Chapter 209: The First Arrival in Xia Prefecture

Yes, since Sun Yue learned that he was coming to Xiazhou, he has been thinking about the party's affairs.

Hou Shu will definitely be swept away, it doesn't matter if he has him or not, at most it's just icing on the cake, get a lot of military merit from it, but its usefulness is not very great, after all, his age is here.

But the party item is different, this is the old enemy who has been messing with the Great Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and the culprit who dragged down the Great Song Dynasty, since he has the opportunity to come here, Quan Zhizhou is still Zhao Guangmei, who obeys his words, and he will not be comfortable in his life if he doesn't do something.

Besides, as he said, since Zhao Kuangyin is treating him with the courtesy of a countryman, he will repay others with the ability of a countryman, even if no one knows his good intentions, he will do this for the sake of future generations.

Fooling Zhao Guangmei doesn't have to use any brains at all, sometimes Sun Yue thinks that Zhao Kuangyin sent Zhao Guangmei over in disguise to make himself the governor of Qinzhou, this product is too obedient, if Sun Yue wants to, he will have to count the money for himself if he sells him, and he has to count the money for himself when he comes to Xiazhou, so big a matter of coming to Xiazhou, he actually rode a horse ass without even a trace of hesitation and kept up.

The two of them took Wang Kai and about 300 guards, set off with their heads held high against the wind and sand, and in about five days, people had already seen the city wall of Xiazhou.

"Brother Yue, you haven't said yet, what is the main purpose of your coming to Xiazhou, it can't really be to exchange for a few good horses."

No matter how much Zhao Guangmei trusts him, he is not a fool after all, Sun Yue must have a big plan for this trip, he trusts him, so he doesn't ask much, of course, it is also because he knows that even if he asks, he may not be able to figure out the cats inside.

Sun Yue smiled, suddenly turned around and asked Wang Kaidao: "Brother Kai, you have been in the frontier for a long time, and you have the most contact with the party members on weekdays, tell me, what is your impression of them?" ”

Wang Kai arched his hand quite restrainedly when he heard this, and then thought for a while before saying: "Back to the words of the little minister, the party has been in contact with our Central Plains Dynasty for the longest time, and the eleventh and twelfth of the tribes can speak Chinese, and there are still many Han people who have moved to the five states of Dingyan in order to avoid war for decades, among which the literate and hyphenation are often quite important, so this party item is quite knowledgeable about etiquette among foreign races, and it is easier to deal with, and it is also very friendly to the Han people." ”

Sun Yue smiled: "Brother Kai is naturally the same age, and even I am younger than you, so there is no need to be so restrained, just call me Brother Yue." ”

Somehow, this kid may really admire himself, and he has almost always been a half-master gift, a good young master of the loyal army, and now he is as good as his follower, which is quite cool, but Sun Yue is really a little unaccustomed.

"Then what do you think is the Dingyan army compared to the loyal army?"

Wang Kai thought for a while and said: "It should be much stronger than the loyal army, the key is that they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, if we really fight, we will definitely not be comfortable, so we are not opponents, but it is definitely no problem to delay until the forbidden army comes to help, Sun Xiaoxianggong is worried that one day the Dingyan army will rebel?" ”

"I didn't say this, at most it's just a rainy day, and don't call me Sun Xiaoxianggong, it seems to be a raw point. No matter how friendly this Dingyan army is, it is a foreign race after all, and our loyal army is definitely incomparable, I don't shy away from you, after the Hou Shu is pacified, the status of this loyal army will definitely decline, since it is not the front line, it is definitely impossible to maintain so many elite soldiers, and it is impossible for General Wang Lao to be a festival envoy in this broken place, so that our military defense in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty will be a big piece less all of a sudden, in case of any conflict with the party members, we will inevitably suffer. ”

Wang Kai heard this: "Then you came this time, but you came to them with power and beat them?" ”

"I can't talk about knocking down, this is since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Dingyan Army has gradually claimed to be a series, and the Central Plains Dynasty is not much, several conscriptions, but also the nature of borrowing troops, since the founding of our Great Song Dynasty, in addition to sending a few horses, there is almost no interaction, since this Dingyan army is so strong, and friendly with our Han people, why not try to in-depth exchanges, do not point to them as obedient as the Tang Dynasty, even if it is good to build a trade line, if the Northern Expedition to the Khitan in the future has a difficult army to send troops to contain, I'm a good son who has to die a lot less. ”

Wang Kai didn't seem to understand, but Zhao Guangmei didn't understand at all, to be honest, he didn't even have any concept of the party, after all, for the Song people in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, their sense of existence was not strong.

"So Brother Yue means that we're here to make friends this time, right? I came here in person, it shows that we value them and are sincere? ”

Sun Yue smiled and said, "If you understand it simply, it is indeed the same thing, so when you enter the city for a while, you hold the prince's shelf, and enjoy their hospitality calmly, and leave the specific things to me to talk about. ”

"Understood, isn't this what you often call face brushing?"

"Almost."

"Oh, is the party woman fun?"

“………………”

As he spoke, Xiazhou City had already arrived, and the messenger who had already received the news waited outside the city gate to greet them early, and greeted Zhao Guangmei very enthusiastically.

This matter, Li Yixing is also quite helpless, in a hurry, he doesn't know what kind of etiquette to entertain them, you say that you should entertain them with an ordinary Qinzhou governor, that is obviously slack, but you have to entertain it as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and people are just using this ordinary private visit, and the reception is too grand and it seems that they are too cheap.

So he could only arrange someone to take him in first, and then say, take a step at a time, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the three kings of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangmei was still holding it, trying her best to put on a majestic and deep appearance on her little face, but not long after entering the city, her original form was revealed.

"Wow, Brother Yue, look at Brother Yue, that girl has blue eyes."

"Baby, Brother Yue, look, that girl is wearing a pair, it's so strange."

"Ah, what is this, big bones? Why would someone sell big bones on the street? ”

The receptionist smiled: "Xiazhou is a mixed Hu and Han people, so the customs and customs are also half Hu and half Han, there are two markets, one is mainly Han people, mainly to open a shop in the business of business, the other is the three kings in front of this, mainly to the party people, weekdays are not so lively, but on the thirteenth of each month, the head of the party will take the remaining goods in the tribe to the city for exchange transactions, today is the fourteenth, the most lively time has passed, but there is still a little residual warmth, The one who sells bones is actually selling tiger bones, and our party believes that tiger bones can give courage in war. ”

Sun Yue was quite surprised and said: "Your Excellency's Chinese language is very good, listening to your speech in a clear manner, could it be that you have read the books of the Han family?" ”

The man smiled: "Naturally, I have read it, the party is an old friend of the Han people, almost every nobleman can speak Chinese, I also admire the prosperous place of Central Plains for a long time, and I have been thinking about the opportunity to go and see it, this is Sun Xiaoxianggong, who is known as the first handsome man of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Oh? Some of Sun's thin names have actually spread to Xiazhou? ”

"Sun Xiaoxianggong is not a thin name, your punishment reward is loyal, I read it day and night, but you are a character I admire, no matter what before leaving, I have to invite you to a drink and ask for some knowledge."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's rare that there is such a studious person as Your Excellency among the party members, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"

"Oh, in Xia is the second son of the Jiedu envoy, the Han name is Li Guangyan, and he is temporarily appointed as the defense envoy of Yinzhou."

After a while, Sun Yue reflexively tightened the reins of the horse, so as to hang himself around.

"Who do you say you are?"

"Uh...... In the lower Yinzhou defense envoy Li Guangyan. ”

Sun Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself and said: "It turned out that it was the defense envoy in front of the lord, and I was really flattered that you went out of the city to greet you in person, I don't know why you came back to Xiazhou?" ”

"Where and where, the three kings are here, I should come, it's also a coincidence, today is the dog's first birthday, I brought him to the clan to receive gifts, if it weren't for the blessing of this kid, I wouldn't have seen the three kings and Sun Xiaoxianggong."

"Dare to ask if your son has a name?"

"Oh, take it, take it, the Han name is Li Jiqian."
