[Double person] Furongpu · Yanshuangfei (rewritten by the gods)

Five years later

The strong wind raged in the city, howling and cutting through the dark sky, and the cold wind dyed the Wudongdong courtyard with a layer of humiliation and hatred.

The glowing candlelight danced in Guo's study room, and the Mianjia heart mirror shone with a faint cold light under the candlelight, and the condensed breath flowed in the room.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, what exactly does Lu Wende want to do? How can he let the Tartars set up a dispute outside the city, which is tantamount to luring wolves into the house!" Yang Guo frowned, leaned forward and sat in the chair, his eyes couldn't hide his anxiety.As soon as these words came out, the other four people in the room fell silent.

After a long while, Guo Jing looked around his wife and children with piercing eyes, and his steady voice revealed a heavy heart, "Guo'er and Fu'er will first find a way to arrange the three children. Xiangyang has the advantage of the terrain and will not fall, but the dolls are young. , have you two decided who to entrust?"

Guo Fu bit her lower lip tightly and said nothing, the sad look on her face was heart-wrenching, Yang Guo stretched out his hand to hold her icy slender fingers, warm heat wrapped her around her, looked at his wife with firm and warm eyes, and touched her warmly. Seeing the misery and reluctance in her heart.

"Father-in-law, I discussed with Fu'er. I wanted to send the children to Mount Zhongnan, but there..." He paused for a while, the husband and wife had already arranged the children's affairs, and they were afraid that their aunt would not be able to handle it. Three children, the best thing to do is to temporarily place the children in Nuershan, "I'm just afraid that my aunt will not be able to handle the three children, so we want to entrust the children to Eunuch Fan first, and Song'er and Xiaotao are adults who are full of energy to take care of the children. "

Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other, and nodded at their daughter and son-in-law, "Since you've made up your mind, make a plan early and send the dolls there as soon as possible." After speaking, he turned his head to one side, tears flashed in his eyes, and his heart was full of reluctance However, his young grandson is the most worrying thing for him.

Huang Rong lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her shoulders trembled slightly, revealing the waves in her heart.The room fell silent again. After a while, she calmed down and looked at her son, "Polu, you can also entrust Binger to Eunuch Fan. This child has always been weak and weak."

"Mother, she won't leave." Polu's eyes were burning, he knew Bing'er's affection for him, she would not abandon him and leave. "Father and mother, Bing'er and I swear to defend the city just like elder sister and brother-in-law."

"Polu! The sword will be cast in a few days. Your task is heavier than defending the city." Yang Guo frowned. He knew Polu's temperament. Forging swords can also be regarded as a policy of mutual protection, people are protecting each other with swords.

"Don't talk about brother-in-law, you and eldest sister can also guard the precious sword, I have made up my mind and no one can persuade me."

Guo Fu, who was sitting quietly by the side, finally spoke, "Polu, Bing'er is two months pregnant, do you know? Although it is a righteous act to be heroic and solemn, retreating can also be a benevolent one. It may not help the matter, but it has become a meaningless sacrifice. The most sad thing is that the spirit and blood are extinct in the world. The wild fire is endless, and it is more important to stay rooted and reborn, to keep my Song Dynasty alive."

"I understand what Eldest Sister means, but Eldest Sister is determined to die, why can't I?"

Guo Fu looked at Polu's livid face, her younger brother's persistence was just like her father's, and the Guo family understood righteousness and general principles. She continued with a faint smile, "It is not necessary to die to serve the country. Let your parents guard the city, don't shout about death every day, it's unlucky."

"Don't even talk about it. After the sword is cast, the decision will be made. The sword will be given to Xiang'er, and the Polu will protect the sword. Only Guoer and Fuer know the mystery of the sword, so you all live well for me and train more A good student is better than anything else." Guo Jing got up and looked at the children around him with unfathomable eyes, he waved his hand to signal the end of tonight's conversation.He has guarded the town of Bianlong for decades, but now he is living on his last breath. Liu Zheng defected to the enemy, and Lu Wende is Jia Sidao's confidant. Every confrontation between the Song army and the enemy army was quite useless.He raised his hand and stroked his forehead, feeling helpless and sad in his heart.

Seeing Guo Jing get up, the children also stood up, thinking about their own thoughts.

"You all go back, stay for a while." Guo Jing waved to Huang Rong, telling her to take the children out first.

Huang Rong took a deep look at her husband. She knew that Brother Jing would tell Guo'er about his funeral. Although she didn't know how to arrange it, Guo'er and Fu'er were the only ones who could support the family.

After everyone went out, Guo Jing looked at Yang Guo slumped in the chair, his former majesty no longer, like a helpless old man, he gently raised his trembling arms towards Yang Guo.

Yang Guo stepped forward to support his father-in-law in time, and felt that his father-in-law was getting old for the first time, "What arrangements do you have for old age?"

"Guer, this family will be handed over to you in the future. Take good care of Fuer and the children. I have no power to send Polu and Fuer away, and they will accompany me to the point of life and death. Parents always have selfish intentions. Lianer, Qi Er and Chuner are young and must live without parents, you are someone who has been here and knows the misery of orphans, so you must protect their mother and child."

"father in law……"

Guo Jing paused for a while, then shook his head at Yang Guo and continued, "Guoer, you are the only one in the family who is flexible and has always treated you and me as our own. Although a good man dies in battle, inheritance is also very important. I and Your mother will defend the city with all her strength for decades, and Lu Wende has been in the officialdom for many years to manage the family power. I don’t think this person can be trusted. Once Lu Wende surrenders, you must take Fu’er to retreat completely and lie dormant until the spring.”

"Father! Your mother and I have been benevolent and righteous for decades, and now we should protect ourselves." Yang Guo knelt down holding Guo Jing's hand, and shed two lines of tears, but he knew in his heart that it would be useless to talk too much.

"Guo'er, we will be satisfied if you can fulfill your parents' wishes. Xiangyang and I have become one body, and we will live and die together." Guo Jing gently raised his arm to support Yang Guo, "I have explained everything I need to say, don't let Fu'er I know, send the three children away tomorrow."

Yang Guo knelt down and couldn't help but suddenly realized that his father was arranging the funeral tonight, he was aware of the cruelty and tragedy on the battlefield, and his father was alerting himself to keep the spirit of Guo and Yang's family passed down from generation to generation.With pain in my heart, tears streaming down my face, "Daddy..."

"Good boy, get up, it's no regret to have you children with you for the rest of your life. You are the pride of your parents, even if you are under Jiuquan, you are worthy of your ancestors." Guo Jing stood up and helped his son-in-law who was kneeling on the ground , holding his hand tightly, as if to pass all expectations and strength to him.

It was these hands that held him firmly decades ago and led him up to Mount Zhongnan.Although he took a detour when he was young, these hands are invisible pulling him all the time, leading him to the bright road.

"Don't say anything in the future. You are a clear child. If you were me, I would make the same choice. You and Fu'er have the shadows of me and your mother. Parents' wishes are enough. Take good care of you. things." He took Yang Guo's hand and walked out of the house, heaving a long breath, he has no regrets in this life to have children like this.

"Guo'er was lonely when he was a child, and he met his parents in peace. He was loving and caring, and Guo will live up to his trust."

Yang Guo walked back home with heavy steps.

Under the dim candlelight, Guo Fu was sitting in front of the bed and arranging the children's clothes. Seeing Yang Guo coming back, she got up and went forward, "Brother Yang?"

"Fu'er, send the children to Eunuch Fan for a temporary stay tomorrow." He hugged his wife tightly to suppress the reluctance in his heart. They both understood the cruelty of the battlefield, and neither of them wanted to talk about it. Countless nights Immersed in each other's arms to comfort each other, "Parents' last will..."

"Brother Yang, I understand. I know the wishes of my parents. Swords and swords cannot fall into the hands of rebels. We must guard the secrets and wait for the Ming Lord. But war is cruel. There is no retreat or worries on the real battlefield. Only with a passion, I No guarantees can be made."

"I understand Fu'er's heart, and what you think is also mine. A few days ago, I sent a message to Chen Hai, Shangguan, and Yusuo, asking them to be friends. Chun'er was brought back to Sichuan by Yusuo to inherit the mantle of the ghost mother-in-law." .”

Embracing each other by the window and listening to each other's heartbeat, all words seemed so pale.Fingers clasped together, we grow old together.What was once a good wish has become a luxury in this life, and the misty longing only hopes that the wish will be born in the future.

A few months later, Guo Xiang received news from her family asking her to return quickly.After returning home, I found out that my parents had recast Yang Guo's Xuantie Sword and Eldest Sister's Gentleman and Lady Sword, and gave each sword and sword to her and Polu respectively.I want to ask Yang Guo for clarification, but unfortunately Yang Guo is not in the city.I can't figure out the meaning of the sword, and I can't figure out the thoughts of my parents.

"Xiang'er, the sword was made by your elder brother. It is extremely sharp. If there is nothing to cut, you should cherish it. The sword contains the souls of your parents. From now on, Xiang'er and the sword will become one and inseparable." Guo Fu She took out the Yitian Sword from the box and solemnly handed it to the girl, she didn't want to say more, the less Xiang'er knew about the whole story, the safer it was, it was the best choice for the girl to be a wandering cloud wild crane.

"Eldest sister, you don't have to bow your eyebrows and flatter me, I will never forgive you for taking love away." Guo Xiang held the Yitian sword in her arms and smiled coldly, "My heart is still alive."

Guo Fu frowned slightly and didn't answer, now that she couldn't care less about easing the relationship with her sister, just hate as long as she hated, and left Xiangyang with resentment, as long as she never comes back, let her do everything.

Guo Fu's mind was all on the battle in Xiangyang. The tug-of-war that lasted for several years became more and more urgent. The reinforcement Zhang Shijie lost to Liu Zheng's capable navy and was forced to retreat after the confrontation between Han and Shui.Yang went to meet Xiagui in Sichuan, and prepared food and grass to reinforce Xiangyang again. It has been dozens of days, but he has no news at all. Many parts of the Han River have been controlled by the Mongolian army.

Guo Xiang stayed at home for a few days, and left the home that bored her again with her parents' instructions. She didn't wait to see Yang Guo, didn't hear the explanation from her elder sister, and had no hope of falling in love. She left alone depressed.

Half a year later, the Mongolian army had built countless forts around Pancheng, and built a long wall on the south and west sides of Xiangcheng. The fortresses were connected to form several barriers. In the water army, Mongolian general Ashu led his troops to stare at the northeast and southeast.Xiangyang was completely cut off from the outside world, and an isolated city was in danger under the siege of the Mongolian army.

Yang Guo tried to break out of the encirclement many times to receive reinforcements, food and grass, but failed to open a channel every time. Most of the aid battles ended in failure. Now Xiangyang and Pancheng, which are interdependent, only have the advantage of the dangerous terrain, and the court is no longer able to save the crisis. .

A few months later, the Mongolian army rushed to attack Fancheng and cut off the road between Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Xiangfan's lips and teeth are gradually disappearing, and the lips have lost their teeth and are about to die.Under the flames of war, only the isolated city of Xiangyang was left swaying in the wind and rain.Lu Wende died of a sudden illness. Lu Wenhuan appealed to the court for emergency many times, but to no avail.

The setting sun was like blood. Guo Jing and Huang Rong stood side by side on the city wall. They confronted the enemy for several days. The fortresses and fortresses here are built in succession.Fortunately, brothers Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui led their troops to come to reinforce them. Although a few thousand versus a hundred thousand is the strength of ants, the morale of the officers and soldiers in Xiangcheng was revived because of the enthusiasm and loyalty of the reinforcements.

The fleet of the Zhang brothers roared in and started a fierce battle with the enemy. They fought desperately forward so that the Mongolian army did not dare to attack, and the crisis in Xiangyang eased a little.

"Brother Jing, is Zhang Gui's plan feasible? I've been panicking for the past few days. If the army's morale is not stable, it's hard to kill." Huang Rong looked worried, and tightly held her husband's hand, but the cold fingertips revealed a firm look. determination.

"North and south attack, this is the only way out. Zhang Gui is brave and cunning. Although this plan is difficult, there is still a chance of success." Guo Jing sighed quietly. Although he was comforting his wife, he was also worried. , is deplorable."

"Father, mother." Yang Guo and Guo Fu climbed up to the top of the wall and came to their parents. They saluted their parents and separated to the left and right, looking out of the city, "Today the enemy army has not moved, I am afraid that Zhang Gui's attack will be blocked. "

Guo Jing's complexion was gloomy when he heard Yang Guo's doubts, he turned his head to look at the meeting hall, at this time Lu Wenhuan was studying the topographic map of Zhang Gui's north-south attack, tomorrow is the deadline for the agreement, but he has not heard of Zhang Gui's news for a long time, his heart was in vain A sense of foreboding arose.Immediately turned around and walked towards the meeting hall with his wife and children.

Guo Fu looked gloomy, and subconsciously grabbed Yang Guo's hand and squeezed it tightly. She has guarded Xiangyang for nearly [-] years, and the surrounding plants and trees have been integrated into her life, even more important than her own life. This is a military fortress with great military exploits. It once made it difficult for two generations of Mongolian Khans to walk. Wokuotai, Mengge, and Aso Army were defeated here. The iron-walled city made the Mongols discouraged. The world-famous Mongolian cavalry tasted it here. The taste of defeat.But now that the barrier city is finally showing its status as a dragon bell, is it possible that the city will also grow old?

"Fu'er, Xiangyang is not so easy to be breached." Yang Guo felt Guo Fu's worry, and comforted her, "The men in the land of Jingchu are not so easy to be defeated. After decades of wind and rain, we have never Never surrendered."

"Brother Yang, I'm worried about Zhang Shun. People's hearts are unpredictable. General Zhang's team is a mixed bag. Most of them come from ordinary people. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..., alas—I'm always restless today."

"Don't worry, the Zhang brothers' military discipline is very strict, and no one will betray them."

"All the people in the city are soldiers. Every family is father and son soldiers. Brothers go forward and brothers fight back. The whole city is ready to resist. The men in the land of Jingchu are like inexhaustible weeds, and each crop is more prosperous. Now it is a belief, Fight with hope." Mo pupils shone like stars like jade, closely following Yang Guo, feeling the strength and belief he brought her.

Yang Guo squeezed her hand reassuringly, and followed Guo Jing into the conference hall, his heart was clear, Zhang Shun's breakout was a hopeless gamble, Xiangyang's defense line was being eaten away by the Mongols, and the Han army who defected to the enemy was far away. Far more than the conservative soldiers, the Han people understand the Han people better.Having been in charge of receiving reinforcements for several years, I know better than anyone else that the military letters that the imperial court has repeatedly urgently asked for are like stones and seas. I am afraid that the emperor has forgotten the city of Xiangyang, and it is at stake to fight alone.Thinking of this, he subconsciously let out a long sigh, Meifeng frowned and looked at several worried faces in the room.

It was late at night, and the strong wind whizzed across the main city of Xiangyang, and the strong wind circled in the urn like a whine, and the thick night wrapped the entire city almost suffocating.Huang Rong's calm voice came from the meeting hall. She was talking about the offensive and defensive formations in detail with the generals. Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, and then the door was knocked open, and a soldier broke in.

"Commander, it's not good. A traitor has appeared in General Zhang's army. The Mongolian army saw through the plan to break out of the encirclement. The sneak attack was changed to an open attack. Our army fought the enemy in the middle of the river. The life and death of General Zhang Gui is uncertain..." The announcement The soldiers hurriedly reported the unexpected change, and at the end they were so sad that they couldn't continue.

Lu Wenhuan was shocked when he heard the change, and Zhang Gui's plan to go to Yingzhou and Fan Wenhu's Longweizhou to attack the enemy was shattered.The only life-saving herb was also wiped out by the enemy, and the last hope turned into despair. He slumped in the chair, his eyes were numb, and his trembling lips sighed in despair, "God beat me!"

"We don't have time. Tomorrow we have to fight to the death with the enemy. General Lu immediately arranged the tactics to meet the enemy. The ever-changing battlefield is more rewarding. Less strategy is less rewarding. Kublai Khan is not Meng Ge, he has more Brain." Guo Jing was also terrified when he heard the news. He calmly and immediately deployed an emergency plan, "After a while, how many days do we have enough food and grass?"

"At most two days, all the roads will be cut off, we will not be able to fight, and the reinforcements will not be able to attack." Yang Guoda made a calculation, worried, "It is important to stabilize the morale of the army now. The people in Xiangyang do not expect war, but And never feared war."

Huang Rong tugged at Guo Fu and gave her daughter a wink, Guo Fu nodded understandingly and turned to look for Polu.She knew that Xiangyang was at the end of its strength, and it was time to send her brother away.

"Polu, father told you to bring the knife back to Peach Blossom Island, and leave tonight." Guo Fu found her younger brother in the barracks, she pulled Polu aside, and pulled him from her arms.

"Eldest sister, how could I leave Xiangyang and leave alone? I won't leave! Eldest sister has always been loyal and courageous, and I don't even bother to be a deserter like a rat."

"Polu, the dragon-slaying knife is like the life of your parents. You have to protect the precious knife with your life. This is a military order that cannot be violated. You should go home and clean up. Go out from the south of the city overnight. Xiangyang is sealed off by the enemy, so be careful. "Guo Fu looked solemn, her voice was quiet but stern, she took out a pair of jade pendants from her bosom and handed them to her younger brother, "This was given to her by your mother when you and Bing'er got married. Give it to Yusuo, if you have a chance in the future, you should give it to Yusuo yourself."

Polu looked at the jade pendant handed over by his elder sister, with a sad expression on his face. He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and felt infinite pain in his heart. It is to fulfill one's duty.The turbulent war for the past six months caused Binger to spend every day in fear and anxiety. Her mood swings made her fetal appearance unstable.It wasn't until she passed away in pain that I realized how sorry I was for her in this life.

Guo Fu knew the pain in her brother's heart, she patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "This man is gone, life is like this. These are the last words Binger said before leaving, live well and don't disappoint Binger's affection for you Let's go, don't disappoint your parents' wishes."

Polu lowered his head in thought, and after a while he realized that it would be useless to argue with the elder sister, so he gritted his teeth and saluted deeply, "Eldest sister, parents will entrust you and brother-in-law, I will go." Turning around, he jumped into the night lightly, and his figure gradually disappeared not see.
