Chapter 397 Appreciation (addition for the leader "Lin Sanmu")
It was difficult for Li Xia to find the loyalty of literati in the Song Dynasty, and his staff has always been insufficient.Now that Yang Guo has taken over, it can be regarded as adding many scholars in the Yang family.

He arranged carriages and horses for the Yang family and let them set off slowly, but Li Xia wanted to hurry back to Qingfu County, and had to meet Jia Sidao first on the way.

This time, more than a hundred people had to cross the Huaihe River, and they had to go from Huaiyou to Shunan, and Jia Sidao's help was indispensable. Jia Sidao told Li Xia to go to see him, and he could only go there once.

At noon that day, Li Xia carefully instructed Yang Guo about many trivial matters, such as not drinking raw water in Sichuan, preparing medicinal materials to prevent the soil from being uncomfortable, etc., before he got on the fast horse and took a step ahead.

Yang Guo watched Li Xia ride his horse away, and couldn't help but let out another long sigh, both apprehensive and longing for the new journey.

"When life is coming, who can not be homesick? I only hope that day will come..."

~~
Jia Sidao is now stationed in Ezhou, ready to go up the Han River to support Fancheng.

On the eighth day of November, he was playing a wrestling scene with soldiers in the army. He was thrown into a mud pit by a warrior and couldn't get up for a long time.

"He? He's here so soon."

Jia Sidao lay down for a while before getting up to meet the guests.

He didn't even wipe off the muddy water on his body, but when he saw Li Xia, he pointed with a smile and said, "Look at you in such a mess, how did you get here?"

"horse riding."

"When did you leave?"

"Second year of junior high school."

"No wonder, my news didn't arrive, but yours did." Jia Sidao picked up a cloth towel and threw it over, saying: "Wipe, the horse gallops wildly in rainy days, and you are not afraid of falling to death. Do you know how many generals fell from their horses in ancient times and died?"

"Time is rushing and there are many things to do."

Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Tell me, what did you do when you went north to Kaifeng?"

Jia Sidao knew many things, because the last time he sent people to Qingfu County, Li Xia asked him to help rescue Yang Guo.

Although Jia Sidao agreed, it was obvious that he didn't put his heart into it. Li Xia had taken the people to Shouzhou, and his people had just crossed the Huaihe River.

This is also expected by Li Xia. In short, if Yang Guo's future itinerary is safe, how much more demanding can these Song officials be?
"After picking up Duke Yang to Shouzhou, I inquired about some news, and I heard that Kublai Khan had delegated power, and brought his family to Hara and Lin to see Brother Meng..."

After these things were finished, Jia Sidao asked, "You saved Yang Guo, why didn't you save Zhao Bi?"

"I don't know Zhao Bi. Is he one of the envoys of the Henan Economic Strategy?" Li Xia thought for a while and asked, "A man from Kublai Khan?"

"You speculate." Jia Sidao wiped his face and made a cup of tea for a long time.

"Zhao Bi belongs to Kublai Khan. If I had robbed him at that time...would it make the Gou Kao Bureau suspicious and intensify the conflict between Brother Meng and Kublai Khan?"

"I just thought of it now, it's too late. Is there anything else?"

Li Xia asked, "Have you contacted Zhao Bi?"

"Do you need to contact him? However, if you save him, it must be worth it."

Li Xia nodded, already understanding.

This is also the reason why he is willing to come to see Jia Sidao.It has to be said that Jia Sidao is far superior to him for the time being as an official and government, and he can gain a lot with just a few words.

Jia Sidao blew on the tea, and said: "Brother Meng thinks that Kublai Khan's attack on the Song Dynasty will be disadvantageous, so he gears up to change his commander, and finally forces Kublai Khan to hand over power... Just imagine, if the Great Song Dynasty is really at a disadvantage in the war, Kublai Khan will be defeated in the future." Didn't Lie end up in the grassland and live a life of leisure?"

"good."

"Last year we were able to pass on information about Wuliang's alliance with Taiwan to attack Shu, why can't we pass on information about Tacha'er and Wang Dechen next year?"

"Not necessarily?"

Jia Sidao laughed and said, "Are you reckless as a Mongolian? Others don't mention it, Kublai Khan's Jinlianchuan shogunate is full of scholars, what kind of idea can't come up with? Really think Kublai Khan can let go?"

Li Xia asked thoughtfully, "Since that's the case, why didn't Jia Xianggong send a message asking me to save Zhao Bi?"

"Why did you ever tell me about your going north? An imperial official has left his post without permission!"

"Jia Xianggong is now serving as Xuanfu envoy of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. Is it okay to come to Jinghu Road?"

Jia Sidao was not angry, but instead smiled and said, "I am ordered by the imperial court to support Fancheng. I do things like you do. Besides, I am the official's brother-in-law, who are you?"

After hearing this, Li Xia felt that Jia Sidao thought more than he did.

It's not that he did less, but he did a lot more than the average Song Dynasty official.But he is obviously very smart, but he sees through some things and refuses to do his best.

"Are you slandering me?" Jia Sidao asked leisurely.

"Well, I'm thinking that Jia Xianggong is smart, and it's just too smooth."

"You can be called my confidant." Jia Sidao smiled instead of anger, and asked triumphantly, "Your life is going well, what can you do for it?"

"There is nothing to do."

"Let's gossip less, the matter of Kaifeng is not very important, there is no reason for me to wait for the officials of the Song Dynasty to rescue a Mongolian official, just look at it, Kublai Khan must have a backup."

Jia Sidao said, pointing to the map, and said: "At least this Tachaer, don't want to make an inch of merit."

"Yes, I admire Jia Xianggong's high-level view." Li Xia boasted casually.

"False. Let's talk about Ding Daquan and Wu Qian. I have already roughly figured out how to step on these two people to pay respects. I need your help."

"Okay." Li Xia had nothing else to talk about, so Wei simply agreed.

Jia Sidao then felt a little bored and asked, "Do you understand?"

"When Jia Xianggong is going to deal with Wu Qian, send someone to tell me, my father and son will do our best."

"Happy." Jia Sidao stared at Li Xia, and asked again: "You think I regard party struggle as a serious matter, and the war situation is secondary?"

"What does Jia Xianggong think?"

"It's helpless, if you don't have a position, how can you use the power in the world to resist Mongolia? You haven't reached a high position, I'm afraid you don't understand."

Li Xia thought for a while, and then replied: "All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, it is indeed Jia Xianggong who is the most capable and determined to resist Mongolia."

"It's good for you to know. There are a few pieces of news... Li Zengbo of Jinghu came up to play, saying that the Mongolian army might attack from Dali to Qi and Guangxi. Please send Huaizuo soldiers and horses to reinforce..."

Li Xia didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more worried. On the one hand, the pressure on Weining City could be much less, and on the other hand, Song Dynasty's defensive pressure was very high.

It has to be said that the famous generals of the Song Dynasty are all top defensive players in the world. Li Zengbo was in Jinghu and knew the defense lines of various places like the palm of his hand.

Jia Sidao is also amazing, he looks frivolous all day long, but sees everything clearly, and the news channels are very wide...

Just thinking about this, Li Xia suddenly thought that Li Zengbo might not have heard the news from Qi, but it might be that Lu Wende reported it to Jia Sidao, and Jia Sidao passed it on to Li Zengbo, asking him to dispatch troops.

Otherwise, I am afraid that people will suspect that Jia Sidao deliberately increased Lu Wende's troops.

This is a master in politics, but he was almost deceived by his cynical appearance...

Looking at Li Xia's pensive look, Jia Sidao seemed quite amused, and asked, "What do you think of?"

"Jia Xianggong is amazing."

"Why don't you say it? It's good to know. Go on, don't get too close to Pu Zezhi, he won't be Shu Shuai for long."

"Why?"

Jia Sidao didn't give a shit about it, saying: "Someone secretly told him that he had sneaked into Mongolia."

"Pu Shuai sneaked into Mongolia? This is impossible."

"Maybe it's impossible what you and I say doesn't count. The court only looks at the evidence."

"What evidence is there?"

Jia Sidao smirked and said, "It's okay to tell you, Pu Zezhi communicated secretly with the traitor Luo Xian, and the news must have reached Lin'an. Of course, now that Niu Lin is rushing to attack Chengdu, the imperial court will not move him for the time being, but who knows Whether to settle accounts after the autumn... By the way, this matter is not my doing."

"Maybe help Pu Shuai?"

"Help? How to help? The imperial court hasn't convicted him yet, so how can you predict? In short, keep in touch with Pu Zezhi, and a Shu man will not be the commander of Shu for a long time anyway. If you escape this time, there will be a next time, it's doomed."

For Jia Sidao, this was another casual beating on Li Xia.

"One more thing to remind you, this is under the rule of the Song Dynasty. The generals of the Song Dynasty are different from those of Mongolia...Even if Mongolia knows that the prince has a different heart, as long as he does not openly rebel, he can let it go and squeeze the people out of money and food; Song, what we want is long-term peace and stability, even if we know that Pu Zezhi has no dissenting intentions, we must take precautions before it happens, otherwise if there is a disturbance, it will hurt the people of Song Dynasty, do you understand?"

Li Xia nodded.

"It's good to understand, but do you know why I'm waiting here?"

"I don't know."

"Flying Tiger Army." Jia Sidao pointed to the soldier talisman on the table, and said, "I have dispatched the Flying Tiger Army to help me defeat the enemy."

Li Xia squinted his eyes, and had a dangerous premonition.

Jia Sidao said slowly: "I'm telling you that only when I'm in the aspect can I be free; I'm also telling you that your little fights are useless, so don't learn from others. See clearly who is doing the hard work. Protect the great Song mountains and rivers."

It has to be said that this sentence made Li Xia feel an inexplicable chill.

The next moment, Jia Sidao laughed loudly, and put his arms around his shoulders, saying, "Feiyu, I really... admire you so much. I can't help it, I can't help it. I treat you just like Meng Shaobao treated me..."

This is Li Xia's recent mention of Meng Gong again.

When Meng Gong dismissed him, he entrusted Jia Sidao with frontier defense; when Jia Sidao grows old, he may not entrust Li Xia.At least for now it sounds sincere.

However, Meng Gong still had the ambition to regain the Central Plains. When Jia Sidao arrived, all he had left was to protect the great Song Dynasty.

The phrase "treat you like Meng Gong treats me", but by then, what is left?
　I am very grateful for this support~~I also wish you a happy new year, and it happens to welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the new year. Gong Xi Fa Cai~~
