I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

"It's just..." Wang Fu got stuck mid-sentence.

Cai Jing shouted and asked: "It's just what, why don't you tell me quickly?"

Wang Fu sighed and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "It's just that kind of family that has been running in the northwest for several generations, and that kind of teaching. Liu Sheng said a lot of good things before the year, and it was a guarantee. Liu Sheng wouldn't On the contrary, if it weren’t for the baggage left by Cai Xiangke to Liu Sheng, what might Liu Sheng have grown into now?”

Cai You really laughed. So Cai Jing still has some merit? If it hadn't been for Cai Jing's detention, would Liu Sheng's baggage matter have developed to this day?

But that was his father, and he didn't dare to speak.

As long as the Forbidden Army was not involved, Cai You decided not to speak.

Wang Fu's words can be described as heartbreaking. Regardless of whether Zhao Ji had thought this way before, but with Liu Sheng in front of him, Zhao Ji would definitely think so.

If Zhong Shidao and Liu Sheng join forces to fight against each other, things will get serious.

Zhao Ji's brain suddenly shut down and he was very irritable. He didn't know whether the way of cultivating teachers would be counterproductive.

Just like he didn't know if Liu Sheng would rebel. After all, the previous news was that Liu Sheng was loyal to the emperor and patriotic. When the New Year came, he even captured Yingzhou for him to celebrate the New Year.

Before they rebelled, they were all loyal ministers and good generals, so nothing could be seen.

Moreover, Zhong Shidao even vowed to go to Kaifeng to be Liu Sheng's guarantor.

Therefore, Zhongshi Dao and Liu Sheng were a little unclear and could not stay in Yanmen.

Zhao Ji thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and his confidence in the cultivation of teachers was still shaken.

"Who can garrison Yanmen?"

Tong Guan stepped forward and said: "Guanjia, last time we suppressed Fangla's rebellion, the Western Army's Zhejia Army suffered a lot of losses. The Zhejia Army and Zhe Keqiu can be left to rest in Yanmen. In addition, I have heard that Zhongzhong Shidao has a grandson. Er Huanzhong has a profound knowledge of the old general and is quite handsome. There are two people stationed at Yanmen, so Liu Sheng will not dare to attack."

Zhao Ji seemed to have been distracted by Liu Sheng's rebellion. After discussing the date of the expedition, he dismissed the court meeting.

......

Zhong Shidao, who was far away in Yanmen, looked at the official letter sent by the court with a sad look on his face.

He was very puzzled and said to himself: "What's going on with Mr. Cai? I've told him everything about Liu Sheng, why did he say nothing in the court?"

With an army of 10 marching north to Youzhou, can't we allocate to defeat Liu Sheng first? Do we have to wait until he becomes bigger and stronger to crusade? "

Zhongdao didn't know why his grandfather valued Liu Sheng so much, so he said: "Grandpa, Liu Sheng does have some abilities. He can occupy the land of four states with more than 10,000 remnants. But no matter how great his ability is, he only has more than 10,000. With military strength and no supplies of food and grass, what kind of trouble can it cause? It will be a matter of time before he is trapped in the five states. Do you think too highly of him? "

Zhongdao was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, they were all of the same age, but Liu Sheng had better luck than him. He also led the remnant army to defend Yingzhou and waited for reinforcements to come, but his grandfather did not say a word about it. , how is he worse than Liu Sheng?

Hearing Zhong Dao's dissatisfaction, Zhong Shidao sighed and shook his head: "Don't be dissatisfied. Do you think it's luck? Luck can kill the Pishi Army in a certain death situation, can it occupy Shuozhou quietly? Can it capture Yelu? Yanxi forced him to abdicate to stabilize the situation in Khitan?

If all this is luck, then this luck is also a type of Liu Sheng's strength.

Who told you that he only has 3 people? During the heavy snowfall two years ago, Liu Sheng took in at least refugees. These refugees were all young and strong, and they were good soldiers. When Liu Sheng went north to conquer Yunzhou, he already had an army of people. How many people did he have? No one knows how much I have hidden. "

Zhongdao was a little surprised. He looked at Master Zhong hesitantly and said, "Since you know, why don't you report it to the court? Liu Sheng has more than 10,000 remnant troops."

Zhong Shidao sighed again: "I told the court, but the court has to believe it!

The only way to downplay the situation here is to let the court know whether it is a big problem, send a large army to fight Liu Sheng, and lose.

Only then will Liu Sheng be taken seriously. Who can believe those courtiers just by talking? Who can believe it? But now it seems to be self-defeating.

Moreover, Liu Sheng's gunpowder is obviously more powerful than our Song Dynasty gunpowder, and we have not developed it yet.

If Liu Sheng is allowed to develop for a few more years, it will be more difficult than the Khitan and Jurchen. "

Zhong Shidao looked at the melting snow outside and sighed again.

......

When the news came back to Yanmen, Liu Sheng also received the news through his unique channel. After all, this was the mobilization of an army of 500,000 people. It was not a small matter. It was almost impossible to conceal the past.

Lu Yan ran to Liu Sheng in a panic and said: "General, if the family army wants to follow Tong Guanbei to Youzhou, then let's first collect information about the generals guarding Yanmen Pass. It's useless.

The Song Dynasty's 500,000-strong army marched northward. Liu Sheng felt that he must be able to divide 300,000 to 50,000 troops, but he never expected that there would be none.

Liu Sheng was ready for a battle with the Song Dynasty.

But he didn't expect that his preparations would be useless.

What surprised Liu Sheng was that the Song Dynasty's 500,000 troops marched all over Youzhou. Aren't they worried about him? Or did you fool them by saying you just wanted to farm?

Little did they know that it was Tong Guan's selfishness that caused them to avoid a war.

Liu Sheng was frightened just thinking about it, an army of half a million people! If an army of 500,000 people comes to Yingzhou, can he stop it?

At first glance, Liu Sheng's scalp felt numb, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Sheng felt that if someone came with a price of thirty to fifty thousand, it might be very difficult and he might lose.

But for two to three hundred thousand, Liu Sheng felt that he could have a tie, but for half a million, Liu Sheng felt that he was safe.

A person's command and brain power are limited. The more the better, there is only one Han Xin in history.

Even Xiang Yu, who defeated Han Xin several times, always played the route of elite soldiers. Where did Tong Guan get the courage to lead an army of 500,000?

With more people, there will be more problems exposed. There are only 30,000 to 20,000 elites in the army of 500,000. As long as we bypass these 30,000 to 20,000 elites and pursue and attack the weak points of the army of 500,000, then It must be another rout.

People have feelings, not robots. As long as someone feels scared and turns away and runs away, there will always be blind people following him.

Therefore, the ancients often said that the number of soldiers is not as good as the number of soldiers. This is the principle, because the more people there are, the more shortcomings will be exposed, and the more opportunities for the enemy to find.

When the two armies are fighting, the battle is to see which commander can be more calm and expose fewer problems. Not to mention the logistics of an army of 50, as long as the Khitans can hold back the Song army in Yan. Under the capital, they will collapse within two months.

If it were Liu Sheng, he would definitely hold back this 50-strong army.

If you don't fight decisively with them, let them consume the confidence of the sergeants and the national power of Song Dynasty.
