Chapter 527 Decoy

The Jurchen nobles of the Dajin Kingdom have never lacked selfishness.Servant Anzhen himself climbed to such a high position step by step after being involved in the political struggle between the emperor of the Zhangzong Dynasty and the Zongwang, and suffered a serious setback in his career. He was the same as most of the Jurchen dignitaries in the court. In the harsh environment, it will not let its own interests be slightly damaged.

However, Pu San Anzhen is really loyal to Da Jin, and he really wants to do his best to save the declining Da Jin and maintain the Jurchen's increasingly shaky rule in the Central Plains.

So he gave up fighting for military and political power with Shuhu Gaoqi and his like in Zhongdu early on, and instead sought to go abroad in an attempt to integrate local military and political power and maintain a base with sufficient strength in the rotten Dajin territory.

Hebei is his best choice.At the beginning, Pu San Anzhen thought that as long as he controlled this base area, then he would influence the court in the north and annex the affluent Shandong in the south, and he would become the most powerful faction in the Dajin Kingdom.Afterwards, as long as the emperor and King Sui deal with each other for profit, they will naturally continue to accumulate strength. When they have three thousand miles of mountains and rivers and one hundred thousand soldiers in their hands, no matter how fierce the Mongols are, Pu San Anzhen will always have a way to deal with them.

At that time, Jin can be the pillar and support of the imperial court, establish achievements like Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and retreat without losing the wealth of a feudal town. Maybe there is still a chance to become a great stone in Yelu.

However, since he became the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy, the local difficulties have been ten times, a hundred times more than what Pu San Anzhen imagined!
For so many days and nights, he was exhausted, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.I don't know how many soft and hard methods were used, and after untold hardships, Hebei was finally stabilized.But King Sui in the south has already managed the whole Henan like an iron bucket, and in the Shandong direction, in just one year, another Ding Navy has come to the fore, and its momentum is simply unstoppable.

Such a situation, coupled with the fact that the Mongols went south again and again to attack, it is not an exaggeration to say that the situation is overwhelming.Servant Anzhen is familiar with the history of the Han family, and knows how dangerous it is, and all the chaos in the central capital are like the end-time situations recorded in the history books.

This can be said to be a continuous blow to Pu San Anzhen.Although he always put on an air of confidence in front of people, in fact, he was unavoidably shaken and frustrated in secret.

Seeing that her family's dream of revitalizing Dajin is becoming more and more difficult to realize, Pu San Anzhen never imagined that at the critical moment when the Mongolian army besieged Zhongdu, Guo Ning, a rebel, would choose to fully support the court?

When Pu San Anzhen led his troops to station at Yijin Pass in Bazhou in an attempt to prevent the Mongolian army from going south, Guo Ning first set off a fierce battle in Liaodong, and then sent elite troops to Lushui by sea to protect the security of Zhongdu. Material supply.

Yijin Pass is not far from Zhigu Village, and the two places are only separated by Wozikou Army Village, which was occupied by troops led by You Xingge from Bohai.Therefore, the repeated battles between the Ding Navy and the Mongolian Army along the Lushui River broke out under the eyes of Pu San Anzhen.

When the imperial court was in crisis, the one who was really shedding blood and sweat was actually an obvious traitor?
This situation is very absurd.

But servant San Anzhen witnessed such a situation, thinking of her status as a family member of the country for generations, she felt more and more on pins and needles.

Just as he was hesitating, another news came: An important figure in the Ding Navy, Yira Chucai, brought three or five followers to Yijin Pass to ask for an audience.

When Pu San Anzhen was in Zhongdu in the early years, he got very close to Tu Danyi, and Yila Chucai was a rising star whom Tu Shanyi was optimistic about, and was regarded by Tudan Yi as his junior.Therefore, these two people not only recognize each other, but also have some friendship on the scene.It's just that Chucai went crazy two years ago, abandoned his family's great future in the central capital court, and turned to Guo Ning, a rebel, and Pu San Anzhen had nothing to do with him.

However, Chucai, who is under Guo Ning's command, worships Xuan Fu as a magistrate. He is the general manager of the government affairs of dozens of military states in Shandong and Liaodong. Guo Ning relies on him as his right-hand man. Servant Anzhen knew it clearly.

So Chucai suddenly asked to see him, which surprised Pu San Anzhen.He hurried out to meet the enemy and found out that the Ding Navy not only fought against the Mongolian army in Lushui, but also allocated an extremely large amount of supplies from Shandong, formed a militia team, and prepared to send them to Zhongdu by land from Hebei!

How can the Ding Navy achieve this level?

Who are they?It's a traitor who only needs to show off his chariots and horses!But when the Mongolian army went south, the rebels could still do this... What about a self-proclaimed loyal minister like Pu San Anzhen?This is simply shameful!

According to Yila Chucai, Du Shisheng, another procurator of the Ding Navy, had already contacted powerful generals in Zhongdu to go out of the city to meet him, so the huge team of food and supplies of the Ding Navy had already set off.What they asked Pu San Anzhen to do was to try their best to ensure the safety of the short distance north of Yijinguan, and try their best to protect the food and materials as close to the central capital.

When they arrived around Zhongdu, there would naturally be Zhongdu soldiers and horses to support them. Pu San Anzhen just retreated and never had to spend any more time.

To this, servant San Anzhen did not agree immediately.

This request is for San Anzhen to take a big risk.The last time the Mongolian army went south to invade the invaders, apart from the defenders of the border trenches in the north, the most deadly casualties were soldiers and horses trying to go to King Qin of Zhongdu. Pu San Anzhen remembered that, so among the veteran generals who died in battle directly, there were Wugusun Wutun and more than ten people.

If Pu San Anzhen left Yijin Pass, which her family had been running for a long time, and sent troops northward, how would she know if she would be attacked by the Mongolian army and end up like those hard-working kings?

This is not the only thing that makes servant San Anzhen doubtful.

The loss he suffered at Guo Ning's hands half a year ago was really too painful, how could this not make him extremely fearful?He really didn't know, if he had to deal with this cunning thief again, he didn't know what he would suffer again!

So after the servant San Anzhen talked with Yira Chucai, he politely left Yira Chucai to hang around in Yijin Pass, and actually took him hostage, and then sent two groups of capable people to investigate separately.

Flying all the way to Shandong, they monitored the Dinghai militia team gathered in Dizhou.

This passer-by soon reported that the Dinghai Navy had the full authority of Jing'an Min to allocate supplies, food and grass in the territory, and recruited tens of thousands of civilians, thousands of large livestock, and three to five thousand heavy vehicles to meet the needs of Zhongdu.The scale of this militia team is huge, and it is by no means fake.

The detectives sent by servant Anzhen were very capable, and they secretly arrested a few servants and tortured them for the inside information of Shandong.After inquiring, I found out that after Guo Ning sent orders to various places to raise grain and fodder, the process of corresponding allocation and transshipment caused some disturbances in Shandong.

Because Shandong has been fighting for years, even with maritime trade channels as a supplement, the family background is actually not strong.In the eyes of the officials of the Ding Navy, there has never been an imperial court, and the military government forcibly allocated a large amount of supplies to supply the Central Capital, which immediately made military and government officials in many places feel dissatisfied.

What's more, the food needed in the capital has never been a small amount.In the past, there was sea transportation, and it was not difficult for a ship to carry a thousand shi of grain and fodder, and it was not difficult for a hundred ships to travel a hundred thousand shi.But now there is a lot of fighting at Zhigu Village, and when the grain ships arrive there, it is impossible to go north, so they can only go by land.

If you go by land, you have to recruit a large number of peasants and animal power. How should these peasants pay for the rewards, money and rations they need on the road?
If it is deducted from the grain and fodder transported, people along the way eat horse chews, and when they arrive in Zhongdu, it is unknown how much of this batch of grain and fodder will be left.If such a large amount is collected from the local government, it will really conform to what the Art of War says. The expenses of the common people are seven out of ten;
That is to say, Jing Anmin has deep seniority, great reputation, and ability in handling things in the army. If it is someone else, who lacks prestige or is not capable enough, I am afraid that at this time, he is still busy with the constant commotion in various places, and he simply cannot afford to gather such a grain of food. The baggage train is coming.

After the news of this route was confirmed, people who inquired about the battle situation along Zhigu Village and Lushui also returned one after another.

They all said that the Mongolian army, with no less than [-] to [-] troops, was sealing off the line from Lushui to the surrounding area of ​​Zhigu Village, and the fight with Ding Haijun never stopped.During this period of time, the main focus of the battle was Zhigu Village. The Ding Navy continued to increase troops to Zhigu Village, and the Mongols also mobilized elite subordinate troops from Beijing Road, including the famous Black Army, as well as Bohai People and Khitans also participated in the war.

There was a team of scouts who were extraordinarily daring, traveling all the way overnight, bypassing the strongholds controlled by the Mongols such as Anci and Wuqing, and arriving at Huyin County on the north bank of the Lushui River. Large fortress for this build.

They also grabbed their tongues and tortured them. From this, we can see that the Ding Navy and the Mongolian Army fought repeatedly along the Lushui River, as many as several times in ten months, and this fortress outside Huyin County alone changed hands four times. , This made the Mongolian nobles so ruthless that they had to be completely razed to nothing.

At this time, Pu San Anzhen finally dispelled his doubts, and his loyalty to the court and his expectation of making great achievements regained the upper hand.

A good man who grew up in the white mountains and black waters, and lives in such a world, can he really be overwhelmed by a man like Guo Ning in terms of responsibility and courage?Guo Ning dared to repeatedly strangle with the Mongols to such an extent. Could it be that my servant, San Anzhen, even sent troops to be a short-distance guard, and had to look forward and backward?
Five days ago, the luggage team organized by the Dinghai Navy passed through Cangzhou and Qingzhou and arrived at Yijin Pass. Pu San Anzhen finally made up his mind, and immediately mobilized more than [-] elite Meng'an Mouke troops to lead the luggage team. In one breath, he reached Liangxiang County to the west of Daxing Mansion.

For Pu San Anzhen, this was considered a military adventure. Being able to arrive here safely showed her loyalty to the imperial court, and her wish was enough.Next, it was time for the soldiers and horses of Zhongdu to go out of the city to pick up the baggage, and our own army was able to revive the brigade safely.

Yicha Chucai insisted on saying something about entering Zhongdu together, which was somewhat provocative, even if it was an old friend's words, it was too harsh.
