choke element

From the standpoint of Dajin, in the past hundred years, in the autocratic domain, he surrendered to the Song and Xia countries, and he seemed to be the master of the world.However, in the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has always been a powerful country that can compete with the Great Jin Dynasty. The continuous defeat of the Great Song Dynasty in front of the Great Jin Dynasty is due to the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty rather than the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty.

That's why so many people were overjoyed to see the state of Jin's weakness, thinking that Song Dynasty had been trying for a long time, and finally got his chance.The restlessness of the Tai students is just the beginning. Next, when powerful ministers step down in shame, when a group of sages regain power, when there are soldiers angry, when the people cheer, and when there is recovery of the homeland, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.

All of the above are dreams.

On a certain day, in front of thousands of people, Li Yun, the Northern envoy, showed ten times tougher attitude than any other Jurchen envoy before, so the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty also withered away confidently.

Perhaps in order to conceal their inner weakness, many people in Lin'an quickly forced themselves to turn their attention to the other side, as if the humiliation by the envoy had never happened.And in order to cover up the high-pitched emotions they had when talking about the relationship between the uncles and nephews of the two countries, their jumping emotions towards another matter made them even more excited and frightening.

Another thing is a bit absurd to say.

After Yuan Shao, the newly appointed governor of Lin'an Prefecture, came to power, he has been keeping a close eye on Li Yun, the northern envoy in Banjing Pavilion.Probably because of Li Yun's bad deeds, his manpower was really not enough, so one day he sent an official document to the Xiang Office, and dispatched the corner guards stationed in the military patrol shops in various places to take over the control of the government offices and alleys in the city. .

The military inspection shop was originally an organization responsible for fire prevention and theft prevention, but in the past few years, it has taken in a lot of homeless and homeless people, so when the brigade marched to the Yiwang Mansion in the city, they were regarded as thieves by the guards and servants of the palace.At that moment, everyone rushed out bravely and beat them up.

Of course, this is the official explanation given tonight. Believe it or not, it's up to the audience.There is another rumor in the palace that the prince is not in good health these past few days, and often coughs and has a fever. It is not known whether this will trigger a struggle between the powerful officials and the young clan.

In the final analysis, many things in Lin'an City have no truth at all.What many people care about is never the truth. Everyone fights for something and even is filled with righteous indignation, and in the end it is all to achieve what they want.

For the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty, who is the future master of the court is a matter of utmost importance, and how many people's wealth and lives depend on it.As a result, suddenly no one cared about the negotiations between Da Song and the emerging power in the north. The original huge wave disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

For the negotiations between the two parties, it is a good thing that no one pays attention.

Shi Xiangye was in a bit of a panic facing the furious Yi Wang heir, which did not affect the negotiation.In his capacity, he only needs to set a bottom line, and it is never the prime minister himself who talks about things in detail.

If the words are more honest, the result of the negotiation between the two companies does not depend on the person who speaks.Since the start of the negotiations, the thousands of miles of border between the Song and Jin countries has never stopped. Each side is trying to grab more benefits for itself, just not to tear their faces into a large-scale war.

Guo Ning despises such things.

After he roughly determined the military and political arrangements on Nanjing Road and related directions, he turned his energy to dispatching troops and sending the soldiers back to their respective stations.

Li Ting's subordinates were naturally the first to leave.A considerable part of this army will return to Kaifeng soon, and then head west to Qinlong [-]th Road in Dajin Kingdom.Before carrying out such a difficult and time-consuming task, all soldiers should be given the opportunity to go home to rest and enjoy the family happiness.

After Li Ting's troops attacked Kaifeng, they were attacked by fire and suffered a lot of losses. It is also sympathetic for them to be the first to set off and return.This is very necessary.

Twenty miles to the north of the city, on the high wall of a post station to the east of Fengqiu City, Guo Ning was wearing a gray military uniform, without armor, nor did he bring his Marshal's flag and guard of honor, just sitting cross-legged, Quietly watching teams of soldiers marching.

It's almost September and it's autumn.The temperature is not low during the day, but it looks cool in the morning.Sitting high, you can also blow some cool breeze.

Guo Ning opened his arms in satisfaction and stretched himself.

He noticed that there was a general in the queue, Zhang Peng who once killed the enemy in Sanjiaodian.At that time, together with his companion Lao Liu, he killed Alihan, the son of the high-ranking Mongolian official Zabal Huozhe. Because of his meritorious service, he was given the opportunity to receive military training and was later transferred to Li Ting's subordinates.

This time Zhang Peng went south with Li Ting, and led his troops to stand firm in the fierce battle on a rainy night.This meritorious service is not small. Soon after he returns to Hebei, the new appointment of the Marshal's Mansion will be awarded. If his luck is not so bad, his military career will never end with a general.

It's a pity that Lao Liu died in battle.

That greedy old soldier is very familiar with the tactics of the Jin Army, Song Army, and even the Mongols. If he is not too old and has poor memory, he is not suitable for studying in a military school, and he could have been promoted to be a general.In the military academy, there is a shortage of suitable instructors at the moment. Guo Ning thought that after this war, the instructors of the military academy should be used as the main place for veterans. Their experience should not be wasted, and their experience should be sorted out, Organize and form orderly military regulations.

But since Lao Liu died in battle, certain experiences and skills unique to him have been buried in the soil since then. Perhaps future generations will have to shed a lot of blood before they can be summed up again.

Guo Ning thought with some emotion, the army continued to march, passing by the road not far in front of him.

The soldiers didn't pay attention to the warrior sitting on the wall of the post station, anyway, judging by the color of the military robe, it was fine if he was one of his own.

Only Zhang Peng had been trained in a military academy before and had been Guo Ning's attendant for a few days. When he passed by the post station, he suddenly realized, so he marched past and looked back from time to time.

Guo Ning waved to him.

Zhang Peng froze for a moment, then pointed to himself.

Guo Ning shouted with a smile: "Zhang Peng, come here!"

Zhang Peng hurried out of the queue.He came to the station wall and looked up at Guo Ning, laughing non-stop.

"I remember that at the beginning of the year, you married a young lady from the Wu family who raised horses in Guanqiao Town... How is it? Has she got a big belly?" Guo Ning leaned over and asked.

Zhang Peng was a little embarrassed, and said something, but his voice was drowned out by the footsteps of soldiers marching behind him, and Guo Ning couldn't hear clearly: "What?"

Several heads poked out from behind the high wall of the inn, and a familiar attendant asked, "What is that? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

"Not yet!" Zhang Peng blushed and shouted at the top of his voice.

Several attendants laughed wildly and retreated into the station.Guo Ning also laughed: "You kid, you have to work harder!"

As he said that, he reached out to the back of the wall and fumbled a few times. He held a golden hairpin and handed it out: "Take it! The reward for you was already awarded yesterday. This is another one for your wife!"

This golden hairpin is extremely finely crafted, and it looks like a phoenix about to fly as a whole. The feathers on the wings and tail are clearly visible, and there is a pearl in the mouth of the phoenix.The pearl was about the size of a finger belly, exuding a soft luster in the morning sun.

Zhang Peng is a vulgar person and cannot understand more details, but he also knows that this golden hairpin is a rare treasure that can be passed down to the family, and it is probably worth hundreds of dollars.He didn't dare to hold the hairpin too hard, and it almost fell off.Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, followed up with his left hand, clasped his palms together, and held them in his palm.

"Duke, this is too precious! A villain dare not..."

"Don't dare to be a fart, and it's not for you. What's your idea? Keep it, take it back to the lady, and treat her well!" Guo Ning laughed.

A guard shouted from behind the courtyard wall, "Let her give birth to a son!"

Many people burst into laughter, and Zhang Peng also laughed.

When he was about to kneel down and thank him, Guo Ning waved his hand: "Go, go! Don't put on a show, you make too much noise, and others will see it all...how can I benefit them so much?"

This was of course a joke, but Zhang Peng also understood that Guo Ning didn't intend to make a big show, so he gave a half salute and chased after his team with a happy face.Guo Ning sat lazily on the wall, continuing to look for any acquaintances or soldiers with special honors.After watching for a while, his face suddenly darkened.

The army moved, and as Guo Ning, he came to see him off.Why is Li Ting, the main general, nowhere to be seen?
Not only did he not see Li Ting, but his two deputies, Shi Tianying and Yelv Kefubaer, did not accompany the army either!
Could it be that after this victory, he got carried away with complacency?
Thinking of this, Guo Ning became a little unhappy.

At this time Ni Yi hurriedly came to the front and reported: "Guo Gong, just now there is a military report saying that Zhao Fang's troops have retreated through Ye County and stationed in Fangcheng Mountain. It seems that they are unwilling to leave. The Tang and Deng states must be swallowed up. .”

Guo Ning frowned.After a while, he said in a deep voice: "It's okay, don't worry about it for now. The Huainan side will soon have a result, and when the time comes, people from the Southern Dynasty will have to kneel and beg us."
