Jing Anmin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou had not come forward for a long time.
In fact, the blueprint contained in Guo Ning's words was too grand and beautiful. Jing Anmin had been thinking about it for half a day and was a little drowsy, so he didn't pay attention to it.
The powerful forces currently taking refuge in the pond, in addition to Guo Ning, are headed by Miao Daorun, Zhang Rou, and Jing Anmin. Miao Daorun was generous and powerful, Zhang Rou was smart and capable, and good at handling affairs. Jing'an Min was the leader of the defeated army and was familiar with military affairs. The three of them advanced and retreated hand in hand. Within the three states of Zhuo, Yi and Ding, they completely ignored the imperial court and acted as if they were independent regimes.
Previously, Guo Ning sent Du Shisheng to run around Tangbo, with the intention of persuading only these three people. Not only because he needs to rely on the strength of three people to fight against the Mongolian army, but also because of the big event that is coming, he will not be able to do it if he lacks vision and courage. Only these three people are powerful people with strength, vision and courage, who are worthy of joining hands with Guo Ning.
However, the people of Jing'an currently only control one state. Now that they are about to get involved in the game of the Jin Dynasty, it is inevitable that their thoughts will be confused and they will lose control for a moment.
He stood up in a hurry and frowned: "Brother Miao and Zhang Rou, has something happened? No! No! Liulang, we have to send someone to investigate quickly!"
Guo Ning was not impatient, and just asked: "I don't know, how did the three of you arrange your troops beforehand when you came to help?"
Jing'an Min replied casually: "I led the troops in the center to reinforce Ya'er Village; Brother Miao was on the left wing, threatening the upper reaches of Jige Spring; Zhang Rou had a fleet in his hands, so he pretended to outflank the lake on the right wing. Each of the three families Send thousands of troops..."
Guo Ning stared at Jing Anmin.
Somehow, Jing Anmin felt Guo Ning's gaze on his face, as if he could penetrate right into it.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Rokuro, is there something wrong?"
Guo Ning raised his voice and shouted: "Ni Yi!"
Ni Yi flashed in: "Here!"
"Tell Brother Anmin about the movements of soldiers and horses in the pond."
"As ordered." Ni Yi bowed and turned to Jing Anmin.
"General Jing, when our army was confronting the Mongolian army, three lines of reinforcements arrived, forcing the Mongolian army to retreat. However, brothers have carefully inspected the fleet on the right wing. They are purely suspects. The soldiers on the ships, or They are old and weak, or straw men with felt hats on their heads. The troops on the left wing are actually divided into two groups: the front and the rear. General Miao's force is in the front, and General Zhang's force is in the back. These two thousand people pass through the reeds. We took a shortcut and quickly reached the beach where the Mongolian army crossed the river, and fought with them."
Ma Bao immediately applauded, Hao Duan was stunned, and Du Shisheng continued to sneer.
"How is the victory or defeat?" Jing'anmin asked urgently.
Ni Yi bowed slightly: "I don't dare to lie. Miao and Zhang have already withdrawn their troops and are returning. When the time comes, General Jing will ask them directly."
Guo Ning waved his hand: "Go out."
As soon as Ni went out, Guo Ning seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "When it comes to understanding the terrain of Tangbo, the people in Northern Xinjiang are far inferior to the powerful locals. However, after all, this is the battlefield I chose, and I have paid great attention to the surrounding areas. I posted some scouts. Then I discovered that Miao and Zhang were so brave and good at fighting."
"This..." Jing Anmin was also a veteran in leading troops, and he suddenly felt ashamed.
He is the one who has watched Guo Ning's rapid rise. He is well aware of Guo Ning's power. At this time, he wants to participate in major events, and he admires Guo Ning's courage and means more and more.
But Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou were obviously not satisfied with serving as reinforcements summoned by Guo Ning. While providing reinforcements, they played a trick of making things up and down. Therefore, with multiple strength, they approached the Mongols who were retreating across the river, and attacked halfway across the river.
Obviously, even if the cooperation between the four is achieved, Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou do not want Guo Ning to dominate others with the advantage of force. It was nothing more than a fight with the Mongolian army. Guo Ning could do it, and so could Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou. When they came to His Highness King Sheng, everyone had their own opinions.
The problem is, if the suspected troops they arranged on the left wing are discovered by the Mongols in advance, the Mongols must think that Guo Ning's strength is limited, and Tu Lei will never retreat easily, and the two sides will continue to fight.
If the plan fails, Guo Ning's troops will bear the risks and casualties. If the plan comes true, Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou will fight a good battle to show their worth...
Guo Ning is a smart man and he sees it all.
Some things, over and over again, are not kind enough.
The people of Jing'an, like Guo Ning, are immigrants from Hebei. Both of them were born in defeated soldiers, and they knew better than others how ferocious and terrifying the enemy they faced was, so they were more particular about the friendship between brothers than these local tycoons.
"Ahem..." Jing Anmin felt extremely embarrassed.
He coughed twice and turned back to sit down. At the same time, he glanced at Hao Duan and motioned for Hao Duan to interrupt.
As a result, Hao Duan was pestered by Du Shisheng, and he didn't know what to talk about.
Guo Ning shook his head: "Brother Anmin, don't mind."
He yelled and killed countless times that day, and now he kept talking, and his lips were almost dry.
After taking a few sips from the water bottle, he continued: "Those of us who live in Tangbo Yuansou are all outsiders. We have long ceased to be loyal to the Jurchen court, and we do not pay attention to the rules of Confucian scholars. Let's just talk about practical benefits, simply and neatly. No matter what you do, as long as there are enough benefits, you can do it. If you find that there are difficulties or risks, then you can calculate it before doing it... Even if you calculate against each other, it is okay. But in the final analysis , since we are joining hands, it is for the common good. As long as we can get it in our hands in the end, it is good."
Guo Ning smiled and asked, "Brother Anmin, what do you think?"
Jing'an Min pondered for a long time and said slowly: "The situation is so dangerous. If you are trapped in one place for a long time, you will inevitably have a hard time. I don't dare to think too much about the great benefits, but this is always a new road. Liulang, although you and I know each other. Not long ago, but I have heard about your reputation for a long time and trust your character. If you say this new road is worth walking, then I will follow it."
Guo Ning looked at Jing Anmin, nodded and said, "There is only one thing."
"But please tell me."
"This is the path I thought of, and I should take it first. If Brother Anmin is willing to follow, then you have to follow my rules."
"What rules?"
Guo Ning thought for a moment.
Hao Duan and Ma Bao both cheered up. Du Shisheng rambled a few words, but they ignored them.
Jing Anmin also waited patiently.
After a while, Guo Ning sighed and said: "To be honest with Brother Anmin, I didn't think about it for a while. How about this, you and I will slowly discuss what the rules should be. Once we have discussed it, you and I will follow it together. How about it?" "
Jing Anmin laughed loudly: "Okay!"
"In that case, you and I have an agreement."
The two struck each other with palms raised.
At this time, Ni Yi transferred to the account to report again. It turned out that it was Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou who turned back with their troops.
Guo Ning and Jing Anmin went out together to welcome him, and then they realized why Ni Yi didn't talk about the outcome.
After all, the Mongolian army is extremely powerful. Although the newly-built subordinate Qianhu has suffered some losses, the elite of the headquarters are still there. Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou suddenly burst out of the reed swamps and took advantage at first. However, as the fierce battle lasted for a while, the Mongolians' bravery fully came into play, and Miao and Zhang's troops were immediately defeated.
The two armies hurriedly retreated to the depths of the swamp, and were fiercely pursued by the Mongolian army on the way. They lost troops and generals along the way, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses and many times more injured. They only relied on familiarity with the terrain to escape the enemy.
Among the dead was Miao Daorun’s nephew. This nephew, who was both civil and military, had always been highly valued by Miao Daorun. This time he died in battle, Miao Daorun's face became ugly.
He was about to say a few more words to Guo Ning when Zhang Rou, whose armor was scattered and somewhat embarrassed, lined up in front of Guo Ning.
Zhang Rou and Guo Ning met for the first time. But before Jing Anmin could introduce him, he bowed deeply and said, "Oh, Guo Langjun, the battle just now was unfavorable and our army lost its prestige! It's all me who makes the decision. I don't know the heights of the world and underestimated the Mongols! Ashamed! Ashamed!”
Zhang Rou is about the same age as Guo Ning, but her appearance is extremely handsome. When I saw him riding his horse in the army, his eyes were stern, but when he spoke now, he suddenly showed a childlike sincerity, which made people feel close to him and could not question his sincerity.
Guo Ning took a few steps forward, took Zhang Rou's arm, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. Guo is very kind to the two of you who can come to help... Let's go and see each other first. His Majesty the King."
