Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 251 Ye Xin
When Liu Ling led his army to Yinzhou, the Xia chief officer in Yinzhou presented thirty pairs of armors. Through the introduction of literary officials, Liu Ling knew that the armors in front of him were probably the so-called Xixia cold-forged armors, but these were too expensive.

The armor currently equipped by the Han army combines the metallurgical technology of Liao and Jin, and is "at the forefront of the world." There is no need or condition to install this kind of Xixia armor on a large scale.

Liu Ling kept three sets of armor for himself, and the remaining twenty-seven sets were all given to his generals. He still had plenty of time to send troops, so after meeting the Xia officials, Liu Ling went to the Queen Mother's palace to stay overnight. Look at your own son.

When he got up in the morning, he sat on the edge of the bed and said casually: "When my son is one year old, send him to Yandi. If you can't let go of Li Renxiao then, you can stay here. If you can't let go of your son, just stay here." Come to Yandi together.”

Yelu Nanxian was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I still have a palace here, and the Xia people are holding it up and down. What can I get if I go to Yandi? A small courtyard, and then wait to see the princess's face?"

"I will build you a palace in Yandi, along with Yayuan, so you can live alone."

"Wouldn't that mean that the name of the King of Han was wasted? However, the child must have a good name. How about making him a king now?"

A smile appeared on Queen Mother Yelu's lips. She didn't notice Liu Ling's suddenly cold eyes, and said to herself: "Now the king uses my palace's way to go, that is because I am in Yinzhou, and someone else has replaced him."

"It would be the same for anyone else."

Liu Ling said calmly: "Last time we only captured the Yellow River, but Gu can also fight all the way to Xingqing Mansion, but it's not necessary. You think you can give me this convenience because you are in Yinzhou, but you are wrong, it's Gu Zai With you behind you, you can live in Yinzhou safely.

"I'm going to fight again."

Do you think the bones of Xia people are so hard that Gu has to ask a woman to clear the way for Gu? "

Liu Ling moved the reins and said: "According to the king's order, all cities within a radius of 400 miles in Yinzhou will return to the Han from today. Those who do not obey will be slaughtered."

But he just slept in his own bed for one night last night, and he was so cold when he woke up in the morning.

"Changed."

"Uh, is it my Daxia flag?"

Queen Mother Yelu sat up, the quilt slipped from her body, and the trembling snow-capped mountains exuded a cold breath. She reached out and grabbed Liu Ling's shoulders, and said angrily: "Whatever I say, you can say whatever is wrong. Now I can't I don’t want to argue with you, it’s just that I gave birth to the child.”

"What do you mean?"

Without looking back, Liu Ling raised his hand to hold her hand, and said softly: "How many soldiers are waiting to follow me and stand out with their military exploits. How can my son, He De, be the king after he is born?"

After leaving the palace, there were already teams and soldiers waiting outside the palace gate. Liu Ling got on his horse and looked at the city streets in front of him. Not far away, the Xia chief officer in the city hurried over with several subordinate officials to prepare. When I was waiting, I heard the King of Han ask a question in Dangxiang dialect.

King Han's answer was very calm, but this calmness showed a hint of indifference.

"What kind of flag is used on the city?"

Empress Dowager Yelu looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. She had just given birth to a son for him not long ago. Compared to the King of Han, who had meager offspring, she naturally felt confident after giving birth to a son for him.

"Then it's yours."

Liu Ling said calmly: "If you want to take him to live in Xia Kingdom, it's up to you. Qianliang Gu will send someone to deliver it on time. If you feel uncomfortable living in Yinzhou, if you want to go to Yandi, just come directly. "

"There is Taiyuan Prefecture in the east of the river, and Qingyuan and Xinde Prefecture in the north of Hebei. They are all strong and important towns with a lot of soldiers, horses and food. No matter where the Han army goes south, they have to break a tooth in these three places first!"

Zhao Mingcheng slapped his palm on the table. He was the pacifier of Hebei East Road and was in charge of the military power. Therefore, as long as Zhang Xiaochun nodded, Zhao Mingcheng could smoothly mobilize the troops from several surrounding states.

Now he must try his best to dispel everyone's concerns about the Han army, so that the latter can focus all their energy on resisting the Western army and the imperial imperial army. But someone immediately had questions: "Although there are strong towns to resist the places where Yanyun and the two rivers border, didn't the Han thieves go south smoothly before? What if these three places can't stop it, or maybe The Han thieves took a detour southward and crossed those cities, harassing and plundering them. But what did Mr. Zhao do? "

"You are presumptuous!"

Zhao Mingcheng stood up suddenly and pointed at the official: "How dare you speak so rudely? Do you still have the Song Dynasty in your eyes? You said this to shake the morale of the army. It is simply treason! If you hadn't colluded with the Han people, how could you have destroyed Is the Song Dynasty more powerful than the Han thieves?"

An official: "."

Liu Yu's lips twitched as he watched, and then he stood up and said with a smile: "He is just out of public interest. Besides, Yanyun is beyond our reach except for the two rivers in the south, right?"

There was a huge map hanging in front of everyone. Liu Yu walked to the edge of the map and pointed:
"To the east of Yan is the sea, and to the west of Yunzhong is the Xia Kingdom. If the King of Han does not attack the two rivers, these are the only places he can go. But the sea is thousands of miles away, and the Xia Kingdom is sandwiched between the Han thieves and us, the Song Dynasty. , separated by hundreds of miles of land, the Han army could not fly in unless they all had wings.

Also, didn't the Han people agree to lend troops? As long as the Han people send troops, the imperial court will hesitate, and maybe they won't send troops to attack Hebei again. "

"This is ridiculous. He, Liang Fangping, has already sent troops to invade a few days ago, but I am still cowering. If we don't join forces and march now, there will be no eggs in the nest, and everyone will die!"

There was a commotion in the lobby.

Outside the hall, King Kang walked out slowly with an indifferent expression, followed by a general.

"Did you hear that?"

He chuckled and said: "These silverfish usually only shirk the blame, but now that something really happened, how could they all change their minds and do things, but I am being coerced by them? It's true."

"The King's words are not entirely true."

The general replied: "Now that Hebei is in turmoil, your Majesty is elected as the leader by everyone, and he is justified. In the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops under the guise of the Qing Emperor. His Highness is a serious descendant of the Tian family. If Hebei really surrenders, and with the power of Hebei alone, there is still a lot to be done.”

"Pengju, you are good at saying nice things."

King Kang showed a wry smile and replied: "Anyone can talk big words, but things are different now. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty is the largest, and the three Western armies are coming. When the time comes, they will be surrounded by a cage, and it will be difficult to fly without wings."

"Your Highness."

Yue Fei stopped, and King Kang also stopped and turned to look at him.

"If we can give him three thousand men, he can defeat Liang Fangping's men head-on within half a month."

"You are a subordinate general. It's okay to talk big to Gu, but this is using troops! It's fighting!"

King Kang looked at Yue Fei with a bad tone.

Yue Fei replied: "The external enemy is in the north, and the internal enemy is in the front. If we really wait until we are surrounded on all sides, we will naturally be unable to recover. And judging from the deliberations of the princes in the hall, His Highness will not be able to achieve anything by relying on these people."

"Do you rely on them or on you?" King Kang sneered.

"It's all about relying on the last general! Only by opening up the situation now and holding Hebei in our hands can we calmly deal with the three-way Western Army."

Yue Fei said in a deep voice:
"Ten days! Give the last 3,000 men, and within ten days we can defeat Liang Fangping and take over all of Hebei!"
