Chapter 941: Who Will Send Charcoal in the Snow?
The Nine Heavens Xuannu is an ancient immortal, in the years and months calculated in tens of millions, the battle is only an occasional thing, in the rest of the time, the days of the immortals are naturally leisurely, in addition to practicing their own Taoism, there is only some fun every day, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, etc., in order to cultivate sentiment.
Compared with the scholars and literati in the world, the gods in the sky have a higher level of appreciation, and the famous sayings and aphorisms, classic songs and dances that circulate in the mortal world will also be popular here for a while, well, the immortals are all cultural people.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that Bai Sheng was a great talent, so he turned the hoop into a scribe's square scarf to lure Bai Sheng into the set, can the Nine Heavens Xuannu not understand Bai Sheng's poems?
This poem "Crossing Zero Ding Yang" was originally written by Wen Tianxiang, one of the "Three Masters of the Late Song Dynasty" in the late Southern Song Dynasty a hundred years later, and Wen Tianxiang's original intention of writing this poem came from the difficulty of resisting Jin.
In particular, the last two sentences of the poem, "Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving the Dan to take care of the sweat and youth," which reflects the author's unhesitating choice of his own destiny! The whole poem expresses the impassioned patriotic enthusiasm, the lofty spirit of treating death as home, and the outlook on life of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, and is the perfect embodiment of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
Therefore, not only Xiao Long and even people like Zhan Renlong were moved to tears, but even the Nine Heavens Xuannu was also infected to the point that her blood was boiling, and she only felt sour in her nose, and hurriedly turned her head to look in the direction of the Heavenly Palace.
Things have come to this point, and she has no way to persuade Bai Sheng anymore, let alone forcibly reverse the morale of the 60,000 troops and people under the mountain, what should she do? Let's go, go back and explain this matter to Lao Jun, and see how Lao Jun's attitude is calculated.
So she didn't look back at Bai Sheng again, for fear that Bai Sheng would find out the crystal in her eyes, so she only turned into a gust of breeze in the same place, and went straight to the Tushi Palace, and there was a warm concern in the wind: "You...... Take care!"
Only Bai Sheng, who was surging in his heart, looked at the moon sky and was stunned, this Xuannu sister is very good, much stronger than Guanyin.
At this point, the story of this scene on the top of Jiushan in Jizhou has come to an end, Bai Sheng ignored Song Jiang, the horseman who was still kneeling on the ground and wanted to cry without tears, and walked to the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Long was the first to come up and thank you.
Wanyan Zongwang's martial arts masters were all on several nearby mountains, and the dozen or so people who surrounded him were even the masters of the masters, but they were all cleaned up by Bai Sheng, and the remaining Jin soldiers with poor martial arts were all killed by the Khitan warriors he brought out.
Xiao Long was about to kneel down with his knees bent, and said: "Xiao Long, a Khitan man in Xiaxia, has seen a white horse, thank you for saving your life!"
Bai Sheng hurriedly used the capture dragon control crane to stop him from kneeling, and said in his heart that this is unacceptable, in case you are my brother-in-law, I can't say anything if I accept your kneeling. Immediately waved his hand and said: "It's just a gesture, why bother? I was just looking for someone to lead the way to Yanjing for me, so you should be this guide." ”
Xiao Long hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "How dare Xiao Long not obey the benefactor's order? It's just that Xiao Long is entrusted by the Holy Lord to go to the Great Song Dynasty to move the rescue soldiers, and if he is late, he is afraid of delaying the major affairs of the Holy Lord, so Xiao Long will send the horse to Yanjing City and then go to Bianliang." ”
Bai Sheng laughed when he heard this: "You are going to move the rescue troops? The Great Song Dynasty has sent troops to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, do you think that the people in the Great Song Dynasty will help the Liao State? What's more, you can't see the Great Song Emperor at all, who do people know about you? Do you think that there are still people who care about the signboard of the Great Liao Envoy today?"
Xiao Long said: "What the concubine said is extremely true, but Xiao Long has a letter from the Holy Lord on his body, asking Xiao Long to hand it over to Master Cai......"
Xiao Long understood what the Nine Heavens Xuannu said before, and tens of thousands of troops of the Great Song Dynasty came to this Jizhou territory without saying hello, and their intentions were also obvious, could it be that they took the initiative to help the Liao State? How could it be?
But isn't there no way now? I can only use dead horses as live horse doctors, and I hope that Cai Jing, an old friend of the Liao people, can play a role and try to lobby the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to see if he can turn enemies into friends. This is precisely the reason why Emperor Tianzuo sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty.
You Zhao Ji have been respectful to my Yelu Yanxi for more than ten years, and now that my Yelu Yanxi is in trouble, don't you look at helping me in the past?
Bai Sheng dispelled Xiao Long's illusions with a word: "Cai Jing has stepped down, and now he has no official or position, and he is only idle at home with the false name of a prince, what do you think he can help you?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Long immediately froze. Cai Jing is already the last hope of the Great Liao State, Cai Jingjing has stepped down, then it is impossible for the Liao State to turn enemies into friends with the Great Song Dynasty, he believes that Bai Sheng's words will not be false at all, so it seems that there is really no need for him to go to Bianliang again, and if he goes, he will go in vain, and if he doesn't make trouble, he will have to take his life there.
After being stunned for a while, he said with an unhappy face: "Since this is the case, what am I going to Bianjing for? ”
Bai Sheng couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard this, Yelu Dashi was his former rival, and he once went south to the Yangtze River Valley to trouble him, it is said that this person is the king of the Southern Court in Liao, and the Southern Privy Council of Liao is located in Yanjing, since Yelu Dashi is also in the city, he really needs to know about it, so he asked: "You went to the Song Kingdom as an envoy by holy order, what does it have to do with Yelu Dashi?"
Xiao Long said: "This time the saint was originally going to send Yelu Dashi to envoy the Great Song Dynasty, but the Yelu Dashi did not obey the decree, and it was useless to say anything to the Great Song Dynasty, don't look at the great Song Dynasty when the Liao State was strong, like a good child, Cheng Huan's knees, now that the Liao State is in turmoil, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be exposed in its original form, and it is inevitable to take the opportunity to grab benefits, and it is more likely to join forces with the Jin State to attack the Liao State...... Therefore, he said that it would be in vain to go to the Great Song Dynasty, so it was better to be honest and stick to the sixteen states of Yanyun and refuse to accept the assignment of the saints, so I would be the envoy. ”
In fact, as Xiao Long said, Yelu Dashi was originally an envoy of the Liao State to communicate with the Great Song Dynasty, and the envoy to the Great Song Dynasty was originally within the scope of his duties, but Yelu Dashi saw the problem more deeply and knew that the world was hot and cold, so he refused to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty again.
In fact, Yelu Dashi's statement and practice are correct.
You don't see someone in the world who makes a fortune, raises a tall building, and feasts guests, but in the blink of an eye, the money is gone, the building is down, the person is sick, and none of the guests who used to surround him are gone.
At this time and that time, when you are down, you can't fantasize that your friends will help you when you are proud, and if you don't come up and step on you with 10,000 feet and make you never turn over, you are very good friends, and you still expect them to help?
From ancient times to the present, people are only willing to put icing on the cake, in order to achieve the purpose of common prosperity of flowers and splendor. How many people are willing to send charcoal in the snow? Sending charcoal in the snow is a thankless task, so there is a proverb in later generations called saving the emergency but not the poor.
This is true between people, and it is also true between nations. The Liao State is already in a terminal danger, and there is no value in saving, and the people who want to save the Liao State in this situation are either relatives of the Liao royal family or fools.
