The group of people in front of him were obviously subordinates of the famous officials in Guide Mansion. Judging from the color of their clothes, some were green and several were in red robes. Guo Ning personally went to the heart of the enemy. Peng Yibin thought that he
To capture a thief and a king, one would seize the leader as a hostage, and then in turn force the defenders to surrender.
But never thought that Guo Ning would just order the killing without even asking?
Peng Yibin was considered the most powerful person among the bandits in Taishan, but his reaction was a little slower at this moment. So when the heads of the officials were missing, he crashed into the erupting blood mist, and then rushed out of the blood mist.
He spurred his horse and rushed into the hall.
After the main hall, there was a second hall. There were still people shouting and rushing out, and they were all killed immediately. Some people fled through the windows and were shot to death by the cavalry who surrounded the corridors on both sides. The side rooms to the left and right of the second hall were places.
At the office of the subordinate officials, several minor officials were originally looking into the room. They were forced out by the cavalry on horseback and fell to their knees on the ground.
There is no need to kill such a defenseless little person indiscriminately.
Guo Ning's voice immediately came from not far behind: "Those who surrender will stay."
The blade deflected at the last moment and passed over the head of a kneeling official, slicing off the entire bun of his hair. The war horse leaped up with a neigh and passed in front of him, knocking away several tables and chairs. The soldier riding the horse
Looking extraordinarily tall and fierce under the eaves, they rushed through the second hall, and then divided their forces into several groups. Like floods pouring into an ant nest, they began to sweep away the entire government office.
Guo Ning was galloping in the cavalry queue, giving orders from time to time to direct the cavalry. His tone was very calm, as if he was usually instructing his subordinates to move wooden stakes or arrow targets around at home.
When the cavalry rushed through the second hall, some guards armed with weapons reacted. Peng Yibin and his subordinates also joined the battle group and slashed with swords.
The cavalry ran very fast and were very skilled in martial arts. In the blink of an eye, they cleaned several sections of a huge house and captured a bunch of surrendered officials.
Taking control of the entire mansion in one breath, Peng Yibin returned with blood on his armor:
"There were some old, weak, women and children behind, and they were all arrested. Most of those who tried to escape were killed, but some ran too fast and could not be caught."
Guo Ning looked at the clerks kneeling on the square in front of the main hall, and then listened carefully. Sure enough, someone fled from the steward's house to the outside, shouting at the top of his lungs all the way.
Peng Yibin turned back in a hurry, his face a little heavy: "We can't control the courtyard wall and arrow tower outside. If they mobilize people outside to surround us, it will be difficult for us to escape. Duke, should we..."
Peng Yibin's question was interrupted by Guo Ning.
"Ahem, the prisoners are in front, please speak softly. Also, don't talk about the duke again, I am now the marshal from Kaifeng."
Guo Ning continued to listen to the shouting outside, and tugged at his mustache:
"You guys think, what kind of marshal should I call myself? Wanyan? Pusan? He Shilie? Shuhu or something? It seems that there are many empty marshals in Kaifeng, and there are some with the surname Yila... Hmm? They are here now
What are you shouting? Why did Marshal Aotun appear again? What the hell is this? Who thought of the font size?"
The first cavalryman at the back of the queue pushed his way to the front: "I think, the country... ah no, marshal. At that time, the imperial court had an important general named Ao Tunxiang, who was a marshal."
The cavalry general spoke with a Datong accent. It seemed that he was a survivor of the defeat at Migukou. No wonder he was deeply impressed by Ao Tunxiang.
Guo Ning waved him away.
Xu Wei thought for a while and said to Guo Ning: "Let's go with the surname Wanyan. There are many high-ranking officials named Wanyan in Kaifeng City."
"If your surname is Wanyan, I've thought of a name!"
Guo Ning suddenly felt a little happy, and he said: "Since my boy's name is Guo Jing, I have to use this name to enjoy myself! Lao Xu, go write a set of talismans and tell yourself, and show it to people outside!"
"
What is the relationship between a person named Wanyan and Zhou Guogong’s eldest son?
Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Guo Ning's meaningless words meant.
However, he had been in the center for a long time and knew well that he should not ask questions, so he immediately arranged for Fu Xin to report himself. Peng Yibin and others assigned manpower to capture the entire general manager's mansion.
It turned out that until this time, the fleeing officials still did not expect that Ding Haijun suddenly attacked. A few people were still confused, but most people really thought that it was a marshal from Kaifeng or somewhere who had a conflict with the officials stationed in the city.
The more daring officials quickly climbed up the outer wall of the archery tower and shouted into the mansion, meaning that everyone should not misunderstand. We are all our own people and loyal ministers of Dai Jin. We have something to say.
In the past few years, wars have been raging in the Kingdom of Jin. In order to prevent the generals from being too weak and causing trouble, the imperial court continued to grant local generals the power to deal with the situation on an ad hoc basis. When Guo Ning became the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong, he and the marshal of the DPRK were at the same level.
A major general can decide whether to punish officials below the fourth rank at will.
After the establishment of the Kaifeng imperial court, it mainly focused on wooing the generals stationed in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places, and the center of the Kaifeng imperial court also continued to enhance the power of military ministers.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the marshals of the imperial court to kill several local officials and officials. Even internal conflicts among generals occur one after another. Although outsiders do not know about these things, how can the officials not know about them?
This also involves conflicts between Jurchens and Han'er, conflicts between senior military and political officials from the north and local old people on Nanjing Road, and even conflicts between warriors and civil servants, and conflicts between warriors competing for troops and territory. As Kaifeng
With the establishment of the imperial court, some contradictions were slightly bridged, while others became more intense.
The final result is what it is now.
Peng Yibin felt that Guo Ning's style was too rough, and there was always a danger of him slipping out of his trap and revealing his secrets. But in the eyes of the local officials, the cavalry in front of them rushed into the city fiercely, acting unscrupulously.
That well-trained posture, that squinting attitude from above, isn't it exactly the style of a soldier of a major general in Kaifeng?
If there were still some vague worries at the beginning, whether it was the red-coated thieves from the east who sent people to the Guide Mansion to cause trouble, now no one thought so at all.
How could anyone handle the matter of lurking and disrupting in such a rough and public manner? If you are a spy to this extent, you will be exposed a hundred times if you show up a hundred times, and you deserve to be dragged out and beaten to death by your own leader!
What's more, this group of cavalry was shouting and shouting along the way, opening their mouths and calling out deer charms, fish charms, gold medals, etc.
The talisman system of the imperial dynasty was inherited from the Liao Dynasty. Officials in the Privy Council used deer talismans, Xuanfu divisions used fish talismans, and leading generals were awarded gold medals. There are many details in them that outsiders would never be able to tell casually, let alone mention.
Those red coat thieves are thieves!
So these people are really from Kaifeng! It couldn’t be more true!
Think again what those people said when they rushed straight into the city? There was a marshal in their team!
The marshal acted like this because he obviously had an old grudge with Mr. Wanyan Bi of our Shandong province. They kept saying they were here to rescue Guide Mansion, but then they went ahead and killed people... Maybe they were taking advantage of Wanyan Bi.
Bi went to Xuzhou to seize territory!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. The more senior officials thought of the trouble, the faster they all changed their expressions.
There was only one younger official who didn't think much about it at all.
When Guo Ning and others rushed into the General Manager's Mansion, he was stabbed in the shoulder. Although it only hurt his flesh, he was inevitably angry. He covered the stab wound on his shoulder and shouted at the arrow tower high up: "The person who came here is not evil! That must be it.
We are here for Marshal Wanyan! Fire your arrows quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, several people around him rushed over to cover his mouth.
Isn't this nonsense? This cavalry is not here for Marshal Wanyan, so how can it be for you and me? How can you be targeted by a big shot from Kaifeng with only a few ranks of officials like you?
How deep of a friendship do you have with Mr. Wanyanbi, a piece of shit like you? Are you worthy of being involved in the grudges of big shots?
The soldier guarding the door outside said that the marshal who entered the mansion was either named Wanyan, Pusan or He Shilie! There are so many high-ranking officials named Wanyan in Kaifeng Mansion, and we can't even recognize them all. They are in conflict with each other.
Is it something that we, local officials, can casually participate in?
Those Jurchen nobles rushed into the mansion and immediately killed all the red-robed officials. If they wanted to continue killing people, it would be easier than crushing an ant to death!
If you want to die, don't take us with you!
At that moment, the climber shouted again: "Marshal inside! The little people dare not be enemies with you! Marshal Wanyanbi and his subordinates left the city four days ago to reinforce Xuzhou. We are just small local officials.
We don’t dare to be enemies with high-ranking officials of the imperial court! We just take a bite of our salary!”
What he said was probably very reasonable, and there was a reaction in the general manager's office.
A cavalryman came out of the main entrance, looked around and asked: "Who called just now? Call him!"
The officials and soldiers were silent for a while, and no less than dozens of people raised their hands to look to the people above.
After a while, an old official ran out of the watchtower and knelt down in front of the knight's horse: "I'd like to see you, little man Xu Fu."
The knight laughed: "So it's my family. What is your current position?"
"The villain is the boss of the local chief minister."
The knight frowned: "The tone of the shouting is not small, and he still thinks he is a person who has the final say. Turns out he is just a hooker? Where is the judge above you?"
Xu Fu's head was covered in cold sweat, and he kowtowed and replied: "When I was running with the judge, the judge was chased and killed by the gentlemen. The blood on my body came from the judge's stomach..."
The knight snorted coldly: "Then, where are the military commanders of Guide Mansion?"
"Ahem, he was also killed. Sir, look back and see that the lone head on the steps of the main hall is."
"What about city defense and control?"
"This..." Xu Fu hesitated for a long time and sighed: "Sir, look under the war horse. After the city guard girl Xi Lie came out, it was the one who just led the way. His neck was cut and his body was on the threshold.
Lie down."
"Then tell me, who has a high enough status in the city right now and is the one who can speak the truth?"
Xu Fu turned around and took a look. Wherever he looked, his colleagues and soldiers all shrank back.
"Ahem, if Master has any instructions, just tell me!"
"That's all, that's all. You take over this document!"
The knight took out a document from his arms and handed it to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu's hands were shaking wildly. He took the document and opened it. He saw a transfer document from Shangshu Province. There were only two lines on it, which said that the imperial court appointed King Zhao Wanyan Honglie as the commander-in-chief of the East and West Roads of Shandong and the marshal of the east.
The general manager of the military and horse capital of De Mansion.
How had a lowly official like Xu Fu ever seen a document from the Shangshu Province? Not to mention him, none of the officials and officials who escaped had seen it. But even if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they could always estimate the authenticity of the document.
Fake, the big red seal can’t deceive people, and neither can the exquisite document materials!
If I had to find a flaw, it would be that the ink marks on the document were still wet, as if they were newly written.
But so what? Everyone is familiar with operations such as filing a personal complaint in blank. Think about it, how powerful is a master who can write a ministerial document on the spot?
It is obvious that Master Wanyanbi has lost power, and a new master has come from Kaifeng to take over Guide Mansion and succeed him as Marshal of the East. He is still an imperial prince!
"Have you finished reading?"
The knight asked impatiently: "After reading this, summon the local officials. My marshal has many things to ask you to do!"
