I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Liu Sheng gave each Khitan prisoner 200 coins, plus five kilograms of corn.

This was enough for them to return to their tribe, but not a single war horse.

Liang Shouyi couldn't help feeling anxious as he looked at the endless stream of people coming up to collect money.

Lying in Liu Sheng's ear, he said: "General, Mi Xing doesn't seem to have told Soraka whether we should keep them by force."

Liu Sheng smiled at this, but did not agree with Liang Shouyi's idea and said: "Sometimes, war is not the best choice. Appropriate kindness will cause the enemy to disintegrate their fighting spirit from within."

Of more than 4000 prisoners, only 400 were left in the end. It was not because Liu Sheng was moved, but because there was no place to go, and the treatment of Shuozhou Army was not bad.

Liu Sheng didn't say anything about this, but Liang Shouyi trained well and said to the sergeant who was going home: "We will meet again soon. I hope you can make the right choice next time."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and had no idea what Liu Sheng was talking about.

On the other side, the team sent by Liu Sheng to spread the news arrived at Yanmen.

When I first arrived at Yanmen, I saw [-] sergeants ready to go, listening to the instructions of Zhongshidao.

After Zhong Shidao returned from Mayi, he decided to help Liu Sheng capture Yingzhou.

In his opinion, various arguments are more convincing than directly conquering the Khitan land. However, with Shuozhou's military strength, if he wants to conquer Yingzhou, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. He is also a Song army, and he is not willing to Liu Sheng's new army. The new commander in the army was defeated in one battle.

To this end, he brought a total of 2 people, siege ladders, siege awls, and a series of equipment required for siege.

As long as the rangers detect that Shuozhou has raised troops, he can go as quickly as possible.

At this moment, a guard reported: "General, there is an envoy coming from Yingzhou City."

Zhong Shidao was a little stunned. Why would Yingzhou send an envoy at this time? Could it be that he wanted to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty? Then you shouldn't come to Yanmen, you should go to the court.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhong Shidao invited Wang Fu to meet with the envoy from Yingzhou.

As soon as the two sides met, Zhong Shidao recognized Hue and said, "You are Mi Xing, the bodyguard of General Xiao Liu? How did you come from Yingzhou? Could it be that the attack on the city is not going well? Are you asking for help?"

Mi Xing smiled and said: "Old General, we have captured Yingzhou, and our general specially asked me to come to announce the good news!"

"What"? Zhong Shidao looked disbelieving, then laughed and said: "Okay, okay, General Liu is worthy of being a good son of the Song Dynasty. I originally wanted to rush to help, but it seems that I underestimated him."

Mi Xing and Zhong Shidao talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Wang Fu on the side said angrily: "As soon as the blizzard stopped, Liu Sheng captured Yingzhou? Could it be that General Liu can't fly? Or has he reached some kind of agreement with the Khitans?"

Zhong Shidao also realized the problem and said seriously: "I know that General Liu is very eager to achieve success and wants to win Yingzhou for the official family, but he should never falsely pass on military reports."

Zhong Shidao also remembered that if Liu Sheng sent people to attack Yingzhou, he would send out a patrol, and there should be a battle report.

The blizzard had just stopped. Even with all Liu Sheng's cavalry, it was impossible to reach Yingzhou so quickly, let alone capture Yingzhou.

Mi Xing was dumbfounded. He clearly captured Yingzhou, but he was not believed.

He had to explain: "The general just left six days ago, so we set off on the back foot, and walked in the heavy snow for three days before we reached Yingzhou.

The blizzard was so charming that the Khitans did not expect that our army would attack the city in such extreme weather. They were caught off guard by our army and surrendered. We took shelter from the wind and snow in Yingzhou and did not come until the snow stopped today. "

Zhongshi Taoist is an experienced man. Seeing Mi Xing's attitude and expression when he spoke, it didn't look like he was lying. He smiled sheepishly and said: "Last time, General Xiao Liu said that he would capture Yingzhou and give it to the officials as a New Year's gift. I He also wanted to divide his troops and go north to help the general.

The officials also agreed to this operation, but they never thought that General Xiao Liu had already captured Yingzhou. It was me who underestimated General Xiao Liu. "

Wang Fu on the side looked at Master Zhong and said, "It's impossible. The general didn't feel the heavy snowfall a few days ago. Not to mention marching, he couldn't see anything clearly beyond a battle. How did Liu Sheng march?"

Mi Xing said with some displeasure: "What the Song Army can't do doesn't mean that our Shuozhou Army can't do it."

Wang Fu caught Mi Xing's words and said: "Shuozhou Army? Not my sergeant from the Song Dynasty? Is this what Mi Guards meant, or did General Liu mean?"

Just as Mi Xing was about to turn back, Zhong Shidao stopped him and said: "General Liu Sheng is stationed in Shuozhou. The court does not give him a title. If he is not called Shuozhou Army, what should he call it?"

Zhong Shidao was also very dissatisfied with the court. The last time he entered the court, he explained his interests to the officials, used the credibility of three generations of the Zhong family as a guarantee, and promised to accompany the army on the Northern Expedition tomorrow spring. The officials then issued an order to reprimand Wang Fu. After a while, he was asked to go to Shuozhou to apologize, but in just a few days, after knowing that the magic weapon was gone, the court's attitude changed 180 degrees.

Wang Fu was either angered by Liu Sheng's refusal to supervise the army, or he received news from Cai Jing. He targeted him everywhere, and wrote several times not to allow Zhongshi Dao to send troops.

Mi Xing also saw the face of officials in the Song Dynasty. A few days ago, his attitude was very low, always looking for good things to say, but now he has this face again, coldly snorted: "My general's loyalty to the official family is not as good as Mr. Wang's words." speak out."

"My general conquered Yingzhou this time and obtained five hundred war horses and countless rare treasures. They were all presented to the official family as a New Year greeting."

Wang Fu said disdainfully: "Five hundred horses? Didn't it say that the Khitan people gave you more than 1000 war horses that day, so just take out five hundred horses, is this treating the officials like beggars?"

"You" Mi Xing was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he lost his dignity and pointed at Wang Fu and said: "Old man, if our Shuozhou Army really rebelled, it was you, Wang Fu, who forced us to rebel."

Wang Fu sneered: "Have you heard, General Zhong? Are you planning to rebel? Why don't you take it down quickly?"

Zhong Shidao stared at Wang Fu with cold eyes, slapped the table, causing the tea cup to fall, and said angrily: "Okay, what do you mean, Mr. Wang? If you really force the Shuozhou Army to rebel, what good can Mr. Wang get?"

Wang Pu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "It's not that we are rude and want to force the Shuozhou Army to rebel. It's just that this Shuozhou Army is unusual.

Let's not talk about Yingzhou. The city is high and strong. It is difficult to convince people just by marching in the blizzard.

As a civil servant, when I read a lot of books, I always think more about it. Did General Liu make some kind of deal with the Khitans in Yingzhou?

Taking advantage of the opportunity to offer treasures, after all, the Shuozhou Army had not been clear with the Khitan people before, so it is better to make these things clear. "

"What's unclear? Old man, why don't you come with me to Yingzhou and have a look?" Mi Xing stared at Wang Fu with burning eyes.

But if Fan said another one, two or three, he would directly cut him here with his sword.
