The news that Shi Hu was dead was sent to Zhang Xiong immediately.
And Li Yue also inexplicably became the Yanzhou Mu of Jie Zhao. Of course, Zhang Zhen was promoted faster, and directly became the Taibao, recording ministerial affairs, and supervising all Chinese and foreign military affairs...
"My brother has high hopes for the envoy. If he can hold off King Pengcheng, he will become a general in the future!" Zhang Xiong looked sincere.
Hearing the word "envoy" and looking at the jade seal on the edict, Li Yue suddenly felt absurd.
There was no reward for killing Liang Du, but now he is going to rebel with a knife, and the appointment of Yecheng has come...
Seeing that Zhang Jack was treating him well, Li Yue reminded: "Can the others be convinced by holding back King Pengcheng?"
Zhang Jack's source of power is based on Shi Shi and the Liu family, but how far can a young emperor without strength go?
Shi Hu killed Shi Le's whole family and took the throne, which also destined Shi Shi's throne to be short-lived.
Shi Bao, Shi Zun, Shi Jian, Shi Chong, Shi Kun, Shi Zhi, and Shi Bing each have their own soldiers and horses guarding one side. Which one is more fuel-efficient?
Zhang Xiong was silent for a while, and then said: "The prince was appointed by your majesty, and his name is justified. Who in the world dares to disobey?"
But after all, I don’t have much confidence in what I say.
Li Yue only reminded him in passing that it was not easy to be a powerful minister since ancient times, especially in today's situation.
According to the plan, Li Yue ordered Shi Bin and Zhang Hedu to be beheaded, and their heads were sent to Zhang Xiong to calm Zhang Xiong's heart.
The two were hung on bamboo poles, facing the Zhao army's camp. Every day they saw more and more Zhao soldiers gathering, but no one came to save them. They were disheartened. They had been exposed to wind and sun for more than a month, and they were already on the verge of death.
There is no response when the knife is placed on the neck.
This made Li Yue not even interested in torturing them. He directly beheaded them and hung their bodies on the top of the tower to feed the crows.
Before leaving, Li Yue said meaningfully: "The current situation is such that it is best to stay quiet and not move. Your Excellency and the Taibao please take care of yourself."
Zhang Xiong naturally understood, but understanding does not mean that he listened, "The Taibao has his own decision on major matters in the country. Now that you are trapped by King Pengcheng, you should seek more blessings for yourself."
Li Yueqian laughed twice, knowing that what he said was a little inappropriate.
How could Zhang Jack sit on the fire and not move?
Chen Liu seems to be in danger, but in fact he is safe and sound.
Even a blind person can see that Shi Zun's interest is not in Heiyun Mountain, but in gathering military power, and his real goal is Yecheng.
However, we cannot relax our vigilance. The prerequisite for confrontation is that they are evenly matched. Once there is an opportunity, the opponent will definitely deal with itself first.
Just when I thought of this, the scout came to report urgently: "General, the beggars in the city are causing trouble!"
Li Yue was stunned. At this time, the beggar army was causing chaos, and it could be big or small. If someone hooked up with Shi Zun outside the city, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.
"what happened?"
"The beggar army was unwilling to obey General Heiyun's orders, so they clashed. They gathered more than 300 people and beat General Heiyun together."
Judging from the scout's words, it seemed that it was just a small conflict and had not reached the level of "rebellion".
Li Yue quickly led his guards over.
Two groups of people were confronting each other in the city. More than 300 beggar troops and more than 100 black cloud troops were fighting each other with fists and kicks.
A black cloud general yelled and cursed: "This is the general's order, you want to disobey it?"
"I have been eating together and living together for decades. My uncles, sons and nephews are all in the same army. But now we have to separate our flesh and blood. How can this happen in the world?" shouted a gray-haired old soldier.
The two sides were talking, but their hands and feet did not relax.
Heiyun's victory was due to their tacit cooperation. Although there were only a hundred people, they repeatedly knocked their opponents to the ground.
But the opponent was extremely stubborn. He knocked him down, stood up again, and roared again and again, "I won't accept it!"
A large number of black cloud troops came with swords and spears, making people in the city panic, and other begging troops also became nervous.
Li Yue observed it for a while. It didn't look like it was organized or premeditated. It was just a temporary conflict. He waved his hand to let the Black Cloud Army, which was coming with swords and spears, retreat.
The Beggar Army has complex factions and intricate internal connections. Li Yue had already experienced this in Heiyun Mountain.
On the small hills, there are several forces such as Zhao Guang, Bo Wu, Meng Kai, Zhou Qian, Tian Baozi, etc.
During this integration, Li Yue focused on the begging generals, but ignored the begging soldiers.
The beggar army originally had a strong regional and clan character. It was said to be an army, but it was actually an organized group of refugees, with the purpose of begging for work, farming and fighting.
No matter what we do, the whole family comes together.
Forcibly inserting Heiyun General will naturally arouse their dissatisfaction. Heiyun General will always be an outsider, and integrating them now means layoffs and splits. It is understandable that they are not willing to do so.
"That's enough." Li Yue almost knew the source of the conflict between the two parties.
When everyone saw it was Li Yue, they all stopped and retreated to their respective camps.
Even after so much effort, they still haven't completely given up on their sectarian views.
"General..." Heiyun Jiang eagerly wanted to defend.
Li Yue waved his hand, "I hope you won't blame me for not thinking carefully!"
In an instant, most of the resentment of the surrounding beggars disappeared.
The veteran soldier who took the lead said: "General, it's not that we don't obey military orders, but there is a reason for it. Our Leize begging army has lived together for decades, and now we are separated and eliminated. Brothers really can't bear it. .”
"I am waiting for the general's order to come to the rescue. You can't let me wait for my wife and children to be separated, right?" Another person said.
"I see." Li Yue glanced at the other beggars who were watching, most of them had the same look.
The flying bird roosts in the south, and the fox dies on the first hill.
China has valued its hometown and family ties since ancient times. This is also the reason why clans and clans have always been able to rise. One after another, the wildfires are endless and the spring breeze is blowing.
Forcibly separating them will only make people lose their hearts and become a rabble.
Whether it is integration or reform, it must conform to the situation and people's hearts, otherwise it will only intensify conflicts. Li Yue remembered that there was an incident in history that was quite similar to today.
The Houliang of the Five Dynasties forcibly split up Wei Boya's soldiers. The Ya soldiers were unwilling to separate and simply surrendered to Li Cunxu of Hedong. Later, this army invaded Bianliang and became the gravediggers of Houliang...
Although the begging army is not as unruly as the tooth soldiers, they still have a temper.
The surrounding beggars all stared at Li Yue helplessly.
Li Yue said: "Three days. After three days, I will give you a more comprehensive solution."
Integration must be carried out, otherwise the loose beggar army will not be able to be knitted together and will become a huge burden.
"Thank you, General, for watching over us!" All the begging soldiers cheered.
Li Yue's face was serious, "The enemy is here, and you are fighting among yourself. This has violated military law. Everyone will receive twenty lashes!"
Since military law has been established, it must be strictly enforced, otherwise they cannot be restrained.
This matter is also a good opportunity for military law to be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"We are willing to be punished!" No one in the begging army Heiyun Army objected. They all took off their shirts and stood in a row.
The guards came forward with riding whips and started whipping them.
After twenty lashes, no one screamed and begged for mercy. This made Li Yue look at Lei Ze's begging army with admiration, and everyone watching gave thumbs up.
