Chapter 2422 2424 [On the World]
"Brother Ke, you have been in the desert for ten years and are familiar with Mongolian affairs. Is what Kanger said true?" Qiu Chuji asked Ke Zhen'e.
Ke Zhen'e nodded.
When they first arrived in the desert, Temujin was just the leader of a small tribe. For ten years, he fought endlessly and annexed countless tribes in the desert. He commanded his subordinates with strict military discipline, and everyone was brave and good at fighting. He himself is both wise and brave, either by attacking with strength or by outwitting, he is invincible across the North Kingdom.
Even righteous brother Zamuhe and righteous father Wang Han were defeated by him one after another. Such a character can indeed be called a hero, once the Kingdom of Jin is defeated, it is very likely that he will attack Da Song.
It's a pity that in the past ten years, they only paid attention to teaching Guo Jing martial arts, and ignored the affairs of Mongolia. If he was as smart as Xiang Nan, he should have killed Temujin long ago to avoid raising tigers.
Even Ma Yu regretted why he didn't slap Temujin to death when he taught Guo Jing inner strength.
"This..." Everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Brother Yang, is Temujin really like what you said?" Guo Jing asked in disbelief.
He had lived with Temujin for twelve years, and he did not believe that the other party would be such a person.
"Brother Guo, I am the young prince of the Jin Kingdom. I was raised as a prince since I was a child. I have learned everything from the Four Books and Five Classics, the art of war and strategy, history and geography, and the mind of the emperor.
As far as I know, there are many people like Temujin in history. For example, the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun in the Han Dynasty; the Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo in the Tang Dynasty; the Khitan Khan Yelu Abaoji of the Five Dynasties;
These people all started from a young age, were talented, brave and good at fighting, and built their own empires from weak to strong. Their initial dream may be that they just want to have enough food and not to be beaten.
But as their power grows and their followers grow, their ambitions will also grow stronger. At that time, even if he himself does not want to fight, his men will not stop.
Just like Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added to his body. The people below all point to the merits of supporting him. When he gets promoted and gets rich, so what if he himself opposes it? He was still put on the throne. "Xiang Nan explained.
Seeing that Xiang Nan used Zhao Kuangyin as an example, it was difficult for everyone to refute.
Because of historical records, when Chen Qiao mutinied and the yellow robe was added, Zhao Kuangyin was indeed forced. Even being an emperor can be forced, so attacking the Song Dynasty is naturally a no-brainer.
At that time, even if Temujin is willing to show mercy, his courtiers will not agree.
…
"Then what should we do?" Guo Jing asked suspiciously.
"There is no way. After the Song Dynasty lost the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, it not only lost the barrier to stop the enemy, but also cut off the road of fine horses. Therefore, once foreign tribes invade, the army can rush down unstoppable.
Besides, the Song Dynasty always advocated the rule of culture and belittled generals. Famous generals like Di Qing were squeezed out by literati and died of depression; military exploits like Yue Wumu also died under trumped-up charges.
With so much emphasis on civility over martial arts, how to resist the wolf-like iron cavalry? I am afraid that Zhuge Wuhou and Wusheng Guan Yu will be reborn, so they have no choice but to do nothing. After all, with their abilities, they cannot unify China from south to north. Xiang Nan shook his head.
Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help turning pale.
"Could it be that the only way for us Han people to perish?!" Ke Zhen'e couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Everyone was also dejected and worried.
"It's not completely helpless." Seeing this, Xiang Nan said hastily.
"What method?" Qiu Chuji asked hastily.
At that time, it will be a mess, and it will no longer be a hidden danger. "Xiang Nan explained.
"This is a way." Qiu Chuji said with his eyes brightened.
"Brother Guo is the best candidate to assassinate Temujin." Xiang Nan looked at Guo Jing and said, "He grew up with Temujin, and Temujin was completely defenseless against him. It's just that people are not grass, who can do that?" Ruthless. Twelve years of nurturing grace, how can you do it if you say you can do it."
Guo Jing's face turned purple when he saw what Xiang Nan said.
Indeed, if he was asked to assassinate Temujin, he really couldn't do it. The other party raised him for twelve years and betrothed his daughter to him, almost like his father.
Such a character, even if he knows that he will be an enemy in the future, he will not be able to do it right now.
"Alas~" Hearing what he said, Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, Han Baoju and others all heaved a long sigh.
Not to mention Guo Jing, even if it were them, it would be very difficult to assassinate Temujin.
"Is there no other way?" Wang Chuyi asked again.
"If there were, Patriarch Chongyang would not live in seclusion in the mountains and become a monk." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
Seeing that he actually used his master as an example, Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking that he was too bold.
But what Xiang Nan said is indeed not unreasonable. Like the Chongyang Patriarch, it is difficult to make a difference in martial arts and martial arts, so he can only become a monk to practice Taoism. What can they do? !
So for a while, everyone was depressed.
…
"Actually, masters, masters, uncles, and the Seven Heroes, don't be pessimistic. Confucius has a saying: When the barbarians enter China, they will be in China;
Tribes, barbarians also. To enter Huaxia, you also need to dress yourself, write your own words, and talk about your etiquette. Just like the Quanrong, Baiyue, Sanmiao, Dongyi, Xianbei, Turkic and other tribes before.
Now, they have long been integrated with the Han people, how can they be separated from each other. Seeing their embarrassment, Xiang Nan quickly comforted them, "Besides, as long as we Han people are still bloody, even if the Mongols invade China, they won't be able to make us submit."
A single spark can start a prairie fire. As long as they persist in resisting, sooner or later, they will be driven back to the grassland. Or assimilate them. "
Hearing what he said, everyone finally got a little angry.
"By the way, Brother Guo, you'd better hurry up and get your aunt out of the desert." Xiang Nan said again, "Otherwise, when Temujin goes to war with Song, if you disobey, he will definitely threaten you with your aunt. .
As your aunt raised you in the bitter cold of the desert, it goes without saying that you must be extremely resolute, and you would rather die than submit when the time comes. That's troublesome. "
"Ouch~" Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Guo Jing, the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River, Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and others all cried out in surprise, thinking that this matter was very likely.
After all, Temujin was a hero who would kill even his brother-in-law, so it is possible to use Mrs. Guo as a threat.
And Mrs. Guo, as Xiang Nan said, is indeed a persevering and righteous person. Although he doesn't know a little martial arts, he doesn't lack chivalrous spirit at all. Therefore, in the face of threats, it is likely that they would rather die than surrender.
In this way, it is really troublesome.
"Brother Guo, after taking my mother out of the mansion, let's pick up my aunt to enter the customs." Xiang Nan said, "Let's go quietly and return quietly. I guess Temujin won't notice."
Guo Jing thought for a while, then nodded.
