Guo Jing and others chased more than 30 miles, and saw that the Mongolian soldiers were retreating, and Lu Wenhuan sent a herald to summon Guo Jing back to the army to protect the city, and the Song army returned triumphantly. Since the Song army fought with the Mongols, this victory was truly unprecedented. Guo Jing led the army back to the edge of Xiangyang City, and appeased Lu Wenhuan, who had already led his own soldiers and generals, to brag and greet each other outside the city. The people also flocked outside the city, displaying wine and incense candles, and worshipping and consoling.

Guo Jing took Yang Guo's hand, picked up a glass of wine presented by the people, turned to Yang Guo, and said: "Guo'er, you have made this great contribution today, you are the first hero, you should drink this cup." ”

Yang Guo was moved in his heart, thinking that he had made such a great contribution, and he had to say it out loud because of his master's plan. However, seeing Fang Zhixing standing on the side, he seemed to be inconspicuous, and remembered the master's instructions, and said: "Uncle Guo, if the little nephew hadn't been raised and taught by you and Aunt Guo when he was young, and had been taught by the master, how could he have today?" But when I heard the cheers of the soldiers and civilians, the sound was like thunder, and I was very emotional.

On that day, the military and civilians in Xiangyang City can be described as hanging colors, and every household is happy. Although some fathers, brothers and sons died in this battle, the victory of the army was over, and the sorrow and sorrow could not help but decrease slightly. In the evening, at the banquet of Zhang Zhujie in the pacification embassy, Lu Wenhuan wanted to invite Yang Guo to sit as the chief. Yang Guo said that he would not say anything. Everyone pushed for a long time, and finally pushed Master Yideng as respect, followed by Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, Fang Zhixing, Wang Jian, Diancang Yuyin, Wu Santong, Zhu Ziliu, Feng Mofeng, 4 Huang Rong, this is Yang Guo, Guo Fu, Shen Qingchen, Wu brothers. Yinggu, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Fang Yuxia, Guo Xiang and others sat at another table. Lu Wenhuan was secretly displeased, and thought: "Hong Qigong is Guo Daxia's master, and the master of Huangdao is Guo Daxia's father-in-law. That's fine. The old monk is not amazing, and the old man Zhou is crazy. How can you be in the upper seat?" but the heroes talked about the situation of the daytime battle, and they were all happy. But where can Lu Wenhuan intervene?

After several rounds of drinking, the officials, generals, and gentry in the city came to toast Guo Jing and Yang Guo, and praised the two heroes for their great skills and martial arts. Guo Jing remembered that Fang Zhixing forced the Golden Wheel Dharma King to death and saved Guo Xiang during the day, and said to everyone: "If it comes to martial arts, Fang Daochang can be called the first in the world, and today he can save Xiang'er, thanks to Brother Fang!"

Everyone heard the news. Only then did I think of Fang Zhixing, the person who set up the Twenty-Eight Nights Great Array and saved Guo Xiang. During the day, Fang Zhixing rescued Guo Xiang with a rope, and forced the Golden Wheel Dharma King to be unable to step off the high platform, but everyone saw with their own eyes that the high martial arts were really incredible. Thinking that Yang Guo was his apprentice, everyone was even more eager and toasted him.

"In the two major battles today and the day before yesterday, we all won a big victory, I don't know what Brother Fang thinks. Do you want to take the opportunity to counterattack?" Guo Jing knew that Fang Zhixing didn't like to drink, so he stopped everyone and asked him.

Hearing Guo Jing talk about military affairs, everyone suddenly stopped. They all looked at Fang Zhixing, not knowing what he had to say. Among the present, there were quite a few martial arts people. What Fang Zhixing said at the Dashengguan Heroes Conference back then, but there are still some people who remember. Now look at the behavior of Guo Jing and others. It can be said that half of what Fang Zhixing said was taken, and then it went on. is about to counterattack Mongolia, and everyone also wants to hear what Fang Zhixing thinks.

Fang Zhixing glanced at everyone, played with the wine glass in his hand, and said lightly: "Should you counterattack, didn't Guo Daxia already have a plan? Why bother asking Poor Dao again?"

Seeing this, Guo Jing suddenly thought of some of the big rebellions in Fang Zhixing's strategy, and his expression was slightly stagnant. Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi and others are also thinking. Affected by a few people, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became tense, seeing this, Huang Rong hurriedly said: "Today is just a celebration, military affairs, it's not too late to discuss it in the future!"

At the end of the banquet, Fang Zhixing, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, Master Yideng, Zhu Ziliu, Yang Guo, Shen Qingchen and others gathered together again. Hong Qi said fairly: "Nephew Fang Xian, back then, you said that Xiangyang would first assist, and then take the opportunity to seize power, as the foundation of the Northern Expedition, is it really going to come to this point now?"

Fang Zhixing neither affirmed nor denied it, and asked Hong Qigong rhetorically: "Seventh Duke thinks, shouldn't we take this step?"

"This ......" Hong Qigong was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Although he usually despises the government, he has never thought about it and does not know how to respond to the blatant seizure of power and rebellion.

"Brother Fang, Lu Wenhuan attaches great importance to us, since this is the case, why bother to move him again?" Huang Rong saw that the master was deflated, and asked Fang Zhixing. Although she couldn't get used to Lu Wenhuan and others, she didn't think much about seizing power, but in recent years, Lu Wenhuan has been affected by the soul ** and has great trust in Guo Jing, but this matter is not urgent.

When Guo Jing heard this, he also said: "Yes, Brother Fang, although Lu Dashuai is a little timid, he has the grace of knowing us, so why do you have to drive him away?"

Fang Zhixing sighed and did not answer. Huang Yaoshi said quietly: "If you don't drive him away, will he support your Northern Expedition?"

Guo Jing was a little puzzled and asked: "Why don't you support it? Mongolia has been defeated repeatedly, and my strength in Xiangyang still exists, and this is the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, how could Lu Dashuai not agree to the Northern Expedition?" In the past two major battles in the past few days, although the loss of soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City was not small, the loss of the Mongolian side was even greater, Guo Jing was confident that he would lead the elite soldiers he had trained to the north to defeat Kublai Khan, and he did not believe that Lu Wenhuan could not see this. In the past few years, he proposed to Lu Wenhuan to build a plan, which can be said to be all smooth, and he is very confident in this.

"Lu Dashuai may agree, but the people of the Lin'an court will definitely not agree, will Lu Dashuai still support our Northern Expedition at that time?" Zhu Ziliu said. Although Fang Zhixing's use of soul deterrence ** can affect some of Lu Wenhuan's thoughts, it is much worse to say that it is completely controlled. If the imperial court issued a strict order, Lu Wenhuan would definitely not disobey the order, even if Fang Zhixing used Soul Deterrence ** again, it would be the same.

Hearing this, everyone in the room was silent. Although the battle had just been reported to the imperial court, and Lu Wenhuan had no intention of asking for instructions on the Northern Expedition, everyone knew that there was no need to tempt, and the imperial court would definitely not agree to the Northern Expedition. Once the imperial court issued a strict order, Lu Wenhuan would naturally not support everyone's Northern Expedition, even if he changed others, it would be the same. (To be continued......)
