The deeper the cooperation between Yili Chucai and Guo Ning, the more he admired Guo Ning's military talent.
In his eyes, Guo Ning is always bold and radical in specific tactics, but in the general direction, he is extremely cautious and never neglects. This is undoubtedly the characteristic of a famous general.
Especially in terms of defense against the Mongols, Guo Ning's position and judgment were trustworthy in moving Chu materials.
Therefore, his shock and shake were particularly intense.
Yiza Chucai's feelings for Dai Jin have always been very contradictory.
On the one hand, he is a Confucian scholar and has received the education of loyalty to the emperor and country since childhood. His father, Yi Lalu, was a Confucian minister who was calm and trustworthy. His mentor, Shan Yi, worked hard and did not hesitate to use any means to continue Dai Jin's loyal ministers.
This cannot but leave a deep imprint on Yizai Chucai.
But on the other hand, his position as a Khitan and his understanding of the thousand-year history of the birth and death of the tribes in northern Xinjiang all told him that the rise of the Jurchens was inevitable, but their demise was inevitable. If the Mongols destroyed the Jurchens, it would be like this. The Jurchens of that year defeated the Khitan.
At that time, the Jurchens dominated the world with tens of thousands of people, and it lasted less than ten years. In the autocratic domain, their country was certainly strong, and their military use was as if they were riding the wind. But the key reason for the Khitan's failure lies in the Khitan itself. The Khitan people have never been able to truly integrate the vast territory and the various tribes under their rule. Therefore, the defeat of Hubu Dagang caused people's hearts to be turbulent and collapsed everywhere.
The current situation in Dajin is only more critical than that in Daliao back then.
The Mongols were probably even more ferocious than the Jurchens back then. Back then, the Liao Dynasty managed to gather an army of 700,000 to protect the Buda Post... How can the Jurchens still have such strength now?
The Jurchens' elite troops capable of suppressing all directions had been lost in the disastrous defeats last year and the year before last, and the Jurchens barely mentioned the integration of various tribes. In northern Xinjiang, the Chi Army and the Yi Army, composed of the Wanggu and Khitan people, had already cooperated with the Mongols on a large scale and even served as the vanguard.
If the Han'er of the Great Jin Kingdom were not generally loyal and obedient and willing to accept the rule of the Jurchens, the Great Jin Kingdom would have been overthrown long ago!
But Han'er's integrity only goes so far. When the Mongols invaded Hebei for the third time and entered Hebei so easily, it means that at the many passes along the Yanshan defense line, there were important generals who commanded the border garrison and surrendered to the Mongols. This scene was just like that of that year. The end of Liao is the beginning of the collapse of everything!
Daikin is about to end... So, if I want to move Chu Cai, what should I choose?
Many thoughts flashed through Chucai's mind, but in reality they only lasted a moment. He was slightly distracted, and then he saw Guo Ning's face, and the corners of Guo Ning's mouth seemed to be smiling.
Yi La Chucai is honest and restrained, and has his own opinions. In the past, such a smile could not affect him at all.
But at this moment, he was shaken and subconsciously ashamed of being shaken, so he couldn't help asking loudly: "Guo Langjun, why are you laughing? Pucha Ali's five thousand cavalry will arrive soon, and they are aimed at us." Come! And the Mongolian army... No, what are you laughing at? We, the people in the Xijun River camp, with thousands of lives, are about to be crushed into powder before our eyes!"
Guo Ning smiled even more openly.
He was just as shaken when he first heard the news. It's just that he suppressed it forcefully and always maintained a resolute attitude, so as not to let the subordinates around him see it.
He also did not expect that the Mongols would break through the Yanshan defense line so smoothly that while he himself was still in Hejian Prefecture, Anzhou would have to face the most terrifying military front and the most ferocious enemy in the world. Guo Ning is inevitably worried about his friends who have reunited, and the Lu siblings who have followed him for many years.
But he has experienced too many failures and bloodshed. The worst situation in front of him is just another failure. What else can he do? In this world, do you still have a lot to lose?
Therefore, he picked himself up faster than anyone else.
When he saw Yizai Chucai's gaffe, he was even a little moved.
"No. Jin Qing, everyone will be fine."
Guo Ning said in a deep voice: "Dajin is so weak, the Mongols will definitely attack again this year. You and I have known about this for a long time. So do you think I didn't prepare in advance?"
Yi La Chucai suddenly cheered up: "Prepared? Guo Langjun, have you made preparations?"
He reacted very quickly and said in an instant: "It's Wang Shixian! He doesn't interfere in the affairs of farmers in the farm, but he and his subordinates often leave the camp for ten and a half months... It's Wang Shixian, right? Guo Lang Jun, you must have some instructions for him!"
"Not bad." Guo Ning nodded.
"Nowadays, there is no need to hide these arrangements from Jin Qing. In Anzhou, there are undulating hills, standing in the west and turning in the north, the confluence of nine rivers, the confluence of the south and the east, the Pichi and the Zeze, and the left and right, and the terrain is complex and abnormal. Especially in Near the Gucheng Store in the northeast, there is a place called Dengxia Valley. Although it is a bit smaller, it is extremely hidden, and the road is ten times more difficult to walk between ponds than ordinary ponds..."
Yizai Chucai couldn't help but said: "The deep valleys of the big streams and the dense trees are a perfect place for riding!"
"Not bad!" Guo Ning nodded again: "Wang Shixian has been secretly operating that hidden place in the past two months. Now food, water, and supplies are all available. As long as the response from the feedjunhe camp is fast enough, we can With everyone's relatives and family members, they all retreated to that place to hide. The Mongols went south to attack Daijin, and they did not come for our Xijunhe camp. As long as they could avoid the inspection of their sentries and cavalry, the Mongolian army would naturally go south. , this desperate situation is over!"
If there was such an arrangement, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Yi La Chucai felt a little displeased, but he soon understood that this was a cunning rabbit's den prepared in advance for extreme dangers. Not to mention Yi La Chu Cai, an outsider, even most of the people in the military camp were also unknown.
That kind of stronghold in complex terrain must be limited in scale. If this news spreads and many people from the surrounding area come to the area, then everyone will not be able to avoid the sight of the Mongols, and they will all die.
Guo Ning did this, although it was cruel and cold-blooded, but he had to do it.
But this preparation is not necessarily very clever.
Yi La Chucai calmed his breathing for a moment, and then asked again: "Guo Langjun, can you really ensure that the Mongols can't find that stronghold? I heard that once the Mongolian sentry cavalry dispersed, they spread out for one or two hundred miles, so Wherever they go, they will cover up and capture the residents and travelers in order to judge the reality of the place. Now that their army is moving south, the number of sentry riders is even greater, like a dragnet."
"Guaranteed?" Guo Ning looked at Yisha Chucai, shook his head and said, "When fighting on the battlefield, you can put your head on the line with a 30% certainty! How can there be any guarantee?"
"So……"
"So I have another preparation."
"Please tell me."
"Once the Mongols attack, I will personally lead my elite subordinates and fight in the five states, ponds and lakes. I will be a barking dog to attract the attention of the Mongols. As long as the Mongolian army's attention is Our army headquarters, which is concentrated in mobile operations, and the hidden stronghold in Dengxia Valley will be safe."
Yi La Chucai gasped.
"Guo Langjun, if you do this, you will put yourself and your soldiers in a dangerous situation... If you make the wrong move before the Mongolian army, you will be destroyed and die without a burial place!"
Guo Ning couldn't help but laugh again: "So what?"
He turned around and looked around, looking at the generals who had received the order to assemble urgently and rushed in from all over.
It turned out that while the two were talking to each other, all the generals had arrived. Chu Cai was so excited that he didn't notice.
Seeing Guo Ning smiling, the generals also laughed.
After they heard about the emergency military situation, it would be a lie to say that they were not panicked or frightened. Some of them even felt weak in their legs for a while.
But now they were climbing up the wall one after another, and seeing Guo Ning's calmness, he suddenly had a backbone, calmed down little by little, and regained his courage.
At this time, Yi La Chucai actually said such stupid things. Many people thought: After all, he is just a scholar!
At that moment, everyone said: "So what?"
Li Ting even patted the knife on his waist: "Tongjian, since we joined the army, we have watched our comrades die day by day, our relatives died, and our villagers died. We have long been used to it. , I have long understood that joining the army means nothing more than death! If you die, you will die! If you blink your eyes too much, you are not a good man from Northern Xinjiang!"
Guo Ning heard Li Ting bragging and laughed: "Li Erlang doesn't have to be like this... You know, I suddenly thought of something big just now. As long as you try your best to handle this big thing, not only will everyone not die, but they will also gain great benefits." the benefits of!"
What?
Won't die? Are there any benefits?
Everyone took a step forward instantly: "Lang Jun, what did you say?"
Guo Ning did not answer for now, but instead stared at Chu Cai: "Qing Jin, in this important matter, there are some things that need to trouble you. I wonder, would you like to come with us?"
For a moment, Yi La Chucai seemed to see Guo Ning again in Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu, running rampant in the firelight. The arrogant, bold and decisive look on his face was the same as that night... ...No, no, it was even more ferocious and terrifying than the evil tiger I saw that night!
"Guo Langjun, what are you going to do..." He was also a wise man. Halfway through his words, he suddenly understood. So he suddenly turned around and looked to the west of Pinglu Village.
Not far away, the guards and a large number of chariots, cattle and horses belonging to Zhang Wei, the transfer envoy of Hebei West Road, were still staying there. After waiting for several days, the sergeants in the camp were obviously slack.
