Hearing Shi Shugang and Zhang Junbao's request, Guo Jing couldn't help but recall the scenes he had been in Xiangyang for decades: the resolution at the Heroes of Dashengguan, the fierce battle to come to Xiangyang, the joy of repelling the Mongols, the pain of the failure of the Northern Expedition, and the persistence of trapping the lonely city... Then he looked at his dusty son, his wife with gray hair, Zhu Ziliu, and the heroes who were alive and sacrificed in Xiangyang City, and he also appeared one by one. Thinking of these people, even with Guo Jing's perseverance, tears could not help but appear in his eyes. All the feelings in his heart turned into a sigh and sighed.

     Hearing Guo Jing sigh, Huang Rong knew her husband's intentions, stepped forward to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Jing, don't you have anything to tell Polu? Now that he is here, why don't you say it?" The two of them have been in Xiangyang for thirty years, and their efforts for the rest of their lives are almost all here. Now that Xiangyang is about to fall, the pain in their hearts can be imagined. Huang Rong also empathizes with her husband's feelings.

     "Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! When will your master arrange for breaking through?" Guo Jing asked his son. The meaning of the words was that he had agreed to break through. However, when he heard the result he wanted, none of the people in the field were happy, but instead felt a little sad. Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang also guarded Xiangyang for decades and had a deep relationship with it. Moreover, as the hub of the middle section of the Yangtze River defense line, once Xiangyang fell, the Yangtze River defense line could be said to be in danger. As long as the Mongolians go down the river, the Song Dynasty will be in danger. Thinking that even if they break through, they will have to survive under the Iron Cavalry of the Tartars, how can everyone be happy!

     "Master said we will come today. When the Tartars knew about it, they will definitely come to attack the city. It is not a good time to break through. Therefore, let everyone have a rest in the past two days and break through the early morning of the next day after the Tartars siege. My junior brother and I came to discuss how to respond so as not to make any mistakes!" Guo Polu replied after hearing this.

   "The early morning of the next day after the Tartars attacked the city, this is good..." Guo Jing murmured. As he said, he said to Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang: "Brother Zhu, Brother Shi, you can bring people to arrange tomorrow's city defense. Then take out the remaining food so that everyone can eat more in the past few days, accumulate energy, and prepare for a future breakthrough."

     Zhu Ziliu, when Shi Shugang heard this, he nodded immediately. Zhu Ziliu asked, "Do you want to tell all the brothers about breaking through? What do you say about the breakout? Brother Guo, how do you arrange the elite soldiers you trained?" At that time, he received the help of Fang Zhixing's treasure. Guo Jing trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xiangyang City. Although more than half of the casualties were killed and half during the last Xiangyang War and the Northern Expedition, and the encirclement in the past five years has been continuously consumed, two or three thousand people remained, including the remaining hundreds of Jingkang Army that were constantly replenishing. These soldiers and horses, together with the people in the city, are the most important forces directly controlled by Guo Jing.

     "Dad, the child has now captured a place in Liuqiu. The brothers on the island miss these brothers very much, so let them break through and go to Liuqiu together!" Guo Polu said. When he went to Liuqiu to open up his foundation, he recruited hundreds of people who were willing to go to Liuqiu from the training of Guo Jing, forming the initial power. Over the years, some of these people died in battle, some died of illness, and some withdrew from the army, but those who remained were still the basic power in Guo Polu. Now, although the remaining people in Xiangyang City are old and some are even old and weak, Guo Polu believes that as long as these people succeed in Liuqiu with him, it is not difficult to unify the entire island within a few years. Compared with other forces on the island, these elite soldiers in Xiangyang can be said to be too strong compared to the elite soldiers of Mongolia.

      sighed, Guo Jing made acquiesce and said to Zhu Ziliu: "Go. Let everyone know what they should know, so as not to have other thoughts." After Lu Youjiao's affairs, Guo Polu and Zhang Junbao took the risk, and the breakthrough was almost a foregone conclusion. Even if he didn't make up his mind, the others would not be willing to be here, and Guo Jing could only try his best to organize them.

     "Let Guoer come over, I have something to tell him!" Looking at Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang who were about to go out, Guo Jing said. Hearing this, the two of them took the order and left. After a while, Yang Guo came over and faced Guo Jing and Huang Rong with Guo Polu and Zhang Junbao.

      Looking at the three people in front of him, Guo Jing and Huang Rong felt relieved. Needless to say, Yang Guo, the son-in-law, was a little fickle, but his martial arts and character were trustworthy. It was also true that his eldest daughter was entrusted to him. As for Guo Polu, although he did not think the same as the two under the guidance of Fang Zhixing, he had already practiced his behavior and did not need to worry about them. The only thing they were worried about now was his younger daughter Guo Xiang.

     "Junbao, have you heard of your senior sister in the past few years?" Huang Rong asked Zhang Junbao. Ten years ago, Guo Xiang, Zhang Junbao and Hong Lingbo went north together, and accidentally encountered some people from the world who defected to the Mongols. Fortunately, Master Jueyuan rescued him, so he escaped safely. After that, the three of them stayed in Shaolin for a while and went to Zhongnan Mountain, Chixia Village and other places. When they came back, only Zhang Junbao was left. Everyone knew where Hong Lingbo was going, but there was almost no news. Huang Rong was naturally extremely worried.

     Zhang Junbao heard this and replied, "Just just about to report to my aunt that Kunlun sent a letter to fellow Taoist He a few days ago, saying that he met Senior Sister Guo in the Western Regions a few years ago. The letter said that Senior Sister Guo had come down from the Great Snow Mountain and went to Tubo from the Western Regions. He heard that Senior Sister's martial arts have improved greatly and has made many friends. If she could get news from Xiangyang in Tubo, she should have been on the way to come, and her aunt would soon be able to see her."

    "That's good! That's good!" After hearing this news, Huang Rong's long-standing concern finally let go of some. Among the children, Guo Fu and Guo Polu had already started a family, and the one she was most worried about was Guo Xiang, the youngest daughter. When Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang came to Xiangyang together, Huang Rong had matched them, but although the relationship was quite close, they were still a little worse from falling in love. Later, after arriving in Shaolin, Guo Xiang read many Buddhist scriptures and began to become interested in the Buddhism left by King Jinlun, and went north to Daxue Mountain to find the Vajra Sect. As for Zhang Junbao, he stayed in Zhongnan Mountain for a while, and then traveled south, and finally realized the truth in Wudang, and his martial arts were accomplished. Fang Zhixing presided over the official monk and practiced Taoism. It can only be said that there is a fate without separation, which makes people feel regretful. (To be continued)
