The Zheng family strongly supported this expansion of the army and sent more than 300 war horses and various baggage.
Along with these supplies, there were more than a dozen "talented" young people from the Zheng family, including Zheng Hui.
Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.
The Zheng family's support for the Black Cloud Army is certainly not for charity.
In fact, it is a kind of cooperation and transaction.
The children of the aristocratic family, although lacking in blood and bravery, still have many merits. They are capable of literary and military skills and are quite knowledgeable.
Even Jie Zhao had to use scholars to manage states and counties.
Li Yue did not refuse, and "interviewed" them one by one. Those who were able to be literate would follow Zhou Qian to manage internal affairs, and those who were capable of military affairs would be sent down to the ranks to serve as corps commanders or chiefs.
This move made Zheng Hui quite criticized, "These are all talented people from the Zheng family who have outstanding talents in astronomy, geography, military arts and martial arts, but they are not good at it. They can only serve as commander or chief, which is too unqualified..."
"Come on, come on, your talents from the Zheng family will compete with a certain Heiyun general." Li Yue waved his hand, and a dozen Heiyun generals from outside the hall came in in response.
They all looked fierce, and their eyes seemed to be examining prey.
Those who can serve as Black Cloud General have basically participated in all the battles in the rise of Black Cloud Mountain. The people who come out of the battlefield have different auras.
Li Yue believed that the "talents" of the Zheng family were extraordinary in martial arts. If it was just a competition, they might be between equals, but if it was a fight, these talents would have no chance.
Zheng Hui glanced at General Heiyun, her face moved, and she laughed dryly, "The corps commander and the chief commander are not bad..."
Li Yue likes the "flexible and flexible" character of the Zheng family the most. Zheng Du is like this, and Zheng Hui is the same. He is unambiguous when he should be soft, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, the Black Cloud Army has clear rewards and punishments. If you are really capable, you will never hide it!" "
This is definitely not a boast. There are only three senior generals of the Black Cloud Army: Wei Shan, Xu Cheng, and Liang Xiao.
Cao Kan had not experienced a war, but because the armed private salt business was booming, he used to steal secretly, but now he robs openly. As soon as the Black Cloud Army flag was raised, all the people in the north took the initiative to give way.
So he was promoted to captain.
However, only two days later, the sixteen "talents" from the Zheng family could not bear the hardships of the Black Cloud Army, and thirteen of them ran back. Including Zheng Hui, only three single seedlings were left...
The Black Cloud Army is extremely tough. After intense training, they have to go hunting in the mountains and fight with tigers and wolves.
Injuries are commonplace, and death by the claws of tigers and wolves, or falling off a cliff is also common.
The wild beasts in this era are very cunning and evil. They do not eat livestock but are only interested in people. They often attack villages in groups.
Shihu has a hunting ground in Xingyang, where all kinds of wild beasts overrun and cause harm to the local area.
Naturally, the sons of the Zheng family couldn't stand this kind of life with their heads tucked into their crotch all day long.
Zheng Hui didn't have the shame to look for Li Yue again, and Li Yue's ears were much clearer.
The field envoys sent to various places in Yuzhou have achieved good results. Those who can be selected as field envoys are naturally capable people. Many abandoned farmland can be cultivated after being rested.
But they are not only good at plowing the fields, they also help them recruit thieves and refugees nearby and build forts.
The field envoys soon gained the trust of the begging troops from all over the country.
Farming is only the first step; the second step is to send storytellers to various places.
Naturally, no one will object to this step. To be honest, many beggars are fierce men who lick blood with their swords. The more illiterate they are, the more they like to listen to stories.
Qihuo made himself fascinated.
And their transformation is subtle.
Rumor has it that it is Li Yue's private goods.
Every day that passes, Li Yue can feel the growth of Black Cloud Mountain's strength, not just in terms of military strength.
Several forces in Yuzhou have also become more honest than ever before. Liu Guo of Yangcheng also sent more than a hundred war horses as a sign of friendship.
Zhang Yu, an old enemy, moved the people of Mi County southward and built a second line of defense in Dahuai Mountain in the south. He closed the gate tightly and focused on fighting east and west with Jiangdong.
Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming.
The area around Heiyun Mountain became peaceful as never before.
Li Yue led the cavalry to patrol various places. The fields were already covered with greenery, and villages in the Sishui and Jishui river basins sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Black cloud flags are hung on cities and forts everywhere.
The scarred land of the Central Plains has finally regained its vitality.
At the same time, Li Yue's two Madams Xin were getting better, which made Xin Can so happy that he walked up and down the mountain with his nostrils raised.
Even the veteran generals of the Black Cloud Army were polite to him.
As soon as the news of the pregnancy spread, there was an endless stream of congratulators.
Everyone in Heiyun Mountain seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and even Li Yue expected such a huge impact.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel relieved.
Heiyun Mountain has become a foundation. Without flesh and blood inheritance, it will naturally be targeted by others and either split or annexed by other forces. Li Yue's flesh and blood can allow the order to be passed down stably.
After spring plowing, Heiyun Mountain is rarely at leisure.
Civil affairs are handled by Zhou, military affairs are overseen by soldiers, as well as officers and scouts. A set of order has been formed on the mountain, and everything is done step by step. Li Yue doesn't have to worry about much, so he might as well spend more time with his family.
After only two or three days of comfortable life, things happened again.
Bo Wu came to the door accompanied by Chen Duan, who was wearing sackcloth and filial piety. When he saw Li Yue, Chen Duan burst into tears, "The general makes the decision for his subordinates!"
Li Yue quickly helped him up, "What happened?"
When these two came to our door, it was no small matter.
Chen Duan gritted his teeth and said: "After Shi Bin's dog bandits retreated to Chenliu, they burned, killed, raped and looted. They committed all kinds of evil. When the first batch of family members of Chenliu's begging army were sent to Heiyun Mountain, they were discovered by the Jie people. There were 3,700 men, women, and children. Yukou suffered a tragedy, and his parents were among them! There are twenty-one children in the whole family, and only the eldest son who is with me is left!"
Li Yue's face darkened.
How could Li Yue not know the virtues of Jie people?
Men and women can avoid being humiliated if they commit suicide earlier...
Bo Wudao: "After Shi Bin was not allowed to enter Xingyang, he retreated to Chenliu and massacred the city for more than ten days. All the people in the county suffered misfortune. The corpses were piled up like a mountain. It was too horrible to see..."
Capricorns are cruel by nature. Even if they are not good on the battlefield, they are very good at causing harm to the people.
After all, this pot belongs to you.
Shi Bin's Jie army came to Xingyang, but after being scared away by him, they retreated to Chenliu.
Moreover, Chen Duan also believed in himself and sent his family to Heiyun Mountain, but they were discovered by Jie people on the way.
Furthermore, he had just gained the hearts and minds of the beggar army south of the Yellow River. If something like this happened, if he didn't stand up, wouldn't it make other people feel cold?
I scared off Shi Bin in Xushui, and the relationship between the two sides has been severed.
Shi Bin didn't dare to touch him now, but when he returned to Yecheng and had great power, how could he not touch him?
Even if he is harassed by the surrounding bastards, it is enough for him to drink a pot.
Li Yue slapped the table with his palm, causing the wooden case to fall into pieces, and he was filled with anger, "Shi Bin hurt your parents, he is hurting someone's parents. As sons of men, this hatred is irreconcilable!"
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, blood revenge has been popular.
There is a saying in Confucianism: The hatred of a father cannot be shared, the hatred of a brother cannot be fought against, and the hatred of a friend cannot be from a different country.
In order to take revenge, Wu Zixu braved the disapproval of the world and whipped the body of King Ping of Chu. He was called a fierce husband by Sima Qian.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a story about seven women taking revenge on Chang'an. Seven women armed with hooks, short halberds, ring-head knives, bows and arrows assassinated the order of Chang'an in the street. They were also made into murals and preserved to later generations.
This is actually a kind of national blood.
