choke element

Chapter 392 Life and Death

"What's going on? How did he die?" Guo Ning asked again.

The envoy opened his mouth repeatedly and only made a "ho ho" sound from his throat.Accompanied by his breath, there was a stench that Guo Ning was familiar with. It was the smell produced by the wounds of dying people, mixed with the smell of blood, which was very choking.

"Jie Shuai, let me ask you in detail." Xu Yu said.

Guo Ning nodded, stood up from the messenger, beckoned, and in exchange for a medical officer: "Let's clean up a quiet room in my courtyard and place this messenger properly. Be careful and take care of it."

The medical officer is an acquaintance, who poured cold water on Tu Shanhang at the Feijunhe camp that day.Hearing Guo Ning's order, he stepped forward a few steps and whispered in his ear, "Jie Shuai, don't bother, this person won't survive."

"Ok?"

"When he came, he had already suffered several severe wounds from knives and guns, and some of the wounds even reached his internal organs... We used a thick soup made of ginseng and aconite to drink him, and then he lifted his spirits. It was for the patient to return to life. If Xu Canjun asks a few more words, he may not be able to make it..."

"Hey!" Guo Ning was immediately annoyed.

Just as he was about to yell and scold, he remembered that his family had just said that the medical officer was required to revive the person first, so he could only sigh: "You really, really did it..."

The medical officer was full of panic, Guo Ning casually said a few words of comfort, and went back to the study.

"I'm a little stuffy, push the window open."

The subordinates opened the windows on both sides of the study, and the evening breeze came in.Everyone was speechless, waiting quietly for what Xu Xuan asked.

After a while, Xu Yu came back with a frown.

"How about it?"

"He said that he was Yang An'er's close guard. After Yang An'er led his troops into Huai Shang, he fought several times with Wanyan Congtan, a general under King Sui's tent, but he was still unable to go deep. One day he led his own Qingqi, Longshan Temple was investigating the terrain and was ambushed by Wanyan Congtan Qingqi. Yang An'er died on the spot, and then the army collapsed. The messenger brought a few subordinates and galloped to report, begging Jieshuai to send troops and help them. Because people along the way He was robbed and killed, so he ended up in such a miserable state."

The question is detailed enough, it seems that the strong medicine really works.

In the silence, someone asked doubtfully: "What kind of person is Wanyan Congtan? Does he have this ability?"

Another person asked: "The military newspaper said earlier that there were about ten thousand elite soldiers brought to Huai by Yang An'er? Even if all these ten thousand people died, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of the leaders of the Red Coat Army." The troops may not be enough to attack, but they are more than self-disciplined. Why are you in such a hurry and begging to come to our door?"

Xu Xuan replied: "We still have to wait for the follow-up news about the specific battle situation. But when it comes to why this person turned to our commander-in-chief... The huge power of the Red Coat Army was completely entangled by Yang An'er's personal prestige. There is still internal strife and fire. Once Yang An'er dies, the various ministries will immediately fall apart, and the weak ones will either protect themselves from danger, or be annexed, and the strong will fight and attack each other."

The man still didn't understand, and continued to ask: "Xu Canjun, I mean, we have no friendship with Yang An'er, what is his guard begging us to do? Who sent him here? It may not be..."

This official has not been in Dinghai for a long time, and he still doesn't know the complicated relationship between friends and enemies between Dinghai and the Red Coat Army. Monk Luo coughed twice, got up and said: "Since the follow-up news will have to wait for two days, the festival Handsome, let the troops be alert for now, shall we?"

Guo Ning stood behind the desk, looking up at a map of Shandong on the wall.

Yang An'er is dead?
Gathered a force of 10,000+ and occupied more than half of Shandong. As a result, he raised his troops vigorously and attacked Nanjing Road. He died before he could achieve any results?Always a hero, did he die so easily?
This change came so suddenly that Guo Ning was caught off guard.

Guo Ning has never been optimistic about the future of the Red Coat Army. He and his subordinates believe that although the Red Coat Army is powerful, it has no foundation, and its internal factions are complicated and difficult to control. It is based on the failure of the Red Coat Army.

But everyone also felt that such a huge force, although not enough to attack, was more than enough to protect itself.Considering that many officers and men of the Red Coat Army have a deep hatred with the court of the Kingdom of Jin, even if they lose consecutively on the battlefield, they can persist for a long time relying on their management in the remote mountains and dangerous places.

At least, stick to it after this autumn harvest.

At that time, Dinghai's strength will expand again, and Guo Ning will have enough strength to support any decision he makes.

But now?

On the Liaodong side, the territory of the two states has just been acquired, and it still needs to be digested and absorbed. It needs to transfer heavy troops from Shandong, and it has been stabilized; the contact with the warlords in the Northeast has just begun, and the benefits generated have not yet been seen. There are many resources.

From a certain point of view, the power that Guo Ning can mobilize in Shandong has actually been weakened in the past two months.

But Yang An'er died at this time.

With his death, the Red Coat Army will inevitably be in chaos. King Sui on the Nanjing Road side, and San Anzhen, the newly appointed Xuanfu envoy on the Hebei side, will immediately extend their hands to Shandong with all their strength.

Can the leaders of the Red Coat Army, who are falling apart and fighting each other, be able to resist?
Guo Ning was not familiar with Sui Wang Wanyan Shouxu and Hebei Xuanfu Envoy San Anzhen.But Guo Ning knew how much Tu Shanyi valued King Sui when he was alive.Tu Shanyi regards servant Anzhen as an important ally, and Guo Ning also knows it.

There will be no problem with Tu Shanyi's vision, and these two must have means and talents.

Perhaps in this month or two months, the forces of these two parties will go deep into Shandong.And the Red Coat Army, which Guo Ning originally regarded as something in his pocket, is likely to be divided and swallowed by these two!

Once the Red Coat Army is defeated and the power of the imperial court is under Ding Haijun's eyes, it will be a serious threat far more dangerous than the Red Coat Army.

Of course, San Anzhen, a servant of the Zhongdu court, and King Sui, who controlled Henan, were not the same.If the two forces come into contact with each other in Shandong, there will be conflicts with each other. The Ding Navy will move forward and retreat between the two, and it may not be possible to open up a new situation.

But the Dinghai Navy itself is already a behemoth covering five states. How can it be so easy to lie down and be small?The corpse of a certain servant from the Bureau is still floating in the sea!

If it is not enough to be small, the Jin army has already slashed its neck, so how should it be dealt with at that time?
Guo Ning has always been fierce in tactics, but influenced by that big dream in strategy, he likes to play steadily and step by step.However, step by step does not mean sitting back and watching the situation change, one ebbs and another.

According to Monk Luo's intention, is it just for the soldiers to be vigilant?That's certainly not enough to scare people.

In the final analysis, Guo Ning has long taken a fancy to the Shandong territory.In any case, no one else can be allowed to interfere.

Whoever dares to stretch out his hand will chop off his hand!

Guo Ning sighed, turned around and said to everyone: "It's only been a few days since the comfortable days, and I'm going to be busy again! There is a saying, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Although we strive to be steady, when things come to an end, we have to face difficulties Just go up. Everyone, please don’t work hard and help me."

All the civil and military personnel bowed: "Please give orders, Marshal Jie."

"The grain and fodder business in Zhongdu and Liaodong will be stopped first. I will use all the grain. The Secretary of Government Affairs will do my best to dispatch the grain, fodder and supplies."

"Yes."

"The arrangements of Han Xuan and other ministries remain unchanged. However, the five armies directly under the Dinghai Jiedu Envoy's Mansion will immediately prepare the army and prepare for dispatch at any time. The aforementioned arrangement of signing [-] troops in the shade households will be completed within ten days in advance. "

"As ordered."

"The subordinates of the Dushi Division in the three prefectures of Denglai should have a reserve of about 9000 troops, and 5000 troops will be transferred out to supplement the Fifth Army. At the same time, it is allowed to sign [-] troops locally to make up for the vacancies."

"Yes!"

"Also, invite that Mr. Liang Xunyi to come. He is a serious Dr. Taichang, and his literary talent must be good. Let him write a decent essay for me. Well, the essay said that I, Shandong Xuan Fushi, we are going to raise troops to attack the Red Coat Army."

Several civil servants knew immediately that Jie Shuai was holding the knife in his hand, ready to see blood, but he didn't intend to tear his face to death.

The guise of the Shandong Xuanfu envoy is about to be used.

Yicha Chucai responded respectfully: "Understood, I'll go invite Mr. Liang."
