Chenzhou City.
After a great victory, a big banquet was held in the city to celebrate.
"Brother, if the Jurchens retreated so easily, they might have discovered where we came from. The next step is that they may block the coast!"
Xiao Jiasui whispered to Sun Lei.
"Don't be afraid of him. The coastline is thousands of miles away, and one hundred thousand of them won't be enough!"
Sun Lei shook his head and said, "Blocking the coastline is easy to say, but the entire coastline of Liaodong is so long. Not to mention the 100,000 troops in front of us, even hundreds of thousands more cannot block it."
"Brother, there is a Jurchen asking to see you!"
Ou Peng came over and whispered.
"You're sending someone here now? Bring him in!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and smiled.
Soon a middle-aged man in his thirties was brought into the government office, but Sun Lei was still having a party with everyone. He didn't seem to see anyone coming, and he held up his wine glass and drank with everyone.
The visitor frowned and looked at everything in the hall. He was not used to it. The Jurchens were already rough enough, but these people in front of him were even better. The table was filled with cooked beef, fat chickens, tender geese, and dried fruits. Everyone has a big wine bowl in front of them, and there are big wine jars all around the table. They take big gulps of wine and eat chunks of meat. Chicken bones, peels and cores are thrown all over the floor.
"Why are these southerners so barbaric?"
The visitor murmured in his heart.
"The fierce An Yelu of the Great Jin Kingdom has seen Leader Sun!"
Ye Lu cupped his fists and said to Sun Lei, who was sitting on the main seat.
Sun Lei still didn't seem to notice, holding the wine bowl and asking everyone to raise their glasses.
"To brother!"
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted loudly.
The banquet was still going on, and the wine jars were empty one after another. One empty jar was not stable and rolled on the ground until it reached Ye Lu's feet.
Seeing that Sun Lei and others had been ignoring him, Ye Lu's eyes flashed with sternness, and he reached out to pick up the wine jar and smash it. He was the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin and could not be ignored or insulted like this.
"Why are you robbing me of my wine jar?"
Just when Ye Lu's hand was about to touch the wine jar, a thug held his hand down, and Wu Song's voice sounded.
"snort!"
Ye Lu snorted coldly. Someone finally paid attention to him. This proved that the people in front of him did not notice his arrival, but deliberately ignored him. Ye Lu felt fierce in his heart and tried to break free. He must smash the wine jar.
But no matter how hard he tried, his hands couldn't move at all. Wu Song's hands were like a mountain, and his tiny strength couldn't move it.
"you!"
Ye Lu looked at Wu Song with a shocked look on his face. He was also a well-known warrior in the tribe, but now he was being held down and could not move at all.
"You want to steal my wine jar?"
Wu Song squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Lu, their eyes met. Ye Lu's body trembled unconsciously. In front of him, it seemed that he was not an ordinary person, but a tiger looking down at him.
Ye Lu was afraid. At this time, one of his hands was held down by Wu Song and he could not move at all. He could only use the other hand to hit Wu Song.
"Do it?"
Seeing that Ye Lu was about to take action, Wu Song pulled his arm, took out Ye Lu's belt with his other hand, and lifted Ye Lu up directly.
"Brother, I caught something interesting!"
Wu Song laughed and held up the struggling Ye Lu.
"Erlang is so capable! Play a trick!"
Sun Lei praised with a smile, and everyone clapped and applauded.
"Haha, brother, keep an eye on it!"
Wu Song smiled and tossed Ye Lu around as lightly as Cuju throwing a ball.
"Put me down, you thieves!"
Ye Lu's face turned red with humiliation. At this moment, he finally understood what these people in front of him were. These were thieves, and this was a den of thieves, a group of thieves even more barbaric than them.
"Want to come down?"
Wu Song chuckled and smashed Ye Lu to the ground. Ye Lu hit the ground hard, making him dizzy and unable to recover for a while.
"I am...the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin...how dare you treat me like this?"
Ye Lu finally came to his senses, got up, looked at Sun Lei with a ferocious expression and shouted.
"We just fought, and you want me to treat you politely now? I'm being polite by not killing you!"
Sun Lei looked at Ye Lu and said.
"It was you who came to Liaodong first to capture Chenzhou! You are the invaders!"
Ye Lu angrily scolded Sun Lei.
"I am a bandit! Conquering cities and territories, robbing and killing people is what I should do! According to what you say, you should be fishing and hunting among the white mountains and black waters. Why are you coming to Liaodong? This is not yours!"
Sun Lei looked at Ye Lu with disdain, invader? Everyone is an invader! No one is clean.
"You are right about what you said about the Central Plains. Are you from the Bohai country? You became a traitor and defected to the Jurchens?"
Sun Lei looked at Ye Lu. His appearance was somewhat alien, but his Central Plains accent was very pure.
"I am from Yilou, not from Bohai!"
Ye Lu said coldly.
"People from Yilou?"
Sun Lei touched his chin and smiled and said, Sushen, Yilou, and Mohe, these can all be regarded as the same clan of the Jurchens, and they are also traditional ethnic groups in the white mountains and black waters.
"You learned the original words well."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"snort!"
Ye Lu snorted coldly. He was also a language genius. The current Jurchen writing was created by him and Wanyan Xiyin together. He learned the Central Plains dialect from the Central Plains caravan, and he also taught Jin Wushu the Central Plains dialect.
"I am here on the orders of Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin, to discuss peace talks with Leader Sun."
Ye Lu was silent for a moment, and seeing that Sun Lei didn't speak, he directly explained his purpose.
"Peace talks?"
Sun Lei smiled and touched his chin without saying anything.
"There is no conflict of interest between us in the Dajin Kingdom and Leader Sun. We are in Liaodong and Leader Sun is in Shandong. The two sides can keep their distance from each other!"
Ye Lu looked at Sun Lei and continued.
"That's not what you said! What you are talking about is a normal situation, but we are bandits. We rely on robbing things to survive. We rob the Song Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, and the Xixia Kingdom. Naturally, we will rob you too!"
Sun Lei spread his hands and said helplessly, peaceful coexistence is the way for normal forces to get along with each other, not the way for gangsters to get along with each other.
Ye Lu looked at Sun Lei in disbelief. How could this bandit speak so confidently? Aren't the people in the Central Plains all about etiquette, justice, integrity and trust? How could someone be so shameless?
"If nothing happens, you can leave. Don't disturb us for drinking!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and said.
Without waiting for Ye Lu to speak again, Ou Peng led his soldiers to pull Ye Lu out.
"Brother, the Jurchens are so scared!"
Suisheng laughed and said, the Jurchens came to negotiate for peace because they were afraid.
"It's not like they didn't suffer much loss today. How could they be afraid if there are 100,000 people?"
Sun Lei waved his hand. He was conceited, but not arrogant.
"Then what is Ye Lu here for?"
Zhang Qing asked curiously.
"Explore our background! The enemy who knows nothing is the most terrifying! So today I specially asked Erlang to act rude, just to confuse Na Yelu."
Sun Lei nodded.
"Haha, no wonder my brother asked me to tease that guy!"
Wu Song laughed.
"The Jurchens should come again tomorrow to call for war. Have a good rest tonight!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.
"Brother, why don't you go over there tonight?"
Tang Bin said, now that the two armies are retreating against the enemy, it is the perfect opportunity for them to make a sneak attack.
"Of course a sneak attack is a sneak attack, but it's not a Jurchen camp!"
Sun Lei shook his head. (End of chapter)
