Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 241 Yes, but not necessary
After the battle at Shanhaiguan, the Jin army that left the customs was completely wiped out. As a result, the Jin court had to agree to Liu Ling's condition and first released hundreds of thousands of Yanyun's old people back to Yan. However, there were often small groups of people on the way. The Jin Army falsely claimed that they were bandits and bandits, and wantonly slaughtered the refugee teams heading south.

The Jin court had no explicit orders at that time, and was even complacent. After all, there would be no consequences for doing so, and Liu Ling could not catch their sore feet. It was not until the Han army defeated the Great Wall and captured Bei'an Prefecture that they ensured that the remaining The refugees were not intercepted or killed.

early morning.

The military camp was filled with the smell of grease and horse manure as always. Han Shizhong stopped and saw a captain running towards him.

"Commander, stay here. You have a letter from home. I was about to send it to you, but by chance I met the commander on the way."

Han Shizhong immediately had a smile on his face. It was always pleasant to receive a letter from home when he was fighting abroad. He took the letter from the captain, said thank you, then stood there and opened the letter, reading it hastily.

After seeing some of the words inside, Han Shizhong was stunned for a moment. He put down the letter and rubbed his brows.

"Is the messenger still there?"

"Yes, Marshal."

Han Shizhong nodded and signaled. The captain understood and turned around to take him to find someone.

"Your Majesty."

Every word in the letter clearly stated that Han Shizhong's wife, Bai, had died of a sudden illness half a month ago. Han Shizhong had killed many people, but no one's death could make him regret or have an uneasy conscience. To this day, a letter The letter left him speechless.

"The war has come to an end. The soldiers have been working hard for several months on the expedition. At this time, we can take it easy."

"Here!"

The messenger was a small civil servant in the army. He was eating in a hurry at this time. Han Shizhong put down the curtain with some disappointment. He thought that the person who came to report the message would be a servant of the family, and he was about to ask a few more questions. He told his family to go back and quickly arrange the funeral, and let his wife be laid to rest.

In the end, he just rewarded the civil servant with some property and asked him to help him go back and tell his family that he wanted to have a glorious funeral.

Han Fang spoke clearly and clearly, and most of the generals in the tent nodded in approval. Liu Ling knocked on the table and said, "Then let's do it this way. We will strictly guard everything, and no unauthorized attacks are strictly prohibited."

"Is something wrong?"

In the evening, Han Fang and Han Shizhong came to the handsome tent. Liu Ling was sitting behind the desk eating. When he saw the two coming, he nodded casually and motioned for them to sit down.

A general said: "Our army has captured dozens of cities. In front of us are Zhongjing and the Jin Emperor. If we capture and kill them, we will complete our victory in one battle and the entire Jin Kingdom will collapse without a fight."

"Because winter is coming."

Han Fang walked out of the column and explained to the side: "Many of the soldiers in our army are from the Xia and Song Dynasties. They can fight in the Yan region, but the further north they go, the more these soldiers can't help but freeze. And the Jin people They started from a bitter cold place, the weather is bearable for them, and the other one is..."

The Jin Emperor and his 40,000-strong army are just holding on with one breath. If we attack at this time, it will easily make them resist desperately. It is better to slow down now and wait until they run out of food. Can fight each other. "

Liu Ling sat behind the desk, looked at the more than 20 generals in front of him, and ordered: "But the cities that have been captured must be defended. The order will be sent to some of you tomorrow. I guarantee that we will not be short of money and food. Our Han army will never fight poverty wars."

"Although the Jin people are resistant to frost, the domestic food supply has reached an unsustainable level. Most of the food previously was requisitioned to the southeast and delivered to Wanyan Gao's army to attack Goryeo.

Liu Ling put down his chopsticks and asked directly.

Han Fang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Han Shizhong again, and said in a deep voice: "Most of the Zhongjing Road has been recovered, and most of the land with half of the population belongs to our Han Dynasty. Now Yanyun, Grassland, Hebei, and Zhongjing are four large pieces of land spanning thousands of miles. Under our rule, There are millions of people, and the foundation has been established.

Your Majesty, together with Marshal Han, I dare to come and ask, when will the king plan to carry out his duties? "Han Shizhong was stunned when he heard this.

Didn't you agree to ask in a roundabout way?
Yan Ren was straightforward, and Han Fang had figured out Liu Ling's temper before he dared to speak like this. Liu Ling picked up the chopsticks and didn't answer. He put down the chopsticks after swallowing the last mouthful of rice and said casually: "This is yours." You mean, someone down there already has this voice?”

"Replying to the king, I have always regarded the king as my master. The army and the people also hope that the king will take a step forward at this time."

Han Fang looked at Liu Ling, but the latter remained expressionless. He waited for a moment and couldn't help but continue asking: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"It's too early."

Liu Ling played with the chopsticks in his hand and said calmly: "It has been five years since I became successful in Yandi. If I want to be the emperor, I can actually do it anytime. I can be the emperor when I am in Zhuozhou, and I can be the emperor when I am in Yanjing." , it can be done in the clouds or even on the grassland.

But making yourself an emperor, making you a prime minister, a general, etc., is nothing more than an extra name. Who among the surrounding countries will look up to you? "

"The king conquers the Jin people in the north, controls the Xia Kingdom in the west, and has great power throughout the world. Who would not surrender?"

Liu Ling smiled.

"Gongmei, good minister, I know that you two are out of public motives, and I also know that what everyone wants is nothing more than fame and wealth. There is nothing wrong with this. But as far as Yu Gu is concerned, if Gu is pushed to the dragon's throne in the end, then Gu Hei What’s the difference between puppets?”

Han Fang opened his mouth to speak again, but Liu Ling knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "The day before yesterday, the leader of Jiubu, the leader of Xi Ren's Yao Chaan, called me the Great Emperor in front of me. Did you really feel what people wanted at that time? , do you think proclaiming yourself emperor is worthwhile?”

King Han's voice became increasingly cold.

"If Gu Zhen wants that chair, he can walk to the dragon chair by himself at any time and sit on it instead of asking for help! This world and this foundation were won by Gu and you, not by you. It was given to me, do you understand?
From now on, anyone who dares to persuade the soldiers to advance without permission, or even incites the soldiers to give Gu Lai a yellow robe, will be killed! "

Liu Ling slammed the table, and the two of them couldn't breathe due to the overwhelming momentum.

In front of him, Han Fang and Han Shizhong immediately stood up and bowed to Liu Ling.

"I don't dare."

"I am so reckless, please forgive me!"

After walking out of the handsome tent, Han Shizhong was still in a daze and complained: "You are a scholar, but your words are so vulgar and direct. No wonder you made the king angry."

Han Fang just smiled faintly, not showing any signs of silence in the handsome tent just now.

Others want to achieve the power of Conglong, so they will inevitably make bold and reckless moves, but Han Fang works by Liu Ling's side day and night, how could he not be able to figure out the latter's temper, and deliberately say that, it is nothing more than acting for others to see. That’s all.

"Marquis Yan, when you get back, tell the other soldiers and tell them to do their jobs well. Don't think about messing around all day long."

Han Fang said softly: "Your Majesty will occasionally say a word. I think I should tell it to you."

"What word?"

"pattern."

Han Fang thought for a while and added: "It should be bigger."
