Dong Kai, who was in Hanzhong, had also received the official document from Longxi and set off for Lin'an.
He will definitely not be able to come back for the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, he has many close friends in Lin'an, and he plans to bring some more book boxes back to Hanzhong. There are not many people in this city. In addition to the boy, there are two others.
Guards sent from the army to protect him.
Taking a boat down the Han River, the wind and water went smoothly, and I specifically asked the boatman to speed up the journey. On the 23rd of the clear month, Chongji arrived in Lin'an. Before the New Year, the city in Jiangnan was bustling with activity, and Hangzhou Street
It was filled with the sound of hawking.
There was the sound of string music coming from the Chacheng Wine Shop, and from time to time, someone could be heard reciting poems and composing poems. These sounds were the ones Dong Lan was most familiar with. He went straight to Jia Sidao's house to hand over a greeting card, and then handed Li Xia to
Jia Sidao's letter.
Dong Jie is from Taizhou and is from the same hometown as Jia Sidao. This is one of the reasons why Lian Xixian chose him as a lobbyist.
The concierge of the Jia Mansion looked arrogant and dismissed Dong Zhi in a tone that looked down upon foreign officials. However, not long after Dong Kai returned to stay at Qin Jia's home, another servant came to invite him.
"Mr. Pingzhang is busy and I won't have time to see you in the next few months. If you want to see me, please do it today."
Yu Kai then returned to Jia's Mansion again, passed through the pavilions and pavilions, and stepped into a flower hall as warm as spring. He saw Jia Sidao, who was wearing a light fur quilt and a quilt, sitting there with thoughtfulness in his eyes.
"I have met Mr. Ping Zhang."
Jia Sidao did not look back and said: "This year, Li Xuan first asked for help, and the imperial court then sent three groups of carts to the north, and the troops were approaching Kaifeng and Cangzhou. However, Li Zeng was incompetent and was trapped in Jinan, unable to cooperate with Wang Shuai.
, the fire was overturned early, and the soldiers of the imperial court were killed. Now that Li Xia has come to ask for help, does he really think that the imperial treasury is full and the troops are sufficient? "
Jia Mansion said: "The Mongolian army first attacked our Shandong Pond of the Great Song Dynasty, and then attacked the Sichuan and Shaanxi areas of our Great Song Dynasty. They have destroyed the King of Qi and want to destroy the King of Pingling County. This shows that they are determined to invade the Song Dynasty. Our Great Song Dynasty
·.·""You don't need to say more."
Yin Dai moved back to Jia Mansion and said: "I won't listen to lies. Yin Dai offered support to the imperial court and offered the sea and the land connecting two states. Now Li Xia asks for help, and the same goes to Kuizhou and Wanzhou."
"Why did Jia Sidao say this? Yin Dai was a foreign minister who came to surrender, but the princes and counties were all ministers of the Song Dynasty. Kuizhou and Wanzhou were also under the rule of the Song Dynasty, but they were just... waiting for the imperial court to send troops.
After taking over Shengzhou and Wanzhou, we will send reinforcements northward, do you understand?"
"I"
"If you can't make the decision, send a message as soon as possible and ask. Don't mention the rest." Before the Jia family could say anything more, Pingzhang Gong raised his hand and pointed his head in a drunken manner.
"That's all, let's get out."
From beginning to end, he never turned his eyes.
Gu Dai had prepared many words but could not speak. She took a deep look at Ping Zhanggong's figure, knowing that it was really difficult to persuade Jia Sidao, who now covered the sky with only one hand, so she shook her head helplessly and said nothing.
Zhang Gong's words, which clearly regarded state affairs as a transaction, also disappointed the Jia family.
Sichuan and Shaanxi are preparing for war vigorously. From the officials of various states and counties to the common people, they are talking about "the ambition to eat Hulu meat when hungry, and the laughter and thirsty to drink and create slaves." However, Lin'an City seems to have forgotten the events of Jingshi.
The shame is still there.
Nobility is as ruthless as Taoism, and only deals with transactions. "The Court of the Song Dynasty..."...
Wang Shu came out of the Jia Mansion and raised his eyes to look at the nearby Phoenix Mountain. He was stunned for a long time, and his shoulders and back slumped slightly.
In fact, he was not Li Xia's confidant, nor did he want to help Li Xia rebel. This time, he came here just as a minister of the Song Dynasty, reporting border affairs to the court and requesting reinforcements. But Pingzhang Gong believed that Jia's family belonged to Li Xia.
, spoke frankly, completely forgetting that Jia's family was a minister of the Song Dynasty.
After meeting Li Xia's envoy, Pingzhang Gong stood up and took two steps in the hall, his eyes becoming more thoughtful. He knew that the war in the north seemed to have nothing to do with the imperial court, but in fact it was far more related.
Kublai Khan was a very formidable enemy, and Pingcao Gong was very confused about this. During the Battle of Ezhou, he fought against Kublai Khan, and he deeply understood that a man who not only controlled powerful soldiers and horses, but also used northern literati
How terrible the king is.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty was controlled by the imperial system and the legal system, while Kublai Khan used the Han system for his own use. The difference was huge. Ping Zhanggong was afraid of Kublai Khan, so he modestly negotiated peace and defrauded him of the old coins.
If it weren't for this fear in his heart, he could have told Kublai Khan with an unyielding and resolute attitude that the Song people were not easy to bully, and that he could first plunder the Song Kingdom and then go back to fight for the throne.
He needed to be more ruthless than Kublai Khan to scare him away, but Ping Zhanggong couldn't do it, so he gave in and surrendered.
As for his nonchalant attitude afterwards, using the tone of "Hahaha, you were fooled by me" to prove that Pingzhang Gong was not afraid of Kublai Khan, only Pingzhang Gong himself knows the truth.
In short: Kublai Khan must beware.
After Yu Kai raised the flag, Ping Zhanggong still advocated sending troops, and the imperial court indeed sent out three troops to support him.
Unfortunately, in the final result, Xia Gui was defeated, Qingyang Mengyan retreated hastily, and the naval commander Zhao Maer, who was supported by the sea, was even more imprisoned. The ship was stranded on the coast of Shandong for several months, and was returned to Ping Zhanggong after returning.
I made up a story about "The Poseidon Moved and Said".
It is said that they saw a giant with red skin and green eyes every day on the sea, holding the sun slowly rising with its head on its head. The soldiers were extremely frightened by this. Ping Zhanggong was exhausted mentally and physically.
Will we send more troops to respond to Li Xia this time?
Let Li Xia, a white-eyed wolf, resist Kublai Khan. The best case scenario would of course make them both lose.
Out of fear of Kublai Khan and believing that Li Xia was completely unable to withstand Kublai Khan's cart, he wanted to send troops. However, the imperial court had no spare power after supporting Yin Dai's victory.
Is Li Xia really unable to resist Kublai Khan? Maybe he can?
On the contrary, if you support Li Xia, what if this white-eyed wolf bites you back in the future?
These thoughts kept running through Ping Zhanggong's mind, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Finally, he said that he wanted Li Xia to return Kuizhou, and Wanzhou...that was all he could do. "The national situation is difficult..."
The sound of firecrackers sounded in the distance, showing the prosperity and stability of Lin'an during this New Year's Day. Yin Daice, lamenting the difficult national situation, shook his head and stopped thinking about it. In short, the war was far from reaching the south of the Yangtze River.
--
Jia Mansion thought about it and thought that the imperial court may not really have Ping Zhanggong single-handedly controlling the sky and not care about the war in Sichuan and Shaanxi, so it may not be that there are people who are worried about the war. So he went to find his mentor. In the same year,
He also sent greetings to several important ministers in an attempt to persuade them to send troops...
There were generous and enthusiastic people who expressed their determination to fight against the foreign invaders to the end.
But fighting against the captives and returning to fighting against the tigers, now that the Prince of Pingling County is guarding Sichuan and Shaanxi, this matter is not urgent. The Chinese New Year is about to come. After a group of contemporaries made an impassioned speech to the Jia family during the day, they returned home to
Buy new year goods.
It was not possible for a foreign official like him to facilitate such a major event as sending troops.
After running around for several days, Yin Dai only received donations of money and materials from enthusiastic people in Lin'an, and purchased a shipload of supplies to support the war. The shipload of supplies made people dumbfounded.
"well."
That day, when Jia Fu returned to his residence, he sighed and turned around, only to be surprised. "Who are you?!"
"Shh."
The man who was sitting in the room raised his finger and put it on his big mouth. He said "Shh" and said gracefully: "Uncle Zheng, don't be shocked." You...how do you know my handwriting?
?”
"Brother Ashan told me, and he also brought me in."
This Ashan was one of the guards sent from the Hanzhong Army to protect the Jia Mansion. At this time, the Jia Mansion immediately realized what was happening, but still asked: "Why did he want you to come in?"
"Because he is from the Qing Department. He is responsible for taking care of me when he comes to Lin'an with you this time. "Who are you?"
The man sitting there smiled again, and slowly moved the hair on his forehead. "Who am I? The current situation in the world is caused by me."
Yin Dai was shocked when she heard Bi Chu. However, when the other party slowly announced his name, it was a name he had never heard before. "Li Zan."
--
After listening to Li Fen for a while, Jia Mansion roughly understood what happened.
Although Yukai was destroyed this time, Li Ming brought more than 10,000 people and a lot of supplies from Shandong. The fleet was not too small and it was difficult to go up the Yangtze River to Chongqing in a grand manner, so it was temporarily anchored in a place called Shengshan.
island place.
To put it more complicated, Li Fen needed to use the Jia Mansion to obtain a name that could pass through the Yangtze River. "Since the Song Dynasty sent troops to support, and there were many scholars and people supporting it, it was just right." Li Tan seemed to be sitting on his own.
Special at home, I poured a cup of tea and invited Fei Fu to sit down, and talked eloquently: "It's just time to let some of our large ships go westward, and the rest will be slowly disguised as merchant ships when the time comes."
The Jia family did not ask Li Rui why he did not contact the court directly but went to Shu even though he had to go to Shu with such great effort.
Not to mention the court's attitude towards people returning from the north, in just these few days, even he himself could compare the differences between the court and Sichuan and Shaanxi.
Thinking of this, the Jia family became more and more generous. Later, they heard Li Fen knock on the case and said: "Please be more serious about the letter. Now the war is critical and Guanlong is in urgent need of my support."
The sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the nearby courtyard wall, as if they were not used to hearing Shedai's arrogant words. These out-of-place foreigners were still talking about war, and the New Year was approaching.
It will soon be the fourth year of Xianding in the Song Dynasty. After the sound of firecrackers, people in the alleyway cheered. "Bidding the old and welcoming the new, may you have good luck every year..."
