Huahua has a younger brother in her family. The younger brother is only twelve years old. His father died in the war long ago. Her mother couldn't bear it and ran away a few years ago. Huahua has never heard from her, but Huahua doesn't blame her mother because she knows that her mother has already died.
Tried my best.
It is becoming more and more chaotic now. The Mongols attack every year. There are frequent big battles and small battles, with countless casualties. Every Xixia people lives in fear.
When Huahua heard that the government was selecting people to take refuge in the Song Dynasty, she went crazy and took her younger brother to sign up.
However, there were too many people who signed up, and Yu Jie’s principle was to try to have one person per family, so only one of the Huahua siblings could go.
Huahua was chosen because she could weave, spin, and farm and raise silkworms, but her brother couldn't go because he had no special skills.
"Sister, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
The younger brother kept crying, Huahua hugged him and comforted the younger brother not to cry.
"Brother, don't cry. My sister will let you go to Song Dynasty. My sister will let you live. Brother, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."
In the evening, Huahua found a scribe who was in charge of statistics and kept knelt down and kowtowed to him, hoping that the scribe would let her sister and brother go to the Song Dynasty together.
The scribe shook his head and said: "How can I make the decision in this matter? If you talk about it, even I and the whole family won't be able to go. You can go back."
Huahua was helpless, and finally cried: "Then you let my brother go, I won't go, please, I'll switch with my brother, I won't go."
The clerk still shook his head and said: "Girl, you go back. If you don't go, someone else will go. Your brother is thin and will most likely die on the road. Why waste this place."
Huahua cried until her eyes were filled with tears. She crawled to the scribe step by step, hugged the scribe's waist, and cried: "Help me, help me, I only have this one younger brother. My father is dead.
My mother is gone, and he cannot die again."
Huahua kept crying, and while crying, she began to untie her clothes...
After half a month of preparations, 100,000 people and 10,000 soldiers, the team was finally ready. The day before the trip, Tahaihab took his daughter to find Yu Jie.
Tahaiha preached: "Ambassador, I will leave tomorrow. I have nothing to ask for, but my daughter has not yet grown up, so I am really worried about it. Today, I entrusted my daughter to the ambassador, and the ambassador stayed by his side to serve tea and water.
It doesn't matter whether you work as a cow or a horse, it all depends on the ambassador's arrangement."
Yu Jie was surprised and said: "General, won't you go with me? An army of ten thousand needs someone to lead it."
Tahaihab shook his head, with tears in his eyes, and said: "My Tahai family has been blessed by the country for generations. Now that the country is in crisis, how can we abandon the king and turn our backs on the country? I have decided to share honor and disgrace with your majesty, and to live and die with Daxia, okay?
Let the Mongolians know that I, too, have a man in Daxia!"
Yu Jie was greatly shocked. He did not expect that Tahai Gampo, who was greedy for money, was also extremely loyal and loyal. He also saw that his daughter had good looks and well-spoken words. She seemed to be a well-educated person at first glance.
Yu Jie was impressed by his loyalty and to reassure him, he said: "The general is very righteous and I admire him very much. I am willing to marry the general's daughter. I wonder what the general wants?"
"Does the ambassador mean what he said?"
"What a trivial matter a marriage is?"
Tahaihab was pleasantly surprised and immediately knelt down to thank him and burst into tears.
Yu Jie quickly helped him up and comforted him, and finally let the father and daughter leave.
One night passed, and after dawn, Li Dewang, Tahai Habu, Li Zhonge and others saw Yu Jie off.
Li Dewang held back the tears in his eyes and said goodbye to the clan members one by one. Finally, he said to Yu Jie: "Ambassador, everything is done. If they arrive at the Song Dynasty smoothly, Ambassador you will be my biggest benefactor in Daxia. I will never have a chance to thank you in the future.
Now please allow me to pay homage to you, Ambassador."
Li Dewang actually wanted to kneel down and thank Yu Jie. Yu Jie quickly supported him and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. My Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. I will treat them well. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, now I am only
I hope they live a good life in our country, Song Dynasty."
Li Dewang naturally understood Yu Jie's words. Li Dewang nodded, then turned to the hundred thousand soldiers and civilians and said: "Listen, this time the Song Dynasty will take you in regardless of past grudges. When you arrive in the Song Dynasty, you must obey the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it was their duty to live their lives. If anyone repays kindness with enmity and causes trouble in the Song Dynasty, everyone can punish him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians responded to Li Dewang with tears in their eyes. Finally, they reluctantly said goodbye to their relatives and left. Their families called from behind. At this moment, Xixia was filled with tears.
"Brother, when you arrive in Song Dynasty, you must live well."
"Sister, sister,"
Huahua separated from her younger brother, and both of them burst into tears and cried non-stop. This moment of separation destined them to never see each other again.
After the Song Dynasty crossed south, Xixia and the Song Dynasty no longer bordered each other. They were separated by the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin was also attacked by the Mongols and suffered frequent wars. Nowhere was a pure land.
On the contrary, in the Song Dynasty at this time, with the Kingdom of Jin blocking the way, the country was extremely peaceful;
Along the way, wars were raging everywhere. Seeing this situation, Yu Jie was filled with emotions. At the same time, a sense of urgency also urged him to move on, because he knew that there was not much time left for the Song Dynasty.
During the break, the team rested. A worried general walked up to Yu Jie and said: "Ambassador, we will soon enter the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin is ferocious and is fighting with the Mongols. Our team is so large, I'm afraid
It won’t be peaceful then.”
This general is called Tahai Hazhen, and he is the biological brother of Tahai Habu. He is the commander-in-chief of the 10,000-strong army. Now that we have calculated, he and Yu Jie are also one family.
Yu Jie remained calm and said: "General, don't worry. Our Song Dynasty has garrisoned troops in the Kingdom of Jin. I have ordered people to contact and request to send troops to respond. At this time, our Song Dynasty is in peace talks with the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin can easily
Don’t dare to fight with us.”
Zhao Yun was very concerned about Yu Jie's actions, so the envoys assigned to him were always delivering news. Naturally, Yu Jie knew about such a major event as sending troops to the Jin Kingdom.
Tahaiha was overjoyed when he heard this. If there was a large army of the Song Dynasty to help him, everything would be fine.
My heart finally let go, and then Tahaiha really invited Yu Jie to have a meal in the tent.
Yu Jie arrived at the temporary tent. Inside, Tahaihab's mother, wives, three sons, two daughters, and Tahaihazhen's family, a total of thirty or forty people, sat in the tent.
After the dishes were full, Yu Jie greeted them one by one and began to eat.
Tahai Habu's youngest daughter, Tahai Suzhen, Yu Jie's unmarried wife, tenderly brought Yu Jie bowls and chopsticks, and carefully poured Yu Jie wine.
