Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 211 Mouth Substitution
Yanjing was originally one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom. The palaces in the city were burned down in several wars. Even when Liu Ling later took over Yanjing, he was not in a hurry to live in the palace. He only ordered that the pictures in the palace be sealed and repaired. After collecting books and books, he asked people to build another Han Dynasty palace in the city for the residence of the female family members in the back house.

At the founding of the country, when Liu Ling was leaving, Shi Liai and Han Fang brought a group of officials to persuade him to live in the palace. The King of Han agreed and rewarded the ministers and soldiers lavishly. Then, he publicly named the former Zhenyuan Army. The number was changed to "Zhenbei".

Zhenbei Army.

It’s obvious what his intentions are.

Coupled with the continuous mobilization and assembly of troops in Yanyun and Yun, even the Jin court has judged that the next step for the Han king must be to go north from the Great Wall. The people at the top were panicked, let alone the common people below. For a moment, The civil unrest and rebellion in the southern part of the Jin Kingdom became more and more serious, and they were infinitely close to getting out of control.

Wanyan Gao was wearing clean clothes and was sitting on his knees in the tent. In front of him, Liu Ling took a sip of tea and talked to Wanyan Gao leisurely.

Immediately, the curtain was lifted, and a big man walked in, crossed Wanyan Gao, and bowed down to Liu Ling.

"The guilty general Zhang Wu, pays homage to the king!"

"Lao Zhang is here."

Under the stunned gazes of several people in the tent, Liu Ling stood up and walked towards Zhang Wu, putting his arm around the latter's shoulders affectionately.

Zhang Wu was no longer the defeated soldier, nor was he the leader of Liu Ling's soldiers;
If he wanted to hide among the Jin people as a "spy", gain their trust, gain a firm foothold in the Jin Kingdom, and even win over some of the Jin army in private, Zhang Wu must have relied on more than just the information given by Liu Ling from behind. Financial support.

After sitting down, the two of them ignored Wanyan Gao who was kneeling on the ground and talked for a while. Liu Ling suddenly laughed and said:

It was late at night, and drinks were flowing one after another. Liu Ling did not deliberately humiliate Wanyan Gao next to him, but still asked people to give him wine and meat. The latter was good-looking, and drank silently, listening to their words in silence, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. .

"It'll be great if you can come back. From now on, we two brothers will share the wealth!"

"This" Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment and did not dare to answer the question. He could only laugh and said: "How can a dog be so lucky to reach your highness? Your Majesty is so kind and I will keep it in my heart, but I really don't dare."

"I heard that my sister-in-law has given birth to a boy for you, and I have a daughter in my family. How about we get married together? By the way, I will choose a big mansion for you in Yanjing. It is bitterly cold in the north. I think, my brother-in-law and After all, my nephews are women and children, and they should have a safe place to live. You can find a time to send them to Yanjing, and I will ask people to treat them well."

The candlelight flickered, as if there was an invisible wind in the tent, which made people feel a little chilly.

When Liu Ling put down the wine glass, Zhang Wu was already drunk and lying on the table, mumbling indistinctly. Then he was half-supported and half-carried by several maids and taken to other tents to rest. There was no sound in the huge tent. , it instantly became deserted.

When he saw Zhang Wu's face, Wanyan Gao next to him was suddenly startled, and then sneered.

"That's right, let's have a drink. We won't go home until we get drunk tonight!"

"General Sin, thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ling smiled noncommittally and paused slightly while playing with the jade ring.

Liu Ling's eyes rested on Wanyan Gao, who smiled contemptuously and said, "Your Majesty is really far-sighted. Did you already know the movements of our army when we set out?"

Zhang Wu surrendered, but it was nothing to the Jin court, because after the demise of the Liao Kingdom, even if Liu Ling tried his best to recruit surrenders and rebels in Yanyun, there were still many Liao ministers who chose to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Gao also talked about similar things with other people when he was in China. However, in his opinion at the time, as long as Dajin still had strong troops and horses, all the unfavorable factors in front of him could naturally be eliminated. But now.
Jin soldiers were mobilized and assembled in the country, and Liu Ling would be able to know in advance through the details placed inside the Jin Kingdom;

On the other hand, Yanyun mobilized troops on a large scale, or even did not mobilize any troops at all. Could Liu Ling also let those details feed back completely wrong news to the Jin court?

Whether it was Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Loushi, or even Wanyan Zongwang who had sworn an alliance with Liu Ling, as long as they made a move, Liu Ling would immediately have back-ups to deal with them.

Wanyan Gao didn't wait for Liu Ling to answer, he took the initiative to smile and said: "That General Zhang can be said to be loyal to you, Your Majesty. I didn't expect that he would work so hard for you, but you don't believe him at all."

The King of Han, does he really want to marry a general?

This is not impossible, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than wanting Zhang Wu to send his family members to Yanjing.

Liu Ling listened noncommittally, then stood up, revealing a map hanging behind him.

On the map, the red area represents the Han Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom in the north is black, the Song Kingdom in the south is green, and the Xia Kingdom in the west is blue.

Without waiting for Liu Ling's instructions, Wanyan Gao stood up and walked to the map, looked at it, then stretched out his hand and pointed at a certain place in the Kingdom of Jin, and said: "The label here is wrong. The city here has been abandoned for a long time. It should be occupied now." It’s occupied by a group of refugees.”

Liu Ling nodded slightly and let Wanyan Gao look at the map. The latter looked at the map and especially noticed that the north of Hebei in the Song Dynasty had been dyed red.

He suddenly sighed and asked: "My Dajin has lost countless soldiers this time, so the king wants to take advantage of the situation to attack Jin, right?"

The Great Wall has recently been surrendered. It is impossible for Liu Ling to complete the defense of the Great Wall and the pass points along the way in just two months. Therefore, the main force stationed at the Great Wall should still be Wanyan Zongwang's old troops, as well as those who are completely attached to Wanyan Yanmu and Zhang Wu. Some soldiers.

But Liu Ling took the initiative to speak at this time, suggesting that Zhang Wu sent his family to Yanjing. Obviously, he did not completely trust the Great Wall defenders and hoped to increase their reliability in all aspects.

This is not about defending at all, but about attacking.

In fact, the fight between the two sides was not bad. The Jin Kingdom could just turn its excessive surplus population into cannon fodder on the battlefield, and solve various problems in an instant. But as long as most of the Jin army was blocked outside the Great Wall defense line, the war lasted for a long time, and no money or food was left, the Jin army itself would collapse without a fight.

But now, Wanyan Gao was really not sure whether the Jin army, which had already lost several battles in a row, could stop the Han army's offensive if an all-out war broke out. If the latter really wants to go out for the Northern Expedition, can the Jin Kingdom stop it?
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment and tried to hide it: "Brother Wanyan is too worried. Our army has already been extremely exhausted and cannot bear to fight anymore. I hope that Brother Wanyan can write a personal letter and give it to His Majesty the Emperor of Jin. I am willing to cooperate with you." Each of the Jin Kingdoms will defend their territory and will never invade each other again."

"Okay, let's send Marshal Wanyan back to write a letter. I want you to serve him well."

Liu Ling shouted to the outside world, and immediately several soldiers walked in. Wanyan Gao was forced to turn around and glared at Liu Ling fiercely before leaving.

The candlelight was dim and the night was as thick as ink.

There were only a few sparse words on the paper, and Wan Yangao couldn't write it down several times. When he was sitting at the table and lost his mind, he suddenly frowned and looked at the window behind him, subconsciously holding the candlestick.

A pale man's face appeared at the window at some point. He held the window with one hand and seemed to want to climb in.
