Archery of Gongshou Rivers and Mountains

On the wharf in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already officials beating gongs and drums to greet them, waiting for the mission to disembark.Wan Yankang was at the end of the team, watching them being enthusiastic on the one hand, modest on the other, and friendly with each other, they were so affectionate.

Although it is not the first time Wanyankang has seen such a scene, he has also seen envoys from Song and Xixia go to the Kingdom of Jin to celebrate the New Year and the birthday of Lord Jin before. Most of them fought fiercely on the border. If you kill my border generals, we will Kill your guard, but the messengers are chatting and laughing.

But every time I see Wanyan Kang, I still can't help grinning in my heart.This is also the reason why he knows that he will never "achieve great things". Regardless of his past and present lives, he is a warrior by nature.He can put on airs, lie and deny things when it comes to small things, but when it comes to big things, all the bones and meridians in his whole body will tense up.

Wanyan Honglie chatted and laughed with the Southern Song official, but turned his head but disappeared Wanyan Kang. After searching for a long time in the crowd, he saw him standing far away among the guards with his arms crossed.Wanyan Honglie thought for a while, but finally held back and didn't call him.

Along the way, when he was in the Kingdom of Jin, although Wanyan Kang was not wearing armor, he was always wearing a war robe, with a bow and arrows on his back, and his sword never left his body.But when he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he immediately changed into the deep clothes of the Han family and dressed like a literati.Wanyan Honglie naturally knew that he didn't want to arouse hostility from the south just because of any of his favors.

Wanyan Honglie also felt helpless when Wanyankang did this, but thinking about it, he only heard about this from Bao Xiruo, and this is the first time he has seen his mother country today. Thinking people, this is a good thing.

Therefore, under Wanyan Honglie's intentional indulgence, Wanyan Kang, the prince of Zhao and one of the deputy envoys of the embassy, ​​suddenly became a decoration. If he didn't look for it specially, no one would know that there was such a number in the embassy. human existence.

Some people in the mission thought it was Zhao Wang and his son who had quarreled, but one day they saw the father and son drinking and chatting in the courtyard, so they knew there was nothing wrong.But why this world son is like this, no one knows.

On this day, everyone has arrived in Lin'an City.When entering the city, looking at the city wall of Lin'an, Wanyan Kang couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional - from the Zhao family moved south until it was destroyed by Mongolia, the Southern Song Dynasty never had a capital city, only Xingzai, that is, wherever the emperor patrolled, no matter in the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, The capital of Song Dynasty was only Zhiliang.

From this point of view, the determination of the Southern Song Dynasty to recapture the Northland is still very strong, but just like the determination of the Northern Song Dynasty to recapture the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures has always been very strong. Although the idea is good, it always makes mistakes...

They moved into the release hall, and that night, "a young man in white" came to visit.

"Ouyang!" Wan Yankang has been very bored by "living in seclusion" for the past few days, but he is afraid of doing something wrong, so he can only be bored. Now that Ouyang Ke is here... it is the first time he has seen him so happy Bar.

"It's the first time you've seen me smiling so happily." Of course Ouyang Ke was still that Ouyang Ke, dressed in white with a jade crown, swaying a folding fan, with a flirtatious smile on his lips, he was a standard dude.

"I have dragon and phoenix tea in my room, do you want to try it?"

"Naturally, I have to try it!" Ouyang Ke's eyes lit up. In the Song Dynasty, drinking tea was tea cakes, and Longfengtuan tea was known as tribute tea by its name. Apart from the emperor's family, only favored ministers could drink it. Get a few small pieces that have been cut off, and most of them don't give up drinking, but treasure them at home.Even if such an extremely human minister is like this, the world is reckless, no matter how famous Ren is, this kind of thing is impossible to come across.

Wan Yankang brought Ouyang Ke into the house, and took out the teapot with tea cakes, but before he could throw the tea cakes into the pot, Ouyang Ke criticized them together.

"I gave you such a good thing, you really are chewing peonies!" Ouyang Ke slapped his fan beside him, stood up and squeezed Wan Yankang away, "You use such things to make tea?" Ouyang Ke said in disgust After looking at the white porcelain teapot Yan Kang used. "It contains a lot of water to quench your thirst."

"..."

"I remembered, there was a set of tea sets along with the round tea. It's just for drinking tea, why do you need so many cumbersome things?" Wan Yankang sighed.

"..."

"Okay~ I'll take it out for you." Wanyan Kang actually deliberately teased Ouyang Ke. He already knew that although Ouyang Ke was from the western regions, he was not inferior to any sour literati in the south of the Yangtze River in arty.

"These tea sets are all new, but they can't be used now." Seeing Wanyan Kang take out those tea sets, Ouyang Ke was overjoyed at first, then sighed.The objects pointed out one by one, this one needs to be washed with warm tea, the other needs to be held in cold water, and the silk on the silk sieve looks good but it will damage the fragrance of the tea, so it needs to be replaced.

"I don't understand these things." Although Wanyan Kang thought it was funny at the beginning, he was overwhelmed by what he said after a while, "Why don't you just give it to you with the ball of tea."

"give me?"

"You said that I am a cow chewing peony, but you are right." Wanyan Kang said with a smile, "Whether it is the tribute tea that is hard to buy, or the rough tea on the street that costs a penny and can be refilled, I It tastes the same when you drink it. It’s like an ordinary woodcutter, no matter how famous a sword is in his hand, he only uses it to chop firewood. For me, drinking water is to quench my thirst.”

"You actually drank such good tea that it tasted like rough tea? No... Could it be that you drank it before I came?" Ouyang Ke was still touched just now, but after hearing Yan Kang's comparison, he immediately turned pale.

"Of course I drank it, how do you treat it?" Wanyan Kang raised his eyebrows, but it was just some tea leaves, Ouyang Ke actually spoke to him in such a tone, he suddenly felt unhappy.

Ouyang Ke was stunned for a moment, and also realized that his tone was too much, and immediately brought up the white porcelain pot that Wanyan Kang used at the beginning: "This is the first time you give me something, I can't help it for a while, Guangli, don't be angry. It's better for me Let’s brew the tea now, so I can vent my anger on Guangli’s behalf.”

"You are so distressed that your hands are shaking, forget it, and besides..."

"Ok?"

"I drank it at my father's place before, but he did exactly what you said. He said that I was a cow chewing peonies, and I didn't know what was good. I didn't spoil your good things. Don't worry. I was a little bit angry just now, but I want to apologize to you."

"I like it when you lose your temper with me. After all, you lose your temper only when you make out with me, are you right?" Ouyang Ke returned to his playful nature, smiled and approached Wanyan Kang, holding his hands together. It rested on his shoulder, and all the exhaled air was blown on Wanyan Kang's neck.

"Ouyang, let's get down to business when you've had enough intimacy." If you continue to tease him like this, it will probably be endless. Wanyan Kang ignored the bristling hair on his neck, and pulled a stool aside to signal him to sit over.

Ouyang Ke curled his lips, this is just getting better, why did he suddenly jump to the real business?One by one, the difference and importance of business and private affairs are obviously different from others.Ouyang Ke habitually wanted to talk a little bit, ask Wanyan Kang for some favors, and then talk about business, but before he could say anything, he remembered that Wanyan Kang was not very human.

Only the other party can flirt with me about the tea, it is the limit.If you want to make further progress, then [-]% of the gains will outweigh the losses.So he obediently sat aside, but the old habits were still hard to change. Seeing Wanyan Kang's hand on the table, he stretched out his own hand and put it on the back of his hand.

Wanyan Kang glanced at him, sighed helplessly, but did not avoid it, Ouyang Ke was satisfied now, but the first sentence he opened his mouth made Wanyan Kang's eyes widen in astonishment, he said: " Mongolia and Song will not unite."

"Why?"

"In case the shoe target succeeds and directly invades the Central Plains, or the chieftain flees and approaches the border; or fears the heroes of the Central Plains. ',' It is not enough to be happy when a weak captive is destroyed and a strong enemy is born. The former sentence was said by Yu Duanli, the left minister in the second year of Qingyuan, and the latter sentence was said by an official named Wei Jing.Nowadays, most of the scholars in the south also have the same attitude.

"..." Wanyan Kang frowned, but it was a little hard to understand.He didn't know about Yu Duanli, but he knew about Wei Jing, because he had been an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. Although he was still young at that time, because Wanyan Honglie had told him about this person in particular, he remembered it clearly.

He said that Wei Jing was "upright and sincere, with the demeanor of Wei Zheng in Tang Dynasty", and this was the first person Wanyan Honglie knew who could be praised so highly by Wanyan Honglie.That is to say, Wei Jing who has this idea is definitely not a traitor, but a straight minister.Ouyang Ke also said that people in Shilin have such an attitude, which shows that the Southern Song Dynasty still had a very calm view of diplomacy. Why did they still unite with Mongolia in the end?

Is it because this is the world of fiction, so people's views are different from the official history?

In fact, Wan Yankang misunderstood this. In the real history, the scholar-officials in the Southern Song Dynasty also had the same attitude.As for why it got to such a point in the end, the fault was not that the Southern Song Dynasty was short-sighted, but that Jin Guo was short-sighted.

It turned out that according to history, Xuanzong should be in power now in the Kingdom of Jin. He agreed with his courtiers' point of view of "taking compensation from Song". While being beaten bloody by Mongolia, he launched an attack on Song.Before he attacked the Song Dynasty, although Mongolia had been winking at the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty had always been honest with them.

Because of Xuanzong's actions, the Southern Song Dynasty began to have frequent contacts with Mongolia.Until Jin Aizong came to the throne, the war against Song was stopped.The Southern Song Dynasty immediately threw Mongolia aside, and the Southern Song Dynasty even helped Jin defend the line of defense on the Southern Song side.But helplessly, because of the general's command error, the Mongolian army was still brought in, which created a de facto excuse.

The Southern Song Dynasty united Mongolia, because the Jin Kingdom at that time had been crippled, and could no longer serve as a barrier between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia, and was of no use to the Southern Song Dynasty.Instead of making Mongolia completely cheaper, why not #打# in the Southern Song Dynasty?

Wan Yankang always thought that the diplomatic strategy of the Southern Song Dynasty was wrong, but in fact, at least during the period when Jin, Mongolia, and Song were entangled, there was nothing wrong with the diplomatic strategy of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although Wanyan Kang didn't understand why, whether it was true in the official history or only in the world in the novel, if this was true, it would be a good thing for him anyway.

"Ouyang may be sure?"

"If Guangli doesn't believe it, why don't you come with me and hear it for yourself?" Ouyang Ke didn't care about Wanyan Kang's suspicion, raised an eyebrow and asked with a light smile.

"My identity... I won't be in any trouble if I inquire about this openly?"

"Don't worry, Guangli, there won't be any trouble where I'll take you." Wanyan Kang was puzzled, but since Ouyang Ke said so, he really wanted to hear it for himself, so he nodded .

"It's also suitable for Guangli's clothes, let's go." Still not letting go of Wanyan Kang's hand, Ouyang Ke grabbed him and went out.After a while, looking at the vermilion plaque in front of him, Wanyan Kang fell silent. Ouyang Ke brought him here, not any other place, but a women's cadre house...a very large women's cadre house.
