Guo Ning's words were very easy, just like after getting up early, giving instructions about drinking tea and eating.
The surrounding soldiers who heard this order were stunned for a moment. There was a small colonel nearby who was hanging the armor on his shoulder, and the strength in his hand suddenly became chaotic. The armor fell and hit the instep with a bang.
It hurt so much that he screamed "ouch".
Some of the soldiers a little further away heard Guo Ning's words clearly, while others didn't. Many of them were busy with what they were doing, but now they stopped and whispered.
"Did you hear that?"
"It seems that we are going to which city gate in Zhongdu?"
"But isn't Zhongdu City already in chaos? I heard from the scouts last night that the Mongols have entered the city. With such a momentum, I don't know how many enemies there are. Let's just go through like this. Isn't it, isn't it..."
Many soldiers looked at each other, and finally swallowed the word "send to death".
In a team of one thousand people, two to three hundred people whispered, and their voices could no longer be suppressed. Shi Tianni and other generals were immediately embarrassed, but they themselves also had doubts.
With such doubts, the cavalrymen became somewhat silent while eating breakfast. Almost no one was laughing or joking. Instead, they kept exchanging glances and whispering.
Guo Ning seemed to be missing, minding his own meal.
It has to be said that the hidden strength of the Yongqing historians on Zhongdu Road is very important. Thousands of cavalry went north from Sanjiaidian, traveling more than a hundred miles day and night. Every time there would be Mongolian sentries passing by along the way, Shi Tianni could always predict it.
Generally, take the team to a location that is just out of the way.
Guo Ning asked himself that he was very familiar with the Mongols, but he couldn't do it to this extent. He just knew the surrounding geography, and it was impossible to do so. Apparently Shi Tianni's father had worked closely with Mu Huali
Shi Bingzhi was active in the Mongolian army for two years and gained a lot.
While these more than a thousand cavalry were galloping, the Yongqing historians were able to ensure the supply of food and fodder. They ate well every day, including steamed buns, scones and pickles. This made people feel even more sincere.
Guo Ning ate and drank a lot. He ate two steamed buns and three scones with half a bowl of pickles. He touched his belly and burped: "I'm full."
Seeing him getting up and about to mount his horse, Shi Tianni and others came over again.
"Ahem, envoy..."
"Haha, please tell me if you have something to say, Brother Hefu."
"Last night we also dispatched manpower to investigate the situation in Zhongdu. Shuhu Gaoqi has rebelled, and Mu Huali has led his army into the city. Currently, there are at least 30,000 to 50,000 people in the city driven by the Mongols!"
Guo Ning laughed: "I know."
It was normal for everyone in front of me to have such doubts. Guo Ning was not surprised at all.
After the war in Dianbei, Bazhou Triangle, the Ding Navy Headquarters followed its usual practice of reviewing the war command process overnight and arranging the subsequent troop dispatch. The specific figures on the results and casualties have not yet been released. From the new faces of the officers participating in the military meeting,
If there are many, we can already see the heavy casualties.
The number of Dinghai troops going north this time was not large, but they were all elite soldiers, so the ratio of officers to veterans was extremely high. There were twenty officers at the rank of commander in the army, and only thirteen participated in the military meeting that night. No.
Of the seven people who came, two were seriously injured and it was unclear whether they would survive, and five had already died on the battlefield.
Among them, there was a unit under Wang Shixian's command, and the person who came to the meeting was a young lieutenant. Because of the command of the unit's chief and deputy, and even the subordinates on the left and right were all killed in the battle, it was the lieutenant's turn to be promoted from the front line, leading thirty or fifty troops.
Paying such a heavy price, in exchange for a devastating blow to Genghis Khan's cowardly army, and in exchange for the invincible Genghis Khan no longer being able to brag about his invincibility, was worth it.
But the navy itself cannot continue to fight.
Even if we don't talk about the loss of troops, the soldiers are still human beings after all, not made of iron. Their energy and physical strength have their limits. And fighting for several days, marching in a hurry, and fighting again have completely exhausted the soldiers' ability.
After the victory was completely determined, most of the soldiers collapsed on the ground, exhausted as if they were dead. Not only were they unable to fight, they almost had no strength to move their fingers.
In fact, on the day the battle ended and the next day, almost all the tasks of cleaning the battlefield, rescuing the wounded, and arranging campsites were carried out by the rebels who rushed from all over to gather after hearing the news of the victory.
Guo Ning was very appreciative of these rebel soldiers who saw the situation clearly in time and walked towards a bright road. So he quickly proposed that he needed the help of the rebels to advance the subsequent war.
The rebel leaders were all enthusiastic about this.
The Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia have been fighting back and forth for so many years, turning thousands of miles of frontiers and inland areas into battlefields. So far, there are not many rural soldiers on the battlefield where such giant beasts fight.
Even where they are directly used by the subordinate army. They are more like hyenas, content to rely on the strong and share a little bit of remaining flesh and blood on the fallen corpse of the weak.
Now that Haijun is a strong man, Guo Ning is naturally supported by countless people. As a strong man, isn't it natural for Guo Ning to provide some benefits to everyone?
So Guo Ning gave an order, and the leaders of the subordinate armies gathered in the north of Sanjiaodian gathered a thousand cavalry. Several particularly active rebel leaders contributed all the subordinate knights around them. Such as Shi Tianni, Yelu
Kekou Baer, Li Shouzheng and others, their own wings are not weak, but they all had the stain of following the Mongols before. Now they are even more loyal and loyal. They beat their chests and want to follow Guo Xuanshi, even if they go through fire and water.
fear.
In fact, this kind of statement cannot be taken seriously, and these people will not easily go through life and death for Ding Haijun. But now Ding Haijun does need their support.
With the decline of Dajin, more and more forces are emerging in various places, and they are becoming stronger and stronger. Although the Dinghai Navy is growing rapidly, these forces have also shown their magical powers and have grown to a point that cannot be ignored.
For example, Shi Tianni, Yelu Kechou Baer, Li Shouzheng, and even Shi Tianying, Xueta Lahai and others who fought with the Dinghai Navy in Zhigu Village, all have the capital of a hero in troubled times. These people give orders.
Next, from Zhending in Hebei Province to Linhuang Mansion, you can easily attract tens of thousands of people.
With their help, the Ding navy became even more powerful. Taking advantage of the majesty of defeating Genghis Khan, it could instantly sweep across the vast territory and achieve hegemony.
But these people are able to gain a foothold in troubled times, and they are by no means a waste of money. Although Shi Tianni is gentle and polite, Yelu Keqiu Baer, Shen Xiong Lingran, and Li Shouzheng are also full of martial arts, in fact, all of them are cruel and cunning people.
, let alone think that you can talk about loyalty with them.
Guo Ning has a keen eye on the thoughts of these people; he also knows their tempers very well. Because he himself is a hero in the wilderness. If not for chance, the best future for him and his generals would be different from that of others.
The rebel leaders in front of me are no different.
Guo Ning understood that if he really wanted to subdue them, it would not only be difficult to suddenly restrict them by the rules of the navy while their strength was still there, but it would also easily lead to rebellion. Even if Genghis Khan entered the Central Plains, he would only drive them, not
Not completely annexed and conquered.
But what Guo Ning wants is different from Genghis Khan. What he wants to do is not to be the leader of a military alliance, but the leader of a solid political power! So Guo Ning wants to really surrender them!
During the two days when he sent his army north from Bazhou, he did not stay in the camp of his own guards, but in the camp of these rebels. It was as if he was unprepared to get along with these people day and night, as if they were brothers. This is true to the heart.
Shi Tianni and others were very moved by this, and they gathered around Guo Ning every day to flatter him. This is the wisdom of a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero.
But Guo Ning's methods don't stop there.
To truly conquer these characters, we must make them admire them from the bottom of their hearts, and let them truly understand that Changzhou Guo Ning is much stronger than any of them!
Guo Ning put his legs on the horse's stirrups, urged the horse forward a few steps, and turned back with a smile: "Quickly, let's go to Fengyi Gate, kill Shuhu Gaoqi and Mu Huali, and capture Zhongdu."
Shi Tianni's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "I'll go with the envoy!"
That's Zhongdu City! There are thousands of Mongols and tens of thousands of rebels in the city! What are our thousands of cavalry used for? If the elite headquarters of the Ding Navy comes here, it will be fine. Who among us doesn't know?
What is your own background? Can these thousands of people be able to fight a tough battle?
Yelu Kechoubal and Li Shouzheng stuffed a series of questions back into their stomachs.
They were silent for a while, looking at Shi Tianni who was riding behind Guo Ning as if he didn't care, and finally made up his mind.
