Four hundred and thirtieth chapters Xiangcheng crisis situation
In the Guo Mansion in Xiangcheng, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were frowning and discussing countermeasures.
Recently, the situation in Xiangcheng has taken a sharp turn and the situation has become worse and worse. The two of them have been defending Xiangcheng for more than 20 years, and the situation is the worst this time.
It is late winter now, and according to spies' returns, the Mongolian army is mobilizing more and more frequently. All signs indicate that the Mongolian army will launch another attack after the snow melts, and this attack is extraordinary.
According to the spies' reports, the attack in Kaichun will be led by the prince Kublai Khan himself, with elite soldiers and powerful generals gathering, and at least nearly 200,000 troops will flock to it. The momentum is unprecedented. It seems that Mongolia is determined to win against Xiangcheng this time.
Moreover, the Li family forces bordering Ezhou where Xiangcheng is located in the south have also begun to block the border line recently, preventing rice and grain from being transported into Ezhou. There are even troops mobilized, and it is suspected that they secretly cooperate with the Mongolian army to attack Ezhou.
The situation in the north and south is tense at the same time, how can it not be shocking?
But no matter how Xiangcheng's urgent documents flew to the Zhao Song court like snowflakes, the Zhao Song court still did not send a soldier, nor did it send any food and money. There was only one edict that ordered the soldiers and civilians of Xiangcheng to raise their strength and repel the Mongolian army as before.
Have you left? Xiangcheng has no left!
The battle more than three months ago had already exhausted Xiangcheng's many years of grain storage and silver treasury. Now, relying on the map drawn by his apprentice Chu Loujun last time, I found a batch of gold, silver, jewelry and exquisite weapons from a collapsed underground palace somewhere, and secretly sent it to a big town in Jiangnan for sale. Only then did I barely accumulate some of the money and survive this winter.
Without the support of the court, Xiangcheng will likely face the dilemma of shortage of troops and food.
Fortunately, Guo Jing and Huang Rong had long anticipated that such a situation might occur. They posted heroic posts more than half a year ago, asking heroes from all over the world to gather in Xiangcheng, and have money to contribute money but no money to work together to discuss the plan to fight the enemy and resist insults.
The Heroes Banquet is scheduled for January 15th, and is scheduled to be held for ten consecutive days and ends on January 24th.
The Quanzhen Sect, Duan Clan in southern Yunnan, Lu Guanying, the elders of the Beggars' Sect, and other famous and familiar figures with Guo Jing and his wife arrived in advance. During the hero conference, heroes from all directions were still in a row, and a large number of well-known or unknown masters arrived every day... There were many masters in Xiangyang City, and the gathering of wise men was unprecedented.
Many retired famous knights also came here and brought a lot of donations of property. At the meeting, Guo Jing was elected as the leader of the alliance. The martial arts people who attended the banquet all followed his orders and fought against foreign aggression. For a time, the morale in Xiangcheng was high and the situation improved greatly.
Just as Guo Jing and Huang Rong were relieved for a while, asking her son-in-law Yelu Qi to welcome the heroes and her husband and wife were concentrating on preparing for war, a news came suddenly.
A few days ago, the prince of Ruyang Prince's Mansion, Kukutmur, who has always been known as the "Tiger General on the battlefield", actually arrived in Fancheng opposite the Han River, and also erected two banners with the words "Kukutmur, the prince of Ruyang Prince's Mansion in Dayuan, is here!" "Why do the Han dogs who participated in the bear conference on the opposite side come and take our heads!"
Obviously, Kukutmoor heard the news of the Xiangcheng Heroes Conference. This time he arrived in Fancheng and aimed directly at the Xiangcheng Heroes Conference.
At that time, there were countless martial arts masters gathered in Xiangcheng, so when the two provocative banners on the top of Fancheng were erected, they spread throughout Xiangcheng like a whirlwind in less than half an hour, causing an uproar.
Now that the two countries are fighting, the martial arts people of the two countries challenge each other, it is not a strange thing to fight each other, but it is the first time that the Mongolian side dares to raise a big flag so arrogantly to challenge all the Han masters gathered in Xiangcheng opposite.
The martial arts people in Xiangcheng were not angry when they saw the two arrogant banners. Especially the words "Bear Conference" and "Han Dog" and other insulting words that stimulated the heroes and heroes. They slapped the tables and cursed them one after another. Those who were a little calmer immediately went to Guo's house to ask for a fight and demanded to fight on behalf of Xiangcheng.
The young masters were even more excited, Gao Gemen said: "It's unreasonable. The Mongolian Tartars are no one in the Han martial arts world! Let's cross the river and cross Fancheng and take back the dog head of Wang Baobao! Let the Mongolian Tartars see how powerful our Han martial arts people are!"
Angry condemnation resounded throughout the city. Without waiting for Guo Jing to speak, many young masters spontaneously organized themselves and crossed the river in groups to Fancheng to fight.
Wang Baobao is the Chinese name of Kukutmuer. People in the martial arts world call Kukutmuer this name in response to the name of "Han Dog" - didn't you call us Han people to be Han Dogs? Then why do you want to use a Chinese name?
In fact, it is rare for Mongolian senior officials to take Han names. This was forcibly promoted by Ruyang Princess Minmintemur, so she herself named the Han name "Zhao Min". She believes that Mongolia has seized nearly one-third of the Han people. In order to better rule the Han people and reduce resistance, it is necessary for the leader to take a Han name to show respect and cultural integration.
As her elder brother, Kukutmuer was forced to take the name "Wang Baobao", but he rarely used it. Like most Mongolian nobles, he did not recognize his sister's policy strategy. They still despise the Han people in their bones and regarded them as the lowest target of exploitation.
As for the Han people's resistance? Then kill them. Anyway, there are many Han people, and they can't be killed.
Besides, the young masters from Xiangcheng crossed the river and rushed to Fancheng. Kukutmur ordered the lifting of the dock blockade, opened the city gate, and welcomed the more than 100 young masters into the big square in the city, and sent more than 100 masters from their own side to fight with them one-on-one.
In this case, the young masters on Xiangcheng were defeated and either died or were seriously injured. Kukutmur transported all the dead and injured back to Xiangcheng by boat. Everyone also had a note on their body, and wrote: "The Han dog boasted and sold himself, but that's all!"
The news of "More than a hundred young heroes sprinkled blood in Fancheng, and the Mongolian Tatars left their words to humiliate and arrogant!" In a very short time, it spread to all the people in the martial arts world who were paying attention to this incident, causing uproar among the military and civilians in the city and martial arts people.
No one expected that these more than a hundred rising stars who are quite famous in the world, all young masters were defeated, at the least they were seriously injured and disabled, and at the worst they were directly killed!
Moreover, according to the survivors, they were all defeated one-on-one. The other party did not win many, nor did they use any despicable means. It can be seen that Mongolia was prepared this time and also gathered a large number of masters.
But the arrogance of the Mongolian side and the act of tying insulting notes on the casualties completely aroused the anger of the martial arts people in Xiangcheng.
Dozens of well-known masters crossed the river and challenged again, regardless of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's dissuasion. All of these people were top masters who had been famous for many years. There were heads of small sects, elders of the gang conference, lone heroes who had been hidden for a long time, and even famous thieves. These people either vented their hatred for the country, vented their anger for compatriots, or made a name for themselves. They all rushed to Fancheng without hesitation to respond to the arrogant challenge of the Mongolian Tartars.
But in the afternoon of that day, all these Xiangcheng masters were sent back, and everyone was either dead or seriously injured!
The bloody note of "Han dogs boast about themselves, but this is the case!" was tied to them very dazzlingly. The survivors were full of humiliation and unwillingness. Some were so angry that they bleed blood, and some were even unwilling to be humiliated. They bit their fingers and wrote to "aggravate us" and then hit the wall and died.
Even the thief "King of Kanto Eagle" who was once rampant in Kanto and unrivaled, Tu Feiying was also so serious that he was so angry that he was sent back that night. Before his death, the seven-foot man's eyes were crying, and he kept repeating, "You can't lose, you can't lose to the Tartars!"
It caused many masters who heard the news to cry, sad and angry.
No matter whether these famous masters were right or evil during their lifetime, they were worthy of the word "hero" in the face of national justice!
That night, ten masters with higher and stronger martial arts skills quietly crossed the river, attacked Fancheng at night, and vowed to kill Wang Baobao's head.
Unfortunately, the next day, even these masters who were dominant on one side were sent back, with eight deaths and two serious injuries!
The city was filled with grief and anger, with white banners everywhere, incense and crying everywhere.
However, thanks to the sacrifices of these well-informed and well-known masters, the list of top Mongolian masters in Fancheng has been revealed.
Mongol Guardian Master, Golden Wheel King!
The leader of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions, Huowu Toutuo!
In the Jile Cave of Miaojiang, the happy female Bodhisattva!
Also, Turkic Martial Master, Bi Xuan!
The first three terrifying names have made everyone gasp. The fourth "Turkish Martial Master" Bi Xuan is a mythical figure. He is known as the "first generation of martial arts master" together with the Taoist sanren Ning Daoqi and the Goguryeo martial arts master "Yijian Master" Fu Cailin.
If the Huashan Sword Contest achieved the reputation of the "Five Great Masters of the Central Plains", the "Round Table Night Banquet Grand Master Battle" held in the north more than 30 years ago laid the foundation for the name of Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin's "Master of Martial Arts".
There is a saying in the world that "the great master of martial arts" is that the three masters fight together, which shows the influence of this battle in the world.
It was also from that battle that the world fell into chaos, and all martial arts schools shone brightly, with a hundred flowers blooming, and "masters of martial arts" emerged one after another, with stars shining-
"Sword God" Dugu Qiubai, and "Dugu Nine Swords" represents the peak of the Central Plains swordsmanship;
"Sanren" Ning Daoshou uses "Sanshou Bapu" to represent the peak of Taoist Sanshou martial arts in the Central Plains;
Zhang Sanfeng, the founding master of Wudang, became the recognized Taoist first person with a century of cultivation;
"Tian Dao" Song Que has dominated the throne of "the No. 1 Knife in the World" with "Tianwen Nine Knife".
"Little Li's Flying Knife" Li Xunhuan, who is known as the "No. 1 hidden weapon master in the world" for his flying knife skills, is known as the "No. 1 hidden weapon master in the world" with his unique skills of flying knife.
The "Yi Jian Master" Fu Cailin's "Yi Jian Technique" pioneered the way of Yi Jian and was famous for his chess and chess.
...
The "Martial Master" Bi Xuan's "Moon Wolf Spear" is known as the "No. 1 shot in the world", and he has not lost both in the battlefield and the world competition.
Although I had heard that the Liao Kingdom had long been called a son-in-law to Mongolia, even the dignified martial master Bi Xuan was invited by Wang Baobao to Fancheng to take the formation. How could everyone not be shocked?
Only then did everyone realize that Wang Bao was sure to come prepared. Before Guo Jing and Huang Rong repeatedly dissuaded everyone, it was not because they were afraid of the brothers and sisters of the Ruyang Palace, which made them extremely cautious in making decisions and then move.
When news spread that more than a dozen masters died and that four martial arts masters in the Mongolian side of Fancheng spread, the whole city was shocked.
The ship heading to Fancheng disappeared immediately, and no one crossed the river to challenge him. The martial arts masters who had been yelling angrily began to remain silent. The heroes and heroes seemed to be deflated, and even the young and energetic young talents who were ignorant of the sky and the earth were ordered by their elders to not leave Xiangcheng.
Although there are many people in Xiangcheng still cursed the masters of the Mongolian side, they are obviously not confident.
Although no one publicly admitted it, it is an indisputable fact that Xiangcheng's hero conference has become weak and everyone is depressed. Even the arena competitions that make young people famous are becoming less and less attention and atmosphere.
The two flags on Fancheng and the four terrifying martial arts masters became shadows and big stones that weighed on everyone's hearts.
In particular, Wang Baobao from Fancheng sent people to send letters of war for two consecutive days, inviting the "Xiangcheng Hero" Guo Jing to Fancheng to compete with his masters.
But Huang Rong knew that the safety of Xiangcheng was actually due to Guo Jing alone, so how could he let him fight? What's more, he would definitely lose if he fought against four.
Huang Rong refused to fight, so the Mongolian side became more and more arrogant and more arrogant, and even sent women's clothes as an insult.
The entire Xiangcheng was filled with a grief but helpless atmosphere, and even the soldiers and civilians of Xiangcheng lost their previous determination to move forward and look at death.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong were worried about this. It was difficult for the Heroes Conference to gather a large number of heroes and people of kindness. However, the limelight of the Heroes Conference is completely suppressed by the Mongolian side. The morale of their own masters is low, which is really difficult to be unfavorable to the subsequent defensive deployment. However, the two of them are helpless about it.
Huang Rong sighed, "Brother Jing, Master Yideng is here now. If the old naughty boy and my father can come, plus you, how likely do you have to win?"
Guo Jing was silent for a moment before shook his head and said, "Although Master Yideng's cultivation is high, he is a person outside the ground, and his killing aura is weak, so it is not suitable to fight. His righteous brother Zhou Botong and his father-in-law are over 80 years old, so it is really difficult to fight with each other. Therefore, I am the only one who can fight on our side."
Huang Rong said distressedly: "It would be great if Jun'er was there. But I heard that he was still overseas and I don't know when he would come back. If he was there, he should be able to fight side by side with you."
Guo Jing said solemnly: "Rong'er, don't mention this matter again. Jun'er is now the leader of the Young Marshal's Army. The safety of the Young Marshal's Army is also the hope of our Han people to resist foreign races in the future. Don't say that he is not here, even if he is here, I will never agree to him take the risk of fighting for Xiangcheng!"
Huang Rong knew her husband was very good, so she had to shake her head helplessly.
The two of them discussed for a long time, but although there were many masters on their side, there was no other martial arts masters with strength comparable to Guo Jing except Master Yideng, which was unable to resolve the current dilemma.
The only way to hold high the battle cards and wait until the Mongolian army attacked and serve the country with their whole family, the two even thought about whether to persuade the heroes who came to participate in the heroes' conference to leave Xiangcheng first, or return to the mountain gate, or go to join the Liangdu Young Marshal's Army to preserve the national vitality and expel the Tatars in the future.
At this time, the butler knocked on the door and sent a message.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong took it and saw that Master Xinhu, the abbot of Shaolin in the north and south, and Master Fang Zheng, accompanied by Xinmei, Xuancheng, Fang Sheng and dozens of monks, wanted to visit Guo Jing and his wife, and celebrated the birthday of Miss Guo Er, and prepared several gifts, with extremely polite attitude.
The couple couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were benevolent and righteous, they were really not qualified to let the abbot of the North and South Shaolin Temple, known as the largest sect in the martial arts world, come to visit him in person.
