Of course, Li Xuanying doesn't care much about this.

Li Yinglin's classic battle cases are the main topic that his family brags about all year round. As soon as Guo Kang came here, he started listening to them every day.

He still remembers that as soon as he was brought home by his adoptive father, he met Li Xuanying's father Li Huawen, who took his wife and children to visit Guo's house. When the two were drinking, his adoptive mother took Guo Kang out, and Li Huawen was still a little nervous.

Surprised, I asked who this was.

The adoptive mother said that the child was called Guo Kang and that the couple had picked him up during the siege of Dadu. At that time, the Ottomans took advantage of the weakness of the Khanate after the "Antar War" and launched a large army to besiege the city. Fortunately, everyone worked together and persisted until the end of the city.

Uncle Mu'er's army arrived and saved the city from the Tartars.

They had a daughter before, but she didn't have a scientific name yet and only had a nickname of "Little Flower". In order to commemorate this battle, they called her "Guo Ponu".

As for the adopted boy, because the city is called "Constantinople", and also in commemoration, let's name him Guo Kang.

This is how the siblings got their names.

However, Li Huawen raised objections to this. He believed that the name Ponu was too murderous and not suitable for girls. And having said that, it was Emperor Timur's uncle who really defeated the Ottoman Tatars. Even if it is commemorated, it should be commemorated.

I guess. So, it’s only right to call this girl “Guo Tie”.

As for Guo Kang, it is not accurate. The imperial dynasty has already decided on the official name, and this place is now called "Dadu". Therefore, he should also be called "Guo Da".

The adoptive father really thought about it for a while, but the adoptive mother couldn't accept it at all, so the suggestion was rejected.

But later, Guo Kang discovered that this name was given to his adoptive father.

Although he looks like an honest man now, when his adoptive father was young, he was actually quite popular with ladies and ladies, not only in Rome. It is said that the daughter of Basil III Khan was interested in him and wanted to recruit her.

He also regarded him as "Guledan". Even when he visited, there was a princess from the Ottoman side who had a secret love for him.

Of course, these were all said by the big-mouthed Li Huawen and others later, and the adoptive father himself tried to avoid them every time. The adoptive mother did not admit these things at all. Guo Kangwen was beaten again and again, and he did not dare to directly confirm with the person involved again...

In short, when his adoptive father was young, he was a standard rich man, and he liked to be a knight-errant, so there should be no suspense.

Later, when they were defending the city, the Ottomans set up artillery outside the city in an attempt to blow down the city wall. The foster father led dozens of soldiers out of the city to attack and destroyed the cannon.

This story is indeed very legendary, and through the mouths of the Greeks, it became more and more outrageous.

The current popular theory is that the adoptive father jumped into the formation, kicked down the cannon, and knocked down Bayezid who came to the rescue with a palm, and his turban was ripped off by him. In short, he was a Hercules reincarnation level

of great heroes.

Several friends called him "Guo Daxia", but the Greeks found it difficult to pronounce him, so they called him "Guo Dawu". This name became popular.

At that time, after meeting several times, Li Huawen took advantage of his family's tradition and told the children about his father Li Yinglin's achievements every day and asked everyone what they thought.

Li Xuanying and others thought the story was legendary, while Guo Kang analyzed it.

He said that on the surface, it was eight thousand people fighting one hundred thousand people, but in fact, the enemy's effective strength was not that many.

The rebel general Boyan could only control eight to twelve thousand elite men, and he never invested them all at once, because his "mastery" was relative.

Moreover, not to mention the death of Grand Master Hua, not everyone in the Beiya Army wanted to rebel. The most elite new army did not participate, and many of the officers and soldiers of other guards were killed or escaped. The remaining

It is very doubtful how much combat power these people can exert. The performance of the Kipchak Left Guard and the Burial Left Guard were completely out of line with their usual abilities, which may be related to this.

The Poles also have thousands of elites, but they obviously don't want to go first themselves. They want to see Boyan and the Purple Horde Army consume each other, and then find opportunities to pick peaches.

As for the other ones, they can almost be ignored. The Lithuanian mercenaries have been guarding their homes and have not gone to the battlefield. As for the nomadic cavalry, they can fight with the wind, but it is really too much to expect them to bite the elite of Nanya.

And the Russians in the army... probably can't fight with the wind. Neither Boyan nor the Poles have considered moving them to the front line.

Therefore, after sorting out the story just now, we can calculate that in the half hour that really determines victory or defeat, the two sides were nominally eight thousand against one hundred thousand, but in fact it was only five thousand against eight thousand. Moreover, because the terrain was chosen very

It's a coincidence, so it still has an advantage in terms of strength.

Boyan later invested more troops, increasing the number to about 12,000 to 5,000. However, due to command problems, these newly added soldiers did not demonstrate their combat effectiveness at all, and even had side effects.

Therefore, the number of troops and the number of combatants should not be directly compared like this. It can be used for propaganda, but as a general, you must be mentally aware. General Li should have taken advantage of this at the time and used the terrain to limit the opponent's advantage.

Moreover, as long as the enemy has fought a war, they all know the benefits of cooperation, but whether they can cooperate or not does not depend on their awareness. Boyan and the Poles may know the military, but not the national affairs. They only discover the problem before the battle. They will lose.

It's not unfair either.

After finishing speaking, Li Huawen stared at him for a moment, then turned to ask his adoptive father if he could give him this child as his godson. He would give him Li Xuanying in exchange.

He said with emotion that it was a pity that his father passed away so early. Otherwise, he would have been very interested in chatting with the child and teaching him personally.

From then on, Guo Kang became "someone else's son." Li Xuanying was basically taught a lesson by his father in these years.

However, Guo Kang himself did not get much benefit. His adoptive father pushed him to exercise every day, while his adoptive mother forced him to study all day long. What was even more troublesome was that his cheap sister seemed to have a grudge against him.

Li Xuanying is a person with a big heart and has always had a good relationship with him. Every time he was scolded by his father because of Guo Kang, he didn't take it seriously. However, Guo Ponu wanted to make trouble for Guo Kang again and again, because he thought he was too

Playing tricks.

Guo Kang didn't think much about it at the time. He just wanted to show his worth and save himself from throwing it away. When faced with this situation, he didn't know what to do.

This issue obviously cannot be discussed with people like Li Xuanying and Tuhuan. The best advice these two guys can give is to let him fight Guo Ponu and just defeat her.

But Shi Ke, the eldest brother among the people, was the most mature. He analyzed the problem for a while and discovered the problem.

Guo Ponu, Tuhuan's sister Hulu Buhua, his own cousin Shi Huizhen, Yeluxin's granddaughter Baoyin and others often mingled together and went in and out of the palace. I felt something was wrong before, but when I thought about it carefully, what was going on behind these people's backs?

, should be today's Kotunna. A group of people are sneaking around all day long, and they don't know what they are doing, but with the temperament of a Greek noblewoman, it is definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, there is only one truth - Guo Ponu has become Hellenized!

However, Brother Shi has no reliable solution. After thinking about it, he feels that there is still a problem with education. The intellectual level of the gentlemen here is generally not good, and it is incomparable with that of the Central Plains. As a result, everyone is led astray by the Greeks.

The only solution now is to find a good master and give them a good education.

Shi Ke's younger brother, Shi Dan, recently went on a mission with his father, so Shi Ke asked him to stay here. If he meets a knowledgeable scholar, he will hire him with a high salary. There is no good news yet, but as long as Shi Dan finds the person, everything will be fine.

It will definitely get better.
