Yizai Chucai was writing down a document and was going to the end. Hearing Guo Ning's words, the expression on his face did not change. His hand shook and a drop of ink fell on the document.
When Guo Ning's troops first arrived in Shandong, everything was in a hurry. The navy was assigned to take over the military and political affairs of the three states, and the framework was very large. Even with the help of the men accumulated from the Xijunhe camp and the people of Jing'an in Zhuozhou,
,Many processes and affairs still need to be ,continuously adjusted while advancing.
This makes the opinions written on the side when Yipa Chucai reviews documents are often longer than the main text. And because he wants to prevent officials with different levels of skills from unclearly understanding or making mistakes, he takes every word.
The ends are strict and strong, the four sides are stable, and the characters are arranged as neatly as a military formation.
Although Guo Ning is not proficient in calligraphy, he still thinks it is very good, as if it has a tough and upright connotation.
However, there is nothing pretentious about using Chu materials. After the ink fell, he paused for a moment, turned his pen, and turned it into a sentence.
He closed the document, stood up and asked: "Mr. Lang also wants to be called a distinguished guest. I think he has an extraordinary status, but I don't know what kind of person he is?"
"The former Minister of Rites, Aotun Zhongxiao."
"This..." Yi La Chucai was a little surprised: "Didn't this gentleman belong to Hu Shahu and was arrested by Lang Jun when he was under Donghua's sect? Why did he come here? What is his current position?"
Guo Ning chuckled twice: "I heard that this person left the capital a few days ago to take up a post. He just arrived in Yidu not long ago. Now he is the inspector and transport envoy of Shandong East Road."
In the current situation, a short-term inspection envoy or transport envoy is nothing. That day, the one who followed King Sheng and was blocked by Guo Ning's troops in Pinglu Village was Hebei West Road Transport Envoy Zhang Wei. Later, the war was chaotic, and no one knows
This king is dead or alive.
Yi La Chucai's expression changed: "Then, this person comes from Yidu?"
"Exactly, some of them crossed the Jiao River east of Changyi and bumped into our sentries, so we brought them back."
"Interesting... Lang Jun's jurisdiction is in Laizhou. Now Laizhou is not moving, but Yidu Prefecture is very attentive."
"Let's go see who he represents and what he will say."
"As commanded."
It turned out that Hu Shahu raided Zhongdu that day, and his troops searched everywhere in the city. They arrested many officials overnight and ordered them to cooperate with us. Those who were unwilling to cooperate or showed hostile intentions were killed on the spot. A few were left.
The smart people expressed their willingness to cooperate with Hu Shahu, so they took Aotun Zhongxiao, who was the prince's young master and minister of the Ministry of Rites, as the leader.
Unexpectedly, not long after Aotun Zhongxiao surrendered his loyalty to Hu Shahu, Guo Ning came in from outside the city, defeated the rebels in one fell swoop, and killed Hu Shahu. When the two armies fought in front of Donghua Gate, Aotun Zhongxiao was there to watch.
With.
After Guo Ning took control of the situation, he arrested all the civil servants huddled in the corner, including Aotun Zhongxiao, and handed them over to Yusi when he withdrew his troops out of the city the next day.
At that time, both Guo Ning and Yi La Chucai thought that officials like this would suffer, but they never thought that they would encounter this person when they arrived in Shandong?
He showed ruthless methods to clean up the clan, but after ascending the throne, he was quite polite and generous in excluding dissidents.
The two of them moved into the handsome tent one after the other.
Guo Ning said his request, and in a moment, Aotun Zhongxiao walked in from outside the tent.
This gentleman was in his sixties and had a pure appearance. When he was in the capital, he was a noble official. Even if he was demoted and sent out, his official rank was still higher than Guo Ning's.
Now Guo Ning is sitting calmly, and summoning Aotun Zhongxiao to see him is very unruly and rude, but Aotun Zhongxiao is not angry at all, and his behavior is quite magnanimous.
After seeing each other, Guo Ning got straight to the point: "The inspector came from Yidu. I wonder if I have any advice?"
"What kind of advice do you have for a guilty person? I came here just to bring a message to others... Only when I came here did I show my sincerity on the part of Yidu." Aotun Zhongxiao took out a copy from his sleeve.
The document was handed to Guo Ning calmly: "Jiedu Envoy, please take a look."
Guo Ning took it with a smile and said with a smile: "But I don't know what kind of sincerity it is?"
Having said this, he opened the document and took a look.
It turned out to be a document issued by Wanyan Salara, the commander-in-chief of the Shandong East Road Army, the governor of Yidu and the general manager of the military and horse capital.
The general content of the document is that the main force of the Mongolian army in the middle route is now gathered in the Weizhou, Junzhou, and Huazhou areas, and will either cross the river or move eastward. The Kaifeng Prefecture in Nanjing has already imposed martial law, and the East and West Army Command Divisions in Shandong have
It is also necessary to assemble the entire army and prepare for it. All towns, defense states, and governor states must use all their strength to recruit grain, supplies, soldiers and horses, and send them to Yidu in preparation for the war.
Guo Ning turned the document to the next page.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command has a big appetite. He wants six thousand elite soldiers, thousands of war horses, thousands of sets of armor, swords, guns, bows and crossbows and other equipment, hundreds of thousands of arrows, and a certain amount of money and banknotes.
The last part seems to be newly added, the font is slightly different, it says that it will take half a year of grain.
The list was very long. Guo Ning looked over it twice and laughed loudly: "Wanyan Commander-in-Chief is indeed a veteran and famous minister who has been in Shandong for a long time. He seems to be very familiar with Laizhou's family background, right?"
He handed the document to Chucai, and then turned to Aotun and said, "Serving the country with loyalty is the duty of a minister. In this way, after I go to Laizhou and take office, I will inventory the treasury, military camp, and sure enough, the place
If your savings can be used, then all of them will be transferred to Yidu. How about that?"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
"how to say?"
"Before Wanyan Tongjun went to Yidu, he was the military governor of Dinghai. Laizhou's treasury and military camps had long been emptied to prepare for fighting powerful enemies. This list does not refer to Laizhou's savings, but
After appraising Guo Jiedu's gains in Zhongdu, I scribbled it down. Halfway through, I discovered that there were many omissions in it. Fortunately, Wanyan Tongjun envoy had already authorized it, so I added a few words temporarily and asked Guo Jiedu not to leave them.
Sorry."
Guo Ning's face twitched.
This old man didn't know how to live or die, he was mocking me to my face for cleaning the storehouse in Zhongdu! As for the omission... Did he hear the cowhide I was blowing out when he was halfway there, so he thought I had enough food?
He concealed it a little by stroking his beard and asked with a sneer: "There is nothing missing. It's just that these supplies have been given to Yidu. How can I, the military envoy of the Dinghai Navy, go to Laizhou to take up my post?"
Aotun Zhongxiao smiled and said: "The military order is like a mountain. The soldiers, horses and supplies under Guo Jiedu must be sent to Yidu. Of course, Wanyan Salatong's military envoys have also admired Guo Jiedu's prowess when fighting in Zhongdu.
, it would be better if Guo Jiedu was willing to lead his army to Yidu in person to assist Wanyan’s military commander in resisting the Mongolian army.”
"Whether it's good or bad, I have to think about it carefully. Now there is a difficulty in making plans for Wanyan to command the army."
"Jiedushi just says it."
"Wanyan's military envoy gathered all the soldiers and horses in Shandong at Yidu, and the states east and south of Yidu, such as Deng, Lai, Mi, Ju, Yi, and Hai, were all empty. I heard that Ju, Yi and other places were empty.
Nowadays, the traitor Yang An'er is entrenched, and there are many wealthy local thieves from all over Shandong who are colluding with him. What should be done if they take the opportunity to make a big move? Guo has a duty to defend his territory, so he will naturally try his best to deal with him. But the entire northeast of Shandong
Facing Mongolia, if there are rebels making trouble in the south, the place will inevitably be corrupted. Wanyan led the army to occupy Yidu Mansion, just to protect themselves... How can I explain this to the court? "
