Chapter 378 The Big Picture
The next morning, when Guo Ning woke up, he could smell blood in the tent.

That's because during the fight yesterday, he was shot by an arrow in the shoulder and stabbed in his left leg. At that time, he only cut off his robe and wrapped it temporarily to stop the bleeding.In the evening, the military doctor re-bandaged the wound for him.But because there were still many soldiers who needed to be taken care of, the military doctors came and went in a hurry, and threw the torn bloody robes directly in the corner of the tent.

Outside the tent, the sky was twilight.Guo Ning suddenly turned over and sat up, and Ni Yi asked, "Jie Shuai?"

"Is there a military report?"

"Yes." Ni Yi opened the tent and came in: "Half a quarter ago, the messengers sent back by the three scouts who were ordered to enter the vicinity of Guangping Mansion last night have all returned one after another."

"Oh?"

Guo Ning thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took clean water and dry food, put them in front of him, and said with a smile: "You and Zhao Jue didn't wake me up, did you want me to sleep longer? It seems that the news sent back by the scouts must be good news. It's Li Were Ting and the others found safe and sound? Did you capture Brother Yeluliu? Or did you discover the whereabouts of the Mongols?"

"All of them! All of them!" Ni Yi smiled brightly: "Jie Shuai, you don't know that last night, Li Erlang did three things."

"Huh? How do you say it? Bring me the military newspaper."

Guo Ning took the military newspaper from Ni Yi.It was written directly by the officer leading the team, with bold and scribbled handwriting.It only takes a few short lines to tell the story, flat and simple, without any literary talent.But Guo Ning looked at these and felt relieved. It was because of this record that it most intuitively reflected the reality of the battlefield.

The three-way scout sent a report to the three-way army. Some people found this, and some people found that.Guo Ning's family pieced together the situation in the military newspaper, and they opened their mouths wide open, speechless.

"This..." After a while, he let out a breath.

"Brother Yeluliu exhausted his energy and died on the way to escape? His entourage said that before Brother Yeluliu died, he might have heard shouts from the air, saying what, it's over... So all thoughts were lost and he died immediately?"

"Correct."

"The two thousand fine cavalry of the Mongolian army Mu Huali, led by his son Bolu, set off from Jinzhou and headed straight for Xianping Prefecture. But halfway, they encountered a thunderstorm in Lingshan County, Yizhou, which caused a mountain fire, so they dared not Continue to move forward, withdraw troops?"

"Correct."

Guo Ning threw away the first two military reports and weighed the third: "The three of Li Ting were injured in many places, but they were not life-threatening... It was just that the hot air balloon burned down? They walked back overnight from Lingshan County, Yizhou. In order to travel quickly, they ambushed the lone knights on the way, trying to kill and seize their horses. As a result, they caught Yelu Xuejie, the eldest son of Yeluliuge. They took Yelu Xueja as a hostage, and were forced to run away. The more than [-] Khitan troops surrendered?"

Ni Yi nodded repeatedly.

"Damn it..." Guo Ning couldn't help but swear, and threw away the third military newspaper: "Li Erlang, this guy, dangling in the sky, did three big things in one go?"

"When so."

Guo Ning covered his forehead, Li Ting's hands on his hips appeared in front of his eyes, laughing wildly triumphantly.

"Is there any rumor about this?" he asked.

"The military newspaper arrived not long ago, and we only found out after reading it, but we never..."

"Then don't spread the word. I just think that Li Ting hangs in the sky for two hours, and it has nothing to do with the movements of the Khitan army and the Mongolian army! This guy's actions are ridiculous, and he almost killed his own family and his comrades! He Why do you still want to make meritorious service? I have to punish him severely!"

"But Li Ting himself knows?" Ni took a look at Guo Ning's expression, and said cautiously: "Although Li Erlang is reckless, he is still shrewd. , you only need to ask, and you will understand everything!"

"Hey!" Guo Ning rolled his eyes.

Ni Yi naturally knew that the two were very friendly, so he laughed and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Guo Ning said: "Send a fine man to immediately urge the horse to see Li Ting. Tell him that since the Khitans surrendered, it is not appropriate to humiliate them, especially Yelu Xueyu... Be polite to him! Let Li Ting not show him That smug demeanor!"

At this time, Dong Jin came in and cupped his hands: "Jieshuai, I heard that Mu Huali took down the Dading Mansion in Beijing and killed Wanyan Chengyu. Heshi Liehuanduan and others were all terrified. They came to pay a visit at this moment and are waiting outside. .”

Only then did Guo Ning realize that there was still this in the military newspaper.

He picked up the three military newspapers again and put them in front of him for a closer look.

After all, Guo Ning is not all the way from the imperial court. From his standpoint, the imperial court does not need to care about losing troops or generals.What's more, Wanyan Chengyu was the chief culprit who single-handedly caused Yehuling's defeat back then. Guo Ning didn't seek his misfortune because he was thinking about the overall situation and held his hands high.

If the imperial court had to use this kind of mediocre general to station in the Liaohai Passage, it would be tantamount to sending this place to the Mongolian army's fast horse and scimitar, lest others would not come to kill it.

Mu Huali used people like Puxian Wannu and Yeluliuge to attract the attention of the warlords from all over Liaodong, and he took a trip to Beijing Road in his spare time, and in an instant he captured one of the five capitals of the Dajin Kingdom. The entire territory of Dajin was cut off...Guo Ning would probably do the same if he was in the same situation.

For the Mongolian army, it is a great thing for the Mongolian army to take down the Dading Mansion in Beijing, cut off the Liaohai passage, cut off the Jurchen's arm, and then formed a double-sided threat to the central government. General Mu Huali reported it Genghis Khan is a great achievement.

And this is also an excellent situation for Guo Ning.

Once the Liaohai passage was cut off, all the warlords in the Northeast had to contact the imperial court. If they wanted to obtain any supplies, they had to rely on the sea route.Since Hu Shahu's rebellion, the shipping capacity of Dajin Kingdom and the fleet controlled by the nobles in Zhongdu have completely fallen under the control of Guo Ning.

Therefore, the warlords of all walks of life can only rely on Guo Ning to survive; and the imperial court can only rely on Guo Ning to maintain the face and style of the imperial court.

No matter where he was, Guo Ning acted fiercely and did not hide his position too much, so he estimated that most of the parties would not treat him as a loyal court official.However, as a Han'er rising in the north, isn't it very happy?

Under such a situation, the strength of the Ding Navy will surely double.

When Guo Ning only had the three prefectures of Denglai in his hands, he was able to repel part of the Mongolian army head-on, and he completely ignored the Red Coat Army on the border of Shandong; The interior of Northeast China has been turned into resources... After a year or two or even less, the Ding Navy will attack with all its strength. Is it possible that it will not be able to sweep Shandong and reach a higher level?

Thinking of this, Guo Ning speeded up his chewing of dry food, and took two sips of water: "Let Heshi Liehuanduan wait for a while, and I will go see them immediately."

At this time, Zhao Jue came in with the information collected last night.

He is the leader of Guo Ning's close servants, and he also has the responsibility of guarding the entire army.At this moment, I have collected the specific figures of the enemy's losses and the scale of the materials seized in this battle. In addition, I have also watched several generals, lieutenant and above officers, and wrote the post-war summary early.

There are all kinds of books, a total of seven or eight notebooks, in a thick stack, held in his hand.

Hearing Guo Ning talk about the situation in Liaohai, Zhao Jue took a half step forward, put the documents by the table, and said in a low voice: "When I just came, I saw that the generals in Liaodong were all worried."

Guo Ning coughed lightly and nodded.

He swallowed the steamed cake, and at the same time suppressed his churning thoughts, and took out the city he had developed over the months of being in a high position.He said in a serious tone: "The Liaohai Passage fell into the hands of Mongolia, which is very harmful to the overall situation! Let's go to see Heshi Lie Dutong and others. In addition, we will send people to Mr. Jinqing from Laizhou and Jinzhi from Zhongdu. Mister sent a letter, we have to discuss a way to deal with it!"
