I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 132 Battle Report

When Liu Sheng turned around in disappointment, Soraka took out a letter from his arms, which was given to him by the old man who opened the door earlier.

Liu Sheng opened it with only one sentence, "Soraka, I know you have joined the Song Army a long time ago, and you still want to defraud me, haha."

The last haha ​​is full of sarcasm, which shows how high-spirited and satisfied Emperor Tianzuo was when he wrote this letter, and seemed to have seen through everything. . . .

Liu Sheng was a little confused. What could he be happy about when a ruined emperor lost his companions?

......

In this way, Liu Sheng occupied Yunzhou in a daze. He thought that it might take a bloody battle, or that there might be various conspiracies, but he didn't expect that he would win it easily without firing a single shot. It was like Came to receive general.

Liu Sheng walked around the city and had to say that the Khitan people managed the capital very well.

The streets are neat and tidy, and the various shops opened are dazzling.

At the moment, it's just the snowstorm and the war, and there are not many shops open, but Liu Sheng believes that it won't be long before the place becomes prosperous again.

Liu Sheng walked on the street, endless pride surged in his heart. This was the Yunzhou that the Song Dynasty had longed for, the goal of the 20-strong Northern Expedition.

Liu Sheng was also one of the 20 Northern Expedition troops, but he was defeated without even touching the city wall.

Now that he is sitting in this city, he has accomplished something that even the entire Song Dynasty could not accomplish. This is a huge sense of satisfaction.

If it weren't for him, the next Han to attack here would be Zhu Yuanzhang hundreds of years later.

He changed history, or created history.

At this time, Liu Sheng was like a dream, feeling a little unreal, like a dream.

Although he ran away from Emperor Tianzuo and failed to achieve the expected strategic goals, Liu Sheng was very satisfied.

Catching him would be the icing on the cake. If he couldn't be caught, Liu Sheng would also leave a mark in the history books.

He said to Mi Xing who came after him: "Sending the battle report to the Song Dynasty, it was said that the Khitan Emperor Yelu Yanxi personally supervised the battle in Xijing. The morale of the Khitan officers and soldiers increased greatly. Each of them was one to ten. Their fighting spirit was high and they were unstoppable. The entire city of Xijing, inside and outside, was stained red by the blood of soldiers from both sides. The blood flowed into rivers, and the broken limbs and remains were unknown.

Although the Khitan resisted tenaciously and their emperor encouraged their morale, our soldiers were united and united, fearless of death, and vowed to capture Xijing for His Majesty. Fortunately, His Majesty's Dragon Power protected him, and our soldiers fought bravely and fearlessly in the offensive. I will finally live up to your majesty's trust and regain Yunzhou. "

What should Liu Sheng say when he suddenly paused?

Not a single arrow was shot, not a single cannon was fired, and not a single person died! You can't kill a few people just to write a battle report for the emperor!

Liu Sheng thought for a while and then counted all the refugees gathered in Yingzhou as prisoners, and continued: "There are countless beheadings in this battle. The enemy resisted tenaciously and refused to retreat. They held the gunpowder cans and died together with our army. There are no corpses on the battlefield." We divided the enemy and captured more than [-] enemy troops. The enemy leader Yelu Yanxi fled in panic and disappeared without a trace."

Mi Xing questioned: "Can they believe the general's battle report?"

Liu Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "Then you tell them that when we arrived at Xijing, the city gate of Xijing was wide open, and we walked in and took back Xijing. Can they believe it?"

Don’t battle reports written to the emperor always have to be exaggerated? Otherwise, how would the emperor know how difficult it is for our army to attack the city?

"You can find a few more literati from the Song Dynasty and let them polish it for me."

Mi Xing thought for a while and it was the same. If he told them that Xijing City had no resistance, it would be a matter of course, just like a beautiful girl who took off her clothes and seduced an old bachelor.

They may also suspect Liu Sheng of cheating.

The two sides fought bloody battles and Liu Sheng suffered heavy losses, so they could accept that he would no longer be in the army.

"General, don't we want a reward or something?" Mi Xing was very excited. Yunzhou had been captured this time, and he was afraid that the emperor would remove all the inner treasury and reward them.

Liu Sheng stopped him and said, "No, the Song Dynasty is a bunch of scoundrels. They are very particular about thunder, rain and dew, all of which are the favor of the king. The more you ask for it, the more they won't give it to you."

"Sending the battle report is a great achievement."

Liu Sheng was also curious. After recovering the three states, the Song Dynasty gave him a general with a mixed title, starting from the fourth rank. However, Liu Sheng also understood in his heart that Yingzhou and Huanzhou were nothing. It was not that no one conquered the Song Dynasty, it was just that there were no It's just a matter of holding it. Without the pass, it's impossible to hold it. Once the Khitan army came, they had to give in. Liu Sheng also took advantage of the Jurchens.

But taking Yunzhou is different. To the south, it can radiate to the entire Huanzhou, Yingzhou, and Shuozhou. To the east, you can attack Yuzhou and Xinzhou. At the worst, you can ensure that your basic base is not disturbed.

And the meaning of Yunzhou is also different. It is one of the capitals of Xijing of the Khitan people.

Whether it was politically, militarily, or geographically, Liu Sheng did not believe that the big bosses of the Song Dynasty could turn a blind eye and pretend they didn't know.

In fact, Liu Sheng didn't care whether he was rewarded or not.

If he is given supplies, his territory can develop faster. If he is not given, then again, Liu Sheng just grabs the flag on the side of the Qing Dynasty and attacks Shanxi. No one in the world can say that he is not.

After all, there are no treacherous ministers around the emperor. How can he do this?

"Report our losses." Liu Sheng said.

In fact, Mi Xing also wanted to know how Song Ting would reward him?

Since following the army in the Northern Expedition, he has not received a penny of military pay from the Song Dynasty.

But it was strange that Yelu Yanxi and Liu Sheng ran away. Didn't these guys hide in the ravines to avoid the snowstorm?

How did he know that Soraka had taken refuge with him? After thinking about it, Liu Sheng didn't think Yelu Chun would be smart enough to explain the situation to Yelu Yanxi.

The plan should have been seamless, but Yelu Yanxi knew that Soraka had defected to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng asked Mi Xing a question and wanted him to check it out.

Mi Xing smiled bitterly and said: "General, there is no need to check. The Dark Breath Guards sent out a few days ago did not report any news because the city gate was blocked.

The story of General Soraka's plea for mercy for his subordinates and his willingness to become a slave has spread throughout the Khitan.

The Khitan soldiers whom the general promised to let go spread the word of General Soraka's loyalty and the general's kindness wherever they passed. "

Liu Sheng was stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this.

This was something he didn't expect. When a heavy snowstorm closed the road, everyone retreated. Later, a large number of barbarians went south, and many found their own tribes. Liu Sheng ignored them, and unexpectedly some of them left.

But Liu Sheng has no regrets. If he had listened to Liang Shouyi and sent them all to mine, the benefits would be visible to the naked eye.

Compared to immediate interests, Liu Sheng prefers those soldiers to spread his kindness.
