Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 153: Batulu, the No. in the Song Dynasty

"Mixed stuff!"

The sun was high at noon, and Liang Zhe was kicked as soon as he walked into the handsome tent. Although it was not serious, Liang Zhe rolled on the ground, then got up and knelt on the ground.

"Oh, how did General Liang know he was kneeling?"

Liu Ling returned to the main seat and sat down. He saw Liang Zhe kneeling on the ground and smiled at the others: "Come all, pay homage to General Liang. This is my good Marquis Yun. From now on, I will Don't you want to persuade a few more of your subordinates to make you a King of Liang?"

Liu Ling spoke in Chinese, which Liang Zhe could understand. He immediately raised his head, his eyes full of horror. When the other generals in the tent heard this, they immediately knelt down. Several generals in the Shengjie Army, their bodies He trembled slightly.

Liu Ling picked up the tea cup and took a sip without haste, then said softly: "How can you do it?"

"The general will finally be convicted!"

Liang Zhe kowtowed without hesitation.

Liu Ling stood up, walked to him, and kicked him hard again. Liang Zhe was kicked so hard that he turned over and got up, still kneeling on the ground.

"I didn't care about the matter on the grassland. Now that I'm going south to attack Song Dynasty, you still dare to take matters into your own hands. Do you think I don't dare to kill you to establish my authority?"

"The general will finally be convicted!" Liang Zhe knocked his head on the ground and shouted.

Liu Ling went up and kicked him again, and Liang Zhe turned over and knelt on the ground again, confessing loudly.

This guy can indeed fight and has a brain.

Three consecutive kicks made the other generals feel frightened. They all lowered their heads and dared not speak. After a while, two old generals whispered to persuade Liu Ling, which was actually a step down for both sides.

"General Liang is also too eager to seek merit, but now is the time to employ people. Your Majesty might as well let him plead guilty and perform meritorious service."

"Yelu Yanshan." Liu Ling sat back on the main seat and said loudly.

"The general is here!"

A Khitan general came out and bowed to Liu Ling.

"Now Yelu Yanshan is in charge of the front army. As for Liang Zhe, you have contributed to the victory of Mozhou. It is a crime to take it upon yourself. Now the merits and demerits are equal to each other. Do you have any opinion?"

Liang Zhe sighed inwardly and immediately nodded in agreement.

After everyone left, Liu Ling motioned Liang Zhe to stand up and asked, "How many casualties were there?"

"Less than twenty."

Liang Zhe answered with a low eyebrow.

"so little?"

Liang Zhe said a little aggrievedly: "Who knew the Song people were so careless? The Mozhou magistrate said that only a part of the Xiang army was stationed in the north of Hebei. If he really attacked the city, he would not be able to defend it, so he had no choice but to surrender."

"Don't say anything about Song people now." Liu Ling raised his fingers, and Liang Zhe immediately came to him obediently. Then, Liu Ling reached out and touched the back of his head.

Liang Zhe looked confused.

"The king and you are both brothers. On the battlefield, I rely on you. I have never forgotten this."

"You will finally understand."

"Today I will make my words clearer to you. If you understand in your heart, then I will let you listen to it again. If you didn't understand originally, then you must remember what I said."

"Yes, please give me your Majesty's orders."

"When you were the commander in the army, I put my life in your hands and listened to your orders; but when I was the commander, no matter what I said, no matter whether it was right or wrong, you had to listen and obey! If you feel something is wrong, you can come back and ask me and discuss it with me, but if you go beyond the order and directly mobilize troops next time, then don’t blame me."

"You will finally understand."

Liang Zhe was already kneeling on the ground again. He knew that Liu Ling was really speaking to him sincerely. In addition, he was already in the wrong. Even if he had military exploits, he did not follow orders first. He really wanted to use some clever tricks to get around this. One section, but unfortunately, I can’t get around it this time.

Liu Ling sighed and motioned for Liang Zhe to stand up.

"Did it hurt when I kicked you just now?"

"The general knows that the king is reluctant to use force, so it won't hurt."

"I can't reward you openly this time, otherwise others will have to imitate your misbehavior. The Xia Kingdom sent someone to give me a blood horse from the Western Regions. You can take it with you when you leave."

"The last general." Liang Zhe choked up.

"Why are you crying?"

"The king is like the father of the general, but the general is so ignorant."

Liu Ling: "."

If he remembered correctly, Liang Zhe had killed his father before.

Liang Zhe immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing in his head. Liu Ling laughed angrily at him and said: "Get out of here, don't let it happen again."

"Here."

Everyone in the army used to shout General Liang was mighty, and they were somewhat imitating Liang Zhe, but now they no longer dare to shout, and everyone feels much calmer.

Liang Zhe was kicked to the ground by the King of Han in front of them. When Liang Zhe came out, his eyes were still red, and he had obviously cried.

Are you crying after being scolded and beaten?

As soon as Liang Zhe came out, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Where is the military judge?" A military commander came next to him and bowed to him.

"I've met Marquis Yun."

Liang Zhe said in a low voice: "I want to get a stick. How many times will I be beaten if I don't obey the military order?"

"Uh." The military judge was also stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "Thirty blows."

"Please ask Marquis Yun to fight in the tent next to you."

"No, just fight here so that others can see." Liang Zhe lay on the ground. The military judge was helpless and signaled a soldier to come over. He took off General Liang's clothes and began to symbolically hit him with a stick.

"Military judge, and this stick beater, are you a fucking freeloader?" Liang Zhe shouted with his head held high: "I disobey military orders, I deserve to be beaten, hard!"

Few of the soldiers around dared to stop and look, but they all remembered this scene in their hearts.

Han Fang passed by, stopped and took a look, then turned and entered the handsome tent.

"Your Majesty, he."

"I know."

Liu Ling rubbed his brows. Originally, he had no intention of punishing him severely, but now that Liang Zhe took the initiative to "add drama" to him, Liu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to let him have a longer memory. Is there anything else?"

"The sentinel came to report that there was a rout of soldiers in the Hejian Prefecture area, that is, Yingzhou. Liang Fangping, the governor of Hejian Prefecture, is trying to win over the soldiers and is suspected of having the intention of counterattack."

"What is your name?"

"Liang Fangping."

Liu Ling nodded and said: "If he really leads troops to fight, you can send an order to Yelu Yanshan on my behalf, telling him not to retreat and to attack at full speed."

"Here."

Han Fang nodded and suggested: "Although the attack on Hebei this time is intended to plunder to enrich the family, I feel that it is best not to kill too many Song officials. It is better to let them go to show leniency.

If Hejian Mansion is lost, the Song people will have no intention to fight, and the subsequent peace talks will be easy. "

"I see."

"I, now I just want to know why Liu Ling led his army to capture two prefectures in two days! And Liang Fangping of Hejian Prefecture fled before the battle, giving all the prefectures and tens of thousands of defenders to Liu Ling !”

Zhao Guanjia was sitting on the dragon chair and said angrily to the courtiers in a rare moment: "Where is Tong Guan? Where is Tong Guan's 300,000 troops? How did Liu Ling get here?"

The actual number of soldiers and horses that Tong Guan arrived at Yan was about 130,000 to 40,000. When they arrived at Zhao Guan's house, the number suddenly doubled, apparently because he drank the blood of the soldiers again.

"Even if there are 300,000 pigs, there is no way that there will be no news that he was directly beaten by Liu Ling, right?"

Zhao Guanjia's voice was trembling.

Wang Fu stood up and said respectfully: "We can only wait and see what the news is from the north, but Liu Ling has rebelled after all. It is better to choose a general who can fight first and lead the troops to resist."

"Then tell me, everyone, who can fight?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Apparently the most capable and senior one is Tong Guan, Prince of Guangyang County, followed by Zhongshi Dao. However, one of these two people is in Yandi and the other is in Yunzhong. I don’t know if they are both dead.

Moreover, if the person you recommend fails, you will have to follow him in the future.

There was silence in the court.

Zhao Guanjia was so angry that he couldn't help it and looked at Wang Fu again. The latter sighed in his heart and glanced back.

Immediately, a minister came out and suggested: "Liu Ling was a bandit from the Yan area. He was lucky enough to be the commander of an army, but then he betrayed Heaven's grace and arrogantly claimed to be a king. But looking closely at the root cause, he had fought for the Song Dynasty several times before. , to resist the Xia, grasslands and the Jin Kingdom. From then on, it was also a barrier for our Song Dynasty to resist the northern invaders.

It can be seen that he had no rebellious intentions before, so this time it was entirely the Guangyang County Prince who took advantage of the border provocation. It would be better for Your Majesty to show mercy, send envoys to recruit surrender, and give more money and food every year. Liu Ling will definitely burst into tears with gratitude. "

"Surrender?" Zhao Guanjia laughed angrily and said angrily: "Liu Ling is good at attacking the borders of the Song Dynasty."

"His Majesty."

Wang Fu said: "Liu Ling is no more than Yan Yun's son, with no more than 10,000 soldiers. I heard that the subordinates he relies on are ordinary soldiers who defected from the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that this man is suffering from ringworm. No sight.

At present, the Song Dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and the elite soldiers of the two rivers are in the north without news. The remaining soldiers are unable to fight, so it is better to recruit and surrender early and negotiate for peace. Even if Liu Ling does not know what is good and what is good, what can he accomplish with his more than 10,000 soldiers? "

".Who can be my envoy?"

Chen Guoting, the imperial censor, stood up and said in a deep voice: "I recommend a person who has an upright temperament and quick thinking. He will definitely be able to fulfill his mission."

"who?"

"This man was originally a general magistrate in Dengzhou, and then he returned to his hometown as an official. He was falsely accused again. In the past few years, he has been depressed and frustrated, but he is indeed a loyal minister."

"What's your name?" Zhao Guanjia frowned, already a little impatient.

"Zongze."
