Chapter 2928

After Yeluhan's accident last time, in order to protect him, Yeluxiong specially asked the master Nanmu Taoist to protect him.

This Nanmu Taoist is not a Beiliao, but a Song native from the south.

He is a sword cultivator, and he is considered a first-class figure in Bei Liao.

Yeluhan had always disliked people from Song Dynasty, especially this person from Song Dynasty, who always relied on his elders to sell his elders, and dared to speak rudely in front of him.

He and Taoist Nanmu said disdainfully, "Why, do you think what this prince said is wrong?"

Nan Mudao said humanely, "I am from Song Dynasty, and I know Song people well. Although Song people have some civil strife now, once there is external interference, the internal strife will immediately subside and they will go all out to the outside world. The army of the North Liao can go south to plunder, but they have to occupy This place is not easy."

Yeluhan laughed and said, "The southerners are weak and good at infighting. When was it not given to us to fight for peace? This prince has occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun. Is there any southerner who has the ability to resist? Only the weak can I will look forward and backward, and miss the opportunity in vain. This prince not only wants to plunder this place, but also completely occupy it. If anyone dares to resist, this prince will let his head fall. Those who dare to resist are dead, and the rest are Ben. servant of the prince."

He looked at Taoist Nanmu sharply and warned, "You have to understand your identity, you are just sent by my father to protect me, and you have no right to ask about other things of this prince. If you dare to talk about other things, this prince will immediately put you You drive away, understand?"

"The words have been exhausted, and it is up to His Majesty the Prince whether to listen or not."

Taoist Nanmu hung his body and said no more.

Yeluhan snorted softly, and after Taoist Nanmu retreated, he immediately wrote a letter, explaining the situation here to his father Yeluxiong.

There are still two kinds of voices in Beilao Country.

One is only thinking about supporting oneself with war, using war to plunder, and forcing the Song people to pay back peace with supplies.

One is Yeluhan, who intends to completely take down the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and rule the Song people under the Beiliao Kingdom.

In this way, there will be more places to produce food in the North Liao Kingdom, and there will be no need to raise horses and graze on the grasslands and beg for a living as before.

Now the North Liao Kingdom also has the support of the Wu Clan. At critical times, there is no need to be afraid of the Taoist help of the Song people.

Song people have Taoism, they have Wu clan, they can fight.

On the door of Liang Zhongshu, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, he also received a letter from Gaotang Prefecture at this time.

Liang Zhongshu was the son-in-law of Cai Jing, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, and he was powerful behind his back. Although he tried his best to embezzle and collect money from his position in the Daming Mansion, no one could shake his position.

On the contrary, he gathered some powerful generals under his command, it seems that Yang Zhi and Suo Chao, who had defected to Song Gongming, used to work under his subordinates.

He sent someone to summon his generals Li Cheng, Wen Da, Zhou Jin, etc., and sat down in the lobby to discuss matters.

When they heard the news that Song Gongming had attacked Gaotang Prefecture, all the generals were surprised.

Li Cheng first shouted, "Bold bandits, with big ambitions. Just after occupying Qilu and Shandong, they came to attack our Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If we indulge, our Daming Mansion will definitely suffer from it in the future."

"That's true. Once the thieves take Gaotang Prefecture, the door of our Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will be wide open!"

"If Yanyun is taken down, half of the Great Song Dynasty will belong to the thieves."

"We must not sit idly by."

The other generals all agreed.

Liang Zhongshu sipped tea and asked them, "It's the time of winter famine, and the Beilao Kingdom is about to move. If we send an army to the south, how likely are you to stop the Beilao Kingdom's army from going south to plunder?"

"this?"

A group of generals looked at each other in blank dismay, scratching their heads at a loss.

A staff member suggested, "Can we take the initiative to contact the envoys of the North Liao Kingdom and send them some property so that they can settle down this winter. After the thieves are wiped out, we can go back and deal with them."

General Zhou Jin objected, "Bei Liao's thieves are afraid of prestige but not virtue. Our Great Song Kingdom has been helping them every year, opening border gates, engaging in trade, and how much gold and silver have been sent to them? But how did they end up? Not only do they not have any gratitude, but they have repeatedly violated the border of our Great Song Dynasty, and their strength is stronger than before. Counting on them is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."

"You're right, these guys won't abide by the agreement at all!"

The other generals who had dealt with the Beiliao Kingdom all agreed with Zhou Jin's statement.

Liang Zhongshu rubbed his brows and said, "This is very difficult. On the one hand, we have to beware of the North Liao Kingdom, and on the other hand, we want to destroy Song Gongming. What should we do!"

He didn't want to send troops in his heart, not to mention spending money, and it would easily cause turmoil in Daming Mansion.

However, the imperial court had a decree, and he had to follow it.

What he meant was obvious, he wanted these generals to join the court to make a statement about the current situation in Beiguan.

As for the life and death of Gaotangzhou, he couldn't care less.

Anyway, according to Song Gongming's strength, he will not be able to beat the Daming Mansion for a while.

He will stay in this position for a few more years, and then he will be transferred back to the capital and leave this mess to others.

Either way, he'll be fine.

If it is to aid Gaotang Prefecture now, there will be too many variables.

Someone just didn't understand his intentions, and suggested to him, "Master Zhifu, in fact, we still have a soldier in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. But with the imperial court's permission, this soldier can be pulled up immediately."

"Oh?"

Liang Zhongshu raised his eyebrows and said, "What soldiers and horses?"

The general said, "Your Excellency, you should know that the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were originally brought down by the ancestors of the Duke of Yan with one hundred thousand Yanyun black cavalry. Before this dynasty, the Duke of Yan has been guarding this place. Later, His Majesty felt that Yan Guogong’s tail was too big to lose, so he abolished this army. If the prefect asks the court to allow Yan Guogong to raise this army again, it is guaranteed that the current predicament can be solved.”

A general said, "That's right. Although the Duke of Yan doesn't have a single soldier in his hands right now, the prestige of his ancestors is still there. Once he raises his arms and shouts, heroes from all walks of life will surely respond. The key is that the Duke of Yan has a wealth of property, and his family He has a lot of money and food, and he is one of the best rich men in the Daming Mansion. If he makes a move, it is guaranteed that he wants people and money."

Liang Zhongshu's face darkened when he heard this, and he scolded them, "You bastard, why did His Majesty abolish the Yanyun Black Cavalry in the first place? Don't you know? How dare you have such an idea now, because you dislike my life. Is it long?"

"The last will not dare!"

A group of generals stood up and apologized, their faces flushed to the neck.

Liang Zhongshu scolded, "Even if I, Liang, died of starvation, thirst, or was killed by swordsmen, I would not ask this Duke of Yan for help. Please remember this. If anyone dares to have such a plan , don't blame the government for turning its face and denying people."

The generals promised again and again, but Liang Zhongshu did not expect that Liang Zhongshu would be so wary of Yan Guogong.

A wise person would understand that in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Duke Yan's prestige was too great.

This place has already been occupied by the North Liao Kingdom, and Yanjing was established as the capital.

Later, Yan Guogong's ancestors led people all the way to recover the lost land, and changed Yanjing to the Daming Mansion, which made Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Song people in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are all grateful to Duke Yan.

If the military power is given to Lord Yan, then the land of Yanyun will be completely devoid of the imperial court.

Liang Zhongshu is here, but he can't do whatever he wants.
