Chapter seven hundred and nineteenth sweep

Song and Liao formed an alliance again. Although both sides of the alliance were inseparable from each other, the Song Dynasty mainly wanted to use the Liao Kingdom to restrain Dangxiang through this alliance, and at least it would be apart from the relationship between Liao Kingdom and Dangxiang. As long as they did not form an alliance, it would be beneficial to the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom hoped to use this alliance to alleviate the pressure on the Liao Kingdom by the Song Dynasty and gain time to resolve internal problems.

However, no matter what the purpose of the two countries is, the alliance has been determined very smoothly. The two sides reached an alliance to jointly exclude the living space of Dangxiang, such as not dealing with Dangxiang, isolating Dangxiang from regular, military, politically, etc., and even if necessary, they can agree to send troops to attack Dangxiang.

When Yelu Renxian left the capital with the covenant, Li Zhang did not go to see him off. After all, the two were not very familiar with each other. Although Li Zhang admired each other's talents very much, with Yelu Renxian's loyalty to the Liao Kingdom, it would be difficult for him to surrender to the Song Dynasty unless he had to.

Just as Yelu Ren left the capital first, Zhou Liang commanded an army of more than a thousand people to break through the walls of the other party, and the guards fled in all directions. However, he ordered very coldly: "Kill into the city and do not seal the sword!"

As Zhou Liang's order was conveyed, the more than a thousand people below immediately howled excitedly, and they rushed into this small native city like they were desperate. The so-called "not sealing a knife" means that the army did not have to obey any military disciplines and could kill people at will, and the things they snatched belonged to them. This is also a common method used in the army to inspire the morale of the soldiers.

The small native city in front of me is actually more like a village than a city. It is surrounded by tall logs as a city wall. There are low wooden houses everywhere in the city and native people running away naked.

As Zhou Liang and his subordinates rushed into the city, no one in the natives dared to resist. Zhou Liang and his group not only killed people, but also set fire. Soon the entire town fell into a sea of ​​fire, and the city was filled with dead bodies of natives. Zhou Liang did not even frown at this.

After the entire town was burned to a white ground, Zhou Liang asked someone to clean the battlefield, then cut off his thumbs and put them back, and used their mouths to spread his words. If anyone dared to resist wherever they went in the future, then this town would be their role model.

"General, brothers have robbed too many things, which has seriously slowed down the speed of the march. It's time to go back!" At this moment, someone came to Zhou Liang and whispered to the point of suggestion.

During this period, Zhou Liang led them to attack cities and land outside, and more than a dozen large and small cities were destroyed by their hands. If the local natives were smarter and surrendered immediately when they saw them, Zhou Liang might have let most of the natives leave, but if any natives dared to resist, the entire city would be destroyed.

Zhou Liang turned his head and looked at the more than a thousand people under his command. After they captured Gantuli Port, Dong Qing finally couldn't stop him. The more than a thousand people he left behind guarded the port, and the remaining more than a thousand people followed him to fight everywhere. It has to be said that the natives on the island are quite rich, especially the island seems to be rich in gold. Many native temples enshrined gold, jewelry and so on, which also made them gain a lot.

"Go back and pile the heads of the natives into Jingguan, and those natives forget the lessons they learned today!" Zhou Liang thought for a moment and finally nodded, but gave another very cruel order.

However, the more than a thousand people under Zhou Liang had been trained by him. During this period, they didn't even remember how many people they killed. In their eyes, these natives were almost the same as wild beasts, so they would not feel guilty if they killed them. With Zhou Liang's order, the natives' heads were quickly cut off and sent to the city gate, and then piled up into a Jingguan several meters high.

Zhou Liang then ordered the return trip. Although they had been out for a long time, they were mainly active around Gantuli Port. Zhou Liang's idea was very simple, that is, before the Buddha's Kingdom reacted, they would clean up the native forces around Gantuli Port. In this way, even if the Buddha's Kingdom wanted to attack the port in the future, they would not be able to draw troops from the surrounding areas, which would be much less threat to the port.

Two days later, Zhou Liang led his men back to the port. At this time, Gantuli Port became well organized under Dong Qing's governance. Of course, this was not his own credit. In fact, in addition to bringing Zhou Liang and others as force support, Dong Qing also had several special people around him.

These people have a very big background. They were all officials of the Song Dynasty before and even had political achievements. They were only guilty of serious crimes and were exiled to Leizhou or Qiongzhou, but they were exiled to Nanyang under the intervention of Li Zhang. Li Zhang also promised these people that as long as they stayed in Gantuli Port for five years, they would be able to regain their freedom in five years. It is up to them to decide whether to stay here or return to the Song Dynasty.

Originally, for the crimes of these criminals, they would probably have to stay on Hainan Island for the rest of their lives to fish, but Li Zhang gave them a chance. Although the conditions in Nanyang are worse than Hainan Island, they could only grit their teeth and agree for future freedom. These criminals were carefully selected by Li Zhang, and each of them has rich experience in waiting. With their assistance, Dong Qing, a merchant-born, was able to manage the entire port in an orderly manner.

Dong Qing did not agree with Zhou Liang's initiative before, because he thought the other party was too risky. If someone took advantage of Dong Qing's out and rushed to the port, they could not resist at all. However, it seems that Zhou Liang's decision is very correct. During this period, as Zhou Liang and his friends conquered the cities and land, they also established a great reputation among the natives. Not to mention anything else, all the natives in the port have become very honest recently, and they dare not look up when they see them, the Song people.

"General Zhou, thank you for your hard work during this period. I was too conservative before. Now the surrounding cities have been cleaned up. You shouldn't go out again next, right?" Dong Qing asked someone to hold a banquet in the newly built city lord's mansion in the port, and then personally poured a drink for Zhou Liang. He is a businessman, and only depends on the pros and cons of doing things. Now Zhou Liang proves that he is right, so he immediately admits his mistake.
