Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 89 Come, come, change homes
  Both parties are used to talking at the table, but now, someone chooses to overturn the table.

Liu Ling galloped wildly on his horse. The princess behind him was jolting and bumping against his back. The princess bit her red lips and endured it. She hugged Liu Ling's waist tightly. The latter could not care about the pain in his waist at this time and could only ride his horse. Whip, run all the way.

Zhao Liangsi said that to the south of the camp was Tong Guan's camp, but Liu Ling chose to move towards the agreed place, where there were more than 200 trusted cavalrymen of his.

Liu Ling could say that this was his territory in one-third of an acre in Zhuozhou City, but if anyone dared to shamelessly say that it was under his control in such a big Yan land, then that person should be Pharmacist Guo.

The Song sentry cavalry discovered that the enemy's attack was in the west, but after Liu Ling and his party ran wildly for a while, the cavalry sent to the front turned back and shouted: "There are also on the official road in front! At least hundreds of soldiers, Someone is guarding the intersection!"

"Take the trail!"

Dozens of cavalrymen ran wildly through the barren fields, raising countless dust behind them and startling a few crows on the dead branches beside the field ridge, screaming and flying above their heads.

Zhao Liangsi was panicked, but wisely did not rush him.

But it was not that he chose to acquiesce knowing that Liu Ling did not go to Tongguan Camp, but that he simply did not know the terrain and direction here.

As the sound of horse hooves slowly stopped, Han Shizhong and several cavalrymen returned to Liu Ling. Without him saying anything, Liu Ling had already seen that there were dozens of soldiers guarding the other end of the path.

This time there was no other path. Liu Ling took the bow and arrow from the princess and led the cavalry behind him to speed up again. In an instant, the bow string was fired, and the arrow escaped from his hand and penetrated into the head of a victorious soldier.

Most of the other cavalrymen were able to use bows and horses, and they all fired a round of arrows. Half of the arrows missed people, but since they did, a dozen people fell down on the other side of the intersection immediately.

Han Shizhong felt that the horse was accelerating. He lowered his body slightly, held the horse in his hand slightly, and was already aiming at a victorious soldier from a distance.

The sound of horse hooves slowed down, and two victorious soldiers hurriedly raised their spears to stab. Han Shizhong raised his arm to pass the spears, and held the two spears firmly. As the momentum of the horses continued unabated, the two victorious soldiers The soldiers were still standing there blankly. In an instant, Han Shizhong arrived with horses, men, and guns!
  Blood flowers burst out from the chin of a victorious soldier, and Ma Shan penetrated the entire head from bottom to top. Then the whole weight of the victorious soldier's body was hung on the head connected to Ma Shan, and was held by Han Shizhong. The horse was lifted high and then fell to the ground, splashing up a circle of dust. The surface of the pool of blood slowly rippling under the body trembled in the sound of the horse's hooves.

Bodies continued to fall along the way. More than fifty cavalrymen rushed directly through the defenders' defense line and continued to run towards the distance.

The horse's hooves were beating, and Han Shizhong felt warm liquid flowing on his face. He knew it belonged to the victorious sergeant before. A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. In his arms, Zhao Liangsi silently wiped a handful of blood all over his face. Just now When the blood spurted out, most of it hit his face.

Zhao Liangsi huddled in Han Shizhong's arms and looked into the distance with some depression.

After running for most of the day, he never saw a victorious soldier again. Several cavalrymen who ran ahead to explore the road suddenly shot two loud arrows. Zhao Liangsi squinted his eyes and saw a sudden appearance in the woods ahead. Many figures.

The group finally had a chance to breathe. Liu Ling took the princess off the horse and gave the white horse some time to rest. Several soldiers were surrounding an old soldier. When Liu Ling walked over, they all stood up.

Shi Liai looked a little uncomfortable. After all, he was already old. He had just galloped for nearly ten miles and vomited non-stop when he stopped. Liu Ling squatted beside him and gargled his mouth with warm water from his own water bag. Then he signaled the princess to come over and put her white fox fur on Shi Liai.

"Old guy, we can't stop here."

Liu Ling patted his back to calm him down and whispered, "We have to go."

Shi Liai coughed a few times, returned the water bag to Liu Ling, and stood up reluctantly.

"Who is that?" Zhao Liangsi caught a glimpse of Liu Ling's gentle attitude towards the old soldier and couldn't help but curious. He had realized that the person holding him might be a Song Dynasty person, because when Han Shizhong occasionally spoke, his accent was It cannot be changed.

"Just an old pawn." Han Shizhong was too lazy to say.

"Hmph, can he, Liu Ling, take such care of an old soldier?"

"General Liu takes good care of everyone."

Han Shizhong suddenly realized that he didn't have to be afraid of the second-rank official Zhao Xue in his arms, so no matter what Zhao Liangsi asked, he didn't bother to answer.

In Yanshan Prefecture, except for a county in the east that was captured by the Jin people, the entire Yanshan Prefecture and Shunzhou in the north all showed their flags turned upside down. There were also a small number of people who did not want to join the war and were immediately killed by the top generals.

Pharmacist Guo spread the news everywhere, saying that the people of Jin and Song Dynasty wanted to trap and kill the entire victorious army, so everyone was just trying to survive. Most of the generals of the Song people managed to escape, but two of them fell into the hands of Medicine Master Guo. The Jin people were furious, but they didn't dare to make any big moves because Wanyan Zongwang fell to them. In the hands of Pharmacist Guo.

At the same time, the original coach Wanyan Yanmu was still in Pingzhou and was being held hostage by Zhang Dungu. Therefore, the Jin soldiers stationed in Jingzhou, Jizhou were leaderless for a while.

Tong Guan led his army to garrison at the junction of Zhuozhou and Yanshan Prefecture. Hearing rumors that the Jin people were coming from ahead, Master Tong hesitated for a quarter of an hour, and then led a group of soldiers and horses to the south, shouting that the troops should be pacified. Yizhou's ever-victorious army remnants.

The entire Yan land has turned into a mess.

The bonfire was licking the firewood, which was a rare warmth in the woods. A little further back, there was a slightly larger cave. Liu Ling sat at the entrance of the cave, with Zhao Liangsi next to him. The two looked at the ground for a moment. They almost know the geographical location of each place, but there are quite some differences between them on how to choose next.

Zhao Liangsi believed that he should find the main force of the Song army and discuss with Tong Guan what to do next.

But Liu Ling was really afraid that Tong Guan would also abandon the army and flee, and the entire Song army in Yan would be destroyed. Even if he had trained the thousands of Zhuozhou troops under him to some extent, they would collapse when the time came.

He thought that the best way was to return to Zhuozhou and find a way to control several major cities in Yizhou. There are mountains to the north of Yizhou. If the victorious army goes south, there will not be many attack directions to choose from. It is most likely that Attack Zhuozhou from the south of Yanshan Prefecture.

As a last resort, he left Zhao Liangsi behind and coaxed him to sleep. After Zhao Liangsi fell asleep, he came to Shi Liai and whispered: "Old Shi, Yaoshi Guo exploded. What do you think?"

Shi Liai coughed and took the map from his hand. Liu Ling held up a candle to illuminate it for him and saw Shi Liai slowly carving a trace of a route on the map with his nails.

"Pick up an army of soldiers and horses from Zhuozhou, cross the Longquan River, and go all the way north. This is Qingbaikou, which has never been taken seriously by the Liao people. If Pharmacist Guo leads his army south, this place will be empty and unprepared."

"If I were to dedicate all Zhuozhou's troops to the north again," Liu Ling said slowly, "when Guo Pharmacist went south, wouldn't he just hit me with an empty door wide open? Besides..."

The route Shi Liai mentioned was to a large extent the route he heard from Zhao Heshou when he was in Yizhou. However, because it started from Zhuozhou, there were fewer mountains and rivers that needed to be crossed on the way.

"When you arrive in Zhuozhou, why don't you just send the little boy away secretly?" Shi Liai said coldly.

"It's not entirely a family matter."

Liu Ling stood up and took two steps, and whispered: "I don't have many soldiers and horses. A few field battles may be enough, but let alone trekking through mountains and rivers to attack the hinterland of Yanshan Mansion. Even if we go through, we can break into Yanshan Mansion all the way. If they reach the city of Yanjing, the soldiers and horses below will definitely be exhausted. He, Medicine Master Guo, will definitely deploy heavy troops to defend Yanjing. How can he attack it?
  Zhuozhou City is the foundation of my two-year management. Once it is lost, it will never be available again. "

Guo Yaoshi went south, and Liu Ling went north. The two sides were in a situation where they were fighting each other. It is true that Yanjing was of greater significance to Guo Yaoshi than Liu Ling and Zhuozhou. Once the two sides went to war, Guo Yaoshi would suffer the most.

But the accounts can’t be settled like this, right?
  He fought hard to defeat Zhuozhou and captured Yanjing. When the time comes, he will be alone in the city. If the Song people don't support him, won't he be trapped in a cage?
  "General!"

Shi Liai suddenly sat up, with the fox fur on his body scattered beside him, and hissed: "Do big things but cherish your life, do small profits and forget your righteousness. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. The general still has a seven-foot body and a three-foot sword. He is famous for his bravery in the three armies, and his benevolence spreads all over the south of Yan. He raises his arms and shouts. The victorious army is all from Yan and Liao. How can he not be shaken?
  Furthermore, it is not just the general and his family. "Shi Liai took a breath and pointed in the direction of Juyongguan, north of Yanshan Mansion.

"There were prisoners in Yanjing City during the Song and Jin Dynasties. When Guo Pharmacist captured Wanyan Zongwang, he must have sent him to Yanjing to be imprisoned to prevent him from escaping by mistake. The people of Song Dynasty are confused and cowardly and useless. It is better to send envoys into the territory of Jin Kingdom to communicate with them. The Jin people mutually agreed to attack Yanjing.

If the city of Yanjing is destroyed, the hearts of the soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army will be dispersed. Medicine Master Guo has repeatedly gone against the will of heaven, which has already aroused dissatisfaction among the army. When the general raises his arms, the officers and soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army will surrender heartily. To the north of the Baigou River, Yanshan Prefecture To the south, all the eight hundred miles of Yan land belong to the general.

At that time, half of the ever-victorious army will surrender, and they will have a palace and three states in their hands, thousands of armored men, and 30,000 warriors. Looking north, they can claim vassal status, and looking south, they can resist the enemy.

Moreover, this is the old land of the Liao Kingdom. The general reestablished the old Zuo of the Liao Kingdom in the name of the princess. Both the Song and Jin Dynasties can rely on it. After ten years of management, how can you know that you can't regain the dominance of the Liao Kingdom Zuo? "

Shi Liai poked Liu Ling in the heart and whispered: "Why does the general only want to huddle in Zhuozhou, like a dog guarding the door of the Song Dynasty? Wouldn't it make the heroes of Yan and Zhao laugh at him?"

"I will lead the Jin people southward, and when the time comes to capture Yanjing, Jin will be strong and I will be weak. I will be like the fish on the Jin people's chopping board. What will I do then?" Liu Ling stared at him.

"General, have you forgotten? The Jin people can no longer fight. Now two commanders of the Wanyan clan have been captured. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom left Jiashan in the west. The territory of the Jin Kingdom was shaken. There is a serious shortage of food this year. Even though it is still Even though his troops are strong and his horses are strong, he is already at the end of his crossbow. How can he fight without food?
  You can make whatever promises you want before capturing Yanjing. After capturing Yanjing, you can slowly plan on recruiting soldiers from the ever-victorious army. You can even use money and food to borrow troops from the Jin people to go south. Borrow the sword of the Jinren to open up your own territory. "

The firelight reflected in Shi Liai's eyes, burning brightly. He reached out and grabbed Liu Ling's clothes, his voice hoarse like pleading, "The general has always been close to the Song people, but even if you are a Song person, what is the situation in the Song Dynasty? How can you Don’t you know? As long as you have strong soldiers and horses, the people of Song Dynasty will come to please you!
  What’s so good about being a Song Dynasty person! The land of Yan is the homeland of the Liao Kingdom, so the general is in charge. General, send troops."
