The Black Cloud Army retreated, and Shi Bin watched on the side of Xushui for two days. Although the scouts found out that the Black Cloud Army had already returned to the city, he still did not dare to cross the river.
Obviously, Xu Shui is the boundary drawn by Li Yue for Shi Bin.
If you don't cross the river, everyone will be safe. Once you cross the river, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The desperate momentum displayed by the Black Cloud Army that day is still fresh in Shi Bin's memory, and the indifference of Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong chilled him even more.
Yao Xiang said: "The thief walked away on his own, which shows his bluff. Your Highness might as well follow him and encircle Xingyang."
Shi Bin mocked, "Does your father think so too?"
Yao Yizhong led thousands of Qiang cavalry and watched the black cloud army cross the river and show off their power...
Yao Xiang heard Shi Bin's dissatisfaction and did not dare to say anything.
Shi Min glanced at him and said, "Since the Black Cloud Army has retreated, there should be no more disputes. His Highness has already made great achievements. If the attack is not successful and His Highness's prestige is damaged, it will not be a good thing."
Shi Bin's eyes flickered on the faces of Yao Xiang and Shi Min, "That's what Ji Nu said! The soldiers fought fiercely for several days and stayed up all night. They urgently needed rest and recuperation. The order was sent to the army to return to Chenliu. Yun Er waited in Chenliu for three days to enjoy themselves. .”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The generals around him were overjoyed, and even their faces were beating.
Nothing can boost military morale more than burning, killing and looting after a big battle.
These are things engraved in their bones.
However, Shi Min, Yao Xiang, and Pu Jian lacked interest.
At this moment, several Hu riders from the north rushed over and read out Shi Hu's edict in front of everyone.
Shi Bin's face lit up when he heard that he had been promoted to prime minister and recorded affairs. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the prime minister was very important, and Shi Bin was a prince. He had all the power inside and outside, and his power had surpassed that of the prince.
Yao Xiang, Pu Jian, Zhang Hedu and other generals all received rewards, promotions or titles, but Shi Min only received gold, silver, silk fields, a house beauty, and the name Ma Baojia. Although it was rich, it was inferior compared to others. Too much.
The military power that Shi Min wanted most was nowhere to be found.
Everyone burst into laughter, but Shi Min was the only one who was unhappy. He looked thoughtfully at the direction of Xingyang on the plain.
The world is vast, and after the war, it was desolate, with young grass swaying in the spring breeze.
The feeling of desolation also spread to Shi Min.
The laughter and laughter of the Qiang, Di and Jie people around him made him seem out of place.
Zhang Hedu led several Jie people to deliberately show off around Shi Min.
"Go away!" Shi Min's voice was very suppressed, as if the anger and resentment in his heart were breaking free.
Several Jie people rolled away and crawled away.
At this time, a burst of laughter came from Shi Bin, "Oh, Ji Nu is brave and invincible. You can go with me. You will be rich and glorious, and you will be missed!"
This is undoubtedly an invitation, but this situation is somewhat ironic.
But everything was given except military power.
Shi Hu's reward made Shi Min understand a truth. Even if he changes his surname to Shi and is the adopted grandson of Emperor Jie Zhao Shi Hu, a Jin person will always be a Jin person.
"This subordinate came with Sikong and should return with him! Your Highness's kindness will be kept in mind by Min!"
"Ji Nu is loyal and righteous." Shi Bin laughed twice. Although Shi Min was brave, there was no shortage of strong generals in this world, and Shi Bin didn't feel that it was a pity.
Shi Min got on his Zhulong horse, picked up a long spear, and headed west single-handedly...
Xingyang City.
Li Yue's prestige could not be increased, and the beggar army south of the river no longer hesitated and worshiped directly in front of him, "From now on, you can be at the disposal of the general!"
"You guys are serious. After today, we all share the same hatred of the enemy. There is nothing we can do or not do." Li Yue naturally refused to accept anyone who came.
Getting their buy-in is just the first step.
The army of beggars is in disarray, so it can be manipulated at will, but these days are gone forever.
There is no circle without rules. Li Yue is planning to form an alliance. From now on, with Black Cloud Mountain as the core, they will help each other. If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it.
Build up the momentum of the beggar army south of the river.
As Henan's beggar army gains momentum, it will naturally attract Hebei as well.
After the continuous battles, Li Nong lost the hearts of the people. Although he barely regained some prestige by killing Zhang Liang, it was still far inferior to what he had been before.
Chen Duan patted his chest and said: "I, Chen Duan, have lived for more than forty years, and these few days of fighting with the general have been the most enjoyable. I let out a fierce breath."
Bo Wu laughed loudly, "I do have an idea. I'm just going to talk about it. Please listen to it!"
"Commander Bo, please tell me." The crowd was noisy and cheerful.
Even Li Yue became interested.
Bo Wu looks carefree on the surface, but in fact he is very thoughtful and would not directly give up the position of the leader of Heiyun Village to him in the first place.
Now, Li Yue is moving up step by step, and Bo Wu is willing to be inferior and never rely on his old age to show off.
This kind of insight and mind is rare.
The smile on Bo Wu's face suddenly stopped and became extremely serious, "There are three to four hundred thousand people begging for work in the tribes south of the river, but they are bullied at will. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because we are not united, you might as well move your family members to Heiyun Mountain. Firstly, Heiyun Mountain will be stable and there will be no worries for the rear. Secondly, if your family is settled in Heiyun Mountain, everyone will be at ease. "
It was bustling just a moment ago, but in an instant it was completely silent.
The beggars were not appointed by anyone, but were killed from the bottom. They were ruthless and well-informed. They naturally knew that they were handing over hostages.
Li Yue couldn't help but secretly cheer in his heart. Jiang was still old and spicy. There were some things he couldn't say or do.
As for Bo Wu, there was no problem. No matter it was seniority or connections, no one present could match him.
However, even when Bo Wu said it, many people still hesitated.
It's okay to let them follow the Black Cloud Army to eat meat and drink soup to take advantage, but to let them charge into battle with the Black Cloud Army and risk life and death is something they have to think carefully about.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, this is human nature.
The reason is also very simple. They are the kings of the earth and mountains everywhere. They can do whatever they want. Once their families are sent away, they will advance and retreat with Heiyun Mountain in the future.
The beggar army is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
But Li Yue is not in a hurry, someone will always figure it out.
Black Cloud Mountain needs like-minded people, not a ragtag group of people.
"If you don't want to, I, Chen Duan, am willing to send all thirty-two members of my family up the mountain!" After all, Chen Duan took the lead.
Chenliu has always been the base camp of the Beggar Army south of the Yellow River.
"What Commander Bo said is true, I, Liang Guohe Lang, are also willing to send my family members!" A tall leader said loudly.
"Yang'an Jiang Lie is willing to follow the general!"
"Xiangcheng Yang Nuer would like to send all the general's family members to Heiyun Mountain!"
Everyone said something to each other, and twenty-seven large and small begging armies agreed to move their families.
Li Yue discovered an interesting phenomenon. Most of the people who were willing to go up the mountain were beggars near Yuzhou. They happened to be within the range of five or six days of marching from Heiyun Mountain. Any further away would be an expedition.
Yanzhou and Luozhou, which are slightly further away, continue to wait and see.
Sure enough, they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
But Li Yue was not in a hurry, and the melon was not sweet at all.
Black Cloud Mountain will definitely not be limited to a corner of Yuzhou, and will expand sooner or later.
At this time, Hu Yanhei trotted in and said in Li Yue's ear: "General, Shi Min has entered the city."
