Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 83 Yizhou City

When the city gate opened, Liu Ling immediately felt that Zhao Heshou was not so cute. What's more, he originally wanted to capture Zhang Jue's son alive, but Zhao Heshou chopped him up without knowing whether it was intentional or not, and even smashed his head so badly that it looked disgraceful.

Just like after Lao Wang next door finished, he started to pinch the woman's buttocks and said to stay for a while, which seemed to be a plea to stay, but in fact it was a reminder.

Gao Feng lowered his head and remained silent beside him. Yizhou City was opened. Logically speaking, he had done what he promised. All he needed to do next was to make a list for Liu Ling to raid his house. His matter was over. .

At this moment, he and Zhao Heshou had almost the same thoughts: don't ask Liu Ling to do the things he promised, save some wealth, no, at least save his life.

But at this time, Liu Ling looked at Gao Feng and ordered: "You are allowed to have two hundred people enter the city and ransack your home."

Liu Ling didn't want to do it because it was easy to get his hands dirty by confiscating a house, but the wealth in Yizhou City must be more than tens of thousands of dollars, and there were also some jade treasures and other things that he could take back and give to Tong Guan.

Although it was the Zhuozhou Army who was raiding the house, the leader was Gao Feng, which meant that the dirty water would at most touch the corner of Liu Ling's clothes, leaving a small blemish that was not worth mentioning.

Gao Feng's eyes quickly flashed with joy, and he knew that his life was saved.

The soldiers outside the city were quickly gathered together. There were thousands of people in front and behind, and they looked majestic. They entered the city in batches. Liu Ling did not go in immediately. When his soldiers completely controlled the city wall, Zhao Heshou also walked out of the city gate. He then rode up to meet him with a smile.

"Brother Zhao!" Liu Ling dismounted from his horse a few steps away, walked quickly to Zhao Heshou, and held his left hand, "You and I, brothers, meet again today. We will not talk about official affairs, but only romance!"

Seeing that he no longer mentioned the official document, Zhao Heshou felt a chill in his heart, but there was more of a smile on his face.

"Okay, then we must have a drink."

When the banquet started, Liu Ling filled his stomach and mostly gave perfunctory answers to the Yizhou officials introduced to him by Zhao Heshou. He took a look at them, nodded, and said "hmm", which was considered acquaintance.

The more arrogant he is, the lower the heads of those people are and the more humble and flattering their smiles are.

After eating and drinking, most of the people said goodbye. Gao Feng stayed, and Zhao Heshou also stayed. The three maids served hot tea to the three, and then each kneeled in front of them holding a copper basin. Liu Ling He knew what he was going to do at a glance, so he rinsed his mouth with tea and spit it into the copper basin.

"Go down." Zhao Heshou waved to the maids, looked at Liu Ling, and said with a smile: "The general is the vanguard of the heavenly army, but Yizhou will be in hand within a moment. I wonder what the general's next plan is?"

"Of course he is guarding the place and guarding the territory for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty." Liu Ling cupped his fists and arched his head in the direction of the door. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "I plan to move all the money and grain people in Yizhou to Zhuozhou. Please ask two brothers to teach me."

Gao Feng immediately replied: "The remaining population of Yizhou is tens of thousands. It cannot be mobilized in just a few days. In addition, the Xinxing clan of the Song Dynasty has been lagging behind and may rush back at any time. If they see it, they will not If I break up with you, if you start a fight with him, you will definitely get in front of Tong Guan."

"Furthermore, if you want the team to avoid the Song army, then you can only go around Zhuozhou from the north. However, the area around Yanshan Mansion in the north is full of Guo Yaoshi's troops. If a sentry cavalry encounters them, they will definitely be kidnapped halfway. It is too dangerous. ."

Gao Feng picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip. He noticed that Liu Ling's eyes were still on him and said quickly: "But if it is just transporting money and grain, it can be transported back to Zhuozhou in batches. It is not easy for the Song people to blame this matter." . It’s just a matter of relocating people. Tong Guan wants to take Yizhou just to manage the north and prevent the peace talks from happening. If you take away all the money, food and people, it means that Yizhou has been abolished."

Liu Ling shook his head.

Yizhou's dethronement has nothing to do with him. He can't think too far now. As long as he expands the strength of his subordinates, even if the Jin people come, they will mainly recruit him.

"General Liu." Zhao Heshou spoke and asked tentatively: "Song people, what is going on now?"

"Tong Taishi Chen Bingbaigouhe, a native of the Song Dynasty,"

Liu Ling looked at Gao Feng calmly, with a warning flashing in his eyes. The latter immediately lowered his head and rubbed the teacup in his hand without making a sound.

"They haven't settled in Zhuozhou yet, but the soldiers and horses have already moved towards Yizhou, right behind me. To be honest, if my brother hadn't led the army to arrive first, with the nature of the Song army, after entering the city, An An would be overthrown. Finished egg?"

After Liu Ling entered the city, he only asked Gao Feng to lead some soldiers to the city to collect a protection fee. He did not break down, burn, kill or loot, and this was expressly prohibited.

When the Zhuozhou army entered the city, they were immediately rewarded. In addition to not being allowed to drink tonight, they were also allowed to eat freely. It is forbidden to keep prostitutes in the Zhuozhou military camp, so in addition, more than a hundred prostitutes were specially selected from the hook bars in the city. come out.

They were willing to give me money, and even felt a little uneasy.

Liu Ling could no longer restrict other things.

Zhao Heshou nodded slightly and said: "General Liu is indeed a loyal man. In fact, even if I don't understand current affairs, it will only take some trouble for the general to capture this city. It's just..."

He stared into Liu Ling's eyes,
  "General, now that he is in Yizhou, do you dare to go north again? To achieve great success?"

"north?"

"Crossing Yizhou," Zhao Heshou stood up, took out a map with his left hand and put it on the table. After opening it, you could see very vague geographical signs, "There are mountains stretching to the north of Yizhou, including Baima Mountain, Laishui, Huliang River, Da Fangshan, Liupeng Mountain, and finally across the Sanggan River." Zhao Heshou became more and more excited as he talked and slapped the map on the table.

"The farthest north is the hinterland of Yanshan Prefecture. I know that Guo Yaoshi's troops are distributed. His main force is more than a hundred miles east of Yanshan Prefecture. There is no defense at all in the Sanggan River area. If he is attacked from both sides, it will be difficult to turn around and attack him. If the general is Lead the main force to cross the mountains and rivers and attack Yanjing in one fell swoop. We will accomplish great success!"

In the lobby, Zhao Heshou's excited voice echoed freely.

Liu Ling stared at the map for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Do you want to tell it to yourself again?"

Zhao Heshou "."

He was leading the Zhuozhou Army and not the Beiwei Army. Even the latter would not have the energy to attack the city after such a long journey. What's more, there are mountains to the north of Yizhou. Can they climb over and still return? Hard to say.

Finally, why does he want to be such a conspicuous person?

Zhao Heshou was still in a daze. Liu Ling thought for a while and said calmly: "When the Song general comes, as for you, tell him this again."

"what?"

"Try to avoid speaking lightly." Liu Ling knocked on the table. The three of them were looking at the map on the table with different thoughts.
