Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 184: Being the King of Han’s dog is.

A large part of the money and food rewards Liu Ling gave to the Song troops came from their court, but most people in the Song army did not know this situation. The only thing they knew clearly was that the King of Han was very generous.

The surrendered Song army who was included in Yanyun's army was like a fish on the chopping board, skillfully divided, disintegrated, and swallowed by Yanyun from top to bottom.

When Liu Ling surrendered the Changsheng Army and the Xia Army, he tried his best to retain their original structures, and even allowed some Xia generals to still lead their troops, in order to ensure that their combat effectiveness could be maintained at the original level.

But for the Song Army, the elite officers and soldiers were reorganized separately, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who made up the numbers in the army were either decentralized as auxiliary militiamen, or simply served as "field soldiers", who were actually farmers.

Even if it was handed over to the 30,000 Song army led by Yang Keshi in Quduan, a large number of officers from Yanyun were mixed among them, so that the Song soldiers below started to grow from scratch and became familiar with Yanyun's military orders.

The simplest first one is.

"On the battlefield, those who disobey the superior's orders will be killed without mercy."

"Five people are in a team, and the captain is a general. Five teams are a team, and the captain is a general. Four teams have a general, and a partial general is the general."

The military commander was standing on the stage and reading the order loudly. In the school grounds, there were also other people walking through the ranks of the soldiers, passing on the orders on the stage. The purpose was to make the soldiers below remember them.

To put it simply, it is brainwashing.

Today's school grounds were quieter than usual. Even though the military commander's voice on the stage was obviously hoarse, he still read out the military orders at the top of his lungs, and had already signaled three times in a row to the colleagues in the audience who were coming to change shifts to get out.

On the way back, Yang Keshi sighed and whispered: "Actually, there was one more thing I just said, but I didn't dare to say it to King Han."

But when the Xia people invaded, they would actually take the initiative to bypass these forts, and the forts themselves were in vain. Therefore, the general felt that given the terrain of Yanshan Mansion, instead of building many forts in the north, it was better to use all the money and manpower to build a big city, connect the mountains to block it, and finally supplement it with forts. "

Qu Duan chuckled and said, "He is the King of Han, not our official."

Yang Keshi thought about it and replied: "When I was a general in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, I calculated the approximate number in private. There are about 300 forts still garrisoned by soldiers, ranging in size. The method of camping is often built in strategic locations.

To the east of the school ground, there is a man in black royal uniform standing quietly, with more than a hundred soldiers and attendants beside him. Although the number of soldiers does not seem to be many, these soldiers are the most powerful soldiers in the Yanyun Army, that is, The so-called pro-army of the King of Han.

A major difficulty in Yanyun's defense is that there is not much depth. For example, Tong Guan was able to attack Yanjing head-on without Liu Ling's main force to resist. However, when Han Shizhong gathered a large number of troops, Tong Guan's brain became hot again. Want to win by surprise.

At the same time, what Liu Ling is really wary of is not the Song people, but the Jin people in the north. If the latter have taken a breather in the past two years, they will still go south.

The troops are led by the King of Han and the generals, the money and food are distributed by the King of Han, and the land is distributed by the King of Han. Of course, those generals may be persuaded by outsiders and want to betray because of the temporary glory and wealth, but the lives and glory of tens of thousands of soldiers underneath them Wealth and honor were all given by the King of Han.

"The last general, Yang Keshi, has met the king."

The army also called it the "Iron Yan Army". In addition to the large banner of the Han Dynasty, the army also had a special black and white Yan flag. Although it was a Yan, its attitude was proud. When a gust of wind blew, the white swallows were on the flag. It flaps its wings and soars, more like a white phoenix.

"The last general, Qu Duan, has met the king."

"What?" Qu Duan looked at him.

Liu Ling withdrew his gaze from the school grounds and focused on the two of them, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.

"The king of Han's generals, ranging from Han Shizhong, Liang Zhe and others, to Zhao Heshou and Gaofeng, are actually people with great military power. Isn't he afraid that those generals will support their troops and respect themselves?"

After the three of them finished talking, the King of Han nodded and agreed for them to leave.

He asked: "There are a large number of forts in the northwest of the Song Dynasty all year round. Can Yanshan follow this method?"

Many soldiers and their families were supported by the King of Han three years ago. How could they foolishly support their generals in rebellion?

Then the perspective switches back to the official's family. He owes the army food and salary, and he doesn't care whether the soldiers' families live or die. Even the peasant armies that need to be pacified every year are mostly caused by him.

Doesn't this make a judgment?

After Qu Duan finished speaking, Yang Keshi immediately nodded to express his approval, and at the same time said with some emotion: "Three years ago, when I met him, he was just a school captain. Three years later, he was earning such a big business. " Before Yang Keshi could finish his emotion, Qu Duan stopped and deliberately distanced himself from him. Yang Keshi took a few steps and looked back at him doubtfully.

"If you don't want to die, it's better to keep these sentimental words in your heart."

"how?"

Yang Keshi was a little dissatisfied and said: "I have known the king for three years and have been working for him for a long time. Do you think we are..."

"Before, you were a Song general and could provide him with information and connections. Now you are a Han general and his general. Do you think you are climbing up step by step? Wrong. You are bending down and kneeling down little by little. .

Kneel down, just kneel down, and don’t think about looking up from time to time. He, the King of Han, is now our king and our master.

You must be in awe of your master. "

"What about you?" Yang Keshi was a little annoyed by what he said, and immediately refuted: "What are you?"

Qu Duan smiled and then said:

"Wang!"

There were two dogs raised in the back house of Prince Han in Yanjing. It was said that they were the offspring of "famous dogs" from Yan. They were loyal when they should be loyal and fierce when they should be fierce.

When Liu Ling sat on the chair, the two dogs that were lying next to the crown prince Liu Cheng stood up and wanted to show their teeth at Liu Ling.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Han walked in and kicked each of the two dogs. They immediately whimpered in grievance and lay down again.

"I have met the king."

Liu Ling stretched out his hand to pull Wan Niang into his arms, and sat back on the chair with her in his arms. Not far away, the prince Liu Cheng blinked at his parents, seeming a little surprised why they had not spoken.

After a while, Wan Niang raised her head from his arms. She didn't see any emotion in her husband's eyes. She quickly lowered her head again and said softly: "Let some sisters come back to live. The palace is spacious and there are more people." lively."

"You guys live together, I have enough to worry about."

During the defensive battle of Yanjing City, Yelu Yuliyan directly followed Han Shizhong out of the city to gather his old troops. In fact, the Princess of Han did not hesitate in the city. She personally sat in the Yanjing government office for 25 days and urged all the military and civilian officials in the city to defend the city.

The former seemed to be prosperous, but after the war, the military power first passed to Han Shizhong, and then he was reprimanded by Liu Ling.

On the contrary, the latter greatly won over people's hearts and truly carried out the dignity of Princess Han.

The remaining princesses of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Huaixian and Liu Wan, are actually quite honest, especially the latter. Liu Ling never had time to touch her, but finally gave her a title, but it was them who In the back house, there is also a dependent princess and a dependent Han princess, forming two vague factions.

If Princess Wan Yanquan of the Jin Kingdom, Cao Shi, the Imperial Concubine of the Xia Kingdom, Emperor Ji of the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Shuzhen also move here, then The Legend of Zhen Huan will really be played in the back house every day.

"No need, the Cao family is pregnant and can't move. The other few just come together to worship their ancestors, and then they will go back to Yunzhong in batches. The people of Song Dynasty will provide money, food and manpower to help them build a new emperor's palace."

Wan Niang didn't see the emotion in Liu Ling's eyes, but the latter clearly caught the trace of sadness in her eyes, so he raised his hand and scratched her nose.

"You will be a queen in the future, so you must be big-hearted."
