Chapter 182: Diverting trouble to the north(1/2)
"What? You don't believe me?"
"The reason why Guo'er is attracted by this Taoist is probably because I used my true energy to warm and nourish Guo'er's meridians before, so that the 'innate body' as he said appeared."
"Fortunately, he was not taken away by this Taoist. Otherwise, not only would Guo'er's talent be wasted, but he would also suffer from displacement."
"Leave Guo'er to me. I have prepared the best skills for him. His future achievements will surely be unparalleled in the world."
Listening to Guo Mo's words, Wan Yankang felt inexplicably sad, but he knew that Guo Mo in front of him was not lying to him.
"Guo'er is suitable to grow up in the Song Dynasty and follow his grandfather and mother."
"You know better than anyone what kind of situation you are in now. Do you think if you let him change your surname to 'Wanyan', will he be grateful to you or hold a grudge against you in the future?"
"If he learns martial arts, what kind of famous teacher can you find for him?"
"If he studies literature, what kind of scholar can you find in the Kingdom of Jin?"
Guo Mo's words went straight into Wan Yankang's heart. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.
"Then, can I come and see him later?"
After a long time, he actually said something like this out of nowhere.
"Haha, don't you think what you are asking is ridiculous? He lives in Niujia Village. Not only is your son there, but also your father and the girls of the Mu family are also there."
"Even if you live there forever, who will stop you from visiting him?"
"I'm just his master, and you will only have one father. If he dares to act like a traitor, I will be the first to clean up the family."
"you--"
Faced with Guo Mo's sudden sarcasm, Wanyankang was unable to argue.
"What about the benefits you just mentioned?"
"Don't worry, I, Guo Mo, will naturally not break my promise and get fat."
"Let me introduce myself first. I am now a member of the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty. You can ask your people to investigate the authenticity. I can provide you with some information now."
"First, Mongolia sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, hoping to achieve a union between Song and Mongolia and share the Jin Kingdom. The specific details have not been finalized yet."
"Second, Mongolia is on the border between Mongolia and Jin. Now those actions are just a cover-up. In fact, his next step is to attack Xixia first, destroy Xixia, and then destroy Goryeo."
"After the constraints on the left and right are removed, it will be a battle to destroy the Jin Kingdom. Some of the border guards of the Jin Kingdom have been secretly bribed by Mongolia. You should report it when you return and let others check it."
"Third, your visit to the Song Dynasty Palace this time is a complete mistake."
"Why?"
After hearing Guo Mo say two things in succession about Mongolia's military planning and development trend, the more Wan Yankang thought about it, the more he felt that these were true and not Guo Mo's nonsense.
But when he heard the third item, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple. I'm not afraid to tell you that the 'Wu Mu's suicide note' you are looking for has actually been in my hand."
"I guess you haven't even figured out what is written in the 'Wu Mu's suicide note', so you are so anxious to get it."
"I have finished learning and am teaching it to my disciples. When my children grow up and want to learn, I will teach them everything I have."
"The 'Wu Mu's Suicide Note', also known as the 'Keys to Breaking Gold', is a set of military books compiled by Yue Wumu."
"To be more precise, he compiled a set of tips for defeating the Jin based on the characteristics of the Jin army and combined with the actual military situation of the Song Dynasty."
"This book can actually only play a role in the Song Dynasty and the war between Song and Jin Dynasties. If you really snatch it away, at most the Song Dynasty will not be able to benefit from it, and that's all."
"If I say this, can you understand why I said your trip was a mistake?"
"Not only did I get nothing, but I also lost the life of a master. Oh, looking at it now, there are two masters, and this masked Taoist. Haha——"
Wanyankang gritted his teeth as he listened, but he didn't know who to vent to.
"Now, can you give me your child?"
Guo Mo stretched out his hand and stared at Wan Yankang closely, as if he was determined to defeat him.
Looking at his sleeping son in his arms, Wan Yankang felt inexplicably reluctant to let go, but in the end he handed Yang Guo over to Guo Mo.
"I wonder if Brother Guo has any other advice?"
Wanyankang actually completely listened to Guo Mo's words.
How could Guo Mo miss such a good opportunity?
"Just talking about the Kingdom of Jin, is it still the largest country in Yunei twenty years ago?"
"In the battle of Yehuling, Wanyan Yongji destroyed the Jin Kingdom's most elite army of more than 400,000 people. Now the Jin Kingdom has become stronger on the outside and stronger on the inside."
"The biggest mistake was to focus the main military attention on the Song Dynasty, while seriously neglecting Mongolia in the north."
"Although Guo Mo is from the Song Dynasty, he also knows that the Song Dynasty is located in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. Defending is not enough, so how can we talk about attacking?"
"Mongolia came to unite with the Song Dynasty. It just wanted the Song Dynasty to contain some of the Jin's troops in the south."
"Then what will Da Song do?"
Hearing this, Wanyankang asked eagerly.
"Obviously, we will definitely agree to the alliance and send troops."
Guo Mo answered easily.
"Why? You clearly know that this is Mongolia's strategy of establishing distant relations and attacking closely. Once the Jin Kingdom is really destroyed, how can the Song Dynasty survive alone?"
After hearing this, Wanyankang felt a little anxious.
"There is no way. First of all, the two countries of Song and Jin were in a state of hostility in the past and are now in a state of hostility. This is not a matter that can be resolved by a person in power with just one word. The grievances have been going on for hundreds of years."
"Secondly, Mongolia has promised benefits to the Song Dynasty. Not to mention that if they conquer the Jin Kingdom in the future and get their homeland back, even now, the other side has promised to provide war horses to the Song Dynasty."
"If you were in power in the Song Dynasty, would you refuse such an attractive offer? The Song Dynasty itself does not raise horses. What an important strategic material this is."
Wanyankang was completely speechless by Guo Mo's half-truth and half-false statement.
"Then after I go back, I will ask my father to go to the palace to meet the saints, focus on keeping an eye on Mongolia in the north, and reduce the number of troops against the Song Dynasty. If possible, we should also appropriately reduce the 'yearly tribute' of the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing what Wanyan Kang said, Guo Mo didn't care anymore.
"What the Kingdom of Jin does is your business. But I told you the news today. You can ask your people to verify it and see which one is false."
"In the Song Dynasty, it is not for me, a small 'official in charge of the imperial city', to make the decision."
"If after verifying this information, you think it is really valuable, you can give me a hundred horses and let me distribute them to my brothers. Thank God."
When acting, you have to do the whole thing and ask for nothing, but it will look too fake.
"Brother Guo, don't worry. If the above news is completely true, I will definitely come in person and give Brother Guo two hundred good horses."
Wan Yankang said it very "sincerely" and couldn't help but hold his hand in his hand.
"Everyone can say nice things. Let's wait until we see the horse to say goodbye."
Guo Mo saw that he had said everything he needed to say, and even said what he shouldn't have said.
Holding the sleeping Yang Guo in his arms, he left the Iron Spear Temple.
When Guo Mo really left, Wan Yankang let out a sigh of relief, but his determination to become stronger became even more urgent!
"After listening for a long time, how credible do you think what this person said is credible?"
Wanyankang asked. The person he was questioning turned out to be the masked Taoist who was rolling on the ground in pain.
"Humph, hahaha——"
"Even if what he just said is true, do you dare to believe it? It's just for the benefit of the Song Dynasty to move the trouble northward."
"Da Song, Da Jin, haha, they are just two weak chickens. If our mortal enemies hadn't supported Mongolia, why would we have to choose between you two?"
"Wan Yankang, for today's revenge, I will let all the members of Prince Zhao's family pay compensation with their lives, ah——"
Before the masked Taoist finished speaking, Wan Yankang struck him on the head with another "Nine Yin White Bone Claw".
He used his hands hard to grasp the head, and inserted his thumb deeply from the "Baihui" point.
"You...you can't be nice..."
"Don't you want to die a good death? Even if your people find your body, will you think that I killed you? Hahaha - eh?"
Wanyankang suddenly used his right hand to grab a "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" on his left arm, then moved his meridians in reverse direction, shocking himself to death.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and he lay sideways on the ground.
He believed that it was time for Master Lingzhi and "Thousand-Handed Man-Slaughter" Peng Lianhu to come back.
Guo Mo rode his horse, holding little Yang Guo in his arms, and walked westward along the road.
It was already starting to get light, and after walking for about five miles, the terrain became gradually higher and more rugged.
You can see a dark village on the left in front of you. This village is quite large.
It seems that there were originally several scattered villages, but as the population grew, they slowly expanded and formed one.
Looking around, there is a place in the southeast corner, which is obviously much larger and higher than elsewhere. It is built according to the entire low mountain highland.
The four characters "Yuanyang Villa" are clearly engraved on a welcoming stone erected next to it.
