Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 92 I come, I see, I conquer

The commander-in-chief of the Ever Victorious Army was carried out and placed in front of the commander-in-chief of the two armies, looking like he was dying.

Liu Ling was used to using bows and arrows, but he couldn't figure out what posture this man was in so that he could be shot through the root of his thigh by an arrow. Moreover, the smell on his body was mixed with the smell of blood, and there was a bit of irritation in the smell. .

He cupped his hands to the side: "Liu Ling, the last general, have you met the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom?"

Wanyan Zongbi frowned slightly. He didn't know whether Liu Ling didn't speak Liao dialect very well or he had mistaken his identity. He could only say: "General Liu should be older than me. Just call me Wushu or Zongbi. Two years ago, I heard that General Liu shot and killed the Queen Mother of the Liao people outside Yanjing City. At that time, I begged the late emperor to ask the Song people for you, general, but the late emperor scolded me."

"The first emperor of the Jin Dynasty was a great leader of the generation, and the Zongbi brothers were even more powerful generals in the Jin army. They were rising stars, and the last generals were just surrendered generals from Yan. Now they are relying on the Song people and have been defeated repeatedly. How can they be worthy of it?" General's love."

"Why are you so unfamiliar?"

Wanyan Zongbi took a step forward and put his arm around Liu Ling's shoulders. "You, when the city of Yanjing is captured, you will follow me back. I will speak in front of your majesty for you. After killing Yaoshi Guo, I will let you continue to guard Yan." ,"

"Let's talk about it later, Brother Wanyan."

Liu Ling lightly kicked the general of the Ever Victorious Army who was still lying on the ground, then pretended to accidentally step on the place where the arrow hit the root of his thigh, and asked: "How far is this place from Yanjing?"

"Less than forty miles hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssth." The general of the Ever Victorious Army trembled all over and begged hurriedly: "I am willing to be the vanguard and clear the way for the noble Jin and General Liu!"

"Can you open the gate of Yanjing City?"

The general of the Ever Victorious Army trembled all over and said in a low voice: "You know the gatekeeper, maybe?"

Liu Ling snapped his fingers, and Gao Feng and Zhao Heshou walked out. Liu Ling pointed to the one on the ground and asked, "Do you know this person?"

The two shook their heads silently.

"Then he is of no use." Gao Feng and Zhao Heshou were both mid-level and senior managers of the Ever Victorious Army, and Zhao Heshou was a confidant of Medicine Master Guo. However, this general of the Ever Victorious Army could be sent to a ghostly place like Qingbaikou to guard it. How could he have so much status?

Even if he knew the guard at the city gate, would he pay attention to him?
  Of course, this was just what Liu Ling said to Wanyan Zongbi.

The most important thing is that when he saw that the number of Jin soldiers behind Wanyan Zongbi seemed to have exceeded his own Zhuozhou Army, his original idea of ​​capturing Yanjing as cleverly as possible immediately turned into a violent attack!

And after entering the city, he must try his best to keep the captured Song officials in his hands, followed by Guo Yaoshi and many family members of the Changsheng Army. As for the captured Jin people, it is better not to think about it. .

The soldiers asked all the questions they could. Wanyan Zongbi didn't care about the victorious general at first. When he finished asking, he casually ordered: "Kill him and throw him to the wild beasts."

He walked to Liu Ling and sat down. Liu Ling took a piece of cake in his hand. Wanyan Zongbi unceremoniously took half of it and put the other half in Liu Ling's hand again.

"Brother Wanyan, are you hungry?"

"How can I not be tired or hungry after galloping for hundreds of miles?" Wanyan Zongbi devoured the food, and Liu Ling had some more brought over. Both of them were military generals with big appetites. After Wanyan Zongbi finished eating, he suddenly said: "I have wine over there. , have a drink with you."

"It is easy to mess up things by drinking while leading the army," Liu Ling shook his head. "After the city is destroyed, the broken flags of the city will be used as a banquet, and the blood of the victorious army will be used as wine. Only then will drinking be enjoyable!"

Wanyan Zongbi's eyes suddenly lit up. What he said while drinking just now was a test to see if Liu Ling was just a martial artist.

well.

He then asked someone to bring some dried meat and the like and continued to eat with Liu Ling. He caught a glimpse of Liu Ling's left arm and said with a smile, "I heard that General Liu cut meat at the top of the city to get arrows. Is this true?" The two of them went their separate ways. They were all thoughtful, and Wanyan Zongbi was trying to win over him, but Liu Ling just talked and flattered him casually, making Wanyan Zongbi very happy.

It was late at night, and the two of them said goodbye and went to rest. The deputy general was a taciturn golden man. When he came to greet Wanyan Zongbi, he asked in a low voice how was Liu Ling?

"A true general." Wanyan Zongbi shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that his heart is like an eagle now. If it is not tamed, it will be difficult to use it."

"What if it really doesn't work?"

"If the eagle cannot be used by me, it means it is not tamed well. Others will only kill such an eagle that is not tamed well. I would like to see how high it can fly if it is not tamed well."

Knowing that he was going to join forces with the Jin people this time, Han Shizhong didn't feel much resistance. After all, the Song army had made an open alliance with the Jin people to destroy the Liao Dynasty before. The Jin people beat the Liao people like dogs, while the Song and Liao people fought against each other. It's dog eat dog, there's no shame in it.

He saw Liu Ling sitting there in a daze and asked in a low voice: "General, what's wrong?"

"When we were in Gaoliang River, if there was even the slightest chance, I wanted to shoot Yaoshi Guo to death." Liu Ling stroked his sword and whispered: "Now I also want to kill Wanyan Zongbi."

"General, why is this?"

It was difficult for Han Shizhong to understand Liu Ling's thoughts.

During this period of the Jin Kingdom, there were so many capable generals who were good at fighting. Most of the respectable Jin people Liu Ling saw had achievements worthy of being listed in the history books.

Even the old guy Shi Liai was left in Zhuozhou by Liu Ling this time. Historically, Shi Liai was originally going to pay the price, but now he doesn't know why, but he is determined to stay with him.

If I continue to occupy the land of Yan, and the Jin army goes south in the future, these fierce Jin generals will bring their soldiers and horses to their faces. Will I be another Guo Pharmacist, or will I be Xie Xuan?

I want to kill him to prevent it in advance, but I can't.

In the early morning, the two people squinted their eyes when they met. After looking at each other for a while, they both saw the dark circles on each other's faces.

After a few words of greeting, they were about to set off. They had spent the whole night repairing last night, and the soldiers had eaten and rested all night. Most of them had recovered their energy, but it was possible to give Yanjing time to react.

Therefore, we cannot wait any longer. We are expected to arrive outside Yanjing City before dusk today. We will first send envoys into the city to make an emergency landing. If the people in the city do not comply, we must attack the city immediately to prevent Medical Master Guo from leading his troops back to help regardless.

Wanyan Zongbi and Liu Ling moved forward separately. Although the two talked close to each other and ate together, once they marched, both sides kept their distance. It was obvious that the two armies were wary of each other.

Yanjing City.

Seeing thousands of soldiers and horses slowly appearing outside the city, it seemed that what happened two years ago was happening again before their eyes. The defenders at the top of the city were in a commotion, and they could only calm down by relying on the generals to suppress them.

There were many civilians in the city. When they heard that Jin Ren and Liu Ling were approaching the city, the whole city began to exude fear.

Wanyan Zongbi asked the envoys to enter the city to persuade him to surrender, while Liu Ling rode his horse and stood on the hillside. Behind him stood Han Shizhong and other cavalrymen. Looking at the familiar city, Liu Ling licked his lips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. rise.

"I'm back."
