Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 90 Wushu

Peace talks are not something that can be accomplished overnight, but when the table is lifted, it is because there is no consideration of the consequences.

In mid-March of the sixth year of Xuanhe, when more than fifty riders returned to the outside of Zhuozhou City, purple official robes were floating on top of the city. Cai Jing watched the city gate open, and a group of people slowly entered the city, wrinkled The brows never softened from beginning to end.

In the lobby of the government office, apart from the soldiers, Zhao Liangsi and Liu Ling came to the lobby to eat after washing and bathing. The three of them were eating and talking, and the topic was about heading north to attack Yanjing.

Of course, Liu Ling narrated and persuaded them from his own perspective.

Zhao Liangsi was still reluctant to agree. After eating, he went to rest. Cai Jing stayed in the lobby, looked at Liu Ling who stood up, hesitated for a moment and said: "Abandon the land of Yan and enter the Song Dynasty, you can also If you get a horse and infantry captain, a Marquis of Yu, or a defense envoy, the court might even grant you a title, so why take the risk?"

"Don't talk about the matter of making a marquis. One general will make thousands of bones wither."

Liu Ling said calmly: "You also know what my status is in Zhuozhou. Going to the Song Dynasty is just a job. I still have soldiers to defend the enemy and good horses to drive. Now if I fight hard, I will die. If you succeed, you can become a marquis of ten thousand households.

Grand Master Tong used to collect Yan Yun with annual coins. Today I want to open up new territories with military exploits. You should wish me success. "

Cai Jing stared at him for a moment. Liu Ling bowed to him and saluted. The former laughed angrily and said coldly: "Mrs. You has been pregnant for several months. Do you think you will leave her to my care this time?"

"I'm sorry for bothering Brother An Shi. But if things go badly this time, I won't be able to return it to you. I also have trusted brothers under my command. I will send them all to the Jiangnan area of ​​the Song Dynasty for resettlement. We will have a lot of wealth, enough to live on. If my son grows up in the future, , I hope brother An Shi will remember today and take care of you again."

Liu Ling turned around and walked towards the door, waved his hand and said, "Just come here, don't send me away."

Outside the official office, Han Shizhong was burping. When he saw Liu Ling coming out, he quickly brought a white horse for him to ride on. He said hello to the back, and more than a hundred soldiers followed one after another. On the cold street, the sound of armor scraping and footsteps could be heard all of a sudden. .

"Go to Chen Mansion." Liu Ling ordered.

Since Chen Liang followed him, he has always shown himself to be useful, followed by loyalty, even sending his eldest son to Liu Ling as a personal soldier.

However, his eldest son Chen Wen had some lung disease. He almost died of asthma the first two times he went out with Liu Ling. When he came back, Liu Ling had the doctor take a look at him and found out that he was indeed sick, so he asked him to stay in Zhuozhou City and learn from his father. The ability to calculate in the accounting office.

The Chen Mansion is the house that Liu Ling arranged for Chen Liang in Zhuozhou City. It is very large and luxurious. It is said that it was originally the residence of a nobleman from the Liao Kingdom in Zhuozhou City. Later, after several wars, noblemen often died the fastest. This house also He was given to Chen Liang to live in.

There was a curfew in Zhuozhou City, and he only encountered a group of soldiers patrolling the city along the way. When he reached the gate of Chen's mansion, Liu Ling could smell the strong smell of blood without the soldiers in the front row reminding him.

And the door was not closed. When the soldiers opened the door, they saw two servants with knives slashing at the body of an officer wearing silk.

Liu Ling got off his horse and walked slowly into the gate of Chen Mansion. The smell of blood immediately became stronger. After the two servants hacked the man to death, they immediately knelt on the ground. Liu Ling glanced at them and continued walking inside.

Corpses can be seen everywhere, at least there must be more than twenty. Some are wearing clothes of good quality, and some are just ordinary people's clothes. Liu Ling slowly walked all the way to the door of the front hall of Chen's house. The lights were bright inside, and there were many corpses on both sides. There were several corpses lying behind the banquet.

In the center of the front hall, a maid was shaking and holding a basin. Chen Liang reached into the basin and slowly washed the blood on his hands. When he looked up and saw Liu Ling standing outside, he immediately asked the maid to go away and walked forward. After a few steps, he bowed and saluted.

"Following the general's instructions, most of the merchants that I found earlier who dared to pay less for food are here. A few of them escaped obediently, but I have placed a large bounty on their heads. I think it will be delivered in a few days. "

Liu Ling lightly kicked the corpse next to him, and the corpse immediately fell to the side. "These people are all your bosses. Don't you feel bad if I ask you to kill them all?"

"The villain's business is what it is today, thanks to the support of the general. Even if the villain is asked to give up all his wealth, the villain is willing to do so."

Chen Liang bowed to the end and said in a dull voice: "I heard that the general is going north. I have been bankrupt in recent days. I spent all my money and means to get three hundred and twenty good horses. The rest were exchanged for valuables, jewelry and other easy-to-carry items." The horse is given to the general, and the jewelry is going to be taken to the south of the Yangtze River by the general's wife. The brothers accompanying him are all reliable people, so please rest assured, general."

Liu Ling moved his eyes away from him, looked at the corpses around him and smiled, "I accepted the horses. I still have some money left. You can keep them for yourself. If you are poor when you come back, I will ask for them again." Who can I ask to do things for me?”

Chen Liang lowered his head and remained silent.

"By the way, I asked you to immediately send people to Jing and Jizhou to find the generals of the Jin people to deliver messages. How long have you been sending the people?"

"Snapped!"

The letter was slapped on the table. Wanyan Zongfu sighed. When he stood up, all the golden generals in the camp lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"The reason why the commander-in-chief fell in Pingzhou was because he was caught off guard by Liu Ling, a native of Yan. The generals were attacked and captured in the Gaoliang River, but it was your fault!"

Wanyan Zongfu shouted angrily, even though he usually treated others with kindness, he couldn't help but get angry at this time.

The descendants of the late Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Dynasty were all generals, and Wanyan Zongfu was no exception. This time it was because of Yan Yun's incident, and the imperial court was going to send him to bring more troops. However, when he heard that Wanyan Zongwang had been captured, Zongfu had to abandon the army and quickly rushed to Jizhou with light equipment.

"In addition to the capital, we also lost two Meng'an and hundreds of Jingqi this time. Who will bear the responsibility for such a big mistake!"

Seeing that everyone was silent and silent, Zong Fu rubbed his eyebrows angrily, sat in a chair and was silent for a moment, then asked slowly: "Liu Ling of Zhuozhou has received a letter now, hoping to make an agreement with our army to attack Yanjing from the west together." Hinterland, what do you think?"

"I'm afraid it's too risky." Someone whispered: "Wanyan Dutong is still in the hands of Medicine Master Guo. If this thief breaks out and kills Dutong, we will not be able to explain to the court."

"Also, although Liu Ling is an invincible and brave general, he has always been very close to the Song people. Furthermore, his Zhuozhou army has suffered repeated defeats. I am afraid that he is not strong enough and it will be difficult to attack Yanjing."

"The Zhuozhou soldiers are useless, Liu Ling is always the one who can fight, right?" Amidst the crowd's objections, a harsh sneer suddenly appeared. Following the sound, he saw a tall and strong young man, wearing ordinary armor and having a good appearance. Young, even a little green.

"Liu Ling is a native of Yan and Liao. He was a general in the Ever Victorious Army before. He is familiar with geography. He is a mortal enemy of Medicine Master Guo. His Zhuozhou Army cannot be defeated, but our Dajin soldiers and horses are invincible in the world! Now! What should Liu Ling be afraid of?
  After capturing Yanjing, Medicine Master Guo and the family members of Chang Shengjun must be in the city. Even if his brother is not inside, he can exchange the former with Medicine Master Guo for his brother." The young man looked at Zongfu and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you and With thousands of horses on my side, I will definitely be able to defeat the generals and capture Yanjing! "

"Wushu, stop talking nonsense!"

Zongfu's face darkened, "Kulubo Jilie's army is in the north and will arrive in half a month. By then, with the force of the army, he, Medicine Master Guo, has to hand over the capital if he has the slightest idea of ​​living. , you are acting so recklessly now, if you really force him to kill Du Tong, it will be your fault!"

Wanyan Zongbi took the initiative to take a step forward, looked at his brother, and said loudly: "I have read the history books of the Central Plains. Xiahou Dun was once a hostage. Han Hao did not abandon the military because of his quality, and ordered him to be shot together with the rebel sergeants. Therefore The latter was afraid and released Xiahou Dun.

I, the great Jin Dynasty, destroyed the Liao Dynasty and founded the country. Do we have to be afraid today because of Guo Yaoshi, a slave with the third surname? Even if the second brother dies, I will kill all the family members of Pharmacist Guo and the generals of the Ever Victorious Army, and bury their corpses outside the city as revenge, so that the people of Yan land will be afraid and fearful of me, Da Jin, and they will never dare to use hostages as hostages again! "

After Wanyan Zongbi finished speaking, he left angrily. Zongfu sat down slowly. Just as several generals were about to open their mouths to persuade, Zongfu shook his head and cursed with a smile.

"Based on what he said, when brother comes back, he will definitely be beaten. That's right. That's the truth. After passing the order, soldiers and horses from all over Jizhou came forward and sent people to find out the medicine master Guo and the Changsheng Army. Wherever he is, I will force his main force to death in front of the Gaoliang River!
  He has such a bad tone, I will set up a stage for him today. When he goes back, at worst, I will accept the crime and be punished. but now"

He looked at everyone and knocked on the table: "Our Jin Army has great power, but it has lost two commanders and several generals one after another. You are all our brave generals, and it is you who have thrown this face away. From now on, we must Bring me back your face without any loss of face!"

The generals immediately bowed their heads and led the troops with a bang.
