The Villain's Counterattack

Yang Kang knew history well, but in this illusory world, many strange changes seemed to have taken place over time. The Jin Dynasty was still extremely powerful, and Mongolia had been under the oppression of the Jin Dynasty. In real history, it took 28 years for Mongolia to unify and destroy the Jin Dynasty, but this illusory world seemed to be different.

Based on Guo Jing's age, the Mongol unification was still several years away. It seems that the unification took place when Guo Jing was sixteen, and he arrived in the Central Plains at seventeen. He then assisted the Mongol expeditions against Khwarezm and Western Xia, and then defeated the Jin Dynasty and avenged his demise. However, the Jin Dynasty was vast, and even the Mongols, even at their peak strength, could not have destroyed it in such a short time. Although this was also due to the Jin Dynasty's own actions, it was not the Jin Dynasty itself that was responsible.

Yang Kang thought to himself that he and Guo Jing were the same age, just a little younger. Guo Jing came to the Central Plains at the age of seventeen, so his martial arts skills would certainly not be higher than his. By then, he would probably be only slightly behind the Five Greatest Swordsmen in the World, or even exactly the same. Wang Chongyang had agreed that the second Huashan Sword Meeting would be held twenty-five years later. He then stayed in Dali for a while and died a few years after returning.

Zhou Botong hid from place to place with the "Nine Yin Scriptures" and finally arrived at Peach Blossom Island, where half of the scripture was tricked away. It was also because of this half of the "Nine Yin Scriptures" that his wife Feng Heng was killed. At that time, Huang Rong had just been born. She was about fifteen years old when she appeared, and it was only a few years before the Huashan Sword Contest.

According to this calculation, Guo Jing was about 23 or 24 years old when he participated in the Huashan Sword Contest. How could the Western Xia and Jin Dynasties have been destroyed in just three to five years? Moreover, Huang Rong was able to hide in Guo Jing's army and avoid Ouyang Feng for two to three years. This is a bit exaggerated.

According to the original novel, he should have died in the Iron Spear Temple at the age of only twenty. Then Guo Jing began to help Mongolia to destroy everywhere. This time he could not let history repeat itself. The high-level officials of the Jin Dynasty were really enough. They were obviously greatly weakened, but they still offended people everywhere and were eventually annexed by Mongolia.

After unification, the Mongolian territory was no smaller than that of the Jin Dynasty, but it was more desolate and vast. The hardships of life made them tenacious, which was similar to the previous Jurchens. The current Jin Dynasty was like the Liao Dynasty of the past.

It's another reincarnation. Just as what I and King Ruyang said in the last world, time has been in a cycle. It's a pity that the Jin Dynasty relied on corrupt scholars and gradually declined. Now that I'm here, I can't let history repeat itself. At least I can't let Mongolia conquer the Jin Dynasty so easily and threaten the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Han civilization had been severely destroyed once in the last world. What I saw was the world after the destruction. However, this world wanted me to watch it being destroyed again. As a Han Chinese, I absolutely cannot agree to this!

The Jin Dynasty could use its power to counter the Mongols. As long as the Jin Dynasty was not destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty would be safe. But could a mere prince like me, a pure Han Chinese without royal blood, gain the trust of the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty?

In the end, it all depends on Wanyan Honglie. The King of Zhao cannot fall, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

But he is the murderer of the protagonist Guo Jing's father, and this knot cannot be untied. In this way, he cannot get the "Wu Mu Testament". But as he thought about it, he found that history was almost repeating itself.

"How annoying!" Yang Kang stomped his feet fiercely and decided to take it one step at a time. At worst, he could move Japan's Iwami Ginzan to divert attention and find a retreat route first. The Mongolian cavalry and archery were unparalleled, but the navy was really no match.

"Kang'er, what are you worried about here so early in the morning?" Wanyan Honglie laughed heartily, and it was his customary practice to come and please Bao Xiruo.

Yang Kang scratched his head and said, "I'm currently practicing martial arts, but the pace of my training is too slow. That's why I thought of medicinal food. But it's not easy to make, and it's also very expensive."

Wanyan Honglie laughed heartily. "I was wondering what the big deal was. Our Great Jin Kingdom is vast, and Liaoxi is rich in precious medicinal herbs. There are countless people in the Central Capital, not to mention the imperial physicians in the palace. Everyone has their own special skills. This shouldn't be difficult. Father will help you solve it. How is your mother feeling today?"

Yang Kang shook his head and said, "I don't know why I was just busy cleaning that broken gun, but it's not a good idea."

Wanyan Honglie's face darkened slightly. He patted Yang Kang on the shoulder and led him away, instructing his men to gather the recipes and herbs for the medicinal food and bath. Since his son wanted it, why not satisfy him? It wasn't a big deal. Wanyan Honglie was skilled in archery and horsemanship, and a veteran of the battlefield, but he wasn't proficient in martial arts. His brain was more useful than his limbs.

Yang Kang took the opportunity to ask to learn military tactics and military books, and Wanyan Honglie also satisfied him, which made Yang Kang very happy. Alas, he had no one who could be used, so he had to go into battle alone. How should he deal with the cavalry archers? He wondered if there were any successors to the Mohist mechanical techniques at this time.

Taking the opportunity to collect a large number of prescriptions, Yang Kang identified them one by one with the help of Ping Yizhi and Hu Qingniu's medical skills. There were indeed many good things, so he began to practice "Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill". His internal skills were still based on "Nine Yin Scriptures" and "Quanzhen Dao Song", his palm skills were still "Turning Sky Palm", and his hidden weapons were both based on Silver Feather Arrow and Finger Magic Skill. However, he fell behind in "One Yang Finger". There were really too many good things to learn and he couldn't learn them all.

Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie found a number of martial arts manuals for Yang Kang to choose from, including the Tantric "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra," which shocked Yang Kang greatly. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that only the first ten levels were included, which made him realize that the Tantric sect had kept this secret. However, this meant that he had too many external martial arts to practice: "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art," "Heaven-Flipping Palm," and "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra." Each one required steady practice and was extremely resource-intensive.

After careful study, Yang Kang decided to pursue both simultaneously. While the Sky-Flipping Palm was merely a technique he had already mastered, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and the Dragon Elephant Prajnaparamita Art seemed to be both Buddhist techniques. He wondered if they would complement each other, so he decided to give them a try. Yang Kang was no fool. Before practicing, he had carefully read the relevant Buddhist texts. While he hadn't thoroughly studied the Dragon Elephant Prajnaparamita Art, he had at least a basic understanding of it.

The "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" is divided into two parts, one is the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu and the other is the Prajna Kung Fu. The two parts complement each other and go hand in hand to be like a fish in water. The realm is also very important. In the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, Yang Kang read all the scriptures of Shaolin and asked the monks of Zhongdu to answer his questions. It took him three months to master it and then he began to practice the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu".

Since deciding to devote himself to martial arts, Yang Kang's life has become incredibly busy. Wanyan Honglie even selected a dozen children of Yang Kang's age from the families of his loyal subordinates to play with him, making them his trusted subordinates. Yang Kang was naturally delighted to have a dozen more playmates. Since he didn't have anyone available, he decided to train a few himself.

The "Indestructible Vajra Art" cannot be passed on to outsiders, but the iron vest that he had improved before has no such restriction. Forget about the sword technique, that thing has many limitations on the battlefield, and the knife technique is the best choice. Anyway, the Liangyi knife technique has been passed on, and they can practice it slowly. As for internal skills, the basic Shaolin internal skills are most suitable.

More than a dozen children began their miserable martial arts career. In addition to swordsmanship and internal strength, they had to practice archery and horsemanship with Yang Kang, and were even forced to read and write. Not to mention other things, they found arithmetic very difficult to learn, but they also gained a lot.

After returning home, Wanyan Honglie's loyal subordinates carefully inquired about what they had learned. They learned that in addition to martial arts and archery, they also had to read and write. They were overjoyed and became even more loyal to Wanyan Honglie. At the same time, they gave strict orders to them to work hard and not miss such an opportunity.

In the minds of these rough people, those who can read and write are superior to others, and that is all they will live through in their lives. However, their children naturally cannot miss such an opportunity, as it may give them the opportunity to become generals or ministers in the future.

If Yang Kang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say, you are overthinking it, they can only be generals and will definitely not take the path of civil servants, those sour scholars will look for them among the failed students themselves, there are as many such people as you want, they are his personal guards, and the future team, they all need to lead troops and fight.
