"Father-in-law, during the battle in Jiangling, we met Sixth Senior Brother Feng Mofeng." Guo Mo said.
When "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi heard this, he put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes were in a daze, as if he was full of nostalgia for the past.
"Mo'er, Xuanfeng has already told me in detail about Lao Liu's matter after he came back. I still want to thank you."
"The Black Wind and the Two Evils" returned to "Peach Blossom Island" before Guo Mo, so they naturally wanted to report it to their master.
He met his sixth junior brother Feng Mofeng and was cured of his leg disease by Guo Mo. Chen Xuanfeng also taught him the "Whirlwind Leaf Sweeping Leg" as his senior brother and encouraged him to practice martial arts diligently when he had time.
However, Feng Mofeng has been interested in various weapons since he was a child, and he also likes to make them by himself in recent years. Guo Mo put him in charge of the craftsmanship camp of the "Dunwu Army".
"Father-in-law, in the future, the Jin cavalry will even face the more powerful Mongolian cavalry. Even if we also train cavalry, I am afraid we will not have the unique conditions they have."
"Therefore, I plan to add two special arms to the army. One is the 'Strong Crossbow Soldier', focusing on building the 'God Arm Crossbow'. Although the Song Army also has 'God Arm Crossbow', the number is really too small.
, cannot play a key role.”
"The other type is the 'Zhanma Dao', which has a greater demand for iron ore and requires high physical fitness of the sergeants. Back then, Yue Wumu's 'Beiwei Army' was one of the best."
"Within two years, I hope that the 'God Arm Crossbow' will be popularized, and there will be at least tens of thousands of 'Strong Crossbowmen'. I have decided to let Yue Ao form the 'Beiwei Army' again, and the selection of sergeants is already in progress.
.”
"Although the formation conditions of the 'Beiwei Army' were harsh and the investment was huge, especially the 'Beiwei Army' which was both infantry and cavalry, the effect was even more remarkable. There are detailed records in the 'Wu Mu's Suicide Note'.
"
"Father and son, Yue Ke and Yue Ao, are also determined to recreate the glory of their ancestors. Even if I try to sell iron, I will have to raise at least tens of thousands of 'Bei Wei Army'."
"Sixth Senior Brother was left in Jiangling by me, specifically responsible for supervising the production of the 'horse-cutting sword' and the 'god-arm crossbow'. The government also agreed to me and secretly dispatched a group of craftsmen to support."
"I'm afraid that Brother Six will not be able to come to 'Peach Blossom Island' to meet you in a short period of time."
Guo Mo said a little guiltily.
After all, the master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for many years. It was easy to find someone, but they couldn't come back because of their own affairs.
"Haha, silly boy, Mo Feng can help you and be loyal to the country. This is what he should do. Why do you come to see me?"
"Now it seems that among the apprentices I taught, the only ones that can really come in handy on the battlefield are Lao Wu's medical skills and Lao Liu's craftsmanship."
In the past six months of fighting against Jin, Guo Mo not only trained a reasonably qualified army, but also created a "battlefield medical team."
Wu Mienfeng has successively trained more than 300 battlefield first aid personnel to rescue the wounded in a timely manner, greatly reducing the mortality rate on the battlefield.
When injured soldiers return to the battlefield, they often fight more bravely and smarter than before.
Guo Mo ordered Wu Mienfeng to write down how to train ambulance personnel.
He also wrote to the officials to promote the "battlefield medical team" system throughout the Song Dynasty army.
"Mo'er, of your two children, the younger daughter has already been named 'Guo Xiang'. What do you plan to name the eldest?"
Seeing that Guo Mo didn't seem to care much about his son at all, Huang Yaoshi was still a little surprised.
In this era, the concept of "preferring boys over girls" is still very serious, not to mention Guo Mo's background and identity.
"What do you mean about that kid? Just give him a random name. Anyway, the officials have to give him a name, just like my 'Zhao Hao'. It's just a name. Just have a title."
Guo Mo really didn't care much about him, he was just a son, not a daughter.
"Dongxie" saw his face and felt that he had asked too much.
At that time, when the child was just born, he fought with the officials to get the "right to name" the child. Who would have thought that Guo Mo, the father, would be so out of tune?
"Hehe, but I still need a name, why not just call him 'Guo Yi'?"
Seeing his father-in-law's face darken, Guo Mo also felt that he seemed to be a little "too much" and hurriedly said.
"Guo Yi? Well, it really suits the character you named him. Do you want this child to live unrestrainedly? I'm afraid it won't be possible."
What is Guo Mo’s identity?
What is the identity of this child?
How can one achieve "ease"?
"So, give him the name 'Guo Yi'. As for what happens when he grows up, let's wait until his surname is Zhao. It has nothing to do with 'Guo Yi'."
Well, I can only comfort myself by deceiving myself like this.
Maybe Guo Mo has the same mentality now.
Guo Mo's "recuperation" life has officially begun.
Except for the untouchable ones, Nan Xiren would sort out and categorize the latest news from the "Imperial City Division" every three days and send special personnel to it. Guo Mo seemed to be isolated from the world.
In addition to practicing with Huang Rong every day, he would also train the three apprentices when necessary. Seeing them making progress every day, he, as a master, also felt "comforted".
In fact, Guo Mo felt somewhat guilty inside.
Most of the time before, these three apprentices were supervised by Huang Rong, and sometimes they were even taken care of.
Now that I finally have a lot of time, I naturally want to teach in person.
Zhang Shijie, Wu Nantian, and Hu Yande, under the guidance of Guo Mo, all practiced the "Yi Jin Sutra" in the "Nine Yin Manual".
Although they are not completely transformed like in the legend, their respective martial arts training qualifications have indeed improved a lot, and their martial arts training has progressed faster.
This point is even more obvious, especially in the case of Hu Yande.
He originally focused on external skills. In the "Huyan Spear Technique", he had some body-building and strength-gathering techniques. He also practiced the "Seven Styles of the Desert".
After practicing the "Easing the Muscles and Forging the Bones", in just three months, the "Seven Postures of the Desert" actually went a step further, directly reaching the fourth level of "Autumn Comes Like Snow".
Hu Yande's aura was more stable and he was able to adapt to the weight of the "Snake Spear Spear". There was no good horse for the time being, so Guo Mo had to contribute his yellow gelding first.
As the top disciple of the top sect, Zhang Shijie has been practicing internal energy the longest among these disciples.
Especially since he came to "Peach Blossom Island" for more than a year, now his "Quan Zhenxin Dharma" is about to reach the "small achievement state", and he is just short of a chance to make a breakthrough.
Speaking of the "Nine Yin Manual", when Guo Mo took out the first volume of the "Nine Yin Manual" given by his elder brother, "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi was not calm.
He looked at Guo Mo like he was a monster, why is your luck so good?
It’s okay to have good luck, why don’t you know how to cherish it?
Do you have this attitude towards martial arts secrets?
Just throw it on the table and say that anyone who wants to practice can do it?
"Dongxie" is not a casual person, so he took it over and kept it for him for now. When little Guo Xiang gets older, he will teach it himself.
"Well, father-in-law, the general outline of the 'Nine Yin Manual' should be written in Sanskrit. Do you understand Sanskrit? After you have finished the translation, give me a copy."
During this period of time when he was personally teaching his disciples, Guo Mo thought of another question.
These disciples used the "Quan Zhen Xin Method" or the "Seven Styles of the Desert" to start their internal skills. When they reach great success in the future, there seems to be no follow-up method.
His "Nine Yang Divine Skill" is too special, and there is no way to ensure that everyone can practice it to the extreme. Moreover, he has "selfishness" at work. He wants to train Yang Lai to practice it with all his strength.
Then, the skills of the other disciples can only fall on the "Nine Yin Manual".
Now the "Peach Blossom Island" and the "Nine Yin Manual" have both the upper and lower parts, so naturally they should be combined into one.
"Dongxie" respects his identity and does not practice, but it is still possible to learn from it.
Guo Mo is not so pretentious. If you have something good, why don’t you let your own people practice it?
"Sanskrit?"
Opening the manuscript, I saw that there were at least a thousand words in it, and Huang Yaoshi himself couldn't understand it.
This is the general outline. If the general outline is missing, the entire practice will be greatly compromised.
"What are you talking about? What Sanskrit?"
At this moment, Feng Heng and Huang Rong came in from outside.
After finally coaxing the two naughty boys to sleep, they were able to take a rest.
Guo Mo is a man who fears that the world will not be in chaos.
As soon as the twins passed a hundred days, he hurriedly used "Nine Yang Qi" to warm and nourish the meridians of the two children.
With the example of Xiao Yang Guo, Guo Mo did it even more skillfully.
Huang Yaoshi disagreed, but he couldn't stand Guo Mo's fallacies, saying that children before they are one year old have "innate true energy" in their bodies.
At this time, if you can give good guidance and learn martial arts when you grow up, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Although "Dongxie" is also hesitant, he can't stand it. He doesn't understand "Xian Zhenqi". It seems that he knows what he got from Guo Mo.
Guo Mo himself couldn't remember where he saw this argument in his previous life.
But whether it was from Yang Guo two years ago or now from the two children, it has been confirmed.
However, it seems that only my own "Nine Yang Divine Skill" can stimulate me slightly. I tried other skills, but there was no response.
Moreover, the amount produced was so miniscule that Guo Mo was not sure what use this small amount could be used for.
The only thing worthy of recognition is that Yang Guo, who is more than two years old, is taller than his peers, has not been sick much, and has better appetite, physical strength, and sleep quality than other children.
The twins were kept warm for a month, and the effects slowly began to show.
"Mother-in-law, we are talking about the general outline of the 'Nine Yin Manual', which is written in Sanskrit. It's a pity that no one understands Sanskrit. Doesn't it mean that my father-in-law is a 'scholar of heavenly beings'?"
Well, Guo Mo doesn’t understand Sanskrit, but he still has the nerve to “dislike” Huang Yaoshi?
"It's no big deal, just give it to me. I happen to know Sanskrit."
...
Peaceful days always pass quickly.
Winter has turned to spring, and the sixteenth year of Jiading has arrived.
This New Year, the official family came to "Peach Blossom Island" with the old eunuch one day early.
It has been almost half a year since the birth of his last two children. Zhao Kuo, who is already fifty-five years old, is more energetic than before.
I rode horses all the way from Lin'an to "Peach Blossom Island". Although I didn't gallop, I covered more than 400 miles in three hours.
"Hahaha - let me see my grandson and granddaughter."
Only when he came to "Peach Blossom Island" could Zhao Kuo be completely free, and the people in "Fulongju" already knew the identity of the visitor, just like they knew the identity of Guo Mo.
In a few years, not to mention the entire "Peach Blossom Island", at least the "iron walls" where "Fulong Residence" is run will not leak this secret, or there will be no chance to leak it.
"I've met 'Master'——"
Since the last time, Zhang Shijie and the others knew that they and others had such a special master, who was a member of the official family of the Song Dynasty, and their master was actually the son of the official family.
In this era, identity and blood relationships are taken very seriously.
When I first heard the news, the younger brothers couldn't accept it for a while and didn't know how to get along with the master.
After being severely scolded by Guo Mo several times, they finally understood: the master is the master, and it has no influence on whether he is His Highness the "King of Yan" or whether he is the son of an official family.
"Okay, they are all good boys. We haven't seen each other for half a year, and they have grown taller again. I won't give you any money notes this time. Several good horses will be sent over in the afternoon. You can each pick one then."
"Thank you Master——"
The three little ones can jump so high, especially Hu Yande. Although he rides Guo Mo's yellow gelding all day long, in his heart, he prefers to have a big black horse.
Zhao Kuo is willing to come to "Peach Blossom Island" because he likes the atmosphere here.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Who doesn’t want a happy family as an older person?
This New Year's Eve reunion dinner was so enjoyable that Zhao Kuo slept in "Fulongju" as a matter of course.
Even the old eunuch drank a lot of wine. After being a master and servant for so many years, in Zhao Kuo's heart, the old eunuch was a trustworthy companion.
The old eunuch did not have to worry about the safety of the official family at all. In addition to the "Peach Blossom Formation" on the island, in the past six months, Huang Yaoshi had divided up several formations outside "Fulongju".
Guo Mo felt that it was not necessary at all. As a result, getting in and out of "Fulongju" would inevitably cause more trouble.
However, Huang Yaoshi insisted on doing this.
In his opinion, not to mention the safety of personnel, even the peerless martial arts that Guo Mo put here could cause the entire world to fight several times if word spread.
"Mo'er, you've been off for a few months now. When do you plan to return to court?"
Zhao Kuo still asked about the purpose of his trip.
In his opinion, his son is too "lazy". He just stays on "Peach Blossom Island" and doesn't care about the important affairs of the court. Does he still have the consciousness of an official son?
It seems that I have been exhausted all day long, but this guy is better off. Why don't he do nothing here and "take care of himself"?
"Dad, these children are still young. I wasn't even there when they were born. I want to spend as much time with them as possible."
"I always pay attention to the news from the outside. Now the three armies of 'Dunwu', 'Zhongshun' and 'Jingnan' all have a full strength of 20,000 troops, but the horses are not enough."
"The manufacturing progress of the 'God's Arm Crossbow' is barely acceptable. We can produce a dozen of them every day. But this 'horse-killing sword' is not good. Even a skilled craftsman will take ten days to build one."
"Due to winter, the war in the north has also stopped. It is estimated that it will take another two months to restart. I am thinking, shouldn't we, the Song Dynasty, just watch from the back?"
"Oh, tell me, do you have any bad ideas?"
Zhao Kuo suddenly became energetic. As long as his son continued to worry about this all day long, he would be able to sit back and relax.
After more than a year, Zhao Kuo finally understood it.
Compared with his son, he is not even the slightest bit worse. Not to mention marching and fighting, even when it comes to knowing and employing people, this boy is better than me.
The people he recommended, whether they were civil servants or military generals, were all immediate choices.
As for its external policies and methods, the Song Dynasty made a lot of money in the past year.
The war in the north has been raging for a year. In order to seek support, the Jin Kingdom has completely exempted the Song Dynasty from the "yearly tax".
The original restrictions on bartering and exchanging war horses were mentioned by no one anymore.
The Song Dynasty successfully obtained more than 20,000 war horses from the Jin Kingdom and Xixia.
Even because of the shortage of troops, the Jin Kingdom also transferred the remaining 10,000 horses in Tangzhou.
Seeing this rare opportunity, Yu Jie, under the order of His Highness "King Yan", led the "loyal and shun army" and captured the entire territory of Tangzhou.
"Look at what you said, Dad, how can the child have any 'bad ideas'?"
"The war in the north has been going on for nearly a year. Although it is the Jinxia Alliance versus Mongolia, judging from the overall battle situation, Mongolia still has the upper hand. One-third of Xixia has fallen into the hands of the Mongols."
"The casualties of the Jinxia coalition forces will not be less than 100,000, while Mongolia only lost less than 30,000 people."
"In my opinion, if we fight for another year, the Mongols' advantage will become more obvious. I think it's time for us to send troops out."
"Oh, you want the Song Dynasty to also unite with the Jin Xia?" Zhao Kuo asked puzzledly.
"No, preparing for war and accumulating strength are still what we have to do in the new year. The number of troops we can pull out to fight is too small. I estimate that the number that can really be effective on the battlefield is only one to two hundred thousand?"
"What I mean is that it is enough to send a small number of troops, a few hundred people. Disguise yourself as Jin people, go to the grasslands to cause havoc, and drive a wedge between various tribes."
"Or go east to incite Goryeo and get them involved. While Mongolia is on its western expedition, let Goryeo send troops to attack eastern Mongolia. Even if we spend military expenses, this business will not lose money."
Guo Mo nonchalantly provided Zhao Kuo with ideas.
After all, Zhao Kuo has been an official for so many years, so he can certainly discern the consequences of doing so.
"Haha, how about a multi-pronged approach? Let's just dispatch five hundred smart and powerful soldiers from the 'Dunwu Army' and go to the Mongolian grasslands to wait for opportunities to cause destruction."
"Let the 'Imperial City Division' cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to do things to drive a wedge between the various tribes in Mongolia. It may not be effective immediately. When the war situation becomes tense, it may have unexpected results."
"I will leave it to Shi Miyuan to instigate Goryeo and send troops to eastern Mongolia. I think he can contact the Jin people to do this more safely."
"Okay, you can just stay at home and take care of the baby. Dad, I'll go back and work hard, hahaha——"
After getting what he wanted, Zhao Kuo left happily, not forgetting to take a few jars of "Peach Blossom Brew" from "Peach Blossom Island" before leaving.
After the first lunar month, the weather began to get warmer, and Guo Mo resumed his days of teaching his disciples to practice.
The officials brought several royal horses over, and Guo Mo rode back on his own yellow gelding, and also chose a bay-red horse for Huang Rong.
As expected, Hu Yande asked for a big black horse with a spear astride it. If he grew a beard, he could pretend to be Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Shijie asked for a white horse, which was clean and strong, while Wu Nantian chose a yellow horse like his master.
In the morning, I studied literature and calligraphy in "Yuying Hall", read military books, and discussed the art of war.
In the afternoon, I went to the small school field to practice riding, archery and horse fighting, and in the evening I practiced internal skills, palm skills and swordsmanship.
Guo Mo even took a day to give the snake gallbladder he brought from outside Xiangyang City to his three apprentices one by one. Their internal strength and vigor improved to a certain extent, and their resistance to poison was also increased.
As for the martial arts in the "Nine Yin Manual", in addition to the "Easing the Muscles and Forging the Bones", Guo Mo also found the "Nine Spiral Shadows" and taught them to three people at the same time.
As the child grew up, Huang Rong also began to practice, led by Feng Heng and several maids.
Huang Rong, whose skill has reached the first-class level, began to practice the mysterious "selfless magic skill".
As soon as he started practicing, Guo Mo stood by carefully.
This technique was passed down by Wu Yazi, and it seems that no one has practiced it yet. Who can guarantee that in that situation, his mentality will be distorted, leaving hidden dangers in the technique.
However, Huang Rong's cultivation went extremely smoothly. In just two months, the amount and quality of Qi in her body had improved significantly.
Guo Mo was very interested and asked Huang Rong to give him a trace of "selfless Qi", but he was completely unable to judge the properties of this Qi.
It seems to be exactly as it appears on the surface, completely unremarkable.
It is also different from the "Xian Zhen Qi" that Guo Mo has come into contact with. Now that Guo Mo wants to get "Xian Zhen Qi", he can only do so by practicing the "Coiling Dragon Stick Technique".
It's just that the amount produced is not very impressive. Guo Mo somehow feels that only when the true energy in his body is completely replaced by the "innate true energy", will there be a chance to break through the innate energy.
Seeing that Huang Rong was not in any danger, Guo Mo was relieved and took his three apprentices to the sea to catch fish, so as to combine work and rest.
By the time Guo Mo and the others returned to "Fulongju", it was already time to light the lanterns.
As soon as he entered "Lingqing Pavilion", Guo Mo felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Mother-in-law Feng Heng and Huang Rong were present, and even the "Black Wind Twin Demons" who announced their retreat as soon as they returned to "Peach Blossom Island" were also sitting in the room.
The two of them went out with Guo Mo and witnessed Guo Mo's powerful combat power with their own eyes. They deeply felt that they needed to improve their strength before they could be qualified as Guo Mo's guards.
Guo Mo naturally had nothing to say. The pursuit of progress in martial arts is the dream of every martial arts student.
Guo Mo even contributed "Easy Muscles and Forged Bones" and two snake gallbladders to them, hoping it would be helpful to them.
The current "Double Black Wind Demon" is firmly at the top of the first-class realm. In one-on-one battles, it is difficult to meet opponents at the same level.
Even compared to the current Guo Jing, he would still be among the best.
"Rong'er, what happened?"
It was supposed to be dinner time, but these people were sitting there in silence.
"Brother Mo, you are finally back. Do you want to take a look at this?"
When Huang Rong saw Guo Mo coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a piece of paper in her hand.
"Old friends meet up and leave the island temporarily. Don't miss me!"
