Chapter 116: Convergence
Liao Jingzong died three years ago, and the 30-year-old Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan put her 12-year-old eldest son Yelu Longxu on the throne and became regent herself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and then appointed Yelu Xiuge to guard Youzhou, Song Taizong was defeated by Yelu Xiuge during the first Northern Expedition.
After Yelu Hugo arrived in Youzhou, he began the policy of recuperation, that is, to make the people's lives better, and strengthened the discipline and management of the army, and strictly prohibited disturbing the people during strict training.
Therefore, when Xiaoyan and Pan Kai left Xiongzhou and marched to Youzhou, they did not see the miserable situation of the people's poor life, and the Han and Khitan people got along quite well. This is simply a big surprise to the small eyes and Pan Kaizhi, "The Liao people should not be underestimated!"
The little eye can conclude that the Empress Dowager Xiao is not an ordinary person, and she has a sense of powerlessness for the first time in the redemption strategy, such a wise person will sell land? Thank God if she does not expand her territory!
Pan Kai strengthened his determination to go on the Northern Expedition, "Song Liao must have a battle!"
Although Xiaoyan didn't understand politics, he saw Liao's management of Yanyun's sixteen states, and he also knew that Liao's plans were very big, so he sighed and said: "The people's minds are stable. "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people have been looking forward to peace for a long time, and now that the Liao State is in such a state, the official family will go on a northern expedition, and the people of Youzhou will definitely scold their mother, scold the mother of the official family!
"Are all the princes of the Liao Kingdom eating? They actually let the 12-year-old little emperor sit firmly!" The little eyes couldn't help muttering, how good it is to have civil strife!
Pan Kai really wanted to say, do you think everyone is a Taizu? It's too disrespectful, so I put up with it.
Because what they saw and felt was very different from the previous cognition, Xiaoyan and Pan Kai slowed down the trip, slowly inspected the people's livelihood, and said to the outside world that they were cousins, going to Youzhou to find relatives, and they didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.
Pan Kai said to Xiaoyan early, because everyone rides good horses, if the Liao people want to rob it, let it go, I don't want to, I didn't meet anyone along the way to beat their horses, which made Pan Kai and Xiaoyan can't tell what it feels like.
Pan Kai and Xiaoyan, who had knocked over the five-flavor bottle in their hearts, slowed down their pace like this, and only walked halfway before they were caught up by Banniang and his party.
You must know that Banniang and the others are each three horses to ride, day and night to hurry, Banniang's riding skills are the weakest in it, but even if you take a nap on horseback, you won't fall down, so naturally you will chase the little eyes and Pan Kai who are walking slowly.
Yang Dayang's horse took the lead, and the wind swept through the little eyes that were leading the horse to play on the side of the road...
Yang Sanyang followed closely, staring straight ahead, in a hurry!
Jiuniang was in the third, her eyes swept away, swept Pan Kai's horse, "whew", pulled the reins, the horse's hooves rose into the air, and made a few circles in place.
Banniang followed behind Jiu Niang, and when she saw that Jiu Niang came to a sudden brake, she hurriedly followed the reins, and almost rear-ended, but fortunately, the horse reacted fast enough, and it was worthy of being selected by herself!
Banniang opened her mouth and said Jiu Niang: "Jump when you see the pit, stop what!, little eyes!
Jiu Niang's face turned green, so she said that she couldn't call someone a nickname in private, but if she was not careful, she would advertise it widely!
The five men in the back had dismounted, and were about to go forward to see if there was anything wrong with the two little ladies, when they heard the eight niangs shouting, they were busy going to see the four people leading the horses on the side of the road.
Pan Kai looked at the little eyes carefully, pretending not to hear Banniang's shouting, it was really not good to expose the shortness, but he saw the little eyes throw down the reins, and quickly ran towards Banniang, cheering!
"It's really you!" Banniang jumped off the horse and also ran towards the little eye, the two ran closer, both braked at the same time, laughed at each other, the little eye smiled and said, and tried to open his eyes wide: "So fast!"
Baniang tsk, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I've lost weight!"
Little Eyes smiled, "I didn't rest well some time ago, so I lost weight!
Banniang didn't want to chat, the joy of the reunion disappeared in an instant, and she turned her head and said to Pan Sanyang, who followed behind, "Hard work!"
Jiuniang chuckled softly at the little eyes, "You should say that she is thinner, hehe" and then said loudly to Pan Sanlang, "Third Brother Pan!"
Pan Kai nodded at Jiu Niang.
Da Yang Sanyang also returned at this time, hurriedly dismounted, and saluted one by one.
"You didn't sneak away, did you?" the little eyes muttered to Banniang, "I sneaked away." ”
Jiu Niang couldn't help it, rolled her eyes, and of course, she still twisted her head very carefully, so that Pan Kai could take a look!
Jiu Niang immediately smirked...
Banniang glared at Xiao Yan, "I'm embarrassed to say! I'm tired of us!" and then complained to Pan Kai, "What do you think, just go by yourself, why do you pull him?"
Xiao Yan's letter to Ban Niang did not explain the cause and effect in detail, so Banniang and others always thought that Xiao Yan was conspiring with Pan Kai.
Little Eyes hurriedly told everyone how smart he was, how he could endure hardships, and how sharp his eyes were, the point was that Banniang said, what he said was an exaggeration, and he was stunned to say that he was napping on horseback at night and was thrown off by the horse more than 40 times, and his head was swollen...
Shuangshou silently calculated, three times and more than forty times, how much is the difference in the middle? uh, I can't study well, don't count, don't count...
Not only Banniang, but also Da Yang and others were in awe of the little eyes.
"Sure enough, people can't be disguised. Jiu Niang muttered.
"What do you mean?" the little eyes immediately stared at Jiu Niang.
Banniang said to the little eyes, "I just thought that you were pampered and couldn't endure hardship, but we all looked away, you are too impressive!"
The little eyes shook his head, "That's it, it's not that I can't endure hardship, but I see whether it's worth it!"
"Why is your horse so thin?" Banniang asked Little Eye, Little Eye doesn't ride a horse much, so he doesn't have a fixed mount, but the horses raised by the palace are all good horses.
"Didn't change horses. Pan Kai explained.
"Huh?" Banniang Jiuniang was stunned, and when she thought about it, she was lucky that she could manage the mount with her small eyes and Shuangshou's riding skills, how could she still have the energy to look at a few more horses!
"Go back and give me these two horses!" Banniang was unceremonious, this unsightly horse hides merit and fame, and it's too wasteful to follow the little eyes!
"Okay, I'll give it to you now, anyway, you brought a lot of horses!" Xiao Yan responded without hesitation, Pan Kai looked at Xiao Yan incredulously, Pan Hu went to look at Shuangshou, Shuangshou bowed his head...
"Didn't you promise to me?" Pan Kai couldn't hold back, he had already spoken, and King Shou also agreed.
"What are you fighting for with the little lady, there are still in my house, you can choose. "The little eyes and face are not red, Pan Kai choked...
"When they have a foal, I'll give you one. Banniang hurriedly showed generosity, "Two horses, oops, four horses!"
Pan Kai met these two cheeky people, what else could he say, he could only nod, otherwise, maybe there would be no second generation!
"What do you call them?" Banniang then asked about the arrangement of everyone's identity.
Both of them are ranked third, and it is impossible for one person to be called the third brother and the other to be called the third brother.
Pan Kai is now called Zhao Kai, the little eyes are called Li Heng, Pan Kai calls him the third brother, and the two are cousins.
Everyone discussed it, Yang Dayang and his entourage played the banner of the dart bureau, the authentic Song people, who came to Liao to transport darts, and the small box and Ba Niang and Jiu Niang were very, very valuable darts, and Jiu Niang's hammer was on the back of Da Yan's horse.
Now they simply said that they had small eyes, and they also let the dart bureau ensure their safety on the way to find their relatives.
Xiaoyan nodded hurriedly and said, "Banniang is my daughter-in-law, and Jiuniang is my sister-in-law!"
Banniang gritted her teeth, "Relatives!"
Little Eye stuck out his tongue, "Oh!"
So Banniang and Jiuniang became the cousin with small eyes.
Let's go to Youzhou to find my uncle, and if you can't find it in Youzhou, you go to Beijing!
Yang Dayang wanted to persuade Xiaoyan to turn around, but Xiaoyan resolutely refused, so he had no choice but to send someone back to deliver the letter, saying that everyone had converged, please rest assured in China.
Then, the group slowly marched towards Youzhou.
"Didn't you say that the Liao people didn't allow them to farm the land, forcing the Han people to raise sheep? Why is there so much land?" Passing by a small Zhuangzi, the little eyes were indignant, the spies were so hateful, how could they spread false information!
"Our border people often buy grain from the Han people in Liao. "Yang Dayun is very strange why the little eyes think so, everyone at the border knows it, especially in the east, there is a flat river in the territory of Daliao, but there are many mountains in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is not much food to grow.
Yang Sanyang also said, "The Liao people are forcing the Han people to raise sheep, but they are all from the north, and now they are rarely heard of. ”
Small eyes... Why did you hear it differently? Hurriedly looked at Pan Kai.
Pan Kai coughed, "Third brother doesn't pay much attention to these..."
Well, it seems that he is stupid by himself, and his little eyes are embarrassed... Turning his head to find the old farmer in the field on the side of the road, he chattered, "The harvest is okay? Is the life hard? We came from the Great Song Dynasty and went to Youzhou to find our uncle, and we were a little worried." ”
The border people in the border area interacted a lot, and there were many children and relatives, and the old peasants did not doubt any differences, so they said in a loud voice, "God has opened his eyes, the harvest is not bad! There is no war! Life is fine! Where is it not hard? As long as you are willing to work, you will have food!"
"The people must all support the redemption," the little eyes turned back and whispered to Banniang, "But you see that the Liao State is governing like this, how can you agree, alas, the war is together, and the people have suffered again..."
"Yes, Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering," Banniang also sighed, "So, it's better for everyone to bribe the ghost and reincarnate in a peaceful and prosperous world!"
The little eyes were about to sigh that Banniang's words in front were very reasonable, but they listened to Banniang's words coldly, speechless, "The official family may be able to create a prosperous world?"
"Don't you also say that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State is not a general person, alas, he is born Yu and He Shengliang!" Banniang shook her head, "Even if the Great Song Dynasty only cares about guarding the current territory, it must be agreed by the Liao State, right?"
The little eyes were silent, and after a long time, he said: "I must be filial to Daddy in the future, Daddy is not easy..."
Banniang thought to herself, shouldn't young people be high-spirited, shouldn't they have some bold words at this time? Say some vows to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future? The little eyes are also self-aware, right? Knowing that he doesn't have that ability, he immediately opened his mouth to say filial piety... There is no nonsense at all, and he is really a qualified idle and rich prince...
