Guo Ning rode his horse back to the military fort. Before he could get off his horse, he saw Yang Chengzhi holding a stack of files on the walkway on the second floor and hurried towards the main hall where Guo Ning lived. In the next room, people were moving and stabbing Chu materials as usual. The same writing and writing.
The reason why he could see clearly was because the front door and windows of his house were wide open, and a row of officials were waiting at the door. After getting the warrant to assassinate Chu Cai, they immediately rushed out to handle it.
Guo Ning raised his head and looked at it for a long time. He sighed and said to the guards beside him: "I have been busy all morning and my face is sore from smiling. I wanted to go back to the central army to rest...Looking at this situation, I will have to face mountains of documents when I go back. It’s really a headache.”
Ni Yi responded: "Jie Shuai, don't forget, after reading the paperwork, there will be another two games in the afternoon."
Guo Ning couldn't help but curse.
The habits of a soldier made Guo Ning particularly agile in making decisions. Once you make up your mind, you must do it immediately. There is no need to gather many people to discuss it over and over again, but you must act vigorously and resolutely.
Just like today, the new troops of each unit are traveling, two units set off in the morning, and two units follow in the afternoon. However, matters such as the food and fodder, baggage, weapons, routes, and deployment of troops and horses for the two troops have not been finalized until now. As a judge, Yili Chucai was certainly the busiest, but there were also many documents that needed to be personally signed and approved by Ding Haijiedu.
Guo Ning doesn't like the paperwork work very much, but he also knows that an army or even a military and political group is absolutely indispensable for the control of the center, and many keys to success or failure lie in the center.
He thought for a while and pointed to Ado: "There is a wooden screen in my living courtyard, which you have seen. Move it out quickly and place it outside Mr. Jin Qing's door to block the sea breeze and avoid catching a cold."
Ado went immediately.
Guo Ning thought of another thing: "Where is Li Quan's envoy? Wasn't it received by Jin Qing?"
"When Commander-in-Chief was inspecting the drills of Xiao Mo Le's troops, Mr. Jin Qing sent him away."
Guo Ning nodded. He turned around and looked outside the military fort.
Outside the military fort, Xiao Moule's troops were marching along the road. From a distance, they looked like a long snake. Guo Ning reached out and patted the iron bone flower next to the saddle, and said slowly and thoughtfully: "Li Quan seems to be humble, but in fact the city is very deep... However, I have already told Xiao Mo Le how to deal with it."
Just in the past two days, Ding Haijun established four new command divisions, with 17 generals under their jurisdiction, and a total of more than 4,000 troops. Once these four jurisdictions were established, they were immediately dispatched. Their task was to cooperate with Yan Ning, Zhang Rong, Yan Shi, Dong Jin and others to enter the four prefectures of Weizhou, Yidu, Zizhou, and Jinan, but they did not occupy any territory along the way. The land does not involve the local area, but only ensures the safety of the people from all over Shandong who are fleeing to Laizhou.
In the past few years, the imperial court's focus of military deployment has continued to shift northward, and the east and west roads of Shandong have been undercurrents. Wanyan Salara, the commander of the army, occupied several military fortresses and big cities, pretending not to see the power of Yang An'er and Liu Erzu, and pretending that nothing happened, but in fact, they had been hollowed out by various local forces. .
When the Mongols came, Wanyan Salara did not dare to fight. He even lost the most prosperous Jinan Mansion, and even the reputation of the imperial court was trampled into the quagmire. Many forces that did not dare to move in the past have taken advantage of the opportunity to rise.
For example, Yan Ning and others were knowledgeable and discerning. They valued the bravery and proficiency of Zhong Ding Haijun. They also saw that Guo Ning had many talented people under his command, so they came to join him.
But there are more forces, either short-sighted toubob villains, or heroes who have long had the idea of rebellion, or even the Jurchens who have reunited to fiercely attack the defense forces. They are motivated by various factors. , made their own choices one after another, and the forces worthy of loyalty or closeness in their eyes were different from those of Yan Ning and others.
Therefore, if Yan Ning wants to recruit people, the journey will naturally not be smooth sailing. There will inevitably be some small-scale military conflicts or other difficulties. These were just used for military training. Guo Ning let go and delegated power to the newly appointed commanders. He also took the opportunity to see if the officers he promoted could be used.
Within the scope of these two states and two governments, there are still several companies that have long been powerful enough to support one side's situation. For example, Guo Ning's close neighbor Li Quan, a wealthy man from Changyi County in northern Weizhou, is one of the best.
Since last year, Li Quan has actually controlled the entire Weizhou. Taking advantage of Wanyan Salara's closed door while Guo Ning fought fiercely with the Mongols, Li Quan raided Duji Shixian, the governor of Weizhou, killed him, and then sent an envoy named Zheng Yande with Duji Shixian. Ji Shixian's head and specious confession were sent to Laizhou.
Li Quan returned a handwritten letter, saying very humbly that Duji Shixian had colluded with the Mongols and allowed Tuo Lei's troops to go deep into Shandong, so Li Quan was indignant and killed him.
This statement may not make Guo Ning and others think they are fools.
Previously, the Mongolian cavalry went straight from Weizhou to Laizhou, a journey of hundreds of miles, as if they were entering uninhabited territory, without any warning. How can Duji Shixian do this? Even if he could do it, what would he gain?
Many things gradually became clear as the battle was reviewed, and even if there was no clear evidence, some people began to doubt it. But Li Quanlai still wanted to take off the suspicion with ease?
The generals who were qualified to see this letter were all very angry. Someone even came out on the spot and asked for troops to attack Changyi and pull out this nail that was close at hand but had sneaky intentions.
But he was still angry, and in the end the army was not dispatched.
In fact, everyone also understood that Li Quan sent people here not to explain anything, but just to express his goodwill of bending the knee to the strong. At the same time, Li Quan's troops were on high alert throughout Weizhou, demonstrating their attitude of never being controlled by others.
He is an interesting character, but he also has some means of surviving in troubled times.
Guo Ning does not intend to accept Li Quan's kindness. The matter of colluding with the Mongolian army, and even borrowing roads, must eventually have an explanation. But right now, it's not the time to go to war.
First of all, as soon as the fierce battle ended, Ding Haijun had to firmly grasp the benefits of the victory. When he was full and had enough strength, it would not be too late to discuss the next move. Secondly, although Li Quan was beside the bed, his power was limited after all; in a way, he happened to become a firewall between Guo Ning and Wanyan Sala.
Therefore, since Li Quan dared to say this, Guo Ning dared to believe it.
However, he did not accept Duji Shixian's head and confession. He also asked Yili Chucai to reprimand the envoy in a particularly righteous manner and asked Li Quan to respect the court's laws and not fail to treat Shandong's military envoy and Yidu. Wanyan Salara, the imperial official who was in charge of the military and horse capital, the military envoy of Zhenhai, and was also in charge of Weizhou's military and political affairs, took it seriously.
At the same time that Li Quan's envoy leaves, Xiao Mo Le's army will be stationed in Weizhou to clear the way for the people who long for stability.
Of course, Guo Ning's subordinates will also appear in Yidu Mansion where Wanyan Salara is located.
Guo Ning will not take the opportunity to occupy the land, he just wants to attract some people. Unlike the big shots with their own scheming, ordinary people have much simpler ideas. They want a stable job, and there is no job in Shandong that is more stable than Laizhou.
Guo Ning is very confident that as long as he gets a year and a half of peace, Laizhou will become completely new. And based on Laizhou, which has a prosperous population, developed agriculture, and elite troops, Guo Ning will be able to do more.
With this in mind, Guo Ning slowly walked forward along the trail. When he was about to reach the door of the Chucai room, Aduo had already brought someone to carry the wooden screen. But this boy was straightforward and not very sensible. He placed the screen too close to the door, which not only affected the staff's interactions but also blocked the light in the room.
Guo Ning shook his head repeatedly, rolled up his sleeves, moved the screen, and placed it on the handrail at the outer edge of the walk.
Yizai Chucai was busy writing as fast as he could, without raising his head. He had no idea that Guo Ning was carrying it in front of him. An official wanted to remind him, but Guo Ning made a gesture of silence and went to the back of the trail.
