Worship in front of the grave, the old man also went up to the fragrance, after retreating, Ping'er and Zhang Erhu were still burning paper money, Xu Siye and the old man walked out of the mountain col, standing on the mountainside and looking at the wilderness.

Xu Siye was suspicious of the old man's identity, walked out of the cemetery, and couldn't help asking: "I haven't asked this gentleman about his surname and what his relationship is with his father." ”

The old man sighed: "Life has been up and down for decades, what does it matter who is the surname? Alas! The old man's surname is Song, and he has been in the Lingzun Mansion for 20 years. ”

It turned out to be a staff member in Xu Youcheng's house.

It is doubtful whether this is true or false, saying that he was Xu Youcheng's subordinate twenty years ago, and he can't know what he did later, and he can't get an answer to ask.

Xu Siye saw that the old man was deliberately obscure, and he didn't get to the bottom of it, it was rare for people to remember Xu Youcheng's life taboo to come to worship, after all, Xu Youcheng was wearing a sinful body, and others couldn't hide from it, how could he come to worship if he didn't have too deep friendship?

"It's a pity that Brother Pingyuan was victimized by treachery, he once advocated the official family, but he has always been in this court, and the official family can't be the master."

The old man sighed with emotion, and when he mentioned Shi Miyuan, his eyes showed resentment.

This will not make Xu Siye speak out to criticize Shi Miyuan.

Theoretically, Shi Miyuan is his "father-killing enemy", but he knows that Xu Youcheng is just a victim of the political power struggle, who knows if this old man really hates Shi Miyuan, or does he come to test him for Shi Miyuan?

"My father is deceased, and I don't want to mention the past." Xu Siye was very light and showed his attitude.

You hate your Shi Miyuan, I have nothing to do with this matter.

The old man surnamed Song didn't expect Xu Siye to be so open-minded, and after being a little stunned, he seemed to understand something, and he also deliberately didn't mention Xu Youcheng's death, and looked at the plain in front of him with Xu Siye's eyes.

After the two were silent for a long time, the old man said, "It's not very peaceful in the north now. ”

"Mr. Song is talking about the Mongolian people going south?" Xu Siye asked.

The old man bowed his head slightly and said: "Exactly, in the first year, the Xia Kingdom has been destroyed by the Mengren, and the next step is to attack gold." ”

Xu Siye glanced at the old man, and he could hear that the old man was referring to something.

"Some people in the DPRK think that they should destroy Jin together with the Mongolian people to repay the shame of Jingkang back then, and the north is also preparing for war, I don't know what Xiaoyou thinks?" The old man asked with a smile.

Xu Siye shook his head and said, "If you are not in the court, how dare you discuss national politics?" ”

"Let's talk about it, and let's talk about it." The old man said.

Xu Siye didn't want to casually comment on the affairs of the court in front of outsiders, but he still had something unpleasant in his heart.

"I have a grudge against Jin, the country has not been restored, and the virtuous and benevolent ministers all have the intention of looking north, but the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, even Mr. Song will say, the Mongolian people will destroy the summer, the next step is to destroy the gold, then the gold is destroyed, and then what?" Xu Siye sighed.

The wind blew, and it was a little cold.

But Xu Siye had a fiery fire in his heart, which was the longing and yearning of her husband Jin Ge Iron Horse, but this fiery fire was only extinguished in an instant.

After experiencing the ups and downs of officialdom, he doesn't have that enthusiasm for anything in the world.

The old man groaned slightly: "The auxiliary cars are dependent on each other, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, it is true, Xiaoyou, you are young, but you also have outstanding views." ”

Is it?

To put it mildly, even if it is far-sighted?

The people of this era have been so closed that they can't even explain the complete truth?

"But most people in the DPRK don't think so, they hate the Jin people to the core, I crossed to the south, because of the Jin people, and now there is a chance to destroy the Jin, who doesn't want to make a meritorious career and restore my Great Song River and Mountain?" The old man's words were also a little heroic.

"Restore the Great Song River and Mountain? Hahahaha......"

Hearing this, Xu Siye suddenly stood up and laughed.

It was as if he had heard a big joke.

The Song people first united with the Jin people to destroy Liao for the sixteen states of Yanyun, and ended up crossing south in a hurry, and now they want to unite with Mongolia to destroy Jin, but in the end it was the Battle of Yashan and the overthrow of China.

It seems that the Song people have always been very naïve, and they feel that it is a wise choice to cooperate with the newly rising forces to destroy the enemy.

But he didn't know that he admired literature and suppressed martial arts, which made military discipline loose and had no power for foreign war, and finally ended up destroying the country.

"Why are you laughing?" The old man was extremely curious, and got up to ask.

"Dare to ask Mr. Song, Ma Tiefutu, the kidnapper of the Jin people back then, but it was so easy to deal with?" Xu Siye asked with a smile.

The old man collected his heart and sighed: "When the Jin people founded the country, the soldiers and horses were strong, and they were not comparable to me. ”

"Why is this the reason why their soldiers and horses have not galloped in the past hundred years, but they are still invincible to the iron cavalry of the Mongols?" Xu Siye asked again.

The old man couldn't answer for a while.

"The Western Xia army is strong, but it is also inferior to the iron cavalry of the Mongolian people, the Mongolian iron cavalry is strong, the tactics are strong, and the thousands of miles to help attack the city are still strong. Such a strong enemy, swept the grassland in the north, the Western Xia has been destroyed, and the Jin people have no way to resist, so at this time, it is also expected that the Mongolian people will stick to the north and not invade the Song Dynasty in the south after the destruction of the Jin, does this lead the wolf into the house? Xu Siye talked eloquently, which was completely different from the previous attitude of the idle clouds and wild cranes who did not ask about the world.

The old man pondered for a long time.

Xu Siye's words are beyond the reach of ordinary people who can say, analyzing the strength of the Mongolian cavalry, and also saying the truth of the cold lips and teeth, raising the problem from the military to the level of political alliance.

The old man finally sighed: "Now the Mongolian people intend to send people south to talk about the alliance, and the Jin people also intend to join forces with our dynasty to destroy Mongolia, but it is still just a rumor, and the DPRK and China have not yet decided." Even if you can't join forces to destroy Jin, you can't unite with Jinren. ”

Xu Siye smiled slightly: "Do you have to unite on one side? Isn't it the best choice to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watch the fire from the other side and then take advantage of the fire to rob? ”

"Huh?" The old man was suddenly stunned, obviously what Xu Siye said was different from what he usually thought.

The people of the Song Dynasty always regarded themselves as the upper state of the Celestial Empire, and felt that everything in the world should be decided by themselves, just like the battle between the Jin people and the Mongols, the people of the Song Dynasty always had to participate in it and reflect their sense of existence.

But in fact, this war has nothing to do with the Song people.

It was a bad move to send troops to send troops to work for the people and money, and the lost land was not recovered, and finally the Mongols found a way to invade the south.

"It's not too early, it's time to go back next, Mr. Song, let's see you again."

Xu Siye felt that he had said too much, and it was really unnecessary, and the knowledge in his heart was obviously impossible to pass on to the upper echelons of the imperial court, and it was unfounded.

Xu Siye took Zhang Erhu and Ping'er to get into the carriage back to the city.

The old man stood on the mountain, not leaving for a long time, his face contemplative, as if he had been thinking about Xu Siye's words.

After a long time, the servant who came from behind to catch the car, but it was a sturdy man, and he saluted respectfully: "Marshal, it's not too early, you should go north, if it's too late, I'm afraid that you will miss the deadline set by the official family and delay the reorganization of the army." ”

The old man let out a long sigh and said, "The whole army? What can be done? Is it to defend against the golden man? Or are you a Mongolian? Who would have thought that this little friend's words would mess up the heart of the old man full of blood. Alas, alas. ”
