Guo Ning went out surrounded by dozens of knights.
It is said that the army is like iron, tempered into steel. When the defeated troops first gathered a few days ago, many of them could not help but carry the loose spirit they had developed over the past year. Previously, they had only had slight contact with the enemy in Fanyang City, except for Guo Ning who led his troops into the battle.
, the vast majority of people only conducted one armed march.
But with just this simple march, the blocked orifices in many people's hearts were suddenly opened. Those soldiers who had been through death were like weapons that had been buried for a long time. Layers of rust were suddenly worn away, revealing
He discovered the true face of a man on the battlefield.
At this time, dozens of horsemen surrounded Guo Ning. Although they were all covered in mud from the long journey, no one was particularly grand, but they were naturally very powerful. At first, Guo Ning had to carefully rein in the reins, and passed through the gaps in the crowd.
Passing by slowly, people later moved out of the way, and some people crawled down beside the road.
As the leader of the young followers, Ni Yi followed Guo Ning closely, holding his ax in front of the saddle.
Generally speaking, the soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom had the habit of carrying one or several secondary weapons with them. For example, meteor hammers and iron bone flowers used to break armor, or short knives and hand axes used for throwing.
The ax owned by Ni Yi is not a hand axe, but a serious logging axe, which is very heavy. So just now Ni Yi hit it with the back of the ax and easily smashed the face of a fierce guard.
.Although the back of the ax was rubbed, there was still a trace of blood, which slowly solidified into black.
That person must be dead, right?
Mukuro said beforehand not to do anything casually, so I originally wanted to be merciful and just knock him out.
But the first time I acted in front of Rokuro, I tried too hard... Will Rokuro be unhappy?
Ni Yi looked at Guo Ning's expression carefully, and then imitated Guo Ning's look, scanning the people nearby seriously and coldly.
He saw many people bowing their heads respectfully, and saw them kneeling in the mud without hesitation.
Of course, this kind of respect was not for him, but for Liulang. But Ni Yi still felt that he could not suppress the excitement in his chest.
As long as he can remember, Ni Yi has been humiliated like a humble withered grass. Although he tried his best to hone his martial arts, the Yongtun soldiers in Northern Xinjiang have no status in the eyes of the Jurchen nobles who build bedsteads and houses above them.
?
He and his family and companions ate chaff every day and used all kinds of crude weapons. They were driven to the grasslands again and again to fight with the beast-like Mongols and for those high-ranking generals and marshals.
Take merit.
Ni Yi has always thought that this is how people live, killing people constantly, until one day they are killed by others, and die in confusion. He thinks this way, and his relatives around him, Pao Ze, also think this way.
The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty have been driven by the nobles from generation to generation. They are like cattle, horses, and sometimes dogs or wolves, which is all right.
After all, the humble ant people can only survive by clinging to the nobles in order to get a little supply from the court.
But now, he suddenly discovered that some things were different!
He was thinking wildly, and Wang Shixian, who was waiting outside with his people, came to greet him.
After a fight with Hu Shahu, Guo Ning captured some more horses, but there were not enough soldiers who could ride horses at a gallop. Wang Shixian's trusted subordinates were all Wang Gu people who could ride bad horses and run long distances, so they were all transferred to the cavalry team.
middle.
Wang Shixian has always prided himself on being good at dealing with people. Previously, he repeatedly told Guo Ning that he had a fateful relationship with Yu Jingchun, and he would definitely be able to win over the Yu family through Yu Jingchun, and then make all the local big families near Anzhou side with Guo Ning. aside.
It's a pity that several attempts were unsuccessful, and instead the soldiers gathered by Guo Ning almost fell into the dilemma of insufficient supplies of supplies.
At this time, Guo Ning took advantage of the power of defeating Hu Shahu and personally came forward to talk to Yu. Wang Shixian did not come forward, but was prepared to come out to show off in an emergency.
At this time, he hurriedly asked: "Rokuro, what do you say?"
Guo Ning nodded and said: "Both Yu brothers are very smart, so they agreed."
Wang Shixian thought for a while, shook his head, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Sure enough, Liulang's reputation is more effective. It seems that the two Yu brothers are both hard-core and not soft-hearted!"
"No, it's just that the current situation forced them to make up their minds." Guo Ning laughed.
"Liu Lang, since the results have been obtained at Xinqiao Camp, let's go to Wocheng County to meet the governor of Anzhou?" A knight behind asked excitedly.
Guo Ning shook his head slightly and continued to say to Wang Shixian: "After reaching cooperation with the Yu family, Brother Shixian will take the lead in handling all matters. But there is one thing you have to think clearly."
"Liu Lang, please give me your instructions." Wang Shixian gathered his bridle and followed Guo Ning's horse.
"Our cooperation with the Yu family is based on what we need. We use force and are responsible for intimidation and even killing, while they act as a sounding board and tool for making money. Previously, the Yu family did not believe in our force, so they were unwilling to cooperate with us. Cooperation. Although the two companies have cooperated now, the Yu family still does not completely believe in us."
"What?" Wang Shixian rode his horse for a while and couldn't help but said: Liulang, I don't understand what you mean."
"You think, within these few days, Yang An'er once again launched an army to rebel and marched towards Shandong with great fanfare; Jing'an people were able to take control of Zhuozhou with his subordinate rebels; we humble people fought with Hu Shahu, the former right deputy marshal, and then we were all And if we retreat, no one can do anything about it. What does this mean? It means that the situation in Daikin is accelerating its deterioration; the order and dignity of Daikin are about to disappear."
Guo Ning raised his voice slightly. He said these words not only to Wang Shixian, but also to all the subordinates around him:
"The Mongols are watching eagerly from the north, and the situation in Daikin is so chaotic. Who would still believe that Daikin can guarantee the safety and security of the people? In this situation, those seemingly gentle and courteous things will soon be thrown away Beyond Jiuxiaoyun. If the Yu family wants to maintain their interests in Xinqiao Camp and gain a foothold in the inevitable chaos, relying on their words is not enough, and relying on our force is not a long-term solution. In the final analysis, we can only rely on them to arrest them. The sword and gun in your own hands."
"Liu Lang is saying that the reason why Yu Xianchun agreed readily is because he is determined to take advantage of the opportunity to cooperate with us and use our force to satisfy his appetite? The Yu family is no longer pretending? They are going to expand themselves in a big way. Got strength?"
"Exactly."
Wang Shixian pondered for a moment: "It doesn't matter what the Yu family wants. After all, our roots are not in Hebei. And we are not a knife in the hands of the local tyrants. What we should do and what we shouldn't do is not up to the Yu family. We are making fuss. There is only one thing that is most important. Since we have agreed on a 30-70 split... what belongs to us is a copper coin and a grain of grain. No one can owe us any debt!"
Guo Ning laughed.
While laughing, he added: "After all, in this world, you rely on mountains and mountains, and water and water. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, the only one you can really rely on is yourself. It is very wise for Mr. Yu to have such an attitude. Then
,What about us?"
Guo Ning looked at everyone with bright eyes: "We people have been betrayed and abandoned a long time ago. Now we only rely on the swords and guns in our hands to find a bowl of food for ourselves and a way to survive. Until now.
, we have enough food, but we have just started on our journey. Do you think that at this moment, we need to rely on someone or rely on someone?"
Before Guo Ning finished speaking, Ni Yi had already shouted: "It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on heaven and earth!"
After he finished shouting, he realized that his identity was not enough, and he blushed and laughed twice.
Some people in the cavalry were sweating faintly on their foreheads.
It turned out that just yesterday evening, Jing'an Min and Nian Cut Zhen had a deep talk in Zhuozhou City and reached an agreement. Nian Cut Zhen would still be his governor of Zhuozhou, while Jing'an Min used Nian Cut Zhen's subordinates to "defend thousands of households in Zhuozhou town".
In name, he assisted Nian Gezhen to stabilize Zhuozhou, but in fact he gained control of Zhuozhou.
This position, along with the incidental official rank of Zhongwu Xiaowei from the seventh rank, Nian Gezhen immediately wrote the appointment document and sent someone to the central capital that night, just waiting for the official seal.
In the early years, it was not easy to take up the position of military attache. Unless appointed by a senior official at the road level, he could not overcome the many hurdles of the Zhongshu Province.
But in the past two years, the border area has been uneasy, and it is the time to recruit people. The imperial court in Zhongdu has almost refused to accept the official appointment documents sent by the defense prefectures and governor prefectures. Anyway, the salaries are all raised by the local government, and there is no need for Zhongdu to spend anything.
.
With the power of the local governor, the highest he can give is from the seventh rank. Niang Gezhen did this, which is considered sincere. In the future, there will be no problem in his cooperation with Jing Anmin in Zhuozhou. And Jing Anmin and his subordinates
, thus gaining official status and recognition, and making a lot of money.
Because of their origins, the defeated soldiers generally maintained a certain respect for the imperial court. At this time, seeing the Jing'an Civilian Division transformed into the Zhuozhou Defense Forces that fed on the emperor's food, the soldiers of the imperial court were inevitably a little envious.
Someone immediately suggested that after Guo Ning returned to Anzhou, he should also meet Tu Shanhang, the governor of Anzhou, and follow the example of Jing'an people in Zhuozhou, obtain an official position, and arrange the future for his subordinates.
After listening to Guo Ning say this, these people understood that Guo Ning's interest was not in this. At that moment, some people nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced; some people's faces also had a look of loss.
Guo Ning saw it in his eyes, but did not show it in his expression. He smiled and said to everyone: "It's time to give back to the Junhe camp."
