Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 168 The world is still uncertain, and we, the Song Dynasty, are still the dark horses

"Open your mouth."

"Um"

Zhu Shuzhen's eyes widened. For a moment, it was like spring returning to the south of the Yangtze River, the white mountains were shaking, the snow water was rushing down, the fragrant cheeks were constantly puffing up, and then endless red clouds were born.

Liu Ling did not let Emperor Shunde come in, but asked someone to arrange a place for her to live in the army. At least he maintained etiquette and restraint in everything, and did not really ruin it.

Furthermore, if the Emperor Ji was really called in today, Chen Dong would probably commit suicide on the spot out of shame and anger.

Liu Ling asked people to arrange accommodation for Chen Dong, and then he was too lazy to meet the Song envoy again tonight.

late at night.

The slight footsteps of patrolling soldiers came from outside the tent. Liu Ling was lying on the couch and yawning. Zhu Shuzhen was lying next to him contentedly. Under the candlelight next to her, her face became more and more moisturized and red.

"Do you want me to send someone to pick up your family?"

When the Song envoy came over, he saw Zhu Shuzhen sitting next to Liu Ling several times. As long as he inquired more, he could probably find out her home.

She nuzzled into Liu Ling's arms and said with some panic: "It is difficult for the family to tolerate an immoral woman. I'm afraid that if her ex-husband comes back and finds out about this, the family will already be organizing the slave's funeral."

Zhu Shuzhen knew clearly that her family would rather die in the rebellion than see her "supporting herself" in the Beilu.

"Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"Did a His Highness come from the army?"

Liu Ling raised his head slightly and saw her biting her lip. She looked a little naive for a moment, and she looked more like she was jealous.

He was too lazy to ask more questions, and picked up Zhu Shuzhen amidst her exclamations. For a moment, her clothes were opened, and the snowy mountains trembled slightly. She collapsed on the desk like a willow branch blown by the wind. Liu Ling supported her from behind and said with a smile: "Listen If you are good at composing lyrics, you can try to write it for me."

Zhu Shuzhen held the pen with her slender fingers and reluctantly wrote the name of the brand. Just as she was about to write, the pen tip suddenly trembled and slipped out. The ink marks ran across the entire rice paper. She had to move her left hand to grasp the corner of the desk. He tried his best to steady his body and let out a cry.

“So shameful”

She gasped twice and suddenly called softly: "Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"hurry up."

The entire rice paper was soon filled with crooked handwriting.

Zhu Shuzhen, whose handwriting has always had the style of a famous artist, saw for the first time that she had written a page full of dog crawling fonts.

To the west of Yanjing, Qingbaikou.

According to the confessions of the captured locals, there was a road leading directly to Yanjing, so when the army arrived with difficulty, Tong Guan couldn't wait to have someone take him there for inspection. But after looking around, he found that Qingbaikou There is actually a battalion of troops stationed there.

Across a creek was the military camp. The sentry looked around and reported back that it was the flag of the Yongqing Army, and there was very little room to stand in front of the camp. If he wanted to capture the camp, he could only attack from the front.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Tong Guan stood up from the table and said coldly to the generals: "Send the order, let the front army press forward, and swallow this pass before noon. Although many people froze to death on the road, I have many soldiers and many people." !”

The Yongqing military camp was blocked on the only way to Qingbaikou. Liu Ling had previously attacked Yanjing from here, so he would naturally be wary of anyone imitating him. Therefore, after he completely took control of Yan territory, he wrote a letter to Han Shizhong specifically to ask him to An extra battalion of troops was deployed here.

When the war drums were beating, the Song army of more than 2,000 people began to try to encircle the Zhenyuan military camp under the command, and then more crossbowmen were thrown into the battlefield. However, because the place was relatively narrow, the crossbows in the Yongqing military camp were The number of hands was also large, and they started to suppress the Song army first.

There was fighting in the front, and in the large tent of the army in the rear, Tong Guanma was sitting on a chair with a golden sword, and maps were spread out in front of him. Three years ago, Yanshan Mansion returned to the Song Dynasty, and Tong Guan naturally had a map of the entire Yan region. However, three years later, there were obviously more fort systems in the north of Yan region. The sentinel soon reported that the forts in front were even more complex. many.

Liu Ling copied all the methods of the Song Dynasty and Xia Dynasty. On the one hand, he built a large number of forts, and on the other hand, he encouraged the training of militiamen, and converted the achievements of civilians in killing enemies into the equivalent of military merit, money and food.

The people of Xia are strong and fierce, but how can the people of Yan be the same?

If the Song Army wants to continue to advance, there are many similar forts behind Qingbaikou. They will have to spend time attacking them, just like bending down to pull weeds. Although it is not laborious, they have to bend down more times. People also get exhausted.

What's more, now the Song army has no time to delay at all. The food route behind them has been completely cut off. The Yan people only need to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and keep following them in circles. As time goes by, the Song army will collapse on its own.

While military affairs were being discussed in the tent, Yu Wenxu sighed and whispered to Wang Zhen next to him: "I think this trip is going to be bad."

"If the king hears what you said, you will be in trouble today."

"Cut the nonsense."

Yu Wenxuzhong pulled him out and found a deserted corner, and the two of them sneaked together.

Wang Zhen can be regarded as a person who has been unlucky many times in Yandi but was lucky enough to escape alive. He is not a mediocre general. Even if Yu Wenxu didn't say it, he knew that this trip was extremely dangerous.

The Prince of Guangyang County was almost gambling with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

If he wins the bet, he will still be the king of the Song Dynasty. If he loses the bet, he will also have tens of thousands of innocent ghosts accompanying him on the road. If the officials reward him, hehe.

"I don't want to die here." Yu Wenxuzhong said bluntly.

"I can guarantee that this trip will definitely fail. The food route to the rear is interrupted. The Yan people still have several camps in front of them. However, the army's food supply has been running out for a few days."

When Liu Ling entered the desert, although the army was also lightly armed, there were many party tribes plundering him along the way, which meant that there were supply stations everywhere on the road. However, the Song army went north and was surrounded by mountains and rivers, let alone Humans and most animals cannot survive here.

"But as long as we take advantage of the victory and advance, after Yanjing is captured, the twelve counties of Yanshan Prefecture can at least maintain the army's food and grass." Wang Zhen retorted.

Yu Wenxuzhong shook his head and pointed to the sky.

"Winter is coming soon."

It is getting cold in Yanbei very fast. It is almost the end of autumn now. If the Song army cannot capture Yanjing in another half month, tens of thousands of people in the army will either starve to death or freeze to death, and there will be no chance of survival.

"You can leave," Wang Xun replied: "But I am just a common man. I usually receive great favors from the court and the king. Now it is the time to regain my homeland for the country. How can I escape from the battle? If Scholar Yuwen is worried, he can go on his own. Leave.”

Yu Wenxu sighed and asked a few more questions. Seeing that Wang Zhen firmly disagreed, he had to bow his hands and leave.

After the conversation, Wang Zhen returned to the camp and found that the atmosphere here was not quite right:

Tong Guan frowned, while most of the other generals looked depressed.

He walked up to a familiar colleague and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

"Xin Daozong led his army to attack the camp for half a day, but failed to defeat it."

"Then just keep fighting."

The colleague shook his head and lowered his voice and said: "The headquarters camp in the rear of our army was breached. The news was sent, but someone leaked it and the whole army knew about it. The Yan people have blocked our rear." Road, now we are surrounded by Yan, Xia, and grassland people."

"Everyone, why are you panicking?"

Tong Guan patted the table and said coldly: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I can no longer hide it from you. I have reached an agreement with the Jin people. In three days, their reinforcements will go south from the north entrance to attack Yanjing. At that time, our army joined forces with them outside Yanjing City, and they provided food and grass.

Everyone, our army is not defeated yet! "
