Huang Rong saw Guo Jing spurting out a mouthful of blood and immediately ran over worriedly.
Guo Jing raised his hand slightly, and after briefly adjusting his breath, his face remained as usual, his energy was restored, and he didn't feel any fatigue at all.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a mouthful of blood. The two people just now are rare masters. In terms of martial arts alone, they may be better than Xidu Ouyang Feng back then."
The young man who could barely deal with Ouyang Feng by fighting with his hands has now grown into a master who can face two Dongxuan realms.
"Brother Jing, there is an ambush here, and there must be an ambush at Qi Gong's place. Let's go and rescue Qi Gong!"
Guo Jing and Huang Rong asked the elders of the Beggar Clan to lead the disciples of the Beggar Clan to withdraw, and happened to meet Yang Qingyuan and Hong Qigong on the way.
"Seventh Duke!"
"Master Yang?!"
Guo Jing and his wife were naturally overjoyed to see that their master was fine. When they saw Yang Qingyuan next to Hong Qigong, they were also slightly surprised.
Ever since we parted ways in Fenglingdu that day, the two parties have never seen each other again.
Although Guo Jing is a guest of Dali Temple, he is not a permanent member of Dali Temple. He only needs to help Dali Temple when it needs it.
In the past four years, Guo Jing helped Dali Temple and captured thirteen bandits with high martial arts skills in six gates. It can be considered that he did not use Dali Temple's salary in vain.
"I haven't seen you for four years. I didn't expect Master Yang's martial arts to have advanced so much. It really makes Guo Mou feel ashamed!"
Like Hong Qigong, Guo Jing and his wife, when they first met Yang Qingyuan, he was just a leader in the Yuanhua Realm. In four years, Yang Qingyuan has surpassed their master and apprentice and became the top master in the Dongxuan Realm.
"Three of them understood the righteousness well and stepped forward when the country was in crisis. Yang thanked these three people here on behalf of the people of the three states and the imperial court!"
Hong Qigong's generous gesture made Guo Jing dare not say anything, but Huang Rong smiled brightly.
Three people with three different attitudes.
"Brother Jing and I were originally guest ministers of Dali Temple and members of the imperial court. Even if it is not for chivalry, it is our duty to help Da Zhou!"
Huang Rong's words are already asking for rewards for Guo Jing's contribution.
When China is being robbed, there will always be heroic heroes who step forward and live with the country.
When the imperial court is in crisis and has too much time to take care of itself, it may not necessarily reward these people. Even if it is granted, most of these people will not accept it.
Therefore, what Guo Jing did today may not be rewarded by the court.
But Huang Rong's opening was different.
Guo Jing's identity is not only a righteous man in the world, but also a guest of Dali Temple and a member of the imperial court.
Compared with the ambiguous relationship between the imperial court and Jianghu, the imperial court must have clear rewards and punishments for its own people.
Guo Jing had been on the battlefield in Jizhou for half a month, killing seven captains of the Hou Jin Dynasty, routing and annihilating a small group of fifteen Hou Jin cavalrymen, and burning grain, grass and baggage everywhere.
This credit is not small!
Although Guo Jing himself didn't care, as Guo Jing's wife, how could Huang Rong not make plans for her husband?
Emperor Zhou was not Lizong of the Song Dynasty, and the Gonggun princes in the court were not Jia Sidao.
With Guo Jing's achievements, it was not a problem to be promoted or awarded a title.
Yang Qingyuan has also been in the officialdom for many years. He is not very young, but he can be said to be an old fox. He understood the meaning of Huang Rong's words as soon as he heard it.
"Mrs. Guo's words are wrong! Although Brother Guo is a guest of the imperial court, he is a sage and has clear rewards and punishments. Senior Hong, Brother Guo, I must give a personal account of Mrs. Guo's determination to serve the country and her military exploits. Are you willing? Whether you are willing to accept it or not is a matter for three people, but the imperial court cannot refuse to reward it, otherwise it will not be able to convince the people of the world!"
Huang Rong said that it is easy to talk to smart people, and everything is clear.
"Sir Yang was strategizing in the northern border, raiding thousands of miles and defeating Qian's army. Why not let Mr. Yang lead the martial arts heroes in the future? He will definitely inflict heavy losses on Jiannu."
The Battle of the Northern Territory made Yang Qingyuan once again famous in the world. Although people in the world looked down on those who had ups and downs in officialdom, they always admired loyal ministers and good generals.
After Yue Wumu's death, countless people with lofty ideals in the world fought to the death to protect Yue Wumu's descendants from Jiangnan.
Although chivalry violates the law by using force, it is necessary for chivalry to exist under certain circumstances.
Compared with Yang Qingyuan's achievements in martial arts, Guo Jing admired Yang Qingyuan more for his great defeat of Yuan, Meng and Daqian in the north.
He once served as the Grand Marshal of Yuanmeng Daqian's expedition to the west, so he naturally knew the strength of Yuanmeng Daqian.
Although the civil strife in Yuan and Mongol-Daqian continued in these years, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses also declined, there were cavalry troops roaming the grasslands, and Yang Qingyuan could defeat the weak and the strong, and his military talent was self-evident.
I thought Yang Qingyuan would agree, but Yang Qingyuan waved his hand.
"I have something more urgent, so I can only leave it to Brother Guo! But..."
"But what?!" Guo Jing was not Huang Rong. Seeing Yang Qingyuan mid-sentence, he immediately asked.
"However, Brother Guo is here to lead the Jianghu people to disrupt the enemy's formation. Although it is very effective, it is not the best choice."
"What about Master Yi Yang's opinion?!"
"I dare to ask Brother Guo and Gang Leader Hong, how many disciples of the Beggar Clan are in Jizhou?!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Qigong replied, "There are about three thousand disciples in Jizhou now, and there are also disciples from beggar gangs from all over the country coming in a steady stream."
"How are these disciples' martial arts?!"
Hong Qigong looked confused after hearing this question. There were many people in the Beggar Clan, but they lacked experts. Apart from Hong Qigong, there was only his junior brother, Jiubao Elder Ke Jianglong, who was quite famous in the martial arts world. The remaining Even those in the Yuan Hua realm are pitifully small.
"Although my disciples of the Beggar Clan are not strong in martial arts, they are all heroes who are not afraid of death!"
Yang Qingyuan smiled and said, "Clan leader Hong has misunderstood. Of course I know that all the heroes of the Beggar Clan are passionate, but right now there is a place that is more suitable for them to play their role."
"Oh?! Where?"
"Jinyang City!"
As soon as Yang Qingyuan said this, a hint of understanding flashed in Guo Jing's eyes. Although he was not good at quick wits, he was indeed extraordinary in military strategy.
Most of the disciples of the Beggar Clan are warriors in the Qi training realm. Such strength does not give them much advantage when fighting against Houjin warriors.
However, almost all disciples of the Beggar Clan have learned the Dog Fighting Formation, and with the formation skills, even if they cannot fight alone on the frontal battlefield, they can still play a huge role in defending the city with a little practice.
If three thousand disciples of the Beggar Clan can go to Jinyang City, it will be equivalent to adding three thousand elite soldiers to defend the city for Yanyi.
"What I mean is that Gang Leader Hong can continue to harass Jiannu in Bingzhou and Jizhou with his masters in the martial arts world, and these three thousand disciples can be led by Brother Guo to Jinyang City. Gang Leader Hong also knows that Brother Guo's military skills are extraordinary, so he went there
Jinyang can also lend a helping hand to the great scholar."
After Hong Qigong listened, he thought about it carefully and realized that what Yang Qingyuan said made sense.
In these days, they could only ambush some small groups of cavalry, and the casualties among the ordinary Beggar Clan disciples were not small. The biggest result was that they, masters of Yuanhua and above, were able to attack the baggage.
In many cases, those who are not strong in martial arts and light kung fu will become a burden to them.
If Yang Qingyuan's arrangements are followed, the role of the people in the martial arts world can be maximized.
"Master Yang is indeed the person who is strategizing in the north. This arrangement couldn't be more appropriate!"
Huang Rong on the side also praised him.
With this matter settled, Guo Jing and his wife will lead ordinary Beggar Clan disciples and warriors from Qi Refining Realm and Tongmai Realm to Jinyang to assist in the battle. Although they are not very useful in frontal field battles, their role in defending the city is stronger than ordinary elite soldiers.
too much.
Hong Qigong, on the other hand, led the remaining Yuanhua Realm masters to continue to implement the strategy of harassment, ambush small groups of cavalry, and conduct raids on the baggage and food supplies.
Without the constraints of the Qi Training Realm and the Pulse Opening Realm, these people can act more cleanly and neatly.
Yang Qingyuan took out a homemade pencil from his arms, wrote a letter, and then took off the jade pendant given by Emperor Zhou and handed it to Guo Jing together with the famous post.
"Brother Guo! It's war time now. If you hand these all over to the great general of the auxiliary country, Grand Bachelor Yu, he will naturally believe you!"
In order to prove Guo Jing's identity, Yang Qingyuan even lent out the jade pendant given by the emperor. If the old men from the Ministry of Rites found out, it would probably be another meal.
"Master Yang..."
Just as Guo Jing was about to speak, he was interrupted by Yang Qingyuan, "Brother Guo, if you think about it carefully, I am Guo'er's master and my equal to you. It seems a bit strange for you to keep calling me 'Mr. Yang'. Why don't you just call me 'Mr. Yang'?"
Call me Qingyuan!"
Guo Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "Qingyuan, please don't worry, I will give you your fullest help when I go!"
Guo Jing's role on the frontal battlefield is not comparable to that of ordinary Dongxuan realms. His military skills and strategies are not inferior to those of famous generals in the world. Yang Qingyuan is equivalent to giving Yu Yanyi an arm.
After confirming the matter, Yang Qingyuan no longer delayed, clasped his fists in front of the three people and saluted, then rode a yellow horse and headed north.
Yang Qingyuan sat on the horse and let Huang ride on his own.
When he just fought against the Great Joyous Female Bodhisattva, he used the Immortal Sword. Although it was very cool to kill him instantly with one move, it also took a lot of energy from Yang Qingyuan and he needed to take a nap.
-------------------
In Shaolin Temple.
Emptiness is questioning his senior brother.
"Brother Abbot, now that the slaves are moving south, our Buddhist sect also has the responsibility of guarding the land and protecting people. Why do we recall the disciples from the temple?!"
Feeling bright and flying through the sky, Xuan Yuan and Xu Hui.
When the "Du" generation retired, the "Kong" generation became the person in charge.
Kongxing is one of the four eminent monks of the Shaolin School who are known for their knowledge and wisdom. He is proficient in the "Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand". He spends most of his time studying martial arts in the temple and rarely goes down the mountain.
Kongxing was an upright and heroic man, with strong martial arts skills. His accomplishments in the Dragon Claw Hand were the most profound among his fellow disciples, even Master Kongjian, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, was not as good as him.
But because he concentrated on martial arts and Buddhism, he knew nothing about secular affairs.
When Kongwen heard Kongxing's question, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Amitabha!"
If Kong Wen today were just a Buddhist monk, he would definitely be the Vajra Angry Eyes at this moment, going down the mountain to protect living beings, but he is still the abbot of Shaolin and the head of the ancestral court of the Buddhist Zen sect.
Although his martial arts is only at the Yuan Hua realm, his status is more important than Cihang Jingzhai Fan Qinghui and Jing Nian Zen.
Almost no one in the Buddhist sect can rival Kong Wen in terms of status, except for the abbot of the White Horse Temple in the divine capital.
During the reign of Emperor Ming of the Later Han Dynasty, White Horse came from the Western Regions carrying sutras and first stopped at Honglu Temple, so it took the name of the temple and built it as White Horse Temple, which was the beginning of the Monk Temple.
Baima Temple has an extraordinary status and is revered as the "Ancestral Court of Zhongzhou" and "Shiyuan". It is the first ancient temple in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But the people in White Horse Temple have always ignored worldly affairs and devoted themselves to practicing Buddhism.
The banner of Buddhism can only be carried by Shaolin, the ancestral home of Zen.
Buddhism can ignore worldly affairs, but Buddhism cannot!
The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has lasted through the ages.
Now that the Taoist sect has gained the trust of the emperor and the public, it has completely suppressed the Buddhist sect. As one of the leaders of the Buddhist sect, Kong Wen naturally takes charge of the Buddhist sect's planning.
But the road to the imperial court has been blocked by the Daomen. I don't know why, but Emperor Zhou believed so deeply in the Zhenwu lineage of the Daomen. The Taizu's spiritual throne was even set up on Wudang Mountain.
This left Buddhism with no chance at all, so it began to turn its attention to King Zhao.
King Yingguo of Zhao, who resembles Taizu closely, has been a soldier for most of his life. He is good at conquering and fighting. He dominates the city of Yan. He has strong generals like clouds and strong soldiers like rain.
Compared to Jin Shang, who was tolerant and benevolent, King Zhao had more of the domineering spirit of Taizu.
I am the brother of King Zhao. When I am here, King Zhao will naturally not do anything rebellious. But once Emperor Zhou visits the sky, the new emperor will definitely not be able to subdue King Zhao.
With King Zhao's strength and ability, he has a great possibility of becoming a great treasure. If the Buddhist sect succeeds in this bet, he can immediately counterattack the Taoist sect.
"Recalling my disciples is not my intention, but the invitation of King Zhao, so I must give this order no matter what."
However, Kong Wen did not issue a death order, but merely sent a symbolic message to his disciples. Any disciples who wanted to stay to protect lives and kill the enemy could also stay. The main reason was to provide an explanation to King Zhao.
Kongxing shook his head when he heard the words, but didn't say anything more!
He knew that his senior brother was the abbot of a temple and the head of the ancestral family of the Zen sect. He was not comparable to him in all aspects of his concerns.
"Amitabha!"
After Kongyata became a disciple of Buddhism, he continued to study Buddhism and study martial arts, leaving only Kongwen alone.
--------------------------
Outside Jinyang City, it was already the scene at the beginning of the war.
After careful planning by Yu Yanyi, the western defense line of Bingzhou with Jinyang as the core has been basically completed.
Jingzhou prepared the Cao army, and Chuzhou prepared the barbarian army and arrived at Bingzhou as scheduled.
In addition to the 20,000 Shenwu Army, 60,000 Yulin Army, and the defeated Longwu Army, the number of troops under Yu Yanyi's command now reached 180,000.
But among them, the only ones with real combat power were the 20,000 Shenwu Army mobilized from Yueyang Land.
The Yulin Army and the Longwu Army were still trying to recover from their previous defeat, and were afraid of the Houjin Iron Cavalry. However, the Jingzhou Bei Cao Army and the Chuzhou Bei Barbarian Army were both second-line reserves, and their combat effectiveness was really low.
, it's okay to defend with your back to the city, but if you fight in the field with Hou Jin's elite soldiers, you probably won't be able to last long.
Even the 20,000 Shenwu Army is in poor condition. Traveling thousands of miles has made many soldiers of the Shenwu Army unaccustomed to the environment.
Yu Yanyi now has a mess on his hands.
But he knew that he could not retreat. As long as he was still in Jinyang, Houjin would have to deal with him first. Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qizhou, and Qingzhou would not be in great danger for the time being.
Hou Jin was also aware of this, and the troops of the brigade had begun to gather towards the west of Bingzhou.
The two sides will fight a decisive battle under Jinyang City.
The winner will have the three northern states and the subsequent strategic initiative!
