I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Liu Sheng kept tapping his fingers on the table. Yunzhong County relented at first, which seemed to have planted a big hidden danger for him.

If Lu Yan hadn't found out, Liu Sheng wouldn't have thought of this at all.

Wang Liao was in charge of all the money and food in Shuozhou. It can be said that the entire Shuozhou was unguarded against him and had almost no secrets.

If there is a problem with Wang Liao, all Liu Sheng's efforts may be ruined.

Liu Sheng praised without hesitation: "Well done. This is a great achievement.

But Wang Liao has not done anything to endanger our Shuozhou. Capturing him may cause panic. Watch Wang Liao's son. He only has one son now. As long as he can control it, he will not dare to move.

In addition, he ordered that no one be allowed to enter the major workshops without orders.

You send someone to Yunzhong to find out if Wang Liao is a local businessman. "

.....

After Lu Yan withdrew, Liu Sheng was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had kept an eye out and promoted Lu Yan.

Liu Sheng was sitting in his study, thinking about where he still had some shortcomings.

Thinking back on all the things that happened after the defeat in Yunzhou.

The dozen or so battalion commanders who were originally established were beheaded and dismissed from their posts.

The remaining few were also assigned other duties and did not lead the army.

The only generals commanding the army now are Wu Ze and Liang Shouyi. It is impossible for Wu Ze to betray him and Liang Shouyi will not have any problems.

The only variable was Qi Guanhan, the governor of Wuzhou who ran away when the Zhong family army attacked.

The governor of Shuozhou stayed and worked hard, but Liu Sheng couldn't understand whether he had any agenda.

It would be terrible to have this kind of unstable factor around, just like Wang Liao, if it was really Liu Sheng who buried his whole family alive in the clouds.

For a person who smiles all day long in front of this enemy, I can't imagine what he can do.

I didn't expect it before, but now I think about Wang Liao's actions and thoughts along the way, and I find that the problem is huge. At first, he said he was willing to spend 20 to save his son's life, but after following the army south, he seemed to have never mentioned it again. leave.

Liu Sheng also forgot about this incident. If Lu Yan hadn't mentioned it again, he wouldn't have remembered it.

Liu Sheng's heart suddenly sank.

At this time, Liang Shouyi suddenly ran in with a panic look on his face.

"The general is in trouble, the Khitans are attacking."

Liu Sheng looked at the sky outside. He didn't know when the snow had stopped, but it had been snowing continuously for more than a week. Although it stopped every now and then, it was still as deep as his shins.

There are people in the city who are constantly cleaning this. The snow outside the city is either high or low. Could it be that the Khitan invaded at this time, so they are out of their minds?

Not caring about anything else, Liu Sheng put on his armor, picked up his sword and asked as he walked: "Where do the Khitans come from?"

"It should be the Khitan infantry who stayed in Yingzhou City. Heavy snow blocked the road, and our army's scouts couldn't get out."

Liu Sheng didn't say much. It was difficult to travel at this time. As long as the Khitan people didn't besiege the city and realized it later, he could accept it.

"Assemble the whole army, let's go to Mayi, and this time we will defend the city." Liu Sheng ordered.

Although he looked down on the other infantrymen of this period, their training was definitely not as good as those selected by Liu Sheng, but there was another difference between those who had seen blood and those who had not. On the battlefield for the first time, Liu Sheng still wanted to be more stable. .

If you can save a few deaths, just a few will die.

By the time Liu Sheng arrived at the city gate, all the sergeants had gathered and everyone was in high spirits.

Liu Sheng made a brief inspection and then set off.

The further away from the city, the more powerful the heavy snow in the north can be felt. Every step requires a lot of energy. Liu Sheng hopes that the Khitan cavalry will follow him.

Mayi is not a state city, and it does not have high strategic value. Therefore, the city wall is not high, only six meters long, and is in disrepair for many years, giving it a rather dilapidated feel.

This made Liu Sheng a little worried. The city wall would not collapse under the attack of the Khitans!

Two hours after Liu Sheng led his army to arrive at Mayi City, he stood on the city wall and saw small black dots moving slowly.

The Khitan people's team was very scattered, and the vanguard of 1000 people forced them to walk out like 1 people.

From the time Liu Sheng spotted them to the time they approached, they walked for half an hour. Although it was difficult to march in heavy snow, it was not exaggerated. It seemed that the last gunpowder jar left indelible damage to the Khitan people, otherwise they would not be allowed to do so. They are so careful.

As the saying goes, once a person exceeds ten thousand, there is no limit.

The Khitan's 3-strong troops were spread out no less than the city of Mayi.

Liu Sheng stood on the tower and smiled. It was a pity that it was winter. If there was no heavy snow and such a loose team, if Liang Shouyi led the cavalry battalion to charge, they would definitely gain a lot, and maybe they could be defeated.

The Khitans did not rush to attack the city, but sent people to persuade them to surrender.

"People on the city, listen, our Liao Heavenly Army is here to wipe out the bandits. Open the door and surrender at this time. My general, please let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, if the army attacks the city and the city is broken, you will die."

If the visitor stands too far away, there are no good shooters in the city, otherwise the visitor will never come back.

After shouting and talking, he ran away, which seemed to be just a token gesture.

The Khitans did not attack the city, but instead set up camp three miles away from Mayi. Liu Sheng was not surprised by this.

Marching in this snowy day consumes a lot of energy.

But it also gave Liu Sheng a new idea. If the march was difficult, he would not be able to bring much food and grass.

"Liang Battalion Commander, you lead the cavalry to bring more gunpowder cans and plant them along the Khitan marching route to blow up the Khitan's baggage train.

How about the good terrain of Shuozhou? The Grand Canyon to the east of Mayi is an unavoidable place for anyone who wants to enter Shuozhou from the east. There is no need to look for the Khitan grain transport team, just guard it. ,

"General, if I take away the cavalry battalion, then there will only be four thousand defenders left in the city. How can we resist these [-] enemy troops?"

"nothing". Liu Sheng waved his hand and said: "There are still more than ten thousand civilians in this city. It is not a problem to hold on for a few days. I want you to guarantee that not a single grain of grain will be transported to the Khitan camp."

Liang Shouyi took the order and left. When the Khitans attacked Yingzhou, Liu Sheng did not go to watch the battle, but he also collected a lot of intelligence.

But Liu Sheng didn't see the Khitan trebuchet. Could it be that he was preparing to make it now?

Regardless of anything else, Liu Sheng assigned the civilian men he had summoned earlier to various city walls and gave heavy rewards. The civilian men who went up to the city wall to defend the city this time would receive a sum of money each after the war. Those who had made meritorious deeds would be beheaded, and other calculations would be made.

To assist in the defense of the city, each person receives [-] coins.

When the cartloads of copper coins were pulled out of the county government office and walked around the street, the whole city was boiling. Those who were not selected to be on the city wall were filled with regrets. Why didn't they take the initiative?
