Li Yue was still training soldiers in Heiyun Mountain, and reports from the north were coming like snowflakes.
Liang Du is almost invincible and has entered Luoyang from Chang'an.
Li Nong's situation was very bad. He was defeated twice and had less than 30,000 men at his disposal. As for his morale, it fell to the bottom.
If it weren't for Chenggao's Sishui Pass to barely resist, Liang Du would have probably entered Hebei.
The fierce performance of the Gaoli Guards also made Heiyun Mountain, which defeated them in the first place, stand out.
The Zheng family sent a large amount of assistance, including a thousand sets of brand-new iron armor, ring-shou knives, spears, and even more than 120 refined long spears. The Zheng family controlled the Xingyang Iron Workshop and made weapons for Jie and Zhao all the year round. Things can still be taken out.
In addition to these weapons, more than 1,300 war horses and 10,000 stones of grain were also sent.
Now Liangdu's fierce dragon is crossing the river. Once Xingyang is conquered, the Zheng family, a local snake, will bear the brunt.
Heiyun Mountain could have abandoned Bishui Castle and Lishui Castle, huddled on the mountain and ignored worldly affairs, but the Zheng family's property was around Xingyang, and the monks could escape but not the temple.
However, the Gaoli Imperial Guard did not take the shortcut to Mengjin and Hanoi, but chose to go to the Central Plains where there were many important towns. In order to supply food and weapons in the Central Plains area, they then fought a decisive battle with Yecheng.
"The leader of the clan has only one request. We must stop the rebels. These supplies are just preliminary support. If the leader of the village is not enough, I, the Zheng family, will do our best to sell iron and steel!" Zheng Hui said, patting his chest.
"They are all from the village. If the Zheng family is in trouble, I, Heiyunshan, have no one to blame!" Li Yue slapped his thigh, very generous.
The last time they resisted Zhang Yu, everyone had already established mutual trust.
Nowadays, it is reasonable to have money to contribute money and strength to contribute.
At the same time, Chen Duan, Chen Liu's beggar army, also came with two thousand cavalry and gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Li Yue went down the mountain to greet him.
There is still a lot of loyalty within the begging army. Over the past year, Chen Duan has provided a lot of support to Heiyun Mountain. As long as something happens, they will never hesitate and come with a knife.
"The army of beggars are united. Mr. Li is in trouble, and none of us can stay out of it!" Chen Duan was over forty years old, and like most people in this era, his temples had turned gray early.
Half of the beggar army behind him also had white temples like him and wore tattered leather armor. Only the two or three hundred people around Chen Duan wore rusty iron armor.
Weapons are also diverse, including spears, swords, hoes...
The winter has just passed, and the ice and snow on the ground have not yet melted. Many people are still wearing only a single piece of clothing, and the war horses are so weak that they can be blown down by a gust of wind.
It's not like they go to the battlefield to fight, but they form a group to beg for food...
The only thing worthy of praise is that they showed a faint aura of murder.
"This is natural. Chief Chen, please be patient. Within three days, Heiyun Mountain will definitely send troops." It was not Li Yue who was delaying, but Zhu Xu who was on his way.
Liang Du's rebellion also affected Huan Wen's heart in Jingxiang.
It's always good to have more strength. Liang Du has an army of 100,000 tigers and wolves, and the gap between 4,000 and 5,000 men on the black cloud is too big.
However, Chen Duan is impatient and is not willing to wait for three days. "Rescuing troops is like putting out a fire. You take care of things from behind, and I will go ahead first!"
"Chief Chen, wait a moment." Li Yue waved his hand and asked Qing Zhuang to carry down leather armor, straw clothes, straw shoes, grain, weapons and other supplies.
Although the begging army is fierce, Liang Du is even more desperate.
Chen Duan's eyes lit up when he saw these things, and he immediately sighed with emotion, "I, Chen Duan, will remember the kindness of today."
"Since we are one family with the same spirit, why do we need to speak two different languages?" Li Yue said with a smile.
Chen Duan also looked up to the sky and laughed, divided the things and left.
Liang Du's rebellion was tantamount to tearing open the outer skin of Jie and Zhao's external strength.
Li Yue originally wanted to secretly support Liang Du.
However, Black Cloud Mountain's strength is limited and it cannot afford food for 100,000 rebels.
Liang Du burned, killed, and plundered all the way, without caring for the rear, and rushed straight to Yecheng with red eyes, just for revenge, and both jade and stone were destroyed. How could it last?
If he secretly supports Liang Du now and is found out in the future, he will be secluded from the Central Plains.
Two days later, Zhu Xu arrived in a hurry. The two thousand Jin troops were highly motivated, well-equipped, and extremely elite.
Zhu Xu cupped his hands and said: "Liang Du captured Luoyang, the world was shaken, and the deadline for Jie and Zhao has come. Before leaving, Duke Huan said that the leader of the village can follow Liang Du and attack Yecheng. General Huan will follow him with his elite troops. When things are accomplished, the imperial court will not hesitate to reward him with a title, and his name will go down in history, all within the village owner's thoughts."
This rebellion tore open the outer skin of Jie Zhao's external strength and internal affairs.
Jingxiang and Jiangdong are both deploying for the Northern Expedition.
It does seem to be a good opportunity for the Jiangdong court.
But if Li Yuer really did what Huan Wen said, he would probably die without a burial place.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Jie Zhao is not weak enough to challenge Black Cloud Mountain. Huan Wen is trying to make a big cake for himself and push himself into the fire pit.
"Although Jie Zhao is in decline, Shi Hu is still there. Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong and others in Hebei have not moved, and there are thousands of troops in Heiyun Mountain. How can they be the enemy of the Hu people?" Li Yue finally understood the face of the Jiangdong court.
Neither Xie Shang nor Huan Wen had any good intentions. They had always regarded themselves as cannon fodder.
Just like Zu Ti, Li Ju, Zu Yue, Su Jun and others in the past, when they use it, they trick you into rushing forward, and when they don't use it, they just kick you away...
The reward of becoming a prince and being famous in history may be very tempting to others.
But to Li Yue, it was a joke. So far, the Jiangdong court has not seen any reaction. A rogue general even took it back...
To some extent, Huan Wen underestimated himself.
Zhu Xu raised his brows and said, "It all depends on man. The Yongjia Rebellion, the Northern Kingdom's fall, Jie Zhao's cruelty, harming our people, and now they are attacking each other, which is the cause of heaven's destruction. The leader of the village is a Jin man, how can he stay out of the matter?"
"Then wait until Duke Huan raises his troops for the Northern Expedition!" In this battle, Li Yue had the absolute initiative, and naturally he would not be fooled by Huan Wen's words.
According to the trajectory of history, this rebellion only shook Jie Zhao, rather than overthrowing it.
The real drama is yet to come.
If I rush forward at this time, aren't I looking for death?
"The leader of the village..." Zhu Xu looked disappointed.
Li Yueneng felt that his loyalty seemed a bit out of place in this era.
How many people in Jiangdong are really willing to expedition to the north to restore the Central Plains and relieve the people from hanging?
As long as Sima Jun and his ministers have this intention, the world will not be in such chaos.
"The situation in the North Country is like that of the North Country. If you want to do something big, Heiyun Mountain is weak, so you can only go with the trend! For today's matter, I will raise troops to attack Liangdu first and help Li Nong. I wonder if you are willing to lend a helping hand?"
The two thousand elite Jin troops are still useful.
Zhu Xu lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally said: "Gong Huan has one more thing to say. If the leader of the village is unwilling to send troops to Yecheng, I will let you follow the order of the leader of the village."
Li Yue felt depressed for a while, why didn't he say this earlier?
Maybe Huan Wen also felt that attacking Yecheng was unreliable, but it was Zhu Xu's personal opinion that he insisted on.
"Then without further ado, raise your troops quickly!"
