Qiao Xingjian pretended to be surprised, but in exchange for two chuckles from Jia Yidao. He knew very well that Qiao Xingjian himself knew that it was impossible for him to hook up with the Lixue faction and Zhao Shimi and others from the clan, and even Zhao Yun was actually clear. The reason why Qiao Xingjian pretended to be surprised was nothing more than wanting to take more initiative in the next transaction.

Because both of them know that the next transactions are the foundation for the two of them to be able to sit here and respect each other today.

Pingzhang military important title, to put it bluntly, is the right to intervene in the management of all military affairs that occurred in the Great Song Dynasty, well, the word "important affairs" has clearly limited the highest honor that this Great Song Dynasty only gave to some courtiers who have made great contributions to the imperial court after saying goodbye, and it is not omnipotent. However, everything naturally has its workaround, and the meaning of having this title is fundamentally different from not having this title.

Qiao Xingjian was forced to say goodbye to old age, why did he look like a mourning exam when he heard Zhao Yun's reward for his old age? Isn't it because Zhao Yun didn't give him the title of Pingzhang military affairs according to the usual practice?

It was the Great Song Dynasty at that time, whether it was the school of science or the clan, and now the only person who can show his hand and be qualified to take on the important title of Pingzhang military state is Qiao Xingjian. Of course, in addition to Qiao Xingjian, Zheng Qingzhi is actually qualified, but Zheng Qingzhi is different from Qiao Xingjian, Zheng Qingzhi is to blame, as long as Luoyang and Kaifeng are still in the hands of the Mongols, the failure to enter Luo is a lingering shadow for Zheng Qingzhi and Shi Songzhi in their lives.

As for some other people in the DPRK and China, such as the current Left Prime Minister Li Zongmian, and the two governors Li Mingfu and Zheng Xingzhi, although their qualifications may be enough, they are still a little worse in terms of prestige or popularity.

"What does Gong Qiao think will happen to Mongolia and my Great Song Dynasty in the future?"

To Qiao Xingjian's surprise, Jia Rudao did not continue as he thought, but he turned to ask about the intricate relationship between Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty.

"Shi Xian still thinks that there must be a war between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia?"

"Has there ever been a fight between Mongolia and my Great Song Dynasty over the years?"

"That being said, but my Great Song Dynasty is not a Jin country after all, with the wealth of my Great Song Dynasty, the Mongols want to take down my Great Song unscathed, I'm afraid it is tantamount to an idiot's dream. At that time, the Mongols still needed to form an alliance with our Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin in the face of the small Jin country, and how could the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty be comparable to that of the ignorant and uncivilized Jin people? The Mongols are not prepared to burn the jade, but do the Mongols dare?

The Mongols are murderous, tyrannical, Jindi, Xixia, Liao and other places, there are still countless remnants of various countries who want to restore the country, and have never given up the resistance to the Mongols, now all over the country seems to be stable, but only because Mongolia is powerful, if the Mongols in order to conquer my Great Song Dynasty and my Great Song Dynasty fight with both defeats, want to come to the backyard will first catch fire, at that time, my Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia, who conquered whom, is still unknown. ”

Qiao Xingjian stroked the three strands of long beard under his chin, and said slowly.

I have to say that although Qiao Xingjian is not necessarily a capable minister who governs the world, he has analyzed the relationship between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia for decades. This has been true throughout history.

In the original history, the Mongols did not wait until they had digested all the occupied territories such as the Jin State, the Liao State, and the Western Xia State before finally making up their minds to go south. And this digestion time is almost half a century. Among them, how many people the Mongols killed north of the Yangtze River, Jia Rudao has seen some reports. It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire north is ten rooms and nine empty.

Half a century of killing, nearly two or three generations, before the Mongols finally completely controlled the north of the Yangtze River. This is indeed an important reason why the Great Song Dynasty was able to resist the Mongol iron cavalry when the Mongol army swept across Europe.

But the point is that the trajectory of history today is obviously different from the original history. With the appearance of Jia Nidao, the Great Song Dynasty, which has already made Wen Buhua feel threatened, can still let the Mongols have so much patience to wait for nearly half a century with the original history, Jia Nidao is really not very sure in his heart. So, he can't bet.

If the fate of Da Song and even him and all the people he cares about is pinned on gambling, then he won't know how to die even if he dies. How could Jia Rudao pin the fate of a country and a family on the ethereal unknown?

However, Qiao Xingjian's words are also the truth between Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty today, and they also represent the thoughts in the hearts of the vast majority of people above the court who hold the fate of this country.

Just relying on the speculations and worries in Jia Yidao's heart, it was obviously impossible to convince Qiao Xingjian.

"How about a gamble with Gong Qiao?"

Jia Yidao knew that he couldn't convince Qiao Xingjian, so he retreated.

"Oh? Bet once? What does Shi Xian want to bet on the old man? The war between the Song Dynasty and the Mongols? Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Qiao Xingjian suddenly became interested and said with a smile.

"This is the second thing that seems to be the second thing that Gong Qiao invited to the mansion today."

Qiao Xingjian didn't speak, looking at Jia Yidao with a pair of old eyes, but he was waiting for him to follow.

"It seems that as long as Sun Kui's Houjin army is wiped out, at most three or five years later, the Mongols will go south to conquer my Great Song Dynasty! In the past three to five years, the Mongols are afraid that they will invade our Great Song Dynasty more frequently than before. ”

"Shi Xian means to say...... Three or five years later, there will be a war of national fortune between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia? ”

Although Qiao Xingjian said a rhetorical question, in his tone, there was more disbelief. Obviously, he didn't believe Jia Yidao's affirmation at all. He didn't know where Jia Rudao came from.

"In the court, now only Qiao Gong has the qualifications, merits, and prestige to receive the title of Pingzhang Military Affairs, and Qiao Gong is combing the important affairs of the court, presumably the saint is also extremely relieved, of course, this matter seems to be the Tao is also happy to see it, if Qiao Gong needs, it seems that the Tao is also willing to do the icing on the cake."

Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Qiao Xingjian suddenly laughed, but he didn't answer. He gave Pingzhang the title of important military affairs, and with the help of himself, the school of science, and those elders of the clan, it is basically a sure thing, even if Jia Yidao wants to stop it, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch it now.

Obviously, Jia Yidao's bargaining chip, in Qiao Xingjian's opinion, was still not enough to make him excited.

"Three or five years later, if Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty do not have a war as the Dao said, the Dao will personally persuade Shi Gong, Zheng Gong and Li Xiang to jointly submit a letter to the Holy Lord, help Qiao Gong go further, and give Pingzhang the title of military and state affairs!"

"What?"

Hearing Jia Yidao's words, even with Qiao Xingjian's self-cultivation, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise and changed color.
