Yili Chucai can naturally say what he wants to say, but Pusan Anzhen has already made up his mind. He will never go north again, let alone Zhongdu.
Even though the Mongolian army is in the direction of Zhigu Village at this time, and the Ding navy is fighting in a chaotic mess, those Mongolian knights are all good at horseback, and they often drive hundreds of miles day and night. Who knows that they will not suddenly arrive, and then Kill him under the city of Zhongdu and bleed like a river of blood?
Pusan Anzhen worked hard in Hebei for more than half a year, eliminating many obstacles, subduing and even killing many people who were holding back. Only then did he reorganize the Thirteen Meng'an on the east and west roads of Hebei and build the Jurchen-based army in his hands. core military strength.
He has high hopes for this army, hoping that they can set an example for Meng'an Mooke, which is a rotten quagmire everywhere, and become a national elite that Daikin can rely on. So he put a lot of effort into training and treatment, and because of this, he really didn't want this army to hastily confront a strong enemy.
At least not yet. In another year and a half, when the soldiers are more refined and the equipment is better, sooner or later they will have a chance encounter with the Mongols. But now, the army of more than 10,000 people has just been formed. They are not only the support of Anzhen, but also the seeds for the Jurchens to re-energize and revive their martial arts. This kind of seed is so precious that Pusan Anzhen does not want to waste its power at all.
Yi La Chu Cai also saw this clearly, so that's why he spoke like this.
This is inevitable. After all, a group of militiamen dared to go to Zhongdu, which was besieged by heavy troops, but the serious Jurchens were patrolling outside Meng'an to defeat the army. Even if Yiza Chucai is a humble gentleman, he will always feel a little unhappy in his heart.
According to Pusan Anzhen's past temperament, he would refute on the spot. But at this moment, he pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Your ambassador Guo Xuan sent troops and transported food for the overall purpose of resisting Mongolia. My servant San Anzhen is guarding Hebei for the overall purpose of resisting Mongolia. Jin Qing, don't forget Well, the reason why you can stay safely in Shandong is because I control the key passes in Hebei and try my best to block the Mongols' southward movement. As for the success of King Qin in entering Zhongdu, it should be your family's mission, and I am not jealous. .”
Yi La Chucai chuckled twice: "The envoy Pu San said it rightly, but I just made a mistake."
"To the west of Liangxiang, there are undulating mountains such as Longquan Mountain and Fulonggang. To the south is Yangou, which is enough to deter the Mongolian troops from Zhuozhou. Thirteen miles to the east is the Lugou River. Walk along the river for twenty miles to the north and cross Guangzhou. After Liqiao, walk another twenty miles to Zhongdu. This distance can be reached by Qingqi in an hour, but if your baggage team moves more quickly, it can be passed in one day."
Pusan Anzhen looked into the distance and continued: "I have sent out capable scouts to investigate the movements of Zhongdu, but there has been no response so far. When will the soldiers and horses of Zhongdu arrive? I will meet them and we will be done. .What happens after that is up to you!"
"Zhongdu and Yijin Pass are separated by more than two hundred miles, and there are many enemy cavalry patrols and garrison areas halfway. It is very difficult to deliver the message, so I cannot agree on a specific time limit. But I also sent people to Zhongdu for two consecutive days to contact Come on, I think food and supplies are in short supply in the city. I have more than 30,000 stones of food here, so we must not lose anything. Soldiers and horses will come out of the city to meet us tomorrow at the latest."
"Tomorrow?"
Pusan Anzhen frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end he just said: "Our troops will rest in Liangxiang for at most one day, and we will set off and turn back tomorrow to avoid missing Yijin Pass. How is the response in the city, Jin Qing, please keep an eye on it yourself!"
"That's as it should be." Yi La Chucai bowed slightly.
While the two were talking, Pusan Anzhen's soldiers and horses were arrayed on the Liaoshi Hill in the east of Liangxiang, while Ding Haijun's baggage queue slowly entered the county town under the cover of hundreds of light cavalry.
The Ding Navy has dispatched so many civilians and supplies, so naturally it will not go empty-handed, but will completely entrust its own safety to Pusan Anzhen. The civil servants who accompanied the baggage team were obviously carefully selected, and most of them were equipped with swords and other sidearms.
In the eyes of the Hebei soldiers, any civil servant pushing a cart or driving a donkey in the baggage queue was a capable man. Many of them had obvious signs of military training, and some even acted with murderous intent.
This situation shocked the Meng'an officials at first, but after asking them, they found out that these civil servants were from the shadow households in Shandong who had a good chance of signing up for the army; many of them were not soldiers now. Hu, in the past, he had served as a soldier, fought in wars, and even killed people in Shandong, Hebei and other places.
Most of such people in Hebei have been recruited into the army. Even if they are not trying to defeat the army in Meng'an, they can still find generals in other armies of Pusan Anzhen. However, Shandong has probably accepted too many refugees in the past year. To treat these people as ordinary hard-working civil servants is really a bright pearl cast into darkness.
So after they arrived at Yijin Pass, there were servants of Anzhen who used various excuses to deal with these people and make promises in a roundabout way.
In particular, Wan Yan was unfavorable in the battle in Shandong that day. Because he lost the prestige of Hebei on the battlefield and had loopholes in running the army, he was dismissed by An Zhen several times. Now that Pusan Anzhen's strength has expanded a lot, the strength of his troops is actually not as good as when he was stationed in Qinghe Town.
Seeing Shandong using so many capable men as ordinary civil servants, Wanyan's eyes turned red. He did not hesitate to condescend to talk to those civil servants in person, and even took money or handed over banknotes on the spot, hoping to seduce them to join him.
The results are frustrating.
Among the tens of thousands of people, Wan Yan was talking to no less than thirty or fifty people, but not one of them responded to him, not even one of them took money seriously.
Some people openly slandered Wanyan. In today's world, what is reliable? If you hold the money in your hand, it will be robbed; if the land is half served, someone will come and burn it to death; you must have a reliable leader to lead and countless reliable partners to protect your gains. Otherwise, no matter how much you get, you won't be able to keep it for a few days, and even your own life will become someone else's.
At first, Wanyan didn't understand what he said, so he boasted about how good my servant was as a propaganda envoy. As a result, the civil servant who spoke before said blankly: "I can only trust our Ambassador Guo. I don't trust any other court official, not to mention the envoys, including the marshal, prince, and emperor!"
When it comes to this, we can no longer talk about it.
During the military meeting that night, Pusan Anzhen asked Wanyan about Wanyan's theory, and Wanyan's theory responded in full. Pusan Anzhen was so angry that he jumped up and said, "The whole Shandong is full of rebels."
After the violence, the two families still have to cooperate.
But Pusan Anzhen's subordinates were really afraid of the nonsense of those people, and they stayed away from them from then on.
At this time, Wan Yan was standing on the high point of the stone hill, looking at the servants San Anzhen and Yi La Chucai who were talking, and at the civil servants and the light cavalry protecting the civil servants.
He was really itching and couldn't bear it, so he asked his surroundings: "Where are the cavalry? The civilians are already so fierce, and the cavalry are even more elite. Who has tried to find out which section they belong to? Is there anything we can do..."
"I heard that this cavalry is guarded by Guo Ning's personal soldiers. Many of the cavalry are famous warriors drawn from various ministries, or the backbone of the army such as corps commanders and chief commanders, so they are extremely tough. The leader, Zhao Jue, accompanies him every day. Guo Ning is inseparable."
Well, for such a team, the treatment will be more generous, and they will be more loyal to Guo Ning. It is too difficult to poach someone.
Wanyan Xianlun sighed heavily.
