Li Bangrui and Yelu Chucai entered the state hall together and saluted Zhao Hong on the high seat.

"The envoys of the Great Mongolian State, Li Bangrui and Yelu Chucai, visited the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."

Yelu Chucai?

Zhao Hong glanced at the beard in front of him in surprise and nodded slightly.

"Why did you come today?"

It is said that this Yelu Chucai saved tens of millions of Han people, so that Confucian culture could be preserved in the catastrophe of the Mongol army, and it is worth standing up and bowing solemnly.

Unexpectedly, when I saw it today, it turned out to be a mighty bearded man of more than 1.8 meters.

Tens of millions of Han people survive on the benevolence of the other party's enemy country, and how shameless and incompetent are those Han kings and scholars?

"Emperor Song, the enmity between my Great Mongolia and the Xia people is not the same. The Song Emperor sent troops to help Xia, resulting in tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers killed and wounded. Emperor Song acted so perversely, isn't this going to be the enemy of my Great Mongolia? ”

The Mongolian envoy Li Bangrui blackened his face, and as soon as he met, he was aggressive, directly reprimanding the Song people for provoking first, and the Mongolian army had no choice but to fight back.

As for the bearded Yelu Chucai, he was silent and carefully observed Zhao Hong.

The "Merry Character" of the Great Song Dynasty is so young!

"Send troops to help Xia?"

Zhao Hongwan smiled. This Mongolian envoy is really straightforward, but also really despicable and shameless.

Ask China!

This reminded him of the famous words of the founding of the country in the later Shichuan, how similar the smearing techniques are.

He likes it that way, though. This can make him fight on the basis of reason and get over his mouth.

"Honorable envoy, have you ever seen my Great Song Dynasty send troops to help Xia? As for those firearms, the Xia people used money to buy them, and I, the son-in-law of the Great Song Dynasty, can't I not sell them, right? You say that the Mongol army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, how is it possible? Who in the world doesn't know, the Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible in the world, my weak army of the Great Song Dynasty, even the Jin people can be wantonly humiliated, how can they be the opponent of the Mongolian army? Your Excellency, you must be mistaken, don't listen to gossip, use your brain to judge. ”

Zhao Hong was tepid, Li Bangrui was speechless for a while, reacted, and immediately changed the topic.

"Emperor Song, let's not talk about sending troops to help Xia for the time being. Emperor Song, your Song Dynasty officials and soldiers attacked and killed our Mongolian soldiers for no reason, and there were many crimes, what should I say? ”

The state of etiquette and the influence of Confucian culture, how did the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty talk and behave, as if he was more shameless and hooligan than him?

Listening to Li Bangrui's words, Zhao Hong couldn't help but be angry.

The thief shouted to catch the thief, but he was still so domineering and so horizontal!

Thinking of the Song people who died, Zhao Hong leaned back in his chair, and his face began to sink.

In the face of blood and tears, jokes are out of place and can't be opened.

Many times, he felt that he was not the material to be an emperor, and he was too easy to get angry and could not be indifferent.

"Your honor, you don't have to be clever and talk nonsense!"

Guo Zhengsun's face was red and his ears were red, and he angrily reprimanded Li Bangrui.

"The Mongolian army entered our Song realm for no reason, broke the city of Jiezhou, slaughtered tens of thousands of my people, attacked and killed thousands of our Song officials, and was inhumane and inhumane. Now your envoy is full of nonsense, reversing black and white, I really don't know what to say! ”

"Your honor, don't be clever and coercive. The blood debt of Jiezhou City, the crimes of the three passes and five states, my Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers all remember it in their hearts. If you dare to say anything more, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Cao Youwen's face was calm, but his tone was not good.

These Mongol envoys, accustomed to being domineering and accustomed to it, went to the wrong place.

"Emperor Song, the weather is too hot, everyone is a little impetuous, and I hope to forgive my sins."

Li Bangrui wanted to use strong words, but Yelu Chucai on the side stopped him.

Reason first, and if you continue to talk about it, you will break up unhappily.

The Song Kingdom, but the state of etiquette, is not those barbarians who are afraid of power and do not have virtue, and only know hard fists. Song people are reasonable.

Outside, the law of the jungle and the hard fist are the boss's set, and there is no market here, but it is easy to arouse disgust.

"Mr. Yelu, I have good tea from Sichuan, and I will bring fire to everyone."

Zhao Hong laughed, and the sergeant quickly changed a few cups of good tea.

"Emperor Song, tens of thousands of elites of your army have gathered on the Xiajin border, and now they have occupied fortresses such as Yingli and Rouwolf Mountain south of the Yellow River, what is the intention?"

Li Bangrui couldn't help but asked again.

The Song and Mongolian armies were facing each other from east to west across Xinhui Prefecture and Qinzhou, and the 200,000 troops looked at each other from afar, saying that the Song army was not aimed at the Mongol army, and the ghosts believed it.

Yingli and Rouwolf Mountains south of the Yellow River?

Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed softly.

Lu Wende, this guy, captured Yingli and Xishou Baotai Military Division, but he hasn't returned yet, which makes him worry in vain.

"Honorable envoy, I won't tell you that Da Xia bought a batch of grain from my Da Song at a high price, and you said that I am the son-in-law of Da Xia, so I can't help but sell it. Seven hundred miles from Lanzhou to Lingzhou, there were many soldiers and bandits along the way, if I didn't send troops, would I be at ease? ”

Zhao Hong's face did not change, and he talked nonsense casually.

"Emperor Song, aren't you afraid that your grain cart will be robbed?"

Li Bangrui asked angrily.

This Emperor Song is talking nonsense with his eyes open, but it is difficult to find faults.

"Honorable envoy, although the grain cart of my Great Song Dynasty is only escorted by 3,000 soldiers, my Great Song Dynasty has 100,000 soldiers on the border, thousands of chariots and artillery, and hundreds of thousands of earth-shattering thunders. I want to see, who is so short-sighted and dares to rob my grain cart of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Cao You snorted coldly and said it categorically.

"You...... Are you intimidating my Mongol army? ”

Li Bangrui was stunned, and his face was full of anger.

"Intimidation? This must be the usual trick of your Mongol army. Unfortunately, it is not used here. I, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, only recognize strength, not coercion and intimidation. ”

Cao Youwen's answer was sonorous and powerful.

Li Bangrui and Yelu Chucai looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

The Song army is a division of 100,000 tigers and wolves, and the Song army is personally marching, and the Mongolian army may have to withdraw its troops.

It's not that the Mongolian army was afraid of the Song army, the key is that Genghis Khan died of illness, the army was disheartened, the plague was epidemic in the army, everyone was in danger, and the Mongolian army was not used to fighting in hot weather......

Yelu Chucai pondered for a moment, and then said softly.

"Emperor Song, my Great Mongolian Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty do not have a deep hatred, the Mongolian army entered the Song Realm, but it just wanted to show off its might, but it used the wrong method, and its original intention was not so."

Yelu Chucai looked at Zhao Hong with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Why did Emperor Song bother to make enemies of our Great Mongolia for the sake of a small state that was like destroying the country, and even Chen Dabing was in danger of the Yellow River. Isn't Emperor Song a little too rash? ”

For a self-related and insignificant Western Xia, he made a grudge against the Great Mongolia. He wanted to know, what kind of idea did Emperor Song have in front of him?

"Mr. is a well-read poet and well-versed in my Chinese civilization. I Han sages have clouds, do something and do nothing, self-reflexive, where the Tao is, although tens of millions of people go to me. ”

Zhao Hong Zhengse said, raising his voice.

"I said that it was for the sake of the Tangut civilization not to be exterminated, and for the hundreds of thousands of Xixia people to avoid being slaughtered, do you believe it?"

Zhao Hong's words, everyone in the hall heard them clearly.

"Your Majesty, the mighty cannot be bent, the eldest husband sacrifices his life for righteousness, and it is useless to tell them that these benevolence and morality are useless. Only by beating them out and letting their blood flow like a river can they understand! ”

"Your Majesty, it is useless to tell them these truths for the country and the people. They are unreasonable, they only recognize fists. Let's compare with them, see whose fists are hard, and see how much blood they can shed! ”

Mr. Yelu did not reply, and the generals of the Song Army in the hall were excited and shouted out one after another.

Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui looked at each other, both surprised.

It is said that the Song people are weak, and what they see inside and outside the city are all well-trained elite people. And in this class, all the young macho men are menacing, how can they look a little sluggish?

"Emperor Song, our army is about to withdraw. The Great Khan sent me here to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yelu Chucai pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Yelu Chucai's words were in his ears, and Zhao Hong smiled coldly.

"Mr. Yeru, your Great Khan has died, so don't try to cover it up. If my guess is correct, it was Ogedai who called you. Tell me, what is the peace law? ”

Zhao Hong pointed to the two gold medals on the table, and motioned to Cao You below to smell it.

"This is the gold medal of your Mongolian army, take it back, stop scaring people, it's useless."

Cao You knew this, picked up the gold medal, walked over, and put it on the table next to Li Bangrui.

"Emperor Song, please let go of the previous festivals and misunderstandings for the time being."

Yelu Chucai glanced at the gold medal, and his face did not change.

"The Mengsong and the Jin people are feuds, and my Mongolia destroys the Jin, and I am determined to win. But the Jin people resisted and died without repentance. Our army wants to take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty and go straight behind the Jin people. I don't know if Emperor Song can borrow the way, our army has its own gratitude. ”

Yelu Chucai's words made Zhao Hong's heart brighten.

Everyone doesn't know, but Zhao Hong is clear. Behind the attack on the Jin State through the Song Realm, these were Genghis Khan's last words. Yelu Chucai even said that the Mongolian army wanted to use the Song Realm, and it seems that Genghis Khan has died of illness.

Genghis Khan, who was a generation of arrogant and god-like soldiers, died of illness, which seems to be a few days earlier than in history. The Mongol army was disheartened, and there was no need to ask about withdrawing troops.

Zhao Hong pondered for a moment before he spoke.

"Mr. Yelu is noble and righteous, and he will be famous in history, Zhao Hong admires him, please accept Zhao Hong's worship!"

Zhao Hong stood up, walked down, and bowed.

Cao Youwen and Guo Zhengsun and other courtiers had no choice but to follow Zhao Hong and give gifts to Yelu Chucai.

"Emperor Song, don't dare to do this!"

Yelu Chucai quickly straightened up and returned a salute.

Unexpectedly, he dissuaded the Mongol army from killing, and he was favored and respected by the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, which made him flattered.

In fact, what he has done is limited, otherwise the land of two rivers would not be uninhabited for a hundred miles, and there would be no one out of ten people.

"Sir, please sit, sir, you don't need to be polite."

Zhao Hong turned around and sat down in his chair.

"Mr. Yelu is benevolent, but how many people in the world can he save? The system of the Great Mongolian State, those who attack the city and resist it will be slaughtered. Therefore, the famous cities slaughtered by the Mongol army into the Central Plains were incalculable, and women, children, old and children, were not spared. The corpses of the people were piled up like mountains, rivers of blood flowed, and bones were piled up. Can the blood debt owed by the Mongol army be repaid on his behalf? Therefore, there is no need to talk about the matter of borrowing the Tao. ”

Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Both of them are scholars, so of course they can understand the meaning of Zhao Hong's words.

"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Jin is a feud, can you forget the shame of Jingkang? Can you forget the hatred of the country and the family? ”

Li Bangrui unconsciously changed the "Song Emperor" in his mouth to "Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty", and his attitude became much more respectful.

"Honorable envoy, Song and Jin feud, no one in the Great Song Dynasty dares to forget. But the family feud of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song people will avenge it themselves, without external force. Even if the Great Song Dynasty restored its homeland, it would not burn and loot, it was completely unnecessary. Qiu did not commit any crimes, this is also the way my Great Song Dynasty official army does things. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Cao Youwen and Guo Zhengsun and other courtiers, and took matters seriously.

"You say, our army occupied Lanzhou, Lintao Mansion and other places, but did you kill an innocent person? Have you robbed the people of a penny? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, wherever our army went, there was no crime in the autumn, giving porridge to the people, asking about the cold, and never tyrannical behavior."

Guo Zhengsun gave his hand, representing everyone to reply seriously.

"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is there really no room for relaxation?"

Zhao Hongjun and his ministers asked and answered each other, Yelu Chucai knew it, and smiled bitterly, still unwilling.

The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. The meaning of Zhao Hong's words is self-evident, and the political views of the two sides are contrary to each other, and it is difficult to coordinate.

"Mr. Yelu, even if I agree to borrow from you, will the Mongol army dare to march from the Song Realm? If the Great Song Dynasty does not borrow the road, won't the Mongolian army forcibly borrow the road? This is the way your army has always been, am I wrong? ”

Zhao Hong looked at Yelu Chucai and the others, and his face became solemn.

Historically, the Mongol army wanted to use the Song Dynasty to invade gold, but was rejected by the Southern Song Dynasty. The commander of the Mongolian army, Torrey, took advantage of the force, and the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty suffered millions of casualties, which led to the battle of Sanfeng Mountain in Mengjin.

It's a pity that the Jin army was not angry, and the army of more than 100,000 was defeated by Torrey's 30,000 or 40,000 Mongolian cavalry, and the strength of the army was lost, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and the country was finally destroyed two years later.

"Originally, the two gentlemen were great talents, and I wanted to stay. But there are two gentlemen in the Mongol army, who can make the war much less bloody. So ......"

Zhao Hong raised his head and said to Yelu Chucai and the others:

"I know that Ogedei is the next Great Khan of the Mongols, and I know that he loves good wine. I have prepared a few jars of good wine, and I invite you to drink it in Wokotai. When the two gentlemen returned, they told him that I would like to be friends with him, and that the two countries would be friendly and that they would never move their swords. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Song!"

Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui looked at each other and bowed.

How can this Song Emperor know so many things, and even Wokotai likes to drink?

Zhao Hong faced Guo Zhengsun and spoke softly.

"Guo Qing, prepare two more heavy gifts for the two gentlemen to bring when they go back. I, the Great Song Dynasty, will send a messenger and two gentlemen to the Mongolian army to mourn and worship Emperor Genghis. ”

Guo Zhengsun took the order, and Zhao Hong stood up with a smile on his face.

"Guo Qing, prepare the banquet, I want to personally entertain the two gentlemen, talk about the past and the present, and sit down and discuss."

Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui stood up together and bowed.

"Thank you Emperor Song for your grace!"

So far, it can only be a temporary good fate.

However, the young Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was righteous and gentle, which made the two of them break their hearts.

However, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was not kind to the Mongol army, and he and the Great Song under his leadership would definitely be the future rivals of the Mongol Empire.

"I'll write again in the afternoon, there's something to do now, thank you."
