Yang Gun was transferred to Heianjing with the letter of state, and was also treated with the reception courtesy of Japanese officials, but failed to receive attention.Some officials came to visit and talk, all of which were vague and perfunctory.
He suddenly felt that this trip was not easy.
Half a month later, another visitor came to the hotel, but it was just a letter brought by a servant.
Yang Gun expanded and saw it in clear Chinese characters. He claimed that he was a Japanese senator Ono and wanted to invite Yang Gun, the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty, to taste tea at the temple where he lives.
Fortunately, Yang Gun had been dealing with Youzhou South Court and Northern Han Kingdom for a long time and could understand Chinese characters, otherwise the letter would have to be translated.
Yang Gun was not familiar with the place in Heianjing and was worried that he had no way out. As long as there were Japanese officials who were willing to make friends, he had no reason to refuse.
He glanced at the servant with the letter, with a short knife on his waist, no hat, and a bun on his head, which looked like a Han Chinese outfit.He asked casually: Why does Linggong live in a temple?
The servant said in Chinese: Ono is proficient in battle formations and chants, and is also very good at practicing Buddhism. He always lives in temples.
Yang Gun nodded, please lead the way.
In a foreign country, Yang Gun only brought two followers, and a group of four rode out of the city. When they reached a mountain, they had to leave one person to watch the horse and abandon the horse and climb the mountain.
The winding and steep earth and rock path in the mountains soon made Yang Gun feel quite difficult.
After walking for nearly half an hour, I saw the eaves of the temple in the lush forests.
At this time, Yang Gun was exhausted and panting and dizzy. If he hadn't seen the roof of the house, he would have been a little unable to hold on.
Yang Gun is also a martial artist, but in the northern grasslands, he rarely climbs such a long mountain road.
Twist twist... The sound of the wooden fish hitting and the chanting of Japanese scriptures that I couldn't understand was vague. Yang Gun felt that his head was ischemia and had long lost any interest in appreciation.
The Japanese servant stretched out his arm holding the short knife, blocked the follower behind Yang Gun, and bowed to the door of the temple in front.Yang Gun panted and said to his follower: Just wait for me here.
He walked in the direction alone, let out a long sigh, so tired that he wanted to sit down and rest immediately.
At this moment, Yang Gun noticed someone kneeling behind him. He hurriedly turned around and saw a woman wearing a dress with a pillow on her back, wiping the mud marks on the floor with a towel. He looked down and saw that the boots were full of mud, and the ground in the temple hall was spotless.
Yang Gun took off his boots calmly.
After a while, a thin and a little short bald middle-aged man walked out and bowed: The guest must be Yang Jun, the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty. I have invited Yang Jun to Ono Haogu.Please take your seat soon.
Yang Gun calmed down and pressed his hands on his chest to the man. Then he walked to a coffee table and saw a cushion, so he sat down on the cushion cross-legged.
He took off his hat and immediately showed his bald hair.
Maybe the Japanese man thought he was weird, but Yang Gun also thought this guy was strange. He was shaved as a monk, but he was also a military general. There was also a woman in dresses in the temple...
Ono Yogu smiled and said: When the Khitans in the Great Liao Dynasty did not speak when they met and held rituals?
Yang Gun said: When the Han people greet each other, we just need to bow to show respect for the master.
Ono Yoko nodded: People from different places have different customs, so we have to gradually understand.
Yang Gun thought for a while and responded: I am Yang Gun.
After hearing this, Ono Haogu suddenly laughed again and said: So, Mr. Yang has come to Heianjing thousands of miles away to help us resist the attack of the Central Plains?
Yang Gun said calmly: It was entrusted by the Emperor of the Great Liao and the Privy Councillor Xiao Gong, who came for this matter.I don’t know if Mr. Ono heard about the major events in Middle-earth. Shu, Tang, Southern Han, Eastern Han, Dangxiang Pingxia, and Great Liao Youzhou have been occupied by Xu. Xu Guo Shao is ambitious to expand and advance, and Great Liao is deeply threatened.
Now the Liao Dynasty has received the exact news that Guo Shao is preparing to invade East Island in order to make military expenditure for the Japanese silver mine.If the Japanese country could resist the attack of the Xu army, it would also have a great effect on the Great Liao.
Yogu Ono did not refute immediately and echoed: It seems reasonable for Mr. Yang to say this.
Yang Gun hurriedly said: There are Han craftsmen in Shangjing and Bohai in the Great Liao Dynasty. They can help your country refine silver. Your country will become richer by relying on the silver mountain. Our country can also help Japanese soldiers understand and respond to Xu's tactics...
Yogu Ono suddenly changed his polite and humble disguise and interrupted Yang Gun a little unceremoniously: The Liao court’s intention is to form an alliance between the two countries and jointly deal with your powerful enemy Xu Guo?
Yang Gun was stunned and a sense of anger came up inexplicably!
This Japanese seems humble on the surface, but in fact he is very arrogant!He looked down on his own. Is the great Liao Dynasty so arrogant to deal with Xu Guo, and to form an alliance with Dongdao and use their power?
Yang Gun said coldly: Ono Gong may have misunderstood someone’s meaning.The Liao court took the initiative to provide help to your country, which was actually a concern for itself, but the one that really had an urgent need was not the Liao Dynasty, but the Guizhou country!I advised the Japanese monarch and ministers to prepare for an early military service, otherwise the matter would come to an end. Could it be that the wind would be surrendered?
After hearing this, Ono Haogu's face looked very bad. He took a deep breath and said: Yang Jun probably misunderstood Yamato people.
oh?Yang Gun looked at him with great interest.
Ono Yoshino Ancient Talk: Our favorite thing is cherry blossoms... Unfortunately, Yang Jun came by, and the wonderful cherry blossoms had withered at this time.It is really hard to happen if you want to appreciate this thing. Its flowering period is very short and it witheres and flies when it is most beautiful.
He looked stern and said in awkward Chinese words: You can only break your jade, but you don’t want to be full!It is the honor of Yamato people to die for the god Amaterasu and His Majesty!
After hearing a long speech, Yang Gun's anger subsided a little. He remembered that he had encountered obstacles everywhere in Ping'anjing, and offending this person was not the best strategy.
He changed his words: I heard the song of Ono Koshima, and he is a poet.The poet always has some sincerity.
Sure enough, Ono Haogu was very helpful. He knelt on the cushion, leaned forward, bowed slightly to Yang Gun, and his tone became much calmer: He had no feelings and could not write a good song.
As he spoke, he raised his throat and suddenly started singing. Yang Gun was almost amused, but he couldn't laugh because Ono's face was serious and he didn't look like he was joking at all.
Yang Gun was amused and laughed and sat there in shock.
Just then, a woman came with tea.
Ono Yoko gently slapped his palm, sniffed it, then sat upright and closed his eyes and looked intoxicated. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and smiled: Tea fragrance... flowing water, cherry blossoms, grass and tree, all have Tao and Buddhism. Yamato people understand the original intention of Amazawa Taishen from all things.
Yang Gun said nothing. How could Taoism and Buddhism be mixed together?
Did the Amaterasuta God in his mouth make friends with the Buddha, and could he drink tea together like the two of them at this time?
Anyway, Yang Gun was confused when he heard this. The temples in the mountains and forests and the people on the distant islands seemed familiar, somewhat similar to the Han people, but also mysterious and elusive.
Yang Gun thinks Ono is so old and pays attention to tea ceremony, but it is a bit different from the style of drinking tea by Han people.
In Yang Gun's feelings, the etiquette and culture of the Japanese seemed a bit artificial, but it was very clear in deliberate; and Yang Gun had also seen various Han people, and the feeling that the Han people gave him was more natural and thick, as if a sentence was loud and loud, simple but very open-minded, and not deliberately... It is probably that Confucian things were spontaneous by Han people, so they were not artificial.
When the woman poured tea in a small cup, Yang Gun did not drink it all in one gulp... If it were a Khitan, she would like to cook cattle and goat milk and tea leaves together and drink it in a large bowl.
However, Yang Gun was knowledgeable after all, so he didn't act in public. He just took a sip and tasted the tea flavor, which was a bit bitter and didn't think it was very delicious.
Yang Gun said: It is not a false statement that my envoy came here this time.Wan Wang, your country will send people to inquire from many sources. If you believe this news, Ono can send someone to inform me at any time.
Ono Yogu nodded and said: If Yang Jun comes to visit the door next time, I would like to talk to Yang Jun about Xu Jun’s equipment and tactics.After he said that, he pondered for a moment, and repeated the previous sentence in a very interesting attitude. People from different places have different customs, and we must gradually understand, including the enemy.
Yang Gun felt that the conversation was about ending, so he got up, bowed and held the tribute, and took off to put on his shoes.
He turned around and thought about the last sentence of Ono Yoko just now. Maybe Ono Yoko felt that the same sentence had two meanings and said it twice, so he felt that it was very wise?
Anyway, this guy is very strange. Since he is a martial artist, why are you doing art?
poet!A sneer appeared on the corner of Yang Gun's mouth.
Anyway, today's trip is not very pleasant, because he has to walk the difficult mountain road again when he returns.It is still difficult to walk down the mountain with a steep mountain road, and it is impossible to go fast or slow.
However, this was not a pleasant journey, but it made him feel that there had been substantial progress.
When Yang Gun returned to the temple, he recalled the situation of the Battle of Pingxia, and asked someone to polish the ink and rush to describe it. He also drew pictures and roughly depicted the cannons and guns used by Xu Jun.
In addition, there are also equipment and tactics used by Xu Jun, such as plate armor, cherry guns, barrier knives, crossbows, and shuttle guns, with pictures and texts, and detailed descriptions.
Yang Gun hoped that Ono Haogu would have some knowledge of military formations in addition to drinking tea and writing poetry... If so, he would definitely be afraid and attached to Xu Jun.
Yang Gun also wrote that the Xu State imperial guards were its main force, with elite troops in a hundred battles, skilled in weapons and battle formations, and were honest in military discipline and fearless in death.
It is roughly similar to the recruiting system of soldiers in the Long March of the Tang Dynasty. It does not farm or manage, but only trains troops to fight.
As soon as he arrived in Heianjing, he realized that if the Japanese country was rumored, it should be accustomed to the Tang Dynasty. He should be familiar with some of the military systems of the Tang army in the past, so there is such a comparison.
Yang Gun finished writing it three days later, revised it again, called his followers to copy it, and then sent it to the temple on the mountain to present it to the Japanese Senator Ono Yogu.
He suddenly felt that this trip was not easy.
Half a month later, another visitor came to the hotel, but it was just a letter brought by a servant.
Yang Gun expanded and saw it in clear Chinese characters. He claimed that he was a Japanese senator Ono and wanted to invite Yang Gun, the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty, to taste tea at the temple where he lives.
