Chapter 691 Yuan Shurong
In the depths of the Wang family's mansion, Wang Chong finally met the person he was looking forward to. This is a middle-aged scribe in his forties or fifties, wearing a white robe, with five willows and long beards, with a weak temperament, and looks like he will fall down when the wind blows.
"I've seen Lord Hou!"
Seeing Wang Chong and the eagle walking in together, the middle-aged scribe hurriedly bowed down and saluted tremblingly. He didn't even dare to breathe, and kept his eyes on the ground.
Obviously, he didn't know why Gao Juelong's protégé of the Son of Heaven, the young Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, would summon his unknown and insignificant teacher.
"Master Hou, according to Master Hou's instructions, we searched the entire capital, and finally found him in an unremarkable Taoist temple. At that time, he was already carrying his luggage and preparing to go hiking. As long as we are a little later, he It's already gone."
Wei Guo, Wei Wu said from the side.
Obviously, the two of them didn't know why Wang Chong let them search all over the city for such a helpless middle-aged man, and also spent so much time and energy.
Wang Chong ignored Wei Guo and Wei Wu. From the moment he stepped into the gate, his eyes had been on the middle-aged scribe.
"I didn't expect to be able to find him."
Wang Chong's eyes were bright, and he was very excited.
Although the middle-aged scribe in front of him seemed unknown, he was famous in another field. Wang Chong had few admirers, but the middle-aged scribe in front of him definitely belonged to one of them.
"You are Yuan Shurong?"
Wang Chong said expectantly.
"The villain is right. To be summoned by Lord Hou, the villain is lucky! I just don't know what the matter is that Lord Hou summoned the villain?"
Yuan Shurong's face was full of sincerity and fear. This was the first time he saw a "big man" of this level, and he felt very uneasy.
"Hahaha, it's really him!"
At this moment, Wang Chong was certain in his mind that his name was Yuan Shurong, and he still had a five-willow long beard. The person in front of him was exactly the same as the one he had heard in the legends. He was definitely the "Master Yuan".
In the Tang Dynasty, out of contempt for Yi Di, few people learned the language of Fan people, so Wang Chong's ability to speak poisonous language and Uz Tibetan language shocked so many people.
Even Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang felt incredible.
However, Wang Chong didn't think so, "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle." If you want to defeat Yidi, you must learn their language, understand them, and know their reality, instead of rejecting them and blinding your own eyes and ears.
This was said by an old man who taught Wang Chongshen poisonous language and Uz Tibetan language, and this sentence came from Yuan Shurong in front of him.
Although almost no one in the imperial court or among the dignitaries knew of this Yuan Shurong, as long as it was related to the Western Regions, especially among the teachers in the capital and the silk merchants in the Western Regions, this Yuan Shurong was well-known.
Not only because he can speak twenty-three languages, and he is proficient in Turkic, Uzbekistan, Mengshe Zhao, Goguryeo, Dashi, Tiaozhi, and the languages of the Western Regions, but also because he has excellent teaching skills. Extremely powerful talent.
He has taught old people, children, Taoist priests, nuns, women, salesmen, butchers... Almost everyone has learned a language or two from him, and it only takes a month or two.
Almost all the most powerful language masters in later generations came from his disciples, including the old man who taught Wang Chongshen's poisonous language and U-Si Tibetan language.
However, this Master Yuan only stayed in Beijing for a few years before going to the Western Regions, and it is said that he finally died there.
Wang Chong was quite sorry when he heard about it. If Datang could pay more attention to this Master Yuan earlier, learn more about the surrounding countries, and pay more attention to the rising Dashi and Tiaozhi, maybe everything will be fine. very different.
To know more about the powerful people around Datang, there must be a large number of talents who understand each other's language, especially those who know how to teach, and Master Yuan is such a person.
As long as you give him a little help and a stage, he will definitely be able to cultivate a large number of talents and assist Datang to understand all the surrounding countries.
But Wang Chong searched the entire capital and looked for him everywhere, not just for this, because deep in Wang Chong's heart was a bigger plan:
From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Qin and Han Dynasties to the current Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were divided and united, gaining and losing, always in the process of repeated occupation and loss, but for the Central Plains, the countries of the Western Regions have never had much Feelings.
And the key to solving all of this, avoiding this constant cycle of occupation and loss, is language. Because of the language barrier, there is a lack of communication, no understanding, and naturally there is no relationship.
But if the two sides can communicate freely from top to bottom, from high-level generals to low-level soldiers, then everything will be completely different.
If you understand what kind of Zhongtu is and what kind of Tang Dynasty is, the feelings of people in the Western Regions towards Zhongtu will be completely different.
To achieve this, it is not to teach the people of the Tang Dynasty the language of the Western Regions, but to teach the language of the Tang Dynasty to the people of the Western Regions, so that it can be done once and for all.
But first, someone who knows the language of the Western Regions must be taught.
And Yuan Shurong was the key person Wang Chong found to solve this problem.
"Master, it was Wang Chong who was being rude, but I would like to ask, do you really know twenty-three languages?"
Wang Chong said.
When Yuan Shurong heard the words, he couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. It is true that he can speak a lot of languages, but even the people around him may not know that he can speak twenty-three languages, so how does the famous old man in front of him know? And it's such a small thing.
"Exactly."
Although Yuan Shurong was surprised, he didn't dare to neglect his answer at all.
"I don't know how Master has learned so many languages?"
Wang Chong smiled and his eyes became softer.
"Well, when the villain was young, he was young and frivolous, he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and his family was relatively rich, so for a period of time, he went unrestrained and went deep into the Western Regions. language."
Yuan Shurong said.
"Have you ever been to Dashi?"
Wang Chong was a little surprised.
"Exactly, I lived there for a while."
"how long?"
"About two years."
Yuan Shurong blushed slightly.
Looking at Yuan Shurong's reaction, Wang Chong was thoughtful. When this young man traveled around and arrived in Dashi, it might not be as simple as staying for a while.
"In other words, you should know a lot about Dashi?"
Wang Chong said.
"The villain has a little understanding."
Yuan Shurong was stunned, looking at the young boy Hou in front of him, he understood his intentions in a trance:
"Dashi is completely different from our Middle Earth. Their territory is huge. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's similar to our Great Tang."
"Almost? Are you trying to say that it is bigger than our Tang Dynasty?"
Wang Chong said.
Yuan Shurong's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Wang Chong with surprise in his eyes. In Datang, everyone thinks that Datang is the largest country in the world, and the impression of Dashi is that it is a small country similar to Goguryeo.
Even the people in Honglu Temple are like this, let alone other people. He dared to say that Dashi's territory was about the same as that of Middle Earth, which was already very bold, but he did not expect that Wang Chong would directly say that Dashi's territory was larger than Datang's.
This is the first time Yuan Shurong has encountered such a powerful person. He suddenly felt that he couldn't understand the young man in front of him.
"Master Yuan, since you have been to Dashi, it would be even better. Tell me, what is your impression of Dashi and Datangren? How do you think they compare with Datang?"
Before Master Yuan could think deeply, Wang Chong immediately spoke.
"this……"
"Don't be shy, I want to hear your real thoughts."
"Then forgive the villain for daring to speak out. The people in Beijing only know the Hu merchants in the Western Regions. They have a kind face and are good at doing business. They seem to be easy to get along with, but in fact, the real big cannibals are extremely fierce and sturdy. They all say Uzbek Tibetans are natural fighters, but even Uzbek Tibetans are far inferior to them."
Yuan Shurong lowered his head, and the first sentence he uttered shocked the expression of the eagle next to him. Only Wang Chong nodded slightly, not too surprised.
"The big cannibals are not afraid of death, not only with outsiders, but also among their own people. I was fortunate enough to see a war among their own people. Everyone fought forward, and no one retreated. They fought until the end a moment."
"The big cannibals value weapons, armor, and war horses more than any wealth, so the forging of weapons by the big cannibals is extremely developed. Everyone in the capital knows this. But the villain thinks that the big cannibals are most famous. Not their weapons, but their horses."
"When the villain was in Dashi, I saw their war horses at close range. They were as tall as a person, extremely tall and strong, and their impact and explosive power were also very strong. In this regard, no matter the Uzbek Tibetans Neither the highland barley horse nor the Turkic war horse can compare with it."
"However, when villains traveled in Dashi, what they felt most disturbed was the thought of Datang. Although many of them had never been to Datang, even ordinary people knew about the existence of Datang in Middle-earth, and the ruling and opposition parties He made no secret of his covetousness towards Datang."
"When the villain was in their market, they heard that their monarch once said in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty that whoever can conquer the East and the Tang Dynasty will be named the emperor of Central Earth."
Boom!
One stone stirred up thousands of waves. Hearing Yuan Shurong's words, both Wang Chong and Lao Ying trembled, showing extremely shocking expressions.
In Middle-earth, the Holy Emperor is the supreme existence. The words of Emperor Dashi are clearly the greatest insult and contempt for the Holy Emperor and the entire Middle-earth.
Back then, a long-distance war broke out between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Dawan because of a bloody horse. If the words of Emperor Dashi were spread, it would be enough to trigger a war between the two superpowers of the East and the West. Protracted large-scale war.
