The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 137: Conversation and Probing with Genghis Khan
The grassland herdsmen have worshipped the goshawk and the white wolf since thousands of years ago, and even use them as totems and flags. It can be said that both names have good meanings.

However, when Guo Jing heard these two names, he inexplicably thought of the idiom "eagle-eyed and wolf-watching". It was rumored that people with such faces had evil intentions and ambitions to be emperors. After he came to his senses, he subconsciously wanted to laugh. How could this be possible?

"The Khan gave a very good name. I will tell Hua Zheng about it when I get back. She will definitely be very happy when she knows it."

However, the next moment, Genghis Khan's face turned serious and he scolded, "Guo Jing, Hua Zheng has given birth to a child. You should focus on your work. Don't forget that you are still my captain. You can't always be immersed in love affairs. Do you understand?"

Guo Jing immediately admitted his mistake, "Great Khan is right, Guo Jing will definitely keep it in mind."

Seeing him admit his mistake, Genghis Khan did not pursue the matter any further and instead entrusted him with an important task. "Not long from now, I will lead my troops to have a serious fight with the Jin Kingdom. This time they are heading south and their forces are dispersed. This is a good opportunity for us to avenge our previous humiliation. This time, I plan to let you serve as the vanguard. Are you willing?"

Let me be the pioneer?
Guo Jing was filled with doubt and confusion. Fighting against the Jin people was not the same as fighting on the grassland. After all, the Jin Kingdom was the most powerful country in the world today. This vanguard was very important.

He thought for a moment and declined, "Great Khan, this war concerns the future of Mongolia. We have so many great generals. If I make a mistake, wouldn't it be a big mistake? Although I have always wanted to kill Jin Gou to avenge my father, this matter is of great importance. Please take back your order, Great Khan."

Unexpectedly, after he said this, Genghis Khan became even more satisfied with him. It is important for people to know themselves, and military affairs are not a joke. Guo Jing's understanding further strengthened his idea.

Genghis Khan decided to give him a reassurance to calm his mind. "Don't worry, I have my own considerations. In addition to you, Tolui will also be the vanguard this time. I have been preparing for half a year and have been looking forward to fighting the Jin Dynasty. It is enough for you to be your vanguard, and you don't have to worry about the rest." There was a bit of majesty in his comfort.

After hearing this, Guo Jing understood that his vanguard was actually a feint attack, mainly to attract the enemy's attention. The ones who could truly decide the direction of the war were Genghis Khan and his elite troops.

An elite cavalry unit, if performing well, is enough to change the outcome of a war. Genghis Khan happened to be the general who made the best use of cavalry in this era, and the grassland herdsmen happened to be the most suitable people in the world to be cavalry. The combination of the two created Genghis Khan's reputation for being invincible.

Now that things have come to this, if he doesn't agree, he will be ungrateful. "Guo Jing, I obey your command."

Genghis Khan looked relieved. "Very good, this is my consort, Hua Zheng's good husband. I will send troops to you in the near future. You must seize the time to train, as you don't have much time left."

"Guo Jing understands."

After explaining all this, Genghis Khan suddenly asked another question, "By the way, Tolui and his men came back from the Song Dynasty and said that the Song Dynasty's military strength was weakened and could not withstand the attack of the Jin Dynasty. What do you think?"

He actually asked this question.

Guo Jing sighed inwardly and spoke out his prepared speech, "Great Khan, the Song Kingdom is indeed not strong in military strength, but the Yangtze River is a natural barrier in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Song Dynasty's navy is the best in the world. They may not be able to defeat the Jin people, but they will have no problem defending themselves."

"The south is crisscrossed with waterways, which is not conducive to the movement of carriages and horses, let alone cavalry combat. When the Jin army reaches the south, even if it has 100% of its strength, it can only exert 70% of it. Therefore, I think that the Song Dynasty may temporarily lose the war against the Jin, but the Jin Dynasty will definitely not be able to cross the natural barrier of the Yangtze River." Genghis Khan showed a look of regret when he heard that the south was crisscrossed with waterways and was not conducive to cavalry combat. To be honest, he envied the fact that such a weak country actually occupied the richest land in the world. He did have ideas about the Song Dynasty.

But after hearing what Guo Jing said, he temporarily gave up his ambitions towards the Song Dynasty. The current Mongolia was not the Mongolian cavalry that would sweep across Europe and Asia decades later. It did not have enough territory, not enough population, and only had the best cavalry in the world. With such strength, it would not be able to take down the Song Dynasty no matter what.

Even for Mongolia, it took decades to attack the Song Dynasty, let alone the current Mongolia.

"It seems that Song State is not completely useless."

Afterwards, the two chatted a lot, Guo Jing answered carefully, and left at night.

After he left, Genghis Khan sat on the throne and thought quietly. He suddenly asked in a certain direction of the big tent, "Master, what do you think of this child Guo Jing?"

At some point, a monk in a bright red robe appeared in the tent. He sat cross-legged on a blanket with his hands clasped together. When he heard Genghis Khan's question, he opened his eyes slightly and said, "This child was originally just a piece of stone wrapped in gold. After traveling to the south, the gold was slowly worn away. If he is tempered, he will definitely achieve great success in the future."

Genghis Khan also sighed, "As expected of him, he is the disciple of that man. I have tested him in many ways just now, and he has done nothing wrong. My fourth son is far inferior to him."

However, the next moment, a confident look appeared on his face. "However, no matter how outstanding he is, he is still the consort of Mongolia after all. He is destined to be used by me and serve Mongolia!"

Genghis Khan, the great conqueror, was so confident and arrogant. He believed that only with him could Guo Jing display his greatest value. Apart from him, the Jin Kingdom had a grudge against him, and the weak Song Dynasty discriminated against military men, and its military was in disrepair and unusable. What reason did he have not to serve him?
So what if he is Han Chinese?
His wife is Mongolian, his brother is Mongolian, and his two sons will also be Mongolians. In such an environment, even if he is a Han Chinese, what is the difference between him and a Mongolian?
Similarly, Genghis Khan had other ideas in his mind. He wanted to recruit his teacher through Guo Jing and let him give him advice. The relationship was getting closer step by step. Even if there was no opportunity now, there might be a chance in the future.

Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help but laugh out loud; his laughter was rough, heroic and confident.

……

Outside Xiangyang City.

Su Ming, wearing a warrior robe, was walking through the dense jungle. He was carrying a sword and following two hunters.

After returning from Iron Palm Mountain, he came to Xiangyang. Xiangyang City was very large and the terrain was dangerous. Su Ming thought that he could find Dugu Sword Tomb by himself. Facts proved that he was wrong, very wrong.

There are too many mountains around here, and who knows in which valley Dugu Qiubai's sword tomb is located. After searching for a month, he gave up and hired hunters and snake catchers in the city to look for the Bosuqu snake in the name of seeking medicine.
