Walked not long to arrive at the grass hut under Xu Guanzhong Mountain, only to see a clear stream flowing in front of the house, gurgling water surrounds it, the bamboo fence outside the door surrounds, the firewood is half covered, the bamboo pine is repaired, the red maple and cypress, the forest is dense before and after, very elegant. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Everyone, please come in, I'll prepare tea."

Xu Guanzhong invited everyone to enter the bamboo fence courtyard and sit down.

There are bamboo tables and bamboo chairs in this courtyard, and it seems that Xu Guanzhong often drinks tea here and enjoys the scenery.

There were too many people Sun Lei only brought Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Gongsun Sheng and Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong into the courtyard.

Xu Guanzhong's mother is uncomfortable, and it is naturally not suitable for outsiders to go in to visit, but Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong have a good relationship, and they can go to the inner hall to visit.

"The house is narrow and ugly, a few people don't want to joke, and drink a cup of tea."

Xu Guanzhong said after serving tea to Sun Lei and a few others.

"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the scenery is unique and quiet, and it is indeed the residence of the nobles."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"I don't know what is the important matter for Leader Sun to come here?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and asked directly, there must be something important about coming here to find him as Sun Lei.

Sun Lei didn't speak, just smiled and glanced at Gongsun Sheng next to him.

Gongsun Sheng smiled and spoke, but what he said was Khitan, Xu Guanzhong was stunned, but immediately replied in Khitan.

"This Taoist master actually understands Khitan?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Gongsun Sheng unexpectedly, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State gradually became closer, and now the caravans can come and go from time to time, but there are not many people in Hebei who really know Khitan dialect.

"Poor people from Jizhou!"

Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.

"I see."

Xu Guanzhong suddenly realized that the sixteen states of Yanyun had been ruled by the Liao people for nearly two hundred years, and many people in the sixteen states knew Khitan language.

"That's what I'm looking for today!"

Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong and said.

"For this? Khitan? ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei, if he wanted to talk about his talents, he didn't dare to compare with Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang in front of him, but when it came to language talent, he thought that no one could recognize the second Great Song Dynasty, and he was proficient in the foreign languages of the surrounding countries of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Not only Khitan, I heard that Mr. Xu is also proficient in Jurchen, Dangxiang, Tubo, and Mongolian Chinese? He also knows the geography of the world and has traveled to famous mountains and rivers. ”

Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong and asked.

Sun Lei has seen cattle people who are proficient in eight Chinese languages, but they are all academic hegemons, but those people are in the era of advanced information, the language has already been thoroughly studied, there are many learning methods, and there are many books available.

This era is completely different, not to mention the literature that can be used for reference and learning, the surrounding foreign races because of the short inheritance, the text is just just formed, the Khitan, the Dangxiang, and the Jurchen are modeled after the text of the Central Plains, Mongolia, Tubo now does not even have a stereotyped text, disorganized, and it is not easy to learn all kinds of things.

"Haha, Leader Sun, it's not the little brother boasting, this language is very proficient in Xiaoke, the family used to be a Hebei businessman, the caravan went to Liao and Xixia all the year round, Xiaoke went there many times, and because he was interested in words, he learned all these years."

Xu Guanzhong laughed, Sun Lei's words just asked him about the itch, his ability is rarely appreciated, and most people are ashamed of knowing foreign languages.

"Haha, it's really a rare all-rounder, and this kind of language talent is rare in ancient and modern times."

Sun Lei praised with a smile, Da Song is afraid that it will be difficult to produce a second such character, language is not easy to learn, it is very powerful to be able to understand all local dialects in later generations, if the foreign language is not a compulsory test, Sun Lei can't learn it, just like that, cramming learning can only cope with an exam, if it is a dialogue, it is also blind.

"Leader Sun praised it falsely, I just prefer miscellaneous studies, not doing my job."

Xu Guanzhong smiled and humbly conceded, but the happy smile in his eyes couldn't hide it.

"Mr. Xu, I, Liangshan, am preparing to be a foreign race in the north, and I am lacking a talent like Mr. Xu who knows the language and knows the terrain."

Sun Lei hugged his fist at Xu Guanzhong.

"Beiding alien? Is Leader Sun joking? ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei in surprise and said.

"Mr. Xu, if it's a joke, how could I bring the three military advisors of Liangshan to find Mr."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, he was very serious, and he didn't mean to joke.

"Leader Sun has such ambitions, but I admire him very much, even those high-ranking officials in the court don't have the courage of Leader Sun, but the alien race in Beiding is not child's play, and it can't be completed without a million army."

Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and said, Sun Lei is a grass king, there are only a few thousand people in the cottage, isn't it sent to death when he goes to Pingliao?

"I don't agree with Mr. Xu's words, why does Pingliao need a million soldiers and horses? Today's Khitan people are not the jackals of a hundred years ago, a group of leper dogs without claws and sharp teeth, and an army of 100,000 can wipe out Liao. Of course, if it is now Zhao Song's army and generals, the million army will be given away in vain. ”

Sun Lei said with a smile that the lack of combat power of the Zhao and Song armies is a problem, but the biggest problem is still on the generals.

"Isn't Leader Sun hysterical?"

Xu Guanzhong frowned and looked at Sun Lei, it was the first time he had seen someone talk so boundlessly, and he didn't do it in daydreams.

Yan Qing also walked out of the inner hall at this time, and saw that Xu Guanzhong's face was not very good, so he hurriedly walked over.

"Mr. Xu, you are proficient in Khitan and Jurchen literature, you should know their relationship, right?"

Sun Lei asked with a smile.

"Naturally, I knew that I went to Ningjiang Mansion with my father ten years ago, the Jurchen tribe came from the Jin tribe, and now it is a small tribe under the rule of the Khitan, living in the white mountains and black waters, where the environment is harsh, but rich in mink and ginseng."

Xu Guanzhong opened his mouth and said, he has traveled to the north and seen the customs and customs that he has not seen in ordinary people, and Sun Lei can't scare him with a few big words.

"Guan Zhong, there is one thing you don't know yet, the Jurchen tribe has a male master, called Yan Aguta, at the end of last year, Aguda led 2,500 Jurchen soldiers to worship their ancestors on the bank of the Lailiu River, and began to raise troops to break Liao. Ah Gu took the lead, went into battle shirtless, and personally shot and killed Yelu Xieshi, the general of the Liao army. Taking advantage of the wavering of the Liao army's heart, Aguta led the army to capture Ningjiang Prefecture and approached Chuhedian, another important military town of the Liao State in the north. ”

"The Liao State has 100,000 troops in Chuhedian, and there are only 3,700 people in Aguta. Wanyan Agu pretended to be a dream of the gods, and led the army to attack the north bank of the Yazi River where the Liao army was stationed at night. After this battle, the Aguda Division seized a large amount of grain, grass, horses and ordnance, and the army also grew to more than 10,000 people, which was enough capital in just one year. ”

"Now Wanyan Aguda has released a rumor, and on New Year's Day of the first month of this year, he will build a yuan in Huining Mansion to collect the country, and the name of the country: Chenban according to spring!"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Xu Guanzhong and shook his head with a sigh and said, he has already investigated these things clearly in Tokyo City, but it is a pity that everyone from the emperor to the officials in Tokyo sneered at the Jurchens, thinking that it was just a barbarian tribe of more than 10,000 people.
