Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 252: Against the General

In the Song Dynasty, the ministers from Hebei Province and the central government all looked down upon Liang Fangping.

When Tong Guan was around, there was Tan Zhen who could compete with the former in terms of ability and qualifications. In comparison, Liang Fangping seemed a bit embarrassed. Although he also suppressed the so-called civil uprising internally, in the final analysis, he If he really had any ability, the King of Han would not have been able to go south smoothly back then.

"When the Third Route Western Army arrives, let's not say that Zhang Xiaochun has any extraordinary abilities. Even if he does, he will have to be captured without hesitation."

Liang Fangping didn't count on the army at all. This time he only brought more than 8,000 imperial guards. In addition, they were Xiang troops and civilians. Are the latter capable of fighting?

On the left and right sides in front of him, on the left hand side was not Du Chong, whom Liang Fangping trusted now, but a tall man with pure eyes and a careless and lazy atmosphere.

This man's name is Liu Guangshi. Since his father died in the northwest, the Zhao Guan family, under the advice of court officials, intends to continue to reuse him as a general and tiger, so now he is standing here. However, there are many problems with his soldiers and horses, and even Liang Fangping was once... I feel a headache.

"The spies are here to report that there are many changes in Hebei, and Zhang Ni has already started to take action." Liang Fangping looked around at everyone and was about to give orders when Liu Guangshi suddenly said:

"Mr. Liang, why did the last general hear that a group of our officers secretly robbed a caravan in Hebei and killed the soldiers in Hebei? Isn't this the trouble caused by our men?"

"nonsense,"

There was a hint of warning in Liang Fangping's eyes, and he said coldly: "I don't know what the caravan is. Maybe it was robbed by a group of bandits and bandits, and Thief Zhang just used it as an excuse. People like him, as long as they have thoughts in their hearts, Why can't he find the reason?
General Liu, your father dedicated his life for the country. Why don't you go first in this battle? I heard the news and said that Thief Zhang intends to send an army to attack. You have 2,500 soldiers. I I will give you another 2,500 to make up for the 5,000 men, and take your troops to cross the river and guard Changhe Town in Dezhou. They will arrive within ten days without any mistakes. "

Liu Guangshi stood at the gate of the camp outside the city, looking at Yuancheng in front of him, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Du Chong stayed where he was. He regarded himself as Liang Fangping's number one confidant and wanted to use Liang Fangping's way to gain the appreciation of the court. He sneered at Liu Guangshi and said: "General Liu is a general who is a scumbag. I will not admire him, but I just listen to him." He said that the rebels in Hebei are fierce. If the general is timid, he can go and beg for mercy. Liang Gong is not an unreasonable person. "

The anger has been expressed, but he will definitely be sad later. Liu Guangshi is almost forty years old this year. After his father died, he has learned to cultivate relationships in both directions, but he still couldn't hold it back just now.

"Go ahead and take it."

Sure enough, when he went to other military camps in the afternoon to mobilize troops and horses based on documents, the commander of the camp told him that Liang Fangping had ordered down, saying that most of Liu Guangshi's troops were old, weak, sick and disabled, so they could not be counted as soldiers and should have been supplied. At this time, only less than half of the money, food and soldiers were provided for more than 5,000 people.

Liang Fangping stood up and walked away, and most of the other officials and generals bowed and saluted and left one after another.

King Kang ordered. He pointed to the treasury behind him and the soldiers beside him, indicating that Yue Fei did not need to be humble.

"Here." Liu Guangshi's eyes darkened. Most of his soldiers and horses were old, weak, sick and disabled. From Daming Mansion to Dezhou, most of the soldiers walked forward on straw sandals. Within ten days, Able to?

He just asked a question, and Liang Fangping directly made such a stumbling block for him in public. This is too much.
"Just do it."

Liu Guangshi saw Du Chong's disgusting face flashing in front of him, and the anger in his heart was immediately aroused. When Du Chong was about to approach his face again, he punched Du Chong hard in the eye. The man screamed, Liu Guangshi spat at him, and walked out of the government office without looking back.

After he knew most of Yue Fei's previous past, he decided to place his bet on the bold Qiu Ba, and even went so far as to ask Zhang Xiaochun for something, but the process of asking for it went surprisingly smoothly.

His courage is indeed high enough now.

Yue Fei was filled with gratitude and sincerely saluted King Kang, and then called the two groups of soldiers behind him to follow him into the door of the treasury. King Kang turned to look at the middle-aged man next to him, showing a gentle smile. "Xiangong Zhao helped me a lot this time. Xiao Wang will remember it in his heart and will do it in the future."

Zhao Mingcheng waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and I will certainly be able to make great achievements in the future. I am a minister of your Majesty. I am just following your Majesty's orders. How dare you take credit?"

The words were very direct, and the meaning revealed in them was also very straightforward. King Kang was a little stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"Hurry up and move them all out."

"Together, but these are just..." The soldier grabbed a handful of armor pieces in front of Yue Fei, let go, and the iron pieces that were not connected into armor fell back. Yue Fei was stunned, and he walked quickly to In other warehouses, even if it is a complete set of armor, most of them are old and dilapidated and have extremely poor defense.

Yue Fei quickly calmed down. He asked some people to continue carrying the armor, and led a few soldiers to check other places one by one. Anyway, there were still a lot of usable bows, crossbows, swords and guns, but in this way, they were far from enough. Yue Fei's original idea.

After barely disposing of the soldiers, there is still money and food. Don’t worry about this. There are more than 200,000 yuan in the treasury of Qingyuan Mansion. This money should be the "yearly gift" given to the Han people in the north this year. However, as the war was about to begin, Zhang Xiaochun withheld the money under Zhao Mingcheng's persuasion and used it as military supplies for the time being.

As for food, as long as Yue Fei can really defeat Liang Fangping within ten days, the food will be enough.

When he walked out of the treasury, Yue Fei caught a glimpse of King Kang and Zhao Mingcheng, the envoy of Lu Fu, still standing not far away talking. He went up and stood aside. King Kang looked back and saw him and said with a smile: "But what's missing?"

"When I return to Your Highness, my troops will be well-prepared and the general will be ready to lead the army at any time."

"Then I will prepare a celebration wine for you in advance for Pengju." King Kang showed a smile.

"Do you really believe that you can destroy an eunuch in ten days?"

Yue Fei replied: "Three days on the road, three days of fighting, three days of attacking the city, and finally one day to rest and recuperate. Ten days is enough, just..."

"Just what?"

"General, I heard that the Han people sent reinforcements?"

King Kang's smile suddenly changed. He looked at Yue Fei and said calmly: "It's the reinforcements borrowed by Mr. Zhang. I don't know about it, but it's better than nothing."

"Have you ever thought about it, Your Majesty?"

"Do you think the Han people will take the opportunity to go south?"

King Kang smiled and replied: "Since Pengju you are about to go on an expedition, Gu is not afraid to tell you a little more news to ease his mind. Zhang Xuanfu told Gu that Qingyuan Mansion has ambushed an army of 60,000 people. If If the Han people really dare to take advantage of the opportunity to go south, they must be prepared to be wiped out!

Let him have one and die! "
