A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 237 The Unavoidable Great War
He had observed the couple, although their attire was a bit strange, but their speech and behavior were elegant, their appearance was pretty, they were not as rough as the Mongols, so he dispelled the possibility of being spies.In my heart, I just feel that they are a naive young couple who think they can defend their home and country by themselves... How naive, the sergeant thought.

"You two, let's go..." The sergeant sighed, and angrily persuaded, "I, the Xiangyang sergeant, took over your heart, but the defense of the city is my job after all, so you should not take any risks."

"So..." Fang Xian pondered for a while and said, "That's fine, I'll leave a message with Guo Jing and leave."

"Looking for Hero Guo?"

"Well, give me something, I have some relationship with Guo Jing."

Seeing their age and behavior, the sergeant really didn't look like Guo Jing, so he became suspicious again for a while.

It just so happened that an ordinary-looking young man with fairly bright clothes came to look for a post to express his condolences. Seeing that there was something wrong with the city gate, he hurried over.

Seeing this man coming, the sergeant seemed to be coming for a savior, and said again and again: "Young Xia Wu, come and have a look, these two said they are looking for Hero Guo."

"Looking for my master?!" Wu Shaoxia frowned and sized up the couple, he wanted to reprimand him, but seeing how beautiful Xiao Longnu was, he was stunned and asked respectfully, "You two, where are you from? "

"At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the tomb of the living dead." Fang Xian replied with a smile.

"Tomb of the Living Dead..." Wu Xiuwen rested his chin in thought, he had heard of this place before, after pondering for a while, he suddenly looked up at the two of them, and said in shock, "It's you? Yang Guo?!"

"Yes, I have a good memory." Fang Xianle said, "Which one are you from? Brother or brother?"

"...Hmph." Wu Xiuwen looked sideways at Yang Guo and said in a deep voice, "You came here this time to seek revenge?"

As soon as they heard the word "seeking revenge", the soldiers immediately became nervous, and they all clenched their weapons tightly. Those who seek revenge from Guo Jing are not ordinary people. It's a pity, this beautiful couple is a match made in heaven.

Fang Xian waved his hands repeatedly, took out the wedding invitations, and threw two of them to Wu Xiuwen: "Xiao Wu, you are overthinking. On the seventh day of July, I will hold a banquet with my wife, and I hope you will appreciate it."

"Having a banquet?" Wu Xiuwen didn't accept the wedding invitation, but angrily said, "Now that the country is at stake, do you still have the mind to throw a banquet?"

Fang Xian's complexion darkened, and he suppressed his anger and said: "The country is the country, and the people are the people. Why don't people get married, have children, get old, get sick and die?!"

Wu Xiuwen was stunned, and then realized that he had indeed made a slip of the tongue. He had stayed with Guo Jing for a long time, and he was always concerned with national affairs, and his whole thinking was justified... Thinking about Guo Jing, he always used this as an excuse. Guo Fu's marriage has never been promised, so she can't help feeling angry.Looking at this couple, I couldn't help feeling envious and jealous again. To relieve my annoyance, I said disdainfully:

"Cao Min is good, don't think about these things, hey..."

What Wu Xiuwen said was a sign of compassion.

Although what she said was annoying, there was really nothing wrong with it. Not only did Xiao Longnv not get angry when she heard it, she hugged her even tighter. She didn't have as many ideas as Huang Rong, and being able to live a good life was better than anything else.

Fang Xian didn't want to lose his temper, so he just asked, "I'm sure I'm a grassroots person, but I dare to ask Brother Wu what your official position is, so I'll have a title."

"...I..." Wu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

official position?Guo Jing didn't even have an official position, he just assisted in the defense of the city as Master Lu's retainer.The only thing I can do in my life is the words "Guo Jing's apprentice". After all, it seems that I am also a grassroots person.

The sergeant next to him was very sensible and quickly helped Xiao Wu out of the siege.

"Wu Shaoxia is Guo Daxia's disciple. Although he is a commoner, he takes national affairs as his own responsibility just like Guo Daxia. He is generous and dedicated. This is a great chivalrous man, which cannot be measured by secular 'official positions'."

Fang Xian glanced at the sergeant, is this kid very promising!

"May I ask what the commander's name is?"

The sergeant frowned: "I don't dare to do it, I'm just a firefighter. The regular sergeant is preparing for the war, and I will help take over the job of the guard!"

"It's a blessing to the country to be so popular."

"Don't dare to take it, the young hero has said it too much!" The fire head has a bright gaze, and he is really a figure lurking among the people.

Fang Xian said solemnly: "Brother Huotou, you are sensible, come here, and I will give you a wedding invitation too."

"……This……"

"No problem." Fang Xian said with a smile, "Brother Huotou can rest assured that Mongolia will withdraw its troops during my wedding banquet."

"What?!" Huotou was startled, "You and there?"

"I will know when the time comes." Fang Xian cupped his hands, "Brother Huotou, let's have a deeper chat when we find a chance. I'm going to find Guo Jing."

Wu Xiuwen only felt that he was being ignored, where did the fire come from, the protagonist?Dark line?After all, I am a well-known person... Why is a Huotou Jun so awesome...

Fang Xian and Huotou are a hero, cherish a hero...

Suddenly, Huotou heard something, turned his head, his gaze was like a torch, and he stared at it, only to see a black smoke rising in the distance...

"No, it's coming just as soon as I said it." Huotou turned his head and said, "Young hero, female hero, I'm afraid it's too late..."

Fang Xian also saw the wolf smoke, and only asked, "How long will it take from there to here?"

"Half an hour to an hour." Huotou hastily cupped his hands, "I'm going back to report quickly and replenish some rations for the soldiers to go. Guo Daxia will also discuss with General Lu at this time, I'm afraid I won't see you. Besides, at this time It's not good to send a wedding invitation..."

Seeing Huotou walking away quickly, Fang Xian thought to himself, indeed, sending wedding invitations at this time is a bit too much.

Thinking of this, he also turned around and left with Xiao Longnv.

Seeing this, Wu Xiuwen snorted: "Hurry up and run away, the two armies will not hurt you when the two armies fight."

"Noisy." Xiao Longnv finally got annoyed and turned around to give him a slap in the face.

"Long'er..." Fang Xian quickly held her down.

Could it be that Yueru's personality is so awesome that she completely suppressed Yuyan and Ling'er.

(The Battle of Xiangyang in the book is 16 years later, and it is condensed here in advance, including various characters who will appear in advance.)
An hour later.

Kublai Khan personally conquered, standing on the horse, gazing at Xiangyang, majestic.

Behind him are the national teacher Jinlun Fawang, Xiaoxiangzi, Yin Kexi and other masters, and after that, Huo Du, Daerba and other masters.

Behind the dozen or so masters were the dark Mongolian soldiers. This time it was a siege battle. There were not many cavalry, but there were quite a lot of construction machinery. It seemed that they planned to take them down in one fell swoop.

Kublai Khan personally held the bow and arrow, aimed at the top of the city, bent his bow and shot.

The wind was loud, and the arrow feathers were impartial, hitting the building above the city wall.

"In half an hour, throw away your helmet and armor and go out of the city to accept the surrender. This king can keep Xiangyang intact." Kublai Khan was full of anger, and shouted loudly, "Otherwise, the city will be slaughtered."

After saying that, he turned around on his horse and paid for it.

Fang Xian and Xiao Longnv were hiding on a hill not far away, so they could see clearly.

"Oh...according to the story, it seems that I had to kill Kublai Khan myself, and the Mongols withdrew." Fang Xian murmured silently, "But this script is not good, tampering with history is too serious, rather than let others fall flat The Great Song Dynasty is not as harmonious as this Kublai Khan."

"Do you have to worry about it?" Xiao Longnu asked, "Why don't we live a good life, why come out to take risks?"

"This... should require Guo Jing's approval." Fang Xian sighed, "Now that Quanzhen Sect is settled, Guo Jing and everything else will be settled, and we will be married, so we can go back to the ancient tomb to have a baby."

Hearing "baby birth", Xiao Longnu's face turned red again, she pinched her for a while and said, "Tell me, how many babies are you going to have?"

Well, Ling'er's personality has finally risen.

Half an hour later, the ground began to roar, the city gate opened, and General Lu led the army out, followed by Guo Jing, Huang Rong and other martial arts figures.

But the situation is too different... Xiangyang is so poor that it doesn't even have a horse!
From the general to the small soldier, they all walk on foot, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong also run hard, without any momentum.Looking behind them, it seemed that there was no one else except Da Wu, Xiao Wu, and Yeluqi.

No, there is Mr. Huotou!Mr. Huotou came up to fight with a shovel after cooking the meal, which is very heroic.

When the two armies confronted each other, Fang Xian probably saw the gap clearly, not more, not less, just twice the difference.

He was a little puzzled. In this situation, he should stick to the city and not fight. Why did he go out so boldly to fight to the death?
He was startled immediately, there are two explanations for this.

One: The general who defends the city and Guo Jing have IQ problems.

Second: Xiangyang is out of food.

"The imperial court is too much..." Fang Xian sighed, "No money for soldiers or money...doesn't it even provide food? The Mongolian army stepped across the city, and it was a flat river, and it was a mess."

Why didn't General Lu think so?The horse under the crotch has already been boiled into soup for the soldiers to eat.

During this period of time, if Guo Jing's prestige had not been used to attract the common people and conscientious businessmen to support food and armaments, I am afraid that this army would not be able to maintain it.

General Lu is a sensible person, fighting means death, retreating means death.The imperial court ordered him to stick to it. If he retreated, he would be questioned by those bullshit officials and idiot emperors. Even now, the civil and military struggles are still going on, and the Great Song Dynasty is dead.

Instead of retreating back and dying inexplicably, leaving a legacy of infamy for eternity, it is better to fight to the death here and be remembered for eternity.

I just feel sorry for my wife and children, and no one will take care of them from now on. I don’t know if those people have a conscientious descendant who can take care of them.

General Lu thought so, and led his troops to meet the Mongolian army.

Kublai Khan knew that he was going to fight to the death, so he didn't talk nonsense this time, he just waved his arm, the soldiers behind him waved the commander's flag, the horn sounded, two teams of cavalry opened the way, and the army went to kill.

General Lu said coldly: "Hero Guo, Lady Huang, if you are defeated, you can flee. The imperial court has not paid you a penny of your salary, but you have gone bankrupt to support the imperial court..."

"General Lu, don't need to say too much. Guo Jing is here, so he won't leave." Guo Jing closed his eyes and drew his breath, then suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the Mongolian tent. "If you want to enter Xiangyang, you can use Guo Jing's corpse Step on it."

When Huang Rong heard this, she only sighed slightly.According to her mind, it would be impossible to fight to the death here, but marry a chicken like a chicken, marry a dog like a dog, marry a hero and follow the hero, if she says she wants to run away at this time, I am afraid that Brother Jing will never ignore her for the rest of her life.
