When Shi Min returned to Zhao Jun's camp, Shi Zun led a group of generals out of the tent to greet him personally, "Ji Nu will definitely succeed if he goes here."
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!" Shi Min raised his hand.
"Huh, in Lao Qiang's opinion, why compromise with the Black Cloud Bandits? You can use the pretense of withdrawing your troops, ambush them halfway, and quell this scourge for the country in one fell swoop!" Yao Yizhong was very dissatisfied with Shi Zun's behavior.
There are currently 60,000 troops gathered in the camp, enough to fight the Black Cloud Army.
However, Shi Zun shook his head and said, "Things have to be prioritized. Zhang Jackal is causing chaos in the imperial court and is a serious threat to his inner circle. If I don't get rid of him, he will definitely plot against me! The Heiyun army is advancing sharply, so we can only slow down the plan and do not compete with him. Once the internal troubles are eliminated, it won’t be too late to take care of them again!”
The Black Cloud Army seems to be powerful, but in fact it only consists of three counties.
Xingyang was still half of the army, Chen Liu had already been slaughtered by Shi Bin, and Jiyin County was forced by the thieves to surrender.
Black Cloud Mountain still has a long way to go, and the population under its control is only about 150,000 at best.
And once Shi Zun took control of Ye City and took control of the situation, with hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of people, it was clear at a glance who was more important.
The core of Jie Zhao's rule was all in Jizhou, not Xingyang and Chenliu.
In fact, Shi Zun had a soft spot for the Black Cloud Army. After all, his biggest competitor, Shi Bin, was killed by Li Yue, which eliminated Shi Zun's worries.
"Your Highness is wise!" All the generals praised him one after another.
Shi Zunyi was very excited. He had been waiting for this day for many years, and today he finally got what he wanted. He waved his hand and said, "Don't wait for tomorrow, raise your troops immediately and capture Yecheng!"
"Follow the order!" The generals held their hands.
Three hours later, drums and horns sounded in the camp, with Yao Yizhong on the right, Pu Hong on the left, and Shi Min in the middle. A mighty 60,000-strong army swept northward like dark clouds.
When Zhao Jun heard that it was not a decisive battle with the Black Cloud Army, they all cheered up, and even their steps became stronger, causing the ground to rumble.
Shi Zun was riding on his horse. He felt the morale around him was like a rainbow. He was very energetic and excited. He laughed endlessly and said to Shi Min beside him: "If you work hard, everything will come true. I will treat you as the prince!"
Shi Min's whole body was shocked and he looked at Shi Zun.
Shi Zun was still in high spirits, "When it is done, I will make you the crown prince!"
Shi Min nodded heavily, but his eyes became as bright as the sunset...
Looking at Zhao Jun leaving, Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It felt uncomfortable to be blocked at the door of his house.
After thinking about it, I decided to send someone north to warn Zhang Jack so that he could take precautions. This would be the most benevolent thing to do.
Yecheng has a high city and a deep pond. During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan's famous general Shen Pei resisted Wei Wu's tens of thousands of troops here for half a year. Half of the people in the city starved to death. Wei Wu tried his best to divert water from Zhangzhou to flood the city, build mountains and dig The secrets, internal and external cooperation with traitors, etc. were all resolved one by one by Shen Pei. In the end, his nephew surrendered and opened the city to lure Cao's army into the city, which led to the capture of Ye City.
Now Yecheng has been reinforced by stone tigers. There are millions of people in the surrounding area, and there are mountains of grain, grass and weapons in the city.
Zhang Jack has been fighting for his whole life and has been a veteran for decades. It will not be a problem for him to survive for a year and a half.
The continuation of the civil strife in Jie and Zhao is in the best interest of Heiyun Mountain, as well as the interests of Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, Shi Min and others.
In the sunset, Li Yue slowly walked into Zhao Jun's camp surrounded by a group of personal guards.
Shi Zun left in such a hurry that pots and pans were thrown all over the ground in the camp, and many tents were not even evacuated in time.
Shi Min said it was 50,000 stone grains. After counting, there were as many as 70,000. There were also various discarded broken spears and broken knives all over the ground.
The Heiyun Army naturally looked down upon these, but the Nan Army was extremely excited, picking up whatever they saw, and their bodies were covered with things.
The Hu people like to eat cattle and sheep, and there are more than 3,000 livestock in the pen that cannot be taken away.
"General, what should we do with the prisoners in the camp?" Hu Yanhei came to report.
"No need to ask, all Jie people will be beheaded!" Yang Lue said beside him.
Zhang Zhuer also nodded in agreement.
On both days, the people in the north were in chaos, and their hatred for the Jie people was as deep as the sea.
Hu Yanhei hesitated for a while, "The captive is not a Jie."
"Not from Jie?" Li Yue became interested and followed Hu Yanhei to check.
There were people behind the fence, including men and women, old and young, but there were not many Jie people with bright eyes and high noses among them, they were all from the Central Plains.
As soon as Li Yue saw their faces, he knew what was going on.
Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, and Yao Yizhong used the pretext of wiping out the remnants of the rebels, but what they did instead was plunder the people of the Central Plains.
The real Jie people either fled back to Hebei or were incorporated by Shi Zun, otherwise Shi Zun's military strength would not have expanded so fast in just one or two months.
Behind the fence, more than 10,000 people were crowded together like livestock, and countless pairs of numb eyes surrendered to Li Yue.
An inexplicable emotion gathered.
The rise of any foreign force in this era is almost always based on the blood and tears of the Chinese people.
"Open the village gate, cook some hot porridge, and send it back to Chen Liu for resettlement." Li Yue sighed in his heart.
"Thank you, General!" When the man at the front heard this, he immediately fell to the ground.
The people behind him didn't care what happened and knelt down together, as if the crops in the field were falling one by one in the strong wind.
Li Yue's anger suddenly rose in his heart, "No kneeling!"
This loud shout shocked Hu Yanhei, Yang Lue, and Zhang Zhuer around them.
The crowd was frightened and overwhelmed.
"When the Huns come, you kneel down. When the Jie people come, you kneel down too. Can't you stand up and point your sword at them?" Li Yue said loudly.
But no matter how loud the sound is, not many people will hear it.
But after shouting, I felt helpless. The world has fallen like this. Can you blame them?
In this era, there was no national or ethnic justice at all, and the Sima family was not necessarily any better to them than foreigners.
Resistance has never stopped since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Cao Wei's Guangling Xuezhou Uprising (early Jian'an), Lujiang Chen Ce Uprising (early Jian'an), Changguangmin Uprising (fifth year of Jian'an), Guanzhong Liu Xiong's Uprising (seventeenth year of Jian'an), Tuntian Kelu Bin Uprising (twenty of Jian'an) year), Nanyang Min Houyin uprising (the 23rd year of Jian'an); Lu Hun and Sun Lang uprising in response to Guan Yu's Northern Expedition (the 24th year of Jian'an)...
When it came to Sima Jin, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was the Qin Liang Revolution and the Guanzhong Rebellion. Later, Wang Ru of Yongzhou, Liu Bogen, Wang Mi of Qingzhou, Du Tao of Shuzhong, etc. resisted time and time again and were suppressed time and time again.
After Shi Hu usurped the throne, resistance in various places never stopped, but they were also massacred time and time again.
This era is not ischemic, it is just that the monarchs and ministers of the Sima family dragged Hua Xia to be buried together for their desire for power.
"Everyone get up, everyone get up!" Li Yue shouted loudly.
The guards rushed into the crowd, shouting and pulling people away.
The crowd stood up, their eyes still numb and empty. It wasn't until they had eaten a bowl of porridge that their eyes became filled with life.
After venting his emotions for a while, he regained his composure. The morale of the people and ethnic groups had been trampled to the bottom in one big chaos after another. Restoring morale did not happen overnight.
No matter how much empty talk you say, it won't work for a bowl of porridge. It's never too late.
Li Yue asked the Black Cloud Army to send them into Chenliucheng.
