The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 289

The hinterland of the Liao Kingdom, grassland.

A Song cavalry galloped wildly on the grassland, searching and killing on the vast grassland.

Regardless of women and children, as long as they encounter it, they will be killed.

The leader is a young man. A few months ago, he was a small county magistrate in Linfeng City. All he did was to appease the people and mediate their disputes, but now he looks like a murderous maniac.

There were no less than a few hundred people who died under him. When he cut it down with his knife, he hesitated, but he still cut it down.

This is not a battlefield, killing people here has a sinful feeling.

But kindness alone is not enough for a person to survive in this world. In many cases, ruthlessness and madness are indispensable.

Fierce and crazy, sometimes for oneself, sometimes for the country.

At this time, Huo Zhan was ruthless for the country. When he led the troops to lurk in the enemy's hinterland, he had already made such a determination, and what he knew better was that he could only do so.

The Liao people are crazy. They want to get food from the Song Dynasty and get something that can survive. They will kill people more recklessly in the Song Dynasty. If they want to make the Liao people give up resistance, they only need to make them feel that they are in danger of extinction. Row.

How to make them feel the danger of extinction?

Kill, kill all the women and children of the Liao Kingdom, so that they can no longer reproduce and grow stronger.

This is a cruel thing, but someone has to do it.

The autumn wind was cold, and the grassland was completely withered. The land where it hadn't rained for several months was dry. Occasionally, the wind and sand would blow the sky, covering the entire grassland. Looking at the scene, Huo Zhan felt a sense of pride for some reason.

When Huo Qubing fought against the Huns, did he also encounter such weather, and what did he think?

Huo Zhan took the knife from his waist, looked it over carefully, and then yelled a few times: "Man, you should kill the enemy and serve the country. I, Huo Zhan, will join the army today and vow to deal with the Liao people to the end."

The wild voice resounded on the grassland, all the guards had excited eyes and surging hearts.

Throwing a pen into the army?

Throughout the ages, how many weak scholars like to join the army?
Pride, a man should have a passion.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The strong wind picked up again, and a small group of Liao people fled, but they were quickly wiped out by Huo Zhan and his men.

And just after they wiped out the small group of Liao people, a group of troops came rushing not far away, and there were at least 500 people in that group, Huo Zhan frowned slightly: "The enemy turns around very quickly. Come, assemble the army, and fight the enemy."

For Huo Zhan, he felt that since he could kill those unarmed civilians, he could still fight against the regular army of the Liao people. Now that he had penetrated into the hinterland of the Liao army, he had already put life and death aside.

The two armies were getting closer and closer, and the wind and sand filled the air. Someone on the other side shouted loudly: "But Mr. Huo Zhanhuo, the county magistrate of Linfeng City in the Song Dynasty?"

It is the language of the Han people.

Huo Zhan was overjoyed: "It's my official, who is your Excellency?"

"I am the new guerrilla general Cao Jue of the imperial court."

Cao Jue still had a good reputation in the capital. When Huo Zhan heard that it was Cao Jue, he was both surprised and delighted. He hurried forward and said, "It's really General Cao. I just don't know why General Cao came here? According to what I know You know, it seems that General Cao did not go out with the army."

Seeing Huo Zhan's heroic spirit, Cao Jue immediately took a liking to him, saying: "The imperial court received the battle report, saying that you abandoned the city, but fortunately Master Liu Weiliu said that you must have a purpose for this trip, and it may be to go deep into the hinterland of the Liao army. For this reason, I am asking for my general to lead a small group of people to sneak into the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom to meet you."

After hearing this, Huo Zhan was startled, and said, "Master Liu is far away in the capital, and with only one battle report, you already guessed the official's intention?"

"Of course, at that time many officials said that you would be convicted for abandoning the city and fleeing. It was Liu Dali who defended you against all arguments."

Huo Zhan's heart warmed for a while. He had never met Liu Wei, but he suddenly had the feeling of meeting a confidant. He felt that Liu Wei was his benefactor. He was when he was selected as Enke Scholars, and he is now. .

If a person has a confidant in the ends of the earth, will he not feel lonely anymore?
Huo Zhan laughed loudly, and then said to Cao Jue: "Since you and my armies have merged, why don't we just level the grassland and wipe out the Liao people."

Cao Jue shook his head and said: "If the Liao people's species is really wiped out, with Yeluxian's temper, he will definitely lead an army of 10,000+ to fight with our Song people. Crazy enemies are not easy to deal with. We have to leave them alone. I hope that only in this way can they live in peace with our Great Song Dynasty in order to restore production and continue the clan. What's more, Yeluxian has already led his soldiers back and sent thousands of cavalry back first. It is absolutely unreasonable to encounter it, what we have to do at this time is to evacuate as soon as possible."

What Cao Jue said was reasonable, so that he, an Enke Jinshi, couldn't find words to refute it for a while, and this also made him a little surprised. He had heard about Cao Jue and knew that he was a fierce general. Thoughts, how can a person like him say it?
"Is this what Master Liu said?"

Cao Jue laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right, Mr. Huo is really a smart man, this is what Mr. Liu ordered in the future, but the news that Yeluxian's army has turned back was sent by the order of old general Shi Shouxin, At this time, we should leave rather than stay."

After listening to Cao Jue's words, Huo Zhan admired Liu Wei even more, and felt that he was planning a strategy to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, so he no longer hesitated, saying: "Everything is up to General Cao, we will evacuate as soon as possible."
-
The cold wind was heavy, and Ye Luxian had already led the army to the Liao Kingdom with peace of mind.

On the way, Yeluxian was full of worries.

"Sir, we returned without success after going here, and let our Liao people suffer such a disaster. I am really uneasy in my heart, and I have the urge to die and thank the world."

Li Yin's heart sank slightly. Although the Liao Kingdom eliminated many dissidents after Yeluxian came to power, there were many people who opposed Yeluxian. Will some of them take this opportunity to force Yeluxian to abdicate?
Li Yin is very clear that in any court there will always be intrigue and scrambling for power and profit. This is the case in the Song Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty, and even their Liao Kingdom.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"If you can't bring back food for our Liao people, I'm afraid the people of our Liao Kingdom will complain."

Li Yin lowered his eyebrows, he seemed to have understood what Ye Luxian meant.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate."

Ye Luxian glanced at Li Yin, and said: "Sir is a smart man, now he is stable for my Daliao, and for my emperor's throne, I'm afraid we can only do it as a last resort."

Li Yin looked at Ye Luxian, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He had always thought that Ye Luxian was a king who could be supported, but what he didn't expect was that at this moment, he also had a selfish side.

Of course, everyone is selfish, but the selfishness of kings is terrible.

"If the Holy Majesty insists on doing this, then we can only do it once, but after we do this, the relationship with Beihan may not be easy to handle."

Ye Luxian nodded: "Mr. is right. After doing this, the relationship between our Liao Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty is indeed difficult to handle, but it is not as difficult as you imagined. The Northern Han Dynasty is weak and dare not deal with us Liao people. How about it, and the Great Song has always wanted to destroy the Northern Han, and at that time, the Northern Han will still beg for mercy from us, right?"

"Since we share the same hatred with Zi, we can become friends, right?"

Ye Luxian looked at Li Yin, and after a long time showed a slight smile: "It is useless to think too much about many things. The key is to solve the immediate problem first."

Li Yin was silent, Ye Luxian's words were not without reason, what things in this world are not solved one after another?As long as their Daliao can survive, as long as they are stronger than the enemy, they will be able to deter the enemy and make the enemy suffer.

"Okay, since the Holy One has made up his mind, this subordinate will order to detour to the Northern Han Dynasty and return to the country after wantonly plundering."

The autumn wind is bleak, and the Northern Han Dynasty has been sending troops to harass the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

But at this time, Wei Tao, a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, suddenly received a battle report. The Liao people who had already returned to the north suddenly attacked their border of the Northern Han Dynasty, robbed them of a large amount of grain, cattle and sheep, and even killed many of their women in the Northern Han Dynasty. People took them captive.

Wei Tao was furious when he heard the battle report.

"Damn, really hateful, the Liao people turned out to be unfamiliar wolves. My Northern Han side worked tirelessly to help them. They couldn't beat the Song people, but they wanted to eat meat from our Northern Han's mouth. It's really unreasonable... ..."

Wei Tao cursed and said, "Can you report the news to General Liu Jiye?"

"Reported."

"What is the general's arrangement?"

"Ordering people to pursue the Liao people will never allow me to be humiliated like Northern Han."

Wei Tao frowned and pondered. He was very clear about the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty. Whether it was the Liao people or the Song people, the Northern Han Dynasty was not considered strong, but they were able to survive between the two big countries by relying on their ability Use the rudder.

The Song people wanted to destroy their Northern Han, so they turned to the Liao people, and the Liao people didn't want to lose the barrier of the Northern Han, and they never launched a big war against them, but this time the Liao people went too far.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao immediately ordered: "Call together the troops, and follow the general to support the general."

As soon as Wei Tao finished speaking, a guard immediately said, "General, should we wait for the order of the Holy One?"

Wei Tao's heart sank, and then he shook his head and said, "No need, wait for the order from the sage, and with the sage's temper, he would still let us send troops there, so this general wanted to kill the Liao people first and then play, to blow the prestige of the Liao people and let them know that we are Northern Han It's not easy to bully."

After saying this, Wei Tao didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered his men to pull out the camp, and chased in the direction where the Liao people fled.
