Yiza Chucai was writing down a document and was going to the end. After hearing Guo Ning's words, the expression on his face did not change. His hand shook and a drop of ink fell on the document.
When Guo Ning's troops first arrived in Shandong, everything was in a state of flux. The navy was responsible for the military and political affairs of the three states, and the framework was very large. Even with the help of the men accumulated from the Xijunhe camp and the people of Jing'an in Zhuozhou, , many processes and affairs still need to be continuously adjusted while advancing.
This made it possible that when Yi La Chucai was reviewing documents, the comments he wrote on the side were often longer than the main text. And because, in order to prevent officials with different levels of skills from misunderstanding or making mistakes, every word he wrote was strict, firm, and steady, and the words were arranged as neatly as a military formation.
Although Guo Ning is not proficient in calligraphy, he still thinks it is very good, as if it has a tough and upright connotation.
However, it is not hypocritical to assassinate Chu Cai. When the ink fell, he paused for a moment, turned his pen, and turned it into a sentence.
He closed the document, stood up and asked, "Mr. Lang also wants to be called a distinguished guest. I think he has an extraordinary status, but I don't know what kind of person he is?"
"The former Minister of Rites, Aotun Zhongxiao."
"This..." Yi La Chucai was a little surprised: "Didn't this gentleman belong to Hu Shahu and was arrested by Lang Jun when he was under Donghua's sect? Why did he come here? What is his current position?"
Guo Ning chuckled twice: "I heard that this person left the capital a few days ago to take up a post. He just arrived in Yidu not long ago. Now he is the inspector and transfer envoy of Shandong East Road."
In the current situation, a short-term inspection envoy or transfer envoy is nothing. That day, Zhang Wei, the transshipment envoy of Hebei West Road, was blocked by Guo Ning's troops in Pinglu stronghold following King Sheng. Later, the war was in chaos, and it was not known whether this king was dead or alive.
Yi La Chucai's expression changed: "Then, this person comes from Yidu?"
"Exactly, some of them crossed the Jiao River east of Changyi and bumped into our sentries, so we brought them back."
"Interesting... Lang Jun's jurisdiction is in Laizhou. Laizhou is not moving now, but Yidu Prefecture is very attentive."
"Let's go see who he represents and what he will say."
"As commanded."
It turned out that Hu Shahu raided Zhongdu that day, and his troops searched everywhere in the city. They arrested many officials overnight and ordered them to cooperate with us. Anyone who was unwilling to cooperate or showed hostile intentions was killed on the spot. There was a group of smart people left who expressed their willingness to cooperate with Hu Shahu, led by Aotun Zhongxiao, who was the prince's young master and the minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Unexpectedly, not long after Aotun Zhongxiao surrendered his loyalty to Hu Shahu, Guo Ning came in from outside the city, defeated the rebels in one fell swoop, and killed Hu Shahu. When the two armies were fighting in front of Donghua Gate, Aotun Zhongxiao was watching.
After Guo Ning took control of the situation, he arrested all the civil servants huddled in the corner, including Otun Zhongxiao, and handed them over to Yousi when he withdrew his troops out of the city the next day.
At that time, both Guo Ning and Yili Chucai thought that officials like this would suffer, but they never thought that they would encounter this person when they arrived in Shandong? The then-promoted king, now the Jin Emperor, showed ruthless methods of cleaning up the clan before he ascended the throne, but after he ascended the throne, he was quite polite and generous in excluding dissidents.
The two of them moved into the handsome tent one after the other.
Guo Ning said his request, and in a moment, Aotun Zhongxiao walked in from outside the tent.
This gentleman is over sixty years old and has a clear and serious appearance. When he was in the capital, he was a noble official. Even if he was demoted, his official rank was still higher than Guo Ning's.
Now Guo Ning is sitting calmly, and summoning Aotun Zhongxiao to see him is very unruly and rude, but Aotun Zhongxiao is not angry at all, and his behavior is quite magnanimous.
After seeing each other, Guo Ning got straight to the point: "The inspector came from Yidu. What do you want to teach me?"
"What kind of advice do you have for a guilty person? I came here just to bring a message to someone else... Only when I came here did I show Yidu's sincerity." Aotun Zhongxiao took out a copy from his sleeve. The document was handed to Guo Ning calmly: "Jiedu Envoy, please take a look."
Guo Ning took it with a smile and said with a smile: "But I don't know, what kind of sincerity is it?"
Having said this, he opened the paperwork and took a look.
It turned out to be a document issued by Wanyan Salara, the commander-in-chief of the Shandong East Road Army, the Yin of Yidu Prefecture, and the general manager of the military and horse capital.
The general content of the document is that the main force of the Mongolian army in the middle is now gathered in Weizhou, Junzhou, and Huazhou, and will either cross the river or move eastward. The Kaifeng Prefecture in Nanjing has been under martial law, and the Shandong East and West Army Command Departments have also gathered the entire army to prepare for the attack. All towns, defense states, and governor states must make every effort to recruit grain, supplies, soldiers and horses, and send them to Yidu in preparation for the war.
Guo Ning turned the document to the next page.
The Commander-in-Chief of Tongjun has a big appetite. It requires six thousand elite soldiers, thousands of war horses, thousands of sets of armor, swords, guns, bows and crossbows and other equipment, tens of thousands of arrows, and as many strings of money as possible. The last part, which seems to be newly added, has a slightly different font and says that it requires half a year's worth of grain.
The list was very long. Guo Ning looked over it twice and laughed loudly: "Wanyan Commander-in-Chief is indeed a veteran and famous minister who has been in Shandong for a long time. He seems to be very familiar with Laizhou's family background, right?"
He handed the document to Yilan Chucai and turned to Aotun Zhongxiao: "Serving the country with loyalty is what a minister should do. In this way, after I go to Laizhou and take office, I will inventory the treasury, military camp, and sure enough, the place If your savings can be used, then all of them will be transferred to Yidu, how about that?"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"how to say?"
"Before Wanyan Tongjun went to Yidu, he was the military governor of Dinghai. Laizhou's treasury and military camps had long been emptied to prepare for fighting powerful enemies. This list does not refer to Laizhou's savings, but to Laizhou's savings. I estimated Guo Jiedu's gains in Zhongdu and scribbled it down. Halfway through, I found that there were many omissions. Fortunately, Wanyan Tongjun envoy had already authorized it, so I added a few words temporarily and asked Guo Jiedu not to leave them. Sorry."
Guo Ning's face twitched.
This old man doesn't know how to live or die, he is mocking me to my face for cleaning the warehouse in Zhongdu! As for the omission... did you think I had enough food when you heard me blowing the cowhide halfway through?
He covered it up by stroking his beard and asked with a sneer: "There is nothing missing, but these materials have been given to Yidu. How can I, the military envoy of the Dinghai Navy, go to Laizhou to take up my post?"
Aotun Zhongxiao smiled and said: "The military order is like a mountain. The soldiers, horses and supplies under Guo Jiedu must be sent to Yidu. Of course, Wanyan Salatong's military envoys have also admired Guo Jiedu's prowess when fighting in Zhongdu. , it would be better if Guo Jiedu was willing to personally lead his army to Yidu and assist Wanyan’s military commander in resisting the Mongolian army.”
"Whether it's good or bad, I have to think about it carefully. There is a problem in planning for Wanyan to command the army."
"Jiedushi just says it."
"Wanyan's military envoy gathered all the soldiers and horses in Shandong at Yidu. To the east and south of Yidu, the states of Deng, Lai, Mi, Ju, Yi, and Hai were all empty. I heard that Ju, Yi and other places were empty. Nowadays, the traitor Yang An'er is entrenched, and there are many wealthy local thieves from all over Shandong who are connected with him. What should be done if they take the opportunity to make a big move? Guo has a duty to defend his territory, so he will naturally try his best to deal with him. But the entire northeast of Shandong Facing Mongolia, if there are rebels making trouble in the south, the place will inevitably be corrupted. Wanyan led the army to occupy Yidu Mansion, just to protect themselves... How can I explain this to the court? "
