The news of Xuanyuan Mountain has finally arrived.

It only took a month for Cui Jin to be valued by the mountain lord Guo Shi.

Cui Jin is not only capable, both civil and military, and has outstanding key appearances, and was favored by Guo Shi's daughter Guo Furong as soon as he went up the mountain.

In the letter, Guo Shi intended to call Cui Jin as his son-in-law.

Since the fashion of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the style is extremely important, that is, the appearance and bearing, after Wei Jue, the grandson of Wei Xuan, crossed to the south, he entered Jiankang, attracting the whole city to admire his demeanor, and he was seen alive to death, leaving an allusion to "watching and killing Wei Jue".

Good-looking people can eat in any era and place.

As long as Guo Shi is not blind, Cui Jin will definitely be reused.

If Cui Jin becomes Xuanyuan Mountain's son-in-law, then the alliance between the two sides will not be a big problem.

"Cui Sima also said that Xuanyuan Mountain is quite powerful, there are several strong generals, and they cannot be taken by force, so let the general stay for a while." The cronies arched their hands.

"It doesn't matter if you take it or not, return to my brother, his safety is the top priority, if you can't do anything, you should go back quickly."

"The villain will convey the general's wishes."

Heiyun Mountain is in training, and it is not appropriate to collide with a strong enemy.

Back then, Li Ju was able to fight back and forth with Liu Cong and Shi Le, and his descendants must have some ability.

Calm down in everything.

As long as Heiyun Mountain loses once, the people's hearts that have just accumulated will disappear.

Since he could not expand to the south of Xuanyuan Mountain, Li Yue could only advance westward into Funiu Mountain.

While plundering the population and food, he also trained troops in actual combat.

Training is only the foundation, and to truly build up combat strength, we still have to rely on actual combat.

Although the strength of Heiyun Mountain has been reduced, its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and in the past, a village with a size of 1,000 people needed to use 1,500 people to raid, but now 500 people can take it.

The scouts also became more and more experienced, and the soldiers attacked head-on, they raided from the path, flanked on both sides, and left more than 100 people in ambush in the mountain pass, setting traps, waiting for those who escaped.

So in addition to scouts and meticulous work in the scout camp, there was another capture army.

Specializes in capturing people who have escaped.

In the past, once dispatched, the stockade of 1,000 people could often only capture two or three hundred people, and they were still old and weak who couldn't run.

People are not animals, they have legs, feet and brains, and if you drill into the mountains, you can't find them at all.

With the capturing army, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and five or six hundred people can be captured at a time, and the proportion of young and strong people is also increasing.

The population of Black Cloud Mountain grew to 8,000 people.

But there is also a serious problem ahead: there is not enough food, and even the crops replanted in the field cannot support so many people.

Under the sweep of the scouts, the beasts in the mountain also became smart and alert, and ran away from the area of Heiyun Mountain and ran deep into the mountains.

The scouts brought back less and less prey, and it was difficult for the trained soldiers to eat a bite of meat.

Li Yue could only go to Bo Wu.

"Why hasn't Guangzong's food come yet?"

It's been two months, and even if it's climbing, it's crawling.

Guangzong is not far from Xingyang, and it is separated by a Yellow River, three hundred miles.

Bo Wu drank dizzily as usual, "I am also very confused about this matter, I have sent someone to Guangzong to inquire a few days ago, and there should be an echo today." ”

Li Yue asked for food, not an echo, and without food, the training of soldiers and the inspection of scouts had to be stopped.

"Will you be robbed halfway?"

The banks of the Yellow River are not very peaceful, the Qiang people take the lead in robbing, the Di people and the Qiang people follow the robbery, and the south of the river is also swarming with thieves, and the leopards are doing the work of blocking the road and killing people, and those dock forts are also doing the same.

It is self-evident what a thousand stones of grain means in this world.

However, Bo Wu's reply did not come, and Li Yue's scouts first inquired about the news.

They found clues along the Yellow River in the vicinity of Liyang County.

More than thirty corpses were found, each with a secret mark indicating their identity, a wooden plaque, or a uniform scar.

There were already beggars among the scouts, so they found their traces.

Wei Shan was furious, "What a bold man, he even dares to rob the food of the begging army!" ”

Li Yue looked at the location of the found body marked by the scout on the map, and the opposite side was Fangtou.

Fangtou is an important ferry, guarding the north of the river and looking down on the south of the river.

In the ninth year of Han Jian'an, King Wu of Wei was in Shuikou, and the big fang wood was a giant weir, so it had the name of the fangtou.

The Yellow River, Qishui, Baigou, Qinghe River meet here, from this place to the north to Yecheng, the distance is not long, and then there is no waterway, to attack Yecheng, first of all, it is necessary to take the head of Fang.

From time to time, there are rumors that Fang Tou has the royal spirit of Wei Wu.

Now it is Pu Hong, the king of Di, who has been entrenched here for 14 years, and his strength is strong, and he regularly persuades Shi Hu to stop his atrocities and govern the country with a gentle policy, Shi Hu is deeply jealous, and only dares to secretly harm his brothers and heirs, but he does not dare to touch him.

The Pu family was originally just a handsome among the Di people, and the Yongjia Rebellion gave the Di people a chance, plus Pu Hong's outstanding ability, wisdom and bravery, often scattered family wealth to help others, and had an excellent reputation.

The Di people who moved west to Fangtou were also justifiably unified under the banner of Puhong.

If he had made a move, it would have been difficult.

Heiyun Mountain will definitely not be able to move them, unless all the beggar armies unite to have the strength to fight.

But in this way, it is a big war, under Yecheng's nose, the two forces are merging, what will Shi Hu think?

"This matter may not have been done by Pu Hong, Lao Di is a good person, kind and charitable, quite strategic, and will not turn his face with the begging army for a mere thousand stone of grain, in addition, Pu Hong has a very good relationship with Li Gong, and will never intercept and kill our people."

Jiang is still old and spicy, and although Bo Wu is dizzy, there is not much drunkenness in his eyes.

"Could it be that his men did it behind his back?" Li Yue suggested another possibility.

Pu Hong can't look down on it, and the people under him may not look down on it.

Bo Wu thought for a while and said, "I will send a few old brothers to inquire directly in the name of the beggar army, and Pu Hong will definitely give us an answer!" ”

Li Yue said respectfully: "There is Uncle Lao." ”

Bo Wu waved his hand, "Now the mountains are all family, so there is no need to see outside." ”

On the surface, this sounds fine, but when you think about it deeply, it seems to be a bit off-string.

Li Yue integrated Heiyun Mountain, but he never ventilated to Bo Wu, which is equivalent to eating the benefits of others, wiping his mouth, patting his ass and leaving.

Others don't make a sound, it's because others have a big belly.

But if you don't say hello, you just don't know how to be polite.

Sometimes words and deeds are not in place, and the estrangement comes.

The last time Ma Chun made trouble, if Bo Wu was also involved, things would not be so simple.

Without Bo Wu's covert support, Heiyun Mountain can be integrated so easily?

"Recently, there have been a lot of affairs on the mountain, and I haven't asked my uncle for instructions, if there is anything inconsiderate, I hope my uncle will bear with me." Li Yue also had something to say.

Of course, Bo Wu could understand, his eyes and expression were much gentler, "Haha, it's serious, since you took over as the owner of the village, the weather on the mountain is new, the old man knows it, you don't have to be afraid, the old man is not a person with a small belly!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Yue suddenly felt a kind of love from his elders.

Bo Wu can become the leader of the beggar army, and he is undoubtedly a person with great personal charm.

Five days later, not only did the news come back, but Pu Hong also forwarded 700 stone of grain.

"A little food, talk about my general's intentions, your department and Fangtou were killed, although it was not my family's doing, but there is also the crime of negligence." A man dressed as a scholar arched his hand.
