Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 145 Northern Territory!North!
Guan Ning didn't take them to stay in the recruit training room for long, and Guan Ning took them back to his big tent.

Although Gu Tingyun felt a little regretful, he could only look away from the training ground reluctantly.

A group of people came to Guan Ning's large tent, and when they were seated, Guan Ning asked directly: "Eunuch Yuan is coming to my guard today, what's the matter?
Guan is just a vulgar person, but Guan also knows that Eunuch Yuan, you just brought these people and things and said that it is a bit unreasonable to say that you are condolences to the injured soldiers on behalf of His Majesty, right? "

Yuan Lijie didn't want to hide from Guan Ning either. After all, what they wanted to ask was impossible to obtain real information by covertly and tentatively. It would be easier to ask directly.

Immediately, Yuan Lijie cupped his hands and said: "Commander Guan is right. Our family really didn't come to condolences this time. This is just an excuse. Otherwise, with His Majesty's handwriting, our family would have to drag several carts of wine, meat or Silver came.

Now that we have talked about this, our family will not hide it from the commander. Our family came to the barracks this time mainly to know information about Tatars! "

"Tartar?"

Guan Ning showed a puzzled expression at the right time.

"Eunuch Yuan, what information do you want to know about Tatar?"

Yuan Lijie's face became extremely serious, and he asked seriously: "Commander Guan, the next question may involve the imperial court's plan for northern Xinjiang, so please tell Commander Guan the truth so that His Majesty can do it." Make the right arrangements, otherwise Prince Yun may not be able to shoulder this responsibility."

Seeing that his expression became so serious and his words were so serious, Guan Ning's expression also became solemn, and he cupped his hands and said solemnly:

"Eunuch Yuan, don't worry, what Guan said today is definitely the truth, there is absolutely nothing to hide!"

"So good!"

Yuan Lijie nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Commander Guan, our family wants to know whether you have caught the Tartars alive during the Tartar invasion. The Tartars have not violated the border for a long time. Why did you suddenly attack Yun?" The states and counties are fighting, is there something tricky in this, or is there any big move by the Tartars?
Commander Guan please answer the above questions truthfully! "

After hearing this, Guan Ning was in a state of contemplation, but secretly laughed in his heart, secretly thinking that it was just as the prince guessed, these people really wanted to ask these questions.

Immediately after being silent for a while, he answered according to the prepared answer as if he had organized his words.

"Back to Eunuch Yuan, our army has captured the Tatars alive in this battle, and we have also been interrogated. We have a general understanding of the cause and effect of the Tatars' attack."

"Oh! How to say?"

Seeing that the relevant news was actually asked, Yuan Lijie and Gu Tingyun who stood behind him were shocked and listened attentively.

Yuan Lijie couldn't wait to ask more questions.

Guan Ning secretly laughed in his heart, but he said calmly as if he was remembering: "According to what the Tartar said in his tongue, it seems that the slave chief of the Tartar royal family has returned to work.

Eunuch Yuan, you must also know that since the Tazi slave chieftain laid down the current sphere of influence, he has gradually indulged in pleasure, and gradually ignored the things in the clan.

In the past few years, with the Tazi group without a leader, not only did the Tazi tribe not expand its power, but the surrounding Xiongnu and even the Yuezhi who were driven out of the grassland by them also began to continuously invade the Tazi's sphere of influence.

The power of the Tartars has plummeted, and it is rare for us in the Song Dynasty to have a period of stability here.

However, as the slave chieftain of the Tatars took over again, in order to let the Tartars regain their prestige and re-establish the deterrent power of the Tartars among the surrounding forces, they chose Da Song as their target.

And even if they want to send troops on a large scale, some early trials are still necessary.

Last year's winter Tartar invasion was their temptation. Originally, what they wanted to test was the defense force of Liaobei County.

Because in the eyes of the Tartars, Yunzhou County has no defensive capabilities at all, they just regard Yunzhou County as a passing point.

But they didn't expect King Yun to come to Yunzhou County, so they just ran into our guards. Under the desperate fight of the brothers, we killed the tentative action of the Tartars in Yunzhou County, and did not let them go. They went to northern Liaoning.

A few days ago we received news that there seemed to be friction between the Tartars and the Da Yuezhi or something?
There should be no time to come to Yunzhou County this year, but the prince said that this is only temporary. When the tartars are free, they will definitely launch another test for Da Song. Knowing that they have found the news they want, they will It will launch an aggression against Song Dynasty.

So our guards are now taking advantage of this gap to quickly train recruits, so as to meet the next temptation after the Tartars are free.

But if the Tartars really start to attack aggressively, then we too..."

Guan Ning didn't finish his sentence, but Yuan Lijie and the others, who were already in a cold sweat, already understood what he meant. If the Tartars attacked directly, Yunzhou County alone might not be able to stop it. The court should do it sooner. Prepare.

They never expected that the northern border of the imperial court was already on the verge of life and death. If it wasn't for King Yun who happened to be a vassal, if it wasn't for King Yun's guards who blocked the Tartar's first temptation, if it wasn't for the Da Yuezhi. Bian happened to have a conflict with the Tatars, which slowed down the Tatars.

If it weren't for this series of things.

Once the Tartars are really allowed to detect the now gradually deserted guarding force in Liaobei County, then when the Tartar army strikes, I am afraid that the court will be caught off guard by surprise, and then it will really come out. It's a big deal!
Yuan Lijie hurriedly got up and bowed to Guan Ning, so frightened that Guan Ning also hurriedly got up and helped him to avoid his bow, and said hurriedly: Hey!Eunuch Yuan, what are you doing, you can't do it!Can't do it!

Yuan Lijie still stubbornly bowed to Guan Ning and said, "This is to thank the commander and the soldiers of the guards for His Majesty Song. If you hadn't blocked the temptation of the Tartars, I would have The Northern Territory of the Song Dynasty does not know what kind of suffering it will suffer. The people on the frontier may have already lost their families and lost their homes!
Commander Guan can afford this gift from our family, and the soldiers can also afford it! "

Guan Ning was helpless, and it was useless to stop him for a long time, so he finally had to accept this gift.

After saluting, Yuan Lijie immediately bowed his hands and said: "Commander Guan, our family will definitely report to His Majesty the truth about the contributions you made to the Song Dynasty in this battle, and ask His Majesty to reward the soldiers of the guard army. You can rest assured about the matter, with His Majesty's wisdom, the support for Yunzhou County will definitely come soon.

The court will definitely not let you fight alone.

In addition, before the support of the imperial court arrives, the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty must be protected by all of you, all of you will have to work hard! "

Although Yuan Lijie was just an eunuch, his godfather Cao Shuang had always taught him that only when the Song Dynasty was well and the emperor was well, could they, the servants who depended on the emperor, live well, so he deeply understood that for the Song Dynasty, what can really be done? What made the Song Dynasty strong was the people who continuously contributed taxes to the court, the soldiers who fought bravely against foreign enemies in the frontier, not the officials in the court!

Only when they get better can Song Dynasty really get better, so Yuan Lijie has always respected the common people and the soldiers stationed on the frontier.

Now the soldiers of the guard army have fought so much against the Tartars in order to defend the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty, which made him feel admirable!
