Chapter 212: Brother and Sister Meet
Guo Zhongyuan, known as the last famous marshal of the Dajin Kingdom, "the most famous general after the southern crossing".
Guo Zhongyuan was born at the bottom and served in the Jin Imperial Court, after the Battle of Yehuling.
As a Han Chinese, although Guo Zhongyuan served in the Jin Dynasty, was given the surname Wanyan, and also fought against the Song Dynasty, he was still a hero in the world in terms of what he did!
Guo Zhongyuan's "Flower Hat Army" had 30,000 people, most of whom came from Hebei, and they were deeply convinced of their abilities and fought bravely.
However, Jin Xuanzong was afraid of Guo Zhongyuan's influence and transferred him to Caizhou to serve as the envoy of the Zhennan Army, leaving the lands of Shandong and Huaibei, where his influence was deeply rooted.
Guo Zhongyuan was unwilling to continue to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, and was passive and slacking off in his post as the envoy of the Zhennan Army, and did nothing.
Guo Zhongyuan is not only a master of strategy, but also a master of tactics.
Although he was repeatedly suspicious, he did not change his heart.
is as strong as Mu Huali and Miki Hebadu, and they are also defeated by their subordinates.
When Guo Mo heard that the other party reported to his home and called himself "Wanyan Zhongyuan", he broke through his details in one word, and instantly went through the other party's life deeds in his brain.
It's a pity, this is a handsome talent who is extremely loyal to the Jin Kingdom.
"Do you know the old man?"
Guo Zhongyuan saw that the other party said his real name, and looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was a person who was extremely familiar with him, not just famous.
"Haha, the commander of the famous 'Flower Hat Army', how can you not know it?"
Guo Mo deliberately mentioned his "Flower Hat Army" in an attempt to arouse his "resentment" towards Ginting, but unfortunately Guo Mo was still disappointed.
"That's all an old thing, I have to let the old man know who did it when I kill dozens of sergeants under my command, right?"
Guo Mo had a heart of "love for talents" for the other party, but he didn't know that Guo Zhongyuan saw that Guo Mo was facing two thousand cavalry troops, and he still didn't change his face and talked eloquently when he was surrounded by two thousand cavalry, and he also had the heart to solicit.
Guo Zhongyuan is a very special person, perhaps because he was born at the bottom, so he pays special attention to and cultivates really capable soldiers in the army.
He has cultivated and promoted many capable generals for the Jin State in his life, but he didn't expect his behavior to make the rulers of the Jin State even more jealous of him.
"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", this statement is always mutual, the Han people do not trust the alien race, in the eyes of the alien race, how can the Han people not also be alien?
"Haha, what a coincidence, the old general's surname is Guo, and he is also surnamed Guo in the next. If you really want to calculate it, maybe it was still a family 500 years ago. But now, you're a member of the 'Wanyan' family. β
Guo Mo continued to "mock" and said, almost directly scolding the other party for "forgetting his ancestors".
"Under the surname Guo, a single name is a silent character, and I have seen General Guo."
Guo Mo still reported his name seriously, and even gave a salute on the horse, but he always called the current Wanyan Zhongyuan "Old General Guo" in his mouth.
"Guo Mo? Are you the commander of the Great Song Dynasty's 'Dunwu Army', the 'Imperial City Division', the outgoing 'Soldier Squire', and Guo Mo, the martial champion? β
Hearing Guo Mo report his home, Guo Zhongyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that the young man opposite might be a talented person, but he didn't expect that he was the hottest figure in the Great Song Dynasty in the past two years.
It can be said that it was entirely because of the appearance of Guo Mo that the Great Song Dynasty set off a martial wind, and only then did three strong brigades appear, such as the "Dunwu Army", "Zhongshun Army", and "Jingnan Army".
For the first time in the past 100 years, the Jin Kingdom was "defeated and lost its land" in front of the Great Song Dynasty, and lost Deng and Tang Prefectures in a row.
Even in today's situation, Jin Guo not only could not be held accountable, but also reluctantly exempted the Great Song Dynasty from the "year endowment".
The reputation of "Guo Zuoer" resounded all over the country, and even in the Nanyang area, it can reach the point of "children stop crying".
In the Dajin Kingdom, all the generals who have some blood do not want to meet Guo Mo on the battlefield, and then win the battle, which is a shame for the Jin army.
Fortunately, Guo Zhongyuan is not an ordinary person, and he has already passed the age of being brave and ruthless, and he is still a Han in his bones.
Hearing that it was Guo Mo on the other side, in addition to being slightly shocked, there was actually a trace of inexplicable appreciation.
"In front of the old general, where does Guo Mo dare to show off his reputation? On this trip to Jinguo, Guo was completely to handle a private matter, but he didn't want to alarm General Guo. β
"For the sake of your two sides, for the sake of facing the strong enemy in the north together, please also ask the old general to raise his noble hand and fight less. These sons behind you are best used on the battlefield to resist a strong enemy in the north. β
Guo Mo kept saying that he was showing weakness, but he was constantly reminding Guo Zhongyuan that the current biggest enemy of the Jin State was Mongolia in the north, not the Great Song Dynasty.
If Guo Zhongyuan still insists on going his own way, then it is just a golden soldier under his command, with more casualties.
Looking at Guo Moyun's breezy appearance, Guo Zhongyuan had no doubt that the other party was bluffing, and thought for a moment.
"Since Guo Dutong is here for private matters, the general will no longer stop him, and I also hope that Guo Dutong will restrain himself, stop disputes, return to where he should be as soon as possible, and say goodbye."
After Guo Zhongyuan finished speaking, he really turned the horse's head and went back the way he came without hesitation.
The two thousand sergeants behind him, seeing the main general leaving, also rode their horses and went with them.
"Thank you General Guo for your success, the door of the Great Song Dynasty is always open for youββ"
Seeing that Guo Zhongyuan really led the army to leave, Guo Mo was lucky and shouted solidly.
How far it was reported all at once, even Guo Zhongyuan, who had already run a mile, could hear it clearly.
"You-"
He turned the horse's head and vaguely saw that Guo Mo was still waving in the direction he was leaving.
Guo Zhongyuan's heart sank, he didn't expect to be put on the spot by this kid like this?
He had no doubt that there were people sent by Ginting to spy on him.
Presumably, Guo Mo on the other side also knew this, so he added such a sentence when he had already let him go.
Kill people properly!
Guo Zhongyuan even felt that there were already several pairs of strange eyes staring at him around him.
Go back and catch Guo Mo again to prove his innocence?
Let's not talk about whether you can catch Guo Mo, even if you really catch it, can you prove yourself?
"Heyβ"
After weighing it for a long time, Guo Zhongyuan still left with two thousand cavalry.
As for whether this matter will bring him more trouble, he is powerless and has no heart to scruple.
"Master, are they really gone?"
Seeing the Jin army leave, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the three boys who came to the battle formation for the first time, their backs were even more wet, and they were surrounded by so many Jin State cavalry, in addition to the excitement in their bones, they also instinctively had a trace of fear.
"Well, they're gone, let's leave too." Guo Mo didn't explain too much.
Guo Zhongyuan's men and horses come and go quickly.
As for Guo Zhongyuan's behavior, Guo Mo can also understand that he has won this time by knowing himself and knowing his opponent.
I hope that there will be more surprising results in the future.
The six of them did not delay any longer and continued their journey northward.
After this time, Guo Mo didn't want to be passive anymore, and also wanted to train the three apprentices on the spot.
Let the "Black Wind Twins" partner with one of the apprentices to do reconnaissance ten miles ahead, report the location, buy food, arrange accommodation, and so on.
Sanxiao also executed meticulously, and just like that, he went in the direction of north-west and entered Henan Mansion.
In this area, Guo Mo came with Huang Rong a few years ago, when the Buddha Shaolin obtained the "Jiuyang True Scripture", and it was this road that went south.
However, compared to the past, there are significantly more sergeants patrolling now.
Almost every county town, every important traffic pass, there are Jin soldiers checking, especially those who come from the north.
Guo Mo and his entourage also attracted the attention of Jin Bing.
It's just that they came up from the south, they looked dressed and dressed, and they didn't look like ordinary people, and they also had the configuration of one person and two horses, especially the war horses in the army.
The most important thing is that Guo Mo is quite generous, so that these Jin soldiers stationed in the garrison do not dare to offend easily.
After Jin Ting moved to Bianliang, there were also many Jin magnates who came to live or play temporarily in Henan Mansion.
All of a sudden, the old capital of Luoyang was rare and prosperous, and Guo Mo and the others also came to Luoyang.
They didn't want to come to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but the largest rudder of the beggar gang in the Jin Kingdom was in Luoyang, and Lu Youjiao was in charge himself.
In fact, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Luoyang was once the helmsman of the beggar gang.
Back then, the extremely powerful Bei Qiao Feng was the leader of the beggar gang who succeeded him in Luoyang.
Later, the Jin State destroyed the Song Dynasty in Bianliang and took all the territory north of Huaishui, and Henan Mansion naturally fell into the hands of the Jin people.
It was at that time that the helmsman of the beggar gang moved from Luoyang to Junshan in Dongting Lake.
The six of them entered Luoyang City and found a medium-sized inn to live in the east of the city, which was not so eye-catching, and they could charter a courtyard alone.
Now is the season when Luoyang peony opens, and there are many tourists who come here, so the inn is a little crowded.
Guo Mo and the others had a lot of people, and they rented a small cross-courtyard, which cost almost twice the usual price.
After settling down, Chen Xuanfeng went out to look for the beggars.
In this era, it is difficult to find other people, but people who want to find beggars can be seen everywhere.
It's just that there is no other party's joint code, and rushing forward to meet the elders of the beggar gang still causes some unnecessary trouble.
Chen Xuanfeng couldn't be ruthless, since the other party was unwilling to take him there, he simply waited for the rabbit.
took action to restrain a few members of the beggar gang, and threatened to let Lu Youjiao come to lead the people in person.
Lu Youjiao, who came to hear the news, soon saw Chen Xuanfeng who came to "pick quarrels and provoke trouble".
The two met at the "Junshan Conference" that year, and after seeing each other, of course they understood that it was a misunderstanding.
Lu Youjiao calmed everyone, and with Chen Xuanfeng, he came to the inn to see Guo Mo.
"The beggar gang Lu has feet, and I have seen Guo Dutong."
The people in the beggar gang are the most loyal and patriotic, Guo Mo is the brother of their gang leader, and he is the founder of the "Dunwu Army".
When Guo Mo swept the cavalry of the Jin State in the Lianghu area and broke into the name of "Guo Zuoer", he has vaguely become the new anti-Jin banner of the Great Song Dynasty.
Especially after recovering Dengzhou and Tangzhou, countless hot-blooded young people in the Great Song Dynasty seemed to see the hope of returning north to the Central Plains and returning to the old capital.
"Elder Lu is here, please take a seat."
Guo Mo also has special respect for this Lu Youjiao, although this person is mediocre, but he has always been loyal and conscientious to the beggars and the Great Song Dynasty, and he has been doing it for decades.
Lu has a straightforward temperament, and he will not beat around the bush, so he asked directly after sitting down.
"Guo Dutong, why did you get here? Is there anything you need help from the beggars? β
Guo Mo asked Lu Youjiao to come over, just to borrow the power of the beggar gang, otherwise just a few of them, he might not even be able to find out the news.
"Elder Lu, I can't hide it, Guo received the news that my mother and several masters in the desert should have gone south to return to the Song Dynasty."
"On the way, they were successively harassed by the Mongols and the Jin people, and their group of about 300 people was expected to cross the Yellow River from Luoyang, so Guo specially came here to respond."
"It's just that I don't know the place well, and the situation on the north side of the Yellow River is not clear, so I can't contact them, so I want to ask Elder Lu to help with this."
Guo Mo told the news he received and the speculation that might happen.
Lu Youjiao naturally won't refuse, Guo Mo's mother, isn't that the mother of his own helper?
Where is this help, it is clearly within the beggars' business.
"Guo Dutong must not be polite, you and the beggar gang are one, and the beggar gang is responsible for this matter."
"Huaizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River also has our rudder, and there are also beggars at Mengjin Ferry to help a few boats, fishing and carrying passengers every day."
"It's just that the ship is not big, and if it were three hundred people plus horses, I am afraid it would take several trips. Recently, the ferry port has suddenly increased the sentry patrol of the Jin country, so it is better for us to be careful. β
Seeing that Lu Youzu accepted it with a big bag, Guo Mo was very moved, and took out two thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them over.
"Elder Lu, it is not easy for the brothers of the beggar gang, and this matter is also a big risk, you take this silver ticket first and distribute it to the brothers who do specific things."
"Guo Dutong, how can this make us, we are also going to pick up the mother of our own helper, if we have to collect money, won't it make the world laugh when it is passed out?"
Lu Youjiao saw Guo Mo take out the silver ticket, and his face sank at that time.
"Elder Lu misunderstood, the brother of the beggar gang is my Guo Mo's own brother, and the morality of the rivers and lakes has to be taught, but no one's life is blown by the wind."
"Some people are also dragging their families, and with this money, many things are more convenient, and sometimes they can reduce the risk of their brothers' errands. I'm sure even my eldest brother here would agree with me doing this. β
In the end, Guo Mo still gave the silver ticket to Lu Youjiao.
Lu Youjiao saw that the other party was sincere in wanting to give, and thought that it was indeed difficult for him to establish a beggar gang rudder in the territory of Jinguo, so he accepted it against his will.
Lu Youjiao returned to the rudder of the beggar gang, so he summoned all the small leaders of the beggar gang in Luoyang City and held a meeting.
did not reveal Guo Mo's whereabouts, but just scattered all the personnel and paid close attention to the wind and grass in Henan Mansion.
At the same time, dozens of disciples were sent to the north bank of the Yellow River to find Li Sheng, the "Jiangdong Snake King".
For more than a year, Li Sheng has been responsible for the daily affairs of the entire beggar gang north of the Yellow River.
Guo Mo waited for news at the inn, and three days passed, and there was still no news.
The three apprentices didn't dare to run out to play, so they stayed in the inn obediently, and under the leadership of the senior brother Zhang Shijie, they polished their internal strength.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Lu Youjiao came to the door, followed by a three-bag disciple in his twenties, who was in a hurry.
"Elder Lu, is there any news coming?"
Guo Mo hurriedly greeted him, and waited here for three days waiting for news, Guo Mo himself was a little out of breath.
"Guo Dutong, this Chen brother is from the north bank of the Yellow River, and he has brought a piece of news, which may be related to the person you are looking for. Brother Chen, tell Guo Dutong what you know word for word. β
This three-bag disciple surnamed Chen first saluted Guo Mo, and then said.
"After receiving Elder Lu's order, I took my own people and was assigned by Elder Li to Zezhou Mansion to inquire about the news."
"In the vicinity of Jueshan, we met a group of Jin cavalry, chasing several people, among them there was a young girl, and the girl seemed to be injured."
"The brothers didn't plan to take care of the matter, after all, the matter ordered by Elder Li was also very urgent, and we saw several people guarding the girl, dressed as Mongolian guards."
"Now, the war between Mongolia and Jin is everywhere, and the brothers are thinking about hiding from it."
"There are nearly thirty cavalry members of the Jin Kingdom, and there are only four Mongolian guards, although they are not afraid of death, they are still outnumbered after all. After killing more than 20 Jin cavalry soldiers one after another, all four of them were also killed. β
"The remaining five or six Jin cavalry soldiers were also injured, and at this time, when we saw these Jin cavalry soldiers, they actually wanted to insult the girl in public."
"And the injured girl was powerless to resist, so she had to shout 'help', and the big guy heard that the girl was our Han."
The brothers took advantage of their unpreparedness and rushed up and killed the Jin soldiers. The girl turned out to be poisoned, and she couldn't use her skills, so she only said that she came from the desert, and she was unconscious. β
Everyone didn't dare to delay, took away the war horses of the Jin people, took the girl back to Huaizhou to divide the rudder, and returned to Elder Li. When she came down, the girl was still unconscious. β
The beggar disciple surnamed Chen said in detail, after all, he saw with his own eyes that the four guards faced the tragedy of the thirty Jin State cavalry.
"Brother Chen, what's the girl's name? How old is it? β
Guo Mo hurriedly asked.
"The situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to tell her name, and she begged us to save her companion. He is not very old, and he looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. β
"Thirteen or fourteen? Could it be Ting'er? β
Guo Mo couldn't sit still, if it was really Zhang Ting, she would have fallen to this point, and the situation of others was even more worrying.
"Elder Lu, please prepare a clipper, I will go to the north bank of the Yellow River now, bother this Brother Chen, and work hard to lead the way."
Before Lu Youjiao came, he had already ordered the dock, and the boat was ready.
Guo Mo and the others also made a little preparation, each with a war horse and a handy blade, and rushed to Mengjin Wharf.
Not only the three bags of disciples surnamed Chen, but even Lu Youjiao also went with them, and instructed the beggar disciples who stayed in Luoyang to be ready to respond at any time.
When Guo Mo and his party arrived in Huaizhou City, it was already dark, and the wind coming from the Qin River was slightly cool.
In a medium-sized compound, Guo Mo and his entourage met Li Sheng, the "Snake King of Jiangdong".
"Elder Li, where is that woman?"
As soon as he saw Li Sheng, Guo Mo threw off his horse and asked hurriedly.
"Guo Dutong, don't worry, that woman is in the wing, you come with me."
Li Sheng led the way in front of the head, Guo Mo followed closely, and the others went to the hall to wait.
The room was already lit up, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and a young girl was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, but she was still shivering with cold.
"Guo Dutong, Li judged that this woman was poisoned, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was, so he tried to give her an antidote, but it didn't seem to be right."
Li Sheng was a little ashamed, he was also called "Jiangdong Snake King", and he was naturally a good player at playing snake poison, but he was helpless against the poison in the girl in front of him.
"Ting'erβ"
Guo Mo recognized it at a glance, and the person lying on the bed was the daughter of the fifth master "Xiao Mituo" Zhang Asheng, and the "Yue Nu Sword" Han Xiaoying, his little sister Zhang Ting.
I haven't seen each other for four or five years, and the little girl has grown up.
Calculate the time, it is already the thirteenth birthday, slightly younger than Wu Nantian, and half a year older than Zhang Shijie.
Although he has grown up, he can still see the appearance of his childhood.
Now his face is pale, his teeth are clenched tightly, and he keeps shivering, which makes Guo Mo feel distressed.
"Thank you Elder Li, this woman is the little junior sister below, I bother Elder Li to wait outside, I want to give my junior sister luck to exorcise drugs."
Guo Mo took a look at it and determined that Zhang Ting was not poisoned, but poisoned, and it was the "cold ice palm" that he was familiar with.
"Ouyang Ke? You're looking for death! β
Li Sheng went out, arranging food and lodging for everyone for the time being.
Guo Mo stepped forward and helped Zhang Ting up, and from her trembling body, there was a chill.
Guo Mo hugged Zhang Ting in front of him like he did when he was a child, supported her with one hand, and pressed her back of the heart with the other, slowly infusing the "Jiuyang True Qi" into Zhang Ting's body.
Guo Mo can feel that Zhang Ting is in a very bad state now, judging from the time, she has been injured for at least two days.
The "Jiuyang True Qi" wandered through Zhang Ting's body over and over again, expelling the "Cold Ice True Qi" in her body from the body one by one.
"Wow-" With a sound, Zhang Ting spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The blood foam that spit on the ground was all black and purple ice ballast.
Guo Mo knew that the little junior sister's life was saved.
The "Cold Ice True Qi" has been removed, and Guo Mo continued to input the "Jiuyang True Qi" to Zhang Ting, constantly repairing the damaged meridians in her body.
If it weren't for Guo Mo's "Jiuyang Divine Skill", even if Xiao Zhang Ting was saved, it would be troublesome to practice martial arts again.
Through the examination of the meridians in Zhang Ting's body, Guo Mo can judge that this little girl has worked hard all these years.
The internal strength of her cultivation is also the "Seven Styles of the Great Desert" created by the "Flying Bat" Ke Zhenxi, and it seems that she has practiced at least to the fourth level of "Autumn is like snow".
During this period, the eldest apprentice Zhang Shijie came in and asked the master if he needed to eat?
was waved by Guo Mo and driven out.
If it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will stand after it is broken.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to heal Zhang Ting, it took more than an hour, Guo Mo helped her get through the twelve canons, and after the meridians were restored, she properly entered the second-rate realm.
Zhang Ting's breathing gradually calmed down, and her body no longer felt cold.
Guo Mo gently flattened her, fed her a "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill", and fell asleep deeply.
And Guo Mo himself sat on the edge of the bed and guarded.
Just like when he was a child, Guo Mo had a fever once, and Master Seven also guarded himself like this.
The morning sun was scattered through the window and was shining on Zhang Ting's face.
Perhaps feeling the stimulation of the light, Zhang Ting opened her eyes.
Looking around, I remembered that I was not being hunted down.
"Where am I?"
The voice of the question was a little weak, but it still woke up Guo Mo.
"Ting'er, are you awake?"
Seeing Zhang Ting who woke up, Guo Mo was very excited.
"You are? Second Senior Brother, are you Second Senior Brother? Zhang Ting also recognized Guo Mo.
Although he has been separated for a few years, Guo Mo was almost eighteen years old when he left, and his appearance has not changed much in the past few years.
Even in the barracks, she has always maintained her fair skin, and even Huang Rong is a little jealous.
"Ting'er, it's me, I'm the second senior brother."
"Second Senior Brotherβ"
After Guo Mo's confirmation, Xiao Zhang Ting couldn't hold back any longer, supported herself with a force, threw herself into Guo Mo's arms, and cried bitterly.
Guo Mo didn't speak, and waited quietly for the little girl to finish crying.
"Second senior brother, hurry, go and save your father, they are surrounded by the Jin people and the Mongols."
