Chapter 84

Guo Ning and others have now left Anzhou and are about to enter Suning County, an important town in the south of Anzhou.

The target of the army is a city called Pinglu Village in Suning County.

While the group was talking, the army was still marching.Right next to Yira Chucai, Guo Ning's team was striding forward, while the soldiers at the front and rear were writhing like long snakes, and the red military flag shone among them, shining like fire under the hot sun.

It was a force of about a thousand, apparently well-trained.The various departments of the march are well-organized and orderly. The soldiers hold their heads high and hold their spears and spears slanted on their shoulders. Looking at it, it looks like an undulating jungle.

This is a team that has experienced many hardships and dared to fight.Past experience has made each of them used to being the front. Not only are they not afraid of fighting, but they treat fighting and death as nothing.

Back then, there were hundreds of thousands of warriors living along the border trenches of the three states in the south of the desert.From the beginning of the founding of Dajin, they have been constantly confronting the enemies on the grassland.

Their enemies ranged from Zub, Mengwu, Baitar, Heitar to the present Great Mongol Kingdom.In the end they failed.These people are the last survivors.They have lost everything, even their fighting spirit and dignity.

But the recuperation and intensive training in the past few months have made them no longer groggy.Yicai Chucai could see that the vast majority of them were impatient for the upcoming fight.

The fight in front of him was driven by Yisha Chucai.

A few days ago, he received a secret letter from Prime Minister You's Mansion asking him to urge Guo Ning to go to Hejian Mansion.Their mission is to disguise themselves as bandits and attack a remote camp somewhere.

In the past few months, in order to keep Guo Ning's troops, Prime Minister Tudan released a lot of political resources to his political opponents in Zhongdu. He also invested in food, materials, armaments and even talents at the Feijunhe camp in Anzhou.

And this fight is the reward that Prime Minister Tu Dan must see.The cooperation between the two parties has reached the present, and Prime Minister Tu Dan is already struggling in the court, and it is time for Guo Ning to show up.After getting this return, Prime Minister Tu Dan will make subsequent investments.

Yira Chucai was convinced that Guo Ning's request was very ambitious, and he would not refuse Prime Minister Tu Shan's request on such a trivial matter.

Sure enough, the troops from the Feijunhe camp quickly dispatched, Guo Ning himself led the army, accompanied by many capable military academies.

But Yila Chucai also knew that with Guo Ning's unruly temperament, he would not do something in a daze, and he himself had enough foresight, so he was not someone who would be easily deceived.After Yicha Chucai conveyed Tu Danyi's intention, Guo Ning asked Du Shisheng to go to Cizhong without hesitation.

This old man is very familiar with Mi Xin, an official in Zhongdu City, and those city foxes and social mice who spread rumors all day long. Since he has been there, there is nothing in Zhongdu City that Guo Ning can hide from him.

Therefore, at this moment, Guo Ning's questioning about Yicai Chucai was not only to test the school, but also to test Yicai Chucai's sincerity.

Fortunately, Yisa Chucai didn't intend to deceive Guo Ning casually. Since Guo Ning asked about something, he might as well talk about it.

Yicha Chucai stroked his beard and sighed, "Mr. Guo Lang is familiar with the military affairs of the frontier, and he knows it well after thinking about it. When the autumn is high and the horses are fat, the Mongolian army will soon go south."

As soon as these words were uttered, the breathing of several people around him, and even the riders stagnated slightly.

Only Guo Ning chuckled twice: "What impact will the Mongolian army going south have on the court of the Central Capital? And what does it have to do with our action?"

"Let me tell you the truth, Guo Langjun. Over the years, the military, financial and material resources of the imperial court have been more and more inclined to war in northern Xinjiang. And to master such a huge amount of resource allocation, at the same time control the power in the court. Therefore, every Before the first war with the Mongols, fierce struggles in the court were inevitable, and this has become a tradition."

Yila Chucai recalled: "For example, in the third year of Da'an, the first to win the power was Pingzhang Zhengshi Duji Sizhong, Shenzhizhengshi Wanyan Chengyu, Shenzhizhengshi, Shangshu Youcheng Aotun Zhongxiao..."

"As a result, Yehuling was defeated, hundreds of thousands of teachers were lost, and the two chief ministers collapsed immediately."

"Exactly." Yi Shi Chucai stroked his beard again.

He was given preferential treatment in the Feijunhe camp, but the care in the military camp was not as meticulous as in Zhongdu City. His long beard was unavoidably messy and had to be combed all the time.

"Last year, I, Dajin, fought against Mongolia in Xijing. This time, the two veteran generals, Youcheng Prime Minister Pu Sanduan and Shangshu Youcheng Aotun Zhongxiao, tried to take the opportunity to seize power. In addition, because of last year's defeat caused The courtiers criticized fiercely, so this time, the representatives of the clan Wanyan Fuxing and others participated in the military affairs planning. The famous Confucian official Jia Xuan who had already retired was also reinstated by the imperial edict and served as a political adviser. At first glance, it can be said that civil and military forces work together, and a group of talents gather together."

Guo Ning just shook his head, because of the subsequent battle at Migukou, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Aotun Zhongxiao collapsed, and this group of people immediately fell apart and were all kicked out of the court.

Behind this group of people, it was the turn of the current Zuo Cheng Wanyan Gang and You Cheng Tu Shan Yi.

"Jin Qing means that there is a commotion in the hall again?"

Yicha Chucai glanced at Du Shisheng, who was smiling but not smiling, and replied: "That's natural, but the one who jumps the highest right now is neither Wanyan Zuocheng nor Tudan Youcheng. They are the two newly-appointed political advisers, Xu Ding, Minister of the Household Department, and Wang Weihan, Minister of the Criminal Department."

These two were old friends of Du Shisheng.Although Du Shisheng was disheartened early on, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Yila Chucai mentioning his former colleagues in such a tone: "These two are both powerless scholars. Yu military skills? They couldn't shake Wanyan Zuocheng's position."

Yicai Chucai shook his head again and again: "Mr. Jinzhi, why bully me? This kind of war that exhausts national power is not only worth participating in the command of the frontline army, but also the allocation of resources, food, ordnance, and manpower in the rear. One piece was originally in the hands of Tu Dan Youcheng."

Speaking of this, he bowed his hands to Guo Ning: "Tu Dan Youcheng is a veteran of the three dynasties. He has already made perfect plans for these matters. As long as he calmly manages them, there will be no mistakes. However, there are people who are ambitious and insist on Incidents arose in it. They even bypassed Tudan Youcheng and sent orders directly to the local government, which instead led to confusion in government affairs."

Guo Ning nodded slightly: "Then, Tudan Youcheng wanted us to go this trip just to prevent some local people from acting without authorization, right?"

"Yes." Yira Chucai nodded, and said seriously: "The Mongols will go south to fight at any time. In this situation, Tu Dan Youcheng has no time to slowly argue with other chief executives. We must stabilize the rear. , I can only make a bad move, and cut the mess with a sharp knife."

Du Shisheng sneered.

Yicha Chucai looked calm: "However, Mr. Guo Lang doesn't have to worry. As we agreed before, you only need to take down the Pinglu stronghold in front. You can leave with one blow, and you don't need to do more damage... What follows , Tu Dan Youcheng has already made arrangements."

Guo Ning smiled: "It's a trivial matter."

In fact, the dispatch of thousands of people marching is not a trivial matter.In this world, there is no impenetrable wall.After all, this request by Tu Shanyi is to separate Guo Ning from the remaining political forces of Xu Chiguo and ensure Guo Ning's political reliability.

However, as the head of the imperial court, he dispatched reckless heroes to attack the imperial military stronghold in order to suppress the political opponents in the imperial court... Is the political situation in the Great Jin court so intense that it uses unscrupulous means?To what extent has the hearts of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty become so chaotic?
Changed to the former Guo Ning, probably has no idea about it.But at this moment, Guo Ning watched Yira Chucai talk about this request without changing his face, only thinking that Dajin Kingdom must take the pill, just like what Guo Ning saw in his dream.

Guo Ning turned to look at the front city wall: "It's a trivial matter to fight a war. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Is Tudan Youcheng so confident in Wanyan Gang? Does he think he can stand against the Mongolian army at Jinshan this time?"

Yicai Chucai sighed.If it is to others, even if he closes his eyes and talks nonsense, he can make up a set of words to boost confidence.However, Guo Ning himself is a veteran of fighting the Mongols. He and his subordinates have experienced the previous two failures and have a clear understanding of the situation.

"Wanyan Zuocheng is a veteran general. He has indeed made a lot of preparations. No matter what, he will not be defeated." After a long time, Yisha Chucai said slowly: "...you have to do your best."

After a pause, he continued: "Guo Langjun, the more difficult the situation is, the more important Tudan Youcheng's support for you is."

This is the truth.Guo Ning nodded.

He casually ordered a follower: "Quickly send an order to Li Ting to speed up his march and attack as soon as possible. Within an hour, I will go to Pinglu's village to rest my horse."
