I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Then Zhongshidao wrote another letter, saying that the Khitans were coming and Liu Sheng might have to withdraw to Shuozhou.

At this point, Liu Sheng's reward was put on hold. However, Liu Sheng exceeded everyone's expectations and actually went north to conquer Yunzhou under the attack of the Khitans.

At this time, Liu Sheng's achievements were also spread, and everyone in the hall was discussing in low voices. This was probably another champion-like figure who had such achievements at such a young age.

The hall is so big. Although everyone is discussing in a low voice, everyone can hear the sound.

Seeing the hesitant Zhao Ji, Tong Guan became anxious. He knew the temperament of the official family and his yearning for civil and martial arts. The failure of the Northern Expedition was a big blow to Zhao Ji.

And Liu Sheng gave him hope of regaining Yanyun, and he was afraid that Zhao Ji would be Wang Zha if he opened his mouth.

If Liu Sheng is promised to capture Yanyun, he will be crowned king.

Then Tong Guan's chance of being crowned king is gone. He can be given some money, some food, and the title can be left to him. However, no information about the king can be revealed.

Who can resist the temptation of becoming a king? Tong Guan has no doubt that as long as Zhao Ji opens his mouth, Liu Sheng will definitely go east and conquer Youzhou.

With the Khitan people's current fighting strength, they definitely cannot stop them.

Just when Tong Guan was restless and didn't know how to speak, he couldn't help but stare at his political ally Cai Jing, hoping that Cai Jing would have any good ideas.

At this time, Cai Jing gave Tong Guan a firm look and took a step forward: "Guan family, does Liu Sheng's northern expedition to Yunzhou get the official order?

Zhao Ji shook his head in confusion and said: "No."

Cai Jing said: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have always used civility to control military force. Wherever the army is, there must be supervisors. Liu Sheng first refused the official reward and raised the flag to rebel. Then he captured the imperial army and surrendered. Wang Fu As Liu Sheng's supervisor, your Excellency was beaten and driven back to the capital by Liu Sheng. It was a capital crime to ignore the officials and the court in this way.

This Liu Sheng may have some talent. He became famous at a young age. If he is given too many rewards, he will be arrogant and difficult to discipline in the future. Moreover, he holds the land of four states and has never been in contact with the court. I don't know what his intentions are?

The officials were generous and did not seek trouble for him. Now they secretly mobilized troops to attack Yunzhou. However, the merits and demerits were equal to each other. "

"However, the officials are generous, so why not give it to a marquis, give it a beating, take it back to the five states, and let them know that the power of God cannot be offended."

Tong Guan couldn't help but give Cai Jing a thumbs up.

Zhao Ji was a little moved while sitting on the dragon chair. He once said that the one who captured Yanyun would be conferred a royal title by Emperor Shenzong.

He said this to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but in fact he said it to Tong Guan alone.

Everyone knows that Tong Guan is in charge of all the military affairs of the Song Dynasty, and he is also the most capable fighter in this dynasty.

The only person who is most likely to regain Yan Yun is Tong Guan. This is a person who knows everything about him and has been following him. Whether emotionally or intellectually, he does not want to give this prince to anyone else.

The most important thing is that Tong Guan is an eunuch and cannot have any descendants. He will only be famous for his life if he is given to Wang Jue. After his death, he will be able to do everything. Zhao Ji can still have a good reputation of knowing people and making good use of them, regardless of his family background.

The ancestral teachings say that people with different surnames cannot be crowned kings, but Liu Sheng, an officer who didn't know his background, suddenly appeared.

He is somewhat disobedient to discipline. If he is given the title of king and has a large number of troops at his disposal, he may face endless troubles.

According to the report of the eunuch who went to deliver the message, Liu Sheng was a man of great talent, involved in both civil and martial arts, and was deeply loved by the people.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but think about it. As a general, he only needs to fight. What do you mean by developing people's livelihood?

But the contribution to regaining Yunzhou was too great, and not being rewarded would chill the hearts of the people in the world.

He was rewarded with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but he was a little reluctant to part with it.

The measure proposed by Cai Jing was exactly what he wanted. After giving it to a marquis, he would bring the five states under his command back to the center. Not only would he save a lot of rewards, but he would also be able to recover a powerful general.

He couldn't help but be filled with joy, but he also pretended to be wrong: "You are right, but Liu Sheng is not close to the imperial court. If he is not satisfied with this reward, what should he do if he raises the flag of rebellion?"

As a monarch and minister who have been together for many years, Cai Jing was so happy that he once again reached the heart of the official family.

He smiled and said: "Don't disturb the officials. A group of remnant defeated generals used the power of gunpowder to attack the city. Our Song Dynasty is not like the Khitan's sunset. Under the leadership of the officials, our Song Dynasty is flourishing. A group of remnants Even the defeated bandits can conquer the four states. If our Song Dynasty Heavenly Army makes an expedition to the north, won't the Khitan people have to kneel down and beg for mercy?"

"Now that the grand master has returned from pacifying Jiangnan, if Liu Sheng dares to rebel, he will be destroyed by greed."

Zhao Ji nodded and acknowledged Cai You's words. Only an old guy like Zhong Shidao would value this group of defeated soldiers so much.

At this time, Tong Guan also spoke: "The mighty general, who exhausted his troops and conquered the four states with more than ten thousand remaining soldiers, is a role model for our generation of soldiers. However, the emperor's kindness is so great, why don't the officials call them to come to the capital to recuperate? I am waiting for the Northern Expedition next year to contribute to the official family.

Tong Guan was really scared. In just a few months, Liu Sheng and others had successively attacked the four states.

If we wait until spring returns to the earth and the imperial court goes on the Northern Expedition, Liu Sheng and his group may be able to penetrate the entire Khitan. What will he do in the Northern Expedition then?

Only by calling them back, watching them under your nose, and letting them be quiet can you feel relieved.

This group of people are so good at fighting. If it is a difficult bone for the Khitan to crack, let them take the lead and dare to share the merits of Tong Guan and regaining Yan Yun. They are damned.

I don't know if the officials will honor the king as promised after regaining Youzhou. I feel a little anxious and can't help scolding Liu Sheng. The remaining defeated army can just retreat well. There are so many things to do.

So far, no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty said anything, not thinking that the emperor's reward was too ungrateful.

No one mentioned that the one who regained Yanyun would be crowned king. No one was unhappy at this juncture.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discussed for a while and felt that it was not that Liu Sheng was too powerful, but that Liu Sheng was selected at the right time.

The Jurchens were such a powerful ally that they were able to contain most of the Khitan troops, allowing Liu Sheng, a remnant of the defeated army, to attack the city and seize territory in the four states. Liu Sheng only felt that he was lucky.

No one thought that Tong Guan's Northern Expedition would fail. Tong Guan was recognized as the most capable fighter in the dynasty.

As long as the Jurchens still contain the Khitan army, there is no difference between Tong Guan going north and taking over the city.

The previous Northern Expedition failed, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still a little uneasy and fearful of the Khitan's revenge. However, Liu Sheng used a remnant army of more than [-] people to regain the land of the four states.

This also proves that the Khitan is really in decline. It is a paper tiger. It appears to be bluffing, but in fact it is just yesterday's flowers that are nothing to be afraid of.

Geng Yanxi was pulled out and scolded by the crowd again. He was a useless person, and 10 people were not as good as Liu Sheng's remnant army.

After some deliberations between the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it was impossible to withdraw the troops.

Let Liu Sheng's men stay in Yunzhou to contain some Khitan people and provide support for Tong Guan's northern expedition to Youzhou.
