Chapter 65: Prepare for War!

Ouyang Xiu waved his hand away and drove away his two companions, since he already knew the name and origin of Tie Xinyuan, there was no need for his companions to accompany him, he sat back in his seat, pointed to the pear blossom white on the table and said, "Pear blossom white?" ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded, and Ouyang Xiu opened a jar of wine and poured himself a drink.

Tie Xinyuan smiled, and continued to knead the dough, kneading the dough This is a family kung fu, whether the dough is strong enough, it depends on whether the effort is done when kneading the dough.

At the end of kneading, it is necessary not only to make the surface of the dough shiny, but also to ensure that the flour does not stick to the hands, and there is no noodles in the basin to be considered kung fu.

After kneading the dough, Tie Xinyuan smeared the dough with oil, buckled it up and put it on the edge of the brazier to rise.

Ouyang Xiu had to admit that Tie Xinyuan looked very good at work, not to mention how the food made by a clean person tasted, just that cleanliness made people had three points of appetite.

There are only dried vegetables and some green radishes in the shop, but there are a lot of carrots, Tie Xinyuan washed two carrots, quickly cut them into shreds, added some chopped green onions, boiled some balsamic vinegar in the pot, and poured them on the shredded carrots after adding salt, and brought them to Ouyang Xiudao: "That's the only way." ”

Ouyang Xiu took a sip of wine, ate a chopstick, shredded carrots, and raised his thumb and said, "Good craftsmanship!" ”

Tie Xinyuan also poured himself a bowl of wine, touched it with Ouyang Xiu, and after taking a big sip, he said with a smile: "Noodles are my family's family craft, and my mother raised me by selling bowls of noodles, so Mr. must taste it." ”

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "Since your surname is Tie and you are good at making soup cakes, could it be that the Tokyo Seven Brother Soup Cake Shop is your family's industry?" ”

"Exactly!"

"In this way, then you have to eat a good meal of the soup cakes you made, and the soup cakes made by the young owner of the Seventh Brother Soup Cake Shop should not taste too bad."

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "The soup cake toppings made by my mother are delicious in the world, but it's a pity that there are only onions and garlic here, so we have to eat another kind of pasta." ”

Ouyang Xiu looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "What do you do for a living in Xijing?" I'm afraid you can't afford to open a soup cake shop if you're dressed up. ”

The smile on Tie Xinyuan's face disappeared, and he sighed and said: "Xia Zhu borrowed the emperor's order to let me go to support Yu Khotan's Wei Chi clan, but I didn't know that the capital of Khotan had already been broken by the Qarakhan, and now the Yu Chi clan can only retreat into the deep mountains and continue to deal with the Qarakhan, the situation is so miserable that people can't bear to see it." ”

"Since the Wei Chi clan is in danger, why did you come to Xijing?"

Tie Xinyuan knocked on the table with his fingers and said, "The Qarakhanid has more than 300,000 troops into the Uighurs, and now they are fighting a life-and-death battle with the Uighur king.

If nothing goes wrong, the Qarakhanid will defeat the Uighur kings and dominate the northern Tien Shan.

Now I and the Khotanese remnants are clinging to Hami, an important place in the Tianshan Mountains, and only by blocking the Qarakhanid army on the Tianshan Road can we have a little room for survival. ”

"How many of you are there?"

"There are less than 100,000 people in the whole clan, and there are more than 10,000 people with armor."

Ouyang Xiu sighed and said: "The number of people is not enough, the strength is insufficient, the old man is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

Tie Xinyuan saw that the water in the pot was already boiling, so he casually pulled the noodles and threw them into the pot, watching the long wide noodles rise and fall in the water, and laughed: "I never expected the Grand Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty to lend a helping hand to Khotan.

I Tie Xinyuan came to the Western Regions with bare hands, and I have never expected this, in more than a year, we have gone from having nothing to owning three cities, and only we know how much we have suffered.

If we can have three cities today, there will be thirty or three hundred in the future, and I came to the Khitan just to deal with the possible attack of the Qarakhanids. ”

Ouyang Xiu was a little ashamed, rubbed his hands and said, "What are you going to do?" Can the old man help? First of all, it can only be me, not Da Song. ”

The white and bright noodles were fished out of the pot by Tie Xinyuan, a large handful of chopped green onions, two spoons of minced garlic, and a spoonful of hot oil were poured down, and the aroma of onions, garlic and ginger vinegar on the noodles was stimulated.

Tie Xinyuan put his face in front of Ouyang Xiu and said with a smile: "I just want to ask Mr. to return to Tokyo and tell the people in Tokyo City that in the far Western Regions, there is still a group of Han family sons and daughters who are still working hard, ready to create a land for themselves here where they can live and work in peace and contentment......

We don't dare to ask for the rest, and we can't afford ......."

The taste of the noodles is very good, it can be called the best one of the noodles that Ouyang Xiu has ever eaten, although there is only a simple onion, garlic, ginger and vinegar, the harmony of the five flavors is just right, but Ouyang Xiu, who eats this bowl of noodles, has a sour nose and a pain in his heart.

A group of people who were driven out of their capital not only did not become depressed and declined, but were actively preparing for a comeback.

Even in difficult times, they still maintain their dignity and do not ask for help from others, which is the festival of scholars!

After all, a bowl of noodles in the sea couldn't stop the two gluttons, and when Tie Xinyuan and Ouyang Xiu finished eating the noodles together, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and raised the wine bowl to dry a bowl of wine.

The wine was refilled, but there were ripples on the clear wine, and then a muffled thunderous sound came from a distance.

Ouyang Xiu looked at the dense snowflakes outside the window in surprise, it was really strange to thunder in winter.

Tie Xinyuan picked up the wine bowl and sipped it slowly, and when he saw Ouyang Xiu's gaze falling on him, he put down the wine bowl and said, "I don't know if Yelu Chongyuan is dead!" ”

Ouyang Xiu, who was holding the wine bowl, shook his hand, and some wine rippled out, flowing all over his hands, he didn't care about this, and hurriedly asked, "What did you do?" ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Including the two people who died at the city gate!" ”

Ouyang Xiu was shocked and continued to ask, "Why?" ”

Tie Xinyuan put down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "The Khitan officials are rude to my envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally they should be damned.

As for Yelu Chongyuan, if he is not hurt and not frightened, how can he value those of us who come to him for help?

How can he make the Khitan completely abandon Hami and Yiwu Prefecture? ”

Ouyang Xiu was even more shocked, holding the table with both hands and said, "What if Yelu Chongyuan dies?" ”

Tie Xinyuan threw a bean into his mouth and said with a smile: "If you die, you will die, if there is no imperial brother in Liao, what do we have to lose?" ”

"This will cause the Liao Emperor to be angry, change the situation of the Khitan Dynasty, and also have an impact on my Great Song Dynasty, for so many years, Yelu Chongyuan has fully supported the Liao Emperor to abide by the "Yuanyuan Alliance", the Song and Liao have not heard the sound of the golden drum for decades, and this person has a lot to do with it, in case this person dies, Xiao Hui, who has always advocated making up for the lack of national use through the southern expedition, will be on the throne between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State!"

Tie Xinyuan put his hand on the table and said with a smile: There is no home warrior inside, and there is no strong enemy outside, which is not necessarily a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

The soldiers have to be pulled out to fight every few years, and if they don't fight for a long time, they won't fight, and once a strong enemy invades, what will they use to resist? ”

Ouyang corrected his color and said: "Rather be a peaceful dog, not a person in a troubled world, the war is together, the lives are devastated, and the millions of corpses are also what you want to see?" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "Everyone wants to live a peaceful life, this is right, the life of the Great Song people will definitely be better under the singing and dancing, the question is that the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty also see it this way?" ”

This is the meaning of the old man's visit to the Khitan, the friendship between the two countries is beneficial to the Khitan, and it is also beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty.

Since it's good for everyone, it's not that hard to do. "Ouyang Xiu hated war.

The sound of horses' hooves was already resounding in the streets, countless armor soldiers were galloping in the wind and snow, and countless Khitan officials had a look of panic on their faces, ignoring the pedestrians on the street who were also rushing towards the city gate.

Tie Xinyuan got up and closed the door of the shop, leaned out of the window to pick up some snowflakes and put them in the palm of his hand, so that Ouyang Xiu watched the snowflakes melt in his hands.

Ouyang Xiu glanced at Tie Xinyuan incomprehensibly, and made a sound.

Tie Xinyuan said lazily: "Beihai has been frozen for three consecutive years, if Su Wu is in Beihai at this time, I am afraid there will be no chance to return to Dahan, and there will be no Su Wu shepherd sheep that has been passed down through the ages." ”

Without waiting for Ouyang Xiu to answer, he knocked on the table with chopsticks and sang: "Su Wuliuhu Festival is not disgraceful, the snow is snowy and icy, he has endured for nineteen years, he is thirsty for snow, hungry and felt, and shepherds sheep on the North Sea."

In my heart, I still haven't returned my ......."

The low singing voice echoed in the small shop, and Ouyang Xiu also hit it with chopsticks, singing along with Tie Xinyuan's singing.

After singing three times in a row, the two stopped, and after touching a bowl of wine, Tie Xinyuan said to Ouyang Xiu with a smile: "I picked up the Mugwu people who were about to freeze to death on the road, and they lived on the shore of the North Sea.

He told me that the weather in Beihai is extremely cold now, and many of his tribe have frozen to death, and if his tribesmen cannot drive their cattle and sheep south next year, his tribe will be worried about freezing to death.

He came with a huqin on his back this year, hoping to use his huqin to impress the Liao Emperor and allow them to move south.

I don't think that the Liao Emperor would receive a barbarian who was dressed in tatters and covered in lice, so ah, if this Mughal had not been beheaded by the Liao Emperor, he would have been doomed to be disappointed.

Sir, do you think he will carry the huqin on his back the next time he and his people go south? ”

Ouyang Xiu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said slowly, "You should come here with a knife." However, with the strength of the Liao State, the barbarians could not go south. ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "It is not only the Muguls who need to go south, but also the Jurchens, as well as the Semu people under the rule of the Wugu Enemy Lie Commander Army, don't forget that they also live in very cold places.

If those people want to live, they can only go south, it is a matter of life and death, this contradiction cannot be reconciled at all, and they have no choice but war.

During my time in the Western Regions, I already had a simple understanding of the north and the west, that is, the further north you go, the more barbaric the people there are, and the more barbaric they are, the stronger their combat power will be. ”

Ouyang Xiu took a sip and looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "What do you think Da Song should do?" ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Prepare your arms for battle!" ”
