Chapter 188 Before and After
After Guo Zhongyuan took refuge in Guo Ning, he was only regarded as a lucky general who got rid of Hu Shahu inexplicably at first.
Later, Guo Ning realized that this old soldier in his 30s was not easy.He is the leader of ordinary soldiers in Zhongdu City, and also a light chivalrous figure in the market.
Although his status is not high, for a long time he must speak well, and he is fair and righteous, but his prestige is very high, similar to the situation of Guo Ning in the Hebei rout.
So Guo Ning entrusted him to come forward to recruit experienced veterans inside and outside the central capital.
Guo Ning asked him if he could recruit 1000 people.Guo Zhongyuan replied: "Yes, I can recruit two thousand."
In the end, there were more than [-] people who came to Zhigu Village one after another and joined Guo Ning's command, all of them were good men who had experienced fighting and fighting.
At that time, Guo Ning's army was fighting in the city, and it was quite damaged. The strength of the army was only in the early [-]s, and the number of subordinates recruited by Guo Zhongyuan alone was almost equal to the number of Guo Ning's defeated troops in Hebei.Such appeal is really surprising.
The two thousand and 400 people in the central capital were quickly divided up by various ministries, and Guo Zhongyuan was transferred to Guo Ning's headquarters and became a general.
But he is not like Zhao Xin and Chen Ran who are very close to Guo Ning, but he is always sent by Guo Ning to deal with various complicated and trivial affairs in the army.
For example, after entering Laizhou, the army attacked and captured many prisoners.Guo Ning asked Guo Zhongyuan, can you manage all those captives with a hundred people under your command?
Guo Zhongyuan said: "Yes."
These captives were immediately placed under Guo Zhongyuan's control.
Guo Ning's troops did not kill indiscriminately, so among the captives, it is inevitable that there are hob meat, stunned young men, heroes who want to die, and experts who make trouble.Guo Zhongyuan's soldiers came to block the water and cover them with soil, and they managed to subdue many people. Thousands of people were busy repairing bridges and roads every day.
Some of Guo Zhongyuan's former companions felt that Guo Zhongyuan's talents should not be limited to these chores, so they told him in private, or else, ask Li Erlang if there is a need for a deputy commander.Wouldn't it be better than being under Guo Jiedu's command and doing these obscure chores all day long?
Guo Zhongyuan ignored this, but continued to run with his head covered.
A few days ago, the generals of Guo Ning's headquarters were busy with military training, and generals like Ru Xiao Mole hardly cared about arranging shade households for themselves.
Guo Ning called Guo Zhongyuan again and asked, "Can you make arrangements for the distribution of private households and the selection of fields for the officers and men of the headquarters within three days?"
Guo Zhongyuan said: "Yes, two days is enough."
Guo Ning handed over the matter to Guo Zhongyuan.
Within two days, Guo Zhongyuan arranged these things properly, and the shady households agreed that it was in order, and the officers and men of the headquarters took time to see the distribution of shady households and fields, and they were not dissatisfied.
One day during this period, because of the Mongolian army's attack, Guo Ning called on the people, and then many of the local young men enthusiastically joined the army, and Guo Zhongyuan took the headquarters to train the young men.
One day, Guo Ning recruited Guo Zhongyuan again: "The Mongolian army is suppressing the border, and our troops can't move without authorization. But I need a team to cooperate with the vehicles, and pretend to be the main force of our army to go to Yidu to test the Mongolian army. Zhong Yuan, where do you think this team should come from?"
Guo Zhongyuan responded: "Among the captives, there are those who want to atone for their sins, and among the strong men, there are those who want to serve. If you want to pretend to be the main force of Jieshuai, you will draw three thousand from the captives and two thousand from the strong men, and I will lead them." One line, there will be no mistakes."
Guo Ning said with a smile: "Zhong Yuan's thinking is just like Jin Qing's. It's just..."
"What doubts does Jieshuai have?"
"Since it's to scare the snake, it will inevitably lead to 'snakes'. If it is bitten by a snake, firstly, a flaw will appear, and secondly, the human hand will be damaged in vain. I am not happy to see it."
Guo Zhongyuan responded: "The Mongols have been fighting in Hebei and the Central Plains for several months, and they have gained a lot of experience. How can they easily use their own elite? Jieshuai's move is to test; then I guess, the response of the Mongols is also a test. They just sent a few soldiers and generals to fight... Those people are just local tyrants from earlier, trembling with the prestige of the Mongolian army. I am not afraid."
"It's not enough just not to be afraid, it's better to show some prestige, so that people can be sure that the main force of our army is here."
"This...cough cough, Jie Shuai, but you can't promise it blindly. You have to give me a team of people who can fight tough battles."
Guo Ning laughed, and gave Guo Zhongyuan a military talisman to make him act according to his plan. He also sent Xiao Mole, another general from the headquarters, to lead his troops as Guo Zhongyuan's deputy.
Guo Zhongyuan took this improvised force and rushed all the way to Yidu Mansion with great fanfare.At this time, the position of the soldiers and horses was at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, more than forty miles southeast of Yidu City.
There are many mountains in Yidu Prefecture, but most of the towering and steep ones are in the southwest.The entire eastern suburb is surrounded by continuous hills, but they are not high and steep. Only the lonely peak of Xiangshan Mountain stands alone and stands childishly.
With the sound of drums and horns, the army and horses stopped and occupied the pass, while the generals under their command rushed to the position where the army flag was.
The generals were a little away from the headquarters, and in the queue of [-] soldiers, there was a lot of non-stop talking, and there were small officers everywhere shouting to order to calm down, but the effect of the shouting was mediocre, Guo Zhongyuan could hear some soldiers talking back Yes, I can also see that several military flags are also shaking.
After all, this is a makeshift team, and they haven't gone through a few days of training, so they can never be compared with real strong soldiers.When marching, you can't see any flaws, but when you encounter the enemy, you will immediately show a little confusion.
At this time, we must use powerful means to suppress the turmoil immediately!
Guo Zhongyuan quickly sent out scouts again, let them ride lightly on fast horses, go around the rear of the enemy to see if there are any successors and horses, and strictly ordered them not to entangle along the way, and go back quickly.
When the scouts left, the generals had already arrived and lined up in two rows before Guo Zhongyuan's horse.
Guo Zhongyuan is a weather-beaten old soldier, with scars and wrinkles on his face, and his appearance is a bit shabby.Even standing under Lie Lie's flag, reining in his horse, he didn't look particularly majestic.But he immediately took out a golden knife from his waist and held it in his hand.
All the generals and schools knew that the golden knife was a gift from Guo Ning's old friend before his death. Guo Ning wore it on a daily basis, and only replaced it with iron boneduo and other heavy weapons when fighting.When he was in Zhongdu that day, Monk Luo was ordered to lead troops into the palace to rectify the order and suppress the rebellious soldiers. Guo Ning gave him a golden knife and a bone, allowing him to play by ear and kill them.
In an instant, everyone was in awe.
Holding the golden saber, Guo Zhongyuan asked, "Where is Xiao Mole?"
"Xiao is here." Xiao Mole came out.
Guo Zhongyuan handed the golden knife forward: "The ranger came to report that the Mongolian army is thirty miles away, and there are more than one thousand troops in the front. They are all descended troops. We will encounter them when we cross the Xiangshan pass. Since the war is about to start , Xiao Du will hold this golden saber to monitor the formation, if anyone disobeys the military law and disrupts our formation, no matter ten or a hundred people, there is no need to report, and he will be beheaded immediately!"
Xiao Mole used to be Han Renqing's trusted subordinate, and this golden saber was Han Renqing's relic.He took the golden knife without hesitation, and said solemnly: "Observe!"
"Go! I'm here, let's see how you monitor the array!"
Xiao Mole took the knife and went, Guo Zhongyuan waited silently.
In an instant, suppressed exclamations came and went from all over the queue.Xiao Mole led dozens of cavalry, galloping through the ranks with swords flashing, whenever he saw someone talking nonsense, he dragged them out of the ranks without saying a word, and took the lead on the spot.
Dozens of riders made a big circle and returned to Guo Zhongyuan.More than 30 people died in the entire queue, all of them were decapitated, their heads were still rolling around beside the road, and the smell of blood was suffocating.
The whole army was in awe, and there was no more words, not to mention that the military flag was no longer shaken, and even the spears held high did not shake a bit.
Ever since Guo Ning established his army at the Feijunhe camp, he has paid attention to a strict military discipline, with heavy rewards and heavy punishments.Every time before and after a war, those who do not obey the military law will always be found out and dealt with severely.But like Guo Zhongyuan, who didn't declare at all, but killed directly, it was not strictly strict, but harsh.
But the 5000 people in front of them just eat this set.
Most of those people were captives, who were forced to surrender after being terrified by Guo Ning's men.
In just over ten days, it is simply a dream to expect them to attach themselves wholeheartedly to Ding Haijun.When Guo Zhongyuan summoned them, he had already said:
If this trip is successful, everyone will be liberated, and everyone will have military registration; those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded extra.
And during this trip, those who dared to disobey orders had no army sticks, nor did they have the tricks of piercing the ear camp, only one kill!
