The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 145: Teaching Wu Mu's posthumous letter and making his intention clear in front of the teacher

"Crash."

The moment Guo Jing finished speaking, the sound of ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the river. The fishing rod in Su Ming's hand suddenly became taut, bent, and swayed from side to side. The fishing line made a sound in the water, but he sat in the boat motionless, as if his feet had taken root.

Su Ming did not speak, and neither did Guo Jing. He just slowly walked to Su Ming's side and looked down.

On the surface of the river, the fish's tail was swinging, and the fish scales could be faintly seen glowing with golden light. After a quarter of an hour, the fish finally ran out of strength and its swimming speed slowed down. Only then did Su Ming slowly reel in the fishing rod.

The fishing rod was swung, and a one-foot-long golden-back carp drew an arc in the air and fell onto the boat. Its tail hit the boat with a loud bang, and water splashed everywhere.

However, Guo Jing's pupils suddenly shrank. There was no hook on the fishing line!
The previous sound transmission technique was enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect that the teacher didn't use a fishhook to fish, but actually used the true qi to attach the carp to the fishing line. What a strong true qi and what a strong control.

His martial arts skills had improved over the past two years, and he thought he would be able to get his teacher's praise when they met again, and he might even be able to touch his back. But now he realized that he was still far from achieving that goal.

After catching the carp, Su Ming stood up and looked at Guo Jing with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "Jing'er, long time no see."

Guo Jing has changed more in the past year than in the past sixteen years. This is the first time he has been a commander-in-chief, the first time he has been a father... All kinds of things have been put on him, forcing him to grow up quickly. Today, he still has that ordinary face, but even if he falls into a crowd, it will not be hidden, because his temperament is too outstanding.

Guo Jing's eyes moistened slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I am sorry for being such a worthy disciple. I finally see you again."

Su Ming smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to tie up the carp on the boat, and put it into the fish basket, "I have heard about what you did, so I came here."

Guo Jing's eyes flashed with surprise, and he smiled embarrassedly, "It's all because of the Khan's high regard for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do those things."

Su Ming felt a little emotional. He took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to him. "This is a gift from your teacher. Open it and take a look."

Guo Jing took the wooden box solemnly and opened it. On the top volume were four large characters, "Wu Mu's Testament". He raised his head suddenly and looked at Su Ming in disbelief. "Teacher, is this Prince Yue's military book?"

The name of Yue Fei is known to almost everyone in this land, and there is no need to say much about the importance of Wu Mu's testament. It is a treasure that military strategists and generals dream of.

Su Ming nodded, "Jing'er, you are now a general, and the things in this book are still useful to you. Make good use of Prince Yue's legacy. I look forward to this military book shining in your hands."

"I hope that what Yue Fei failed to do a hundred years ago can be accomplished in your hands. In this way, Yue Fei will rest in peace in his grave, and his efforts will not be in vain."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Although the words were plain, they carried a heavy weight in Guo Jing's ears. What did Yue Fei want to do?
To attack Huanglong directly, expel the Jin people, and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there must be a prerequisite for all these, that is, to destroy the Jin Kingdom. But, can you do it?

For a moment, he was silent, and Su Ming did not speak either, but just waited quietly for his reply. His things were not so easy to take. Even if he was his disciple, all the gifts of fate had already been marked with a price. If he could not do this, he would rather give Wu Mu's posthumous letter to Genghis Khan.

The Mongolian cavalry has its own way of fighting, but it doesn't matter. He can establish a vassal army, use human lives to pile up a heavy infantry that can defeat the Jin Dynasty. At this time, Genghis Khan had already conquered Western Xia and the Western Regions. The population of the grassland was small, but it did not mean that he had no available forces.

At this moment, Guo Jing was torn between his conscience and his desires, and was in confusion. He didn't know if he could shoulder such a responsibility. Until now, he was mostly pushed around by the current situation, and he didn't have many real choices.

Now, Su Ming is asking him to choose.

Once he accepted Wu Mu's will and Yue Fei's last wish, it would mean that he would take on the heavy responsibility of destroying the Jin Dynasty and restoring the Han people. As for the Song Dynasty in the south, it could just stay where it is.

After his diplomatic mission to the Song Dynasty, Guo Jing had a thorough understanding of the Song Dynasty's court. The Song Dynasty was beyond salvation. A country that had lost its backbone and integrity would only be struggling to survive even if it continued to exist. There was nothing worthy of praise.

However, thinking of the Han people who were exploited by the Jin people in the north, and his father and the people in Guiyun Villa who died at the hands of the Song people, Guo Jing was always furious. He wanted to turn everything upside down, hold the Song court accountable, and ask them why!
At this moment, he looked at Wu Mu's suicide note in his hand, and the words of Man Jiang Hong echoed in his mind, "My hair stood on end with anger, I leaned on the railing, the rain stopped..." Then he thought of the past of the Han Dynasty, those glorious histories, and thought about the Central Plains land that was in turmoil today...

He didn't want his descendants to become Mongols, and he didn't want the story of the Han people to end here!

After a long while, he sighed deeply and bowed to Su Ming. When he raised his head, his eyes were full of determination, and his spirit and energy had changed dramatically. "Teacher, Guo Jing will definitely not let you down. I will inherit Grandpa Yue's legacy. Once I am a Han Chinese, I will always be a Han Chinese. I will restore the glory of the Han Chinese. It is my duty as Guo Jing!"

Su Ming smiled happily, and said solemnly, "Okay, I will remember your words. This is the last lesson I will teach you." After that, he walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Jing'er, you have graduated!"

It is better to prepare for some things early. This is not because Su Ming wants to force him. The world is about to change and he does not have much time left. The speed at which the Mongolian cavalry swept the world exceeded everyone's imagination, and the weakness and concession of the Jin Dynasty was even more shocking.

Guo Jing is already in the middle of the overall situation, and his decision will greatly affect the future situation. There is no time for him to slowly realize it. Sometimes, once you miss the opportunity, you will never get it again.

Instantly, Guo Jing was struck by lightning. This sentence was totally beyond his expectation. He wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Su Ming, "Jing'er, I have taught you everything I should have taught you. The rest of the journey is up to you. The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan have taught you for more than ten years, and I have also taught you for more than ten years. Even I did not expect that the child back then would end up like this today."

"I can only say, it's time and fate!"

Guo Jing didn't say anything else, but just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times.

Su Ming smiled with relief, "It's time for you to go back, and it's time for me to leave too."

"Teacher, take care."

Hearing this, Guo Jing looked at him deeply, then turned and left, returning to the official ship in the same way.

After he left, Su Ming held the bamboo pole and rowed the boat gently, and the boat floated downstream and soon disappeared.

…On the official ship, other Mongolian companions saw Guo Jing and surrounded him, extremely excited, “Guo Jing, how did you do that just now? Teach me!”

"Yeah, that's amazing, I wish I could learn it."

Guo Jing took great pains to convince them, and then returned to his cabin, closed the door, calmed down, opened the wooden box and read it carefully. In addition to Wu Mu's posthumous letter, there were also Yue Fei's memorials, petitions, inscriptions, letters, and poems.

He took a quick look at it and then turned his attention to Wu Mu's letter. This was Yue's grandfather's military book, which contained methods to restrain the Jin people. It was with his extraordinary strategy that he was able to stabilize half of Jiangnan and save the precarious Song Dynasty.

On the way back to Mongolia, Guo Jing stayed at home and devoted himself to studying Wu Mu's testament. It not only contained methods to deal with the Jin people, but also methods of training soldiers. He studied it carefully and found that it was exactly the same as the method of training soldiers taught him by his teacher.

In ancient dynasties, the methods of training soldiers have always been similar, except that the teaching methods vary for different military branches. However, some approaches can be said to lead to the same goal.

With the military tactics taught by Su Ming in front of him, he verified them with Su Ming and made remarkable progress.

……

After handing Wu Mu's letter to Guo Jing, Su Ming returned to Dugu Sword Tomb outside Xiangyang City.

"Wow!"

The eagle was teasing the giant python in the valley, flapping its wings up and down, jumping around, and pecking the python from time to time. The giant python was pecked all over its body and had no chance to escape.

Suddenly Su Ming's voice rang in its ears, "You are enjoying yourself and having fun."

Hearing the sound, he turned his head suddenly and saw Su Ming not far away. He didn't even care about the big python under his feet. He ran over and barked at him, as if blaming him for taking so long to go out.

Seeing that it was angry, Su Ming smiled slightly, untied the package on its back, took out the bloody beef and put it in front of the eagle. In the mountains and forests, the eagle had eaten all kinds of meat, but had eaten very little beef. As soon as the eagle took it out, it liked it very much. It barked twice and began to feast on it.

Seeing that it was eating happily, Su Ming walked around it and entered the valley, but the python had already escaped.

When we returned to the cave, we found that the tables and benches inside were covered with a thick layer of dust. However, with the eagle there, nothing else came in, and there was no strange smell.

He gathered all his internal energy and gently waved his palm. The air flow rolled back, blowing up the dust on the ground and instantly sweeping it out of the cave, leaving only the clean cave. Seeing this, Su Ming smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he walked to Dugu Sword Tomb, looked at the three swords lying on the ground, and reached for the heavy black iron sword. Sure enough, the heavy black iron sword was very heavy. An ordinary sword weighed only a few pounds, and a heavier sword weighed only a dozen pounds, while the heavy black iron sword weighed dozens of pounds. Su Ming used a lot of strength to lift it with one hand.

If he used the ordinary sword training method, he would have reached a bottleneck. If he wanted to make progress, he would need time to hone his skills. But with the black iron heavy sword, he could find another way. Apart from anything else, just realizing how to make light of heavy objects was enough. As for the black iron sword technique, it was secondary.

In the following days, Su Ming consumed the gallbladder and meat of the Bosuqu snake while practicing the Black Iron sword technique under the waterfall.

As for directly challenging the eagle to a fight, that was impossible. He could no longer maintain the balance of the heavy black iron sword after swinging it a few times. How could he possibly beat the eagle? Of course, his strength was not just a few dozen pounds, but it would take time to adapt to suddenly carrying a heavy object.

He is not the kind of guy who is born with supernatural powers, so it is impossible for him to get the hang of it right away.

With the nourishment of the Bosuqu snake's gallbladder, Su Ming's strength increased rapidly. After half a month, he was able to wield the heavy black iron sword for a long time. However, he still could not perform any sword moves under the impact of the waterfall.

Of course, practicing like this did not hurt Su Ming's body at all. He was not Yang Guo, who had just had his arm chopped off by Guo Fu and was forced by the eagle to practice sword under the waterfall due to excessive blood loss.

If it weren't for the treasure like the Bosuqu snake, Yang Guo would have been exhausted to death long ago. The human body's daily energy intake is limited, and the Bosuqu snake's gallbladder is a high-energy food that can withstand consumption.

But what was Yang Guo's condition at the beginning? He was seriously injured, and Xiaolongnu left him. He was almost in a state of exhaustion and was forced to do something by the big eagle. Although this made rapid progress, it consumed his own essence in the long run.

Most people practice martial arts to strengthen their foundation, but he kept consuming his own energy and spirit by practicing martial arts under the waterfall. As a result, sixteen years later, Xiaolongnu was as beautiful as she was sixteen years ago, but Yang Guo was haggard. He was obviously younger than Xiaolongnu, but he looked older than her. If he had made great progress in martial arts in the normal way, how could he look like this?

……

Mongolia, Golden Horde

Genghis Khan looked at the treaty document in his hand and laughed triumphantly, "Well, our Mongolia can finally be on an equal footing with the Jin and Song dynasties. That's great!" To him, the treaty was not important, but the significance it represented was extraordinary.

At that time, everyone didn't know there was such a thing as national cohesion, but there was no doubt that everyone was doing it imperceptibly. Our ancestors started thousands of years ago, constantly expanding territory, integrating the Dongyi, Nanman, Beidi, and Xirong, and step by step turning the Central Plains into the territory of the Han people.

In the years that followed, it expanded southward step by step, integrating the Baiyue, Ouyue, and various chieftains, etc., and implementing a policy of sinicization, resulting in the current territory.

What the alliance could bring to Genghis Khan was to enhance the cohesion of the Mongolian tribes and inspire their self-confidence and ambition. The fighting power of a grassland nation united as one is terrifying.

After reading the covenant, he looked at the Mongolian envoys and waved his hand, "You have done a great job. This Khan will reward you handsomely!"

Afterwards, Genghis Khan summoned the leaders and nobles of various tribes and read the covenant in person. For a while, the reactions of various tribes varied, but overall they were happy.

Guo Jing mingled among the crowd, watching the performance of the Mongolian tribal leader, thinking deeply. With his wisdom, he certainly guessed that this alliance was of no use at all, but Genghis Khan still went to great lengths to ask him to do it. There must be a deeper meaning in it, but he has not guessed it yet.

After the banquet, Guo Jing was about to leave when he was stopped by Genghis Khan's guards.
