Chapter 451 Degree

Why is Guo Ning here?

Yin Chang was stunned for a moment, seeing Guo Ning approaching with a smile, he quickly bowed and saluted: "See Jieshuai!"

Behind Yin Chang, there are two rows of civil and military personnel, all capable generals under his command.

These people didn't even expect that this unassuming young man was the legendary Dinghai Guo Ning.After being stunned for a long time, he knelt down and bowed: "See you handsome Jie!"

Guo Ning took two steps forward, helped Yin Chang, and smiled at the others: "Excuse me, excuse me, today I am an unexpected guest. Let's not act like a public servant, just treat it as a meeting between friends."

A few more important subordinates are fine, a group of low-level officers have been with Yin Chang for a long time, and they are used to sitting on the ground in Binzhou, and they are a little ignorant of the sky and the earth.Hearing that Guo Ning was so polite, he actually stopped saluting and stood up.

Yin Chang wanted to turn around and scold him, but Guo Ning's palm tightened slightly: "Haha, General Yin, you don't have to be so extravagant."

He walked to the center of the crowd and looked around. Before Yin Chang was about to introduce him, Guo Ning pointed to one of the handsome men: "You are Li He! I heard that you are good at shooting spears, and you are one of the most romantic people in Binzhou." , haha, seeing you today, it’s really extraordinary.”

Li He responded with a smile: "Jie Shuai is ridiculously praised, I am ashamed to be so!"

Guo Ning turned around slightly, and pointed at a young man: "Look at the dagger hanging by your side, it must be Yang Yue! I heard that you are from Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture. This trip must have helped General Yin a lot. Bar!"

Yang Yue was very measured, and said hastily: "It's only natural to serve my general wholeheartedly."

"It's Jiang Jin, right? I often listen to my friends on the Yanlu Road, telling you about your saber skills."

A strong man with a long knife hanging from his waist patted his chest: "It's me, Jiang!"'

Guo Ning casually pointed to several generals and reported their names one by one.Of course these people have such talents, but their fame is limited to Binzhou. Compared with Guo Ning, who is rampant in Hebei and Shandong, it is really far away.

However, when Guo Ning mentioned their specialties or backgrounds, they were so precious, and there was nothing wrong with them.

When the generals were all smiling, Guo Ning nodded slightly to a green-robed scholar: "My step must be Mr. Zhang Yanzhang. I heard that you are a great talent in charge of taxes and money..."

The Confucian scholar waved his hands in fear: "Don't dare, dare not. Like Mr. Jin Qing from Laizhou, Fang is a great talent. I'm just doing some small calculations for my master!"

"Haha, haha, be humble, be humble."

Guo Ning was about to talk to a few more people, when the shouts of the boatmen came from behind, it turned out that the whole group of boats in the front had already berthed securely, and some impatient boatmen directly put on the long wooden planks that passed by, and were using their oars He knocked on the ship's side, urging the strong men on the shore to come up and carry it quickly.

Guo Ning was so familiar with the characters of his own army, which surprised Yin Chang far more than his subordinates.He didn't get out of the surprise until now, and he was afraid that those rough people would say something they shouldn't say in front of Guo Ning, so he hurriedly urged them: "Hurry up and take someone to carry it, don't delay!"

The group immediately took orders and left without saying goodbye to Guo Ning.

Yin Chang sighed, and said to Guo Ning: "Don't blame Jie Shuai. My subordinates are used to being reckless and don't know much about etiquette."

Guo Ning waved his hands indifferently: "I am also a man who started in the grass, why should we care about those trivial matters?"

The two stood where they were and looked at the busy dock.Yin Chang said again: "Jie Shuai has come so far, I wonder if he will be tired? Why don't you go to my camp and let me buy some food and entertain you?"

"Ah, no need, those ships in the back are a little bit important, I have to watch them."

Guo Ning responded casually, took two steps towards Gao Po, and continued to look out.

Yin Chang felt a little strange, but he had no choice but to accompany him.

The two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Yin Chang had nothing to say, and praised: "With the prestige of Jieshuai, he knows so much about the civil and military affairs of my small place in Binzhou, and he is so respectful to corporals. It is really a blessing in Shandong."

Guo Ning shook his head again and again: "Where, where, the reason why I know the situation of the heroes in Binzhou... General Yin, do you know the reason for this?"

"It seems that there must be some special reason? Let's ask Jieshuai to tell me, and I will listen with all my ears." Yin Chang teased.

"Haha, it was the son who told me."

Guo Ning turned sideways with a smile, and looked at Yin Chang: "General Yin, your son is smart and cute, and he will be able to inherit the family business and gain fame in the future."

These words were spoken peacefully.But when it fell into Yin Chang's ears, it was like a heavy hammer, which made his eyes stare.We are all veterans, this kind of topic is easy to understand, so why do we need to say more?

In an instant, Yin Chang took two steps back, bowed his body slightly, and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, showing an obvious vigilance posture.

Guo Ning was still smiling.

And Yin Chang gritted his teeth, and asked word by word: "Jie Shuai, is the ideological and political affairs in your hands?"

It turned out that Yin Chang had two daughters with Fa's wife in his early years. Later, Fa's wife died young, and he married a daughter of the Hu family in Binzhou. After that, he took many concubines, but the concubines had nothing until Yin Chang was 40 years old. , the Hu family had a son, named Yin Sizheng.This child was smart and smart since he was a child, and he was loved by Yin Chang and his wife like a treasure, and they wished they could hold it in their hands.

In order to protect his independence, Yin Chang never even introduced Guo Ning to his subordinates.It was because Guo Ning came here in person today that the two sides bumped into each other.

So, how did Guo Ning meet my son?
Ideology and politics should have been in Binzhou!

Yin Chang felt cold all over his body, and his voice trembled when he spoke.He asked again: "Jie Shuai, why did you meet my ideological and political child?"

"General Yin will be an official in Jinan in the future, and his family and relatives will stay in Binzhou. How can we rest assured? So before I supervise the transportation of grain and fodder this time, I went to Binzhou first, and invited my wife, nephew Sizheng and others. Haha, Sizheng He is really smart, and he knows everything when asked. I have had a great time with him along the way.”

Guo Ning was still very relaxed and showed no hostile gesture at all. He even turned his back to Yin Chang and pointed to the boats on the Xiaoqing River.

"General Yin's family members, relatives, and relatives of those civil and military subordinates just now are all on those ships."

Having said that, he raised his voice: "General Yin, look! Look! Sizheng is waving at us!"

Yin Chang strode forward, and sure enough, he saw the prow of a large ship behind the fleet, a kid in luxurious clothes was laughing and jumping, waving repeatedly in the direction of the two of them.

Beside him, several of Yin Chang's concubines, as well as the familiar nanny and servants all opened their arms, carefully surrounding the child, for fear that the child would not be able to stand firmly on the boat.

Yin Chang's face changed again and again, but he saw Guo Ning beside him waving in response, and Yin Sizheng laughed even more when he saw Guo Ning's actions.

At the same time, relatives of generals also came out from other ships, which immediately aroused the surprise of the outside world.

Li He, Yang Yue and other subordinates didn't expect this to happen at all. Some people hurried along the embankment to look around, and some people looked back at Yin Chang in a daze.

Damn, what am I doing?
What Jinan recruitment is a bait!This is a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain!

Needless to say, Binzhou is no longer in my hands!
He changed his mind and thought again, even if the whole army is out, the Binzhou side is also the basis of my business for many years, why did I lose it?How could Guo Ning have such means?
Although there was chaos in his mind, Yin Chang was a veteran after all, so he could still suppress his emotions at this moment: "Jie Shuai, what do you mean?"

Guo Ning's smile was still there, but his eyes gradually became solemn, and finally he said in a deep voice: "General Yin, in the territory of Shandong East Road, there are only the rules of our Changzhou Guo Ning. Since General Yin has joined the Ding Navy, he must follow this rule. Shandong In the territory of Donglu, no military state can act on its own, and neither can Binzhou."

The so-called picture is poor, and it is probably like this.

This Guo Ning is really not a simple character, I misread it before!He is a hero!
It's the kind of hero who can turn his face tomorrow after finishing talking today!

Countless thoughts flashed through Yin Chang's mind. He thought that his family might lose its military power and become a bird in a cage; he thought that the soldiers in Binzhou might be split up immediately and sent to each department to serve as a replacement.

He was a little sad, a little desperate, a little regretful that he shouldn't have betrayed Li Quan, and he was glad that he betrayed Li Quan in time.

He slowed down his tone again: "Jie Shuai, how are you doing? But there are orders, as long as I can do it, I will never frown."

Guo Ning was patient: "General Yin, don't get me wrong, I never meant to make things difficult for you. As I said just now, General Yin will be an official in Jinan Prefecture, and his family and relatives have always been in Binzhou. The distance between the two places is not good. Therefore, I That’s why I escorted your family members all the way here.”

Yin Chang immediately grasped the gist of the words.

"Jieshuai means that my ideological and political child and family members will be handed over to me?"

Guo Ning couldn't help laughing: "That's natural, otherwise what else can we do? Could it be that he is being held as a hostage in Laizhou? I have never done such a thing! General Yin, what are you thinking about!"

Most of Yin Chang's tension suddenly relaxed, he inadvertently raised his hand hanging by the handle of the knife, and made a long bow to Guo Ning: "Then, Commander Jie said, you want me to be an official in Jinan Mansion?"

"It does exist."

Yin Chang let out a long breath.

Thinking of Guo Ning's powerful force in sweeping Shandong, thinking of his methods of silently controlling Binzhou, thinking of his sincerity in promising to his family, Yin Chang really has no heart to fight.

It's no wonder that such a character can shock the central capital, repel the Mongolian army, and sweep the Liaodong rebels... This is really not something a small local tyrant in Binzhou can resist!
He smiled wryly and said: "Jie Shuai, I have been a soldier for half my life, and I only know how to play with knives and guns. If I change to a civilian job in the future, if there is something I can't do, please..."

Guo Ning suddenly opened his mouth, and stared at Yin Chang, showing a dumbfounded expression.

"Huh?" Yin Chang thought he said something wrong, and was taken aback.

"Cough cough..."

Guo Ning coughed twice, and said seriously: "I said before that Jinan Prefecture is an important place, and it must be guarded by experienced and famous generals. So..."

He took out a brocade pouch from his sleeve, and shook out a small copper seal from the brocade pouch.

Holding the copper seal, he looked at Yin Chang with an embarrassed smile on his face: "This was cast temporarily, but someone has already been sent to inform the Prime Minister Xu Ding of the Central Capital. He will definitely help you with this matter." I'll do it. The successor Ministry of Rites will soon come up with an official official seal."

He took Yin Chang's hand, and put the copper seal in Yin Chang's hand: "Right now, General Yin will make do with it, don't be disgusted."

Yin Chang turned over the copper seal and saw eight characters engraved on it:

"Xingde Army Jiedu envoy's seal".

Xingde Army Jiedushi!This is the third-rank official who has always been in Jinan and is in charge of the military and political power of the Hefu!

"How is it?" Guo Ning was beside him, and said with some shame: "I pressed a little hard, so the burrs on the printing haven't been repaired yet, this, this..."

Yin Chang held the bronze seal in his hand, sighed, knelt down formally, and bowed to Guo Ning.
