Chapter 719: Sweeping
Song and Liao formed an alliance again, although both sides of the alliance this time were ghosts, the Great Song Dynasty mainly wanted to use this alliance to use the Liao State to contain the party, at least to separate the relationship between the Liao State and the party items, as long as they did not form an alliance, it would be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty. The Liao State hoped to use this alliance to relieve the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty on the Liao State, so as to gain time to solve the internal problems.
However, regardless of the purpose of the two countries, the alliance was still very smoothly determined, and the two sides reached an alliance to jointly squeeze out the living space of the party, such as not trading with the party, isolating the party from the regular, military, and political aspects, and even agreeing to send troops to attack the party if necessary.
When Yeluren first left the capital with the covenant, Li Zhang did not go to see each other, after all, the two were not very familiar with each other, although Li Zhang admired each other's talents, but with Yelurenxian's loyalty to the Liao State, unless it was to the point of last resort, it was difficult for him to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty.
At the same time that Yeluren left the capital first, in a small native city on the Buddha Island in Nanyang, Zhou Liang commanded an army of more than 1,000 people to break through the opponent's city wall, and the natives guarding it also scattered and fled at this time, but he ordered very coldly: "Kill into the city, don't seal the sword!" ”
As Zhou Liang's order was conveyed, the more than 1,000 people below immediately howled excitedly, and one by one they entered this small local city as if they were not killed, the so-called non-sealing of the knife means that the army does not have to abide by any military discipline when they enter the city, they can kill people at will, and the things they grab are also their own, which is also a common means to motivate the morale of the soldiers in the army.
The small city in front of me was more like a village than a city, surrounded by tall logs as walls, and full of low wooden houses and bare-assed fleeing natives.
As Zhou Liang and his subordinates entered the city, no one in the city dared to resist at all, Zhou Liang's gang not only killed people, but also set fire, and soon the whole city fell into a sea of fire, and the city was full of dead corpses of the natives, but Zhou Liang did not even frown.
After the entire town was burned to the ground, Zhou Liang asked people to clean up the battlefield, and then cut off the thumbs of some prisoners of war and put them back, and passed on their words through their mouths.
"General, the brothers have robbed too much, which has seriously slowed down the march, and it's time to go back!" At this moment, I saw someone come to Zhou Liang's side and whispered.
During this time, Zhou Liang took them outside to attack the city and plunder the land, more than a dozen large and small cities were all destroyed in their hands, if the local natives were smarter and surrendered immediately when they saw them, Zhou Liang might still let most of the natives leave, but if the natives dared to resist, the entire city would be destroyed in a burn.
Zhou Liang also turned his head to look at the more than 1,000 people under his command when he heard the words of his subordinates, after they beat the port of Gantoli before, Dong Qing finally failed to stop him, and the more than 1,000 people he left behind guarded the port, and the remaining more than 1,000 people followed him to fight everywhere, I have to say that the natives on the island are quite rich, especially the island seems to be rich in gold, and many of the natives' temples are enshrined in gold, jewelry, etc., which also makes them harvest.
"Go back, pile up the heads of the natives into a Jingguan, and let those natives forget today's lesson!" Zhou Liang thought for a moment and finally nodded, but gave a very murderous order.
However, the more than 1,000 people under Zhou Liang have already been trained by him, and they don't even remember how many people they killed during this time, anyway, in their eyes, these natives are almost the same as beasts, so they will not feel guilty about killing as much as they want, and with Zhou Liang's order, the heads of the natives were quickly cut off and sent to the city gate, and then piled up into a Jingguan that is several zhang high.
Then Zhou Liang ordered to return, although they came out for a long time, but mainly around the port of Ganduri, Zhou Liang's idea is very simple, that is, before the Buddha Kingdom reacts, the native forces around the port will be swept away, so that even if the Buddha Kingdom wants to attack the port in the future, it will not be able to draw troops from the surrounding area, which is also a lot less of a threat to the port.
Two days later, Zhou Liang led his men back to the port, and at this time, the port of Gantuoli also became orderly under Dong Qing's governance, of course, this is not his credit alone, in fact, Dong Qing brought Zhou Liang and these people as a force guarantee, there are several special people around him.
These people have quite a lot of background, they used to be officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and even had quite a lot of political achievements, but they committed a big crime, and they were supposed to be exiled to Leizhou or Qiongzhou, but they were exiled to Nanyang under Li Zhang's intervention, and Li Zhang also promised these people that as long as they stayed in Gantuoli Harbor for five years, they would be free after five years, and it was up to them to decide whether to stay here or return to the Great Song Dynasty.
Originally, with the crimes of these criminals, it is estimated that they can only stay on Hainan Island to fish for the rest of their lives, but Li Zhang gave them a chance, although the conditions in Nanyang are worse than those on Hainan Island, but for the sake of freedom in the future, they can only grit their teeth and agree, and these prisoners are carefully selected by Li Zhang, everyone has rich experience in waiting, with their assistance, Dong Qing, who was born as a businessman, can also manage the entire port in an orderly manner.
Dong Qing didn't agree with Zhou Liang to take the initiative before, because he thought that the other party was too risky, in case someone took advantage of Dong Qing's outing to kill the port, they couldn't resist at all, but now it seems that Zhou Liang's decision is very correct, during this time, with Zhou Liang they attacked the city and plundered the land, and also established a great reputation among the natives, not to mention that the natives in the port have all become very honest recently, and they don't dare to raise their heads when they see them.
"General Zhou, I've worked hard for you this time, I was too conservative before, and now that the surrounding cities have been swept away, you shouldn't go out again, right?" Dong Qing asked people to set up a banquet in the newly built city lord's mansion in the port, and then personally poured wine for Zhou Liang, he is a businessman, and he only looks at the pros and cons of doing things, and now Zhou Liang has proved that he is right, so he immediately admitted his mistake.
Zhou Liang still looked cold, but he still picked up the wine poured by Dong Qing and drank it all, which was already his response to Dong Qing, and then asked directly: "Is there any news from the Buddha Death Kingdom, and when will their reinforcements come?" ”
