Chapter 399 We are all Han Chinese
The prince of Dali served as a delegation envoy of the Song State and came to Henan to preside over the war against Mongolia, which sounded very incredible.
Shi Tianze Chuchu was full of surprise, but after careful consideration, when Guo Ziyi returned to Tang, there were also many barbarian generals under his command to make contributions to the army? The Xi people, Qiang people and other Hu people were in front of the tribe and hang seals in the Tang army while leading troops. This was also normal. When I thought about it this way, I felt relieved.
However, his impression of Dali has changed a lot. He thought that Dali was in the southwest, and a small country could be crushed to death with just one step. Unexpectedly, there were such outstanding talents and powerful army, so he underestimated it.
So after some raising, Shi Tianze raised his head, looked at Changsun Hong, and held his breath and said, "Of course I wish to live!"
"Since you are willing to live, that's all right." Changsun Hong waved his hand: "Come on, go to Lord Shi's ties and give him a seat."
Someone from left and right came forward, loosened Shi Tianze's ties, brought a bench, and asked him to sit in the middle of the lobby, with the swordsman beside him staring at him, and the intimidation remained.
Shi Tianze felt a little more at ease. He felt that this Dali man seemed to be a little easier to speak, and he was much easier to communicate than the irritable Wanyan Chengsi.
So he tidied up his clothes, sat down upright, bowed to Changsun Hong: "Sir Changsun, you and I have no selfish grudges, nor have you accumulated grudges. What he does is nothing but the country. It is a common thing to do on the battlefield. However, since I was defeated and captured, of course I am convinced. It is not wrong to send me to Song State to ask for merit and rewards, but I have something to say, please listen."
Changsun Hong smiled slightly: "Please speak with Master Shi."
Shi Tianze's mind was turning rapidly and he kept talking: "Dali and Song are not vassal states, they are equal. The Lord serves as Song officials and drives troops to fight. However, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, Dali's territory is stronger than that of Song, and it is like lying on the side of a tiger and wolf. Song's State ordered the Lord to send troops today and the Lord will collect money tomorrow. When will it be the end? Dali's mountains are beautiful, the country is rich and the people are strong, but he is driven by Song every day. Can the Lord be willing to do so?"
"Although Mongolia does not border Dali, I have admired the adults for a long time, and it is hard to see him because no one introduces him to him." Shi Tianze's face did not turn red, and his face was as usual: "Mongolia is now like the rising sun, dominating the world, while Song State is still in a daze, and the ancients said that they can see the overall situation. The adults are here to preside over the general trend, but no one can do it. It can be seen that no one in the Song State has reached this point. Which is better, Mongolia or Song State is weak? Of course, you can see. If you can contribute to Song State, why can't you make good with Mongolia?"
He stood up and bowed respectfully: "I am willing to help you to help you, and to promote peace with the Lord to Mongolia. In the future, Dali and Mongolia will become friendly countries and will never conquer!"
The words were magnificent and righteous, and they fully expressed Shi Tianze's sincere intention to consider Changsun Hong and Dali.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall became quiet and the whole hall did not say anything.
Changsun Hong looked at Shi Tianze and suddenly burst into laughter and became happy.
Pointing at Shi Tianze standing in front of him, Changsun Hong smiled to the left and right, "Look, this is a hurry, his face remains unchanged, and he is still thinking about instigating the opponent's commander at the critical moment. You all learn something in the future."
There was a relaxed laughter in the hall. The barbarians and generals on both sides looked at the awkward Shi Tianze with a smile, with a full of playful expressions, as if they were looking at a crappy clown.
Shi Tianze stood there, neither standing nor sitting, and looked left and right in a hurry.
Changsun Hong curled his smile and raised his body slightly. The laughter in the hall stopped immediately. In the quiet space, only his voice was echoing.
"Mr. Shi, if you were someone else, you might really consider your words. After all, what you said is reasonable. Mongolia is powerful and Song is weak. People can see that it is, otherwise it would not have been abandoned to you, but it would have been impossible to recover the Han area after so many tens of thousands of households in your own country."
"However, the world changes, how can you know what is going to happen today? Tomorrow?" Changsun Hong turned his head and said in a stern manner: "No matter how weak the Song Dynasty is, it is also a country of the Han people, inheriting the Yan and Huang throne. No matter how strong Mongolia is, it is also established by foreign tribes. As the saying goes, those who are not our tribe will have different hearts. Master Shi asked me to sacrifice my roots and conquer Mongolia, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?"
Shi Tianzeqiang argued himself: "The Lord is a Dali man, but not a Han man!"
Changsun Hong shook his head: "There are also Han people in Dali Country. As for me, I am indeed a Han person who is just a fake one."
He pointed his hand at Shi Tianze: "And you, Lord Shi, have been from the three generations of your ancestors, and they are also Han people. They are just living in the homeland occupied by the Liao and Jin people. But your roots and blood are all things from the Han people, and they cannot be thrown away or thrown away."
"Since Pangu created the sky, Xia and Shang countries established the country, the Han people have reproduced and survived here. The so-called Qiang and Hu people, after thousands of years, can they find traces of these barbarians?" Changsun Hong spread his hands and wrapped them out of thin air: "The sea is full of rivers, and tolerance is great. Only the Han people who can have this ability in the world. No matter how many races you have, they will be assimilated by me sooner or later. Even if you are the extremely powerful Mongolian country in your mouth, they will become part of the Han people in the future. Now let me tell me, in the long run, should I rely on Mongolia or contribute to the Song Dynasty?"
Shi Tianze did not expect that Changsun Hong would actually say this truth. He was so exhausted that he didn't know how to refute it. He turned his mind several times and didn't know how to answer. He could only argue: "Sir, we are a martial artist, look at the moment before we do things. Now Mongolia is strong and Song is weak, so we should choose the strong and follow it."
"You can't say that." Changsun Hong stretched out a finger and shook it: "Why know that relying on Mongolia is accomplice for a tiger is against my true nature? Besides, you said that Mongolia is strong and submitting to the past like a firefly attached to the bright moon. What's the future? The Song State is weak, and working for it is equivalent to making another contribution. They are also working hard. Of course, helping the Song State get more credit. Is this the truth?"
Shi Tianze shook his head: "I'm afraid that the lord will be willing to support him, but I can't defend the enemy. The military strength of the tens of thousands of households in the Han area is far inferior to that of Mongolia. The lord thought that this battle was beautiful and defeated us. However, he didn't know that once the Mongolian army arrived, it would sweep across Liuhe and fight in the eight wildernesses. Even if the lord's magical martial arts are superb, he would probably be a mantis arm to fight the chariot!"
"No one can be sure of what happened." Changsun Hong smiled and said, "I destroyed a Mongolian prince, and this is a marriage squad. It doesn't matter if I have a few more."
Destroy a prince?
Shi Tianze was suddenly shocked and said in surprise: "......... Lord, kill His Highness Kublai Khan?!"
"I don't know if I'm killing, but it's almost done." Changsun Hong shrugged.
Shi Tianze shook his head sadly and sighed: "Since that's the case, sir, don't say anything more."
