Chapter 72 The situation in the world

Guo Jing and Huang Rong held a martial arts conference to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance. Moreover, it was on the eve of the Mongolian army's attack on Xiangyang City, so this position was naturally not a sinecure.

If there were no wars and conflicts in peacetime, the leader of the martial arts alliance would only be famous among many martial arts people for a while, and would not have much power at all.

But to serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance at this juncture when the Mongolian army is about to invade Xiangyang City represents the righteousness of serving the country and the people.

If you become the leader of the martial arts alliance now, you can not only call on countless martial arts people in Xiangyang City to give orders to the heroes, but you can even temporarily collect supplies and form a militia.

With this kind of power, it is not an exaggeration to say that he suddenly became the emperor of Xiangyang.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

Once you assume the position of official leader of the martial arts alliance, you must lead the heroes to resist the attack of the Mongolian army.

Xiangyang City is located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Xiangyang can take Chengdu and Chang'an to the west, the two lakes and Guangxi to the south, the Central Plains to the north, and Jiankang along the river to the east.

Xiangyang City is located on the boundary line of Mongolia's attack on the Song Dynasty. If the Mongolian cavalry wants to launch a large-scale attack on the Central Plains, Xiangyang City is the place they must attack.

It can be said that Xiangyang City is now the chokepoint of the entire Song Dynasty.

Although Xiangyang City has the natural advantage of being vulnerable to terrain and can defend the city, the Southern Song Dynasty has been weak for many years and there are not many soldiers in the city to defend the city.

Looking at its opponents, the Jin Kingdom, which the Song Dynasty once feared like a tiger and already had an army of millions, was completely defeated by the Mongols in just twenty-three years.

The Southern Song Dynasty had such an enemy. You can imagine how great the military pressure was. Luck was not on the side of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the original work, although Guo Jing and Huang Rong defended Xiangyang City for many years, the Mongolian soldiers and horses finally tore open the city gate and breached the city.

The torrent of history is rolling forward, and when a country is destroyed and people are destroyed, how can one person be able to use a mantis as a chariot? Although Guo Jing is a hero of the generation, he cannot stop the torrent of the times and destiny.

Therefore, Li Yuan did not really want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance.

First of all, he likes freedom, and he must be restrained when he is in a high position.

Secondly, he does not have the experience or ability to lead troops in combat. Even if he becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, he may not be able to do better than Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Although he had watched some movies and TV shows about war and played some war-related games in his previous life, his experience on the battlefield was almost zero.

He might be able to talk about it on paper, but actually leading troops on the battlefield and making overall plans is a completely different matter.

In the end, it may be self-defeating and the city of Xiangyang will be defeated by the Mongols in advance.

Li Yuan is quite self-aware.

But the more he refused, the more Guo Jing and Huang Rong praised him and wanted to elect Li Yuan as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

This caught Li Yuan a little off guard.

After many refusals, Huang Rong saw that Li Yuan's attitude was a bit contradictory, so she smiled and said: "Young hero Li Yuan, this matter is not urgent right now. The Heroes Conference will continue for a few days, we can slowly deal with this matter.

Let’s discuss, I think it’s getting late today, why don’t I arrange a private room first, and you guys go and have some rest first?”

"That's fine. Thanks a lot, Mrs. Huang."

After arranging for the maid to take Li Yuan and Xiao Longnu to the wing, Guo Jing started discussing with Huang Rong again.

Huang Rong took the lead and asked Guo Jing: "Brother Jing, what do you think of Li Yuan?"

Guo Jing directly praised: "I am young and promising, but I am not aggressive and I am not moved by high positions. Compared with me back then, I am many times better."

Hearing what Guo Jing said, Huang Rong also had some agreement in her eyes.

In today's short one-day contact, Li Yuan was impeccable in terms of appearance, martial arts, and demeanor.

At least Li Yuan's performance has exceeded that of his peers countless times.

"Moreover, he can be recognized by our master Hong Qigong and inherit the essence of martial arts. Presumably he is not a treacherous person, and there is absolutely no problem with his character."

Guo Jing nodded: "Well, Master, although he has a casual personality, the people who teach martial arts must have been screened by him. In terms of character, Li Yuan has a son to vouch for it, so I can rest assured. However, he doesn't seem to be willing.

Stay in Xiangyang City for a long time and become the leader of this martial arts alliance."

"I didn't expect that the position that everyone in the world is eager to turn out to be so worthless in the eyes of this young man. Or maybe he has seen the weakness of Xiangyang City and is unable to defeat the cavalry of the Mongolian army? That's why he is unwilling to take this position?"

After Huang Rong said this, she frowned: "But it's not right to say that. Today he took action against the three masters and disciples of Jinlun Dharma King alone, and there was no timidity towards the Mongols in his eyes. This is strange."

Guo Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Then let me persuade him again. After all, now that there is a young hero like him in Xiangyang City as the leader of the martial arts alliance, the morale of the martial arts people in the Central Plains will be much higher."

Li Yuan's performance today has been recognized by people. Taking advantage of the momentum to serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance at this time will definitely raise the momentum in the city to a higher level.

But Huang Rong thought for a while and then said: "Brother Jing, it's better for me to persuade you. You speak too bluntly, which will inevitably make Li Yuan unhappy. I will test it first and see if there is a chance before talking."

Guo Jing also knew that Huang Rong was thoughtful, so he nodded: "That's it."

Li Yuan and Xiao Longnu were arranged in a superior wing in the villa.

Xiao Longnu, who had always been quiet, suddenly asked about Li Yuan.

She asked in a low voice: "Yuan'er, is it because of the matter about the ancient tomb that you don't want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

Li Yuan naturally shook his head and told Xiao Longnu his true thoughts.

"Mongolia is strong. We and the martial arts people from the Central Plains have formed a large army. Although we can resist for a while, it will never last long. Moreover, there is an essential difference between battlefield combat and martial arts people fighting. I am not a military strategist.

I know very little about the enemy's methods. Once I am asked to be the leader of the martial arts alliance and guide the people to fight on the battlefield, it will be tragic. It is better to let Guo Jing and Huang Rong make the decision and let them guard it, which will be more effective.

good."

Going to the battlefield is no joke. A single command error can lead to the death of thousands or hundreds of people in an instant.

Li Yuan never does anything he is unsure of.

Xiao Longnu chatted with Li Yuan in detail for a while, and after confirming that it was not because of the ancient tomb that Li Yuan had resigned from the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, Xiao Longnu felt relieved.

The moon was sparse, so she went back to her room to rest.

But just when Li Yuan was about to check the results of his mission, Huang Rong's quiet inquiry came from outside the door.

"Master Li Yuan, can you take a rest?"
