Chapter 52: The Song army is approaching, do not move, otherwise the country will be destroyed
"Are you telling the truth?" Liu Yu stood up excitedly and asked in a trembling voice.
It's not surprising that Liu Yu looked like this. In fact, he also knew that their current situation was indeed as unbearable as his son said. If they choose the Kingdom of Jin, even if they live a wealthy life, they will live like a pig and live worse than death. On the contrary
It is better to choose the Song Dynasty, at least he can look like a human being, and if he performs well, he will have a promising future.
Therefore, compared with the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu would definitely choose the Song Dynasty first, not to mention that the Song Dynasty had never crowned a living person king. That is to say, the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty are now at war, and the Jin Kingdom has no time to deal with the puppet Qi. According to official history, after some time,
The Kingdom of Jin will escort Liu Yu to the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.
"This is what His Majesty said personally in front of the army, and there is absolutely no lie. As long as you submit to our country, you will definitely be crowned king. You will be hereditary and you will live with the country."
"What did the envoy of the Song Dynasty say? If our country surrenders to the Jin Kingdom, the Jin people will not grant us the title of king. We have no hatred against the Jin Kingdom, so why do we have to surrender to the Song Dynasty?" Liu Lin said slyly, obviously wanting to do so.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the lion opened his mouth wide and made a huge profit.
"You are right, but how will the history books write about the two of you? I wonder if you have ever thought about it. Once you surrender to the Jin Kingdom and the country's title is abolished, what will be written in the history books of the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty? It will write that you lived an ignoble existence.
Or should I write that you have lost your conscience and betrayed your family and country? Don’t you want to leave your name in history, or do you want to be the dog of the Jin Kingdom?”
"You." The words of the Song envoy clearly hit the point of Liu Yu and Liu Lin's pain points. At first, they assisted the Jin Kingdom in conquering the Song Dynasty. They expected the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Song Dynasty, take over the Central Plains themselves, and then write their own history.
.They will describe themselves as heroes like Gou Jian who endured hardships and hardships and finally established the country.
But now the Puppet Qi will be abolished, their reputation will become extremely bad in both the history books of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, and their descendants will be looked down upon no matter which country they are in.
"Song envoy, don't be angry. It's just that our dynasty has many generals who surrendered to the Song Dynasty. If they surrender to the Song Dynasty, they will definitely worry that the Song Dynasty will liquidate them. Although we, father and son, are incompetent, we will not do anything that will cost our men their lives." Liu Lin persuaded.
With a sound, the atmosphere relaxed.
"My Majesty has also explained this matter. My Majesty said that as long as those people no longer invade the Song Dynasty from today on, the past things will be forgotten. But if you still act like this after today, then don't blame my Majesty for being cruel."
"This, we still need to think about this matter, why don't Ambassador Song step down first." What Ambassador Song said made Liu Yu a little moved, but he still had to discuss it with Liu Lin.
"My Majesty is full of sincerity, and I hope you will not let it down. I just wonder if the soldiers at the border have withdrawn?"
"This also needs to be discussed with those military generals. As you know, we can't restrain them." Liu Lin pretended to be embarrassed and said, obviously still trying to seek some benefits.
"This is a letter written by my Majesty himself. If you don't agree to withdraw the troops, let me hand it over to you." How could the Song envoy not know what Liu Yu and Liu Lin were thinking, and he was not ambiguous. He took out Liu Chan's letter from his arms and handed it over.
To Liu Yu,
Liu Yu opened the letter curiously and saw that it read: "The Song army is approaching, do not move, otherwise the country will be destroyed."
Liu Yu was immediately furious. He slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily at the Song envoy: "You are bullying people too much. Aren't you afraid that I will attack your Song Dynasty together with the Kingdom of Jin?"
Hey, that envoy Song is not an ordinary person. Hearing this, he said very forcefully: "Oh, I didn't expect you to have such courage. For the sake of being Han Chinese, my Majesty will give you a way to survive. Don't be disrespectful.
.As long as you dare to send troops to attack our Song Dynasty now, our country will definitely use all the strength of the whole country, even every plant and tree, it will be nothing more than destroying the city and destroying the country, paying blood for blood."
Although the Puppet Qi apparently has an army of 150,000, in fact many of the elites are not theirs. They either surrendered or belong to the Kingdom of Jin. What's more, coupled with the fear of the Kingdom of Jin, many of the Puppet Qi's capable generals
They were all deposed. In terms of national strength, the Puppet Qi was higher than the Southern Song Dynasty in the early stage, but now the Puppet Qi is no longer as good as the Song Dynasty due to the deliberate weakening of the Jin State.
"Don't be angry, Ambassador Song. We don't have to go to war. It's just that the situation in our country is complicated and we need to discuss it with the ministers before we can give an answer. But don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Liu Linla.
After calming down the angry Liu Lin, he persuaded him.
"Thank you very much, sir, but please consider carefully whether you want to provide help in times of need, or whether you want to add icing on the cake."
After the Song envoy retreated, Liu Yu looked at Liu Lin and asked: "What do you think?" At this time, Liu Yu no longer had the angry look just now, and asked his son carefully. As an emperor, he must manage his expression.
It is a compulsory course. Liu Yu was such a precious son to Liu Lin that he was even willing to play bad guy in front of the Song Dynasty envoy and let him play bad side for him.
"Then the Song envoy said something, the icing on the cake is definitely not as good as providing help in times of need. We helped the Jin Kingdom send troops, and the Jin Kingdom did not realize how valuable we were. On the contrary, we helped the Song Dynasty send troops and made greater profits. What's more, the Song Dynasty
It is more stable and comfortable than the Kingdom of Jin."
"But now the Song Dynasty is attacking the Jin Kingdom? Why don't we send troops?"
"That's why we didn't send troops. This time the Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Jin Kingdom, so there must be something to rely on. We might as well sit back and watch the situation on both sides."
shunchang
One hundred thousand troops have been assembled outside the city, waiting for Jin Wushu's arrival. However, at this time, Han Shizhong was still in the city trying to persuade Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, this battle is very dangerous. You are a man of gold, and you are sitting here.
That’s it, there’s no need to go to the front line in person.”
"The purpose of my personal expedition is to personally fight against the Kingdom of Jin. If we retreat at this time, where is the dignity of the country and where is my dignity? The gunpowder and stone cannons are all ready."
"Everything is ready, but you."
"Okay, no need to say more, just go with me."
Liu Chan ignored Han Shizhong, and led Han Shizhong's generals to ride their horses to the front of the 100,000-strong army, and ordered people to fly the yellow dragon flag that belonged to Liu Chan.
"Look, what is that?" a soldier said sharply.
"That seems to be the emperor's flag, right?"
"Yes, except His Majesty, no one dares to tattoo a dragon on the military flag."
"Could it be that His Majesty is here in person?" the soldiers commented excitedly when they saw the rising Yellow Dragon Flag.
Liu Chan was alone, sitting on a horse, standing in front of the army. Han Shizhong and other generals stopped behind Liu Chan. Liu Chan shouted to the army: "The Song army is mighty."
Han Shizhong hurriedly responded: "Long live the emperor."
The soldiers below realized that the leader Liu Chan was the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and they all shouted excitedly: "Long live the Emperor."
"The Song army is mighty."
"Long live the Emperor."
Liu Chan boosted morale in front of the army: "We have been fighting for ten years since the fall of Bianliang. This time we have traveled thousands of miles, and we will soon fight the main force of the Jin Kingdom. Many people are afraid of the Jin Kingdom, but I am not afraid, because
The Kingdom of Jin is also a human being. As long as you are a human being, you will die with one strike. I am going to defeat the Jin army head-on in this battle, and tell the Kingdom of Jin that I am still here, and who is dead. I want you to ride with me this time.
Company camp, I want you to fight bloody battles with me on the battlefield, so that our descendants will never suffer from war again." Liu Chan drew out his sword: "If we don't defeat the enemy this time, we vow not to turn back."
"kill."
"General, that seems to be the flag of the Song Dynasty emperor." Han Chang had sharp eyes and saw Liu Chan's Yellow Dragon Flag from a distance.
"Where is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?" Jin Wushu's eyes lit up and he said happily.
"It looks like it's definitely there."
"Okay, hurry up and rush to Shunchang." Jin Wushu had already seen the Song Army and Chen Bing outside Shunchang City. This was very satisfying to him.
After a while, the Song Army and the Jin Army confronted each other outside Shunchang. Jin Wushu ordered people to go to the Song Army's formation to call for formation. Only one person from the Jin Army rushed out and shouted to the Song Army: "I am the Jin Army."
Forward Hu Gai, who dares to fight with me?"
Han Shizhong was about to send a general to fight. They were fighting in front of the formation. They were not weaker than the Jin army. But before Han Shizhong could speak, Liu Chan stopped him: "I will win a victory for the army first." Then Liu Chance
The horse rushed out, equipped with a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and headed straight for Hu Gai.
Han Shizhong was horrified that he did not stop Liu Chan and wanted to send troops to assist, but he was afraid of affecting the movement of the army, so he stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.
Hu Gai looked happy when he saw a thin man rushing toward him. It seemed that he was going to win the battle. Liu Chan came very quickly and was in front of Hu Gai in just a moment. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand slashed Hu Gai straight.
Hu Gai used his gun to block his forehead, but as soon as it made contact, it was cut off and he was killed instantly.
Liu Chan used Guan Yu's famous stunt, a strike that advances without retreating. This strike started to gather momentum when Liu Chan rode out, and when he ran in front of Hu Gai, the blow was not something Hu Gai could resist.
But as long as Hu Gai dodges and avoids Liu Chan's irreversible blow, Liu Chan will be the one who dies.
Because although Liu Chan's sword was fierce, it could not be turned, and the follow-up was weak, so there was no possibility of swinging the sword again. Liu Chan was betting that Hu Gai would not dodge. Of course Hu Gai would not dodge, he is a proud golden man.
, looked down upon the Song people at all. So, Liu Chan won the bet and Hu Gai died. This was a war.
"Long live, long live, long live." Liu Chan's shouting just now was still vivid in his mind. Of course, the Song army knew that it was Liu Chan who was fighting in front of the formation at this time. So everyone shouted long live with excitement, and the morale of the army was suddenly boosted.
Han Shizhong was stunned. How could he not know Liu Chan's abilities? How did he become so strong?
Jin Wushu was very angry, but when he heard Song Jun shouting "Long Live", he became happy and looked at Liu Chan like a wolf seeing a sheep. Jin Wushu shouted to his men: "If there is another person left, we must capture that person."
.”
I saw another soldier rushing out from the Jin army and heading straight towards Liu Chan. Liu Chan gave up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand because Guan Yu taught him such a move. After using it, he didn't know what to do. But he still
There was a two-handed sword given to him by his father. He saw the Jin Army soldier swinging his sword at Liu Chan. Liu Chan pulled out his sword to block it. With a flick of his hand, the sword split into two. Liu Chan stabbed with his backhand and the soldier was killed instantly.
