Chapter 1077 The Bottom Line of the Great Song Dynasty
"Has the Jurchens reached the point where the officials are all worried? Since the officials are worried, will the Liao people already fortify them? ”
"There is a great misunderstanding in the attitude of the Liao people towards foreign enemies, even our Great Song Dynasty is the same, the official family once said that the Liao people always think that my Great Song Dynasty is their biggest threat in their minds, but on the contrary, the real threat of the Liao people is the Jurchens, to be precise, the Jurchen Wanyan Department."
"Is it possible? Wanyan is a dog of the Liao people! How much have you helped the Liao people over the years? How could it be them? ”
"How could it not be? The official family did not trust the Jurchens from the beginning, especially Wanyan Wugunai of the Wanyan Department, this person seems to be a loyal servant of the Liao people and a close confidant of Yelu Hongji, but he secretly contacted my Great Song Dynasty, which shows that this person is very thoughtful, if you see him later, be wary! ”
"Don't worry, I know the stakes if you remind me, if you can't get it, you can report it to the official's family and discuss it again."
Rat San's words made Cai Boyu's face change: "So the official family already has a sense of foremininity? Or is there another way out? ”
"I don't know this, but the official family passed the decree before, if this road doesn't work, you can take another path." With the words of Rat San, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and Cai Boli looked at the Jurchens who were not far away in front of him and sighed slightly.
"The official family is wise, and getting along with the Jurchens is not the best choice, if there is another way, we will have the confidence to negotiate with the Jurchens, and it can even be said that even if the talks collapse, it will not affect the overall situation."
Once people have confidence, it will be very different, the original Cai Boyu wanted to do everything possible to reach an agreement with the Jurchens, but the suspicion of the official family and the fact that he did not want to let others make an alliance with the Jurchens gave Cai Boyu another choice.
If the Jurchens go too far, then it is also a good way to end, end the consultation with the Jurchens, and return everything to the starting point.
The camp of the Jurchens was already close at hand, and it was impossible for the mission to go to the Wanyan Department to meet Wanyan Wugunai, and Wanyan Wugunai could not appear in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, at most send their own women to make the Song more fidelity.
The three thousand elites of the Great Song Dynasty stopped, and the Jurchens did not send horses as agreed, so the Great Song Dynasty had no cavalry for a long time, and this is a large plain, and the distance between the two armies is about three miles.
The scouts returned, and word came that the Jurchens had proposed that both armies should be stationed in place, and that Wanyan Ugunai and Cai Boyu would meet in the middle.
Cai Boli smiled: "See, Wu Gu Nai is really "intimate" to put out all the prices before the negotiation, looking like he is thinking about you, this is rare!" ”
Rat San nodded and smiled: "No, we said that we can't be in the valley, and people have met all our requirements, so it can be seen that the Jurchens must trade with our Great Song Dynasty!" Be careful on the road, if the Jurchens ask too much...... Forget it, you know it's time for us to do it. ”
"Don't worry, we have a way out!" Cai Boyu went forward as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, and when he left, he was quite relaxed and chic, and he had the meaning of going to the meeting with a single knife.
Cai Boli really didn't bring his own soldiers, not even a person, and he was wearing a soft and gorgeous official uniform today, saying that it was a little inaccurate to say that the official uniform, Rat San felt that Cai Boyu was a little inappropriate to wear a horse's court uniform to see Yan Wugunai, but he felt that Cai Boyu was fatter than before............
The place of negotiation is between the two armies, and if something happens to either side, it will cause a conflict between the two armies, and in the end, the other will also pay the price, which is the best way and a deterrent balance.
The place of negotiation can be said to be very simple, there is not even a fence, only a roaring bonfire, which glows slightly pale in the daylight, and a fat sheep on the grill is dripping oil, which is already quite a good treat for the Jurchens.
The Jurchen warriors around were not a little shabby compared to the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the only long knife that could be held was also a bargain in Cai Boyu's eyes, and the weapons in the hands of others were even more unbearable.
Shui Mao, who had seen it before, was also among them, but he was wearing a piece of clothing that was good compared to the Jurchens, a set of literati Confucian clothes, which showed that his real identity should be the military advisor of Wanyan Wugunai.
Cai Boyu knows that human power is very important, but on the contrary, the power of ordnance is more amazing, and the official said that the ordnance made by a powerful Gewu can maximize the power of people.
"Venerable Messenger, it is a great honor to finally see you!"
Wanyan Wugunai's attitude was very humble, respectfully on the ground with a precious knife, Cai Boyu knew that he was handing himself tableware, but how did he look like he was handing a knife.
"Where, I'm looking forward to meeting you! The trade between the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty is very important, and it cannot be denied that it is related to the Northern Expedition of my Great Song Dynasty, but you Jurchens have also benefited from it, and can even change the future of your Jurchens! ”
A gleam flashed in Wu Gunai's eyes, he knew that Cai Boyu had eaten the Jurchens thoroughly, and knew that the Jurchens needed trade to obtain what they could not produce.
Casually using a sharp knife to cut off a piece of tender meat from the roast sheep and put it in his mouth, Wu Gu Nai said with a smile while eating: "In the words of the envoy, this is a win-win strategy, my Jurchens need trade, and you Song people need to borrow the Tao, both sides are beneficial, why not?" ”
"There is only grain and porcelain, and the so-called trade is only these things, and there is nothing else."
Cai Boyu said with a smile, blocking the Jurchens' thoughts with one sentence, and Shui Mao's expression changed on the side: "Isn't iron not good?" My Jurchens are in urgent need of iron tools, and I am not afraid of the jokes of the messengers when I say it, and the kitchen knives used by my Jurchen people all need to be borrowed. ”
Cai Boyu waved his hand: "I've heard of this, but the imperial court has long stipulated that the iron tools of the Great Song Dynasty must not be transported to the field for sale!" ”
"Field?!"
Wanyan Wugunai and Shui Mao glanced at each other, and then asked, "You mean that the Great Song Dynasty is going to build a city in the territory of my Jurchens?!" ”
Cai Boyu smiled: "It's not a city building, it's just a port, if there is no port, where will my merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty unload?" With a port comes a small city, after all, the slender man, the laborer, and the craftsman all need a place to live......"
Cai Boyu paused for a moment and said: "I know what you mean, but the Jurchens can't use it, my Great Song Shangjia doesn't understand your rules, and secondly, it is inconvenient, and thirdly, the imperial court will not allow it." ”
Wu Gu Nai looked at Shui Mao and saw that he nodded slightly, and then he spoke: "Since your envoy said so, it means that it represents the Great Song Dynasty, and it is just a port. ”
Wu Gu Nai's cheerful promise made Cai Boyu feel unsteady, but he still smiled: "It's so good......"
He knows his bottom line, the Jurchens should know, and he also knows the bottom line of the Jurchens, food is very important to the Jurchens, and expensive porcelain and some useless gadgets have no effect on the Jurchens at all.
