Kong Yuanda slowly sipped the tea, while the Chunyu family master opposite took a big gulp of wine, and the chessboard on the table was filled with smoke.
Chun Yu, the head of the family who always likes to play chess, finally lost the last pawn that could cross the river. He slapped the chessboard and said angrily: "After struggling all night last night, it still doesn't work. Come on, let's regroup and try again."
.”
Kong Yuanda held down Chunyu's master's hairy big hand and said, "Wait a minute, you lost chess in the past, and after losing, you just poured a bottle of wine into your mouth. Why are you so irritable today?"
The head of the Chunyu family was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Lao Kong, I might have to leave!"
"Let's go? Where are you going? Don't you want Nuo Da's family fortune here?"
Chunyu said a little discouraged: "It's impossible to leave without leaving. The Song army has already breached the Guanshan gate at Tongtou Pass. His Royal Highness Prince Ping's eight-door golden lock formation will not last long. Once Fengsheng Prefecture is breached, the next level will be
I am in Zhuolu County, and I don’t think anyone can survive the attack of Song Dynasty’s famous general Yun Zheng.”
Kong Yuanda was silent for a moment and then said: "Old Chunyu, I am from the Song Dynasty. I know Yun Zheng's abilities better than you do. His brilliance in the Song Kingdom even surpasses Di Qing. If His Highness Prince Ping cannot block him,
Outside of Tongtou Pass, I don’t think anyone can stop him in a place like Zhuolu County.”
Old Chunyu took a big sip of wine and said: "If the Song army is handsome like Di Qing, I can at most be an obedient citizen of the Song Dynasty. Even if I give up some of my family wealth, I can at least become a rich man. You and I can still drink and play chess."
Opportunity.
It's a pity that the murderous devil is here. As long as he enters the boundary of Yanzhou, he will be bound to the red land for thousands of miles. I am a big boss in Zhuolu County. I don't want to be like Guo Hengchuan and be made into a wax figure by him to display in my own martial arts performance.
In the hall."
Kong Yuanda shook his head and said: "Guo Hengchuan's wax figure is not placed in the martial arts hall of the Yun family, but in the Wucheng Hall of the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty. Six years ago, after I returned to the Song Dynasty and passed the Jinshi examination, I was taken by the teacher.
I personally went to Wucheng Hall to observe it."
"Is Lao Guo okay?"
Kong Yuanda smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't see any dust on his wax figure, nor did I see insects crawling on it. Those eunuchs took good care of the wax figure."
Chunyu closed his eyes in pain and said: "Back then, I and Guo Hengchuan were close friends. We came back from Mobei and made great achievements together. He chose an official position, and I chose rewards. Many years later, he became the guardian envoy, and I also became
A very wealthy man.
Six years ago, he was defeated at Yanmen Pass, his body and his clan were wiped out, and he himself was made into a wax figure by Yun Zheng. From that day on, I felt uneasy in my heart.
No one knows the horror of Guo Hengchuan better than me, but if such a person died in Yunzheng's hands, I knew that the Song State's desire for the Northern Expedition would not die, and sure enough, they came six years later."
Kong Yuanda listened to the sound of suona coming from the front yard and reminded Old Chunyu: "The people in front are all ready. Don't you plan to go over?"
Chunyu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't go. I'm already confused. I think that the only way to survive is to go to Zhongjing Road and then escape to Shangjing Road."
"Pang is hiding in Zhongjing Road. An old friend of Xijin Mansion told me that he is robbing people to serve as his death squads for the Western Expedition."
Chunyu said without changing his expression: "The Nanjing Road can't be saved. To the south, His Majesty is fighting fiercely with Di Qing. To the west, Yun Zheng is fighting against Ping Wang. To the north, there are still gangsters hiding there. To the east, there are bandits.
Today there is no land where people can live in peace."
Kong Yuanda thought for a while and said: "Why not withdraw from Nanjing Road with the Liao Emperor's army? I think this is the safest way out, at least whether it is Yunzheng, Di Qing, or Wu Zangpang, there is no one
People plan to kill the Liao Emperor."
Chunyu stared at Kong Yuanda for a long time and said, "Why don't you persuade me to surrender to Yun Zheng and use the land in Zhuolu County to save the lives of the whole family?"
Kong Yuanda lowered his head and drank tea: "I don't want you to still resent me when you die."
Chunyu laughed loudly and patted Kong Yuanda on the shoulder and said: "Ten years of friendship have not been in vain. With your words, my future will be clear, whether it is fleeing north with the Liao Emperor or going to Di Qing to surrender.
, even buying a boat and heading south to the Song Dynasty is a way out.
It’s ridiculous that those people still dream of helping the Song people capture Zhuolu County and Yanzhou, and then continue to enjoy the dream of glory and wealth.”
Kong Yuanda smiled bitterly and said, "How did you know that I was sent by the Song Dynasty?"
Chunyu smiled even more proudly, patted the table and said: "I knew the first day you met me, how could such a handsome and handsome person like you come to a remote place like Zhuolu County to teach and educate people.
After careful consideration, I found that the only reason that people like you can stay in Zhuolu County for ten years is because Zhuolu is a battleground for military strategists.
It's ridiculous, your Song Kingdom has already started its northern expedition ten years ago, but our Liao Kingdom didn't know about it until Di Qing crossed the border.
I think that if there is no big change this time, it is a certainty that the Song Kingdom will regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture."
Kong Yuanda said strangely: "You know that I am sent by the Song Dynasty, why do you still treat me so favorably?"
Chunyu smiled and said: "When I was young, my family was poor, and I often had to work in the fields with my father. My father has a skill. You can tell how much harvest there will be in autumn just by looking at the growth of vegetation. To me, you
It's my piece of grass. By observing your reaction, I will know how to stay or stay.
Now it seems that my father’s ability has allowed his descendants to escape disaster again.”
Kong Yuanda laughed and said: "I just discovered now that wisdom and knowledge are two different things. They are completely unrelated.
When I talked with Yun Zheng before, he said, "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing." If I don't want to deceive you, Kong Yuanda has been taught."
Chunyu said with a smile: "Yun Zheng, the murderous king, killed people in Jiaozhi, Qingtang, and Dali. Every time he killed, blood flowed and millions of corpses were buried. How could he not kill people now in Nanjing Road? He is used to it.
A person who has a hammer will forget the role of needle and thread. Whenever he sees something he doesn't like or accept, he will use a few hammers until the uneven place is smoothed."
"Do you think this way of solving the problem is reasonable?" Faced with this illiterate and wise guy, Kong Yuanda asked his doubts.
Chunyu sneered and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. Daliao did this in the East China Sea, and it was the same when facing the barbarians on Shangjing Road. Yun Zheng is more like my Daliao general than the Song Dynasty general.
You are considered an outlier among you Song people, but you still look like a standard Song Dynasty person. You have all the virtues of a gentleman mentioned in the book...
By the way, how about giving you this house? You can build a huge academy here in the future. If I fall down one day, I will come to you to find a job as a concierge. What do you think?"
Kong Yuanda stood up and looked around at this majestic residence and said with a smile: "Okay, I really want to build a Zhuolu Academy here.
In order to repay your generosity, I can send your whole family to the Song Dynasty through the Kong family and help you settle down in the country. Anyway, you just want to be a rich man. Being in the Song Dynasty is far more comfortable than being in Zhuolu County.
Too much."
Chunyu lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, opened his hands and said: "These hands are stained with the blood of Song people. Although I went to the Song Dynasty, I felt safe, but I felt ashamed. If a man makes a mistake, he will make a mistake, but he will not regret it."
necessary.
When I, Chun Yuzhong, chose to be loyal to the Liao Emperor, I might as well go all the way to the end. Now that I am old and can no longer help him fight the enemy, following him to the end is also a good choice.
Okay, the chess game is over, the conversation is over, what we have to do now is to go to the front yard and have a good drink. Just treat it as you practicing for me, and treat it as me celebrating for you. In this world,
Being able to get what everyone needs is also a great blessing.”
After saying that, Chunyu Zhong dragged Kong Yuanda to the front yard to drink while laughing...
In the evening, Kong Yuanda was carried back to the wooden building by two boys in purple clothes, shouting "Drink to win!"
Li Chang, who has slightly better eyesight, looked at Kong Yuanda in pain and was puzzled! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
