Jin State, Liaodong.

"Strategist, this Liaodong looks very dilapidated!"

Shi Qian looked at the surrounding environment and whispered to Xu Guanzhong, there are not many people in sight along the way, and the houses in the city are all dilapidated.

"It wasn't like this in Liaodong when I came here before."

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said.

Along the way, Xu Guanzhong did not rush to contact the Jin people, but bypassed the Jurchens on the seashore and secretly entered the hinterland of Liaodong along the Yalu River.

"Although this place in Liaodong is bitterly cold, the land is fertile, even if you plant a season of grain every year, the output is enough to feed people, not to mention that there are countless rare beasts in the mountains and forests, which can be hunted and gathered......"

Xu Guanzhong said.

"Strategist, Liaodong is still a good place to listen to you!"

Shi Qian looked at Xu Guanzhong and said curiously.

"If Liaodong is so bad, why should the Khitans and Jurchens survive here, and they are strong enough to invade the Central Plains?"

Xu Guanzhong opened his mouth and said, the people of the Central Plains generally think that the Central Plains is the center of the world, and the rest of the places are barren land.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a group of black-armored cavalry appeared in front of the road, led by a middle-aged general with a big knife in his hand, full of murderous intent, who was staring at Xu Guanzhong and a few people at this time.

"We are the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are ordered to go to Huining Mansion!"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

The army on the opposite side suddenly drew its blades and quickly stopped Xu Guanzhong and the others.

"You Southern Barbarian spies dare to trespass into Liaodong, you know that this is a capital crime!"

A middle-aged general who spoke the Jurchen glared angrily at Xu Guanzhongdao.

"How could I be a spy? If I were a spy, I wouldn't have walked on this avenue, and I wouldn't have been discovered by you. ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Flamboyant Nanban!"

Wan Yan Gao smiled contemptuously, and rode a horse in front of Xu Guanzhong, condescending, with a murderous face.

"Haha, the war between the two countries has not yet been killed, your intimidation with me like this will only make your Jin Kingdom despised by the world!"

Xu Guanzhong was not afraid at all, and looked at the murderous Wan Yan Gao with a smile, he knew very well that Wan Yan Gao's purpose was to use this momentum to scare and scare him, at this time, as a messenger, he must not be cowardly, if he showed his cowardice, all the initiative was in the hands of the other party.

"You dare to laugh at my Dajin!"

Wan Yan Gao was furious and looked at Xu Guanzhong viciously.

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

Xu Guanzhong smiled indifferently.

"Guts! It's the first time I've seen such a bold southerner, no wonder he could be a messenger! ”

Wan Yan Gao turned his anger into laughter.

"My Jurchen people appreciate the courage of the most, today you trespassed into Liaodong, you should have been killed on the spot, for the sake of your guts, I will spare you today and follow me!"

As soon as Yan Gao waved his hand, a team of Jurchen soldiers stepped forward and used their knives and guns against Xu Guanzhong and the others.

Xu Guanzhong gave Ma Ling and Shi Qian a look, asking the two not to be impulsive, Ma Ling put away the gold bricks that were secretly buckled, and Shi Qian also put down the hand that was touching his waist.

Wan Yan Gao didn't care when he saw all this, the envoy's entourage naturally carried weapons, but they didn't care, the Jurchens were not afraid of heaven and earth, how could they be afraid of two southerners with weapons.

"What is this general called?"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Wan Yan Gao and asked.

"I am the Great Jin Guoguo, and I am extremely strong and Yan Gao! Brother Dajin Guo, Great Sage, Emperor Daming, finished his face and bones! ”

Wan Yan Gao said proudly.

"The national theory is extremely strong?"

Although Xu Guanzhong is familiar with the common sense of foreign races, he still has no concept of the strange official position of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom.

"Haha, if you don't understand, forget it, just treat me as the prime minister of Dajin."

Wan Yan Gao laughed and said.

"Prime Minister! Well, I see. ”

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

"This gentleman talks extraordinary, I recruit talents with a lot of gold, and I appreciate the courage and knowledge the most, why should Mr. stay in that weak Song? It's better to join me Dajin, and the future high-ranking officials are just a sentence! ”

Wan Yan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong with great appreciation, he liked the courageous character the most, Xu Guanzhong was dignified and not surprised, which made him want to win over.

"Haha, General Wanyan, I'm a southerner, aren't you afraid I'm a spy if you recruit me like this?"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Haha, my Jurchen warriors never talk about that, if we have the ability, we are brothers! What Song Guo can give, I can give ten times as much gold! ”

Wan Yan Gao laughed and said, there are few Jurchens, and now they are expanding their territory, and they urgently need a large number of people, which has become the best way to absorb foreign races, they don't care what kind of race you are, as long as the goal is the same, it is enough.

"It's a pity, as a messenger, I can't obey my fate!"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said.

"Sir doesn't have to refuse so quickly, my words have always been valid, if Sir changes his mind, he can come at any time! By the way, I don't know the name of the gentleman? ”

Wan Yan Gao said indifferently.

"My name is Xu Guanzhong!"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, if you have anything to do, just tell me that His Majesty the Emperor is busy with official business and has no time to meet the envoy of the Song Kingdom."

Wan Yan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong and said.

"My letter of state is going to be handed over to the Emperor of Jin."

Xu Guanzhong frowned and looked at Wan Yan Gao, the national letter is a letter between the emperor and the emperor, how can it be handed over to a minister.

"Hehe, what qualifications do you emperors of the Song Kingdom have to compare with my Dajin Emperor? Just give me this national letter. ”

Wan Yan Gao looked at Xu Guanzhong and smiled.

"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my fate again, and I will only give this letter to the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom!"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, he didn't believe that Jin Guo was not interested in the national letter of the Great Song Dynasty at all, Jin Guo had just established a country, although the combat power was strong, but in front of the surrounding countries, this was just a small country in the Fan State, and Jin Guo urgently needed the formal recognition of a big country, which was like a kind of inheritance, and the coronation of the new king needed the recognition of the old king.

"What if I say no?"

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

"Then I can only tear up the national letter and burn the jade!"

Xu Guanzhong said indifferently.

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

Wan Yan 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 at all, and followed the soldiers with Shi Qian and Ma Ling with a smile.

In the dungeon.

"Strategist, we'll take you out tonight!"

Shi Qian looked at the big lock at the door, and his heart was full of sarcasm, this backward huge copper lock had no advantages except for its weight, he only needed a thin iron bar to pry it open in two clicks.

"Don't worry, the Jurchens are more anxious than us."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.

"Strategist, don't you see something?"

Ma Ling saw that Xu Guanzhong was confident and asked.

"The Jurchens have just attacked the Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, but they have withdrawn their troops again, do you know why?"

Xu Guanzhong asked with a smile.

"I said that I wanted to capture Emperor Tianzuo of Liao alive!"

Shi Qian said.

"No, if you want to capture Emperor Tianzuo alive, then why did you fight Shangjing and withdraw your troops? You can occupy Shangjing first to catch the exam! What Wanyan Aguta wants is for the Liao State to recognize the status of the Jin State, so that the Jin State is no longer a small country. ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile.
