Chapter 144 Official Position

The shouts of the generals spread far away, echoed between the towering walls of Xuanhuamen, and reached the bottom of the city tower.

Previously, Guo Ning assigned Jing'an Min's troops to guard the outer wall of the palace city, while Li Ting's troops were in charge of patrolling.Li Ting then dispatched capable men to divide the [-] soldiers into six teams, sending out one team every second to patrol the city wall, and rotating one team every hour.

These soldiers are all good players in the army, all of them can be called tigers and wolves, and they have all been on the battlefield.They held their swords in their armor, and walked away with clanging armor, which was really murderous and eye-catching.

But Li Ting himself was lazy.

Guo Ning and other generals are not natives of Zhongdu Daxing Mansion, but Li Ting is, and he is also a well-known local hooligan in Zhongdu.So even though he was stationed in Xuanhuamen, he got in touch with a few old friends of his family, and then got a few roast chickens and a sheep, and he was hiding in a corner with his companions to feast on them, enjoying themselves.

Suddenly he heard all the generals above shouting in unison, he was startled: "What's the matter? What is the general's order, so solemn?"

One of his empress stood up and said, "Let me ask."

"No, there must be something big!" Li Ting rushed out.

He ran along the climbing path, made two turns, and arrived at the bottom of the city platform where Guo Ning and others were. Seeing the generals saluting, he quickly shouted: "Count me in!"

After yelling, he realized that he was holding a fat chicken leg in his hand, which was very disrespectful.He didn't care to think about it, he saw a figure of a soldier beside him, he didn't care who that person was, he directly stuffed the chicken leg into the man's hand, then rushed up to the platform, and continued to yell: "Is there a fight? Don't leave me behind, Li Erlang!"

The soldier next to him had a knife scar on his face, and he looked quite weather-beaten. It was Guo Zhongyuan who had been summoned by Guo Ning before and came here specially to meet him.

Standing under the tower, Guo Zhongyuan was holding his breath, waiting for the guards to report, when he suddenly saw Li Ting rushing up, yelling.

Yesterday he was the first to attack the tower of Donghua Gate, and then pushed the iron cannon, killing Hu Shahu, and he made a great contribution. Guo Ning has met him specially to comfort him.However, Li Ting's troops suffered heavy battles and suffered heavy losses. They had already gone to rest, so the two did not meet each other.

Seeing his old friend suddenly at this moment, he hesitated, wanting to say hello; before he could say anything, Li Ting passed by in a blur before his eyes.In Guo Zhongyuan's hand, there was an extra piece of oil-soaked and fragrant chicken leg.

Several guards around were snickering, Guo Zhongyuan's face changed twice, and he only sighed: "Li Erlang is always harmful!"

At this moment, people on the city platform could hear the words, it seemed that Guo Ning was asking for everyone's opinions, and all the generals responded one after another.

The guard who had gone to report the previous time came back and said, "Guo Zhongyuan? Your lord is here to invite you."

"Yes!" Guo Zhongyuan put the drumsticks in his sleeves and walked up quickly.

As he walked up the stone steps, Guo Ning's voice became clearer and clearer. His tone was very relaxed, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Watching Guo Zhongyuan walk up to the tower, Guo Ning said to Li Ting with a smile, "I'll tell you the truth, I have a candidate who is much more suitable than you for recruiting troops in Zhongdu!"

Li Ting shook his head again and again: "That's impossible!"

As soon as the words fell, Guo Zhongyuan stood beside Li Ting: "Guo Zhongyuan pays homage to Mr. Lang."

Now it was Li Ting's turn to be dumbfounded.

When Li Ting was a gangster in Zhongdu, Guo Zhongyuan's prestige and status were higher than Li Ting's, and Li Ting himself made some money by reselling stolen goods for Guo Zhongyuan.Seeing Guo Zhongyuan suddenly, he was surprised and happy, but also a little depressed, and sighed in his heart: "With Boss Guo here, it's really not my turn to recruit soldiers!"

Guo Zhongyuan had a calm demeanor and completely ignored Li Ting: "Your Majesty wants to recruit troops, and Guo is willing to help."

Guo Ning was not polite: "My department entered Zhongdu yesterday. There are losses and additions. In the future, I will transfer to Laizhou, Shandong. At present, there are more than [-] troops, which is not enough. I heard that you are a famous person in Zhongdu. Although he is a general in the military guards, he is trusted by others. Let me ask you, how many old soldiers who have fought, killed, and have courage can you recruit for me?"

"Then, sir, you should ask how many people you need, not how many people I can recruit."

Guo Ning laughed: "Guo Zhongyuan, you cowhide, don't you think you blow too loudly?"

"I am telling the truth."

"Oh?" Guo Ning looked around at the generals, and said again: "Well, I will move out of the city today, and I estimate that within ten days, I will leave for Laizhou. I will give you five days, and you can recruit someone for me. Thousands of elite soldiers? I want those who can really fight, but not ruffians!"

"Since the third year of Da'an, there have been no fewer than ten thousand soldiers who have been defeated from northern Xinjiang and entered Hebei in the central capital. Among these ten thousand people, there are no fewer than a few thousand who have no food to eat and live in poverty. Mr. Guo Lang One of the best soldiers in the northern border, when you climb up, you will naturally respond. In addition, I, Guo Zhongyuan, have a small reputation in the ordinary army in the capital city... I can recruit 2000 people for Mr. Wang."

Guo Ning smiled: "Okay, you will get some money in a while and do this for me!"

Guo Zhongyuan didn't refuse, didn't ask any more questions, he made a deep bow, turned around and stood down.

While turning around, he nodded slightly to Li Ting.

Li Ting grinned, and was about to say something in a low voice, when suddenly his palms felt cold, and the fat chicken leg was stuffed back by Guo Zhongyuan.

Guo Ning clapped his hands: "In this case, the number of soldiers is not a problem. The arrangement of the personnel is roughly like this. Brother Anmin will be the deputy envoy of Jiedu, brother Jinqing will be the judge of Jiedu, and Mr. Jinzhi will be the judge of the inspection. The rest of the bureaucrats are slowly re-installed. The soldiers and horses under the Jiedushi will not set up a commander for the time being, with Monk Luo as the head, Li Ting as the second, and then Wang Shixian, Han Xuan, Qiu Huiluo, Hao Duan, and Ma Bao. , are all commanders. Hmm...Brother Anmin might as well think about it, and you can send another person to make up eight commanders."

Jing Anmin nodded, then shook his head again: "Only Hao Duan and Ma Bao are suitable for me. Let's talk about the vacant positions later!"

Guo Ning was slightly surprised, and turned to look at Jing Anmin.

Jing Anmin bowed his hands solemnly.

Guo Ning smiled and said, "That's good!"

Jinganmin itself is a great man in Hebei. Long before the rise of Guo Ning, his power had affected half of Zhuozhou. When his power was at its strongest, Zhuozhou governor Niangaozhen was completely emptied by him, and even the Dajin Emperor in the northern mountainous area of ​​Zhuozhou The area around the mausoleum is within his control.In terms of strength, it is at the same level as Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou.

But he is very different from Miao Daorun and Zhang Rou.

Miao and Zhang are natives of Yizhou and Dingzhou. Their power comes from the clan's tens of hundreds of years of business operations, and they have long been rooted in Hebei.That's why they are willing to stay in the central capital, because they are in the center, and relying on local forces close at hand is a reliable means of gaining a foothold in the chaos.

Jing'an Min was from a defeated soldier in the Dexing Mansion.Most of his relatives and family members have long been separated from him because of Da Jin's disastrous defeat behind Monan Mountain.Although Jing'an people have power in Zhuozhou, in the final analysis, his foundation is not in the locality, but in his force.

He is a person who struggles to survive in the troubled times by relying on the force of the defeated soldiers.In this regard, he is the same as Guo Ning.

Because of the same, he can feel more and more that there is an insurmountable gap between him and Guo Ning.

Earlier, Guo Ning captured Yang An'er's general Ji Junli alive in the old city store, and forced Yang You and Guo Yaoer to retreat. At that time, Jing'an people didn't pay much attention to Guo Ning.

Then Guo Ning defeated Hu Shahu's private soldiers and forced Yang An'er, who rebelled, to retreat. Although Jing Anmin took the opportunity to take down Fan Yangcheng, he admired Guo Ning in his heart.

Later, in just over ten days, Guo Ning hijacked the promotion of the king, defeated the fourth Mongolian prince Tuo Lei, and killed Hu Shahu in the middle of the attack. How straightforward was this series of victories!Not to mention, Guo Ning also found the future direction for the people who escaped into the pond to escape the Mongolian army.Can anyone in Tangbo do such a thing?

Don't say it can be done, no one dares to even think about it!

Jing Anmin obeyed from the bottom of his heart, so he was willing to stand with Guo Ning.At this time, he is also willing to lower his profile and regard Guo Ning as the leader.

Guo Ning was also very polite to Jing Anmin. He not only clarified his status above everyone else, but also reserved enough places for him among the commanders who actually lead the army.

That's enough.

Jing Anmin is not an ambitious person, and he knows the truth of reciprocating: "From this point of view, there is only one difficulty left."

"Brother Anmin, what's the problem?"

"I don't know how the Mongolian army is moving... If the Mongolian army is rampant in Hebei and the Central Plains, blocking the road, how can we go to Laizhou?"
