Guo Jing said: "What does Master mean is that I should take the initiative to lead the troops to attack the Song Dynasty and restrain my subordinates in the process, so that the casualties of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty can be reduced?"

Liu Anmin nodded.

Guo Jing frowned and said: "But Master, if Jing'er does this, she will be spurned by the people of the world, scolding Jing'er for treason and betrayal, and Jing'er's reputation will be left for 10,000 years.

Liu Anmin and Guo Jing have been together for many years, and they really love this kind-hearted, simple and honest disciple in their hearts.

After listening to Guo Jing's words, he sighed, a little unbearable in his heart, but still said: "Jing'er, if you use your reputation as a family in exchange for the lives of thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty, are you willing?"

Guo Jing's face was heavy and slightly silent, and then nodded.

Quietly said: "Jing'er understands, after destroying Dajin, Jing'er will ask the Great Khan for his life, let the Great Khan take me as the commander, lead the troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and all the infamy and guilt will be borne by Jing'er herself." There is no regret and firmness in the words.

Liu Anmin couldn't help but appreciate it in his heart.

Then, Liu Anmin's eyes flickered, and he looked around at only the master and apprentice, and said softly: "Jing'er, you have led the troops for all these years, do you think that the Mongolian soldiers are more obedient and obey the military orders, or the Han army, more obedient and more restrained?"

Guo Jing said casually: "Naturally, it is the Han army, and it is even more prohibited." ”

Liu Anmin smiled, "Yes, although the Mongols are brave in battle, but the ferocity in their bones and their long-standing combat habits make them rotten in every battle, and all men who have the ability to resist will be slaughtered, which cannot be easily changed." ”

"But the Han Chinese army is different, they are more obedient and easier to restrain themselves. ”

"In the battle of the Song Dynasty, the army we need is precisely such an army that can obey and restrain it, so as to reduce the casualties of ordinary people in the war. ”

Guo Jing nodded with a serious expression, remembering some things in this expedition to the west, "What the teacher said is very true. ”

Liu Anmin said softly: "So Jing'er, in the next battle to destroy Jin, you must pay more attention to promoting Han generals, and for those Han troops who surrender, you must gather under your command." ”

Guo Jing nodded, "No wonder, teacher, a long time ago, you asked me to take in the Han people as much as possible, it turns out that you have long thought that you will face this situation in the future." ”

Liu Anmin nodded.

But then, Guo Jing frowned: "But teacher, if I focus on promoting Han generals and collecting the Han army, what if this matter is known to the Great Khan? I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the Great Khan?"

Not to mention the suspicion of the Great Khan, I am afraid that the entire Mongolian high-level will be suspicious of Guo Jing's actions.

Liu Anmin smiled, and what Guo Jing could think of, he could naturally think of it, "Jing'er's worries are reasonable, so we have to calm their hearts first." ”

Guo Jing was puzzled: "How to calm their hearts?"

Liu Anmin took a few steps forward, leaned into Guo Jing's ear, and whispered.

......

Two months later, the Mongols began to move south.

Guo Jing and Torre divided their forces to attack gold.

The war between the Mongols and the Jin Kingdom began.

Inspired by the lessons of the Western Xia War, the Mongols attacked the Jin State this time, preparing a large number of siege equipment and siege infantry, and even artillery units were also put into use on the battlefield.

Failing to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, the Mongols colluded with the Khitans within the Jin State to weaken the power of the Jin State.

The war, which began in October, was overwhelming and formidable for the Mongol army.

The Jin State mobilized 50,000 soldiers to garrison the north bank of the Yellow River to defend the capital on the banks of the Yellow River, but the Mongol army still crossed the Yellow River.

By June of the following year, Guo Jing and Torrey were even about to reach Kaifeng, Kyoto, in the Kingdom of Jin.

But by this time the weather was already very hot, and it was not long before the scorching heat made the northern army very uncomfortable, as was the case with Torre.

The following month, Torre returned with his army, but he fell ill and fainted, and Ogedai even sent a sorcerer to treat Torre, but after Torre returned to Mongolia, he still died.

Guo Jing was still leading the army to fight, and most of his soldiers were Han Chinese troops, and a small number of Mongol soldiers and Khitans.

He sent people to lead the Mongol soldiers to evacuate, and he himself led the Han army to the city of Kaifeng under the scorching heat.

By this time, it was August.

In the big tent in the army, Guo Jing was looking down at the military situation, and Liu Anmin next to him was wiping sweat from time to time, his martial arts were not high, and he couldn't be as cold and hot as Guo Jing.

Not long after, the voice of the soldier outside the tent said: "Report to the general." ”

Guo Jing didn't raise his head, "Come in." ”

"Report, there is an envoy from the Jin Imperial Court. ”

"Let him in. ”

A man dressed in the official uniform of the Jin State walked in, looked around the military tent, and identified the main master.

He said, "I've seen the general." ”

Guo Jing waved his hand, "Jin envoy, please get up, I don't know what's going on?"

The envoy of the Jin State said: "General, Your Majesty asked the envoy to send a letter to the general. ”

Guo Jing was surprised, now that the troops had already arrived in the city, his righteous brother sent a messenger to send a letter to him, what was the so-called matter? Could it be that he wanted to surrender?

After taking the letter, Guo Jing looked down, and after reading it, his eyes were full of thoughts.

Liu Anmin was surprised when he saw him: "General, I don't know what is in the letter?"

Guo Jing gave him the letter directly.

Liu Anmin took it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom first climbed the relationship in the letter, saying that he and Guo Jing were originally righteous brothers, and they had made talents to such a situation, so they wanted to meet Guo Jing and have a good talk.

He turned his head to look at Guo Jing and said, "General, do you want to see him?"

Guo Jing waved the messenger away, and said to Liu Anmin: "Teacher, Uncle Yang, he only has one son, Yang Kang, Jin Guoqi has exhausted, he has become the king of the dead country, but I don't want him to die, so I want to meet him and persuade him to turn back." ”

Liu Anmin frowned and persuaded: "General, now we only need to surround Kaifeng City, and the overall situation has been decided, why take the risk, in case ......?"

Guo Jing interrupted Liu Anmin's words with a wave of his hand, his eyes were firm, "I understand what the teacher means, but I still have to try." ”

Liu Anmin was silent and no longer blocked.

......

The Mongol army and the city of Kaifeng were far away.

In the middle, Guo Jing and Yang Kang stood opposite each other at this time, only five steps away from each other, and there was no one else beside them.

The two were originally righteous brothers, and they also lived in a foreign country, but now, one has become a Mongolian golden sword and horse, holding heavy soldiers, and the other is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, making a big golden dragon court, sitting facing south, and calling him a lonely widow.

Slightly silent.

Yang Kang's eyes were deep, and he looked at Guo Jing with a smile, "Brother Yi, don't come to harm." ”

Guo Jing's face was complicated, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Kang, go back, Uncle Yang and Uncle Yang are waiting for you in the south." ”

Yang Kang's cheeks twitched, "Is my brother here to persuade me?"

"Brother Kang, if you can't win, you don't have to struggle in vain, just increase casualties. Guo Jing persuaded.

Yang Kang's face was gloomy: "Why is the righteous brother so forceful, I have to kill my brother, if the city is broken and the gold is destroyed, how can the Mongolian Great Khan let me go, even if you are Mongolia's golden sword and horse, Wokotai may not sell your face, how can I go back to see my father?"

"You forced me to death, how will you have the face to see my father and mother in the future?"

Guo Jing couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

When Yang Kang saw it, he immediately said: "Brother Yi, I have the best of both worlds, you and my brother don't have to fight for life and death, but also become famous." ”

"What's the best of both worlds?" Guo Jing said.

Yang Kang said in a low voice: "Brother Yi now has a heavy army, and there are a lot of troops in the Jin Kingdom, as long as you and my brothers join forces, reject Mongolia in the north and attack the Song Dynasty in the south, the world will be at your fingertips, and the whole world will be our two brothers' at that time." ”

Guo Jing's eyes were condensed, looking at Yang Kang as if he was looking at a madman again, and said categorically: "You are delusional, I will never agree." ”

"Yang Kang, you still don't repent to this day, for the sake of power and glory, you recognize the thief as your father, betray the country for glory, and you don't know shame, if it weren't for Uncle Yang and Uncle Yang, I would have killed you today. ”

Yang Kang is now the Emperor of Dajin, how could he have been scolded like this, seeing Guo Jing's eyes firm and disappointed, he couldn't help but be extremely ashamed and angry, knowing that the other party must destroy Dajin.

His face was hideous, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in a low voice: "Guo Jing, how much better are you than me? You married a Mongolian princess, became a Mongolian horse, became a Mongolian dog, and became a knife in the hands of Mongolians. ”

"Do you think you are nobler than me? How much Han blood did you have on your hands when you fought for the Mongols?

Yang Kang has been under a lot of pressure these days, and the military situation of the defeat in front of him has been passed to him one after another, and now he has been beaten to Kyoto by the enemy, and at this time he was rejected and scolded by Guo Jing, and he couldn't help but be a little hysterical.

Guo Jing looked at Yang Kang's slightly crazy appearance, listening to the words in his mouth, he couldn't help but be speechless.

His cheeks tightened, and after a while, Guo Jing looked at Yang Kang coldly and burst out with a sentence.

"I'm not like you. "Turn and leave.

Yang Kang clenched his fists, looked at Guo Jing's back coldly, and sneered: "It's different? surnamed Guo, I want to see how you did it after you defeated me and the Mongols let you attack Song?"

Guo Jing's departing body paused, his eyes remained unchanged, and then he continued to walk forward, but his steps were more firm.

I still said softly in my heart: I am different from you.
