"How do you know if you don't try? In my opinion, you are far better at being an envoy than a general."

Sun Lei said with a smile, that Hu Yanqing was defeated and captured alive by Ruan Xiaoer and the others, which shows that his military talent is really mediocre.

"Boss Sun, you don't need to send me to negotiate with the imperial court. If Boss Sun has the idea of ​​recruiting peace, he can go to Dengzhou to talk to Zhizhou."

Hu Yanqing looked at Sun Lei and said, as a descendant of Huyan's family, he really didn't want to go to the imperial court with the name of a thief.

"Recruitment, who told you that I am going to recruit security?"

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"If Chief Sun didn't intend to call for peace, then what kind of envoy do you want me to be?"

Hu Yanqing was also confused, could it be possible that messengers are needed to communicate between the rivers, lakes and mountains?Is this too grand?

"Haha, are you overthinking it? Of course, the envoy is on behalf of the country to go to other countries. What I like is your eloquence and language talent. You can communicate without hindrance in a foreign land."

Sun Lei knew that Hu Yanqing was thinking too much, and Hu Yanqing's eyes were still on the territory of Song Dynasty.

"On behalf of the country to go to another country!"

This sentence made Hu Yanqing stunned, he never thought that Sun Lei would think so.

"That's right, otherwise what kind of messenger do I want you to be?"

Sun Lei has a point.

"Leader Sun wants to rebel against Liguo?"

Hu Yanqing realized that he had underestimated Sun Lei, the young man in front of him was not kidding.

"Isn't that obvious!"

Sun Lei looked at everyone, and everyone laughed.

"Let me ask you, which national languages ​​do you understand?"

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and asked, since he is his emissary, he must know the details.

"The villain can speak Khitan, Jurchen, Goryeo, and Japanese."

Hu Yanqing replied honestly.

"Can you speak Korean and Japanese?"

Sun Lei is very satisfied with Hu Yanqing's answer. Xu Guanzhong is not very familiar with these two languages. After all, Xu Guanzhong is from Hebei. He has only been to Liaodong, Mongolia, Xixia, Longxi and other places. He has never been to the Korean Peninsula or Japan. Just learned about it.

"In the early years, Koryo and Japan often sent people across the sea to study, and most of the merchant ships came to Dengzhou, and even the envoys who went on missions would pass through Dengzhou. As the commander of the Ping Navy, I had to deal with these people, and I learned other things. language."

Hu Yanqing opened the mouth and said, Dengzhou is the gateway to the northeast of the Song Dynasty, and both Korean and Japanese ships have to pass here.

"before?"

Sun Lei grasped these two words very keenly.

"In recent years, Koryo and Japan have successively established diplomatic relations with the Liao Kingdom, and the relationship with the Song Dynasty has also faded. In the past few years, there have been no other exchanges except for some merchant ships."

Hu Yanqing opened the mouth and said.

"How did I hear that Jurchens and Khitans have been beating Goryeo?"

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"Leader Sun, those people in Goryeo are no match for the Jurchens and Khitans. 11 years ago, the Jurchens directly crossed the Great Wall built by Goryeo and entered the hinterland of Goryeo. Tongtong, Koryo has been destroyed long ago. Today's Koryo directly surrenders to the Liao Kingdom."

Hu Yanqing explained.

"Then what do you think the fighting power of the Koreans is?"

Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"It's nothing compared to the army led by Chief Sun."

Hu Yanqing opened the mouth and said, Sun Lei's fleet is almost invincible, and the barbarians and crude equipment in Goryeo are no match.

"However, Koryo's terrain is complicated, with many dangerous mountains and steep mountains, and the climate is changeable. In summer, there is a lot of rain and the roads are muddy. In winter, it is very cold and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. It is not conducive to landing operations."

Hu Yanqing looked at Sun Lei again and explained.

"You don't have to worry about these, and then tell Mr. Li everything you know. By the way, Mr. Li is one of my Liangshan military advisers."

Sun Lei introduced Li Zhu to Hu Yanqing.

After the banquet was over, Hu Yanqing followed Li Zhu to the military camp. Li Zhu recorded everything Hu Yanqing knew, and then searched for some evidence in Dengzhou to confirm the authenticity.

If, as Hu Yanqing said, there were always Korean and Japanese merchant ships coming to Dengzhou, then Dengzhou must have information about those two places.

Within two days, there were movements from the major families in Dengzhou.

At night, a small boat went out to sea from a small beach in Dengzhou. The goal of the boat was very clear, and it went straight to Salmonella Island.

All of this is under the watchful eye of Zong Ze, Zong Ze is waiting for these people to contact the thieves!
"Sun Li, you did a good job!"

Zong Ze looked at Sun Li, the Dengzhou soldier in front of him, and said that all this information came from Sun Li's investigation.

"Zong Tong's judgment is serious, this is what a villain should do!"

Sun Li hurriedly clasped his fists respectfully and said, he felt a little guilty, because these days he was carrying out Zong Ze's orders on the surface, but he was secretly planning a prison robbery with Mrs. Gu and the others. go around.

"A good job is a good job. Sun Li, I have been observing you. I am mature and steady in doing things. It is a shame to be a soldier. If the suppression of bandits goes well this time, I am going to recommend you to the imperial court as a soldier in Dengzhou." Supervisor."

Zong Ze looked at Sun Liyu and said earnestly.

"Master Tongju! Isn't there already a regiment training envoy Pan Shanyu in Dengzhou?"

Sun Li said with some panic, Dengzhou is just a military state, a regiment training envoy is enough, soldiers and horses are usually only in the government.

"Although Pan Shanyu is brave, he lacks wisdom and is not good enough to guard a gateway port like Dengzhou. Now that the Ping Navy has been destroyed and Dengzhou's coastal defense force is empty, it is time to bring out a soldier."

Zong Ze said, the power in Dengzhou is complicated, and enough troops are needed to rectify it. Sun Li, an outsider who has nothing to do with the local clan, is the best candidate.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Sun Liding will go all out!"

Sun Li hurriedly bowed down to Zong Ze, and even changed his address to En Xiang.

"Work hard, I will not treat you badly!"

Zong Ze looked at Sun Li and nodded.

Sun Li bowed respectfully and left, but at this moment he was thinking about the pros and cons in his mind.

"Dengzhou is the largest port in the north. It has always been an important military town. Now that I have the opportunity to serve as a military commander, do I still need to follow Sun Lei?"

Sun Li somewhat regretted agreeing to Sun Lei's decision to go to Liangshan. Although Dengzhou is only a military state, it is a place that must be contested by military strategists. Going to sea from Dengzhou can directly attack Liaodong and sneak attack the enemy's rear. Once the war breaks out, the strategic position here will be further improved. If he is promoted, he can serve as a military commander here, but he may not be able to be named a marquis and a general in the future.

Back at the mansion, Luan Tingyu was waiting in the courtyard, ready to discuss the robbery.

Sun Li couldn't make up his mind, so he had to discuss it with Luan Tingyu. Now among all the people, only Luan Tingyu can understand him, and the rest are all focused on going to Liangshan and falling grass.

"This matter is not easy to handle. You have already promised Sun Lei, but now you can't say it. If Sun Lei turns his face and reveals the matter directly, what will you do?"

Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Li and said that the crime of colluding with thieves is very serious. No matter how much Zong Ze likes Sun Li, once he is exposed, he will be thrown into prison at the lightest and sent three thousand miles.
