After Shi Min left, the army outside the city was ready to move.
Countless civilians were driven forward and dug into the ground to surround Chenliu City. Rows of antlers were pressed against the moat. The west and north sides were surrounded by water.
Shi Zun put on a posture of surrounding Chen Liu.
He also ordered Yao Yizhong's Qiang cavalry to show off their power under the city, Pu Hong's Di soldiers shouted with their shields, and the Jie army pushed ladders, rams, and catapults in a row to the north.
The drums roared, the flags were like clouds, and the shouts shook the heaven and the earth.
But even if the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light, there are all the things that should be done to attack the city, and there are also things that should not be done, but there is no siege.
Zhang Hedu shouted crazily from the bamboo pole at the top of the city, "Come on, attack the city quickly and cut these thieves into pieces!"
But Shi Bin was still tirelessly trying to persuade him to surrender, "Master Li's troops are like a god. Now that the father is seriously ill, the prince is young, and Zhang Jie and Liu Hou are in power. You and I will raise our troops together and attack Yedu in the name of Qingjun. It will be a big deal." Ji Ye, when the time comes, it won’t be a problem to split the soil and seal the borders!”
The Black Cloud Army members were originally a little nervous due to the momentum below, but upon hearing this, they all burst into laughter.
A dozen bare-chested strong men were shouting and cursing at the top of the city with big axes, taking care of them all, including the ancestors of Shi Hu and Shi Le.
Zhao Jun started making trouble, and the Heiyun Army in the southwest corner also started moving.
It seems that Cui Jin and Zhou Qian have brought out all the young people on the mountain. At first glance, there are at least 20,000 people.
The bright red flag is like blood, fluttering in the wind.
Under the flag, spears are like reeds, layer after layer, and the black armor is like a dark cloud covering the earth.
More than a thousand war horses clad in leather armor were leaping like dragons and tigers, eager to move towards the Jieren camp to the north.
More than two thousand soldiers carrying heavy weapons such as maces and bones came out of the camp and formed an array.
A warrior with a strong sword and an iron horse, capable of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
The morale of Heiyun Mountain has long been knocked out by Li Yue.
If the young and strong are included, the forces on both sides are evenly matched.
With the current situation, if Jie Zhao wants to destroy Heiyun Mountain, he must use the power of the whole country.
However, Shi Zun's troops outside the city continued to increase, and Zhao troops from all over Hebei Province arrived one after another.
On the second day, Shi Min did not come, but the envoy from Yecheng entered the city from the east.
"My Excellency, Zhang Xiong, came here to pay a visit to the leader of the village on the orders of my brother, the General of Guards!"
The general of the Zhenwei was Zhang Jack. Unexpectedly, he also got involved.
"I wonder what General Zhang is looking for?" Li Yue still maintained his politeness on the surface, holding Shi Bin in his hand, which looked like a rare commodity.
Zhang Xiong said mysteriously: "The chief of Li Village's beheading Liang Du was the first contribution to quelling the rebellion. It's a pity that the traitors in the court were in power and ignored the general's great achievements. My brother knew the village master's loyalty well and was working for the village master in the court. , the leader of the village must not be bewitched by King Pengcheng."
Li Yue looked at Shi Bin hanging on the bamboo pole, but he couldn't associate the word "loyalty" with himself.
What this person says is quite interesting. The traitorous minister in the court is in power. Isn't he your brother's Zhang Jackal?
The meaning behind Zhang Xiong's words was very clear, hold on and never surrender to Shi Zun.
Li Yue slapped his thigh, pointed to the north in the direction of Yecheng and said, "The one who knows my heart is General Zhang!"
Xu Cheng, Liang Xiao, and Zhang Shengye all around had strange smiles on their faces, but they all held back.
Zhang Xiong was overjoyed, "Please step aside, my brother has something to say to the leader of the village!"
"It doesn't matter, these are my right-hand men, and they are as loyal as I am!"
Zhang Xiong looked left and right, then he had to cup his hands and said: "My brother has said that Shi Bin and Shi Zun are both unfaithful, unfilial, arrogant and domineering people. Their disobedience is obvious. If the leader of the village can eliminate harm to the country, , the imperial court does not hesitate to reward you with the title of Marquis!"
Xu Cheng and Liang Xiao both took a deep breath.
He was not surprised by the title of Marquis. Shi Bin had offered a more generous price, but the title of Marquis was nothing. Jie Zhao had already been overrun with marquises.
The reason why he was surprised was because of Zhang Jack's ambition and ruthlessness. He actually wanted to use the help of Heiyun Mountain to get rid of two princes in a row, and it was the clan that held the real power in Jie and Zhao.
As if sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Zhang Xiong raised his eyebrows.
Li Yue shook his head. Zhang Jack was treating himself as a spearman. There were generals such as Shi Min, Yao Yizhong, and Pu Hong gathered under the city. Their combat power should not be underestimated.
Although the Black Cloud Army is strong, Li Yue knows who can and cannot fight.
Even if the Black Cloud Army kills Shi Zun, I'm afraid Zhang Jack will turn against him and refuse to recognize him.
Li Yue was too embarrassed to point out Zhang Jack's little thoughts, "I fought in Heiyun Mountain and fought bloody battles to kill Liang Du. The imperial court did not give me a big reward. Now General Zhang is talking empty talk. How can I believe it?"
When he heard that he was an important official, Zhang Xiong was overjoyed, "My brother has already told me before leaving, so the leader of the village can speak up."
Li Yue's heart moved. Zhang Jacky was so unscrupulous and impatient. This can only mean one thing. Even if Shi Hu is not dead, he should be almost dead. "Then let's go to Yanzhou Mu first."
After pacifying the rebellion in Liangdu, Yao Yizhong won the envoy Chijie, Shizhong, and the general who conquered the west.
Pu Hong was a general of chariots and cavalry, Kaifu Yitong of the Three Divisions, commander of all military affairs in Yong and Qinzhou, governor of Yongzhou, promoted to Duke of Lueyang.
And Li Yue only needs one Yanzhou Mu, which is not excessive at all.
There is a word difference between Yanzhou Mu and Yanzhou Governor, but the meanings are completely different.
The governor has to report to the court for important and minor matters, but the pastor does not need to do so. The appointment and dismissal of official positions within the territory, local taxation, and military and political affairs can all be handled by himself.
However, Zhang Xiong looked embarrassed, "This matter..."
Xu Cheng on the side said: "Humph, the general wants He Yanzhou to be the herdsman. This Yanzhou has long belonged to our Heiyun Army. In the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to follow the King of Yan and kill Yedu. Then I will be rewarded with the title of king!"
Zhang Xiong seemed to be a martial artist, but he was not stupid, nor was he frightened by Xu Cheng. His eyes swayed, "I am not the one who can make the decision on this matter. I must report it to my brother."
Li Yue was disappointed for a while, this was just delaying and perfunctory.
But thinking about it carefully, no matter how much Zhang Jack tried to gain power, he still didn't have the guts to hand over Yanzhou to Heiyun Mountain.
Once you do this, you will be criticized.
Several of Shi Hu's sons led troops to guard one side.
"Since you can't make the decision, why waste your time?" Xu Cheng's face was stern.
Zhang Xiong glanced at him sideways, "Don't you want to know what the situation in Yecheng is like now, Lord?"
Li Yue was shocked. Yanzhou Mu was granted the title of Marquis, but it was not important.
In this world, strength is respected. Given the current situation, if Li Yue really wants Yanzhou, isn't it easy to capture him?
The title of Marquis is even more of a joke.
The situation in Yecheng is related to how long the confrontation will last.
"Could it be that Lord Zhao has passed away?" Li Yue asked tentatively.
Zhang Xiong's face was full of sincerity, "My brother has shown sincerity, and the leader of the village must also be sincere!"
It was obvious that he wanted Shi Bin's head, and even more so, Hei Yunshan's attitude.
Shi Bin was the Prime Minister, the Minister of Records, the Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs at home and abroad, and a prince. In the territory of Jie Zhao, the biggest threat to Zhang Jack was Shi Bin. If he did not die, Zhang Jack would not be able to feel at ease.
Li Yue glanced at Shi Bin on the bamboo pole, and his value was getting greater and greater.
