Chapter 27 Conditions
Two Mingdi were sent to Yang You and Guo Yaoer.

Yang You looked at it, not knowing why.

Guo Yaoer gasped.

This Mingdi is used by elite generals and schools in the army, and its specifications are very high.The bone whistle on the arrow is not tied to the arrow cluster with a rope, or even made of bone, but an iron product that is worn on the chisel-shaped arrow cluster.

Ji Junli's troops never returned, and after the enemy in the south had been busy under the lights for a while, they shot out these two Mingdi to say hello...

What does this Mingdi represent?
Thinking of this, Guo Yaoer suddenly turned around and shouted to an attendant, "Where are the arrows that the enemy shot into the village before? Bring some!"

The servant hurried away.

After a while, he came back with four or five arrows in both hands.

Guo Yaoer picks up one. It feels burr in the hand, and the surface is not painted. One can tell that it is newly made recently, and it is not something that has been picked up and used repeatedly.He held the arrow cluster with one hand, and with a little force, the joint between the arrow cluster and the arrow shaft immediately broke.

He took a few more to try, all the same.

Seeing that Guo Yaoer's face was cloudy, the attendant leaned forward and said, "General, the arrow shafts used by the thieves are not cut from bamboo, but willow wood. It doesn't look very strong..."

"Shut up!" Guo Yaoer scolded.

He turned to Yang You, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiulang, Da Jin Shaozhu, so the arrow shafts used by the armies in northern Xinjiang are mostly made of willow wood, which is different from ours in Shandong. On the day when Da Jin Jiulu attacked Song Dynasty, there was a soldier from the northwest to recruit An old soldier from the company was with me, and according to the old soldier, if the willow arrow shaft is properly crafted, there is something special about it."

In terms of battlefield experience and insight, Guo Yaoer is only second to Li Siwen in the Tiewa Army, and even Yang Aner himself is far behind.Yang You didn't dare to ignore the old man's words, and hurriedly said, "What's so great about it? Please tell me!"

Guo Yaoer handed the broken arrow to Yang You, and asked him to take a closer look: "The willow pole is easily broken due to sideways force. After a soldier is hit by an arrow, if he wants to pull it out, he will inevitably shake it a little bit. But the technique is negligent. The shaft of the willow wood arrow broke, and the arrowhead stayed deep inside the body, making it impossible to pull it out. As a result, small injuries can be fatal, which is what the Rong people fear most. In the Northern Xinjiang Army, only those with outstanding archery skills and rich experience in the battlefield can They will consciously grind the shaft of the arrow to achieve the effect of removing arrowheads from the shaft.”

Yang You looked at the falling arrow clusters: "You mean..."

Guo Yaoer lowered his voice: "These arrows are all newly made. It can be seen that many of the people who attacked the village just now are experts who have fought for a long time in the northern border trenches! Such experts can count as ten by one, even if It is hard to say that we will win when we set up a formation to fight head-on. But after Ji Junli led his troops out, they immediately collapsed. Do you think, Jiulang-jun, why is this? These people came here specially to lure the enemy! Ji Junli said Ministry, it's over!"

Ji Junli chased him out in the middle of the night holding a staff with open fire, but there was no news at all until now, Yang You had already had a bad prediction.But when Guo Yaoer said it so directly, it still surprised him.

Guo Yaoer didn't stop talking.

He raised the two Mingdi to his eyes for a closer look, and said: "As for these two..."

"What's so mysterious about these two?"

"According to the rules of sending orders on the battlefield of the garrison army on the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang, the corps chiefs use watchtowers, even the chiefs use banners, and the hundred chiefs use tambourines. Only when they reach the level of thousands of chiefs or fierce Anbo extremely fierce, will they use such excellent Ming Dy... ...This is usually used to indicate the direction for the kidnapping horse to charge the enemy's formation!"

Speaking of this, Guo Yaoer couldn't help climbing up the high wall with a few strides, and looked towards the fire in the south: "This Mingdi is telling us that a powerful person who leads a thousand-man cavalry brigade has arrived here ! This move is not only to declare our strength to us, but also to invite us to talk before the battle!"

Yang You stood down, seeing Guo Yaoer's expression, he couldn't help laughing: "A powerful person? In the past two years, this group of defeated soldiers has been panicked like a dog losing their home. How can there be any powerful person? If there is a powerful person who commands the group, then How could it be reduced to such a panic?"

Guo Yaoer was speechless for a moment, and Yang You said in his ear: "This kind of person, how dare you invite us to have a talk before the battle?"

Guo Yaoer came down from the high wall and was standing in front of the closed main door.

In just one day and night, the Gucheng store was slaughtered twice, and the door panel was kicked down repeatedly. At this moment, it couldn't be closed properly at all, so it just barely stood there.The night wind whimpered through the crack of the door, making people chill.

Guo Yaoer hurriedly left the door for a few steps, and came to the angry Yang You.

Yang An'er's uncle and nephew have been rampant in Shandong for several years, and He Zha, who has been dispatched in several defeats, is fierce and proud.And because I stayed in the Jiming Mountain area last year, I never really went to the front to fight the Mongols, so I don't know how powerful the Mongols are.Therefore, the uncle and nephew did not pay enough attention to the stragglers who retreated from the Great Wall, and compared them with the common vagrants in Shandong.

Even if the previous operation to gather the rout was not smooth, so that Yang You had to be stationed in the old city store just in case; even if Ji Junli's troops were obviously finished; Gather the strength to fight against the Tiewa Warrior Army!
This should be very clear!

These routs are definitely not the fat meat that Yang An'er thought earlier, and they are not scattered and unsystematic mobs!Although they left their hometowns and lived in Hebei, they still maintained their military demeanor and well-equipped equipment. When the situation suddenly changed, they were able to gather together to fight against each other immediately, showing strong combat effectiveness... This is a strong enemy!
When Guo Yaoer rebelled in Shandong, sometimes there were only a dozen or twenty people left around him, and he often had to face the pursuit of hundreds or thousands of people from the imperial court.Not a single one of the village and clan relatives who followed him died long ago.He is not afraid of strong enemies.

But now that Marshal Yang is making a big move, he really shouldn't have caused such a disturbance!Marshal Yang's foundation has always been in Shandong. As long as he goes to Shandong and raises his arms, he will have [-] soldiers at his fingertips.There are nothing more than some rout soldiers in front of them, how about gathering them?So what if you don't close it?
The small things that were thought to be the icing on the cake turned out to be worthless. Is it a good deal?This battle is not well-known!

In case the situation worsens, who can take responsibility?
"Mr. Jiulang, sit still in the village. I'll come forward to see what's going on."

Guo Yaoer made up his mind.

Yang You frowned: "These thieves... When it is dawn, let's call all the ministries to gather and wipe them out immediately! What are we going to talk to them about?"

"Since they are blocking the door to invite you, they must have something to rely on. They have already become powerful, and if you mention anything else, it will be wiped out! We have to do big things, and we can't be dragged by small enemies." Guo Yaoer looked again Look at Ming Di in his hand: "Besides... Hey, maybe Lao Ji is in their hands! He is the arm of the marshal, how can he lose it? I have to go and see!"

The officers and generals of Tiewa Ganzhan Army, including Ji Junli, are all Yang You's uncles.Since Guo Yaoer said so, Yang You couldn't stop him,
"You take the fifty armored soldiers, and I will bring someone to follow... If the situation is not right, I will be tough!"

"No, I'll take two of you, it's enough." When Guo Yaoer climbed down from the wall, he thought of another thing.

This night, I was really busy and dizzy.

He patted himself on the forehead: "How many of Han Renqing's subordinates haven't escaped yet? How many of those who broke into the village just now should have been captured by us? Mr. Jiulang, please go and turn things around a bit, and invite them to come. Ask for some details, maybe..."

"They've all been beheaded and pushed into the ditch on the west side," Yang You said.

"what?"

Yang Youli said boldly: "These people are so brave that they dare to stroke our beards. If they don't kill them, will they keep them for the New Year? They should have been killed long ago!"

Guobiter coughed a few times.Under the shadow of the fire, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed like ravines, and instantly became deeper: "That's all, that's all, Mr. Jiulang, be careful here, I'll come when I go."

Without waiting for Yang You to speak, he called the two soldiers to open the door and strode out.

He kept going along the deserted road.In the wild fields on both sides of the road, rustling footsteps appeared at some point, and someone followed them not far or near, keeping a distance.

They should be crossbowmen, Guo Yaoer thought silently, there are not many of them, so we can't help the enemy from the dark.

The strange thing is that after walking for a long time, no one came to welcome or stop him. The road ahead was always empty, and the distance to the south where the torches were shaking was getting closer and closer.

It wasn't until he stood under the shadow of the fire on both sides of the road that he could see what the piles on the road were.

It was the subordinates that Ji Junli brought out to pursue, there were as many as 50 to [-] people.These companions that Guo Yaoer was very familiar with were all lying on the ground covered with scars, tied up and unable to move, only trembling occasionally.Perhaps because of injury, fear and humiliation, many of them bowed their heads to the ground and kept their eyes shut.

Someone noticed that Guo Yaoer was coming, so he suddenly regained his energy, dragged the rope and rubbed on the ground for a while, yelling a few times.Guobaier noticed that everyone had something stuffed in their mouths, some stuffed with rags, and some simply stuffed their mouths full of hay and dirt.

What a shame!

No matter how sophisticated Guo Yaoer is, he can't help but get angry.He strode forward recklessly, leaned over and yanked the rag out of one person's mouth, and asked repeatedly: "Don't worry, it's all right! Where's Lao Ji? Is he still alive?"

"Are you talking about Ji Junli? He's still alive, and you can see him when you turn the corner." A voice beside him said softly.

Guo Yaoer was in a hurry, got up hurriedly and went back.After walking two steps, I heard my two servants exclaiming in unison: "Everyone! Be careful!"

Only then did Guo Yaoer realize it, he stepped back half a step abruptly, and put his hand on the waist knife.

"Who?" he snapped.

Only then did he realize that the person who had just spoken was sitting next to a group of captives.This man was wearing a gray-white military robe with a collar, with long knives and iron bones hanging from the left and right sides of his waist.

Because the collared military robe is a common color in the Jin army, several of the captives wore it like this.So this man sat safely, under the shadow of night, Guo Yaoer didn't pay attention.

Seeing Guo Yaoer's alert posture, the man chuckled twice, got up and walked under the firelight.

It turned out to be a tall young man with a rather tired face, deep eye sockets, sharp but unassuming eyes.The young man cupped his hands and saluted, speaking with a border accent in Monan: "He is here under the command of Yang Dutong, General Guobaier?"

"I'm Guobaier."

"It's been a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you." The young man nodded slightly, "I'm Guo Ning from Changzhou. I take the liberty to come down here, because I want to negotiate a condition."

Guo Yaoer took another half step cautiously: "Changzhou Guo Ning? You are Guo Liulang from Changzhou Wushabao!"

　Note 1: "Wu Jing Zongyao" states that the arrow has a point of steel, wooden feathers, Fengwu, wooden head, and three stops.Those with wooden feathers use wood as the arrow feathers.At the beginning of Xianping, the stone of the military academy was returned to Song Shangzhi.When the arrow hits the person, although the rod is removed, the arrowhead stays, and it cannot be pulled out. The Rong people fear it the most.It is true that the arrows of the Jin people mostly use willow wood, but willow wood is easier to break than bamboo poles.

Note 2: "History of Gold" states that those who co-signed are also pro-military.The pro-army of the emperor or general of the Kingdom of Jin can be called Hezha Meng'an, or Hezha Mouk.
