Chapter 512 Wuyi encounters
84_84561 In late spring, the grass grows and the beards fly. In Wuyi Mountain, a pair of beautiful people are wandering. They are wearing Taoist robes, one purple and one yellow. The man is handsome and the woman is as ice as jade as she is, and she is like a god among gods, which is perfect for each other.
"Zhixing, but are you still worried about Xiangyang?" Seeing the man's eyebrows seem to be worried, the woman in an apricot yellow Taoist robe said.
The man in purple Taoist robe said, "Yes, the situation is difficult, and no one can worry. Although the war in Xiangyang has stopped now, it is afraid that it will be difficult to defend when the Mongolian soldiers come again. It is difficult for Xiangyang City to be a strong city for twenty years, so it cannot be kept." As he said that, he stopped and couldn't help looking to the northwest, which was exactly the direction of Xiangyang.
The man was Fang Zhixing, and the woman next to him was his wife Li Mochou. Time flies, and it was already March of the fourth year of Jingding. More than three years have passed since Mengge's death. In December of the first year of Kaiqing, Kublai Khan finally led his army to the north, and in May of the following year he became emperor in Kaiping and established the Central Committee of the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Lizong changed his reign again, which was the first year of Jingding. Lv Wenhuan, the envoy of Xiangyang, took the opportunity to take the Northern Expedition and obtained permission from the court. Fang Zhixing and Hong
After hearing the news, the Qigong and others rushed to help, and led their troops to advance with Guo Jing and others, but were blocked by Wulianghetai. Several people set up a 28-scene formation, but were recognized by Wulianghetai and avoided the battle. Finally, the stalemate was in stalemate. In June of the second year of Jingding, Liu Zheng, deputy envoy of Tongchuan, surrendered to Mongolia with 15 counties of Luzhou, and 300,000 households, and the Sichuan defense line was in a hurry. Emperor Lizong was furious and ordered Yu Xing to attack Liu Zheng, but was defeated. He also ordered the Jinghu commander Lu Wende to attack the suppression. The troops and horses of Xiangyang were also drawn, and the northern expedition was temporarily stopped.
At the beginning of the following year, Liu Zheng was defeated and Luzhou was restored. In February, Li Fu offered three cities in Lianhai. He killed Mongolian garrison troops, spread from Haizhou and attacked Yidu, and advanced to Jinan. Later, he issued an edict to Hebei and invited Han soldiers from all over the country to stir up trouble, but few responded. At this time, Kublai Khan had defeated Alibuge. He dispatched troops south, sent Shi Tianze, A Shu and others to encircle Li Fu, and blocked the troops who fought again after returning to Xiangyang. In July, Li Fu was defeated and captured, and was killed in front of the army for Shi Tianze. Kublai Khan suspected that the Han generals had secret communication with Li Fu, and abolished the Marquis of the Han Di and collected military power. The army was exhausted in Xiangyang and retreated. The battle was temporarily suspended.
After Liu Zheng rebelled, Fang Zhixing knew that the Northern Expedition was completely hopeless and left sadly again. Later, he heard that Li Yu raised an army and echoed Guo Jing and others in Xiangyang, hoping to get a response from the Han soldiers in the north after the great victory. Unfortunately, the troops in Xiangyang were extremely tired. Although they won several small battles, they could not make great progress. Li Yu from Shandong was trapped in Jinan and eventually captured by Shi Tianze. After this battle, everyone realized that the Han people in the north had returned to Mongolia. Even though they were fighting in the north
With victory, it is difficult to get the world's response like Yue Fei's northern expedition. Disheartened and lazy, Fang Zhixing no longer did unnecessary achievements and led Yang Guo, Guo Polu and others back to Chixia Villa, and then together with Li Mochou, he taught Taizu Changquan and Taizu stick techniques in various parts of Jiangnan, hoping that these people would have some resistance when the Mongolian soldiers arrived. The two of them had walked all over Jiangnan West Road after several months. They arrived at Fujian Road to the east and passed Wuyi Mountain. So they visited here.
Seeing that Fang Zhixing's worries were not fading, Li Mochou felt very distressed. He comforted him: "Although you and I are not monks, they are all practitioners of Taoism. Don't worry too much about these troubles. I believe that with the hero Guo in Xiangyang, he will definitely deal with it." For decades, although Fang Zhixing has been old, his face has been only 20 or 30 years old due to his profound internal skills and proficient in health preservation. However, his worries about war in recent years have caused him to have a few white hair on his head and wrinkles on his face, which makes Li Mochou feel really distressed.
However, when it comes to "God of Guo", Fang Zhixing frowned even more. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Fang Zhixing knew that Xiangyang was no longer in defense, so he urged Guo Jing and Huang Rong to lead his troops to another place to seize the country and insist on the great cause of anti-Mongolia. However, Guo Jing and Huang Rong had made up their minds and swear to survive and die with Xiangyang, but they did not agree to this. Fang Zhixing had no choice but to take Yang Guo, Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Guo Polu and others away to avoid them falling into it. Whenever he thought of this, he felt very moved.
"I am better than a hero Guo! Alas..." Fang Zhixing whistled and said. Although he disagreed with some of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's actions, Fang Zhixing admired the beliefs of the two. He knew that it was impossible to do, but he could give his life for him and really respect him.
Seeing that he couldn't help but sigh, Li Mochou felt a little annoyed and regretted that he shouldn't mention this matter, which made Fang Zhixing sigh. Instead, he thought of another thing and said, "I think Xia'er and Polu are not young anymore. When are you planning to get them married?"
"Marrying? Xia'er and Polu seem to be a bit early?" Fang Zhixing said in surprise. When he mentioned his daughter, he didn't care about anything. As a Taoist priest who was not a monk, Fang Zhixing was very concerned about his wife and daughter. Over the years, Guo Polu studied art in Chixia Villa and often played with Fang Yuxia. Although no one deliberately matched each other, the two gradually became in love, especially after facing the danger of King Jinlun, four years ago, they made rapid progress. When Fang Zhixing left Xiangyang, he had already made an engagement with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and agreed to get married the next day. Unexpectedly, Li Mochou mentioned it so quickly.
Li Mochou curled his lips and pretended to be displeased, "What's the early one? Xia'er is already in her twenties. If she doesn't get married, she will become a big girl. Do you still want her to get married as late as me?" As she said that, she turned her head, as if she was extremely angry. She often had resentment about the two of them who had wasted several years back then.
When Fang Zhixing heard Li Mochou mention the past, he couldn't help but smile, helped his wife's body, and said, "Okay, after this trip, we will go back to marry Xia'er and Polu. Are you satisfied?" After careful calculations, Guo Polu is now twenty years old, and Fang Yuxia is even twenty-three years old. This age is nothing in the future, but in this era, the two are already considered old unmarried young people, and Fang Zhixing dare not delay it for too long.
When Li Mochou heard this, he became happy, but then heard Fang Zhixing murmuring: "The Song Dynasty is no longer guaranteed. Where will Xia'er and Polu get married? Last time, Wulianghetai almost broke through Tanzhou. You can't let them stay in Chixia Villa?" He and Li Mochou were old and had high martial arts skills, but nothing was there. Fang Yuxia and Guo Polu were both young, which made them worried under the iron hoof of the Mongolian army in the future. Fang Zhixing couldn't bear to leave. However, as Guo Jing's son, once Xiangyang was defeated, Guo Polu would be struggling in the Central Plains. Fang Yuxia was with him and would be implicated.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou was also worried. Needless to say, Xiangyang City, if Guo Polu followed Guo Jing to defend the city, she would definitely not agree to her daughter's marriage with Guo Polu. Although Chixia Villa was well arranged, it was difficult to prevent the Mongolian army. Fang Yuxia and Guo Polu would definitely encounter danger in the future. She frowned and thought, wanting Fang Yuxia and Guo Polu to return to the ancient tomb to live, but she was unwilling and it was not safe. After thinking for a while, an idea came to her mind and said, "Without, Taohua Island is far overseas, and the Mongolian Tartars must be out of reach. Xiaer and Polu will definitely live there without any slightest." As Guo Jing, Huang Rong's son and Huang Yaoshi's grandson, Guo Polu could not say anything about it. Taohua Island is far overseas, and the island is protected by formations, which is extremely safe.
When Fang Zhixing heard the "Peach Blossom Island", he also lit up. He said, "Yes, Mongolian soldiers and horses are invincible on land, but the sea is far from being far away. If it really doesn't work, letting Xia'er and Polu live overseas is a way out." However, when the Mongolian Navy won a great victory in the Yashan Sea Battle, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but frown secretly. Although the Mongolian Navy is weak now, it will not be weak in the future. Taohua Island is located near the sea, but it is not that safe. As a small island, even if it is protected by formations, it cannot withstand tens of thousands of troops. Although the Mongolian side may not be determined to do this, it has to be guarded.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing turned his head east and seemed to see the sea, and seemed to see the big island opposite the sea, murmured: "To the east of Quanzhou, there is an island called Liuqiu. If things are not harmonious, you can go there." Compared with Taohua Island, which is small and close to the mainland, Liuqiu Island is much better. At this time, there must be Han people on the island. If they are integrated, they will gather some people who are unwilling to stay under the Mongolian rule in the future. It may be difficult to get a good idea even if the Mongolian navy goes.
Thinking of the troops, Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up again. When he advised Guo Jing and Huang Rong to lead his troops away, the reason he used was to go to other places to resist Mongolia. At that time, he was thinking about going to some dangerous places in the southwest, but now it seems that this Liuqiu is better. The Mongolian army can conquer Dali and sent Wulianghetai to detour, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places, which is actually difficult to defend. However, if it is placed on the island, the situation is very different. If it is carefully managed, it is possible to attack Mongolia based on this. In that case, there will be another path for the anti-Mongolism. It should be a bit possible to persuade Guo Jing and Huang Rong!
"Liuqiu? Where is that? How far is it?" Li Mochou said strangely after hearing what Fang Zhixing said. She had almost never gone out to sea, and she had only heard of the islands such as Peach Blossom Island, so naturally she didn't know Liuqiu.
"Liuqiu, to the east of Quanzhou, about 300 miles away from Quanzhou, nearly a thousand miles away, it can be said to be the largest island in the east. This island was called Yizhou in ancient times, and it is also said to be Yingzhou among the three islands, which can be called the land of immortals!" Before Fang Zhixing could answer, he heard a voice coming. Before the two turned around, they saw a Taoist priest who was about sixty or seventy years old, turning out from the mountains and forests, with a childish hair and a fairy-like appearance, and a kind of master, but he was a fellow man. (To be continued).
