Chapter 275

When Guo Ning first arrived in Laizhou, he landed at the port of Haicang Town, and after successive battles, he always relied on the fort of Haicang Town.This is because Haicang Town is located at the westernmost end of Laizhou, and fighting here can limit the fighting to outside Laizhou as much as possible.

Once the fighting ceases for a while, it is always the county seat of Laizhou that is really suitable as the center of the military state.

The name of Ye County was first seen in the Warring States Period.Tian Dan won the honor of thousands of households in Yeyi through his efforts in restoring Qi. This Yeyi is now Ye County.

The whole of Laizhou is generally flat, but around Ye County, there are many dangerous mountains and rivers.There are Fushan and Lushan Mountains in the northwest of Ye County, Gaowang Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain in the south, Donglai Mountain in the east, and Sanshan Island in the north. land.

After Guo Ning took control of Ye County, he used Jing Anmin, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, to operate it.In Zhuozhou, the people of Jing'an built a powerful force from scratch, and they were good at governing. Most of the annexed houses of the heroes here were wiped out by Guo Ningxing's army, and the rest were honest, so the government decree came. Such as wind blowing grass die.

After a few months, the weather in the city is quite different from the past.

The south gate of the city has obviously been heightened and reinforced. There is a wall of sheep and horses rammed with earth and rocks on the outside. The towers and archery towers on the wall are newly built. It has its own humble majesty.

The city wall itself has not been repaired for decades, so it is inevitable that weeds will grow overgrown, and the shrubs on the platform can grow as tall as a person.There are several teams of strong men cutting miscellaneous trees along the base of the platform to clear the way for the team carrying gravel behind.No one is hanging ink lines from the top of the city wall, shouting and ordering in a low voice from time to time, probably to build an additional horse face outside there.

Because the movement was small, the dirt and rubbish on the dilapidated part of the wall rolled down. Above the platform was a moat, and no one was narrowing the trench outside. All the dirt fell on us, stirring up choking dust, so These people cursed outside the ditch, causing everyone to laugh.

On the low ground to the east of the city, there is still no military fortress under construction.

The Tunbao is built on a sloping land and is in a regular shape. The walls are built with crushed stones and rammed earth slabs. There are no turrets at the seven corners.

The open space between Tunpu and the city is a small school yard.In the center of the school field, there are rows and rows of soldiers holding knives and guns, performing assassinations with the changes of orders and flags, and the sound of shouting and killing resounds around.

On the north side of the school grounds, there were few teams of cavalry galloping back and forth, stabbing each other with long wooden poles outside their hands.

To the east of the school grounds is the place where archery is practiced. Some of the soldiers did not hold bows and arrows, so they just lined up and raised wooden sticks with stones hanging in their hands, pretending to aim at them.

At this time, there was a middle-height, dark-skinned knight with a few servants. He stopped near the school grounds and stared at us for a long time.The soldiers kept their posture, moving every move, and even their eyes glanced randomly.

After all, the cold wind was unbearable. Few men stood still, their movements changed, but their bodies curled up a bit.Immediately afterwards, no officer beat him head-on with a wooden stick: "Stand up straight! Stand up straight for you! Put your elbows away!"

The knight nodded slightly.

"There is no school here in Xiyou Town, the scale is larger than that. I heard that there is no school in Zhaoyuan County. Ninghai Prefecture, Laiyang, Jiaoshui and other places also have none. The soldiers newly recruited by Guo Jiedu in Shandong, Many young people have seen blood and killed people before, but since that time, they still have to go through complicated training here, and then gather here, and then practice hard. This person is called an evil tiger, which is really a vain name .”

Just as he was feeling emotional, no one in front shouted: "Master behind, make way! Make way!"

The knight led his servants and steered his horse into the withered grass beside the road.

In November and July, it was deep winter.

According to the abnormal situation, at that time, there will be something in the field, and the government office will also do something at that time, so there will be few travelers on the road, and only merchants who have not returned their goods will still run around.

But the situation in those few months was the same as in the past. The knights had only pulled their horses to the side of the road, and there was no long procession passing by.

The crowd is bustling, and everyone looks like they are traveling far.

At the end of the line are warriors riding war horses with fierce expressions.

Most of the people in front walked.No one pushes a wheelbarrow, puts the boxes and cages under the car, and lets the old man sit on the top of the box; a few people have any luggage, just use a branch as a crutch, wrap their ragged clothes tightly, carry or carry the package, Go back quickly.

No one was walking, pointing to the Laizhou City behind, and talking to others with anticipation; no one was sad and sighed.On the contrary, children generally work very slowly for many years. From a few years old to teenagers, they gather in groups, talking and joking, and walking outside the crowd.

Sometimes we ran to the forefront of the team, and there were no fully armed soldiers walking in line.Surrounded by the soldiers were the vehicles carrying food and fodder, which were closely guarded.As soon as the children approached, they were immediately scolded and chased away, but the children were still laughing and laughing, and they were not too scared.

"Go and ask those people where they came from."

The knight ordered his companions to act.

This companion rode over immediately, and just got close to the crowd and drank a few words.Afterwards, no warriors with bows and knives came over to ask.

The subordinates on both sides did not have the certificate issued by the Navy Mansion, but Yu misunderstood.

This warrior is Dong Tui.I asked a few words, then ignored it, pulled my horse back, and said to Guo Ning: "This white-faced horseman is an official of the imperial court, um, he is the governor of Haicang Town, and his name is Wu Gulun Liu Sheng. I have no license Fu, said he was invited by Jieshuai."

The governor of Haicang Town is already a small figure in Shandong.As a crowd, it is inevitable to feel weak when hearing such an official here.But at that moment, Guo Ning and the others even had the thought of taking a glance, and they all said: "Let's hurry up, we must take care of me. After paying the order, take a good rest for two days."

It turned out that before Guo Ning and others left Changbai Mountain, they were on their way day and night.But on the way, he bumped into Zhang Qian's subordinate who was in charge of collecting grain and fodder in Le'an, so he had to stop to help.

This Le'an city was originally an important town that Wanyan Sasha was working hard to manage. There are 7000 permanent residents, and the stored grain and fodder can last for several years.As a result, when the news of Wanyan Sala's defeat came, the 7000 people dispersed immediately.In order to compete for reserves, several troops fought with each other, and fighting broke out.

Zhang Qian was leading his troops to move in the distance, and immediately rushed to suppress him after hearing the news.Relying on the prestige of the Ding Navy, some of the stragglers dared to stop them, so I controlled the storage of food, and called friendly troops and comrades from all over the place to carry it overnight.The number of Guo Ning and his party is small, but there are many mules, horses and animals, so it is natural to help.

But there are fewer pots and pans, and the speed of marching will inevitably increase.And when the marching speed is faster, the people on the road will hear that there will be no wars, and they will follow one after another, making the marching speed faster.

No matter how majestic the Dinghai Navy is, there will always be no knowledgeable local thieves along the way who know life and death, trying to take advantage of the chaos.When the group camped at night, they were slightly on guard, but were broken into several times by thieves, causing repeated turmoil.Guo Ning faced the enemy at night, shouting and commanding, but the unhealed wound under his face was torn again, and half of his body was red with blood, so he paid attention to it.

A few days ago the team passed through Shouguang, and Yang An'er's troops had already crossed Muling Pass, and gathered Li Quan, Zhang Lin and other Xiaohao's forces in Yidu.

When Yang An'er's troops passed by Zhang Qian and others, the two sides sent envoys to contact each other, and they both promised to use swords.But the two teams are still heavily guarded, staring at each other.

Fortunately, Xiao Mole also led the troops to gather at that time, and Zhang Qian and the others breathed a sigh of relief when their waists stiffened.A group of people passed through Weizhou and returned to Laizhou.

When they arrived in Ninghai Prefecture, Wang Shixian, who stayed here, came forward, and everyone knew that Rongzu went to Laizhou Zhisuoye County a few days later.Because Ninghai Prefecture had already received enough supplies for the population, Wang Shixian sent special staff to arrange transfers, and also dispatched a group of medical officers to diagnose and treat healthy or sick people.

The people rested in Ninghai Prefecture for two days, and then led the people to continue eastward for seven days before arriving at Ye County.That journey took nearly [-] days, during which there were numerous trifles and difficulties, even though Guo Ning and the others were capable, they felt exhausted.

But Wugu said that Zhang Rong's companion should pull the horse back, and said angrily: "We are the people brought back by Rong Zu from Le'an, Boxing and other places in Yidu Prefecture. The soldiers and horses in front will all be brought with them; just now The one who asked was Awaixi named Dong."

Speaking of that, I looked at Wu Gu's comment on Zhang Rong, and said: "A mere Ah Waixi, does anyone ignore the governor! You said that the master is here, and we are here to see you!"

When Wu Gu talked about Liu Sheng, he didn't care about his companion's nonsense.

In Haicang Town, I was just a short-term governor. As the situation became more and more chaotic, it was already worth nothing.

I immediately stood outside the weeds, watching the group of soldiers and civilians walking quickly to the gate of the city.Outside the city gate, Ding Zhuang, who had never been a farmer, withdrew.Seeing a small group of soldiers and civilians coming, the soldiers on guard called their subordinates to come out to inquire.

Warriors don't have waist badges and letters. As for the common people, they have probably already counted the details, and the compiled books have been sent long ago.So they took the books on both sides, calling names one by one to check.
