Yang Dagon moved to Ping An Beijing with the letter of the country, and was also received courtesy by Japanese officials, but he failed to get attention. Some officials came to visit and talked about it, all of which were vague and perfunctory.
He felt that this trip was not easy.
Half a month later, another visitor came to the hall, but it was a letter brought by a servant. Yang Dagon took a look and found that it was written in clear Chinese characters. He claimed that the Japanese imperial court participated in Ono Haogu, and wanted to invite Daliao envoy Yang Dang to the temple where he lived to drink tea.
Fortunately, Yang Dagon used to deal with Youzhou South Campus and Northern Han Dynasty for a long time, and could understand Chinese characters, otherwise this letter would have to be translated.
Yang Dagon was unfamiliar in Ping'anjing, and there was no way out for Zhengshou. As long as there is a Japanese official who is willing to make friends, he definitely has no reason to refuse.
He glanced at the servant with a letter, with a short knife slung around his waist, no hat, and a bun on his head. He looked like a man. He asked casually: "Why does Ling Gong live in the temple?"
The servant said in Chinese: "Ono-kun is proficient in battle formations and Japanese songs, and he is also very good at Dharma training. He often lives in temples."
Yang Dagon nodded, "Please lead the way."
In a foreign country, Yang Dagon took only two entourages. A group of four people rode out of the city, and when they reached a mountain, they had to leave one person watching the horse and abandoning the horse to climb the mountain. The winding and steep earth-rock path in the mountains soon made Yang Dagon quite difficult.
After walking for nearly half an hour, I saw the temple eaves in the lush forest. At this time, Yang Dagon was out of breath, and his head was dizzy. If he hadn't seen the roof of the house, he really couldn't hold on. Yang Dagon is also a martial artist, but in the northern grasslands, he seldom climbs such a long mountain road.
"True..." Muyu's percussion and unintelligible chanting of Japanese scriptures were hazy. Yang Dagon only felt his head ischemia, and he had already lost any interest in appreciation.
The Japanese servant stretched out his arm with a short knife, blocking the entourage behind Yang Dagon, and bowed and pointed at the door of the temple in front. Yang Dagon gasped and said to his entourage: "You can wait for me here."
He walked in the direction alone, took a long sigh, too tired to sit down and take a breath.
At this moment, Yang Dagon noticed that someone was kneeling behind him. He hurriedly looked back and saw a woman in a dress and a pillow was wiping the mud marks on the floor with a towel. He looked down, boots The floor is full of mud, and the floor of the temple hall is spotless.
Yang Dagon took off his boots quietly.
After a while, a thin face, a little short stature, a middle-aged bald middle-aged man walked out and bowed: "The distinguished guest must be Jun Yang, the envoy of the Liao Dynasty. I am Xiaoye Kogu who invited Yang Jun. Please take a seat."
Yang Dagon calmed down, pressed his hands on his chest, and bowed to the man. Then he walked to a coffee table, saw a futon, and sat down on the futon with his legs crossed. He took off his hat, and his bald hair was immediately exposed.
Perhaps this Japanese man thinks he is weird, but Yang Dagon also thinks this servant is strange. He shaved his head as a monk, but he is a military commander. There are women in dresses in the temple...
Xiao Ye Haogu smiled and said: "Dahliao Khitan people don't talk when they meet and hold a ceremony?"
Yang Dagon said: "Han'er will be greeting each other, we only need to bow to show respect for the master."
Xiao Ye Haogu nodded: "People from different places have different customs, we have to gradually understand."
Yang Dagon pondered a little, and responded: "I am Yang Dagon."
After hearing this, Xiao Ye Hao Gu suddenly laughed again and said: "Then Jun Yang came to Ping An Jing not far away thousands of miles this time to help us resist the attack of the Central Plains?"
Yang Dagon said calmly: "A certain person was entrusted by the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty and the Privy Envoy Xiao Gong of the North Court, and it was precisely for this reason. I do not know whether Gong Xiaoye knew about the events in China, Shu, Tang, Southern Han, In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dang Pingxia and Youzhou of Daliao have been occupied by Xu Guo; the master of Xu Guo Shao is ambitious to expand and enterprising, and Daliao has been deeply threatened.
Now that Daliao has got the exact news, Guo Shao is planning to invade the East Island for military expenses for his country’s silver mines. If Japan can withstand the Xu army's attack, it will also have a significant effect on Daliao. "
Xiao Ye Haogu did not immediately refute, and echoed: "Yang Jun said so, it seems reasonable."
Yang Dagon said hurriedly: "Daliao went to Beijing, and Bohai has Han'er craftsmen, who can help your country to refine silver. Your country will be more prosperous by relying on Yinshan; my country can also help Japanese soldiers understand and respond to Xu's military warfare. ……"
Xiao Ye Haogu suddenly changed his polite and humble disguise, and interrupted Yang Dagon a bit rudely: "The intention of the Daliao court is that the two countries form an alliance to deal with your powerful enemy Xu Guo?"
Yang Dagon was taken aback for a moment, and an inexplicable anger came up in his heart!
The native people seem to be humble on the surface, but they are actually very arrogant! He also valued his own family too much. The dignified Liao was just to deal with Xu Guo, guilty of making an alliance with Dongdao and using their power?
Yang Dagon said coldly: "Duke Xiaoye might have misunderstood what a certain meant. The Daliao court took the initiative to provide help to your country, and it was really thoughtful for itself, but the real urgent need is not Daliao, but Guibang! Advise the monarchs and ministers of their own country to prepare armaments early, otherwise, will they come down with the wind?"
Ono's face looks very unsightly even after listening to it. He took a deep breath and said: "Yang Jun might have misunderstood the Yamato people."
"Oh?" Yang Dagon looked at him with interest.
Ono’s good old saying: "Our favorite thing is the cherry blossoms...Unfortunately, Yang Jun came, and the wonderful cherry blossoms have withered at this time. It is really hard to happen to appreciate this thing. Its flowering period is very short. At the most beautiful time, Then it fades and flies."
He looked terrified and said in jerky Chinese: "You can only break jade, don't want it to be complete! It is the honor of Yamato to die for the Amaterasu Taishen and His Majesty the Emperor!"
After listening to the long talk, Yang Dagon's anger also faded a little. He remembered that he had run into walls in Pingjing, and it was not the best policy to offend this person. Now he changed his mouth and said: "Mouwen Ono Koshinwa is a poet. Poets always have a little heart out of sincerity."
Sure enough, Ono was very useful. He knelt on the futon, leaned forward, bowed slightly to Yang Dagon, and calmed down a lot: "He has no feelings and can't write good Japanese songs."
As he was talking, he raised his throat and sang "Wow!" Yang Dagon was almost amused, but he couldn't laugh because the look on Xiaoye Kogu's face was serious and he didn't make a joke. Look like. Yang Dagon couldn't laugh or cry, and sat there in shock.
Just then, a woman came with tea. Ono Kogu took a flick of the palm of his hand, sniffed, and then sat upright and closed his eyes intoxicated, and opened his eyes and smiled: "The fragrance of tea...flowing water, cherry blossoms, plants and trees, there are Taoism and Buddhism. , The people of Yamato understand Amaterasu's original intention from all things."
Yang Dagon didn't say a word. How could Dao and Dharma mix? The Amaterasu Taishen and Buddha in his mouth have friendship, and can they drink tea together like the two at this time? Anyway, Yang Dagon was confused. The temples in the mountains and forests, as well as the people on the remote islands, seemed familiar, somewhat similar to Han'er, but mysterious and elusive.
Yang Dagon thinks Xiaoye Haogu is very particular about the tea ceremony, but his style of drinking tea is somewhat different from that of Han'er. In Yang Dagon’s feelings, Japanese etiquette and culture seem to be a little artificial, but deliberately very distinct; and Yang Dagon has also seen all kinds of Haner, and the feeling that Haner gave him is more natural and thick, as if a sentence is big. Yin Xisheng, simple but very open-minded, not deliberately...About Confucianism and the like are spontaneous, so they are not artificial.
When the woman poured the tea in the small cup, Yang Dang didn't drink it all in one gulp... If it is a Khitan, he likes to boil the cow and goat milk and tea together and drink it in a big bowl. However, Yang Dagon was knowledgeable after all, and he didn't mess around in public. He just took a sip and tasted the tea. It was a bit bitter and not delicious.
Yang Dagon said: "This envoy is here. It is by no means a false statement. Hope your country sends people to look around. If you believe this news, Duke Ono can send someone to inform the envoy at any time."
Xiao Ye Haogu nodded and said: "Next time Jun Yang comes to the door, I would like to talk to Jun Yang about Xu Jun's equipment and tactics." After he said, he pondered for a moment, and then repeated the previous sentence in a consciously interesting gesture. , "People from different places have different customs, we have to gradually understand, including the enemy."
Yang Dagon felt that the conversation was over, so he got up and bowed to his chest, then retired and put on his shoes.
He turned around to ponder the last sentence of Ono Kogu just now. Maybe Ono Kogu thinks that the same sentence has two meanings twice, so he thinks it is very wise? Anyway, this guy is very peculiar. Since it is a taker, what is arty doing?
Poet! A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Dagon's mouth.
Anyway, today’s trip is hardly pleasant, because he has to walk the difficult mountain road again when he returns. Steep mountain roads are still difficult to walk down the mountain, neither fast nor slow.
But this unpleasant line made him feel that he had made substantial progress. When Yang Dagon returned to the hotel, he immediately recalled the situation of the Pingxia War, and asked someone to grind the ink, and hurried to describe it; he also drew a picture, roughly drew the artillery gun used by Xu Jun.
In addition, there are also equipment and tactics used by the Xu army, such as plate armor, cherry spear, barrier knife, crossbow, and shuttle spear, which are described in detail. Yang Gong hoped that Xiaoye Haogu could not only drink tea and write poems, but also have some military knowledge... If so, he would definitely fear and value Xu Jun.
Yang Dagon also wrote that Xu's Forbidden Army is its main force, with a hundred battles of elite soldiers, skilled weapons, awe-inspiring military discipline, and fear of death. It is roughly similar to the "Long March Athletes" recruiting system in the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as he arrived in Ping An Jing, he realized that his country's fruit was rumored to be the style of the Tang Dynasty, and he should be familiar with some of the military systems of the Tang army in the past, so there is an analogy.
Yang Dagon finished writing three days later, revised it again, called his entourage to copy, and then sent it to the temple on the mountain to dedicate it to Japanese Counsellor Ono Koko.
