Na Xiao Nilie naturally understood the cattiness in the document, compared to Liaodong and Changchun, which had been taken away by the Jurchens, Emperor Liao was even more reluctant to canonize the Jurchens as an equal vassal state, but the situation was stronger than people, so he had to play tricks on these details, and the bullying of the Jin State were all barbarians who had just come out of the mountains and forests. But he didn't expect Jin Guo to find an insider from where to find it and expose it to the bottom. Xiao Nilie remembered the ferocity of the rumored Jurchens at this time, and his whole body had already softened, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, trembling all over, and couldn't even say words begging for mercy.

"Come on, pull it down and whip it a hundred times!" Wanyan Aguta finally restrained his anger, and did not order these Liao envoys to be pushed out and beheaded, and he was unwilling to completely destroy the peace agreement with Liao. Although in the eyes of many people at that time and in later generations, the leader who led the Jurchen people to the lightning rise was a brave lion, but in fact, there are two sides to the soul of Wanyan Aguta, which are occupied by a lion and a fox respectively, but Aguta cleverly hides one side under the other side on weekdays. When the lion's bravery did not work, he was able to use cunning and prudence to achieve his ends. Compared to him, the leaders of the more powerful empires of Song and Liao behaved much less at this critical moment in history.

Soon, there was a dull sound and screams of leather whips on the flesh outside, and at this time, Wanyan Aguta was able to completely control his emotions, he turned his head and said to Zhishan in a solemn tone: "Great monk, thank you for exposing the tricks of the Khitan Emperor for us, we Jurchens know how to repay kindness with good intentions, and use swords to repay swords." With that, he tapped his palm twice and said to one of the attendants who came in from outside, "Go and bring my white horse, for this is my gift to my good friend!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The best hands folded in a salute.

"No need, this is what you deserve!" Wanyan Ah Gu laughed, and then his face changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "But Great Monk, I want to ask you a question, why hasn't there been a response from my envoy and your companion for so long?" What does the Emperor of the Great Song Kingdom mean? ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhishan raised his head, looked directly into the other party's eyes, and said loudly: "I am a hostage who stayed with you, and I don't know what happened to your envoys in my Great Song Dynasty, but since Your Majesty intends to form a maritime alliance with my Great Song Dynasty to attack the Liao State together, but privately negotiate with the Liao State, what is this worth?" As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, presumably it must be that my Great Song Kingdom also heard about it, and the matter of the Natural Alliance was stopped! ”

Wanyan Aguda didn't expect that Zhishan, as a hostage, would dare to accuse himself of playing duplicity in person, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. ”

"Wait!" Wanyan Aguda stretched out his hand to signal the guards who rushed in to retreat, and said with a smile: "Great monk, you are a good friend, we Jurchens don't kill good friends." What you just said is also somewhat reasonable, but when your Song envoy came, there was no national certificate, and the biggest official was only so big! Akuda pointed to a piece of firewood in the fire. However, the peace mission of the Liao State carried the letter of A Shi (the nickname of the emperor of the Liao State), and the odd officials were so big! Ah Guda pointed to the thick pillar of the basin next to the door: "You said that if you were me, would you make peace with the Liao State or with your Song State?" ”

"But you have already agreed to form an alliance with our Song State, how can you negotiate peace with the Liao State? These two items are clearly contradictory! ”

"Great monk, you are wrong, I have not formed an alliance with your Song State, I just began to discuss with you the matter of forming an alliance to attack the Liao State!" When Wanyan Aguda said this, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "You and your companions don't even have a letter of state, how can I form an alliance with you?" Could it be that you, the great monk, can be the lord of the Great Emperor of the Southern Dynasty? ”

Zhishan was dumbfounded, in the final analysis, he was just a civilian person, not even a formal member of the mission, in fact, even the leader of the mission, Ma Zheng, was just a little chess piece who came to explore the wind and could be sacrificed at any time, how could he argue with Wanyan Agu, who was already the lord of a country at that time? Besides, there was a fierce party struggle within the Great Song Dynasty at that time, even if the ministers of the two provinces were precarious, who could be the lord of the frivolous and changeable Daojun Emperor?

"Great monk, although there is something inappropriate in what your country has done, it is not your fault. In this way, you can go back and bring a message to the emperor of your country for me: The Liao State has sent an envoy to make me the lord of the country, and cede the two provinces of Liaodong and Changchun, with 250,000 silver silks per year. I was angry that his etiquette was incomplete, and I thought that I had formed an attack with you, so I whipped the Liao State to envoy and was not invited by him. Speaking of this, Wanyan Agu waved his right arm down violently, and said loudly: "If you really want to form an alliance and destroy the Liao State together, you should send the minister to bring the letter of state, if you still use the edict, it will be difficult to obey your fate!" ”

"The minister understands!" Zhishan replied in a deep voice, he naturally understood the meaning of Wanyan Aguta, if the letter of state is used, it is two equal countries, and the edict is the monarch's vassal to himself, obviously the Jin people mean to ask the Song State to recognize that they are a country equal to Liao and Song.

"Good!" Wanyan Agu laughed, he patted the shoulder of Sticky Han on the side, and said: "I heard that the bird slave (Sticky Han's nickname) said that you monks of the Southern Dynasty can't touch women, so I will give you some entanglements, so as not to let people say that we Jurchens treat friends slowly." With that, he slapped his palms lightly, and two attendants came in with two trays, full of gold and silver ingots.

"Don't excuse yourself!" Mu Han stopped Zhishan's excuse and said with a smile: "These are all taken from the Khitans, there are a lot, just give it to you to go to the Khitans to rob them." Great monk, if you are unhappy in the Southern Dynasty one day, come to our Jurchens, people like you who are learned and capable, we Jurchens are the most welcome! ”

"Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Zhishan had no choice but to accept the gold and silver, and Wanyan Agu laughed when he saw this: "Very good, after the business is over, then bring the wine, everyone have a good drink!" ”

"Good!" The Jurchens cheered in unison.

Anyang.

It's already May, and the midday sun is shining on the skin, and the fire is very uncomfortable. Zhou Ping wore a short coat and turned his waist rhythmically, and the long-handled sickle swung in the long grass with his turn, cutting down the clumps of long grass. Broken blades of grass, dust, and small insects constantly flew to Zhou Ping's body, sticking to his sweat, which was very uncomfortable, but Zhou Ping didn't seem to feel it, just waved the long-handled sickle rhythmically, like a lifeless machine.

"It's ringing, come and rest!" There was a shout not far away, Zhou Ping put down his sickle, and saw a familiar slender figure under the shade of a tree not far away, it was his new wife Yun Niang. Zhou Ping responded, turned to Luo She'er and Li Bao on the side and said, "Yun Niang is here to deliver food, go eat something under the tree and rest!" ”

"Hmm!" The two of them answered, picked up their belongings and walked under the tree. When he arrived at the tree, Zhou Ping took the jug handed by Yun Niang and drank a few sips, then handed it to Li Bao on the side, found a clean place to sit down, picked up the dough and pickles in the rice basket and ate them. Li Bao on the side took a bite and asked: "Ah Ping, you are also an inspector now, the envoy of the ninth grade, there are also twenty archers under him, why do you have to do such a thing yourself!" ”

Zhou Ping took a sip of water and said with a smile: "It is the time when the farm is busy, every family is tight, when the archers are mostly poor people, if they are called to work for me, if their fields are barren, they will starve to death after the autumn!" ”

"Lang Jun is a good person!" Luo She'er on the side said with a smile: "It is a matter of course for a soldier to work for the general." Reluctantly, the rope whip military law is there, who still dares not to come? ”

"You can't say that, She'er, do you remember what I told you about the art of war a few days ago? If you want to train a soldier, you must first be gracious, and then bound by military law, not the other way around; If, as you say, punishment is inflicted without kindness, how can these soldiers be used? ”

"What Ah Ping said is reasonable!" Li Bao sighed and said, "It's just that this truth is probably not known to many people in my Great Song Dynasty." ”

"How?" Zhou Ping asked.

"You also know that I was an errand boy in front of the palace before I became a puffer, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Bianliang, Tokyo, the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven was also driven by the general all day long, repairing houses and paving roads for them, squeezing oil and selling goods, and making all kinds of profits for a living. I couldn't see it, so I simply took off the red jacket and went to pounce. Speaking of this, Li Bao sighed: "I'm afraid that the only people in the Great Song Dynasty who can do what Aping just said are the old and small races in the Western Army." ”

When Zhou Ping heard these two names, his eyes lit up and asked, "Old species, small species?" What are you talking about, isn't it the way of the seed master and the seed master? ”

"Where else is there!" Li Bao showed a look of admiration on his face: "The elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are all in the Western Army, if there are generals in the Western Army, who is as good as these two!" ”

"I see!" Zhou Ping smiled: "I have also heard the names of these two people, it seems that if the Great Song Dynasty really wants to restore Yan Yun, the handsome one must choose one of these two people?" ”

"That's nature!" Li Bao had a natural look on his face: "This kind of big war must be transferred from the Western Army, and who in the Western Army can match them in terms of seniority, ability, and prestige?" is to let others as generals, but I am afraid and dare not take office! Speaking of this, Li Bao sighed: "It's just that my Great Song Dynasty ancestor system uses literature to control the military, and there must be a Xuanfu Division on top of the capital system, I hope there will be no eventful constraints." With the ability of the old and small species, even if they can't win big, at least they won't be defeated! "It doesn't seem to be enough just to code words.,It's going to sell cute! To reward, to collect, to recommend, all kinds of wants!
