Chapter 17 Swinger
"I see!"

Li Ting understood what Guo Ning's overall plan was like.

He didn't respond, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

"So what is this? Liulang, Li Er, what charades are you playing?"

"That's right, the more I listen, the more confused I become."

Some people were puzzled, and some asked questions.

Li Ting's younger brother, Li Yun, said coldly, "Shut up! My brother is thinking!"

The three or four people who spoke immediately fell silent, and the other three or four people turned to look at Guo Ning's expression.

Guo Ning pretended not to see Li Yun's irritable gesture.

Brothers Li Ting and Li Yun are under [-] years old, but they have been able to lead nearly a hundred people to stay in peace during the big defeat in the past two years, and they are willing to follow and serve. It is not easy.Li Ting's character was even more rebellious.

But Guo Ning doesn't care about these.

The people in this room are not villains who do evil, otherwise they would not have close contacts with Guo Ning.But how can there be a leader who can lead his subordinates to struggle for survival in troubled times?Some of them are rebellious, some are deep; some look rough, but they kill without blinking an eye, and some...for example, the Wang Gu who sat by the door, made it clear that he would waver at any time.

Guo Ning has Guo Ning's ideas, and everyone present also has their own ideas.Whether they can conquer their hearts is a matter for the future, and it can be done slowly;

There is no need to think so much at the moment, Guo Ning just wants to temporarily gather them for his own use and break out of the immediate predicament.

He believed that with Li Ting's insight and astuteness, he would definitely know that this was the best way.

The room was silent for a while, only Monk Luo was holding a big bowl, added mutton twice, and was still snoring non-stop.Lu Han scraped the bottom of the pot with a spoon and glared at the fat monk several times.

After a while, Li Ting nodded solemnly: "Good idea, good idea! Guo Liu, you are smarter than I thought!"

Guo Ning smiled: "Duo Meng praised you, Li Erlang is also very clever."

Others said: "What is the idea? Who is the traitor you are talking about? Tell us quickly, don't make us wait for it!"

"Speaking of the rebels of the Great Jin Dynasty...hehe, there are quite a few who have turned up and down in the past few years." Li Ting said slowly: "The only ones I remember are Zhang He from Jizhou and Li Zhi from the Daming Mansion." Research, Yin Xiaoer in Xianzhou, Xu Tong in Mizhou, etc. But the most famous and powerful one is of course our neighbor, the one who is now stationed in Dingxing County, Zhuozhou..."

Several people shouted together: "Yidu Yang An'er!"

In recent years, the governance of the imperial court has been corrupted.On the one hand, the oral tax, material money, and various miscellaneous taxes borne by the people were increased layer by layer, and they tried their best to exploit them, and only used money to fool the people; Hundreds of thousands of hectares of land cultivated by common people for generations were forcibly deprived.That being the case, it is not uncommon to see thieves and bandits everywhere.

The Yang An'er that Li Ting was talking about was a well-known bandit in the contemporary era.

It is said that this gentleman was originally engaged in making saddle materials. People in the city called him Yang An'er, so he named himself Yang An'er.

During the Taihe period, the Song people were good at initiating frontier quarrels, and Yang An'er gathered a crowd, raised troops across Shandong, and plundered the state army in response.Both east and west roads in Shandong were harassed by him. He dispatched troops and generals many times, but suffered a lot. There was nothing he could do about him.

Later, the Song and Jin Dynasties negotiated peace, and the imperial court mobilized a large army into Shandong, which forced Yang An'er to bow his head and surrender.

Because of his elite troops, the imperial court actually gave Yang An'er the vain title of defense envoy, and led more than a thousand of his troops as usual, nicknamed "Tiewa Dare War Army".

The year before last, the imperial court prepared to fight the Mongolian army outside the boundary trench, and urgently mobilized the troops of the southern military divisions to go north for reinforcements.Yang An'er's Tiewa Ganzhan Army is also among them.

When he arrived at the Jiming Mountain area to the north of Dexing Mansion, he could not go in. For this reason, he had conflicts with Wanyan Chengyu, Duji Sizhong and other senior officials and veterans in their official documents, and filed many lawsuits.

Guo Ning, Li Ting and others knew Yang An'er's name because of this.Although this person is a bandit who was recruited not long ago, after all, with the title of Defense Envoy and Deputy Commander, in the eyes of Guo Ning and Li Ting, he is a very high-ranking figure.

Soon after, the imperial army was defeated, and Yang An'er's troops left the battlefield faster than anyone else.More than 1000 people from the Tiewa Ganzhan Army threw off their legs and walked like the wind, until they settled in Dingxing County, Zhuozhou.

Dingxing County is at the southernmost point of Zhuozhou, twenty miles to the south is Ansu Prefecture where Guo Ning lives, and twenty miles to the southeast is Rongcheng County in Anzhou.Wuguan Lake, where Li Ting was entrenched, was in Rongcheng County, so Yang An'er was called a neighbor.

Because of her official status, Yang An'er has a lot of arrogance, the location of the garrison is very close, but she rarely interacts with Guo Ning, Li Ting and others.

At this time Li Ting mentioned Yang An'er, and everyone nodded: "And then?"

"Now that the current situation is corrupt, those of us can see that the imperial court is weak, and I am afraid that the world will be chaotic. Then Yang An'er is a traitor for many years, how can he not see it?" Guo Ning said: "I dare to say, at this moment , this person is already planning to return to Shandong, and he has other plans!"

It is common for the fox to die at the head of the hill, no one doubts it.Only someone asked: "This guy wants to go back to Shandong, what does it have to do with us?"

Guo Ning paused, and raised his voice: "Once this person returns to Shandong, he will be like a dragon swimming in the sea, causing waves on the flat land. As a result, the armies, states, governments, and roads on the east and west roads of Shandong must be in dire straits. In the face of the Mongols going south Under the threat of the situation, the imperial court is bound to be unable to deal with it with all its strength, "

The person who asked the question subconsciously asked again: "And then?"

Everyone else sighed.

Monk Luo stood up and got off the couch, grabbed the man by the shoulders, and made him sit in the corner of the room: "You sit here, don't interrupt. Think about it slowly, and you will understand!"

Turning around, he put his hands on his hips, and took two steps in front of the table: "With Yang An'er making a fuss, we can live in peace for a while. What Liu Lang said is that our way of survival is to serve the court and betray the court. Between. Even..."

Guo Ning glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

Monk Luo immediately shut up, raised his head and laughed, and patted his head: "Shandong is very good, you can go!"

All the people present had escaped from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.Many of their comrades-in-arms, family members and relatives were not in the chaos of the war. Although they had no long-term strategy, they were completely disappointed and tired of the Dajin court.

In the past year, the loose and chaotic situation in the states of Hebei is satisfying their desire to avoid the imperial court.

Now the atmosphere on the front line in northern Xinjiang is getting tense, the imperial court is mobilizing its troops, and the threat of the Mongols is real.It became inevitable for the defeated soldiers to leave Hebei.

However, if the new place of residence is still under the authority of the imperial court, everyone will always be unable to escape the result of being involved in unnecessary wars, and they may be used as scapegoats again.This is unacceptable to anyone.

Just now, Guo Ning spent a lot of time reporting the situation of all parties outside Hebei.The key for him to judge the situation is whether the power of the imperial court is strong in a certain area; and whether there are other powerful enemies outside the imperial court that cannot be resisted.

Only an environment where the imperial court's rule is loose and there is no fear of foreign enemies fighting on a large scale can meet the wishes of the leaders present, and even the countless escaped soldiers in the mountains, and it is the next foothold they are willing to go to.

If a giant bandit like Yang An'er really returns to Shandong to make a fuss.For quite a long time, Shandong will be left in a state of emptiness, just like the situation around Anzhou in the past two years.

Very good, it really is the place that meets the requirements the most.

Sure enough, it is a good place to live and live in troubled times!

Several leaders of the defeated army smiled and said, "Then go to Shandong! Go to Shandong!"

The corner of Li Ting's mouth twitched, and he sneered twice.

When I saw Guo Liulang this time, I felt that his whole person seemed to have been completely reborn, which was quite different from the simple warrior in the past.Now he keeps talking about keeping his life and life alive, saying that he wants to find a way to survive... In fact, what is he thinking, other people can't see it, can't I, Li Ting, not see it?

This guy said that he wanted a temporary stability and led everyone away from the imperial court system.But if the current situation turns upside down, he will be the rebel who takes advantage of the situation!

That's right, Guo Liulang just wanted to seize the opportunity to rebel!In his eyes, Yang An'er is just a tool to wipe out the power of the court, and a pawn to advance the king!

Thinking of this, Li Ting's face became more and more ugly.A pang of regret suddenly appeared in his heart: I am also dissatisfied with the imperial court!It's not like I haven't thought about rebellion!Alas, Guo Liulang took the lead on such a face-saving event!

At this time, Guo Ning asked: "What else does Erlang have to teach?"

Li Ting was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and quickly pulled himself together: "...Shandong may be a possibility. However, I still have a question."

"please say."

"How can you be sure that Yang An'er is about to leave for Shandong? You are not the roundworm in his stomach!"

Regarding Yang An'er's movements, it actually came from Guo Ning's big dream a few days ago.In the dream, Guo Ning had briefly scanned the relevant history books, from which he knew that Yang An'er returned to Shandong from northern Xinjiang and made a huge fuss.It's a pity that after the Song and Jin Dynasties, it was the Great Yuan of Mongolia who won the world, and there was no emperor surnamed Yang, which shows that Yang An'er's ending was probably not good.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to calculate the situation in this world and look for signs that Yang An'er is going to return to Shandong.

Guo Ning was silent for a while, and said: "In the central capital, last year, an order was issued to curb the rout and rectify the frontline. Anzhou, Ansuzhou and the southern line of Zhuozhou, but there has been no movement. Anzhou and Anzhou Ansuzhou is due to Tudan Inspector and Xiao Haohu's own ideas, which led to delays. And the stability in the south of Zhuozhou is because Yang An'er is still planning the next move and does not want to cause trouble. But..."

Guo Ning stretched out his hand and tapped heavily on the map: "Once Yang An'er made up his mind, he would use troops everywhere under the banner of the imperial court to raise food and supplies, enrich the military equipment, and unite the troops. Li Erlang, you are at Wuguandian , have you heard any wind?"

Li Ting frowned.In the past few days, he really didn't pay special attention to the direction of Zhuozhou, but if he wanted to talk about the wind...

While Li Ting was thinking, Dingxing County, Zhuozhou.

Armored soldiers are coming out of the city gate, and cavalry galloping out.

On a high slope outside the city, a gray-robed middle-aged man with sharp eyes said to the generals beside him in a deep voice: "I've been waiting for them for two months! It's still hard to make a decision after two months, and I'm going to kill myself. Who will come? This time we won't delay any longer, we must clear it up as soon as possible!"

　Those who Li Ting mentioned were actually the leaders of the uprising during the Dading period.Use the name, don't need to delve into it...
