Zheng Du's banquet was extremely sumptuous.
Xingyang City was not poisoned by Liang Du, and he knew exactly whose credit it was.
The table was filled with pots of chicken, duck, fish and mutton, and Zheng Du also took great care to prepare wine.
The soldiers had been fighting for a day, and by this time they were tired and thirsty, and their eyes were straight.
Li Yue said loudly: "You can eat as much meat as you want, but no wine!"
When you go out, take precautions for everything.
Inside and outside Xingyang City, various forces gather together, with many friends and many enemies.
Li Yue has made a great contribution and stands at the forefront of the storm, so it is inevitable that he will be hated by others.
Historically, Li Keyong went south to rescue Zhu Wen and defeated Huang Chao's army, but he was almost killed by Zhu Wen's drink at Shangyuanyi...
Li Yuejun gave an order, and no one in the Black Cloud Army touched the wine bottle anymore, but only ate meat.
The successive victories increased Li Yue's prestige and made the military orders deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Li Nong raised his eyebrows and said, "Being careful and managing the army is a great general's talent."
Li Yue's ears felt calloused by these compliments.
Zheng Du took the initiative to apologize, "It's because I didn't think well. I hope the leader of the village will forgive me."
"Don't dare, don't dare, lead the army outside, be cautious every step."
"In that case, the word "Xing Jin" is correct." Li Nong took a sip of wine and coughed quietly.
"Yue Neng is today because of Sikong's support." Li Yue flattered him.
Unexpectedly, Li Nong coughed even louder. After he finished coughing, he shook his head and said, "I am old and useless. I am not feeling well. You can do what you want."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
But after he left, everyone became more relaxed.
Li Yue's military order was only valid for the Black Cloud Army, and Bo Wu, Chen Duan and other generals still drank happily.
There was an endless stream of people coming to toast Li Yue, all leaders of the begging army.
There was a military order in front of him, so Li Yue offered water instead of wine. Everyone didn't feel that he was being disrespected, so they rushed to come.
I originally thought that the beggar army consisted of Guangzong and Chenliu, but I didn't expect that there were many hills, including Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Bingzhou.
There are thousands of large ones and hundreds of small ones.
Just like Li Yue did at the beginning, he occupied the mountain as a general and guarded the dock.
They say they are an army, but in fact they are the people of the North who hold together to keep warm under the name of a beggar army. Under Shi Hu’s perverse actions, otherwise they would not be able to survive at all...
It’s not just the Jin people who complain about keeping warm, the Qiang, Di, Huns, and Xianbei people also complain.
Such a glorious battle greatly improved Li Yue's status in the begging army.
Even surpassing Bo Wu, Chen Duan, Dong Run and others, and only below Li Nong.
Of course, there is Zhang Liang, the general who conquered the east, in front of him.
In today's grand gathering, he was not seen.
Everyone was drunk, but only Li Yue and Hei Yunjun were sober.
I don’t know if he drank too much, but Chen Duan said loudly with a face full of alcohol: "The leader of the village is young and promising. This killing of Liang Du is something that has not happened in decades. It has greatly boosted our morale in the Central Plains. From now on, I, Chen Duan, will stay here." The begging army must obey the command of the village master!"
As soon as these words came out, the place fell silent instantly.
The leaders of the begging army, large and small, all looked at Li Yue with bright eyes.
Li Yue suddenly realized that this banquet was not simple. No wonder Li Nong frowned and pretended to be sick to leave.
"General Chen is serious. All the beggars in the world are one family! From now on, we will help each other when we have difficulties, and we will never let others ride on our foreheads!" Li Yue said loudly.
The purpose of this life-and-death battle is to win people's hearts!
This is the biggest bonus!
"Okay! The village leader's words are enough!" Chen Duan's face was full of excitement.
Wei Shan muttered: "It's too weird to call him the leader of the village."
Chen Duan immediately handed over his hand: "Meet the general!"
"Meet the general!" Nearly half of the leaders of the beggar army bowed their hands to Li Yue.
Most of these leaders came from Luo, Yu, and Yanzhou south of the Yellow River.
Dong Run, Gao Kai and others under Li Nong bowed their hands politely.
They were Guangzong's begging army, held the official position of Jie Zhao, and were Li Nong's cronies, so naturally they could not join Li Yue.
However, it is enough to obtain the support of the beggar army south of the Yellow River.
This is just the first step. If there is chaos in Jie and Zhao in the future, who knows what the situation in Hebei will be like?
When Li Yue was in Black Cloud Mountain, he never dreamed that he would be here today!
Everyone was in high spirits, drank wine, and danced with their hands and feet. All the tall and thick men actually danced, spinning around in circles with the help of the wine, which was quite joyful.
During the Han and Wei dynasties, scholars liked to "dance to each other" as a social etiquette.
Not jumping means not giving face, not turning in circles means disrespecting others...
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Tao Qian was the magistrate of Shu County. Zhang Pan, the governor of Lujiang, wanted to get close to the younger Tao Qian. At a banquet, Zhang Pan invited Tao Qian to dance. Tao Qian refused to dance. Zhang Pan forced him to pull him up. Tao Qian reluctantly danced but failed. After turning around, the two became enemies, and Tao Qian abandoned his official position and left.
Being with these bloody men, Li Yue didn't have much restraint. He imitated their hands and feet to dance, enjoying himself, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
The commotion lasted until dawn and then dispersed.
The soldiers had eaten enough and had already returned to the camp to rest. Only Hu Yanhei, Yang Lue, and Zhang Zhuer took turns patrolling the night with the soldiers.
Li Yue spent a day on the battlefield, worked hard, and even danced for midnight when he came back. By this time, he was already so sleepy that he fell down on the straw mat and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept when I was suddenly woken up by Hu Yanhei, “General, there is an urgent military situation.”
Li Yue was stunned for a moment and forced himself to wake up, "What happened?"
"Mr. Chang just sent a secret message." Hu Yanhei held a small piece of cloth in his hands. It was not a common piece of silk, but seemed to be cut from the corner of his clothes.
There was only one large, bloody word on the cloth: "Go!"
It's crooked and seems to have been written in a hurry.
Among the people in the beggar army who could completely trust Li Yue, after Bo Wu, the only one left was Chang Wei.
He is a traditional scholar who cares about the common people. Li Yue saved the plague in Heiyun Mountain and won his favor. Since then, he has been secretly helping him.
Under what circumstances would he write a letter in blood as a warning?
Li Yue had a bad feeling in his heart.
It's a pity that there is no one around to discuss it now.
Having to fight both external enemies and internal battles is extremely stressful. If you make a wrong step, you will be doomed.
At this moment, the guard outside said: "Sikong sent someone to summon the general to the Zheng Mansion to discuss important matters!"
"I know." Li Yue's heart moved. Chang Wei had just come to warn him, and Li Nong summoned him?
In this battle, his reputation has reached its peak, rising like a comet and appearing in front of everyone.
However, Li Nong suffered successive defeats and gradually lost his support.
Once there is chaos in Jie Zhao, Li Yue, the beggar army of Guangzong, will not know, but the beggar army south of the river will definitely follow the lead of Heiyun Mountain!
Who is least likely to see the rise of Black Cloud Mountain?
The more Li Yue thought about it, the more chilled he became. Wherever there are people, there must be infighting!
But he just left in such a dejected manner?
What do other people think?
When people reach a certain point, they can only move forward but not retreat. Even if they know it is a pit, they have to step on it!
Li Yue stood up and walked out of the mansion. Outside, five hundred soldiers in armor and swords stood guarding the mansion.
The middle base is one's own army and has the responsibility of guarding.
