"Brother Ke, you have been in the desert for ten years and are familiar with Mongolian affairs. Is what Kang'er said true?" Qiu Chuji asked Ke Zhen'e.
Ke Zhene nodded.
When they first arrived in the desert, Temujin was just the leader of a small tribe. For ten years, he fought endlessly and conquered countless tribes in the desert. He leads his subordinates with strict military discipline and everyone is brave and good at fighting. He was both wise and brave, attacking with strength or outsmarting him, and he was invincible across the northern kingdom.
Even his adopted brother Zhamuhe and his adopted father Wang Han were defeated by him one after another. Such a figure can indeed be called a hero. Once the Jin Kingdom is defeated, it is very likely that he will attack the Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that in the past ten years, they only focused on teaching Guo Jing martial arts and ignored all Mongolian affairs. If he was as smart as Xiang Nan, he should have killed Temujin long ago to avoid the danger of raising tigers.
Even Ma Yu regretted why he didn't slap Temujin to death when he taught Guo Jing internal skills.
"This..." Everyone fell silent immediately.
"Brother Yang Xian, is Temujin really what you said?" Guo Jing asked in disbelief.
He had lived with Temujin for twelve years and did not believe that the other party could be that kind of person.
"Brother Guo, I am the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin. 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 emperor's mentality.
As far as I know, there are many people like Temujin in history. For example, the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun in the Han Dynasty; Songtsen Gampo, the Tubo Zanpu in the Tang Dynasty; Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan Khan of the Five Dynasties, Wanyan Aguda, the founder of the Jin Kingdom...
These people all started from humble beginnings, had great talents and great strategies, were brave and good at fighting, and built their own empires from weak to strong. Their initial dream may be to have enough to eat and not to be beaten.
But as their power grows and their tribes increase, their ambitions will grow stronger. When the time comes, even if he himself does not want to fight, his men will not stop.
Just like the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao rebelled and wore a yellow robe. When people below him point to his support and get promoted and make a fortune, so what if he opposes it? Wasn't he still put on the throne? Xiang Nan explained.
Seeing Xiang Nan using Zhao Kuangyin as an example, everyone found it difficult to refute.
Because historical records indicate that Zhao Kuangyin was indeed forced to do so when Chen Qiao rebelled and wore a yellow robe. Even being an emperor can be forced, so attacking the Song Dynasty is not a problem.
When the time comes, even if Temujin is willing to show mercy, his ministers will not agree.
…
"Then what should we do?" Guo Jing asked doubtfully.
"There is nothing we can do. After the Song Dynasty lost the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, it not only lost the barrier to stop the enemy, but also cut off the road of well-bred horses. Therefore, once foreigners invade, the army can surge down and be unstoppable.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty always advocated civil rule and belittled generals. Famous generals like Di Qing were ostracized by the literati and died in depression; military veterans like Yue Wumu also died under unwarranted charges.
With such an emphasis on civility over martial arts, how can one resist the wolf-like cavalry? I am afraid that Zhuge Wuhou and Wusheng Guan Yu will be reincarnated, so I can only do nothing. After all, even with their ability, they cannot unify China from south to north. Xiang Nan shook his head.
Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but become pale.
"Do we, the Han people, have no choice but to perish as a nation?!" Ke Zhen'e couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Everyone was also sad and worried.
"It's not that there's nothing we can do." Xiang Nan said quickly when he saw this.
"What can I do?" Qiu Chuji asked quickly.
"As far as I know, it is still a tribal system, and Temujin has not established a prince. Therefore, once he dies, the tribes will definitely fall apart and fall into internal fighting. Even his sons will not stop.
At that time, it will be scattered and no longer a hidden danger. "Xiang Nan explained.
"That's a good idea." Qiu Chuji said with eyes shining.
"To assassinate Temujin, Brother Guo is the best candidate." Xiang Nan looked at Guo Jing and said, "He grew up with Temujin, and Temujin was completely unprepared for him. However, humans are not grass, who can do it? Ruthless. After twelve years of upbringing, how can it be said that you can just do it with your hands?"
When Guo Jing saw Xiang Nan say this, his face turned purple.
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 person, even if he knew he would be an enemy in the future, would not be able to attack him now.
"Alas~" Ke Zhen'e, Zhu Cong, Han Baoju and others all sighed after hearing what he said.
Not to mention Guo Jing, even if it were them, it would be difficult to assassinate Temujin.
"Is there no other way?" Wang Chuyi asked again.
"If there was, 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 their master as an example, Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi couldn't help but laugh or cry, feeling that he was too bold.
But what Xiang Nan said is indeed true. It is difficult to make a difference in civil and martial arts like Patriarch Chongyang, so he can only become a monk and practice Taoism. What can they do? !
Therefore, for a while, everyone was depressed.
…
"Actually, uncles, masters, uncles, and seniors of the Seven Heroes, you all should not be pessimistic. Confucius said: When the barbarians and the Di come into China, they will be conquered by the Huaxia;
Tribe, barbarian. When you enter China, you also need to wear my clothes, learn my writing, and teach you my etiquette. Just like the previous tribes such as Quanrong, Baiyue, Sanmiao, Dongyi, Xianbei, and Turks.
Nowadays, they have long been integrated with the Han people, so there is no difference between them. Xiang Nan saw their embarrassed expressions and quickly comforted them, "Besides, as long as we Han people are still bloody, even if the Mongols invade China, they will never make us surrender."
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. "
After hearing what he said, everyone finally became a little angry.
"By the way, Brother Guo, you'd better hurry up and get your aunt out of the desert." Xiang Nan added, "Otherwise, when Temujin goes to war with the Song Dynasty, if you disobey, he will definitely threaten your aunt." .
And your aunt raised you in the bitter cold of the desert. Needless to say, you must have an extremely strong temperament, and you will definitely rather die than give in when the time comes. That's trouble. "
"Ouch~" Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Guo Jing, Jiangnan Seven Monsters, Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and others all exclaimed, thinking that this was very possible.
After all, Temujin was a tyrant who even killed his sworn brother, so he could use Mrs. Guo as a blackmail.
As Xiang Nan said, Mrs. Guo is indeed a persevering and righteous person. Although he doesn't know any martial arts, he has no lack of chivalrous spirit. Therefore, in the face of threats, it is very likely that one would rather die than surrender.
This would be really troublesome.
"Brother Guo, after we take my mother out of the house, we will go and take my aunt into the customs." Xiang Nan said, "We will go quietly and return quietly. I don't think Temujin will notice."
Guo Jing thought for a while and nodded.
