Chapter 1167 Well, Your Enemy Has Become Your Master's Son-in-Law

"The officials were worried that General Guo would be hindered by the local officials when he went to Xiangyang, so they transferred Xiangyang defender Lu Wende and his men back to Zhao Kui's command so that General Guo could flex his muscles." Eunuch Duan continued.

Then Lu Wende is Lu De, the defender of Xiangyang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In Lao Jin's writing, this Lu Wende became a timid, incompetent and incompetent dog official, but in fact Lu Wende guarded Xiangyang and moved to Jianghuai and Jinghu , Sichuan frontline for more than 30 years, repelled the Mongolian army many times, and achieved impressive results.

Accumulated military exploits were conferred the titles of Chongguogong and Weiguogong, and after he died of illness, he was given the posthumous title of "Wuzhong", and later he was posthumously named "Heyi County King". At that time, the Mongolian army built Lumen, Baihe and other villages under the cover of building a field, which led to the siege of Xiangfan, but there were few omissions in other places, but they were also called famous generals.

Hey, Lao Jin’s history is really failing. There are many omissions in the historical facts in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Leaving aside the matter of Han Tuozhou before and Lu Wende now, it is also wrong to say that Temujin and the Mongolian army attacked the Song Dynasty. out of nowhere.

It took seven years for Temujin to conquer Khwarazm before returning to Mongolia, but it didn’t take long for him to return as described in the novel; and after returning to Mongolia from the western expedition, Temujin did not attack the Kingdom of Jin immediately. At this time, Mu Huali, who presided over the attack on the Kingdom of Jin, died of hatred because of Xixia's betrayal of the alliance. Regardless of his age, Genghis Khan insisted on conquering Xixia himself. Temujin died just after the envoy begged for surrender.

Six years after his death, Okudei and Tuo Lei followed his will and completely destroyed the Kingdom of Jin. As for the conflict between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty, it was already the seventh year after Temujin's death. It has been two years since his death, and Guo Jing's Andana still has a chance to meet him outside Xiangyang City?

"That's great, but Lu Wende is also a rare general. It would be a pity if he died at the hands of the Mongols. I hope the officials will pay more attention when ordering." Shen Long said.

"That's natural." Eunuch Duan also knew that although Zhao Yun didn't want to see the Song army go north, he also used this opportunity to use some means to attack Shi Miyuan's party in the court, but he also attached great importance to preserving his strength , especially the names of Yu Jie, Meng Gong, Wang Jian, Lu Wende, Lu Wenhuan, etc., he had heard Zhao Yun mention it many times.

"Since Hero Yang said so, our family will go to the palace to report to the officials, and soon our family will go to Niujia Village to issue an order to General Guo." Now Guo Jing has returned to Lin'an with the victorious army and is recuperating in Niujia Village.

After saying that, Eunuch Duan went back. After a few days, Eunuch Duan found Shen Long and went with him to Niujia Village. When they arrived at Niujia Village, the imperial decree was issued. Shen Long and Guo Jing saw that the imperial decree was not Zhongzhi, but With the appendix of the Zhengshitang, all the procedures are complete, which completely dispels Guo Jing's concerns about taking over Xiangyang City Defense.

After receiving the imperial decree, Guo Jing bid farewell to Li Ping, Yang Tiexin and others. Li Ping was not dissatisfied with this, "It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the court and protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty. When you go to Xiangyang this time, don't At home, with the sister-in-law of the Yang family and Nian Ci around, and the government granting such a big house, I'm sure I'll be fine."

In addition to promoting Guo Jing, Zhao Yun also bestowed houses on Shen Long and Guo Jing, asked the Ministry of Industry to build two large houses for them in Niujia Village, and deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of chasing Yue Fei and others, and added Yang Zaixing Well, since Shen Long didn't want to be an official, he could only use this method to win him over.

"Mother, please rest assured, the child will definitely fight for the country like Lord Yue." Guo Jing took the order generously, and led his soldiers to Xiangyang with Shen Long and Huang Rong; a few days ago,

Guo Jing and Huang Rong are already married. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for a general to take his wife on an expedition. However, there was an example of Liang Hongyu before, and Huang Rong was still holding the Beggar Gang, so after Zhao Yun knew about it, he specially added it to the imperial decree. He said so that Huang Rong could follow Guo Jing in a reasonable way.

Eunuch Duan was also going to Xiangyang with Guo Jing to issue the imperial decree. Along the way, he told Guo Jing about the character and history of the current officials in Xiangyang, so that Guo Jing could make preparations in advance.

With such an understanding of the courtiers, it seems that Zhao Yun did not learn from him for so long. Seeing that his hard work has paid off, Shen Long is also very happy.

As for whether Guo Jing could handle the affairs of the local officials, he wasn't worried. With Huang Rong's help and the support of the officials, he expected that those officials would not be able to make a fuss.

It's just that there is one more thing that Shen Long doesn't know. Mei Chaofeng is still outside Xiangyang City. If she knows that Guo Jing is coming, how can she stop?

How to resolve the grievances between Mei Chaofeng and Guo Jing? Could it be that Shen Long is going to tell her, well, your enemy has become your master's son-in-law, I think it's okay to forget about it?

Hey, I still don’t understand the grudges of Mei Chaofeng killing Ke Zhen’e’s elder brother Feitian Shenlong Ke Buxie, and Chen Xuanfeng killing Xiao Mituo Zhang Asheng. If the Jiangnan Six Monsters know that Mei Chaofeng is here, they will definitely come to seek revenge on her Bar? Thinking about these things makes me feel dizzy.

A group of people went west to Lianghu South Road, turned northward, and arrived in Xiangyang in a few days. They saw that the people were stable, the business market was prosperous, and there was no sign of war. Xiangyang was an important town in the northern part of the Southern Song Dynasty, with tall walls and elite soldiers guarding it.

Guo Jing was delighted to see it, if he was allowed to defend the city, as long as there is no shortage of food and grass, with the solid city wall and the elite defenders in the city, no matter how many enemy troops come, they will not be afraid.

Entering the city, he summoned the officials in the city to issue the imperial decree. Earlier, Lu Wende had led his cronies to serve under Zhao Kui. The officials in the city had already known that the imperial court would send someone to replace Lu Wende. The last emperor Wanyan Chenglin and the famous general Guo Jing who took back the corpse of Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Guo Jing's reputation in the army is extremely reputable, the former lieutenant generals were dissatisfied when they heard that Lu Wende was transferred, but now they heard that Guo Jing came, but they all bowed to him, allowing Guo Jing to control the Xiangyang defenders without much effort.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were busy rectifying the troops, while Shen Long came to Xiangyang City alone, searched around, and found Mei Chaofeng's whereabouts, maybe it was because of taking snake gallbladder, or maybe he got Mei Chao's advice Feng has achieved success in practicing the "Nine Yin Manual", and now Mei Chaofeng's martial arts have improved a lot.

"Master, you have worked hard all these years alone here!" Shen Long said to Mei Chaofeng.
