Chapter 117: Face-to-face
After the Gaoli Praetorian Guards captured Luoyang, the disadvantage of not having rear support gradually became apparent.
Coupled with the blockade of spring snow, it began to become difficult.
The plundering of Xingyang and Chen Liu did not bring back much food, but some people took the opportunity to escape.
Of course, these are not the core combat power of the Colliers Praetorian Guard.
Since the Yongjia Rebellion, the source of food for the army has long been not limited to food, as long as you have a knife in your hand, you can eat everywhere......
Li Yue led the 6,000 steps he had temporarily put together to ride to Chenggao.
With the current strength of Heiyun Mountain, it is not difficult to get an army of 10,000 people, but Xuchang Zhang Yu is eyeing the tiger, and Yangcheng in the southwest still has the Xiongnu army of Liu State.
Liu Guo went down the Yishui River, out of the Yique Pass, intentionally or unintentionally around the back of Xuanyuan Mountain......
Li Yue couldn't help but guard against the two.
The former Tiger Prison Pass is still majestic and steep, blocking the onslaught of the Gaoli Guards, and making Li Nong, who has been defeated one after another, breathe.
"There is an order, summon the black cloud generals to see!" The beggar generals Dong Yan and Chen Duan and others came to give orders.
It was the first time Li Yue had heard the title of "Black Cloud Generals", and he felt that it was very appropriate.
"Li Nong is an important minister of Shihu, and he is afraid that he will not summon the whole army into the camp today." Zhu Xu whispered in his ear, he hated anyone who was Zhao Zhao.
Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, Li Yue has always taken him with him, "Otherwise, although Sikong is a heavy minister of Zhao and the leader of the begging army, if he tries to me now, he will lose the hearts of the beggar army!" ”
The beggar army is the foundation of Li Nong's establishment in Qianzhao.
moved himself, what do other beggars such as Bo Wu and Chen Duan think?
The "Black Cloud Generals" under his command are only afraid that they will immediately turn back.
Moreover, Li Yue has also carefully analyzed Li Nong's character, and his ability is lacking, and for so many years, the biggest appeal is to keep the glory and wealth on the basis of "begging".
It's all here, and it's not bad for this trembling.
Li Yue then took Bo Wu, Wei Shan, and Zhu Xu into the customs, leaving Xu Cheng, Liang Xiao, Cao Kan and other cronies to garrison.
Zhou led the town of Heiyun Mountain, guarding against Xuchang Zhang Yu.
Cui Jin, as always, guarded Xuanyuan Mountain and guarded against Liu Guo in Yangcheng.
After walking a few steps, Dong Yan said: "Leader Li doesn't have to worry too much, Sikong praised you yesterday." ”
I don't know if I don't fight, when Li Yue repelled three thousand Gaoli guards, not many people took it seriously.
But now Liang Qian rebelled, all the way back from Longxi, invincible, Chang'an, Luoyang can not defend, the front broke the stone bud 50,000 or 60,000 elites, and then defeated Li Nong's 100,000 army, the world was discolored, and Heiyun Mountain also rose because of this.
This is also the reason why Li Nong recruited Heiyun Mountain to participate in the war.
"Oh? Will Sikong also remember the following? ”
"The beggar army in the world is in the same vein, how can Sikong not remember? If it weren't for Sikong's mediation in the DPRK and China, how would Heiyun Mountain be sandwiched between the heart, how would it be safe and sound? Dong Yan said meaningfully.
Bo Wu sighed, "There are difficulties in commonplace. ”
He stayed in Yecheng for a few months, and the wrinkles on his face doubled.
Dong Yan said: "After two defeats, Sikong's prestige plummeted, and he was stripped of his military positions as the governor of the capital and the general, and was replaced by the governor of the Chinese and foreign armies of the king of Yan, Shibin, and led 10,000 cavalry, and 30,000 people including Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong were on the way to come. ”
Li Yue was stunned, in order to deal with Liang Qian, Qian Zhao can be said to have poured the power of the country.
This also proves the weakness of Qian Zhao even more.
After this battle, what did the Shi family do to suppress Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong?
They all have their own ethnic groups behind them, with a solid foundation and many heirs.
The tiger prison was locked up in the mountain, stuck on the mountain pass in and out of the Central Plains.
A small city at the foot of the hill was used as a garrison, and a large area of the camp was attached.
The defenders were all depressed, lying on the ground, many of them were wounded, wailing, looking at their faces, the vast majority of them were from the Central Plains.
Fortunately, the weather is not getting warmer now, and it can still survive.
"There is an order, let Leader Li enter the meeting alone." In front of the castle tower, several tall halberders blocked the way.
Dong Yan nodded, and Chen Duan, Bo Wu, Wei Shan and the others stood still.
Only Zhu Xu's eyes flashed with a wisp of different color.
Li Yuechong Hu Yanhei, Yang Luo, and Zhang Zhu'er waved their hands, signaled to look at him, and then followed the halberd into the room.
Inside the door, a group of armor soldiers stood with knives, their eyes fierce and murderous, obviously trying to give themselves a dismount.
Li Yue sneered in his heart, since he dared to come, he was not afraid of Li Nong's coming.
"There is an order, Leader Li is waiting outside the door." The door opened, and an acquaintance came out, and Chang Wei bowed.
"Leap to the command."
Li Yue stood respectfully outside the door, looking at his nose and his heart.
I thought that Li Nong would just be a showman, but I didn't expect that this stop would be more than two hours, and there was still no intention to see myself inside.
I came all the way, and I was a little tired, and I didn't eat for more than two hours, and I didn't even drink a sip of water.
It was getting dark, and the wind was getting colder, whistling over the owl's kiss overhead, and a few snowflakes were falling.
The snow was not heavy enough to whiten the dim world.
Looking to the north, the Yellow River is surging eastward.
Hu Yanhei and Yang Luo looked over with their heads probed, and when they saw that Li Yue was fine, they continued to wait on the city wall.
In fact, the more he did this, the more sure Li Yue was that there was no danger.
It's just a common means for bosses to suppress and unruly subordinates.
The night was getting darker, and the surrounding armor soldiers had already changed three times.
The door finally opened, and Chang Wei came out and said, "Leader Li, please do it." ”
Li Yue followed behind.
There are no superfluous utensils in the hall, a brazier, the charcoal fire in the basin is dark red, smokeless, but very warm, behind the brazier, a person is writing something on the desk, under the swaying lamp, the brows are tightly locked, the forehead is squeezed into a river, several times to lift the pen, and several times to fall.
Chang Wei stood aside respectfully.
Don't think about it, this person is Zhao Sikong and Li Nong, the leader of the beggar army.
He didn't make a sound, and Li Yue couldn't bother.
After more than an hour, Li Nong finally finished his work, glanced at Li Yue, and suddenly said, "Why do you have such frequent contacts with Jing Xiang?" ”
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, it seems that Li Nong has also worked Heiyun Mountain.
There are a lot of beggar troops in Heiyun Mountain, and it is common to ambush one or two fine works, with Li Nong's power in Qianzhao, what do you want to inquire, but it is not ready to be captured?
Li Yue said half-truthfully: "The subordinates were attacked by Zhang Yu and forced by Liu Guo, so they had to ...... it."
A cold wind blew from nowhere, the lights flickered, and Li Nong's eyes flickered in the shadows.
If a person sits in a high position for a long time, he will naturally develop a momentum.
At this time, no matter what came out of Li Nong's mouth, Li Yue was sure to see the move, and for more than two hours standing outside the door, he had already thought of the way to deal with it dozens of times in his heart.
But he didn't say a word.
The hall was silent and dull.
Whether you can lean on the big tree of the beggar army will look at tonight.
Huan Wen doesn't have to think about it, the Huan family is full of talents, and he can't look down on himself, a northerner who is a wanderer, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be an ally, so he can only become a pawn in the hands of others.
After the destruction of the country, there will be a feast.
The decline of Qian Zhao is imminent, and if he wants to swallow a mouthful of fat and grow stronger, he can only borrow the name of the beggar army.
I don't know how long it took, Li Nong picked up the paper on the desk and read it, and soon fell into busyness again.
