Chapter 519 Siege

While everyone was waiting, Genghis Khan was a little distracted.

Since he ordered Mu Huali and Shiji Hutuhu to collect information about Ding Haijun, he has heard many rumors of various kinds.Not long ago, Shi Tianying took his subordinates to ask for an interview again, and reported a lot to Genghis Khan about it.

To be honest, Genghis Khan didn't understand some of the content.For example, the operation of maritime trade routes involving the Song Kingdom in the south, for example, how Guo Ning participated in the abolition of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom.Those things are too detailed and complicated, and they don't match the vigorous and straightforward people on the grassland.

However, with his seemingly instinctive political sense, Genghis Khan gradually determined one thing.

That is, Guo Ning is not a pure general of the Kingdom of Jin. He is not what Genghis Khan imagined before, like the famous Linggong of Xixia, or a first-class figure who is loyal and loyal to the Kingdom of Jin.

The Ding Navy controlled by Guo Ning is an independent regime formed within the territory of the Kingdom of Jin due to various reasons.If you take into account the fact that this regime has grown from scratch in just a few years, and has been viciously beating enemies blocking the way... Genghis Khan thought about it, as if only his own experience of rising by the Onan River was the same.

It took Genghis Khan 19 years from living on the banks of the Onan River to controlling considerable strength and becoming the leader of the Qiyan tribe.This is also due to the fact that Genghis Khan was originally the son of the leader of the Qiyan tribe and has a natural appeal.

As for Guo Ning, if the results of Mu Huali and others' inquiring are not bad, how long did it take him to become a Xuanfu who commanded a vast area from a regular army?two years?
Such a person should not be viewed only as an enemy on the battlefield, but as a small Temujin!
Shi Mobuhua was right, Ding Haijun's attention must be in Zhongdu.

Even if Genghis Khan didn't look at the actions of the fleet and army in front of him, he dared to say so.

Because the relationship between the Dinghai Navy and the court of the Kingdom of Jin is similar to the relationship between Genghis Khan and Tuoli Khan, and even the court of the Kingdom of Jin.

Genghis Khan himself was once appointed by the court of the Kingdom of Jin as the "Jawudikuli", that is, the commander of Zhudao.He himself understands better than anyone else how to use the trust of Tuoli Khan and the court of the Kingdom of Jin to grow bigger step by step, and then finally counterattack.

Guo Ning's rapid rise is nothing more than these methods.

Therefore, Genghis Khan can conclude that the Ding Navy must be inseparable from the support of the Jin Dynasty court at this stage.The more powerful the enemy is, the more Dinghai needs the court of the Kingdom of Jin to shield him from the wind and rain, and to ensure that the court of the Kingdom of Jin has the ability to shield him from the wind and rain... Zhongdu must not be lost.

Once this is confirmed, one's own side has gained the initiative to a certain extent.But such a rare initiative is only used in a small ambush?Pretend to besiege Tongzhou, and then cut off the retreat of the Ding Navy and annihilate their [-] elite?

Shi Mo's strategy of not spending money is too petty.

In the past two years, the Ding Navy has caused more than [-] casualties to the Mongols!Among them is Jebe!This is a real formidable enemy, and it is likely to be a future enemy. We must use the most powerful means to kill him in the cradle!

Genghis Khan came back to his senses and waved to the generals in front of him: "I have an idea, let's discuss it together!"

At the end of the first month of the third year of Zhenyou, Zhigu Village.

Since arriving here, Chen Ran got up very early every day, and went to have breakfast with the soldiers after waking up.

After the palm was injured that day, Chen Ran switched to a civilian job and was responsible for welcoming and escorting Guo Ning.He has a kind personality and a good temper, so he can get along well with civil and military officials.When he returned to the barracks now, although he wanted to emphasize the unpredictable side of the army, he did not change his habit of getting close to others, so every morning and noon, he would start cooking with the soldiers and have dinner with the soldiers. The soldiers talked about some anecdotes in the barracks.

This is very important for an officer who has just returned to the army, and it is a necessary link for him to master the army.

Moreover, in the past ten months, troops from Shandong continued to arrive at Zhigu Village, gradually crowding the village to the brim.At the same time, there was a steady stream of grain transported to Zhongdu and Tongzhou, and people transported from Tongzhou.Zhigu Village, as a transshipment hub directly controlled by Dinghai, was extremely busy from top to bottom.

Yan Ming, the prosecuting officer in the village, hadn't had a good night's sleep for several nights. Another powerful person, the Jurchen hereditary Mou Ke Liye, who claimed to be brother-in-law with Li Yun, had lost a lot of weight.

Even so, in the process of arrangement, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, various contradictions, and even the repressed and impetuous emotions of the soldiers, all of which need to be discovered and sorted out in time by him who is in charge.

At this time, two people helped Chen Ran a lot.

One is Liu Ran, the leader of the defeated army on Beijing Road, the young man Chen Ran has been paying attention to for a long time.This person is not only outstanding in archery, but also has good eyesight and sees things very clearly.Because he accompanied Chen Ran to perform meritorious service along the Lushui line a few days ago, Chen Ran made him a general and stayed by his side for the time being.

With Liu Ran, Chen Ran quickly got to know the defeated soldiers who came to the vicinity of Zhigu Village one after another, and was able to select capable people among them.

The other person was a Jurchen brought back from Tongzhou a few days ago.

It turned out that it was his younger brother's family that the commander of the Tongzhou garrison wanted Chen Ran to help transfer.His younger brother has been in the army for many years, his skills are very vigorous, and his surname is Wanyan...but he is still just a pawn.Because of his congenital disability, he is a deaf person who cannot hear or speak, even his name is Wan Yan Kui.

Such a person, under the rule of the huge Ding Haijun, there is not more than one, not less than one.So Chen Ran directly contacted the familiar Gangshou and asked people to transport Wanyan Kui and others to Laizhou directly.

Unexpectedly, Wan Yankui himself firmly disagreed. After sending his mother and younger brother to the boat, he turned back and wrote on the ground with a wooden stick, saying that he would follow Ding Haijun and fight back to Tongzhou.

Such an interesting person, it doesn't hurt to stay around.Chen Ran asked him to be his bodyguard.As a result, because Wanyan Kui had a good reputation for righteousness in Tongzhou, the next two groups of soldiers and civilians in Tongzhou came to Zhigu Village, and when they saw this deaf man, they felt relieved.

So in the past few days, as long as there is no special official business, Chen Ran will take them to eat, drink and chat with the soldiers.

But on this day, Chen Ran's arrangement was disrupted early in the morning.

The sky had just dawned, and he hadn't woken up from his sleep, Tian Xiong pushed open the door and said angrily: "Qian Xia, come and see!"

Chen Ran was still wearing his military uniform, when Tian Xiong dragged him towards the watchtower outside.After walking two steps, Tian Xiong realized that this move was inappropriate, and quickly let go of his hand, took out some military newspapers from his arms: "Qian Ju, read these first!"

"what happened?"

"We deployed at Sanchahekou in the north, Liukou in the west, and Wozikou in the south at the same time. The Mongolian army mobilized the newly attached Han army and Khitan army on Beijing Road, as well as a large number of Bohai navy, and they are rushing towards the We are approaching. They are about to surround Zhigu Village on three sides, and the number of enemies coming from each direction exceeds [-]...maybe more!"

Chen Ran just felt that Tian Xiong was too startled, and now he himself was stunned for a while.

"Han army, Khitan army, and Bohai navy? More than 2 people in each direction, or even [-] people?"

He subconsciously frowned and asked: "These people are all good barking dogs. They are all here to deal with us. Who will attack Tongzhou and Zhongdu? Are the Mongol masters going to go to the city personally?"

Tian Xiong shook his head: "Qian Jurisdiction, let's read the military newspaper."

The military newspaper written by the sentry cavalry was very scribbled, but Chen Ran was used to it, so he wouldn't be bothered.Several military reports are the result of the sentry cavalry's approaching observation according to the military law after discovering the enemy's track in advance.The actions and flags of the soldiers and horses watched are all accurate.

Sanchahekou in the north is under the command of Shi Tianying of the Black Army, Liukou in the west is under the command of Khitan Yeruke Shoubaer, and Wozikou in the south is under the command of Youxingge from Bohai... These people, according to Liu Ran , is a particularly brave and ruthless character in the Beijing Lufu Congjun Army.They have all led the troops here!
"Here again? Is this trip for real?" Chen Ran murmured.

Tian Xiong asked: "Qian Jurisdiction, do you want to make preparations for battle?"

Chen Ran let out a heavy "Hey".
