The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 133 Wu Mu's Letter is in Hand
After coming out of the palace, Su Ming quietly returned to the inn, tore off his disguise and restored his original appearance. Although he had been in and out of the palace several times, he still had to be cautious. If someone saw his face, the consequences could be imagined. He did not want to be issued an official arrest warrant.

Since then, Su Ming never entered the palace again. He usually traveled around Lin'an, and also bought intelligence from the Beggars' Gang and thought about the current situation. There are three kingdoms in the world now, Mongolia, Jin, and Song. Among them, Jin is sandwiched between Mongolia and is easily attacked from both sides. However, among the three kingdoms, Jin is the strongest, Song is second, and Mongolia is the worst.

But in terms of military strength, the situation is the opposite. Although the Mongols have a small population, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Jin people a hundred years ago. The so-called Meng'an Mouke could not stop the Mongolian cavalry that swept across Europe and Asia.

There have not been many changes within Mongolia, except for the addition of Guo Jing. There will not be much change in the short term. The Jin Kingdom must be fought. As long as Mongolia wants to survive and live a better life, the Jin Kingdom must be fought.

From the Beggars' Sect, Su Ming learned some intelligence about the Jin Kingdom. The Prince and Princess Zhao had already returned to Zhongdu. In the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Honglie strongly advocated marching south and served as the main general.

Once the Jin Kingdom gains an advantage by marching southward, Wanyan Honglie's position as the crown prince will basically be set in stone. It is unknown where this ambitious Prince Zhao will lead the Jin Kingdom.

However, the Song Dynasty was still in chaos. Shi Miyuan's death created a huge power vacuum. The Emperor Zhao Kuo was a "fool" and did not know how to place his confidants at this time. Within a few days, the pro-war and pro-peace factions argued fiercely in the court.

However, the chaos was only temporary. Without Shi Miyuan, the peace faction was a loose group and it was impossible for them to have the power they had in the past. The most likely possibility was that both sides would compromise and be pushed forward by the situation, and the Jin Kingdom would be the catalyst.

By then, the game of chess will have entered the stage of real fighting.

……

Not long after Peng Lianhu and his companions left, Su Ming set out for the north. There were not many things in the world that could arouse his interest, and Wu Mu's testament happened to be one of them. He would rather destroy it than let it fall into the hands of the Jin people.

Going up the river, the war has not yet begun, but its impact on the people has begun to appear. In recent days, the trade routes between the north and the south have become more prosperous, but the price of food has become higher and higher.

In the villages located at the junction of the north and the south, it is rare to see people. People are leaving or running away, and the area is deserted.

A few days later, Su Ming rode his Qingcong horse to Luxi. After asking for directions from the waiter of a roadside tavern, he walked towards Iron Palm Peak. From a distance, he could see five peaks towering into the clouds, like five thick fingers standing in the air. Among them, the middle peak was particularly tall, like the longest middle finger on a palm.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he found a place to hide his horse and then leisurely went up the mountain.

On the mountain road, members of the Iron Palm Gang guarded the main road.

"Look, what is that?" The man guarding the mountain asked in surprise as he saw a figure walking towards him from afar on the rugged mountain road.

"Idiot, that's a human!" The companion next to him cursed, then walked forward and shouted, "Stop, who are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ming flicked his fingers and two fingers shot out, piercing the man's throat immediately. He fell to the ground softly, but he seemed to have nothing happened, walking and enjoying the surrounding scenery. The Iron Palm Gang has a long history, and the previous leader Shangguan Jiannan was also a hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty. The fact that they were able to survive the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court was not only due to the strong strength of the Iron Palm Gang, but also due to the dangerous location of the Iron Palm Peak, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The mountain road is rugged, with only man-made paths. There are dense pine forests on the mountain peaks, which look lush and green at a glance.

After clearing out the members of the Iron Palm Gang, Su Ming stepped onto the Middle Finger Peak of the Iron Palm Mountain. This was also the place where the bones of the previous gang leaders were buried. When the gang leaders were dying, they would go to the peak to wait for death. There was a very strict gang rule in the gang that anyone who entered the area of ​​the second knuckle of the Middle Finger Peak could not come down alive. If the gang leader died outside, a disciple of the gang would carry the bones to the peak and then commit suicide to be buried with him.

Therefore, when he walked here, he did not encounter any gang members guarding the mountain. He walked on the steep mountain as if it were flat ground, leaving a trail of shadows on the mountain wall. After walking for several miles and turning two corners, a huge cave suddenly appeared in front of him.

Su Ming was shocked. This should be the place where Wu Mu's posthumous letter was hidden. The cave was very spacious. It must be naturally formed. It was ten times larger than the artificially excavated stone chamber outside. Looking around, there were more than ten skeletons in the cave, some sitting or lying, with different expressions. Some skeletons were scattered on the ground, while others were still intact. There were also some bone urns and spirit tablets. Beside each skeleton were weapons, hidden weapons, tools, treasures and other items.

But these were not what he was looking for. Su Ming's eyes swept over each skeleton and finally fell on a skeleton on the east wall of the cave. The skeleton's finger bones were tightly grasping a wooden box, and there seemed to be words on the box.

He walked forward, looked down, and saw four big words engraved on the box: "The Key to Breaking Gold".

A faint joy emerged in Su Ming's heart. He stretched out his hand and the wooden box floated up and was caught in his hand. Without the wooden box, the skeleton somehow fell to the ground and bones fell all over the floor.

"Brother, I'm sorry!"

Su Ming remained silent, apologized to him in his heart, then opened the wooden box. Inside the box lay two books, one thick and one thin.

He picked up the thin book in front of him, flipped it open, and raised his eyebrows. This book turned out to be Yue Fei's memorials, petitions, inscriptions, letters, and poems over the years. He flipped through them casually, and every word of these memorials was filled with loyalty and righteousness, and every stroke, golden hook and silver stroke, was sharp.

As expected of Yue Fei, his handwriting reflects his personality!
Su Ming put the first booklet into his pocket, picked up the second booklet and opened it. On the first page were written eighteen large characters: "Research and select carefully, train carefully, reward and punish fairly, issue clear orders, enforce strict discipline, and share the joys and sorrows."

It really is Wu Mu’s suicide note!
With this thing, Guo Jing has finally made up for his shortcomings. As long as he learns Wu Mu's testament, he can be called an "anti-gold treasure" among the Mongols. Although the Mongolian cavalry is very powerful, Yue Fei's tactics are different.

No matter how much the Central Plains dynasty trained, it could not defeat the nomadic peoples in a short period of time with cavalry, so heavy infantry came into being. The practice of infantry restraining cavalry began with Liu Yu, and subsequent dynasties gradually improved it, eventually forming a reliable and effective method of warfare.

If Guo Jing could rebuild Yue's army in the future, he could not only use it to fight the Jin people, but also the Mongols.
