Chapter 9 Turning Point

Outside the city of Qudiao Alan, Yang Kang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Hua Zheng. Has he been discovered? Then he realized that Hua Zheng was the only one, and he must have followed Li Ping. But in this way, their whereabouts ended.

Exposed, he watched Hua Zheng walking towards this side and thought about countermeasures in his heart.

Are you going to knock him out and take him away?

There is an essential difference between taking away Li Ping and taking away Hua Zheng. The Mongols may not care about Li Ping, but the disappearance of the princess will definitely be traced, which will add unnecessary trouble to the rescue, but they cannot let Hua Zheng go now.

Zheng left, and no one could predict whether she would tell the Mongolians about it when she returned.

"Aunt Guo?" Hua Zheng walked closer and called with concern.

Li Ping poked her head out of the carriage with a surprised expression, and had no choice but to talk to Hua Zheng.

Yang Kang didn't want to waste any more time. Hua Zheng was a celebrity in the city and could easily attract attention. The longer the delay, the more dangerous it would be. He took advantage of Li Ping's excuse to deal with Hua Zheng and suddenly took action and dragged the Mongolian princess into the carriage.

, then whipped up his horse and whip, and left the Mongolian capital.

The route back has already been arranged. The men he brought will be behind to detect the Mongolian movements. Once the Mongolian army is chasing them, they will look for opportunities to create chaos and divert the Mongolian attention. This can be regarded as a successful rescue, except for many

A Mongolian princess appeared.

After galloping all the way, night fell and the carriage stopped on the vast grassland.

Yang Kang took out the prepared food and water. Hua Zheng had already woken up. Li Ping told her the reason for leaving Mobei. The Mongolian princess felt sad. Even Guo Jing and Aunt Guo were leaving. She and Guo Jing had known each other since childhood.

When six of Guo Jing's masters died because of saving her, Hua Zheng always felt guilty.

Since then, Guo Jing has been practicing martial arts hard, hanging out with a group of beggars, and spending much less time playing with Hua Zheng. What followed was endless war. The rise of Mongolia was built on constant killing and

In addition to expansion, Tuo Lei and Guo Jing are keen on war, while Hua Zheng stays with her mother.

Tuo Lei once asked her to marry Guo Jing, but then Wo Kuotai married her to the Song Dynasty. Hua Zheng read the booklet written by Shi Songzhi and knew that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was Wan Yankang. At this time

Only then did she understand why she had never seen His Majesty the Emperor in the Song Dynasty palace. Wan Yankang was deliberately avoiding her.

The Mongolian princess did not know that the Mongolian man eating dry food not far from her was Wan Yankang. Yang Kang asked Li Ping not to reveal his identity and just said that he was a passerby who was ordered to save people. He neither

He spoke and did not come into contact with Hua Zheng to avoid being recognized by Hua Zheng.

Li Ping looked at the man and woman and couldn't help but sigh. The so-called fate plays tricks on people. This is probably the case.

Now that she has come out, Hua Zheng no longer wants to go back to Qudiao Alan City. She wants to go to the territory of Tuo Lei in the Western Regions. Yang Kang feels that there is no objection to stopping by. At this time, there is a melee in the Central Plains, and there is also a war in the Western Regions. It is safest to pass through Tuo Lei territory.

route, just like that, they continued on their way.

A few days later, the three of them entered the territory of the Western Region and brought Hua Zheng safely to the city under Tuo Lei's rule.

Yang Kang looked at Hua Zheng's retreating figure, turned around and left. Fate made them meet and separate again.

At the same time, the Mongolian army had already attacked Xiangyang City. Due to Guo Jing's repeated military intelligence leaks, the Song army suffered successive defeats. They retreated all the way from Kaifeng City and finally retreated to Xiangyang. Xiangyang City was the Song Kingdom's gateway to defend the north. Once Xiangyang fell, the Mongolian army would

He was able to drive straight in and invade the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

Xiangyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Song Army has been operating in Xiangyang City for many years. Defending the city is the Song Army's strength. The Mongolian army has been attacking for half a month and still has no progress. Wo Kuotai couldn't help but think of Guo Jing. Facts have proved that the intelligence provided by Guo Jing is very good.

It is accurate and caused heavy losses to the Song army, which is worthy of belief.

If Guo Jing cooperated inside and outside the city and opened the gate of Xiangyang, why worry about the big thing not happening? However, Guo Jing has not been in contact for several days. Could it be that the Song army discovered it? Wo Kuotai began to worry.

This was exactly Meng Zongzheng's strategy. He used the entire Xiangyang City as bait to seize Wo Kuotai. The Song Dynasty lost tens of thousands of troops, allowing Guo Jing to initially gain Wo Kuotai's trust. However, it would be very difficult to lure the enemy at this time.

It is easy to arouse suspicion, and it is only possible to succeed when the Mongolian army cannot attack for a long time and becomes impatient.

The longer the Song army persisted in Xiangyang City, the more Wokuotai needed Guo Jing's help.

The offensive and defensive battle of Xiangyang City continued. The Mongol Khan was eager to make achievements, conquer the south of the Yangtze River and dominate the world, but Xiangyang City was blocking his path. King Jinlun and Gongsun Zhi once broke into Xiangyang City, but they were defeated by the Song Dynasty.

The country's martial arts masters stopped him, including Quanzhen master Yin Zhiping and Zhou Botong.

At the moment when Wo Kuotai was anxious, Guo Jing appeared. He roped in a group of beggars and waited for an opportunity to open the city gate and let the Mongolian army invade Xiangyang City. He had been doing this these days. Wo Kuotai discussed with Guo Jing.

It was decided to launch a general attack in three days and destroy the city in one fell swoop.

"The Great Khan, the minister, and General Meng are quite familiar with each other. This man is extremely courageous, brave and enterprising. However, these days of war are not like General Meng's style. There may be something fishy about this matter." Shi Songzhi dissuaded.

"What do you think?" Wo Kuotai asked.

"It is better to divide the troops." Shi Songzhi suggested. "You can send 30,000 troops into the city first to test it. If there is no ambush, then send the rest of the troops to attack. That way you will have no worries."

Ogedei thought about it and thought it was reasonable, so he accepted it. However, to be safe, he sent an army of 50,000. After all, this opportunity only came once, and it was a pity to waste it.

Three days later at night, the sound of fighting suddenly came from Xiangyang City, and then a bunch of fireworks rose into the sky. The gate of Xiangyang City was opened by the Beggar Gang. The opportunity was not lost, and the Mongolian army, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed in.

They rushed all the way to Xiangyang City, but when they were about to burn, kill and loot, they fell from their horses.

The roads in Xiangyang City have already been placed with snagging ropes and dug pits. Countless sharp arrows were shot from the surrounding houses. The powerful Mongolian cavalry was useless in the small space in the city and could not organize a large-scale charge. The neighing of the war horses

and the howls of the Mongolian soldiers resounded through the night sky.

The gate of Xiangyang City slowly closed, trapping 50,000 Mongol troops in the city.

Knowing that he had been ambushed, Wo Kuotai ordered the army outside the city to attack the city overnight to rescue the sergeants in the city. Meng Zongzheng had already made preparations for defense. The battle lasted from dark to dawn, until the screams in the city were complete.

After stopping, Ogedai understood that the fifty thousand soldiers would never come back.

This night was the turning point in the war.

The Great Khan of Mongolia was filled with resentment and ordered the removal of all Guo Jing's official positions in Mongolia. He was charged with treason and had Guo Jing's mother executed to avenge the 50,000 Mongolian soldiers. He did not know that Yang Kang and Li Ping had already entered the Song Dynasty at this time.
