Three people traveling to the lake

As soon as Zhao and Ju said this, even Meng Gong and Qiu Zhiqing were a little silent. The Mongols in this day were really strong. But this does not mean that the Southern Song Dynasty did not have the power to fight.

After all, Meng Gong was a Confucian general who could fight and dared to fight. He had both the blood and courage of a military general, nor the spirit of a scholar! He soon came back to his senses.

He said firmly: "No matter what, the Mongols are not invincible. In the end... to the following point of view, as long as the command is appropriate and the logistics is sufficient, they will dare to lead troops to fight."

Speaking of this, it aroused his heroic spirit and fighting spirit. He didn't care who poured the wine for him. He became bored in one mouthful, and then he ate it heavily, saying:

"And even if the Jin Kingdom survives and loses Hedong and Hebei, it will still defeat the Mongolian army in Weizhou and Dachangyuan, if not..."

Speaking of this section, Meng Gong closed his mouth in disappointment. Although he was a heroic moment, he still felt confident that he should say something and what he should not say, and the disaster came from his mouth.

Qiu Zhiqing was careless and looked at Meng Gong with confusion. A gust of spring breeze blew, and the willows swayed in the wind, and little willow catkins floated up. Meng Gong pretended to look at the beautiful scenery of West Lake in February.

What does Ren Qiu Zhiqing think? He just doesn't look at Qiu Zhiqing right away.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuju was both angry and funny. He was laughing at him as Meng Gong, who was so rogue. He was so angry that when these three people were walking, Meng Gong didn't dare to tell the truth. It is conceivable how many civil and military officials in the court could be honest with him?

Thinking of this period, Zhao and Ju were inevitably a little disappointed and began to remain silent! Qiu Zhiqing saw the heroic words of Meng Gong, and after he swallowed them back into his stomach halfway through his own words, he fell into silence.

He was curious. Although he knew which pot was not opened and which pot was a taboo in conversation, Qiu Zhiqing still couldn't suppress his damn curiosity and desire for knowledge.

"If it's not something?" Those who should come will always come, and Meng Gong continued to pretend to be stupid: "Nothing!"

Zhao Yuju took over the conversation and said, "It's better for me to say that Brother Puyu is a little scruple. That's the fourth year of Shaoding..."

It turned out that the fourth year of Shaoding, that is, three years ago, when Mongolia fought fiercely with the Jin Kingdom in Tongguan and the Yellow River, but it did not take any advantage. Ogedei ordered Tolei to lead his army through Hanzhong, follow the Han River and attack the hinterland of Nanyang of the Jin Kingdom.

The Southern Song Dynasty naturally refused, and they wanted to use the Jin Kingdom as a barrier. But Brother Meng was fierce. The Sichuan commander Gui Ruyuan was afraid of the enemy and was like a tiger. He did not want to resist the enemy. After being attacked, he abandoned the city and fled on the grounds that he did not receive the order of resistance.

As the Sichuan Army, he was the conscript of Sichuan, but because he was Shi Miyuan's confidant, he was just dismissed from office and dismissed...

Then there was a battle between Sanfeng Mountain outside Junzhou City, which completely destroyed the elite of the Jin Kingdom. The demise of the Jin Kingdom was a foregone conclusion. Seeing that things could not be done, the Southern Song Dynasty had to form an alliance with Mongolia and destroy the Jin Kingdom together!

After hearing what Zhao and Ju said, Qiu Zhiqing remembered that he had just come down the mountain and met Hong Qigong in Lantian. At that time, Hong Qigong was so angry that the officials of the Song State were at Dasan Pass.

When they heard about his experience when they first went down the mountain, they both sighed. If they had kept the Sichuankou in Xichuan, there would not be the situation today.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, Qiu Zhiqing said: "I firmly believe that as long as the generals are not afraid of death and civil officials do not love money, our Song Dynasty still has the power to fight. So what if the Mongolian army is powerful? This time I saw many Han soldiers in Bianliang. What does this mean?"

Meng Gong's face was shocked and said, "Chong and Niu Nose are right. When I was in Caizhou, I also saw that the Mongolian army was indeed strong in combat, but their number was not large. We only need to recover our hometown and compress the Central Plains territories they occupied. In this way, one will rise and fall, and it is not without the power of a battle!"

Zhao Yuju did not argue about this, picked up his wine glass and came to the side of the boat. He watched the West Lake traveling back and forth, and all kinds of gorgeous ships on the lake wandered comfortably in the lake, and felt a little moved.

In such a time of flowers blooming, good times and beautiful scenery, what's wrong with tasting wine and traveling to the lake? Why do you still have to provoke those northern barbarians? All the late emperors are like this, why should I?

Just as Zhao Yuju was thinking this way, his expression also calmed down and he began to appreciate the beautiful scenery of West Lake, Qiu Zhiqing said inappropriately: "The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and he makes Hangzhou Bianzhou..."

At some point, Qiu Zhiqing also stood beside Zhao Yuju, looking at the beautiful scenery of West Lake and the beauties of the lake, and expressed his envious and emotional expressions.

However, this was not the case with Zhao and Ju's ears. This was not Qiu Zhiqing's envy, it was clearly a silent mockery of Qiu Zhiqing's words.

Secretly ashamed of his desire to give up just now, Zhao Yuju turned sideways, looked at Qiu Zhiqing seriously, and said, "Brother Chonghe, you were born in the north, can you reveal the truth to me? How do the people in the north view my Zhao family?"

As soon as Zhao and Ju said this, Meng Gong, who was sitting there, wished he had not brought his ears today. This was really a big impact and he frowned at Qiu Zhiqing.

At the same time, I prayed in my heart: "My Chong and my brother, don't be careless, otherwise I won't be able to save you!"

Meng Gong's words in his heart were not as he wished, and Qiu Zhiqing heard them. However, Zhao and Ju's words made it difficult for Qiu Zhiqing to answer. Is this really good to complain about his ancestors in front of friends?

Perhaps seeing Qiu Zhiqing's hesitation, Zhao Yuju looked firm and said in an unquestionable tone: "Chong and brother, it's okay. There are only three of us here (Emperor Cao counts his shadow). The Emperor and Queen Tu are the proof. Even if someone pursues you with this matter, I will sacrifice my life to protect you!"

To be honest, Qiu Zhiqing was a little moved. After a while, Qiu Zhiqing said something that made Zhao Yuju speechless: "I am not very worried about myself. I am a visitor from the world, and I am free to come and go. What I am worried about is you!"

"It's okay!" The decisive words shocked Qiu Zhiqing a little. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Let me tell you a story. It's the matter of Jiading Thirteen. It was the first time I went down the mountain..."

So Qiu Zhiqing talked about the scenes that happened in Xihebao more than ten years ago, saying that he listened to Zhao Yuju and Meng Gong. The more Zhao Yuju listened, the more silent he became, while Meng Gong felt more and more cowardly he listened.

"Is that really that? I'm angry at him for not fighting, mourning his misfortune, and hating him for not doing anything? If the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition, where will you go?" Zhao Yuju looked at Qiu Zhiqing with bright eyes.

Qiu Zhiqing solemnly said the previous words: "If you are not a person of my race, your heart will be different! Loving the motherland and working hard for the country is the obligation of every Chinese person!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao and Ju shouted three times, then continued: "I was improvised to visit the lake today, but I was almost confused by the beautiful scenery. With a thought, I almost doomed it. Come! I'll drink the same thing!"

Although Qiu Zhiqing didn't know what he was talking about, he gave him face so much, so he naturally had to leave some face. This time Zhao and Ju poured wine for Meng Gong, and Meng Gong didn't dare to hide anymore. He honestly held the cup and clinked glasses with the two of them.

The next time is the key point. Meng Gong, Zhao and Ju took turns asking questions, and Qiu Zhiqing answered.

He asked about the people's livelihood and conditions of Shandong, Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong and other places where he had been to. Cao Eunuch quickly recorded it. At the same time, he asked in detail about the situation of the Yellow River and the capacity of each ferry.

Of course, Qiu Zhiqing could not answer it if it was too professional, but Meng Gong could get reliable data and answers from Qiu Zhiqing's narration.

In fact, he showed off in front of Qiu Zhiqing and Zhao Yuju. Especially Zhao Yuju, his eyes were getting worse and wrong when he looked at Meng Gong. This scene was seen by Qiu Zhiqing beside him, and he couldn't help but secretly worried about these two friends. What shouldn't happen between them, right?

The three of them spent the afternoon in this question and answer, and the old eunuch's record had two stacks of paper, one thick and one thin. The thick one was the two's questions and Qiu Zhiqing's answer, and the thin one was Meng Gong's conclusion.

The warm spring sun slowly slid down the Leifeng Tower in the distance, and the golden light shone on the sparkling West Lake, reflected in a cruise ship, with the faces of the three people beside the side of the boat.

It was Zhao and Ju who ended the Q&A!

Zhao and Ju couldn't help but recite half of the poem: "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's just near dusk!"

Maybe he felt that these two sentences were a bit inconsistent, Zhao and Ju filled their glasses with their glasses, and then raised their glasses with determination and said: "All the past is the prelude to the prelude to the north, starting from now on! I wish the Song Dynasty a prosperous future!" After that, he took the glass at once!

Qiu Zhiqing pondered for a moment, raised his glass to the cups of Zhao and Ju, and also wished: "Even if the crowds are surging and time is like arrows, I hope that all galloping can run towards the light! May the king's army settle in the north of the Central Plains!"

After saying that, he raised his cup and looked at Meng Gong. Zhao and Ju also looked at Meng Gong. At this time, Meng Gong lost his previous restraint. He opened his mind, smiled and said, "I wish the mountains and rivers are safe, the world is safe, the fireworks are facing the stars, and the pursuit of the death and the north is true!"

After saying that, the cup was raised in one go, and the three cups were pounding together. In the eyes of Eunuch Cao, the sunset disappeared into the world like a fairy pill falling into three cups, blending into the wine, and flowing into the belly of the three people...
