Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 6 Pharmacist Guo’s Test
  The ancients once said that when you are beaten, you must fight back.

The bitch once said that if I get slapped on the left cheek, I have to give the other person my right cheek for another slap.

Naturally, the Liao people would not be willing to humble themselves. Empress Dowager Xiao was hit by an arrow in her eye and died on the same day. There was no owner in the city. Liao general Xiao Qian asked Yelu Dashi to lead the remaining troops to guard Yanjing, and he led more than 3,000 Liao cavalry in pursuit. Come up.

He doesn't have to worry about the ever-victorious army. There are only a thousand cavalry around Guo Yaoshi.

He didn't have to worry about the Song army, because when he heard that the Liao people defeated the Song army that rushed to Yanjing City, Liu Yanqing's 200,000 elite army also collapsed.

"The Liao people's horses are really fast."

Zhang Wu shouted, whipped his horse, and followed closely behind Liu Ling. As a captain in the Song army, after knowing his situation, he figured that he would be blamed if he went back, so he had to obey Liu Ling and do whatever he wanted for the time being. With his personal accompaniment.

There were only twelve people who were willing to stay with him, and the rest dispersed on the road.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't feel aggrieved. Zhang Wu knows that he is living under someone else's roof now, and he will have to avoid being punished when he goes back. In Liu Ling's place, he may be able to slowly find a chance, at least he can survive for the first time.

But looking at Liu Ling's behavior, this guy was not polite at all and actually nodded and accepted them as his personal followers.

How about you even try to be kind to others?
  Today Liu Ling was ordered to take people out to inspect the rear team to see if the Liao cavalry had caught up again. He was a novice after all, so he carefully asked the veterans around him, such as Zhang Wu and others, about many things.

These people have different ideas, but they are not as easy to use as other people.

"The news is conclusive. All the troops of Commander-in-Chief Liu Yanqing were defeated. He burned the camp and fled. The area around the Baigou River was pursued by the Liao people. The entire army suffered countless casualties!"

Liu Ling controlled the horse to slow down and said in a cold tone: "Without their threat, the Liao people will naturally pursue them as they please."

"rest assured."

He glanced at the worried cavalry around him and shouted: "It's not far from Yanjing City to Zhuozhou. With the horses, we can reach Zhuozhou in one day at most. That's the territory of the Ever Victorious Army. I heard There are tens of thousands of troops, and I am the captain of the Ever-Victorious Army. You will be safe if you follow me."

call out!
  As soon as he heard the sound of arrows piercing the air, Liu Ling suddenly raised his head, drew his sword, twisted his body, the blade of the sword splashed with bright arc light, and cut off the cold arrow in the air.

The broken arrow hit the ground with a thud.

Liu Ling turned around on his horse and saw a few Liao people on the hillside not far away, who were still picking up their bows and arrows, trying to take aim. Zhang Wu hurriedly shouted: "Quick, take the arrows and shoot back!"

"Give me the bow!"

Liu Ling snatched the bow and arrow from his hand, with cold eyes and only a slight delay. The bowstring rang, and he saw an arrow shoot out from Liu Ling's hand, hitting a Liao soldier in the eye. The Liao soldier covered his eyes and screamed. Fall off the horse.

"Do you recognize me?"

Liu Ling shouted loudly in Liao dialect.

"I am the one who shot down your Queen Mother Xiao under Yanjing City. If there is anyone who is not afraid of death, I have plenty of bows and arrows here. One arrow per person, no one can escape!"

"roll!"

Several Liao sentries hesitated for a moment. Liu Ling spread his hands, and Zhang Wu immediately handed over an arrow. Seeing him picking up his bow and arrow again, several Liao riders immediately retreated without even caring about the bodies of their companions.

"Brother Liu is so brave!"

Zhang Wusan smiled and took the bow from his hand. On the hillside, the horse of the Liao sentry rider was wandering. Two cavalrymen rode over and ran back holding the ownerless war horse.

"Bring the body with you."

"What are you taking him for? He's so heavy." Zhang Wu threw over a small purse that belonged to the Liao sentry, and said with a smile, "All his valuables are here."

"This is the sentry horse of the Liao people." Liu Ling played with the money bag, took out a leather wrench from it, put it on his thumb, and threw away the rest.

He said slowly: "The main force of the Liao people must be behind. I have to bring the corpse to report the news, otherwise Yaoshi Guo may not be willing to believe me."

"Didn't you help him bring back more than five hundred horses? Didn't he treat you as a confidant?"

"Ah."

Liu Ling shook his head and just sneered.

Although they were said to be a large army, they were actually just the defeated soldiers, led by Medicine Master Guo, and fled all the way to Zhuozhou.

The main force of the Song people has long been defeated on the front line. Even if they return here, they can only rely on more than 10,000 victorious troops and a large number of civilian auxiliary troops. Can such a defensive team stop the Liao people?

Pharmacist Guo was unsure.

"Report!"

"Report!"

He raised his head and heard a slightly familiar voice outside the camp. After a moment, it was Liu Ling who walked in and said loudly:

"The last general was just behind to spy on the news. He happened to encounter a small group of Liao sentries. The last general was lucky enough to shoot one of them. He thought privately that the main force of the Liao people must be behind. I also asked Duke Guo to give the order to break camp and set off immediately!"

Pharmacist Guo nodded slightly, but did not move immediately. He looked at Liu Ling, but sat down again and said calmly:

"We both grew up in the Liao Kingdom, and we all know how powerful the Liao cavalry is. Since you can shoot the Liao soldiers' sentry cavalry, your riding and shooting skills must be very good."

Next, Pharmacist Guo thought Liu Ling would be polite and say that he was not as good as Mr. Guo, but Liu Ling said without hesitation:
  "The Liao people's cavalry has long been abolished. To the north, the world is now dominated by the Jin people!

The Liao people could only bully the Song people. "

"Hahahaha." Medicine Master Guo laughed, then suddenly stopped smiling and said coldly: "Aren't you from Song Dynasty?"

He stood up and his sword hit the table with a soft sound.

"Liu Ling, think about it now. You can read and write. You are good at killing people and archery. You must have killed someone before you met me.

Not to mention, your taste is not that good either."

Pharmacist Guo pointed out: "Don't tell me, those people outside may be better than you, but in some aspects, they are not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

Liu Ling narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said:
  "The main force of the Liao people is behind us. Please give Duke Guo an order to withdraw immediately."

"Do you know why they are following you?"

Looking at Liu Ling, Pharmacist Guo's hand pointing outward slowly turned and pointed at Liu Ling.

"They want you."

"They want me to hand you over!"

Liu Ling's face returned to calmness, thinking that when he came in, there seemed to be only a few defenders outside.

Judging from Guo Yaoshi's tone, it seemed that he was waiting for Liu Ling here. He immediately threw a cup as a sign, called out hundreds of swordsmen, tied up Liu Ling and gave it to the Liao people.

But this was wrong. If that were the case, he would have to be pinned to the ground and kneeling now.

So, it's still a trial?
  "You are from Song Dynasty." Yaoshi Guo said firmly.

"wrong."

Liu Ling shook his head,
  "I am Han Chinese."

"Then at least you are not a Han Chinese living in Yanjing City."

"My wife Wan can testify for me about this matter. I fled to Yanjing when I was a child and settled here." Liu Ling had a flash of memory in his eyes and said softly: "If this villain hadn't been rescued by Duke Guo in Yanjing, This life is long gone!
  If Mr. Guo wants to hand me over now, fine, I will give you my life! "

He grabbed the saber suddenly. Guo Yaoshi's eyelids trembled and he held the saber in his hand. When he saw Liu Ling taking off the saber and throwing it aside, he stretched his head directly over. “Eh, no.” He was stunned for a moment and waved his hand.

"Guo Gong doesn't want to kill me? Okay." Liu Ling stretched out his hand and motioned for Pharmacist Guo to come over and tie him up. The latter hesitated for a moment and slapped Liu Ling's hand away.

"I just want to ask you one thing, and if you can answer it right, you will be my brother from now on. Whatever I have, you have too."

"Mr. Guo, it's okay to ask."

"I originally thought that you were just a civilian from the Liao Kingdom who was rescued by me. To put it bluntly, I just wanted to accept you as a personal soldier. Seeing that you are kind-hearted, I accepted you."

Pharmacist Guo slowly drew the knife, and the sound of the blade cutting across the scabbard was heard. Until he put the edge of the knife on Liu Ling's neck, the latter remained motionless, feeling the cold touch and silently remembering this feeling.

"But what about you?

You have a far-sighted vision, you are skilled in bow and horse, you are proficient in writing,
  You can think of what I think of, and you think of more than me!

You are so damn like a talent dropped from the sky just for me to use! "

The blade changed from cutting to sticking, the cold blade turned sideways, and moved slowly against Liu Ling's neck.

"I want an explanation. If you convince me, I will personally admit my mistake and apologize to you. If I am wrong, I can go back to Yanjing first with your head on my head.

I don’t want to hear those lies. If you tell them, I will kill them. "

Pharmacist Guo held his neck with a ferocious look in his eyes.

"I want to hear the truth."

Okay, are you suspicious of what kind of spy I am?

Liu Ling sneered, not caring about the blade on his neck at all, he held his head high and said with a smile: "In the past, when Han Xin was not famous, under Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, the latter could not be promoted. When he arrived in the Han Dynasty army, it was the same at first, but later he was Xiao He recommended, and the King of Han made Han Xin the general, despite all opinions.

Then Han Xin went northward alone, destroying four kingdoms by one man, and even made great achievements in the Han Dynasty.

I would like to ask, when he was in Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's army, did he show any talent at all? He was exposed, but was not reused by Xiang Yu. "

"Now that I have joined Guo Gong's army, I naturally want to show off my abilities. I just want to gain your trust, Guo Gong. I am in vain. I have nothing. Now I want to work hard for you. Why do you still blame me?

Could it be that keeping it hidden for the rest of the day can make you feel at ease?

Mr. Guo achieved his current status by relying on the ever-victorious army. Now is a good opportunity for you to gain fame and wealth through being a strong man. Why do you want to kill me? "

The blade paused for a moment, and then he slowly retracted it. Pharmacist Guo helped Liu Ling up. The two looked at each other for a moment, and he said: "It's all Zhang Linghui who said bad things to me, saying that instead of fighting against the Liao people, it would be better to give you to the Liao people." people."

"You have returned to the Song Dynasty. Sending me back now is tantamount to giving the Song Dynasty an excuse to use this opportunity to reduce your military power."

Liu Ling remembered the name in his heart and said slowly:
  "I have a plan to make the Song Dynasty help you recruit troops and strengthen your power regardless of the cost. Although the Ever Victorious Army is strong, its current strength is probably only ten thousand people. Now that you have ten thousand people, the Song people will have to rely on you to touch them. To the edge of Yanjing City,

If there are one hundred thousand,
  two hundred thousand,
  million! "

Liu Ling shouted loudly and said: "At that time, I would like to serve Duke Guo and go to Bianjing City to ask the officials of the Song Dynasty."

"presumptuous!"

Pharmacist Guo grabbed his shoulders, with a slight smile on his face, but he still cursed: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. I am Song Zhongliang, how can you say such treasonous things to me?"

"Yes, there will be mistakes in the end."

Pharmacist Guo sighed and said:
  "The soldiers and horses of the Liao people are waiting five miles away. Hurry up and send the order to break up the camp. You have done me a favor, how can I fail you?"

"I will obey my orders."

Liu Ling smiled, picked up the saber from the ground, and strode away from the handsome tent.

Pharmacist Guo rubbed the handle of the knife, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said to himself.

"Am I really too paranoid?"

"The whole army is on horseback and all the baggage is abandoned!"

"Guo Gong has an order to withdraw the troops!"

Zhang Wu and others were waiting outside. When they saw Liu Ling coming out, they hurriedly followed. Zhang Wu asked in a low voice behind him: "How is the matter?"

"It's okay. I guess he feels relieved about me now."

Zhang Wu immediately complained for him and said: "I thought it was just the Song army that was unreasonable, but I didn't expect that the commander of the ever-victorious army also had some problems in his mind. When he escaped from Yanjing City, he gathered defeated soldiers around him, but in the end he couldn't do anything. More than a thousand people gathered,
  As for you, you brought him more than five hundred in one fell swoop, and you are the cavalry!
  Because of this, he was afraid that I was a spy from the Liao or Song Dynasties, so he deliberately made meritorious deeds and placed me next to him. Liu Ling also sneered, cursed, and said in a low voice: "However, he is completely relieved about me now. When I return to Zhuozhou, I will definitely be able to stand on the top of a hill in the Ever-Victorious Army." "

"what?"

Zhang Wu was still wondering why, but Liu Ling had already arrived at a tent in the back camp, and Wan Niang and Liu Wan happened to walk out of it.

"Come up here and sit in my arms. If you ride in an ox cart behind, you might be overtaken."

"Are we still going to run away?"

Wan Niang glanced at the horse. Liu Ling leaned back slightly. She immediately got on the horse, hugged Liu Wan in her arms, and sat in Liu Ling's arms.

Both women were very light, and the war horse just snorted in dissatisfaction, turned around at Liu Ling's urging, and began to keep up with the pace of the large army.

"This is the last time."

In troubled times, people's lives are like nothing. Liu Ling also wants to learn the roll call of Donghuamen, and also wants to see the beautiful wind of the Qinhuai River and the peaceful days of being comfortable at home with his wife in his arms.

However, I was born in such a troubled time.

"drive!"

When the victorious army ran far away, the Liao people reacted.

"General!"

The sentry rider ran to Xiao Qian and said in panic: "The camp flags of the Ever Victorious Army are all in place, and their people are gone!"

"what?"

Xiao Qian stood up. He was a burly man, but his demeanor was quite elegant. At this moment, he rubbed his brow in pain. The deputy general came over and gritted his teeth and said: "The general has said long ago that Medicine Master Guo is an immature wolf. bastard,
  General, I will eventually lead my troops to pursue you! "

"enough!"

Xiao Qian sat back and sighed.

"Even if we catch up with him, win, and kill both Yaoshi Guo and the little thief, what will be changed?"

"you"

"The golden men swept down from the north,"

He yelled and slapped a military newspaper on the table.

"We can kill one Pharmacist Guo, but there are tens of thousands of Pharmacists Guo in the country. How can we kill them all?"

Xiao Qian gradually burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Da Liao is in danger."
