I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

"The top priority is to redeem General Xiao's body and not let the Song army humiliate him, otherwise..."

Before Geng Shouzhong finished speaking, Zhang Jue already understood that if the news was passed back, regardless of how the emperor treated him, the Xiao family would not let him go.

Zhang Jue looked ashen and waved his hand, signaling Geng Shouzhong to do this. He wanted to say something but waved his hand feebly.

Geng Shouzhong found a local general and didn't know what to say, so he said: "Go out of the city and bring Xiao Xianfeng's body back. Don't let the Song army ask for a price."

The general was ordered to ride out of the city alone.

Liu Sheng looked at the side-opening city gate and said, "What are the Liao people doing?"

Wu Ze said worriedly: "Brother Sheng, let's go! I feel uncomfortable staying here. People from Liao don't dare to leave the city, so let's go back!"

Liu Sheng looked back and said, "If we spend more time here, they can always pick up more. That will be our future position."

"Let's first see what the Liao people want to do?"

I saw the general who was leaving the city carrying a flag, indicating that he was an envoy.

"General Daliao has met all of you. I wonder which one of you is the talker?"

The visitor was very cautious and stopped within the shooting range of the archers at the top of the city and shouted loudly.

Liu Sheng was not afraid. He rode his horse forward and said, "I am temporarily the commander-in-chief of this army. I wonder why you are here?"

It's not that Liu Sheng is not afraid of death. The Khitan people have always been arrogant and look down on the Song army. If they can send envoys here, they will definitely not do anything small. What's more, there are more than a dozen cavalry accompanying them, so they are not afraid of the explosion.

"The Liao and Song Dynasties are countries of brothers. It is normal to have some conflicts and fights." Then he pointed at the piled up Jingguan and said: "Your Excellency, by doing this, you will lose the kindness of the Song Emperor. If you are submitting your credentials, ..”

Liu Sheng almost laughed out loud, but he still said seriously: "It makes sense. According to the general, how can we remedy it?"

General Pian was ecstatic in his heart. This Song general was really easy to fool. He was frightened just by mentioning the name of Emperor Song. He looked down on him and felt sad for the Song army.

"The war can be won or lost. I just hope that the general will show his noble hand next time. I will take these heads away. Of course, I will not make it difficult for the general. I will reward each of the Song Army officers and soldiers who come this time with ten guans of gold from Xijing City. I expect the reward will be no less than that of Emperor Song."

Ten thousand dollars? Liu Sheng laughed out loud and said: "Okay, just follow what brother said, ten guan for each head. Brother, go and get it! I'll be waiting here."

"What I mean is that every officer and soldier of the Song Army who comes here should be given ten guan of money." The general defended.

Liu Sheng didn't listen and said to Wu Ze and others: "Now it's going to be paid out. One person's head will cost ten guan, and four thousand heads will equal 40 guan. His grandma has never seen so much money in her life."

After hearing this, the general almost fell off his horse in anger. Four thousand people have ten heads. How did you calculate 40?

He hurriedly shouted: "Wrong, wrong, there is no 40 guan, it's [-] guan."

Liu Sheng said seriously: "Is it wrong? Forty thousand is forty thousand, brother, go and get it! We are waiting here."

Looking at the few people riding away, the general realized that he had been fooled. His face was full of bitterness. When he came, the general also said not to let the Song Dynasty people ask for prices.

He had no choice but to return to the city. After hearing this, Geng Shouzhong did not blame him. It had nothing to do with him how much the Song army wanted. It was impossible for the treasury to come out of the money. At least to the court, a young general with no great achievements was not worth four. Wan Guan is not the crown prince.

Zhang Jue would not let anyone else pay for this money. He only hoped that the Xiao family would remember his love and not suppress him to death.

When Zhang Jue found out that Song Jun wanted [-] guan, he didn't say much. He just asked people to trade as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.

Soon, Zhanjiang pulled several large carts out of the city and handed them to Liu Sheng, saying: "Forty thousand guan, your Excellency, count them."

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "No, no, no." He ordered someone to take the money away.

The partial general took people to collect the heads. Liu Sheng said with a smile: "This is the first time I went to the battlefield and I didn't know the rules. I won't do it next time."

The general looked unkind, looking at the heads in front of him that were mostly burnt to black ashes, feeling extremely sad in his heart. These were all his robes, and some of his facial features could not be seen clearly. He didn't know what kind of suffering he had suffered in front of him.

The general pointed at the flag hanging on Xiaohe and said: "General, you can put him down."

Liu Sheng looked back at the flute hanging on the flag and said with a smile: "He! Our general said that it is not for sale, keep it to go back and ask for credit from the emperor!"

The general's eyes suddenly turned red. He had been tricked before, and now he was being tricked again. If it wasn't for that person, how could the left-behind master pay [-] yuan?

If he couldn't take it back, he didn't have to go back. He said he would fight Liu Sheng if he put down his head.

Liu Sheng drew his sword and sat on his horse and said coldly: "I hope the general will not make a mistake."

Holding a knife in one hand and leaning on the horse's back, he said: "We just agreed that one head will cost ten guan of gold, which is four thousand. Do you think there is one missing? The one with the body is of course the price will be calculated separately. How about I Go and chop off his head now? But it can’t be calculated based on ten guan. This one is worth [-] guan, so take the body with you!"

Liu Sheng touched his chin and looked embarrassed.

"What do you want?" Pian Jiang said coldly.

"What do you want?" Liu Sheng smiled.

"Of course I want the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun!" Liu Sheng, the general who was about to fall out, quickly changed his words and said, "You won't give me any, so at a discount, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, and Huanzhou will belong to me, the Song Dynasty."

The general refused: "This is impossible."

Liu Sheng smiled and said: "These three states are already under my control, the Song Dynasty. It doesn't mean much whether you agree or not. You can go back! Let's talk to someone with weight. You can't."

Knowing that he could not get around Liu Sheng, the general returned to the city with his mounted head.

Zhang Jue was anxious on the top of the city. He had brought all the heads back, but Xiao He's body was left behind. He went straight to the city without waiting for the general to come up and report.

"What's going on? Why didn't Xiao He's body come back?" Zhang Jue said angrily.

The general lowered his head and said: "General, the Song people are cunning and we were fooled. He said that General Xiao's body is not of the same price, and he wants you to negotiate in person."

Geng Shouzhong scolded: "Song is a country of etiquette. How can the agreed terms be changed at a moment's notice? How can this person be so shameless?"

The general still lowered his head and said nothing. He felt that General Song was right. Ten pieces of money would equal a head, and four thousand would not be too much, but not too much.

But he couldn't say it, otherwise it would be his fault.

Geng Shouzhong said: "The Song army must be deceitful, and you must not go there."

Zhang Jue glanced at Geng Shouzhong, said nothing, pointed at the general and said, "Follow me out of the city."

Zhang Jue looked at Liu Sheng with an unkind expression and said, "If you insist on leaving the city, you might as well say so directly."

Liu Sheng was stunned, then glanced at the general behind him without saying anything, and said bluntly: "20 yuan."

As soon as these words came out, not only the general following Zhang Jue took a breath, but even the people around Liu Sheng looked at Liu Sheng in disbelief.

Zhang Jue sneered: "A corpse, do you think I'm a fool? Will I spend 20?"

Liu Sheng still smiled and pointed at the flute hanging on the flagpole and said: "What do you mean! Is that valuable? I originally planned to throw it away, I mean your life."

As Liu Sheng waved his hand, more than a thousand cavalry gathered, holding crossbows and aiming at Liu Sheng and others.

Zhang Jue pointed at Liu Sheng and was speechless. The two armies were fighting and had not killed the envoys. Liu Sheng had better cover himself in it.
