Cai Yan actually yearns for literati and ink writers in his heart. But because he had the insight of a thousand years later, he knew that it was useless to only know how to write poems and lyrics at this time. When he got up the next day, he pestered Wang Fu and asked Wang Fu to teach him a little basic skills. Wang Fu's martial arts are not good, but compared to Cai Ying, it is much better.

Wang Fu demonstrated a simple set of boxing techniques in the courtyard, and Cai Ying watched from the side. said that it was a boxing technique, but Cai Yan felt that it was all a showcase, and it was better to really fight than to punch a few punches indiscriminately. But since Wang Fu's usual practice is this, it is also possible to use him to exercise his body.

Cai Yan wanted to run a few laps in his heart, but after all, this was ancient times, and the kind of things that the ancients thought were insulting were not suitable for him to do. In addition, his father is a big cultural person, and he must be even more ashamed.

Cai Yan followed Wang Fu hand in hand to learn, Wang Fu rarely had something more proficient than the young master, and he tried his best to show off. Red Sleeves also got up, and was about to fetch water for the young master to clean up, when he saw Cai Yan practicing boxing. Leaned in front of the door and looked at Cai Yan with interest.

Cai Yan's understanding is good, after all, in history, when he arrived in the Five Kingdoms City, Zhao Ji's first thought was to ask Cai Yan to write "Northern Hunting Records". Cai Yan followed and learned again, and punched again by himself, and he was already fighting eight or nine.

Cai Yan was in a good mood, and saw the red sleeves watching him beside him, he remembered that when he was in school in the later life, he played basketball by himself, and when he saw a girl watching next to him, he desperately wanted to show off. Cai Yan hit again, this time there was no mistake, and Cai Yan was also sweating after beating.

Red Sleeves didn't know when to prepare the basin and put the towel away. came up and said with a smile: "The young master washes his face and wipes his sweat, and I will boil water to bathe the young master later." ”

Cai Yan thanked him and said, "Red sleeves, don't you think the young master is very awkward in practicing boxing." ”

Red Sleeves said timidly: "The officials I have seen are all singing poems and being polite, this is the first time I have seen a young master like this." ”

Cai Yan laughed: "Haha, you will understand in the future." ”

After Cai Yan took a bath, everything was cleaned up. went to see Cai Jing, and Cai Jing said: "The Western Army also sent someone into Beijing, and it is the nephew of the master of the Dao. ”

Cai Yan was curious, he knew the name of the Seed Master Dao, but he had never heard of this kind of Tao in later generations. He asked, "Daddy, how can this kind of economic minister only send his nephew?" ”

Cai Jing said: "You don't know, the official family of the seed master Dao has never liked it, and he is disobedient to the official family. The official family asked him to attack the Western Xia in a big way, but this kind of teacher said that my Great Song Dynasty could only do defensive things against the Western Xia, and the attack was half the effort. The official family wanted to join forces with Jin to attack Liao, but he poured cold water on it, saying that Dajin is a country of robbers, how can he seek skin with the tiger. As a result, Tong Guan's eunuch attack on Western Xia had a successful result, and he said a few words of slander to the official family, and the official family dismissed the official from the cultivation master. ”

Cai Yan asked tentatively at this time: "Does Daddy think it's right or wrong for Lianjin to attack Liao?" He knew that Cai Jing had a status in Zhao Ji's heart, and he was wondering if he could redeem a little failure in national policy through Cai Jing's mouth. But he didn't know what Cai Jing thought about it.

Cai Jing said: "Lianjin has achieved remarkable results in attacking Liao, and the sixteen states of Yanyun can be recovered at a glance, of course they are right." ”

Cai Yan whispered: "Daddy is not afraid that if the Jin people attack the Liao Kingdom and then turn their heads to attack my Great Song, what should I do in the Great Song?" ”

Cai Jing laughed and said, "Brother Ying'er, it's unfounded! My Great Song Dynasty and his alliance on the Golden Sea are where the morality lies, how can he ignore the morality and attack the country of brothers? ”

Cai Yan slandered in his heart, Da Liao and the Great Song Dynasty also signed the Tanyuan Alliance, which is also a country of brothers, after so many years of peace, didn't the Song Dynasty also say that it would turn its face, and the Song Dynasty preached morality again?

However, Cai Yan didn't dare to say these words, it seems that it is impossible to change through his father's side, these ministers can see the situation too little, and the only few who can see the situation clearly were demoted or dismissed by Zhao Ji. It seems that there is only a way to find a way in the army. But how can I meddle in the affairs of the army? Cai Yan thought of Chong Wei, since he is the nephew of the Seed Master Dao, then he will definitely be able to catch the line of the Seed Master Dao through him, the Seed Master Dao is an understanding person, and he is also very prestigious in the Western Army. Thinking of this, Cai Yan found Wang Fu and asked him to inquire where the envoy from the Western Army lived.

Cai Yan found out where it was, so he wrote a message and asked Wang Fu to send it to Chongwei. Cai Yan didn't dare to meet him at the post house, after all, they were all people from the imperial court, and he was the son of a prime minister, and it was not too good to deal with military attachés in other towns if he was too blatant. Cai Yan made an appointment at Yuelai Restaurant, and set up a banquet in the private room there, and when Xiao Er had all the dishes, he told Xiao Er not to come in again without his instructions.

After a while, the curtain of the door opened, and a man with a black face entered. This was the first time Cai Yan had seen a military general of the Song Dynasty, and Wang Fu followed him in and said, "I have invited the general here." Cai Yan asked Wang Fu to guard the door, and he hugged his fists to salute Chong Wei: "In Xia Cai Ying, I have seen General Chong." "Seed is really like his name, big grin. also hugged a fist and said, "Cai Yanei, I am fortunate to be happy!" ”

The two of them sat down, and Cai Yan said: "I took the liberty to invite the general here, because I had a few words to talk to the general in detail, and I asked the general not to be surprised." ”

Although the people are very arrogant, their hearts are very fine. He was guessing in his heart, isn't it Cai Jing's family who want to get involved in the Western Army and want to win over my family? There was no expression on his face, and he said with a smile: "I am also very happy to see Yanai." The world says that Cai's calligraphy is a must, and I wonder if I can give me insight when I have the opportunity? ”

Cai Yan said: "I can't talk about knowledge, next time I will personally write a picture and give it to the general, and please don't dislike it." ”

Chong Wei smiled: "To be able to get Brother Cai's words, it is a blessing for three lives, haha." Brother Cai is too humble. ”

Cai Yan smiled and poured wine for Chong Xun, and the two of them raised their glasses and drank it all.

Cai Yan said: "Brother Chong came to Beijing this time for the sake of the Western Xia War and peace. ”

Chong Wei was not surprised, Cai Jing would definitely say it to his son. He replied: "Exactly, I entered Beijing with the envoys of Western Xia this time. ”

Cai Yan suddenly spoke: "I think that it is not time to expand the war with Western Xia, Western Xia is not my Great Song henchman, then the Jin Kingdom in the north is!" ”

Chong Wei was shocked, he remembered that Cai Jing's house was wrong with what his breeder claimed, could it be that this kid Cai Jing was here to deceive me?

Cai Yan continued: "The northwest should be mainly defensive, but Taiyuan needs to be heavily defended, if Taiyuan is lost, the Yellow River is in front of you, and Bianjing is in danger." ”

Chong Wei became interested and asked, "How is this Taiyuan dangerous?" ”

Cai Yan said with a smile: "Brother Chong is pretending to be confused with me, as long as the Jin people defeat the Liao State, take Yanyun by the trend, and then go south, Taiyuan is the place where they must be taken." ”

Chong Wei looked at Cai Yan again at this time, and his evaluation of Cai Yan in his heart increased several times. I thought to myself: This Cai Ying's vision is so long-term and so accurate. My uncle was also worried.

Cai Yan poured another glass of wine for Chong Wei, and said with a smile: "I really want to make friends with General Chong, and I ask the general not to blame." ”

Chong Wei laughed: "How could it be, Brother Cai is looking at me Chongwei, and it's too late for me to be happy." ”

Cai Yan said: "What I said this does not mean my father, but just me, to be honest, I am really worried about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, but there is no one to talk about on weekdays, and I can only come to find a kind of general when I think about it." ”

Chong Wei no longer doubts it now, Cai Yan has said everything about this, and he is a fool if he doesn't understand it anymore. Chong Wei said: "Uncle also means this, but unfortunately the official family didn't listen, and they still listened to Tong Guan's house, and dismissed my uncle." ”

Cai Yan sighed and said: "This kind of thing can't be changed, now that Tong Guan Sheng's family is in power, no one can defeat him." However, I want to remind the general this time that if the official family lets the Western Army attack Western Xia in a big way, I hope the general will keep an eye on it. Don't put all your strength into it, leave the elite, hold Guanzhong, that thankless task, it's better not to do it. ”

Chong Wei pondered for a while: "But when the official family arrives, it is difficult for us and other martial artists to disobey." ”

Cai Yan said with a smile: "This is easy to do, send troops out, but don't do your best to attack, if you can't attack, you can't retreat." The elite of the Western Army can't be used as a joke. ”

Chong Wei whispered: "In the Western Army, my family also has a foundation, but now I am all at the disposal of Tong Guan, Tong Guan, this guy, has always been unable to get along with my family, I'm afraid that he will not be able to explain there." ”

Cai Yan thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will go home and persuade my father, let him persuade the official family, and only let Tong Guan be in charge of the Liao army, and the western army will send another general, but it is not possible to make a comeback at present." ”

Chong Wei immediately bowed his hand and said: "I don't care very much if my uncle can be reinstated, as long as Tong Guan is a guy, it will be easy to do it if he doesn't come to meddle in the affairs of the Western Army!" If you can really do it, you must thank Brother Cai! ”

Cai Yan said: "Brother Chong is too outside, I helped you all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, without the slightest selfishness, Tong Guan will have to defeat my Great Song family sooner or later, and I hate it very much." ”

Brother Chong was overjoyed: "I didn't like literati very much before, but when I saw Brother Cai, I felt like I was old at first sight, and I really wanted to have a deep friendship with Brother Cai." ”

Cai Yan remembered that at this time, the ancients seemed to be more fashionable to worship, and they took it very seriously, not the kind of fun that later generations had, but it was really possible to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year. Cai Yan felt that it would be good for him to be able to make friends with a breeder, at least the military had its own people. Immediately, he drank all the wine and said proudly: "I want to worship with my brother as a brother of the opposite sex!" ”

The strength of the wine also came up, and he was bold in himself, and even shouted: "I have already done this!" ”

The two talked about their age at the moment, Cai Ying is young, Chong Wei is the eldest brother, and Cai Ying is the second brother. He was complaining that there was no incense and candle stand, and there was no thing to worship.

Cai Yan immediately smiled and said: "Neither the eldest brother nor I are ordinary people, what do you care about such vulgar etiquette!" ”

He laughed and thought so. The more the two talked, the happier they became, and they drank glass after glass.
