In the Duting West Station, because of the newly moved Jin State Mission yesterday, chickens and dogs jumped up again. The postmen were made to run around by the Jinren.

At the gate of a courtyard at the back, there stood two Jin soldiers, where the Jin State was making Brunn live. The goldenmen were all snorting and drinking in the front yard, but no one came here to shout loudly, apparently for fear of disturbing Breon.

In the hall, Bruen sat down with the visiting Wang Huang as the guest host, Wang Hao looked displeased, and said to Bruen: "I think General Ulu is ashamed and doesn't dare to come to Bianjing again, right?" ”

Bruen was not familiar with this powerful minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and still patiently replied: "I can't hide it, Ulu was in Bianjing last time, and one lost to the Liao people in an arrow, and lost his golden face; The two were also incompetent, besieged with 100 people, and could not kill the Liao people's horses, but almost lost the life of the young female general. The old emperor attached great importance to the father and son of General Lou, so he punished Ulu and asked him to return to the capital as a tax collector. ”

"General Ulu has gone to be a tax collector, I wonder if the living female general is okay now?" Wang Hao snorted coldly and said.

Brunn immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile in fluent Chinese: "The living female general is very grateful to the prince for taking care of him, and once again asked me to greet the prince and thank him in person." ”

Wang Hao pretended to excuse himself and said: "Since General Ulu has resigned, there is no need to mention the previous incident." ”

Bruen waved his hand and said: "Although Ulu has left his post, he has also reported all the help of the prince to the tomb Zai Wu begging, and the tomb has asked me to tell the prince that I am grateful for the enthusiasm of the prince and is willing to marry the prince." I heard that the new Liao State asked your country to open a border city, but the emperor of your country did not allow it. Now that your country and Xinliao have cut off commercial goods, leather goods are now in short supply in your country, Wang Xianggong can only rest assured that 100,000 sheepskins will be delivered in batches in the near future. ”

"Your country's Tomb Zai is so promised, and it is not in vain that I just said it for your country in the court." Although Wang Hao received news a few days ago that he asked him to send someone to Ulzhou to pick up the 100,000 pieces of leather goods, he had no bottom in his heart after all. Now the envoy of the Jin State also said the same, and said that it was ordered by Tsukasa Zai Wu Qimai, and he was naturally happy in his heart, but he said quietly on his face, and also told the court about the transfer of the Jin army in Yingzhou and Ulzhou, in order to show that he had helped the Jin people again.

"Wang Xianggong is really as wise as a torch, and the country has entered the clouds, only to capture Yelu Yanxi, and now although there are soldiers and horses entering Yingzhou, they have not occupied it. Besides, when it comes to national mourning, how can you make a big move? There must be someone who reverses black and white and spreads rumors, and hopes that the prince will clarify in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Bruen said humbly.

"I will explain this to the officials. When it comes to the new Liao country, I don't know how your country treats each other? Wang Hao put aside the topic just now, and suddenly asked Bruen about Jin Guo's opinion on the new Liao State.

"Although the name is new Liao, it is actually in the same vein as Liao. In addition, the Wansheng army has repeatedly been enemies with the army of the contempt, and deceived the emperor of the contempt country in Juyong Guancheng, and the contempt country is incompatible. It's just that at the moment, we are making every effort to pursue and suppress the remnants of the Liao State, and it is really not appropriate to start another war. Bruen replied unabashedly, just because he knew from Ulu's mouth that the prince in front of him was secretly colluding and colluding with Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and Wan Shengjun were simply incompatible.

Of course, Wang Hao knew that the Jin army had been defeated and fought repeatedly in the hands of the Wansheng army, and he also understood that what Bruen said that "it is not suitable to start a war again" was just a hard support scene, but in fact it was impossible to win the Wansheng army at all, he laughed and said: "The new Liao country is not allowed to open the border city, the business travel is cut off, and I am in short supply of goods. ”

"Everyone knows about this, why did Wang Xianggong say that he was wrong?" Bruen asked, confused.

Wang Hao picked up the teacup on the square table, took a sip lightly, and then said: "I have traveled thousands of miles, all industries are prosperous, although there are few leather goods, but they can be replaced by other things; The border market is forbidden, and it can also be sold from Western Xia. Therefore, the matter of leather goods is not a big deal. ”

"The king's words are reasonable." Bruen hurriedly praised, but he was very disdainful in his heart, if it weren't for the lack of this leather goods in your Great Song Dynasty, and the price of leather goods would rise, how could you be the prime minister of a country so much about the 100,000 sheepskins that promised you?

Wang Hao continued: "Besides, leather goods are not life-threatening things, even if there are no leather goods for a year, the people of our court will never starve to death or freeze to death. On the other hand, in the new Liao State, the people in the country only herded and hunted, and rarely cultivated. Although there are all kinds of leather goods, not everyone can get food and clothing. There is another frost year, and it is even more difficult. ”

"What does the prince mean?" Bruen also had to admit that what Wang Hao said was reasonable, most of the northern tribes could only simply graze and hunt for a living, and the herding and hunting for a living depended on watching the sky and eating. Although when it is prosperous, there are herds of cattle, horses and sheep, but after a white plague, it can freeze to death seven or eight times out of ten. They have been hunting for a living for generations, and they are well aware of the hardships. In contrast, the Great Song Dynasty made a living from farming, alternating in four seasons, as long as it did not miss the agricultural time, it could have surplus grain every year, and even if there was an occasional disaster in one year, it could also rely on grain storage to tide over the difficulties. So Bruen asked, following Wang Huang's meaning.

"If you can not use the sword soldiers, you can destroy the new Liao Kingdom, I wonder if your country is willing to give it a try?" Wang Hao looked at Bruen and asked in a deep voice.

"Dismount and rest for half an hour!" Zhou Nan ordered to Li Feixing beside him.

"Rest for half an hour!" Li Feixing reined in his war horse and shouted loudly. Then they jumped off their horses and sat or stood on the ground.

Zhou Nan took his three hundred pro-army guards and set off from Sanshui Village in Wuqing, and did not even return to Yanjing City, but went straight back to the cottage. After replenishing some rockets from the cottage, Ma Daqiu led the way and rushed to the mountains to the west.

This time, their target was near Lingqiu at the northern end of Nanchaohe East Road, Ma Daqiu and Han Gui had been in the army in Yizhou for many years and were familiar with the terrain around Yizhou, so they let these two people take people in front, while Zhou Nan and Li Feixing followed behind.

From the south of their Sanssouci Village, where the training ground used to try to blow up arrows, there is a rugged mountain road along the river valley to the west, which is only a small road that is usually walked by local mountain people. Although it is very close to Sanssouci Village, Zhou Nan is not familiar with this place. Just because to the west of this place is the range of Nanchaohe East Road. As for where the exact border is, I'm afraid no one can say clearly. The mountains and forests are deep, deserted, and even if there are occasional families, they are mostly the kind of people who belong to the two subjects. In the troubled times, because this place is remote and desolate, and it is not a thoroughfare, these mountain people have been blessed by misfortune and have not been affected by the war.

Zhou Nan and the others followed the path, climbed over two mountains, and finally entered a river valley running northwest and southeast, and the people and horses were already exhausted, so Zhou Nan had to order a rest.
