Chapter 428: Restless ambition

An old servant dressed in a typical old man in the mansion was taking a small step in his house, looking for Zeng Nong's youngest son Zeng Sheng all over the world. Judging from his behavior and dress, he could not see any Jurchen characteristics on him. In fact, this is a true portrayal of a tiny microcosm in Zengtou City. Apart from the certain characteristics contained in his bones, it is difficult to find out the difference between them and ordinary people of the Song Dynasty from their appearance and language.

"Fifth Master, the master and the uncle are discussing major events in the backyard, and they are calling you to go!" Finally, he was looking for the youngest son Zeng, who was the favorite of Elder Zeng, on the martial arts training ground. The old servant took a breath and hurriedly reported.

When Zeng Sheng saw that, he didn't ask what it was. He threw the spear in his hand towards the tutor and went to the backyard alone. As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw his father and his elder brother arguing about something. Zeng Sheng hurriedly met and greeted the two of them separately. Zeng Nong pointed at his younger son and said to his elder son: "What do you don't understand? Just ask your brother!"

Zeng Tu looked at Zeng Sheng in confusion and asked, "Lao Wu, you go back and take a boat to buy stallions in the north. Let me tell me the truth, have you been to Liaodi?"

"Yes! What's wrong?" Zeng Sheng blurted out and replied to his brother's questioning, he subconsciously looked at Elder Zeng. Seeing his calm expression, he nodded slightly in front of his eyes. Zeng Sheng instantly understood what his father meant, lowered his head to ponder for a moment, and then he calmly said to his elder brother's confusing gaze: "It was indeed still in Liao at that time, but now, it is probably the place where I Jurchen fishing, hunting and grazing!"

Zeng Tu was shocked when he heard this and said incredible: "The Liao Kingdom has a vast territory and a population of tens of millions. It has been a huge blow to the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. I have paid tribute and seeking softness. How many people can we Jurchens have to fight with the Liao Dynasty!?"

Zeng Sheng smiled contemptuously and pointed to the north with passion:

"Brother, you have been living in the Central Plains for a long time, so naturally I don't know what happened outside! At this time, a great hero named Wanyan Aguda, who took over as Dubojilie (the Jurchen chief) in the third year of Zhenghe. From then on, the hard days of Liaogou and the days of our Jurchens being proud of us came! The next year, our clan members defeated the Liao army in Ningjiang Prefecture. This was the first time that our Jurchen people raised an army against Liao. They won the first battle. They shot and killed the Liao general Yelu Xieshi in the field battle. When they attacked the city, they captured the Great Medicine Master Slave of the Defense Envoy and repelled Xiao Tabuye! From then on, Jiangning Prefecture did not belong to Liao!"

"Is it a rise to break through the small border state?" Zeng Tu said with wide eyes: "Not long ago, Liangshanpo broke through the Daming Mansion of the Song Dynasty's accompaniment capital of Beijing. Do you dare to say that Wang Lun has the strength to replace Zhao Song? The Da Song Dynasty is about to collapse?"

Seeing that the fifth brother looked at him and didn't say anything, Zeng Tu felt that his words had been too much. After all, it was a great victory for his distant and ethereal tribe member. He immediately relaxed and said:

"Old Wu, calm down. You don't remember that Master once said that a small victory may not change the overall situation. The people of our tribe are not as good as the people of the Liao Prefecture. Even if everyone fights, they are really an opponent of the Liao Kingdom. There is an excellent example in front of you. You didn't hear that Liangshanbo quickly retreated after he got the city. Master also said that Wang Lun was clear-headed. If the Song Dynasty took him seriously, it would be too late to regret it!"

Zeng Sheng laughed loudly when he heard this, and laughed so hard that Zeng Tu was puzzled and looked at his father in confusion. Zeng Nong shook his head and sighed: "After we have been in Song State for a long time, the blood on our bodies has been eroded. Only Lao Wu, the only one of my five sons, looks the most like the Jurchens!"

Zeng Tu felt so nervous when he heard his father's words that he was about to make excuses, but Zeng Sheng said, "Brother, we were born in Song State, have we been assimilated by the Sheep-like Song people? If we are all as cowardly as the Song people, when will our tribe members come forward?"

"A small victory cannot determine the overall situation, but a critical victory was a big victory, but Liao Gou was scared. From then on, he did not dare to underestimate my Jurchen people directly!" Zeng Sheng said this, a sense of pride came from his heart and continued: "After the Battle of Ningjiangzhou, Liao Gou attached importance to our tribe, and took revenge several months later, but it ended in failure!" At this point, Zeng Sheng saw his brother talking to him again, so he didn't understand what he was thinking? It is important to know that his master Shi Wengong talked to the five brothers about the details of the Daming Mansion battle with them in his spare time, and immediately raised his hand to interrupt him:

"I know my brother used Liang Shanbo as an example! Yes, my tribe members wiped out only 20,000 to 30,000 in these two battles, and they could not hurt the Liao Dynasty's vitality at all! But listen to me and finish it!"

Zeng Tu called Zeng Sheng to stop him, and simply stopped talking, and said angrily: "You say you say!"

Zeng Sheng smiled and stopped keeping his cover at the moment, saying bluntly: "After that the Liao lord set up 700,000 elite troops in the country to lead the army in person, but the result was that! He was annihilated in Budagang, and our army was less than 20,000 people at that time! Brother, are you unhappy as a descendant of the Jurchens when you heard about this?"

Looking at his brother who was slapped with a big mouth, Zeng Sheng was extremely proud and said carelessly: "By the way, I forgot to say that just before the Battle of Bubu Dagang, Wanyan Aguda had officially established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, and his country was called Dajin!"

"Although the iron is strong, it has become decayed. Only gold lasts forever and will never be damaged!" Zeng's high-pitched voice sounded at the eardrums of the two, giving the best footnote to the conversation.

"Really... there are really 700,000 Liao troops?" Zeng Tu was still immersed in the shocking news just now and could not extricate himself. At this time, he looked at his little brother who was arrogant but never lie to prove it. To be honest, Jianbu Jianguo was nothing in his heart, nor was it that shocking. After all, there were countless emerging forces that were destruction in the blink of an eye. The most important thing is whether you have the strength to protect this newly built country.

"It's not all the Liao army. I guess there are many vassals of the Fan Han army! But no matter what, it is unquestionable that the elite field soldiers of the Liao Kingdom lost all of them in this battle! From then on, they were like the exquisite dishes on the tables of the Song people. When to eat and how to eat, it depends on the wishes of our emperor! Since then, the northern girl is Zhizhi, the southern girl is Zhizhi, the Changbai Mountain girl is Zhizhi, the Yalu River girl is Zhizhi, the coastal girl is Zhizhi, the Huanglong Mansion Jurchen, the Hesu Pavilion Jurchen, the Hue Kingdom Jurchen, the Huiba Jurchen has his own real master!"

Zeng Sheng looked at his eldest brother with a smile. At this time, no one would think of the player emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Elder Zeng nodded to his younger son with a smile and said, "It is not easy for our tribe to survive, and it is scattered in the vast area between the Black Water and White Mountains. Even if it is all added up, it is not as good as the 11th day of the Liao people, let alone the Han people. So we have to join together to keep warm in order to go further! Boss, do you understand what I mean?"

Zeng Tu came back to his senses from his initial shock. When he heard his father's question, he said: "We are 100,800 miles away from there, how can we keep warm? We have been out for more than a hundred years, and it's still the same thing whether they recognize us or not!"

"How can we go when our ancestors come from! This is a trivial matter! Let's say that there are 3,000 households in my market, with a population of less than 20,000. I never intermarry with the Han people. The blood of the Jurchens is bleed! And there are 5,700 soldiers and horses. Since Wanyan Aguda is a hero of a generation, he can naturally weigh our weight! I didn't think about the reason for the contact, but now I asked Yu Baosi to send it up?"

Elder Zeng smiled and calmly told his younger son the origin of the jade seal to his younger son. Zeng Sheng was overjoyed and took his father's hand and said, "Dad, is this thing fidelity?"

Zeng Tu said: "Why would you ask a few scholars to appraise?"

"What does the scholar know, but instead leak the news!" Zeng Sheng shook his head and rejected.

Elder Zeng waved his hand and said, "Although I am not sure of determining the authenticity of this thing, I do not believe it is forged! But this matter cannot be standardized by the judgment of me, an outsider. After all, it is to be presented to our Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom. If a mistake is made, it will ruin our future!"

"What should I do? Lao Wu, Master said you have the most ideas and are more capable than us. Think of a way out quickly!" Zeng Tu said anxiously.

Zeng Sheng didn't want to have a clever plan to solve the current predicament, but he really had no idea for a moment, but he just kept silent. Zeng Tu was impatient. Seeing that it was not a head, he couldn't help but complain: "We have raised horses and sold horses for Song Dynasty for generations, and life is very comfortable. You insist on being smart and going to buy horses in the north. Now, you have a broad vision and have too many things to do. You have to call us dogs and eat hedgehogs, and you have no idea how to start! If you want me to say, just give it to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! We still raise horses, why do you do so much leisure? When Wanyan Aguda comes to Song State, we will talk about it!"

"If Liangshan hadn't harvested horses in the past two years and swept through several horse prisons in Daming Mansion, would we lack good horse breeding? I went crazy and went to the barren land thousands of miles away? Besides, since we have the intention to return, do you think it's better to add icing on the cake or help in time? Even if you take a step back, as you said, we should return the jade seal to the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so we should first argue the authenticity? The Song people have too many legal principles, so sending a fake one is called the crime of deceiving the king!"

Zeng Sheng was still feeling aggrieved and had nowhere to say anything. He heard his elder brother standing and talking without complaining about the pain in his back, and he couldn't help it.

Seeing this, Zeng Nong scolded the boss for being ignorant and comforted his younger son's emotions. Zeng Tu said helplessly: "I am a rough man. I don't think about the long-term without Lao Wu. Isn't it okay? But now I have to come up with a solution. Yu Baosi will live in our house, and this matter will not be hidden for a long time!"

"Yu Baosi's group was delicious and delicious, and said that Liu Zhizhou had not returned, so he delayed it first! In addition, no one should talk about this, including your master and Su Ding!" Zeng said in a fixed tone.

"Master is also hiding it?" Zeng Tu was stunned. Over the years, Shi Wengong and the Zeng family have had a very good relationship. His father has never ordered him so seriously, and he immediately said unsolved.

"The Han people have a saying that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different! We used to live on the Song Kingdom, and there was no fundamental conflict, so they would naturally be safe and stable, but if..." Zeng sighed halfway through, and did not finish his words.
