Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

Wan Yanchuo boldly predicted that soon, the west side of the Dajin Kingdom would not be peaceful. At first, Jiang Ye didn't even think about what the so-called west side referred to. He thought that there would be turmoil in the Dajin Kingdom. The news came that the Mongols intend to go south to attack Xia, and they have already mobilized heavy troops, stationed on the border between the two countries, and may go south to launch an attack at any time.

At this time, only ten days had passed since Wanyan Chuo's conclusive deduction.

While Jiang Ye was shocked, he also admired Wanyan Chuo's exhaustive strategy. His family Chuo'er had just returned to the central capital and hadn't dealt with people in the center of power for a long time, but he was able to analyze the situation in the world based on minor changes. With such a clear and thorough understanding, he really deserves to be the one who caught him at a glance.

Wan Yanchuo guessed the next direction of the Mongols, but he didn't dare to be careless at all. At this critical moment, any carelessness may lead to catastrophe.

The situation was tense, and Wanyan Hongxi, who had always been on airs, couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to ask Wanyan Chuo to go to the study to discuss military affairs.

In this match between the father and son, Wanyan Chuo took the lead for the time being and won the next round with his strong psychological advantage of staying calm in the face of danger.

Outside the door of the study, Wan Yanchuo saw Si Tui, whom he hadn't seen for ten years. He was still as handsome as he remembered, but due to the hard work of practicing martial arts day and night for the past ten years, his previously too thin body had completely transformed. It has become the perfect proportion of being tall and strong now, and there is no longer the feeling of being weak in the past.

Reunited ten years later, Si Tui was obviously very excited. After kneeling down, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Si Tui has met the son of the world."

"Long time no see, Si Tui." Wanyan Chuo smiled kindly, bent down to help Si Tui up, patted his shoulder lightly, and said, "After I meet King Father, let's have a good time." Talk about the old days."

With red eyes, Si Tui nodded fiercely.

Bypassing Si Tui to the outside of the study, Wanyan Chuo raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Wanyan Hongxi's voice sounded a little old and tired, which Wanyan Chuo never expected.

With a trace of apprehension and uneasiness, Wanyan Chuo gently pushed open the door.

Wanyan Hongxi was sitting upright behind the desk, holding the scroll in one hand and gently rubbing his forehead with the other. His face was full of exhaustion, as if he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

"Father..." After shouting this, Wan Yanchuo suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt. The man in front of him was the person he respected the most in his life, and he was also a relative who always cared for him. , but I, because of anger, have been in a silent stalemate with this close relative for ten years, which is really unfilial.

Wanyan Hongxi is getting old, the corners of his eyes have begun to wrinkle, and his body is not as vigorous as when he was in his prime. Wanyan Hongxi clearly felt that he was powerless when he led the army this time. The Mongolians in the north are no better than the Song people in the south. I failed to fully understand my opponent, and underestimated the enemy to advance aggressively, which almost caused a catastrophe.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Hongxi had to admit that his own glorious era has passed, and now it is the world of young people. Wanyan Hongxi intends to abdicate to let the virtuous and train Wanyan Chuo to be his successor, but he is only worried about Wanyan. Young and energetic, arrogant and arrogant, he will suffer a lot no matter in court or on the battlefield.

It was Wanyan Hongxi's deliberate decision to admit defeat and agree to Wanyan Chuo's return to Zhongdu. The child is too young and needs to be practiced. Even if he stumbles, he can improve his memory. It might not be a bad thing.

"It's been so long since you've been back home, why don't you come to pay your respects?"

"Father made the mistake of blaming the child." Wan Yanchuo smiled innocently: "It's not that the child didn't come to pay his respects, it's just that the child has been waiting for the father to summon the child, and the father has not summoned the child for a long time, and the child thought that the father was still angry. How dare you take the initiative to make father unhappy."

"Slick tongue!" Wanyan Hongxi snorted coldly through his nose: "Is this the trick your mother taught you?"

Wan Yanchuo smiled, noncommittal.

Wanyan Hongxi sighed, he had always placed high hopes on this son: "Chao'er, do you know why the father asked you to come back this time?"

Wanyan Chuo actually had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't take the initiative to point it out, but asked rhetorically: "The child is stupid, please tell me clearly."

"How stupid are you, you kid is almost too smart."

"Hearing my father say that makes me ashamed." This is not self-effacing, but a joke with the closest person after unloading the burden. For a while, the father and son seem to have returned to ten years When they were intimate before, there was no Wanyan Hongxi's self-righteous care and care, nor Wanyan Chuo's willful and unrepentant stubbornness.

Wanyan Hongxi looked at Wanyan Chuo dumbfounded, and said softly: "Chuoer, my father led the army to fight against the Mongols this time. He said it was a victory, but he didn't get any real benefits from the Mongols. He said it was a defeat, but he also won't win." It's the first time my father and king have encountered such an embarrassing situation of being invincible and invincible without losing the teacher and humiliating the country, so it can be said that he is not aggrieved."

"Father, don't be too humble." Wanyan Hongxi disagreed with Wanyan Hongxi's point of view: "The Mongolian army is coming in a menacing way, and they came here to steal the land of our Dajin Kingdom. My Dajin people, my father was ordered to lead the army to fight against the enemy, and protect the magnificent rivers and mountains of our Dajin Kingdom without losing an inch of land. The Mongolian iron hoofs could not drive straight in, and the people were safe and safe, free from the pain of plunder. Father worked hard and made great achievements. This battle can be described as Big win."

Although he knew that Wanyan Chuo was comforting himself, Wanyan Hongxi still felt very relieved after hearing these words. "Chuo'er, the father is old, and he can no longer lead soldiers and fight wars..."

"Father, why should you underestimate yourself...Think about Wei Gong Cao Mengde once wrote a poem saying, "The old man is standing still, his ambition is a thousand miles away, and the martyr is in his old age, and his ambition is endless...My father is in his prime, so why bother..."

Raising his hand interrupted Wanyan Chuo's slick tongue, Wanyan Hongxi sighed, his eyes showed obvious fatigue.It is probably the most embarrassing thing in the world for a general to grow old and have a beautiful hair. That's why there is an old saying that since ancient times, famous generals are like beautiful women, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.

Compared to Wanyan Chuo's emotions, Wanyan Hongxi is quite open-minded. The nobles of the clan, who occupy a high position, turn their hands into clouds and rain, and at his age, he probably has seen all kinds of big storms. If you don't be surprised by favor or humiliation, you will naturally stop hurting the spring and autumn, and complaining about yourself.

"Chuoer..." Wanyan Hongxi sighed repeatedly, he knew very well in his heart that he was not a general who commanded the three armies, and he was asked to lead the troops to the expedition, but because there was no one in the court at the moment, and the King of the Kingdom of Jin was ill. Having been ill in bed for a long time, in such an extremely insecure situation, after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be cranky and suspicious. Now, except for this youngest and most beloved son, the King of Jin has no one to trust. , as a last resort, Wanyan Hongxi will accept the order in the face of danger. In fact, the moment Wanyan Hongxi went out to fight, he knew that he could only get by with all his strength. The Guozuo Sheji of the Dajin Kingdom has been in decline, so Wanyan Hongxi thought of his only child, Wanyan Chuo.

This is also a responsibility that Wanyan's descendants cannot shirk.

Wanyan Hongxi selfishly made this decision for Wanyan Chuo, and he felt guilty, and only hoped that when the truth came to light in the future, Wanyan Chuo would not resent him.

"Chuo'er, my father asked you, the Mongols stationed heavy troops at the border, gearing up, intending to divert their routes to attack Xia. The Xia Kingdom was up and down, like a frightened bird, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. They sent envoys in a panic, bringing generous gifts to my Dajin, intending to borrow troops. , but my King Kong fought with the Mongolian army, and my vitality has been injured, and I haven't had a chance to recuperate for a while. How should I deal with this dilemma?"

Wanyan Chuo turned his head to think for a while, and said solemnly: "If the father wants to know the opinion of the boy, the boy not only advocates borrowing troops, but also advocates forming a military alliance with Xia Guo to jointly defend against the enemy."

"Why?"

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the house is in danger." Wanyan Chuo patiently analyzed the pros and cons with Wanyan Hongxi, because he knew that Wanyan Hongxi was not a fatuous person, and he could listen to his own advice: "Mongols are wolves with ambition. From the beginning of the various ministries, there was an ambition to go south to destroy the three kingdoms of Jin, Xia, and Song, and to dominate the world. The attack on my Dajin before was not only to spy on the truth, but also to deter my Dajin from forming an alliance with Xia. However, the Mongolian attack on the Xia Kingdom will definitely not stop at the Xia Kingdom. After the Xia Kingdom is destroyed, the next one to suffer will be our Dajin Kingdom, so we have to guard against it."

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. Many ministers in the DPRK suggested that Mongolia and the Xia Kingdom are fighting against each other. Our Dajin Kingdom might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. After the two countries decide the winner, we can take action to win the battle." What does Chuoer think of the fisherman's profit?"

"Inappropriate." Wanyan Chuo shook his head without thinking, "Raising a tiger for a day is a threat for a thousand days. My father fought against the Mongolian army, how do you think the Mongols are capable?"

Wanyan Hongxi said eight words, a very precise evaluation: "He is brave and good at fighting, and he is not afraid of death."

"Then father thinks, our Jurchen warriors and the Mongol warriors are fighting against each other, which one is stronger and which one is weaker?"

"This..." Wanyan Hongxi really didn't want to build up other people's aspirations and destroy his own prestige, but if he said that the Jurchen warriors had better fighting power against his conscience, he would be talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Seeing through Wanyan Hongxi's intention to protect his weaknesses, Wanyan Chuo didn't say anything, and said bluntly: "My child thinks that although our Jurchen warriors are equally brave and good at fighting, and are not afraid of death, if they unite with the warriors of the Xiang clan of the Xia Kingdom, wouldn't it be wrong to deal with the Mongols? It's as easy as turning the palm of your hand, and you can grab it with your hands."

Wanyan Hongxi understood, Wanyan Chuo meant uniting the weak against the strong, although he was unwilling to admit it, but as the weaker side of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongolian family in the north could not let the Mongolian family dominate. The old saying makes sense.

"Chao'er, since you strongly advocate forming an alliance with Xia Guo, are you willing to lead the army?"

Wanyan Chuo had been waiting for this opportunity, and knelt down without saying a word: "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely fulfill his mission."
