Chapter 159-for-tat

Yang Yingqi likes fishing, and Zhi Yanchong likes hunting.

Unfortunately, there was no hunting place near the Tsumon Gate, so Orihiko Chong invented a new gadget himself: hunting fish. Shoot a large fish at sea with a bow and arrow wearing gold wire. It was impossible to get a lot of harvest this way, but Orihiko didn't want fish, but hunting - he just treated fish as beasts. On this day, he accidentally shot a whale near the seashore, which was not large among cetaceans, but it was enough to amaze his generals, and the literati who accompanied him also wrote poems to celebrate.

For the sake of this whale, Orihiko was tired enough on this day, but his heart was full of comfort. Xiao Tienu said beside him: "Big brother, this whale is only afraid that it is bigger than a dragon, how can you shoot it to death!" ”

Zhi Yan Chong laughed: "That's also a coincidence!" ”

"Not really." Xiao Tienu said: "If you change someone else, you may not be able to succeed even if you have that opportunity!" ”

Zhi Yanchong smiled: "Six slaves, when did you become so good at sycophancy?" ”

Xiao Tienu grinned and said, "I'm telling the truth, where is the sycophant?" ”

Zhi Yan scolded with a smile: "Sycophants are sycophants!" Even if you shoot it with the truth, it's a sycophant! Saying that, he took Xiao Tienu's hand and was about to go home, when he suddenly saw a horse standing in front of him, Zhi Yan Chong was stunned, and then said with great joy: "Second brother!" There you are! ”

Xiao Tienu greeted Cao Guangbi and said, "Second brother! Today, Big Brother hunted a fish bigger than a dragon! Would you like to go to the beach with us? ”

Cao Guangbi coughed and said, "I'm a little serious, I want to talk to my eldest brother." ”

Xiao Tienu said: "What is so important! Let's look at the fish first. I'm sure you've never seen a fish this big! ”

Seeing Cao Guangbi's gloomy face, Zhi Yanchong stopped Xiao Tienu Dao; "Sixth, hunting fish is just adjusting the body and mind, but you can't lose your mind with playthings, Guangbi has something to do, don't make trouble."

Xiao Tienu smiled and stopped mentioning it. Zhi Yan rushed to Cao Guangbi and beckoned, "Let's go." ”

The three of them went back to the house together, Zhe Yanchong and Xiao Tienu changed into fishy clothes, and it was dusk when they came out again. The three brothers sat down, and Cao Guangbi got straight to the point and said: "Big brother, you said in your letter that the new Jurchen lord intends to use us as the vanguard of the invasion of the Song Dynasty!" Is this true? ”

Zhi Yanchong had already guessed his intention, and nodded: "Not bad." ”

Cao Guangbi said: "I don't know what the eldest brother plans. ”

Zhi Yan said: "Such a big matter, I naturally have to wait for you to come back to discuss." ”

Xiao Tienu interjected: "Second brother, what do you think? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "It is absolutely impossible to invade the Song Dynasty from Jin!" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Why? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The Great Song Dynasty can be saved, but the dominance of the war cannot be controlled by the Jin people. Why? If our Han Dynasty defeats the Song Dynasty, one court will replace another, and the harm to the people can be controlled to the lowest extent possible. But if the Jurchens follow, we can't limit what they do! At that time, the mountains and rivers will be broken, the people will be devastated, and the seven of us brothers will have to bear the infamy of the ages. Therefore, from the Jin to the Song, it is an unjust war, and it is not feasible to break it! This is one of them! ”

Orihiko nodded secretly when he heard this. Cao Guangbi's words have pointed out two main points: First, the Great Song Dynasty regime and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are distinguished, and the Han Dynasty can ignore the existence and fall of the Great Song Dynasty, but it cannot completely ignore the life and death of the Central Plains compatriots! The second is to point out the issue of war dominance -- this is a "strategic eye" that many people who are eager for quick success have not seen!

Cao Guangbi said again: "Now that Zong Han is stationed in the clouds, he has been watching Lianghe and Shaanxi for a long time, Zong Wangtian is a talent, and if he enters the Central Plains with me, the battle of attacking the fortification will be mine, and the benefits after conquest may not be mine!" What good is it for me to make a wedding dress for someone else like this? This is the second one. ”

Zhi Yanchong sighed, as the vanguard of the Jin people to fight the Song Dynasty, the Han Department may not be able to retain the fruits of the war, which is one of the reasons why he has been hesitant.

Xiao Tienu saw that Zhi Yanchong was moved by Cao Guangbi's words, and secretly thought of countermeasures, but listened to Cao Guangbi continue: "Cutting down the Song Dynasty for no reason has attracted the envy of the Song people, and our department regards itself as a Han person, but it is not only hated by people to be the vanguard of the Hu people to lead the wolf into the house, but also to attract contempt!" Since ancient times, traitorous traitors have been the most despised! Once the Song Dynasty is invaded from Jin, it will not only leave a legacy of infamy, but also settle the resentment of the Song people! Thirdly. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Guangbi stood up and waved his hand: "Since the establishment of my Han Department, I have always acted uprightly. After doing such a thing, how can we explain it to the people? Even if you can make the people feel that this is limited by the situation and has no choice but to do so through propaganda, this is self-deception after all! How can our people raise their heads and say that we are an upright nation when they go out in the future, facing the Song people, facing the Japanese people, facing Goryeo, and facing the Bohai and Khitan that have not yet been incorporated into the Han Dynasty? Why should we attract new heroes to join us? Fourth. Therefore, the invasion of the Song Dynasty from Jin not only harmed the spirit of our Han Ministry, but also harmed the long-term development of our Han Ministry! That's why I said, it is absolutely not feasible to invade the Song Dynasty from Jin! ”

Before Zhi Yanchong could express his position, Xiao Tienu hurriedly said: "But now their Jurchens are coming to the door!" The last time the lord of the country toured south, he couldn't find a grandiose excuse. This time, if we get into trouble by ourselves in order to save the Great Song that has nothing to do with us, hey! I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will do the Song people a great favor, but they may not necessarily come to thank us! ”

Cao Guangbi said: "As I said just now, we are thinking about the life and death of our compatriots in the Great Song Dynasty, not the survival or death of the Great Song Dynasty!" Moreover, since the Jin invasion of the Song Dynasty in our Han Department itself has been very harmful, the Song people are grateful or not, we don't have to think about it! As for the Jurchens, as long as our will is strong enough, we can always get through. ”

"Just? How? What to rely on! Xiao Tienu said: "Last time the lord of the country toured the south, if he did it, it would be a crime for no reason!" Han Ministry, as long as you still want to live, you have to work hard! But this time it's different! Their Jurchens have shown us a path: either rebel against Jin or cut down the Song! Do you think the tribesmen would take such a great risk for the sake of a neighbor? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "There are always short-sighted people among the people. But since we know that this matter is very harmful to the Han Ministry, we can't let it go! ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Stop! Whether it is harmful to our Han Department from the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, this matter has not been made clear. ”

"Oh?"

Xiao Tienu said: "Just now, the second brother, you said that the Song Dynasty is very harmful, but I don't see it that way. I think the Song Dynasty is really beneficial to my Han Department! Okay, I'll learn from your tone and argue with you one or the other! We have a lot of wealth in the Han Department, but we have always felt that we can't show it, especially when we meet the Jurchens, we are tied, why? It's not because our hinterland on the mainland is too shallow! If we cut down the Song, we will be able to take down a territory that can be attacked and defended, and can advance and retreat! Whether it is Shandong or Jiangnan, it is much better to just lay down a piece of state and county than to sit in southern Liaoning! Second brother, don't tell me that you can't even beat a soft-footed shrimp like Da Song! That's one of them! ”

Cao Guangbi snorted and did not interrupt him.

Xiao Tienu said again: "Although the Jurchens will follow us into the customs, they are Hu people after all!" The means of ruling the Han people, Lao Qi is a hundred times more proficient than them! Once in the customs, I dare say we will definitely get a foothold before them! So I dare to say that in the end, it will not be their Jurchens who will get the Great Song Dynasty, but our Han Department! That's the second one! ”

Cao Guangbi also knew that what Xiao Tienu said was also possible, but that was only possible! At least this reason did not convince him that Cao Guangbi was not convinced.

Xiao Tienu continued: "As for those scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, since ancient times, they have become princes and losers! As long as we knock down the Great Song Dynasty, they will naturally come to recognize the new master! And between the Jurchens and the Han Ministry, who do you think they will choose, second brother? I dare say they will definitely choose Hanbu! Why? Because we are their kindred after all! That's right, if we lose the battle, we will indeed become traitors in their eyes, but if we win, then we will become heroes in their eyes! And I never thought we would lose in the end! That's the third one! ”

Cao Guangbi sighed, only to hear Xiao Tienu say: "In the end, what else do you think of us, what do you think of us, second brother, I tell you, those are cheap bones!" As long as we are strong enough, they will naturally wag their tails and sing the praises of virtue after us! But on the contrary, if we are defeated, no matter how righteous and righteous we are! Don't think these will look at us! Second brother, I know that you are a straight person, but this world is like this, there is only success or failure, there is no right or wrong! ”

Cao Guangbi said: "What about the people of the Great Song Dynasty? Do you dare to guarantee that the soldiers can treat the people of the Central Plains well after entering the customs? ”

"People?" Xiao Tienu said lightly: "War always kills people. Anyway, they are not having a good time under the Zhao family's Tianzi now, and they will die early and be ......born early" Seeing that Zhi Yanchong's face was a little ugly, he hurriedly changed his words: "But in order to save more people in the Central Plains, sacrificing a small number of people is also a last resort, a last resort." ”
