Chapter 136: Detention

For ethnic areas, the successful policy in ancient times was called "restraint". The so-called "restraint" means that the ethnic areas, the people of all ethnic groups and the upper class of tribes should be "restrained" on the one hand and controlled by military means and political pressure; on the other hand, "restraint" is used to comfort economic and material interests. Under the appropriate conditions and opportunities, "restraint" is then used to "restraint the land and return to the current", making it a direct jurisdiction that is prohibited by the central government. Today's so-called "autonomousness" is generally a reference and inheritance of this policy.

Using barbarians to control barbarians, taking advantage of the conflicting and restraining of other countries, restricting major hostile countries and maintaining border peace, is an effective basic national policy, both in the Song Dynasty and now. Don’t underestimate this "restriction". You must have determination, confidence, means, and courage. If you are yours, you will never be able to escape. You must be patient and tolerate others to have a development stage. The adaptation stage will come naturally. The "restriction" area will naturally become a county in the Celestial Dynasty, and local officials will also be replaced by a temporary official. Never be impatient or impatient. If you surpass the stage, the faster it will be, and the future will be endless.

On June 25, Zhao Xiao and his party arrived at the Yemachuan, the military garrison of Jialu River. The terrain here is not flat, mostly with low slopes and hills. Several small lakes are scattered among them, with abundant grass and trees. It is a place with abundant water and grass. The wild tribes occupy this land, and the Yemachuan is sandwiched between two valleys less than 100 meters high.

Yeli built a city here again. He was at the entire eastern end of the valley and almost blocked the valley entrance surrounded by hills in the south. The village gate was located slightly north of the valley entrance, and four horses could be used in parallel from the valley entrance to the village gate. Behind the village gate there was a cliff, and only two horses could be used in parallel, which could avoid the risk of being besieged on all sides. The valley was made of two steep ridge guards, and the peaks were jagged. Even if it occupied the saddle between the peaks, attacking the fortress from a high position was very difficult and dangerous.

If Zhao Jie wanted to capture this castle, he could only use the curved firepower of the mortar cannon in a flat and wide area, but the main body of the fortress could not be seen in those places, and whether the results could be achieved are unknown. If the current army's equipment is used, it can be said that it is completely useless. Even if you use bows and arrows to capture the high ground, it is hard to say whether the arrows can fly at this distance, let alone the walls of the village blocking it, as long as there is water and food in the village, it is difficult to break.

The meeting place was chosen on a flat grassland on a small lake in front of the hamlet. Several tents were set up there, and hundreds of steps were left as the negotiation site. Obviously, on one side were Yeli's side, and on the other side were left for Zhao Jie and the others. But when Zhao Jie and his party entered the venue, Yeli and the others were still shocked. There were only twelve people, twenty horses and two big carts, including Zhao Jie. On the other hand, there were more than ten big leaders involved in the negotiations. If the small leaders and guards who only had hundreds of tents were added, there would be a thousand servants.

Because he was negotiating on behalf of the court, Zhao Qi changed into an official uniform, but he did not wear a royal robe, but a narrow robe with white satin uniform, a silver embroidered robe, a golden crown on his head, a gold belt on his waist, a royal treasure knife on his back, a crimson-mouthed trousers on his lower body, a soapy cloud boots on his feet, and a white face that was shining white and red. He was such a handsome young man. On the left were Lu Xiaoyao and Wu Song, two monks and lay worshipers, behind him were two worshipers, including Zhao Xin, seven guards including Zhao Xin, with red turbans on his head, grass-green combat uniforms, half-leaders, half-leaders, half-leaders, half-haired leather armor, a dagger on his waist, a revolver and a kettle, a sheathed horizontal knife and a helmet behind him, a beaded gun and ammunition bag on his shoulders, and a knee-length horse was riding a black horse of the same color.

Ye Li and the leaders sitting opposite him looked at the smiling boy, and they were really mixed feelings. He killed more than 5,000 of his own people in two battles, forcing him to leave in the battle. He still often wakes up in his dreams, but when he sees him bringing only more than ten people, he dares to go deep into the summer realm. This courage also makes him admire him, and it actually gives rise to the meaning of heroes cherishing each other.

"General Yeli, this is our second prince of the Song Dynasty, Prince Yan, Taibao Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Baode Jiedushi, General Shangzhuguo, Deputy Envoy of the Northwest Lines, and Deputy Envoy of the Strategic Pacification of the Hedong Lines. Today, we met with the general as promised!" Lu Xiaoyao and Yeli drank for a few days, and were also considered familiars, so they introduced him.

"The prince is here, and the carriage is exhausted. Please come to the seat first!" Although he wanted to kill him quickly, he came as promised, and Yeli had to make a gesture and politely said immediately.

"Then I'll bother the general!" The two of them dismounted. Zhao Qi and Yeli walked side by side to the big tent in the middle and sat opposite each other, but Yeli sat behind him, and there were a few guards standing behind him, and the momentum seemed to be a little weaker.

When both sides sat down, Ye Li clapped his hands and the people brought the prepared wine and dishes, all of which were beef, mutton, pheasants, wild deer, etc. The cooking method was only roasted and cooked. The wine was also made of millet made from Xixia, but the large pieces of meat and large bowls of wine were also very similar to Zhao Qiong's taste. After saying a few open remarks that were neither salty nor light, both sides fell into an inexplicable mood. After all, the two sides had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and no one could turn the corner. No one mentioned the purpose of sitting here, as if whoever said it first would suffer losses in the negotiation.

"Come on, I'll give you a bowl to the prince!"

"Okay, please drink with the general!"

"Young hero of the prince, I admire you, please drink a bowl!"

"The general is good at commanding, and it is admirable. I respect you a bowl!"

Since there was nothing to say, he could only use alcohol to play and transfer the battlefield to the table intentionally or unintentionally. There were only Zhao Qi and the other side, but there were many people and powerful people, as if they were at a disadvantage. However, Zhao Qi, with the heroic spirit of sacrificing his life to accompany a gentleman, refused everyone to come. When the wine was gone, Ye Li and others were drinking, it was really good. It was basically one bowl to one bowl, without showing any weakness.

．

．

The two sides did not mention the serious matters of this wine. From the sunrise and the east mountain to the west mountain, the sunset and the west mountain. Judging from the proportion, the Song Dynasty won, and two of the three were sitting there. Lu Xiaoyao was already tilted on the carpet and slept soundly. In terms of the number of people, Xixia won, and there were five or six people behind Yeli who tried their best to not fall down.

"Damn, I wish the general a hundred years of life!" Zhao Qi raised his glass again and said with drunken eyes.

"Okay, let's drink together with the prince!" Yeli said with a burp and raised his hand to pour the wine into his mouth mechanically. At this time, he had no fun at all. The only belief that he could not lose to the Song people still supported him.

"General, you have a good drink, let's have another bowl!" Zhao Qiong drank it all, lit up the bottom of the bowl and said. Now the toasts that were full of your mind had long been replaced by the full of wine.

"Damn, this kid wants to drink..." Hearing Zhao Qi's words, the confidence of the leaders behind Yeli was destroyed and could no longer hold on. He leaned back and lay down. Wu Song gave the prince an encouragement look of "it's all for you" and fell down unwillingly. There were only two family members left on the table and confronted each other.

It was already dark and the banquet was not over yet. People raised a bonfire on the grassland, "Prince, please come here!" Nori stood up shakingly, pushed the servant who was supporting him to the side, wiped the sweat from his face and said.

"Please, General!" Zhao Qi also stood up unsteadily and made a gesture of invitation, "Don't follow me, eat, drink!" He waved his hand and refused the guard who was about to help him, took off the embroidery robe and threw it to Zhao Xin, not allowing them to follow him anymore. Zhao Xin took the embroidery robe and shook his head. The prince was really drunk too much, and the clothes soaked in sweat were filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

The two steps staggered together, "General, do you still have wine?" Zhao Qi asked with a grin.

"Uh..." Yeli burped a long time, "The prince wants to drink it, of course, there is still some, let's drink it again!"

"Okay! But, please sit for a while, General, I will find a place to urinate and make a living!" Zhao Qi said with pain on his face.

"Haha, let's go with you. I've been holding it in for a long time. Let's drink it again when we come back!" Yeli said with a blunt laugh, "You guys roast the lamb here, and I'll drink it again when we come back!"

"Hehe, after working on it for a long time, the general is holding it over. Hurry up, I can't do it anymore!" Everyone may have experienced this thing, no one mentioned it, and they may be able to hold on for a while, but if one starts, others will be like an infectious disease and will not be able to stand it.

"Yes, the more you say it, the more anxious we will go there!" Yeri also covered her stomach and said in pain. Unconsciously, he pulled Zhao Qi and the others to stagger towards the small lake in the north. When they got back after finishing the matter, they were already talking and laughing, holding their backs, saying that they sat in front of the fire and started drinking hard again. When the two were drunk, they still held each other's hands and made an appointment to go hunting together tomorrow.

If this kind of thing happens in the Central Plains, it will definitely be considered a very rude thing, but it is too normal in Xixia. It is like on the territory of the Russians. If you can't see a few drunkards tilted by the roadside, it seems to be a shortcoming! The people of Xixia are famous for being "drinking with alcohol". The Dangxiang people are straightforward and righteous in character. They sit together with each other, regardless of age, regardless of their official position, they only follow the orders of the officials and titles, and entertain themselves. After getting drunk, they say goodbye to their neighbors and relatives. It is common for everyone to hug each other and cry bitterly.

Xixia also used the characteristics of the "drinking" of the nomadic people in the west. Li Jiqian ordered his subordinates to make wine to lure Dangxiang on the border of Song and Xia. The Tubo people rebeled from the Song Dynasty to join Xixia. Because there were many people drinking in Xixia, people were often drunk easily. Xixia law was lighter in crimes after being drunk, and was exempted from criminal responsibility for minor matters. When drunk, he took away other people's livestock or took away other people's property. As long as he sobered up, he would be able to return it. No one was allowed to report or complain. Xixia often rewarded soldiers with outstanding military achievements. However, those who won the first place were given a glass of wine. It can be seen that drinking was not only a material enjoyment for the Xixia people, but also played an irreplaceable role in connecting with the unity between tribes and carrying forward the spirit of martial arts.
