Chapter 337

As soon as this sentence came out, the case was shocked.

In Zhang Qian's village, the houses are all made of logs, thick and strong, but the main hall is often used by Li Yun to meet with the leaders of the Wild Jurchen. In order to show civilization, the furnishings are more delicate.For example, this case is a tall and long case made of high-quality wood, with carved patterns on the four legs.

Just now, Guo Ning and Li Ting spoke one sentence after another, speaking nervously, each subconsciously slapped the desk.Both of them had strong hands, and they made a loud noise on the table. Zhang Qian was afraid that the case would collapse, so he raised his hand to support it.

But when he heard Li Ting's assertion that the Mongols must intervene, his arm trembled, and even the case table shook.

The situation in Liaodong with and without the presence of Mongols is completely different.

Without the intervention of the Mongols, all the officials in Liaodong were actually warlords who had escaped from the control of the imperial court and relied on their own prestige and force. To some extent, they were similar to Guo Ning.

Guo Ning sent people to and from the Northeast under the banner of the Qun Musuo, making it clear that the chariots and horses seek economic benefits and exchange needs, which is also what the military and political groups in Liaodong need.But in Liaodong, there are at least five or six factions that can provide horses, furs and other materials for Dinghai; on the contrary, the only one that can deliver food and medicine to Liaodong is Dinghai.

Therefore, Li Yun travels around without any scruples.Whoever he chooses to cooperate with is his blessing; if anyone offends Ding Haijun, Li Yun will slap his ass and leave, and it will not be difficult to change one or more partners.

Puxian Wannu from Xianping Prefecture is also a potential partner of Li Yun.Guo Ning had spent a lot of money before, and got the position of prosecuting and controlling the herd, wasn't it just under the banner of doing business with Liaodong Xuanfu envoy?
Heshi Liehuanduan claimed that Pu Xianwan slaves acted recklessly, fearing that they would be disobedient, but what is this to Ding Haijun?The civil and military personnel of the Dinghai Navy wake up every morning and look in the mirror, and they can see a traitor who has a heart of disobedience to the Dajin court!
From the perspective of Puxian Wannu, if he can be the Xuanfu envoy of Liaodong, he is definitely not a reckless man, let alone a robber who seeks money and kills him.He cut off Li Yun and his party, probably for business.

So after Li Yun's accident, Zhang Qian's response could not be more than straightforward.He was indeed not that anxious, let alone worried about the safety of Li Yun and his party.Zhang Qian even felt that the more fiercely Puxian Wannu and Yeluliu fought, the greater the demand for external material input. Maybe this was an opportunity for him to make a big deal and make a lot of money.

But if the Mongolian army intervenes...

This is completely different!

Everyone in Dinghai understands that the Mongolian army is a great enemy, even a mortal enemy; and the Mongolian army must also deeply hate Dinghai for causing them huge losses in Shandong.If the Mongolian army intervenes in the situation in Liaodong, Li Yun and his party will be in danger. If they fall into the hands of the Mongolians, they will die in all likelihood!
In that case, Zhang Qian sent Qingqi to investigate first instead of mobilizing the rescue immediately, which may be one of the causes of death of Li Yun and his party!

What's more troublesome is that if the Mongolian army reaches out, the entire Liaodong will inevitably fall into a huge whirlpool of chaos.Then, Ding Haijun's expectations for the Liaodong trade route will inevitably come to nothing, and his own operations in Liaodong in the past few months will be in vain.

Zhang Qian arrived in Liaodong with [-] elite soldiers, full of lofty ambitions to make contributions in order to repay the integrity, but this is the result?In the present situation, if Guo Ning and Li Ting hadn't just come here and judged the key point with their superior sense of smell, Zhang Qian might still be leisurely, sitting and watching the situation deteriorate without knowing it!

Suffering is also suffering, I am too difficult!In an instant, seventeen or eighteen thoughts turned in Zhang Qian's mind, and three to five layers of sweat broke out on his forehead.

He shook his hands, looked at Guo Ning, then at Li Ting, and reluctantly said, "The Mongolian army just withdrew from the central government in March and April. They had fought for more than half a year before. They also need to rest, right? I am afraid that the power to invest in Liaodong is also very limited?"

Li Ting acted as if he didn't hear anything, and was still staring at the map.

Guo Ning lowered his voice: "The table is shaking, let go."

Zhang Qian responded repeatedly, and as soon as he let go, the table legs fell back to the ground with a "bang".

"The Mongols will definitely intervene." Guo Ning turned to Li Ting and said slowly, "Fortunately, we still have time."

“How come you see?”

"On the Liaodong side, the Mongols have always used the Khitans under Yeluliuge as minions, involving the forces of all parties. If Pu Xianwannu intends to surrender to Mongolia, as long as the leader joins forces with Yeluliuge, it will naturally form. A powerful force is enough to sweep Shangjing, Tokyo, Taizhou, Gaizhou and other places, including Liaodong in one go. But he did not do this, but first forged the military situation and lured all the Jin troops to rescue... I dare say that he fought The idea is to subdue the reinforcements from various ministries, enrich our own strength, and then use our own military strength to expand abroad."

Li Ting was overjoyed: "You mean, Puxian Wannu is a rebel who goes his own way, seeking to expand his own family, not the Mongols?"

He walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, then waved his hand: "That's right. However, he must have contacts with the Mongols! Think about it, Liulang, he is using the banner of dealing with Yeluliu to gather crowds. Could it be that Yeluu Brother Liu doesn’t feel threatened? Just watch? There must be a tacit understanding between Puxian Wannu and the Mongols, so he knows that the Khitans will not really raise troops, so he can deal with his old colleagues in a leisurely manner!”

Guo Ning smiled bitterly: "This is the so-called lust for profit, this guy is really stupid."

"Yes."

In the past few years, the Mongolian army has never been able to expand to Liaodong. On the one hand, it is because of insufficient investment; , there are several armies capable of fighting tough battles, and there are several loyal Meng'an Mouks distributed.

And once Puxian Wannu set off a rebellion, how much power would there be left after the various Jin armies fought each other?
Maybe give Puxian Wannu a year or two, and he can slowly unify Liaodong with his own means, but before that, Puxian Wannu himself and the Liaodong he controlled were just a piece of fat.As a piece of fat, what can he use to deal with the Mongolian army?
Guo Ning knows the habits of the Mongolians too well.They are like greedy wolves, with the meat in front of them, there is no reason not to eat it, and there is no possibility of hesitation!They will definitely rush to bite at the first time, and the one who bites is Puxian Wannu who thinks he has formed a tacit understanding with the Mongols!
"So, when will the Mongolian army make a move? When will Xianping Mansion become chaotic?" Guo Ning muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Both Guo Ning and Li Ting have experienced the collapse of the defense line of the boundary trenches, and they have risen in the massacre of tens of thousands to 10 people. The two people may have different personalities and visions. But in the battlefield Judging the situation, there is no doubt that they all have the most outstanding talents.

After all, Zhang Qian was promoted not long ago, and his vision and experience are not enough. He looked at the two talking to each other, obviously a little dazed.

Li Ting turned back and stared at the map. After a long while, he said, "Puxian Wannu pretended to beg for help everywhere. He wanted to seek reinforcements from Fuzhou, Taizhou and Shangjing Huining Mansion. Among them, Fuzhou is the closest. Taizhou has the best military force, and Huining Mansion has the strongest military force. But I heard that the soldiers and horses of Huining Mansion mainly come from the so-called two divisions and five divisions of Diela and Tanggu tribes. .So, they should be the slowest to arrive at Hampyeong."

Guo Ning has seen many of those Yi troops in Wushabao, so he wrenched his fingers: "Even if the second department and the five army have been notified at this moment, it will take at least five days for each family to gather their troops in detail, and then they will never meet again." From Ning Mansion to Xianping Mansion, the journey is about..."

Zhang Qian finally found a chance to speak out, and hurriedly said, "It takes eleven days for a normal march! Six days for an urgent march! Judge Li and I have calculated repeatedly, and there is no mistake!"

Guo Ning said in a deep voice: "Together, it will be ten days. Ten days later, Pu Xianwanu swallowed up the troops of Taizhou and Fuzhou, and was going to attack the Yi army in Shangjing. It seems that when he was at his strongest, he was also It’s when he has to press all ten fingers and take care of everything, when he is weakest. If I were the commander of the Mongolian army, if I invest a small amount of elite at this time, I can overturn the situation in Liaodong in one fell swoop.”

"You're right, that Puxian Wannu's ten fingers have to press everywhere, there must be loopholes!"

Li Ting nodded his head and said eagerly, "Ten days is enough. Taking advantage of the fire to loot and making troubles is my best skill. Didn't Zhang Qian prepare [-] elites? I will take people to Xianping Mansion right now. Save Ah Yun and the others first!"

"Ayun and others must be saved. However, saving people is not enough."

Li Ting's eyes widened, and he stroked his sleeves: "How do you say that?"

Guo Ning turned to Zhang Qian: "When will the military report you sent to Laizhou arrive?"

"Calculating the time, we can arrive today." Zhang Qian cautiously said, "Maybe, we have already arrived at Jieshuai's Mansion."

Zhang Qian was not negligent in this matter.

The military report he sent out five days ago arrived in Penglai with a specially selected fast boat, and then rode lightly on a fast horse and went straight to Laizhou Ye County.At this moment, it has been placed in the main hall of the military mansion.

Jinganmin, Luo Heshang, Wang Shixian and Yila Chucai watched it one after another and took their seats.Xu Yu coughed lightly and put it away.
