Chapter 41 Side by Side (Part 2)

When the deep and powerful drum sound from the direction of the wetland suddenly resounded through the sky, Jing'an people were at the old site of Qigou Pass to the east of Qigou, discussing with their trusted subordinates Hao Duan and others, accompanied by Xu Jin.

Hu Shahu suddenly led his troops here, causing the originally well-planned situation to suddenly get out of control. The people of Jing'an didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only arrange for the two armies to lurk in accordance with the previous agreement.

He himself was familiar with the terrain of Zhuozhou, and Xu Jin was well-known as a local ghost, so the hiding place arranged for Guo Ning's troops was very appropriate, and the location of his own headquarters was even more appropriate.

The Qigou River is also called the grain transport river, and it was one of the grain transfer channels in the north during the Tang Dynasty. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, there was a pass on the east side of the Qigou River, named Qigou Pass, and the width and length of the pass were 130 feet.

, four feet high, it can be said to be a majestic pass and a dangerous pass.

The Jing'an Civilian Division hid in the dry Qigou behind the old site of Qigou Pass, about twenty miles away from Fanyang City. The old river channel of Qigou turned around here, forming a beach shaped like a sedge, opening to the south.

He mobilized his troops here, whether advancing or retreating, attacking or defending. Therefore, Jing'an people discussed countermeasures with their subordinates in detail, and it was not in a hurry.

But he really didn't expect that Guo Ning's troops would suddenly beat the drums and send out troops!

Jing'anmin's location was a little far away from Guo Ning's headquarters. This news was reported by the scouts he sent outside. Jing'anmin didn't believe it at first, but when he heard the rumbling of drums, he hurriedly sent out detective horses to check.

Guo Ning’s trends.

Yang An'er and Hu Shahu, just like wolves and tigers fighting each other, sit back and watch the success or failure, but they still feel uneasy. Guo Ning's sudden move has brought new variables to the originally delicate situation.

"What do you want Guo Liu to do?" Jing Anmin reached out and grabbed Xu Jin, and asked loudly: "What's going on? Are you doing this nonsense without saying hello beforehand?"

Xu Jin was also confused, how could he answer?

"Hey!" Jing Anmin pushed Xu Jin away a few steps angrily.

Jing Anmin's right-hand man, Hao Duan, helped Xu Jin and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, Guo Liu suddenly raised troops, either to help Yang An'er or to help Hu Shahu. Helping Yang An'er means that he has been prepared and planned to take this opportunity to rebel.

... Just hide it from us?"

Xu Jin was used to fighting among the leaders of many forces. Hearing this, he shook his head subconsciously: "This is not..."

"Then, he is helping Hu Shahu? That would be even more troublesome! What benefits does Hu Shahu promise Guo Ning? Could it be said that if there is no wolf like Yang An'er in several states in Hebei, another evil tiger will appear out of thin air?

Or is he a scheming evil tiger who is involved with people like Hu Shahu?"

The two families had discussed countermeasures together before, and Guo Ning was very clear about all his own plans. Those ideas were just a hair away from blatant rebellion. If Guo Ning had voted for the imperial court... Yang An'er was not the only one who had been given a certificate of surrender by him? Heroes from all over Hebei.

, is there still a way to survive?

When Hao Duan said this, he was shocked. He only felt that his feet were weak, and he quickly held on to the brick wall to steady his body. Because of the big movement, the skin of the brick wall that had been in disrepair for a long time rustled down.

Lose.

After taking a breath, he forced himself to calm down and quickly turned his eyes to look at Jing Anmin.

Jing Anmin's complexion was not good either, but he quickly returned to normal. He slowly said, "Guo Liu must have a reason for doing this. In my opinion, this person is upright and does not look like someone who betrayed his friends."

people."

After a pause, he added: "However, we must be cautious when leading troops outside. Ma Bao!"

Ma Bao, who was guarding the village, said in response: "Here!"

"You lead our infantry and retreat five miles south along the Qigou. The team will be on standby to respond at any time."

"Yes!" Ma Bao took the order.

Jing Anmin looked around at the people around him, and then at the hundreds of fully armed elite knights behind him: "We are here to take a look at the situation."

Not long after, a report came from the front saying that Tan Ma was returning with a knight. The knight claimed to be Guo Ning's subordinate Wang Shixian.

The people of Jing'an quickly found an earthen platform, looked down from the top of their homes, and winked at their subordinates, causing them to crowd around majestically, with their chests and belly protruding, and they stared at him eagerly.

When Wang Shixian came closer, Jing Anmin shouted loudly: "Why is your Guo Liu so reckless? Doesn't he tell friendly forces what he wants to do?"

Wang Shixian bowed to Jing'an Min and saluted: "The fighter opportunity is fleeting, how can we delay it? Besides, I was entrusted by Mr. Lang to inform you."

"What are you telling me?" Hao Duanhe asked.

Wang Shixian glanced at Hao Duan, without any pretense, and simply repeated Guo Ning's original words: "My husband said that if you want something, you must rely on the sword in your hand to get it, instead of just sitting and watching and praying. Since you hold it in your hand,

It doesn’t matter if the sword is stained with a little blood.”

"What do you mean Rokuro?"

"While Yang An'er and Hu Shahu are fighting to the death, Lang Jun is determined to enter Fan Yang first!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Fan Yang?

Fan Yang!

He came here to help in the battle, but as a result, he wanted to enter Fan Yang first!

What a good Guo Ning, he wants to turn against the guests and seize the food from the tiger's mouth!

Jing'an Min immediately understood Guo Ning's intention. He stood up suddenly and asked: "Guo Liulang is interested in Fanyang City? How is that different from rebellion? After taking the city, how should we deal with the enemies outside the city?"

"My Liulang said that when the war is in chaos, it is only natural for me and the Hebei volunteers to go to the city to help defend it. As long as we have Fan Yang in our hands, neither Yang An'er nor Hu Shahu can do anything to us."

Wang Shixian raised his head and said loudly: "We are no longer the frontier soldiers we were back then. How can those generals and marshals still make us kneel down? Hu Shahu himself was also demoted and dismissed from office. What he relies on is nothing more than strong soldiers and horses...

...We also have strong troops and horses! How is he treating us!"

The people of Jing'an were silent for a moment.

Hao Duan and others looked at each other.

Good guy. That Hu Shahu is one of the few fierce generals and famous generals in the Kingdom of Jin. He has great reputation in the southern and northern wars. At that time, he participated in the Northern Xinjiang military aircraft as the right deputy marshal and led hundreds of thousands of people. He sneezed.

, everyone in the country reacted, squeezing Jing'an Min, Guo Ning and his like to death is like squeezing an ant to death.

For this kind of people, no matter how unfavorable their career may be, their residual power is still there, and it is overwhelming and terrifying.

So when they saw his sudden arrival, everyone's expressions changed, and everyone hesitated for a while.

Hu Shahu led his army to fight with Yang An'er's troops. In the eyes of everyone, no one thought that Yang An'er was his opponent.

And Hao Duan would even guess whether Guo Ning had some kind of deal with Hu Shahu... It was also because Hu Shahu had such a bad reputation that everyone felt that it was not unimaginable to bend the knee to him.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ning obviously didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't care at all about Hu Shahu's majesty. Not only did he not care about it, he actually wanted to take Fan Yang, the seat of Zhuozhou, on Hu Shahu's lips!

How audacious!

But he is right!

Xu Jin was standing by and couldn't help stroking his hands: "Guo Liulang, you are truly a hero!"

Wang Shixian took a step forward and said: "Now I just want to ask, do you really want Zhuozhou and Fanyang? Or do you mean that you cherish your feathers and want to continue to sit back and watch?"

Having said this, he looked around at everyone again: "Or do you all think that the benefits in Zhuozhou, and even more benefits that you can't even imagine in the future, can be obtained by waiting and watching?"

Jing Anmin has always been more cautious, and most of his subordinates are also so. When Wang Shixian asked this question, some people pondered, some were moved, but some frowned, and some shook their heads.

Hao Duan sighed: "This is too risky!"

Wang Shixian sneered: "My Guo Langjun said that only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things. Now it seems that you are all very ordinary, not like..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing'anmin's expression suddenly changed.

It is true that he and Guo Ning were very friendly when they met. Jing Anmin also formed an alliance with Guo Ning on behalf of Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou behind them. However, who can be willing to deal with a person who can rise out of the grass in this world?

What about being at a disadvantage to your allies?

The current situation is just the beginning of many great plans. If you are at a disadvantage in the first step you take, there will be no need to compete in the future!

The people of Jing'an stood up suddenly and shouted in a deep voice: "I have acquaintances in Fanyang City. As soon as I arrive, the city will change hands immediately... No need for a large-scale killing!"

"That's a good thing!" Wang Shixian responded: "Since there won't be mass killings, those people in the city who don't need to die and don't deserve to die will be safe."

Jing'an Min nodded slightly and asked again: "After taking Zhuozhou, what are Guo Liulang's plans?"

Wang Shixian smiled: "Since we are under the banner of Zhuozhou's righteousness and bravery, all arrangements in Zhuozhou are at our discretion; and Zhuozhou governor Nian Gezhen... I heard that he is a reasonable person, and he must be willing to listen to Yayan."

Jing Anmin stared at Wang Shixian: "Whose elegant words are you listening to?"

Wang Shixian bowed: "After the matter is completed, my husband will return to Anzhou immediately and will never stay in Zhuozhou for another day. From the beginning to the end, the person responsible for contacting the governor has been decided by you; I believe that the governor needs your help.

There must be many places."

Jing Anmin nodded: "That's it."

He came down from the platform and held the handle of the knife at his waist: "Let Ma Bao bring the people back! Let's go to Fan Yang!"

When these words came out, Wang Shixian was surprised: "So your department is not stationed in Qigou? No wonder my husband couldn't find any trace just now, and he praised your department for hiding well."

Jing Anmin looked at ease: "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake."

After saying this, he turned around and walked out. As he walked, he shouted: "Bang the drum! Beat the drum!"

When the drum sound from the direction of Qigou sounded, the entire area beside Fanyang City became a mess.

Guo Ning did not lead anyone to Fan Yang himself. At this time, he moved along the bend of the water flow on the edge of the depression, and gradually approached the center of the battlefield. He was using a forest as a cover, standing tall and looking at it for a long time.

He watched as his own large army, led by Monk Luo, swaggered around the battlefield from southeast to southwest, and then merged with the Jing'an People's Division who had arrived in a hurry and the queue was long.

He watched Yang An'er's headquarters become noisy for a while, and then quickly regained his composure under the pressure of the officers.

He noticed that some of Hu Shahu's infantry team wanted to take advantage of the chaos of Yang An'er's troops to attack, and some of them probably wanted to see the situation, so they slowed down a little. As a result, the entire front collapsed completely.

I, with you in me, am getting more and more entangled.

He saw that Hu Shahu's Guaizima had begun to advance, preparing to outflank the enemy. However, because an uninvited guest suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the commander of Guaizima slowed down their advance and instead sent someone to the Chinese army to ask for instructions on the next step.

trend.

If you look carefully, you will see that where Hu Shahu is in the middle of the army, some people are moving to high places to have a look, and there are also Jurchens in white robes who are riding horses directly towards the city.

If a big frontier city changed hands under Hu Shahu's eyes, it would not be justified in any case. Since Hu Shahu is here, he must pay attention to it. As his own troops enter Fan Yang, Hu Shahu's troops will definitely be distracted, and his attention will definitely be

He was divided into thin groups, and even the armored elites who were guarding him around him would be mobilized to appropriate positions accordingly, in order to take into account the situation inside and outside the city.

This was Guo Ning's true purpose of sending his army to take Fan Yang directly.

Guo Ning's courage was ten times greater than Jing Anmin thought.

For Guo Ning, Hebei is just a temporary place of residence. What is Zhuozhou? What is Fan Yang? He doesn't need these.

But he needs an enemy of sufficient weight and a beautiful fight.

Guo Ning is a soldier, and he is a soldier who dares to take the lead. If he wants to rise out of the wilderness and frighten all parties with his might, he must use the enemy's defeat to set off his victory, and use the enemy's embarrassment to show that Changzhou Guo Ning is capable.

The power that overwhelms the whole place!

Xiao Hao Hu and his ilk are just lost dogs, not worth mentioning. Yang An'er... After all, it is useful to keep him. But Hu Shahu is so stubborn that he actually came to his door.

It's very good. Not to mention how to eliminate the old hatred of the family, the right deputy marshal of the year, Quan Shangshu Zuo Cheng, is enough!

Since you entered Zhuozhou as a private soldier, don't talk about official authority. With the iron bone flower in my hand, I will first beat you to the point where your face is full of peach blossoms, and set an example for the other states in Hebei!

Guo Ning smiled and asked, "Are you all ready?"

A gust of wind blew, blowing on the armors of the knights behind them. The sound of small armor plates colliding gently mixed with the sounds of knights drawing weapons and plucking bowstrings in preparation, adding a sense of excitement to the small woodland on the edge of the battlefield.

A bit chilling.

"Ready." All the knights said.
