Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 166 Substitution

Zhang Shuye came out of the capital with a long procession of honor guards behind him, among which three luxurious carriages were faintly moving forward slowly.

He rode his horse and walked at the front of the team. Common people stood on both sides of the street. This time, even the surrounding Song Dynasty Imperial Army could not stop them from insulting and spitting at Zhang Shuye.

Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were all thrown at his feet and body.

Zhang Shuye rode forward silently. Unfortunately, the horse under him suffered a lot. There was a rotten vegetable leaf stuck on the horse's butt. It bumped as it went forward, but it couldn't fall off. Know who is mocking.

They were disdainful, they reviled, they were filled with righteous indignation, and there were even people outside shouting, "Kill Zhang Thief and thank the world!"

Zhang Shuye raised his head and looked at the top of the city gate. The defenders standing on the city tower were silent, with complicated eyes.

The latter saw with his own eyes the whole process of how Zhang Shuye and Fan Qiong's two Qinwang armies were torn to pieces by Yanyun's army, so many soldiers and generals knew that Zhang Shuye could not actually be blamed, because when they faced the Han During the attack, the defenders in the city just watched from the top of the city. There was not even a team that dared to come out of the city to meet them.

The city gate slowly opened, and a "welcome" team appeared outside the city. When hundreds of black-armored cavalry appeared among them, the civilians who were shouting and cursing at the city gate seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand. The throat suddenly became quiet.

It is now the end of autumn, and the black armor of the cavalry has an icy sheen, making people feel a chill involuntarily.

If the two King Qin armies could have withdrawn from the battlefield after a fierce battle, then the people in the city would still have great hope. However, the former was brutally beaten and annihilated under the watchful eyes of countless generals and sergeants at the top of the city, so that the imperial court Later I couldn't even hide it.

In the city, countless versions of rumors were circulated, saying that King Qin's army from all over the country totaled 200,000, and they had all been wiped out by the Yan bandits outside the city.

Moreover, the Yan thieves who went south were not only tens of thousands of people, but an elite army of 300,000!

My dear mother, 300,000 yuan, I’m afraid I can massacre the entire capital, right?

Of course, the reason why the imperial court so readily agreed to Liu Ling's conditions was not just because the city began to fear, but because the daily population of the entire capital exceeded one million, and Liu Ling's army deliberately blocked the grain roads outside, and the capital soon couldn't bear it.

At the same time, Liu Ling asked Zhang Shuye to contribute to the letter to the official family.

He threatened in the letter that if he did not comply with the conditions, he would flood Bianjing with the water of the Yellow River!

Therefore, the officials could only agree to these extremely rude alliances under the city at the request of hundreds of officials.

Liang Zhe raised his head, and the cavalry behind him drew their swords. Under the sunlight, the sharp blades immediately reflected the frightened faces of the Song people in the distance.

"The last general, Liang Zhe, was ordered by the King of Han to welcome Emperor Ji of the Song Dynasty to Yan!"

What he shouted was the Mandarin of the Song Dynasty, and he practiced it for most of the night last night. Today he shouted it with perfect pronunciation.

The so-called Mandarin of the Song Dynasty is almost the Kaifeng dialect and Luoyang dialect of Henan during that period.

Even if it is a little flawed, at least it will let the defenders at the top of the city and the civilians at the city gate know that the "Yan Thief"'s goal has been achieved.

This of course caused another wave of outrage.

A group of barbarians, a group of barbarians who only know how to steal money, food and women!

Zhang Shuye rode his horse out of the city alone. After approaching the black-armored cavalry, he dismounted, walked to the cavalry, and then bowed and saluted the general who shouted.

"My envoy Zhang Shuye has met General Liang."

He knew Liang Zhe because he had met him on the battlefield before. Now that he saw Liang Zhe's eyes sweeping over him, Zhang Shuye felt a burning pain on his face.

The other party was looking at the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on his body with great interest.

"Zhang Angel, please tell me which of the three empresses are getting married?" The other party asked so directly, with no respect in his tone. Zhang Shuye suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Da Song, Marry the Emperor Shunde and two other concubines."

Zong Ji is the so-called princess.

Zhang Shuye saw Liang Zhe raise his hand. Behind him, hundreds of cavalrymen seemed to have been prepared. None of them sheathed their swords, but were quickly forming an array.

"what are you up to!"

Zhang Shuye shouted immediately. He still held the unread imperial edict in his hand. At this time, he could only say angrily: "I have followed the order of the King of Han to ask the imperial court for his daughter to marry. You are his general. Could it be that you are his general?" Are you going to decide to disobey the imperial court on behalf of the King of Han?"

Liang Zhe turned a deaf ear and drew his sword and shouted:

"I, a Xiaman, don't know etiquette! The King of Han said that he only wanted the emperor's concubine. Now that you are marrying two concubines, how can I, the general, return my life to the king?"

He raised the blade and pointed it at Zhang Shuye, shouting: "Go back and change!"

Zhang Shuye stood alone outside the city, at least a hundred steps away from the city gate behind him, but Liang Zhe not only wanted to shout to him alone, but immediately, under his order, that person Hundreds of black-armored cavalry began to retreat slightly, and then began to form a charging cone-head formation.

As a result, the wedding party and civilians who were still blocking the city gate exploded in an instant. Many people dropped what they were doing and crawled away from the city gate.

Zhang Shuye took a step forward and shouted: "In full view of everyone, I would like to ask General Liang not to be angry for the time being. Zong Ji is also a daughter of the clan. It is better to go back and ask the King of Han first. It is not too late for me to welcome you today."

After saying that, he saw that Liang Zhe was unmoved. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt down directly.

"General Liang, please pass on your words, money, food, and clan daughters, and please give me your honor!"

Liang Zhe couldn't help laughing when he saw him actually kneeling down in front of him, and then replied:

"Face is not given to you by others."

Zhang Shuye dug his fingers deeply into his palms. He raised his head and finally said angrily: "I also have a hundred thousand elite forbidden troops in the Song Dynasty."

"Then you type it out." Liang Zhe replied lightly.

If you really can fight better than me, why bother stressing over and over again?

Zhang Shuye stood up, looked back dejectedly, and saw the astonishment on the faces of the defenders on the top of the city.

They didn't hear what Liang Zhe said. They only saw Zhang Shuye kneel down in front of a group of northern captives.

Liang Zhe said lazily: "If Bai Rao and the two concubines are here today, then the general will shamelessly accept them for my king. But we agreed in advance that we would give them to the emperor concubine, but now we have to use the concubine to make up the number. The people of Song Dynasty do things So unhappy?

Or, continue to fight. If you don't dare to fight, our Han army will blockade the outside of your capital and make your city run out of food every day. Let's see how long it takes for you to change your sons and eat each other in the city.

Zhang Zhizhou, I know that you are suffering, and I also know that it is not easy for you. Your humiliation today is so that millions of people in Bianjing can survive. Think about it, your court would rather let you grovel and be humiliated outside the city, but they still have to torment in these places. It is obvious that they don't regard you as a human being!

I am here to tell you clearly that I can't accept just two Zongji. After I go back, I will have to be punished by the king. If you Song people are really tough, why don't the millions of people in the city come out to drive our army away?

I will wait here. Since you have brought three people today, I, the general, will first greet the Imperial Concubine inside. Then, you can go to the city to bring out the other two Imperial Concubines. Remember, the Imperial Concubine of the Song Dynasty is the king of the country. Color, heaven and fragrance, both are indispensable. "
