[These days, I'm making trouble again, and I'm taking turns with my wife to go to the grave, so adjust it, and I'll watch it tomorrow. 】

Originally, Sun Shaozong was still thinking about waiting for the two sides to negotiate, and in the face of the difficulties of the monarchs and ministers of the Later Jin Kingdom, he would show his muscles again.

Who would have thought that for a few days, that Wupu Duanheng only summoned Xu Furen alone, and refused to let him accompany him into the palace, so that all the previous ideas were completely useless.

Fortunately, around the New Year's Festival, Sun Shaozong had already established a great prestige in Jianzhou City, and with Xu Furen's old scheming, he was enough to play with his heart.

Of course, when Xu Furen returned to the post house every day, he inevitably had to repeat the negotiation process between the two sides to Sun Shaozong briefly.

At present, it seems that the sincerity of the peace talks between the two sides is still there, at least for the time being, and there is a major premise for the strike of troops and peace talks, and a consensus was reached on the first day.

However, on some additional conditions, the two sides have remained deadlocked.

For example, the Great Zhou hoped that the two sides would exchange prisoners of war and release the detained people.

However, most of the Jurchens captured by the Great Zhou have already been sentenced, and this so-called exchange is just a nice thing to say, in fact, it is to let Houjin unilaterally release all Han slaves.

This was naturally unacceptable to the Jurchens.

For example, Houjin hopes to establish several places near Xingcheng to interact with each other.

The mutual market was nothing, but in addition to asking the Great Zhou not to restrict the import of ironware, the Jurchens also asked the Great Zhou officials to come forward and purchase some special products from Liaodong at a premium, so as to ensure that the two sides could reach a trade balance.

That's just too much.

Although it is a delaying tactic, in the face of a small country that has not even admitted to making such a degree of concessions, how can the people of the Zhou State, who have always openly flaunted the emperor's Hanism, accept it?

In addition, there are such things as the demarcation of the boundaries between the two sides, the official names of each other, the number of exchanges and gifts, the relationship between Houjin and Washou, and so on......

In short, under the same general policy, there are not a few points of disagreement between the two sides.

On the side of Zhou Guo, the left and right wanted to delay time, and after surviving the war in the south, they would free up their strength to attack Houjin again.

Later, because of the heavy snowfall, Kim was unable to carry out large-scale military operations until the end of March.

So I wasn't in a hurry at the two times, grinding back and forth like a little bit of see-sawing, and after a few days, I didn't see any progress.

It is estimated that a general context can be negotiated in the first month, which is quite good.

Sun Shaozong doesn't care, he is a dynamic and quiet character, except for some unaccustomed food, he is idle in the post house every day, and he has the right to raise fat in the winter.

But the accompanying guards are quite restless.

A while ago, there were always unsightly Jurchens who came to the door to make trouble, and every once in a while there was a lively look, but I didn't think it was any better.

Since the fifth day of the first lunar month, everything has become calm, and even many Jurchens would rather take a long detour than pass through the gate of the post house.

When I was idle, I felt uncomfortable.

A few days ago, Naharlu's wife had a high-pitched voice, and the people who first scolded in front of the door were sulky, and then the people who shouted inside the door were full of evil fire.

has been a single person for more than a month, as soon as this anger comes up, where can I still hold it?

So in the past few days, he first came forward with Tuo Fengxin, wanting to ask for leave to go out for a 'hangout', but after being suppressed by Sun Shaozong, he tried to instigate him to get a few women to come in and serve.

said that he was helping with laundry and cooking, but Sun Shaozong casually tried it, and the requirements of 'good adjustment' and 'chest and hips' filled his ears.

To put it bluntly, it's not just the lower body.

It stands to reason that this is a place of suspicion, and it is better to have more than one thing, and Sun Shaozong should refuse.

But Sun Shaozong is not that unreasonable, and besides, he himself has not been able to lead by example, so it is even more difficult to refuse sternly.

Therefore, after careful consideration on this day, I pondered to discuss with Xu Furen to see if I could ask the Jurchens for a few Korean women to come back, and the reason why I designated the Koreans was naturally because I did not want to humiliate the Han women who were plundered.

…………

It was evening.

Calculating the time, Xu Furen should also come back from the inner city, so Sun Shaozong ordered someone to set the meal on the kang table in the backyard, and scalded a pot of aged wine, just waiting to chat with him about wine.

Naturally, it is impossible to bring a cook with you, so the daily meals are really lackluster, and there is only one advantage of being full.

But the wine is really good, the forty-year-old cellar carving, originally a certain Jurchen nobleman's trophy, but in the bitter cold place outside the Guan, everyone is proud of drinking spirits, and these jars of aging are unexpectedly unpopular.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Ah Lin Qi Tu came to the door to say goodbye, because he knew that Sun Shaozong was good at this, so he specially asked for a gift.

The hand stove was turned on the lid and temporarily used as a vessel for warming wine, and after a short time, the rich and mellow aroma of wine spread in the room.

At this time, as soon as the curtain was lifted, Xu Furen, who had a wide robe and big sleeves, came in from the outside, his nose twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but smile and groaned: "Drinking wine and being forgiving to the gentleman, human feelings are overturned like waves; Prime Minister Bai knows how to press the sword, and Zhu Men Xianda laughs and plays the crown; The grass is all wet by drizzle, and the flowers and branches are about to move in the spring breeze; Why do you ask about the clouds in the world, it is better to lie down and eat. ”

As he spoke, he took off his boots and sat cross-legged opposite Sun Shaozong.

Along the way, the two of them had already become acquainted, so Sun Shaozong was not polite, only lifted the wine jug with one hand and poured a full glass for it.

At the same time, he smiled and said: "Listening to what Xu Lao means, I'm afraid that I have wasted another day?" ”

"It's a waste, but it's not for nothing."

Although there has been no progress in the negotiations in the past few days, Xu Furen's spirit is much stronger than on the road.

I saw that he first raised his glass to the bottom of the old man's chatting and youthful madness, and then he straightened up again, leaned forward slightly, and said in a suppressed voice: "There is no doubt that it is the White Lotus Sect." ”

This sentence was clueless, but Sun Shaozong immediately understood it, hurriedly put the wine jug back on the hand stove, straightened his waist, and put on a posture of listening to his ears.

But it turned out that after arriving at the post house, Sun Shaozong vaguely noticed that in addition to the Jurchen spies, there seemed to be some unidentified people around, spying on the mission's every move.

The Mongols were outside the city gate that day, and more than half of them were made by Sun Shaozong, and even if the rest secretly returned to the city, most of them did not dare to appear near the left side of the Great Zhou Mission, and even if they were really bold enough to find them, they would be recognized by Sun Shaozong.

Therefore, the two secretly discussed, and deduced that most of the other forces in this city existed, and most of them were still hostile forces of the Great Zhou.

Although the Great Zhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides, if you really want to count them, there are only a few forces.

After the removal of Mongolia, the White Lotus Sect, which is also in the north, has naturally become the focus of suspicion.

So in the past few days, Xu Furen has been negotiating with the Jurchens while searching for news in a roundabout way, but he has been startled, and there has been no progress for a few days.

But now, he's finally managed to figure out some details.

I heard Xu Furen brush his beard and say: "Today, when I talked about the border army with the Tartars, when the old man mentioned the Shaanxi and Gansu areas, he deliberately sold a flaw, but he was casually broken by Wu Qizhi, obviously he knew a lot about the deployment of the border army in Shaanxi and Gansu. ”

"But the current scope of Jurchen activities is far from touching the Mongols in Shaanxi and Gansu, and even the Mongols in the Wazi region are now harassing in Shanxi and Hebei, so that they can be horns with the Jurchens."

"The one who cares so much about the Shaanxi-Gansu border army and can clearly grasp its movements is probably the White Lotus Sect!"

Xu Furen's speculation may not be ten percent sure, but six or seven percent are still there.

In his mind, Su Xingfang's voice and smile involuntarily flashed, and Sun Shaozong said in a deep voice: "If it is really the people of the White Lotus Sect, when the Mongols rushed outside the city gate, most of them were inseparable from them, these White Lotus rebels, what they are best at is fanning the flames and borrowing strength. ”

Xu Furen nodded: "Compared with the Mongols, they are the most reluctant to withdraw troops from Liaodong, and they will try their best to stop it, which is also ......."

Speaking of halfway, Xu Furen's eyes suddenly froze, and Sun Shaozong, who was on the other side, also looked solemn, and then the two blurted out in unison: "Could it be that the White Lotus Sect is going to cause trouble [again] in the near future?!" ”

This time, the imperial court decided to send Xu Furen as an envoy to Houjin, which was initially known only to a few important ministers of the court, and it only took two or three days from the formal order to the departure of the mission.

To say that for such a short period of time, even if the White Lotus Sect, which was far away in Shaanxi and Gansu, could react and want to send someone to Jianzhou City to make waves first, it would be absolutely impossible.

In other words, the White Lotus Sect came to Liaodong with other purposes without knowing about it.

And the one who can make the White Lotus Sect brave the wind and snow to come to contact Houjin is afraid that the only thing is to 'rebel'!

After thinking of this, Xu Furen and Sun Shaozong immediately formulated countermeasures.

First of all, it is natural to send people back to the customs to inform the imperial court, so as to prevent trouble.

Secondly, it is best to try to find out the White Lotus rebels in the city and force the information of the Shaanxi and Gansu Commanders.

This time is different from going to the capital to find the Holy Maiden, in order to be able to form an alliance with the Jurchens, the people sent by the White Lotus Sect to be in charge of negotiations must come up with some weighty 'bargaining chips'.

If you can pry open the other party's mouth, you will definitely be able to deal a huge blow to the White Lotus Sect.

In addition, the post house must be doubled to guard against death.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future, since the White Lotus Sect was wounded and split, its power has long been much worse than before, but the pervasive infiltration method is the most headache for the imperial court.

If the post house is also infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect, then the fun will be great.

It's just that in this way, the matter of introducing Korean women will naturally end without a problem.

Sun Shaozong came out of Xu Furen's house, thinking about how to appease those restless officers and soldiers, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He looked up a few times, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

So he went back to his room in a restless mood, and when he just pushed open the door, one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his head:

Where did Feng Xin go?

Isn't that kid waiting for his reply?

According to his anxious temperament, he should have been intercepted by him long ago for his leisurely wandering.
