"What else do you have to say?"
After a long time, Sun Lei looked at the kneeling Liao man and said.
Xiao Feng didn't dare to raise his head at this. He didn't know what Sun Lei wanted to hear, and he didn't know what he should say.
"Are you all mute? Do you want me to cut out your tongues?"
Sun Lei looked at the crowd of Liao people and said.
"King Sun, this villain is just a general under King Xiao!"
Xiao Feng knelt on the ground and said, Xiao Qian only said that if Sun Lei agreed to surrender, he would be crowned Prince of Liang. If there were no other conditions, he would not dare to make any conditions privately.
"Xiao Qian sent you here and didn't ask you to bring any gifts? Are you so embarrassed to come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Feng and asked.
"Three thousand horses have been handed over to the Cangzhou border army."
Xiao Qian said quickly.
"Barbarians are barbarians. They don't understand anything. Three thousand horses are your stepping stone. Why don't you prepare gifts for us when you come to Liangshanbo?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Feng with disdain. Wouldn't he be a fool to visit the house empty-handed during the New Year?
Xiao Feng was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. They really didn't prepare anything. In the past, when they went to the Song Dynasty as envoys, they always returned empty-handed and fully loaded. How could they send gifts?
"Xiao Qian won't really let you come here empty-handed, but will you allow me to be the so-called Prince of Liang?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Feng and asked.
"It's true, I don't dare to lie!"
Xiao Feng said quickly.
"Is there something wrong with Xiao Qian's brain? Those who didn't know better thought he was the emperor of Liao! So arrogant!"
Sun Lei said with a cold voice.
"You just suppressed a few rebellions, do you really think you are invincible? The Jurchens captured Liaodong and twice attacked Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. You were beaten like a lost dog. Why didn't Xiao Qian dare to lead his troops north?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Feng and continued.
The reason why the Liao Kingdom sent people here was because Liangshan defeated the Jurchens, and the Liao Kingdom wanted to use Liangshan's help to deal with the Jurchens.
And this is what Sun Lei wants to see. A dead Liao Kingdom is better than a dead Liao Kingdom.
Xiao Feng knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak. What Sun Lei said was true. Now that he had been defeated several times in succession, everyone in the Liao Kingdom was in panic. Being suppressed and beaten by their former slaves, they could neither accept nor resist.
"You have a message for Xiao Qian. If you want to talk, show some sincerity, or I will send my army north and kill him! How come a bunch of trash that the Jurchens can't defeat have the nerve to talk to me? Why don't I go and talk to the Jurchens?" Seriously! I’ll divide you all!”
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Feng with a playful smile on his face. These words shocked Xiao Feng. They couldn't handle the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. If Liangshan went north, they would be attacked from both sides, how could they stop it.
"Okay, you can go!"
Sun Lei waved his hand, and Zhu Wu immediately had people put black bags on the heads of the Liao people, and then took them down the mountain.
"Brother, I'm afraid the people of Liao won't be willing to do this!"
Li Zhu said that Xiao Qian's conditions were not sincere and he would probably unite with the Song Dynasty to deal with Liang Shanbo.
"What can we do if we are not willing to give in? After the New Year, Wanyan Aguda will probably attack Beijing again. This time, we should not withdraw our troops easily. The Jin Kingdom will occupy Beijing next year."
"Then they will most likely start to attack Zhongjing and Xijing, and attack the Liao Kingdom with overwhelming force. In this case, neither Xiao Qian nor Yelu Yanxi will be able to resist."
Sun Lei shook his head and said, Xu Guanzhong discovered a lot of information during his trip to Liaodong, including the Jin Kingdom's plan to destroy the Liao Dynasty.
The reason why he withdrew his troops this year was that Wanyan Aguda wanted Emperor Tianzuo to formally canonize him and establish the Jin Kingdom in a legitimate and legitimate manner. The second reason was that Liaodong was still undecided and he did not dare to expand too much.
"Brother, everyone is driving away!"
Zhu Wu smiled and reported to Sun Lei.
"Well, write a letter to tell Commander Xiao to pay close attention to the movements of the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom dares to make any changes, take action first!"
Sun Lei looked at Zhu Wu and said, "The Liao Kingdom cannot resist for long. Liangshanbo is far away from Cangzhou. If a fighter opportunity is discovered, it must be seized in time."
"Yes, brother!"
Zhu Wu said.
After driving away the Liao people, Sun Lei clapped his hands, and the servants who had been prepared served wine and food. Liangshan was hosting banquets every day before and after the festival.
Daming Mansion.
Wu Yong was still walking through the streets holding a paper fan and ringing a bell, but at this time Wu Yong had changed his clothes. His hair was dyed half white, and he also had a foot-long beard. He looked like he had entered Sixty years old.
"You are a Taoist priest who is greedy. You dare to ask for one tael of silver per hexagram!"
Just as Wu Yong was walking around ringing the bell, the door of the house opened, and a man in his mid-twenties looked at Wu Yong's flag and laughed.
"Sir, I've been walking around Tokyo for many years, but I don't have any tricks up my sleeve!"
Wu Yong smiled and looked at the man in front of him. This man was Lu Junyi's housekeeper Li Gu. At this time, Li Gu had already changed into a luxurious Yuanwaifu and put on a Sifang Yuanwai hat, and he looked very wealthy.
"Are you still from Tokyo?"
Listening to Wu Yong's accent, Li Gu seemed to recognize a bit of a Tokyo accent.
"If the officials don't believe it, then it means you and I are not destined to be destined. The old man makes a hexagram a day and only gives it to those who are destined!"
Wu Yong smiled and stroked his beard, turned around and left.
"etc!"
Li Gu stopped Wu Yong. He had been feeling restless recently and always felt that something big was happening. Now that he saw Wu Yong being so confident, he couldn't help but have the idea of fortune-telling in his heart.
"Sir, are you really good at telling fortunes?"
Li Gu looked at Wu Yong and asked.
"Pindao calls himself Tantiankou. His ancestral home is Shandong. He once learned Dongyue Emperor's method. He can calculate the emperor's innate numbers and know life and death. Because the hexagram technique is accurate, it is too important to reveal the secrets, so he only calculates one hexagram every day!"
Wu Yong said with a smile.
Li Gu was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly pulled Wu Yong into the yard.
"Sir, if your calculations are good, I will give you the money with both hands!"
Li Gu looked at Wu Yong and said.
"Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven! A poor person can only calculate the truth, not the right one!"
Wu Yong looked at Li Gu and shook his head.
"It's really good! It's really good!"
Li Gu was even more happy after hearing this. He felt guilty. Now he was frightened and needed guidance.
Wu Yong sat in the courtyard and asked Li Gu about his birth date. He took out a few copper coins and put them into a small turtle shell, and then started shaking them while mumbling something.
After a while, seven copper coins were poured out. Wu Yong looked at the coins but said nothing.
"How's it going, sir?"
Li Gu asked quickly.
"Oh, today I feel blocked in my heart. I never thought it was because of this hexagram. It doesn't matter, I'll just follow the old path!"
Wu Yong got up and left.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
Li Gu quickly pulled Wu Yong and took out a tael of silver.
"What a bloody disaster! It's hard for gods to save you!"
Wu Yong just shook his head and insisted on leaving without taking any money.
"Sir, save me! Save me!"
Li Gu was so frightened that he held Wu Yong tightly and wouldn't let go.
"This Feng Shui destiny is all about cause and effect, and you have such bad consequences... ugh!"
Wu Yong just shook his head, as if he didn't want to look at Li Gu anymore.
"Sir, I have money! I have money! Please save me, sir!"
Li Gu was so talked about by Wu Yong that he broke out in cold sweat. Lu Junyi saved his life in his early years and promoted him to be a steward. This was a life-saving and a great favor. Not only did he not repay the favor, he also hooked up with his mistress and framed his master. This was everywhere. A heinous crime.
