I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

To the north of Yanmen Pass is Yingzhou. Who is under martial law? it goes without saying.

Before Lu Yan could find out the news, Yanmen couldn't sit still and sent someone to tell him that the angel had arrived at Yanmen and asked Liu Sheng to go and receive the order.

Liu Shengli ignored him and asked Lu Yan to report directly that he had found traces of Yelu Yanxi in Yunzhou and was pursuing him in Yunzhou, and was not in Yingzhou City at the moment.

Liu Sheng knew that both Song and Khitan had been on guard for a long time, and the spies from the two countries had almost penetrated both sides like a sieve.

Yelu Yanxi's abdication edict must be in Yelu Chun's hands at this moment.

At this moment, Yelu Chun has not yet ascended the throne, and has not yet announced it to the world. This kind of confidential information should be kept very secret.

Song State should not know that Yelu Yanxi is in his hands.

Even if he knew it, Liu Sheng was not afraid. As long as he didn't break his face, the rest of the problems would be left to Song Guo.

The two sides were constantly probing like this, and Zhongshidao had not been prepared for Liu Sheng at all before. Although there were spies stationed in Yingzhou, there were very few.

But it is obviously too late to send spies now.

Most of the spies were caught by the people and sent to the government after entering Yingzhou.

There was an atmosphere of tension between the two sides, but no one was completely at odds with each other.

Finally, on the tenth day, the Yanmen side could no longer sit still, and the team carrying the order directly waved the flag and entered Yingzhou.

There were more than a hundred large and small cars, but unfortunately they were all for people, and only a dozen were pulling things.

The number of people was beyond Liu Sheng's imagination. There were no less than two thousand civil and military officials.

There were many officials in the Song Dynasty, but the five states sent no less than 2000 civil and military officials.

Liu Sheng estimated that these were vanguard cannon fodder who were not reused in the Song Dynasty and were marginalized and suppressed. If they could settle down in these five states, the Song Dynasty would send more people later.

This is to take over the five states! Although he had already received the news, Liu Sheng couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene, "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it failed."

Liu Sheng still refused, he wanted to see what these angels could do.

The angel who delivered the message waited in Yingzhou for another five days, but Liu Sheng still did not show up.

Many officials from the Song Dynasty discussed together, "If Liu Sheng never shows up, why should I keep waiting? We have been here for so many days.

It was impossible for Liu Sheng not to receive the news. Since he chose to avoid it, there must be something wrong in his heart.

Regardless of whether he accepts the imperial edict or not, we must convey the official's wishes.

Tomorrow we will read out the imperial edict in front of the people of Yingzhou.

Regardless of whether Liu Sheng comes forward or not, we just need to express our opinions.

He never showed up, and we happened to take over the five states smoothly.

It also saved the official family a sum of money for the reward. What do you think? "

Everyone discussed for a while and felt that this method was feasible, at least they couldn't wait, and the officials were still waiting for their return!

They were waiting for Liu Sheng to show up before, but now they don't want Liu Sheng to show up.

Previously, Liu Sheng could shirk his pursuit of Yelu Yanxi in Yanmen, but now all the troops delivering the order have arrived in Yingzhou.

Liu Sheng should come out to meet them anyway, or someone should take them to Liu Sheng.

Otherwise, Liu Sheng would be contemptuous of today's emperor.

Leaving them in Yingzhou City, regardless of whether they are asked or not, there must be something wrong.

It was a good thing that Liu Sheng didn't show up. Taking advantage of Liu Sheng's absence, he directly took over all the military and political power in Yingzhou.

By the time he came back it was already too late.

As for Liu Sheng's rebellion? They don't have this concept in their mind. The rebellion relies on these five states?

Previously, he was afraid of pushing Liu Sheng to the Khitan, but now Liu Sheng has captured the Khitan Xijing, which is the capital of the Khitan. Liu Sheng can be said to be riding on the Khitan's face to export.

If they surrender to the Khitan at this time, they will definitely be liquidated afterwards. No unified regime can tolerate such a thing.

Moreover, everyone felt that the Khitan was already a thing of the past and could not survive the attack of the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty.

At this time, if you accept the imperial edict from the official family and return to Kaifeng honestly, you can still become a rich man. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Liu Sheng to die when the Khitan Kingdom is destroyed.

After everyone thought about it and came to all conclusions, Liu Sheng got some wind. He might be dissatisfied and didn't want to hand over military power, but he definitely didn't dare to rebel.

If Liu Sheng rebelled against Tong Guan, he would probably laugh to death. Taking Yan Yun back from the Khitans was the same as taking it back from the rebels, which would be enough for him to be crowned king.

They thought over and over and formulated a series of plans, and then retreated when they felt that there were no flaws.

Early the next morning, crowds of people rushed out of the inn, beating gongs and drums throughout Yingzhou City, and rushed to tell everyone.

"The emperor gives a reward to General Liu Sheng, the emperor gives a reward to General Liu Sheng... Everyone, go and watch the ceremony."

This caused the people to stop and watch, and the whole Yingzhou City was so noisy by them that the feeling of the New Year suddenly came back.

The whole Yingzhou City was very lively in the morning, and everyone was filled with happy smiles.

The angel who delivered the edict was very particular. After kneeling and kowtowing three times, a eunuch took out a brocade box and handed it respectfully to a civil servant. The civil servant first bowed to the box three times and then asked for the edict. .

Liu Sheng stood on a tall building in the distance, sneering. He was very good at building momentum and put on a lot of airs.

This time the imperial edict was more formal than the last one. It started with the message that it was destined to be carried by heaven. The emperor issued an edict saying, "Today's mighty general..."

This time the reward was announced for half an hour, and everyone in Liu Sheng's family was banned.

Noble titles are like the free wind, every one counts.

And Liu Sheng was not granted the title of marquis, but was granted the title of Duke An Ding.

Even Mi Xing and Xie An were granted the title of earl, and Wang Liao, Liang Shouyi, Wu Ze and others became marquis after Liu Sheng's defeat from Yunzhou.

Counting down, there were no less than twenty marquises, and countless viscounts.

Even Liu Sheng had never heard of many people's names. The Song State was fully prepared, and even mid-level officers were not spared.

Even the sergeants were each rewarded with a certain amount of money, but there was still no grain.

But to be honest, this reward is not low, it is even so high that it is scary.

Those who knew it were that Yunzhou was conquered, but those who didn't know thought it was the founding of the country and the enfeoffment of ministers.

Liu Sheng didn't know the title system of the Song Dynasty, but he also understood that those who were given corresponding titles would be given corresponding treatment.

The Song Kingdom obviously did not have the strength of such a great feudal official.

If it were sealed, Tong Guan would not need to go on the Northern Expedition, and even a few years of tax revenue would not be enough.

Therefore, Liu Sheng concluded that most of them who were rewarded would have to die.

And the money each sergeant receives is obviously bribery.

To be honest, copper coins have value only when they circulate. If you can't buy or sell anything, they are just a pile of copper, which you can't eat or drink.

Food is the real hard currency. People can be without money, but they cannot be without food.

It seemed that the sergeant was given a reward of money, but not a grain of food was transferred to Yingzhou.

This is to use a lot of money to win over people's hearts first, so that a large number of officers can be transferred and the army will not be turbulent.
