Chapter 176: The Edict (II)

Yang Yingqi came out of the General's Mansion and wandered on the road for a long time, and actually came towards the sea. At this time, the night had fallen, but Yang Yingqi's identity was different, and his own naval captain opened the door to lead him and got on Cao Guangbi's boat.

The big ship that Cao Guangbi was on was not the ship of the Han Navy, but a private ship he bought from the Ouyang family. Originally, Ouyang Ji wanted to slap him, so he wanted to give it away for nothing. But Cao Guangbi resolutely refused and must buy it at the market price. This two-masted ship is worth a thousand gold, but Cao Guangbi has a lot of money, so he will not feel difficult to buy ten such big ships - Yang Yingqi's private property has left a corresponding share for several elder brothers, so the generals below Cao Guangbi are all rich.

Cao Guangbi is not very accustomed to living on a ship, but he is not afraid of seasickness like Xiao Tienu, at this time he was frowning, holding a book and reading under the lamp, when he suddenly heard Yang Yingqi coming, and was slightly surprised. When the two met, Cao Guangbi opened his mouth and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Song envoy?" ”

"It's not." Yang Yingqi said: "It's Wanyan Xiyin who is here." ”

"Wanyan Xiyin!" Cao Guangbi sighed and sighed: "The time is finally coming." Did he come to order us to invade the Song Dynasty? ”

"Not yet." Yang Yingqi said: "He wants the eldest brother to go to Dading Mansion to discuss the matter of the Song Dynasty." ”

Cao Guangbi was slightly surprised: "Let the eldest brother go to Dading Mansion?" What is this! Do you want to take your eldest brother hostage? But I didn't make it so obvious. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "He allowed the eldest brother to lead the troops, but the limit could not exceed three thousand. ”

"Three thousand...... Three thousand is enough! Cao Guangbi said: "Now the road from Liaokou to Dadingfu is smooth, there are many forks, and the terrain is also conducive to Mercedes. If there are 3,000 light horsemen, unless a trap is set, it will be difficult to intercept and kill the eldest brother. However, if there are only 3,000 people, the eldest brother can protect himself, and if he wants to attack the Huanglong Mansion in Huining, it will be insufficient in strength. Apparently the Hui Ning had in mind both to reassure us and to keep our forces under their control. From this point of view, Wu begging seems to be quite sincere. ”

Yang Yingqi sighed: "That's right, he is sincere, but he is too sincere, so we have to worry." ”

Cao Guangbi asked, "Has the eldest brother decided to go?" ”

"Hmm."

"Who is he going to take with him?"

"I originally wanted to suggest that the eldest brother and the second brother go together." Yang Yingqi said: "But before I could speak, the eldest brother had already opened his mouth and wanted to take the sixth brother there." ”

Cao Guangbi nodded and said, "The sixth child is very suitable." He goes better than I go. However, since the eldest brother has decided to go, Ying Qi, you still have to be prepared, Liaokou, Dongjin and Haosu Pavilion must enter a semi-alert state, in case the Jurchens have any tricks! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Second brother, are you worried about something?" ”

"Well, I can't say for sure, but it feels a little unnatural." Cao Guangbi said: "But I think that the eldest brother should be able to protect himself." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "My feelings and thoughts are the same as those of the second brother. By the way, second brother, when will you go back to shore? ”

Cao Guangbiqi asked, "Back to the shore?" ”

"Hmm." Yang Yingqi said: "Although Wu begged to buy this time to let the eldest brother go to discuss the matter of the Song Dynasty, the eldest brother did not plan to follow his train of thought. I think this is mostly because the eldest brother is reluctant to let you go. ”

"Are you saying that the eldest brother is ready to disobey?"

"I don't know if it's disobedience, but at least it's a relatively gentle compromise." Yang Yingqi said: "The eldest brother is ready to fight for Zongwang to only take Yanjing Road. Then we will help Zong Han take the land of the Xixia Hetao and help the tart lazy to run the desert in exchange. If that's the case, can you not go, second brother? ”

Cao Guangbi groaned: "In this way, the eldest brother does not plan to act in accordance with the decision of the Yuan Minmin Conference. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Our decision at the Yuanbu People's Conference also said that we invaded from Jinnan when all methods could not make Huining change his mind. It's not like saying anything and just obeying without trying! Now that there's room to turn around, we have to try it first. ”

Cao Guangbi shook his head and said, "I'm not very optimistic about this matter. Zong Wang is just that, maybe he will really promise to stop if he wins Yanjing for the time being. But on Zong Han's side, I'm afraid that a river loop will not satisfy his appetite. As for tartlax, it is even more impossible to agree! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "There are many things that we didn't think were impossible at first? As a result, I did not succeed, too. ”

Cao Guangbi just shook his head and said, "If the boss can really get this result, then I won't leave." But I'm still not optimistic. The relationship between us and Huining is so stiff that it will be difficult to ease down unless we make major concessions or divert everyone's anger. Now that the Han people are unwilling to make a big concession, the remaining choice is either to directly raise troops and fight, or to direct the troubles to the Great Song Dynasty to buffer the relationship between the two sides - I can't think of a third way. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If you raise troops now, I am afraid that the construction achievements of southern Liaoning over the years will be ruined!" ”

"I know that, too. Therefore, the result of the vote of the Yuan Ministry's National Assembly may be the most correct. Cao Guangbi sighed: "I estimate that it will be difficult for the eldest brother to get the results he wants this time." But he has this heart, and I'm already very touched. ”

The two brothers talked until the middle of the moon, and Yang Yingqi got off the boat and rushed back to the city at night. Before he arrived at the Seven Generals' Mansion, he saw Chen Zhenghui's deputy hurriedly come and said, "Seven Generals! Oh no! Song Envoy and Lord Wanyan Xiyin have a quarrel! ”

Yang Yingqi exclaimed: "Troublesome? How did they come across a piece to go? ”

Although Wanyan Xiyin and Ma Kuo both lived in the post house, their treatment was not the same: Wanyan Xiyin was an envoy sent from the capital of the "country", representing Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin State, so he lived in Fengtianyu in the west and south of the city; Ma Kuo was the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, although the Song and Jin were allies, and the Song and Han cultures and races were also closer, but they were administratively foreign after all, so they lived in Huaiyuanyu in the north of the west of the city. The two places are separated by a few streets, how could Wanyan Xiyin and Ma Kuo make a fuss?

Yang Yingqi asked carefully to know that Ma Kuo asked to go to Gushan Temple in the evening to offer incense, although the Han Department planned to refuse his canonization, but did not restrain him too much, and the official in charge of Huaiyuanyu sent someone to "escort" him. Ma Kuo was active in the Gushan Temple for a long time, and when he saw that the presiding masters of the Gushan Temple did not dare to pay attention to him, he also guessed the whereabouts of the Han Department, so he stepped on the moon and returned.

At this time, the business of Jinmen has been quite developed, and the prosperous area of Gushan Temple also has business at night, and the lights are bright all the way, just like the Bianliang night market. Ma Kuo has been to Jinmen more than once, but the night market in Jinmen is the first time he has seen it, and he has a lot of feelings for a while, so he is not in a hurry. When he was lamenting the civilization of Jinmen, a few horsemen suddenly rushed over and almost knocked him down! Ma Kuo blamed him at that time, and immediately the man stopped when he heard that someone dared to provoke him, and looked at each other, the two turned out to be old acquaintances - Ma Kuo made Jin Guo I don't know how many times, where would Wanyan Xiyin not recognize him?

It is very normal for Wanyan Xiyin to come to Jinmen, and it is a little strange for Ma Kuo to appear here, so he stopped Ma and sneered at the moment, and asked Ma Kuo what he was doing in Dajin again!

Ma Kuo's heart moved, and he said casually: "This place was the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty and the Anton Protectorate in ancient times, and now it is where the Han Department is located, I haven't heard that it has anything to do with Dajin!" ”

Yang Yingqi secretly complained when he heard this, and said in his heart: "You don't look at the time when you sow discord!" The high-level Han people were not afraid of offending the Zhao and Song regimes, but they did not want to complain against the Great Song scholars, so although Zhi Yanchong saw that the Song envoy was insincere this time, he still held the idea of "treating him with courtesy and treating him with courtesy". Now Ma Kuo openly said such things to Wanyan Xiyin who came to proclaim the edict on the streets of Jinmen, isn't this forcing the Han Ministry to ask him for his guilt?

Yang Yingqi asked: "What happened later?" ”

When Lord Xi Yin heard this, he was furious, and he drew his sword to kill Lord Ma, who knew that Lord Ma did not show weakness, and even drew his sword to greet him. Lord Chen Zhenghui and his subordinates happened to be present at the time, and Lord Chen ordered me to hurry up to find the Seventh General, and he stayed there to deal with it. ”

Yang Yingqi frowned and said: "Although Zhenghui is resourceful, his identity is not enough, I am afraid this matter will be difficult to handle!" Then he ordered the civil servant to lead the way, and hastened to the place where the accident occurred.
