I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

"Eight hundred miles is urgent, eight hundred miles is urgent."

A group of knights looked solemn and rushed towards Bianjing City. In the past, they would give in and avoid the crowd as much as possible.

Now that Yanmen has fallen, it is different from the past. Whether it is a defeated army or a loss of territory, at least there is no problem with the basic foundation of the Song Dynasty.

The loss of Yanmen means that the whole of Shanxi will fall into the hands of the enemy. At this time, the entire northern border defense force of the Song Kingdom and the entire Northern Expedition. If Liu Sheng is ruthless and goes eastward directly, no one can stop him, and Kaifeng will be in danger.

Maybe the Song Dynasty was about to fall. Thinking of this, he used the riding whip in his hand a little harder, trying to make the horse run faster, faster, and faster.

He didn't go to the official road either. He traveled between Yanmen and Bianjing dozens of times and already knew which road was closest.

The person who sent the battle report this time was the same person who last time Liu Sheng captured Yunzhou and sent the victory report to the capital.

Therefore, he met with officials and received a reward, which made him brag for a long time.

But I never thought that in just a few months, because of the same person, the news and mood would be different.

Losing consciousness for a moment, the war horses rushed into the crowd, and the sound of wailing, crying, and scolding could be heard all of a sudden.

The knight had no choice but to turn around and shout, "Hurry up for eight hundred miles" and then rode away.

All that is left is the mess on the ground and the figures of the people helping each other.

I sighed in my heart and said sorry, the military situation is urgent.

.....

When Zhao Ji received the battle report, he thought it was Tong Guan who brought him good news, but he didn't know that it was Liu Sheng of Yingzhou who was causing trouble and actually captured Yanmen.

Above the main hall, he pointed angrily in the northwest direction and cursed: "Traitor, traitor, how dare you bully me."

No one in the court said anything, they all lowered their heads. Cai Jing even disappeared into the crowd, hoping that the emperor would not remember him. After all, it was he who gave Tong Guan all the military power in the northern part of the Song Dynasty.

Now that Liu Sheng is in rebellion, the huge Song Dynasty has no troops to send.

The ministers were silent and allowed Zhao Ji to vent his temper. They didn't know what to do at this time. Should they ask Tong Guan to return to the army to quell the rebellion? Or let Liu Sheng wreak havoc?

Zhao Ji shouted: "It's really useless to ask for help. I can't even fight without the Grand Master. The most powerful pass in the world was actually taken by Liu Sheng in an hour? He still has the nerve to ask for help? Why doesn't this thief die?" "

When the whole country was united to regain its homeland, Liu Sheng actually jumped out and hindered me. I don't think I valued him so much. "

Zhao Ji was so angry that he was incoherent, scolding whatever he thought of.

"Someone is here to find out for me the location of the nine Liu Sheng clans. I will dig up their graves, whip their corpses, and demote all their relatives into slaves."

.....

After a long time, Zhao Ji seemed to be tired, and regardless of the emperor's majesty, he sat on the steps and said calmly: "I want to fight in person and kill the traitor Liu Sheng with my own hands."

At this time, all the ministers looked at Cai Jing. The emperor wanted to personally conquer, what should he say.

At this time, Cai Jing also knew that it was time to speak by himself, and was thinking about how to remove himself.

I couldn't help but think of the Song Dynasty's usual method of recruiting peace.

First, stabilize Liu Sheng. There should be no chaos in Tong Guan. When Tong Guan comes back from the Northern Expedition, it won't be too late to deal with Liu Sheng.

He opened his mouth and said: "How can an official with a wealth of money go to the front line just because of a small rebel? Doesn't he lose his worth? Does it increase the prestige of the rebel?"

"In your opinion, what should Liu Sheng do?" Zhao Ji asked.

Cai Jing pretended to think for a while and said: "Now Zhe Keqiu and Zhongdao are still stationed in Taiyuan. Before Liu Sheng takes Taiyuan, he will definitely not go south or east easily.

The initiative now belongs to us. How about we see how Liu Sheng is willing to retreat?

When the Grand Master returned victoriously, how did he deal with Liu Sheng? What do the officials think? "

After Cai Jing finished speaking, many people fell into deep thought, but no one dared to speak. After all, the emperor wanted to regain his homeland. Even if Liu Sheng could fight, they were just rebels who occupied a few states.

It's only a matter of time before they are wiped out, it just doesn't look good on their face.

Only Cai You shouted loudly: "It's nonsense, how can a major military matter be a trivial matter?"

It is not yet known whether our homeland can be recovered, but now we, the Song Dynasty, are being asked to hand over our great rivers and mountains?

Cai Xiang wanted to trade space for time. Didn't he know that Liu Sheng didn't think so?

The battle report clearly stated that Liu Sheng attacked Yanmen for Yanjing and forced the Grand Master to return reinforcements. Besides asking the Grand Master to withdraw his troops, how else could we talk about it?

Besides, the rebels are rebels, so how can we negotiate for peace? If you want to talk, let Liu Sheng come to the capital to talk, otherwise there will be no need to talk.

Cai Jing's face lit up. He was so good at exchanging space for time. This word was so well used!

It's a pity that he wasn't the one who praised him, so he couldn't help but curse: "You traitor, you are not the disaster you left in the first place. Otherwise, how could the Song Dynasty be in the dilemma it is in now?"

Cai You looked startled but quickly recovered and said: "In the court, please do not talk privately.

Let me ask you, what should Liu Sheng do if he comes to Bianjing? "

Cai Jing's face was not very good and he said: "With the Taihang Mountains as a natural barrier, how could Liu Sheng possibly attack Kyoto? Besides, Taiyuan City is high and fortified. General Zhe did not miss Liu Sheng's way for a while. If he didn't capture Taiyuan, what would happen? Heading out east? Is Deacon Cai joking? Or did Deacon Cai know Liu Sheng’s plan before?"

It is rare in history for a father and son to quarrel in the court. Everyone did not answer and allowed the two to argue.

Cai You snorted, retreated to his desk, and said no more words.

Cai Jing had the upper hand and was very proud. He said to Zhao Ji: "The official family should send an envoy to see what Liu Sheng's conditions are. As long as they are not excessive, you might as well agree to him first and wait until the grand master comes back to make a decision."

Zhao Ji sat silently on the steps, still thinking.

Seeing this, Cai Jing hurriedly said: "Guan family, the Grand Master is recovering his homeland at the front. We can't mess up the Grand Master's position. If we retreat, how will the Jurchens explain it?"

And Zhao Ji still doesn't want to negotiate peace. He can negotiate peace with Xixia Khitan, he can negotiate peace with Jurchen, but he doesn't want to negotiate peace with Liu Sheng. That's a group of rebels who betrayed him. They all deserve to die. What if he negotiates peace with the rebels? What else is there about the majesty of the emperor?

Zhao Ji still didn't speak, but made his attitude clear. He did not agree with Cai Jing's plan.

At this time, Cai You saw Zhao Ji's thoughts and said: "The Grand Master has an army of 500,000, why not let Master Zhong Dao go back to Yanmen?"

"He has been operating here for several years, and the people know it. With the help of the people, he can get twice the result with half the effort."

Zhao Ji only relaxed his eyebrows at this time. Cai You could always speak to his heart at critical moments, but it was a pity that he was disobedient... He sighed and was about to agree.

Seeing the change in Zhao Ji's expression, Cai Jing hurriedly spoke in front of the emperor: "The officials, Liu Sheng didn't know the way of teaching from the beginning, so he was reluctant to do the Northern Expedition, and the officials issued the imperial edict, which was even more delayed. Lala, Yanmen is the most important pass in the world and extremely dangerous. If there is no internal response, it would be impossible to break through Yanmen in one hour."

"Although Cai You is a minister, I want to impeach Cai You and support the bandits to respect themselves. From the beginning, Liu Sheng has been upholding the principles of being a teacher and even vouching for him."
