Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 192 Destroy Yan?

Holding a history book in hand, you can evaluate the people and events in history to your heart's content. Anyway, they will not lift the coffin board and say what they are like.

When Liu Ling woke up in this world, all he thought about at first was to prevent the Jingkang scene from happening. But later, as his status and power increased, his thoughts slowly changed, and something burst out in his heart. Ambition.

The foundation that supports his status and ambition is Yan Yun and the army under his command. He leads them, and they support him. The two sides complement each other, making Liu Ling feel that he is living in this era very clearly.

Those people in the history books, whether they were laughing or cursing, were all in front of him.

Gradually, as more and more people were killed, Liu Ling began to be indifferent. He could only meet the eyes of the lieutenants when riding his horse through the army, or sit in a car and drive slowly past him. Only in the city under his rule would he show a smile.

There were two battle reports on the desk, and Liu Ling took a casual look at them. One of them stated that Han Shizhong's advance was so rapid a few days ago that the grassland people had lost consecutive battles. The second one was that the grain team reported that there were golden sentry cavalry around.

After being silent for a while, Liu Ling stood up and came to the tent. He lifted the curtain and saw that his own soldier commander was still standing guard outside.

"The king wants to inspect the camp."

"Here."

Liu Ling could only ensure that most of the people under his rule had a full meal every day and would not starve to death, and that the generals in the army could be well fed. This was his limit. The situation could have slowly improved after three years. But now that the war is approaching, a large amount of manpower and material resources originally used for development and production will be brought to the battlefield again.

Liu Ling nodded slightly, "I am just here to take a look. If you are thirsty or hungry, send someone to have the cooks in the army cook. There is plenty of food in the army. Only when you are full can you do your work."

"Then you should understand why I can't retreat at this time."

Finally, he stopped in front of a Chinese army tent and raised the curtain. Han Fang and several civil servants were inside processing military Chinese documents overnight. Han Fang was still writing with his head down at first, waiting for the civil servants next to him to hurriedly pull his sleeves to remind him. Finally, Han Fang raised his head.

Han Fang immediately replied: "Yan Yun's sentiments have been brought up by the king for three years, not to mention that the opponent is a Jin man. If he retreats, people below him will inevitably be disappointed."

Han Fang followed Liu Ling outside the camp.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

"My lord, meet the king!"

The lights in the camp were sparse, but patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere. When they saw the Queen of Han, they immediately stopped and bowed to salute. Liu Ling nodded and asked a few words before continuing to move forward.

"I haven't slept yet."

"Okay, Mr. Han, come out and do the rest. I have already ordered the cook, and someone will bring food later."

Liu Ling shook his head and said casually: "Gongmei, you have been following me for two years, right?"

It should be a warm spring day in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, but it is still cold in the north. If there is a light rain from time to time, there will be more people freezing to death and starving to death on the road outside the city.

"Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"But you still say no in front of everyone."

This time, Han Fang did not discuss it with Liu Ling in advance. One was a good person and the other was a bad person. When they were in the commander's tent, Liu Ling knew as soon as he saw Han Fang that this guy really did not agree to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin.

"Don't take advantage of your anger to raise troops," Han Fang replied: "At the moment, although the Jin Kingdom has taken the initiative to send troops, looking at the strength of the troops they sent out, and the fact that Wanyan Zongwang did not send back any news this time, it can be seen that turmoil must have broken out in the Jin Kingdom. , so that the Jin people must be opportunistic this time, purely to catch our army off guard.

When Han Shizhong withdraws, our army regains strength, but the grassland people are distracted. The Jin army only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the food and fodder must be insufficient. Our army is fortified everywhere and the wilderness is cleared. When the Jin people's morale declines, our army will make another northern expedition. Kill them all and annihilate them! "

At present, the Jin army has just set out for the expedition, with high morale and the majesty of destroying the country three years ago. Han Fang believes that confronting the Jin people at this time will inevitably cause many unnecessary casualties, so for the Han army, which has an absolute home field advantage, Procrastination is the right thing to do.

"Can't retreat."

Liu Ling replied.

He had issued a message before, and then led his army to the north in a mighty manner, shouting that he would flatten the grassland. As a result, as soon as the Jin people came, he hurriedly wanted to withdraw. What is this?

What's more, Liu Ling's base is now Yanyun. Liu Ling stands to the north of Yunzhong, with the "national gate" at his feet. The senior officials naturally know that he is making a strategic retreat, but the people under Yanyun will only subconsciously think that they are supporting him. The sky above my head is about to collapse again like it did three years ago.

"People's hearts will be in chaos."

Han Fang said: "No, the soldiers are still willing to fight to the death, even if it is"

"Then, I will lead them to fight to the death."

Liu Ling waved his hand, and in his eyes, the dark military camps were reflected.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The continuous sound of war drums boomed. Zhao Heshou stood at the head of the newly built Guancheng City, squinting and looking outside. There were so many banners of the Jin army outside the city that they were desperately attacking the city every day.

Zhao Heshou originally brought his Ningyuan Army here to change the defense, but when the Jin people attacked the city, not only the Ningyuan Army, but also the original defenders and ambushes were unable to retreat south to rest, and they all stayed in the city to consolidate. Defend.

The Jin's arrows were very accurate. Covered by rounds of arrows, a large number of casualties soon appeared on the top of the city. However, the defenders also fired arrows and fired back. The city's defense equipment continued to fire back, causing more damage to the Jin. Many casualties.

Wanyan Gao listened to the beating of drums in his ears like rain, and still led his own soldiers to urge the horse forward until he came to the siege camp. A row of shield soldiers came to protect him, allowing him to see the majestic pass in front of him. city.

"Look, the Yan people spent nine months building a city here to connect the mountains. If they wait for them to establish a foothold here, it will be almost impossible for our army to open a gap from here. It's a shame that Wanyan Zongwang didn't know that he was eating What pig excrement and cow dung, actually would rather resist the decree than send troops!

Is his surname Wanyan? "

Wanyan Gao looked at the stalemate at the top of the city and said coldly: "His Majesty means to take advantage of the situation to advance. If the momentum is not right, he will withdraw his troops. However, how can a war be fought like this?"

"Once the war breaks out, it will be a national war, and it will never end! My family background in Dajin is already weak. It is opportunistic to send troops now, but it is not a bad opportunity. It is a pity that if His Majesty had made up his mind to send troops half a year ago, Yan Yun would not have done it at all. There may be another chance to resist my Dajin Heavenly Army!"

Half a year ago, the relationship between Liu Ling and the Song people was tense and even at war with each other. Song and Jin joined forces, so why did Liu Ling not die?

Seeing that the city's defense was extremely tight and his siege soldiers were constantly being killed by arrows and rolling stones, Wanyan Gao had a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Come on, push out those Yanyun untouchables captured outside the city and push them to attack the city!

Those who disobey will be killed! "
