After the battle of the Western Regions Snow Valley, the strength and vitality of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's men were greatly damaged, and they almost collapsed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the way back to the east, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were also indignant, and Huang Yaoshi put forward the idea of attacking the Qingjiao Snow Valley next time, that is, to take a step-by-step approach, and spread the Qimen Five Elements Snowball Array outside the Snow Valley, so as to block the way in and out of the Snow Valley, so as to cut off the supply of the enemy in the valley and trap Yang Kang's men alive in the valley.

It's not impossible to implement, but it's too difficult to implement. This requires a lot of manpower and protracted time. Moreover, besieging a snowy valley on the plateau, the days of the besiegers are even more difficult than those of the besieged.

Therefore, if this plan is implemented, then it is necessary to gather beggar disciples all over the world to go to the foot of the snow-capped mountain together, and it will not take a year and a half to perform the gong. In this way, the defense of Xiangyang needs to be completely abandoned.

Guo Jing did not agree to the plan. He believes that the killing of Yang Kang by the Qingjiao is mostly a personal vendetta, and guarding Xiangyang to protect the people is righteousness and justice, and he cannot give up justice for his own selfishness. For this reason, he quarreled with Huang Rong all the way, but Huang Rong still failed to convince Guo Jing.

Half a year later, Guo Jing and dozens of others returned to Xiangyang, and Xiangyang was still unharmed. Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong left immediately, Master Yideng and Ci'en also drifted away, and the old urchin and Aunt Ying also said goodbye to Guo Jing.

The flowers bloomed, the spring went to spring, and in the blink of an eye, Xiangyang spent ten years in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

During this decade, there was no war between the Mongols and the Song state, and the Mongols were busy fighting for power and consolidating their rule in the Central Plains north of the Yangtze River.

The emperors of the Song Kingdom reverted to their old ways, indulging in lewd pleasures between the court and the Qinglou, and the powerful ministers also began to raid the people on a large scale to fill their increasingly empty desires. The reason why they dared to do this was because they all had one news - that is, the Martial Arts Supreme had gone to sea, and he had not returned for ten years, and he might never come back.

Emperor Zhao Guicheng learned from Changle to help Lin'an divide the rudder that Qian Qingjian left him the antidote to the life and death talisman that was only enough for him to take for thirteen years, and from the beginning of the life and death talisman, if Qian Qingjian did not come back after thirteen years, he would not be able to live, so he had more and more crazy fun year by year recently, but he was afraid that he would not have enough fun when he died.

These ten years are also a decade of birth, old age, sickness and death.

First of all, Guo Jing's mother, Li Ping, died on Peach Blossom Island. The second is that the Huashan faction's Qisuqiu was terminally ill and died. Then it was Qiu Qianren, the patriarch of the Iron Palm Gang (in fact, Qiu Qianzhang) who drove the crane back to the west, and then the northern beggar Hong Qigong smiled at Jiuquan. Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen, who settled in Kunlun Mountain to recuperate, also died one after another due to the entanglement of cold and poison.

After Huang Rong's father, Huang Yaoshi, lived in seclusion in Dongting Lake for many years, he finally stopped lingering in Tiezhang Mountain, returned to Peach Blossom Island, and rebuilt a gorgeous flower boat, carrying the coffin and jade coffin of Huang Rong's mother Feng Yu, into the vast sea.

Master Yideng went to Tianzhu with his junior brother Tianzhu Monk and his disciple Ci'en, and then did not set foot in Middle-earth.

In the past ten years, the rivers and lakes were calm at first, but in the later period, Li Zhichang, the head of the Huashan faction, suddenly issued an announcement, saying that Zhen Zhibing, the former member of the Huashan faction, visited all the sects in the rivers and lakes, and under the challenge, the heads of the various sects died under Zhen Zhibing's sword one after another. The Huashan faction announced that it had drawn a line with Zhen Zhibing, and all of Zhen Zhibing's actions had nothing to do with the Huashan faction.

At the beginning of the decade, Guo Fu gave birth to a daughter, her grandmother didn't love her uncle, the girl was lost when she was six years old, and the Guo family didn't send anyone to look for her.

At the beginning of the decade, the beggar disciples got the news, saying that Guo Xiang also rented a sea boat and sailed away, but two years later, the beggar disciples had new news, saying that Guo Xiang returned to the inland and was still traveling all over the world, asking around whether the martial arts supreme had returned from overseas, but he never returned to Xiangyang.

Ten years later, in the seventh year of the Song Dynasty, the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan issued the "Edict of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", changing the name of the country from "Great Mongolia" to "Great Yuan". From the Great Mongolian Emperor to the Great Yuan Emperor, the Yuan Dynasty was formally established, and the capital was Dadu, that is, the original central capital Beijing.

Kublai Khan's political situation has been decided, the idea of the southern expedition has risen again, and after two years of preparation, he personally led an army of 600,000 to gather in Nanyang.

There are good reasons why Kublai Khan dared to make such an arrangement.

One of the reasons is that his own uncle Qian Qingjian went to sea and did not return, and the Central Plains Martial Arts is no longer united ten years ago, nor is it the strength of ten years ago, but the strength on his side is even stronger. After twenty-six years of hard practice, the Golden Wheel Dharma King, who practiced "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" to the eleventh layer, returned to serve under the tent again, and there were even more people with cold internal strength who took refuge, these two masters are the existence of the martial arts of the Southern Dynasty.

The second reason is that the court of the Song State was decayed and collapsed, and the powerful ministers fought for power and profit for many years, and unscrupulous means were used to suppress political opponents, so that Lu Wenhuan, the top military attache of the Xiangyang defenders, suffered greatly.

Ding Daquan and Jia Nidao are lifelong political enemies, these two have fought for power and profit all their lives, at first it was Jia Nidao who had the upper hand, and later Ding Daquan united with the other two "dogs" and Yan Guifei, and in turn suppressed Jia Nidao. When Ding Daquan ruled the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Wenhuan gave Ding Daquan many gifts, and in the sense of political standing, Lu Wenhuan was Ding Daquan's person.

However, ten years ago, Qian Qingjian, the supreme martial arts master, taught the emperor a lesson in Lin'an, and at the same time forced Ding Daquan's political ally Yan Guifei into prostitution, and Ding Daquan's career has gone downhill since then.

After Jia Nidao took over Ding Daquan's position, although he was committed to suppressing Ding Daquan, the so-called hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and Jia Rudao could not be accomplished overnight, so he could only be gradually impeached in front of the emperor and reduce Ding Daquan's official position year by year.

The last straw that crushed the camel was the case of Lu Wenhuan. According to Jia Nidao's investigation, 26 years ago, when Jia Nidao was in power, Lu Wenhuan once asked the imperial court for credit through Ding Daquan, saying that he had killed Kublai Khan, the fourth prince of Mongolia. At that time, the imperial court once gave Ding Daquan, who was in charge of the war, and Lu Wenhuan, who was on the front line, a heavier reward.

Of course, even if the four princes of Mongolia are really killed, this kind of credit is not too big, after all, it has nothing to do with the continuation of the Mongolian regime, and it cannot prevent the Mongols from coveting and attacking the Great Song Dynasty.

But when Kublai Khan ascended the throne and sat on the throne, set the capital in Dadu, and changed the name of the country, the problem of this war report was serious. In the words of Jia Rudao's recital, this is the crime of deceiving the king! Moreover, you are deceiving the king with a big lie! Didn't you kill Kublai Khan? How could the person you killed become the emperor instead?

So Jia Rudao gave Ding Daquan a fatal blow on this charge, and finally stripped Ding Daquan of all his official positions, and "fell into the water" and died on the way to the island.

Lu Wenhuan was undoubtedly implicated by Ding Daquan, because the battle exploit of "killing Kublai Khan" was originally declared by him, and he did not mention the names of Qian Qingjian, Yang Guo and others when he declared his military exploits, but reported in his personal name.

Under these circumstances, Kublai Khan sent the dead soldiers into Xiangyang, met Lü Wenhuan, and opened his warm arms to Lü Wenhuan - good birds choose trees to perch. (To be continued.) )
