Chapter 570 Dead End

The core circle of the Dinghai Navy is a group of defeated soldiers with Guo Ning as the core.Almost all of Chen Ran and other cronies were rescued by Guo Ning, and followed Guo Ning to fight their way out in a situation that was almost certain to die.Therefore, Guo Ning's confidence in Chen Ran has always been extremely strong.

This kind of confidence far outweighed the fear and vigilance brought to him by the burning and massacre of the Mongolian army.

However, the news that the main force of the Ding Navy has withdrawn from Liangxiang still has to be kept from ordinary soldiers.After all, the vast majority of people do not have such confidence. The more experienced warriors are, the more impressed they are with the invincible achievements of the Mongolian army and even the heads rolling under their iron hooves, so they are more likely to be shaken.

For example, in Zhongdu City, Miao Daorun, who once witnessed the sudden rush of the Mongolian army with Du Shisheng, sighed at this moment.

"Guo Ning is asking for his own death! I have said long ago that the main target of the Mongols must be the Hebei Meng'an Mouke Army who scattered Anzhen, not Guo Ning's team disguised as a baggage! If he catches the servant When San Anzhen is attacked, retreat in time, when there is a chance to escape, it is better than now, being stared at by the big Khan of the Tartars!"

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Rou only coughed a few times, signaling Miao Daorun not to speak too loudly, so that the pedestrians on the street could hear him.

The battle of Liangxiang was defeated, and a large amount of food, fodder and supplies that should have been transported to Zhongdu became empty. This should have been a secret known only to the generals of the army.However, the central capital of the Great Jin Kingdom is riddled with holes no matter from which angle it is judged, so all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and now it can no longer be concealed from people.

The two of them and their entourage rode fast, bypassing the refugees gathered around the Minzhong Temple.These people who escaped from the front of the Mongols seemed to have a special sense of danger. Zhang Rou could clearly feel that many of them had panic, confusion, and despair on their faces.If Daxing Mansion doesn't send people to appease them quickly, the refugees may get out of control and riot is imminent.

Seeing that it was not far from Kanglefang, Miao Daorun lowered his voice and continued the original topic: "Guo Ning will suffer a loss this time, and maybe his life is in danger. Jing'an people who stay in Shandong will have a chance. When you go to see Du Shisheng, you might as well explain it clearly, Lao Du is a smart person and can understand what we mean!"

Zhang Rou still didn't answer.

According to Miao Daorun's view on the fight the day before yesterday, Guo Ning had to treat the Hebei army as an abandoned son, and the Hebei army had to be tough enough to entangle the Mongols to death.

But that's simply not possible.

That fight took place dozens of miles outside the city of Zhongdu.Although the defenders in the city did not dare to venture out of the city, it was still possible to inquire about the results of the victory and defeat through various channels after three days.

What Zhang Rou heard about the battle situation was completely different from what Miao Daorun said, and several versions of the battle situation had one thing in common.That is, the main force of the Mongolian army is always facing the Ding navy, but the Hebei army will collapse at the first touch, and it is not a single enemy of the Mongolians at all.

In this way, what else can the Ding Navy do besides retreat?
I heard that Guo Ning brought a total of 5000 people to the vicinity of Zhongdu this time, and the Meng'an Mouk Army in Hebei was only more than 2.Once the Hebei army was defeated, could Guo Ning use one-to-one troops against Genghis Khan's troops in the field?
Zhang Rou was not born in the army, but she has seen a lot of life and death and wars, and knows what is cruel in the world.Compared with the blood and fire brought by the Mongols, although the strength of the Ding Navy expanded rapidly, it was still a small scene after all.Even if their performance far surpassed that of the Dajin Kingdom's army, Zhang Rou couldn't imagine Guo Ning's chance against Genghis Khan himself.

On this point, Miao Daorun was right.

So, at this moment, Miao Daorun was planning to re-establish contact with Jing'anmin and use the remaining strength of the Ding Navy to provide foreign aid for himself, while worrying about Guo Ning's safety.He is also a kind person.

However, Zhang Rou thought of more.

As soon as the Ding navy retreated, the Mongolian army chased after them.Regardless of the outcome of the battle between their two armies, the Mongols would turn around sooner or later and launch a fierce attack on Zhongdu.

When the Mongols attacked Zhongdu last time, these savages hadn't mastered the knack of attacking the city, so they had a huge momentum. In fact, they couldn't shake the Jincheng Tangchi in Zhongdu.This time, the Mongolian army took over 10,000+ troops from Beijing Road, and they were already prepared!
Those surrendered soldiers are being attracted by Dinghai's partial division along the Lushui line, but if Dinghailing's headquarters loses, or even Guo Ning himself dies, that partial division has no possibility of continuing to be a nail in Zhigu Village.In other words, as long as Guo Ning loses, the 10,000+ people around Zhigu Village will immediately be freed from the surrounding areas of Zhigu Village and become the main force for attacking the city.

These 10,000+ people are all imperial court officers and soldiers, and they may not be able to do anything else. Those who know how to use and manufacture siege equipment such as ladders, rams, and catapults can always find a batch.Moreover, Zhang Rou knew very well that with the ferocious methods of the Mongols, when these descendants attacked the city, they would inevitably fight with their lives.

How is this good?

Can Gao Qi, the Shuhu who is in charge of guarding the central capital, withstand it?

Can the tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Zhongdu be able to withstand it?

Shuhu Gaoqi, when he was the general in Jinshan earlier, he was quite popular with soldiers, and he was a bit capable.But in the last coup d'état in the central capital, this person entered the city at the end and obtained huge benefits without any effort, and has been obsessed with fighting for interests in the court since then.

After the emperor came to the throne, he once promoted several veteran generals, but now, these people are either outsiders, or they have been overwhelmed by Shuhu Gaoqi.

Recently, taking advantage of the situation in Central Capital, Shuhu Gao Qi once again seized power.For example, Pingzhang Zhengshi and Marshal Yan Chenghui, who had been regarded as a confidant by the emperor a while ago, was sent to Tongzhou.It is said that in order to raise the necessary food and fodder, he had to do several population deals with Ding Haijun.

Can Shuhu Gao Qi turn his mind back to the battlefield?
Zhang Rou shook her head again and again.

If this guy really put his heart and soul into the war, how could he just sit back and watch the Jinkou camp change hands?And how could it happen that reinforcements from Hebei and Shandong arrived, but the defenders dared not go out of the city to respond?
At this time, Miao Daorun was still worried about Guo Ning's fate, which was ridiculous.Those of us who live in the city of sorrow are in great trouble.

The key at this moment is not how to develop in Zhongdu at all; it is to save your life, to leave Zhongdu as soon as possible, and what to do after leaving Zhongdu!
The reason why Zhang Rou followed Miao Daorun to visit Du Shisheng was because he believed that Du Shisheng, an old fox who had been in the capital city for 20 years, must have a way to escape from death.And after our side fled with Du Shisheng, we would definitely not be able to go to Yizhou and Dingzhou again. We had to go south to Shandong to join our old friend Jing Anmin, so that we could make a comeback!

That's the key!
At this moment, if you don't rush to stay in the central capital and plan your own career in the future, it will be a dead end!
The two chatted one after another, and soon arrived at Kanglefang, and asked Xiong to knock on the door to see him.

Du Shisheng went out quickly and welcomed the group into the courtyard politely.

Miao Daorun has never changed his true nature as a tycoon in the world, and now he is even more impolite, and said before entering the hall: "Old Du, your Guo Xuanshi, it is not easy to get past this level!"

Zhang Rou, who was half a step behind Miao Daorun, suddenly stopped and stared into the living room.

The light in the living room is dimmer than the outside world, so standing in the yard without looking carefully, you can't see clearly what's in the living room.But it is also for this reason that if there is a little light in the living room, it is very conspicuous.

At this moment in the living room, there was a bald man with a shiny head, which caught Zhang Rou's attention.

A fat monk stretched out his big palm-like hand to touch his scalp, and smiled into Zhang Rou's eyes.

Yongqing County.

The soldiers of the Ding Navy retreated from Liangxiang all the way, and they were on high alert along the way, ready to fight at any time. By this time, they were inevitably exhausted.Guo Ning looked back and forth, and saw that the line of sight was a bit loose, and the flags were crooked.

It's not a formal military parade, so there's nothing to be demanding about it. Guo Ning quickly turned to Fang Fang.

"Jin Qing, the army went south for another [-] miles, and there was a big river running across it. It was the delta lake formed by the confluence of Lugou River, Yishui River and Juma River. After crossing the delta lake, you will arrive at Yijin Pass in Bazhou. "

Yichai Chucai bowed slightly: "Bazhou is the natural moat that Hou Zhou and Song State relied on to fight against Khitan. Wu. I heard Mr. Jinzhi say that Emperor Shizong of the Zhou Dynasty took this place from the Khitan people. The original site of the city was actually in Yongqing County, and it was later moved to the south of Sanjiaodian, where it is located in the same place as Yijin Pass.”

"Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty? Is it Chai Rong?"

"Exactly. In a time of decline and chaos, Emperor Sejong's mighty voice shocked Yixia in just five or six years, and he was worthy of being the hero of the world. Now the envoy intends to defeat powerful enemies in Bazhou, and his courage is not inferior."

Guo Ning laughed twice: "Jin Qing, if I hadn't studied hard for the past two years, I would hardly have heard your flattery."

He flicked the reins lightly, urged the green horse to come out of the queue, and looked around his subordinates:

"We marched in a hurry for three days, and all the men and horses were exhausted, and the ranks had gradually loosened up; because they were being pursued and harassed, the soldiers were depressed and anxious, so that the flags were in disarray. The Mongols followed us for three days, and they must have seen this situation clearly Li. If we are the prey, now is the best time for hunters to act... yes, it is now, they are coming soon!"
