Among the Jurchens who like Hanpu, naturally there is also the nearly sixty-year-old wise woman whom Hanpu met when he was washing fish.
This wise old woman who is nearly sixty years old is not an ordinary woman. Although she is a little older, she is extremely well-maintained, like a woman in her forties or fifties, and her charm is still there.
Because he often chatted with Hanpu by the well, he fell in love with Hanpu.
During that period, the Wanyan tribe, the Hachi tribe, and the Alin tribe fought continuously, and both sides suffered casualties.
In order to take revenge, the Wanyan tribe, the Hachi tribe, the Alin tribe and other tribes with whom they had good relations all joined in the fight for revenge among the tribes.
This kind of fighting lasted for more than half a year. More people died between the tribes, and the hatred grew stronger. It couldn't stop even if it wanted to.
All the Jurchen tribes are exhausted from revenge. The key is that there are only a few Jurchens themselves. If we continue to fight like this, there will be no people left to farm and herd sheep. What future will there be?
Wanyan Maode, the chief of Wanyan tribe, was also very upset about this.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Hanpu was washing the fish and said to the wise old woman who came to wash clothes: "Old girl! Ordinarily, I am an outsider and should not discuss the rights and wrongs between you Jurchens. But you Jurchens are really stupid, you make things that are originally very simple seem complicated, and make them more and more complicated, so that you end up fighting over trivial matters."
Hearing this, the old wise woman thought deeply and said, "That's right! What's the point of fighting and killing all day long? Brother, since you mentioned this matter, let me ask you, In my opinion, how should we Jurchens get along with each other? How should we resolve our conflicts?"
Hanpu smiled when he heard this and said: "Old girl, if I don't tell you, this is really not a matter that you, a woman, can handle; to solve this matter, you have to be someone who can speak effectively."
The old wise woman raised her head, looked at Han Pu and asked, "Brother, who can speak to me?"
When Hanpu asked, he smiled again and said calmly: "Look, I just said it. This is not something that you, a woman, can handle. You said that in our Wanyan tribe, who can say anything?"
The old wise woman replied: "Of course it is Chief Wanyan!"
Wanyan said: "Isn't that right! If you don't even know this, how can I tell you?!"
The old wise woman looked at Han Pu and asked doubtfully: "Brother, do you mean that we need Chief Wanyan to come forward? Even if Chief Wanyan comes forward, is it still not a fight? What can be done!"
Hearing this, Hanpu said: "Old girl made a mistake again. She did not want Chief Wanyan to come forward to fight. She wanted Chief Wanyan to come forward to invite me and ask me for advice. I will naturally have a way to stop you Jurchens from fighting at every turn. , The head was beaten to a bloody pulp, and the person’s brain was damaged like a dog’s.”
When the old wise woman heard this, she was still puzzled.
Han Pu continued: "Old girl, I want you to give a message to Chief Wanyan, saying that the old man from Korea is a wise old man, and he has a way to stop other tribes from coming to fight. From now on, the Yan tribe and the Wanyan tribe can farm and graze in peace and contentment, and have children and raise children.”
The old wise woman has never married or raised children in her life, and she has a strong desire for this. The old wise woman was getting older, and she also liked Hanpu, an old man from Korea, and thought that this old man could be successful. Maybe this old man could marry her in the future.
Therefore, after listening to Hanpu's words, the old wise woman thought to herself, what a great thing it would be if this could be done! Since there is such a good thing, I will tell Chief Wanyan about it. By helping this old man, maybe I am helping myself!
After the old wise woman thought about it, she packed up the clothes to be washed, poured water in the basin, put the clothes in the basin, picked them up and walked back.
When Hanpu saw this, he knew that the old wise woman wanted to tell the chief what she wanted to say, but he pretended to ask: "Old sister, why did you leave in such a hurry? Let's chat for a while!"
"What are you talking about?" the old wise woman replied: "I have to go to the chief in a hurry and tell the chief what you just said."
Hanpu said hypocritically: "Isn't this good? It seems like I am boasting."
The old wise woman doesn't care whether Hanpu boasts or not. She only thinks about how beautiful it would be to stop fighting among the tribes, to be able to farm and herd in peace, to love men and women, and to have children. .
The old wise woman turned around and left while carrying the clothes to be washed.
After a while, the old wise woman returned to her residence, put down the clothes to be washed, and came to the courtyard of Wanyan Maode's house. When she saw Wanyan Maode, she told Wanyan Maode what Han Pu said.
Wanyan Maode was worried about the fight with the Hachi tribe and the Alin tribe. After hearing what the old fairy said, he was tempted.
Before that, Wanyan Maode had also met Hanpu. Wanyan met the old man from Korea. He was kind-hearted, eloquent, and intelligent, and he liked him in his heart. However, due to his status as a chief, he did not reveal his preference.
Now, after listening to the words of the old wise woman, Wanyan thought to himself that the old man came from Korea and was quite old. He must be a talented, virtuous, mature and steady man. Since he has a way To solve the endless battles between our Jurchen tribes, I might as well invite him to chat with us to see if he has any good methods to solve the endless battles between our Jurchen tribes? If the old man really has a good way to solve this troublesome matter, that would be great, and it would save a lot of things.
Thinking of this, Wanyan felt happy in his heart. On the surface, he sent the old wise woman away without saying a word. However, he was not ashamed to ask questions and went to Hanpu's residence in person. He found Hanpu and respectfully invited Hanpu there. At home, I respectfully moved to the guest seat and invited old Hanpu to eat mutton and drink milk tea, and then hesitantly told Hanpu his troubles intermittently.
Hanpu was eating mutton and drinking milk tea while listening to Wanyan's talk.
Hanpu already knew Wanyan Baode's thoughts as well as the palm of his hand.
Seeing Wan Yanmao's head drooping with worry, Han Pu felt proud in his heart. He thought, isn't it just a matter like this? Why bother to use hands and feet when things can be solved with just words? It’s totally unnecessary!
Hanpu sat steadily, eating mutton and drinking milk tea. He waited until Wanyan had finished talking about his things and worries and made them clear. Then he said calmly: "Dear Chief, Hanpu is How can a foreigner who has fallen here be so virtuous that the chief treats him so highly? Hanpu is really frightened!"
Wanyan bravely replied: "The old gentleman is being humble. The old gentleman is different from others in that he is a talented and virtuous person. People who are virtuous and talented should be treated favorably."
Hearing this, Hanpu said: "Thank you very much, chief. As for what the chief just said, leave it to me, chief. I promise to handle it for you, and I promise not to cause any further disputes between your tribes." The endless vendetta continues."
When the chief of the Wanyan tribe heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! Old sir, if you can take care of this matter, there happens to be a sixty-year-old wise woman in our tribe. I will marry you and allow you to marry into the Wanyan tribe, change your surname to Wanyan, and become a member of our Wanyan tribe."
Hanpu thought to himself, I have known that wise old woman for a long time. At my age, if I want to marry again, it will probably be her. Besides, joining the Wanyan tribe is also the purpose of my trip. Needless to say, this of.
After listening to Wanyan Maode's words, Hanpu was secretly happy and said: "Honorable Chief, do you mean what you said? Don't make a big cake to coax the beggars and let the old man enjoy it for nothing."
Wanyan looked at Hanpu bravely and replied seriously: "What kind of words are these! Listening to the old gentleman's words, it seems that I always talk empty words, how can my words not count? Old sir, don't worry about this, I Keep your word, I will never draw a horse on the wall to trick you into riding it, you just go and do the work, as long as you get this done, I will immediately do the things I promised you."
Hanpu smiled and said: "Dear chief, don't let me dream about marrying a wife."
Wanyan smiled when he heard this and said, "I'm not asking you, old man, to dream about marrying a wife. I'm asking you, old man, to have sweet dreams every day after you marry a wife."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Han Pu said: "Keep your word?!"
Wanyan bravely replied: "It's a deal!"
Han Pu said: "Okay, let's give a high five!"
Wanyan Maode also said: "Just give me a high-five. Anyway, I keep my word and I don't intend to change my mind."
The two of them then stretched out their right hands and slapped their hands hard with a "pop" sound.
Hanpu knew the Jurchens' temperament; as long as the two sides high-fived, the matter would be settled.
In fact, if we talk about the roots, Hanpu himself is a Jurchen. His ancestors went to Goryeo to start a business. By Hanpu's generation, he has stayed in Goryeo for four or five generations. He only returned from Goryeo to avoid vendetta. Arriving at the territory of the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchen tribe.
The reason why Hanpu dared to agree to Wanyan Maode was because he had confidence in himself.
Hanpu thought to himself, mediating and making peace is my strength! If I hadn't had the ability to talk, I would have been killed by my enemies long ago. How could I have lived to be sixty years old now? !
Hanpu and the chief of the Wanyan tribe had a pleasant conversation. After they had had enough wine and food, they stood up to say goodbye.
Wanyan boldly kept sending Hanpu out of the tent, repeatedly telling Hanpu to take the matter of mediating tribal disputes seriously and hurry up.
That's natural! Hanpu thought to himself, I need to hurry up, I also want to marry that old wise woman from your Wanyan tribe as soon as possible!
Hanpu was happy and returned to his residence. After making some preparations, he went to other tribes alone to lobby the leaders of each tribe to resolve the endless battles among the Jurchens.
