At this time, Liu Shan wanted to give up Hebei and send troops to the Turks, so naturally everyone had to guess why Liu Shan did it. But at this time, these speculations could not be said in the court. What they could say and discuss might be the only thing they could do about how to take over Hebei.

In fact, in early August, Chang'an had already received news that the troops in Hebei were frequently mobilized, and the King of Han seemed to have made some moves. At this time, he received the exact news and realized that the King of Han was going to send troops to the Turks.

Those who knew this news naturally thought that the King of Han had actually mobilized troops for a long time, and this comment was actually just a formality. But who would be so stupid that he said that the King of Han was not, and the good or bad of the King of Han was not what they could say at this time, at least they could not say it in the court.

Besides, they also knew that the emperor could not know the news they could get. It seems that the emperor was just angry at the King of Han. However, when a person has enough power, he no longer needs to listen to other people's orders. If this is put on some people, perhaps this note will be redundant. Everyone understands that strength is actually the most important thing. To put it bluntly, the strength in troubled times is the army. Whoever has more troops and is good at the army will keep his word.

Some people also understood a truth when they saw the memorial. At this time, King Han did not have the idea of ​​breaking up with Li Tang.

They were not very clear about what was going on in the commentary at this time, but it is undeniable that the King of Han gave up Hebei, which was not a bad thing. You must know that Hebei has been a place for military strategists since ancient times. In the past, it was said that the men of Yan and Zhao were the place where heroes were produced, and the place where heroes were produced. Looking at the whole world, Li Tang had established his own dominance at this time. To be honest, Li Tang had not yet established a rule in a big way. Perhaps only Hebei and Jiangnan were the only ones. At this time, the King of Han gave up Hebei, which was a good thing no matter what.

Regardless of Chang'an at this time, it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, Youzhou City.

Youzhou in August is still very hot. Although it is close to the northern border, the climate of Youzhou is closer to the Central Plains. In the morning, there is little fog. The fog is not big. The thin fog is swept through the clear sound of horse hooves. The black horses walk on the misty city streets, giving people a feeling of emptiness. The black-armored cavalry sits upright on the horses, and rows of cavalry appear one after another on the streets in the morning. The mist flows around the horses' hooves, and the war horses sniff. There is no sound of thunderous hooves, but only the sound of horse hooves coming out of the mist, like a thin soft tone, rather than a turbulent and shocking symphony.

At the gate of Youzhou, the city gate had been opened with the cooperation of soldiers. At the gate of the deep and heavy Youzhou city, the cavalry with black horses and black armor and black spears drove outward from the gate. The leading cavalry held a large flag in their hands, without wind, but after the horses stepped on, the flag still waved and spread out. The flag was embroidered with the upright and elegant character Han, indicating the belonging of this army. They were all the troops of the newly enfeoffed Han King of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why he was holding the banner of King Han was probably because Liu Shan wanted to show that he did not want to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

After the cavalry team opened the city gate, they quickly gathered, and the black war horses immediately formed a black ocean, and the ocean became larger and larger, thicker and more prosperous.

The sun had not yet risen at this time, and the army gathered in the fog, without any confusion or noise. All you can hear was the sound of horse hooves trampling and war horses neighing, which shows from one side that this is an army with very strict military discipline.

They are not other troops, but the ace army and heavy armored cavalry in the Liangzhou army.

In fact, at the beginning of August, the Hebei Army headquarters in southern Hebei had already begun to mobilize, and the Hebei Army troops stationed in the south moved to the north one after another. They received orders and began to assemble to the northern part of Hebei. And the order was very clear that all the troops gathered to the north, even including the fire-headed soldiers and the miscellaneous soldiers.

The order puzzled many people. Even if the army is mobilized, it is impossible not to leave one soldier or one soldier. However, this time the order is not to leave one soldier or one soldier. Although the military order is very strange, the order from King Xia is absolutely true, and there is nothing incomprehensible in the order itself.

At the beginning, these stationed troops also considered the security and defense issues of the southern towns after they left, but the orders had been obtained and they had to complete the orders.

The situation that followed was very natural and strange. On the one hand, the Hebei Army successively gave up southern towns and started moving north. On the other hand, the Qin King Army, which had just ended the Central Plains War, followed closely behind the Hebei Army like a carnivorous carnivore, and quickly took over the towns abandoned by the Hebei Army.

These are naturally under Liu Shan's calculations. The Central Plains War had ended, but the Qin King's army had not left the Central Plains. At this time, the areas under the rule of Li Tang, except for Jiangnan, Hebei did not really fall under the jurisdiction of Li Tang. Unfortunately, there were several small separatist forces around Hebei. Although these forces were not large, they also had the ambition to annex Hebei. In this case, once his army evacuated and the Qin King received the news, he had to quickly take over the defense of these towns. They had to accept it. Once they did not accept it, the surrounding forces would inevitably quickly occupy these places. You must know that the evacuation of the Hebei army was very thorough. These towns were equal to unprepared areas, and whoever came first would belong to whoever came first.

If he can take Hebei without bleeding, the King of Qin will naturally not miss this opportunity. You must know that as long as he is a little slower, if he wants to take these places, he must rely on bloody battles. It is certain that these places can be won, but if he wants to bleed, the King of Qin doesn't want to. Therefore, Liu Shan created a situation that forced the King of Qin to take over.

The King of Qin was the representative of Li Tang. The King of Qin took over Hebei's defense was equivalent to Li Tang taking over Hebei's defense. After the King of Qin took over, he had to deal with the matter in Hebei quickly. It would take time for the military newspaper to be sent to Chang'an. The memorandum that Liu Shan gave to Chang'an was sent to Chang'an before the King of Qin.

The result was a situation that made Li Tang very helpless. On the one hand, Li Tang received the request of the King of Han, asking Li Tang to send troops to take over Hebei's defense. When the Li Tang court was considering this matter, their King of Qin was already doing this matter.

By August 11, the Qin King's army had actually reached the border of Youzhou. At this time, Li Yuan from the Li Tang court was still asking his ministers whether they should take over Hebei's defense. He didn't know at this time that his second son had already taken over most of Hebei's defense.

On August 12th, at the junction of Hebei and the Turkic Grassland at this time, the Turkic Grassland, that is, the border of Mongolian Grassland in later generations, flags were everywhere, guns were like seas, and in the cool breeze of the hounding border, soldiers like sea tides were filled with people's sight. Looking up, there were troops everywhere and war horses everywhere.

After obtaining the Hebei Army, Liu Shan's military strength soared, and Liu Shan's army had a characteristic, that is, the number of cavalry occupied a large share.

The Liangzhou army was all cavalry, and the grassland army was all cavalry. This was the cavalry of 170,000. Although the Hebei army had not many cavalry, there were nearly 40,000, which was the cavalry of more than 200,000.

Liu Shan, who came out of the Central Plains, had a cavalry of more than half of the total military strength at this time. The Han army had not reached this scale at any time. There were 200,000 cavalry, and in all dynasties, Liu Shan had undoubtedly reached its peak. Moreover, among these cavalry, the crossbow cavalry, heavy armored cavalry, grassland rangers, and Hebei light cavalry are undoubtedly the most excellent types of cavalry.
