Chapter 1685 Cai Bochai and Bi Shijie
Three days left, New Year's Eve, and what Zhao Zhen couldn't let go of the most is Xiao Tali and Xiao Ren and his son. Is this new year difficult for them?
Seeing the Chinese New Year and the capital fell, the north side might be that Xiao Ren felt novel, but Xiao Tali, a woman who has been in the throne for a long time, should feel bitter in her heart?
Every New Year, people are always sentimental. Zhao Zhen believes that since Yelu Zongzhen died in Yanyun in battle, Xiao Tali has basically had a better New Year. Every festival is full of missed relatives!
At this time, a person who was far away gave him a warmth and concern, which should be great warmth and comfort to Xiao Tali, the person who was struggling to guard the boudoir.
There must be threats and forceful conquests, and of course gentle offensives are indispensable. Although all this seems to be caused by oneself, Zhao Zhen believes that Xiao Tali must also know that the Northern Expedition of the Khitan in the Song Dynasty was the general trend.
This time, Cai Bo brought a lot of things. It took him three years to load the carriage. The food in it occupied a whole carriage, and the rest were clothes and jewelry.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Since the Chinese New Year is coming, no matter where the children are or what the state of the two countries are, Zhao Zhen plans to give the children a big red envelope. After all, it is really unreasonable to have lost so much fatherly love over the years.
After receiving the order, Cai Bo naturally would not slacken. He loaded all the things into the car and asked the soldiers to fix the things. Some things made too much progress. Three days was enough for them to head north to the ancient city of Jumu.
The envoy's banners and scepters were raised high, and with these two things, the Khitans would not have any obstruction. After all, fighting between great powers is the same thing, and the two countries have never interrupted the envoy's exchanges.
The modified carriage headed northward. Cai Bo sat in the carriage and curled his lips helplessly. This also means that he was going to celebrate the New Year in Khitan. It would be fine if he couldn't go home during the New Year Festival, but he had to give gifts to the emperor to his "lover".
…………………I feel a little sour no matter how I think about it.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
It was quite smooth to head north. It took only two and a half days to arrive outside the ancient city of Jumu. On the way, I told Yang Huaiyu of the Shisan and Beiwei Army that they had withdrawn their troops and rest in Shangjing. After the spring begins, they will attack Jumu City with artillery.
The Beiwei Army is composed of cavalry and the season is very fast. Now the Chinese New Year is coming, and the marching is very fast. Cai Bo looked at the excited appearance of Shi San and Yang Huaiyu and was furious.
It's really outrageous. Both of them can go back to the capital for the New Year, but they will be fine. They will go north to the bitter and cold land. If the Khitan female emperor is in a bad mood, they may even make things difficult for him.
When the convoy arrived at Jumu City, the Khitan soldiers Bai surrounded him. When they saw Cai Bo and the Song Dynasty's flags, they wanted to eat Cai Bo.
However, Cai Bo knew that he could never lose in his momentum, and the more he was so, the more he was looked down upon.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Oh! Isn't this the God of Wealth in the Song Dynasty? Why did you come to my Khitan city? Do you want to trade or serve as an envoy!"
Uncle Cai didn't care and looked at the visitor and smiled: "I heard that the Xiao family was in trouble, so I came to send something to express my comfort, right?"
"you!"
Xiao Jie was furious. Many people in the Xiao family were killed and injured this time, and they all died at the hands of the emperor. Although he knew why, he said it through Cai Bo's mouth, which was humiliation!
Seeing Xiao Jie clenching his fists, "What, this time I came here as the honor of an envoy, don't be presumptuous. Your disrespect to me is disrespect to me and the emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
"General Xiao, don't be angry. The enemy's deception is to provoke him!"
Xiao Jie's anger was immediately eliminated, and Cai Bo was slightly surprised. He looked at the person who came and said, "Mr. Bi?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"What gentleman, Mr. Bi is now my Great Khitan's husband!"
This is reasonable and beyond Cai Bo's expectations. There are indeed not many civil officials who can serve as ministers in the Khitan court, but it is not Bi Shijie's turn. His talents are outstanding, but his qualifications are still small.
But after a moment of thinking about it, Cai Bo understood that this was the extraordinary time of the Khitan, and Xiao Tali was a king with a courage that was not inferior to his men. It was reasonable to surrender talents without any restrictions at this time.
He glanced at the arrogant Xiao Jie next to him, and Uncle Cai folded his hands together, saluting Bi Shijie respectfully and said, "Uncle Cai greets Mr. Bi!"
Bi Shijie returned with a gentle and elegant gift: "Your Madam Cai is polite, I'm tired of boats and cars, please go to the city to rest!"
After Bi Shijie said that, he waved his sleeves, and the dark cannons stretched out on the city wall were folded in an instant, neatly and uniformly, with amazing momentum.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Even if Cai Bo knew that these cannons were far inferior to the Song Dynasty, he had a sudden blow in his heart. The deterrence of this thing was really amazing. If a person was pointed at by a black gun, he would be afraid even if the gun was on his head.
Xiao Jie felt a little uncomfortable. Cai Bo was respectful when facing Bi Shijie, but his attitude towards him was much more arrogant. He obviously looked down on him and only respected civil officials. Of course, he was not stupid. This may be another provocation from Cai Bo.
Even if he wanted to escort Cai Bo into the city, Xiao Jie suppressed his anger because he knew that once he showed anger, he would fall in front of Cai Bo.
When Cai Bo entered the city, he realized that the scale of this place was far from his imagination. This ancient city of Giant Mother is not much smaller than that of Shangjing City, and it also has a large number of open spaces. The Khitan people not only live in temporary tents on the open spaces, but also raise horses there.
The city has all the streets, clinics, shops, canals, etc., and it is a city with complete facilities!
Not only that, there were quite a few soldiers in the city. The soldiers patrolling back and forth were not like tired troops at all. Both weapons and morale were quite good.
There are even inns in the southwest corner of the city, which are complete with facilities and can't tell at all that it is a temporary preparation.
After removing the things in the carriage, Cai Bo said to Bi Shijie who was with him all the way: "I never thought that your Khitan Giant Mother City was so perfect, could it be..."
Bi Shijie knew what he was going to say when he heard this, and waved his hand with a smile and said, "This is the foresight of the Grand Tutor and Your Majesty. He had long expected that the Song Dynasty would attack our Khitan in the north, so he prepared this rear city."
There is something in his words! Cai Bo smiled unchangedly and said, "Oh! He is really foresight! But I, the Song Dynasty, advocated courage and had no way to retreat. Your Majesty often said: Fighting is courage. If you work hard, then you will lose again. If you lose yourself, you will lose yourself. Therefore, you will overcome it. It is difficult to predict the great country and you will be afraid of being underestimated."
Bi Shijie laughed and looked at Cai Bo and said, "The prince consort is easy to debate!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
