Li Yue took the secret letter and read it for a long time.
The handwriting is Cui Jin's, and the person is also the meticulous workmanship of Heiyunshan, so there will be no mistakes.
So the question is, continue to be content and turn a blind eye to the harassment of Xuanyuan Mountain?
The relationship between the two parties cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be too bad. If Xuanyuan Mountain covets iron ore, it can be brought up in another non-harmful way, just like Zhang Yu did when he besieged Heiyun Mountain.
A tacit understanding has been established.
Equal division between the two sides is not negotiable.
When Guo Shi was killed, this tacit understanding disappeared, leaving only a dead end and a broken net.
In addition, Cui Jin went to Xuanyuan Mountain to ambush for several months, and had no idea how powerful Heiyun Mountain was now. His "not to be moved lightly" did not mean that he could not move lightly.
"General, what should we do?" Xu Cheng looked at Li Yue.
The people around him also looked expectant, as if a pack of wolves had smelled something fishy.
In the past, when there were only a few soldiers, Li Yue and Wei Shan were the ones holding the scene. Now that Zhou Qian and Cao Kan are back, there are more people around them.
"Isn't Xuanyuan Mountain trying to seduce us? We might as well see if they have such a big appetite." Li Yue stared at the sand table, calculating over and over again in his mind.
In the past, I was powerless, so I could only choose to live in peace with Xuanyuan Mountain.
Now that Heiyun Mountain has the strength to swallow Xuanyuan Mountain, even if the nearby Jingxian County is added, Heiyun Mountain can fully cope with it, unless... like last time, Yuzhou Governor Zhang Yu intervenes.
Wei Shan said: "Haha, that's how it should be. The people in Xuanyuan Mountain have no future, so why not follow us to get rid of the Jie slaves!"
Zhou Qian frowned and said: "Since Xuanyuan Mountain is a mutiny, it must be unstable internally. It is indeed a good opportunity."
If you think about it carefully, this mutiny is a bit strange.
Guo Shi had been in charge of Xuanyuan for decades. He was highly respected and scheming, yet he could capsize so easily.
It's just a matter of capsizing. Under normal circumstances, just after the mutiny, you need to stabilize the internal situation and not provoke powerful enemies in a hurry...
Unless, there is another more powerful force behind them affecting them.
Li Yue coughed and said, "Will Zhang Yu also be involved?"
Caution makes Wannian Ship, Xuanyuan Mountain has to eat, but maybe be cautious.
"Should...no?" Wei Shan frowned.
Zhou Qian's eyes lit up, "60% possible!"
This kind of thing cannot be left to chance, Zhang Yu will definitely come, and Li Yue vaguely feels that there is a bigger conspiracy surrounding Heiyun Mountain.
Paper cannot contain the fire. With tens of thousands of people in Heiyun Mountain, will the surrounding forces remain indifferent?
Even if they don't take action this time, they will still face strangulation from Luozhou and Yuzhou. With the small area of Heiyun Mountain, they will be trapped to death sooner or later.
Just like Li Ju at the time, he repeatedly defeated the Jie people on the frontal battlefield, but Shi Hu changed his tactics and focused on robbing people, destroying cultivated land, and harassing Li Ju's rear. In the end, Li Ju could no longer support him.
Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to annex Xuanyuan Mountain and expand the living space.
"Listen to the order! Xu Cheng led the three thousand death camp as the forward, Wei Shan led the two thousand soldiers behind, Zhou led three thousand young men to pretend to attack Mi County, and contained Xuchang's reinforcements. I myself led one thousand young men to the rear. In response, all the troops went out day and night, cut through the mess with sharp swords, fought quickly, and captured Xuanyuan Mountain regardless of casualties!" Li Yue slapped his hand on the wooden case.
No matter what the other party is plotting, throw the first punch first.
There is an essential difference between a war breaking out on the enemy's territory and a war breaking out on one's own territory.
Strike first and gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer disaster. The attacker always has the initiative.
"Follow the order!" Everyone held their hands together.
Xu Cheng whispered: "General, there are not three thousand people in the death camp..."
Wei Shan reminded: "Shouldn't we capture thousands of fleeing thieves? Take them as slaves."
Compassion does not command troops, but makes sacrifices when there are sacrifices to be made.
After more than 20,000 bandits failed to attack the mountain, many people fled. Four to five thousand people were captured by the scouts and were left to eat and drink for free on the mountain. It was their turn to contribute.
Although they are all pioneer battalions, these people are not within the scope of the reward.
Because their status is that of slaves who are even lower than children.
At dusk, the "army" of six thousand gathered. Although the equipment was terrible and many people did not even have a straw coat, their morale was high.
All the old, weak, women and children on the mountain came out to watch.
Worry, trust, joy, expectation... countless eyes gathered together.
The only disharmony was that several people from the death camp were crying and rolling around on the ground, holding on to tree roots. Li Yue didn't tolerate them and ordered his soldiers to behead them directly and hang their heads on the flagpole.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"
Seeing the blood, morale immediately rose, and the old, weak, women and children shouted enthusiastically.
"When fighting, don't look forward and backward. The knife cuts in one place and the spear stabs in another. Just go, I will guard the foundation of the mountain for you!" Bo Wu did not drink as usual, and there was no woman around him.
At critical moments, he is still reliable.
"My nephew will win this battle!" Li Yue was confident.
Bo Wu looked up and smiled, "This way, my heart is at peace!"
On the beautiful Xuanyuan Mountain, everything is as quiet as still water.
The leader of the new village is Guo Ning, Guo Shi's adopted son, and the number one warrior in Xuanyuan Mountain. It is said that he has the power to split tigers and leopards.
After killing Guo Shi, he killed three more leaders before shutting up the others.
Behind Guo Ning, stood a young scholar with a high crown and a crane cloak. A ban sword was hung on his belt, with the hilt at the bottom and the scabbard at the top. This is the Juan-style sword technique commonly used by scholars.
It is convenient for the swordsman to draw the sword quickly.
"Everyone." The young scholar clapped his hands together, revealing the brocade protective shield on his wrist, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army in one moment. Heiyun Mountain is a trouble for the elbows and armpits and must be eliminated."
"For so many years, the Zheng family has been supporting us. Without the Zheng family, you would have died of hunger long ago. How could we be here today? Did you hear Mr. Zheng's words clearly?" Guo Ning's eyes flashed fiercely as he scanned the crowd, but finally fell into Cui Jin, who is in last place.
Only Guo Shi knew Cui Jin's true identity, and it was never made public.
So Guo Ning only knew that Cui Jin and Guo Shi's daughter were unclear.
"What the village leader said is true. Heiyun Mountain is a serious problem for Xuanyuan Mountain and must be eliminated! I have tried to persuade Guo Shi many times, but I have not spoken. As a result, Heiyun Mountain has become so rampant." Cui Jin was the first to speak up. .
Guo Shi was killed, and his old troops supported his daughter Guo Furong. A war was about to begin, but Cui Jin was the first to stand up and support Guo Ning. Somehow, he suppressed Guo Shi's old troops and saved Xuanyuan Mountain from a war. Fire merge.
Guo Ning naturally wanted to kill Cui Jin, but he couldn't find a reason to do so. Secondly, Cui Jin's strength should not be underestimated.
There are other leaders, big and small, on the mountain. If both sides suffer, others will be at an advantage.
Moreover, Zheng Gongzi Zheng Sheng did not agree to kill Cui Jin.
"Leader Cui understands the righteousness, and I, the Zheng family, will bear it in our hearts." Looking at Cui Jinlang's moon-like face, an evil light flashed across Zheng Sheng's eyes. The few prostitutes raised in his family were not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to the people in front of him.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, masculinity was prevalent, and celebrities from the Zhong Ming Ding Shi family often boasted about it.
However, the Zheng family and the Cui family are old enemies.
Shi Hu's first wife was the daughter of the Guo family in Taiyuan. She was slandered and killed by Zheng Yingtao. The Cui family in Qinghe offered her daughter to seek honor, but was also framed by Zheng Yingying until she died, which cut off the Cui family in Qinghe's attachment.
"So how does Chief Cui think we can conquer Black Cloud Mountain?" Zheng Sheng walked to Cui Jin, and the more he looked at this face, the more he felt itchy...
