Chapter 539: Xiangyang Tragedy (4)
    Hearing Shi Shugang and Zhang Junbao's request, Guo Jing couldn't help but recall the scenes of his decades in Xiangyang: the resolution at the Heroes Conference of the Great Victory Pass, the fierce battle in Xiangyang, the joy of repelling the Mongols, the pain of the failure of the Northern Expedition, and the persistence of being trapped in a lonely city...... Looking at his dusty son, as well as his wife who also has gray hair, the white-haired Zhu Ziliu, the heroes and righteous men who are alive and died in Xiangyang City also appear in him one by one. Thinking of these people, even with Guo Jing's perseverance, his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and all the feelings in his heart turned into a sigh and a long sigh.
    Hearing Guo Jing sigh, Huang Rong already knew her husband's intentions, stepped forward to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow for him, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Jing, don't you still have something to explain to the prisoner? Now that he is here, why don't you say it?" The two have been guarding in Xiangyang for 30 years, and almost all the hard work of the second half of their lives is here, and now seeing that Xiangyang is about to fall, the pain in their hearts can be imagined. Huang Rong also empathizes with her husband's feelings.
     "That's it!!Break through, when is your master scheduled to break through?" The implication is that it is already agreed to break through. However, when he heard the result he wanted, no one in the audience was happy, but they were all a little sad. Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang have also guarded Xiangyang for decades, and they have a deep affection for this, and as the hub of the middle section of the Yangtze River defense line, once Xiangyang falls, the Yangtze River defense line can be said to be unprotected. As long as the Mongols went downstream, the Great Song Dynasty would be in danger. Thinking that even if he and the others broke through, they would have to survive under the Tartar iron horse, how could everyone be happy!
     "Master said that we are coming today, and the Tartars will definitely come to attack the city after knowing it, and it is not a good time to break through." Therefore, let everyone rest for these two days and break through in the early morning of the next day after the Tartar siege. My brother and I came. It's to discuss how to respond, so as not to make mistakes!" Guo Poyu replied when he heard this.
    "In the early morning of the next day after the Tartars attacked the city, it was good to ......," Guo Jing muttered. As he spoke, he said to Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang: "Brother Zhu, Brother Shi, you take someone to arrange tomorrow's city defense." Then take out the remaining food, so that everyone can eat more in the next few days, recuperate, and prepare for the breakthrough in the future. ”
    Zhu Ziliu and Uncle Shi just heard this, and immediately nodded yes. Zhu Ziliu asked: "Do you want to tell the brothers about the breakthrough? What do you say about Lu Dashuai's side? Brother Guo, how do you arrange the elite soldiers you trained?" Guo Jing trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xiangyang City, although more than half of the casualties in the last Xiangyang Battle and the Northern Expedition, and the siege of the past five years has been continuously consumed, but there are still two or three thousand people left, including the remaining hundreds of Jingkang troops who are constantly replenished. These soldiers and horses, together with the people in the rivers and lakes in the city, are the most important force directly in Guo Jing's hands.
    "Daddy, the child has now laid a place in Liuqiu, and the brothers on the island miss these brothers very much, so let them go to Liuqiu together after breaking through!" Guo Poyu said. When he went to seek to open up a foundation. He recruited hundreds of people who were willing to go to Liuqiu from the soldiers and horses trained by Guo Jing to form the initial force. Over the years, some of these people died in battle, and some died of illness. Some withdrew from the army, but those who remained were still the fundamental force in Guo Poyu's hands. Although the remaining people in Xiangyang City are already old, and some of them are even old and weak, Guo Poyu believes that as long as these people go to Liuqiu with him, it will not be difficult to dominate the whole island in a few years. Compared with other forces on the island, these Xiangyang elite soldiers who survived a hundred battles and can be compared with the Mongolian elite soldiers can really be said to be too strong.
     sighed, Guo Jing acquiesced, and said to Zhu Ziliu: "Go." Let everyone know what they should know, lest they have other thoughts. "After the reckless foot. Guo Poyu and Zhang Junbao ventured forward, and the breakthrough was almost a foregone conclusion. Even if he didn't make up his mind, the others would not be willing to be here, and Guo Jing could only try to organize them as much as possible.
    "Let Guo'er come over, I have something to say to him!" Looking at Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang, who were about to go out, Guo Jing said. Hearing this, the two took the order and left, and after a while, Yang Guo came over and faced Guo Jing and Huang Rong with Guo Poyu and Zhang Junbao.
     Looking at the three people in front of them, Guo Jing and Huang Rong felt relieved. Needless to say, Yang Guo, the son-in-law, although he has taken some care, he is trustworthy regardless of martial arts and character, and it is not wrong for his eldest daughter to entrust him. As for Guo Poyu, although he thinks differently from the two of them under Fang Zhixing's teaching, seeing that he is acting now, he has already experienced it, and there is no need for the two of them to worry about it. The only thing the two are worried about now is their youngest daughter Guo Xiang.
    "Junbao, has there been any news of your senior sister in the past few years?" Huang Rong asked Zhang Junbao. Ten years ago, Guo Xiang, Zhang Junbao and Hong Lingbo went north together, and accidentally encountered some Jianghu people who took refuge in the Mongols to besiege them, but fortunately Master Jueyuan rescued them, so they escaped safely. After that, the three of them stayed in Shaolin for a while, and then went to Zhongnan Mountain, Chixiazhuang and other places, but when they came back, only Zhang Junbao was left. Where Hong Lingbo went, everyone still knew something, only Guo Xiang, but there was almost no news, Huang Rong was naturally extremely worried in her heart.
    Zhang Junbao heard this, returned a salute, and said: "I was about to tell my aunt that a few days ago, Kunlun sent He Daoyou a letter to send a letter, saying that I saw Senior Sister Guo in the Western Regions a few years ago. The letter said that Senior Sister Guo had come down from the Great Snow Mountain and went to Tibet from the Western Regions. I heard He Daoyou say that the senior sister's martial arts have made great progress, and she has made many friends, if she can get the news of Xiangyang in Tubo, she should already be on the way here, and her aunt will be able to see her soon. ”
    "That's good!That's good!" Hearing the news, Huang Rong's long-standing worries finally let go of some of them. Among the children, Guo Fu and Guo Poyu have all started families, and the one she is most worried about is Guo Xiang's little daughter. When Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang came to Xiangyang together, Huang Rong also matched them, but although the relationship between the two was quite close, they were always a little short of falling in love. Later, after coming to Shaolin, Guo Xiang read many Buddhist scriptures, and began to be interested in the Buddhism left by King Jinlun, and went north to the Great Snow Mountain to find the Vajra Sect. As for Zhang Junbao, he stayed in Zhongnan Mountain for a period of time, and then traveled south, and finally became enlightened and martial arts in Wudang, and was officially ordained by Fang Zhixing. and Guo Xiang, it can only be said that there is no fate, which makes people feel sorry for themselves.
