Chapter 419 Long absence

The problem with Dajin Kingdom is that there are too many unreliable people.

As long as the emperor in the court is reliable, he will not use the relatives and nobles near the bureau as eyes and ears to spy on the officials all day long.If it weren't for this, Pu San Anzhen wouldn't be unable to sit still in the position of commander of the military guards, and instead seek to go out.

As long as the local officials on the east and west roads of Hebei are reliable, they will not cause troubles and thieves from dozens of military states in the fertile fields. It will not be possible to restore normal social order and organize food production until a few months after the Mongolian soldiers retreat.

Even if Pu San Anzhen was in Jingzhou, the distribution center of grain and fodder supplies, what he saw was that the people were so hungry that they ate each other and killed each other.The reason why the more than 2 horses under his control had to go south to Shandong was because Hebei needed an army capable of fighting the Mongols, but the huge Hebei could no longer afford to support this army!

Not to mention Li Quanzhi's unreliable behavior.

That day, the imperial court favored Yang An'er and awarded him a high-ranking official. What happened?Looking at it now, this Li Quan is nothing more than another Yang An'er.To a certain extent, Li Quan and Guo Ning are both the same kind, but Guo Ning intervened early and put on a layer of official skin for himself.

This generation doesn't speak the truth at all, acts without rules, and only thinks about taking advantage of the chaos to grab their own interests.In their eyes, the imperial court and even the servant San Anzhen representing the imperial court is just a tool to realize their interests.

Pu San Anzhen has always seen clearly the schemes of such people.

Originally, when the imperial court was strong, the Jurchen's force was still there, and the only way to deal with this generation was to kill them.Kill all the people with ulterior motives, and the world will be peaceful.

But now, the Jurchen's core force, hundreds of thousands of troops, have been buried in Yehuling, Migukou and other places, and have become the food of the Mongols.Servant Anzhen also knew that the reassembled troops of her family could not be thrown away at will.

After all, Pu San Anzhen is different from an unscrupulous person like Guo Ning. He is a relative of Dajin, and he has too many things to weigh, and he is also constrained.

Up and down the Dajin Kingdom, there are a group of unreliable people, so that the country is divided into north and south, and the center is passively beaten.In this situation, if Pu San Anzhen wants to do anything, the first thing to worry about is not to cause turmoil in the court itself.He was always worried that the increasingly crumbling imperial court would be shaken down by his own actions.

That's why he subconsciously avoided direct military confrontation, and tried his best to design drives, make the best use of the situation, and find a way to make these bandits kill each other.

For Pu San Anzhen, who is used to seeing the intrigues of the rich and powerful in Central Capital, this is not difficult at all.

Running around with a few dead soldiers, he easily provoked the hostility between the headquarters of the Red Coat Army and Ding Haijun, and then promised Li Quan the territory of the three states of Denglai and the status of the Jiedu envoy, prompting Li Quan to fight with his own side. Join hands to enter Yidu City, and use exhaustion to stabilize the strength of the navy.

If all goes well, Pu San Anzhen only needs to use a thousand soldiers to act, and the army will be able to watch the fire from the other side, and sit and watch all parties in the Red Coat Army, including Li Quan's, become enemies with Guo Ning, killing blood.After all parties were exhausted, the Hebei army was dispatched safely to pick up the fruits of victory.

But Pu San Anzhen never imagined that the power of Ding Haijun would be so strong.The Red Coats were not enough to hinder them at all.

So, what to do next?
The Hebei army is not moving here, but the whole situation will not stop changing because of this.The main force of the Ding Navy led by Guo Ning took down the strongholds in Zizhou one by one after Yidu Mansion.They kept approaching day by day, when this army finally reached the south bank of Beiqing River, how should our side deal with it?

Are the two really bounded by Beiqing River?Don't talk about other things?

Then, to whom should the lives of Heshi Lie Yawu Pagoda and a thousand soldiers be claimed?
The death of Heshi Lie Yawu Tower really made servant San Anzhen extremely sad.This is a truly traumatic and painful loss, and it is impossible for him to swallow his anger no matter what.

But, do you really want to avenge Heshi Lie Yawu Pagoda and fight that Guo Ning?
"Xuanshi, is that in line with the intention of the imperial court, and is it worthwhile?" Someone beside him asked, "Besides, with the current situation, Guo Ning is not the only one who worries people?"

Only then did Pu San Anzhen realize that she was so absorbed in her thoughts that she muttered to herself.It was Wulin who answered the question.

Pu San Anzhen quickly put on a smile, stretched out her hand to hold Wulin Dayu's arm, and said affectionately: "Haha...why are you here, sir?"

Wu Lin replied that he had come here in a hurry, and his forehead was covered with sweat.He took half a step back and bowed to his servant Anzhen: "Master, from the situation of the battle in Yidu Mansion, I suddenly thought of a serious matter."

"please say."

"We have to watch out for Li Quan."

"Ok?"

"Li Quan is indeed a bandit who goes with the wind, but he has been able to establish a foothold in Shandong for many years and has assembled tens of thousands of troops. He is a hero and has his own means. Then Liu Qingfu also followed Li Quan for several years. The fame and status gained from fighting one after another. Then, I don’t understand why Liu Qingfu’s performance in Yidu Mansion is so sloppy? Is it true or not that this person surrendered so quickly?”

"You mean..."

"Missang, we promised Li Quan's Denglai three prefectures, but now there is no chance of realizing it. Zizhou, Yidu, Weizhou and other places under Li Quan's control have also been lost. Seeing the sites lost one by one, and his capital eroded, will he turn to cooperate with Guo Ning again in a fit of anger?"

Wu Lin replied in a low voice: "Is it possible that Li Quan is all in the Yidu Mansion, not defeated in the war, they are conscious, and they have made an alliance with Dinghai?"

Servant Anzhen gasped.

The battle situation in Yidu Mansion has been in full swing in the Dinghai Navy for a while, and Pu San Anzhen, through the reconnaissance of his own spies, has a good understanding of the situation.Almost everyone said that Pu San Anzhen's troops were quite fierce, while Li Quan's general Liu Qingfu almost gave up the city.

Previously, servant San Anzhen only felt that Li Quan was unreliable, thinking that this person was full of his own interests, and did not seriously serve the court.

But if Li Quan is not unreliable, but unreliable...

The insides of the two are completely different!
According to Wu Lin's guess, Pu San Anzhen could use the Red Coat Army for his own use, and so could Guo Ning.Originally, the cooperation between Li Quan and Pu San Anzhen was based entirely on interests, but now the two have no consensus on interests. How can Li Quan counterattack and become Guo Ning's tool?
In this way, is it too dangerous for the Hebei army to penetrate into Shandong?
possible!
Pu San Anzhen originally thought that she was a hunter, holding a wolf in her hand and facing another wolf.If Wulin's guess is true, wouldn't he become a hunter stared at by two wolves?
In that situation, is the hunter still the hunter?

Maybe, the original hunter turned into the prey?

This is really big trouble!

Pu San Anzhen held the long knife at his waist, paced back and forth on the long embankment that served as a barrier on the south side of the barracks, and thought over and over again.

In his line of sight, across the Beiqing River, there are gentle slopes called Tieling and Yinling. When the autumn is cold, the trees on the slopes gradually wither and turn yellow, adding a sense of chill.

Two teams of cavalry were galloping between Tieling and Beiqinghe, rushing back and forth like landslides and tsunamis.The weight of the people, horses, and armor caused the weeds and soil on the ground to rise up, and even the surface of the Beiqing River caused ripples.

After several times of impact on both sides, the knights and horses were covered with hot sweat. The general who led the team gave a loud order, and the soldiers behind him blew their horns, and the iron cavalry retreated.When they set foot on the Beiqing River floating bridge, they lined up in groups of two or three, and the queue was still neat.

These cavalry, like the soldiers under Heshi Lie Yawu Tower, belong to the core force of Pu San An Zhen.Pu San Anzhen gave them several times the military salary, gave them the best treatment and equipment, and the scenes of their continuous training every day are the confidence of Pu San Anzhen.

It's a pity that Pu San Anzhen can only have less than [-] such elite cavalry.The Mongolian army goes south at any time, sometimes when they need to fight to the death.The failure of Heshi Lie Yawu Pagoda's unit, if one of Pusan ​​Anzhen's arms were severed, the remaining arm should be carefully protected for now.

"Emissary, Emissary? What do you think?"

When Pu San Anzhen was meditating, Wu Lin seemed to have said a lot in his answers, but he didn't listen to anything.He didn't wake up until Wulin answered and asked repeatedly.

"Ah? How about what?"

"..."

Wu Lin replied and said in a low voice: "We and Guo Ning are both high officials of the imperial court and ministers of Dajin. It's a good thing that we didn't tear each other up. The envoy may write a letter and ask Guo Ning to have a face-to-face meeting." Let’s talk. Let’s open it up and say, take He Shilie’s life in exchange for Bozhou, Dezhou, Dizhou, Binzhou, and Jinan in Shandong. As long as Guo Ning agrees, we will let the past go.”
