Chapter 358
Lao Cao kicked over the table, and the atmosphere in the hall was tense and extremely tense.

If you talk about Wu Qimai, Zacchaeus, Lou Shi and others present, which one is not a hero killed out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood?However, at this moment, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

The two great powers of Song and Liao joined hands to cut down gold, this is really the last scene that everyone here wants to imagine.

Especially after knowing the combat power of Cao Cao and others through Lou Shi and others.

The two sides stood facing each other, Cao Cao's eyes were like cold lightning, his face was covered with frost, and the corner of his mouth was slightly sneering.

But secretly rejoicing in my heart: Fortunately, Aguda only called these important ministers with extraordinary insight. If the generals gathered together on the first day, those brainless generals would have already shouted and shouted. Under the enraged crowd, Aguda also It may not be suppressed.

But now, Cao Cao's eyes swept away, and perhaps he was the only one who could be called reckless.

Sure enough, Nianhan's demeanor gradually became manic, and he roared: "The envoy of the Song Dynasty is really ignorant! Have you ever heard of the battle of Dagang with guards? 700,000 Liao army, our army can still defeat it in one fell swoop, so what if you send 300,000 troops in the Song Dynasty ? It’s amazing to come back to protect the step Dagang again!”

His words were bold and dry, but Cao Cao only smiled coldly, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Mr. Nianhan, do you want to deceive Wu Zhi and don't know how to fight? You don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. If the guard Dagang fights, I will fight with you." The emperor of the dynasty also asked all the generals to repeatedly deduce, hehe, the Jurchen army and horses are indeed brave, but if Yeluzhang Chunsheng did not rebel first and disturbed the army's morale, Emperor Tianzuo was afraid of dying, and fled before the battle, causing the Chinese army to collapse. Afterwards, the entire army will be destroyed, and who will win the battle is probably still unknown."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of King Jin and his ministers became even more ugly.

All of you present have participated in that battle before, and who doesn't remember the fear and terror in their hearts when facing the heavy army of the Liao Kingdom before the war started?
Some important ministers couldn't help turning their heads, looking at A Guda's old cheek, especially the deep knife mark on his face——

At that time, facing the fierce approach of the Liao army, the generals of the Jurchen army thought that the battle would be defeated. It was Aguda who gathered the crowd, cut his own face with a knife, and cried bitterly to the sky, saying: "Beginning when you rose up, Gai Ruo Khitan was cruel and wanted to stand on his own feet." The country. Zuo’s relatives are here today, what can I do? It’s not a human-to-death battle, and there’s no way to do it. If you don’t kill my family, you will surrender and turn disaster into blessing.”

Originally I led you to raise troops, just because the Khitan people were too oppressive and wanted to have my own country, but now Emperor Zuo personally brings the soldiers here, what should I do?Unless everyone fights to the death suddenly, they will definitely lose.I think it's better to kill my Wanyan clan, everyone surrender.

However, Jurchen generals, most of them have the surname Wanyan, and a few have other surnames, and most of them are married to Wanyan, how to "kill my family"?I can only ignore the dullness and risk my life to fight to the death.

In that battle, all the Jurchens put their lives at risk, coupled with the various mistakes of the Liao people, finally won a near-miraculous victory.

It was that battle that really made the Jurchen's confidence, and even as the years passed, they gradually took it for granted that they won, "Jurchen is dissatisfied and invincible".

However, Cao Cao ruthlessly tore off the veil of the legend in front of all the monarchs and ministers, and calmly pointed out the truth: If it hadn't been for the rebellion in the rear of the Liao Kingdom, or if Tianzuo hadn't fled before the battle, what would have happened?

This sentence will not hurt the Jurchen soldiers at the bottom, but for these leaders, it reminds them of the bewilderment and fear that they can hardly hold a knife, and the blood and tears on Aguda's face.

"Besides!" Cao Cao raised his chin, his expression becoming more and more contemptuous: "Even if you were lucky enough to defeat the 700,000 Liao army, did the Khitan just disappear? After all, the Khitan has been a century-old country, what kind of background? Even if you lose again and again, you can still fight However, the people of the Jin Kingdom, who were born and grew rapidly, seemed to occupy thousands of miles of land, and their momentum was extraordinary, but in fact they all relied on militarism and all the people were soldiers. It can be said that they have no foundation. The rest are all vassals, so for the noble dynasty, it is true that they can only win and not lose. Otherwise, there will only be a big defeat... Hehe, Wang Tu dominates? The dream is in vain!"

The Jurchen ministers couldn't help being shocked when they heard this.Cao Cao pointed out another question that none of them wanted to think about: Jurchen can't be defeated, Jurchen can't afford to be defeated!

"Shut up! Do you dare to speak wildly in front of my emperor, thinking that my big golden sword can't kill people?" Nianhan roared, drew the sword in his hand, his face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.

The Kingdom of Jin has not been established for a long time, and the etiquette is not complete. It is a matter of course for the officials to carry swords in the hall.

Cao Cao raised his head and laughed loudly, just as he was about to make a move, suddenly Hu Yanqing beside him drew out his sword and shouted: "It's not a disadvantage for me to use the sword!"

He cried bitterly in his heart: How can I be this person's opponent?But eating this Wu Zhi made me tired!That's all, if I die here today, it's a honor to see my ancestors, I hope I can have a good name in the history.

Cao Cao was slightly surprised, and glanced at Huyanqing approvingly, then looked at Nianhan, and said coldly: "Mr. Nianhan, the envoys we are waiting for are only three people, counting the servants of the post house, there are only more than a hundred, if you want It's not difficult to kill them. It's just that when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty come to the north in the future, and after hearing about today's events, I don't know how many people from the noble dynasty will be buried with them."

Under Nianhan's embarrassment, his savagery broke out. He really wanted to fight Lao Cao to the death, but he was worried that he would miss the important state affairs, so he was desperately depressed for a while.

Although this man is reckless and cruel, he is the honor of a gentleman after all, and he is not comparable to ordinary generals. Don't you know the weight of Cao Cao's words?Since the Jurchen soldiers started, they have always won every battle, and this is how they are today. However, the most elite Jurchen soldiers, after all, are only so many. As long as there is a big defeat, they may be beaten back to their original form.

Wanyan Zachou took a deep breath, and shouted: "Nianhan! We are talking about the important affairs of the two countries with the envoy of Song Dynasty. How can we allow you, a stupid donkey, to be rude? Get out quickly, and don't embarrass me for Dajin."

Nian Rare's father opened his mouth, knowing that he was using himself as a raft, and wanted to have a detailed talk with the Song envoy again, so he lowered his head and left the hall without saying a word.

Hu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, put the sword back into its sheath, and secretly felt complacent in his heart: Ah yes, but I don't have to die, hehe, today I drew my sword to confront Prince Jin, and spread the word later, who wouldn't praise me for my extravagance?Miaozai, Miaozai, a good name for nothing!
Seeing Wanyan Sage forced out a smile and said: "Haha, a fool is ignorant and blindly rude, but it makes the noble envoy laugh... Haha, thinking of the Liao Dynasty's ignorant emperor and chaotic government, the sky was angry and the people complained, and the alliance between the two dynasties was so important. It’s an act of following the heavens and responding to the people, how can it be put on hold? As for how to divide the land of the Liao Kingdom, we can discuss it slowly.”

Cao Cao pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, it is Wu who misunderstood everyone, please forgive me for being rude. But Wu still wants to say bluntly, the sixteen prefectures of Youyun are what our country must have! The alliance between Song and Liao since Tanyuan has been peaceful for a hundred years, if it is not for this homeland, why bother to break the promise and lose the alliance, and you will be ashamed in the history."

At this time A Guda said lightly: "Speaking of this, I have a question: I have heard for a long time that Song Liao is a country of brothers. Since he has already intended to join forces with Liao to attack me, why didn't Emperor Song negotiate directly with Liao Lord? Instead, he sent You guys, come thousands of miles away to discuss an alliance with us?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing shuddered suddenly, thinking: What a great Jin emperor!But the question is at the joint. If you ask me, I'm afraid I will show my timidity in court.

Cao Cao didn't care about it, and smiled secretly: "Your Majesty, don't talk about long-distance friendship and close-up attack, which are the foundation of vertical and horizontal, but only blood brothers. When there is still a wall, let alone two countries? Besides, it is those small merchants The people also know that business must be done with strangers in order to be fair. If they are acquaintances, they will involve favoritism, and there will be less competition, and it will be difficult for each other."

What he said was so clear that A Guda couldn't help but nodded, but he couldn't help showing a look of irony: "Business? The important affairs of the country, in your mouth, are you confused with the business of merchants?"

Cao Cao's smile narrowed, and he said seriously: "The so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Everything in the world is based on the same principle. Now, for example, two people are fighting each other to the death. My family has a treasured sword. If you want to sell it for a high price, you must first look for it. If you don’t buy it from the Yan family, you will suffer a little more and sell it to your neighbor, the Yelu family.”

A Guda sneered: "In this way, whoever becomes your neighbor is not unlucky?"

Cao Cao spread his hands and smiled, "My family originally wanted to be kind to others and be close to the neighbors, but Yelu, a strong neighbor, took up acres of my farmland and refused to return it. He was also jealous of my family's wealth and honor, and gave him some free money every year to live on. Only if we are willing to live in peace with each other. If we fight with him, he will not be afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, but it will waste my family's fortune in vain."

A Guda was speechless for a while, looking at the courtiers in front of the hall, a group of Jurchen bosses looked at each other, all showing strange expressions, Lou Shi suddenly said: "It is clear in this way, as far as we are concerned, at least his family's sword is always It cannot be sold to the Liao Kingdom."

Everyone nodded and sighed in unison: Forget it, so we have to buy it even if we don’t want to.

Aguda shook his head and smiled wryly: "Before Yang Pu talked history with me, saying that there were Su Qin and Zhang Yi in ancient times who manipulated the kings in the palm of their hands with their three-inch tongues. , finally opened my eyes. That’s all, your precious sword from the Song Dynasty was bought by the Kingdom of Jin—Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, all of which belong to the Song Dynasty.”

Both Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing were overjoyed.

Cao Cao sighed helplessly, no matter, the bid is so high, if the price is raised on the spot, it will be a bit ugly.

Besides, even if the price increase succeeds, it will be in vain if the army of the Song Dynasty cannot be defeated.This is like a capable shopkeeper, even though the business has been negotiated brilliantly and signed a great contract, but the owner has no capital to pay, that is really useless for a hero, and a clever woman can't cook without rice!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel depressed, and said to himself: Fortunately, I am not a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty. If I were a loyal minister, I would have the ambition to serve the country.If that's the case, and I don't want to vomit to death with my temperament, I'm afraid I have no choice but to follow the old plan of begging the emperor to beg for disobedience.

King Jin and his ministers exchanged glances, seeing Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing beaming with happiness, but Cao Cao's expression was expressionless, and they all said to themselves: This man is so deep in the city!

Aguda smiled, showing a friendly expression: "Since there is a consensus, the detailed rules are not negotiable today. It's not that I underestimated you and others, it's just that your envoy came here, and he didn't even have the letter of credence. It can be seen that it is just an exploration. If I say so lightly, it will appear that Da Jin has lost face."

Cao Cao sneered secretly, Xindao Tong Guan, Zhao Ji and others deal with state affairs like a woman's personal relationship, with one eye in one eye and one stomach in the other, but they have never used it in the right place, and they seem petty.

Immediately said: "It's not that we don't know etiquette, it's just that there are so many mountains and seas, and it's hard to know the truth. So let us look at the truth. If your country really keeps fighting with Liao Li, then you can talk about the alliance."

Poor old Cao is trying to help Da Song maintain his external dignity. It's not our pettyness. I just heard that you fought with the Liao country. I don't know if it's true or not. I came here to take a look. If it's true, I can sell knives. , if it's fake, I'll wait until I pat my butt and go back.

A Gu smiled and nodded, then suddenly looked straight at Cao Cao and said, "Wu Jiedu is such a great talent, why is he only serving as an envoy for a mere state Jiedu in the Gui Dynasty? If it is in my place, it would be nothing more than a leisurely appointment."

Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing suddenly became nervous, and looked at Cao Cao intently. Cao Cao said calmly: "Thanks to your majesty's love, I remember that during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of our dynasty, there was a scholar Zhang Yuan who failed in many trials and angrily voted for Xixia to help Yuan Hao. The founding of the country was highly valued, from officials to ministers. Everyone in Xia said that Song had geniuses but didn't know how to use them, which made us cheaper. But I don't know that those so-called geniuses are only for Xixia. Chinese characters are like this generation. The fighting capacity is innumerable - Wu Zhi may be useful in the eyes of His Majesty, but in the Song army, it is nothing more than that."

Hearing this, A Guda was stunned for a long while, then shook his head and sighed: "Thinking about China, it is in the middle of the world, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. After all, incense has been passed down for thousands of years, and talents have emerged in large numbers. It is not a strange thing."

The servant of Gushen Zhonggu, who was named Wanyan Xiyin in Chinese, suddenly said: "What Wu Jiedu said is undoubtedly deceptive. I heard that Zhang Yuan, who defeated the Song army in Haoshuichuan, wrote a poem saying: "Xia It is not surprising that Han Qi is so tall. The chariots of dragons and tigers are full of rivers, and they are still talking about military aircraft." If such characters are really large, the Song Dynasty should have annexed the world long ago. Why is there such a thing as Gaoliang River and Haoshui River? defeat?"

Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "Mr. Gu Shen understands why Zhang Yuan was able to show his sage and respect in Xixia? It is because no one can match him, so his talent can be displayed to the fullest. In the Song Dynasty, there were many talents, and they really came to work. Sometimes, they are often difficult to accept each other, the so-called 'dragons have no leader'. Hey, everything is too late, there are many talents, and each expresses his own opinion, which also has its own disadvantages."

Gu Shen nodded and remained silent.

Ah Gu dapin sucked for a while, he also felt reasonable, and nodded happily: "I have a talk with Wu Jiedu today, I only feel that I have benefited a lot, hehe, the future will be long, and I should ask Wu Jiedu to give me some advice."

coming!

Cao Cao's heart tightened, and he said with a smile: "Since His Majesty favors you, if you don't dislike him, you can often write letters. It is the honor of foreign ministers to be able to write and write with Your Majesty."

Ah Gu laughed and said: "It's so good, very good." Then he frowned and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't read."

Old Cao: "..."

A Gu laughed loudly, got up abruptly, and said loudly: "In my opinion, it might as well be like this——I asked Li Shanqing, Sandu, and Boda to be three envoys, holding my Dajin Kingdom's official letter, and following Dr. Ma, Commander Huyan, etc. People, go to the Song Dynasty together, meet the Emperor Song, and discuss the details of the alliance! Li Shanqing is from Bohai, Sandu is the mature Jurchen, and Boda is the birth Jurchen. They are all knowledgeable figures among the tribes. , is enough to represent Daikin. Well, Zacchaeus..."

Wanyan Zachou said: "The old minister is here."

Aguda ordered: "You go and prepare ten buckets of beizhu, a thousand catties of gold, a thousand horses of sable leather, a hundred catties of ginseng, and ten thousand catties of pine nuts, as a gift to the Lord Song to show the sincerity of our country."

Zacchaeus replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the old minister personally prepares, and there will be no loss."

A Guda said: "Very good. In this way, my sincerity is full. It's just that you have your own reasons, but in any case, you don't hold the credentials of the state, and you don't have any trust. So I pretended to be an envoy of the Song Dynasty, and came to negotiate an alliance with me. It would be rude to some extent. If I treat it with a villain's heart, why can't you be spies sent by Emperor Tian Zuo? Now for the good of the alliance between the two countries , treat you like a guest of honor, and send your confidant ministers there, if you are really sent by the Liao people, wouldn't you make the world laugh at my stupidity?"

Wanyan Sachang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you have such concerns, you might as well ask the three envoys to stay and wait for our envoys to discuss and confirm it. The Song Kingdom must send another envoy to hold the letter of credence and ask Your Majesty to draw a seal. Naturally, there is no doubt about it, so it would be convenient for the remaining envoys to go back together?"

Cao Cao's mind turned, the reason A Guda said was irrefutable, he and others came here strangely, who said it couldn't be a spy sent by Emperor Tianzuo to molest him?When it comes to the root of this matter, I still blame Tong Guan and others for their lack of courage, wanting to eat meat, and afraid of being beaten.

Immediately rushing to say: "In that case, let Commander Huyan stay."

Hu Yanqing was stunned for a while: Yeah?Isn't this Wu Mengde famous for his loyalty?I risked my life to draw my sword for him just now, and he sold it to me in a blink of an eye?

In the midst of grief and anger, Agu laughed and said: "Well, this is not right. Commander Huyan just drew his sword at Nianhan. My nephew is a narrow-minded barbarian. Sometimes he dares to obey my will. If If he avenged his personal revenge and harmed Commander Hu Yan, wouldn’t it ruin the great affairs of the two countries? It’s not right for Dr. Ma to stay, he’s a legitimate envoy, if we keep him, it would seem that I’m being unreasonable, hehe.”

Speaking of this, Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing naturally breathed a sigh of relief, but the Jurchen ministers all looked at Lao Cao and smiled—can't you say it?Aren't you going to scare us?What's going on now?Who told you that you have no credentials and trust?Such a conspiracy, can you break one and see?
A Guda and the ministers were on the same mind, and the more they talked, the more they laughed brightly, and they deliberately said with a twist: "So, after thinking about it, after thinking about it, Wu Jiedu is the most suitable! First, you help Lou You have made great achievements in fighting with us, and we all deeply feel their virtue. Moreover, Lou Shi and Zongxiong all regard you as a brother. They drink and hunt together on weekdays, and they will definitely not be bored. Three of them, Wu Jiedu has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge. , The words are interesting, and I love to talk to you very much, if you stay, I can always ask for advice, haha, who is it that you don't care?"

Lou Shi also laughed to make fun of him: "Yes, brother Wu, in fact, if you count the time, the envoys will only go back and forth for a year or two at most, so what is it?"

When it came to this point, Lao Cao Zidu couldn't refuse, so he could only cup his fists and smile bitterly: "Thanks to your Majesty's wrong love, if this is the case, the foreign minister will just stay in your court for a few days."

He secretly said in his heart: Aguda, don't say that I deceive you, I have already explained it here, but I just stayed for a few days.I didn't believe it, so I ran away. When an envoy comes with a letter of credence, are you still willing not to sign the covenant?hey-hey.

A Guda was also secretly proud: Today I made you a big hit, but in my territory, can I allow you to fly to the sky?It will take a year or two until the envoy of Song Dynasty comes again. I will grind you slowly. If you are willing to surrender, it will be convenient. If you are not willing, people like you cannot be used by me, so why should you stay in this world?It's terrible to let you die "unacceptable" before the Song envoy arrives. Could it be that the alliance between the two countries is for a Jiedu envoy?hey-hey.

The two of you look at me, I look at you, each harboring ghosts, smiling at each other

There are different teachings: each has his own ghost, each has his own poison, and each has his own burial.There has never been a hero without a gentleman, but fierce wolves fight evil jackals.

 I wanted to do two chapters today, but I changed and changed, but I couldn't do it after all.Ugh.
