I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

As for the remaining three battalion commanders, they were not favored by others because they were too honest.

Thinking of the general trend, the three battalion commanders could not afford to make waves, which also allowed them to escape disaster.

Soon, night fell, and the whole military camp was full of joy. Although there was no wine, there was enough meat for the soldiers to eat.

This group of miserable men had never had such a rich salary before. It was even more exciting for them than getting paid.

Liu Sheng went out to inspect the area and let the soldiers eat and drink well.

Then he returned to his camp and invited the twelve camp commanders to come to his tent for a banquet.

Liu Sheng invited twelve battalion commanders, but only ten came. After everyone sat down, the guard reported: "General, the eleventh battalion commander and the twelfth battalion commander are still in a coma. I'm afraid they can't come to the banquet." ”

Liu Sheng pretended to be angry and said: "What's going on? I didn't ask you to beat me gently, why did you beat me unconscious?

Although people can't come, they can't miss out on the food. Go and deliver a portion of tonight's banquet to each of the two battalion commanders. "

The guards lifted the dining table prepared for the two battalion commanders and carried it to their camp.

At this time, the [-]th Battalion Commander slowly opened his eyes and learned that the seven battalion commanders who had been beaten earlier went to Liu Sheng's tent like nothing happened.

Angry, he struggled to get up, kicked over the food brought by Liu Sheng, and said in a low voice: "Liu Sheng, you are going too far."

Then he asked: "Where is the [-]th Battalion Commander?"

When the twelfth battalion commander came to the eleventh battalion commander's tent, he found the eleventh battalion commander lying on the bed, wolfing down the food Liu Sheng had sent.

He said without getting angry: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, even if you are about to die, you still eat."

After saying that, he kicked it over and the [-]th Battalion Commander lay beside the bed, "What a delicious dish, it's all meat."

The distress was palpable, looking at the spilled dishes on the floor, "What a waste." After saying that, he wanted to reach out and pick it up.

"I think that's what happened to Liu Sheng. He apologized to us right after the beating and gave us so much meat. He just wanted us to replenish our bodies!"

The commander of the [-]th Battalion hated iron and said: "Did you know that the seven battalion commanders who were beaten earlier are now sitting in Liu Sheng's tent. Nothing happened. Only the two of us were beaten to a bloody pulp. "

The [-]th Battalion Commander was a little disbelieving: "Impossible! The wailing doesn't seem to be fake. When he left, he was carried away by others."

"Hmph, believe it or not, this man named Liu has made it clear that he wants to kill both of us. Now he can only act according to the master's plan."

The commander of the [-]th Battalion was a little worried, "How about we wait a little longer. The man named Liu is not treating us badly at the moment. He doesn't leave us with food, drink, food and clothing. Isn't it too unkind for us to do this?"

The commander of the [-]th Battalion was furious, "Wait? Wait for what? Wait until Liu's knife is inserted into our necks?"

The [-]th Battalion Commander was still hesitant and wanted to say something, but the [-]th Battalion Commander said firmly: "Go and invite Wang Wu and the special envoy."

And Liu Sheng didn't know all this. Whether he was having fun eating water instead of wine with everyone in the camp was because people really didn't pay that much attention.

Each person has half a chicken, a pound of mutton, and a pound of pork.

As soon as he entered the camp, he greeted Liu Sheng, then sat down and started eating. Yes, it was eating, not eating.

Have they ever seen this kind of oil and water?

He held the chicken in one hand and the mutton in the other and stuffed it into his mouth hungrily.

Liu Sheng let them eat for a while before he said: "Brothers, I invite you here today mainly for two reasons. One is to get to know you.

After all, we will live and die together in the future, so we can’t not even know our names! "

Just as Liu Sheng finished speaking, the battalion commander sitting on his left stood up and said, "General, my name is Liang Shouyi and the general are fellow villagers. Most of the brothers in our battalion are from the same county."

Liu Sheng pressed his wrist, motioned him to sit down and said, holding up a bowl of water: "I'll give you a bowl of water instead of wine."

Then the second battalion commander stood up and said: "My name is Ding Jie and the third battalion commander Ai Zhuang is from the same county.

That's the commander of the fourth battalion Wu Jiang, that's the commander of the fifth battalion Bian Ning, that's the commander of the sixth battalion...that's the commander of the tenth battalion Mi Xing.

Ding Jie was very eloquent and within a short time, several battalion commanders were introduced.

Every time Ding Jie introduced a battalion commander Liu Sheng, he would hold a bowl filled with water and offer them a bowl.

Finally, Liu Sheng said with a smile: "We brothers have gotten to know each other, so if you have anything to say in the future, you can just say it.

But we really can’t go back to the Song Dynasty. We have made it clear to you before, no matter what others say or what they promised you?

What they want is not us, but the merits of our group in defeating the Khitan cavalry.

Otherwise, they will not be able to explain to the emperor when they go back. I also hope that all brothers can understand this truth and stop becoming other people's tools.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, expressing their willingness to obey all Liu Sheng's orders.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Liu Sheng continued: "The weather is getting colder and colder now, and heavy snow is probably coming soon. We have to get to Shuozhou before the first snowfall.

Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to travel due to heavy snow and road closures. After today's meal, I hope all the battalion commanders will take more trouble to restrain the soldiers and hurry up. "

At this time, the second battalion commander Ding Jie said: "General, it's not that we don't want to hurry, but we have brought too many things, including all kinds of ordnance, money, and a lot of food and grass.

Now, except for the more than 1000 cavalry in the hands of the general, there are almost four people per carriage.

The road was rugged, and sometimes a carriage got stuck in the mud, and it took more than a dozen sergeants to push it out and continue on the road. The pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks also needed people to drive them behind.

It is very difficult to increase the marching speed. "

Regarding this problem, Liu Sheng also knew that he brought too many things and too few manpower. This was due to the large number of livestock obtained from Yunzhong City, otherwise he would not even be able to achieve such a marching speed.

"unless"..

Ding Jie spoke.

Liu Sheng asked hurriedly: "Unless what?"

"Unless we throw away a lot of supplies."

Liu Sheng waved his hands in disappointment and refused directly: "This is impossible. Carrying these things now will be the foundation of our foundation in Shuozhou.

The food we eat is one meal less. Before entering Shuozhou, we must reserve food until next summer's harvest, so the food supply will continue to increase. "

At this time, everyone fell into deep thought and wanted to continue adding more food. Even one person and one carriage cannot transport it!

At this time, Mi Xing, commander of the [-]th Battalion, stood up and said, "General, I have an immature suggestion. I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "If you and I have anything to say between you and me, please tell us quickly."

"My subordinates feel that the top priority is not food, but that we should first send people to see the situation in Shuozhou.

If Shuozhou is unstable, a large army should be sent to stabilize the situation first. As for the food, it can be piled up in one place, and then people can be sent to transport it slowly. "
