Chapter 1452: On Heroes

Liu Zhenbang arched his hand and said: "Then it depends on what kind of goal the big leader wants to achieve, the big leader draws the way, and the two sides can sit down and discuss it carefully." ”

Wanyan Agu smiled and said, "Don't you understand my goal? I will take Bianliang City and destroy your Great Zhou. Become the lord of the world. That's what I'm aiming for. ”

Liu Zhenbang smiled bitterly and smacked his lips and said: "Big leader, if you want to discuss, you must be sincere. If both sides are insincere, then what is there to talk about? ”

Wanyan Agu smiled and said, "It's you who want to discuss, but it's not me." I didn't ask you to come and talk to us. I, the Jurchens, have always seen the truth on the battlefield, and unlike you, we are not used to bargaining at the negotiating table. Defeat the opponent on the battlefield and capture the city and land, this is our negotiation. ”

Liu Zhenbang frowned and groaned, his face embarrassed. This is like the feeling that Xiucai meets Bing, and it is unreasonable. When ordinary people reach this point, they are afraid that they have already gotten up and left with their sleeves brushed, because there is nothing to talk about in the other party's attitude. But Liu Zhenbang is super tolerant, because he shoulders Lu Zhongtian's entrustment, and this time he must negotiate terms with the Jurchens, so he can't leave.

"The big chief, when my family Lu Xiang counted the heroes of the world, he called the big leader the great hero of the world. Heroes of the world should have heroic minds and deeds. If the big leader insists on going his own way and refuses to compromise at all, then he is afraid that he will be brave and unscrupulous. With the current strength of your soldiers and horses, the consequences of storming Bianliang have been said before, and it may not be the best policy. If you are brave and unscrupulous, you are not a real hero, and you hope that the big leader will think twice. Liu Zhenbang plucked up his courage and said in a deep voice.

Wanyan Aguda was not unhappy because the other party said that he was brave and unscrupulous, this was the second time that Liu Zhenbang mentioned Lu Zhongtian's words about the heroes of the world, but he was quite interested in the heroes that Lu Zhongtian talked about.

"Does your Lu Xiang like to judge character? He said I'm a hero? I'd rather like to know who else I think is heroic. You might as well tell me about it. Wanyan Agu laughed.

Liu Zhenbang arched his hand and said: "My family Lu Xiang is quiet and resolute, he has read a lot of people, he is a person with high intelligence, and he thinks very highly of himself. There are few people in the world who can be admired by Lu Xiang. There are very few people who can be called heroes by Lu. However, on the birthday of Lu Xiang, there were a few people at the banquet, who could be called heroes and heroes in the world. One of them is your Great Leader. My family Lu Xiang said that the great leader of Wanyan is a hero, born in a remote mountain tribe, with his own strength in the past few years to rise in the world, with the weakest force between the two strong men of the Great Zhou and Liao, and finally achieved himself. This is not only the strength of bravery, but also the superior wisdom. No matter what the final result is, just this act is worthy of the four words "hero". ”

Wanyan Agu smiled and nodded: "When you say that, I really have some skills." I'm not humble, if I can't be called a hero, who in the world would dare to be it. ”

Liu Zhenbang nodded and said: "Exactly, however, the great leader of Wanyan is not the person who my family Lu Xiang admires the most." However, in the list of heroes listed by my family Lu Xiang, he is already the second most ranked person. ”

Liu Zhenbang suddenly realized that he was too much to say, and said in front of Wanyan Agu that he was not the most powerful person, and he was afraid that he would be unhappy. He hurriedly stopped, but it was too late. The words have been spoken, and Wanyan Aguda has also listened carefully.

Wanyan Agu glared at Liu Zhenbang and said, "Oh? And rankings? I would like to hear about it. ”

Liu Zhenbang said helplessly: "There is a small ranking, but Lu Xiang said that it is just the ranking in his own heart, in fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the ranking is just a joke." Just listen to it as a joke. ”

Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice: "I want to know, you tell me." I'll just listen to it as a joke. ”

Liu Zhenbang had to nod and said, "Okay." Lu Yuan said that in my Great Zhou court, there are not many people who can be called heroes. The two adults, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, who implemented the law change back then, can be called heroes. Because these two people are resolute and resolute, and their will is as strong as a rock. The change of the law back then hindered so much, but these two people still worked hard to open up the mountain and open up the situation for a short time. Although changing the law is not necessarily a good thing, these two people are too stubborn to know how to be flexible. But his heroic heart to do everything for one thing, even at the cost of committing suicide in the end, is moving and stirring. Lu Xiang said that these two people can be called heroes. ”

Wanyan Aguda nodded slowly, he heard a lot about Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru from Wanyan Mingyue's mouth. Wanyan Mingyue only returned to the tribe from Bianliang three years ago, and naturally he also talked about the new law changes in the Great Zhou Dynasty in detail. The deeds of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are also known to Yan Agu, nature.

"I'm not familiar with these two people, but I've heard of it, Da Zhou's changes were carried out vigorously, and these two people eventually died for the cause they were pursuing, but they were also fierce people. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero. "Wanyan Agu Avenue.

These two people are ranked last because they don't know how to be flexible, too strong and upright, and too stubborn, which is why Lu Xiang ranked them behind. Lu Xiang said that heroes should know how to advance and retreat, when they know Yuantong, and when they know current affairs. Liu Zhenbang said.

Wanyan Agu Avenue: "Then who else?" ”

Liu Zhenbang said: "Above them is my late privy envoy Yang Jun of the Great Zhou. Yang Shumi has mastered the military aircraft of the Great Zhou Dynasty for 20 years, which is the most stable 20 years of military affairs in the Great Zhou Dynasty. But that's not a reason for him to be praised. Lu Xiang said that it was no less difficult for Yang Jun to quell the rebellion in Western Xia than it was to open up the country. At the beginning, the support of the imperial court was very small, and Yang Jun had less than 150,000 soldiers and horses, but he faced nearly 500,000 troops from the Western Xia tribes led by Li Xuanhao. Yang Jun stubbornly held the situation, and defeated Li Xuanhao's cavalry in the final battle and quelled the Western Xia Rebellion. That's not all, Lu Xiang said that what he admired most about Yang Jun was the extermination order implemented after the rebellion was quelled.

The means are ruthless enough, desperate enough, and brutal enough, but they hit the nail on the head. Since then, the Western Xia tribes have been stable for nearly ten years, and it is because of this order. A person who can have such feats and act so decisively and ruthlessly can be called heroes. It's a pity that Yang Jun is selfish, the pattern is not big, he appoints a private person, and he is stubborn and self-contained. In the first battle of Liao, he stuck to the rules, and for many years he was unwilling to forge ahead on the credit book, and finally lost at the hands of the Liao, which was a big mistake. But throughout his life, he is known as a 'hero'. ”

Wanyan Agu nodded and said: "Yang Jun can indeed be worthy of a hero, I know that when he fought against Li Xuanhao's army in Western Xia, he invented many combat tactics. After that, both the Liao people and my Jurchens were deeply inspired. I came south this time, and I really hope to fight him, but it's a pity that your Great Zhou court killed him by yourself, and I don't know what you think. As far as I am concerned, Yang Jun alone is worth 100,000 male soldiers, and your imperial court is really inexplicable. ”

Liu Zhenbang didn't want to say more about this matter, so he continued: "Above Yang Jun is Lu Xiang himself. Lu Xiang said that it may be a bit ridiculous and generous to call himself a hero, but he said that he has gone through three dynasties, made countless enemies, crisscrossed the sea, and stood firm after several ups and downs, this is his ability. If you don't count yourself, you don't think the hero argument is very convincing. So, he deserves one of them. ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting." Lu Zhongtian is not humble. But he is right, how many people can stand in the court for fifty years like him and have been at the peak of power. He is not a hero, who is a hero? Hahaha. ”

Liu Zhenbang smiled and said, "Thank you for the approval of the Great Leader Wanyan." However, Lu Xiang said that he has not made much achievements over the years in terms of merit. Although the responsibility is not with Lu Xiang, but because the former emperor and the current emperor of the Great Zhou did not listen to good words. But as the prime minister, it is still difficult to escape the blame. Therefore, he can only be in the middle of the ranks. Ranked below the Grand Boss. ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said: "Lu Zhongtian is also humble, and he actually listed himself below me, so I am more curious about who is the highest ranked one now." I guess it's an emperor. Is it your Great Zhou Emperor Guo Xu? Or your former emperor Guo Chong? Or is it Yelu Zongyuan? ”

Liu Zhenbang laughed, shook his head and said: "No, I said that he was a hero in the world, and of course he was counted as a man who died not long ago." But this one was neither an emperor nor a lord, and he was not very old. may not be well-known in the Great Zhou Dynasty or even in the north of Liao, but it is highly respected by Lu Xiang. This person's surname is Lin, and his single name is the word 'Jue'. ”

Lin ...... Straight? You're talking about him? Wanyan Agu screamed in shock.

"What? Could it be that the big leader also knows Lin Jue's name? Liu Zhenbang was surprised.

Wanyan Agu sneered: "How do you know, I have a lot of relationship with him." But how could it be him? How can he be called a hero? And in Lu Zhongtian's opinion, the ranking is higher than mine? I'm afraid your Lu Xiang is confused. ”
