Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 128: Forever Belonging to the Great Golden Domain

"The general ordered us to attack the city last night, why did you two retreat first?"

Liang Zhe looked at the two Xia generals in front of him and shouted sharply.

Liu Ling offered a very high price, so most of the generals in the Xia army turned to Liu Ling. Liang Zhe had the talisman given by Liu Ling, so he now nominally commanded the Xia army.

When they came, Liang Zhe and Han Shizhong were originally preparing for a fight, but it was too easy to kill Liu Yanqing and others last night, so Liang Zhe proposed to attack another city to intensify the conflict between Song and Xia.

Anyway, the two countries turned against each other, and it was the Zhenyuan Army that benefited.

Most of the generals in the Xia army did not understand the twists and turns here. In their opinion, they could rob the Song people again before leaving, so why not do it?

Seeing Liang Zhe being so shameless, the two Xia generals also became a little angry. One of them immediately cursed: "Liang Zhe, I'm so sorry for your mother! You are a father-killing piece of shit, relying on Marshal Liu's talisman. Show your own majesty, who in the whole army will think highly of you?"

"None of us are born out of swords and guns, so why are you showing off your power here? Tell you, if I don't serve you anymore, I will join the Song Dynasty!" The general cursed a few words and actually turned around and left.

Liang Zhe's face turned grim and he said coldly: "Vote to Song Dynasty?"

"I have been ordered by the Lord to find a path to wealth for all my colleagues. It's fine that you are not grateful now, but you are still shouting that you want to vote for the Song Dynasty?" Liang Zhe did not say anything to persuade him to stay, but loudly said from behind: "You go now, Let’s see if the Song people are willing to take you in now!”

The commander-in-chief of the Song army this time was Liu Yanqing. From the commander-in-chief Liu Yanqing to the former military commander Xin Xingzong and others, they were all trapped in the Xia camp. Wails broke out in the army. If this Xia general dared to surrender now, he would probably be defeated. He was eaten alive by Song soldiers.

Liang Zhe looked at the other party with confidence. The latter was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Then I will lead the army back to China."

"The Queen Mother of the Xia Kingdom has an order. The soldiers and soldiers on the front line must all obey the words of Marshal Liu of the Zhenyuan Army and accept him as the commander-in-chief. If you don't obey, it will be regarded as rebellion!"

As soon as he said this, many Xia generals present looked up at him with ugly expressions.

Everyone used to follow Lord Xia to attack the Song Kingdom. Now Lord Xia died suddenly. After they return, they can still build a tribe with their own military strength. Who cares about the Queen Mother Yelu?

"Report!"

The atmosphere in the commander's tent was tense. A captain walked in and shouted: "The envoys from the Zhenyuan Army and the domestic envoys have arrived."

The place where the Zhenyuan Army and the Jin Army fought was called Ningyuanpo, near Ningyuan County in Wuzhou.

The famous Jin general Wanyan Loushi was defeated here and his entire army was annihilated. The news has reached the Song court. It is said that some courtiers called it the great victory of Ningyuan.

There were already objections to the measures to unite Jin and Liao to fight against Liao, but now that Liu Ling has defeated Xia, Liao and Jin in succession, more people in the court are still impeaching Liu Ling for arrogantly engaging in border provocations and disobeying orders.

The people of the Song Dynasty did not even cherish their own soldiers and horses, let alone the Zhenyuan Army. Originally, Hedong Road still wanted to seize the money and food of the Zhenyuan Army, but when the news that Liu Yanqing and others were "dead in battle" came out, several state capitals in the northeast of Hebei Province all gathered together He immediately sent people to Wuzhou to collect money and food, and begged Marshal Liu of the Zhenyuan Army to quickly send troops to take charge of the overall situation.

After all, the death of Liu Yanqing and several generals was too ridiculous, so the news announced by the army was that they died in battle.

As a result, everyone in Hedong heard this and thought that even the commander-in-chief and the former army were killed in the battle. How bad has the war situation in Northern Xinjiang gotten?

"What did Li Liangfu say?"

Liu Ling rested his head on Cao's knees and asked lazily.

"Li Liangfu is unwilling to surrender, but if our army provides some money and food, he can exchange for war horses and ordnance."

"Those weapons and weapons from the Xia Kingdom are suitable for making dog-beating sticks for beggars." Liu Ling smiled and said, "Tell Li Liangfu that a war horse can be exchanged for five stones of grain. Also, remind him that if he gets the second-rate The packhorse managed to get through, so I won’t change it. I’ll see the Zhenyuan Army and the Xia people directly on the battlefield!”

Li Liangfu had already learned about the terror of the Jin Army. In fact, when Li Liangfu faced off against the Jin Army Wanyan Loushi, he had a small victory over the opponent in a few games at the beginning.

However, after the Jin people became familiar with the local geographical environment, the battle situation became a crushing one again.

So in the first battle with the Jin Army, they defeated Wanyan Lou's Zhenyuan Army head-on. How terrible must it be?

Li Liangfu relied on his own army of 20,000 to 30,000 men and was unwilling to surrender to Liu Ling, but he also did not dare to start a war with the Zhenyuan Army without permission, so he sent horses that afternoon. After the general in charge of the army's horses reported the number, he bowed, saluted, and left. .

Liu Ling took a battle report and said with a smile: "It's done."

Mrs. Cao knew that he was talking to himself and did not dare to answer.

She wondered if the two generals had gone to Fuzhou, but soon, Liu Ling gently pinched her chin and asked her to look up at the letter in her hand.

"Your son has become the crown prince of Xia Kingdom."

Ms. Cao was stunned for a moment and immediately knelt on the ground.

"His mother is Queen Mother Yelu."

This woman is very smart.

Liu Ling played with her hair, but there was something in her heart that she didn't say.

Why did he insist on asking for the Cao family in Xingqing Mansion?

If Yelu Nanxian wants to confront him in the future, Liu Ling can use the Cao family as an excuse to attack Xixia again.

Thinking of this, Liu Ling rubbed her head and said in a gentler tone: "Be good." Xixia has once again mobilized 120,000 troops to march eastward, which is also Liu Ling's request. Now both the Song and Jin countries knew that he had sworn an oath with the Xia people. The new queen mother of the Xia Kingdom was also named Yelu, and she was obviously close to Liu Ling.

The 120,000 Xia troops can dispel the Jin people's thoughts of revenge in the short term, and can also arouse the Song people's thoughts of ceding territory and negotiating peace.

An announcement sounded outside. Liu Ling raised his head and said, "Come in."

Gao Feng, who hadn't seen him for a long time, patted the snow on his body, walked in, and bowed to Liu Ling.

"General, I have met the commander-in-chief."

"You used to be a bait to attract Xia Jun, and you did a very good job of attracting him. I appreciate your contribution."

"How dare you, the general?"

Gao Feng immediately lowered his head deeper.

Liu Ling motioned him to sit down and asked: "Yan Di is my Zhenyuan Army. In addition, I am planning to set up another four armies. When the time comes, I will let you be the military governor of one of the towns. I would like to no?"

"I would like to express my gratitude to the commander-in-chief for his kindness. I am willing to go through fire and water for the commander-in-chief without any hesitation!"

Gao Feng, Zhao Heshou and other generals from the Ever Victorious Army, as well as the newly surrendered Yelu Dashi, were all former generals of the Liao Kingdom.

Led by Han Shizhong, they were Han people from Yan and a small number of soldiers originally from the Song Army.

Liang Zhe and others were from Xia.

The relationship between the three generals was friendly on the surface, but in fact they formed three factions in the army to check and balance each other. This was also the result of Liu Ling's deliberate indulgence.

In addition to the interests in the military, the power structure of Yandi and Yunzhong needed to be adjusted for the second time. The military generals could no longer be the main ones. Liu Ling began to send a large number of people to win over the former Liao scholars and those who had retired and were unwilling to serve. Official bureaucracies set up their own officials and establish their own rules and systems.

The Song people were in extreme chaos because of Liu Yanqing's death. The court needed some time to relax and think about countermeasures, so now it can only appease Liu Ling first and stabilize Yandi and Yunzhong as much as possible.

Yan Di was previously released to Liu Ling with the tacit consent of the court, but Yun Zhong did not.

It's just that this time a melee of the Three Kingdoms broke out in Yunzhong. The rule that the Song people had barely established here had collapsed, and they could no longer actually control it. Liu Ling relied on the arrival of Xia's reinforcements and began to attack Yunzhong Mansion on a large scale. Many cities that originally surrendered to the Jin people have now changed their gates and surrendered to Liu Ling.

a few days later.

It is already the seventh year of Xuanhe, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Wang Ahai, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, asked for an audience and asked Liu Ling to meet at Datong Mansion, which was the original Xijing of the Liao Kingdom.

"Wanyan Loushi ran away?"

Liu Ling put down the autographed letter from Jinjun coach Wan Yangao and smiled.

Wang Ahai lowered his head and said softly: "One fight cannot determine the outcome of the tripod. If we, Dajin, were defeated in one battle, we would not be able to achieve what we are today. However, the commander-in-chief of our army and the emperor of our country are not willing to do anything tampering anymore." Weapons.

Marshal Liu, let this Northland recuperate for a while. "

"Recuperate?"

Liu Ling laughed and said: "Zhenyuan's army is 50,000, the Liao surrendered 20,000, the Song's Western Army is 100,000, and the Xia's army is 120,000. I have an army of 300,000. You said that the Jin Kingdom does not want to move anymore." Weapons? But I, Yan Yun, have many warriors who want to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

Wang Ahai took a deep breath and stated the conditions: "His Majesty, the Emperor of our country, allows the commander-in-chief to found the country in Yanyun, and all the land thousands of miles behind the mountains of the Liao Kingdom can be allocated to you. I, Da Jin, can recognize you as my nephew. country."

For a Qiu Ba, being crowned king was the ultimate, let alone the words "founding a country".

Turn home into country

"The Liu family will become the sky of this northern land." Wang Ahai said calmly.

"Oh?"

Liu Ling came to him and asked with great interest: "How come I remember, didn't you say before that Dajin is the sky in the north?"

"Why did you change your tune?"

Seeing Wang Ahai's face getting increasingly ugly, Liu Ling sat back on his seat and said softly: "I'll go to the alliance. But this conferment from the Kingdom of Jin is something I don't like!"

Wang Ahai lowered his head and took a deep breath: "I will tell you."
