Yili Chucai could naturally say what he wanted to say, but Pusan Anzhen had already made up his mind. He would never go north again, let alone Zhongdu.
Even though the Mongolian army is in the direction of Zhigu Village at this time, and the Ding navy is fighting in a chaotic mess, those Mongolian knights are all good at horseback, and they often drive hundreds of miles day and night. Who knows that they will not suddenly arrive, and then
Kill him under the city of Zhongdu and bleed like a river of blood?
Pusan Anzhen worked hard in Hebei for more than half a year, eliminating many obstacles, subduing and even killing many people who were holding back. Only then did he reorganize the Thirteen Meng'an on the east and west roads of Hebei and build a Jurchen-based army in his hands.
core military strength.
He had high hopes for this army, hoping that they could set an example for Meng'an Mooke, who were in a rotten quagmire everywhere, and become national elites that Daikin could rely on. So he put a lot of effort into training and treatment.
Precisely because of this, he really did not want this army to hastily confront a powerful enemy.
At least not yet. In a year and a half, when the soldiers are more refined and the equipment is better, they will sooner or later have a chance to encounter the Mongols. But now, the army of more than 10,000 people has just been formed. They are not only scattered soldiers.
Zhen's reliance is the seed for the Jurchens to re-energize and revive their martial arts. This kind of seed is so precious that Anzhen does not want to waste his strength at all.
Yi La Chu Cai also saw this clearly, so that's why he spoke like this.
This is inevitable. After all, a group of civilians dared to go to Zhongdu, which was besieged by heavy troops, but the serious Jurchens were patrolling outside. Even if the assassin was a modest gentleman, he would always feel a little unhappy in his heart.
According to Pusan Anzhen's past temperament, he was about to refute on the spot. But now he pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Your Guo Xuan envoy sent troops and transported food for the overall purpose of resisting Mongolia. I, Pusan Anzhen, will hold firm.
Hebei is also for the overall purpose of resisting Mongolia. Don’t forget, Jin Qing, that the reason why you can stay safely in Shandong is because I control the key passes in Hebei and try my best to block the Mongols’ southward intention. As for the merit of King Qin who entered Zhongdu
, it should be your family’s mission, and I’m not jealous.”
Yi La Chucai chuckled twice: "What the Pusan Envoy said is true, but I just made a mistake."
"To the west of Liangxiang, there are undulating mountains such as Longquan Mountain and Fulonggang. To the south is Yangou, which is enough to deter the Mongolian troops from Zhuozhou. Thirteen miles to the east is the Lugou River. Walk along the river for twenty miles to the north and cross Guangzhou.
After Liqiao, walk another twenty miles to Zhongdu. This distance can be reached in an hour by Qingqi, but if your baggage team moves more quickly, it can be passed in one day."
Pusan Anzhen looked into the distance and continued: "I have sent out capable scouts to investigate the movements of Zhongdu, but there has been no response so far. When will the soldiers and horses of Zhongdu arrive? I will meet them and we are done.
.What happens after that is up to you!"
"Zhongdu and Yijin Pass are separated by more than two hundred miles, and there are many enemy cavalry patrols and garrison areas halfway. It is very difficult to deliver the message, so I cannot agree on a specific time limit. However, I also sent people to Zhongdu for two consecutive days to contact
Come on, I think food and materials are in short supply in the city. I have more than 30,000 stones of food here, so we must not lose anything. Soldiers and horses will come out of the city to meet us tomorrow at the latest."
"Tomorrow?"
Pusan Anzhen frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he just said: "Our troops will rest in Liangxiang for at most one day, and we will set off and turn back tomorrow to avoid missing Yijin Pass. How is the response in the city, Jin Qing, please keep an eye on it yourself!"
"That's as it should be." Yizai Chucai bowed slightly.
While the two were talking, Pusan Anzhen's soldiers and horses were arrayed on the stone hill to the east of Liangxiang, while Ding Haijun's baggage queue slowly entered the county town under the cover of hundreds of light cavalry.
The Ding Navy has dispatched so many civilians and supplies, so naturally it will not travel empty-handed, but will completely entrust its own safety to Pusan Anzhen. The civilians accompanying the baggage team are obviously carefully selected.
And most of them are equipped with swords and other side weapons.
In the eyes of Hebei soldiers, any civil servant pushing a cart or driving a donkey in the baggage train was a capable man. Many of them had obvious signs of military training, and some even acted with murderous intent.
This situation shocked Meng'an Muke at first, but after asking about it, they found out that these civil servants were among the children of Yinhu households in Shandong who had a good chance of signing up for the army; many of them were not soldiers now.
Although I am a householder, I have served as a soldier, fought in wars, and even killed people in Shandong, Hebei and other places.
Such people, placed in Hebei, have probably been recruited into the army. Even if they are not trying to conquer the army in Meng'an, they can still find generals in other armies of Pusan Anzhen. But in Shandong, about a year ago,
There have been so many refugees admitted in recent years, and to treat these people as ordinary hard-working civil servants is really a bright pearl cast into darkness.
So from the time they arrived at Yijin Pass, Anzhen's subordinates used various excuses to deal with these people and make promises in a roundabout way.
In particular, Wanyan Tulu, who was unfavorable in the battle in Shandong that day, lost Hebei's prestige on the battlefield and had loopholes in running the army, so he was severely punished by Pusan Anzhen several times. Now that Pusan Anzhen's power has expanded a lot, he
On the contrary, the strength of his troops was not as good as when he was stationed in Qinghe Town.
Seeing that Shandong used so many capable men as ordinary people, Wanyan was so angry that he did not hesitate to condescend to talk to those people in person, and even took money or handed over banknotes on the spot, hoping to seduce them to join him.
The result is very frustrating.
Among the tens of thousands of people among the people, Wan Yan was talking to no less than thirty or fifty people, but not one of them responded to him, and not one of them took money seriously.
Some people even blatantly slandered Wanyan, in today's world, what is reliable? If you hold money in your hand, it will be robbed; when the land is half served, someone will come and burn it to death; you must have a reliable leader to lead you.
Only with countless reliable partners can you guarantee what you get. Otherwise, no matter how much you get, you won't be able to keep it for a few days, and even your own life will become someone else's.
At first, Wanyan didn't understand what he was saying, so he boasted about how good my servant was as the propaganda envoy. As a result, the civil servant who spoke before said blankly: "I can only trust our ambassador Guo, no other court officials.
I don’t believe it when it comes to envoys, even marshals, princes, and emperors!”
When it comes to this topic, we can no longer talk about it.
During the military meeting that night, Pusan Anzhen asked about Wanyan's false talk, and Wanyan's false talk was reported in detail. Pusan Anzhen was so angry that he jumped up and said repeatedly that the whole Shandong Province is full of rebels.
After the violence, the two families still have to cooperate.
But Pusan Anzhen's subordinates were really afraid of the nonsense of those people and kept a distance from them from then on.
At this time, Wan Yan was standing on the high point of the stone hill, looking at the servants San Anzhen and Yi La Chucai who were talking, and at the civil servants and the light cavalry protecting the civil servants.
He was really itching and couldn't bear it, so he asked his surroundings: "Where are the cavalry? The civilians are already so fierce, and the cavalry are even more elite. Who has gone to find out which section they belong to? Is there anything we can do..."
"I heard that this cavalry is guarded by Guo Ning's personal soldiers. Many of the cavalry are famous warriors drawn from various ministries, or the backbone of the army such as corps commanders and commanders, so they are extremely tough. The leader, Zhao Jue, accompanies him every day.
Guo Ning is inseparable."
Well, for such a team, the treatment will be more generous, and they will be more loyal to Guo Ning. It is too difficult to poach someone.
