Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Otherwise, the barbarians will become cunning,"

"They'll be even harder to deal with."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Whether they are savages or barbarians,"

"Our Great Liang is not like the Liao Kingdom,"

"As long as they dare to disrespect my Great Liang,"

"We must wipe them out, no matter the cost."

Zhao Yuan's confidence eased the tension in the soldiers' nerves somewhat.

The army marched through the mountains for a while.

Then they saw the scouts galloping towards them.

"Report! A golden man has been spotted ahead!"

Zhao Yuan said to Duan Jingzhu,

"Go and ask the Jin people,"

"Where is Yan Aguda now?"

Duan Jingzhu also learned the Jurchen language.

I came here to act as a translator.

Upon hearing this, he followed the scout forward.

Before long, Duan Jingzhu returned with a Jin soldier to report.

"Wanyan Aguda arrived at Wild Fox Ridge yesterday,"

"They set up camp in a ravine ahead,"

"Please let us go there to meet you."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."

"Let him lead the way."

The group traveled through the valley for a while.

Then a dozen or so Jurchen women came to greet them.

Each of them had scars all over their foreheads, just like Wanyan Zongwang.

The older a person is, the more funerals they attend.

The more scars you get, the more scars you'll have.

There are also a few that I don't know if they were cut off themselves as a sacrifice of blood and tears.

He was wounded on the battlefield.

Not only is there a scar on his forehead,

He has several knife scars on his face.

It looked particularly ferocious.

Moreover, all of these dozen or so people were broad-shouldered and burly.

They can all be described as beasts in human form.

The impact of Wanyan Zongwang and his two companions on the crowd was not yet too great.

But when dozens of people with scarred faces appeared together...

People's feelings inevitably changed.

If thousands of people with scarred faces appeared,

No need for war,

Just looking at it would probably drive anyone crazy.

The Jurchens number less than ten thousand, but are invincible if they number ten thousand.

Perhaps it's not about the fighting strength of the Jurchens,

It refers to the terrifying appearance of the Jurchen people.

The Jurchens were originally like savages.

They were all born with a rugged appearance.

They don't even know how to take care of themselves yet.

Unshaven beard,

Wearing wild boar tusks around the neck

The hat had the tail of some unknown animal on it.

In addition, his forehead was covered in scars.

Even civilized people would feel some fear upon seeing this.

It was as if I had seen a ferocious beast.

Li Kui was born vicious.

Even in Daliang, it was considered oddly shaped.

But in the Jin Dynasty, they would be considered normal people.

At least none of these dozen or so people were as pleasing to the eye as Li Kui.

Perhaps Li Kui would still be considered handsome if he went to the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin soldiers who led the way for the group

Seeing the people in front,

Immediately dismount from the saddle.

"Our emperor personally came to welcome them."

When Zhao Yuan heard that it was Wanyan Aguda,

Then he made everyone dismount.

He came forward with Hua Rong, Li Kui, Sun An, Shi Bao, and Fang Jie.

Lin Chong, leading five commanders—Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Zhu Tong, Liu Tang, and Suo Chao—to take over Datong Prefecture.

Zhao Yuan only sent four generals from his tent and Hua Rong with his personal guards to the appointment.

Chapter 1561 King vs. King

Wanyan Aguda was already fifty-four years old.

His hair has turned gray.

Although his health is not as good as before,

But when he walks, he has a powerful and energetic stride.

He looked like the best among the wild men.

The two groups of people were about ten feet apart.

Wanyan Aguda then imitated the Han people by clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Although Wanyan Aguda wanted to create Jurchen culture,

But in the eyes of the savages,

Han Chinese culture will always be the noblest.

No matter how much the savages promote their culture,

They were all afraid that the Han people would look down on them.

Therefore, Wanyan Aguda also learned some Han Chinese etiquette.

Zhao Yuan was unwilling to be the first to surrender.

Although Wanyan Aguda was old

However, the Central Plains has always been a superior nation.

The two countries will hold a hunt.

There was no reason for Da Liang to be the first to pay his respects.

However, seeing Wanyan Aguda clasp his hands in greeting...

Zhao Yuan clasped his hands in greeting and smiled.

"I have long admired the name of the King of Jin."

"Today's meeting proves you are indeed a hero."

Wanyan Aguda couldn't understand Zhao Yuan's words.

They could only wait for Wanyan Xiyin, who was fluent in both Khitan and Chinese, to finish translating.

Then he chattered on and on.

Duan Jingzhu also acted as Zhao Yuan's translator.

The two exchanged a few forced pleasantries.

Wanyan Aguda then turned to the side.

He made a gesture of invitation.

Invite Zhao Yuan and his party into the camp.

The camp was surrounded by Jin soldiers.

Wanyan Aguda's thousand guards

Apart from one hundred men patrolling around the camp.

The rest of the people assembled at the camp.

Welcoming the arrival of King Liang of Daliang.

Nine hundred men with scarred faces stood there.

As expected, this dealt another significant blow to the soldiers of Liang.

The soft fear the hard.

The strong fear the cunning.

Even the most ruthless are afraid of those who are fearless.

Even the most reckless are afraid of a madman.

Nine hundred men with scarred faces stood there.

It was as if the gates of hell had opened.

It's like releasing all the demons and monsters.

After Zhao Yuan saw Wanyan Aguda's guards,

Without a doubt,

If he forms an army,

If your entire face is burned,

The two armies faced off.

His appearance alone could reduce the enemy's fighting power by 50%.

"kill!"

Li Kui was overwhelmed by the murderous aura of the nine hundred savages.
