting the weak and returning them to the fields, and using the strong and good fighters to recruit troops.
After this summer, Pusan Anzhen has been stationed in Jingzhou.
All because Hebei is in ruins, it is difficult to restore the old outlook for a while, let alone become the rear area of Zhongdu. The huge amount of materials needed by Zhongdu either come from the Shandong sea, or from the Central Plains and Hedong warehouses transported by river boats. Scenery
As the center of river transport, the state's status has naturally risen sharply, and it is also the first line of defense against the red-coat thieves in the south on the Hebei Road.
Therefore, in the past few months, Pusan Anzhen has regarded Jingzhou as the most important place in Hebei Province. He has made great efforts to manage this place. He not only repaired the original city, but also established a series of strong military camps based on the abandoned embankments of the Yellow River.
.The troops mobilized here are all neat and orderly elite.
When the team of knights arrived at Jingzhou, it was just after dusk and the city gate was already closed. They showed their talismans and identity documents under the city, and the military academy on duty reported that the important generals guarding the city had left home.
Pusanliujia personally went to the city to recognize acquaintances, then put down the hanging basket and pulled the leader of them up to the top of the city.

As soon as the person entered the door, he was greeted by the burly servant Anzhen. He was wearing casual clothes, with a belt on his hands and leather boots on his feet. He took a quick look at the knight and said first: "It's been a hard journey!"
Before the knight could answer, he asked again: "Have all the companions who came with us been settled?"
He was stunned for a moment, but before he could answer, he immediately frowned: "Send someone to take good care of it. Get food and supplies from me. You must have wine and meat!"
Left and right hurriedly went out, and Anzhen turned back and asked the knight in a deep voice: "Is there any news?"
The knight knelt down and reported: "Everything is as expected by the envoy, then Guo Ning has sent troops."
Pusan Anzhen couldn't help but clapped her hands and laughed.
After laughing for a while, he helped the knight up and pulled him past the thick-backed guards: "I asked people to prepare food and drinks in the study. Now that you are comfortable eating and drinking, let's talk in detail slowly."
The knight was flattered and kept saying yes.
Pusan Anzhen drank two drinks with the knight, questioned him carefully, and then went out from the study. He was obviously in a happy mood. He looked up at the sky, and the moonlight was like water, reflecting the red color on his face.
Light.
"In the past two years, Changzhou Guoning has risen out of the wilderness, winning every battle, and has been able to control Denglai and Liaohai, which is like a separatist regime. However, this time he was too arrogant! He did not understand the thoughts of those bandits.
I don’t even understand the reason why they are thieves! Haha, he will suffer a big loss!"
After muttering a few words, Pusan Anzhen waved to the leader of the attendants: "The family members of the deceased soldier are all being raised in the house, right?"
"Yes. Not only those who go to Laizhou, but also those who go to Dongping, Yidu and other places have their families raised in the mansion. We follow the envoy's instructions and treat them with courtesy and kindness, and do not dare to neglect them."
"That's good. You go to the warehouse, and according to the money and cloth I promised before, I will count out double, no, double the amount, and send it to them now!"
"double?"
Pusan Anzhen was from a noble family, and he treated his subordinates very generously. These dead soldiers who went to Shandong were among the special talents he had been recruiting in the past six months, and their treatment was extremely generous.
After a while, Pusan Anzhen opened his mouth and tripled the reward. The servants and leaders were shocked.
"Well, that's twice as much! These are people who have made great contributions, and their families deserve to be treated favorably!" Pusan Anzhen nodded heavily: "You can present the reward on my behalf and tell them that I will visit them again tomorrow and thank them!
"
The leader of the attendants left in a hurry.
Pusan Anzhen tugged at his beard and couldn't help but smile again. He looked around and raised his voice and said, "Guo Liulang of Changzhou fell into my trap. You all, please sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, gather your energy, and wait for a while."
In the end, everyone will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and be rewarded!"
All the soldiers around him bowed down.
Some staff members also asked in confusion: "Propaganda envoy, why did Guo Ning fall into the trap? What will happen after he falls into the trap?"
Pusan Anzhen waved to him: "Come on, I'll tell you in detail."
