Ni Yizong rode into the city, thinking that Guo Ning would gather for discussion soon.
However, Li Ting was stationed at the city wall and had a heavy responsibility. Guo Ning had long said that even if the sky fell, he would ask Li Erlang to stay at the top of the city. So Li Ting was in no hurry to turn back.
As for Li Yun, now he is a subordinate of Qunmu Subordinate and is responsible for doing business and making money, not an officer, so there is no need to go back to the military conference. But he was still concerned about the situation and asked repeatedly: "Brother, what is not a trivial matter? What will happen now? Is there anything else to come?"
After asking again and again, Li Yun had a puzzled look on his face: "I thought that our commander-in-chief could not trust Pu Xianwannu, so we wanted to capture Xianping Mansion and push He Shi Liehuan to the position of Liaodong Xuanfu Envoy. And He Shi Liehuan's As the power moved northward, the two states of Fuzhou and Gaizhou were vacated. Fuzhou and Gaizhou are surrounded by mountains and seas, controlling the islands. They also have fertile land and are profitable for fishing and salt. We can slowly operate here and obtain horses and furs. If you wait for important supplies to be sold exclusively for profit, you can also run them as the rear of Laizhou... Brother, we have already made a lot of money on this trip, isn't that enough?"
Having said this, Li Yun stood up and took two steps: "When I came to Liaodong, the commander-in-chief said that he only wanted horse trade. Now that he has joined forces with Heshi Liehuanduan to control the sacred land of southern Liaoning, it is an unexpected surprise. But if there are going to be continuous wars over this land, wouldn’t that be...brother, wouldn’t that be in conflict with the great policy of taking Shandong as our foundation?”
"Hey!" Li Ting touched his head and his eyes rarely wandered.
He is two years older than Li Yun and has much better skills. Since he was signed into the army, he has always treated Li Yun as a child and someone to be taken care of. Even if Li Yun later took charge of Zhigu Village, he didn't care because he was not in front of Li Ting.
Unexpectedly, Li Yun grew up very fast. Now he heard some scattered news and deduced some truth.
Li Ting also has some truth, but most of it is on the sword and not much in his mind. After listening to Li Yun's narration, he wanted to respond with a few words, but for a moment he was at a loss for words.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
But he didn't want to be underestimated by his younger brother, so he raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, hahaha..."
"Brother, why are you laughing? Could it be that Jieshuai doesn't mean this?" Li Yun said anxiously: "If Jieshuai got involved in many troubles in the future just to rescue us, then I will never redeem myself!"
"Guo Liulang treats us as his own family. He is serious about sending troops to rescue, but..."
Li Ting made a gesture of contemplation and frantically recalled what Guo Ning had said during the military discussion with him. After a while, he finally organized his words smoothly: "Ayun, what do you think of Pu Xianwannu?"
"Ruthless and ambitious, he can be regarded as a hero who takes advantage of the situation, and..."
Li Yun hesitated for a moment: "I have personally seen him suddenly use his sword to kill Pu Xianlielin, the adopted son of the Afu Mongolian army in Xianping Prefecture, and his subordinates. His attack was extremely decisive. He also said personally that I was an ally of the Mongols, but I was not. The Mongols’ dogs are taking advantage of the Mongols’ northward march to Taizhou to expand their own power.”
He leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "Brother, think about it, if he can say such a thing, how can he be a loyal ally of the Mongols? This person has an unruly character and only seeks to be independent. In fact...actually, cough cough , and my Jie Shuai, there is really some possibility of cooperation with each other!"
A Mongolian army unit was once stationed in Xianping Prefecture. Li Yun had already reported this news to Guo Ning. Last night, Heshi Liehuanduan specially sent many people to publicize it everywhere, confirming the identity of Pu Xianwannu rebels.
But Li Yun is a member of the inner circle of Ding Haijun, so he naturally knows that his commander-in-chief is not a loyal minister. From a certain perspective, he can even be said to be in Pu Xianwannu's path.
Pu Xianwannu himself had a judgment about this, so he once told Li Yun that after he unified Liaodong, he could travel between Liaodong and Shandong. There was a vague meaning of helping each other in those words.
In Li Yun's view, Ding Haijun effortlessly gained an ally across the sea, which was a good result.
Precisely because he had received Pu Xianwannu's promise, Li Yun did not think that it was necessary for him to be too involved in Liaodong. These are the only things you can get, and you can get them easily, so why waste a lot of effort and waste a lot of money?
Previously, when the navy was ordered to break into the city, Li Yun responded violently without hesitation, but when the war came to an end, this doubt emerged in his heart.
Now seeing Ni Yifei reporting the urgent military situation, he was worried that the price he would have to pay was getting higher and higher, and he finally couldn't help but reveal everything in front of his brother.
"Ayun, I have thought about what you are thinking about. The conclusion is that this person is useless and cannot do it."
"useless?"
"This Pu Xian Wan Nu, who fought against the Mongols and the Khitan before, suffered repeated defeats and lost hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. He was a completely incompetent general. Damn, he was also responsible for Yehuling's failure at that time. ,Do you remember?"
Li Ting sneered twice: "To achieve his great success, he relies entirely on underhanded tactics and the remaining power of the Jin Dynasty in Liaodong. But, Ayun, times have changed, and the real troubled times are coming. When the world is in chaos, no one takes Dai Jin seriously anymore, so what use are his little tricks?"
At this point, Li Ting's sneer turned into a ferocious smile: "Those who rely on the remaining power of the Jin Dynasty to poach the Jin Dynasty just think they are heroes. For example, Yuan Shu and Liu Yan in the late Han Dynasty, and those in the late Sui Dynasty Wang Shichong and Yu Wenhuaji, even if all their agencies are exhausted, in the eyes of a truly powerful person who can rise in troubled times, they are just a piece of fat, and they will inevitably end up being eaten sooner or later."
Li Yun pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "So what Jieshuai means is to swallow him completely? That may not be easy!"
Li Ting opened his mouth but said nothing. He forgot what Guo Ning said after that and quickly continued to recall, but he heard the heavy footsteps of military boots on the horse road to the city beside him.
Amidst the sound of footsteps, Guo Ning raised his voice and said: "The more these people think they have a plan, and the more flaws they have, they will inevitably be devoured. When I raised my troops, I had already concluded that the time to attack this piece of fat was coming. . However, we have this idea, and other thoughtful people probably have the same idea. Since everyone is holding their bowls and preparing to eat on the table, we should all make some preparations early... at least, try our best. We want to prevent some outsiders from rushing to the table and messing up the scene, right?"
Having said this, Guo Ning strode forward and stood high on the pier on the city wall.
"It came so quickly!" he exclaimed.
Zhao Jue, Zhang Qian, He Shilie Huanduan and others followed and looked far to the west.
The terrain to the west of Xianping Prefecture is relatively low. The Liaohe River and Qinghe River converge here, and over thousands of years, a continuous plain has been created. As early as the Tianhui period, this place was an important agricultural land that Dajin was actively operating. An envoy from the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty came here and said with emotion: The land in the state is flat, the residents have formed settlements, and new crops are everywhere. The land is suitable for millet and millet, and it is extremely fertile. in the south.
It is a pity that it was abandoned for decades and most of the cultivated land has now become meadow. It's late summer now, and the continuous meadows are covered with weeds, with dark green, thick black and withered yellow interlaced, as if they are boundless.
At the end of the grassy field, an army numbering in the tens of thousands was marching hand in hand along dozens of trampled roads.
In the surging queue, hundreds of five-color flags fluttered in the wind, as if the fleet was sailing through the waves on the green ocean. The scene was spectacular.
Of all the flags, one is the tallest. The pattern is very unique, showing the sun rising above and the moon setting below.
Heshi Liehuanduan had long been familiar with this flag, which represented the Jurchens' mortal enemies. At that moment, he said in a deep voice: "This is the Khitan people's Tianzi flag. Brother Yeluliu is here."
Guo Ning clapped his hands and said with a relaxed smile: "This is the first diner."
