Grace Yue's Silent Strength: The Pillar of Henry Yuan's Guar Chapter 320
A letter written by Ethan Feng was sent by five messengers at different times and along different routes to Datong Prefecture to bring help in case anyone was arrested along the way.
Simon Yan also followed his example and found five messengers to send two letters, one to Shen Hexuan and one to Chen Yu, but the contents of the two letters were the same.
Unlike the earnest exhortation in his first letter to Shen Hexuan, in this letter, he only quoted a passage from Chen Runeng of the Southern Song Dynasty: The capital of Yao, the land of Shun, the fief of Yu. There should be one or two shameful ministers in it! The land is so stinking, where are the heroes of the ages, when will the majestic world be clear? Why ask about the destiny of the barbarians, the bright sun is in the middle!
This was a farewell speech that Chen Runeng wrote to his friend who was about to go on a diplomatic mission to the Jin Dynasty - Zhang Demao, then Shaoqing of Dali. The cowardly and incompetent Southern Song Dynasty court signed the "Longxing Peace Agreement" with the Jin people, which was a national humiliation. Chen Runeng denounced the barbaric smell that spread throughout the Chinese territory, and called on people of insight to avenge the humiliation and fight against the Jin people.
Simon Yan's insinuation of mocking Chen Yu and Shen Hexuan was his last strong medicine. He could imagine that Shen Hexuan would be ashamed and angry when he saw the letter, and Chen Yu would be furious when he saw the letter. He didn't know whether it could change the situation of the Chu army and the Jin soldiers colluding with each other. Anyway, it couldn't get worse.
