Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 247 Who is resisting today?

The days of peace have always been peaceful and beautiful. Compared with the seven states in Hebei that were subject to the win-win policy, the people of Yan are now really living a better life. Liu Ling, out of various concerns, changed his position from the original after he captured Songting Pass. The Liao Kingdom gained hundreds of thousands of people in Zhongjing Road, and then most of them moved to Yan.

If Yandi had been relying on blood transfusions from other places to maintain its operations before, the massive population has brought it to life. Countless abandoned lands have been reclaimed, a large number of workshops have been put into operation, and a huge population has grown every day. Flooding into Yan land, constantly increasing the war potential of this land.

But neither the Song people nor the Jin people were able to deal with this situation.

Various conflicts within the Jin people have been highlighted. Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda is undoubtedly the hero. He has the courage and confidence to control the civilians, nobles, and armies of all ethnic groups. However, as long as this strong control disappears, the Jin Kingdom will soon fall into confusion.

As for the Song people, the situation in their country is actually similar.

Liu Ling began to send a large number of spies to the south, and the Qizhou in Hebei and Yanmen Pass in Hedong began to increase their troops. This situation was obviously easily detected by the Song people.

On an afternoon in mid-February, the weather near the Yellow River was so warm that people were drowsy. Large ships appeared on the rough water. As the ships arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, groups of soldiers of the Song Dynasty left the ships and put their feet on the ground. Standing on the land of Hebei.

The Zhao Guan family also knew that the King of Han had evil intentions, so accordingly, they could only continue to increase their troops towards Hebei, trying to avoid another incident like the Han army going south.

But this move is undoubtedly a kick to the powder keg that is about to explode in Hebei.

On the top of the city, flags with Chinese characters fluttered in the wind.

Dozens of noisy soldiers gathered at the city gate. As they continued to make noise, the movement here attracted more and more soldiers, most of whom had eager eyes.

The Seven Prefectures in Hebei Province are the hometown of the Song Dynasty. When they came into the hands of the King of Han, many people fled here with their families, fearing that the King of Han would deliberately launch an army to plunder. However, the next year or so proved that the King of Han clearly wanted to Have strong ambition.

So far, Zhang Xiaochun has only made plans to confront Liang Fangping, but Zhao Mingcheng and others deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, spread the news of the upcoming war to all places, mobilized all the people who had been bribed by them, and gathered all the people they had at all costs. troops.

Zhao Mingcheng speculated in his heart that the King of Han would probably go south along the old road again, because whether it was from Qizhou in Hebei or from Yanmen Pass in Hedong, they were excellent marching routes, and there was great potential to capture any place in Hebei and Hedong.

In fact, this work does not need to be very careful, because Liu Ling's request only caused chaos in the Song Dynasty.

"We all want money and food, money and food!"

"Otherwise we will go south and join Mr. Zhang!"

The common people in Hebei began to be in awe of the King of Han whom they had never met before, and he was a Han - everyone was Han, so some things could be tacitly ignored.

Except for some people.

Zhen Wuchen looked at Gao Feng and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you go outside and stop it?"

Killing a few leaders and beating up the remaining ones will quickly cut through the mess and stabilize the situation here. However, Gao Feng shook his head and replied: "If they really wanted to make trouble, these Qiu Ba would have made trouble long ago." , there is probably someone behind it, so I would like to take this opportunity to see who else is dishonest in the city." Liang Zhe was transferred to guard Wu Lahaicheng, and he may be transferred back in the short term. , but now it is Gao Feng and others who are guarding Hebei. According to the Song people's intelligence about Yan Yun, they are the confidant generals of the King of Han. Their appearance here indicates some bad possibilities.

Gao Feng made up his mind to go fishing, but he would probably use the air force today, because a small group of sentries appeared on the official road outside the city. After noticing the situation at the city gate, they did not approach immediately, but turned and left.

Half an hour later, the thunderous sound of horse hoofs sounded on the official road, and hundreds of black-armored cavalry appeared at the end of the official road. Even the farmers in the fields beside the road were frightened and fled in all directions, let alone the city gate. Deal with the troublemaking soldiers.

When they were about to escape, more than a hundred soldiers appeared inside and outside the city gate, guarding various places and capturing dozens of troublemaking soldiers on the spot. Gao Feng slowly walked up the city tower and looked at the cavalry appearing outside the city. team, with a little depression in their eyes.

"Mom, let's get out of here."

Gao Feng originally planned to take his time. As long as he explained and wrote a document afterwards, everything would be fine. However, the troops sent by Yan Di just arrived at this time, which was tantamount to being severely humiliated in front of his colleagues, and would definitely be reported to the King of Han. At that time, if he said that he was just fishing for a big fish in the long run, who would believe him? ?
In the cavalry team, a flag with the Chinese character Han was erected, and there was only one person in the Han army who could use the Chinese character as the military flag from the beginning to the end.

"General Gao."

Han Shizhong sat on his horse and asked condescendingly: "The king trusted you and taught you to sit here, but you allowed the soldiers to cause trouble and were so negligent. How did you lead the troops?"

This is a curse in Gao Feng's face, but Han Shizhong has this qualification. He has stayed in the army not much shorter than Gao Feng. He is senior and has many military exploits. However, Gao Feng just sits in the local area and does not go to war much. .

Gao Feng silently endured the scolding.

After all, he made a mistake in his work and was bumped into by someone. It wouldn't be a bad thing if Han Shizhong scolded him in public now. To a certain extent, it was like exposing the matter. A business-like attitude would only make people panic.

After being scolded, Gao Feng bowed to Han Shizhong and saluted, ordered the surrounding officials and generals to place the troops and horses brought by Han Shizhong, and took Han Shizhong back to the government office.

As soon as he sat down, Han Shizhong said: "This time, I will bring two thousand cavalry, and then about fifteen thousand Han troops will arrive. With Hejian Prefecture as the garrison camp, at least thirty thousand troops will be sent from the seven states of Hebei." , 50,000 civilians, you should have prepared all the grain farms and treasury, if so"

"The general has already prepared everything. Two months ago, the general took people to various places to ensure that all the treasury and manpower of the seven states can be mobilized on time." Gao Feng replied.

"I approve of General Gao's work. Before leaving, your Majesty also told me that General Gao has all the bravery and skills to be worthy of a big job. So before leaving, he specially gave him a set of gold armor and ordered me to pass it on to the general. ." Han Shizhong looked at Gao Feng and said in a deep voice.

Gao Feng quickly stood up and saluted Han Shizhong again.

"I will thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and I will repay it with my life!"

After talking for a few more words, Gao Feng couldn't help but feel curious and asked: "The commander-in-chief is here in person today, but is there going to be another war? Going south?"

Han Shizhong nodded, shook his head, and finally corrected himself: "We are called to recover the Central Plains."
