The next day, the two came to the Dutong Mansion to meet Wang Jian. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the topic turned to the Mongolian army that had been attacking the city for days.

"In recent months, there have been continuous fierce attacks, but they were all repelled by our army. The army and the people in the city are united and indestructible. The hateful thing is that after the Mongolian army entered Sichuan, they first occupied Chengdu, and Yang Dayuan, Zhang Dayue, Jin Guobao and others left the city to surrender one after another. Those who are afraid of death wish to be killed immediately." Wang Jian's brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were full of power. "It's just that the weather is cold, and the soldiers and civilians are most afraid of being invaded by external evils and wind and cold."

"General Wang, I can relieve your worries. The general's troops are diligent in training, and the officers and soldiers should have no problem with their cold resistance. They can just adjust their diet a little. You can drink ginger and jujube soup in the morning, which has the effect of expelling cold and evil. Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Fangfeng decoction, given to soldiers and civilians, can keep "righteousness inside, and evil cannot be done." It is like forming a barrier on the surface of the human body. Keep away evil spirits. One month is a course of treatment." Guo Fu thought to herself, this place is cold and damp, and evil spirits are in full swing, if there are no preventive measures, it will be no small matter if you really catch the wind and cold.

"What Madam Yang said is true, but I don't know if I can trouble Madam to preside over this matter." Wang Jian knew that Guo Fu was proficient in medical science, if he asked her for help, it would surely prevent the epidemic from raging in the city.

"General Wang is very polite. If you can do your best, the little girl will be honored."

"General Wang, Diaoyu City is heavily fortified, and the officers and soldiers have rich experience in on-the-spot combat. In the early stage, I saw you training troops. It’s strange that brother didn’t take any losses to attack this city. I think he’s betting with you that he hasn’t done much in recent days, or he wants to change his mind. Will he find someone to persuade him to make peace?” Yang Guo After pondering for a while, it was strange that the Mongolian army hadn’t made any big moves as the New Year’s Eve was approaching. I thought in my heart: persuading peace is their usual tactic, maybe they lost patience and sent envoys to come if they couldn’t attack for a long time.

"Hero Yang may be worried about something. The year is approaching and he still hasn't retreated. The war is for food and grass. I don't think it is a problem because there is enough food in my city. Hmph, they are hungry and cold. There may be big movements in the near future."

"We still have the god arm bow. Once formed into a crossbow array, we can form a section of firepower. The cavalry often adopt flanking tactics. Strictly speaking, our heavy armored infantry has a great advantage in tactical confrontation. The enemy's cavalry is fast. There is a slight advantage in strategic maneuvering. Therefore, if we really confront head-on, our chances of winning are great. Frontal confrontation is the worst policy. Liu Bang said, 'I would rather fight wits than fight strength.'”

"Haha, Hero Yang hit the nail on the head." Wang Jian was overjoyed, and decided to keep them for lunch when it was too late.

"You're welcome, General Wang. I'll go to the pharmacy first and distribute the Chinese medicine to the army in time. The victory is already in sight, so worry about not having the opportunity to entertain everyone in the future." Guo Fu smiled and declined Wang Jian's kindness.

The two came to the medicine store in the city hand in hand. Guo Fu explained the purpose of their visit. The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and enthusiastically took Guo Fu to check the medicinal materials and divided them according to the dosage. "Don't worry, madam, we will definitely cooperate. They are definitely the best medicinal materials."

Yang Guo accompanied Guo Fu all afternoon, distributing decoctions and medicines in fixed portions, staying close at all times.

"Brother Yang, why don't you say that Brother Meng didn't withdraw? He has no chance of winning in this kind of weather."

"It's been more than 50 days, and he has never suffered a loss. He has attacked all the way, and most of the defenders in the mountain cities he passed have surrendered, but the Diaoyu City has repeatedly frustrated him. Think about it, a person who thinks he is invincible. A strong opponent is naturally excited and not reconciled, and will continue to lead troops to attack the city and die here." Back home in the evening, Yang Guo carefully analyzed Meng Ge's psychology with Guo Fu.

"I found that your mind is always clear. Naturally?" Guo Fu squinted at him with almond eyes.

"I, as long as I meet you, I won't be sober." He made a pun, knowing that Guo Fu would not understand the meaning of the second level, but he just liked her confused look. "Fu'er, don't you think our personalities complement each other perfectly?"

"You mean, you're smart and I'm stupid?"

"Silly girl, I mean, you are straightforward and persistent. You are just right for me." He chuckled and pinched her pretty nose, "Eat at home or go out tonight? Are you cooking or me? "

"I don't want to move. I'll cook. You probably only know how to make porridge." She wrinkled her nose, "Today, keep it simple. I'll make two bowls of shredded chicken noodle soup. Wait for me." Then she turned around Get into the kitchen.

Yang Guo followed behind her, "I'll help you."

Guo Fu followed him with a smile, rolled up his sleeves and quickly processed the chicken breast, marinated it with seasoning for later use, then turned around and kneaded the noodles, rolled the egg noodles into rectangular slices with a thickness of 1 cent, folded them up, and cut them into shredded noodles with a top knife .After a while, two bowls of delicious chicken shredded noodles were brought to Yang Guo. The noodles were soft and smooth, the soup was bright yellow, and the chicken was tender.

"Fu'er, I finally know what it means to survive a catastrophe without dying."

"What are you talking about, I can't stop this nonsense if I cook it for you every day. I suddenly thought, who do you think will be the messenger to persuade you?"

"I can't guess this, Meng Ge's deputy? Those who surrendered? It's hard to say. I wanted to go to investigate at night, but General Wang said it was unnecessary, and they were already in a weak position. It's the twelfth lunar month, so I guess In the past few days, someone must come to persuade you to surrender." He buried his head in the tempting noodle soup, and the wind swept through the clouds, and the bowl was empty in a while, and he sighed contentedly: "It smells so good, Fu'er is so skillful, eating the rice you cooked is delicious. Addicted."

"Are you full?" Guo Fu pushed the half-eaten noodle bowl to him, "I can't eat anymore, please help me."

"No, you should eat more. Be good, eat quickly! Otherwise, I will feed you."

"No! I can't eat anymore. You don't know how much I eat." Guo Fu didn't wait for him to reach out, then picked up the bowl, picked up the noodles and fed it to his mouth, and said charmingly: "Hey, eat quickly!"

Yang Guo didn't take the bowl either, he let her feed it to his mouth one by one, enjoying the warmth and sweetness.

"You don't have hands, can you eat by yourself!" Guo Fu saw that he was not moving, with a smirk of enjoyment on her face, she let herself feed him mouthful by mouthful.She pouted unhappily, "Forget about being lazy."

"Hee hee, I find it tastes better to eat noodles this way, and it tastes sweeter." He looked at Guo Fu with a smirk on his face.

"Hmph, eat by yourself. I'm going back to my room to rest. Remember to rinse the bowl." She stuffed the bowl into his hand and got up to leave.

"Fu'er, don't go, stay with me for a while, you just sit here. If you don't accompany me, you will suffer from indigestion." He put away his smile and looked at Guo Fu with aggrieved eyes.

Guo Fu looked at him, and laughed out loud for a while, "Yang Guo, your face has changed so quickly, I didn't realize that you can act like a baby." She sat down beside him, "Eat well, I'll accompany you."

Outside the city, the mist floated in the mountains, the cold and damp air flowed freely, the cold wind blew past like the tip of a knife across the skin, and the bone-piercing coldness surrounded the earth.

Meng Ge stood alone on the watchtower and peeked at Diaoyu City. Diaoyu Mountain faced water on three sides, and the cliffs were more than ten feet high.The continuous onslaught against him for several days was repelled. Remembering that when he first came here, he declared that Diaoyu City would be flattened within one month!Now that I think about it, I will become a laughing stock.He is conceited and arrogant.Excessive self-confidence made him more and more arrogant.

Yeluqi suggested to him the day before yesterday that he suggested that a small number of troops should be kept here and the main force should go to join other troops. He didn't reply because he was not reconciled.He is used to winning and does not allow defeat.Someone else proposed today that they should continue to storm the Diaoyu City. This proposal catered to their own wishes.It took several months of time and effort here, and the army suffered heavy losses. My own Mongolian iron cavalry is fierce and powerful, and it is unstoppable to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.Thinking of this, a raging fire ignited in the center of my eyes, and I will not give up.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, why not try to persuade him to surrender?Siege the city all the way to recruit and surrender many Song generals, this method may be feasible.

That night he summoned all the surrendered generals in his tent, "Who can persuade Wang Jian to surrender, he will be promoted to three ranks, a thousand taels of gold will be rewarded, and a hundred horses will be rewarded."

As soon as the conditions are set out, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward.Jin Guobao, who was standing below, smiled slightly. He thought to himself: He and Wang Jian are from the same hometown, and they used to be both generals in Meng Gong's army, so they didn't get along well.If I go, he will at least want to see some face. This kind of opportunity to make meritorious service must not be let others take the lead.Thinking of this, he took a step forward, "God Khan, I would like to go to persuade you to surrender. Wang Jian and I are from the same township, and we were both under Meng Gong's subordinates. We have a close relationship. Just ask the Great Khan to clearly state the conditions for surrender. The last general will be able to move forward." Go and surrender."

As soon as Meng Ge offered the conditions, he heard that someone volunteered to go, and he was overjoyed, "It's very good that General Jin can take on this important task. As for the conditions, you can meet with the cities along the way, or you can let him say it yourself. There will be no discount, and he will definitely agree. that is."

"Tian Khan, you are generous and cherish your talents. I think Wang Jian will surrender."

"General Jin will leave tomorrow. I hope the general's flag will arrive. I will wait for the good news here."

Before dawn the next day, Jin Guobao hurried to Diaoyu City, presenting a letter begging to see Wang Jian.

At this moment, Wang Jian and Yang Guo were talking, and when they heard that Jin Guobao asked to see him, he became suspicious, "Hero Yang, as you expected, they seem to be unable to survive." Thing! Come, someone, put a sling and take him into the city. I'll see what he can do."

After a while, under the guidance of the defenders, Jin Guobao came to Wang Jian, "General Wang, you are safe here." He thought he had a little friendship with Wang Jian, so his words were less polite.

"Hmph, you came here today, and I have really seen what is thicker than my city wall." Wang Jian looked at him contemptuously, hating him so much in his heart, the brazen and treacherous traitor, he will be punished today, to show others .

"General Wang, most of the cities in the Shu region have surrendered, only a few cities in the south, such as Hezhou and Chongqing, are here today on the orders of Mengge Khan. The glory is endless. Why bother to support it, if the city is destroyed, it will be too late." Jin Guobao immediately explained his intention after exchanging greetings.

"I have heard about General Jin's name for a long time, and when we meet today, I know that the rumors are true. The general is ignorant of current affairs, and attacked the Song Dynasty with an egg. You know that this is an act that cannot be tolerated." Yang Guo moved the corner of his mouth mockingly, and squinted at Jin. national treasure.

"This young master is not a soldier in the city, why is there any need to talk about it here?" Jin Guobao saw an extraordinary man standing next to Wang Jian, he was definitely not a soldier in the city, he exuded the elegant demeanor of a noble son , with a little evil and arrogance.Think about whose son it is.

"With the world in mind, for the sake of the country and the people, I will punish the thieves who commit crimes. All the people of the Song Dynasty are like this. How can there be no name? The general has no eyes and no pearls, and abandoning the light and turning to the dark is an act of immorality." Yang Guo urged each other.

"The number of days has changed, and I belong to the virtuous master. This is a natural reason. Today's persuasion is an act of kindness with the world in mind. If General Wang Jian opens the city and goes to Mongolia, the suffering of the common people will be saved." Jin Guobao Feeling uneasy, it seems that there is no chance of winning today's recruitment, so let's first think about how to survive without retreating.

"Hmph, the Tartars covet the Great Song Dynasty, and want to dominate our Central Plains, massacre the city and plunder the land. How dare you call such a virtuous person? How dare the light of grass fireflies be brighter than the sun and the moon?" Yang Guo angrily said With a cold look in his eyes, he thought to himself: This person has acted despicably and shamelessly.The ungrateful person is really hateful.

"Hmph, you and I were ministers in the same court, and we served General Meng Gong together. Today, when we came to the front of the battle, facing the guards, I thought you must have high opinions, but I didn't expect you to say such shameless and despicable words! It's worth it! When the country is in crisis, what do you do? Once you became an official with a filial piety and honesty, you should be able to assist the country, secure our Song Dynasty, and rejuvenate our Han people, but now you are helping the rebels and conspiring to invade. The crime is serious and the world will not tolerate it!" Wang Jian laughed wildly. After several beeps, the tiger's eyes were so powerful that Jin Guobao Wang was intimidated, and he dared not look directly.

At this moment, Jin Guobao was dripping with cold sweat, and his body was shaking unceasingly.

"General Wang, above the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and the beasts eat the salary. This wolf-hearted man turned the mountains and rivers into hills and ruins in the Song Dynasty, and the common people suffered a lot. He must be killed to relieve the hatred in his heart!" Guo Fuli Yu was already filled with resentment, his red lips were tightly pursed and he raised his sword and stepped forward.Yang Guo was afraid that she would act recklessly, so he stretched out his hand to grab her, shook his head slightly at her, and signaled not to act rashly.

"When the two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy. General Wang, don't mess around. You should protect me and retreat." Jin Guobao tremblingly wiped his sweat with his hands, trembling in his heart, it was so dangerous, so dangerous.

Wang Jian snorted contemptuously, "Come here, throw this greedy Tartar dog out of the city!"

Several Wei soldiers grabbed Jin Guobao's hand, dragged him and threw him into the sling. With a bang, the sling fell to the ground, throwing him blindingly.

"Did you throw it down?" Wang Jian narrowed his eyes with a dignified expression.

"Back to the general, I have already thrown down the city wall, and the fall was not light." The lieutenant beside him immediately reported the situation to Wang Jian.

"General Wang, do you really want to let him go?" Yang Guo looked at Wang Jian with doubts in his heart. He knew that Wang Jian hated these traitors so much that he couldn't let him go easily.

"Hmph, if the two armies fight, they don't kill the envoy, but if I catch him again, he won't be the envoy." Wang Jian sneered with his hands behind his back.

"The general is really thoughtful, I'll rob him and bring him back." Yang Guo smiled at Wang Jian, admiring him.

"Here is Hero Yang, I will send someone to rob him." Wang Jian laughed loudly, "I am a traitor, let me kill him as an example to future generations."

"General Wang, let him go, he will go faster." Guo Fu smiled lightly and sighed in her heart, fortunately she did not act recklessly just now.

Yang Guo nodded at Wang Jian, tapped his toes to the ground, jumped out of the city wall, and landed in the air in an instant. He ran fast and caught up with Jin Guobao who was fleeing. He flew up and reached out to grab Jin Guobao's clothes. Collar, thrown back.

Jin Guobao was suddenly picked up and thrown backwards, he didn't see who came, he was already sitting on the ground, Yang Guo stepped forward to tie his hands, grabbed him and returned to the city.

The terrified Jin Guobao was thrown in front of Wang Jian by Yang Guo. He was about to stand up tremblingly, but suddenly felt pain in his knees, and he cried out in pain and could no longer stand up. "General Wang, you, you can't treat me like this, you must abide by the envoy's etiquette." His voice was trembling, and his expression was terrified.

"Shut up! Shameless traitor, you are not here as an envoy now, you are the traitor we have recovered, what etiquette are you talking about with traitors? Don't you know that everyone in the world is willing to eat your flesh alive, and dare to talk here! Go for food and clothing! , hide your head and shrink your head, and dare to come here to talk about the number of days, I will punish you today, and use your head to sacrifice the flag. Your life is under the underworld, what face do you have to see the late emperor?" Wang Jian opened his eyes wide and stood angrily. When he got up, he yelled at him when he was angry. "Come on, drag it out, cut it off!"

After Jin Guobao was executed, Wang Jian frowned, "These spineless traitors, I hate them so much!"

"General Wang, I'm afraid Brother Meng will do something crazy next time. People who lose their minds also lose their IQ and patience." Yang Guo looked out of the city. He knew that Diaoyu City would usher in a big battle. Killing, this is a humiliation to Meng Ge, which will lead to his ultimate madness. "The city guards need to re-defense."

Wang Jian made it clear, "We are playing a defensive counterattack. Although the loss is not small, we will not lose. I am afraid that he is not crazy. If he becomes crazy, he will be defeated more easily."

"For all warriors, use righteousness and surprise to win. Normal law is right, and reform is strange. I found that there is no problem in defending and restraining the enemy in the city, but the mobile assault is weaker. Detours and sneak attacks are surprising, and the enemy is unprepared and weak. place." Yang Guo explained his opinion in detail, "I can go out of the city and sneak attack behind the enemy, does the general think this method is feasible?"

"Hero Yang's martial arts are world-class. I didn't expect to be familiar with military books. I admire him. This plan is very clever."

Wang Jian summoned the generals to discuss the tactics of preparing for war in the army, and they did not disperse until sunset on the western mountain, and each returned to the camp.

Yang Guo and Guo Fu returned to the residence hand in hand, "Brother Yang, I didn't expect you to study military art." Guo Fu's almond eyes were shining brightly, and her small face was full of admiration.

"Hehe, no way. I learned it from Aunt Guo recently, I dare not say I studied it, I only have a half-knowledge." Yang Guo felt ashamed, and learned a lot of practical combat methods after following Aunt Guo for a few days.But I was angry that I was impatient when I was young, and I refused to study hard with Aunt Guo, but misunderstood Aunt Guo's intentions. "I was young and ignorant, and my time for studying was wasted. If it weren't for Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo's teachings, I don't know how I would have sunk in this life."

"You're so humble today, you've always been conceited in front of me." Guo Fu covered her mouth and smiled, "Both of us were bad-behaved when we were children, and neither of us was worrying. It's good to teach."

"A pair of enemies! Let's start praying, and don't spread out some worry-free dolls in the future." Yang Guo recalled his childhood, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Just talking!" Guo Fu blushed with shame, lowered her head and ignored him, but a shy smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

The two of them had already reached their residence while they were talking. There was a girl squatting in the corner in front of the door. She was sitting by the door with her arms around her knees, her head on her knees, as if she was tired of waiting and fell asleep.
