Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 129 Regicide (Part )

Datong Prefecture held an alliance, and the Jin Wan Yanmin was the leader. Among the countries close to Yanyun, only one country was not invited.

"Another year."

Han Fang stretched out his hand, and the cold wind flowed from his hand, then turned into the brilliance of the rising sun. Han Fang raised his head to face the rising sun in the east. After the light gradually dissipated, rows of black waves suddenly surged up on the distant horizon.

"Report, Zhen Wuchen has led his army to Shuozhou and is waiting at the camp in front. Please give orders from the commander!"

"Send the order and the entire army must move out of camp."

"Here!"

When he was in Yunzhong, Liu Ling had ordered the mobilization of all the garrison in Yunzhong, and also mobilized 3,000 Zhenyuan troops from Yan. Later, due to the appearance of a large number of Xia troops and the large-scale fighting between Liao and Jin in the Jiashan area, Liu Ling At that time, Ling once again issued an order for all the troops mobilized for the second time to evacuate to Yan.

This time, there were more than 6,000 Yunzhong defenders, plus 3,000 Zhenyuan troops, as well as a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians. From the Jin people's point of view, at least 30,000 Zhenyuan troops had entered Yunzhong.

In their judgment, Liu Ling, with several thousand of the Zhenyuan Army who had just withdrawn from the desert and some defeated Liaoxia troops, could annihilate Wanyan Loushi's entire army, so the strength of the Zhenyuan Army should not be underestimated.

Li Qianshun, the Xia leader who wanted to bring gold, is dead. Li Liangfu, the Xia leader, had a very unfriendly attitude towards the Jin people. Therefore, after the Liao army was completely defeated, he just stationed his troops and horses in place and did not take the initiative to get closer to the Jin people. It was the golden man who promised many conditions, but he didn't move.

Therefore, the situation of the Jin people in Yunzhong Mansion is not good.

"General, I have met the general!"

Zhen Wuchen bowed and saluted, Liu Ling got off his horse, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Did you suffocate in Yandi?"

Hearing this, obvious shame suddenly appeared on the faces of Zhen Wuchen and several generals behind him.

The Jin people are the nightmare in the hearts of the Liao people. There must be some among them who are secretly glad to be able to stay in Yan and not have to fight in the clouds. However, after hearing that their general led his army into the desert, he laid stones on Helan and attacked Ningyuanpo area. After defeating the Jin Army, they felt a little regretful.

How many chances do you have to be named in history?

Liu Ling now put their cowardice in a nicer way, and these generals felt even more ashamed.

"Fang, I have met the handsome man!"

When they reached the central army, Han Fang came out with several civil servants to greet him. Liu Ling motioned for him to lead the way and asked casually: "How are you doing, old Shitou?"

"Shi Gong is in poor health and still needs to be nursed back to health, but he is generally fine."

Han Fang answered a few words, and when everyone sat down in the handsome tent, he asked slowly:

"How many soldiers does the commander have at his disposal now?"

"The Zhenyuan army that originally followed me into Xia now has more than 4,800 soldiers left, and the Xia army that has been surrendered is nearly 20,000. Yelu Dashi has recruited 5,000 Liao soldiers who surrendered for me, and there are also 120,000. Xia Jun serves as backup."

Han Fang thought silently for a while and replied: "The sentinel reported that in the Juyongguan area, Jin generals Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongwang all marched westward, with an estimated strength of over 10,000."

Another golden army of tens of thousands.

"The Jin people want to regroup their troops."

Golden Man, are you coming again?

Many Zhenyuan Army generals present still remember that bloody battle, in which the Jin's iron hoofs killed many of their subordinates.

The Zhenyuan Army generals who followed Zhen Wuchen lowered their heads, feeling a little scared.

Liu Ling knocked on the table, looked around at the generals in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I know that some of you are old generals of the Liao Kingdom. There are also many people in our Zhenyuan Army who were originally from the Liao Kingdom. Soldiers, even I, Liu Ling, was from Liao before."

"The Liao Kingdom is our homeland, which was trampled to pieces by the Jin people. The Yan land is our hometown, which was burnt by the Jin people with war and turned white everywhere."

"Why, why?"

"I used to think that we were not as good as the Jin people. I thought that our physique was not as good as the Jin people. Our ability to bow and horse was not as good as the Jin people. We just couldn't beat them. We were just useless than them! Tell me, is this true?"

Liu Ling slapped the table and stood up, shouting at the generals below.

"How can the commander-in-chief say so that although the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Yan people will not surrender!" Gao Feng stood up suddenly and said loudly: "The commander-in-chief led his army to defeat the Golden Dog at Ningyuanpo. Although many Liao and Xia people participated in this battle, it was a fierce battle. Those who are on top of the front army on the battlefield are our Zhenyuan Army officers and men, our sons in Yandi!

They are all human beings, and the Jin people are not gods. Why should we be afraid of them? "

Gao Feng turned around and shouted at the others: "Are you afraid!"

"I'm not afraid, general!"

Zhao Heshou stood up and raised his right hand: "Zhao's hand was cut off by the golden dog, but in the battle of Ning Yuanpo, I, a cripple, also fought against the golden dog in the left army and hacked one to death with a knife. Everyone, My revenge has been avenged, where are you!"

There were many Zhenyuan Army generals present. After the two stood up and talked, expressions of hatred slowly appeared on their faces. Zhao Heshou looked at them and said angrily: "When the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, we can retreat, because we are just a group of Qiu Ba. What does the rise and fall of the country have to do with us?

When the land of Yan was plundered, we could retreat, because only our money, property, wives and children were taken away, and we could still survive;

Today, we can start over, but do we still have to retreat now?

If we are enemies of the Jin people, we may die, but they are also born from human flesh. Are we so cheap and think we are inferior to them? If they dare to rob our women and land, we will rob theirs. Life or death is just a knife, but if we lower our heads, we will live like dogs forever! "

Zhao Heshou spat and shouted: "I have lived a bad life. Now Mr. Liu can lead us to be human beings, why can't he stand up?" "But."

When Zhen Wuchen first spoke, he clearly felt that he had ignited the emotions of the whole audience. For a while, many cold eyes moved to him.

Where are you but your grandma?

He bit the bullet and said: "I am not the last general. However, after all, the Jin people have swallowed up most of the territory of the Liao Kingdom. There are many households in the country. Now it is just a big defeat. They only need a period of time to recuperate. Recover slowly.

The Jin people can mobilize the power of a country at any time, but we only have thousands of miles of dilapidated land, the people's livelihood is in decline, the soldiers fight every year, the army is seriously war-weary, money and food cannot be self-sufficient, and we can only rely on the Song Dynasty to deliver it.

Although the Xia Kingdom swore an alliance with Liu Gong, the Xia people were cunning and the country's power was weak, while the Song people were treacherous and cowardly and betrayed their trusts many times.

I think that since the Jin people are interested in forming an alliance, they have already placed Liu Gong and our army on the same status as them. We can seize this opportunity and make a truce with the Jin people first. We also need to recuperate. Although there are not many households, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Yan land, and together with the land of Yunzhong, there are actually hundreds of thousands of manpower under its control. "

Although Zhen Wuchen made everyone's momentum stagnant, what he said did not seem to be unreasonable. Soon, several generals also recognized his statement.

"Commander, although we, the Yan people, have a blood feud with the Jin Kingdom, we have been fighting many battles now, and the soldiers are not strong men. They all need to rest. It is better to have a truce and rest, and then seek revenge after recuperating!"

"Yes, Commander. It is not that the officers and men in the army do not want to win. However, after years of fighting, money and food are hard to sustain. Yan Yun needs time to recover."

"That's all."

Liu Ling spoke slowly, as if I didn't want to do this but everyone said so, so I had to go along with it.

Zhen Wuchen immediately came out of the queue, knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Ling, and saluted with his hands in hand.

"The general is stupid, please forgive me, Commander."

Several generals immediately followed him and knelt down to salute.

"I am stupid, please forgive me, Commander!"

Liu Ling looked at them and said calmly: "What are your crimes? Everyone can express their opinions today. I am very pleased. After all, in the future, we are neither Liao people nor Song people, and we brothers can't Just keep fighting to the death, and I will still need to rely on you to govern Yanyun from now on.

Today, I am very happy that you all can use your brains to think. "

Han Fang sat on Liu Ling's left hand side. He could probably make some sense of what happened today.

However, he didn't feel mean.

If Liu Ling was just a common man who could lead troops to fight, then Han Fang would have to work harder and be more forceful. Now that Liu Ling has shown enough skill, he can safely serve under Liu Ling.

But in Han Fang's view, although today's scene was very good and successfully aroused the emotions of the generals in the army, it lacked a finale, so it was not exciting enough.

Only by raising first, then suppressing, and then raising again can the best effect be achieved.

"Report, the commander of the Zuo Army, Yelu Dashi, wants to see you!"

"Invite him in." Liu Ling nodded, but did not let Zhen Wuchen and several generals kneeling on the ground stand up.

"Commander!"

When Yelu Dashi came in, he immediately attracted a lot of attention because he was wearing sackcloth and mourning. Liu Ling was slightly startled and said angrily: "What do you want to do with this look?"

"Commander!" Yelu Dashi plopped, and he knelt heavily on the ground, choking with sobs: "The last general was ordered to go to the north to recruit defeated soldiers, and... to find the Emperor of Liao."

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Could it be that you found it?"

"When General Mo went there, a small group of Jin soldiers had already captured the Emperor of Daliao. After realizing that General Mo had arrived, the Jin soldiers hurriedly tried to cut off his head and take him away, but were rescued by General Mo. But even so, the Emperor of Daliao has not only died, but his body has also been ruined by the Jin people!"

Yelu Dashi knelt on the ground and cried with tears streaming down his face.

Liu Ling was silent for a while and said: "The Emperor of the Liao Kingdom is our old master. From today on, all lieutenants and officers in the army, from myself below to the captain and above, will wear mourning for His Majesty as a token of condolences."

For a moment, all the generals in the commander's tent knelt on the ground one after another. Han Fang suddenly understood and knelt down too.

"I will obey your orders!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

"Let the Jin people know," Liu Ling said with a hint of mourning in his tone. He put one hand on the handle of the knife and made a fist with the other hand and waved: "Let the Jin people know that we will never forget this grudge!"
