Yelu Dashi, who returned to the land of Songzhou, stayed behind closed doors all day long. He locked himself in his room and meditated secretly. He looked at the poems left by Xiao Ta Buyan and copied them over and over again.
Yelu Dashi, who was born in Shangjing City of Daliao and grew up in Nanjing City, especially when he lived under Xiao Feng, the king of Nanyuan, for seven or eight years, was deeply influenced by the habits Xiao Feng brought from the Song Dynasty, so he also wrote. A good word, familiar with Han history and military literature.
Ever since he met Xiao Pu Xian Nu, Xiao Pu Xian Nu unexpectedly left without saying goodbye, which also caused Xiao Ta Bu Yan to leave his hometown. Yelu Dashi started to get drunk and paralyzed himself all day long.
However, wine and poetry have always been inseparable since ancient times. Therefore, after drinking, Yelu Dashi often recited the poetry of Han people such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Dongpo, as well as the masterpieces of Xiao Guanyin, the Khitan sage of the Liao Dynasty.
In the past three years, the bitter cold land of Songzhou in the north has begun to become more peaceful with the help of his tribes Xiao Hanlila, Yelushun, Xiao Hai, Xiaoshan, Xiao Tongli, Xiaojia, Murong'an, Uruguay, and Urabde. The army is strong and the people are rich.
The 108 prisoners and the 30,000 tribesmen who came from the Hun Tong River have become one, and they love Yelu Dashi and other Songzhou generals. The Mongols, Khitans, and women from a hundred miles away No real person dares to underestimate Songzhou Prefecture, which has tens of thousands of tribes and thousands of warriors.
However, three years later, he still said that he would never forget Xiao Pu Xiannu and Xiao Ta Buyan in his heart. Xiao Hanli looked at such a persistent lord, shook his head repeatedly and said to himself:
"Alas, why bother? There are so many beauties in the world, and the person you miss has already become someone else's bed partner, so why torture yourself like this?"
Hearing what Xiao Hanli said, Yelushun on the side also sighed and said:
"Yes, although the Daliao Dynasty seems to be peaceful, in fact, there are undercurrents. The incident between Lord Yelu Dashi and the wise daughter Xiao Pu made me understand a truth."
After Yelushun finished speaking, Xiao Hanli couldn't help laughing, teasing Yelushun and saying:
"Oh, brother Yelushun, you are a rough man from the mountains, you don't know a few Chinese characters, but you still understand the truth, please tell me."
Yelushun breathed a long sigh of relief and said unhurriedly:
"Without strong strength, you can't even protect your own woman. How can you live in peace and contentment, or stay together forever. Therefore, if you want to keep yourself, your family, and your loved one together, in this troubled time, you must be strong only It is possible only if we have it, otherwise we will be like Xiao Haili and can only become someone else's prey."
After Yelushun finished speaking, Xiao Hanli, who was still teasing him, was shocked. He immediately bowed deeply to Yelushun and said politely:
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. I didn't expect that brother Yelushun has such insight. It's really admirable. I just don't know how you view this general trend of the world."
After Xiao Hanli finished speaking, the sound of laughter suddenly came from behind. The two turned around and saw that it was the old man Xiao Shan. After he laughed, he said:
"My two nephews are so enthusiastic, so thoughtful, and have such foresight. I really admire them."
"Hahaha, I made Mr. Xiao laugh. I, Ye Lushun, have a humble opinion and I would like to ask Mr. Xiao for some advice."
After Yelushun finished speaking, Xiao Hanli looked at the confident Xiao Shan affectionately. After a moment, Xiao Shan sighed and said:
"The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and it will unite for a long time. Our Daliao Dynasty has experienced two hundred years of peace and prosperity, and the people have been able to live and work in peace and contentment. But because of this, it has also brought many disadvantages to our Daliao Dynasty, resulting in the emperor not being in power, and the civil and military affairs of the dynasty Coveted for pleasure, a million-strong army only knows how to oppress the people and has no fighting power."
"Therefore, if things continue like this, we, the Liao Dynasty, will be in trouble. Now, inside, there is Xiao Fengxian who is playing tricks on both sides to deceive the Lord, and there are also thirty-six Jurchen tribes who are ready to take action; outside, there are the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty who are eyeing. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, we will The Liao Dynasty will start war again and fall apart."
After old man Xiaoshan finished speaking, Yelushun and Xiao Hanli nodded repeatedly and asked in confusion:
"Uncle Xiao, my Songzhou land is located in the north and is bitterly cold. Since ancient times, it has been the place where prisoners of the imperial court were exiled. I should not be implicated in the war."
After the two of them finished speaking worriedly, Xiao Shan shook his head repeatedly, glanced at the mountains and dense forests in the distance, and continued after a moment:
"I, Xiaoshan, have read countless people, and I have accurately calculated the endings of Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Academy, Xiao Haili, the emperor's confidant, Xiao Guanyin, the first generation queen, and Yelu Jun, the wise prince. I have never made a mistake in my calculations."
"Therefore, more than ten years ago, I said successively that Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Yelu Chun, including our Songzhou governor Yelu Dashi and Xiaota Buyan, are all very wealthy and noble people. I I remember that Master Yelu Dashi once said that there are so many rich and powerful people in this world, and he also laughed at me for talking nonsense."
"But, why am I talking nonsense?"
Old man Xiaoshan didn't continue after talking for a long time. Xiao Hanli La and Ye Lushun wanted to get to the bottom of the problem and kept asking. Seeing that old man Xiao Shan didn't speak, Xiao Han Li La asked directly:
"Old man Xiaoshan, you mean that our Daliao Dynasty will cause chaos in the world and a group of heroes will compete for hegemony."
Old man Xiaoshan shook his head repeatedly and left slowly with his hands behind his back, saying as he walked:
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there are no two suns in the world. If there are too many wealthy people, it will be the masses fighting for hegemony, and the world will be in chaos."
At this moment, Xiao Hanli asked anxiously with a confused look on his face:
"Old man Xiaoshan, what do you think will happen to our Songzhou governor Yelu Dashi?"
Xiao Han asked harshly, but old man Xiaoshan ignored him as he left alone. However, a moment later, his old voice came from the room, and the pit general said forcefully:
"A tragic hero has a rough life."
"It is difficult to be wise in life, and you will experience all three tragedies; traveling thousands of miles may be difficult, but if you succeed, you will be famous forever."
"Xiao Hanli, Yelu Shun, this is the life of Yelu Dashi, the governor of Songzhou whom you admire. That's all I know, hahaha."
After the old man Xiaoshan in the room finished speaking, Xiao Hanli looked at the confused Yelushun. After pondering for a moment, the two of them still didn't understand why, so they had to leave.
After that, Xiao Hanli locked himself in his room, reading books and studying scriptures all day long, in order to understand the meaning of old man Xiaoshan.
However, he had read many historical allusions and could not understand the meaning of the poem. On this day, he slowly opened the door of Yelu Dashi's room and looked at Yelu Dashi who was reading a book. Yelu Dashi who slowly raised his head couldn't help but said:
"Yue, Xiao Hanli, come here so late, do you have any undecided matters?"
"Hahaha, no. Sir, I just saw that you have been studying poetry and books for a long time. I was also deeply affected. I also read the Han Dynasty and the history of the Liao Dynasty. I have something unclear, and I am here to ask for advice."
"Hahaha, it turns out that Xiao Hanli, who only knows how to wield swords and guns, has also started to read and read. This is a good thing. Tell me, if you have anything unclear, you need to come to me for advice."
"It's like this. I heard old man Xiaoshan talk about the three major tragedies. Therefore, I read a lot of books and allusions, but I still don't understand what the three major tragedies are, so I wanted to ask you."
After Xiao Hanli finished speaking, Yelu Dashi suddenly became interested and immediately stood up and said slowly:
"One of the three major tragedies is to be in a small cell, which means to be in jail. The labor prison system in the Liao Dynasty is not yet complete, but in the Song Dynasty in the south, the labor prison system has become the state's punishment for prisoners. The most important tool is also the strategy for the long-term stability of the country. Therefore, the meaning of the three major tragedies in life is to sit in a small cell and taste the pain of being in a prison."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Xiao Hanli was shocked. Before he could recover, Yelu Dashi continued to talk and continued:
"The second of the three great tragedies in life is to dig a cellar, which is equivalent to being a slave in the Liao Dynasty. It means suffering from slavery, building walls, tombs, etc. for the court. If you are not careful, you will die. ".
"As for the third of the three major tragedies in life, it is the shameful and humiliating cuckolding of a man. It means that his wife has sex with other men behind his back, but he knows nothing about it."
"In other words, I watch helplessly as other men force their wives to have sex with their wives, but there is nothing I can do about it."
After finishing speaking, Yelu Dashi couldn't help laughing, but Xiao Hanli was hesitating for a long time, unable to say anything.
After the two looked at each other for a while, they saw that Yelu Dashi looked calm, but Xiao Hanli stabbed him as if he had a guilty conscience, so they had no choice but to leave secretly.
