The fate of Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Ke, and Yang Kang took a completely different path: the official career is profound, but the road ahead is long.

The news of Guo Jing's wedding quickly spread throughout Shanxi. Before this, his taking a concubine had not caused such a big fuss, and everyone was very curious about the status of the woman who could become Lord Guo's second wife.

At first, everyone did not care about Huang Rong's identity, thinking that her relatives were too low. It was not until after the wedding that everyone understood why Guo Jing wanted to marry her as his second wife.

Hou House.

The originally luxurious mansion was now covered with wedding characters and decorated with colorful lights, making it very lively.

Half a month had passed since the competition between Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing. The wedding date was also set by Huang Yaoshi. It was not the best date, but the nearest date, because he knew that Guo Jing would soon go to war against the Kingdom of Jin, so everything should be kept simple.

Although time was tight, the wedding was still a grand affair. Today, Guo Jing is no longer the same Guo Jing as before, and his status and position as an emperor are no longer the same. Accordingly, etiquette and various rules are also put on the table.

When you reach a certain status and position, you cannot avoid these things.

Guo Jing doesn’t understand these things, but it doesn’t matter, as long as someone understands them.

As the sound of ceremonial music sounded, guests from all over the country entered the banquet, making it very lively.

When the news spread, powerful people in the territory offered all kinds of rare treasures in an attempt to maintain relations with the Marquis' Mansion. The fate of the two families not long ago was still fresh in their minds. Now that they finally found an opportunity to repair the relationship, they rushed to offer generous gifts to show their submission.

Guo Jing also took this opportunity to urge the powerful people to send troops and food. The previous events were temporarily put on the back burner. The importance of Guanzhong was unquestionable, and he was reluctant to use all his own soldiers to fill the gap.

As the ceremonial music sounded, Huang Yaoshi and Li Ping sat at the top, waiting for the newlyweds to come and pay their respects.

Compared to the calm Huang Yaoshi, Li Ping seemed uneasy. She had lived for most of her life and rarely saw such a lively scene. Even when Hua Zheng got married, the scene was not so grand.

Ever since Guo Jing got married, she has completely hidden behind the scenes, never interfering in Guo Jing's affairs, usually taking care of her two grandsons and basically never stepping out of the door. In her opinion, this is all she can do. It is not easy for a child to inherit such a big family business, and she cannot hold him back.

What's more, what could be wrong with beating gold?

As all the procedures were completed, amidst the loud and festive music, Guo Jing and Huang Rong walked up to the two men and served them fragrant tea.

Today, Guo Jing was wearing the groom's clothes. Although he had an ordinary face, his temperament made up for it. No one dared to ignore him. Huang Rong, who was standing next to him, was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red veil on her head, so it was difficult for ordinary people to see her face.

This was an extremely authentic Han wedding. Guo Jing specifically asked Mu Huali to get the Kong family members and ordered them to arrange the ceremonial process. This also conveyed different political implications.

For thousands of years, the Kong family has represented the world's cultural context to some extent, so it might be difficult for them to cooperate with the Mongols.

But it is much easier to cooperate with Guo Jing, a Han Chinese. Although Guo Jing does not have a good impression of the Kong family, as long as it can enhance his own power, he can accept cooperating with them. The leader of a region cannot act simply according to his own preferences.

Su Ming did not attend the wedding because he did not like such a lively environment, but he agreed with Guo Jing's series of actions. With his current status, the wedding was no longer just a wedding, but also a political banquet.

Afterwards, the couple kowtowed and bowed in front of their parents.

Huang Yaoshi took the tea and looked at Guo Jing, his heart full of complicated feelings. He took a sip and stepped forward to pat Guo Jing on the shoulder, "Guo Jing, I leave Rong'er to you, don't let me down."

Guo Jing nodded slightly, his expression solemn, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely treat him well."

Huang Rong was sent to the bridal chamber, and Guo Jing stayed behind to entertain guests from all directions. Even the Kingdom of Jin sent gifts, ostensibly to celebrate but actually to gather information. He knew all of this, but he accepted all the gifts.

At the highest point of the mansion, Hong Qigong looked at the wedding below with a look of emotion, "I thought these two kids were interesting when I saw them. Although Guo doesn't look good, he is wise and foolish, and has a beautiful heart. I feel sorry for Rong'er."

"After so many years, they finally got together. It was not easy to get Huang Lao Xie to agree to this marriage."

Su Ming poured himself a glass of wine with a faint smile on his face, "It's really not easy." If Huang Rong had not come this time, he might not have intervened in this matter. After all, their marriage was destined to end, and some things cannot be changed by force.

Fate is truly wonderful.

Hong Qigong gulped down a mouthful of wine, his beard was messy and stained with wine, "I originally wanted to send a baby, but I didn't expect to ask for a wedding wine. It's time for the old beggar to leave. Remember to tell Guo kid."

"Oh? Where are you going, brother?"

"The world is so big, where can't we go? These years, the old beggar has been busy dealing with gang affairs, and he is tired of it." After thinking for a while, he continued, "Mr. Su, Guo has great ambitions. In my opinion, if we Han people want to revive in the future, we have to rely on him."

Su Ming dropped his wine glass and stood up. His loose long sleeves fluttered in the breeze, making him look like a fairy. "Seventh brother, you are too kind. It is hard to say how far he can go in the future."

……

Late at night, Guo Jing returned to the backyard drunk.

In the bridal chamber, two red dragon and phoenix candles as thick as a baby’s arms illuminated the room.

Huang Rong sat on the wedding bed, under the red veil, with her eyes slightly closed. Suddenly, the door of the room opened, and footsteps came closer and closer, and her heart gradually began to lift.

"Rong'er, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." A familiar voice sounded, and Huang Rong's eyelids trembled slightly, and her eyelashes flickered nervously.

Guo Jing walked forward slowly, picked up the beam scale beside him and lifted up the red veil.

What caught my eye was a face of overwhelming beauty. Under the dim light, Huang Rong's eyes were filled with anger and smile, pure and shy, as if they could speak, and sparkling with the light of happiness. Her eyebrows were slightly raised under her long eyelashes, as if hiding her infinite longing for the future.

For a moment, Guo Jing was stunned. Even though he had experienced many big scenes, he was still shaken when he saw this scene.

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be a land of gentleness and a tomb of heroes. He had never seen such a beautiful person.

Huang Rong is already beautiful enough on ordinary days, but today she is even more special and more beautiful.

Sensing Guo Jing's fiery gaze, Huang Rong bit her lips lightly, her ears turned red, as if she had a thousand words to say but was too shy to speak them out, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Husband, it's time to drink the wedding wine." Guo Jing came back to his senses, "Oh, oh, okay!"

He quickly walked to the table nearby, picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, and walked to Huang Rong and handed them to her.

Huang Rong stood up and took the wine glass. When her fingers touched it, a look of shyness and joy appeared on her pretty face, just like the softest sunset in the sky, gentle and charming.

For a moment, Guo Jing was stunned again, just like a novice who had never experienced anything in life.

Huang Rong's heart was filled with sweetness and joy. She stepped forward shyly and said, "Husband, it's time to rest."

As the candle was blown out, soon after, Huang Rong turned into Mrs. Guo. She finally got what she wanted and shed tears of happiness.

Guo Jing felt pity for her, but he only tasted it briefly and then fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, the two woke up from their sleep, and as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw each other and were filled with joy.

……

After the wedding, Huang Rong and Guo Jing served tea to Li Ping. Hua Zheng also accepted the tea from Huang Rong, but she did not put on airs and treated her as cordially as before.

Because she understood that Huang Rong was their right-hand man and was different from the concubines in the mansion, so she naturally could not be treated equally. As a Mongolian princess, Hua Zheng had a natural gap with those people, and on the contrary, she got along better with Huang Rong.

One is the main wife and the other is the secondary wife, and they both live happily together. Seeing this, Guo Jing finally feels relieved.

Then he summoned yesterday's guests to his house and discussed matters such as food, fodder, and soldiers with the powerful people.

At the same time, the Jin Kingdom finally started the war.

In the north, the Mongolian Grand Tutor Mu Huali had few troops and was busy recruiting powerful people in Hebei and suppressing Shandong and other places. The pressure faced by the Jin Dynasty was reduced sharply. At this time, Guo Jing had not mobilized troops for a long time, and at this time, the news of his wedding came back.

The pressure on the Jin Kingdom in the north suddenly decreased, and taking advantage of this situation, Wanyan Honglie decided to attack the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, at the turn of autumn and winter in 1217, the Jin Kingdom launched a large army southward on the grounds that the Song Kingdom had stopped paying annual tribute and military rewards. Emperor Wanyan Honglie ordered Crown Prince Wanyan Kang to supervise the army, and General Wanyan Saibu to lead the army, and mobilized an army of by sea to attack the Song Kingdom.

When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar. Mu Huali did not expect that at this time, the Jin Kingdom still had the spare energy to move south. After receiving the news, he just took a look, sneered a few times, and no longer paid attention to it.

If the Jin Kingdom could really conquer the Song Kingdom, it would have done so long ago. Why wait until today? He predicted that the Jin Kingdom would not gain much from this battle and would find it difficult to achieve its strategic goals.

Guo Jing had been waiting for this step for a long time. He could only move after the Jin Kingdom made a move. Now that the war had begun, it would take a long time to end. Since he was going to attack the Song Kingdom, he would definitely not be able to take Guanzhong into consideration. His chance had come.

One month after the Jin Kingdom launched an attack on the Song Dynasty, Guo Jing led an army of 80,000 to attack Guanzhong, including 70,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. Among the 70,000 troops, he only sent out 50,000 men, and the remaining 20,000 were gathered from powerful people in Shanxi.

Things are different now than in the past. Shanxi has such a large territory that we need to use military force to defend it. We can't just spend all our wealth.

……

Huaibei, Jin army camp.

Wanyan Honglie looked at the secret letter in his hand, his eyes full of bloodshot, "Didn't they say that Guo Jing would not be able to use troops after getting married? Why was he able to gather a large army and attack Guanzhong in such a short period of time?"

He never underestimated Guo Jing, and his spies had been active in Shanxi, but the information they received was that Guo Jing would not use military force against the Jin Kingdom, so he led the army to rule the country himself.

He never expected that Guo Jing would follow him right after he left.

How could he know that Guo Jing had been secretly preparing for the war. Shanxi had been peaceful for a long time, and food and fodder were no longer a problem. He had already transported them properly. The only things he lacked were weapons and war horses, which he gradually obtained from Mongolia and Western Xia. How could the Jin spies find out?

But it was now impossible to return to Guanzhong for support, because not long after the war began, there were frequent reports of victory from the front line. They had captured Guangshan, Luoshan, Xingzhou and several other cities along the way, killing nearly 20,000 Song troops.

At the same time, Wanyan Honglie divided his army into several routes and launched a fierce offensive against the Song army in Fancheng, Zaoyang, Guanghuajun, Dasanguan, Xihe, Jiezhou, Chengzhou and other places.

The fighting on the front line is at a stalemate. Even if we want to withdraw, we can't do so for a while.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Honglie felt a headache, and then said, "Forget it, first take Huaidi, and then support Guanzhong! Kang'er, send orders to all the armies to capture the city at all costs, and we must take Huaidi."

Yang Kang was waiting at the side and responded in a deep voice, "I obey your command!"

After he left, Wanyan Honglie was the only one left in the tent. He sat on a chair, looking up at the top of the tent with lifeless eyes. “I don’t know if this is right or wrong.”

……

Along the Yangtze River, a scholar looked at the battlefield in the distance and sighed softly, "Alas, why are the golden dogs attacking again?"

Han Baoju looked at the calm river with an angry expression, "Yes, the people finally had a few days of peace, and now they have to go to war again. Damn it!"

Five figures stood on the river bank. The river was empty without a single fishing boat.

At this time, Nan Xiren suddenly asked, "Brother, are we still going to Shanxi?" Originally they wanted to go north, but when they thought of the war between Jin and Song, they thought of staying and fighting the Jin people, so they asked this question.

Ke Zhen'e, leaning on a bat-shaped iron staff, said in a deep voice, "Go, of course we have to go. If we want the Jin army to withdraw, we have to let Jing'er send troops. Don't forget that he is the Mongolian prince consort, and he will definitely help the Song Dynasty repel the Jin people." His voice was firm and he looked confident.

However, Zhu Cong hesitated and asked, "But is he willing to send troops?"

"Humph, we are both Han Chinese, who else can he help if not the Song Dynasty? Don't forget, there is an alliance between Mongolia and the Song Dynasty. It is not out of line for us to ask him to send troops. Anyway, they will fight the Jin Dynasty sooner or later, so we might as well help the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Nan Xiren and Zhu Cong looked at each other and did not refute. "Brother, how about this? Let's split up. Second brother and I will go north to find Jing'er, and you and third brother will stay here to help and do your part."

After not seeing each other for so many years, no one knows what Guo Jing has become. He is not as confident as Ke Zhen'e. If he goes with Zhu Cong, there is still room for things to turn around. If his eldest brother goes, who knows what will happen.
