I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 24: Distribution to Large Households

There were 2 people in Wuyang with no end in sight. Liu Sheng smiled from ear to ear, but he couldn't laugh as he walked.

At the front are young men, who are strong and powerful, and in the middle are some women. At the back, you can see some old people on crutches, and even children.

This made Liu Sheng's face darken.

He probably knows where these 2 people came from.

At this time, Wu Ze waved his riding crop and asked for credit: "How about Brother Sheng? We did a good job, right?"

Liu Sheng said angrily: "You are conscripting by force, not even the young and old are spared?"

Liu Sheng was furious, pointing at Wu Ze and scolding him.

After a long time, Liu Sheng gave up after being persuaded by all the battalion commanders.

At this time, Wu Ze said aggrievedly: "Brother Sheng, you misunderstood me. These people were not forced to come. Brother Liang just asked the county government to issue a notice to give one person fifty kilograms of grain, and these people came in droves. Had it not been for some obstruction, there would have been even more people.”

Liu Sheng seemed to realize that he was too arbitrary and wrongly blamed Wu Ze. He pinched his nose in embarrassment. He felt that he seemed to be less and less tolerant of mistakes by those close to him.

If Liang Shouyi came to respond to this, he would at most look unhappy and beat him up in private, but he would definitely not scold him in public.

Liu Sheng patted Wu Ze on the shoulder and said, "Where's General Liang! Why didn't he come back together?"

Wu Ze didn't seem to care about what happened just now.

"Brother Liang said that after passing Sanggan River, Yingzhou City is ahead. He went out to investigate."

After speaking, the two of them were relatively speechless.

Or to ease the embarrassment, Liu Sheng smiled and said to Wu Ze: "When we get to Shuozhou, Brother Sheng will find you a wife."

Wu Ze suddenly blushed, "Brother Sheng, what are you talking about? You haven't even married me, how can I ask for a wife?"

Liu Sheng smiled, "Isn't this what you want?"

With the help of the young men in Huairen County, the march was much faster.

They arrived at Huairen County before dark, and Liang Shouyi was greeting them at the gate with a solemn expression.

"General, we can't go to Yingzhou City. Cai Xianggong is stationed here with his army."

Liu Sheng has been paying close attention to the news of Cai You, whether he is dead or defeated and returned to the country.

But they never expected that Cai You was entrenched in Yingzhou City and neither died nor retreated to the Song Dynasty. The distance between them was so close. Leaving aside the Sanggan River, the distance between the two of them was only a few hours on horseback.

Liu Sheng looked around and whispered: "This matter is confidential and must not be spread outside."

Liu Sheng finally got everyone's attention. If they knew that their immediate boss was a hundred miles away and could not be saved, they would abandon Liu Sheng and run away directly.

After a few days of contact, Liu Sheng found that most people were insensitive, or a group of people without goals.

They will not remember Cai You's evil, they only know that it is the imperial court, even if they are used as cannon fodder when they go back.

At first Liu Sheng thought it was a local pass for Chinese people, but later he figured out that it was backed by a big tree.

As a soldier of the Song Dynasty, you will die if you die. If you don't die, you will have food every day, although the food is not good, and you will get pay every month, although it is never paid in full.

Liu Sheng was just a child in their eyes. Even with the title of general, he was just a child with a hairless mouth.

A series of incomprehensible orders, a large amount of food and grass abandoned in the clouds, killing pigs and sheep yesterday, eating and drinking to their heart's content, this doesn't look like a living material.

Following Liu Sheng to the unknown Shuozhou, his future was in doubt, his life was in doubt, and even the cotton-padded clothes for the winter were nowhere to be found.

Liu Sheng finally understood that going to Te Niang to be loyal and patriotic was all business. They didn't understand the rules and made their plans very clearly.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Sheng pointed to the map and said: "We will not go to Yingzhou. We will go up along the Sanggan River and go directly to Shuozhou."

"Send out scouts to completely isolate the two armies and find out what Cai You is doing in Yingzhou? We must not be allowed to be discovered by Cai You's people." Liu Sheng said solemnly.

Liang Shou nodded, but there was good news. Cai You's troops were paralyzed, and they were in an uncontrolled state. They committed all kinds of evil in Yingzhou City, and the people in the city fled in large numbers.

There were no sentry rangers either. Liang Shou patted his chest and promised that as long as he changed into Khitan clothes, a thousand cavalry would be able to drive them away.

Liu Sheng thought it was feasible. After all, they had been frightened by the successive defeats, but they still rejected Liang Shouyi. It was better to do less than to do more.

The most important thing now is to get to Shuozhou first.

Due to Cai You's pressure, Liu Sheng did not choose to rest in Huairen County.

That night we went directly to the county government office, which was too close to the Sanggan River. We were not planning to implement the so-called New Deal. We just eliminated several big families in the city, distributed some money and food to the people in the city, and began to recruit people to help them. Transport food.

What Liu Sheng could not have imagined was that his distribution of food attracted half of the people in the city.

They all brought their families with them and were willing to follow Liu Sheng to earn a living.

Anyone else want to leave their hometown?

Although it was late autumn, the people here were still wearing very cool clothes, which gave Liu Sheng a different feeling about this era.

Liu Sheng really wanted to escape with Liu Xuande and all the people in the city.

In the end, reason overcame impulse. At this time, he needed to keep a low profile and stay away from everyone's eyes.

However, Liu Sheng did not intend to give up on them. Under Liu Sheng's order, all the wealthy households and businessmen in Huairen County, as long as they had materials, were liquidated, regardless of whether they were good or evil. With Liu Sheng's support, the people of Huairen were destroyed. Opened all the doors to big houses.

This farce didn't end until noon of the next day. Looking at the mess all over the city, Wang Liao couldn't help but sigh: "These mud-legged people usually seem to have low eyebrows and are calm. They don't fight back when they hit or scold. Terrible."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The ancients have made it clear for a long time, but too many people are just pretending to be confused."

Liu Sheng walked over slowly, seemingly caring about everything in front of him.

Wang Liao wanted to retort, but without waiting for words, seeing Liu Sheng walking away, he hurriedly chased after him. At this time, he did not dare to stay away from Liu Sheng.

"General, all those who took advantage of the chaos yesterday and committed crimes have been captured. General, please give me your instructions. Also...and..." Liang Shou hesitated at first.

"Is there someone in our department who is following behind to cause trouble?" Liu Sheng finished what Liang Shouyi had not said.

Liang Shou nodded one by one and said: "Yesterday, more than 78 people were arrested for committing adultery and committing crimes. Among them, more than [-] people were from our department, and [-] people were killed. How should we deal with these people, general?"

Liu Sheng thought for a while and said, "Which battalion are they from?"

"Most of them are from the Sixth and Seventh Battalions."

Liu Sheng nodded, indicating that he knew that in troubled times, one should focus on the key points. Needless to say, this needs to be said, but people are easy to separate and hard to get together.

If you kill soldiers for such a small thing.

Liu Sheng was afraid that they would be afraid of power but not virtue, and disperse in a rush, but if he left it like this, without troops, everything would be in chaos.

Rules must be established from the beginning. If you don't want to change them later, it will be extremely difficult.

Liang Shouyi and Wang Liao on the side saw Liu Sheng was silent and thought Liu Sheng was in trouble. They were about to find an excuse to ask Liu Sheng to release the two hundred sergeants, but Liu Sheng waved his hand to stop them and said: "Bring away all those who have committed human lives." Beheading at the wet market.”

This gap cannot be opened, especially in the most difficult times. This is the bottom line. Once military discipline is loose, effective combat effectiveness will not be formed at all.

The Khitans will die as soon as they come, and they must obey orders and prohibitions. This is the minimum requirement.
