Guo Zhongyuan is known as the last famous general of the Jin Kingdom and "the most famous general after crossing to the south".
Guo Zhongyuan came from a lower class and served in the Jin Dynasty court, after the Battle of Yehuling.
As a Han Chinese, although Guo Zhongyuan served in the Jin Dynasty, was given the surname Wanyan, and also fought with the Song Dynasty, in terms of what he did, he was still a hero of the world!
Guo Zhongyuan's "Flower Hat Army" numbered 30,000 people, most of whom were from Hebei. They were deeply impressed by their abilities and fought bravely.
However, Jin Xuanzong was afraid of Guo Zhongyuan's influence and transferred him to Caizhou to serve as the governor of the Zhennan Army, leaving Shandong and Huaibei where his influence was deeply rooted.
However, Guo Zhongyuan was unwilling to continue fighting against the Song Dynasty. He was passive and sabotaged his duties as the military governor of Zhennan Army and did nothing.
Guo Zhongyuan is both a master of strategy and a master of tactics.
Even though he was often suspected, he never changed his mind.
As strong as Mu Huali, three trees combined to defeat the capital are also defeated by his subordinates.
When Guo Mo heard that the other party introduced himself as "Wanyan Zhongyuan", he revealed his details and instantly went through the other party's life story in his mind.
What a pity, this is a handsome man who is extremely loyal to the Kingdom of Jin.
"Do you know me?"
Guo Zhongyuan saw that the other party told him his real name, and from the way he looked at him, it was clear that he was someone who was very familiar with him, and was not just famous.
"Haha, how could I not know about the famous commander of the Flower Hat Army?"
Guo Mo deliberately mentioned his "Flower Hat Army" in order to arouse his "hatred" towards Jin Ting, but unfortunately Guo Mo was still disappointed.
"That's all an old story. You killed dozens of sergeants under my command with just one step. You have to let me know who did it, right?"
Guo Mo began to "love talents" for the other party, but Guo Zhongyuan saw that Guo Mo faced two thousand cavalry troops and was surrounded by two thousand cavalry troops, but still kept his face and talked eloquently, and he also wanted to recruit him.
Guo Zhongyuan is a very special person. Perhaps because he comes from a lower class background, he pays special attention to and cultivates the truly capable soldiers in the army.
He trained for the Kingdom of Jin throughout his life and promoted many capable officers. Unexpectedly, his behavior made the rulers of the Kingdom of Jin even more wary of him.
"People who are not of my race must have different hearts." This statement is always mutual. Han people do not trust foreigners. In the eyes of foreigners, are Han people not also foreigners?
"Haha, what a coincidence. The old general's surname is Guo, and my surname is also Guo. If you really think about it, maybe five hundred years ago we were all members of the same family. But now, you are already a member of the 'Wanyan' family.
Already."
Guo Mo continued to "taunt", almost scolding the other party for "forgetting one's ancestors".
"My surname is Guo, and my given name is the word "mo". I have met Old General Guo."
Guo Mo still reported his name seriously and even saluted on his horse, but he always called the current Wanyan Zhongyuan "Old General Guo".
"Guo Mo? Are you Guo Mo, the commander-in-chief of the "Dunwu Army" of the Song Dynasty, the "Secretary of the Imperial City", the retired "Secretary of the Ministry of War", and the champion of martial arts?"
Guo Zhongyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Guo Mo announcing his family name. He only thought that the young man opposite him might be a talented person, but he didn't expect that he was the most popular figure in the Song Dynasty in the past two years.
It can be said that it was entirely because of Guo Mo's appearance that the Song Dynasty launched a trend of martial arts, and three powerful armies such as "Dunwu Army", "Zhongshun Army" and "Jingnan Army" appeared.
Only then did the Jin Kingdom "lose its territory" in front of the Song Dynasty for the first time in the past 100 years, losing both Deng and Tang states.
Even under the current general situation, the Jin State not only failed to pursue the case, but also reluctantly exempted the Song Dynasty from the "yearly tax".
The reputation of "Guo Zuoer" resounds throughout the country, even in the Nanyang area, to the point where it can make "children stop crying".
In the Kingdom of Jin, all the bloody generals would not want to encounter Guo Mo on the battlefield and then defeat him, thus wiping out the humiliation of the Jin Army.
Fortunately, Guo Zhongyuan is not an ordinary person. He has already passed the age of being brave and fierce. He is still a Han at heart.
When I heard that the person opposite was Guo Mo, apart from being slightly shocked, I actually felt a sense of inexplicable appreciation.
"How can Guo Mo dare to show off his reputation in front of the old general? This trip to the Kingdom of Jin was entirely to handle a private matter, and he did not want to alarm old general Guo."
"For the sake of both of us facing the powerful enemy from the north together, I would like to ask the old general to show his respect and fight less. The men behind you are best used on the battlefield against the powerful enemy from the north."
Guo Mo kept showing weakness, but he kept reminding Guo Zhongyuan that the biggest enemy of the Jin Kingdom was Mongolia in the north, not the Song Dynasty.
If Guo Zhongyuan still insists on going his own way, then it will only be more casualties among the golden soldiers under his command.
Seeing Guo Moyun's calm demeanor, Guo Zhongyuan had no doubt that the other party was bluffing, and thought for a moment before saying.
"Since Guo Dutong came here for personal matters, I will not stop him any more. I also hope that Guo Dutong will restrain himself, stop arguing, return to where he should be, and say goodbye as soon as possible."
After Guo Zhongyuan finished speaking, he actually turned the horse's head and went back along the way without any hesitation.
When the two thousand sergeants behind him saw the general leaving, they also galvanized their horses and followed him.
"Thank you, General Guo, for making it possible. The door of the Song Dynasty is always open to you——"
Seeing Guo Zhongyuan really leading his army to leave, Guo Mo moved his energy to Dantian and shouted loudly.
The sound spread so far at once that even Guo Zhongyuan, who had already run a mile away, could hear it clearly.
"you--"
He turned the horse's head and vaguely saw Guo Mo still waving in the direction he was leaving.
Guo Zhongyuan's heart sank. He didn't expect to be tricked by this kid like this?
He has no doubt that there are people sent by Jin Ting to monitor him under his command.
Guo Mo, who was opposite him, must have known this, so he added this sentence even after he had already let him go.
It's a heart-breaking killing!
Guo Zhongyuan even felt that there were already a few pairs of strange eyes staring at him around him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Go back and catch Guo Mo to prove his innocence?
Let’s not talk about whether we can catch Guo Mo. Even if we do catch him, will he be able to prove himself?
"Why--"
After weighing for a long time, Guo Zhongyuan left with two thousand cavalry troops.
As for whether this matter would bring him more trouble, he had no power and no intention to worry about it.
"Master, are they really gone?"
Seeing the Jin army leaving, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Especially the three boys who came to the battle for the first time were so unbearable that their backs were wet. Surrounded by so many Jin cavalry, in addition to the excitement in their bones, they also felt a little bit of fear instinctively.
"Well, they left, let's leave too." Guo Mo didn't explain too much.
Guo Zhongyuan's men and horses left as quickly as they came.
As for Guo Zhongyuan's behavior, Guo Mo can also understand that he has won this time by knowing himself and the enemy.
It came so unexpectedly, and I hope there will be more surprising results in the future.
The six of them did not delay any longer and continued heading north.
After this experience, Guo Mo no longer wanted to be passive and wanted to train his three apprentices on the ground.
Let the "Double Black Wind" partner up with one of the apprentices to travel ten miles ahead to conduct reconnaissance, report the location, purchase food, arrange accommodation, etc.
The third child also carried out the task meticulously, just like this, station by station, heading north-west and entering Henan Mansion.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong came to this area a few years ago. When they worshiped Shaolin Buddha and obtained the "Nine Sun Sutra", they took this road south.
However, there are obviously more sergeants patrolling now than there were back then.
In almost every county and every important traffic pass, there are Jin soldiers checking, especially those coming from the north.
Guo Mo and his party also attracted Jin Bing's attention.
It's just that they came from the south, and they don't look like ordinary people in their clothes. They are also equipped with two horses, especially the war horses of the army.
The most important thing is that Guo Mo was very generous with his actions, so that the golden soldiers stationed there did not dare to offend easily.
After the Jin Dynasty moved to Bianliang, many dignitaries from the Jin Kingdom came to stay or visit temporarily in Henan Mansion.
Suddenly, the old capital of Luoyang was prosperous again, and Guo Mo and the others also rushed to Luoyang.
It's not that they want to go sightseeing, but the largest branch of the Beggar Clan in the Jin Kingdom is in Luoyang, with Lu Youjiao personally in charge.
In fact, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Luoyang was once the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan.
Back then, the extremely powerful Bei Qiao Feng succeeded him as the leader of the Beggar Clan in Luoyang.
Later, the Jin State destroyed the Song Dynasty in Bianliang and took all the territory north of the Huaihe River. Naturally, Henan Prefecture fell into the hands of the Jin people.
It was at that time that the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan moved from Luoyang to Junshan in Dongting Lake.
The six of them entered Luoyang City and stayed in a medium-sized inn in the east of the city. It was not so eye-catching and they could rent a courtyard to themselves.
Now is the peony blooming season in Luoyang, and there are many tourists who come here to visit, so the inn seems a bit crowded.
Guo Mo and his group had a large number of people, so they booked a small courtyard, which cost almost double the usual price.
After settling in, Chen Xuanfeng went out to look for people from the Beggar Clan.
In this era, it is difficult to find other people, but people looking for beggars can be found everywhere.
It's just that I didn't have the other party's contact code and rashly stepped forward to see the elders of the Beggar Clan, which still caused some unnecessary trouble.
Chen Xuanfeng couldn't be cruel. Since the other party was unwilling to take him there, he simply waited and waited.
He took action to restrain several members of the Beggar Clan, and threatened to ask Lu Youjiao to come and collect them in person.
Lu Youjiao came after hearing the news and soon met Chen Xuanfeng who came to "pick quarrels and cause trouble."
The two met at the "Junshan Conference" that year. After meeting, of course they knew it was a misunderstanding.
Lu Youjiao calmed everyone down and followed Chen Xuanfeng to the inn to see Guo Mo.
"The beggar gang Lu Youjiao has met Guo Dutong."
People in the Beggar Clan value loyalty and patriotism most. Guo Mo is the brother of their leader and the founder of the "Dunwu Army".
When Guo Mo swept the Jin cavalry in the Lianghu area and earned the name "Guo Zuoer", he vaguely became the new anti-Jin banner of the Song Dynasty.
Especially after the recapture of Dengzhou and Tangzhou, countless passionate young people in the Song Dynasty seemed to see the hope of returning north to the Central Plains and returning to the old capital.
"Elder Lu is here, please take a seat quickly."
Guo Mo also had special respect for Lu Youjiao. Although this person was mediocre in talent, he had always been loyal and dedicated to the Beggar Clan and the Song Dynasty for decades.
Lu had a straightforward temperament and would not beat around the bush, so he asked directly after sitting down.
"Guo Dutong, why are you here? Do you need help from the Beggars?"
Guo Mo asked Lu Youjiao to come here because he wanted to borrow the power of the Beggar Clan. Otherwise, they might not even be able to find out the information with just a few of them.
"Elder Lu, to be honest, Guo received news that my mother and several masters in the desert should have gone south to return to the Song Dynasty."
"On the way, we were successively harassed by Mongolians and Jin people. There were about 300 people in their party. They were expected to cross the Yellow River from Luoyang, so Guo came here specially to meet them."
"I'm just unfamiliar with the place, and I don't know the situation north of the Yellow River. I can't contact them, so I just want to ask Elder Lu to help me with this."
Guo Mo recounted the news he had received and possible speculations about what happened.
Lu Youjiao naturally wouldn't refuse. Guo Mo's mother, isn't she the mother of his gang leader?
How is this helping? It is clearly the responsibility of the Beggars Clan.
"Guo Dutong, please don't be polite. You and the Beggar Clan are one, and the Beggar Clan has no one to blame for this matter."
"There is also our sub-rudder in Huaizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River, and there are also several beggar boats at Mengjin Ferry, where they fish and carry passengers for daily living."
"It's just that the ship is not big. If we carry three hundred people plus horses, I'm afraid it will take several trips. Recently, the Jin Kingdom's sentry inspections have suddenly increased at the ferry. It's better for us to be careful."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Lu Youjiao accepted it generously, Guo Mo was very moved and took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed it over.
"Elder Lu, it's not easy for the brothers of the Beggar Clan. This matter also involves huge risks. You should take the banknote first and distribute it to the brothers who are responsible for the specific work."
"Guo Dutong, what's wrong with this? We are also going to pick up our gang leader's mother. If we have to charge money for this, wouldn't it make the world laugh at us if word spread?"
When Lu Youjiao saw Guo Mo take out the banknote, his face sank.
"Elder Lu has misunderstood. The brothers of the Beggar Clan are my own brothers, Guo Mo. The world must uphold moral principles, but no one's life is affected by the strong wind."
"Some people are also raising families. With this money, many things are more convenient, and sometimes the risks of doing things for brothers can be reduced. I believe that even my eldest brother here will agree with me doing this.
"
In the end, Guo Mo still forced the banknote to Lu Youjiao.
Lu Youjiao saw that the other party was sincerely willing to give it, and considering that it was indeed difficult for him to establish a branch of the Beggar Clan in the Kingdom of Jin, he accepted it against his will.
When Lu Youjiao returned to the Beggar Gang branch, he summoned all the small leaders of the Beggar Gang in Luoyang City and held a meeting.
The whereabouts of Guo Mo and the others were not disclosed, but all personnel were sent out to pay close attention to the happenings in Henan Prefecture.
At the same time, dozens of disciples were sent to the north bank of the Yellow River to find Li Sheng, the "Snake King of Jiangdong".
For more than a year, Li Sheng has been responsible for managing the daily affairs of the entire Beggar Clan north of the Yellow River.
Guo Mo and the others were waiting for news at the inn. Three days passed and there was still no news.
The three apprentices did not dare to run out to play, so they stayed in the inn obediently, polishing their internal strength under the leadership of senior brother Zhang Shijie.
Early on the fourth day, Lu Youjiao came to the door, followed by a Sanbao disciple in his twenties, who was walking in a hurry.
"Elder Lu, is there any news?"
Guo Mo hurriedly came out and stayed here for three whole days waiting for news. Guo Mo himself could not hold his breath anymore.
"Guo Dutong, this brother Chen comes from the north bank of the Yellow River. He brings a piece of news that may be related to the person you are looking for. Brother Chen, tell Guo Dutong what you know word for word.
"
The Sanbao disciple named Chen first saluted Guo Mo and then said.
"After receiving the order from Elder Lu, I took my own people and was assigned by Elder Li to Zezhou Mansion to find out the news."
"Near Jue Mountain, we encountered a group of Jin cavalry who were chasing and killing several people, including a girl. The girl seemed to be injured."
"Brothers, we didn't originally intend to take over the matter. After all, the matter ordered by Elder Li was also very urgent, and we saw several people guarding the girl, all dressed as Mongolian guards."
"Now, wars between Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom are everywhere, and the brothers just want to hide away."
"There were nearly thirty Jin cavalrymen and only four Mongolian guards. Although they were brave and fearless, they were still outnumbered. After killing more than twenty Jin cavalrymen, all four of them died in battle."
"Everyone of the remaining five or six Jin cavalrymen was injured. At this time, we saw that these few Jin cavalrymen actually wanted to insult the girl in public."
"But the injured girl was unable to resist, so she had to shout 'help', and everyone realized that the girl was a Han Chinese."
"The brothers took advantage of her unpreparedness, swarmed up and killed the few Jin soldiers. It turned out that the girl was poisoned and could not use her skills. She only said that she came from the desert and fell unconscious."
"We didn't dare to delay, so we took away the Jin people's war horses, took the girl back to Huaizhou Branch, and reported back to Elder Li. When we came down, the girl was still unconscious."
The disciple of the Beggar Clan surnamed Chen spoke in great detail. After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes the brutality of the four guards facing thirty Jin cavalry troops.
"Brother Chen, what's that girl's name? How old is she?"
Guo Mo asked hurriedly.
"The situation was urgent at the time, and we didn't have time to tell her her name. She also begged us to rescue her companion. She was not very old, she looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old."
"Thirteen or fourteen years old? Could it be Ting'er?"
Guo Mo couldn't sit still. If it was really Zhang Ting, she would have fallen into this situation, and the situation of others would be even more worrying.
"Elder Lu, please prepare a fast boat. I will go to the north bank of the Yellow River now. I'll trouble Brother Chen to make another hard trip and lead the way."
Before Lu Youjiao came, he had already ordered the dock and the boat was ready.
Guo Mo and others also made some preparations, and rushed to Mengjin Pier with their war horses and handy weapons.
Not only the Sanbao disciple named Chen, but also Lu Youjiao also went with him, and he told the Beggar Clan disciples who stayed in Luoyang to be ready to respond at any cost.
When Guo Mo and his party arrived at Huaizhou City, it was already dark, and the wind coming from the Qin River was slightly cool.
In the compound of a middle-class family, Guo Mo and his party met Li Sheng, the "Snake King of Jiangdong".
"Elder Li, where is that woman?"
As soon as he saw Li Sheng, Guo Mo dismounted his horse and asked hurriedly.
"Guo Dutong, don't be anxious. The woman is in the wing. Come with me."
Li Sheng led the way, Guo Mo followed closely, and everyone else went to the hall to wait.
The light has been turned on in the wing, and there is a strong smell of medicine in the room. A girl is lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, but she is still shivering from the cold.
"Guo Dutong, Mr. Li judged that this woman was poisoned, but he didn't know what kind of poison she was poisoned, so he tried to give her an antidote, but it didn't seem to be right."
Li Sheng said with some embarrassment. He was also nicknamed "Jiangdong Snake King". Naturally, he was also good at playing with snakes and poisoning them, but he was helpless against the poison poisoned by the girl in front of him.
"Ting'er——"
Guo Mo recognized it at a glance. The person lying on the bed was none other than Zhang Ting, the daughter of the fifth master "Xiao Mi Tuo" Zhang Asheng and "Yue Nv Sword" Han Xiaoying.
It’s been four or five years since I last saw her, and the little girl back then has grown up.
Calculating the time, I have already passed my thirteenth birthday, which is slightly younger than Wu Nantian and half a year older than Zhang Shijie.
Even though he has grown up, his childhood appearance can still be seen on his face.
Now his face was pale, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he was trembling constantly, which made Guo Mo feel distressed.
"Thank you very much, Elder Li. This woman is my junior sister. Could you please Elder Li, please wait outside while I help my junior sister use kung fu to drive away the poison."
Guo Mo took one look and determined that Zhang Ting was not poisoned, but received a poisonous palm, and it was the "Ice Palm" that he was familiar with.
"Ouyang Ke? You are looking for death!"
Li Sheng went out and arranged food and accommodation for everyone for the time being.
Guo Mo stepped forward and helped Zhang Ting up. A chill came from her trembling body.
Just like he did when he was a child, Guo Mo hugged Zhang Ting in front of him, supported her with one hand and pressed her back with the other, slowly injecting the "Nine Sun Qi" into Zhang Ting's body.
Guo Mo could feel that Zhang Ting was in very bad condition. Judging from the time, she had been injured for at least two days.
The "Nine Sun Qi" traveled through Zhang Ting's body over and over again, expelling every trace of the "Ice Qi" from her body.
"Wow——" Zhang Ting spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The blood spitting on the ground was covered with black and purple ice particles.
Guo Mo knew that the little junior sister's life was saved.
The "Ice Qi" has been eliminated, Guo Mo continues to inject "Nine Yang Qi" into Zhang Ting, constantly repairing the damaged meridians in her body.
If it weren't for Guo Mo's "Nine Yang Magic", even if Xiao Zhang Ting was saved, she would have been in trouble if she wanted to practice martial arts again.
By examining the meridians in Zhang Ting's body, Guo Mo was able to determine that this little girl had worked hard over the years.
The internal strength she practices is also the "Seven Styles of the Desert" created by "Flying Bat" Ke Zhen'e. It seems that she has reached at least the fourth level of "Autumn Comes Like Snow".
During this period, the eldest disciple Zhang Shijie came in and asked the master if he needed to eat?
Guo Mo waved his hand and drove him out.
If it is not broken, it cannot be established; if it is broken, it will be established.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to heal Zhang Ting, Guo Mo spent more than an hour helping her open the twelve main meridians. After the meridians were restored, she entered the second-rate realm.
Zhang Ting's breathing gradually became calmer, and her body no longer felt cold.
Guo Mo gently laid her down, fed her a "Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill", and fell into a deep sleep.
Guo Mo himself sat beside the bed and watched.
Just like when Guo Mo had a fever when he was a child, Master Seven also guarded himself in this way.
The morning sunshine came in through the window lattice and shone on Zhang Ting's face.
Perhaps feeling the stimulation of the light, Zhang Ting opened her eyes.
I looked around and remembered that I was being hunted, wasn't it?
"Where am I?"
The voice asking the question was a little weak, but it still woke up Guo Mo.
"Ting'er, are you awake?"
Guo Mo was very excited when he saw Zhang Ting waking up.
"Are you? Second Senior Brother? Are you Second Senior Brother?" Zhang Ting also recognized Guo Mo.
Although they were separated for several years, Guo Mo was almost 18 when he left, but his appearance has not changed much in the past few years.
Even though he was running around in the military camp, he kept his fair skin strangely, and even Huang Rong was a little jealous.
"Ting'er, it's me, my second senior brother."
"Second Senior Brother——"
After receiving Guo Mo's confirmation, Xiao Zhang Ting could no longer hold herself tight. She supported herself with strength, threw herself into Guo Mo's arms, and cried bitterly.
Guo Mo didn't say anything, and quietly waited for the little girl to finish crying.
"Second Senior Brother, hurry up, go and save your parents, they are surrounded by the Jin people and the Mongols."
