Chapter 269 The Covenant

Dengzhou is a branch county of Laizhou. After Guo Ning arrived in Shandong, Geng Ge completely ignored him.Because he is an important ally of Yang An'er in Dengzhou, and relying on his status as the governor of Dengzhou, he is also an important cover link for Yang An'er to provide grain and fodder reserves.

At that time, the matter of Yang An'er raising troops was already in full swing.Geng Ge and Shi Poli of Ninghai Prefecture met in secret day and night, fighting hard, how could they be interested in paying attention to Guo Ning, an outsider?It is expected that he could not stand firmly in a hurry, and he would be wiped out by Marshal Yang's army.

Who knew that this outsider was a ferocious tiger. Three or five days after entering Laizhou, Xu Ruxian and others who had a close relationship with Yang An'er in Laizhou were wiped out.Then the Mongolian army that ran rampant in the Central Plains entered the bandits and was also repelled by Guo Ning.

By this time, I couldn't help being nervous.

Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture are located in the easternmost section of the Shandong Peninsula, facing the sea in the east and Laizhou in the west.Guo Ning gained a firm foothold in Laizhou and blocked the connection between Dengzhou, Ninghaizhou and Yang An'er.

When the Mongols came, the Jin army's strength in Shandong was greatly reduced, and this was a good opportunity for Yang An'er to raise troops.But what about Geng and Spurley?
Are you still fighting?Are you still rebelling?If troops were raised to respond as usual, Guo Ning's troops would no longer be restrained by the Mongols. How would they resist the attack of their iron cavalry?

Geng Ge was wholeheartedly planning for Yang An'er's great cause, but at the end of the day, he ran into such a thing, and he couldn't help but toss and turn, worried.Therefore, this time Yang An'er was meeting the heroes at Moqi Mountain, and Geng Ge also rode Jian Cong to the meeting, trying to negotiate a solution with Yang An'er in private.

Unfortunately, when he went out to meet Liu Erzu with Yang An'er, Guo Ning Qingqi rushed in and surrounded him.And when Guo Ning turned back, Yan Ning, the Juzhou prosecutor in the queue, recognized Geng Ge again.

The arrest of a Dengzhou governor who had thrown himself into a thief was an unexpected joy of this trip, and there was no reason to let it go.

Guo Ning immediately smiled and said to Yang An'er: "It turns out that Geng Shijun is also a guest at Moqi Mountain? When I was returning, I happened to be on the way, so I asked Geng Shijun to turn back together."

In the situation at that time, how could Yang An'er dare to say a word?Geng Ge has some opinions, but who listens to him?
So he followed the kidnapper horse Qingqi on the road in a daze, not even bringing his own scorpion with him.

He rode for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. When the camp started, everyone was busy, and Geng Ge could only sit down.

Of course, this was deliberately ordered by Guo Ning.

It's not petty, but he hopes that Geng Ge is a smart person who can understand the changes in status and think clearly about the gap in strength.

What Geng Ge honored was nothing more than his status as the governor of Dengzhou.But the situation in Shandong is like this, all parties have their own plans, and the official positions of governor and Jiedushi are all false.Everyone speaks according to their strength. If they are strong, they will speak loudly. If they are weak, they will submit honestly. There is nothing to tangle with.

Now seeing that Guo Ning was still being polite to Geng Ge, Ni Yi took a soup bowl and put it in front of Geng Ge, and handed him two scones.

Geng Ge followed the crowd on a long journey, and he was extremely nervous along the way. By now he was really hungry, so he picked it up and devoured it.

But at this moment, Guo Ning said: "There are a few rules, and you have to explain them to Mr. Geng."

Geng Ge quickly swallowed the scones in his mouth: "Please tell me about the festival."

"For one thing, in the future, Governor Geng's daily governance in Dengzhou will not be interfered with. But if our army launches military settlements, civilian settlements, or other measures in Dengzhou, you will not be able to interfere. However, Governor Geng's control of the local Governance should not conflict with Ding Hai's major policies, if it can cooperate, that would be even better."

Geng Ge is a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to sit in Shandong until the governor under the suspicion of colluding with Yang An'er.Guo Ning's request was not particularly excessive. A sufficiently strong Jiedushi could have controlled Zhijun in this way.

Geng Ge nodded slightly, remained silent, waiting for Guo Ning to continue.

"Secondly, I've heard that Inspector Geng has a good official reputation in the local area, that's good. So Dinghai will give you the corresponding status and courtesy. You can talk about anything between the two families, so don't worry about us. It’s unreasonable. And we also need your cooperation when facing the imperial court, the Commander of the Army, and the Commissioner of the Police on Shandong Road.”

"It's a matter of course."

"Three times, you and I are not loyal ministers of the court, so you can speak freely. I don't know why you chose to stand with Yang An'er..."

Geng Ge opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, Guo Ning stopped him.

"But I think, Governor Geng, you can watch carefully in Dengzhou. If you care about the people, you will see that the life of the people in Laizhou will only get better; if you care about the rebellion, the overthrow of the Jurchen court , you will see this imperial court coming to an end; if what you care about is personal income... as long as Dengzhou and Dinghai maintain cooperation, you will continue to gain something, and what you get will definitely be more than what Yang An'er gave."

Around the bonfire, everyone was silent.

Guo Ning stared at Geng Ge, and slowly said: "So, please watch patiently. Within a year or two, many things will have results, and you will find that following Dinghai is the only correct choice."

Guo Ning's eyes reflected the light of the bonfire jumping, and his calm face revealed strong confidence.In Geng Ge's view, even if he was sitting, the Dinghai Jiedushi still looked tall, with a straight back, a steady and powerful figure, and extremely broad shoulders. He was obviously a brave warrior with unparalleled physical strength.But he is not the kind of rough and fierce martial artist. When he talks, his tone is very gentle and his words are methodical.

Geng grinned softly: "Two years a year?"

"Exactly."

"At that time, what if the situation changes?"

Guo Ning said with a smile: "If the situation is not according to my judgment, I will be the one who is in trouble, and it will no longer be Geng Shishi... What are you doing for me?"

Geng Ge took a deep breath: "Such a turbulent world can't be controlled too much. It would be good if Guo Jiedu can really stabilize the jurisdiction of the Ding Navy for a year or two."

"Then, is that the deal?"

Geng Ge turned sideways, and the next official bowed like his superior.

"Oh yes, there is one more thing."

Guo Ning took a goose leg and tore it apart, and said in a deep voice: "Wugu Lun Rongzu is the governor of Ninghai Prefecture, and Shi Poli is the great man of Ninghai Prefecture. My demands on them are the same as those of Governor Geng. Please also ask Geng The governor conveyed it to me."

"Of order." Geng bowed his head.

Raising his head, he couldn't help asking: "What if the two of them are unwilling to cooperate?"

"Then Governor Geng doesn't have to worry about it." Guo Ning said casually, "I have plenty of solutions."

At this time, on Moqi Mountain, Yang An'er's banquet for the group of heroes was in full swing.

Although the cottage is not a bustling city, Yang An'er has always been generous. She has bought a lot of delicacies and wines, and there is also a team of female music specially prepared to dance enchantingly in front of the hall.

At first the atmosphere of the banquet was a little serious, but as the crowd got drunk, Yang An'er's subordinates toasted with Liu Erzu's subordinates, gradually eating and drinking happily.

The seriousness at first was inevitable.Today Dinghai Guo Ning came out, greatly sweeping away the prestige of the big guy, everyone present, who doesn't feel the burning pain in the cheek?It would be strange if you could open your mind and have fun at this time.

But while eating and drinking, everyone gradually figured out a truth.

Guo Ning drove hundreds of miles away, and he didn't kill anyone at the foot of Moqi Mountain except for a few sentries who tried to stop the cavalry from attacking.This important court general obviously has friendship with Marshal Yang!
It seems that after the official formation of the army, it is really great that there is no need to fight with such powerful cavalry.

Some people thought this way in their hearts, but they didn't want to lose their momentum when they were outside, so they got angry by drinking, and continued to scold the foreigner Guo Ning for being arrogant and arrogant, and even more frivolous and reckless.If he cooperates, it's fine, if he has any other intentions, sooner or later he will be defeated by Marshal Yang and Marshal Liu, and everyone will be able to vent their anger by hanging their heads outside the gate.

Just as he was talking happily, several leaders sitting at the top all stood up to stop him.

"Ahem, there's no need to say that. It's best if the two families don't invade each other."

"Huh? Can't you say it? Are you afraid of Guo Liulang?"

Those leaders were all surrounded by Guo Ning and Qingqi.What kind of agreement Yang An'er and Guo Ning reached, others don't know, but they do.At that moment, several people said: "You are drunk! Go and rest!"

The drunk man shook his head unwillingly, squinted his eyes and looked at the host and guest seats, but he couldn't find Yang An'er and Liu Erzu.

It seems that the two great chiefs have other important matters and have already gone elsewhere to discuss.

He suddenly lost interest, picked up the jug, grabbed a pig leg, and wobbled out the door.
