Section 218: The Turks March (8)
After the city of Youzhou that had just been occupied under stability, Liu Shan began to face several choices. One was to continue to stay in Hebei and take down several important Hebei towns that were still in the hands of the Hebei army. This was very simple. With the lessons of Youzhou, Dou Jiande would let the Liangzhou army take over the other cities occupied by the Hebei army without bloodshed. Liu Shan also had the confidence to take down those cities that were not in the hands of the Hebei army. Liu Shan understood that the largest local force in Hebei was Dou Jiande. After taking down Dou Jiande, the other forces were just small shrimps in this pool of water in Hebei.
The second one is that it is very close to **, but the situation of ** is still unclear at this time. The only news that Liu Shan could get was that **'s army was fighting with the Western Turkic army, but what was really going on at this time? Liu Shan didn't know at all, let alone where the Western Turkic army marched at this time, and even didn't know whether the Western Turkic army continued to increase its troops. Liu Shan could only say that he was confused about **'s situation at this time.
Faced with these two choices, Liu Shan naturally tends to gain a foothold in Hebei and then seek the Turks.
However, seeing Sinan sending soldiers to the Turks every day to inquire about the news, she is always concerned about the situation of **. Once there is any adverse news, Sinan looks full of tears, and Liu Shan is also heartbroken. Moreover, the news that ** was attacked by the Western Turks had already reached the grassland soldiers who supported Liu Shan, which caused a considerable shock among the grassland soldiers.
After all, these soldiers are from **. At this time, ** is attacked. I don’t know how my hometown is going, and my parents are going. It’s strange that the morale of the army can be stable.
The two directions cannot be settled, which has become the most troublesome thing for Liu Shan at this time.
At the end of June, Sinan ran to Liu Shan’s place again. Seeing Sinan at the door, Liu Shan pulled her in.
"How is it? What's the news there?" Liu Shan was also very anxious to know about the news of **. Only by knowing the specific situation can we make the next judgment. Sinan was the clearest about the news of the Turks. So as soon as Sinan came in, Liu Shan asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, but I know my mother is fine. Look, this is what my mother asked someone to bring to me. I don't know what the above means." Sinan obviously felt better at this time. From the accident to now, Sinan has not had any news about Princess Yicheng, and she has been worried about death. At this time, there was finally news, so she naturally felt better.
Sinan said and handed Liu Shan a piece of parchment paper. Liu Shan saw that the parchment paper had been kneaded and deformed, with a faint sweat stain on it. It was because Sinan kept looking at it after he got it. Thinking of Sinan's mood, Liu Shan couldn't help feeling sad. Sinan's mother was anxious, but she couldn't share the burden with her at this time. Liu Shan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then opened the parchment paper.
But as soon as the parchment was opened, Liu Shan frowned. At this time, Liu Shan finally understood why Sinan still had a deep brow after receiving the news of Princess Yicheng. Because Princess Yicheng's letters were not so much letters as a huge mystery.
Liu Shan looked at the parchment carefully and saw several animals drawn with light ink, scattered on the parchment. This was the first time Liu Shan saw this puzzle-like letter, which was quite fresh.
Liu Shan looked at it several times and noticed that the two hungry wolves fighting to bite in the north on the paper, the two hungry wolves were as big as the size of them, and the biting was very fierce. Both wolves were already covered with scars, but the fighting to bite was still continuing, without any intention of stopping.
Liu Shan understood that the two wolves meant the ** and the Western Turks. The biting of the two wolves was intimately in line with the war between the ** and the Western Turks at this time. The war caused the two northern wolves to shed blood. Princess Yicheng painted two wolves that were exactly the same size to fight, which obviously meant that at this time, the ** and the Western Turks fought each other, depleting the strength of the Turks, and greatly deteriorating the strength of the ** and the Western Turks in this battle.
After Liu Shan understood this meaning, he also knew why Princess Yicheng wrote such letters in this way so cautiously. You should know that Princess Yicheng's meaning was obviously to greatly damage the strength of the entire Turkic nation through this war. If this meaning was made known to the ** army still here in Liu Shan at that time, it would be great.
Although this army is an army under the control of Princess Yicheng, for Liu Shan or Princess Yicheng, they are all foreign armies. The so-called "if not our race, their hearts will be different, which is definitely not empty talk. This is what Liu Shan must do to guard against the Turkic nation, and it is also what Princess Yicheng did.
Liu Shan understood the meaning of the two wolves, and then looked to the lower place on the east side, where there was a snail crawling slowly. The snail was carrying a heavy shell on his back, and the difficult crawling movement was portrayed vividly by Princess Yicheng. Liu Shan looked at it a few times and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Liu Shan had already understood that this snail was himself. The snail crawled very slowly, which means that Princess Yicheng made his pace slower so that the two Turkic forces could shed more blood. Princess Yicheng's meaning was to sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The snail carries a heavy shell, which means that when he goes to the Turks, he must bring all his strength. Liu Shan thought about it, and the journey of the Turks could not be as simple as last time. This time he goes to unify the Turks and take down this strong neighbor that has always been in the north of the Han people, so that the Han people can get rid of the situation where the north has been invaded by grassland ethnic groups. This trip to the Turks involves the important task of peace and peace in the next ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years. Liu Shan already understood the weight of it, and he had to try his best at this time and bring all his strength to go. This is a necessary condition.
Liu Shan turned his gaze to the lower middle of the parchment, where a tiger was facing a turtle with its teeth and claws. Liu Shan smiled and sighed helplessly as Princess Yicheng's talent and mind.
The tiger is majestic, has the aura of domineering, and has the aura of a king who calls the world to respond. This shows that although Princess Yicheng hates Li Tang very much, Princess Yicheng also admits that Li Tang does have this very powerful strength at this time.
Needless to say, the turtle is the Luoyang that King Zheng and the one he owns. Luoyang is the turtle's shell, which is thick and hard. At this time, the tiger has nowhere to catch it, so it can only hold on. But according to the meaning shown in Princess Yicheng's painting, it is obvious that the tiger has an absolute advantage, and it is only a matter of time to defeat the turtle.
