Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 126: Those who offend me during the Song Dynasty

The responsibilities of the former army are quite heavy - not to mention clearing roads and building bridges across mountains and rivers. Even if a war begins, most of them are the first wave of engagements by the front army as the vanguard.

"Although the former army suffered hardships, they also made the greatest contribution. Among our Zhenyuan troops, military merit is the most valued. Mr. Liu only values ​​military merit and does not show favoritism."

Hearing this, Liang Zhe glanced at Han Shizhong and hesitated to speak.

When you lick your face and say that the workplace environment is very good, colleagues are friendly, the leadership is fair, and I don’t feel oppressed, is there a possibility that you are the one who receives preferential treatment?

In the battle with the Jin people, Han Shizhong almost wiped out the cavalry under his command, but Liu Ling managed to get him another 600 cavalry, plus a large number of armored infantry, and it seemed that he was going to Fuzhou this time. The fight with the Song people was actually to recruit the remaining Xia troops to surrender.

Liu Ling was the first choice in the Yan region, and Han Shizhong was the first choice in the Zhenyuan army. In Liang Zhe's view, although the latter was a newly promoted general, he was indeed up to date and relied on his military exploits to build himself into the golden signature of the Zhenyuan Army.

"Liu Yanqing of the Song Dynasty led his army to Fuzhou. Although it is impossible for a hundred thousand troops to come out at once, there must be 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers accompanying him. How can we kill him?" Han Shizhong asked.

Liang Zhe was originally a surrendered general in the Xia army, and there were still some contacts in the Xia army who passed on the news. He immediately replied: "Since Lord Xia is dead, the army is gradually short of food, and no one has the will to fight. Therefore, although some people know Liu Yanqing is not Marshal Liu of our Zhenyuan Army, but he can only surrender.

In the past few days, the army has hosted banquets for Liu Yanqing and other Song generals every night. After we join the army, we only need dozens of soldiers to capture and kill them. "

Killing Liu Yanqing in the Xia army would definitely cause an uproar.

The Xia Kingdom attacked the northwest region of the Song Dynasty first, and now the Song people have surrendered. In any case, they have shown goodwill first. If Liu Yanqing dies, the Song Dynasty will be slapped hard by the Xia people again, and the two countries will become enemies. It is possible that a large-scale war will break out again in the future.

Han Shizhong used to look at problems from the perspective of the Song people, but as his status in the Zhenyuan Army increased, he usually analyzed it from the perspective of the Zhenyuan Army's interests.

If the Xia State really turned enemies into friends with the Song Dynasty, who would it be harmful to?

Yandi and Yunzhong are already in the cracks of several countries, which means they are enemies on all sides. The Xia Kingdom is now the only one willing to make every effort to make an alliance with Liu Ling, but Liu Ling does not trust this fragile alliance. As long as Liu Yanqing Once he dies, no matter how thick-skinned the Song people are, they will no longer have contact with the Xia Kingdom in a short time.

"Since more than ten years ago, the soldiers and horses of the Song Kingdom have not only defended the territory, but have repeatedly invaded the territory of our Xia Kingdom. I once led an army to fight with the Song Army, and their soldiers were actually quite strong." Liang Zhe recalled. Then he said calmly: "It's a pity that the generals in the Song army who can lead troops are always short-lived."

He spoke with emotion for a while, but when he raised his head, he found that Han Shizhong was looking into the distance.

The sentries in front galloped over and reported the news - there were Xia military camps across the front, and people from the Xia army had already come out to greet them.

"Here we are?"

"arrive."

The only people you can trust on the battlefield are your comrades and superior officers, so the act of not saving friendly troops will be a huge stain.

The Zhenyuan Army nominally belongs to the Song Army, but Liu Yanqing has never taken Yan Diqiu Ba, who has the same surname as his, seriously. In his opinion, he has been in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops many times, and Liu Ling is just a man with a few soldiers. Thousands of people gathered in the mountains and forests to become bandits, and their military strength was not even as good as Fang La's.

In the commander's tent, Song Jun's civil servants were loudly reporting the number of soldiers and horses in the army.

"The Hedong Pingding Army recruited more than 1,300 new soldiers, most of whom were Liao Zhenggan soldiers recruited in Hebei two years ago."

Liu Yanqing was drinking hot tea. When he heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

He was the one who commanded the battle against Liao two years ago, and the result was a huge defeat.

He put down the teacup unnaturally and said coldly: "Why should you report all these trivial matters in the army to me? Go find the deputy commander to take stock yourself." "Here."

After the civil servants left, several Xia beauties waiting outside were immediately brought in. Liu Yanqing's irritability was relieved a lot. For a while, he hugged her and almost forgot about her troubles.

Just when he was about to go deep, an announcement suddenly sounded outside. Liu Yanqing shuddered, and when the person came in, he immediately cursed.

Wang Zhen was scolded as soon as he came in. His face was confused at first, and then he was furious.

He was also Tong Guan's confidant, but he usually disliked Liu Yanqing, Xin Xingzong and others, but now it was difficult to cause trouble in the army. He held back his anger and said a few words without even saluting, turned around and left, angry. Liu Yanqing picked up the tea cup and smashed it on the ground.

A large number of Xia troops are currently stationed in the north of Fuzhou. After the death of Lord Xia, these troops are still stationed here and have not moved for the time being.

Liu Yanqing wanted to pick up this big leak, so after he led his army to Fuzhou, he first camped outside the city of Fuzhou, and then continued to send people to appease the Xia army. In response, the governor of Fuzhou Zhe Keqiu and the partial general Yao Pingzhongdu Strongly opposed.

The Xia people's envoy came just now and once again invited Liu Yanqing and other Song generals to join the Xia army for a banquet.

Going to banquets and exchanging gifts before the army is an elegant thing. Liu Yanqing has already negotiated terms with many Xia army generals, so he is happy to go and have fun again.

Tong Guan also agreed with his approach and allowed Liu Yanqing to make a promise first to recruit as many Xia troops as possible.

Wang Zhen saw that something was wrong with the Xia envoy who came to invite him today. He was originally going to warn Liu Yanqing, but the latter just scolded him. Wang Zhen was annoyed and naturally he would not remind him again.

At night, the Xiajun camp was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was as festive as if they were celebrating the New Year in advance.

As soon as Liu Yanqing and a few of his confidants entered, they were invited by the Xia people to sit down in the handsome tent. Soon, the maids began to serve food and wine. At this time, a maidservant who was kneeling in front of Liu Yanqing to serve him a drink suddenly shook her hand and the wine bowl hit the ground with a bang.

Liu Yanqing raised his head and saw the tears on the maid's face. He couldn't help frowning and scolding: "It's just that the hands and feet are unsteady. Why are you looking so sad? Who are you showing it to?"

As soon as he shouted, the banquet suddenly became quiet. Several Xia generals looked at him. The maidservant knelt on the ground and whispered: "I was a girl from a good family in Fuzhou. When the Xia people came, I killed my whole family. She was forced to work as a camp prostitute and had to serve here.

The general is the marshal of the Song army, why are you here with Xia?"

The maidservant's voice was very sad. She must have suffered a lot here. Besides her, there must be countless civilians who were ravaged by the Xia people like her.

The blood and shame of the Song people were constantly spilled on their land.

When the Xia army attacked, the most shouted words from all over the prefecture were: Imperial reinforcements will definitely come!

But now, what this maid saw was Liu Yanqing and other Song generals exchanging cups with the Xia people, drinking and drinking together, as if they were brothers!

Why.

She looked up at Liu Yanqing, trying to find the answer.

But the next moment, a clear slap sounded, and Liu Yanqing took back his hand and cursed: "Bitch!"
