Even though he already knew that the other party was not an ordinary person, Sun Tu was still slightly surprised when he heard what he said. This Liao general with a strong body and a wolf-like appearance was not only proficient in Chinese, he was also so eloquent, but it was really unexpected. If it were a person who was not strong-minded enough and had ideas but could not speak out, I am afraid that these words would have been enough to make people's hearts move, and they would even bow down and surrender to the Liao people.
However, Sun Tu only smiled after being startled and said: "How can I be so virtuous and talented by you? I may know some superficial kung fu, but I'm not really a talent. Not to mention that I have always been stubborn and often do things poorly." Regardless of the consequences…”
"Sun Dutou, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. Your martial arts skills are rare. Even in Daliao, you can be considered a leader. But this is not what I value. It is the shortcomings you mentioned. Because of you If you dare to do these things in Tokyo, you will be impressed by me. Daliao is exactly short of people like you who dare to do things!"
Seeing Sun Tu's doubtful face, he smiled and said: "By the way, I haven't told you my identity after saying so much. My Khitan name is Yelu Qilgu, which translated into Chinese is What the arrow means, you can also call me Yelu Jian. Although I am not a high-ranking official in the Liao Dynasty, I am also the most trusted person under the Liao Xingjun Jiedu Envoy. As long as I can recommend you, you can You will definitely gain importance in Daliao. Also, I know that your Han people value family the most, so as long as you nod your head and agree, I will find a way to send your family to the north to save you from worries."
These words were said with sufficient sincerity. They not only revealed his true identity, but also relieved Sun Tu from his worries. To be honest, even he was a little moved.
However, this touch only lasted for a moment. Sun Tu quickly smiled and said: "As far as I know, there are constant turmoil in Daliao today. Not to mention the affiliated tribes that are ready to make trouble, there are already dissatisfaction between the emperor and the ministers in the court. In comparison, our Song Dynasty is more peaceful. General Yelu's recruitment rhetoric may not be convincing."
When he heard what he said, Yelujian was not only not annoyed but also laughed, because in his opinion, this was a sign that Sun Tu was already interested, otherwise why would he raise doubts. He immediately said: "It seems that Daliao has hidden worries now, but in fact it is much better than Song Dynasty. Especially for warriors like Sun Dutou, only in Daliao will we have a better future. And also It is precisely because some people in the country have gone too far that my Jiedushi is trying to recruit talents to suppress all parties. In my opinion, you are the most suitable candidate."
After a pause, he turned serious again: "Sun Dutou, can't your previous experiences still allow you to recognize the facts? You worked hard for the Song Dynasty court, but what did you get in exchange? And this Once, you obviously took action for the sake of the stability of the city of Tokyo, but how did those officials treat you? They only wanted to protect their own interests, but no one stood up to speak for you. If we use If the regiment sends someone to say a few words to Song Ting, I'm afraid some people will take you down and convict you, right?"
Sun Tu's eyes narrowed slightly. These words sounded like persuasion, but in fact they were hidden threats. If he really refused to agree to this matter and left regardless, he wouldn't need to do anything by the Liao people. Just saying hello would be enough to make him suffer. No, I just walked away
However, it is a dream to force Sun Tuzhen to surrender to the Liao Kingdom in this way. Not to mention the sense of belonging in terms of identity, his superficial understanding of history alone is enough for Sun Tu to make a correct choice between the Song Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom.
Perhaps the Liao Kingdom is still superior to the Song Dynasty in terms of military strength, but the situation they will face next will be several times more difficult than the Song Kingdom, because soon the Jin Kingdom established by the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens will reach an agreement and then attack from the north and the south until they are defeated. The Liao Kingdom was completely destroyed. Under such circumstances, even if he is a time traveler and has some unreliable warehouse properties, he still cannot resist this historical trend.
Even if you want to change the direction of history, the Song Dynasty, a richer Han country, is more reliable than the Liao Kingdom, a country that only has military force and is precarious.
Although he had already made a decision in his heart, Sun Tu still showed a tangled expression on his face: "This... is related to my life. I'm afraid I won't be able to make a decision at the moment."
Yelu Jian nodded clearly: "I can give you time to think about it. Let's do this. You will stay in the embassy these days, so you don't have to worry about Song Ting officials coming to trouble you again. You don't have to worry about not being able to ask for help. They told me that I will ask someone to mention it to the relevant officials and say that you have done a great job in saving me just now, so you will accompany my mission in the capital to ensure our safety."
He wanted to force himself to stay with him, but Sun Tu couldn't refuse at this time. Otherwise, if he was angered, the Liao people would really pursue the matter of injuring his subordinates, and then his official position would really not be preserved. Sun Tu, who understood this, could only nod in agreement: "That's enough trouble."
"Haha, okay, when the time comes, Sun Tutou, you will definitely be able to see the difference between our country, the Liao Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty, and make the right choice." Yelu Jian then laughed, and then called someone to lead Sun Tu to the side. Settled down in the vacated room above.
Later, Yelujian led people to the back, saw Chen Xiangnan who had calmed down from the panic, told Sun Tu that he left him behind, and decided to recruit him. Chen Xiangnan looked at him strangely: "Does Lin Ya value this person so much? Just because of his martial arts skills?"
"Of course it's not just martial arts, but also his mind and his identity as a Song Dynasty man." Yelu Jian narrowed his eyes. At this time, in addition to being tough, he was also a bit more unpredictable.
Chen Xiangnan looked at him and his heart tightened. The other party had a special status and must have his own plans here. He did not dare to ask more questions and could only say: "How can I cooperate with the lower officials?"
"First, it's up to you to express your gratitude to Song Ting for Sun Tu. He did save you, didn't he? So we have to keep him in the embassy to entertain him. Second, you send some people to spread the word about Sun Tu. To say that he has a close relationship with our Liao people, it is best to make all the Song people in the city believe that he has the idea of abandoning the Song Dynasty and joining the Liao Dynasty, and I want to cut off his escape." Yelu Jian calmly stated his intention, but Chen heard that Xiangnan was frightened for a while, this approach was too insidious.
In fact, if the two countries were at war, it would be reasonable to use such countermeasures in order to get rid of the other side's important generals, but now that they are using this method for a small ninth-grade military attache, it seems a bit despicable no matter how you look at it. But since it was Yelu Jian's wish, he didn't dare to go against it, so he could only agree in a low voice.
After finishing his instructions, Yelv Jian stood up and walked out of the house. At this time, there was already a capable subordinate waiting outside. When he saw him, he quickly approached and reported: "Lin Ya, the assassin finally revealed the truth. "
"He wasn't sent by the Song people, was he? No matter how stupid the Song people are, they can't attack us in their own capital." Yelu Jian asked with anticipation.
"Yes, he has actually been hiding in the Xixia Death Room in Tokyo!" Without too much flattery, his subordinates had already told the result.
Yelu Jian's eyes flashed with a faint light: "As I thought, the party members who seemed to be surrendering have actually been restless for a long time. It seems that this time I return to Beijing, I should try to beat them. Those three What about people? What connection do they have with the Xixia people?"
"Xiao Guorang also confessed everything. He was bribed with a lot of money before he left for Beijing, and that's why he caused this trouble after coming to Tokyo. But he didn't know what those people wanted to do. He thinks this is because we Liao people want to see the southern official make a fool of himself, but he doesn’t know that you are in the mission, Lin Ya.”
"Yes, it's a good thing that he and the people behind him didn't know that I was in the mission, otherwise this assassination would only target me, and it wouldn't be just this person. Because in their plan, as long as there is an assassination, And as long as there are Song officials present at the scene, success or failure is secondary. What they want to do is to provoke disputes between Song and Liao so that Xixia can profit from it." Yelv Jian raised his head as he spoke. He glanced at the dark sky above his head and let out a slow breath: "When I return to Shangjing, these people will be destroyed. And we will also take this opportunity to clean up some people with evil intentions in the country. ." As he spoke, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, so shocked that the confidants around him took a step back.
￥￥￥￥￥
At this point, Sun Tu could only adhere to the principle of taking care of himself and stay in the Liao mission with peace of mind.
In fact, he also secretly guessed that the other party who put him under semi-forced house arrest here would definitely do things outside that would make him unable to defend himself, but with his current situation, it seemed that he had no other choice.
It is really unexpected that I traveled to the Song Dynasty and tried my best to find a better position, but after more than a year in Tokyo, I was still just a ninth-grade military attaché and the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture with little real power, and he was still This offended a large number of court officials. On the other hand, the Liao man actually only met him once before he thought of using him in an important way. Even if he hid some secrets behind his back that could not be revealed directly, he still felt a bit like a confidant towards Yelv Jian. At least the other party truly recognizes his ability.
"It's a pity that you and I are on different paths after all, and we may become enemies in the future, so I can only accept your kindness." Sun Tu leaned on the bedside, looked at the gloom outside the window and said silently in his heart, as if Convince yourself not to be tempted by the other party's solicitation rhetoric.
Once again, Sun Tu longed to have his own power in his hands, otherwise he would always be able to drift with the crowd like he is now, becoming a chess piece that others can play with at will. Maybe, this time I can get what I want from the Liao people
