Chapter 139: Will You Heal?
"Brother Mo? β¦β¦ Brother Mo? β
Jia Yidao looked at Mo Ye, who had been staring at him but did not speak, and his eyes were obviously unfocused, and he was a little surprised, and said softly.
At this time, he had already remembered where he had seen Mo Ye and Ah Ruan. Three days ago, he came out of the imperial city and sat on a small sedan chair and was considered by himself to be a disaster-level man, isn't it Mo Ye in front of him?
It's just that I didn't expect that after only three days, I not only saved this man who was evaluated by myself as a disaster, but also drank tea together. The world is impermanent, and it's really a little helpless.
Hearing Jia Rudao's words, his eyes were stunned and he looked at Jia Yidao, Mo Yejun, who was a little distracted because of Ah Ruan's words, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, one man stared at another man, it was really a bit rude.
"Brother Jia......"
"Hehe, Brother Mo, meeting is fate, if Jia is not mistaken, it is obviously not the first time we have met. Sit down...... How about a cup of tea? β
Jia Rudao didn't care about Mo Ye's faux pas, and invited with a smile.
"I don't dare to ask for it! Brother Jia, please! β
Being able to make friends with Uncle Chao Guo may have unexpected help for the purpose of this trip, but Mo Ye naturally can't ask for it.
The three of them sat down, and the teahouse soon sent no less than ten kinds of snacks, and a pot of good tea.
Seeing the more than ten delicately shaped dim sum on the table, Ah Ruan, who had never eaten a few bites of hot rice all the way, couldn't take his eyes off it in an instant. Of course, the food provided in the courtyard must be hot, but the food in the courtyard can only barely get by, and naturally it is not as delicious as the dim sum refined by these teahouses.
Of course, it will obviously taste better.
"Hehe, come, try the food of my Great Song Dynasty."
Seeing Ah Ruan like this, Jia Rudao smiled slightly, moved a few snacks in front of Ah Ruan, and said in a harmonious voice.
"Ahem, sister...... Brother Jia smiled. Mo Ye was a little embarrassed.
He and A Ruan are both nobles in Dali, and their status is still very high. But when it came to the Great Song Dynasty, I found that these nobles were not even as knowledgeable as the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty, how could this not embarrass Mo Ye?
"Ha Luha, Brother Mo, this is a bad statement. Think about it from another direction, if Jia goes to Dali, I am afraid that the food in Dali will be the same. Each country has its own customs and customs, which the Great Song Dynasty has, but the Dali Kingdom does not necessarily have; In the same way, Dali is state-owned, and the Great Song Dynasty may not have it. β
"Mo Ye has been taught."
When Mo Ye heard Jia Yidao's words, he was immediately relieved, but he was in his own light, smiled and nodded at Ah Ruan, who was looking at him with a smile, and signaled that she could eat as much as she wanted.
Seeing Mo Ye nodding, Ah Ruan, who had been in no hurry for a long time, suddenly kept his hands on the ground, and kept saying that it was delicious while eating. Seeing this, Jia seemed to say that he motioned to Jia Quan'er to prepare tea for Ah Ruan.
"Brother and sister Mo, with extraordinary bearing, how could they have thought that they would come to Lin'an thousands of miles away?"
After a conversation just now, the relationship between the two sides is much closer than before, Jia Rudao asked casually while pouring tea for Mo Ye. Obviously, the clothes of the two of them could not be from ordinary families, but when they came out, they were not accompanied by servants, and even a small splash of skin could make the two helpless, which was why Jia Yidao felt a little surprised.
"It's not a secret, Mo Ye and her sister came to the Great Song Dynasty to ask the emperor of Shangguo to send troops to save my Dali country."
Mo Ye didn't hide it, this is what he wanted to say for a long time.
"Send troops to save Dali?" Jia Yidao's eyes condensed slightly, and then he looked at Mo Ye and said solemnly: "Are the Mongols already attacking Dali?" β
Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Mo Ye was a little surprised.
Because what Jia Rudao said was, "Are you already attacking Dali?" Instead of "Are you attacking Dali?" βγ The difference between one word and the meaning is very different.
"More than 100,000 Mongolian troops have invaded our Dali country at the beginning of winter last year, and it has been more than six months now." After Mo Ye finished speaking, he looked at Jia Rudao and said suspiciously: "Did Brother Jia already know that the Mongols were going to invade my Dali country?" β
Seeing the suspicious look on Mo Ye's face, Jia Rudao explained: "Brother Mo doesn't know, it's been three years since the Mongols invaded my Great Song Dynasty in the south. The north of Chengdu Mansion is the range of the Mongols' strength, the Mongols were blocked by my Great Song Dynasty in the Yangtze River, Chengdu Mansion line has never been able to cross the trench one step, stalemate for three years, my Great Song Dynasty has long expected that the Mongols may choose to go far into Chengdu Mansion, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, I did not expect that the Mongols had raised troops to invade Dali last year. β
Naturally, he couldn't say that this was something he had known for a long time, and he also knew that although Dali would be destroyed by the Mongols sooner or later, it was absolutely safe in the past few years. Because although Jia Rudao does not remember the specific time when the Dali Kingdom was destroyed, he vaguely remembers that the Dali Kingdom was destroyed when Kublai Khan "crossed the river with leather bags" expedition to Yunnan, at that time Meng Ge was the Mongolian Great Khan, and the current Mongolian Great Khan is still Ogedai. Mongolia did not succeed to the throne, and Dali was obviously not yet the time to destroy the country.
Ogedei was the second Great Khan of Mongolia after Temujin. Jia Rudao has some understanding. After Γgedei succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, he continued Temujin's last wish, and used the vast majority of Mongol forces to conquer the European continent westward, and only maintained an appropriate strategic suppression of the Great Song Dynasty to ensure that the Great Song Dynasty would not drag the Mongols westward into Europe.
To put it more bluntly, that is, because of Wokotai, Mongolia really did not have much spare strength to launch a real all-out attack on the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and the Mongolian army on the north bank of the Yangtze River was actually mostly a miscellaneous army composed of the Song people or the Jin people who surrendered and absorbed, and only a few elite cavalry used to make the sea god needle were the real Mongolian regular army.
In recent years, Mongolia has not weakened the strategic suppression of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to dispeling the will of the Song people, especially the Song Dynasty north of the Yangtze River, in fact, the most important reason is to loot the population, loot all useful and useless materials such as food, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., to maintain the expenses of the Mongol army's westward expedition to the European continent and maintain the daily extravagant life of the Mongolian nobles.
All the things produced by the prosperous and rich Great Song Dynasty were the things that the Mongolian nobles most yearned for.
Perhaps it was because of Temujin's long-cherished wish that the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was located in a remote corner, was able to survive more than half a century in peace during this period when the Mongols swept nearly one-third of the land and were full of blood and fire.
If history is correct, then the Mongols will only concentrate all their efforts on attacking the Great Song Dynasty only after they have settled the various empires and principalities of all sizes on the European continent.
It's just that this time the Mongols suddenly raised troops to invade Dali, is the wheel of history really beginning to deviate, or is it just an accident? What about an accident caused by a Mongol in order to find a way?
Jia seems to be the way, but he doesn't know the way. It is precisely because I don't know the way that I am worried.
If Ogedai had changed Temujin's last wish, and had instead concentrated all the Mongol forces to attack the Great Song Dynasty with all his might, with the current comparison between the two countries, Jia Yidao did not know how long the Great Song Dynasty would last.
A year? Or two years? β¦β¦
Thinking of this, Jia Rudao felt helpless in his heart.
In this era, everything is good, eating and sleeping well, and women are good, but the transmission of information is too slow. If there is some news of the Mongol attack on Central Asia at this time, it can be determined whether the Mongols have changed their intention to attack.
However, Central Asia is thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty. Send someone over, and when the news comes, I'm afraid that the daylilies are cold. Not to mention, he simply doesn't have anyone on his hands right now.
If the pace of history is still as unbiased as ever, he will naturally be happy to enjoy this heavy life for decades. But what if something really goes wrong? According to the number of people divided by the Mongols, what else can he be at ease with as a Song person?
"Brother Jia? Brother Jia? β
Mo Ye saw Jia Yidao twisting his eyebrows and thinking about it, his expression was constantly changing, and after waiting for half a sound, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Eh, Brother Mo, Jia was a little distracted just now." Jia Rudao, who came back to his senses, said apologetically, "Jia took the liberty to ask, I don't know what happened to the situation of Dali when the Mo brothers and sisters left Dali?" β
"When Mo Ye and Ah Ruan left Dali City, the Mongol vanguard had already approached Dali City." Mo Ye's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Dali is located in the southwest, with high mountains and dense forests, dense poisonous miasma, many snakes, insects and beasts, and the Mongolian cavalry cannot gallop, how can it be so fast?" Jia Rudao's heart tightened.
glanced at Jia Nidao in surprise, Mo Ye obviously didn't expect Jia Nidao to be so familiar with the geographical situation of Dali, but then he was relieved, it seems that since ancient times, the southwest and other places have been vassals of the Central Plains Empire, and it is not difficult to understand.
"The timing of the Mongols is very clever, the winter is when the poisonous insects are dormant, and the Mongols did not divide their troops, and went straight to Dali City, the capital of Dali. I Dali was caught off guard, and the country is small and weak, and there are few wars, so it will be so fast. β
Jia Rudao nodded, it made sense.
However, it is still uncertain whether the Mongol attack on Dali was just an adventurous and tentative move, or whether they really had to be determined to take Dali and get a springboard for attacking Dasong.
But then again, if Dali is really going to die, I'm afraid it will be dead at this moment, and Chengdu has not had any spy reports to Lin'an City, although it can't be said that it must not have been destroyed by the Mongols, at least it means that Dali is still safe.
Thinking about it again, the Mongols have always lived in the desert steppe and are accustomed to the cool and dry climate, and they are obviously not adapted to the humid and hot climate of the Southern Wilderness, so they will choose to attack Dali in winter. Now, the Great Song Dynasty is already a grass warbler flying in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate in Dali is afraid that it has already warmed up, if Dali has not been taken, then the Mongolians should soon withdraw their troops, and each will go back to his own house to find his own mother.
Thinking about it like this, Jia Rudao secretly scolded himself for being too worried. If something really happened, it is estimated that what should have happened would have happened a long time ago, and with his current identity and status, he could only watch what happened.
However, the news that should be inquired about is still inquired.
"Uncle Guo, please save hundreds of people in my Dali country, Mo Ye is grateful, once there is a drive, I will not give up!"
Mo Ye got up abruptly and fell to the ground with a deep blow at Jia Rudao.
On the other side, Ah Ruan, who had been talking non-stop, saw Mo Ye like this, and hurriedly wiped his little hand stained with dim sum powder on his body a few times, pulled Jia Rudao's arm and said coquettishly: "Uncle Guo, Ah Ruan can see a doctor, look at faces, and ...... Anyway, Ah Ruan will have a lot, so you can help us Daliguo. Ah Ruan's Abba and Aunt are also in Dali City......"
"Will you heal?"
