Pusan ​​Anzhen was really shocked.

In his own army, the Hebei Xuanfu envoy often treated the soldiers affectionately, and it was normal for him to ask questions and ask questions; he was also polite and gentle to his civil and military colleagues. But he is the kind of powerful person who truly lives with his country. His arrogance cannot be hidden in his bones, and his behavior always carries an attitude that is taken for granted.

Perhaps in his opinion, it was easy for three generations of his family to carve up the interests of the Kingdom of Jin in Zhongdu, let alone lead troops out to confront the local bandits?

Pusan ​​Anzhen had seen Guo Ning's military prowess in Zhongdu, and later heard about Guo Ning's achievements in Shandong and Liaodong.

However, due to the disdain for the local government by senior officials of the imperial court, Pusan ​​Anzhen, like many Jurchen nobles, regarded Guo Ning as an evil tiger. He believed that Guo Ning had achieved this level by relying on his own bravery, and that he was just a warrior who could defeat a hundred people. Just a common man.

In the past few years, the Great Jin Kingdom has been constantly fighting with the Southern Bandits, Western Bandits, and Black Tartars. On all battlefields, in which year and month did such figures not appear? This kind of person started his career in Fengdi, then relies wholeheartedly on his own bravery, and will soon perish in Fengdi. Pusan ​​Anzhen has seen a lot.

The famous Li Tiejian is such a character. Is Pusan ​​Anzhen afraid of him at all? In Pusan ​​Anzhen's eyes, Li Tiejian was just an unruly dog.

Even if Guo Ning is overestimated ten times, so what if he is capable of defeating a thousand people?

On the battlefield where everyone is rushing, the role this guy can play has its limits. At a certain point, the number of lives is exhausted, and one stray arrow can take his life. And the huge power it gathered naturally disappeared.

With this idea in mind, Pusan ​​Anzhen will be willing to talk to Guo Ning.

He felt that since Guo Ning was a brave man, he must be bold and treacherous, and would never refuse this proposal that could maximize his own strength.

And once this brave man is separated from his own army, the army will lose its soul and courage. Then, during the negotiation with Guo Ning, there is no need to worry about how much Ding Haijun can do. This gave Pusan ​​Anzhen time to adjust his subordinates and make subsequent responses.

But how to use means in negotiation situations is actually easier. After all, Pusan ​​Anzhen is from a wealthy family in Zhongdu, and she has been familiar with the routine of turning her hands into clouds and rain since she was a child.

In this regard, Guo Ning will never have the upper hand. And Pusan ​​Anzhen just wanted to find a solution for the loss of his subordinates.

Heshi Lieya Wuta and thousands of soldiers could not die in vain, so they had to use various means to repay the blood and flesh from Guo Ning's hands. At least, let this guy feel the pain!

But these thoughts are completely gone now.

When he saw that Ding Haijun broke through the camp of tens of thousands of people with just one wave of attacks and forced Li Quan to commit suicide, he immediately understood that he was afraid that he had too much ambition and too little talent.

In the current battle, even if Pusan ​​Anzhen worked hard in Hebei for ten years, he didn't think he could do it, at least not win such a clean victory.

In Pusan ​​Anzhen's opinion, among the generals of the Great Jin Kingdom, there was no one with a higher level than him. Wanyan Heda on the other side of Nanjing Road would not be the same here. Gao Qi, the most powerful martial artist in Zhongdu City, can only flatter the emperor now, and neither can he.

As for the other generals with troops... Pusan ​​Anzhen instantly concluded that none of them could do it.

The main force of the navy was ordered to conduct a long-distance concealed march within two or three days without Guo Ning's presence. Then tens of thousands of people, including cavalry, lurked quietly on the edge of the battlefield for a long time. Until Guo Ning gave the signal, they suddenly rose up and broke into the enemy's position neatly.

At this moment, the entire Anding Town camp had been smashed to pieces by them, but Pu San Anzhen could see clearly that the command of Ding Haijun was not chaotic at all, and the advance and retreat of various ministries were still orderly. No one could be seen taking the opportunity to snatch the head. , those who plunder property.

This shows what?

Pusan ​​Anzhen is a disciple of the general, he has good vision and he is knowledgeable.

This shows that the many victories Guo Ning won in the past came from such an outstanding army.

To create such an army requires long-term hard work, continuous training in war, a large amount of ordnance and material support, excellent treatment to maintain the morale of the army, efficient teaching to establish an excellent officer system, and strict discipline. , Repeated indoctrination can ensure that the army's advance and retreat, offense and defense are all in accordance with the rules.

Is this something a brave man can do?

Even Pusan ​​Anzhen himself, who had tried his best in both military and political affairs since leaving Hebei, could not achieve this level. It might be possible in another ten years, but right now, he will never be able to come up with such an army!

When witnessing the collapse of Li Quan's army, Pusan ​​Anzhen even thought of the founding of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Khitan people had a legend that "the Jurchens are invincible if there are not even ten thousand Jurchens". This is not only due to the unprecedented martial prowess of Emperor Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, but also due to the convergence of various conditions that resulted in the Jurchens' strong military strength and bravery.

So, Guo Ning rose up in Tangluo, Hebei Province last year, and then single-handedly created all the conditions for the Dinghai Navy and built such a strong army... How did this person do it?

This man is by no means a brave man, but a rare hero!

That's all, that's all.

This time the proceeds from leading troops south to Shandong are almost enough! The Red Coat Army is certainly fat, so why would my servant San Anzhen have to become a sworn enemy with Guo Ning just to get one more bite? If there was any unpleasantness between the two families, wouldn't it mean that the Mongolian army and the political opponents in Zhongdu were benefited?

Pusan ​​Anzhen reacted very quickly, overturning all her previous expectations in an instant, leaving only the most basic goals. At this time, the Bozhou, Dezhou, Dizhou and half of Jinan he claimed belonged to the east and west routes of Shandong administratively, but they were all geographically located north of the Beiqing River.

As if the two families jointly sent troops to annihilate Li Quan's red coat army, it just so happened that the two families divided their spheres of influence with the natural boundary of Qinghe River in the north. It makes sense based on circumstances and theory.

Pusan ​​Anzhen deliberately put on a relaxed posture, stood next to Guo Ning, and said: "A few days ago, I exchanged letters with Prime Minister Xu. I once talked about Guo Xuanshi, thinking that if I could defeat the Red Coat Army with one step, The imperial court will definitely give you many rewards. When the time comes, our two families will be closely intertwined, and we will have the opportunity to help each other... If Ambassador Guo Xuan can find me of any use, please just open your mouth, hahaha, hahaha!"

The chatter between Jurchen nobles was generally rougher than that of Han Confucian scholars, and Pusan ​​Anzhen was no exception.

What he meant by this was:

First, Guo Ning, your political ally Xu Ding, is also very familiar with me. We are not unrelated;

Secondly, it was you, Guo, who defeated the Red Coat Army. You, Guo, are so powerful. In the future, when the court reports your merits, I promise not to rob you, let alone stumbling upon you;

Thirdly, after all, Shandong and Hebei are close to each other, and our two families are neighbors. Since I have shown goodwill, you should be smarter. Many friends are better than many enemies.

When these words came out, Guo Ning did not answer. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he sneered twice, and then continued to stare at the battlefield ahead.

Pusan ​​Anzhen's words suddenly made Guo Ning very disgusted.

Guo Ning won the battle today. Looking at this posture, the number of kills must be more than a thousand, or even close to two thousand. This is indeed a great victory. In the past few days, Guo Ning also had good results in Weizhou, Zizhou, Yidu Prefecture and other places.

At the same time, Li Ting's troops moved quickly in Mizhou, Juzhou, and Yizhou, defeating the resistance of the red coat army one after another, and also killing people.

In just ten months, the Red Coat Army killed many people under the fierce attack of Ding Haijun, many of whom were heroes.

From Guo Ning's perspective, this is not only for the expansion of his own interests, but also the only way to unify the local Han'er in Shandong. After these victories, Guo Ning's strength will continue to expand, and he will have stronger confidence to face truly powerful enemies.

However, if it weren't for someone's constant schemes and tactics, Guo Ning would have had a better way to control the Red Coat Army. He didn't have to do it so violently, and he didn't have to die so many people.

The driving force behind this is naturally Pusan ​​Anzhen. He did this in the hope that both the navy and the red coat army would suffer losses.

What kind of good thing is this guy? His plan failed, but he expected to take over three states and one government with just one word?

What are you dreaming about?

Just as Guo Ning was about to speak, Zhao Jue came over to report: "Commander Jie, in the direction of the Anding camp, raise a flag and ask us what our next move should be."

The navy's attack was both for victory on the battlefield and for victory in negotiations. Now that the battle is coming to an end, whether to stay in place and control the Anding Town camp, withdraw troops, or make other arrangements depends on Guo Ning on the Tieling platform. This was decided long ago.

Guo Ning pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Continue."

Continue with what? Zhao Jue was stunned for a moment, then immediately quickened his pace and ran to the guard holding the flag to give instructions.

The two guards each held a five-color command flag one foot three feet high and waved it repeatedly.

On the banks of the Beiqing River, a specially sent messenger knight looked at the top of Tieling. When he saw the flag message, he immediately waved the military flag and passed it on to the next ring.

The distance between the two sides was four or five miles, and the semaphore was transmitted very quickly. In an instant, the flag fell in Wang Shixian's eyes.

Wang Shixian rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dazzled. He asked: "Lao Guo, take a look, what is this?"

Guo Zhongyuan stared at it twice and said solemnly: "Commander Jie has orders, continue the attack."
