After Guo Ning and others led their troops to retreat to Xinqiao Camp in Anzhou, Yizai Chucai rushed to Zhongdu with his capable men. The journey was three hundred miles and the return journey was another three hundred miles. It seems that Yi La Chu Cai Zai Zhong knew some important news, so he rushed back as fast as possible. This was really hard work, even an iron man couldn't bear it!
Guo Ning raised his eyes quickly and saw that Yizai Chucai's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his usually neatly groomed beard was stained with mud and blood, making it look messy.
Looking at Yisha Chucai's robe, there were a few blood stains on it, and his posture when sitting on the horse was slightly stiff. Guo Ning was shocked. Without asking about the situation in Zhongdu, he took the arm of Chu Cai and asked, "Where is Jin Qing injured? Is it important?"
Yi La Chucai felt a little moved and bowed: "The Mongolian army continues to advance eastward and has captured Fanyang in Zhuozhou. It is now confronting Shuhu Gaoqi's troops. At this time, sentries and cavalry came out from all directions, covering the west of Zhongdu. There are many roads in the country. I hit a tidal wave on my way back and suffered some minor injuries, but it’s not in the way..."
At this point, he sighed: "It's a pity that several soldiers died in the battle."
Guo Ning nodded: "This trip is of great importance. If the soldiers who died in the battle have family members, they will be heavily compensated."
He also knew that moving Chu Cai to death was just a light word. This Khitan was a scholar, not a powerful general. Even if he had followers and good horses, if he ran into the Mongolian sentries, he would definitely escape death.
Guo Ning's background was always too low and he had no reputation outside the army, so he had few available staff around him. But there are other possibilities. Guo Ning will not send the Chu materials to Zhongdu at all.
However, what needs to be done must be done.
The Mongolian army invaded this time with a shocking momentum. Everyone could see that the Great Jin Kingdom was on the verge of collapse. However, after all, Dajin has been a country for a hundred years, and the power at its disposal is still huge. Guo Ning and others can grasp the key points amidst the chaos, and only then can they navigate the chaotic situation and gain benefits step by step.
For this reason, the contact with Tu Danyi in Zhongdu City was crucial. Only by going there in person could he understand the situation in Zhongdu and understand what Tu Danyi wanted to do and how to deal with it.
Du Shisheng asked anxiously from the side: "It's fine, Qing Jin, just fine. What do you say to Shan Youcheng?"
"Tu Dan Youcheng said, he will not do anything that breaks the rules unless it is absolutely necessary. But please rest assured, Mr. Guo Lang, and he will promote the king to the Central Capital as soon as possible."
After a pause, Chucai continued: "Since Zhuozhou has changed hands, the Mongolian armies on the west and north sides of the capital city are approaching step by step. The traffic on the two rivers of Lu River and Lugou River may not always be smooth. When the Mongolian armies are really approaching the city, , it’s too late to do anything you want to do. Lang Jun, hurry up!”
"It seems that Tu Shan Youcheng is indeed sure." Du Shisheng murmured: "But, since Guo Langjun is unwilling to make this sword that is criticized by thousands of people... Who will it be that Tu Dan Youcheng is planning? ?”
"I estimate that he is an old acquaintance of Guo Langjun."
Yili Chucai smiled bitterly and said: "Three days ago, that is, on August 17, Tu Shan Youcheng suggested to the emperor that he summon the generals to work together to deal with the crisis. This move was immediately fiercely opposed by Wanyan Zuocheng. And Wanyan Zuocheng immediately opposed it. The reason why Yan Zuocheng objected was not against Tu Dan Youcheng..."
Tu Danyi has long since lost strength in the army. Previously, Guo Ning set fire to the palace city of Zhongdu. In order to suppress this incident, Tu Danyi made a political deal with Wanyan Gang, shrinking all his forces in the Wuwei Army, Weijie Army and even the Zhongdu Police Patrol Court. Forwarded to Wan Yan Gang.
Therefore, when it comes to military affairs and important generals in the court, there is only one person Wanyan Gang will be wary of.
"It's Hu Shahu, right?"
Guo Ning tugged at his mustache and laughed: "Hu Shahu was originally Wanyan Gang's powerful tool to suppress Tu Dan Youcheng, but now he has become a deeply feared enemy. Tu Dan Youcheng's As soon as the memorial came out, Wanyan Gang would immediately use all his strength to suppress Hu Shahu to prevent any accidents. However, with Hu Shahu's unruly and arrogant temper, even the emperor did not pay attention to him, let alone Wanyan Gang? The day Wanyan Gang suppressed him, he It is Hu Shahu who is furious and will take revenge..."
Yi La Chucai then said: "Hu Shahu is the right deputy marshal and controls considerable power in the government. Once he does something, I'm afraid no one in the government can control it. Therefore, Prime Minister Tu Shan will need Guo Langjun's help even more. I will definitely not be stingy with the reward afterwards.”
"very good."
Guo Ning nodded slightly. He has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, killing people without calculation, and has a fierce and murderous spirit with him. But at this moment, although he was smiling happily, there was a bit of ferocious malice in his tone.
Chu Cai felt a chill in his heart.
The more familiar he is with Guo Ning, the more Yi La Chucai understands his talents and his boldness. After all, this guy is also an evil tiger. Is he more harmless than Hu Shahu? And can Prime Minister Tu Shan really control him?
A group of people were talking by the roadside, only two or three feet away from the queue of soldiers.
A sign leader was urging the soldiers to march along the road. He walked next to Guo Ning and others, took a breath and drank some water. Under the cover of the trees, he could not clearly see the serious expressions of Guo Ning and others. He only saw Guo Ning and his staff, pretending they were chatting.
The sign maker approached excitedly and asked, "Mr. Lang, in half an hour we will arrive at Xin'an. We have been traveling for several days, but we don't know where we are going?"
Many soldiers knew Guo Ning, and Guo Ning was also familiar with them. For example, this brand owner, Guo Ning remembered that his surname was Yu, and he was from Rouyuan County, north of Yehuling. He looked full of wrinkles and was about forty years old, but he was actually only in his early twenties. It was just that wind, frost, hard work, and repeated battles had brought them too much damage.
Just like most of the soldiers in the army at this time, this brand leader named Yu also has a sad and tearful story.
On that day, the Jin army's defense line collapsed at the north entrance of Yehuling. The Mongolian army took the soldiers and civilians from the border forts along the boundary trench as the vanguard and besieged Weihe Fort. This brand leader was one of the defenders of Huihe Fort, and his newlywed wife was one of the people who were driven to attack the city, and she died in front of him.
Now, the brand owner named Yu looked at Guo Ning happily.
Of course they know the news from the outside world. When the Mongols come, they will bring massacre again. The imperial court of Daijin was also in disgraceful condition and not worth the slightest expectation.
The world is like this, they don't care at all.
Their prematurely aged faces are marked by deep wrinkles, dust and dirt, and their eyes are cloudy. Only Guo Ning brought them a little light, making them believe that even in these dark years, the future was worth looking forward to and asking about.
After so many years of fighting and fighting, Guo Ning has encountered countless dangers, and countless relatives and comrades have died, and his heart has been tempered to a stone.
He waved his hand to the sign head calmly: "Stop talking nonsense! Is this what you should ask? There will be a military order... We are going to a place where we can kill people happily!"
The brand owner laughed twice: "Okay!"
For him, this answer was enough.
Guo Ning knew that the pain of countless people abandoning their homes and careers and leaving their families behind originated from the tragic defeat at Yehuling. The key to that tragic defeat was that Hu Shahu, as the commander of the army, abandoned the others and fled first.
In the eyes of Guo Ning and the soldiers, the characters who rise and fall in the court are no different than pigs and dogs. No one cares at all about who goes up and who goes down. But if Hu Shahu could actually take this opportunity to do something, Guo Ning was particularly willing to get involved.
Last time we were outside Fanyang City in Zhuozhou, we just wanted to say hello. But this time, in Zhongdu City, Guo Ning and the soldiers were very willing to seek justice from Hu Shahu for the wronged souls of countless soldiers in northern Xinjiang.
"Inform Miao Daorun, Zhang Rou and Jing Anmin of this news, and tell them who among them is willing to accompany me, who is willing to keep an eye on King Sheng, and who is willing to watch over the rear team, and make a decision within a moment. Two moments later, I will rectify the cavalry and march day and night... We are going to kill people."
