The equipment for more than 400 people can be described as luxurious.
Each person has a ring-headed sword, a bow, a bone or mace, and more than a hundred mules and donkeys carrying more than a hundred sets of iron armor for them to prevent them from encountering hard problems.
In order to ensure the success rate of this trip, Li Yue also mobilized more than 300 scouts to explore the path for them in advance and avoid the Jie people's cavalry.
No matter how hard you train in the mountains, it is useless. You must fight in actual combat and taste blood before you can be called an elite.
With such a force, let alone getting private salt, it would be enough to just rob it.
Looking at the four hundred people who were full of energy, Li Yue didn't know what to say, "Heiyun Mountain must not be without salt, please work hard!"
"Wan Sheng!" Hundreds of ring-shou knives, bones, and maces were raised at the same time.
It seems that they are not going to get salt, but to kill people and set fire to it.
Li Yue then remembered that all of them had a blood feud with the Jie people. If they couldn't stop it, it would be difficult to deal with it. He quickly called Cao Kan and other officers and warned them carefully, "This trip is only to get salt, don't do it." Love fighting, revenge, the future is long!"
"General, don't worry, subordinates will be spared." The officers handed over.
Li Yue felt a little relieved.
Ordinarily, given Zhou Qian's caution and knowledge of the route, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
It would be good if Jie Zhao could control the city.
Many forces in the south of the river publicly submitted to Shihu, but secretly had an eye with Jiangdong.
If you want to grow stronger, you will definitely not be able to immerse yourself in farming in Heiyun Mountain.
The huge waves of the times are rolling in, and we will not give this opportunity at all. Either we stand on the cusp of the storm and become a trend-setter, or we are swept away by the huge waves and completely submerged.
With Zhou Lian gone, the burden on Li Yue's shoulders became even greater.
Everything up and down the mountain was overwhelming, and there was no time to dig fields or train soldiers.
Li Yue could only use all available resources around him to transfer Yue Ji and the other twelve children to serve as civil servants.
It is not appropriate to say that they are children. The youngest is twelve years old. These days, many twelve-year-olds get married or go to the battlefield.
In troubled times, everyone tries their best to live, and those who cannot adapt to troubled times can only be eliminated.
In the few months since they came to Heiyun Mountain, the childish look on their faces has long faded.
It is not a long-term solution to leave all civil affairs to Zhou Qian.
With a population of more than 14,000, it is already considered a large county.
Everything that should be there must be there.
"The first task for you is to create a household. Record clearly how many men each household has, how much land they have, and where they live." Li Yue looked at them, thinking of himself in his previous life, who didn't know what he was doing at this age.
"Follow the order!" The teenagers had no objections.
"If you have any difficulties, you can directly tell me what you need and how many manpower you need. You can come to me directly." Li Yue did not set a time limit for completion. He let them try it first and then promoted the talented ones.
While Zhou Qian was here, household registration matters had already begun.
"Yes." Except for Yue Ji, everyone else seemed to be a little afraid of him.
But fear is not a bad thing.
Dragons and snakes are mixed together on Heiyun Mountain. It is definitely not a good thing for a village leader who is not feared by others.
Seeing that the harvest was coming, the moths flew out again.
The scout reported that several groups of people were sneaking around Sishui Castle. There was no doubt that they were coming for the mature crops in the fields.
It’s not easy to farm a field in peace these days.
"Find out where the troops are from?"
"Our people have followed, there are four groups, two from Jing County in the east, one from Mi County in the southeast, and one from Xuanyuan Mountain in the south!" Zhang Shengye, the scout commander, said.
"Xuanyuan Mountain?"
I was so busy during this period that I almost forgot about them.
Li Yue was sure to resist any of them, but if the four groups continued to harass them, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The ripe food at the foot of the mountain will definitely not be saved.
Wei Shan received the news and rushed over angrily, "You are such a brave thief. Do you think you don't know the reputation of Black Cloud Mountain?"
Li Yue smiled and said: "Wealth and silk are so touching. What we grow in our fields are not crops, but gold!"
Black Cloud Mountain swallowed up Jijiabao, and the surrounding evil wolves also wanted to take a piece of the pie.
"If they dare to come, they will be killed without a trace!" Wei Shan punched the air.
He is not the only one who is confident. Heiyun Mountain is always preparing for war, with its eyes on the Jieren, and naturally does not take others into consideration.
Li Yue said: "If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be able to fight a hundred battles. Let the scouts find out their details first."
"Follow the order!" Zhang Shengye said with cupped hands.
In the afternoon of the next day, news from the scouts came back one after another.
The terrain of Heiyun Mountain and Bishui Fort is relatively high, so they were not greatly affected by the flood. However, Jingxian County is located in the hinterland of the plain. Half of the crops were destroyed by the flood, making it impossible to make a living. They gathered on the side of the river, and saw the vitality of Bishui Fort. Exuberant, he naturally started to think about it.
But they were thinking about the food in Heiyun Mountain, and Li Yue was thinking about their people.
If we want to drive out Jienu and restore our country, more than 10,000 people will definitely not be enough.
The two groups in Xuanyuan Mountain and Mi County, like Heiyun Mountain, are places where refugees gather, and they have the idea of taking advantage of others.
Li Yue coveted Xuanyuan Mountain, and as he expanded, Xuanyuan Mountain was also peeping at Black Cloud Mountain.
"My subordinates have asked the soldiers to be ready at all times, just waiting for the thieves to come!" Xu Cheng said confidently.
These words gave Li Yue a flash of inspiration, "Why wait for others to come to your door?"
Two fists are no match for four hands.
Heiyun Mountain has just started to improve. If we fight four opponents at the same time, even if we win, we will suffer huge losses.
Passive defense is tantamount to giving the initiative to others.
In addition, there are always fights near Heiyun Mountain, which will inevitably attract the attention of Jie people.
Wei Shan's eyes lit up, "The general is saying..."
"Take the initiative and kill as a warning to others!" Li Yue pointed to the location of Shangjing County on the sand table.
Jing County is the closest to Sishui Fort.
Other forces may be scared away, but the floods in Jingxian County have left the refugees unable to make a living, so they will not give up easily.
"General's brilliant plan!" Xu Cheng admired.
Wei Shandao: "Then this battle will be handled by my subordinates!"
Li Yue originally wanted to go there in person, but when he thought that he was gone and Zhou Qian was not around, something could easily happen on the mountain, so he gave up the idea, "This battle must bring out the prestige of our Black Cloud Mountain. In addition, we must leave more people alive, and we will Bring the captives back to the mountain.”
"Take the order!" Wei Shan said, cupping his fists.
"Xuanyuan Mountain must also be on guard. Scouts contact Leader Cui."
Cui Jin has been away for two or three months, but no news has been sent back during this period, and no one knows what happened.
It's hard to say anything these days.
If it doesn't work, Li Yue wants Cui Jin to come back. Heiyun Mountain is really short of manpower. It's hard to find a literate person these days.
The next day, Wei Shan set out with more than 200 donkey and mule cavalry and 300 armored soldiers.
Looking at the cavalry team composed of donkeys and mules, Li Yue felt as if he was laughing or laughing.
Actual combat is the standard for testing everything. Whether it works or not depends on how this battle goes.
War is used to nourish war, and war is used to train troops.
Their morale was very high. Many of them roared like donkeys, even more cheerfully than donkeys, and gradually disappeared into the distant wilderness.
