Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 209 Bad Ratio
The war between Han and Jin was fierce, and there was a lot of discussion in the Song Dynasty court and among the people. Although there were voices of taking action, most people still tended to wait and see.

Someone made a very interesting metaphor, that is, judging from the current situation, if the Song Dynasty sends troops, it is equivalent to putting your hand into the mouth of a tiger or wolf to break up the fight. I don’t say whether you can persuade them to stop, but you will definitely be bitten hard. A few mouthfuls.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, which sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, the Xia State was the real people who wanted to eat melons. After all, although their own factions were seriously divided, the "hot love" between the Queen Mother Yelu and the King of Han, the Xia State had no regard for Yan Yun. If there is no threat, the King of Han will definitely not attack his family again.

Sure enough, after the news of the great victory at Shanhaiguan, Grassland, and Tianshan came, Xia State immediately began to organize missions. Whether it was the Queen Mother of Xia State, the King of Jin Brother Richard, or the Prime Minister Li Yuchang, all three of them sent out The confidants entered the mission, eager to reach a new consensus with the King of Han.

To be honest, this three-acre land in Xia Kingdom is still very fragrant. If you separate it and become a small country owner, you can live a comfortable life without having to worry about the neighbors who are like tigers and wolves around you.

Of course, the latter does not include the Song Dynasty.

In October of the first year of Jingkang.

The King of Han destroyed the entire Jin army that had captured the Great Wall in several battles, and captured the entire Great Wall on both sides of Juyong Pass. Wanyan Zongwang's sister-in-law Zhang Wu took over all the remaining forces of the former, and joined forces with Wanyan Yanmu who was stationed in the three states of Pingluan to the east. The formation of a cornering force completely completed the split of the southern forces of the Jin Kingdom.

Immediately, the King of Han led his army back to Yanjing, offered sacrifices to heaven in public, and declared the founding of the country.

The name of the country was Han, and Liu Ling was called the ruler.

"We sent people to contact Empress Dowager Yelu, Li Yuchang, and Brother Richard respectively. They each told them that I can help them establish Dingxia Kingdom and be their allies forever. As long as they can satisfy me, I will be with them for generations. Allies, we will protect the country together."

Han Fang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and replied, "I understand."

so bad.

If the people of Song Dynasty want to take back the land of One Prefecture and Six Prefectures in Hebei Province at this time, then let them do it. After they have just defeated Xia Kingdom, they can use this as an excuse to continue to attack Song Dynasty. "

The golden man was already panicking.

Liu Ling now has enough soldiers under his command to withdraw his troops and rest while mobilizing other troops to sharpen their swords in the blood.

It is expected that the elite troops that can be mobilized to attack Xia from the west will exceed 50,000.

Envoys from the Song, Jin, and Xia kingdoms came to congratulate him. Immediately, Liu Ling gathered large-scale troops in the Yanjing and Shanhaiguan areas in the name of congratulating the autumn harvest.

Liu Ling chuckled, thought for a moment, and said: "Cut off the flow of grain and grass from Yanyun to the Kingdom of Jin, and do your best to buy their domestic grain and grass. What can be transported will be transported back to Juyongguan, and what cannot be transported back will be burned on the spot, a grain of Don’t leave it to the golden people either.”

"It is reported that troops are also gathering in the Kingdom of Jin. The Jin people have no time to pay attention to the rebels in the north and east. The puppet emperor asked in public in the court if he could lead the expedition himself."

The Jin people now believe that Liu Ling will take the opportunity to lead the entire army north, so they are now determined to fight desperately.

"Han Shizhong's troops have returned to Yunzhong with more than 15,000 soldiers. Li Liangfu's 8,000 Lulong Army cavalry can still participate in the battle. Liang Zhe's 30,000 Hebei troops have been mobilized into Yan territory to guard against the Jin army's southward movement.

They wanted to take a risk before, but lost all their chips. Now it is even more necessary to put aside all the problems at hand to face the Han army. All parties are desperately deploying troops and supplies, which is equivalent to bringing the national situation to the most difficult period a few years ago.

First, they deliberately faked a shot and pretended to attack the Jin Kingdom, forcing the latter to lose all their money and quickly prepare their armaments to prepare for the war. Then the Han army spent half a month to rest and adjust their troops. During this period, the Xia Kingdom relaxed their vigilance and allowed them to first Self-inflicted civil unrest.

If the Xia family united, Liu Ling would not be able to send troops to attack immediately, but they each had great interests and demands, and it was impossible to form a monolithic situation.

When the three forces of the Xia Kingdom smashed all the pots and pans on their heads, the Han army would be finished. The most ideal situation is that after this battle, Liu Ling can take the entire Hetao area under his command and defeat the entire Xia Kingdom along the Yellow River; to the east, the Jin people who are sharpening their swords and preparing to face the Han army will find themselves being brutally attacked by the Han king. A tough one.

Even if Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom wanted to personally conquer Mang at this time, the greater possibility would be to repeat what happened to Wanyan Lou's family, because if the Jin army wants to go south again now, they will face It starts from Shanhaiguan in the west and ends at Yingpingluan in the east. In the middle is Juyongguan and the Yanyun Northern Iron Wall of the Great Wall.

Not only would it be difficult for them to capture these passes, but the domestic situation, which was getting worse day by day, would quickly wear down their army.

The Han army, not the Liao army, and certainly not the Song army, Liu Ling did not relax his requirements even for the local defenders. He would train on time and pay normally, completely turning the north into a fortress that could attack at any time.

"By the way." Han Fang suddenly remembered something and reminded him: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang of the Song Kingdom is still in the cloud, and he should ask to see you tomorrow."

During the "Sacrifice to Heaven and Founding of the Kingdom", King Kang was forced to serve as an envoy of the Song people and participate in the founding of the Han Dynasty.

He originally wanted to send someone back to inquire with the court, or even sternly refuse in person, but the Han cavalry impressed him so deeply that day that he had no choice but to agree.

Liu Ling smiled and asked, "Let someone help him build momentum in Hebei first."

He went to the enemy country alone as an envoy, stayed calm and commanded bravely, temporarily led more than a thousand militiamen, blocked an equal number of Jin cavalry, and together with the generals of the Han army, killed the Jin's third prince Wanyan Zongfu!

The martial virtues of the princes of the Song Dynasty were actually so abundant.

It can be expected that the people of the Song Dynasty will quickly set off a wave of pursuit of King Kang, and at the same time they will be guided to "actively think" why such a brave, resourceful and martial prince would be sent alone to an enemy country as an envoy. , even hostages.

Anyway, there are many down-and-out literati in Hebei who are willing to write about King Kang. As long as they are given money, they can try their best to promote King Kang to the sky. Even if they are found out by the government, the worst they can do is drag their families and flee to the seven states of Hebei under the rule of King Han.

This is a blunt knife cutting flesh. If the Song people have strong soldiers and horses, they don't need to care. But just like the Jin people would not particularly care about the Han's strategic intimidation if they had a big family and a big business, Liu Ling was targeting their weaknesses one by one.

When the time comes, in the name of King Kang, let the Hebei army serve him as an official, and have a "pacific crisis" with the Song Dynasty, and the Song people will collapse even faster.

"Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"After you found the country, you still have to have a reign name, you see."

Liu Ling frowned and thought for a while. He found it troublesome to name the name, so he kicked the ball to Han Fang.

"What do you think?"

"I have discussed it with many colleagues. Generally speaking, they all agree on 'Yuanshi' and 'Jianyan'."

"It's all a mess."

When Liu Ling heard the latter one, he instinctively felt it was unlucky and said, "Just do martial arts."
