After tossing about the magistrate's Yamen, Liu Guotai robbed the property inside and abducted the women's family members until dawn. The whole magistrate's backyard suffered, and all the women's homes in the mansion were poisoned by him and his men. It was very sad and miserable.
At dawn, Liu Guotai called all his men and announced the start of the army. They gathered at the gate of the city, and then opened the gate to welcome Liu's army.
Xiao Ning is a very cautious person. Although the other party has promised to join the Liu family army, he is worried that the other party will go back on its word and set up an ambush, so he ordered his deputy general Xiao Yuanhua to lead the army into the city first, control the four gates first, and then lead the army into the city himself.
Xiao Ning also sent troops when the roads were closed by heavy snow, but he was different from Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng. They sent troops urgently. Xiao Ning mainly made sufficient preparation. The preparation effort alone lasted for half a month, which made the soldiers do enough to keep warm against the cold and bring enough food and clothes to keep out the cold.
In this way, they had enough food and clothes to keep out the cold, so that the number of non combat attrition of soldiers was very small, and his soldiers maintained sufficient combat effectiveness. That is, such a prosperous military appearance frightened the Ming army in the city, so that Liu Guotai and others had no intention to resist and immediately tried to surrender.
Xiao Ning came to attack Hejian mansion. In fact, he used attack instead of defense. He didn't want to win this famous strong city. He knew that it was very difficult to win this strong city. The number of officers and soldiers guarding the other party's city was not below them. Moreover, it was cold now, and he lacked heavy siege tools. If he wanted to attack the city through a simple ladder, the casualties would be very heavy, but he didn't expect, Unexpectedly, the other party surrendered to him directly, which was beyond his expectation. Even if the other party put forward some unreasonable requirements, he agreed and controlled the city first.
Xiao Ning was surprised that he took the famous Hejian Prefecture in one fell swoop, which extended their influence to Hebei and directly peeped into beizhili. From here, they can directly impact Baoding and attack the capital area of Daming. It can be said that they reversed their adverse situation and greatly strengthened the protection of Shandong.
If the imperial court wants to win Shandong, it must first win Hejian mansion. This time, it's a strong city. There are no tens of thousands of troops. It's not easy for you to win it.
Xiao Ning led his army into Hejian Prefecture. He first controlled the four gates, and then controlled the important hubs in the city, officially completing his control of the city.
Then he appeared. When Xiao Ning appeared, Liu Guotai and others immediately moved forward, knelt down to him and said, "the end will greet General Xiao."
Xiao Ning was very happy when he saw the other party kneeling on the ground. He said, "General Liu, you can abandon the secret and surrender to my Liu Jiajun. This shows that you are a smart man. Today, you could have made a guarantee to you. As long as you are loyal to my Liu Jiajun, you can ensure that your senior officials have to do it, your horses have to ride, eat and drink spicy."
When Liu Guotai heard what the other party said, he was reassured. He said, "it all depends on the cultivation of the general. The last general has set up a banquet in the house! Welcome the general and invite the general to come!"
Xiao Ning said: "very good! But this wine can't be drunk. We must first improve the defense of Hejian mansion in case Hong Chengchou sends troops to attack and is beaten by him."
Liu Guotai said to him, "when Hong Chengshou heard the prestige of our army, he was scared to flee. Where dare he attack the city?"
Xiao Ning said to him, "be careful, there is no big mistake!"
Xiao Ning wouldn't learn from Liu Guotai. He hurried to set up defense when others came to the city. On the surface, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to attack Hejian mansion, because he had just withdrawn. If he came to attack, there would be no need to withdraw, but everything had an accident. When Hong Chengchou withdrew here, he didn't think they would lose Hejian mansion so soon, He still wanted to stick to the city, but he lost the city in the blink of an eye and lost all his peripheral vassal screens. This is a very dangerous thing. As a military expert, it is normal for him to send troops to seize it.
But Xiao Ning won't give him such a chance. If he dares to come, he will give him a good look.
Moreover, Xiao Ning doesn't trust Liu Guotai at all. He will relax only if he completely controls Hejian mansion in his own hands. As for the reception banquet mentioned by the other party, whether he doesn't drink the wine, does Xiao Ning lack a meal of wine?
Therefore, after entering the city, Liu Jiajun did not enter the camp to eat and drink. Instead, he quickly took over the important people here and entered Hejian mansion. He found that the city was withered. Hong Chengchou's army was stationed here for more than two months, but it turned into a mess. The rich people in the city walked almost the same, only the people who couldn't move, They tossed the chicken flying and the dog jumping, which was terrible.
Taking the warehouse of Hejian Prefecture as an example, the grain and Xiangyin in the warehouse were removed and became empty. To put it bluntly, they occupied Hejian Prefecture, but the grain and other materials in the city were basically consumed and basically gone. This is equivalent to an empty material city. He had to send grain from Linqing immediately to meet the needs of the army.
And Xiao Ning also heard that Liu Guotai killed and ruined the governor Du Wenhuan's family, but he didn't think so. Now they are enemies with Daming and have a life and death relationship. Since they are hostile forces, it's not too much to deal with them by any means.
When Xiao Ning took control of Hejian Prefecture, he began to divide defense areas with lie Guotai. He handed over half of the cities to the other party, and then said: "Ben will personally write to the Lord and ask for meritorious service for General Liu. General, you bring tens of thousands of people to vote and donate Hejian mansion. The Lord will grant you the position of division commander, which is equivalent to the chief soldier. In the future, we will be colleagues and need more attention."
Liu Guotai loved to hear this. He said happily, "please tell the general a lot of good words. What will come out at the end is from the general's care. In the future, only the general will follow."
Xiao Ning said with a smile: "very good! The Ming Dynasty is now sunset. My Liu family has risen strongly from Shandong and has won the world. Sooner or later, we will compete with the imperial court. When my lord sits in the Forbidden City, facing the South and back to the north, and ascends the throne as emperor, General Liu, you are also a meritorious Minister for the founding of the country. You will have great fame, wealth and high officials."
Liu Guotai heard the other party say so. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He hurriedly said, "please take more care of the general."
Liu Guotai was completely disappointed with Daming, so he surrendered immediately when the enemy came. Since he surrendered, he naturally hoped that the Liu family would rebel and become the emperor themselves. Otherwise, they would not have a good life. When the imperial army came and re liquidated, they would all be beheaded. Therefore, following the Liu family army is the only way out, and Liu family army is the only way out There are not many ways out, except rebellion or rebellion.
He would have had some concerns that Liu Jiajun would not rebel, but he was very happy to hear Xiao Ning, the main general of Liu Jiajun, say so and take all the responsibility. He said, "Du Wenhuan, the governor of Hejian, actually resisted our army's surrender, so he will be executed on the spot."
Xiao Ning said to him, "if you do it well, you are fully responsible."
After Liu Guotai got involved with Du Wenhuan's family, he was very happy, but he also knew that he had done some things too much and some absolutely. If Liu Jiajun wanted to investigate this matter, he would not be able to make a job, so he ambushed in advance and said hello, hoping that the other party would not be entangled in this matter. Xiao Ning was also very happy. He said on the spot that it was none of their business and exposed it. This was the case As a result, Liu Guotai was very relieved.
Xiao Ning said to him, "General Liu, when you first came, when you went to Jinan to meet the Lord, Jane is in the heart. Why don't you worry about not coming out?"
Liu Guotai said, "the last general is naturally willing to go to Jinan to meet the Lord, but when our army first came, we didn't make any achievements. It's really shameless to see the Lord. After we made achievements, we can go to see the Lord. General, you have face."
Xiao Ning asked him to go to Jinan. In fact, he wanted him to separate from his army and take the opportunity to assimilate his army. Liu Guotai also understood each other's ideas very well, so he said he would not go to Jinan for the time being. It was not too late to go to Jinan until he stood firm in the Liu army and controlled his own army.
Xiao Ning was upset when he saw that the other party didn't promise to go to Jinan. He knew that the other party was a soldier and would only seize the power of war.
You have no problem playing this game in Daming, but if you play this game in Liu Jiajun's camp, you will be dead. Liu Jiajun has no warlords, no mountains, and no so-called listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda. It can be said that Xiao Ning has the right to agree to the conditions made by Xiao Ning. Even Xiao Ning doesn't have such power and status, Not to mention giving Liu Guotai such power and status.
Therefore, after Xiao Ning took control of Hejian mansion, the first thing was to control the other party's military power so that the other party could not make trouble, and then slowly clean up Liu Guotai.
Liu Guotai is not such a capable person as sun chuanting, and he doesn't have any skills. He is a veteran oil son and an old army head. Relying on his soldiers, he does evil and bad things. However, if his military power is stripped off, he will be nothing.
Xiao Ning's meaning is that if the other party knows the truth and is willing to cooperate, he will continue to lead the army. If the other party doesn't know the truth and still clings to the previous set, and dares to play with the mountain in the Liu family army, he will directly deprive him of his military power and drive him home.
