The Heavens: Apprenticeship to Little Dragon Girl at the beginning

Chapter 72 The World Situation

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

If it is placed in a time when there are no wars and conflicts in normal times, the leader of the martial arts alliance will at most be famous among many martial arts figures and gain a reputation, and he will not have much power at all.

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

If he becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance now, he can not only call countless martial arts figures in Xiangyang City to order the heroes, but also can temporarily collect supplies and form militias and other things.

With this kind of power, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has become the local emperor of Xiangyang.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

Once he assumes the position of official martial arts leader, he 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 Guangdong 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 Great Song Dynasty. If the Mongolian cavalry want to attack the Central Plains on a large scale, Xiangyang City is the place they must attack.

It can be said that Xiangyang City is now the throat fortress of the entire Song Dynasty territory.

Although Xiangyang City has the advantage of natural danger and is the defender of the city, the Southern Song Dynasty has been weak for many years, and there are not many soldiers defending the city in the city.

On the other hand, the Song Dynasty was as fearful as a tiger, and the Kingdom of Jin, which already had millions of troops, was completely wiped out by Mongolia in just 23 years.

With such enemies in the Southern Song Dynasty, one can imagine how much military pressure it had, and luck was not on the side of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the original book, although Guo Jing and Huang Rong defended Xiangyang City for many years, they were finally torn open by Mongolian soldiers and broke through the city.

The torrent of history is rolling forward, how can one person be able to be a cart when the country is destroyed and the people are destroyed?Although Guo Jing was a hero of the generation, he couldn't stop the torrent of the times and fate.

Therefore, Li Yuan didn't really want to be the leader of martial arts.

First of all, he likes freedom, and being in a high position is bound to be bound.

Secondly, he really didn't have the experience and ability to lead troops in battle. Even if he became the leader of the martial arts alliance, he might not be able to do better than Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Although he had watched some war-related film and television works in his previous life, and played some war-related games, he had almost zero experience on the battlefield.

He may be able to talk about it on paper, but it is a completely different matter to actually lead troops on the battlefield and plan as a whole.

In the end, it is possible to be self-defeating and defeat Xiangyang City to the Mongols in advance.

Li Yuan is quite self-aware.

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

This caught Li Yuan a little off guard.

After many excuses, Huang Rong saw Li Yuan's attitude was a bit conflicted, so she smiled and said, "Young man Li Yuan, this matter is not urgent now. The hero conference will last for a few more days, we can slowly discuss this matter." Discuss, I think it's getting late today, why don't I arrange a room first, and you go to rest first?"

"Alright, then thank you Mrs. Huang."

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

Huang Rong was the first to ask Guo Jing, "Brother Jing, what do you think of this Li Yuan?"

Guo Jing directly praised: "You are young and promising, but you don't make rash advances, and you are not moved by high positions. Compared with me back then, I am several times better than me."

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

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

At least Li Yuan's performance has surpassed his peers countless times.

"Furthermore, 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 personality."

Guo Jing nodded: "Well, master, although he has a casual personality, those who teach martial arts must have been screened by him. In terms of character, Li Yuan has had a guarantee, so I can rest assured. However, he seems not willing. Stay in Xiangyang City for a long time, and be the leader of this martial arts alliance."

"I didn't expect that the position that everyone in the rivers and lakes are chasing after is so worthless in the eyes of this young man. Or, he has already seen the weakness of Xiangyang City, and it is difficult 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 Fawang alone. He didn't have any timidity towards the Mongols in his eyes. This is strange."

Guo Jing smiled wryly and said, "Then let me persuade him again. After all, now that Xiangyang City has a young hero like him as the leader of the martial arts alliance, the morale of the martial arts people in the Central Plains will increase a lot."

Li Yuan's performance today has been recognized by the people, and taking advantage of the momentum to be the leader of the martial arts at this time will definitely raise the momentum in the city to a higher level.

But Huang Rong thought for a while and said, "Brother Jing, let me try to persuade you. You are too straightforward, which will inevitably make Li Yuan unhappy. I'll go test it first and see if there is a chance to talk."

Guo Jing also knew that Huang Rong's thoughts were meticulous, so he nodded, "That's how it is."

Li Yuan and Xiaolongnv were arranged in the upper-class rooms in the villa.

The usually quiet little dragon girl asked Li Yuan out loud.

She asked in a low voice: "Yuan'er, you didn't become the leader of the martial arts because of the ancient tomb?"

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

"Mongolia is powerful. I wait for the Central Plains martial arts people to form a large army. Although they can resist for a while, it will not last long. Moreover, there is an essential difference between fighting on the battlefield and fighting with people in the martial arts. I am not from a military background. For all kinds of troops fighting, the battlefield I don't know much about the means of fighting the enemy. Once I am the leader of the martial arts and guide the people from the rivers and lakes to fight on the battlefield, then it will be tragic. It is better to let Guo Jing and Huang Rong be the masters and let them guard, but the effect will be more effective good."

Going to the battlefield is not a joke. A command error may cause thousands of deaths in an instant.

Li Yuan never does anything he is not sure about.

Xiaolongnv chatted with Li Yuan in detail for a while, and after confirming that it was not because of the ancient tomb that Li Yuan resigned as the leader of the martial arts alliance, Xiaolongnu felt relieved.

The moon was scarce, 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 whispered inquiry came from outside the door.

"Young Master Li Yuan, can you rest?"
