1088 sincerity is different
Borshu and Mu Huali went to Jinan to see Ye Qing, which can be said to be not small in scale and full of sincerity, along the way from the north to the south, there will be armies from all walks of life in the north keeping an eye on their every move.
With 3,000 horses and 5,000 cattle and sheep, plus nearly 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, the Mongols went to Jinan this time, which can be said to have invested enough money, so they naturally hoped to coerce and lure Ye Qing and be able to cut gold with them.
Even if there was no way to form an alliance against the Jin, the Mongols did not want to see the Jin and the Song completely join forces against them.
Therefore, 3,000 excellent war horses plus 5,000 cattle and sheep, for Temujin, this is already the greatest sincerity he gave to Ye Qing.
When Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji heard the news, he had already gone ashore from the ferry and really entered the northern territory of the Song people.
And the Song people, who were originally obedient to their golden words, have once again become a powerful existence that cannot be ignored in just over ten years, just like the Tatars, like mushrooms after a rain, suddenly appeared.
After all, the original attention of the Jin people has always been on Liao and Xia, but now, with the strong rise of the Song Dynasty and the establishment of the Mongols, the Liao and Xia countries have collapsed one after another, leaving only their Dajin is now sandwiched between Song and Mongolia, and the pressure they are under makes them feel a little breathless.
Worry climbed up to Wanyan Yongji's brow, the purpose of the Mongols coming to Jinan is naturally self-evident, and the purpose of his coming to Jinan, presumably the Mongols are also very clear.
It's just that...... Wanyan Yongji's heart is still a little worried, how much eyeliner has Ye Qing planted in Dajin? Is there Ye Qing's eyeliner above the court? Whether he ...... or not.
Wanyan Yongji sighed again, and began to take his envoy group of nearly 1,000 people, as well as some calligraphy, paintings, texts and other things that seemed useless to them when they plundered the Kaifeng Palace of the Song Dynasty, and walked towards the city gate of Jinan Mansion.
The 3,000 war horses, 5,000 cattle and sheep of Borshu and Mu Huali were obviously not able to enter Jinan City, and the 8,000 livestock, which were as powerful as thousands of troops and horses, were stopped by Zhong Silkworm on the pipeline ten miles away from Jinan City.
Looking at the cattle, sheep and horses spread all over the land, Zhong Silkworm felt at a loss for a while, if so many cattle, sheep and horses entered Jinan City, not to mention whether it would cause a commotion among the people in the city, I am afraid ...... These 8,000 livestock walked from the south city to the north city, and the feces left along the way were enough to make the people of Jinan City stunned, right?
Thinking about the huge and chaotic scene after these eight thousand cattle, sheep and horses entered the city, and then thinking about the mess that might appear on the streets of Jinan City after these cattle, sheep and horses, Zhong Silkworm shook his head more and more firmly at Mu Huali and Borshu.
"The two generals and their subordinates can naturally enter the city, but ......." Zhong Silkworm pointed to the cattle, sheep and horses all over the ground, and the unique smell of the animal asked, his eyes were already hot, and tears were about to flow out, and he opened his mouth with difficulty and continued: "I really can't let the two generals bring these animals in. ”
"Zhong Silkworm, are you embarrassing the two of us?" Mu Huali's expression was displeased, they drove these cattle, sheep and horses all the way over, but they didn't dare to be careless, they were afraid that some of the eight thousand livestock would die on the road, so they couldn't make up the auspicious numbers that the Song people liked.
Therefore, this road is even more important than the rest of them, and when they are stationed in the camp, they will even surround 8,000 cattle, horses and sheep with their 2,000 people, just for fear that there will be something wrong along the way.
In their minds, when Ye Qing learned of this news, he would inevitably be moved by the sincerity of their Mongols, and he would inevitably let them bring these cattle, sheep and horses into the city with great fanfare, and then let the people in the city see that their Mongols were generous
and their friendliness to Ye Qing, which also made their alliance more certain.
So when Zhong Silkworm shook his head and refused to allow these cows, sheep and horses to enter the city, Mu Huali's face instantly became gloomy, what do these represent on the grassland, no need for him to say Zhong Silkworm understands very well, so he has to wonder if Zhong Silkworm does not let these cattle, sheep and horses enter the city, is it because they have bad intentions?
"Don't you know their value?" Borshu also had a gloomy face, and asked Zhong Silkworm dissatisfied.
Zhong Silkworm shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the group behind the Mongols that had begun to slowly spread on the official road, and even some of the sheep had begun to gnaw the seedlings of heaven and earth, and some of the people who felt sorry for the owner of this heaven and earth sighed and said: "Of course I know what this means, but ...... There is no place for them in the city of Jinan, and ...... The two generals should also know very well that the city in my Central Plains is not the same as the city of Xia and even the people of Jin, although there will be cattle and sheep entering, but ...... If I enter so much, I am even more afraid that the entire Jinan City will become ....... ”
"Is this also what you Lord Ye mean?" The displeasure on Mu Huali's face was even more obvious, because he had already seen that the Song army behind Zhong Silkworm had already jumped off the horse at this time and ran to the field to drive those cattle and sheep.
Zhong Silkworm nodded helplessly, and said: "Yes, this is Lord Ye's order, the two generals and their subordinates can enter Jinan City, but these cattle, sheep and horses, although we also know their preciousness, are ......." ”
At the end, he shrugged his shoulders with his hands outstretched, making a look of helplessness.
And just as the three of them were talking, the fields on both sides of the official road were about to be chaotic, as the Song army went down to stop the cattle and sheep from harming the crops in the fields, some frightened cattle and sheep immediately began to scatter and gallop, and in an instant the entire field was full of smoke and dust, and the sound of cows and sheep bleating and neighing began to mix, a very lively scene.
Borshu and Mu Huali obviously prefer to see such a scene, with herds of cattle, sheep and horses galloping between heaven and earth, at least indicating that these are sturdy cattle, sheep and horses, not used to fool their Song people.
And Zhong Silkworm's expression at the moment was a painful look, as if the sky had fallen, looking at the crops that had just been planted in spring all over the ground, they were wasted like this, and it felt like the sheep's hooves, horses' hooves, and cow's hooves were not trampling on the crops, but one foot was trampled on his heart.
"These are all crops, and the autumn harvest ......." Zhong Silkworm wailed in pain.
Borshu looked at Zhong Silkworm's painful appearance, and he was even more angry, in his opinion, no matter how important those crops were, could they still be more important than the scattered herds of cattle, horses and sheep in front of him?
"On the grassland, cattle and sheep are the lives of our people, and they are more expensive than your crops. Isn't it clear to General Chung? Borshu said angrily.
"These are two different things! We don't live on the grasslands, our people live on this food! Zhong Silkworm also fought back a little depressedly: "I tell you two to immediately let your subordinates drive these cattle, sheep and horses together, and at the foot of the mountain in front, a pasture ...... has been prepared for them." ”
"I have to bring these in and let Lord Ye see them with his own eyes." Mu Huali said firmly, uncompromisingly.
"It's impossible, don't even think about it." Zhong Silkworm also firmly refused.
The three of them were already very familiar with each other when they were attacking the Khorezm people, so when they talked at this time, they naturally didn't need to be polite.
In the eyes of the Mongols, it is obvious that cattle, sheep and horses are a hundred times more important than the crops in the eyes of the Song people, and in the eyes of the Song people, cattle, sheep and horses are not crops after all, and can be used as the staple food of three meals a day like the Mongols.
The three of them were at a stalemate, and in Jinan City, Wanyan Yongji had been invited into the government office by Ye Qing, who was smiling.
Since crossing the Yellow River, Wanyan Yongji has traveled all the way, and he has to be convinced that the Song people's transformation of Jinan City has made him look at the entire Jinan City
When contouring, it's hard to recreate the feeling of returning to your hometown.
After entering Jinan City, the spacious and clean streets, neat and orderly carriages, horses and pedestrians, and rows of shops were completely different from the Jinan City he was familiar with.
Whether it is pedestrians or carriages and horses, or shops, there is no trace of the Jin people under the rule of the Jin people, although there is no impression of Lin'an, with a strong Song court style, but between the rough and heroic, it can still make Wanyan Yongji clearly feel that Jinan City at this time has nothing to do with the Jin country, and even the invisible connection between it and the Song Dynasty has become more and more blurred, completely like a new country.
"King Wei Shao came this time, it seems that he can only live in a post house, the old mansion of the year, after being renovated by Lord Xin last year, has now become Ye's residence. Therefore, I also hope that King Wei Shao will not be taken to heart because of this matter. Ye Qing's words seemed to be quite apologetic, but in fact, in the ears of Wanyan Yongji, they were so reasonable.
"If I knew this, I should have helped Lord Ye to renovate it in the first place, so I didn't have to bother Lord Xin to send someone to repair it again." Wanyan Yongji's face stiffened slightly, but he had already dealt with Ye Qing many times, and this little dismount was nothing to him.
The three of them sat down to greet each other for a while, and Mo Xiaobao hurriedly ran in, and after seeing Yan Yongji, the corners of his mouth instantly hooked up with a sneer, and then handed a letter to Ye Qing, and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Yidu Mansion." ”
"Oh? What can Yidu do? Ye Qing opened the letter, but on the other hand, he forgot to glance at King Wei Shao next to him meaningfully.
At this moment, Wanyan Yongji does not seem to have anything on the surface, but in his heart he is already overturning the river and the sea and worrying at the moment.
He had already vaguely guessed what was going on, but he tried his best to deny it in his heart, it couldn't be such a coincidence, right? Or is it...... Did Ye Qing deliberately do it in front of him?
"Yan Ning? Yidu people, who were originally the deputy pacification envoy of Jin Guoyi Prefecture, are now Yidu pacification envoys? Is it him who appeases Yidu? Ye Qing frowned slightly, looked at Xin Qiji and asked.
At this time, Wanyan Yongji's originally normal face instantly turned pale, and the whole person became a little nervous.
"It's ......." Xin Qiji paused slightly, then looked at King Wei Shao, who looked uneasy, and said with a smile: "Although Yidu set up a mansion because of the garrison of the Andong Protectorate, in a hurry, there has not been a pacification envoy for the time being. ”
"Does King Wei Shao know Yan Ning's person?" Ye Qing asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then before Yan Yongji finished speaking, Ye Qing often sighed and said: "King Wei Shao, Ye Mou really wants to ally with your country, and Ye Mou really believes that this is the sincerity of your alliance. Because your country sent the head of Zamuhe, and today King Wei Shao actually came to Jinan with the Mongolian envoys, in order to show Ye's sincerity to King Wei Shao and the alliance with your country, Ye sent his men to stop the Mongols in a place ten miles outside Jinan, and did not intend to give them a chance to persuade Ye Qing to join them in alliance to fight against Jin before your country. But now ....... ”
"Lord Ye, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here, right? My Dajin Kingdom Holy Master will not do this kind of plan to cultivate the plank road openly and secretly Chen Cang in front of Lord Ye, this must be a misunderstanding, in my opinion, this must be ....... Wanyan Yongji thought quickly about the rhetoric in his mind, and finally said hurriedly: "This must be the self-appointed person Yan Ning, in order to separate the alliance between us. ”
At this time, Wanyan Yongji's head was already densely covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look at Ye Qing's smiling expression, and continued to explain uneasily: "Lord Ye, this matter must have nothing to do with my Dajin, this must be this Yan Ning's ......." ”
"Does King Wei Shao know this person?" Ye Qing asked lightly.
