At this point, the two immediately issued an order, ordering the people who had been determined to accompany the mission to prepare, and the personnel responsible for carriage, horses, food, lodging, and security along the way also began to provide support. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) The Mongols were strict in their management of the army, and everyone under them was resolute in their work, so after only half an hour, a servant informed Kublai Khan and Xiao Yao that their subordinates had made arrangements and could leave immediately. Hearing this information, Kublai Khan, who was already anxious in his heart, immediately took off the Mongolian prince's clothes, changed into an ordinary official uniform, and then asked others to dress up a little, and suddenly, the image of an ordinary Mongolian official who looked ordinary and had nothing special immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Looking at this new outfit, Kublai Khan and Xiao Yao looked at each other and smiled, and immediately walked out of the king's tent together, got into the carriage with the other members of the envoy, and drove southeast in the direction of Lin'an Mansion (Hangzhou).

Due to the proper arrangements along the way, coupled with the Great Song Dynasty also sent to greet the personnel, the post road on the various pavilions and posts are fully prepared, so the road is unimpeded, according to expectations, it only takes seven or eight days to arrive in Lin'an, but because Kublai Khan is concerned about the real purpose of this trip, it is to delay the detour with various excuses along the way, and take the opportunity to personally investigate the military deployment, combat morale and so on of the Song army along the way, therefore, when the group came to the territory of Pingjiang Mansion (Suzhou), it was half a month later.

Pingjiang Mansion is located in the north of Lin'an, when it comes to economic prosperity, it is second only to Lin'an, and the scenery here is beautiful, and the vast Taihu Lake is a beautiful place that can be compared with the West Lake of Lin'an. Since the construction of Yannandu, the Huainan Road has become one of the main battlefields of the Song and Jin wars, and the Huai River has become the border line between the Jin in the north and the Southern Song Dynasty in the south. At that time, the power of the Jin State had been declining, and Kublai Khan and his entourage went from Kaifeng Mansion to Shunchang Mansion (now Fuyang, Anhui) on Huainan West Road to Zhongli County (now Fengyang County, Anhui) on Huainan East Road, and then to Jiankang City (now Nanjing) on Jiangnan East Road. Before the group entered the city, they heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. Xiao Yao rode on a horse and raised his eyes to look, only to see a team outside the city wearing colorful costumes and holding various brands was blowing and beating lively, and in front of him was a group of Great Song Dynasty officials wearing various official clothes and standing with their hands in their hands. Seeing this scene, Kublai Khan smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect that it would not work on the battlefield of the Lin'an Imperial Court, but the pomp and circumstance in the officialdom was still quite big." ”

When Xiao Yao heard this, he remembered the officials in the modern society he had seen, and suddenly nodded sympathetically. The group of carriages and horses slowly drove to the city gate, and when even one person walked out of the Great Song Dynasty to greet the officials, he said loudly: "Jinghu pacification ambassador Jia Rudao led Jiangnan and Huainan two roads, four prefectures and seventeen counties, a total of one hundred and thirty-nine civil and military officials, to welcome the angel of the Great Mongolian Kingdom to come down and discuss peace. Beg for the grace of heaven, the glory shines, and all the people return to their hearts!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately bowed down and bowed, and shouted on the ground.

Even Kublai Khan himself was cautious in his words and deeds along the way, and every time he passed by a pavilion or a post and had a meal with the local prefect or other officials who were in charge of reception, he never relied on force to show off his might, and acted arbitrarily as an envoy of a great power, and made some unreasonable demands. But at this time, when he saw that these Great Song Dynasty officials treated each other with the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, he couldn't help frowning, and whispered as if talking to himself: "These people are so spineless!"

When Xiao Yao heard that the official in the lead, who was thin, short-bearded, small-eyed, and had an obscene face, actually called himself "Jia Nidao", he was immediately shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "Wouldn't this person be the traitorous minister Jia Nidao who betrayed the country and sought glory?" But before he could think about it, his chariot and horse had already come to him, and the official who claimed to be named Jia Nidao immediately greeted him, came to the horse of the head of the mission, and reached out to hold the reins for him. Since everyone came to the Central Plains this time in the name of "envoy" peace talks, it is essential for the mission to really bring some people in charge of diplomacy to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, and Ubuen is an official under Kublai Khan who is responsible for such things, so he is the person in charge of the Mongolian mission on the surface.

At this time, he saw that Jia Yidao took the initiative to saddle up and take the initiative to guide himself, and understood that he was trying to please himself, and for what to do when dealing with the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, he had been in charge of diplomacy for many years, and he had already been well versed in this way, so he did not back down, but instead resigned to the righteous desire to humbly, unwilling to be led by other officials, Xiao Yao, who wanted to get off the horse and walk by himself, made a look, signaling that he only had to accept it calmly, and then sat on the horse with his chest held high, allowing Jia Yidao to hold the reins step by step, and he sat on the horse with dignity and entered Jiankang City。

Xiao Yao saw Ye Wubuen's eyes, so he had to sit on the horse with a worried heart, but when he saw that the official who led the horse in front of him was dressed in a purple official robe, with a three-inch rusty chest and a three-inch Duke flower, obviously a third-rank great yuan of the dynasty, he couldn't bear it in his heart anyway. He understood that according to the division of official positions in the Song Dynasty, the three-rank officials were equivalent to the state councilors of modern society, and thinking that he was being served by such a high-ranking and powerful official at this time, Xiao Yao felt excited and uneasy in his heart every time he thought about it, and at the same time, a hearty pleasure also arose, but he became more and more immersed in it, and it was difficult to extricate himself.

Originally, when foreign missions entered the city, they had to get off their horses and worship Wen first, and go through some cumbersome diplomatic procedures, but at this time, Jia Rudao and other officials of the Great Song Dynasty had a green light all the way, insisted on holding the reins of the horse, and directly introduced the Mongolian mission into the mansion of the prefect of Jiankang. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao sat on his horse and thought about it for a while, and he already understood why Jia Rudao, these high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty, were so groveling and flattering at this time.

It turned out that at that time, the Mongolian army pressed the border, although there was no major friction with the Southern Song Dynasty, and there was no real war between each other, but the Mongolian iron cavalry was famous, not to mention that when the Song Dynasty and Mongolia were annihilated under the attack of the north and south, they had already let the Lin'an court see the power of the grassland lion, just to say that the Song Dynasty in history was heavy on literature and light on military force throughout the dynasty, from top to bottom, the main battle faction has never really had the upper hand in the court, in the face of the Mongolian soldiers on the side, delayed, those officials who really grasp the power of the court, such as Jia Rudao, these people think in their hearts, it must be as long as they can avoid war, even if the imperial court offers a high amount of New Year's coins every year, it is willing. Therefore, when they encountered a good opportunity for the Mongolian mission to negotiate peace, they naturally refused to let it go lightly, and of course they wanted to do their best to show their sincerity in seeking peace. Thinking of this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but lament: "When Song Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, he learned the lesson of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns and the chaos of supporting the army. Not only that, but even the army is too weak to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the homeland and the country. With such a form of government, even if a saint descends from heaven, it is difficult to change the fate of the Song Dynasty. But in any case, the Song Dynasty was also Chinese orthodoxy after all, and I chose to join Mongolia, which was still a foreign country at this time, and I am afraid that if modern people know about it, most of them will call me a 'traitor'. Fortunately, I am in the troubled times of the Southern Song Dynasty at the moment, and I don't have to pay attention to these opinions, otherwise people will be terrible, and whether I can stick to my own ideas is really uncertain. ”
