In Datong Mansion, Yelu Chongyuan borrowed wine alone to kill his sorrows. As Yelu Hongji approached Tiancheng County, the situation became clearer and clearer, and more and more people betrayed themselves and took refuge in Yelu Hongji. If this continues, Datong Mansion will not be able to survive for long.

Xiao Ge came in, saluted like a courtesy, and said, "Your Majesty, Hongji's army is not far from Datong Mansion, and his subordinates are panicking. The day before yesterday, there was a Shunsheng county guard Yelu Huya who took refuge in Hongji, and the road from there to Yunzhou had been opened. The situation is like this, I don't know what Your Majesty's plan is? ”

Yelu Chongyuan said: "I can't attack Youzhou, I was beaten by my nephews, the situation has been corrupted, what other clever plan is there!" There is wine and drinking, there is meat to eat, and one day is a day, so why think so much! ”

Xiao Ge said: "Why is Your Majesty so negative, even if there are only a few states left in Xijing Dao, it is not exhaustive. ”

Yelu Chongyuan held the wine glass, squinted at Xiao Ge, and said, "At this time, what other tricks do you have?" Hongji's army has arrived at the gate of Datong Mansion, even if it is the life of the whole army, how long can it be guarded? ”

Xiao Ge said: "Your Majesty, if you are forced by Hong Ji, why don't you go to the south?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan was stunned for a while, and after a while, he said, "Do you want to go to the south to be a prisoner?" Even if it is going to fall, I will also bring down the flood. He is my son and nephew, and he will not lose the wealth of the rest of his life. ”

Xiao Ge shook his head: "Your Majesty, if this battle is only for a month or two, I think Hong Ji will not pursue it." But now that he has been fighting for more than four years, the whole country is involved, even if Hong Ji Kuanhong does not pursue a large number of them, how can the generals under him let go? At this point, Touhongji is a dead end. On the other hand, in the south, as long as His Majesty takes refuge and takes a few border states with him by the way, he will inevitably be treated as a guest. ”

Yelu Chongyuan sneered: "The Song people are not vegetarians, what do you want to do if you are a king!" ”

Xiao Ge said: "To be honest, the Song people treat the generals well. Recently, after the collapse of the party, Lang Zuo was escorted to Kaifeng Mansion, treated as a guest, and given the mansion by the king. Far away, there was Yeluyi who was captured in Tanglong Town first, and he has been at ease in Kaifeng Mansion all these years. If we take the land with us, we will surely become rich. ”

Yelu Chongyuan shook his head: "You just order your generals to hold the front line, and be careful that Hongji leads troops to attack." Some of these don't have to think less in the future! I am the Khitan Emperor, how can I go to the Southern Dynasty! No reason to be laughed at! ”

Seeing Yelu Chongyuan's resolute attitude, Xiao Ge said yes and never mentioned the matter again. Seeing that Yelu Chongyuan was drinking again, he wanted to discuss the front-line war, but he didn't bother to speak. Chongyuan is Hongji's own uncle, even if he fails to fight for the emperor, he may not be as good as him. But like Xiao Ge and others, it will not be so easy at that time. Years of wealth may be buried.

After leaving the official hall, Xiao Ge returned to his residence and sat in the living room thinking about his thoughts. Now it can be seen that Yelu Chongyuan will be defeated, just to see how long he can hold on. Although in the spring, Yelu Hongji's large army will also be rotated, and some of them will go back to spring plowing and grazing, and a new group of people will come, which is not something that Chongyuan can resist. You have to think of a way back, otherwise when Hong Ji enters Datong Mansion, he will have no way to live.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, he ordered someone to call him over.

Xiao Dui saluted and said, "I don't know what Daddy called Xiao'er?" Hearing that Hongji's soldiers and horses had arrived in Tiancheng County, the people in the city were panicked, and many people sold their wealth. I'm hesitating whether to buy it or sell it out. ”

Xiao Ge said: "At this time, what everyone wants is gold and silver, real estate, etc., which one is willing to want?" If I don't talk about that, I'm going to send you to do something, and I don't know if you can do it well. ”

Xiao Dui said: "I am an ignorant person, if it is a big thing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet Daddy's wishes." ”

Xiao Ge shook his head: "Forget it, you have been a lazy person since you were a child, and you can't do big things." It's just that this matter must be done by your loved ones to rest assured, and it still has to fall on you. A few days ago, the Song army broke the party item, and the army returned to Hequ Road. In my thoughts, Song Jun hurriedly returned to Hequ Road, only afraid that his mind was on Xijing Road. I write a letter here, you take it with you, and go to Shengzhou to see Han Xianggong, the envoy of the scriptures. When I got there, I didn't have to say much, just give him my letters. If he has a letter, bring it back. ”

Xiao Dui was a little scared when he heard this: "Daddy, Song is an enemy country, can it be safe to go at this time?" ”

Su Ge said: "What an enemy country! The Song and Khitan are brothers, and not long ago there were envoys to He Zhengdan. You pretend to be a businessman, don't be known by others, and go to Shengzhou to meet Han Xianggong along the mountain trade route. The trade route between Datong Mansion and Shengzhou has not ended, and there are always caravans in daily life, so I will find someone to help you cover up. Remember to be careful on the road and don't make any mistakes. ”

Xiao Dui said: "If Daddy is afraid that the child will not be able to do it, why not find someone else?" ”

Xiao Ge listened and scolded: "This is a matter related to the life of the family, how to rest assured of others!" I can't even do such a trivial thing, what use do I want your son! Remember, this matter is related to the glory and wealth of my family, you work hard, no accidents! ”

Xiao Dui saw that he couldn't put it off, so he had to agree aggrievedly. As a child of a rich family, Xiao Dui has always lived a stable life, even if he has an official on his body, he does not go out on errands. asked him to be the messenger of the letter, and he was really aggrieved in his heart.

arranged for his son, and the more Xiao Ge thought about it, the more he felt at ease. found a housekeeper again, asked him to pretend to be a businessman, and took Xiao Dui to Shengzhou to meet Han Qi. Han Qi had just destroyed the party, and he had an army of 200,000 under his command, and he was the real power figure of the Song army.

It's cold in the north, and even though it's the end of the first month, it's still freezing. A group of Khitan merchants walked on the mountain road and went to Shengzhou. Shengzhou was the place of foreign trade of the Song Dynasty in this area, and there was a railway to Kaifeng Province and the Western Regions, which has become a commercial center.

Li Ning rode on the horse, and saw Xiao Dui beside him clasping his hands together, his neck shrunk, and a leather hat completely covering his face, and his heart couldn't help sighing. This eldest son in the mansion grew up watching by himself, and he has been afraid of hardships since he was a child, and it is really uncomfortable to take this trip.

Li Ning is a Han who was taken captive to the Khitan when he was a child and was a slave of the Xiao family. Monk Xiao saw that he was smart and clever, so he asked him to accompany Xiao Ge to study, and when he grew up, he became the housekeeper of the Xiao family. Xiao Ge is a very good person, and he treats Li Ning like a brother, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary. Now that the war is unbearable, Xiao Ge thinks about his family and contacts Han Qi, and the most reassuring person is him.

The guide who led the team looked ahead and said, "After the intersection in front, it is the riverside county border of Song." Be careful, if you have prohibited goods on your body, dispose of them as soon as possible, and don't be caught by the Song people. Although the Song people allowed us to trade, they were extremely strict with the contraband. ”

Several businessmen said yes. One said: "Wine is also forbidden in the Song Kingdom, aren't we allowed to bring it?" ”

The crowd laughed aloud. In such a cold weather, which one can bring less wine?

The guide said: "Wine is naturally fine, and what you drink yourself is not a sale of goods." Selling wine from Datong Mansion will not result in death? But you must not be careless, there have been a lot more Song troops in the mountains recently, and the investigation is stricter than before. ”

This is the truth, in recent days, the scope of Song Jun's investigation has gone deep into the mountains. Far away from Shengzhou, the Song army appeared. Listening to the Fan Department in the mountains, the Song army asked all the people in the mountains to establish a edition.
