The wine was not good, and the food was not good, so the two ate a few mouthfuls and went back to their room to rest.
The night wind in late autumn idly fiddled with the wind chimes on the corridor of the inn.
This wind chime is not that wind chime.
Fenglingdu, there is no crossing tonight...
Chapter 222
Guo Mo and Huang Rong headed north after leaving "Fenglingdu".
This is the territory of the people of the Kingdom of Jin. To be precise, it is the Northeast River Road where Wanyankang was stationed.
Guo Mo didn't go to see Wan Yan Kang. Since the last meeting, he knew that the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin was no longer of one mind with the Kingdom of Jin.
Of course, Wan Yankang, who grew up in King Zhao's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin, would not easily fall to Song Dynasty.
With [-] "loyal soldiers" in hand, it seems that he wants to make a fuss on his own during this great battle.
Guo Mo didn't mean to stop him. The forces north of the Yellow River were already intricate and complicated, and they were not under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty for the time being, so there was not much conflict of interest.
Even if Guo Mo wanted to intervene, he still had more than enough energy.
The two walked for more than half a month, but there was still no clue, as if the other party had disappeared out of thin air.
At one time, Guo Mo thought that it was a prank deliberately played by the other party, or that the purpose was to transfer Huang Rong away from "Peach Blossom Island".
Unfortunately, according to the latest news from the "Huangcheng Secretary", "Peach Blossom Island" has been safe and sound recently.
Guo Mo paid special attention to the transmission of information, so he invested huge manpower and material resources at all costs. Whether it was the Beggar Gang or the "Imperial City Secretary", the total number of people in the north of the Yellow River has exceeded 5000.
Scattered in the Kingdom of Jin, 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 manage the matter himself, and his original position has been gradually taken over by Lu Guanying.
Although still under the "Imperial City Division", Guo Mo still named the organization controlled by Lu Chengfeng, "Tingfeng".
Have your own exclusive team, and there is no upper limit on the number of people, everything depends on actual needs.
Connect the intelligence of various armies and governments at all levels, and communicate with the various sub-helms of the beggar gang.
Guo Mo's plan is that the current "listening to the wind" focuses on external forces, focusing on the acquisition and transmission of enemy military and political information, and also cooperates with the military to perform special tasks at special moments.
In the future, it may be turned internal, and Guo Mo even thinks that in the future, he will establish a civilian logistics system within his sphere of influence.
Food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and things need to be done one by one.
Everything is still in its infancy, and he is already very satisfied to be able to receive information about "Peach Blossom Island" in Taiyuan, although the time point is seven or eight days ago.
The person in charge of "Tingfeng" in Taiyuan is an acquaintance Guo Mo once met, Lu Wei from "Guiyun Village" in Taihu Lake.
Rather than 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 lived in Taiyuan City for the time being, and asked "Tingfeng" to inquire about Ouyang Ke's news.
After all, the last appearance of "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi was to save Ouyang Ke at the foot of Taihang Mountain.
Then, if you find Ouyang Ke, you may be able to find Huang Yaoshi's whereabouts.
However, after more than a month of searching, there was no news about Ouyang Ke.
For this reason, Lu Chengfeng even sent someone to go to the "White Camel Villa" in the Western Regions.
The news I got was that "White Camel Villa" has only been managed by some servants in the past few years, neither the old owner "Xidu" Ouyang Feng nor the young owner Ouyang Ke have never returned.
The time has entered the winter month again, and 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 Jin army and the Mongolian army killed and injured inside and outside Juyongguan have exceeded 12.
Everyone took advantage of the intermission in winter to lick their own wounds quietly.
However, Mu Huali rarely withdrew his troops, and even mobilized another 6 troops from the rear, making up [-] troops again.
Outside Juyongguan, the prefectures that were originally under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Jin have now become the source of food and grass for the Mongolian army, and there is no need to transport it from the desert.
However, the Mongols were not good at farming, so they had to continue to retain the original officials of the Jin Kingdom. As long as they were obedient and did not play tricks, they still retained their vested interests and status.
It's just that the top has changed masters, and they have also become subordinates of the Mongols.
Mu Huali also dispatched some troops to implement temporary military control over each state capital in units of thousands of people.
These Mongolians are not good at managing people's livelihood, but they are good at destroying them. They complain everywhere for a while, but they have nowhere to complain.
While Guo Mo was waiting for news from Ouyang Ke in Taiyuan, a piece of information from the north completely shocked Guo Mo.
"Juyongguan has fallen—"
Regardless of the heavy snow, the Mongolian army unexpectedly attacked Juyongguan on a snowy night. For this reason, they lost tens of thousands of soldiers again, and countless horses froze to death.
But after all, Juyongguan was won.
More than [-] Jin soldiers died under the Mongolian iron cavalry. Even Wanyan Honglie, one of the northern commanders of Jin, was seriously injured.
If it weren't for Liang Ziweng and Peng Lianhu guarding him with hundreds of personal guards to protect each other to the death, it is estimated that this ambitious King Zhao of the Jin Kingdom for so many years would have been submerged under the iron hooves of the Mongols.
The key figure for the Mongols to conquer Juyongguan was actually Ouyang Feng, the former guest of King Zhao's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin, the well-known "Western Poison" in the Jianghu.
It was he himself who took advantage of the snowy night and led a dozen masters to kill and scatter the city gate guards from inside the pass, opened Juyong Pass, and welcomed the Mongolian cavalry to enter the pass.
The Mongolian army and the Jin army fought desperately inside and outside the narrow Juyong Pass.
The battle lasted for two full hours.
In the end, the large and powerful army of the Kingdom of Jin still failed to resist the wolf-like Mongols.
Lost Juyongguan, retreated to Changping, and launched fierce street fighting.
It was in the street fighting in Changping that Wanyan Honglie was shot in the left chest by a cold arrow. The Jin soldiers lost Changping again 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 declared that "the knife will not be sealed for three days"!
The small city of Changping instantly turned into a hell on earth.
"Ouyang Feng—Mu Huali—"
When Guo Mo saw this news, he smashed the table in front of him with his palm and gritted his teeth.
He is not a saint, but he can't see that for his own selfishness, let the wolf-like army attack unarmed civilians.
Even in the Kingdom of Jin, there are mostly Han people everywhere.
"Brother Mo, how could Ouyang Feng be like this?"
Everyone knows that Uncle Ouyang and Nephew Ouyang have always been the guests of King Zhao's Mansion in the Kingdom of Jin. Why did they suddenly turn to Mongolia?
According to internal information, Guo Mo even knew that the Mingjiao behind Ouyang Feng, the "Western Poison", now also supports Jin Guo.
It seemed that his identity as "Murong Family" was at work.
A few years ago, the Kingdom of Jin was the largest country in the universe. No matter Mongolia or the Great Song Dynasty, they were all vassals of the Kingdom of Jin, and they had to hand in the "yearly tax" every year.
In these years, Genghis Khan Temujin was born first, unified the various ministries of Mongolia, and after his wings became more and more prosperous, he continued to expand abroad.
Especially in the "Battle of Wild Fox Ridge", the Mongols severely damaged the Jin army, causing it to lose 40 elite.
Since then, Jin Guo has completely started to go downhill.
In the past two years, Guo Mo of the Great Song Dynasty also rose against the trend.
Although the Ming Cult still supports the Kingdom of Jin on the surface, since their right envoy of the Brightness disappeared mysteriously in the Great Song Dynasty, the "Snake King" Ouyang Feng has repeatedly failed in his mission.
There were different voices among the top Mingjiao officials. Some advocated that they continue to support the Kingdom of Jin, and that they would surely find and avenge the right envoy of the light.
This right envoy of light, his martial arts are not bad, and he is a top-notch peak.
However, the greater reason for him to overwhelm everyone and become the right envoy of Mingjiao is that he has a good father, who is the son of the previous leader.
Naturally, there are some veterans in the church who support this Guangming right envoy, but unfortunately they are not strong enough, so they reluctantly became the Guangming right envoy, and they went to the Central Plains on a mission, and they lost themselves.
Another voice wanted to support Mongolia, and it came from their bright left envoy Xiao Ju.
This person is dressed in a foreign race, it is said that he is from Xiliao, and his kung fu is so weird that no one knows his inheritance.
In this time and space, Mongolia had prematurely fought wars with Xixia and Jin. Xiliao, which was supposed to be wiped out by Mongolian iron cavalry, is still lingering.
The surname Xiao is the common surname of Xiliao, and also the descendant of the Daliao Kingdom.
Daliao was destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin. Although so many years have passed, the rest of the Liao Kingdom also established the Western Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions.
However, in the hearts of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, there is still hatred for the people of the Jin Kingdom. How can the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family be easily forgotten?
It's just that the Kingdom of Jin has been too large in recent years, and the Kingdom of Xiliao has been lingering in the Western Regions.
In that place surrounded by wolves, it is difficult for him to survive in peace, let alone counterattack the Kingdom of Jin and regain his homeland.
Seeing the strong rise of Mongolia and the gradual decline of the Kingdom of Jin, the idea of "revenge" suddenly sprouted in Xiao Ju's heart.
It's just that the entire Mingjiao supports Jin Guo for the time being, and it's not easy for him to jump out and sing the opposite.
In addition to his high martial arts skills, Xiao Ju is also very cold and cold. He is not fully sure, and generally he will not take the initiative to jump out.
What's more, he escaped from the teacher's school, and after he came out, he restored his real name Xiao Ju, and completely abandoned the name in the teacher's school.
More than 40 years have passed, and he has already passed his sixtieth year, and his kungfu is getting more and more advanced. Except for the Mingjiao leader who has never seen a hand, Xiao Ju has never seen anyone who is more powerful than him.
Although no one from the master's school came to look for him, Xiao Ju still kept a low profile at Guangmingding, rarely going out.
He is still full of deep fear for his master. If the master is still alive, he is already over a hundred years old, right?
Until he met Ouyang Feng, who joined the Ming Cult on the way, defeated a Dharma King of the Ming Cult, and was automatically promoted to the Supreme Protector of the Dharma King, known as the "Snake King".
By chance, Xiao Ju and Ouyang Feng verified each other's kung fu, and when neither of them tried their best, they even drew a tie.
Xiao Ju knows better that this new "Snake King" has a well-known title in the world - "Western Poison".
And together with the other four "Dongxie", "Southern Emperor", "Northern Beggar" and "Zhong Shentong", they are called the "Five Wonders" of the world.
Only then did Xiao Ju realize that there are still some people in the world who can compete with him, so he practiced more diligently in the next few years.
Xiao Ju and Ouyang Feng had a simple discussion, and they felt a sense of sympathy for each other. What's more, this Xiao Ju was better at using poison.
There are several kinds of poisoning skills, which are unique to the Western Regions. It is said that they have been passed down from ancient times, but unfortunately there is no way to study them.
At this time, the leader of Mingjiao is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. He reluctantly took over Mingjiao in order to repay the kindness of the previous leader.
For the power of Mingjiao's leader and Mingjiao's educational affairs, he has no greed at all, but is obsessed with several advanced martial arts of Mingjiao.
Therefore, in the past few years as the leader of Mingjiao, the educational affairs have been taken care of by the envoys of light and four Dharma kings, and he just stayed in the main altar to practice martial arts diligently.
Or sneak out occasionally, travel around famous mountains and rivers, and explore secrets.
Regarding the two completely different voices within the Ming Cult, the leader simply ignored them, turned around and stepped down from the Bright Summit, trying to keep out of sight and out of mind.
All the way to the north, to find a place he just discovered in the ancient book - Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor.
Immortals caress my top and endure longevity.
After searching for many years, I finally found a trace of the visit in an unknown ancient book. Taking advantage of the gap between the two factions, the leader of Mingjiao started his search journey.
It's a pity that he went to the Guangming Summit and never came back.
Xiao Ju, the left envoy of Guangming, and Ouyang Feng, the "Snake King", hit it off immediately on this matter, and Ouyang Feng personally acted to join Genghis Khan Temujin in the open.
And Xiao Ju was secretly deploying Mingjiao masters. In fact, deep down in his heart, he was still afraid of his master, and he didn't dare to go down to the Bright Summit easily.
"Mr. Ouyang has worked hard this time. Thanks to Mr. Ouyang's help, otherwise, my Mongolian cavalry would still be blocked from Juyongguan."
In a huge Mongolian tent, there are three people drinking, and the one in the middle is Genghis Khan Temujin.
If Guo Mo were here, he would definitely see that Temujin is now older than he was a few years ago, his body is also slightly fatter, and the gray hair on his temples has also increased.
The person sitting on the top with his head bowed was Ouyang Feng, the "Western Poison", while Temujin's third son, Okuotai, was hanging down his arms to accompany him.
"Big Khan, you are being polite. Since my Patriarch has decided to help Big Khan and rule the universe, this old man will naturally go all out. As long as Big Khan rules the world, don't forget the promise that day."
"Western Poison" Ouyang Feng changed his previous arrogance, and restrained himself a lot in front of Genghis Khan.
"Haha, Mr. Ouyang, don't worry, the world is so big, it's not a problem to set aside thousands of miles for the establishment of the country at will, and this Khan will never break his promise."
Wo Kuotai also came over and toasted "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng frequently.
Ouyang Feng withdrew from Temujin's royal tent on the grounds that he had important matters to do, and promised that he would come to help whenever there was any difficulty, and then he drifted west.
"Father Khan, this man is a jackal, he is definitely not a kind person. He first took refuge in the Kingdom of Jin, and when he saw that the situation of the Kingdom of Jin was gone, he joined my tent in Mongolia."
