Liu Zhenbang cupped his hands and said: "Then it depends on what goal the big leader wants to achieve. The big leader has laid down a path, and both parties can sit down and discuss it carefully."
Wanyan Agu said with a big smile: "Don't you understand my goal? I want to capture Bianliang City, destroy your Zhou Dynasty, and become the lord of the world. This is my goal."
Liu Zhenbang smiled bitterly and smacked his lips and said: "Big boss, if you want to discuss, you must be sincere. If both parties are not sincere, then what is the point of talking?"
Wanyan Agu said with a big smile: "It's you who want to discuss, not me. I don't want you to discuss with us. I, the Jurchen, have always seen the truth on the battlefield. Unlike you, we are not used to bargaining at the negotiation table.
.Defeat the opponent on the battlefield and capture the city and land. This is our negotiation."
Liu Zhenbang frowned and groaned, with an embarrassed look on his face. It was like a scholar meeting a soldier, with a feeling of inexplicable reason. When most people reach this point, they would have already stood up and left, because the other party's attitude has nothing to talk about. But Liu Zhenbang is super
He could bear it because he shouldered Lu Zhongtian's entrustment and must negotiate terms with the Jurchens this time, so he could not leave.
"Big Chief, when my Mr. Lu counted all the heroes in the world, he called him an unparalleled hero. An unparalleled hero should have the mind and deeds of a hero. If the great chief insists on going his own way and refuses to compromise at all, then he may be brave and reckless.
With the current strength of your troops and horses, I have already said before that the consequences of a strong attack on Bianliang may not be the best strategy. Those who are brave and foolhardy are not true heroes. I hope the leader will think twice." Liu Zhenbang mustered up his courage and said in a deep voice.
.
Wanyan Aguda was not unhappy because the other party said that he was brave and foolhardy. This was the second time Liu Zhenbang mentioned Lu Zhongtian's words about the heroes of the world. Instead, he was quite interested in the heroes Lu Zhongtian talked about.
"Does your Prime Minister Lu like to judge people very much? He calls me a hero? I would like to know who else besides me is a hero in his opinion. You might as well tell me." Wanyan Agu laughed.
Liu Zhenbang cupped his hands and said: "My Prime Minister Lu is calm and resolute, he knows a lot about people, he is a man of great intelligence, and he thinks highly of himself. There are very few people in the world who can be admired by Prime Minister Lu and be praised by Prime Minister Lu.
There are very few people who can be called heroes. However, on that day, Prime Minister Lu’s birthday, there were a few people at the banquet who can be called heroes of the world. One of them is your leader Wanyan. My Prime Minister Lu said,
Chief Wanyan is an unparalleled hero. He was born in a remote mountain tribe. He rose to prominence in the world in a few years on his own. With the weakest force, he moved between the two powerful forces of the Zhou Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and finally achieved his own success. This is
It is not only an act of bravery, but also an act of extraordinary wisdom. No matter what the final result is, this act alone is worthy of the word "unparalleled hero."
Wanyan Aguda laughed and nodded: "When you say that, I really have some abilities. I am not humble either. If I, Wanyan Aguda, cannot be called a hero, who in the world would dare to be so."
Liu Zhenbang nodded and said: "Exactly. However, Chief Wanyan is not the person that my family Lu Xiang admires the most. However, in the list of heroes listed by my family Lu Xiang, he is already ranked second.
"
Liu Zhenbang was suddenly startled to talk too much, and said in front of Wanyan Aguda that he was not the most powerful person, fearing that it would offend him. He quickly shut up, but it was already too late. The words had already been spoken, Wanyan Aguda
I also listened carefully.
Wanyan Agu glared at Liu Zhenbang and said, "Oh? There is also a ranking? I would like to hear the details."
Liu Zhenbang said helplessly: "There is a small ranking, but Lu Xiang said that it is just the ranking in his own mind. In fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The ranking is just a joke. Just take it as a joke."
Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice: "I want to know, tell me. I'll just take it as a joke."
Liu Zhenbang could only nod his head and said: "Okay. Lu Xiang said the other day that there are not many people in the Zhou Dynasty who can be called heroes. The two adults, Yan Zhengshen and Fang Dunru, who promoted the reform back then, can be called heroes. Because,
These two men were resolute and determined, with a will as strong as a rock. The obstacles to the reform were huge, but these two still worked hard to open up a new path and briefly opened up the situation. Although the reform was not necessarily a good thing, these two were too stubborn.
, they don’t know how to adapt. But their heroic spirit of working hard for one thing, even committing suicide in the end, makes people moved. Lu Xiang said, these two people can be called heroes."
Wanyan Aguda nodded slowly. He had heard a lot about Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru from Wanyan Mingyue. Wanyan Mingyue only returned to the tribe from Bianliang three years ago. Regarding the new law changes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wanyan Aguda nodded slowly.
Naturally, Wanyan Agu also told Wanyan Agu in detail. Wanyan Agu naturally also knew the deeds of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru.
"I'm not familiar with these two people, but I have heard about it. The Great Zhou Dynasty's reform was carried out with great vigor. These two people eventually died for the cause they pursued. They were also strong people. They were said to be heroes, but they did not do anything for them.
Pass." Wanyan Agu Avenue.
"These two people are ranked at the bottom because they don't know how to adapt, are too strong-willed, and are too stubborn. This is also the reason why Prime Minister Lu ranked them at the bottom. Prime Minister Lu said that a hero should know how to advance and retreat, how to be tactful, and how to be tactful.
Know the current affairs." Liu Zhenbang said.
Wanyan Agudao: "Then who else is there?"
Liu Zhenbang said: "The one above them is the late Privy Councilor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jun. Privy Council Yang has been in charge of the military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty for 20 years, which was the most stable military affairs of our Great Zhou Dynasty for 20 years. But this is not what he is praised for.
The reason. Lu Xiang said that when Yang Jun put down the Xixia rebellion, it was no less difficult than the founding of the country. At that time, the support of the imperial court was very small. Yang Jun had less than 150,000 troops, but he faced the Xixia army led by Li Xuanhao.
The coalition forces of various ministries were nearly half a million. Yang Jun insisted on holding on to the situation, defeated Li Xuanhao's cavalry in the final battle, and quelled the Xixia rebellion. That's all. Lu Xiang said that what he admired most about Yang Jun was
The extermination order implemented after the rebellion was suppressed,
The method was ruthless, cruel enough, and brutal enough, but it hit the mark. Since then, the Xixia tribes have been peaceful for nearly ten years because of this order. Those who can achieve such achievements and act so decisively and ruthlessly will not be punished.
It can be called a hero. It's a pity that Yang Jun is very selfish and has a small structure. He appoints private individuals and is stubborn and self-righteous. In the battle against Liao, he stuck to the rules. He rested on his credit book for many years and refused to make progress, and was finally defeated by the Liao people.
This is a big mistake. But looking at his life, he can still be called a 'hero'."
Wanyan Agu nodded and said: "Yang Jun can indeed be regarded as a hero. I know that when he fought against Li Xuanhao's army in Xixia, he invented many combat tactics. After that, both the Liao people and I, the Jurchens, were deeply impressed by it.
Inspired. When I came south this time, I really wanted to fight him. Unfortunately, you, the Zhou Dynasty, killed him yourself. I don’t know what you think. Personally speaking, Yang Jun can defeat a hundred thousand soldiers.
The behavior of your court is really inexplicable."
Liu Zhenbang did not want to say more on this matter, so he continued: "The one above Yang Jun is Prime Minister Lu himself. Prime Minister Lu said that calling himself a hero might be a bit ridiculous, but he said that he had gone through three dynasties and made countless enemies.
This is the ability to travel through the officialdom and remain standing despite the ups and downs. If you don't include yourself in it, the theory of heroism will be unconvincing. Therefore, he himself deserves to be one of them."
Wanyan Agu laughed loudly and said: "Interesting, interesting. Lu Zhongtian is not self-effacing. But he is right. How many people can stand in the court for fifty years like him and still be at the peak of power. He is not
Hero, who is the hero? Hahaha."
Liu Zhenbang smiled and said: "Thank you so much for the recognition from Chief Wanyan. However, Prime Minister Lu said that in terms of merit, he has not made much achievements over the years. Although the responsibility does not lie with Prime Minister Lu, it lies with the late emperor and the current Emperor of Zhou for not listening to good advice. But I
As a prime minister, it is still difficult to escape the blame. Therefore, he can only be ranked in the middle, below the big leaders."
Wanyan Agu laughed loudly and said: "Lu Zhongtian is so humble that he actually listed himself below me. Now I am even more curious about who is the highest ranked one. I guess it must be an emperor. It's you.
Is it Guo Xu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Or is it your late emperor Guo Chong? Or is it Yelu Zongyuan?"
Liu Zhenbang laughed, shook his head and said: "None of them. I said he was a hero of the time, and he who died not long ago certainly counts. But this man is neither an emperor nor a country leader, but he is not very old either. Perhaps he is a hero in the Zhou Dynasty and even in the northern part of Liao Kingdom.
He is not well-known, but he is highly praised by Prime Minister Lu. This man's surname is Lin, and his single name is the word 'Jue'."
"Lin...Jue? Are you talking about him?" Wanyan Agu cried out in shock.
"What? Could it be that the big leader also knows Lin Jue's name?" Liu Zhenbang asked in surprise.
Wanyan Aguda sneered: "Not only do you know, I have a close relationship with him. But how could it be him? How can he be called a hero? And in Lu Zhongtian's opinion, he ranks higher than me? You
