Ran Min's edict soon came down, Feng Mijin was the Taishou of Hejian, the general of Zhichong, Qin Biao was the Taishou of Zhangwu, the general of Fenwu, Jia Jian was the Taishou of Bohai, and the general of Jiji.

The population of Hejian and Zhangwu counties was basically captured by the Yan army, except for a few empty cities, there was basically no need to operate.

The Yan Army's intention was originally to use this place as a buffer zone.

Li Yue also instructed Mi Jin and Qin Biao that if they couldn't hold it, they could directly give up and withdraw to the Bohai Sea.

The only one that still has some life is Bohai County, where the Black Cloud Army has kept half of the county's population.

These three counties are only superficial interests, and the real interests are in the plains of southern Hebei, the two counties of Qinghe, and Qingzhou behind the Bohai Sea.

The Black Cloud Army resisted the Yan Army's southward movement and proved its strength.

It is a normal thing to cling to the strong in troubled times.

"Governor, news from Xiangguo." Zhang Shengye trotted all the way.

"Could it be that Xiangguo has been breached?" Li Yue asked.

"Not yet, the Lord of Wei continued to storm Xiangguo, Shi Yi couldn't bear the pressure, went to the emperor's name, proclaimed himself King Zhao, and asked Murong Clan, Yao Yizhong, Shi Kun, Zhang Ping and others for help."

It has been four months since this big war, and Xiangguo should have reached its limit.

The forced Shi Yi went to the emperor, indicating that the Wei army had the advantage.

Between Xiangguo and the Bohai Sea, there are Hejian, Wuyi County, Changle County, Julu and other counties, and the Black Cloud Army is beyond the reach of the whip.

There are also various forces large and small in the middle, and the key is that Ran Min did not ask for help from himself.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

With Ran Min's character, he may not want to rescue himself.

Li Yue then ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and after the ice and snow melted, he returned to Chenliu.

Everyone has their own lives, Ran Min wants to fight to the death, no one can hold it back, just take care of your own affairs and develop yourself with peace of mind.

When he had nothing to do, he took his own soldiers to inspect the battalions in the city to see how the morale was.

After the Yan army retreated, the officials and Haoqiang in Qinghe, Pingyuan, and Leling sent wine and meat as rewards.

The soldiers had wine and meat, and the cold winter was not difficult.

The morale is still quite high, and some people miss their families, after all, they have been on the expedition for three months.

Li Yue simply opened a military post and asked the Honglu officials to write letters to their families on behalf of the soldiers, once every seven days, and sent them back to Chenliu, and returned half a month later, bringing back some new clothes, cured meat, and sauce sewn by their families.

It greatly alleviated the homesickness of the soldiers.

The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars.

Some of the letters sent to the family also made the soldiers not worry about their families, and the parents and children were taken care of by the government.

"My son Wang Ju, today sent a pair of leather shoes, two jars of meat, everything is fine at home, your brother has grown up, has been married to the daughter of the garment shop in Xiejie, my family from the south of the state to Xingyang, almost starved to death, fortunately the governor took in, only today, you should kill the enemy with your heart in the Bohai Sea, and repay the kindness of the governor......"

"My son Yang Chang'er ......"

Li Yue listened to the sound of recitation outside the camp tent, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

How simple were these soldiers and their families? Just do what they should do, and let them die for themselves.

After the opening of the military post, the spirit of the soldiers was lifted, and the fatigue on their faces was half gone.

Military posts have existed in ancient times, and the Qin and Han dynasties paid special attention to them, and the Han Dynasty relied on military posts to communicate with the Western Regions.

As he walked, he unconsciously walked to the camp of the Jia clan, and heard a burst of cheers inside.

The guard in front of the gate was about to salute, but was stopped by Li Yue with a wave of his hand, and stopped to look inside.

I saw that Jia insisted on the bow and was demonstrating it for the subordinates.

On a cow on the playground, Jia Jian bent his bow and arrows, and with a "boom", the feather arrow flew over the back of the cow, bringing up a puff of cow hair, but the cow was unharmed, and the feather arrow was nailed to the bull's-eye by the way.

"Good archery!" Li Yue couldn't help but applaud.

This kind of archery is simply amazing.

In the past, I always heard people say that the Hu people are invincible in riding and shooting, but they don't know that shooting is also one of the six arts of a gentleman.

In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, there was no martial arts, and they all practiced riding and archery.

Seeing that it was Li Yue, Jia Jian hurriedly put away his bow, hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "Haha, the governor has praised it, he is old, and his hand is not as stable as before." ”

Wei Shan was unconvinced and muttered, "But that's it." ”

His voice was already loud, and although he pinched his throat, he could still hear it clearly.

Jia Jian's purple face was not displeased, "What General Wei said is very true, it is just a small skill of carving insects. ”

"My general once shot and killed more than 100 people in the Yan army, and his archery skills are famous in Hebei, how can it be a small skill of carving insects." A young general behind Jia Jian was not angry.

"Don't be rude." Jia Jian snorted.

However, although he was generous, the pro-soldiers on both sides were pointing at Mai Mang, staring at the small ones with big eyes.

The army advocates bravery, and the two groups of men and horses are next to each other, and it is inevitable that they will compete in secret.

This is not a bad thing, and it motivates the soldiers.

Li Yue also wanted to see Jia Jian's ability, he could lead 5,000 troops to break through the encirclement of the Yan army, which was definitely not something that ordinary generals could do, so he laughed, "General Jia's name of bravery, I have heard about it for many days, I might as well show my hand today, so that all the soldiers can see and understand." ”

"Since the governor has an order, then it will be ugly." Jia Jian didn't refuse, took a feather arrow, and headed it towards the cow a hundred paces away.

Wei Shan and the others opened their eyes wide.

Li Yue also watched intently.

Jia Jian looked at everyone and said with a smile: "When you are young and strong, you can make a mistake, but now that you are old, you can be successful." ”

While talking and laughing, the feathered arrow shot out, sticking to the back of the cow and shooting down a few strands of hair.

Just when Wei Shan didn't think so, Jia Jian took another arrow, almost didn't aim much, and the feather arrow broke through the air, drilled under the cow's belly, and shot down a few strands of hair.

"It's ugly." Jia Jian's smile remained unchanged.

"What's so hard about that?" Wei Shan still disagreed.

"Governor, please look!" Jia Jian's part took the cow hair that fell before and after, and there were as many on both sides.

Wei Shan and the guards shut up instantly.

Li Yue praised: "In the past, I heard that Li Guang shot the tiger in the stone, but now I look at the general's magic skills, and I know that Li Guang is nothing more than that!" ”

"It's just a fluke for a while, not as brave as the generals." Jia Jian bowed his hand to everyone.

Wei Shan's face turned red, but he was also frank, "The general's magic skills are not as good as the next!" ”

There is no shame in not being as good as others, and it is a shame not to admit that others are better than you.

As soon as these words came out, the relationship between the two sides became harmonious, and they were both fighting men, and no one was careful.

"Xiao's Lance, Jia's Bow, it's a pity that the covenant is not there, otherwise you will be able to open your eyes." Jia Jian said with emotion.

Li Yue was also a pity for a while, he resisted the Yan army for more than half a month, Feng Yi had nothing to do, so he had to use the next means to deceive him, otherwise if this person was there, there would be another general in Jidong.

"In the land of Yan Zhao, there are so many heroes!" Li Yue motioned to the guards to bring wine and meat, and drank with the Jia clan.

A bottle of wine went down, and the relationship between the two sides grew by leaps and bounds.

"In the middle of thirty or forty years, reading countless people, the northern heroes are not as broad-minded as the governor, he can determine the northern, will be the governor!" After drinking the wine, Jia Jian's red face turned even redder, and he used the strength of the wine.

This is quite a valuable statement.

Looking at Jia Jian's age, the wind and frost he has experienced are not less.

"General Jia is drunk." Li Yue didn't take it too seriously.

Drunken words, half-truths and half-truths, there are many people who compliment themselves in recent years.

"Haha, drunk, drunk." Jia Jian picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

When the conversation was rising, Zhang Shengye came again, "Governor, Xiangguo has an edict!" ”
