Back in the city tower, Li Yue meditated.

The begging army cannot be completely regarded as an army, and solving the problem of the begging generals is not the same as solving the problem of the begging soldiers.

What they want is not to separate, but not to eliminate the old and weak, and the combat strength of the beggar army will never go up.

What Li Yue wants is that the beggar army can be used for his own use, no longer a loose tribal nature, and can dare to fight tough battles like an arm.

After thinking about it, there is only one way, simply set up another southern army, alongside the Heiyun army, and follow the Qingzhou army of Emperor Wu of Wei back then, as well as the method of the 36 sides of the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The word begging is really a bit harsh, and the southern army is replaced by the southern army, according to the region, the number of troops exceeding 1,000 is the governor, and the number of less than 1,000 is the captain.

Such as Governor Changyuan, Captain Lei Ze and so on.

Fathers, sons, uncles and nephews are all in the army, and there are certain benefits, and there is a saying since ancient times: fathers and sons are soldiers in battle, and brothers are brothers in battle.

Relatives can help each other in the army, and will not be easily separated.

Each governor and lieutenant set up posts such as the warden army, Sima, and tuntian envoy as usual, which were used to coordinate all localities and organize production and training.

In battle, the young and strong elites will be gathered to send troops, led by the black cloud generals, and if they do not fight, they will return to their respective jurisdictions and training.

Those who go into battle to kill the enemy in the southern army enjoy the same reward as the Black Cloud Army, and their sharp and brave people are also selected into the Black Cloud Army, and they are promoted to Black Cloud General after meritorious service.

Equivalent to a reduced version of the government soldiers, the Southern Army is also equivalent to the reserve of the Black Cloud Army.

The government soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Sui and Tang dynasties did not come out of thin air, but also evolved from the soldiers of the Qin and Han dynasties.

It took two days to sort out all the details, and then invited the famous veterans of the beggar army to discuss with them.

This is already the biggest concession that Li Yue can make, taking into account their respective interests.

Under Li Yue's careful explanation, the old soldiers nodded one after another, "As long as we don't separate our flesh and blood, we will obey the general's orders!" ”

Hearing that the land was rewarded by the Lifeng function and promoted to the black cloud general, one by one's eyes lit up.

Li Yue said: "In the front, in the future, you have to bring your own food, grass, and ordnance to defeat the enemy, in addition to military merits, there are also rich rewards." ”

"Haha, this is a trivial matter!" With a wave of their hands, the old soldiers could follow behind the Black Cloud Army to pick up ready-made ones, and they couldn't ask for them.

They did not object, and Li Yue asked the Black Cloud Army to propagate in the southern army and ease the relationship between the two sides.

This time it went much smoother, and there was no confrontation happening.

After the founding of the Southern Army, there were only more than 23,000 troops left, but the combat power was greatly improved, and the key was actually controlled by Li Yue.

Coupled with the Black Cloud Army, Li Yue's troops were nearly 40,000, and he instantly became one of the best forces south of the river.

After integrating the interior, Li Yue's gaze turned to the outside.

Yanzhou Mu has stamped the jade seal, which has legal effect, and the Black Cloud Army must not be limited to Chenliu.

There are still 56 counties in the country of Dongjun, Dongping, Jibei, Taishan, Jiyin, Rencheng and Gaoping.

Zhao Zhao set up a history of thorns in Yanzhou, the beginning of the rule in Xiaqiu, and then moved to Yuncheng, Zhao dominated the northern country, and moved to Juancheng.

When Shi Bin was besieged that day, he asked for help from all sides, and Juancheng also gathered seven or eight thousand troops to try to rescue, but later saw that Chen Liu was captured, and begging troops from all over Yanzhou gathered to respond, and were intimidated by Bo Wu, and shrank back.

The history of the Yanzhou assassin was under the Yanzhou pastor, and Li Yue unceremoniously ordered Liu Qi, the assassin of Yanzhou, to come to Chen to discuss the matter.

Chen stayed in the westernmost part of Yanzhou, geographically closer to Yuzhou.

Juancheng is in Dongjun to the north, and Li Yue can step on it with one foot.

After the order was issued, as expected, Liu Qi was not only indifferent, but also requisitioned troops and horses from all over the country to enter Juancheng to strengthen the defense.

"Liu Qi, born in the Liu family of Zhongshan, is the nephew of Liu Sikong, after Shi Hu broke Duan Liao, he captured several nephews of Liu Sikong, and took Liu Qun as the Zhongshu order, and Liu Qi as the scholar and servant, and the Yanzhou assassin history." Zhang Shengye read the information he had gathered.

Shi Hu was captured by Liu Kun in his early years, and after Shile captured Jizhou, Liu Kun wanted to unite Shile to fight against the Xiongnu Han State and returned Shi Hu.

With this relationship, Shi Hu has always been good to Zhongshan Liu.

Liu Qi has more literati than military generals, and he served as the assassin of Yanzhou for six years, appeased the displaced people, reclaimed the wasteland, and governed Yanzhou well, which is much stronger than the chaotic Yuzhou.

Looking at Liu Qi's posture, he has to be loyal to Zhao.

Li Yue stared at the map and suddenly smiled, "This person is just a scholar!" ”

When he shrank his forces to Juancheng, wouldn't he give up the other counties?

Li Yue then ordered the counties to guard and come to Chen Liuqian to meet him.

Jiyin in the east is adjacent to Chenliu, knowing that they can't hide, they honestly come to see them, and the other Dongjun, Dongping, Jibei, Taishan, Rencheng, and Gaoping counties continue to wait and see.

"The last general is willing to lead an army to take Juancheng directly and capture Liu Qilai!" Xu Cheng arched his hand.

With a strong army in hand, as well as the edict of Qian Zhao, the justifiable dispatch of troops, Liu Qiyi and Wenchen, how can he resist?

Li Yue shook his head and said: "The art of war is cloudy, the siege is the bottom, the heart is the top, the Central Plains is the land of a hundred battles, and the basil is everywhere, it is rare for Yanzhou to have a glimmer of life, and it cannot be attacked again." ”

Shi Hu is dead, Liu Qi's biggest backer is gone, and the drastic change in Zhao is imminent, Li Yue wants to see how Liu Qi chooses.

Now, Li Yue has two counties of Xingyang and Chenliu in his hands, plus a surrendered Jiyin County, and twenty-nine counties of the three counties, which have swelled very fast, and many places have not yet been actually controlled.

Time is on its side.

With the strength of the Black Cloud Army now, Dongjun will definitely be able to fight down, but most of the people in Dongjun are Jin, and they are fighting in the same room, which makes the Central Plains even worse.

Moreover, outside the city, Shi Zun's troops continued to increase, and at this time, it was naturally impossible for Li Yue to transfer troops to attack Dongjun.

"It's time to talk to Shi Zun!" Li Yue stood on the city tower and looked at the camp to the east.

Tens of thousands of troops are blocked at the door of the house, which is really uncomfortable, he is not a day, and Heiyun Mountain still needs to develop.

However, negotiation requires skill, and the initiative to find the door, the natural dwarf has three points.

It's a mule or a horse, it always has to be pulled out to slip around, and after the integration of the southern army, it should also be pulled out to test the water.

A military order, in less than an hour, the southern army assembled outside the eastern city.

Compared with the beggar-like beggar army before, today's southern army has a new atmosphere, nearly thirty percent of the soldiers are wearing leather armor, holding long ge, and hanging bows and arrows on their backs......

People rely on clothes and horses to support saddles, and red flags are raised, and momentum comes out.

"War, war, war!"

The roars of more than 20,000 people soared into the sky.

In the black cloud camp in the southwest, thousands of horses also came to cheer.

Zhao Jun retreated in the camp, not daring to move in the slightest, hiding behind the barrier and watching.

Li Yue looked at the soldiers who were alive and well in the city, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, he rushed all the way to the table, and finally squeezed the table, and the rest was how to eat the fat deer of Qian Zhao.

However, at this time, the guards led a person to arrive, and Li Yue recognized it as Zhang Xiong's cronies.

Zhang Xiong is still trustworthy, and when the wind blows in Yecheng, he will send someone to deliver a message, "Sikong plotted wrong, was detected by the Taibao, escaped from Yedu overnight, took refuge in Guangzong, and the Taibao will raise an army of 50,000 to attack it!" ”

Li Yue was stunned, didn't Li Nong, Zhang Ju, and Zhang Jackal wear a pair of pants?

Why did you come to war so quickly?

said that Li Nong was cowardly, Li Yue believed it, but said that Li Nong was plotting against him, Li Yue would not believe it no matter what.

Some time ago, Li Yue also reminded Zhang Xiong not to act rashly at this time, and to wait and see what happens, but he didn't expect to do it so soon.

Li Yue sighed in his heart, even if Zhang Jackal wanted to do it, it shouldn't be Li Nong, so many princes of the Shi family were eyeing him.

Shi Zun gathered troops to stay in the city, and never went to Guanzhong, waiting for this opportunity.

On Monday, there are many things to do, and there are two more
