Chapter 184 Liao People's Mind

Even though he had already known that the other party was not an ordinary person, Sun Tu was still a little surprised after hearing what he said. This fierce general of the Liao Kingdom, who was not only proficient in Chinese, but also had such good eloquence, was too unexpected. If he had changed to someone who was not firm enough and had ideas but could not be able to extend his mind, he might have been moved enough, and even surrendered to the Liao people.

However, Sun Tu only smiled and said, "What kind of virtue can you do? How can you take this seriously? I may know some basic skills, but I am not a talent. Not to mention that I have always been stubborn and often do things without any consequences..."

"Sun Dutou, you are too arrogant. Your martial arts are rare. Even if you are in Daliao, you should be considered the best. However, what you value is not this, but the shortcomings you mentioned. It is precisely because you dare to do these things in Tokyo that I will admire you. Daliao is the one who dares to do things like you!"

Seeing Sun Tu's face with suspicion, he smiled and said, "By the way, I have said so much, I haven't told you about my identity. The Khitan name is Yelu Qiergu, which means arrows in Chinese. You can also call me Yelu Jian. Although I am not a high-ranking official in the Great Liao Dynasty, I am also the most trustworthy person under the throne of the Liao Xingjun Jiedu. As long as I can get my recommendation, you will definitely get important in my Great Liao. Also, I know that you are the most important family in the Han people. As long as you nod and agree, I can think of sending your family to the north to avoid your worries."

These words were enough sincerity. Not only did they reveal their true identity, but they also relieved Sun Tu's worries. To be honest, even he was a little moved.

However, this kind of touch was only a moment. Sun Tu quickly smiled and said, "As far as I know, the country in the Great Liao Dynasty is full of chaos. Not to mention those affiliated tribes that are ready to move, there are already rifts among the monarchs and ministers in the court. In comparison, my Song Dynasty is more peaceful. General Yelu's recruitment statement may not be convincing."

Hearing this, Yelu Jian came to laugh, not only because he didn't bother to be angry, but he laughed, because in his opinion, this was something that Sun Tu had already expressed, otherwise why should he raise doubts? He said at the moment: "My Great Liao seems to be hiding hidden worries now, but in fact it is much better than Song State, especially for a warrior like Sun Dutou, it is more promising in my Great Liao. And it is precisely because some people in China have done too much that my Jiedushi thought about recruiting talents to suppress all parties. In my opinion, you are the most suitable candidate."

After pausing for a moment, he looked somber: "Sun Dutou, can't your previous experience let you recognize the facts? You worked hard for the Song Dynasty court, but what did you get? Another time, you took the initiative to take people for the stability of the Tokyo city, but how did those officials do you? They just want to guarantee their own interests, but no one stood up to speak for you. If we sent people to send someone to say a few words to the Song court, I'm afraid some people will take you down and convict you?"

Sun Tu narrowed his eyes slightly. It sounded like persuasion, but in fact there was a hidden threat. If he really refused to respond to this matter and left without hesitation, he would not have to do anything. As long as he said hello, it would be enough for him to lose money.

However, it was a dream to force Sun Tuzhen to join the Liao Kingdom in this way. Not to mention his sense of belonging in identity, his superficial understanding of history alone was enough to make Sun Tu make a correct choice between the Song and Liao Kingdoms.

Perhaps the Liao Kingdom was still above the Song Dynasty in terms of military strength, but the situation they had to face next was several times more difficult than that in the Song Kingdom, because soon the Jin Kingdom established by the Song and the Jurchens would reach an agreement and then attack the north and south until the Liao Kingdom was completely destroyed. In that case, even if they were time travelers, they still had some unreliable warehouses and properties on them, and they could not resist such historical trends.

Even if we want to change the direction of history, the richer Han country of the Song Dynasty was more reliable than the Liao country, which had only force and was in turmoil.

Although I had made a decision in my heart, Sun Tu still showed a trace of entanglement on his face: "This...is related to my life, and I'm afraid I can't make a decision for a while."

Yelu Jian nodded with clarity: "I can give you time to consider it. Let's do this, you will stay in the embassy these few days, so you don't have to worry about your Song Ting officials causing trouble for you again. You don't have to worry about not being able to explain to them. I will make people mention it to the relevant officials, saying that you just saved me and made a contribution, so I will be with you during the period of my mission in the capital to ensure our safety."

He wanted to force himself to keep himself by his side, but Sun Tu couldn't refuse at this time, otherwise the Liao people would really pursue the injuring of his subordinates if they annoyed him, and his official position would be really impossible to save. Sun Tu, who understood this, could only nod and respond: "I'll disturb you like this."

"Haha, okay, then Sun Dutou, you will definitely see the difference between the Great Liao and Song Kingdoms and make the right choice." Yelu Jian then laughed, and then called someone to lead Sun Tu to settle in the empty room next to him.

Then, Yelu Jian brought people to the back and saw Chen Xiangnan who had calmed down from panic. He kept him behind Sun Tu and told him all his intention to recruit the other party. Chen Xiangnan looked at him with some surprise: "Does Lin Ya value this person so much? It's because of his martial arts?"

"Of course it's not just martial arts, but also his mind and the identity of the Song people." Yelu Jian narrowed his eyes. At this time, in addition to being fierce, he also had a little more unpredictable and profoundness.

Chen Xiangnan looked at him and his heart became nervous. The other party had a special identity and must have his own plan. He did not dare to ask too much, so he could only say, "How should the subordinates cooperate?"

"First, you come forward to express your gratitude to the Song court to Sun Tu. He really saved you, right? So we have to leave him in the embassy for a good hospitality. Second, you can send some people to spread some statements that Sun Tu is closely related to our Liao people. It is best to make the Song people in the city believe that he already has the idea of ​​abandoning Song and joining Liao, and I want to cut off his retreat." Yelu Jian calmly expressed his intention, but Chen Xiangnan felt frightened. This approach was too sinister.

In fact, it would be reasonable if the two countries fought to get rid of the other side's important generals and envoys, but now they use this method for a small ninth-rank military officer, which is a bit despicable no matter how you look at it. But since it was Yelu Jian's intention, he dared not disobey and could only respond in a low voice.

After giving the order, Yelu Jian got up and walked out of the house. At this time, a capable subordinate was waiting there outside. As soon as he saw him, he quickly approached the report: "Lin Ya, the assassin finally told the truth."

"He was not sent by the Song people? No matter how stupid the Song people are, they would never attack us in their own capital." Yelu Jian asked prejudice.

"Yes, he has actually been hiding in the Xixia death 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, Dangxiang people who seemed to be bowing down and surrender had actually been restless. It seems that this time I returned to Shangjing, I should think of hitting them. What about those three people? What is their relationship with the people of Xixia?"

"Xiao Guorang also told everything. He was bought with a lot of money before leaving Shangjing, so that this incident happened after coming to Tokyo. However, he didn't know what those people wanted to do. He just thought that this was our Liao people who wanted to see the officials in the south make a fool of themselves. He didn't know that Lin Ya, you are in the mission."

"Yes, fortunately, he and the people behind him didn't know that I was in the mission, otherwise this assassination would only target me, and not just this person would come. Because in their calculations, as long as the assassination appeared, and there were Song officials on the scene, it would be second to whether it was successful or not. What they had to do was to provoke a dispute between the Song and Liao countries so that Xixia could benefit from it." Yelu Jian said, looking up at the dark sky above his eyes, and slowly let out a sigh: "When I return to Shangjing, it will be the time when these people are destroyed. And we just took this opportunity to clean up some of the ill-hearted guys in the country." As he spoke, murderous aura suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his confidants around him were so shocked that they took a step back.

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

At this point, Sun Tu could only adhere to the principle of being at peace with the time he came, and stayed in the Liao people's mission with peace of mind.

In fact, he also secretly guessed that the other party would have to do something outside that he could not defend, but with his current situation, he seemed to have no other choice.

I really didn't expect that I had tried my best to find a better position when I traveled to the Song Dynasty, but after more than a year in Tokyo, I was still just a ninth-rank military officer and the head of Kaifeng Prefecture who had no real power, and offended a large number of imperial officials because of this. However, the Liao people, who had only met him, thought of using him to reuse himself. Even though there were some hidden secrets behind him, he still felt a bit close to Yelu Jian. At least the other party truly recognized his ability.

"It's a pity that you and I have a different path after all. Maybe they will become enemies in the future, so I can only appreciate your kindness." Sun Tu leaned against the head of the bed, looked at the darkness outside the window and said silently in his heart, as if he was persuading himself not to be moved by the other party's accusation.

Once again, Sun Tu longed to have his own power in his hand, otherwise he would have been able to go with the flow like he is now and become a chess piece that others can tick at will. Perhaps, this time he can get what he wants from the Liao people?
