Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 121 As long as Marshal Liu opens his mouth, we...
  As soon as Yelu Dashi's military envoy came in, he quickly saluted Liu Ling.

"Young man, I've seen the Prince Consort."

"sit down."

Liu Ling was reading a book in his hand. He put the book down casually and motioned for Cao to serve tea.

"What did your general want to say when he sent you here?"

The envoy glanced at Mr. Cao, who understood and stood up immediately. Liu Ling smiled and said, "Sit down."

"Please also ask the commander to step back and speak."

"It's okay, she is not an outsider, she is my maid."

Cao's face turned red and white, but she did not dare to refuse. The envoy glanced at her with doubtful eyes, gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Ling and said: "I heard that Marshal Renai, most of his subordinates are generals and soldiers of the old Liao army, no? I know if the commander-in-chief is willing to recruit another Liao army!"

The big stone of Yelu is coming down?
  Liu Ling paused for a moment, then put his arms around Ms. Cao, covering up his shock.

But since it is Yelu Dashi, it is not surprising.

On the eve of the final decisive battle between the Liao Emperor and the Jin Army in history, Yelu Dashi killed two Liao generals and fled with more than two hundred of his followers.

Because when they were in Yanjing two years ago, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian proclaimed the new emperor without authorization, and then he was captured by the Jin army and forced to lead the way. He escaped with a narrow escape and returned to the Liao Emperor, who was extremely distrustful of him.

Liu Ling stroked Cao's hair and said lazily: "How many soldiers are there?"

The military envoy hesitated and replied, "More than five thousand people."

There were almost no weaklings who could follow Emperor Liao all the way here, but Liu Ling was not dazzled by the benefits that came from the sky. Instead, he sneered. The military envoy raised his head and his eyes moved slightly.

"I, Liu Ling, don't have any special abilities. I don't think Yelu Dashi can easily surrender me."

"Tell me, what conditions does he have?"

"My general said that after he surrenders, he will definitely follow the commander's orders, but he hopes that the commander can ask for rewards from the Song people and be made a marquis. After that, he is willing to recruit the old troops of the Liao Kingdom for the commander to guard Yunzhong!"

"Haha, you are waiting for me here." Liu Ling hugged Ms. Cao, patted her buttocks, and said with a smile, "Do you know who she is?"

"I'm so stupid, I don't know."

"Introduce yourself." Liu Ling slightly increased the strength in his hands.

Therefore, wives are indeed considerate and know what posture to use by patting their buttocks.

Mrs. Cao adapted very quickly to her current situation, especially after knowing that Li Qianshun was likely to be injured by an arrow from the Song Dynasty. She might have to rely on the man in front of her for the rest of her life.

There are also internal fights among the Dangxiang tribes. Brothers will succeed each other, and after the father dies, the son inherits the inheritance. Sometimes it is not just the family business, but also women.

It is also common for someone to be snatched away to become someone else's wife.

Therefore, Mrs. Cao stood up magnanimously and said softly: "I was originally the Xian Concubine of Xia Guo. Now, I serve Liu Gong like a willow. Fortunately, Liu Gong shows his kindness and pity."

The messenger was stunned for a while.

Liu Ling leaned forward slightly. The messenger noticed his gaze and suddenly felt a sense of suffocation. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"You guys should know the news that Lord Xia was shot and injured. You should also know that I have made an oath to the Queen Mother of Xia people. That's why Yelu Dashi sent people here."

The envoy opened his mouth and murmured: "But, the evidence between you and the Xia Kingdom."

Halfway through, he got stuck.

Nao Niang thief, the noble concubine of the Xia people was snatched away by Liu Ling, so the oath of alliance must be true.

In addition, the Queen Mother of Xia's surname was Yelu, and her position was leaning towards the Liao State, so Yelu Dashi naturally became interested.

"I guarantee that he will have an official and a title, but don't expect too much. Among the Zhenyuan Army, the first priority is military merit. He is a newly attached general. There is no reason to rank directly in front of the generals under me."

"My general can surrender with five thousand elite troops!"

"I am sending you these five thousand men?" Liu Ling slammed the table and stood up, with an aura of calmness and dignity, and the envoy immediately lowered his head again.

"Does Yelu Dashi think he has enough money? Or does he think he is giving me charity?"

"My general has absolutely no such thing."

"I tell you!"

Liu Ling shouted: "The Xia people's noble concubine is here with me, and the soldiers and horses in the Xia people's country are my soldiers and horses. Guess, after the death of the Xia Lord, who will own the 30,000 Xia troops under him?"

I have 30,000 yuan, why should I miss you 5,000 yuan?
  Liu Ling looked at the other party coldly, his momentum not losing at all.

In fact, even if the Xia Lord died, Queen Mother Yelu would not be able to give all of the 30,000 elites to Liu Ling. At most, she would allow him to intercept one third.

But the envoy was only a civil servant in the military and knew a lot of information, but he knew nothing about the real inside story.

In his opinion, since the Xia people had already sworn an alliance, after the death of Lord Xia, the Zhenyuan Army commander might actually be able to capture the 30,000-strong army.

Even the Xia coach Li Liangfu led an army of 30,000 to confront the Liao army in Shuozhou, just in case he also
  Finally, add the soldiers and horses of Yandi, hiss. The commander-in-chief of the Zhenyuan Army will really have 100,000 elite soldiers by then, and he can even claim to have an army of 3 to 500,000.

The envoy's breathing quickened, and he began to feel that the conditions given by his general were really unattractive.

However, he was not a fool after all. He passed away after being coaxed by Liu Ling. Yelu Dashi sent him to negotiate terms and strive for benefits. Apart from his identity as a confidant, he also had enough brains.

But before the envoy could react, a notification sounded outside. Liu Kai lifted the curtain and walked in, looking at the Liao envoy lying on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Kai looked at Liu Ling, as if they were meeting for the first time, and said solemnly: "I am the military envoy of the Song Dynasty."

The Liao army envoy was suddenly startled and listened attentively to Liu Kai's words.

"Master Tong is about to lead the army to the north,"

A smile appeared on Liu Ling's lips, he nodded slightly and said, "Does the Grand Master have any instructions?"

"The Grand Master said that the defeat of the Liao Dynasty two years ago is still vivid in his mind. Every time he thinks of so many soldiers killed in the Liao Kingdom, he will be so angry that he can't eat for a whole day!"

Liu Kai said angrily: "The conflict between Liao and Xia is a good opportunity for me, the Song Dynasty, to avenge the previous humiliation!"

"The Western Army has 50,000 troops, the Forbidden Army has 150,000 troops, and our Song Dynasty has 200,000 troops, which is enough to completely destroy the Liao Kingdom."

Liu Kai's voice seemed to still be echoing in the commander's tent, which shocked the Liao army envoy's mind. However, he composed his mind and suddenly sneered at Liu Ling: "Commander, you found this person to act in the army. Bar."

Liu Ling was neither angry nor annoyed. He looked at Liu Kai and said with a smile: "Show him the seal of your envoy and your official seal. By the way, do you have any companions? Call him over and verify it together." Now, let’s give our tough-talking brother from the Liao Kingdom some experience.”

After a while, Ma Kuo, who looked upright, walked in and also showed his official seal and proof of his identity as an envoy.

He and Liu Kai were supposed to be envoys to Xixia one after another, so naturally it couldn't be true anymore.

The envoy from the Liao Kingdom trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again.

"Commander, I beg you on behalf of my family. As long as he has an official title and the surrendered soldiers are treated the same as those of Zhenyuan soldiers, then I will be satisfied. I beg Marshal to be merciful!"

"You are actually the envoy of the Liao Kingdom!" Liu Kai was immediately "shocked" and pointed at the other party and shouted.

The Liao envoy ignored him and only kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Prince-in-law, please, Prince-in-law, not only for the sake of being an old friend of the Liao Kingdom, but also for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess, please be merciful and take us in!"

Liu Ling looked hesitant and seemed reluctant, but in the end, he nodded.

The Liao envoy kowtowed to him twice more excitedly and left with tears in his eyes.

"Liu Gong, you did a good job in the official position just now." Liu Kai was a little proud. He was much older than Liu Ling and even Ma Kuan, and he showed a bit of an old naughty temperament at this moment.

Liu Ling took a sip of tea, shook his head slightly, and commented:

"Exaggerated."
