After the war, Guo Ning first visited various ministries to boost morale, and then urged military doctors to quickly treat the injured soldiers. Finally, he returned to the Chinese army and convened the generals for a post-war meeting.
This kind of meeting is not only about strategizing, but also very complicated and complicated. Therefore, when Guo Ning met Zhao Jue in the outer tent, he rubbed his brows from time to time. It seemed that he was not very energetic and seemed to be more exhausted than if he had been fighting in person.
After hearing Zhao Jue's report, Guo Ning frowned and thought for a moment, then motioned for Zhao Jue to take a seat.
As his status became higher and his strength became stronger, although Guo Ning always regarded himself as a warrior, the proportion of battle or war in his mind was gradually decreasing. This is true even at this moment, facing a terrifying enemy like Genghis Khan.
The officers who were specifically responsible for every killing in the battle were the officers promoted by Guo Ning. The tactical actions performed by the soldiers also came from the daily training. Guo Ning didn't even issue a few orders except to cheer up and always be prepared for emergencies.
Now that he has sent troops to Zhongdu, he will face complex situations at any time. Guo Ning came here just to make profits in complex situations, and he was well prepared for this. During this day's confrontation and fighting, what caught Guo Ning's attention was naturally the fight with Qie Xue's army, but what made Guo Ning nervous was his handling of the Moutian army in Meng'an, Hebei.
Pusan Anzhen himself and the Hebei Meng'an Mooks he trained so hard all had silver-like pewter spear heads, and they easily became tools used by the Mongols. This was almost the only time something unexpected happened on the battlefield.
When fighting on the battlefield, if there is constant interruption, it will lead to chaos. Guo Ning was convinced of this, so he responded swiftly and dispatched troops to attack quickly, trying to control the high ground before the Mongolian army and stifle the turbulent momentum of the Jurchens.
When Ding Haijun confronted the Mongolian elite, this was an extremely correct decision tactically, and it was also the only correct decision at that moment.
But when this decision is implemented, it is inevitable that there will be some deviations. What's more, when Guo Ning gave the order, he was afraid that his subordinates would act as a trap, so he directly said harsh words?
Zhang Hui is a powerful general, and he happily takes orders to fight. When they first set off, their subordinates kept shouting, saying they were here to assist in the defense. But when they encountered the Jurchen's broken troops coming in like a wave, the soldiers immediately used their swords to fight and forcibly fought to clear the way forward.
After Zhang Hui's troops rushed up to the material stone hill. Wherever they passed, corpses were piled all over the ground, and blood flowed into rivers. The soldiers stepped on the corpses intensively, making the ground muddy. Zhao Jue led people to count the results of the battle and found that Zhang Hui's more than 700 men had lost more than 2,000 lives. Someone reported this to Guo Ning in time, and Guo Ning knew everything.
The Jurchens died unjustly.
The rules of fighting on the battlefield are like this. If you are as timid as a sheep, you must be prepared to be chopped by a butcher's knife.
The problem is that according to Ding Haijun's original strategy, Hebei and the imperial court should be placed on the front line against Mongolia. With the northeastern hinterland already isolated, Anzhen continued to encourage the servants to squeeze out the last bit of Jurchen power and put it into the vicinity of Jiancheng, the central capital. This consumes the Mongols and Jurchens at the same time, which is most beneficial to the Dinghai regime in Shandong.
This strategy has been implemented for more than half a year, and Ding Haijun has gained solid benefits for more than half a year.
But now, suddenly I can't carry it out anymore.
Ding Haijun's attack on Shangliao Shigang was, for them, a timely response to prevent danger before it happened. In the eyes of those Jurchen soldiers, Ding Haijun suddenly turned against them and attacked the Mongols from the east and west. They defeated the Muke Army in Meng'an, Hebei in one fell swoop, and killed the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty with blood flowing in rivers.
pitiful! Everyone in the Hebei Army is a Chinese citizen, they are the heart and soul of Dai Jin. They are willing to take extraordinary risks to come to Zhongdu in order to serve Dai Jin!
Hateful! The Hebei Army was originally stationed at Yijin Pass in Bazhou, allowing the Mongolian troops to ride back and forth, as secure as Mount Tai. It was because the soldiers lamented day and night that His Majesty the Emperor and the princes in the court had insufficient food supplies in Zhongdu, so they were attacked by thieves from the Ding Navy through treacherous tactics. Deceive and die in battle in Zhongdu!
How can there be such truth in the world? In the Dinghai Navy, this group of rebels from Guo Ning on down actually committed such evil deeds that outraged both humans and gods. If they were not punished, would the Kingdom of Jin still have the right to rule? Are there any laws?
Sooner or later the Jurchens will get into trouble.
The nobles in Zhongdu will not understand what an army with the Jurchens as its backbone and rebuilt according to the Meng'an Muke system represents. Although Hebei Ba Meng'an was brutally cleaned by his servant Anzhen several times, and his teeth and tendons were eventually broken, he still maintained contact with many noble people behind his back.
The defeat of this Meng'an army was a secondary blow to the power of the Jin Dynasty. The key is that the possibility of many nobles in the DPRK and China controlling force outside the capital has been completely shattered. Such a painful loss will inevitably trigger a huge backlash.
Guo Ning is not afraid of any changes from the Jurchens. The Ding Navy has expanded to this extent and has its own partners in North Korea and China, with deep and wide interests involved. If they really want to break up, I don't know which one is more scared.
But the intelligence and wisdom of Zhenguiwei, the daughter of the court, is probably as reliable as the mighty master trained by servant Anzhen. Those idiots among the Jurchens will definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble.
Guo Ning naturally wanted to avoid this situation. At least he had to take advantage of the fact that the army was on Zhongdu Road to make some impact on the situation in Zhongdu to ensure his own interests.
That's why Guo Ning specially ordered Zhao Jue to find Pusan Anzhen as soon as possible.
If this key figure can be controlled in time, it will be equivalent to controlling the channel for Hebei to speak out to Zhongdu. To a certain extent, Hebei can even be controlled.
Guo Ning met Pusan Anzhen once in Zhongdu City and once in Qinghe Town, Shandong Province. The two meetings made Guo Ning feel that Pusan Anzhen was arrogant but weak. He was by no means a fierce warrior who could fight against the current. He was a smart man.
When this man was in Zhongdu, he was recruited by Tu Danyi as a foreign aid, but he did not dare to fight against the armies of Hu Shahu and Shuhu Gaoqi, and only made some small moves secretly. After he arrived in Hebei, he coveted the richness of Shandong, so he spent a lot of time So much effort was devoted to the Red Coat Army, but as soon as Guo Ning arrived with his troops, he immediately surrendered.
It can be seen that a fierce warrior may get angry and reckless, but a smart person will not. Smart people will focus on self-preservation in an obviously disadvantageous situation, do so at any cost, and do not mind reaching any compromise.
Guo Ning asked Zhao Jue to lead his cavalry to quickly reinforce him, in order to capture the thieves and the king in one fell swoop while the sky was still dim. He very much hoped to control Pusan Anzhen, and then reach some new compromises with this smart man based on the situation at hand.
This incident, as well as the battle with Genghis Khan, are related to the overall changes in the future. Two things are almost equally important.
】
It's a pity that Zhao Jue couldn't find Pusan Anzhen?
Guo Ning was a little disappointed.
He braced himself and asked, "Have those prisoners been interrogated?"
"Yes, the soldiers have all identified each other. I personally asked the officers and servants Anzhen's guards."
"Perhaps this person rode away first and escaped far away?"
"The reconnaissance cavalry around Shigang has been placed forty-five miles away. To the east and north, they have repeatedly entangled with the Mongolian Aljinchi. The number of Jurchens escaping in the wild is slightly larger, and the reconnaissance cavalry have gone After checking, nothing was found. Unless he walked away alone..."
Guo Ning shook his head. This gentleman is your noble stomach, your consort, the best among the general's disciples, and the pampered and pampered disciple. If he had the courage and determination to run away alone in the wilderness, he would not be him.
"Then it's really possible that he was captured by the Mongols."
"According to the results of our inquiry, when the Mongolian army retreated, they took away more than a thousand soldiers and 400 horses. The Hebei army was completely in chaos at that time. No one knows the specific situation, but Pu San Anzhen is likely to be among them."
Having said this, Zhao Jue paused and felt a little ashamed: "Envoy, why don't I order some more light cavalry, use my good hands, and ride around the mountains with one person and two horses until early in the morning..."
"No need."
Guo Ning waved his hand: "You don't need to mind too much if you are a Jurchen official. Besides, Lao Han attacked the Mongols at night in Liaodong. They must be prepared for the same routine. Well, let's also collect our reconnaissance cavalry. Come back some more, twenty miles, that's enough."
