Chapter 1533 Yang Guo
Time flies, and another ten years have passed. Guo Jing and Huang Rong both gave birth to their first child, Guo Fu.
Although Guo Fu was only nine years old, she was already clever and eccentric. No one dared to provoke her on Peach Blossom Island. She was a little bully. Of course, because she was the daughter of the great hero Guo Jing, she was naturally doted on, and her temperament was inevitably arrogant.
In addition, Huang Rong herself put her family first, and she always responded to her daughter's requests, which made Guo Fu even more unruly. On the island, she climbed up the roof and went to the sea to catch fish, which was a mess. Not only did others not stop her, but they praised her for her cleverness. In this way, Guo Fu became even more uncontrollable, and she regarded herself as a heroine.
Guo Jing was usually busy with the work of guarding Xiangyang, and rarely returned to Peach Blossom Island, and he neglected to discipline his daughter.
The civil strife in Mongolia had ended, but Hua Zheng was now working hard to move westward, because she knew that when Guo Jing was going to defend Xiangyang, she was ready to leave the Southern Song Dynasty to the end and become the last dessert. She would enjoy the process of ravaging the Southern Song Dynasty.
Ten years later, the Jianghu is still the same. Under the leadership of Guo Jing, the Jianghu people are working hard to carry out guerrilla warfare and collect intelligence from Mongolia in the old land of Liao.
Although Guo Jing is not an official, he has a very high reputation. The officials in Xiangyang follow his lead and obey Guo Jing's specific work. Guo Jing has become the king of Xiangyang.
"There is no way out if you always defend." Duran came again, with his twisted logic.
It is obviously not the first time that Guo Jing has listened to Duran wasting time: "Is it the same old thing again? Duran, if you want to help me, what I need is food and military pay, not empty words. You said that if you defend for a long time, you will lose. To expand the results of the war, you must take the initiative to occupy more land and obtain more resources, but do you know what the current situation of our Southern Song army is? They have no ability to recover lost territory."
Every time Duran came, he advocated his offensive theory, attacking instead of defending. Guo Jing also knew that it was impossible to defend all the time, but without a solid city wall, the Southern Song army was really vulnerable. Moreover, Guo Jing only has influence in Xiangyang, but the Southern Song court has completely different ideas from Guo Jing. They will compromise if they can.
"Do you know Emperor Xiao Feng of Liao?" Du Lan asked.
"Yes, Xiao Feng was originally the leader of the Beggars' Sect, but because of his Khitan identity, he was excluded by the Central Plains martial arts world. Later, he returned to Liao and became the King of the Southern Courtyard. Later, he was appointed as the regent. Finally, he launched a coup and became the emperor of Liao. He worked hard to promote education and made Liao strong for a time. Under his rule, Liao and Song were peaceful for decades." Guo Jing knew everything, because now his wife is also the leader of the Beggars' Sect. Hong Qigong went to travel the world after giving up the throne.
"You see, Xiao Feng's control of the court has changed Liao. If you want to protect the Southern Song, you must also gain more say. You have to make the Southern Song army obey you." Du Lan gave him an expression that said it was right to listen to me.
However, Guo Jing is not Xiao Feng. Guo Jing is more stubborn than Xiao Feng. He will send guests away as soon as he slams the table.
"The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people. Knowing that the people cannot be saved and the country cannot be saved, but still tying himself and others to be buried with the Southern Song Dynasty court, is nothing but misleading the country and the people." Du Lan also slammed the table, and the sound of slamming the table was louder than Guo Jing.
"Du Lan, stop talking, nothing you say can change my mind." Even if he dies, he will be loyal to the country. Thinking about the contributions made by countless martyrs to the Southern Song Dynasty, Guo Jing will not give up even if he dies. The Southern Song Dynasty did nothing wrong. Although the court was corrupt, as long as the emperor woke up, everything would have a chance to change.
The living standards of the people in each era are different. In the world of backward productivity in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is good for the people to be able to eat and survive. It is a dream to want electricity and telephones.
The people of the Southern Song Dynasty can survive now, and there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters. It's just that Mongolia is cruel. In Guo Jing's view, as long as Mongolia is blocked, the Southern Song Dynasty has unlimited possibilities.
So Guo Jing will never overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty, nor will he attack rashly. He must do a good job in the defense of Xiangyang. These are some small things he can do for the country and the people.
Du Lan was driven out, "Guo Jing, if you don't listen to others, you will bring disaster to your family sooner or later."
Huang Rong heard the conversation between her husband and Du Lan in the dark. She naturally disagreed with Du Lan's words, but she also knew that her husband was trapped now. Her greatest hope was to return to Peach Blossom Island with her husband and children.
"Brother Jing, don't be angry. It's not the first day we met Master. He just doesn't know what to say."
Guo Jing said nothing, but he was obviously very unhappy.
With the increase of age, Guo Jing is getting farther and farther away from the young man who shot the eagle in Mobei. He is always frowning. His career occupies a large proportion, but it is a dead chess.
Du Lan left Xiangyang and went directly to the south of the Yangtze River. He wanted to meet Yang Guo's family.
Yang Kang naturally could not die for his country. He fled to the Southern Song Dynasty, married a wife, and gave birth to Yang Guo. Of course, Yang Kang would not recognize his fault. The reason why Yang Guo is still called Yang Guo is entirely because Du Lan interfered.
In short, Yang Guo is still Yang Kang's son.
Yang Kang was devoted to educating his son to restore the country, just like Murong Fu who was obsessed with the old country and could not forget it.
Fortunately, Yang Guo also had a mysterious teacher, that is, the "grandfather" pretended by Du Lan.
It had been more than three months since the last time he came to see Yang Guo. When he came to Jiangnan again, he found that Yang Kang was already sick. In ancient times, even a cold was a matter of life and death. Yang Kang's illness consumed the last money he brought from the Liao Kingdom and could not be cured.
In the end, he died and was buried with Yang Guo's mother who had a difficult childbirth.
"Master, I want to learn medicine." Yang Guo hated doctors during this period. Those quacks couldn't cure diseases at all. They killed his father.
"Okay." Although learning medicine couldn't save the people of Southern Song, Yang Guo could learn whatever he wanted. He had lost Xiaolongnu forever, and Du Lan could only compensate him in other ways: "Your master is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and learning medicine is simply child's play." "It's just that your father has always wanted you to restore the country, and learning medicine is not a good way."
"I don't want to restore the country. The Liao Kingdom is too far away from me. I just want to take good care of the people around me." Yang Guo was really sensitive since he was a child. He remembered who was good to him. The people he wanted to repay were his father and master, not the Liao Kingdom. Unfortunately, now that his father is dead, Yang Guo only has to repay his master.
Under Du Lan's teachings, Yang Guo instantly entered a colorful medical world. In a few years, he has learned a lot of things and has become a famous little doctor in the local area.
Treating illnesses and saving lives is the best way to improve experience. Duran likes practical teaching, allowing Yang Guo to see different diseases, and also letting Yang Guo know that doctors are not gods and cannot save everyone, but as long as they have medical ethics, they can save many people.
In a blink of an eye, Yang Guo is also fourteen years old, and still has not met Guo Jing's family. Duran knows that he must do something to keep the plot going.
So Duran arranged for Yang to go to Xiangyang to treat local residents for free, and he should meet Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family.
