Water Margin people

Chapter 726
Kingdom of Jin, Liaodong.

"Military division, this Liaodong looks very dilapidated!"

Looking at the surrounding environment, Shi Qian said to Xu Guanzhong in a low voice, not many people were seen along the way, and the houses in the city looked dilapidated.

"Liaodong was not like this when I came here."

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said.

On the way, Xu Guanzhong was not in a hurry to contact the Jin people, but bypassed the Jurchens by the sea and secretly entered the hinterland of Liaodong along the Yalu River.

"Although the place in Liaodong is bitterly cold, the land is fertile. Even if you plant a crop of grain every year, the output is enough to feed people. What's more, there are countless rare wild animals in the mountains and forests, which can be hunted and gathered..."

Xu Guanzhong said.

"Military division, Liaodong is still a good place to hear from you!"

Shi Qian looked at Xu Guanzhong curiously.

"If Liaodong is so bad, how can the Khitans and Jurchens live here and have a strong army to invade the Central Plains?"

Xu Guanzhong said, people in the Central Plains generally think that the Central Plains is the center of the world, and the rest of the land is barren.

"Who are you!"

Suddenly a group of black armored cavalry appeared in front of the road. The leader was a middle-aged general with a big knife in his hand, and he was staring at Xu Guanzhong and the others.

"We are the envoys of Song Dynasty, and we are going to Huining Mansion by order!"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

The army on the opposite side suddenly drew their weapons and quickly stopped Xu Guanzhong and others.

"You southern barbarian spies dare to sneak into Liaodong, you know it's a capital crime!"

A middle-aged general speaking awkward Jurchen glared at Xu Guanzhongdao.

"How could I be a spy? If I were a spy, I shouldn't be walking on this road, and I won't be discovered by you."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Slick-tongued southern barbarian!"

Wanyan Gao smiled contemptuously, and rode up in front of Xu Guanzhong, condescending, with a murderous look on his face.

"Haha, the war between the two countries has not yet come, and your threat to me will only make you Jin Guo despised by the world!"

Xu Guanzhong was not afraid at all, and looked at the murderous Wanyan Gao with a smile. He knew very well that Wan Yangao's purpose was to frighten him with this kind of aura. As an envoy at this time, he must not be cowardly. The initiative is in the opponent's hands.

"How dare you laugh at me, Da Jin!"

Wanyan Gao was furious, and looked at Xu Guanzhong fiercely.

"If this general thinks so, I can't help it!"

Xu Guanzhong smiled lightly.

"Bold! It's the first time I've seen such a courageous southerner. No wonder he can be a messenger!"

Wanyan Gao turned his anger into a smile.

"My Jurchen admires courageous people the most. Today you trespassed in Liaodong, and you should have been executed on the spot. For your courage, I will spare you today. Come with me!"

As soon as Wanyan Gao waved his hand, a group of Jurchen soldiers stepped forward to hold Xu Guanzhong and the others with swords and guns.

Xu Guanzhong gave Ma Ling and Shi Qian a wink, telling them not to be impulsive, Ma Ling put away the hidden gold bricks, and Shi Qian also let go of his hand on his waist.

Wanyan Gao didn't care when he saw all this, the envoy's followers would naturally carry weapons, but they didn't care, the Jurchens were fearless, how could they be afraid of two southerners with weapons.

"What is the general's name?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Wanyan Gao and asked.

"I am Wanyan Gao, who is extremely fierce in the theory of the Great Jin Kingdom! My brother, the great sage of the Great Jin Kingdom, Daming Emperor Wanyan Aguda!"

Wan Yan Gao said proudly.

"The national theory is extremely powerful?"

Although Xu Guanzhong is well versed in the common sense of foreign races, he still has no idea about the strange official position of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom.

"Haha, forget it if you don't understand, just treat me as Prime Minister of the Great Jin Kingdom."

Wanyan Gao laughed and said.

"Prime Minister! Well, that's how it is."

Xu Guanzhong smiled, so it seems that Bo Jilie should be some kind of official position in the Kingdom of Jin, and he is a high-ranking official.

"This gentleman is very eloquent. My Daikin recruits talents, and I appreciate those who are courageous and knowledgeable the most. Why do you bother to stay in that weak Song Dynasty? Why don't you join my Daikin? In the future, high-ranking officials and rich salary will only be a word!"

Wanyan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong admiringly, he likes courageous people the most, Xu Guanzhong is handsome and calm, which made him want to win him over.

"Haha, General Wanyan, I'm from the south, so you're not afraid that I'm a spy if you recruit me like this?"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Haha, I, a Jurchen warrior, never talk about that. If we have the ability, we are brothers! Then what the Song Kingdom can give, I, Dajin, can give ten times!"

Wan Yangao laughed and said, Jurchens are few, and now they are expanding their territory, and urgently need a large number of manpower. This is the best way to absorb foreign races. They don't care what clan you are from, as long as the goals are the same, that's enough up.

"It's a pity, as an envoy, I can't obey!"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said.

"Sir, you don't have to refuse so quickly. My words are still valid. If you change your mind, you can come anytime! By the way, I don't know your name?"

Wan Yan Gao said indifferently.

"My name is Xu Guanzhong!"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, just tell me if you have anything to do. His Majesty is busy with official duties and has no time to see the envoy of Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong and said.

"My letter of credence is to be handed over to the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin."

Xu Guanzhong frowned and looked at Wan Yangao, the letter of credence was a letter between the emperor and the emperor, how could it be handed over to a minister.

"Hehe, what qualifications do you Song emperors have to be compared with my Dajin emperor? Just give me this credential."

Wanyan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong and smiled.

"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my orders again. I'll only give this letter of credence to the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Agu!"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, he doesn't believe that the Kingdom of Jin has no interest in Song's credential. The Kingdom of Jin has just established itself. Although its military power is powerful, it is just a small country in front of the surrounding countries. The Kingdom of Jin desperately needs a big country to officially Recognition, this is like a kind of inheritance, the coronation of the new king requires the recognition of the old king.

"What if I say no?"

Wanyan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong with a cold face and said.

"Then I can only tear up the credentials and burn everything!"

Xu Guanzhong said calmly.

"It seems that I am too polite to you, come here, put them in prison!"

Wanyan Gao's voice was full of impatience, and he pointed to the city in front of him and ordered.

Xu Guanzhong was not in a hurry, took Shi Qian and Ma Ling and followed the soldiers away with a smile.

in the dungeon.

"Military division, we will take you out tonight!"

Shi Qian looked at the big lock at the door, and his heart was full of sarcasm. This kind of outdated huge copper lock had no advantages other than being heavy. He only needed a thin iron bar to pry it open twice.

"No rush, the Jurchens are in a hurry than us."

Xu Guanzhong said with a laugh.

"Military division, did you see something?"

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong was confident, Ma Ling asked.

"The Jurchens just attacked the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, but they withdrew their troops again. Do you know the reason?"

Xu Guanzhong asked with a smile.

"They say they want to capture Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom alive!"

Shi Qian said.

"No, if you wanted to capture Emperor Tianzuo alive, why did you attack Shangjing and then withdraw your troops? It is absolutely possible to occupy Shangjing first to take the exam! What Wanyan Aguda wants is for the Liao Kingdom to recognize the status of the Jin Kingdom, so that the Jin Kingdom is no longer a small foreign country."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.
