Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 220 Just cheat this time

Xia people are like maned dogs on the grassland. They always look a bit mean, but now and then, if Han Fang knew some words from later generations, he would probably describe Xia people as licking dogs now.

Three licking dogs kneeling before the King of Han.

Queen Mother Yelu was dressed very solemnly, with a high bun, a golden crown on her head, a pearl tassel on her forehead, and an apricot gold skirt. She was as bright as spring when she walked in. The faint fragrance of powder was like a finger hooking Liu Ling's head to look at her. .

Immediately, she met him with Han rites.

"It's a long journey. If you're hungry, there are preserved fruit snacks over there." Liu Ling pointed to the table next to him. Empress Dowager Yelu was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't get angry. She had to sit down and ate the preserved fruit while feeling bad. :
"Li Yuchang thought that I was going to lead my army to Yandi to help you again."

"He didn't say anything?"

"Oh, he would be happy to see me using my own wealth to subsidize you."

Empress Dowager Yelu already has few troops. After a few battles, Li Yuchang will be able to swallow up her faction without any effort.

Li Yuchang is cunning and cunning, while Brother Richard is fierce and barbaric. Their personalities are at opposite extremes, and the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division is the territory of the latter.

I thought you would understand.”

"Do you need your title?" Liu Ling calmly said something that sounded quite insulting.

She could accept her special status and accept the summons of the King of Han. As long as the latter gave even a few excuses and benefits, she could persuade herself to muddle along. Who wouldn't pretend to be confused? At least the current wealth and status can be saved.

At first, he would use mutually complementary reasons to persuade her, give her benefits, and give her gifts. But later, as the Han Kingdom became more powerful, he sent significantly fewer letters to Xia Kingdom.

But, after all, she is still the queen mother of a country.

After Liu Ling finished admiring it, he lazily said: "I ask you if you need this title. If you do, follow me back to Yandi now, and I will send someone to build a palace for you."

"King of Han!"

"Then you don't even have a letter?" Yelu Nanxian bit his lip, still a little dissatisfied, but his voice was softer.

"Because I know that I will see you soon. It's better for us to talk face to face than just a few words, isn't it?"

Empress Dowager Yelu's charming and pretty face was suddenly full of anger, and she couldn't help but say: "Even if you are a concubine in the world, she is fed, drank and taken care of by your master. How many times have I done this for you."

Queen Mother Yelu's chest heaved and she glared angrily.

Liu Ling nodded and lowered his head to write something. Empress Dowager Yelu pinched the dried fruit and said angrily: "Outsiders think that I am shy to support you, but what do I mean to the king, the outer chamber?"

Liu Ling's hand slowly twisted her hand, warming the back of her hand with his palm. Her long and slender fingers were gently held in his hand and rubbed.

Empress Dowager Yelu was really angry this time. Although the relationship between the two parties was more complicated, they were married after all. Coupled with Empress Dowager Yelu's love for her husband, tsk. This was a political marriage. Even if she and Lord Xia had What emotions were there are long gone now.

"Do you need it?" Liu Ling still asked.

He put down his pen, stood up and walked to Queen Mother Yelu, sat her down, and then sat next to her. He said gently: "The warmth of spring and coolness of summer are not as comfortable as those in the deep palace. I have to take the soldiers with me." While I was away fighting, I couldn't even take care of things in the back house. So, I was negligent for a while, but I was really too busy.

Yelu Nanxian glanced down and was too embarrassed to look up again, but he didn't move his hand away either. Even if she had a high status and power, no one would say such love words to her, and it was even less likely that Xia Master Li Qianshun would deliberately try to please her.

Yelu Nanxian originally came here full of anger. He wanted to vent his anger while asking for more benefits. He had organized his speech in advance, but now he felt a little at a loss.

"Are you tired from the journey?" Liu Ling put his arm around her shoulders and smelled the fragrance of powder and flower petals. "Some." Empress Dowager Yelu bit her lip, not wanting to refuse and returning the greeting. A blush appeared on her face, like peach blossoms in full bloom, and her jade face contained spring.

She hesitated and closed her eyes, but she didn't feel her clothes being pushed aside. Instead, he continued talking.

"I heard that your life in Xia Kingdom is not good, and those two thieves often have trouble with you. This Xia Kingdom is not a good place either. If you just say one word, I will take you back to live in Yunzhong. OK?"

Yelu Nanxian opened her eyes. King Han looked at her with pure eyes and said nothing.

She was struggling in her heart, but Liu Ling seemed to be unable to wait any longer. He moved his face slightly closer, and the former could even feel the heat of his breath. Suddenly he closed his eyes again and shook his head.

"No"

"Why?" Liu Ling immediately asked in disappointment, "I can give you glory and wealth. I will give you whatever you want."

Some women don't like the old man's appearance, but they like the old man's money. At the same time, they don't like the youth's poverty, but they like the silly way he holds himself while dreaming about the future of the two of them. Of course, the premise is that he looks good.

He is rich and powerful, and he speaks well. Although he is already middle-aged, his appearance is still excellent, and his temperament is as settled as old wine, making people want to indulge in it.

She buried her head in Liu Ling's arms and whispered, "I believe it."

"The Empress Dowager Yelu has sent people to deceive the city gates along the way to Wu Lahai City, but this city and the two surrounding forts are guarded by Brother Richard's confidants, and it is impossible for the Black Mountain Weifu Army Commander to do it because of his words. If you say so, please surrender with your hands tied."

"The Empress Dowager Yelu commanded 30,000 soldiers and horses, of which only 2,000 were wearing armor. They can be considered the elite of her confidants."

Liu Ling listened silently to the words of his staff. In the middle of the commander's tent, a huge map was slowly spread out. Many of the annotations on it were newly added, clearly mapping out the cities and march routes along the way.

Because Liu Ling had previously deliberately wiped out his informants on the Xia border, and although Empress Dowager Yelu could not mobilize the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, relying on her connections, she could still let the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division receive some wrong information.

Liu Ling knocked on the table and said calmly: "Send the order to Master Zhong so that his troops can leave."

February, Wu Lahaicheng.

"The Empress Dowager ordered that a Song army came out of the fortress and lost its way. Now they are searching everywhere. You also need to send some troops to prevent the Song army from running rampant in our territory."

The envoy stood in front of several generals and said in a deep voice.

A general immediately frowned and said, "This general has not received the order from the king and does not dare to leave without authorization."

"The situation is urgent. If the general has to wait until King Jin sends a message before sending troops, then it is up to you. The Queen Mother has already led the army to wait in the desert. If the delay does not come, if it leads to a serious mistake, even King Jin will have no reason to do so. Protect the general."

The messenger finished speaking coldly and then bowed to leave.

The leading Xia general took the letter and read it for a while. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Is it Yao Pingzhong who is leading the troops? His country, the Song Dynasty, has been in a series of wars in recent years, but he actually dares to send troops again?"

Since it was the Queen Mother who sent an envoy to speak, it was not that he didn't believe it, but he still didn't dare to send troops directly without the order of King Jin.

After all, although there are many troops in Wu Lahai City and Heishan Weifu Army Division, there are only so many armored elites that can really be taken out to fight in the field. If the soldiers and horses are lost, the cities under the control of Black Mountain Weifu Army Division will be in danger.

"It's the Song Army anyway, so it's okay to go." The deputy general advised from the side: "Maybe we can get some armor and prisoners."
