Chapter 138

There was a clanging sound of armor behind him, and it was Jue's servants who came up to him.

Guo Ning waved to them: "No need, you continue to guard Xuanhuamen."

"How can it be done?" Ni Yi yelled.

Guo Ning laughed and said, "Why not? Go!"

He usually treats people kindly, but if he is in the army, he is extremely strict.At the Feijunhe camp that day, the heads of the Chinese army hanging out at intervals outside the gate are proof.At this moment, he seemed to be understating it, but the servants were dumbfounded and dared not follow.

Hundreds of people in the city and under the city watched Guo Ning walk slowly.

He stood in the center of the open space outside the Xuanhua Gate, and looked in three directions: left, middle and right.Then go to the left first.

It took more than half an hour for Guo Ning's troops to enter the city at noon and kill Hu Shahu, and it only took an hour to completely control the line from Xuanyao Gate to the imperial palace.

On the contrary, later on, all forces in Zhongdu came forward to wipe out Hu Shahu's tribe, and it took a full hour.It took another hour for these forces to gather in front of the Xuanhua Gate one after another and confront each other awkwardly.

It's the turn of summer and autumn, and it's getting dark late.

But these people couldn't help moving too slowly, the sky was dark now, and another night was about to fall.

Late last night, the city of Zhongdu experienced a rare catastrophe, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came and went to fight.While fighting, they set fire, looted, massacred, raped, and destroyed.It wasn't until after noon today that the city gradually settled down.

But is this stability long-lasting?Or, at night, will the military disaster break out again?

Most of the people can't tell clearly.They only knew that it was the right deputy marshal Hu Shahu who led the troops into the city to slaughter, and he was already dead.But later... the city was still in chaos, and no one came forward to restore order.On the contrary, some ruffians took advantage of the fire to rob, broke in in groups, laughed wildly, and acted recklessly.

This situation scared everyone into a panic.They could only hide at home tremblingly, trying their best to seal the door tightly.Even when it was dark, no one dared to light a lamp or start a stove, for fear that the light or smoke would attract the attention of outsiders.Even if she wanted to cry, she could only hide in a dark corner of the room, not daring to make a sound.

Only the inside and outside of Xuanhua Gate are brightly lit.

Behind each battlement, armored soldiers lit torches.

Guo Ning walked north along the city wall, occasionally looking up.

The soldiers on guard on the city wall looked at their generals with some concern. Someone waved to Guo Ning, and Guo Ning waved to them too.

Of course the soldiers were worried. Guo Ning suddenly acted alone in this weird situation. No matter how you looked at it, it was not safe enough.

But Guo Ning was not nervous.

He is a person who has been born and died many times on the battlefield. If you count the ambushed in the reed marsh in Anzhou, he has already died once and then came back alive.After going through those things, people's mentality will be different from before.

The safety and danger in Guo Ning's eyes are also different from those of ordinary people.

In his opinion, there is no absolute safety in this world.Especially in this kind of world, the more you seek safety, the more cautious you are, the easier it is to get lost, and then fall into a dangerous situation; and the more bold you are, the more daring you are to do things that ordinary people dare not do, to make choices that ordinary people dare not think about, On the contrary, it seems to be in danger.

That's why he pulled the big men in Hebei, controlled King Sheng, and brought a rare commodity to live in.Of course, the examples Du Shisheng gave to them, those Cao Cao, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Li Yuan, Zhu Wen and so on, were a bit too much.Du Shisheng, an old man, is afraid in his bones that the world will not be chaotic, and always wants to fix things.

Still, that's okay.

In this kind of world, one dares to think and act, but once you make a bold decision and act boldly, you will find that those seemingly powerful and unshakable things are actually already on the verge of collapse, and will fall if pushed.

And in this process, those who think they are smart people are the best to deal with.

At this moment, these parties were afraid of each other, all of them thought too much, and were timid, and there was no movement for an hour.In fact, there are some things, there are some pros and cons to weigh, so what if you think about it a thousand times or ten thousand times?Guo Ning doesn't have to think with them at all, he just needs to do it.

Guo Ning is very convinced that when he takes action, none of these people is enough to hinder him.

When Guo Ning raised his head and waved to his soldiers, Shuhu Gao Qi and his generals also looked up.

They saw that the defenses of the city head illuminated by the fire were well-organized, with archers, crossbowmen, and spearmen in their respective positions, without omissions.From time to time, military officers led patrol teams passing by, shouting orders along the way to be careful.

It is very rare for an army to be like this on weekdays.And it is even more difficult for them to win a battle and control the center of the Dajin Kingdom, and they can still do this.

Shu Hu Gao Qi thought about it, probably he had to indulge the soldiers in a robbery, otherwise the Lord would be resented by others, and he would not be able to speak well in the future.

And the fact that the soldiers and horses in front of us can do this shows two points.One, this army has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely experienced from top to bottom; two, this army has a highly prestigious commander who can order and prohibit.

Shu Hu Gao Qi had just sent someone to inquire about Guo Ning's deeds, and the more he knew, the more he felt that Guo Ning in Changzhou was not easy!
Thinking about it more carefully, the old man Tu Shanyi, who has been pretending to be cowardly in front of Wanyan Zuocheng for several years, actually has such preparations?The elite of thousands of people belonged to a white-bodied rout leader?Don't worry about this old man!

What a boldness, unfathomable!
For a moment, Shuhu Gao Qi was a little hesitant.The number of people he brought to Zhongdu City at this moment is no more than [-].These [-] people have already been selected as good fighters, but he himself is the commander of the army, and he can tell at a glance that his troops are as elite and equipped as the thousands of people guarding Miyagi at this time. gap.

Such a strong soldier can compete with the Mongolian army, right?

It's not that the soldiers under my command are incapable of fighting, but...ahem, there are nine out of ten chances that they won't win.

Moreover, Marshal Ben is not a lunatic like Hu Shahu.

Ups and downs in the court are commonplace.I came to Zhongdu to share the meat, not to offer myself to others.Therefore, it is still best not to fight, don't use the knife, and rely on lip service to gain benefits.

Look, the person who killed Hu Shahu, didn't Guo Ning of Changzhou come?
It is quite sincere to come alone.

It seems that this person also knows that it is not good to flaunt his prestige in front of Marshal You Dujian, haha.

Might as well listen to what he has to say.

Thinking so, Shu Hu Gao Qi got off the horse ahead of time, watched Guo Ning come up to him, and saluted.

"Are you Marshal Shuhu?"

This question is not very polite, but the person in front of him has just personally proposed to carry out such a major event, and his momentum is in full swing, so it is not easy to criticize him.

"It's handsome!"

Shuhu Gao Qi nodded reservedly.

Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard Guo Ning take it for granted: "It's good to be Marshal Shuhu. Come, I'll take you to see King Sheng."

This……

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Shuhu Gao Qi's mind.

go?Still not going?

Is it really King Sheng?It seems that the opinion of the court has been decided?
Asking me to pay a visit, does this mean Tu Danyi, or the meaning of being promoted to the king?
There are so many high-ranking officials present, no one else moved, and I was called first. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

He was thinking too much and too hastily, hot sweat suddenly broke out from the brow of his forehead, wading over his eyebrows and eyelashes, making his eyes burn and hurt.

Shu Hu Gao Qi quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, but Guo Ning still looked confident and impatient: "Marshal Shu Hu, please follow me!"

Not a bad thing!Shouldn't be a bad thing!If there is really any plot, can this Guo Ning be in this posture?Isn't he afraid of being swarmed up by soldiers from my left and right, and chopped into meat?
Shuhu Gao Qi made up his mind.

He took a long breath: "Okay, okay! Guo...this..."

Guo Ning has no imperial duties, so Shu Hu Gao Qi didn't know what to call him for a while, but he was quick-witted and laughed and said, "Liulang, let's go together!"

The guard leader hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Marshal, don't move lightly!"

Shuhu Gao Qi glanced at him, hesitated a little.

But he didn't want to lose face in front of Guo Ning, and he didn't want to make the future emperor and the future number one official in the court think he was domineering, so he gritted his teeth: "It's okay, you guys wait here!"

The two turned back together.

Guo Ning was polite, and took the first half step several times, making a leading gesture.Shu Hu Gao Qi thought, his family followed anyway, so why put on airs?So he rushed forward and walked side by side with Guo Ning, and chatted a few words casually, praising Guo Ning's military exploits.

The two came so slowly, and turned back to the Xuanhua Gate.Along the way, many people heard Shuhu Gaoqi's words, so they all asked: "Did you hear that, this is Guo Liulang from Changzhou! Where does this person come from? He is very familiar with Marshal Shuhu!"

From a little distance away, Tu Danyi couldn't believe his eyes as he watched Guo Ning walk up to Shuhu Gaoqi's subordinates and then come out with Shuhu Gaoqi.

Shuhu Gaoqi came to Zhongdu suddenly to disrupt the situation. Tu Shanyi was worried that this was another Hu Shahu, so he planned to deal with this gentleman after everything was settled.But now...

"What's going on?" Tu Danyi asked sharply, "Could it be that Guo Ning... is still a lobbyist?"

Chongxuanzi also found it ridiculous: "I don't think he said a few words? Is Shuhu Gaoqi bewitched?"
