Chapter 355: Borrowing

Wu Dunru ordered Shi Yun to go to Lin'an Mansion, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, to seek an official and a half-position for Guo Jing, of course, he was acting behind Guo Jing's back, otherwise Guo Jing's character would definitely not agree.

As for whether the Son of Heaven and those powerful ministers in Lin'an Mansion will approve Wu Dunru is not worried, those high-ranking places are still drunk and gold-obsessed, "singing backyard flowers across the river", all they care about is whether they can keep their wealth and pleasure now, as for who is fighting on the front line against Mongolia, the life and death of the soldiers have nothing to do with them.

Shi Yun followed his father in the caravan all the year round, and this kind of thing was naturally the most suitable for him, with gold and silver treasures to open the way, rare treasures to pay tribute, Guo Jing is really sincere and sincere anti-Mongolian.

Although the Son of Heaven and those powerful ministers in Lin'an Mansion were mediocre but not idiots, they knew that anti-Mongolian people like Guo Jing could hold on for one more day, and their rich and prosperous pleasures would last one more day, and with bribes, the powerful ministers would not get in the way.

Therefore, Guo Jing's conferral was soon issued, and Guo Jing was appointed as an observer envoy, and he was the official position of a military general of the imperial court, helping to pacify Lu Wende and garrison Xiangyang to resist the Mongol invasion.

Due to the proper operation of fortune, even Wu Dunru got the official position of a military general from the defense envoy of Wupin to assist Guo Jing in garrisoning Xiangyang.

As soon as the holy decree was made, Guo Jing and Wu Dunru were no longer simple whites in the rivers and lakes, and they could only gather some friends in the rivers and lakes to help with their prestige, but they could recruit troops and do a big job.

Today's pattern is very different, although there may be some restrictions on holding official positions, but now that the imperial power is withering, as long as the son of heaven in Lin'an Mansion does not hinder him from having fun, where will he care about how the generals on the front line behave. As long as the ministers are friendly. They don't come to their whiskers for no reason. They also know that the people in the rivers and lakes are all dangerous people who come and go, have high martial arts, and lick blood with knives, how can they go back and take this risk to offend!

Although Guo Jing has a simple personality, what he has in his heart is the national righteousness, and his heart is the family and the country, not foolish loyalty and imperial power, so Wu Dunru is confident that he will gradually change Guo Jing's concept.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, so I don't need to go into detail here. (The jade craftsman does not know much about the official position, if there is a mistake.) Please forgive me. )

When Wu Dunru arranged for these things to be carried out simultaneously, Wu Xiuwen had already followed the secret envoy team led by Batu to the territory of the Tibetan tribes.

Batu's travel team this time is not large, but they are all elite, Arilans, Sukhba Beast, and Iled are all familiar faces, Elder Peng, Jiang Baishou, and Gong Qiang are also accompanied by him, and the dozens of Mongolian warriors accompanying him are also good at one in a hundred.

On this day, the team had already crossed the Shaanxi territory, and Elder Peng urged the horse to run a few steps quickly to Batu's side and whispered, "Lord Batu." I heard that the situation of the Tibetan tribes is different from other places, and the customs and customs are also very different. The last time the adult was on a mission, he was in danger without knowing it. This time, when we enter the territory of the Tibetan tribes, should we find some friendly troops who are familiar with the affairs of Tibet to guide us to make it easier to act. ”

"Well, what Elder Peng said is good. I've been thinking about this for the past few days!" Batu trembled in his heart when he heard Elder Peng mention the situation of the last envoy to the Tibetan tribes, and hurriedly said.

"I wonder who is in charge of the affairs of the Tibetan tribes in the empire?" said Elder Peng tentatively.

"This son, Kuoduan, who has always been His Royal Highness Wokotai before, is responsible for the affairs of the Tibetan tribes. It's just that His Royal Highness Kublai Khan's war against the Southern Song Dynasty has been difficult to win recently, and it was decided to let General Kuduan prepare to attack Shu with his army, and put more pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty. Batu knew that Elder Peng was not very familiar with the internal affairs of the Mongol Empire, so he explained it in detail.

"In that case, General Kuoduan is busy with all things and it is difficult to take care of the affairs of the Tibetan tribes, can your lord ask General Kuoduan for a subordinate who is familiar with the Tibetan tribes to come and assist your lordship?"

"Elder Peng reminded me that General Kuoduan has a General Dalda under him, and he is an old acquaintance with me, and he has some friendship in the past. Moreover, he knows the affairs of the Tibetan tribes well, and I will ask General Kuoduan to send him to be my helper, which will definitely make this mission twice as effective with half the effort. Batu slapped his thigh violently, laughed, and then ordered to turn around and rush to Liangzhou, where Kuoduan was stationed, to ask for manpower.

This trip to Liangzhou was quite smooth, Batu led a group of his subordinates to arrive and was warmly received by General Kuoduan, and the banquet was held for three days, which shows the boldness of the Mongols.

Elder Peng, Jiang Baishou, and Gong Qiang deliberately behaved, and they were all familiar with the generals under Kuoduan, and their purpose in doing this was not only to build a good relationship so that they might be able to use it in the future, but more importantly, to take this opportunity to carefully observe the appearance, body shape, voice, habitual movements, and other details of the other party's people.

Gong Qiang (Meng Yao) is naturally familiar with this, and those who are good at disguise must be extremely good at observation and do not let go of a little detail, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve no flaws in disguise after disguise.

And Elder Peng (Wu Xiuwen) and Jiang Baishou (Lu Wushuang) have now learned the disguise technique with Gong Qiang, and they are naturally practicing deliberately.

Three days later, more than 20 Mongolian soldiers led by Dorda who were very familiar with the Tibetan tribes were added to Batu's team, and the group hurried to the Tibetan tribes.

Taking advantage of the lack of attention, Elder Peng had already sent out some information about the battle plan, troop deployment, and main generals of the Kuoduan offensive against Shu that he had explored in the past three days, presumably Zhu Ziliu would find a way to remind the Shu defenders after getting the information.

Yu Jue, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty who was stationed in Sichuan, as an envoy to pacify the system, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, and the envoy of the Kuizhou Road, was not a character to be messed with, and he had fought with the Mongolian army for many years, winning and losing each other, and holding on to Shu for many years.

With the assistance of this intelligence this time, Yu Jue can definitely win a beautiful battle, so that the Mongolian army will suffer another big loss after Xiangyang.

On this day, the team was moving forward on the official road, next to the team a seller with a load of goods shouted in his mouth and walked over, and found that the opposite side was a group of Mongolian soldiers riding high-headed horses, his eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly stood on the edge of the official road with a panicked face to get out of the way, his head slightly lowered as if he did not dare to look at the murderous Mongolian troops.

But his slightly lowered eyes were looking at the Mongolian soldiers with hatred, calculating the strength of the other party in his heart, and constantly wondering whether he could take it.

Elder Peng was sitting on his horse chatting with General Dalda, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the merchant standing on the side of the road, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. But Dorda interrupted his train of thought just as he spoke, and he didn't have time to think about it. (To be continued......)
