It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord.

After the retreat of the cowardly Xue army, Wan Yankang has been leading the army to chase closely, trying to swallow this enemy army in one gulp.

But after a quarter of an hour, he resolutely gave the order that the whole army abandon the pursuit.

More than half of the 300 warriors who crossed the river first have been lost, and the remaining warriors have been at the end of their crossbows after fierce fighting.

The army of 30,000 people who crossed the river had soaked in the biting water, and the lower half of their bodies were soaked, and their state had been greatly affected. According to Yan Kang's estimate, if he insisted on pursuing, he would be able to eat most of the enemy army, but his own soldiers would probably face a large area of non-combat attrition.

The most important thing is that although this enemy army retreated without chaos, the part of the cowardly Xue army after the break still broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

After returning to the original camp of the Qiyan Ministry, Wan Yankang quickly organized a fire and asked all the wet people to remove their clothes and dry their bodies, armor, shoes and socks. Then, he ordered his own soldiers to bring Guo Jing to the tent.

When Guo Jing was taken to Wanyankang's tent, he was still tightly tied, his face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy.

Wan Yankang waved his hand to let the soldiers leave first, and then walked in front of Guo Jing, and with a movement of his hands, he tore off the rope on Guo Jing's body, untied his acupoints, and bowed to him: "Brother Guo, I can't stand to see you on the battlefield." ”

Guo Jing opened his mouth to thank him for the first time, but when he thought of something, he stopped talking again, his face turned red, and he pointed at Wan Yankang and yelled: "If you want to kill, kill it, pretend to be a good person!" ”

Wan Yankang shook his head: "Brother Guo, I treat you as if you are my own brother, how can I kill you!" ”

Guo Jing said hatefully: "You recognize the thief as your father, who is a brother with you!" ”

Wan Yankang's face froze, and he was suddenly extremely helpless, this was a dead knot in Guo Jing's heart. He paced around the tent a few times, and first gave an order: "Everyone wait, don't get twenty steps closer to the tent!" ”

After the soldiers outside responded one after another, Wan Yankang sighed faintly: "Brother Guo, are you Han or Mongolian?" ”

Guo Jing said categorically: "Of course I am Han!" ”

"Is Temujin kind to you?"

"My mother and son have been under the command of the Great Khan since childhood, and the Great Khan is as kind to me as a mountain!"

"If one day, Temujin goes south to attack the Song Dynasty, where will you help?"

Guo Jing thought for a while, and said puzzledly: "The Great Khan is an eagle on the grassland, and he is still thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, how could he go south to attack the Song Dynasty?" ”

Wan Yankang sneered: "You grew up on the grassland, have you ever seen a wolf that doesn't eat sheep?" ”

Guo Jing couldn't answer for a while.

Wan Yankang said again: "If Temujin is a vegetarian, how could he send troops to attack my White Horse City last winter?" ”

Guo Jing was silent for a while before he raised his head and said: "The Great Khan is generous, I want to come, I want to come......

Wan Yankang laughed: "I think I provoked him first?" Brother Guo, you are not a three-year-old child, why deceive yourself. Temujin was a hero, and if there was no self in this world, he would be able to dominate the steppe and sweep the world. ”

Guo Jing shook his head: "The Great Khan has the heart to dominate the grassland, but if he says that he will lead his troops to invade the south, I am afraid that it may not be, what is the use of the herdsmen on the grassland to ask for the fields in the south?" ”

Wan Yankang looked at Guo Jing, and then said: "Brother Guo, you grew up in the grassland, have you ever seen herdsmen freeze to death or starve to death?" ”

Guo Jing nodded.

Wan Yankang said: "You have been to the Jin Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, and how do you think the prosperity of these two countries is compared to these thousands of miles of grassland?" ”

"If you talk about prosperity, the Central Plains is far away from the grassland."

"If these herdsmen on the grassland can easily occupy prosperous places such as Zhongdu and Lin'an, are they willing to go back to the grassland to endure the bitter cold?"

"For thousands of years, the war between nomads and agrarian peoples has never stopped. Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, and Han Gaozu Bai Deng was besieged, which shows the prosperity of the Xiongnu soldiers. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a champion Hou Fenyong who marched north, and the Han family had hundreds of years of peace in northern Xinjiang. By the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han dynasty was weak, and there was a disaster of five chaotic China, and all kinds of tragic situations during the period did not need to be mentioned. By the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Turks were strong and prosperous, and they were repeatedly bordered. Without the wisdom and martial arts of Tang Taizong, the Central Plains would have been tragically poisoned, and the cycle would have gone back and forth. ”

Guo Jing was silent for a long time, and said hesitantly: "The Xiongnu and the Turks are just Koubian ......."

Wan Yankang sighed: "A hundred years ago, there was Da Liao, and now there is Da Jin, who didn't start from the bitter cold land in the north, and after occupying the northern land, who doesn't want to dominate the world." Even in the Song Kingdom, there were several times to raise troops and try to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. If the Song State was a few points stronger at that time, and really recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, would the Zhao family continue to fight? ”

"You're right." Guo Jing nodded weakly.

"Brother Guo, if one day, Temujin goes south to attack the Song Dynasty, how should you deal with yourself?"

"Maybe, maybe......" Guo Jing's voice became smaller and smaller.

"If the Song Kingdom is strong and prosperous, can annex the northern lands, invade the grasslands, and when Temujin's life hangs by a thread, will you save it?"

Guo Jing opened his mouth: "I ......" But as soon as I finished speaking, he closed his mouth again, his face was entangled, and it was obviously extremely difficult to choose in his heart.

"Brother Guo, do you know that a hundred years ago, there was a hero named Qiao Feng."

"I know, I've heard the Seventh Duke say it. Qiao Daxia also used to be the leader of the beggar gang back then, and he was brilliant in martial arts, and he was even more righteous. After Guo Jing heard this, Yan Kang suddenly changed the topic, and inexplicably felt relaxed.

"However, do you know that Qiao Daxia committed suicide in the end."

"Ahh Guo Jing exclaimed, Hong Qigong hadn't told him about the second half of Qiao Feng, he really couldn't imagine that a character like Qiao Feng actually committed suicide.

Judging from Guo Jing's reaction, Wan Yankang knew that he didn't know the details, so he told Guo Jing about all his experiences after Qiao Feng's life story was revealed.

Before Qiao Daxia died, he said that he was an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, and he no longer had a face to live in this world, so he chose to live in this life. Brother Guo, do you think Qiao Daxia is an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person? ”

Guo Jing shook his head, a trace of tears in his eyes.

Wan Yankang sighed: "In my heart, Qiao Daxia is a big hero, but in life, there are always many helplessness and entanglements. ”

Guo Jing seemed to understand what Wan Yankang meant, he thought about it, and finally felt uneasy, and he was still a little indignant: "Wan Yankang, how can you compare yourself with Qiao Daxia!" ”

Wan Yankang shook his head: "Qiao Daxia is a big hero, I'm not." Brother Guo, I just want to tell you that there are so many black and white in the adult world. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "Throughout the ages, those who want to achieve great things have never been informal. ”

Guo Jing said angrily: "Then you can't recognize the thief as your father!" ”

"The one who gave birth to me, the Yang family, the one who raised me, the one who finished the face. How can we confess a thief as a father? ”

Guo Jing's face turned red: "My father was killed by Wanyan Honglie's dog thief design!" ”

Wan Yankang sighed, no matter what, this was a question he couldn't avoid, and he looked at Guo Jing with a little guilt: "Brother Guo, I know that the hatred of killing my father is not shared." But as the Son of Man, I will protect him no matter what. ”

Guo Jing glared at Wan Yankang without showing weakness: "If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" ”

"You and I are brothers with different surnames, why should I kill you?"

"If you don't kill me, I'll take Yan Honglie's dog life sooner or later!"

Wan Yankang knew that he couldn't convince Guo Jing on this issue, so he simply put aside the topic: "Brother Guo, I have a battlefield duel with Temujin, you may stand by and watch?" ”

According to Wan Yankang's intentions, if Guo Jing promised not to interfere in the war, he would be ready to release Guo Jing. For Guo Jing, Wan Yankang always felt guilty, after all, whether it was trying to protect Wan Yan Honglie or Huang Rong, Wan Yankang felt that he owed Guo Jing too much.

Guo Jing thought about it, his mouth was tightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

Wan Yankang knew that Guo Jing was honest by nature, and if he didn't answer at this time, he couldn't promise himself, so he said: "Offended!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Jing's chest.

Guo Jing saw that Yan Kang suddenly made a move, and subconsciously made a move to block, but with his martial arts, where was Wan Yan Kang's opponent. However, after three moves and two styles, Yan Kang opened Guo Jing's shelf, hit several key points on his chest, sealed his true qi, but still retained Guo Jing's ability to act.

Guo Jing found that he could still move, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Who are you?" ”

Wan Yankang sighed: "Brother Guo, early tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to attack Temujin. You grew up in Qiyan since you were a child, and you always have a few good friends. When the time comes, if you want to spare anyone's life, just keep your voice open. Except for Temujin himself, I can save the lives of three people in your face! ”

Guo Jing wanted to say that I won't beg you, but the faces of Tuo Lei, Hua Zheng and others suddenly flashed in his mind, so he put back the hard words that came to his lips.

Wan Yankang saw that Guo Jing didn't speak, but there was something different in his eyes, so he took the initiative to speak up again: "Brother Guo, have you ever heard a sentence, the general trend of the world, together for a long time, it must be divided, and it must be divided for a long time." ”

Guo Jing shook his head and said nothing.

Wan Yankang said: "In the world back then, Jin and Song were the strongest, followed by Qiyan and Western Xia, and in addition, Tubo and Dali all had the power to fight. For hundreds of years, the world has been in turmoil, turmoil, and displacement. My life's ambition is to dominate the world and recreate a bright future. A few small sections, I really can't take care of them, and I hope Brother Guo will forgive me. ”

After saying this, Wan Yankang stepped aside, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.

After a while, Guo Jing suddenly said loudly: "If you win, you can really spare the lives of three people, no matter who it is?" ”

In Guo Jing's heart, he originally thought that with the prosperity of Temujin's troops, Wanyan Kang was probably not his opponent, but the result of the battle between the two armies this night was a great defeat and loss for the Qiyan Army, and he couldn't help but think of the end of Temujin's defeat.

Temujin, Tuolei, Huazheng, Jebe, Muhuali...... These faces kept coming to Guo Jing's mind.

Wan Yan Kang replied: "Except for Temujin, no matter who it is, everyone can avoid death." ”

"Why can't the Great Khan?"

Wan Yankang smiled: "Brother Guo, if you can persuade Temujin to surrender at that time, I will not be unable to tolerate him." ”

Guo Jing was speechless for a moment, he knew that with Temujin's temperament, it was impossible for him to surrender to others.

As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one must be injured. After the war between Yan Kang and Temujin, it was not just a wound, and it was destined to end in the complete destruction of one side!

Although Guo Jing is a little clumsy, he is by no means a stupid person. After he figured out the position of Yan Kang and Temujin, he knew that Wan Yan Kang's commitment to him was commendable.

So, he sighed, but there was no sound.
