Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 250 We stand together and are invincible
".I really can't write anymore."

Chen Dong stroked his brush, looked at Qu Duan, and said tentatively: "Actually, you don't have to give the king any flattering poems. The king has never looked at these. What's more, I have occasionally spoken to the king several times before. "Every time, I can clearly feel the king's disdain for him."

"Then I won't write it." Qu Duan immediately gave up the plan, but because everything was done, it seemed boring to have nothing to do. He paused and said: "Last time, that great scholar in Yun Zhong talked about sheep. "Xue, can you tell me about it too?"

Ha, common man.

"It's useless if you think about it all day long."

Chen Dong wanted to laugh in his heart, but he put on a serious look on his face and said: "Wen is Wen, Wu is Wu. If you combine them all as a general, you are already outstanding. It's better to specialize in one. There is no need to talk to scholars."

Qu Duan nodded, feeling that what Chen Dong said made sense.

"All the money, food, army, horses, and baggage have been counted, and the first batch of food teams set off last night for Shuozhou."

Chen Dong looked at Qu Duan and asked, "So, isn't Hedong still the one to be attacked this time?"

"It's not Hedong, but the war is about to begin. It doesn't matter if I tell you." Qu Duan dipped his hand in some tea, drew an extremely blurry picture on the table, and added: "Look, our cloud is here. Among them, the southernmost point is Yanmen Pass in the east of Hedong, but if you go around from the west, it will be "

At that time, most of my colleagues in the army knew how to protect themselves.

In this battle, attack the Western Army first! "

"Oh, you scholar, your brain is too stupid to read."

What can you miss about your old club?
In the battle of Fuzhou, Qu Duan led his soldiers and horses to defend the city and shot the Lord of Xia with an arrow. According to various information later, it was indeed his arrow that killed the Lord of Xia Li Qianshun, but the Song Dynasty court did not Not to mention any praise, at that time Liu Yanqing and others even planned to severely punish Qu Duan.

"The west side. Isn't it the Yellow River? We captured Wu Lahaicheng and Heishan Weifu Army Division last time, but now they have been temporarily merged into Yinshan Prefecture, and the Heishan Town West Army Division has been set up."

Zhang Xiaochun was sitting on a chair, holding a simple military report in his hand. He looked at the content again and murmured: "How dare they."

In addition, the imperial court and official families of the Song Dynasty made him unable to have any sense of identity.

While the two were talking, someone outside shouted: "Report, the king's order has arrived!"

Qu Duan's words were sonorous, and there was no hint of emotion because he was from the Western Army before. He was even full of excitement.

Qu Duan sneered.

"Tsk, then go a little further southwest."

"The Empress Dowager Yelu is our king's wife, and the land she occupies is the territory of our Han Dynasty, plus the land under her rule, so our Han Dynasty borders the northwest of the Song Dynasty further south.

The candlelight flickered, and the night wind blew slowly into the room, bringing a bone-chilling chill.

"But isn't this the place of Xia Kingdom? I heard that Queen Mother Yelu is stationed there now."

Two days ago, thirty miles north of Jizhou City, a caravan belonging to Zhang Xiaochun was massacred, with no goods left. Some of the escorting soldiers and horses were also killed, but many of them escaped alive. Went back and reported the situation to superiors.

At first, the only people who dared to ask the local government to send troops to escort the caravans were those merchants from Yan. Although this was done in private, it gradually became a habit. The people of Yan are rich, and there are always people in the local government offices who want to make money, so the two parties hit it off.

As time went by, the officials of the Song Dynasty used their clever minds and thought that since they could send troops and horses to escort the Yandi caravan, why couldn't they expand their financial resources and escort caravans from other places?
Facts have proved that the great merchants of the Song Dynasty also had similar needs. Anyway, those Xiang soldiers are just a bunch of wasting food, so why not let them go out and create some value? The officials have a very good idea, everyone will share 91%, and they don’t even have to give the 10%. If military rations are given to the Xiang army, just think of it as an errand assigned by the officials.

Zhang Xiaochun would not handle this kind of benefit personally, but his subordinates would take the initiative to give it to him.

Because of this, when something happened to the caravan, the news quickly reached Zhang Xiaochun through the mouths of the Xiang army and officials at all levels.

It was only a private caravan that died, but it was Zhang Xiaochun who was hit in the face.

I have always maintained restraint and firmly held down the officials and soldiers around me and underground. However, you, Liang Fangping, repeatedly provoked me. Is this deliberately trying to force me to rebel?

Moreover, even though the other party knew that they were being escorted by Xiang troops, they still attacked the caravan and scattered the Xiang troops. Everyone knew what the Xiang troops were, but to call them another way, the Xiang troops were also the official army of the Song Dynasty. !

You ordered troops to attack the official army. Who wants to rebel?

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door outside, and then Zhao Mingcheng's voice came.

"Brother Zhang, I'm here."

"Come in."

With a creak, the door opened, and Zhao Mingcheng stood at the door, wearing a black brocade robe, like a stone statue, with the dark night behind him.

He did not come in, but stood at the door. His voice passed through the empty lobby and came directly to Zhang Xiaochun.

"That castrated dog is already showing its teeth. What are you waiting for, Brother Zhang? Are you waiting to be bitten by it?"

"I"

Zhang Xiaochun hesitated. He could say those words at any time, but as long as they were spoken, it would mean a complete break with the past. No matter how many high-sounding reasons he could give to the outside world, he knew in his heart that he would be a genuine person by then. The rebels.

Can't stop, can't look back, forever
"I have also received some news." Zhao Mingcheng did not seem to notice Zhang Xiaochun's hesitation, and continued: "Our Song Dynasty's Western Army has privately mobilized three groups of soldiers and horses, passing through Hedong, all the way to Hebei, and the three groups The commanders of the army are Yao Gu, Xu Huiyan, and Zhong Shizhong."

All three of them are generals of the Western Army. Even among the last Zhong Shi Dao, because his brother Zhong Shi Dao chose to surrender to the Han people in the north and was implicated by him, the DPRK has recently been preparing to remove him from his post and appoint him as an idle official, but I don’t know why. Enabled it again.

Obviously, the Song Dynasty court made up its mind this time and would rather kill the unstable Zhang Xiaochun in Hebei at any cost.

Zhang Xiaochun's face immediately turned pale, and he said in confusion: "If these three people lead the army, then they must be elites from the northwest frontier army of the Song Dynasty. How can the Hebei Forbidden Army stop them? Furthermore, Liang Fangping is leading the Imperial Forbidden Army in the south, How can our army win when the two armies attack?"

Zhao Mingcheng said calmly: "In the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to go north to invite the King of Han quickly."

"Go to the north to invite him?"

Zhang Xiaochun stood up and said loudly: "I just want to find a way out for the two rivers, not to rebel, not to rebel against the Song Dynasty!"

"You can borrow troops," Zhao Mingcheng said softly, "Even if you borrow a thousand troops from the Han army, you can place them wherever you like. Let's see if Liang Fangping's disciples dare to Attack them."
