Five days later, the news that Han Xuan had ambushed Zhebie and defeated the Mongolian army was reported across the sea via Lubufei and reported to Yidu.
The last time the Mongolian army broke into Shandong, it caused terrible casualties. Almost every household under the jurisdiction of Dinghai navy had a family member killed by the Mongolian army's unscrupulous atrocities. Guo Ning always regarded the Mongolian army as the enemy, and Dinghai navy
We have always relied on military government documents, popular college textbooks, and school propaganda to strengthen this concept.
Therefore, when the messenger rushed in and brought news of victory, the soldiers and people in the city cheered with joy.
Although the victory over the Mongolian army in Shandong last year was brilliant, the entire battle, viewed against the background of the Mongolian army moving southward and sweeping across half of the country, can only be regarded as a glimmer of light in a dark and bloody defeat.
Guo Ning's victory in Liaodong a few months ago was too far away for the people of Shandong. The vast majority of the people were so accustomed to hearing and hearing that they could not imagine a war beyond the sea.
This victory was different.
In the past six months, as the exchanges between Liaodong and Shandong have become increasingly closer, more and more people have become accustomed to seeing goods and people from Liaodong in their lives. Subtly, they began to treat
The navy is regarded as a political power whose territory spans the sea.
Therefore, the victory in Liaodong was also the victory of Ding Haijun! The people cheered and jumped, Ding Haijun defeated the Mongols!
What's more important is the results.
In the previous victory in Shandong, it was true that many Mongolians were killed, Tuo Lei was captured, and he was exchanged for a lot of money, food and materials. But generally speaking, ordinary people only regarded the fourth prince as the official who they saw every day.
Lang Jun compared it with others and subconsciously felt that Tuo Lei was an incompetent person and did not understand his talent and status.
Zhebie is different. This Divine Arrow General is an important general and veteran of the Mongols. His reputation is as thunderous in the ears of many soldiers who came from the Northern Xinjiang Army. There are even many people who have fought with him.
He made the right decisions on the battlefield and suffered losses.
The local people in Shandong may not be so familiar with this name, but they will soon get an explanation from the children of military households.
"You don't know Zhebie?"
"The four most vicious generals under the Black Tartar Khan are known as the "Four Dogs", don't you know?"
"Damn it, why are you laughing? That's what the Mongolians call brave generals! We were killed by those "dogs"!"
"Well, well, you have read the transcripts of the hospital two days ago. Do you know about the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Uncle Liu Huang? Just know."
"Well, let me ask you again. It will be New Year's Day in a while. The two pictures of the door god Grandpa at your door are of Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong, who were under Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know these two generals? You also know.
?That’s even better!”
"Let me tell you, that Zhebie is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Qin Shubao, and Yuchi Gong under the Great Khan of Black Tartar! Such people came to Liaodong with thousands of troops, and after just one battle, they were defeated
Our General Manager Han led someone to kill him, what does this mean?"
"The generals who represent our navy are stronger than those of the Mongols."
"The power of Guo Xuanshi, who represents our Dinghai Navy, is stronger than that of the Mongol Khan!"
"It means that our navy is not afraid of anyone, and Ambassador Guo Xuan can always give it to everyone, and give you guys, you guys, a stable meal!"
The speaker spoke louder and louder. At first, everyone around him was flattering, and finally half the street was cheering. Then his mood became high and he couldn't help but laugh, as if he had won the battle.
Among those who listened to his words, some couldn't help but sigh: "We are really lucky to have such a strong navy. When we arrived in Laizhou with the fleet that day, how could we know that we would have such luck? When people were panicked, how could we know that we would have such luck?
You don’t even know your fate, you can’t predict it…”
A young boy's voice next to him said respectfully: "Father is right."
In Yidu City, the cheers of the people reached the commander's mansion.
The side hall where Guo Ning and close staff were discussing matters was not far from the street outside. So Guo Ning had just stood up and stood under the eaves of the side hall when he heard such words.
"The one shouting on the street is Ma Laoliu! This guy must have been drunk, and his voice is scary." Guo Ning smiled and said to Xu Qi: "The father and son talking outside the wall are close family friends Li Shibi and Li Chang.
Father and son. The father and son are experiencing the situation of Secretary Guan Gouwen."
Ma Laoliu was Guo Ning's subordinate at the Xijunhe camp. Because he was particularly good at taking care of large livestock, he was transferred by Guo Ning to raise military horses at the beginning of the year and partnered with Li Ting's father-in-law, Wang Kou'er. But this guy really didn't have much to do.
With his talent in managing affairs, he finally returned to the Commander's Mansion to raise horses for Guo Ning and his attendants.
Li Shibi and Li Chang, father and son, were one of the refugees brought back from Jinan by Monk Luo. Now, although the father has a prosperous official career, the son is also highly valued by Guo Ning, and is often transferred around to follow the daily official documents.
But at this moment, Guo Ning didn't pay special attention to these acquaintances.
What made him listen happily was the cheers of so many people. He expected that the people would be happy, but he did not expect that the people's joy would be so strong.
He noticed that many soldiers and civilians who had recently joined Ding Haijun felt the power of Ding Haijun and were willing to stand firmly in Ding Haijun's camp.
The emotion contained in the cheers made him feel both strength and responsibility.
"How many Mongolians are there? Hundreds of thousands?" Guo Ning said with satisfaction: "We have millions of soldiers and civilians in Shandong and Liaodong. As long as the soldiers and civilians have the same aspirations, why should we fear the Mongols?"
At this time, Yi La Chucai stayed in the hall, looking at the map absentmindedly.
Just a few days ago, he had asserted that unless Guo Ning personally raised troops to fight, no one would be Zhebie's opponent. However, he did not expect that Han Xuan would make a surprise move and do such a good job.
Moreover, the area around Gaizhou and Fuzhou has a huge advantage.
In the military reports that came from all over Liaodong in the past few days, every one of them mentioned that it was freezing and snowing. This winter is warmer than in previous years, and the long-overdue snow has not yet appeared.
There is no trace, but the weather is the weather after all, even if it is later, it will arrive, and when it comes, there will be heavy snow in the sky. North of Liaoyang Mansion, the snow even reached the level of knee-deep.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After this battle, Genghis Khan will definitely be afraid of the power of Liaodong. And because of the impact of heavy snow and road closures, he will not be able to continue to dispatch large armies to Liaodong to fight...
He can't fight at all!" Liang Xunyi said tentatively: "Perhaps we can live a stable life this winter?"
Yizai Chucai read the military report, then looked at the map, and sighed with some worry.
"This is true. However, Lao Han fought very well in this battle. Genghis Khan is a battle-hardened hero, and he is not someone who seems to be fine after suffering a big loss! Next,
We don’t know whether we are safe or not, but someone will definitely be in trouble.”
At this time, Guo Ning came back. Liang Xunyi asked: "What do the envoys think?"
Guo Ning asked in return: "What kind of advice does Qing Jin have? Who will be unlucky?"
Yi La Chucai was silent for a long time: "We have two old friends in Zhongdu City. Do we need to contact them quickly to give them a heads up?"
While everyone in Dinghai Navy was discussing, the heavy snow in the north had been falling for many days without stopping.
The snow on some roads was so deep that the horses were unwilling to trek, and Herod's horse kept neighing, so the knights had to dismount and lead the way by holding the reins. After running for half a day, the knights' eyebrows and beards would be covered with snow.
Covered, people standing opposite each other can't see each other's faces clearly.
Liang Xunyi is very familiar with the climate in the north. He is right. This kind of weather is definitely not suitable for marching and fighting.
But after all, he was a scholar, and he was born into a wealthy family and was well-educated in literary and embroidery. Therefore, he could not understand how tenacious and powerful the Mongols were, and what kind of power they would unleash under the supervision of Genghis Khan.
