When the plague was still in its infancy, Xingyang Governor Zheng Du closed the city gate early and cooperated with Luozhou Governor Liu Guo to drive the refugees south.
Therefore, Xingyang still retains some popularity.
In the prefect's mansion, several people were talking loudly.
"In the battle of Zuoqiao, the forward of the Jin army was defeated. Gong Hu, who joined the army, was killed in the battle. The arrows of the Han army were shot in front of Huan Wen's horse. The battle was fierce and the left and right sides were eclipsed. All the generals were frightened and wanted to retreat. But at this moment, the drummer mistakenly attacked Gu, Yuan Qiao and other generals took advantage of the situation and led their troops to fight to the death. Huan Wen's military governor covered them up and turned defeat into victory. The leader of the Han Dynasty, Li Shi, fled ninety miles at night and finally surrendered..."
A young man in brocade clothes was reading the Di newspaper.
Huan Wen regained Shuzhong and received great help from heaven.
"In the Battle of the Divine Bird, Ma Qiu's 120,000 troops were defeated by Xie Ai's 20,000 cavalry. From this point of view, destiny is in Jin, and Hu Yun must be in decline!"
The Chenghan Dynasty was founded by the Di people. The first two generations of monarchs were relatively protective of the people. However, when Li Shi and his sons came to be, they were exactly the same as Shi Hu. They built massive construction projects, killed innocent people indiscriminately, abused criminal laws and harmed the Han people, and everyone was in danger.
Now that Chenghan was destroyed and Ma Qiu was defeated, the people of the Northern Kingdom were greatly inspired.
Everyone in the hall is either a nephew of the Zheng family or a disciple of the Zheng family. They are both talented and knowledgeable, handsome and handsome, and have the demeanor of celebrities.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Zheng Du himself often regarded himself as a celebrity, and most of his subordinates were also "celebrities".
Nephew Zheng Sheng cupped his hands and said: "The king's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and the dispute between the prince and the prince has become more and more fierce. I look down and see that a great chaos is just around the corner. King Pengcheng is the nephew of the Zheng family, and Xingyang lives in the world. My uncle that morning prepare for!"
Zheng Yingtao had two sons. The eldest son was the notorious first prince Shi Sui, and the second son was Shi Zun, the king of Pengcheng.
Shi Sui was killed, and Zheng Yingtao, who had only been queen for eight months, was deposed as the Dowager Princess of the East China Sea.
"With your master's talents, why should you stoop to others?" A guest said with his hands raised.
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes were like wild wolves darting in the wilderness.
In this world, no matter whether they have strength or not, they are all ambitious.
Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a standard process for relatives to ascend to the throne. Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and Jin Zhun, who massacred Liu Yuan's family more than 20 years ago...
Zheng Du was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, and was related to Zheng Yingying, so he was uniquely blessed.
However, the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Man, believed that the risk was too great and had a bad reputation for assisting the Hu people, so he never supported him very much. In so many years, he only managed to get a Xingyang prefect.
Zheng Du may not be as ambitious as Cao Cao or Sima Yi, but he still has the interest to climb up.
If Shi Zun, the king of Pengcheng, can sit on it, Zheng Du will naturally rise to the occasion.
When the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more heated, a servant suddenly came to report, "Report to the prefect, Heiyun Mountain rejects... the in-laws!"
"I don't know how to praise!" Zheng Du's expression suddenly changed. This was the second time that Heiyun Mountain rejected him.
For this marriage, Zheng Du specially adopted a porter's daughter as his adopted daughter, changed her surname to Zheng, and promised to promote her to the rank of captain. Such a generous offer was actually rejected...
"Heiyun Mountain has been famous for recruiting exiles and curing plagues in recent times. Since it doesn't obey orders, it can't be kept!" Zheng Shenghan said with a face.
Zheng Du glanced at him sideways, and then glanced at the "celebrities" in the hall. It was easy for them to talk loudly, recite poems and compose poems, but it was impossible for them to fight with the bandits in Heiyun Mountain.
The Zheng family does not lack "famous people", but they lack people who can lead the charge.
Black Cloud Mountain is famous for its fierce reputation, and it even defeated the Gaoli Imperial Guard...
This is also the reason why Zheng Du tried his best to win over Heiyunshan.
"After raising dogs for so many years, it's time to let them move!" Zheng Du quickly regained his composure.
"It's better for my nephew to go there himself." Zheng Sheng's eyes were a bit gloomy...
In Black Cloud Mountain, the cold wind is howling.
But the mountain was filled with joy.
Zhou Qian and Cao Kan, who had been away for three or four months, finally came back, bringing back more than a thousand kilograms of salt.
However, of the more than 400 people who set off, only about 200 remained.
"It was quite a twist to get the salt this time. The Jie people had two cavalry in Anyi, patrolling day and night, and the guards were tight. Their subordinates observed for many days before finding an opportunity. On the way back, they met Shi Xuan hunting in Hanoi. , the road is closed, so we have to go around Xiaoshan Mountain and enter Funiu Mountain..."
Zhou Qian said it was easy, but Li Yue knew how difficult this trip was.
Detouring around Mount Wei, we took Hongnong County, which added nearly a thousand miles of mountain road.
The fact that more than two hundred people came back shows that they are determined.
"So, this road is blocked?"
More than two hundred people exchanged for one thousand kilograms of salt. This business was a huge loss.
Zhou Qian cupped his hands and said, "No, there is a lot to be done about this matter!"
"Oh?" Li Yue was surprised.
"When I first went there, I didn't know the path and had to fight through thorns and thorns in the mountains, so I delayed it for a long time. Now I have figured out the rules of the Jie people's cavalry, and all the joints have been opened. My subordinates guarantee that next time I can get it ten times or dozens of times!"
Zhou Qian is a cautious person and should not talk nonsense.
Money and silk attract people's hearts. Salt can not only be used by oneself, but can also be sold to other states and counties, making huge profits.
Today's Heiyun Mountain is more short of supplies than before.
Salt can be used as money in this era!
"Okay, I will leave this matter to you and Cao Kan. You can choose the salt camp of two thousand young men. The equipment will satisfy you first." Li Yue is not a hypocritical person. What can be done these days?
"Two thousand troops? You can go directly to grab the salt from the Jie people." Cao Kan was stunned.
Wei Shan laughed loudly, "You two don't know. In the past few months since you left, our Heiyun Mountain has become quite prosperous! Everything is lacking in the mountain, except for people."
Zhou Qian looked admiring, "When I saw the general that day, I knew he was an extraordinary person!"
Although the words were flattery, they were also quite kind.
Li Yue said: "The success of Heiyun Mountain today is not due to me alone. It all depends on everyone's concerted efforts."
People carry people in sedan chairs.
Wei Shan, Zhou Qian, Xu Cheng, Xin Can, Cao Kan and others around him all looked excited.
With this thousand kilograms of salt, the urgent need on the mountain is temporarily solved.
There is no perfect road for everyone, difficulties can be overcome step by step, and there are no obstacles in the world that cannot be overcome.
Now that we have coal, people, and iron ore, we naturally have to start building weapons and armor.
Li Yue vaguely remembered that Jie Zhao had been in chaos in the past few years, with endless fighting between the north and the south of the river.
"General, our iron mine was robbed and seventeen of our brothers were killed!" the scout hurriedly reported.
"Who is so bold!" Wei Shan was furious on the spot.
"Who else could it be?" Li Yue asked.
Of the two factions, black and white, there is no one but Xuanyuan Mountain who dares to attack Heiyun Mountain.
What is to come will always come.
They were originally at odds with Xuanyuan Mountain, but now that there are iron mines, both sides are even more jealous.
Heiyun Mountain does not dare to expand into the plains, but it can develop into the mountains.
In addition, the reason why Heiyun Mountain has developed to its current scale is actually due to fighting, defeating the Gaoli Imperial Guard to obtain iron armor, and annexing Jijiabao to obtain farmland.
Xuanyuan Mountain is located behind Black Cloud Mountain and has always been unwilling to form an alliance, so it will always be a hidden danger.
Just when Li Yue was sharpening his sword, Cui Jin's secret message came at this moment: "Xuanyuan Mountain mutiny, Guo Shi was killed, attacking the iron mine is a tactic to lure the enemy, don't do it lightly!"
