If this unimportant letter was all in Tong Guan's handwriting, Li Yinggu would be suspicious, for fear that someone else would have counterfeited the handwriting. But most of the content of this letter was ghostwritten by the staff, and only the final signature was written by Tong Guan himself - this is reasonable.

After listening to Li Yinggu's words, Luo Xianqi also said: "The adult is a protégé of Master Tong, so I can't be wrong!" ”

Li Yinggu asked again: "Have you ever asked them what they are doing this time?" ”

Luo Xianqi said: "It seems that General Jin Guo has something important to discuss with the adults. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Well, he refuses to say anything about the late leak! Be sure to meet again. ”

Luo Xianqi didn't dare to trust the general of the Jin State at this time, and hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go to his ship, why don't you just invite him ashore?" ”

"I've tried his tone, but the general won't." Li Yinggu said: "He always insisted that 'the alliance between the two countries must be allowed by the other party's court, and no soldier or general can cross the boundary', and he did not dare to make the Jin country bear the name of the alliance for his own convenience!" ”

Li Yinggu felt a pang in his heart: "Even I don't know the terms of the covenant between the two countries, but there is such an article in the covenant that is reasonable. Shen said: "The handover with foreign generals is a major event after all, and it is better to wait for me to explain this matter to the imperial court." ”

Luo Xianqi persuaded: "My lord, this matter naturally has to be reported to the imperial court, but now my lord doesn't even know the intentions of this Ouyang general, how can this chapter be written?" ”

"So what if you say so?"

Luo Xianqi said: "Late life has already thought of a way, adults see if it can be done!" The general refused to go ashore, so we met him in the sea—but not on their ships, but on our ships! ”

"Our ship?" Li Yinggu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Then they will not be afraid of deceit! Well, that's all! Go ahead and do it! ”

This Cangzhou and Liaoguo Nanjing Road are bounded by the river, and the army was originally equipped with two-story warships, which were extremely advanced water weapons in those days! After Xining, the military equipment was abolished, and Luo Xianqi searched all over the border Sanzhai, but there was not even a single usable warship. The Zhizhai of Nigu Village still retains one, but it has been changed into a painting boat for fun! But this matter is urgent, and there is no other way, and borrow this best painting boat, let the slender man pull along the coast to the south, make an appointment, Li Yinggu is afraid of accidents, and transferred thousands of soldiers, hundreds of sampans to surround the painting boat, just waiting for the Ouyang general to come to the appointment.

The time is coming, Li Yinggu was waiting in the painting boat, suddenly there was a commotion outside, Li Yinggu looked out, and saw two sea boats more than twice the size of the double-decker painting boat rushing over, and the surrounding sampans all dispersed, afraid of being knocked over by the waves swinging by the sea boat. Li Yinggu's face changed color in fright, and he hurriedly ordered someone to stop the sea boat! Fortunately, the sea boat didn't know whether it was afraid of running aground or listening to Li Yinggu's shouts, so it stopped two or three miles away, put down a small boat, and carried four or five people. He jumped on the painting boat, and Luo Xianqi at the bow of the boat led in, and said to Li Yinggu: "My lord, this is General Ouyang!" ”

Li Yinggu stepped forward to greet him, Ouyang Shi looked at the painting boat for a while, and said with a smile: "This flower boat is not bad!" But it should be placed in the small river in Suzhou and the West Lake in Hangzhou, but it is nondescript to put it here! ”

Li Yinggu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard it, Luo Xianqi hurriedly came to the round, invited the two of them to the table, and served food and wine. After three rounds of drinking, Li Yinggu asked Ouyang Shi how he knew Master Tong, and Ouyang Shi said: "Da Song and Dajin are good friends, and it was originally a thread drawn by my Han Department!" Tong Taishi is also the head coach of the alliance in the Great Song Dynasty, so he is three points close to us! Although the Fangla Rebellion occurred in Jiangnan last year, it was also shaken overseas! Some thieves rushed into the sea to cause trouble, and I searched along the coast, and met with the forward general of Tong Taishi across the water. Later, letters were exchanged, and I asked him some things, and it was his face; I am fortunate to have lived up to what he asked me to do! Therefore, the friendship is deepening, although we have not met, but we have set up a friendship with mountains and rivers! ”

Li Yinggu didn't actually know the details of these things, but just promised: "I see! ”

After another tour, Ouyang Shi said: "That day in Jiangnan, I made a promise to Master Tong!" I came here today to fulfill my promise. But I don't know if the division of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived? Don't miss the meeting between the two countries! ”

Li Yinggu was taken aback when he heard him ask about the division of the Northern Expedition! How did he know this? I didn't dare to agree, but I just tried to ask: "I don't know what promise the general made at the beginning?" ”

"It's the promise that my Han Ministry will give your country grain and grass!" Ouyang Shi said this, and suddenly exclaimed: "Don't you know these things? ”

Li Yinggu hurriedly said: "This is a big matter, the Taishi has other measures, so ......"

Ouyang Shi interrupted him and said, "I only ask you, do you have a part in the matter of the Maritime Alliance?" ”

Li Yinggu did not dare to deceive: "Although the imperial court has not made a decree to go to Cangzhou......"

"That's gone!" Ouyang Shi said: "If that's the case, it's inconvenient for me to reveal too much to you!" It's really strange, Wang Shizhong is also a Linhai guard, how could he hear about it? Aren't you a protégé of Master Tong? The jurisdiction is the Song-Liao front again! You don't have a share in this! Your military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty are really strange. ”

Li Yinggu told him that he felt uncomfortable, and said: "Since this is the case, I will give the Ming court under the Ming court, and then reply to the general!" ”

Ouyang Shi shook his head and said: "The gift of grain and grass is a private promise between me and your family Master Tong, it can be regarded as a friendship between each other, not from the Jin Kingdom to the Great Song Dynasty, but from me to Master Tong!" In this way, since you are a protégé of Master Tong, it is better for you to repair the book and let Master Tong send someone who is familiar with the affairs of Song and Jin! This matter can be done quickly, my 100,000 stone grain and grass will be almost here, don't have nowhere to unload the grain and grass when it arrives! ”

Li Yinggu exclaimed: "One hundred thousand stones! ”

"yes!" Ouyang Shi seemed to regret what he said, and hurriedly said: "This matter is a military strategy, and it should not be leaked lightly!" ”

Li Yinggu hurriedly said: "This is natural! ”

After the two parted, Ouyang Shi went back first, leaving only a sea ship on standby. Li Yinggu sent his henchmen to hurry up and go to report to Tong Guan.

After the Fangla Rebellion, the imperial court had another controversy over whether to go on the Northern Expedition, and even Emperor Daojun was undecided, almost wanting to cancel the contract. But when things have developed to this point, it is no longer Zhao Ji who wants to stop and stop. It didn't take long for Fang La's scar to heal in the heart of Emperor Daojun, and his ambition to expand the territory came out again, so he ordered Tong Guanfu to be the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and Lianghe, and to lead the Northern Expedition.

Soon after Tong Guan received the order, Li Yinggu's people arrived, Tong Guan was surprised when he heard this, and asked left and right: "Taishi, is there really such a thing?" ”

Tong Guan smiled: "I probably remember this." At the beginning, Ouyang Shi helped us subdue Fang Layu on the beach, and I wrote to him several times. One of them talked about the initial turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was difficult to collect the grain of the Northern Expedition for a while, and he replied vaguely and said that he was willing to help a little. At that time, he didn't say how much he died, but who knew that he would give it 100,000 stones! Rare, rare! ”

Both left and right flattered: "Taishi Hongfu Qitian, the so-called 'soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first'!" This time, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not moved, and someone has transported 100,000 stone grain and grass to Cangzhou for the Taishi! ”

Tong Guan said: "They have hearts, but we can't use cold butts to stick to people's hot faces!" You have to send a competent person to connect, so that the children in Cangzhou can receive it well. ”

Both left and right said yes, pushed back and forth, and launched Ma Kuolai, who had just returned to China. Tong Guan called Ma Kuo and said that he knew the beginning and end of the matter, Ma Kuo had been training in the north and south in the past few years, and he was becoming more and more calm, and admonished: "Taishi! There is a saying: no merit is not punished! These 100,000 stones of grain and grass came abruptly, but you have to be careful! ”

Tong Guan was displeased and said: "People sent 100,000 stones of grain and grass to the door of the house in vain, can they still push things out of the door?" ”

Ma Kuo said: "It's even more suspicious because it was sent for free!" ”

Tong Guan scolded when he heard this: "Pedantic! What a big deal is such a cowardice! So he did not send Ma Kuo, but sent an obedient subordinate Wang Gui to the north to receive food.
