Guo Mo and Huang Rong, after leaving "Fenglingdu", headed north.

This is the territory of the Jin people, to be precise, it is Hebei Road where Wanyankang was stationed.

Guo Mo did not go to see Wanyan Kang. Since the last meeting, he knew that the young prince of the Jin Kingdom was no longer of the same mind as the Great Jin Kingdom.

Of course, Wan Yankang, who grew up in the Zhao Palace of the Jin Kingdom, would not easily fall to the Song Dynasty.

With 30,000 "loyal and brave troops" in hand, it seems that he wants to do something for himself during this great battle.

Guo Mo had no intention of stopping him. The forces north of the Yellow River were inherently complex and were not under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty for the time being. The conflict of interests was not very big.

Even if Guo Mo wants to intervene, he has more than enough intention but not enough power.

The two of them walked for more than half a month, but still had no clue, as if the other party had disappeared out of thin air.

At one point, Guo Mo thought that it was a deliberate prank by the other party, or that his purpose was to transfer Huang Rong away from "Peach Blossom Island".

Unfortunately, according to the latest news obtained from the "Imperial City Division", "Peach Blossom Island" has been in peace recently.

Guo Mo attaches great importance to the transmission of intelligence, so he invests huge manpower and material resources at all costs. Whether it is the Beggar Gang or the "Imperial City Division", the total number of people north of the Yellow River has exceeded 5,000.

Scattered throughout the Jin Kingdom, Xixia, and Mongolia, try to ensure that each state capital has a certain intelligence force.

Lu Chengfeng, who has always been prudent and bold, was singled out by Guo Mo to handle the matter personally, and his original position has been slowly taken over by Lu Guanying.

Although it was still under the "Imperial City Division", Guo Mo still gave the organization controlled by Lu Chengfeng a name, "Tingfeng".

It has its own exclusive team, and there is no upper limit on the number of people. Everything depends on actual needs.

The intelligence from the various armies and government offices at all levels is communicated to the superiors, and the information is communicated to the Beggar Clan's local branches.

Guo Mo's plan is that the current focus of "Tingfeng" is on external forces, focusing on the acquisition and transmission of enemy military and political information, and also cooperating with the military to perform special tasks at special moments.

In the future, it may be transferred internally, and Guo Mo even thinks about establishing a civilian logistics system within his own sphere of influence in the future.

You have to eat the food one bite at a time and do the things one by one.

Everything is still in its infancy now. He is very satisfied to receive the information about "Peach Blossom Island" in Taiyuan, even though the time was seven or eight days ago.

The person in charge of "Tingfeng" in Taiyuan is an acquaintance of Guo Mo's, Lu Wei from "Guiyun Village" in Taihu Lake.

Instead of searching aimlessly like this, it is better to set a goal and then follow the clues when you have some clues.

Therefore, Guo Mo and Huang Rong temporarily lived in Taiyuan City and asked "Tingfeng" to do their best to find out about Ouyang Ke.

After all, the last appearance of "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi was to rescue Ouyang Ke at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Then, if we find Ouyang Ke, we may be able to find Huang Yaoshi's whereabouts.

However, the search lasted for more than a month, and even Ouyang Ke had no news at all.

For this reason, Lu Chengfeng even sent someone to quickly go to the "White Camel Villa" in the Western Regions.

The news we received is that "White Camel Villa" has only been managed by a few servants in recent years. Neither the old owner "West Poison" Ouyang Feng nor the young owner Ouyang Ke have ever returned.

Time has entered the winter month again, most of the northern areas are already covered with snow, and the Mongolian army has also suspended its attacks on Xixia and Jin.

Juyongguan is still holding on, but it has been completely turned into a flesh and blood mill.

In the past year, the total number of casualties among the Jin army and the Mongolian army inside and outside Juyong Pass has exceeded 120,000.

Everyone took advantage of the winter break to quietly lick their wounds.

However, Mu Huali rarely withdrew his troops and even mobilized 40,000 troops from the rear, once again gathering 60,000 troops.

Outside Juyongguan, the state capitals formerly under the jurisdiction of the Jin Kingdom have now become the source of food and grass for the Mongolian army, and there is no need to transport them from the desert.

However, the Mongols were not good at farming, so they had no choice but to retain the original officials of the Jin Kingdom. As long as they were obedient, did not play tricks, and still retained their vested interests and status.

It's just that the masters above have changed, and they have become subordinates of the Mongols.

Muhuali also sent some troops to implement temporary military control of each state capital in units of a thousand troops.

These Mongolians were not good at managing people's livelihood, but they were good at wreaking havoc. For a time, they were everywhere complaining, but they had nowhere to redress their grievances.

While Guo Mo was waiting for news from Ouyang Ke in Taiyuan, a piece of intelligence came from the north, which completely shocked Guo Mo.

"Juyong Pass was lost——"

The Mongolian army unexpectedly attacked Juyongguan on a snowy night despite the heavy snowfall. They did not hesitate to lose tens of thousands of soldiers again, and countless horses froze to death.

But in the end we won Juyongguan.

More than 40,000 Jin soldiers died under the Mongolian cavalry, and even Wanyan Honglie, one of the northern commanders of the Jin Kingdom, was seriously injured.

If it weren't for Liang Ziweng and Peng Lianhu who were guarding him and led hundreds of personal guards to protect him to the death, it is estimated that the ambitious Prince Zhao of the Jin Kingdom for so many years would have been submerged under the iron hoof of the Mongols.

The key figure in the Mongols' conquest of Juyong Pass turned out to be Ouyang Feng, a former guest of the Zhao Palace of the Jin Kingdom, the famous "Western Poison" in the world.

It was he who took action personally, taking advantage of the windy and snowy night, and led a dozen masters to kill the defenders at the city gate from inside the pass, opened the Juyong Pass, and welcomed the Mongolian cavalry into the pass.

The Mongolian army and the Jin army launched a desperate struggle inside and outside the narrow Juyong Pass.

The battle lasted for two full hours.

In the end, the Jin army, which was vastly outnumbered, was still unable to withstand the wolf-like and tiger-like Mongols.

After losing Juyong Pass, they retreated to Changping and started fierce street fighting.

It was during a street fight in Changping that Wanyan Honglie was shot in the left chest by a cold arrow. The Jin soldiers once again lost Changping and retreated to Zhongdu City overnight.

The Mongols completely occupied Changping. In order to vent his anger at being blocked outside Juyong Pass for a year, Mu Huali announced that he would "not seal the sword for three days"!

The small town of Changping County instantly turned into a hell on earth.

"Ouyang Feng—Mu Huali—"

When Guo Mo saw the news, he smashed the table in front of him with his palm and gritted his teeth.

He is not a saint, but he cannot allow a wolf-like army to attack unarmed civilians for his own selfish interests.

Even in the Jin Kingdom, the majority of people were Han Chinese.

"Brother Mo, why is Ouyang Feng like this?"

As we all know, Uncle Ouyang and nephew have always been guests of Prince Zhao of the Kingdom of Jin. Why did he suddenly turn to Mongolia?

According to internal intelligence, Guo Mo even knew that the Ming Cult behind "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng now also supports the Jin Kingdom.

It seems that his status as a member of the "Murong Family" is causing trouble.

In the past few years, the Kingdom of Jin was the largest country in the world. Both Mongolia and the Song Dynasty were considered vassals of the Kingdom of Jin, and they were required to pay "yearly taxes" every year.

Over the years, first Genghis Khan Temujin emerged and unified all the Mongolian tribes. After becoming more powerful, he continued to expand externally.

Especially in the "Battle of Yehuling", the Mongols severely damaged the Jin army, causing it to lose 400,000 elite troops.

Since then, the Kingdom of Jin has completely begun to decline.

In the past two years or so, Guo Mo of the Song Dynasty also bucked the trend, won the first prize, practiced martial arts, killed Jin soldiers, and regained lost ground. The Jin army was defeated again and again on the border between Song and Jin.

Although the Mingjiao still supported the Jin Kingdom on the surface, since their right envoy of light disappeared mysteriously in the Song Dynasty, "Snake King" Ouyang Feng had a series of unlucky starts.

There are different voices among the top leaders of Mingjiao. Some people advocate that if they continue to support the Jin Kingdom, they will inevitably find the Right Envoy of Light and avenge him. They also have a premonition that something unexpected may have happened to the Right Envoy of Light.

This Right Envoy of Light has pretty good martial arts skills, a top-notch one.

However, the bigger reason why he was able to overpower everyone and become the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult was that he had a good father. He was the biological son of the previous leader.

Naturally, there are some elders in the religion who support this Right Envoy of Light. Unfortunately, they are not strong enough, so they reluctantly become Right Envoy of Light. When they take a mission and go to the Central Plains, they actually lose themselves.

Another voice wanted to support Mongolia, and it came from their leftist ambassador of light, Xiao Ju.

This man is dressed in a foreign costume. It is said that he comes from Xiliao. His kung fu is so weird that no one knows his heritage.

In this time and space, Mongolia prematurely broke into war with Xixia and Jin. Xiliao, which was supposed to be destroyed by the Mongolian cavalry, is still lingering on.

The surname Xiao is the common surname of the Western Liao Dynasty, and it is also the descendant of the Daliao Kingdom.

The Daliao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom. Although so many years have passed, the remaining Liao Kingdom also established the Western Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions.

However, in the hearts of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, they still retained their hatred for the people of the Jin Kingdom. How could they easily forget the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family?

However, the Jin Kingdom was too large in these years, and the Western Liao Kingdom was still lingering in the Western Regions.

In that place surrounded by wolves, it was difficult for me to survive safely, let alone counterattack the Kingdom of Jin and take back my homeland.

Seeing the decline of the Jin Kingdom under the strong rise of Mongolia, Xiao Ju suddenly had the idea of ​​"revenge" in his heart.

It's just that the entire Mingjiao supports the Jin Kingdom for the time being, and it's not easy for him to jump out and sing the opposite.

In addition to being a strong martial artist, Xiao Ju is also very cold-blooded. He is not completely sure and generally won't jump out on his own initiative.

What's more, he escaped from the master's sect. After he came out, he restored his real name of Xiao Ju and completely abandoned his name in the master's sect.

More than forty years have passed, and he has already passed his 60th year. His skills are becoming more and more sophisticated. Except for the leader of the Ming Cult who has never touched him, Xiao Ju has never seen anyone with more powerful skills than him.

Although no one from the sect came to see him, Xiao Ju still stayed very low-key at Guangmingding and rarely went out.

He is still full of deep fear for his master. If the master is still alive, he will be over a hundred years old, right?

Until he met Ouyang Feng, a man who joined the Ming Cult halfway, defeated a Dharma King of the Ming Cult in one fell swoop, and was automatically promoted to the title of Protector Dharma King, known as the "Snake King".

By chance, Xiao Ju and Ouyang Feng verified each other's skills, and even though neither of them tried their best, they ended up in a draw.
To be continued...
