In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", although Guo Jing is a Han Chinese, he grew up under a Mongolian tent since he was a child. Not only did he save Genghis Khan’s life several times, but he also got the admiration of Princess Huazheng by bowing his bow and shooting the big eagle. The Golden Swordsman. After obtaining Wu Mu's suicide note by coincidence, Guo Jing also helped Genghis Khan in his expedition to Huarazim, repeatedly breaking through the strong city, and making a mortal contribution to Mongolia's western conquest.
As we all know, in Mr. Jin Yong’s novels, many characters have historical prototypes, such as Genghis Khan, Qiu Chuji, and Drag Thunder. They are all people who will shine through the ages, and his story about Guo Jing’s army westward expedition is not simply made up!
In history, there is indeed a Han Chinese general named Guo. He grew up in a Mongolian military camp since he was a child and has won the trust of Genghis Khan and his descendants.
was born in a general, and he was born in Huaxian, Shaanxi, and he was a descendant of Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Guo Kan inherited the glorious Guo family from his ancestors, and his grandfather Guo Baoyu and father Guo Dehai were all generals under Genghis Khan for generations. Inheriting his ancestors' shelter and demonstrating the merits of the world, Guo Kan attacked countless cities throughout his life, from the Central Plains all the way to Huarazimo, Cyprus, and even the Mediterranean Sea, laying down a large area for Mongolia.
However, the real "Guo Jing" in history has never done any kind of golden swordsman, nor can he know the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon. His life's magnificent military exploits have nothing to do with Yue Fei's suicide note. Although the novel exaggerates Guo Kan's skills, his experience is even more exciting than Guo Jing!
When Guo Kan was born, the Southern Song Dynasty had been in Lin'an for decades, and the golden men who had abused the Southern Song Dynasty had already gone to the end in Mongolia. Guo Kan's grandfather, Guo Baoyu, was originally the Fenyang county head of the Jin Dynasty. When the Mongolian general Muhuali went south, he led the entire army to surrender to Mongolia.
Guo Kan grew up in a Mongolian military camp. He was pleased by Mu Huali’s general Shi Tianze, adopted as an adopted son, and stayed at home to raise him. Guo Kan has a vigorous skill and extraordinary knowledge since he was a child. He became a centurion at the age of 20. Later, he followed the army to the south and was promoted to the command of the centurion.
Guo Kan served as a forward under the command of Zongwang Xuliewu (grandson of Genghis Khan) in the army. After three years of traveling, he has traveled across the Western Regions, Kashmir Plateau, Amu Darya and Persia.
Among them, when he invaded Persia, Guo Kan used his soldiers like a god, victorious in all battles. He was not arrogant or impetuous. He pursued victories and continued his efforts to capture 128 castles in one go! Since Mongolia's Western Expedition, it has never won such a big victory, and Guo Kan's magnificent military exploits only kicked off the curtain.
Mongolian Army VS Crusade
In the era when the Mongolian Army was marching westward, the Western Crusade was in full swing. One to the west and the other to the east, the sky thunder shook the ground, and the two giants finally collided.
In 1260, Xu Liewu ordered Guo Kan to enter Fulang. The Crusaders were invincible in Eastern Europe, and even the Byzantine Empire collapsed. It was not until they met Guo Kan that the Crusaders had a big deal.
According to Western historical records, Guo Kan captured more than 120 castles. After reaching the coast of the Mediterranean, he turned north and invaded Asia Minor. As in Central Asia, Europeans watched the wind wherever the Mongols went. Wu Dujuan, the leader of a certain knights in Fulang, even shouted: "I dreamed of a god-man yesterday, and today I know it is General Guo!"
If Guo Kan's army continues to attack the city, perhaps the whole of Europe will change drastically. Mongolian cavalry Being able to walk through the Alps forever and occupy the whole of Europe, the history of the world will be completely different. Unfortunately, there is no if... In 1259, the Mongolian great Khan Mengge died violently in the battle of Xiangyang in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is often said in history books that it was a ruin. Hit and die.
In "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Meng Ge died at the hands of Yang Guo, Mongolia fell into chaos, and the siege of Xiangyang was solved. In the real history, the impact of Meng Ge's death was even greater.
Xu Liewu hurriedly withdrew his troops and returned to the country, busy competing with Kublai Khan for the Khan position, so Guo Kan naturally led his troops back to China. This is the farthest place the Chinese have ever hit-but it can only end here. After the withdrawal of
, the Crusaders recharged, consolidated their rule in Eastern Europe, and completely destroyed the most powerful and dynamic Islamic world in the world at that time. The Mongols, who came fast and went fast, failed to leave a trace on this land. Several yearsLater, when the Mongols made a comeback again, they could no longer shake the European rule.
Guo Kan, as a Han Chinese, led hundreds of thousands of soldiers, plundered the land of Kyushu, and fought all the way to Europe, with 700 cities in Krishna, almost crushing the entire Islamic world and shocking the Christian world! It is a pity that such a great man has not been known for a long time. Even in Jin Yong's novels, he was changed into a "patriot" who devoted himself to the Song Dynasty and died in the battle of Xiangyang.
Guo Jing is a real "chivalrous man, for the country and the people", then later generations, how high he is praised, Guo Kan will be trampled low. But is Guo Kan really a traitor?
When Guo Kan was born, his hometown had been ruled by the Jin Dynasty for more than 90 years. Even his grandfather Guo Baoyu called himself Jinren and moved to Mongolia. Guo Kan was born and raised in Mongolia. He can't speak half a sentence of Chinese or recognize half of Chinese characters. He is a genuine Mongolian. Whether he is going to the west or going to Xiangyang, is this not his justice?
Perhaps, we don’t need to sing praises to this war madman. We just need to remember that hundreds of years ago, there was such a hero who, as a third-class citizen, lay down such a magnificent river and mountains!
