In the past few years, the ferocity and brutality of the Mongols has left a deep impression on everyone. More and more people have begun to believe that perhaps the sudden rise of these beasts represents some kind of destiny; perhaps God's favor has changed, and the Jurchens' hegemony in the domain will be overthrown by their more barbaric counterparts. replace.
The last time the Mongolian army went south, there were very few Jin army generals who took the initiative to surrender at the military gate. There were heroic people everywhere who defended the city to the death. However, this time the Mongols broke through the Beijing Road first and used far less troops than the previous year. However, they obtained the obedience of a large number of local generals on the Beijing Road and formed an army of more than 100,000 in an instant. This was the result of the gradual spread of this idea.
But the victory of Dinghai Navy gave the Mongolian army a blow.
The scale of this battle was not large, but it was a head-on confrontation between Genghis Khan and Guo Ning. The difference between victory and defeat is the difference between superior and inferior, and there is absolutely no room for explanation.
As the Ding navy released the reconnaissance cavalry, they began to search for the lone Mongolians. Various rumors about Genghis Khan's whereabouts were also collected. After half an hour, Guo Ning confirmed that Genghis Khan had abandoned his white paper in advance and escaped into the lake alone, thus surviving. At this moment, he had probably reunited with Shiji Hutulu's troops and headed north quickly.
After the news spread, some soldiers expressed deep regret and even cried and shouted that they were only one step away from revenge. More soldiers set off another wave of cheers.
The more embarrassed Genghis Khan fled, the more he proved Guo Ning's martial prowess. There is no doubt that the Mongolian army's rising momentum, which was about to be unstoppable, was stopped by Guo Ning and his soldiers. The shock caused by this victory will be like a mountain peak collapsing into the sea, causing huge waves.
The more discerning a person is, the more he can understand the meaning of this huge wave.
Zhang Shengzhi stood up and looked at the heroic figure of Guo Ning riding his horse in the distance with a pious look on his face, and then looked at Yitan Chucai.
The civil service system of the Ding Navy was much weaker than the military system, and it was almost established by the transfer of Chu materials. An important staff member like Zhang Shengzhi was originally just a bookkeeper who followed Zhang Rong, a private salt dealer, and lived in Hongtanling. Regardless of his knowledge, identity, or family background, he was completely different from the person who moved Chu materials.
Therefore, Zhang Shengzhi has always been a little afraid of disturbing Chu Cai. Fortunately, the Ordnance Department led by Zhang Shengzhi played an indispensable role in this battle. After returning home, he would definitely be rewarded based on his merits, and he became much more courageous.
Seeing that he was still a little resentful for attacking Chu Cai, Zhang Shengzhi stepped forward and advised: "Mr. Jin Qing, don't worry too much. Since ancient times, who has achieved great things and never escaped death? Perhaps my lord is destined by fate, so he can take risks again and again. Where is Ruyi?"
Yiza Chucai felt a little emotional.
Many people can feel the changes after victory, and smart people immediately try to adapt to the changes and find their own future path. Regardless of whether they are attacking Chu Cai, Zhang Shengzhi, or the soldiers, their interests have been firmly linked to Ding Haijun, and they are all pinned on Guo Ning. If Guo Ning goes higher, it means that everyone can go higher.
"Big deal? Destiny?" Yi La Chucai took a deep look at Zhang Shengzhi.
Zhang Shengzhi smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly: "Big deal! Destiny!"
Yi La Chucai also nodded, and when he was about to speak, a guard came on horseback: "Mr. Jin Qing, Zhang Canjun, the envoy invites you to come over."
The two of them walked away.
Guo Ning had already returned to the small highland where he had stopped before the war. At this time, he had issued many orders related to military affairs. When he saw Yizai Chucai and other civil servants arriving, he said:
"This matter must be arranged by you. There are many injured soldiers. They must not move easily. The political officers will count the medicinal materials on hand as soon as possible, mobilize the medical officers to diagnose and treat them attentively, and try their best to rescue them. If there are insufficient medicinal materials and medical officers, they will In the name of Shandong's Xuanfu envoy, the rest of the soldiers rested here. Don't worry about the food expenses. As long as there is sufficient supply, the soldiers are not allowed to drink, but they must have meat and eat enough. This The merits of the battle must also be tallied on the spot, and recorded in the books before tonight, so that the soldiers can feel at ease."
"We will do our best to get it done," Yi La Chucai and Zhang Shengzhi said.
Guo Ning added: "It is a happy event to win the battle, but the rules cannot be messed up and the army cannot be loose. Wang Shixian arranged for various ministries to be stationed, and also took charge of the Military Justice Department, strictly enforced military discipline, and dealt with the prisoners."
"yes."
"Dong Jin immediately sent more sentries to closely monitor the surrounding areas to prevent the Mongols from coming back. In addition, he asked capable people to convey the news of victory, and sent a few more teams to head toward Yijin Pass..."
Speaking of this, there was a person in the crowd who looked like a Jurchen military academy, raised his hand and shouted repeatedly: "We already know it here at Yijin Pass!"
Guo Ning nodded slightly and continued: "It still has to be spread along the Marco Polo River..."
A Khitan officer in the crowd also raised his hand with a smile on his face and shouted: "This side of the Lugou River, the garrison at Liukou will know it soon. If the envoy wants to go to Wozikou, Wuqing, Miaoyin and other places, , we are also willing to assist!”
Guo Ning pointed at the officer and said to Dong Jin, "Go find him."
Dong Jin bowed in response and came down from the high slope.
"In addition, we have to send a team of people to send a message in the direction of Zhongdu to prevent any unusual movement there."
A child in the crowd got on the saddle and loudly said: "Envoy Guo Xuan, over there in Zhongdu, Genghis Khan's general Muhuali is now surrounded by his troops. The inside and outside have been isolated for several days. We are willing to help!"
Guo Ning pointed at the child and looked around to see if there was a suitable candidate.
During the previous fight, Ni Yi followed him holding the military flag. The military flag is eye-catching and can easily become the target of enemy siege. The person holding the flag must hold it with both hands and cannot handle it, so it is very dangerous. But Ni Yi's luck was really frightening. He survived the charge without a single scratch, and the blood on his armor and stomach was all Mongolian.
At that moment, Ni Yi was very excited: "Envoy, let me go!"
Guo Ning looked at him for a few times and nodded.
The kid in charge dismounted his horse with both hands and feet, and when he was about to greet Ni Yi, he suddenly thought of something. He turned over and stood on the saddle again, shouting: "The envoy just said that the wounded need doctors and medicine. My brother has already gone to collect them, and they can bring them to the camp in an hour at most. The beef and mutton food that the soldiers need, We have them too; we also have good cooks, all of whom will arrive tonight!"
It was actually a bit abrupt to say such words suddenly. But a boss boy speaks with sincerity, how can Guo Ning ask for more?
When Ding Haijun and the Mongolian army were fighting, there were many spectators from the surrounding areas who rushed over, and most of them knew each other. They were all figures who had traveled between the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia in the past few years.
Seeing that the battle situation was settled, many people rushed back to report the news, but some were more decisive and made an immediate choice and came to Guo Ning to ask for a meeting. Guo Ning was busy, so he was not in a hurry to see them, nor did he stop them from mixing in the crowd and joining in the fun.
At this moment, dozens of eyes in the crowd were looking at the child. Some people said angrily: "What an identity Guo Xuanzhi has, and how murderous he is! Shi Tianze is a brave boy. His father and brother are all high-ranking Mongolian officials... and he is not afraid." Guo Xuanshi found out his identity and skinned him!"
Someone else said: "The Shi family is a local tycoon in Yongqing County, and their appeal in Bazhou is probably stronger than that of Pusan Anzhen. They are closest to the battlefield, and it is easiest to supply military supplies. In any case, this flattery, for They nailed it!"
