Chapter XII

Under the vigorous promotion of the current emperor, the sinicization of the Jin country has become very deep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEspecially those high-ranking officials and nobles, when they usually drink and have fun, they don't forget to compose poems and sing harmony.

Since Wanyan Honglie wanted to win over Xie Wenzhou, he found a number of well-educated people to accompany him. The two sides made an in-depth discussion on the aspects of poetry and songs that do not involve mushrooms, and several people talked about the past and the present, so it was not lively. Only Wanyan Kang's soul does not keep to it, and his life is like a year.

Finally, after the guests and hosts were happy, Xie Wenzhou took Guo Jing out of the house in a staggered manner. Wan Yankang let out a long breath. I relaxed.

Wanyan Honglie looked back and saw him like this, and asked with concern: "Kang'er, you didn't talk much just now, and now your face is pale, are you uncomfortable?" Or are you sick? Someone, call the Imperial Doctor to come over........"

"No, Father, I just haven't rested well, just wait and get some sleep." Wan Yankang lifted his spirits and said, "Father invited the Mongolian envoy today, what did he gain?" ”

"Kang'er should go down and rest first, and talk about these things tomorrow."

Wan Yan Kang hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Wan Yan Honglie's sleeve, and opened his mouth to say something, but he might as well spin the sky for a while, and it was dark.

"Come on, come on! Kang'er, Kang'er, what's wrong with you, too doctor, too doctor! As soon as Yan Honglie turned around, he saw his son fall limply. His heart tightened, and in a panic, he couldn't care about any demeanor, and shouted loudly.

By the time Yan Kang woke up, it was already noon the next day. He stared at the roof for a long time, finally remembering who he was. In the surprised voices of the maids, Wan Yan Kang rushed to Wan Yan Honglie's study. The guards guarding the door did not dare to stop the little prince, so they could only report loudly.

"Hey, Kang'er, you're already tuba? Imperial Physician Li is really extraordinary. ”

"Father, the Mongol envoy ........."

"Well, ask about it as soon as you wake up........ Why, do you think it's possible that Xie Wenzhou will fall to us? ”

Wan Yankang also felt that his performance would give people an abnormal image, he calmed down a little before he said: "Mr. Xie is elegant and elegant, and his conversation is extraordinary. However, the person behind him is a real hero! ”

"Haha," Wanyan Honglie laughed, "I'm not Emperor Wei Wu.........."

"Wait," he suddenly stopped laughing and said to Wan Yankang, "You mean that Guo Jing?" ”

"Father," Wan Yankang took two steps forward and said sincerely: "You think, then Guo Jing is not yet twenty years old, and he is already a general under Temujin, if he is given another ten years, twenty years, wouldn't it be a problem for my Dajin Kingdom's henchmen?" ”

"You think too much," Wan Yan Honglie said disapprehantly: "These barbarians have always been fearless of death, but if they don't have the art of war, they won't be able to become any climate." The reason why the Mongols are in some trouble now is mostly because of Temujin himself. If we had waited another ten years, when Temujin had died, the Mongols would have been torn apart. He is a Song man, in a barbarian land, and he can't make any waves. ”

"But my father ........." Wan Yan Kang wanted to say something, but heard Wan Yan Honglie say: "You are just now, you are still resting, you don't care about these government affairs." Besides, the Mongolian envoy and his party had already left the city this morning. ”

After Yan Kang opened his mouth, after a while, he saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to retreat.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could not miss this God-given opportunity, so he privately mobilized his own soldiers, and called Master Qiu Chuji and the Master Lingzhi to chase after him.

Hundreds of horsemen chased for a long time, and finally saw Xie Wen's departure thirty miles outside the city.

Xie Wenzhou heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him like muffled thunder, he glanced back at the fierce pursuers, and said to Guo Jing: "General Guo, what do you mean by these people catching up?" ”

"Probably ill-intentioned."

"Well, I think so too. Then the rest will be left to the general. ”

Guo Jing ordered the mission of more than 30 people to stop and put the carriage in the middle of the road. Most of these Mongols who followed the mission had fought in tribal wars for more than ten years, and although they saw that they were not good, they were not alarmed. In a few moments, the men were arrayed, put on their armor, and held their swords, guns, and bows and arrows in their hands.

Wan Yankang originally planned not to say anything, and when he came up, he relied on the crowd to hack the other party to death, but when he saw the figure on the opposite side riding a tall horse and wearing red battle armor, fear involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart. He grabbed the reins in his hand and stopped more than a mile away.

The cavalry behind him also stopped without further orders. The adjutant general stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "Little prince?" ”

After Yan Kang beat the drum in his heart, he looked back, looked at the other side, and felt that he had a great advantage on his side.

Although Wan Yankang was apprehensive, he felt less scared when he saw the comparison of the number of people on both sides. He was about to give the order to rush over and chop off all the heads on the other side, when the side of the hill grabbed his sleeve.

He looked back and asked, "Master?" ”

"Do you know who that man is?" Qiu Chuji said: "If Ling Tang knows that you are going to attack that person, I am afraid that he will be unhappy." ”

Wan Yankang frowned, disapproving. Those who achieve great things are not informal, how can they spoil national affairs because of personal likes and dislikes. But he suddenly remembered something, and his heart jumped, and the command got stuck in his throat and could no longer be spoken.

Guo Jing didn't know about Yan Kang's mental journey, and he didn't care about it at all. He controlled the mount under his crotch and slowly moved forward, the power flowing through his limbs, and for some reason, he felt something pleasant.

Fifty steps out of the battle, Guo Jing immediately crossed the gun and said loudly: "Little prince, don't come to harm." But I don't know what it means for you to chase after you? ”

Wan Yankang felt the pressure from the other side, and opened his mouth to stammer, but he couldn't answer.

Guo Jing turned his head to the Qiu on the side and said, "Daoist Qiu, please say hello to Daoist Ma Yuma, the head of your sect on my behalf." ”

"Do you know the senior brother in charge of the poor road?"

"It has been several years since Mongolia was parted," Guo Jing bowed, "and I still dare not forget the grace of Ma Daochang's teachings that day." ”

"Hey," Wan Yankang had a sudden feeling of enlightenment in his heart, no wonder Guo Jing's martial arts are so high, and he is so tall, it turns out that a master of the Quanzhen Sect went to teach him a few years ago. Since Ma Yu is the head of the family and the senior brother, he will naturally be much stronger than the kshu. It is reasonable that his own martial arts can't compare to the other party. I just don't know if Ma Yu passed on the Chongyang real person's mental method of traversing the three religions to this Guo Jing.

Since he didn't dare to use force, he decided to stabilize the other party first, so he also controlled his mount and took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "General Guo, do you know what this is?" As he spoke, he took out the short sword from his bosom that had never left his body since he was sensible.

How could Guo Jing not know the origin of that short sword? He was angry in his heart, but his face was silent, and he untied the short sword from his waist. Drawing the sword, I saw the word "Yang Kang" engraved on the sword.

Seeing this, Yan Kang drove his mount to continue to step forward, stopped in the middle of the two sides, and then also pulled out his short sword and said to Guo Jing: "General Guo can recognize the two words on this?" ”

Guo Jing naturally recognized it. The next thing is logical. The two exchanged short swords, uttered some insincere words, and finally became brothers under the watchful eye of the soldiers on both sides.

When Guo Jing and his entourage were far away, Peng Lianhu said angrily: "Little prince, let them go?" ”

Wan Yankang was not very happy in his heart, but when he heard this, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, and he didn't want to speak, so he snorted, beat his horse and galloped back to the city. He made up his mind that no matter what, he would persuade his father to send a large army to kill this man in the territory of Dajin Kingdom, and never let him go back to Mongolia.

It's just that Wanyan Honglie has made up his mind and set a strategy of defending the north and attacking the south, so naturally he will not take the initiative to provoke the Mongols. Although Wan Yankang is the son of King Zhao, he is still young and has no military power in his hands, so he can only face this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After Guo Jing returned to Mongolia, he went to Temujin's tent to resume his life. He looked at a map drawn on a sheepskin, carefully described the geography of the mountains and rivers and the customs of the people and land in the north of the Jin Kingdom, and finally concluded: "Although the Jin Kingdom is full of disadvantages, it is gentle and martial, but there are not a few elite generals, and the time is not yet ripe to attack the Jin Kingdom." ”

"Then if you wait, will the strength of the Jin Kingdom become stronger or weaker?" Temujin said: "Our strength is getting stronger day by day, what about the people of Jinguo? Since their population and land output are a hundred times greater than ours, won't the gap between us become even wider if we wait? ”

"Great Khan, the Jin State is now ruled by Wanyan Honglie, the king of Zhao. This person is very ambitious, and he has always wanted to go south to conquer the Song Kingdom, and I don't think a war will break out between Song and Jin in the near future. We can contact the Song people first, and after they start a war, we can cooperate with the Song people to attack the Jin Kingdom from the north. ”

Temujin was noncommittal, and after thinking for a while, he repeatedly asked about the city marked on the map, and Guo Jing did not tire of answering. The two asked and answered questions and answered a whole day, and it was only when night fell that the two ended their conversation.

Half a month later, Temujin convened the Kuritai Conference at the Nanhe River. At the meeting, after some discussion and quarrel, it was decided that Guo Jing should lead the southern tribes to attack the Jin Kingdom, and Temujin would lead the main force to lead the troops to attack the western countries. Now that Guo Jing has become the lord of Monan, his original tribe and those industries will naturally be owned by the king's account. Temujin then gave the men to his favorite and youngest son, Tolei.

Subsequently, Guo Jing went to Monan, where he established the shogunate, set up generals and assistants, and called himself the shogunate.

When the Jin people heard it, they called it the Guo Shogunate.

At this time, on the land of the Central Plains, the two behemoths of Song and Jin were looking at each other with ill-intentioned eyes. Because of the Jingkang Revolution and the years of war that followed, the Song people were extremely hostile to the Jin people. Whether it is in the army or among the people, or in the Shilin, there is a great willingness to start a war against the Jin State.

Although this cry for revenge was suppressed by the Song high-tops, the Jin invasion of the south shattered the fragile peace between the two countries. Of course, the Jin people want to mix the north and the south, and the Song people also think about the shame of Xue Jingkang. The two sides each mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and more auxiliaries and civilians, and the war lasted for many years. Countless supplies were consumed, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, and no one could help anyone in the final result.

During the battle between Song and Jin, Temujin adhered to his original strategy, first destroying the Western Liao, and then defeating and subjugating the Western Xia. After eliminating the flank threat that he might encounter when attacking Jinguo, he finally set his sights on Jinguo. Jin and Mongolia are already feuding, and if you want to go to war, you have a big excuse. Temujin casually made an excuse and refused to submit to the Jin State.

During these two years, Guo Jing sent troops to attack the east, defeating and co-opting countless savage tribes. By force and economy, he firmly controlled these tribes, and selected nearly 10,000 soldiers from those wild men as his personal soldiers. Because he had been involved in the construction of various buildings, he rebuilt a city in the wilderness near Liaodong. Because of his friendship with Tuo Lei, many of his former subordinates defected.

By the time Temujin decided to use troops against the Jin State, Guo Jing had already gathered hundreds of thousands of people in this wild land, and there were as many as 30,000 warriors. He led 20,000 men to march with the army, leaving more than 10,000 people to guard his hometown.

The Mongols gained some siege experience in the course of their attacks on Western Xia and Western Liao, but this experience was not enough to give them much of an advantage in siege warfare. The method they use is still quite primitive and crude, that is, relying on human life to fill up.

The first to be driven to siege the city were not the Mongols, but the Jin people they had captured around them. Two thousand-strong men with broadswords and bows and arrows followed as a warlord, forcing the poor men to fill in the ravines. Whether they were physically exhausted or wailing loudly, these soldiers would hack them to death without mercy.

The fear of death forced the Jin people to step forward. These golden men did not achieve much success, but only drained the physical strength and morale of the defenders. In just three days, these captured Jin people were killed and wounded. Next, it's up to the Mongols themselves.

"General," Liu Heima said to Guo Jing in the big tent, "what does the Great Khan say?" Have you decided on the order of tomorrow's plays? ”

Liu Heima is a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, tall and tall, with a thousand catties of strength on his arms, and he is a hero from the north recruited by Guo Jing. At this time, he stepped forward a few steps and said, "Are you going to let us be the first to go out?" ”

"The Great Khan asked us to be the first to go out with the Tangut people," Guo Jing said to Liu Heima, "What, are you afraid?" ”

"Afraid?" Liu Heima raised his eyebrows, raised his head and said proudly: "Since following the general, when did a certain family not rush to the forefront in a war?" How can you be afraid! ”

"Then you are afraid that your share of the reward will be missing after the war?"

"The general's rewards and punishments are fair, and I don't worry about this."

"Since you're not worried about this, why are you talking about this?"

"General," Liu Hei immediately stepped forward and said, "I know that the general is the most trustworthy, but the Great Khan uses us as the vanguard in every major battle, but does not give us additional soldiers and horses, which is obviously to consume our strength." ”

"Liu Heima," Guo Jing's voice carried a rare stern taste, "Do you know that my mother and son were helpless on the grassland back then, and it was the Great Khan who took us in?" Did you know that if it weren't for the Great Khan, I wouldn't have been where I am now? ”

"General!" Liu Heima argued: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that the Great Khan is obviously weakening the forces in the general's hands now, are we just waiting to die?" ”

"If the Great Khan orders it, it will be nothing to take all my men."

Liu Hei showed a disappointed look on his face, and then heard Guo Jing say: "With the martial arts of my family, even if I start from scratch, can't I fight another world?" ”

Liu Heima's heart was overjoyed and said, "As the general said!" ”

The next day, as soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, Guo Jingbu and the Tanguts launched an attack at the two city gates to the west and south, respectively.

In the desolate sound of the horn, Guo Jing put down his visor, held a wooden shield, and walked forward quickly. Behind him were the muscular brothers who were also wearing double armor. A big bald head put a hood around his head, and then he held a banner embroidered with monsters aloft, and with all his strength, he shouted:

"General..........

In the sound of swishing, countless eyes gathered on this big flag. Then, the men heard a roar from behind.

“......... It's time to get out! ”

"Oh oh oh!" The brothers and nobles, as well as the soldiers who followed them closely, shouted together, "Hooray! ”
