After hearing this, Xia Xun thought to himself: "This man's ancestor is actually a county king? He is really a queen of a famous family. [] Huh? That's not right. The Tang Dynasty was dominated by the Li family, but his surname was Guo... Oh, I think he is a king with a different surname.
,In the Tang Dynasty...the surname Guo had a different surname, Wang...,that was..."
Before he had time to connect the title of Fenyang County Prince with which famous person in Guo from the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yujue was already shocked and said in awe: "It turns out that the ancestor of the old gentleman is the one who has the power to dominate the world and does not restrain the government. His achievements are unparalleled."
Guo Ziyi and Guo Laolinggong, who have never doubted their masters from generation to generation?"
Guo Yixuan smiled and said: "It's the ancestor."
When Liu Yujue said this, Xia Xun also remembered it. The two of them hurriedly saluted and said, "Disrespectful, disrespectful."
Guo Yixuan smiled and said: "That is just the glory of our ancestors. It happened hundreds of years ago and is not worth mentioning."
He spoke modestly, but when he mentioned the glory of his ancestors, he couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face.
Guo Yixuan sighed and said: "Since the Tang Dynasty, my Guo family has been in decline. Until the Jin Dynasty, the ancestor of my Guo family, Yuchengong, knew the art of war, was good at riding and shooting, and was appreciated by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. He first served as Meng'an, and then
After his meritorious service, he was granted the title of Duke of Fenyang County and revitalized the Guo family.
But not long after, the Jin Dynasty was exhausted and was destroyed by the Mongols. Baoyu Gong surrendered to the Mongols and followed the general Muhuali to fight in the original state. This was the period when our Guo family flourished again, and Yuchengong accompanied the Yuan Emperor to conquer the Khitan.
The surviving members of the ancient Xu Gui Kingdom invaded Yiduo and other cities and defeated their more than 300,000 soldiers. They captured Beelse Bali, Beelse Lan, Mali and other cities. They also collected Khitan, Bohai, etc. from the two vanguards of Zhebai and Subutai.
All countries can be said to have made great achievements.
Haha, when our ancestors personally conquered the Western Regions, the areas such as Beelse Bali and Beelse Lan were recovered by our ancestors from the Khitan remnants. Unexpectedly, a few hundred years later, Guo would have the opportunity to come here again, so he paid close attention to every plant and tree here.
Every grain or cloud makes me feel very friendly. I like to walk around when I have nothing to do, and I ended up meeting you, my little brother, here."
Xia Xun didn't know that the descendants of Guo Ziyi and Guo Lainggong had worked in the Jin Dynasty and were high officials in the Yuan Dynasty. When he introduced his identity just now, he thought that the Guo family had been living in a foreign land during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Then when he heard his boast
After experiencing it, some resistance suddenly arose in my heart.
In fact, there were many famous Han general families during the Yuan Dynasty. For example, the famous Yang family generals, whose descendants served as military meritorious officers in the Yuan Dynasty and rose to the rank of General Longhu. Another example is Shi Tianze, Liu Zheng, Dong Jun, Li...,
The Zhang family, a family of Han generals in the Yuan Dynasty, was no less famous than the Guo family.
Zhang Rou of the Zhang family was named Cai Guogong by the Yuan Dynasty for his military exploits. His eldest son conquered Hangzhou and captured the five-year-old Song Gong Emperor and the Queen Mother Xie and Queen Mother Quan. They drowned Queen Mother Yang in the Battle of Yashan and forced Prime Minister Lu Xiufu to carry him on his back.
Zhang Hongfan, whose young master Zhao jumped into the sea and died, and his second son Zhang Hongzheng, who captured Tianxiang, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.
The credit of the Zhang family is mainly in the Yuan Dynasty, and the credit of the Guo family is mainly in the Western Regions. If the descendants of the Zhang family were here, it would be even more difficult for Xia Xun to accept it. For these families of famous Han officials in the Yuan Dynasty, their performance at that time was just that they were doing their own thing.
It's just his master, he doesn't think anything of it.
These Han famous general families were actually under the rule of Liao as early as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. During the Great Rebellion, they were mostly under the rule of Liao. In the Southern Song Dynasty, they became Han people in the areas ruled by the Jin Dynasty. Many of these famous families were established in the Song Dynasty.
, and had no contact with the original Han regime.
Among these famous generals of the Yuan Dynasty, only one Liu Zheng was once a general of the Song Dynasty and later surrendered to the Mongols. But even he was originally a Han Chinese under the rule of the Jin people, but later the Mongols destroyed the Jin people. Between Mongolia and the Song Dynasty, he chose
In order to lead his private army to surrender to the Song Dynasty, unfortunately, the powerful and traitorous Jia Sidao eliminated the dissidents and forcefully forced him to side with the Mongols.
In order to fight for power at that time, Jia Sidao had many famous heroes and generals imprisoned and tortured to death. Even Wang Jian, who made immortal contributions to the Song Dynasty in the Battle of Diaoyu City, fell into Jia Sidao's plan, let alone
Liu Zheng? Liu Zheng once sent people to Hangzhou to complain to the emperor, but he was not accepted at all. When he saw that the butcher's knife was about to reach his neck, he suddenly changed his mind and surrendered Luzhou and its 15 counties with 300,000 households.
to Mongolia.
Liu Zheng not only proposed a strategic concept for the Mongols to capture Xiangyang first, but also established a powerful naval force for the Mongols, which eliminated the naval advantage of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was Liu Zheng who prompted the Yuan Dynasty to make major strategic adjustments.
As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty, which had maintained peace in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 140 years, perished. The Southern Song Dynasty could be said to have destroyed itself. If it hadn't been for the treacherous Prime Minister Jia Sidao, the Southern Song Dynasty might not have perished.
Although Xia Xun was hostile to Guo Yixuan, he couldn't show it on his face. Seeing that he was chatting with Liu Yujue with great interest, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Old sir, it's rare to meet people from my hometown here. Please sit down and talk. It's just here."
It’s too shabby, no tea is served, and the hospitality is not good, please don’t blame me.”
Xia Xun's skin color has turned dark brown, and he has a beard. At first glance, Guo Yixuan didn't notice that he was a compatriot, and thought he was a Mongolian. When he heard his gentle words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
:"Who is this……"
Xia Xun sighed and said: "It's hard to say anything. Old sir, please sit down and let's talk slowly."
Guo Yixuan was not polite. He took a look at the box and used it as a seat as the top of the box was quite clean. Guo Yixuan was very excited to see his former compatriots here. He was very talkative and at the same time very proud of the achievements of the ancestors of the Guo family. Liu Yujue asked
, and he started talking nonstop.
Speaking of which, after the Tang Dynasty, it was really not until the Jin and Yuan dynasties that the Guo family regained its glory. After Guo Baoyu, famous generals of the Guo family emerged in large numbers. Guo Baoyu's eldest son Guo Dehai once defeated the Song general Peng Yibin, and then followed Kuo Kuo to attack
Jin, who made many military exploits. Guo Baoyu's second son, Guo Deshan, also made great military exploits and was later awarded the title of Marquis of Wanhu.
His grandson Guo Kan was even more powerful. As Mongolia's deputy marshal for the Western Expedition, Guo Kan followed Hulagu in the Western Expedition to India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Frankfurt. He destroyed more than 700 cities and was praised by his opponents as "
"The Divine General of the East" became the only Han general who captured Baghdad, drank from the sea of horses, and defeated the Crusaders.
In addition to martial arts, the Guo family later produced another famous person, Guo Shoujing, a famous water conservancy expert, engineer and scientist in the Yuan Dynasty.
However, the Yuan Dynasty Han general family like the Guo family was in an extremely embarrassing situation when the Yuan Dynasty fell. Zhu Yuanzhang showed no mercy to the captured Yuan Dynasty officials, and many officials were demoted to low status and became slaves from then on.
These Han officials in the Yuan court were worried about being discriminated against and mistreated by the Ming court, so when the Yuan Dynasty withdrew from Dadu, they all fled. Some of them fled to Mobei with the Northern Yuan court, and more fled to the Western Regions.
Because there were still khanates established by the Mongols in the Western Regions at that time, the Guo family fled to the West at that time, and had been fleeing for more than 40 years.
After Guo Yixuan finished talking about his own experience, he asked curiously about Liu Yujue's experience. For him, someone with such a solid foundation of Sinology like Liu Yujue must have come from his hometown if he was not from a Han family in the Western Regions. Xia Xun was right
Liu Yujue's background was carefully planned, and then Liu Yujue explained it to Guo Yixuan in accordance with the pre-agreed statement.
Liu Yujue's argument is that he was the son of a wealthy gentry in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. During the Jingnan War, his family fully supported Shandong Governor Tie Xuan in his fight against King Yan. When King Yan conquered the world, his family was liquidated.
The entire family, old and young, was massacred. Qi Wei, a steward who was loyal to the Bai family, was entrusted by his master to escape with Liu Yujue, who was still a teenager at the time. Finally, the Bai family's popularity was not ruined.
The steward Qi Wei who saved him from leaving is now the circus busboy Xia Xun. The two of them were hiding in Tibet. Because they did not dare to stay there for a long time, they fled to remote areas and were later forced to live in a circus troupe.
I didn’t expect that after ten years, I would have been transferred to a foreign land.
Speaking of sadness, Liu Yujue couldn't help but shed tears. Liu Yujue's true feelings were true, because he thought of his old father. His old father only had an only son, but he had never wanted to get married because he was an adult.
I don't know how sad this is for the old man. Now that he is living in the Western Regions, his father must have thought that he was dead. The old man is already old, so how can he still suffer such a blow?
"I, Liu Yujue, am unfilial"
The more Liu Yujue thought about it, the more she shed tears, and the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She secretly decided in her heart: If she could escape from her life this time and return to her original state, even if she didn't like it, she would choose a woman to have a family and give birth to a child.
Son and half daughter, to comfort the old father's heart.
Seeing him so sad, Guo Yixuan couldn't help but feel moved, and sighed softly: "I have heard about the Battle of Jingnan. I heard that the most tragic battle at that time took place in Jinan. He is just a dead man. Little brother, don't do it again.
I'm so sad. This time Timur Khan is marching his army eastward, determined to win. Only when Timur Khan takes over the original world and destroys the Zhu Dynasty, your bloody revenge will be avenged, and then you can return in an upright and fair manner.
Hometown..."
Speaking of this, Guo Yixuan showed a look of longing, and after a long while he said leisurely: "I have left home when I was young, and I still have a vague impression of my hometown in Dadu. Every time I think of it, I feel fascinated..."
Guo Yixuan took a breath and cheered up: "Little brother, tell me more about your hometown. Speaking of which, my hometown is not far from your Jinan Mansion."
Regarding Yuan, all Guo Yixuan could remember was some of his childhood demeanor. It was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty when he was young and left home. Everything Liu Yujue said, although they were old things a few years ago, were still very fresh to him.
, listening to Liu Yujue’s eloquent talk, vaguely remembering the past events of his childhood, Guo Yixuan couldn’t help but burst into tears.
The Guo family is a noble of the Yuan Dynasty. They are quite hostile to the Ming Dynasty, which overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. However, they have deep feelings for their hometown and the people in their hometown. Homeland love, hometown love, are the most basic human emotions and are established beyond the establishment of different power groups.
Above the country and clan, and since both he and Liu Yujue were persecuted by the Ming Dynasty, they felt even more intimate.
As soon as the conversation started, the two chatted for a long time. The performance in front of them had ended, and the audience dispersed one after another. Everyone was busy packing up various utensils. Guo Yixuan still held Liu Yujue, trying to recall the places he had experienced in his childhood.
What he had experienced, and then asked him about it one by one.
Xia Xun couldn't say anything, so he went busy with everyone. Guo Yixuan listened to Liu Yujue for a long time, then picked up his sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with emotion: "It's rare for you and me to get together here.
There is a saying in my heart, I don’t know whether to say it or not.”
Liu Yujue said hurriedly: "Old sir, if you have anything to say, please say it. Yuluo is all ears."
Guo Yixuan said: "Yuluo, I, you, have a handsome character and extraordinary knowledge. It would be a pity if you were to fall into this position and your white jade would be covered with dust. I am getting old, and I am very happy to see my compatriots from my hometown today. You are a scholar, and you will be a scholar all your life."
It would be a pity to hang out in a circus troupe. I am currently serving as an official in Timur Khan's army, and I want to arrange a future for you, are you willing?"
Liu Yujue was surprised and said hurriedly: "The old gentleman is elegant and well-educated. Unexpectedly, he is also a general who fights on the battlefield."
Guo Yixuan laughed and said: "Hey, who said the army is only for generals? Tamerlane Khan's army has many scholars serving him, such as astronomers, mathematicians, chemists, construction engineers, military architects, etc.
They are all highly regarded by Khan."
Liu Yujue said in surprise: "Then the old gentleman is...?"
Guo Yixuan puffed up his chest slightly and said, "I am now responsible for the research on military architecture and military equipment in Timur Khan's army."
Liu Yujue thought to himself: "My eldest brother is worried about how to get close to Timur. If I use this person, can I get close to him?"
At the thought of this, Liu Yujue's heart suddenly jumped...
Guo Yixuan expected that he would definitely agree. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "How?"
Liu Yujue thought for a moment and said: "Yu Luo is very grateful to Mr. for his favor. When people go to higher places and can be promoted by their husbands and have a decent career, Yu Luo is naturally very willing. But Yu Luo does not only have one sympathetic person.
Brother's stewards are all the people in this circus. After many years of getting along, they are like a family. I wonder if your husband may arrange them in the military camp? It doesn't matter if the work is dirty and tiring. We people sleep in the open and run around everywhere, so we can endure hardships.
of."
"this……"
Guo Yixuan couldn't help frowning after hearing this. He felt sorry for Liu Yujue, who was a talented person but ended up working in the circus to make a living. He originally wanted to accept him as his student, but how could anyone enter the military camp casually? With his status, he wanted to accept him as a student.
It's easy to bring them in, but he has no right to bring individuals, women and children into the military camp for placement.
Liu Yujue couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard him explain his difficulties. However, this was a good opportunity to get close to Timur. At least he had the opportunity to enter the military camp, so he shouldn't let it go.
Liu Yujue said sincerely: "Sir, Yuluo is very willing to follow the right path with him, but everyone in this class has shared joys and sorrows for many years, just like a family, especially my manager, who lives and dies with me, as early as
Like flesh and blood brothers, it is really difficult for Yuluo to part ways like this. Sir, maybe you can allow Yuluo to work for half a day and ask Yuluo to discuss it with everyone first?"
After hearing this, Guo Yixuan paid more attention to Liu Yujue. It was such a rare opportunity that he was still thinking about other people. How affectionate and righteous this was. Only by keeping such people by his side can he be valuable in cultivating them. So, Guo Yixuan said with emotion: "Then
OK, I will come to hear your news again at this time tomorrow, and you can discuss it with the rest of the class."
"Thank you sir"
Guo Yixuan stood up and said goodbye. Liu Yujue sent him away respectfully. When he came back, he immediately went to Xia Xun for discussion. When Xia Xun heard this, he said flatly: "Why don't you go? Even if you can learn more about the camp situation, it will be good tomorrow. You agree."
Let him live in the military camp with him."
