Start with the gods

Chapter 25
Guo Yu quietly came to the window of the main house in the dark, tapped acupuncture points to subdue the guarding soldiers, and carefully looked towards the gap.

"My lord, we searched the city again, but we still haven't found that person."

I saw a young general in armor reporting to a young man with braids.

"Trash, so many people can't even catch a small job." The man threw his teacup heavily on the ground, looking extremely angry.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. According to the poor monk, that person is probably not a trickster." Suddenly, a voice that Guo Yu will never forget came from behind the man.

"Basaba."

Guo Yu almost cried out, quickly stabilized his figure, and quietly exercised to make his hearing more sensitive.

"Oh, why did the national teacher say that?" This man should be Kublai Khan, the supreme commander of Mongolia here.

"According to what the poor monk has just observed, this person is highly skilled in martial arts, and his actions are extremely absurd."

Ba Siba slowly turned the prayer beads in his hand, "If he guessed correctly, he should be the old urchin Zhou Botong from Quanzhen Sect."

"Zhou Botong?" Kublai Khan raised his voice.

"pretty close."

Ba Siba said slowly: "This person has always been as he pleases, just like a child, he is definitely not a spy sent here, even if we catch him, it is impossible to ask any useful information."

"Besides, his martial arts are rare in the world, no matter how many people are dispatched, they may not be able to catch him successfully."

"Okay, that's what the master said." Kublai Khan turned his head and told the general, "You guys go down, there is no need to hunt down, but you still need to be careful."

"Master is right." Kublai Khan watched his subordinates leave, and then turned to Basiba, "Our real target should be Guo Jing, our Mongolian former son-in-law."

"The fact that we have repeatedly suffered setbacks in attacking Xiangyang over the years is due to this person."

"Well, the poor monk has also heard the rumors about the Golden Sword Consort." Ba Siba stood up slowly, "But the real target of my trip is his eldest son Guo Yu."

"After years of investigation, I finally figured out that Brother Jinlun died at the hands of this person."

"This time I came to the south with the prince, just to get rid of the father and son together and avenge the brother."

"I didn't know there was such a reason." Kublai Khan slapped his chest twice, "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I will do my best to help and take down the Guo family and his son in one fell swoop."

"Ah!" Guo Yu laughed bitterly when he heard it outside the window, "It turns out that everything is his fault."

It was him who killed Jinlun Fawang, which caused the butterfly effect and a series of changes.

"Then master, how do we take Xiangyang?" Kublai Khan asked again.

"The prince is in charge of the formation of troops, and the Guo family father and son are handed over to the poor monk." Ba Siba looked very confident.

"Okay, then let's rest for two days and immediately go south to attack Xiangyang."

Seeing the two people in the room talking to each other, Guo Yu's eyes became colder and colder.

"Hmph, depending on you, it seems that the young master has to prepare a big gift for you."

Stepping quietly, Guo Yu gradually disappeared into the City Lord's Mansion.

After Guo Yu left the mansion, he arrested a few Mongolian soldiers and interrogated them carefully with the method of moving souls, and finally found out where the grain and grass were.

That's right, he was going to burn food.

You came all the way to the enemy's camp, so you can't go back empty-handed, right?
He put on his soldier's uniform, quietly arrived at his destination, found the enemy's treasured wine and gunpowder, and squandered them all on the granary.

Then he took out the prepared fire bag from his waist, lightly threw it on it, turned around and left.

"Go away, go out."

Hearing the shouts from the camp behind him, Guo Yu let out the anger in his mouth.

However, his face was still solemn, because he knew in his heart that the food and grass he burned was only a small part.

To the Mongols, it's just itchy skin, and it doesn't do much harm at all.

In fact, he already has a big plan in mind, if successful, it will definitely deter the enemy greatly.

"Kublai Khan, cherish the only days you have." Guo Yu looked back at the direction of the city lord's palace, and then walked south.

"Huh!" Just as Guo Yu jumped out of the city, he saw an old man in plain clothes looming in the grass.

"Hehe." Guo Yu chuckled, "My friend, are you hiding there playing hide-and-seek?"

"Yes, yes, I was just playing hide and seek." The old urchin jumped out from the grass, "Little brother, do you want to come together?"

"That's not necessary." Guo Yu stared straight at the old naughty boy, "I said Uncle Zhou, you have made quite a splash in Nanyang City."

"Little brother, are you...?" The old urchin can be sure that he has never seen the person in front of him.

"My name is Guo Yu, and my parents are Guo Jing and Huang Rong." Guo Yu explained.

"So it's Xiao Rong'er's child." The old naughty boy came to Guo Yu's side bouncing around, looking here and there, "I've heard about you, why have you grown so big?"

"Uncle Zhou, why did you have a conflict with the Mongols?" Guo Yu answered irrelevantly.

He knew what the old urchin was like, and he didn't want to get entangled in that problem with him.

"Don't mention it, today, during the day, I passed by outside the city and encountered a general who was bullying a child, so I couldn't help but teach him a lesson."

The old naughty boy shook his head and said, "Who knows that he insisted on betting with me that he would play hide-and-seek with me in the city tonight, and whoever is found first will be at the disposal of the other party."

"I didn't expect that I searched all night, but I didn't find any trace of him. Instead, he was found shortly after entering the city, and he chased me for several streets before he escaped."

"Hehe." Guo Yu shook his head and smiled wryly.

The general probably saw that the old naughty boy was strong in martial arts and was invincible, so he found an excuse to get away.

Unexpectedly, the old naughty boy took it seriously. He really had to go to the city alone to find someone to make such a commotion.

"Uncle Zhou, if you go to Xiangyang with me, my parents will be very happy to see you." Guo Yu warmly invited.

Although the old naughty boy is a toss-up, few people can compare to his martial arts, so letting him strike at a critical moment may have a miraculous effect.

"Forget it, forget it, I have to go back and take care of the little bees that Xiaolongnu gave me."

After finishing speaking, the old naughty boy turned somersault lightly and ran towards the distance.

Looking at the old naughty boy's retreating figure, Guo Yu smiled helplessly, cheered up and rushed towards Xiangyang.

……

In the following days, the atmosphere in Xiangyang became more and more solemn. The enemy moved south in large numbers. Almost everyone felt that a disaster was coming.

Xiangyang, Guofu

"Rong'er, have all the arrangements been made for the brothers from the Beggar Clan outside the city?"

Just after dinner, Guo Jing couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, brother Jing, they are veterans with rich experience, nothing will happen to them."

Huang Rong understood Guo Jing's worries. There were more than [-] enemy troops deployed outside the city. It was really too threatening for these Beggar Gang disciples to pry out the news.

But at this moment of crisis, the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are at stake, and they have to be used.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that Kublai Khan would come out in full force this time, bringing all his troops to attack Xiangyang." Guo Jing looked sad.

Perhaps Kublai Khan was stimulated after Guo Yu went out alone that night, and the next day he led nearly 20 troops from Nanyang to Xiangyang.

Now Xiangyang has been surrounded on three sides from the east, west, and north, leaving only the waterway in the south to open up a way out for the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang.

This is a typical siege, not because they are so kind, but because they don't want to cause too many casualties.

At the same time, it can also hit the determination of Xiangyang soldiers and civilians to stick to it, and some people with weak minds will not be able to help but waver.

"Father, are you sure about defending the city this time?" Guo Yu couldn't help asking.

"It's hard to say." Guo Jing struggled, "I really didn't expect that Ba Siba, the new national teacher, would have such a great prestige."

"I observed it from the city during the day. As soon as he appeared, the enemy army seemed to have won a battle. They rejoiced and their morale doubled."

"In the past, no matter how many soldiers the enemy had, I was confident that Xiangyang could be defended, but this time..."

Guo Yu understood Guo Jing's worry.

Ba Siba has been preaching in Mongolia with all his strength these years, and Lamaism has been officially established as the state religion. The teachings are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and both nobles and commoners are very convinced.

Now that he has come to Xiangyang, the enemy suddenly has a common spiritual leader.

It can be said that they are a group of fanatical religious elements at this moment. Let them go east and west, which is more terrifying than any well-trained army.
