Chivalrous Song Dynasty

He didn't dare to say this at first, he was afraid that Bai Sheng would kill him if he broke the jar, but at this moment, the situation forced him to make it clear, if he didn't make it clear, these soldiers would dare to go to the room It's broken.

Seeing Qin Hui put the blame on himself, Zhong Shidao showed a look of embarrassment, but he still didn't answer, and only looked at Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng just laughed, and said to himself, you old man really want to continue fighting this battle, but you dare not take the responsibility, right?Well, I will take this responsibility.He said: "Qin Yushi, you have come from a long way, it seems that you don't know who is the boss in Yanzhou City?"

"Boss?" Qin Hui didn't understand this straightforward vocabulary for a while, but he was not a fool, and then he understood what Bai Sheng meant. The people talking in Yanzhou City were no longer the kind of teacher and the governor of Yan'an. up.

But how is this possible?How can the lord of a city give and receive in private?And if it is said that Bai Sheng seized power by force, why were Fu Yin and Zhong Shidao not persecuted?Could it be that Fu Yin and Zhong Shidao have turned against Bai Sheng together?That's even more impossible, at least Fu Yin's attitude towards him is still very respectful.

So he asked in confusion: "What does Bai Xianfeng mean by this? I bid farewell to the official family and came to Xizhen. I don't seem to have heard about your promotion and appointment of Bai Sheng before. Could it be that this city of Yanzhou is no longer the Song dynasty? Could it be that you, Bai Sheng, have disobeyed the Song Dynasty's jurisdiction?"

Bai Sheng smiled and said: "You are right, Yanzhou City is already the territory of Xixia, and the people in Yanzhou City only obey Xixia's jurisdiction."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, even Bai Sheng's subordinates were at a loss, what does this mean?Could it be that Bai Sheng still wants to seek refuge in Xixia?But if this is the case, why kill the [-] elites of Songba and Xixia?

What Qin Hui was waiting for was Bai Sheng's words. Hearing this, he immediately slapped the table, made a dignified look, and shouted: "Bai Sheng, you traitor, how dare you openly surrender to the enemy?"

Bai Sheng was very calm, but his face was full of pity. He looked at Qin Hui and said, "You openly defect to the enemy? Don't you blush when you say this? Is it me, Bai Sheng, who wants to give cattle, sheep and wine to the Xixia people? Obviously you are here If you surrender to the enemy, why do the thieves call out to catch the thieves instead?"

Qin Hui said angrily: "I am carrying out the will of the Holy Majesty. I am going to repair the enemy's country. How can I go to the enemy?"

Bai Sheng said with a smile: "If you want to make friends with Xixia people, you can go. I didn't stop you, but you can't let the people of Yanzhou contribute cattle, sheep and wine. The city is full of soldiers and people of the Western Army to stick to the city. For several months, you have not been able to eat a full meal, and you let them donate cattle and sheep to flatter you? You can say it!"

Bai Sheng's words won the hearts of the people, and everyone in the room felt that he had spoken what was in everyone's heart, but everyone also knew that the contribution of cattle and sheep was actually the emperor's intention. You are to blame.

Qin Hui looked at Zhong Shidao and Fu Yin again, but seeing that they both looked like they had nothing to do with him, he brushed his robe sleeves angrily, and said: "You don't want to take the cattle and sheep, you can do it yourself. At that time, when the peace talks fail, and the whole country of Song Dynasty is in trouble, you will be the chief culprits!"

After finishing speaking, he greeted the guards outside the hall and prepared to go to the Xixia military camp.In this city of Yanzhou, we can't compete with Bai Sheng, let's ride a donkey to read the songbook - we'll see.

He planned to hold back his anger for a while, but Bai Sheng refused to let him go, and ordered: "Qin Hui is willing to join the enemy, we don't care, but I have to seize the two carts of gold, silver and jewels he is carrying. This is our Great Song Dynasty. You want to give the people’s fat and oil to the people of Xixia? There’s no way!”

As soon as he gave an order, Feng Nandu, Yi Xiao, Xiang Chong, Li Yan and others immediately led the crowd to surround the two carts of gold and silver treasures, and seized the cart without any explanation.

Qin Hui was so angry that his face turned green. He pointed at Bai Sheng and was speechless for a while, before he said, "Good job, Bai Sheng! You dare to rob the imperial court's old coins, so you are cruel! Let's go!"

Bai Sheng looked at Qin Hui's back and left Yan'an mansion, and ordered: "Brother Feng, General Shangguan, you two each take a cart of gold and silver and share it with your brothers. Don’t, it’s just to be with the Xixia people, it’s to be my enemy in vain!”

Chapter 655 I just don't want to be a slave

Since ancient times, no matter who it is, if they want to lead the crowd to rise up, they must have enough money and food to benefit their subordinates. This is the reason why the emperor does not send hungry soldiers. If you have no money, who will fight with you?

If Bai Sheng wants to control Yanzhou City, he must give some benefits to the soldiers of the Western Army in Yanzhou. Otherwise, these people will be willing to rebel with you Bai Sheng with the military salary of the Song Dynasty?

In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Bai Sheng's behavior is already full of rebellion. Resisting the imperial decree and grabbing old coins by force, these two actions alone have confirmed his crime of rebellion.

Except for those men and women under Bai Sheng's subordinates, the vast majority of people don't want to rebel against Bai Sheng, because rebels usually have no good end, since these people would rather die in the battle against the Xixia people, they would also come to eat a bowl The military rations showed that they were law-abiding citizens who respected the imperial power.

But they don't want to have an affair with Xixia, and they don't want to hand over the fruits of victory. They know that if they make peace with Xixia today, it will only be the soldiers and civilians on the border who will continue to suffer from Xixia tomorrow, not the emperor and ministers in the court. .

Of course, they don't want to give the money and cattle and sheep they saved to those brutal Xixia soldiers, but whoever has a bit of blood is willing to use his property to fund the enemies who bully him?

They just dare not refuse to carry out the imperial decree.In this era, the status of the king, relatives and teachers is paramount. The emperor, as the "lord" under the heaven and earth, is more noble and sacred than his parents. People are educated from birth not to despise the imperial power, otherwise they will die Dead ugly.

This is Bai Sheng's chance!You dare not challenge the imperial power, I, Bai Sheng dare, just ask whether you will follow or not?

In fact, Bai Sheng doesn't care who he wants to rebel against. As a time traveler, he was born under the supervision of his parents in the later modern age. When he went to kindergarten and elementary school, he was supervised by teachers and schools. After graduating from school, he was supervised by his work unit and the state. There is no way to restrain and govern violent organs.

But now that I have traveled through time, I came to the Song Dynasty 900 years ago. After a period of time, I have practiced the highest martial arts in the world, and I have my own people and territory. Why should I submit to someone or an organization? ?Why do you want to kneel and lick behind an emperor's ass?

Zhao Ji was the emperor in the Song Dynasty, the Son of Heaven who hunted on behalf of the sky, but do the Xixia people recognize it?Do the Liao people admit it?Do Jin people admit it?Since people in the three northwestern provinces, the three northeastern provinces, most of Hebei, and the Mongolian plateau don't recognize the emperor Zhao Ji, why should I, Bai Sheng, be at his mercy?I'm not born to be a slave, so I can only be a dog to others!

In Bai Sheng's eyes, today's Xixia people, Liao people, and even Jin people are all part of the great unity of the Chinese nation in the future. Can Zhao Ji, who is not recognized by half of China, be Bai Sheng's leader?That's bullshit.

Conversely, his attitude towards Xixia people, Liao people, and Jin people is also different from that of Song people around him. His attitude towards these three countries is that people will not offend me, and I will not offend others.If you don't provoke me, Bai Sheng, I won't bother you, but if you violate my interests, then you will resolutely suppress it.

Just like this Xizheng, he originally used the guise of Xizheng to get medicine for the child in his wife's stomach, but who knew that he had made a feud with Li Ruolan after all this, so he made things bigger and bigger. Li Ruolan's ambition and foundation must be completely destroyed.

At this moment, he resisted Zhao Ji's imperial decree by taking advantage of his unrivaled power in Yanzhou City, which can be regarded as a great joy to the people.No matter who it is, as long as you take this money, it will not be so easy to leave me, Bai Sheng, and return to Song Dynasty.

Of course, if you don't take the money, you will be my enemy in vain, and I will kill you right now.

Almost everyone understands this truth, but there are still people who do not take money. The first person who does not take money is the teacher.

In the eyes of Zhong Shidao, Bai Sheng's behavior at this time is certainly what the people and the army want, but after all, he came from an unknown teacher, and he was clearly labeled as a traitor and traitor on his head.Taking his money is tantamount to declaring that he has completely betrayed the Song Dynasty. How could he, a famous general who served the Song Dynasty for generations, join the rebel army so easily?

But at the same time, he also understood that from the moment Qin Hui left Yan'an government office angrily, he had at least been regarded by Qin Hui as Bai Sheng's accomplice. Willing to publicly express his betrayal of Zhao Song, this is the ethics or obsession of the so-called Confucian generals in this era.

It's just that he didn't publicly tell Bai Sheng not to step down, because he knew that if he openly opposed Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng would definitely kill him as an example, and hardcore subordinates like Han Shizhong and Shangguan Jiannan would be executed. Since Bai Sheng dared to do this, he had the confidence to do so, and he would not ruin the lives of himself and his apprentice Ai Jiang in vain.

He adopted a more tactful method, only saying that he had been in Yanzhou for many years, and his family had quite a lot of savings, so he didn't need to get an extra windfall, and asked Han Shizhong to distribute his share to his soldiers.

Bai Sheng was able to guess what kind of teacher was thinking, so he didn't force it, and to save some face for the old guy, he immediately announced that he would reward the three armies. Of course, what he rewarded was not the three armies of Xixia outside the city, but the Western army in Yanzhou city. .

Not only did he want to reward the Western Army, but he also wanted to appease the people. Not only did he distribute the gold and silver he had snatched from Qin Hui to the soldiers, but he himself took out a large amount of silver bills and asked Liang Hongyu to exchange them at the bank and distribute them to the soldiers. every resident in the city.

Not only does he not collect exorbitant taxes, but he distributes money to the common people. Who doesn't love such a monarch?The people in Yanzhou City wish that Bai Sheng would ascend the throne and become emperor now, and live with such an emperor, so that they would wake up laughing from their dreams.

After a night of feasting, Bai Sheng began to intervene in the reorganization of the Western Army the next day, disrupting Han Shizhong, Yang Keshi, Shangguan Jiannan, and Wang Jin's soldiers and then regrouping them. Vow to destroy the main force of Xixia outside the city.

Regardless of whether Li Ruolan releases Hu Sanniang as scheduled or not, he must eradicate Xixia, a capable warrior, otherwise the territory he has won will not be stable enough.

Not to mention that Bai Sheng was fighting hard in Yanzhou City, but that Qin Hui came to the Xixia military camp empty-handed and apprehensive, but was unexpectedly honored by Li Ruolan as a guest of honour, and was warmly received by Li Ruolan.

Li Ruolan not only arranged a grand banquet for Qin Hui, but also accompanied the wine in person, doing her best to be charming and seductive. Qin Hui, like most literati in the world, had a romantic and lustful nature. How could he resist the beautiful Li Ruolan? Temptation, I became Li Ruolan's guest of honor that night.

Early the next morning, Li Ruolan personally saw Qin Hui off, not sending him back to Yanzhou, but sending him to Huanzhou.Li Ruolan's intention was to let him go to Xingqing Mansion via Huanzhou, inform Tong Guan of the news of Bai Sheng's rebellion, and let Tong Guan move to Yanzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Bai Sheng will not obey Zhao Ji's will. Li Ruolan has known this for a long time. Ever since she and Bai Sheng bathed together in Tianshan Hot Spring and found the blank imperial edict from Bai Sheng, she knew that Bai Sheng had the intention of rebellion. upset.After a few times of cloud and rain, she told Qin Hui about Bai Sheng's various treasonous behaviors.

To solve the current predicament Xixia is facing, we must first get rid of the stumbling block of Bai Sheng. The emperor of the Song Dynasty has already sent a peace envoy. It is really unbearable for you Bai Sheng to continue to fight against Xixia.

Since the Xixia army is no longer able to fight against Bai Sheng, why not use Da Song to get rid of him?

Although she has never met Zhao Ji, Li Ruolan can fathom any emperor's mind.Under normal circumstances, as the king of a country, he would rather be bullied by foreign countries than let his subjects rebel against him.

If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. This is the consistent purpose of the monarchs of all dynasties. Whether Zhao Ji is wise or fatuous, there is absolutely no exception on this issue.

Chapter 656

Li Ruolan, who thought she had a plan, released Hu Sanniang on the afternoon of the third day.Hu Sanniang must be released in order to delay Bai Sheng's attack on the Xixia army.

Although she also knew that Bai Sheng would not be so easy to talk about in this matter, would letting go of Hu Sanniang resolve the hatred between them?If it was really that simple, why did Bai Sheng deliberately impersonate Bai Qin?Wouldn't it be over if you just fight with her?

She could guess that Bai Sheng's fundamental purpose must be to deprive her of everything she already had and destroy all her hopes. She knew that the hatred between her and Bai Sheng could not be resolved.

However, she couldn't keep Hu Sanniang by her side after all, because that would anger Bai Sheng, causing Bai Sheng to launch the final decisive battle immediately. She didn't know how Bai Sheng would kill her only 16 troops, but she I believe that Bai Sheng's method can always be unexpected, and it is very likely to use the method of a warlock.

She had seen Qiao Daoqing's spell in the teaching army field with her own eyes. Although the spell was once broken by Lingxing, the [-] elites in the city were wiped out in just one hour, which showed Bai Sheng's ruthless methods.
