A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

A fleet of ships slowly sailed towards the distant land.

Several seabirds chirped and flew past the side. Su Yan on the boat stood on the deck, staring at the approaching land, and said: "Seizing the city is an important chess piece of the Song Dynasty to contain Jiaozhi. This trip must be carried out." Let Champa bow his head and take the initiative to harass Jiaozhi."

He turned around slowly, followed by the accompanying officials and sergeants.

The deputy envoy Zhang Chi's beard and hair were all gray. He had suffered a lot during the voyage, and he looked tired now.

Su Yan was too young. Even though Shen An was sure that he could do it, the court still sent the steady Zhang Chilai because he was worried that Su Yan would make a mistake.

"It's better to talk about it." Zhang Chi almost vomited half of his life along the way, but at this moment he still managed to keep himself up and stood up straight, "Champa and Jiaozhi are mortal enemies. It's impossible for them to be friends, so we have to Be patient.”

This is a common understanding, and the DPRK and the Central Government do not like to be at odds with Champa, as that would be equivalent to loosening the bonds of the Cochin people.

"Someone has some patience."

Su Yan looked at the warship behind and said: "Back then, Champa promised to provide ports and supplies for our navy. Now we are here to see what they say."

The fleet slowly docked. The people on the shore were panicked for a while, and then a group of sergeants came surrounded by several officials.

They specially brought several war ships with them for this trip. When the war ships docked, the coolies on the shore could not help but salute devoutly.

"We represent the Song Dynasty!"

Before docking, Su Yan made this final statement.

"Yes, we represent the Song Dynasty!"

The fleet docked, the planks were set up, and several officials from the city came over with smiles.

Su Yan stepped on the ship's plank first.

Squeak...

The ship's planks seemed solid, but they actually bent downwards after stepping on them.

If it were another person, he would probably be dancing around in panic at this moment, and he might even fall down.

But Su Yan's body sank, and then after the boat was stabilized, he landed lightly on the shore.

The officials who occupied the city were obviously stunned.

"What a skill!"

Song Dynasty was also praising Su Yan's skills.

But they didn't know that Su Yan was working at the dock back then.

Sometimes they have to get on the ship to unload the cargo, carrying the bags and stepping ashore on the ship's planks.

Compared with those, this is just trivial.

But there is obviously something wrong with this boat plank!

In an instant, the blue sky seemed to be filled with haze in the eyes of the Song Dynasty delegation.

There was anger in Zhang Chi's eyes, but it disappeared immediately, and he whispered: "Don't get angry, take a look first before talking."

After landing, accompanied by an interpreter, Su Yan talked with local officials.

"Your envoy is coming from afar. We have sent people to inform the king. We also ask your envoy to take a rest, and then we will go to meet the king together."

This etiquette is impeccable.

There was anger in Su Yan's eyes, and Zhang Chi whispered: "Calm down."

When the envoy from the Song Dynasty came, the king of the country should send important ministers to greet him, but according to this person, there was no such thing. Later, they would take the envoy from the Song Dynasty to see the king of Champa.

Su Yan smiled and said, "That's fine."

This rest lasted until the next day. Zhang Chilai found Su Yan and said solemnly: "The people in Champa are indifferent. I'm afraid this time will be in vain."

On this trip, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of getting the Champa people to agree to launch an attack on Cochin, but before the matter was announced, the Champa people's attitude was not right.

Very cold!

Su Yan woke up naturally after sleeping, very energetic, and said with a smile: "Never mind this, let's have breakfast."

The young man is good, at least he is stable.

Zhang Chi thought of the envoy's resume and couldn't help but feel that good fortune was miraculous.

A coolie who worked as a porter passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. He then had a smooth career and was considered a winner in life.

After breakfast, the Champa people came to invite them to leave, but Su Yan asked them to wait.

"I need to take a nap."

He said firmly: "This journey has been too hard. I need to sleep a little longer."

The Champa people had no choice but to wait.

I slept until the afternoon, so naturally I couldn't leave.

So we spent another day working together.

After breakfast the next day, Su Yan yawned and went to bed as usual.

I go!

Is this messenger here to recuperate? People in Champa find it very strange.

On the dock, Da Song's ships were being overhauled and drinking water and food were constantly being replenished. The sergeants were practicing, shouting and killing loudly.

The Champa people felt that this was inappropriate, so on the third day, they tried hard to persuade Su Yan and finally pulled Su Yan out.

Walking slowly along the way, when we saw the palace, there was a group of sergeants outside.

"They are their elite."

There were experienced generals accompanying him, whispering.

Su Yan walked over with a smile on his face. Outside the gate, a civil servant from Zhancheng saluted with his hands raised and said in fluent Song Dynasty dialect: "Your envoy has come from afar. The king is very happy. He is already waiting inside. Please come in."

Su Yan nodded and followed in.

Later, I met the king. The king wore a golden hat and looked quite majestic.

"I've met the king."

Su Yan saluted, and the king nodded, "Sit down."

With the interpreter nearby, everyone sat down one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"What's the matter with your noble envoy coming from afar?"

The king spoke very coldly.

Su Yan said: "The foreign minister came here for two things. First, the envoy who occupied the city last time said that the king promised to keep the navy of the Song Dynasty permanently and provide supplies. The foreign minister brought the warship this time and hoped that the king would fulfil your promise."

The king's cheek moved and he looked at the minister.

The civil servant who welcomed them in raised a glass, and Su Yan also raised a glass. After sniffing it, he felt that the wine in the glass was very fragrant.

"This is coconut wine, please taste it."

Su Yan took a sip and thought it was pretty good.

The civil servant put down his cup and looked at the envoy, "Jiaozhi and the Song Dynasty were at war, and the people of Jiaozhi were defeated. Now they were very angry, so they roared at Champa, saying that Champa colluded with the Song Dynasty, and they had crossed the border several times to harass. A large-scale attack was launched. If the navy of the Song Dynasty were stationed in Champa, this would give the Cochin people an excuse and they would come with overwhelming force..."

He smiled and said resolutely: "We are not afraid of Jiaozhi if we occupy the city, but we need the support of the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty can garrison 100,000 troops here, the city of Champa will immediately launch an attack on Jiaozhi."

Some people in the mission were dissatisfied, but they were suppressing it.

This is clearly a shirk!

Jiaozhi and Champa have been fighting for many years. No matter what happened to Champa and the Song Dynasty, it is unlikely to affect the relationship between them.

In a word, they are already mortal enemies, why are they afraid of making more enemies?

Su Yan lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "One more thing, the Song Dynasty has already suppressed Jiaozhi, but they need to rise up after all. It is best to take the initiative to go to war with the Song Dynasty, but they tolerate the harassment of the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty hopes to occupy the city To launch an attack on Jiaozhi, if both sides attack together, Jiaozhi will inevitably become intolerable and will have no choice but to take action."

"Unless a hundred thousand troops are stationed in Champa City." The official interrupted Su Yan again and said with a smile: "A certain person has a Chinese name, called Han De. I have been to the Song Dynasty and seen the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. I want to come to the Song Dynasty." Isn’t it okay to send 100,000 troops?”

He still used this excuse to prevaricate!

Su Yan raised his head slightly and said: "With a hundred thousand troops, it is not easy to transport supplies by water. Can Champa provide it?"

Han De had an exaggerated look on his face, "How can we, a small country with few people, afford money and food?"

Su Yan said calmly: "Does that mean that the king will not agree to both things?"

His eyes turned to the king.

The king slowly raised his head as if he was taking a nap, "Listen, this is the sound of the Cochin people's war horses. Our ancestors died in battle, and our country was looted by them, and the earth was soaked with blood. We are not opponent."

This is a very direct rejection.

Su Yan stood up and said, "So, I'm going to have a rest."

He yawned and left rudely.

After the delegation left, there was a silence inside.

"Can't agree."

Han De said solemnly: "Last time the envoy went to Bianliang, Shen An sold us weapons and then asked for the right to station the navy. We actually agreed. This is stupid."

The king took a sip of coconut wine and said calmly: "Once the Song people come in, it will be dangerous to occupy the city, so we would like to entertain them, but we do not agree to either of these things."

Some officials said worriedly: "What if they fall out? The Song people have a huge navy. If they launch an attack, we may not be able to defeat them!"

Another minister also agreed with this opinion, "The last time their navy was in Zhenla, they destroyed the Zhenla navy in a battle. The leader of Zhenla was so frightened that he rushed out to greet them."

The king looked at them and said calmly: "The navy is a navy, and the navy is powerful, but if they want to attack us, they have to install elephant legs on their warships, but elephants are for occupying cities, and the Song people don't have them."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

There are many elephants in the southwest, whether in Jiaozhi or Champa, including Chenla, elephants are not uncommon. After being gradually tamed, they can even be used by people.

Han De seemed to have a high status. He looked at everyone and said proudly: "Champa and Zhenla are rivals, and Jiaozhi is rival. If we want to expand, we can only use the Song Dynasty."

Champa is really powerful. They fought against Jiaozhi before, taking the initiative, and then fought against Zhenla. In other words, they were one on two. Although he failed many times, he persisted.

He raised his glass and everyone drank, and then he said: "The people of Song Dynasty want to attack Jiaozhi, but they don't know how serious the miasma is. We can agree verbally, but we must not follow suit, otherwise we will be doing it for Song Dynasty." The best thing to do is to sit back and watch the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi fight, beat him for decades, and then we can take advantage of the situation to strike. By then, Jiaozhi will be weak and will fall in one fell swoop!"

Everyone's eyes showed excitement, and someone asked: "But we promised to station the Song navy at the beginning, and now we refuse, isn't it bad?"

Han De said displeasedly: "It's inconvenient at this time and that time. In the future, this is the answer to Song people's questions."

"What if they really come to take revenge?"

The atmosphere immediately became a little gloomy.

Han De and the leader of the country smiled at each other and said: "The Song people have their big enemy Liao in the north, Xixia in the northwest, and Jiaozhi in front of us. Who are we? They are crazy and will send countless large ships to attack us. "

The king nodded, "But be careful of envoy Song's methods."

Han De smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord. I bought a lot of books in the Song Dynasty and saw some examples."

He said slowly: "In the Han and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains, their envoys were domineering and held their heads high. If there was resistance, dozens of them would dare to launch a subversive battle, and they would often succeed. Even one person would dare to subvert the opponent. "

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Is Zhongyuan actually so powerful?"

Han De said with a smile: "That was before. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Today's Song people don't have the bloodiness of the Han and Tang Dynasties, nor their boldness and courage. Don't worry."

The king said happily: "They will go back to ask Emperor Song for instructions. When there is a result, it will probably take a year or two. But can Jiaozhi endure it for one or two years? Li Rizun has great ambitions and will definitely take action. When the time comes, we will just watch them fight. That’s it.”

Everyone toasted and drank until noon.

At the mission station, Su Yan slept again.

After waking up, he summoned the envoys for discussion.

"Champa is no longer reliable."

Su Yan's first words made everyone frustrated.

Zhang Chi sighed and said: "The attitude of the king is very ambiguous, and it is indeed unreliable. It is better to go back and ask the court to explain this matter."

Su Yan looked at him, "The general is out there! I'm not accepting your orders!"

He looked resolute and said: "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, those predecessors traveled across foreign lands and made their enemies fearful. Now that the Song Dynasty has inherited the Central Plains, how can it be cowardly?"

Zhang Chi asked: "What do you want?"

Su Yan said: "Just imitate the old things of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

Zhang Chi said in shock: "You want to take action?"

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "Can't you?"
