There was no trace of color on Tu Shanhang's face, and his voice lowered involuntarily: "He is Wanyan Gang's capable subordinate. The escorting troops are fiercely attached to the enemy."
This name fell in Guo Ning's ears, and there was no shock. Wang Shixian reacted later. He took half a step forward and asked solemnly: "Is this the Chizhan Sagai from Shaanxi back then?"
"Exactly."
Tu Shanhang sighed: "This Chizhan Sagai is Wanyan Gang's most trusted confidant. Ever since Wanyan Gang served as the pacifier of the Shuhan Road and raised the issue of raising troops and horses, he has been driven by Wanyan Gang.
On that day when the Jin and Song Dynasties were fighting, the Shaanxi generals were quite similar and different. Chizhan Sagai ran through them in tandem, using both soft and hard tactics, which cost many lives... Only then did the loose Shaanxi generals gather together."
After hearing what he said, Wang Shixian sneered twice. It seemed that this person's method of doing things was extraordinary, and it was not just as simple as taking some lives.
Guo Ning didn't ask questions for the time being, and just listened to Tu Shanhang's words with concentration.
Tu Shanhang continued: "Just this morning, Chizhan Sagai suddenly came to Wocheng County with more than a hundred fine cavalry, showing off his carriage and horses to see me... I thought that the person who came was not good, so I sent someone to evade him.
Immediately, he and his close companions went out in a hurry, hoping to find Mr. Guo to discuss a solution."
Just leaving when the situation is not going well is something Zu Shanhang can do.
Guo Ning nodded slightly and asked: "Prince Tudan, since you knew about Wanyan Gang's movements five days ago, why didn't you make preparations before or send someone to give Junhe a warning earlier?"
"Of course I am prepared!" Tu Shanhang struggled to retort and continued: "I have contacted Bode Zhang Nu of Xiongzhou and Nian Jiezhen of Zhuozhou and asked them to cheer up. Those two
We all think that the first thing is to communicate with each other in the officialdom, at least to carefully compare the deeds of our joint forces to repel Yang An'er, and don't expose any flaws!"
How ridiculous! Those two people must have heard about the sudden change in the wind direction in the court, so they were busy confessing to each other to protect themselves! This disciple Shanhang is really a noble son, he is so panicked when something happens!
Guo Ning couldn't help but shake his head: "What's the use of this? You should understand, Tu Shan, that the only thing that can save you in the current situation is not those lip service lawsuits in the court."
"How could I not understand? As soon as Chizhansa changed his mind, I understood! Wanyan Gang acted like this, and it was clear that he wanted to overwhelm my uncle's power in the court. It can be seen that whether what is right or wrong in the court has been determined.
There are no rules. And if I want to protect myself, I rely on the strength of my hands. Only with the strength of my hands can I negotiate terms with that Chizhansa!"
Tu Shanhang was unlucky. Not only him, after several years of fierce conquest, many military towns in northern Hebei, whether it was the Baozhou Shuntian Army, the Xiongzhou Yongding Army, or even the Hebei East Road in Hejian Prefecture in the south.
The General Manager's Mansion is all empty!
Tu Shanhang laughed miserably, took a few breaths, and continued:
"I understand that an empty governor cannot compete with Chizhan Sakai! And Liulang, with your unfounded righteousness and bravery, cannot compete with the military might of the Commander-in-Chief of Jinshan Province! Guo Langjun, I am here in person this time.
It is to show your sincerity. I implore you to give up the name of Anzhou Volunteers and formally incorporate your subordinates into the Anzhou Governor's Office! As long as you agree, the post of commander-in-chief will be vacant, and I will give you the military governor and the distiller's salt tax.
The authority of the envoy! As long as you help me this time, we can jointly support the situation in Anzhou, and there will always be a way to fight against Chizhansa!"
He looked at Guo Ning's expression and said: "My Tu Shan clan is deeply rooted in Zhongdu. My uncle Tu Shan Yi was just caught off guard for a moment, so Wan Yan Gang went to Jinshan to seize power. As long as you and I join hands,
If you delay Chizhan's attempt to reform for a while, the situation in the court will definitely change within three to five months. By then, I will pledge my life and property to give you a military governor!"
Having said this, Tu Danhang dug into his pocket and took out a copper seal: "Here is the seal of the governor of Anzhou. As long as you agree, I will write the appointment document immediately!"
He took two rapid breaths and lowered his voice: "Guo Langjun, no matter what, the Dajin court is still here! You have a reputation, which is better than nothing! Even if you want to be the second Yang An'er... that guy will be the top one."
With the title of deputy commander of the Tiewa Ganzhan Army, he also reaped huge benefits!"
Tu Shanhang was released after the political game in Beijing. Although he is now the fifth-rank governor, he was the fourth-rank official minister at that time. He was in charge of the selection of civil and military awards, honors, and examinations. He was called the confidant of the Jin Dynasty.
Minister.
Up to now, he still has the rank of a general official. Once he returns to the court to serve, he will have the opportunity to compete for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
So when he opened his mouth to talk about Jiedushi, it was not necessarily a boast.
But he directly compared Guo Ning to Yang An'er, even if it was because of panic and confusion, it was too abrupt.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Chang, who was listening at the table, suddenly took two steps back, almost knocking over the chairs behind him.
Wang Shixian took half a step forward and gave the old scholar a hand. Both he and Monk Luo focused their eyes on Guo Ning.
"Prince Tudan, I need to consider your proposal."
Guo Ning touched the mustache on his chin, stood up calmly and said, "You can rest here and we will talk tomorrow."
"But...but..."
Chizhan Sagai is in Anzhou now, where can we discuss it slowly?
When this person comes to Anzhou, he must have Wan Yan Gang's secret order. God knows what he wants to do. The delay has been long. Is this person afraid of turning the governor's office upside down?
Is Anzhou under Jinshan Province still the original Anzhou? I am now the governor of Anzhou. If I go back after a few days, will I still be the governor?
Even...since Wan Yan Gang had a falling out with his uncle Tu Shan Yi, his next actions would definitely be ruthless. If Chi Zhan Sa Gai intends to cause trouble, will the head on my neck still be mine?
When Tu Shanhang heard what Guo Ning said, he immediately became anxious. It seemed as if dozens of people were shouting noisily in his mind, making his own ears buzz.
But he is a disciple of Zhongdu. He has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and his physical condition is not very good. Just now, he was hit by an arrow in the buttocks and lost a lot of blood. He was woken up by a basin of cold water. At this moment, his whole body was...
He was about to collapse. If it weren't for the frightening force of the sudden incident in Wocheng County, he would have lost his strength long ago.
When Guo Ning got up and went out, Tu Shanhang planned to catch up and stop him, but his eyelids kept drooping. He managed to mutter a few words, but he leaned sideways and slowly leaned on the bed.
"Go and call the medical officer so that Haosheng can take care of you."
Guo Ning gave a casual order and strode out.
This small village is located in a corner of the Wudian water area that shrinks inward. He walked a few steps and stood in front of the vast water. At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and a light mist drifted from the water and curled along the wall of the village.
It rises and drifts past the watchtower. Along with the fog, there is a cold air.
There was the sound of footsteps behind, and it was Wang Chang who hurriedly followed.
Wang Chang said softly: "In the past few years, the Tudan family in Zhongdu has become very talented. In addition to Tudan Yi, there is also Shan Nanping, a disciple of Daxing Prefecture. He uses his honor and luck to do things, and his influence is overwhelming both at home and abroad. Although today's Taoists have no
Xiong Lue was not negligent in the balance of government affairs. The establishment of Jinshan Province was only due to Wan Yan Gang's advantage in military affairs, which caught Tu Dan Yi off guard. And Tu Dan's allies, wings, branches, and general associations
We will launch campaigns one after another and compete with them. Guo Langjun and Shan Shanxingshi are right when they say that within three to five months, the situation will definitely change."
Guo Ning nodded and shook his head: "In three to five months, Anzhou cannot be in chaos; let alone anyone reach under my eyes. In three to five months, the Mongolian army will inevitably move south. By then... who will...
Do you care about the flies and dogs in Zhongdu City?"
"It turns out that this is what Guo Langjun thinks."
Wang Chang sighed with emotion. There was no fear or dissatisfaction in his sigh.
Guo Ning smiled and looked at the water for a while, and said: "I found a village leader from the mountains and fields, and he was so familiar with the court affairs and the situation of the senior officials in Zhongdu. I didn't expect this at all. Mr. Wang... Hey,
Is your surname really Wang?"
Wang Chang looked hesitant. After a moment, he bowed and did not answer any questions.
Guo Ning then asked: "What kind of person is Wan Yan Gang? And what kind of person is Chi Zhan Sa Gai?"
Wang Chang thought for a while and began to explain in detail to Guo Ning.
