Chapter 181: Eastward Advance

"How many homeless people were brought back yesterday?" At present, Li Yue is most concerned about the displaced people, and he asks about the population every day.

Everything is built on top of the population base.

The 150,000 people of Heiyun Mountain are really a little weak among the surrounding forces.

And the Black Cloud Army can maintain today's situation by relying on the war dividends of the two major wars.

But the dividends will eventually pass, and everything depends on strength.

"More than five thousand seven hundred." Zhou Zhan looked at the bamboo slips, "The displaced people knew that I was intercepted by Heiyun Mountain, so they deliberately did not go south from Yanzhou, and transferred Qingzhou to Lu County." ”

The day before yesterday, there were more than 8,000 people, but yesterday there were only 5,000, which can be called a halving.

In the past 20 days, Chen Liu's collection of displaced people has exceeded 100,000.

However, Li Yue has been hungry for a long time, and this is still not enough.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xingyang had a population of 300,000, the surrounding Yingchuan and Liang countries had a population of more than 400,000 each, and Runan had a population of 2 million.

Li Yue's three counties were less than one county in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

On the opposite side of Hebei, in any county, the population of Hu and Jin combined, there are five or six hundred thousand people.

In the past 20 years, Shi Hu has tirelessly migrated the Hu people from the Western Regions, filled Hebei, and uprooted Yao Yizhong, Puhong and other tribes, filling Hebei to suppress the Jin people.

This is like a thief who accidentally steals his master's house, but after all, he is weak and weak, so he gets all the ruffians around him into his master's house to give himself courage.

The Chinese ethnic group, which has lived on this land for thousands of years, has weakened to a very dangerous point after so many years of persecution and massacre.

Yecheng, the residence of the Son of Heaven, has become the capital of the Hu people......

"There will only be fewer and fewer displaced people in Yanzhou, unless ......" Zhou Qian said again.

"Unless you can send troops to Lu County?" Li Yue helped him finish his words.

"The general is the Yanzhou pastor of Yecheng Feng, Lu County is naturally under the rule of the general, Zhao Jun has no military discipline and brutalizes the people.

Sending troops to Lu County, Li Yue had to consider the reactions of Li Nong and Chu Li.

Chu Pei commanded 30,000 elites, stationed troops in Pengcheng, steady and steady, on the surface, the Jin army has a great advantage.

And Li Nong has been defeated repeatedly, and he is in decline.

"General, Lu County reported urgently, the Jin generals Wang Gong and Li Mai privately sent troops on their behalf, Li Nong took advantage of the situation to go south, doubled the road, and broke the three thousand elite Jin troops in one fell swoop, and captured Wang Gong and Li Mai alive!"

As soon as we talked about Lu County, the news of the scouts came.

Li Yue hurriedly asked people to find a map, the battle of Daipi could only be regarded as an outpost battle, and the three thousand Jin troops were annihilated, which had little impact on the overall situation.

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers.

Moreover, the defeat in this battle was due to Wang Gong and Li Mai who violated Chu Li's military order and did not go to Lu County to join the rebels.

In addition to the loss of 3,000 soldiers and horses, Chu Li did not lose much of the two unruly generals.

However, the impact on morale is certainly not small.

Li Nong fought this battle very beautifully, concentrated superior forces and attacked decisively, and completely annihilated the Jin army, which impressed Li Yue.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said with a smile: "Sikong is the benefactor of my Heiyun Mountain, and he uses soldiers in Yanzhou, how can he not worship him!" ”

Li Nong won a game, and Li Yue couldn't help but get some light.

This battle cut off Chu Pu's hand to the south of the Yellow River, and it was difficult for Lu County's rebellion to gain momentum.

Zhou Lianwan smiled, "When Sikong sees a general, his head will be as big as a fight." ”

He has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he actually made jokes.

Li Yue also smiled: "Aren't you provoking the relationship between me and Sikong?" The beggar army is in the same spirit, and Sikong comes to our realm, if he doesn't go, it will be rude and make outsiders laugh. ”

Zhou Lian laughed.

Tsukihime, who was copying the records on the side, also covered her mouth and smiled.

There are two major advantages to going to Lu County, one is to expand the power of the Black Cloud Army to the east, the second is to contain the displaced people, and the third is to ease the relationship with Li Nong.

No matter how you say it, he is also the leader of the beggar army, and he has a huge influence in Hebei, and he will be useful to each other in the future.

Li Yue then summoned all battalions of the Heiyun Army, and led 8,000 troops to the east with Cui Jin and Wei Shan.

Before they reached Jiyin, news came from the east.

"General, the Zhao army is slaughtering the homeless people in Lu County, the corpses are piling up, and the counties and counties have also sent troops to intercept and kill the people who cross the border, the homeless people have no food, they are starving to death, and they are six or seven out of ten predators of wild beasts!"

Several young scouts had angry faces.

They are also from the Northland, and many people were inspired by Li Yue's sense of family and country in Shangwutang, and the Zhao army killed the displaced people, which made them haunted.

Li Yue's worst fear still happened.

Shi Hu tried all kinds of ways to kill the Jin people, and Li Nong, as a heavy minister of Zhao Zhao, was greatly favored by Shi Hu, so he naturally had the same heart with him.

Shi Hu is dead, but Qi Zhao is still the same as before, and there is not much change in nature.

Li Yue was angry and helpless in his heart, he had said before that he was not allowed to touch the displaced people under the Heiyun Red Banner, but these displaced people were not under the Black Cloud Red Banner, and Li Nong took the lead, so the Zhao Jun of the county would naturally not be polite.

This is also one of the rules of the times, regardless of whether there is a distinction between north and south.

Even if these displaced people go south smoothly, when they arrive in Jiangdong, they will face a more cruel fate, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's scholars are flooded, and it is not uncommon to rob the population, and in the past few years, there have even been Jin army massacres of displaced men, plundering wealth and women.

"Pass on my Yanzhou pastoral decree that all counties and counties shall not loot or harm the displaced people, otherwise military law will serve! The cavalry goes first, the infantry army is behind, and they quickly enter Lu County! Li Yue took out the spirit of Yanzhou Mu.

I didn't hold back before, because there was no need to develop too much eastward.

But now it has to be moved.

"What if Li Nong stops it?" Cui Jin looked at Li Yuedao.

Li Nong was the initiator, and Zhao Jun in these counties also followed him.

Li Yue thought for a while, "Then put Sikong in the way and let Chu Li deal with him!" ”

killed Shi Bin, and he was inseparable from Zhao Zhao.

What is the difference between Li Nong's actions and Shi Hu, Shi Di, Shi Xuan, Shi Bao and others?

In the past, Li Yue just thought that Li Nong was forced by the situation and passively stood on the side of Qian Zhao, but now it seems that this is not the case, and he is safeguarding the interests of Qian Zhao everywhere.

"What a spirit!" There are only pro-soldiers around, not so restrained, Cui Jin smiled at Qingtian, "The chaos of Zhao is imminent, Shi Chong's 100,000 army is in the north, and Shi Bao's disaster is in the west, I really turned my face, why am I afraid of Heiyun Mountain?" ”

A man's aura is born of power.

Cui Jin led an army alone, guarded Xuanyuan Mountain, and had a brotherhood with Li Yue, and people were slowly transforming.

"Yesterday, the Qinghe Cui clan sent someone to contact me." Cui Jin said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Li Yue was stunned.

The Qinghe Cui clan is one of the best Dashi clans in Hebei, and they sent people to contact Cui Jin, and there is a lot of information in it.

"Back then, I ran away and was removed from the clan by the elders, but now Heiyun Mountain is famous in the north and south of the river, and the Cui family has written my name back to the family tree......" Cui Jin smiled wryly.

"That's a good thing."

"What's good? It's just using each other, and now that the Shi family is going to be in chaos, the Cui family wants to find another backer, and I haven't replied yet. ”

Qinghe Cui's family spared no effort in order to tie up Shi Hu, and took the initiative to sacrifice his daughter to Shi Hu as his wife, and was later framed by Shi Zun's mother Zheng Cherry and committed suicide.

Qinghe Cui's has been unlucky for a few years.

Now that Shi Zun is in the upper position, the Qinghe Cui clan naturally finds another way.

"What are you going to do with my brother?" Li Yue said.

Qinghe Cui's looking for Cui Jin is not looking for himself, there must be a lot of cats in it.

Cui Jin arched his hand and said: "The general and I are like brothers, if the Qinghe Cui clan can help the general, the subordinates will encircle him, if the general does not want to borrow the power of the Qinghe Cui clan, the subordinates will refuse!" ”
