The second year of Taining is destined to be a stormy year.

What is lacking is what to ask for, and Zhao Zhao has been in a big mess, so he made the Taining year name.

The new year has just arrived, and Hebei is once again shrouded in bloody rain.

With the continuous growth of Shi Zhen's power in Xiangguo, which caused unease in Yecheng, Shi Jian then took Shi Kun as the governor, and the Tai Lieutenant Zhang Ju and the servant Hu Yansheng led 70,000 cavalry to attack Shi Yi in three ways.

"Shi Kun is Shi Qi's own brother, Hu Yansheng Huns, the two of them are going, but they are afraid of immediately turning back." Even Li Yue saw that something was wrong.

Chang Wei said: "Didn't the governor see that there is another lift, this person should be the key to it, if it is expected to be good, Li Nong is involved in this matter." ”

Politics is full of compromises.

Li Nong and Zhang Ju wore a pair of pants, and for Li Nong, Zhang Ju even betrayed his brother Zhang Ju.

Shi Min's situation is known only to him, and outsiders can only speculate or analyze it after the fact.

However, judging from Shi Min's series of methods, he should not be able to make a stupid move, and he can go from a miscellaneous general with no military power to the present, which is definitely not something that can be done with a big mind and no brains.

Li Yue said: "Could it be that Shi Min deliberately diverted Yecheng's forces against him?" ”

According to the detailed report, these 70,000 foot riders are basically Huns and Qian, and they are gone, so it is convenient for Shi Min to do things.

Chang Wei smiled: "If this is the case, I am afraid that Yecheng will soon change the sky." ”

Li Yue thought so.

Now that Fu Hong has returned to the west, Yao Yizhong has been disabled, the north and south have made peace, and the geopolitical environment around Yanzhou has gradually improved.

Yesterday, Zhang Yu and Liu Guo were cheeky enough to send envoys.

The righteousness is that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they are also the courtiers of Da Zhao, everyone must help each other in the future, and they can't sneak attack from behind......

Li Yue was directly amused.

The geopolitical environment of Yanzhou has improved, but the two of them are getting worse and worse.

After Sima Xun broke through Nanyang, Nanyang basically fell into the hands of Huan Wen, and Liu Guo and Zhang Yu were behind Jing Xiang's hundreds of thousands of troops......

And Yin Hao of Jiangdong made it clear that he wanted to recover the ancient capitals of Xu and Luo, and the knife was already facing them.

Sandwiched between Huan Wen and Yin Hao is not Li Yue, but Liu Guo and Zhang Yu.

Li Yue also sent someone to reply to them, Yanzhou will always be their solid backing, if the two brothers can't hold on, don't fight hard, the door of Chen Liu will always be open to them......

This year will be the most critical year for Heiyun Mountain, and Zhou has budgeted for the new population in hand to repair all the barren land in Yanzhou.

In the first month, Li Yue sent tuntian envoys to all counties in the territory, and the donkeys, mules, cattle, and iron tools of the government were rented to the people for free.

A set of incentives has also been put in place whereby the fields cultivated by the tuntians are gradually distributed to them after five years of cultivation according to the grain they have surrendered.

Twenty acres per person.

When the decree was issued, the enthusiasm of the Tuntian guests was ignited, and before the freeze began, these people went down to the fields to renovate the canals, cut the winter grass and burn fertilizer.

This is not Li Yue's impromptu intention, but most of the people under his rule are assembled refugees, and they are not stable.

The last time Chu was in the Northern Expedition, the people of the north dragged their families and joined them.

This time, Yin Hao's Northern Expedition went straight to the Central Plains, and I don't know how many people defected at that time.

So only by tying them up with the land and the Black Cloud Mountain.

In a word, Li Yue not only wants their people, but also their hearts.

Within a few days, the person from the south replied, Liu Guo sent five horses, tall and god-like, and Zhang Yu sent more than 1,000 stone of grain, which was considered to ease the relationship.

came and did not be rude, Li Yue also gave five treasure knives produced by Shanyang Iron Fang.

In order to pursue lethality and reduce costs, the Hanhuan first knife has no handguard, and the handle is directly connected to the blade.

Li Yue was not used to it, and he was always worried about hurting his hands when he used it, so he added a handguard, reduced the knife ring, and after a thousand tempers, a sharp weapon was born.

And the appearance of the ring head knife immediately went up.

Each hilt is engraved with the word "Black Cloud" and is rewarded to the Black Cloud General.

The output of Shanyang Iron Mill is getting higher and higher, first, Shanyang Taishou Cao Ning is quite talented, and second, Li Yue has invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

There were more than 600 blacksmiths summoned from all over the country, plus land, handymen, etc., nearly four or five thousand people.

The 30,000 Black Cloud Army is gradually changing its equipment.

The eliminated weapons were distributed to the Southern Army and the Yanzhou Army.

Throughout the cold winter, the training of the soldiers never relaxed, and it was basically the norm to march in the snow for five or six days in a row, and it was not uncommon for someone to die during the march and hunting.

Li Yue is not soft-hearted, everyone else can rest, but the Black Cloud Army cannot.

Corresponding to the hard training is the generous treatment, and Li Yue also knows that they are hard, so there is a supply of broth every day.

The main food was also changed from soup to wheat rice, hu cakes, and steamed buns, and two meals a day became three meals, in order to strengthen their physique.

Steamed buns were invented by Zhuge Wuhou, and Hu cakes were widely popular from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is said that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty liked this thing very much, and gradually became a trend in Luoyang, and then promoted it throughout the country.

Jiangdong's former Taiwei Xi Jian proposed to his daughter Xi Xuan, and the children of the Langya Wang family were all sitting in danger, with a dignified appearance, only Wang Xizhi had an open belly and ate Hu cakes, so he was selected by Xi Jian, and there was an allusion to the "fast son-in-law of the east bed".

In addition to the material reward of three meals a day, there are also spiritual rewards.

Every family member of the Black Cloud Army moved to Chenliu City, and there was a green wood plaque hanging on the door, with the word "loyalty and bravery" written on it, with this thing, when seeing local county orders and other officials, there was no need to kneel and worship.

Everyone has a lot of potential, especially in these troubled times.

The hard training not only did not crush them, but also made them stronger one by one, and many of them were able to fight the beasts with their swords.

Walking on the streets of Chenliu when he was resting, the people could recognize him at a glance.

The five hundred Black Cloud Lang is even more so, the original foundation is not bad, but in just a few months, it is like being reborn, there is murderous aura in his eyes, and his face has the majesty that the Black Cloud Army should have.

There are as many as twenty-three people who can fight beasts!

At a distance of 100 paces, riding a horse and holding a strong bow, an arrow can shoot through the newly made iron armor of Shanyang Iron Workshop.

More than 500 horsemen, often galloping in the wind and snow, not afraid of the cold, but also several times on the Yellow River to freeze, killed to the opposite bank, and returned with dozens of army heads.

Among the armies, they also hunted the most, and the prey was different from the others.

Everyone else is sheep, deer, elk, etc., but they hunt jackals, tigers and leopards.

In the past, the guards complained a lot, but later they all gave them a thumbs up.

In the winter, Li Yue's lessons have never stopped, in the past, only for the black cloud generals, but now it has spread to the whole army, and the Honglu officials are becoming more and more proficient, talking about the Han-Hungarian War and the old affairs of the Three Kingdoms, which is more wonderful than Li Yue, and has achieved a huge response among the soldiers.

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Yue processed the loyal stories of Zhuge Wuhou six out of Qishan, Guan Yunchang riding alone for thousands of miles, and Liao Hua returning to Shu with his mother, which attracted the applause of the soldiers.

Of course, it is also indispensable to the bad things of Sima's family, so that the soldiers can understand what kind of goods the Jiangdong Imperial Court is.

The effect was surprisingly good, and Li Yue then promoted it to the Southern Army and the Yanzhou Army.

Somehow it spread to the mouths of the people, and it was popular on the streets and alleys for a while.

The more such a dark era, the more we yearn for these people and things that have radiated brilliance.

Li Yueyi summed up and simply sent Honglu officials to Qinghai, Xu, Yan, Henan, Hebei and other places in the north and south of the river.

To restore the homeland of China, we must first restore people's hearts and restore national self-confidence!
