Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 31 Persuasion
  Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon has become an eternal legend.

But Liu Ling felt that if he died tonight in the pursuit of the Liao cavalry, it would be an eternal injustice.

He saw that the arrow should have hit Han Jixin, but the latter pursued him relentlessly with his cavalry, clinging to the back and shouting a few words to persuade him to surrender from time to time.

Liu Ling's military camp was only half a mile away from Shimen Town. He decided that when he returned to the camp, he would immediately order a withdrawal and wait for Pharmacist Guo to lead his troops.

"Liu Ling, if you are willing to surrender, my Lord will definitely make you a general!"

Liu Ling didn't look back and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Are you a general who gave up your wife to others to play with?"

The previous arrow was shot in Han Jixin's leg, but this arrow was prepared to be shot in his heart.

After all, Liu Ling still thought that Han Jixin was angry at the beauty, and because his wife was humiliated, he secretly let Xiao Qian in from Tonliao.

But listening to Han Jixin's efforts behind him to persuade him to surrender, Liu Ling frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with this guy's brain.

You just let the Liao people come in and kill Zhang Linghuishang and that's it. Now you're still swaying me to surrender together. Are you licking the Liao people like that?
  There was already a camp in front of them. The soldiers on duty on the arrow tower saw two groups of cavalry rushing towards them one after another. They realized that something was wrong and immediately beat their drums to warn them.

In the dark night, the sound of drums spread to every part of the camp. After a brief silence, the sleepy soldiers walked out of the camp and hurriedly put on their armor and led their horses.

In fact, as soon as the gate of the camp was opened, a cavalry of more than a hundred people rushed out to respond.

Although he believed Zhao Heshou and others, out of malicious speculation about Zhang Linghui, Liu Ling still gave instructions before leaving. If they did not come back within the agreed time, they could retreat tomorrow and go directly back to Zhuozhou to report the matter to Guo Pharmacist, the latter will use this as an excuse to kill Zhang Linghui.

Seeing that it was impossible to catch up with Liu Ling, Han Jixin began to curse behind him. Liu Ling slowed down his horse speed. After joining the cavalry who came out to meet him, the few soldiers who had followed him all the way finally had time to breathe. .

Han Jixin was still standing where he was.

Liu Ling raised his riding whip and pointed it at him, shouting:

"Have you been in contact with Xiao Qian for a long time?"

"He is my master!"

Tsk.

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this probably meant "he is my lord".

"What about tonight?"

"It was Zhang Linghui who specially asked me to do this scene in order to frame you, haha," Han Jixin smiled ferociously, "Liu Ling, I'm not lying, Zhang Linghui is in your ever-victorious army. You are such a villain, but your status is not as good as theirs.
  Pharmacist Guo even arranged for you to build a military stronghold outside the city. I don’t believe you don’t understand what that means!
  Liu Ling, what's the benefit of following them? "

Liu Ling was silent for a moment, knowing that the two sides could not reach a consensus. On the other side, Zhang Wu had already taken the bow and arrow and handed it to him. He stroked the hard bow and finally asked:
  "The woman who was played by Zhang Linghui was not your wife?"

"It's my wife." Han Jixin replied.

"."

Liu Ling had a sense of absurdity, and this feeling appeared too many times tonight.

He picked up his bow and nocked an arrow. When the arrow floated, the sound of the bowstring collapsing was also heard from Han Jixin's side. Both sides shot cold arrows at the same time.

It's just that Han Jixin only shot two or three arrows, but on Liu Ling's side, almost everyone who rushed out of the cavalry had a bow and arrow.

Han Jixin seemed to be still alive, cursing and turning around to run away.

Everyone is very lucky tonight.

After the other side escaped, a dozen cavalrymen rode over to check and found that in the round of shooting just now, at least a dozen cavalrymen on Han Jixin's side were shot dead on the spot.

Xiao Qian was defeated and fled all the way, so he was naturally very poor. Most of the soldiers only had one weapon. Even the cavalry did not have a high armor coverage rate.

"General."

When Liu Ling put down his bow, Zhang Wu beside him was already sweating in pain. He had two arrows stuck in his back and managed to escape all the way here. "I ordered all the soldiers to mount their horses immediately, evacuate this place, and sent out envoys to tell the Zhuozhou side that Zhang Linghui allowed his subordinates to have liaisons with the Liao people and suspected them of treason. As a result, Shimen Town has been lost."

"promise."

"I'll treat your injuries on the way."

Liu Ling checked Zhang Wu's injuries, and the latter barely smiled, "It doesn't matter."

Under Liu Ling's order, the entire camp was abandoned directly, and most of the army retreated toward the rear on horseback. If there were soldiers without horses, they would ride two to one. Therefore, when Xiao Qian completely captured the entire city of Shimen Town, he led The soldiers and horses arrived, but they only saw an empty camp.

Only then did he realize that not only the outside of the camp, but also the inside of the camp were neatly built.

He looked at the entire camp and his face darkened.

"If the traitor Liu Ling is not eliminated, he will definitely become the second Pharmacist Guo in the future!"

Yuyang.

There was a poem by our ancestors that said: The frown of Yuyang stirs the earth, and the song of colorful clothes and feathers is startled.

There seems to be an old residence of General Anlushan in the local area, which also reflects the ancient age of this city. There are traces of long time left on the ancient city walls.

When Liu Ling entered the city, among the soldiers and horses in the city, there were actually one general and two captains who chose to obey his orders. The original Song officials in Yuyang City were directly ignored, and it was not even clear why those three people betrayed him.

"Mobilize the entire city's military and civilians to repair the city's defences."

Liu Ling stood on the top of the city and looked into the distance, issuing orders one by one.

His headquarters of more than 900 people had almost no damage when he was in Shimen Town. After entering the city, there were about 1,400 defenders in Yuyang, but most of them were state soldiers with low combat effectiveness and expressionless faces. He looked at Liu Ling.

Even though the latter has the reputation of being the training envoy of the Song Dynasty, it is actually not easy to use.

Officials from the Song Dynasty sent by the imperial court began to be placed in various places in the Yan region. The people who actually controlled the place were Guo Yaoshi and the generals of the Changsheng Army. What mattered most was their status as the Changsheng Army.

"General Liu," the assistant general stood beside him, "when will Duke Guo arrive?"

"soon."

Liu Ling thought that what was happening in front of him still followed the course of history. Zhang Linghui and others lost Shimen Town. As long as the news was sent back, Medicine Master Guo would definitely choose to attack with all his troops in order to add insult to injury.

The ever-victorious army was able to fight, and the people of Song Dynasty had enough milk, and baggage such as soldiers, armor, food and grass were finally delivered in time. Medicine Master Guo took advantage of this opportunity to defeat Xiao Qian, which was considered a great achievement.

"In five days at most, reinforcements from the rear will arrive. You and I both have military merits. Then no one will care what the Song official says.

First, the rewards were given to the soldiers in the city, and they were promised that after this battle, everyone would be rewarded heavily. "

Xiao Qian's army numbered about ten thousand. With the soldiers in the city, it should be no problem to defend Yuyang City for a few days.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report and said:

"There is a remnant of soldiers knocking on the door outside the east city gate, claiming to be the defeated soldiers of Shimen Town, and demanding to enter the city. The leader seems to claim to be Zhang Linghui."

News of the fall of Shimen Town was quickly passed to the rear. After hearing what the messenger said, Medical Master Guo became furious. In front of Wang Anzhong, a Song official, he slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground, and the tea suddenly splashed. All over the place.

Wang Anzhong saw that his official robe was stained with tea, and his face twitched. He hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded:
  "Please calm down Mr. Guo. We don't know whether Zhang Linghui is dead yet. Right now, we should focus on resisting foreign invaders.

Furthermore, even if he is still alive, after he comes back, he still has to be handed over to our court to judge his guilt.

Mr. Guo must not resort to lynching rashly. "
