Section 213: The Turks March (3)
However, a good method must have disadvantages. The method Liu Shan used is that the disadvantages are very obvious. Liu Shan killed almost all the powerful local people, and they represented the local ruling forces, or the local ruling class. Or, it can be said that they were the ruling class of landlords in the early Tang Dynasty.
When Liu Shan killed these people, he was vaguely against the ruling class of this era. If it were others, he would definitely be very concerned, just like some anti-kings, they rely on these people to pay for them money, food and people, so how could they offend these people? And some anti-kings are simply powerful and landlords, so how could they go against this class? Even if those rebel leaders from peasant army were very eager to reach this class, they would not really go against this class.
But Liu Shan didn't care about the power of these people. As long as they could win the hearts of the local people, Liu Shan would not care about those few people. For Liu Shan, they were just synonyms for crimes. They either took advantage of tricks, bullying men and women, or doing illegal activities, or using the care of his relatives to run rampant in the village.
At this time, they were all in great trouble. At the call of Liu Shan's army, the local people brought out all these local snakes and tigers. They were very powerful, and some even privately kept many servants to protect the hospital. However, in front of the elite soldiers, the servants to protect the hospital and the decorations were just the same as the same term.
After killing these local bullies, Liu Shan continued to spend money, and the money was naturally made from the homes of those landlords and bullies.
Holding the murder knife in one hand and loosening the wallet with the other. Soon, the Liangzhou army established its dominance in various occupied areas. With the unanimous support of the local people, the Liangzhou army slowly expanded its occupied areas in Hebei.
At this time, Liu Shan also knew that in some places, the Hebei Army's garrison was quite strong, and these places were often places where the grassland people were unable to control it. Liu Shan often wanted to get out of the way for these places, so when the Liangzhou Army arrived in Hebei in June, the early occupation mission was quite smooth.
On June 13, most parts of Hebei were controlled by the Liangzhou army, and before several big cities, the Liangzhou army had already set up a formation, with a look of troops coming to the city.
"King Xia, I invite you today. I just want you to let the soldiers in Youzhou City open the city gate." Liu Shan looked at the majestic city in front of him, and then looked at King Xia who was brought by the soldiers. Although King Xia had become a prisoner at this time, Liu Shan's people had never abused the former Lord of Hebei from beginning to end. However, when he heard Liu Shan's words, King Xia couldn't help but burst into anger and creaked his finger joints. Looking at Liu Shan in front of him, King Xia really wanted to go up and twist the other party's neck. But he also knew that the person in front of him was not his skill.
The ones who can deal with it were except when he first met Liu Shan. Later, King Xia met Liu Shan several times. There were no guards around Liu Shan, or the guards were far away. King Xia was not bound to his hands and feet. It was not that King Xia looked at Liu Shan's back and went forward to fight. But after fighting twice, both times they were a humiliating ending. The other party always knocked him to the ground without using two or three moves. However, he attacked twice, and the young man seemed not angry. When he saw him, he simply held his back to him. The only thing he could respond was silence.
"King Xia, you and I don't want to watch the soldiers in the city die. They are your soldiers, and I hope they will be my soldiers in the future. I am afraid you still have the mentality of Youzhou City being strong, and the soldiers in the city can fight against my army. You seem to have forgotten that Hulao Pass is also a powerful pass in the Central Plains, but Hulao Pass is only one thing different from a paper wall in front of my army, that is, it is not as white as paper walls." Liu Shan's words were very casual. Looking at Youzhou City in front of him, Liu Shan recalled the scene of Si Nan crying in front of him. The soldiers of the Western Turks had already attacked the ground of **
Here, when she was considering and missing her mother, Sinan either burst into tears or was reluctant to eat and eat these days. Liu Shan didn't know how to persuade her. Liu Shan could understand Sinan's mood. His mother was at this time. Moreover, Princess Yicheng married into the Turks when she was young. At this time, the Sui Dynasty of her era had disappeared, and replaced one by one, with anti-kings under the banner of anti-Sui. No matter which anti-king in the Central Plains, it was impossible for the proud princess Yicheng to be taken in, and the proud princess could not come to the Central Plains unless it was the land of the Great Sui Dynasty. In other words, Princess Yicheng could not leave the royal court.
Princess Yicheng stayed in the royal court, and the army of the Western Turks was definitely not something that the army of the ** can resist. Then, the one who greeted Princess Yicheng was naturally closer and closer. However, with Hebei, there were thousands of mountains and rivers and a long journey, Sinan was worried about his mother's safety, but he could not rush to his mother and learned that his mother was safe. It was not normal to be sad and crying after missing her.
At this time, Liu Shan was deeply trapped in the dilemma of Hebei. It would be impossible to leave here for a while. After all, the matter here in Hebei has not been dealt with yet.
On the one hand, Sinan and Si's mother were eager to control Hebei, and on the other hand, Liu Shan could not control Hebei in a short period of time. In the end, Liu Shan had no choice but to take out the move of King Xia and let King Xia come forward to control the situation in Hebei. However, Liu Shan didn't know whether King Xia would be willing to submit.
"Liu Shan, I have been here in Youzhou for several years. I am still confident in the city defense here. If Youzhou is really like you said, like paper, you can let your cavalry break through the city walls of Youzhou!" Liu Shan said, and King Xia rarely retorted, and then fell into silence again, looking at the ancient and majestic city in front of him.
"Caval, you and I know some soldiers. My cavalry really do not have the ability to break through the Youzhou city wall, but do you still remember the loud noise that night of Hulao? If I remember correctly, after the loud noise, the nearly seven or eight feet of the city wall of Hulao collapsed. King Xia, you said that Youzhou city defense is strong, I admit that, no matter how strong the Youzhou city defense is, is as strong as Hulao?" Liu Shan still had a calm face. He was afraid that King Xia in front of him would not speak, as long as the other party spoke.
At this time, King Xia's expression had changed several times. He had also contacted his captured soldiers these days, and even Liu Shan deliberately let him stay with the soldiers several times. Of course, he knew the explosion in the Huzhu that night, and also knew that there was a city wall rumbling down the tower in the explosion. However, King Xia always thought that it was a coincidence, and that the power that could cause the city wall to collapse dozens of meters was not believed to be able to control it, but looking at Liu Shan's expression at this time, Liu Shan seemed to have mastered the ability to collapse dozens of meters of city walls.
"Huzhu is just a coincidence. I will never believe that you can open a few feet of gap in Youzhou City." Before King Xia could finish his words, at Liu Shan's instructions, several soldiers took a package to Liu Shan and King Xia.
"There are some things here that may change the understanding of King Xia." Liu Shan said, and several soldiers had opened the package. It was a gunpowder bag made by Liu Shan in Liangzhou. At this time, the soldiers quickly took a few gunpowder bags and stuffed the gunpowder bags under the rocks.
"Please look at King Xia!" At Liu Shan's instructions, the gunpowder pack was ignited, and Liu Shan and King Xia both stared at the fire line in their eyes.
