Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 167 Song Nu

The south gate was kept open. People in the city were sneaking around at first, and then some people took advantage of this moment to bribe the gatekeepers, and then quickly dragged their families and left through the open gate.

During this period, the hundreds of black-armored cavalry had been waiting outside the city, but did not actively intercept the teams leaving the city.

In order to compete for the chance to get out first, in just half a day, more than a dozen fights broke out at the city gate. The servants of the powerful were beating fiercely at the city gate, but they were stopped by the officials who finally heard the news and rushed over. There is nothing to do with those who want to leave the city, because some of them are even their relatives and colleagues.

Chen Dong looked at this scene coldly, and then stepped forward. It was already dusk outside, and the sky was getting dark. He couldn't see the faces of the soldiers at the city gate. When the other party saw him, he didn't ask any questions and just extended his hand.

"money."

Chen Dong threw a money bag into the soldier's hand, which contained his savings and two hairpins.

Outside, the sun was setting over the western mountains, and the red clouds were thousands of miles away. The gloomy night was constantly eroding the sky. Hundreds of black-armored cavalry outside the city blurred into one piece. Chen Dong got on his horse and took the initiative to come to the cavalry. He was brought to Liang Zhe and met The latter said a few words, and Liang Zhe immediately signaled the two cavalrymen to lead the way.

Chen Dong had no intention of talking to the two cavalrymen and rode fast behind them. He saw a huge camp in the distance. There were a large number of rangers cruising around the outside. The lights were brightly lit inside and no movement could be heard.

When he finally arrived outside the handsome tent, Chen Dong felt exhausted all over his body, but after the sound of "come in" came from inside, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he straightened his clothes and then walked in.

The first thing he saw was Liu Ling.

The black royal robe, crown, and simple accessories only accentuated his majestic mountainous aura.

Chen Dong's original idea of ​​how to greet and speak during the meeting was forgotten for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he sat directly on the ground in front of Liu Ling, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and then said softly:

"Are you so lustful?"

His eyes moved to Liu Ling's side, where a graceful and graceful young woman was kneeling beside him. She was so beautiful that she seemed to be the one in the painting.

"Snatched?"

"more or less."

"Are you ready to grab a few more?"

"Ah."

Liu Ling and Chen Dong occasionally exchanged letters. Even the doctors in Taixue probably didn't know that the "letters from home" and gifts that this student occasionally received came from the distant land of Yan.

One is studying quietly in the capital, waiting for the imperial court to grant him a minor official, while the other has been fighting in Yan for three years and has already achieved fame. The status gap between the two has long been too great to touch. But when they met again, they still talked like normal friends.

"You want to persuade me to stop?"

"Yes."

"Okay, if your Chen family can provide a dowry of one million yuan, and your Chen Dong, if you give me a daughter, I will withdraw my troops and go back."

Chen Dong shook his head helplessly.

He came from a humble background, and the bribe money he gave to the defenders when he left the city gate was already his entire possessions.

Liu Ling said calmly: "This is not something you can interfere with. After you return, you will lead a few like-minded people to write a letter to your emperor. Maybe you can get an opportunity to be promoted to a higher position. There are also many people in the court who want you." Take the opportunity to seize power, and you go with them. If someone scolds me, just scold me too."

Chen Dong shook his head and replied: "Although the matter is small, it depends on the person. Although the country is declining, it is inherited by all the surnames. I, Chen Dong, am from the Song Dynasty. I am not a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. If the king does not agree today, I have no money." Go bribe the gatekeepers again and let them let me into the city.

I hope that the king, for the sake of our old friendship, will give me a set of armor and a sword, so that I can be killed by your subordinates. "

"No."

Chen Dong: "."

He was stunned for a while, and Liu Ling motioned him to sit on the chair next to him. The two raised their heads and looked at each other for a moment. Chen Dong asked in a deep voice: "Everyone in the Imperial Academy said that the imperial court was desperately raising money and food. To this end, they even allocated money in the city overnight. ;

In addition, there is a serious food shortage in the city, and many people have starved to death. If the king only wants money, food and women, why would he do this?"

"It doesn't matter if I tell you." Liu Ling took a sip of tea and cleared his throat.

"Three dispensable concubines, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than three-meter insects. They will probably marry into any official in the court in the future. For me, it doesn't matter if these three women are really beautiful and fragrant. ?Although there are few people in my Yanyun land, there are not no beautiful women.

But for the officers and soldiers of our army, they will be very excited when they see that the king has obtained the daughters of three emperors of the Song Dynasty at one time, and their morale will always be high.

For you, the Great Song Dynasty, the fact that I only want money and food from women reveals another meaning to them, that is, I have no intention of attacking the capital again and will not threaten their prosperity and wealth.

The ones who paid the money were the state Zuozang and the common people, and the ones who gave birth to the daughters were the officials of the Song Dynasty. They were unscathed. They just need to continue to stand in the court with a shy face. Anyway, your army of the Song Dynasty will not be able to breathe for a while. , since it’s hard to resist, then just find a position where you can enjoy it. "

Chen Dong was silent for a while, and couldn't help but nodded, his voice a little sarcastic.

"It does make sense. Your Majesty is really smart not to make all enemies at once."

Liu Ling chuckled.

In history, the Jin people all made enemies from the beginning, but the Song people not only resisted with little resistance, but also...

Anyway, those things can only be said to be understood by those who understand them.

"I understand what you mean. You, Chen Dong, are not someone who seeks fame and fortune. I am very happy that you are willing to come and talk to me today, but I don't like these pedantic words you said.

You asked the King of Han to let Bianjing go, you said how miserable the people in the city were who died of starvation, and you said how innocent those emperors and concubines were. Then, before I sent troops, I never took the initiative to offend the Song Dynasty when I was in Yandi. You guys Why did Song Dynasty take the initiative to attack me again?

Do you know that the land of Yan was destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin three years ago and turned into ruins? In the past three years, apart from fighting, I have been trying to let it recuperate and recuperate. As a result, three years later, you Song Dynasty came again to burn, kill and plunder the land of Yan. hometown! "

Chen Dong opened his mouth and wanted to defend, but Liu Ling waved his hand.

"Your Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty once said that no one should be allowed to snore and sleep on the side of the bed. Does he mean that whoever can fight will be justified? Now I ask you, who can fight?

Are everything I say and do right now? "

"Do you, Chen Dong, think you are speaking righteously? Let me tell you, this is a fucking national war! If I lose, how much paper money will you burn for me?"

Liu Ling slammed the table, and Zhu Shuzhen next to him reached out and gently tugged on the corner of his clothes.

Chen Dong frowned slightly and looked at him.

"You keep shouting, begging the king for forgiveness, asking the king to let go. You think you have friendship with me. Do you think you have a lot of face?

But you didn't even call me brother! "

Chen Dong was always good at arguing, but this time he didn't know how to answer.

No matter how you listen to Liu Ling's words, there is a feeling of strong words, but to Chen Dong, although Liu Ling said that he claimed to be the king first, the Song Dynasty should send envoys to rebuke or discuss it according to the normal procedure, and only choose to send troops as a last resort. .

But the imperial court actually decided to go to war without declaring a war and took the initiative to send troops.

Then, he was beaten all the way to the capital.

Just as he was talking, an announcement sounded outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Shunde would like to see you."

Liu Ling slowed down his tone.

"Look, your Emperor Concubine of the Song Dynasty is here. Do you want to give me one as a gift?"

He stood up, stretched out, and said lazily: "Nv Song, send your daughter off, haha."
