Chapter 3 Southerners and Northerners

Although Wanyan Huo Nu didn't understand what his father meant very much, she also knew that this was probably his father's last instruction. He felt sour and astringent in front of him. He wanted to answer, but his throat was surging and he didn't know what to say.

Wanyan Loushi patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

He stood with his hands behind his back. When the Han officials arrived, he reached out and smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work, prepare some wine to wash your dust, please!"

At this time, he spoke Chinese in Chinese, with a pure voice and a modest tone. The group of Chinese officials were stunned at first, and then replied indiscriminately: "This is too troublesome to my lord, how dare you take it?"

"Okay, don't be polite, please come to the seat."

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, he suddenly realized and smiled and said, "It's late tonight, everyone doesn't have to give in. The elders are the chief, and age is the most respectful, how about it?"

Even so, the Han people were very rules and finally gave in, but in the end they followed Wanyan Loushi, regardless of their official position, they only depended on age.

Wanyan Huo's woman looked contemptuous. This group of Han officials, as a prisoner, was still so pedantic.

He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what his father liked them.

After everyone sat down, Wanyan Loushi raised his glass and smiled and said, "There is nothing good. I'll give you a glass of wine."

After saying that, he raised his neck and drank it all.

Wanyan Huo's girl was very anxious to see that she knew that her father was most afraid of drinking, but she didn't dare to come forward to persuade her.

Wanyan Loushi drank a cup, but it was not as uncomfortable as he thought. He lit the chopsticks and asked the Han officials: "Please, don't be polite."

The Han officials went north, eating wind and dew, and working hard. At this time, the room was as warm as spring, and the wine and meat were fragrant, so they could not stand it. At that moment, everyone drank the wine in their hands, and immediately the chopsticks fell like rain, and they did not stop.

Wanyan Loushi smiled and knew that they were so hungry that they ordered: "Come on, come and serve wine and food."

The servants responded outside and immediately served wine and food again. More than a dozen Han officials were so hungry that they were so hungry that they were not polite. Naturally, they ate and didn't even say a few words.

Wanyan Loushi himself had no appetite. He slapped the chopsticks a few times, so he looked for some light side dishes and ate a few bites. He was thinking about talking, but he coughed up. He coughed a lot and felt sweet in his throat. He knew something was wrong, so he quickly turned his head and pressed a towel on his mouth. After a while, he took it away.

Wanyan Huo's girl saw clearly that the cloth was covered with blood stains. He hurriedly stepped forward to take it, looked at the people on the table with hatred, turned around and left, unable to bear to look at it again.

Wanyan Loushi was not as good as he was concerned about him, and he couldn't help but persuade everyone to drink and eat. But suddenly he saw Qin Hui on the opposite side with a worried face, only drinking and not eating. He felt aroused in his heart and couldn't help asking him, "Sir Qin, why don't you move your chopsticks?"

Qin Hui was thinking, and when he saw him asking, he was startled, and then quickly smiled and said, "I have always been weak in my lower body, and I have been running around for days and have lost my appetite."

Wanyan Loushi smiled slightly and said, "Is that true?"

Qin Hui knew that the other party was cunning and cunning, and was the most difficult senior official to deceive the Jurchens. He had to say again: "The road ahead is difficult, and Hui was worried, so he was a little unpleasant."

"Oh? Haha, Lord Qin is really sentimental."

Wanyan Huo's woman smiled and actually picked up a piece of venison with her own hands and placed it in Qin Hui's bowl. She smiled and said, "What do you think so much? No matter how difficult it is to walk, follow the road, are you afraid that it will not work?"

Qin Hui had a slight attempt and had to barely eat the venison he had grabbed. He is from Jiangnan, but in fact he really doesn't like meat. He swallowed a piece of fishy and spicy meat and felt bitter and almost shed tears.

Wanyan Loushi laughed loudly and quickly ordered someone to send him hot tea to rinse his mouth.

When Qin Hui was a little better, Wanyan Loushi asked again, "I heard that you have said some Zhang He in front of Marshal Chang, and they are very insightful. I wonder if you can tell me the previous one?"

Qin Hui knew that this matter could not be hidden from others, so he said at the moment: "What I and the Marshal are talking about is my opinion on the struggle between the Song and Jin countries. In my opinion, the north and the south have different customs, people have different personalities and habits. The northern people are useless to get the southern people, and the southern people live in the northern people, so it is better for the southern people to return to the south and the northern people to live in the north. Everyone follows the customs, each living in the south, and each sharings the existence and non-existence, and each guards their own land. In this way, wars will be avoided. The nobles can calm their efforts and worry, and the people can enjoy peace. Isn't that good?"

These words were really out of Qin Hui's sincerity, and were the truth he had learned during his years of detention in the northern country. He was from Jiangnan. When he lived in the north, the black soil, ice and snow all taught him that he was extremely distressed and unbearable. At the same time, he also knew that when the Jurchens went to Jiangnan, they were also densely covered with water and the stuffy southern weather in summer. After thinking about it, this person came up with such a wonderful idea: the Song Dynasty would give the north to the Jurchens, and the southerners in the north could come back to live in the south, divide the rivers on both sides to rule, live peacefully, and do not violate each other, and live and work in peace and contentment according to their habits. From then on, they could have fewer disputes.

This time he was released, one was that he gained Wanyan Chang's trust. The other party knew that he had lost his spirit and hoped that Song Jin would not fight again from now on, and that there would be no harm in letting him go back.

Another thing is that he proposed such a theory, which at that time also confused some officials and people who suffered from war. Letting him go back and making a big splash can confuse the vigilance of the Song Dynasty and reduce the other party's fighting spirit.

When later generations mentioned this matter, they always scolded Qin Hui, but no one expected it.

Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Chang and other upper nobles of the Jin Dynasty were also very sensual and greedy for enjoyment, and they were determined to discuss peace with the Song Dynasty and no longer fight.

Even if Qin Hui did not propose it, they would send others to execute it.

Wu Qimai rarely believed that Zong Han was old and Zong Fu was sick, Zong Bi had not yet grasped the power of the court, Zong Pan, Wanyan Chang and others were also peacekeepers in the Jin Kingdom. After Fuping's battle, he gave the Jin Kingdom the excuse to seek peace.

He was released to the Han officials, returned to Shaanxi, Hedong, Henan, Shandong and other places, and negotiated peace with Song. This matter was proposed by Wanhu Wanyan Loushi, the well-known general Wanhu Wanyan Loushi. For Wanyan Chang and others, it was better to sleep and meet a pillow.

Qin Hui followed this speech, but the Han officials present were all selected cords. Although the officials of the Lord and the Sect kept eating and drinking, they stopped entering Hong Kong. After he finished speaking, everyone stopped eating and drinking. After thinking for a moment, they all said, "Mr. Qin is really a genius among the Southerners. These words are really reasonable."

Wanyan Loushi also praised the high-high and said, "The people in the south return to the south, and the people in the north return to the north. This is really a famous saying, and it should be clear."

While he was learning Chinese, he also learned a lot of Chinese poetry and prose, and spoke very elegantly. After he finished speaking, he really raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

Seeing that he was like this, everyone drank a glass of wine.

For a moment, the atmosphere in this small room was very good, and everyone was laughing and laughing happily, and they were very intimate with the Jurchens.

After three rounds of wine and the cup was in a mess, Wanyan Loushi said to everyone again: "Mr. Qin also agrees with our Jurchens. The two countries have fought military service, and the people were killed and injured. Why bother to come? Now I send you all back to China, hoping that the two countries can stop the war, our country can return all the cities of your country, and return them to the captured relatives and nobles that day. Everyone will no longer fight. How great is this."

Everyone said, "It's the extreme, it's the extreme."

He also said: "Whether the peace agreement is of great significance. In order to show sincerity, we will first withdraw from Shanzhou and give up Tongguan. If the peace agreement is completed, Tokyo Bianliang will be returned to you. Please come to the Jingkang Emperor and declare our kindness more."

Seeing that everyone nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, he smiled slightly, gave each other a few more cups, and then withdrew.

When I arrived outside the door, I saw Wanyanhuo's face turned blue with anger. He stood in the snow without saying anything, just staring at himself in a daze.

He knew that not only his son, but many Jurchen nobles were dissatisfied with the decision to make peace and land. He sighed in his heart and said to Wanyan Huo’s daughter: “It is true to give up Shanzhou and other places. Henan and Tokyo can also return them. The lands in Hedong are in a fight for incoming land. My son doesn’t have to stay here for a long time, but he quickly took my troops and horses to Taiyuan to see Sali. After he got Zongbi’s instructions, you will understand when you go and talk to him.”

Although Wanyan Huo’s girl was still angry, she had to bow and nod and replied: “Yes, my son is obedient.”
