Chapter 393 Life and Death

The assignment of major events has been decided, but the specific implementation plan cannot be born overnight.

Under the general framework, the civil and military ministers had heated discussions again, and they didn't leave until dusk to get busy with the urgent affairs at hand.The commander-in-chief sent people to inform the civil and military at all levels, and the meeting will continue tomorrow.

That night, almost everyone in Laizhou City knew that there was a big change in the Red Coat Army, and Guo Jieshuai was about to officially take up the post of Shandong Xuanfu envoy, and determined that the next step would be to follow Shandong's major policies.

So until late at night, all the government offices and military camps were still brightly lit.

Guo Ning vaguely heard that there were quite a few soldiers telling stories about the fight between Han Xuan and Li Ting in Liaodong. At the moment, everyone was excited and shouting at each other, eager for a battle.

He looked a little farther away, and even the Lifang where many ordinary soldiers and civilians lived were lit up, and there were crowds of people on the road, people who were rushing home before the curfew were talking and guessing the content of tomorrow's meeting.

Outside the high walls of Guo Ning's commander-in-chief's mansion, there is the common people's Lifang, and there is no particularly empty partition.So he even heard some people discussing on the side of the commander's mansion.

Someone said with emotion: "Marshal Yang An'er is also a hero of our Shandong. When he raised his troops, his momentum was a hundred times stronger than that of our Marshal Jie. But he never thought that he would be defeated so soon? It must be a trick by the court!"

Among the several people who walked with him, none of them felt that there was anything inappropriate about the "imperial court tricks". While walking, someone responded:
"So what if the momentum is huge? Didn't you listen to the drama? When Yang An'er was in Hebei, he was defeated by Hu Shahu's men. He relied on our Jieshuai to lead the army to save his life! The Mongols killed Shandong that day. Where is this Yang An'er? For us The common people came forward and defeated the Mongols, it was not our Jieshuai? Yang Aner trembled when the Mongols left, what kind of momentum is he talking about? This is inevitable..."

Someone from the side interjected: "Soldiers care about quality, not numbers. Our navy pays attention to elite soldiers and fierce generals. With one enemy against a hundred, in terms of momentum, it is naturally not as good as the Red Coat Army. It is much stronger in fighting! This time we We defeated the Mongols again in Liaodong, and the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy of the imperial court knelt down to thank us and begged to give us Gaizhou and Fuzhou!"

The previous man was unconvinced: "When the Mongols came, Marshal Yang was still at Moqi Mountain in Juzhou. Even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't reach the Mongols. On the contrary, Marshal Liu Erzu and Marshal Peng Yibin guarded Mount Tai. Scaring the Mongols so that they dare not attack, that is the way of Shandong heroes!"

The other person suddenly raised his voice: "Aren't you talking nonsense... Is it better to hold on to the mountains with danger than to fight in the plains? Although Ding Haijun came from Hebei, it is powerful! The Mongol captives in the Dinghai Navy were exchanged, feel your conscience, what’s the matter to be honest?”

The man who interjected hurriedly smoothed things over: "Not all of the Dinghai people are from Hebei. Do you think Guo Jiedu's Tie Guduo is good? The one who taught him Tie Guduo's skills was all commander Qiu Huiluo He is from Shandong, right? For example, Yan Ning, Gao Xin, Zhang Rong, Yan Shi, etc., aren’t they all from Shandong?”

"So Shandong is still a place where good men come out. The Red Coat Army shouldn't have trouble so easily...Marshal Yang An'er must have been framed by someone."

"It's a taboo for you to say that. The navy will send troops to sweep Shandong. Are you still standing on the side of the red coat army?"

"Hey, the Red Coat Army is also a soldier of the younger generation. Are you happy to see their blood flow like a river?"

"How could there be blood flowing like a river, I'm afraid you are not stupid!"

"Why am I so stupid?"

One of them lowered his voice: "This sister of Marshal Yang of the Red Coat Army, who is known as the fourth lady, knows our Marshal Jie. Do you know that Yang An'er promised to get married that day! Speaking of which, our Marshal Jie and the Red Coat Army It's the one who goes all the way..."

"Fourth Lady? Is it the one who is Lihua Qiang Wushuang Wudang?"

Three or five people walked over noisily, their voices getting lower and lower, but they obviously got off topic.Moreover, the direction of running was very problematic. It was obviously following the vulgar taste of the market and started to develop in the direction of Guo Ning's privacy.

Guo Ning stood on the watchtower in a daze, and subconsciously touched his waist, wanting to smash down with the golden knife he carried with him.Holding the handle of the knife in his hand, he held back again, deliberately ignoring the guards around him who were suppressing their smiles, and stepped down the ladder instead.

No matter how nonsense the people talk, at least they are very satisfied with the development of the Ding Navy, and they are also proud of the expansion of the Ding Navy.

That's fine.

In this era, wars will only become more frequent, and the minds of the people are subtle and changeable, but also very simple.

When their life is hard, they just think about recuperating, planting a piece of land, eating a few mouthfuls of food, and living a good life at home.Guo Ning gave an order to accumulate food widely and build walls high, so everyone was happy.

It didn't take long for the people's life to be more comfortable, and the propaganda of the Ding Navy was also in place, and they were easily incited to follow the direction of the banner above, inspiring for the expansion of territory or other goals.

Just like before, Guo Ning's expansion in Liaodong is also like Guo Ning's development to Shandong not long after.

Guo Ning will try his best to let more people benefit from the expansion, and put more people on the rumbling chariot of the Ding Navy.In this way, the best way to calm people's hearts is victory itself.

When Guo Ning came down from the watchtower, he realized that the twilight was deep under the high wall.

The Jieshuai Mansion occupies a large area, but in order to show simplicity to the soldiers and civilians, there are not many lights in the corridors.

From the outer wall to the inner courtyard where Guo Ning and Lu Han lived, there is a garden.Guo Ning held a pine torch by himself and walked across the gravel road in the garden.

Just arrived at the other end of the garden, but saw Lu Han came around from the corridor with two maidservants.Lu Han was out of breath from walking, and he was a little angry: "What are you looking at in the watchtower? I sent someone to call you to eat, but I couldn't hear you. I came to look for you, but you came down first."

"Oh, maybe I was distracted, I really didn't pay attention." Guo Ning laughed and said, "What's for dinner?"

"The freshly fried ring cakes, and yellow chicken porridge!"

"That's good, I'm starving, let's go, let's go!" Guo Ning walked ahead.

After walking a few steps, Lu Han asked from behind: "Is the fourth lady, Yang Miaozhen, really beautiful? Is there anything to say about your marriage?"

"Haha, haha!" Seeing sweat on his forehead, Guo Ning laughed loudly on his back, his thoughts turned.

Guo Ning is very self-restraining in life, but after all, he is in his early twenties, and when it comes to matters between men and women, he is occasionally vigorous.When dealing with Yang An'er twice before, he found Yang Miao really attractive, so he couldn't hide it from others.

And Lu Han is Guo Ning's regular wife. When they were in Changzhou, the two have shared joys and sorrows and depended on each other since they were young.The senior officers and soldiers in the army all looked at each other as mistresses.

Because of this reason, no one wanted to die earlier, but insisted on chewing their tongues in front of Lu Han.At this moment, maybe it was Lu Han who came to Wanglou to find his husband, but he heard the rumors from outside?
Hey, this kind of thing is troublesome to explain.

Fortunately, Guo Ning was very decisive, and immediately replied: "Not as beautiful as you! No more!"

Saying so, he bumped lightly against the wall with his arm holding the pine torch, and then let out a cry of "Ouch".

Hearing his yelling, Lu Han immediately forgot his own question. He quickly grabbed Guo Ning's shoulder and stretched his neck to look around: "What's the matter? Are you pulling the wound again? But it hurts so much?"

When Guo Ning was fighting in Liaodong, he suffered several serious injuries. He had not fully recovered until he returned to Laizhou.

Seeing her husband go through life and death, and return with injuries, Lu Han naturally felt very distressed.In the past few days, she personally changed Guo Ning's medicine every morning and evening. This is her family's education, and she may be more reliable than the medical officer who can only prescribe strong medicine.

These days, the standard of living in Jieshuai's mansion has improved a lot, Lu Han's figure has become a bit plump, and his eyebrows have become thinner and his nose is straighter.

Because of the hot weather, she wore a straight-collared tunic embroidered with jade tinsel. The shirt was very light and thin. When Guo Ning got close, he could smell the faint fragrance from the depths of his neck.

Guo Ning's brain became hot, and with force in his hands, he picked her up across his waist and put her on his shoulders.

Lu Han was taken aback.She kicked Guo Ning, fearing that the kick would hurt her husband, so she leaned on her body and whispered, "I'm pressing your wound!"

　Ring cakes are oil sprinkles.Yellow chicken porridge is really delicious and nourishes the kidneys.
