Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 95 Going straight to Huanglong
  A flower is most beautiful when it is in full bloom and when it withers.

The same is true for a city. When it was built, it was majestic and majestic, symbolizing the spirit of the new dynasty. When it turns into ruins, the feeling of dilapidation and decay is also incomparable. Even sitting on the ruins and painting a sketch is enough for future generations to look at the painting and think about it over and over again.

Liu Ling was too lazy to have that kind of elegance, and just sat on the top of the city, staring at the scenery in the city in a daze.

He has finished the painting. Except for a few details that are worthy of his consideration, there are many more places that he is too lazy to modify and check no matter how rough they are. It's like a cow can regurgitate its cud, but if a person swallows the vomited food, it will only make them feel sick.

The siege of the city relied on the efforts of the Jin people, but he also led the Zhuozhou army into the city. A lot of blood and killings in the city were also caused by him.

When I was doing it, I felt refreshed, but after I finished it, I felt confused.

There was a sigh in his ears, and then someone sat down next to him.

Several soldiers were following him. Liu Ling waved his hand to signal them to disperse. Without even bothering to turn his head to take a look, Liu Ling said casually: "Ms. Wang."

"General Liu."

It was windy at the top of the city, and Wang Anzhong couldn't help coughing. He followed Liu Ling's gaze and saw the fire in the city. He smiled bitterly and rubbed his face, instinctively wanting to say something to relieve the embarrassment.

After all, he is still the nominal leader of this city.

"After returning home safely, I think General Liu can be granted a title of marquis due to his ability to stabilize the situation, right?" He spoke with some support to the other party. Wang Anzhong also used the official rules habitually, but Liu Ling shook his head. Said: "The general will not dare."

Then, nothing was said and there was still silence.

With the Wanyan brothers, Liu Ling still needs to show some attitude, but there is no need to talk nonsense with Wang Anzhong. The relationship between the two parties was originally normal, and Wang Anzhong now wants to come over and pick up some affection. Haha, it's too late.

Wang Anzhong stretched his neck and waited for the next sentence. Seeing that there was no reply, he thought for a moment and smiled.

"That's true. I don't deserve General Liu to say anything now, but I would like to ask, what General Liu is going to do next?"

Without waiting for Liu Ling to answer or remain silent, he added:

"If I were a general, my next step would be to focus on Yan's territory, win over the ever-victorious army, and gain the remaining power of Yan, and I might not be able to be crowned king."

The real big shots all knew that Tong Guan's expedition against Liao was just that, but they all tacitly agreed not to take the initiative to raise the lid.

If a tree has no bark, it will die. If they lose their dignity, then someone else will die.

Listening to Wang Anzhong's half-questioning, half-inquiry words, Liu Ling suddenly smiled and lowered his head to play with a dead branch, "It seems that Wang Xianggong understands very well, but why did he end up in such a situation?"

"It's not because the thief Guo Yaoshi has no moral character and will rebel whenever he wants!"

Wang Anzhong was a little offended by what he said, and his face immediately turned red.

"Yes, remember, even after you go back, you must say that it was Pharmacist Guo who did it. He forced you and threatened you. This thief must be killed." Liu Ling put his arm around Wang Anzhong's shoulders. The latter's body trembled, but he did not Reject or push away.

"Old Wang, what about you, tell me whose idea it was this time?"

"Since you know this, why do you ask?"

"I find it very strange." Liu Ling poked Wang Anzhong in the heart with the dead branch and said softly: "Tan Zhen and Tong Guan also worked together before. Even if they are eager for quick success and quick gain, they have to get rid of the people in Hebei first. All the powerful people took over.

As for you, you just announced the Fu Yanshan, and you are taking charge of the place to win over people's hearts. If you two want to take credit, you are right in front of you, so why bother to rush to get rid of other people's pots? "

Hearing Liu Ling's voice, Wang Anzhong's expression slowly turned horrified. He glanced at Liu Ling in astonishment and said without hesitation: "It's just me who is eager for quick success and quick gain, and it's also me who acts arrogantly and recklessly. Don't talk nonsense."

He didn't say anything, but it seemed like he said everything.

Who else can make Wang Anzhong dare not say it even at all costs?

Liu Ling nodded slightly, pushed him away, and continued to look at the scenery in the city.

The Jin army was in Jizhou, Jingzhou, the Song army was in Yizhou, Zhuozhou, and Yanjing was occupied by Liu Ling and the Jin army together, as if forming a triangle, with Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun in the middle.

After Yanjing was broken, Guo Yaoshi, who should have immediately returned to defend and try to recapture the base camp, did not return at all.

"Urgent report from the east!"

"Urgent report from the north!" - "Something happened in the Gaoliang River!"

The three parties almost received the urgent report.

The two Wanyan brothers listened silently. Then, Wanyan Zongwang took a piece of paper, opened the pen and wrote a few pieces of paper, sealed it, and called out:

"Zhang Wu."

After being imprisoned for half a month, Zhang Wu's face became thinner than his, and there were bruises on his face. Because Wanyan Zongwang was a golden man, the jailers often beat, scolded and humiliated him. It was Zhang Wu who tried his best to protect him and gave his own meal to Wanyan Zongwang.

When he was rescued from the prison, Zhang Wu was too weak and fainted as soon as he came out. He was immediately sent to the Jin for treatment. Therefore, when Liu Ling arrived, he didn't see Zhang Wu at all.

"Are you feeling better?"

Wanyan Zongwang handed him the letter and said with a smile: "There are good doctors in the city. You must take good care of yourself and don't let your body get damaged."

"I'm fine, thank you all." Zhang Wu saluted and walked out silently. Wanyan Zongwang suddenly remembered something and said, "You give the letter to someone outside to deliver. Come and sit down. I want to Let me ask you a few words."

"It doesn't matter if you say so." Zhang Wu sat calmly, and after listening to Yan Zongwang asked: "You were Liu Ling's general before, can you persuade Liu Ling to surrender for me?"

Zhang Wu stared at him for a while and said: "General Liu's heart is as solid as a rock, but his subordinates are dull and difficult to convince."

Wanyan Zongbi said from the side: "Whether it's possible or not, how about giving it a try first?"

"That's all."

When Zong Wang saw Zhang Wu's expression, he shook his head and waved for Zhang Wu to go out. He sat on the chair again and sighed at the letter on the table.

"what happened?"

"It's not a big deal to arrive." Zong Wang sneered, "Guo Pharmacist left most of the Victory Army stationed in place, about fifteen thousand, and he took advantage of the night to lead four thousand elites by himself. Going north, depending on what he means, he wants to go to the north."

"Northern Expedition?"

Wanyan Zongbi was stunned for a moment, and then he and his brother burst into laughter.

Elsewhere in the city, Liu Ling looked at the military report and raised his head thoughtfully. In front of him, several generals bowed and held their hands.

"Dr. Guo is going to stud?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what General Liu was talking about. Liu Ling thought for a while and said: "Give me the order and immediately order the cavalry in the army. Follow me to Gaoliang River tonight. Gao Feng and Zhao Heshou, you two will take the rest of Zhuozhou with you." The army, the rescued prisoners, and the family members of the generals of the Ever Victorious Army will leave Yanjing immediately tomorrow morning and join me at the Gaoliang River."

"promise!"

"I will send an envoy immediately to prepare for the handover with the Ever Victorious Army."

To the north, there is the army of the Jin people. The Great Wall, dominated by Juyongguan, was originally used to defend against foreigners, but now it is completely occupied by the Jin people.

Breaking the Great Wall and seizing the wolf as a bastard is a feat that countless generals dream of.

In the Kingdom of Jin, rebellions are constantly rising, and they are trampled upon and trampled on by the Jin people time and time again.

The initial resistance from the Khitan and Xi tribes, as well as the Xixia region and the grasslands behind Jiashan, was extremely strong. At this moment, food shortages broke out in the Jin Kingdom.

To the south, most of the troops that should have taken Pingying and Luanzhou were withdrawn, but now they have to continue to garrison because the situation is out of control, and the country even has to send more troops there.

So there are two possibilities.

When Guo Yaoshi's 4,000 elite troops make a surprise attack northward, they will either be blocked in the Great Wall until they are defeated and the generals are killed, or he will become the last straw that breaks the Jin Kingdom's back.

The further north you go, the weather seems to return to the harsh winter.

Pharmacist Guo rode his horse and raised the flag, shouting to the people around him: "The Jin people have bullied me too much. Today's Northern Expedition is not only to support me, His Majesty the Emperor of Liao Dynasty, but also to take revenge! All of you, please follow me north from the Great Wall and go straight to the Great Wall." Break the yellow dragon!"
