Scouts began to descend the mountain intensively to detect news from the north and south.
Gong County is sandwiched between Luoyang and Chenggao, and it is impossible for Jie people to turn a blind eye.
Now that the large grain fields are about to mature, they are even more attracted.
If they were just Jie people, Li Yue wouldn't mind a defensive battle in Gong County, but Zhang Yu in the south was more deadly.
More than 13,000 people have gathered in Mi County, and the number of troops is still increasing.
Once Zhang Yu's troops break through the Jishui Fort, Li Yue's core grain-producing area will be directly exposed to Zhang Yu's troops, and half a year's hard work will be in vain.
So some trade-offs must be made.
"Luoyang is the heartland of the Jie people. Even if our army wins, it will only lead to greater revenge from the Jie people. Gong County has no population, so abandon it. Zhang Yufang will be in serious trouble there." Zhou Qian also agreed to abandon Gong County.
Wei Shandao: "Gongxian has been operating for a year and is the frontier of Luochuan. It is a pity to give up at this time..."
"It's no pity. Heiyun Mountain is weak, so we can't get caught up in the pull with the Jie people in advance. If they want it, give it to them and take it back later!" Li Yue spoke, and there wasn't much opposition.
Liang Xiao took three thousand young men to grab grain.
Immature crops can be made into fodder to feed livestock.
The situation is urgent and there is no room for procrastination.
This time, looking at Zhang Yu's posture, he had already made up his mind to deal with Black Cloud Mountain.
Li Yue sent people to Xiangyang to see if he could seek help from Huan Wen. Huan Wen had a huge influence in Jiangdong. Zhang Yu would tremble three times with just two words.
It's best not to fight, so that everyone can live in peace.
But this seems to be just Li Yue's wishful thinking.
Within ten days, the people who went south came back, and they even brought someone back to analyze the situation in Jiangdong for Li Yue.
"I'm Xi Yizhi. I've met the general." The scholar, who was in his mid-thirties, handed over his hand.
Most of the people in Jiangdong are well-dressed, elegant, and dressed in Tsing Yi, giving them a somewhat fairy-like air.
There are more people with the word "Zhi" in their names than Taoist sects.
Because Buddhism came from the Western Regions, Shi Hu called it Hu Sect and highly praised it.
The people of Jin Dynasty traveled south with their clothes, and the Five Pecks of Rice religion followed them southward. Taoism began to prosper, entered the circle of celebrities, and became a trend.
"Sir, there is no need to be polite." Li Yue responded politely.
Xi Yi's way: "Zhang Yu sought refuge with the Xie family, and the Xie family had always been attached to the Wang family. The Wang family and Huan Gong were at odds with each other. After Huan Gong conquered Shu, his prestige soared, which aroused Jiankang's fear. The imperial court valued Yin Hao and Yin Hao. Xun Xian wanted to counter Duke Huan, and Zhang Yu sent troops not only with the support of the Xie family, but also with the tacit approval of Yin and Xun."
The temple is small and the wind is strong, and the pond is shallow and there are many bastards.
Huan Wen rose up in Jingxiang and occupied the upper reaches of the river. Jiangdong didn't even have half of the country, so there were so many ruins.
"In other words, this battle is inevitable?" Li Yue's scalp went numb after hearing this. Judging from Xi Yizhi's meaning, it seemed that they also wanted to fight?
Last time, they took advantage of Xuanyuan Mountain. This time in the battle on the plains, the advantage of Heiyun Mountain was not that of Zhang Yu.
Xi Yizhi's eyes flashed, "If the general can defeat Zhang Yu, it will be of great benefit to Duke Huan."
From Jing Xiang's standpoint, he naturally hopes to use the help of Black Cloud Mountain to suppress the Wang and Xie families and defeat Yin Hao and Xun Xian.
Jiankang has actually entered the stage of shared governance, and the young emperor Sima Dan is just their puppet.
Huan Wen had the power to destroy the country, and he was so powerful and powerful. How could he be willing to succumb to King Xie Yinxun?
You can touch the Sima family, why can't I, Huan Wen?
During the Eight Kings Rebellion, Yi Guan traveled south, the emperor's dignity of the Sima family had been trampled under his feet, and powerful ministers challenged the imperial power one after another.
When the Sima family first arrived in Jiankang, local powerful people in Jiangdong rebelled one after another in an attempt to drive away the "cowards" from the north.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was actually the northern nobles who suppressed the Jiangdong natives. The Jiankang court was basically dominated by the northern nobles, while the Jiangdong natives were excluded.
Even Zhou Qi, who had made great contributions to the south of the Yangtze River three times, was squeezed out and died in depression. Before he died, he told his son Zhou Xie: "Those who kill me are my sons. If they can recover, they are my sons."
Li Yue rubbed his forehead and said, "I know what to do."
Xi Yizhi said meaningfully: "Gong Huan is waiting for the general's victory in Jiangling."
There is no doubt that this battle was Heiyun Mountain's surrender to Huan Wen.
Li Yue said with a cheeky face: "Heiyun Mountain is narrow and weak, Zhang Yu has many soldiers and many generals. I wonder... can Jing Xiang give some support?"
"Don't you know, General? Zhang Yu has sealed off the entire territory of Yuzhou. Even if Jing Xiang wants to support him, he won't be able to get through." Xi Yizhi looked like a smile but not a smile.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Yue suddenly saw a trace of contempt and teasing in his eyes.
By adding "郗" and "Zhi", you can see the family behind him.
Although the Xi family was also a refugee commander in the north, they held a high position in Jiangdong. After three generations, they had already become a noble family that looked down on all living beings...
After sending Xi Yizhi away, Li Yue fell into deep thought.
It feels uncomfortable to be a knife in the hands of others, and the backers are not so easy to rely on. There are all kinds of calculations behind every step.
Zhang Yu gained the support of the Xie family and became more powerful. He killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses to himself.
Heiyun Mountain succeeded and attacked Wang Xunyin's power.
If Black Cloud Mountain fails and suffers heavy losses, it will be easier for Jing Xiang to control them. Even if the entire army is wiped out, it will not have much impact on them.
Huan Wen will never lose.
Moreover, Zhang Yu also had another identity, the governor of Yuzhou in Jie Zhao.
What would Li Nong think and Yecheng think if he fought with him again and just calmed things down?
So regardless of victory or defeat, at the political level, Heiyun Mountain loses.
"It's really a mess." Li Yue smiled bitterly. It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Huan Wen cannot offend, but offending Wang Xie Yinxun is not a good thing.
Huan Wen was able to expedition to the north, and so was Wang Xie Yin Xun.
By then, Heiyun Mountain may not be able to survive Huanwen's Northern Expedition.
"General, Chief Zhou and Commander Cui are asking for an audience." Hu Yanhei reported outside the house.
"Oh, please come quickly." One person is short-term, and three people are long-term.
This battle is not only about the food of Heiyun Mountain, but also the direction of Heiyun Mountain in the future.
Since ancient times, small powers have to pay a price for relying on big forces as their backers.
When the two of them entered, Li Yue spoke out the conversation just now.
Zhou Qian cupped his hands and said, "General, it's hard work and hard work to get what you have today. There is only a glimmer of hope in Black Cloud Mountain. How can we fight Zhang Yu in a decisive battle?"
Cui Jin said: "Today let us attack Zhang Yu, and let us fight the Jie people tomorrow. Heiyun Mountain is exhausted. With all due respect, the Jiangdong clan has never regarded the north as a human being. Even if the general serves the Huan family, he will not do it in the future." There will be benefits.”
With their words, Li Yue felt relieved. He was most afraid that the people around him would be full of illusions about Nanmian.
This shows that these days of ideological lessons were not in vain.
Li Yue said: "It's good to be a dog for others and can chew a few bones. It's not advisable to get too involved in Jiangdong's affairs. Heiyun Mountain has its own way."
After understanding the layout of Jiangdong, Li Yue had no hope at all, unless he was also from a noble family.
However, it is not advisable to offend them too much at the moment, as it is inevitable to act on occasion.
Zhang Yu is not easy to defeat. This person has always been cautious in using his troops.
If this drags on, there will always be people in Jiankang and Jiangling who lose their temper.
This is also a plan that Li Yue has been brewing for a long time. "The army will follow me down the mountain and enter the Lishui Castle. The second brother is in Xuanyuan Mountain as a horned force. If there are many suspicious soldiers, we might as well put on a show for the south to see!"
Keeping a low profile is not to be a dog for others, but to wait for the opportunity to turn into a tiger or wolf.
