Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 73 Three people swim in the lake
As soon as Zhao and Ju said this, even Meng Gong and Qiu Zhiqing were a little silent. The Mongols are really strong these days.But this does not mean that the Southern Song Dynasty did not have the power to fight.

After all, Meng Gong is a Confucian general who can fight and dare to fight. He not only has the blood and courage of a general, but also has the spirit of a scholar!Soon he came back to his senses.

He said resolutely: "No matter what, the Mongols are not invincible. In the end... From my humble opinion, as long as the command is proper and the logistics is sufficient, I will dare to lead the army to fight."

Speaking of this, it aroused his heroic feelings and fighting spirit, and no matter who poured the wine for him, he took a sip, and then took a heavy meal, saying:
"Even if the Kingdom of Jin lingers on and loses Hedong and Hebei, it will still be able to defeat the Mongolian army in Weizhou and Dachangyuan. If it weren't for..."

Speaking of this section, Meng Gong closed his mouth in resentment. Although he was heroic for a while, he still had a sense of what to say and what not to say. Misfortune came out of his mouth.

Qiu Zhiqing accidentally understood this, and looked at Meng Gong with a puzzled face. A gust of spring breeze blew by, the willows swayed with the wind, and catkins floated up. Meng Gong pretended to be looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in February,

No matter what Ren Qiu Zhiqing thought, he just didn't look at Qiu Zhiqing directly.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yuju was angry and funny, and what he was laughing at was that Meng Gong, the commander-in-chief of all armies, was so rascal.What makes me angry is that Meng Gong didn't dare to tell the truth when the three of them were together, so one can imagine how many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty could be honest with him?
Thinking of this episode, Zhao and Ju were inevitably a little lost, and began to remain silent!Qiu Zhiqing fell into silence when he saw Meng Gong's heroic words between the two of them swallowed halfway into his stomach.

Curious in his heart, although he knew that it was a taboo to talk about which pot was left open, but Qiu Zhiqing still couldn't restrain his damn curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

"If not what?" What should come will always come, Meng Gong continued to play dumb: "It's nothing!"

Zhao Yuju took over the conversation, and said: "Let me say it, brother Puyu has some scruples and it is reasonable, it has been Shaoding for four years..."

It turned out that four years in Shaoding, that is, three years ago, Mongolia fought fiercely with the Kingdom of Jin in Tongguan and the Yellow River, but they didn't take advantage of it. Wo Kuotai ordered Tuo Lei to lead his army through Hanzhong and went along the Han River. Down, flanking the hinterland of Nanyang, Kingdom of Jin.

The Southern Song Dynasty naturally refused, and they still wanted to use the Kingdom of Jin as a barrier.Unexpectedly, Meng Ge was fierce, Gui Ruyuan, the governor of Sichuan, feared the enemy like a tiger and did not think of resisting the enemy. After being attacked, he abandoned the city and fled on the grounds that he had not received an order to resist.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hanzhong suffered disasters. As an envoy of the Sichuan regime, he was dismissed from office because he was Shi Miyuan's confidant...

Then there was the battle of Sanfeng Mountain outside Junzhou City, which completely ruined the elite of the Jin Kingdom.
Hearing what Zhao Yuju said, Qiu Zhiqing remembered that he met Hong Qigong in Lantian just after he came down from the mountain. At that time, Hong Qigong let those Song officials go in anger at Dasan Pass. .

When I told Zhao Yuju and Meng Gong what happened when I first came down the mountain, both of them sighed. If Xichuan and Shukou had been closed at that time, the situation today would not be the same.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy, Qiu Zhiqing said: "I firmly believe that as long as generals are not afraid of death and civil servants are not fond of money, our Great Song Dynasty is still capable of fighting, so what if the Mongolian army is powerful? I saw a lot of them in Bianliang this time. Han Zu, what does this mean?"

Meng Gong's face was shocked, and he said: "Chong and Niubi are right. When I was in Caizhou, I also saw that the Mongolian army's combat power is indeed strong, but they are not many in number. We just need to recover their homeland and compress them." The occupied Central Plains territory is like this, and it is not without the power to fight!"

In this regard, Zhao and Ju were noncommittal, picked up their wine glasses, came to the side of the boat, watched the West Lake full of tourists, shuttling back and forth, and all kinds of gorgeous boats on the lake wandering comfortably in the lake, feeling a little emotional in their hearts.

In such a season of blooming flowers and beautiful scenery on a good day, why not go to the lake with wine tasting?Why do you want to provoke those northern barbarians?All the late emperors were like this, so why should I?

Just as Zhao and Ju were thinking this way, their complexions softened a bit, and when they began to appreciate the beauty of the West Lake, Qiu Zhiqing read a sentence inappropriately: "The warm wind blows the tourists drunk, making Hangzhou into Bianzhou..."

At some point, Qiu Zhiqing was also standing beside Zhao Yuju, looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake and the beauties visiting the lake, he couldn't help but sigh with envy.

However, what Zhao Yuju heard was not the case. This was not Qiu Zhiqing's envy, but it was Qiu Zhiqing's silent mockery of him.

Ashamed that they wanted to give up just now, Zhao Yuju turned sideways, looked at Qiu Zhiqing seriously, and said, "Brother Chong, you were born in Beidi, can you tell me the truth about how the people in Beidi treat me?" Zhao family!"

As soon as Zhao Yuju said this, Meng Gong, who was sitting there without moving, wished that he didn't bring his ears today.This was really too much of an impact, and he winked at Qiu Zhiqing.

At the same time, I secretly prayed in my heart: "My brother Chong and brother, don't be blind, or else brother can't save you!"

Meng Gong's innermost thoughts were not as he wished, and Qiu Zhiqing heard them.However, what Zhao and Ju said made Qiu Zhiqing uncomfortable. Is it really good to complain about their ancestors in front of friends?

Perhaps seeing Qiu Zhiqing's hesitation, Zhao Yuju's face was firm, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Brother Chong and brother, but it's okay, there are only three of us waiting here (Cao Nei waits for his shadow), the emperor and empress do Even if someone pursues this matter against you, I will give up my life to protect you!"

To be honest, Qiu Zhiqing was a little moved. After muttering for a while, Qiu Zhiqing said something that left Zhao and Ju speechless: "I'm not really worried about myself. I'm a quack, and I'm free to come and go. I'm worried. It's you!"

"It's okay!" Qiu Zhiqing was slightly shocked by the decisive words, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let me tell you a story, it was about Jiading Thirteen, and it was the first time I went down the mountain..."

So Qiu Zhiqing talked to Zhao Yuju and Meng Gong about what happened in Xihebao more than ten years ago.The more Zhao and Ju listened, the more silent they became, while the more Meng Gong listened, the more useless they became.

"Is that true? Why don't you fight with anger, mourn your misfortune, and hate him? If the Great Song Dynasty makes the Northern Expedition, where will your Quanzhen Taoism go?" Zhao Yuju looked at Qiu Zhiqing with piercing eyes.

Qiu Zhiqing said again solemnly: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different! Loving the motherland and contributing to the country is the duty of every Chinese person!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao and Ju said yes three times, and then continued: "Today, I went to the lake impromptuly, but I was almost confused by the beautiful scenery. One thought made me almost lose my life. Come! I'm just drinking!"

Although Qiu Zhiqing didn't know what he was talking about, but he was showing face like this, so naturally he had to save some face for him. This time when Zhao Yuju poured wine for Meng Gong, Meng Gong didn't dare to hide anymore, and behaved honestly. Clink glasses with two people and drink with each other.

The next time is the key point. Meng Gong, Zhao Yuju took turns to ask questions, and Qiu Zhiqing answered.

He asked about the people's livelihood and people's conditions in Shandong, Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Guanzhong and other places he had been to, and Cao Neishi quickly recorded them on the side.At the same time, he inquired in detail about the situation of the Yellow River and the capacity of each ferry.

Of course, Qiu Zhiqing couldn't answer too professionally, but Meng Gong was able to draw reliable data and answers from Qiu Zhiqing's narration.

It was really a show in front of Qiu Zhiqing and Zhao Yuju.Especially Zhao and Ju, looking at Meng Gong more and more wrongly, this scene was seen by Qiu Zhiqing on the side, and couldn't help secretly worrying about these two friends, there shouldn't be anything going on between them, right?

The three of them spent the whole afternoon in this question and answer, and the old servant's records already had two stacks of papers, one thick and one thin, the thick ones were the questions of the two and Qiu Zhiqing's answers, and the thin ones were Meng Gong's. conclusion.

The warm spring sun slowly slid down along the Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, and the golden light shone on the sparkling West Lake, reflecting on the faces of three people on the side of a cruise ship.

It was Zhao and Ju who ended the question and answer!

In this situation, Zhao and Ju couldn't help but recite half a poem: "The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk!"

You may feel that these two sentences are a bit out of place, Zhao and Ju filled their wine glasses again, and then raised their glasses with determination: "Everything in the past is a prologue, and the Northern Expedition is set to start from now on! May the Great Song Dynasty be revived!" !” After that, he raised his wine glass!
Qiu Zhiqing pondered for a moment, raised his glass to touch Zhao Yuju's cup, and wished: "Even though the crowd is turbulent and the time is like an arrow, I hope that all gallops can go to the light! May the king set the Central Plains in the north!"

After all, he raised his cup and looked at Meng Gong. Zhao and Ju also looked at Meng Gong. , fireworks to the stars, chasing death and chasing the north, all wishes come true!"

After all, with one lift of the cup, the three cups slammed together. In the eyes of Cao Neishi, the setting sun disappeared into the sky and earth, melted into the wine, and flowed into the stomachs of the three...
