I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Liu Sheng shook his head and waved his hands and said: "Yanjing is too far away. There are various passes along the way, and there are also Song troops besieging me. I may not be able to reach it, but has General Zhong ever heard of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao?"

I plan to attack Yanmen tomorrow and force Commander Zhong to return to Shanxi. What do you think of my plan? "

Zhongdao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "I'm afraid the king is joking. The Yanmen Pass is a high city and the city is strong. But if the king wants to capture Yanmen, it will definitely be possible, but I'm afraid it will take a long time. I don't know. Can Yanjing wait until the king comes to surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"

Liu Sheng hugged Zhongdao. As soon as he got close to Zhongdao, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. He originally thought it was Liu Shengyan who showed it to him.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the strong smell of alcohol made his throat wrinkle, and Liu Sheng became a little distracted.

"General Zhong has been stationed in Yanmen for a long time. Is there any loophole in Yanmen's defense, or can he cooperate with me inside and outside?"

Zhongdao smiled unnaturally and said: "Your Majesty drank too much. Not to mention that Yanmen has no loopholes. Even if I am the guard of Yanmen, how can I tell you how to break through Yanmen? Your Majesty, don't joke."

Liu Sheng sighed and let go.

"You are really unhappy. I only wanted to see the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

I told you that I am planning to attack Yanmen tomorrow, no, I will go after I wake up from a nap.

But you are unwilling to reveal 123. You disappoint me so much. What kind of brothers are these? "

Zhongdao smiled bitterly, the drunk Liu Sheng was really difficult to deal with.

Liu Sheng's expression changed and he said, "Since you don't want to say anything, then why did you come to Yingzhou?"

Zhongdao stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I, Yanmen, have released the people who detained Your Majesty according to Your Majesty's request.

But your Majesty has only released 1200 officials from the Song Dynasty who detained me. There are still 800 people who I don’t know when your Majesty will release them? So that they can return home. "

Liu Sheng shook his head, picked up the wine bowl and drank another bowl, as if he wanted to shake off the alcohol, but did not answer.

Lu Yan on the side said: "General Zhong, it's not that we don't want to release those people, it's that those people don't want to return to the Song Dynasty. They have now obtained an official position in Daliao, with the lowest being county magistrate.

The salary is not as good as yours in the Song Dynasty, but at least you still have an official status. "

Liu Sheng had already inquired about the identities of these people. These people were waiting for the official position. In layman's terms, they were candidates. The official positions were like carrots and holes. There were too many officials in the Song Dynasty and there were no holes. They could only stay in Beijing. Seek the recognition of powerful people, find connections, and manage money, hoping to get to the top as soon as possible.

And those who can be sent to this newly attached land basically belong to the dispensable group.

If it is a great achievement, if the whole army is wiped out, it will be a big burden for the Song Dynasty.

Some even started waiting many years ago and never became an official until their death.

Life is also very difficult, and Liu Sheng happens to lack management officials. As long as he is obedient and does not bring the Song Dynasty's tricks, Liu Sheng will appoint most of them, but it is not as exaggerated as Lu Yan said, and he will be the county magistrate.

They were all sent to the village. Starting from the village chief, only by experiencing the hardships at the lowest level would he not be tempted to issue strange orders when he reached a high position. As for Liu Sheng, who was unwilling, he did not force them and gave them all away. gone back.

Zhongdao nodded and didn't say anything. He just asked casually. Since they didn't want to come back, that was all.

Without looking at Liu Sheng, the Liu Sheng in front of him seemed different from what he imagined. He had not met Liu Sheng many times, and it was the first time he met Liu Sheng in private. Most of them were listening to the seed master's lectures.

Grandpa often talked about General Liu, but he didn't expect that in private, he was an alcoholic.

When the battle between the two armies was about to begin, he actually got drunk in the camp, and many of the sergeants were also drunk and were talking about each other, hugging each other.

Can such an army fight? If the enemy attacked at night, they would probably be wiped out. He felt that his grandfather had overestimated Liu Sheng.

Being able to reach such a high position is just luck.

After knowing that the 1,200 people did not want to return to the Song Dynasty, they didn't waste any time and stood up to say goodbye and left.

Liu Sheng was not embarrassed. After Zhongdao left, Lu Yan handed Liu Sheng a hot towel.

Liu Sheng applied it on his face, and after a while it seemed like he had sobered up.

"If I don't follow this path, I will die even if I drink water."

Lu Yan asked worriedly: "General, we have told Zhongdao all the plans like this. Will they be prepared tomorrow?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "If you walked into the enemy's camp and the commander and the sergeants were drunk and told you the battle plan, would you believe it? Or would you regard this army as the enemy? No matter he believes it or not, but I With everyone drinking like this, at least he thinks we will never attack Yanmen tomorrow."

Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "I might attack the camp."

"Damn it," Liu Sheng stared at Lu Yan, forgetting about this, and then shouted: "Go find General Liang quickly."

...

As soon as Zhongdao returned to Yanmen, Zhe Keqiu came up to him impatiently.

"Is there anything unusual about Liu Sheng?"

To be honest, what worries him most right now is Zhe Keqiu. He wants Liu Sheng to come, and just defeating Liu Sheng would be a meritorious service, but he doesn't want Liu Sheng to come.

Before Zhong Shidao left, he told Zhe Keqiu all about Liu Sheng's strange things and asked him to be more careful.

Zhe Keqiu still took the warning of cultivating teachers to heart, especially after learning about Liu Sheng's record.

Liu Sheng's Annan king was not conferred by the Khitans, but by seizing Yelu Yanxi.

In three months, he captured the four states and captured the Lord of Liao.

If it were an ordinary rebel, he wouldn't have any worries.

But that's Liu Sheng!

Now I don't know how many sergeants are under my command, and there is also a gunpowder that is more powerful than them.

If he couldn't guard Yanmen, he would be doomed, so he specifically asked Zhongdao to go and find out.

Zhongdao stayed in Liu Sheng's camp the whole time and saw only a little bit along the road. He pointed to the followers on both sides and said: "You should turn around to Liu Sheng's camp. You guys tell me."

The two said: "There are no less than ten thousand soldiers in Liu Sheng's camp. They camped in a mess. You can't even count how many people there are by looking at the tents."

Another person said: "Although I don't see how many people there are in Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng's military discipline is lax. Everyone in the entire camp is drinking, talking nonsense when drunk, and shouting that we will break through Yanmen tomorrow and steal the money." Grab food.”

Zhe Keqiu was shocked and said: "What? They are going to attack Yanmen tomorrow?"

He turned around and was about to leave, letting the sergeants tighten their defenses.

Another follower said: "This must be false news. How can any soldier know this kind of military secret and publicize it so loudly? General, if you make a sneak attack, will you explain to the sergeants in advance what we are going to do? Not yet." Keep it a secret? Let them brag about it after drinking, for fear that others will not know? "
