Chapter Twelve My Name is Ma Kuo
"Tell me, is there a Jin army nearby?" The man behind him poked the sharp weapon in his hand. Li Hu was so painful that he almost screamed.
"Yes, yes, in Weizhou and Yizhou, one or two hundred miles away from here." Li Hu participated in the military convention in the afternoon, and he had heard of this.
"Who is the head coach of the Jin army?"
"Nianhan, Wushu."
"Whose army is closest to here?"
"Wu Shu."
"Wu Shu? Is the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom? That's great." The man behind him said in surprise.
The fourth prince, Wu Shu... Li Hu suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, and he remembered that the matter of joining Jin to attack Liao was told by his father.
My father likes to tell stories, and he grew up listening to his father's stories. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Romance of the Gods", "The King of the Western Chu", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The General of the Yang Family", "Water Margin", "The Biography of Yue Fei"... There are too many, because I hear too much, and I can recite these stories myself. The fourth prince Wushu and the son of Wanyan Aguda, isn't that Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu captured Tokyo, abducted the two emperors, and created the Jingkang disaster. He is a big bad guy. No wonder I heard the name Wushu familiar, it turned out to be a person in "The Biography of Yue Fei".
I remember when my father talked about "The Legend of Yue Fei", he mentioned this matter. Joining Jin to attack Liao should be the "Sea Alliance"?
No, no, he laughed silently. The "Biography of Yue Fei" told by my father is a story, a story he made up, and it has nothing to do with reality. This fourth prince Wu Shu may be a coincidence, and his name is the same.
"Tell me how to escape from this valley?" the man behind him asked sternly.
If I knew, would it be necessary to ask you to meet in the middle of the night? I had already run away, but it was obviously not possible to say this. What should I do? Li Hu was anxious, and he couldn't come up with an idea in his heart, so he hurriedly had nothing to say and delayed the time, "Hey, is the emperor of the Jin Kingdom called Wanyan Aguda?"
"Nonsense, don't you know? Of course, his name is Wanyan Aguda."
"Wu Shu has his biggest opponent, named Yue Fei. Do you know? I heard that he is from the Song Dynasty." Li Hu went to the "Biography of Yue Fei".
"I don't know." The man behind him sneered, thinking, you can pull it out, I see what you can pull out, anyway, I want to kill you to silence you, but you have a high status, and killing you will be full of dangers. I must escape before they find your body. Since you don't have much time, let you say a little more, which is my kindness.
"Do you know Zong Ze? I heard that he discovered Yue Fei as a talent."
"I haven't heard of it."
"Have you heard of Qin Hui? He is a treacherous minister, and Yue Fei was killed by him."
The man behind him didn't say anything. Li Hu thought he was impatient and was about to take action, so he hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, I'm thinking, this place is not my home, so how can I go out if I want to go out?" This is the truth. In addition to the rebels, there are also their families in this valley, with tens of thousands of people. If the location leaks and the Liao army surrounded them, they will die without a burial place. Therefore, it is of course extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit the valley.
"How did you know Qin Hui?" A hint of surprise appeared in the voice of the man behind him.
There was really this person. Li Hu was also surprised, but then he laughed it off. Since there was a coincidence of Jin Wushu in "The Legend of Yue Fei" and in reality, of course, there was also a coincidence of Qin Hui. What's the difference between the name?
"You know?"
"He was a Jinshi from the previous year."
Is this treacherous minister still a Jinshi? Li Hu had already confused "The Biography of Yue Fei" with reality at this time.
"Where is Li Gang? Do you know Li Gang? He is a famous general who resisted the Jin Dynasty."
"Do you still know Li Gang?" The young man behind him was really surprised, "He was a Jinshi in Zhenghe for the second year."
Is there really this person? Li Hu was also surprised. There are too many coincidences. Did my father compile all the big names he knew into the story? But how could he know the names of these big names?
=
"What year is Zhenghe's second year?"
"It was five years ago." The man behind him asked curiously, "How did you know Li Gang and Qin Hui? Could it be that your Liaodong rebel army had spies in the Song Dynasty?" Then he felt that this was impossible. With the national strength of the Song Dynasty, he could not do this. The news spread about the establishment of the Jurchens in Liaodong, the Han people who fled from Liaodong to Dengzhou (Shandong) spread, otherwise the court would not know at all.
"Do you have traitors in the Liao court?" This matter must be asked clearly. If Li Hu spread the Song Dynasty's attempt to join forces with Jin to attack Liao through these people, the plan to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would be ruined.
"I have no idea."
"I won't say I'll kill you." The man seemed impatient, and the sharp weapon in his hand stepped up a little.
Li Hu felt the blood in his vest and his life was almost over. At this moment, he could no longer feel the pain, his heart was extremely frightened, and his mind was in chaos. Forget it, tell him his story, believe it or not.
"My identity is fake. I am not Li Hong's son." Li Hu ran away from his hometown and his father from his hometown. After more than ten years of escape, his father disappeared. He went down the mountain to search for it, and then he was confused about becoming the son of the king. He told everything about everything.
"There are only you who know these things except Tieying and I." Li Hu smiled bitterly, "You should believe me. Think about it, can I speak a Bianjing dialect, can the Han people in Liaodong say it? Even if he can say it, he has a Liaodong accent? Also, if I were not from the Song Dynasty, I would have caught you last night. I would have found a few horse dealers from the Song Dynasty, and I am still able to capture it. Can you still live until now? Tell you the truth, I am not interested in the son of the king and the great cause of the Han Dynasty. I am from the Song Dynasty, and I want to go home. I have been away for so many years. Whether it is an enemy or a native of the village, I have long forgotten me, and I am safe, and it is time to go home, so let's run together, and then you bring me back to the Song Dynasty, okay? No matter what, I am sure to help you escape as the son of Li Hong. I have made contributions after escaping. With this contribution, you should also take me back."
The man behind him kept listening quietly. After Li Hu finished speaking, he thought about it for a long time, and Li Hu could only pray secretly to God for help.
After a long time, the man walked out from behind Li Hu and squatted in front of Li Hu. This man was about twenty years old, tall and broad, with a handsome appearance, and had a pair of heroic eyes under his sword eyebrows. His temperament was steady, giving people a feeling of being neither shocked by honor and disgrace, neither humble nor arrogant.
He smiled at Li Hu, "My name is Ma Kuo."
Shitie, you finally showed your face. Li Hu realized from the other party's smile that the crisis had passed, and his fear in his heart immediately dropped three points. He was worried that the other party would change his mind again, so he hurried to strike while the iron was hot, "If I guess it's good, they will definitely go out to the mountain to meet other rebels recently, either going south to meet Zhang Guanyu, or going north to meet Hu Liuge and Zhang Gaoer. As long as I find a way to recruit you into the Hu Lie Army, we can go out together."
Ma Kuo nodded with a smile, "We will talk about this later. Now I want you to make a swearing swear to you about the connection with Jin to attack Liao, you cannot reveal it to anyone."
Li Hu opened his mouth and said, "If it leaks, five horses will be dismembered, and five horses will be dismembered from generation to generation." He swears to me that it is equivalent to farting. If I am happy, I will not say it. When I am unhappy, I will tell you to everyone. Just fight with me, you are still a little tender, and you don't think about how I grew up.
"Since you believe me, then let me loose." Li Hu said happily. At this moment, he realized that he was sweating profusely and his whole body was almost wet.
"I don't believe you." Ma Kuo sat cross-legged and said lightly.
What? Li Hu stared at him with wide eyes, not believing what I said? Do you want to kill me?
"Let's talk about a condition. If you agree, I will let you go."
Li Hu was so angry that he wanted to curse, "Good boy, you are cruel. Now I hold it in my palms, and I can only obey your mercy. When I get rid of the problem, I will have to kill you."

"I'm sure you are the son of Li Hong, the son of Li Hong who is just a fake one."
Li Hu was dizzy and almost cried. After a long time, Ma Kuo came to this conclusion. He didn't believe the truth, but instead believed in lies more. What about my mother? What should I do?
"It is not uncommon to be able to speak Bianjing dialect. This time I was on an envoy, and I also brought people who could speak Jurchen. What is this evidence? Li Gang, although Qin Hui was a Jinshi, he was not very famous in my Song Dynasty. But you know that you are not an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary citizen of the Song Dynasty."
Li Hu was stupid. I took out the people in "The Legend of Yue Fei" and made a fool of myself. This kid not only believed it, but also became evidence to prove that I was not a native of the Song Dynasty. This is really a handful of rice that would be lost without stealing a chicken. He would not live if he committed a sin.
Ma Kuo was very confident and believed in his judgment. He looked at Li Hu and continued, "With your identity and your wit, after hearing that words last night, you must have your own plan, so you didn't arrest me and asked me to meet in the evening. But I don't know if you leaked the secrets about the Song Dynasty's preparations to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao, so I want to ask."
Li Hu sneered at it. Ask a question? You are also called asking a question? You deliberately wanted to kill me, do you think I don’t know?
The expression on Li Hu's face did not escape Ma Kuo's eyes, "Of course, I want to kill you, but your status is different, and the consequences of killing you are serious. I must carefully weigh the gains and losses. Just when I was swaying, you made up a moving story in order to get rid of danger."
Story? Why is this a story? This is the fact. The thief is in a traitor, black and white are inverted, God doesn’t have eyes, should the sun appear tonight?
"This story is very exciting. From this story, I learned a lot from it. After careful consideration, I concluded that you are sincere, so I gave up killing you." Ma Kuo chuckled slightly, showing a look of praise, "You have successfully convinced me, and have not yet revealed your true thoughts. Gao Ming, worthy of being the son of the king. I admire him. Now, I want to know, what are you going to talk to me?"
What to talk about? Of course, it was about running away, but Ma Kuo had already determined his own judgment. Besides, the person didn't believe it at all. Oh, what should I say? Li Hu was stunned for a long time, and really didn't know what to say.
"You may have concerns, because this is the old camp of the Montenegro Army, or you are still wary of me and are unwilling to be honest. Let's do this, I say, you just nod or shake your head."
