Cui Jin returned to Lu County first. In the current situation, Cui Jin led the Zhenshan Camp to station in the east, Li Yue took charge in the west, and Liu Qi remained in his official position and ran the east county.
Xu Cheng guarded Jibei and Weishan guarded Puyang to guard against the sudden southward movement of the Hebei army.
The entire Yanzhou is basically under the military control of the Black Cloud Army.
After staying in Yuncheng for several days, Li Yue returned to Chenliu, and the appointment from the Jie Zhao court happened to be delivered.
Shi Min kept his word, Li Yue commanded the military affairs of Henan and Yan, and named Yang Wuhou. It would be good if there were only these two, but there was also a Ping Jin general...
The two states of Henan and Yan were originally the hinterland of the Central Plains, sandwiched between the north and the south. Li Yue had always been careful to take advantage of both sides.
Now Jie Zhao has given himself the title of General Ping Jin, and his intentions are self-evident.
With this name in mind, the future Jiangbei Expedition will be directed at me no matter what...
Li Yue felt sick.
But even without General Ping Jin, the Jiangbei Expedition would still be directed at him.
In the eyes of the Jiangdong gentry, the refugee commanders and the beggar army were a greater threat to them than Jiehu.
Something is better than nothing, and now is not the time to be picky.
As long as the commander-in-chief Yu Yanzhu has the military, it means that nominally, Liu Guo of Yangcheng and Zhang Yu of Xuchang are at his disposal.
With their righteousness and reputation weighing on them, it will be easier to clean up in the future.
This is something that will happen in the future. Right now, we are trying every possible means to accumulate strength.
Li Yue continued to send field envoys, Honglu officials, and Heiyun generals to various counties.
The field envoys encouraged the people to farm and weave, and the Honglu officials did some ideological propaganda. General Heiyun took the retired disabled soldiers to organize the young and strong in each county, either fishing or hunting.
Yanzhou is rich in lakes and rivers, with mountains and rivers as its backer.
The population in the Central Plains is sparse, and the fish in the lakes and wild beasts in the wilderness are overrun. Fishing and hunting can also exercise the people's military skills.
From Xingyang to Chenliu, there were large hunting grounds left by Shihu. Li Yue opened them all to the people, and the broken swords, spears and armor from the army were also distributed to the people free of charge.
If you hunt prey, you only need to hand over the skin.
The fish is dried and stored for the winter.
It is definitely too late to plant wheat and millet in the idle fields, so we must plant bean sprouts instead.
During the ten months, groups of hunters and fishermen are everywhere from Baiyun Mountain in the west to Mount Tai in the east.
However, some people who took the opportunity to flee south were captured by the scout camp and beheaded in public. Their heads were hung on the city walls and their families were demoted as slaves.
Li Yue really couldn't understand the brain circuits of these people. Chu Pei had already retreated, and there were still the corpses of 60,000 refugees. They still wanted to go south. They were simply possessed by the Sima family.
Only a handful of people escaped, but the vast majority gradually adapted...
At this time, the winner was also decided in Guanzhong.
Sima Xun, the general of Jin Zhenglu, supervising the military affairs in Guanzhong and the captain of Xirong, sent Liu Huan to attack Chang'an. He killed Liu Xiuli, the prefect of Zhao Jingzhao, and conquered Hecheng. His prestige was great. Guanzhong heroes killed the county guards and county magistrates in response.
Sima Xun had more than 30 forts and 50,000 soldiers.
Shi Bao gave up the attack on Yecheng and ordered Ma Qiu and Yao Guo to lead their troops to attack it. At this time, the Jie Zhao court sent Wang Lang, the only one who still obeyed the order, to lead 20,000 elite cavalry to help fight against it.
Sima Xun, like Chu Pe, turned around and left when he saw Jie Zhao's army coming to kill him, abandoning Guanzhong and joining Jiangdong's heroes and common people.
Wang Lang was born in the Wang family of Wuhuan. Like Li Nong and Yao Yizhong, he was Shi Hu's most loyal confidant. He once urged the prince Shi Xuan not to carry out large-scale construction, which aroused Shi Xuan's resentment. Shi Hu and Shi Xuan were slandered several times, and Wang Lang was cut in half to prevent disaster.
Shi Hu didn't agree, so he cut Wang Bo and his four sons in half and threw their bodies into Zhangshui.
After Wang Lang scared off Sima Xun, he turned around and kidnapped Shi Bao and sent him to Yecheng.
Jie Zhao's first round of rebellion came to an end.
But the undercurrent is still raging.
Although Shi Chong and Shi Bao were destroyed, Shi Zhi of Xiang State and Yao Yizhong of Jitou had increasingly close contacts.
Shi Min's rise was not welcomed by the "Chinese people"...
Fangtou, Pu Hongzheng was furious. He, who had always been patient and calm, had not been so angry for a long time.
After the Battle of Xingyang, Pu Hong was promoted to the general of chariots and cavalry, opened the Yitong Three Divisions, was the commander-in-chief of all the military affairs of Yong and Qin, was the governor of Yongzhou, and was granted the title of Duke of Lueyang.
Seeing that Guanzhong was about to be put into his mouth, Jie Zhao Chaotang changed his mind again.
He was relieved of his duties as commander of the military affairs of Yong and Qin and governor of Yongzhou.
Shi Min destroyed Shi Chong in one battle and shocked the world. Pu Hong's thoughts on competing in the Central Plains have long faded. His only thought is to return to Guanzhong, manage the business carefully, and watch the changes in Shandong.
But now Jie Zhao doesn't give him a chance at all.
"This must be planned by Shi Min!" Lei Ruo'er said angrily.
When Shi Hu was alive, Shi Min advised him twice to get rid of Pu Hong early. At that time, Jicheng was defeated and hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops were lost. Shi Hu did not dare to touch Pu Hong, so he used various despicable means to assassinate Pu Hong. nephew.
Lu Polou said: "Shi Min destroyed Shi Chong's 100,000-strong army in one battle. Li Nong defeated the Jin army and regained Huainan. The two men were at the height of their power. Shi Min cannot defeat Li Yue in Yanzhou, so he must have some plot against me."
The corners of Pu Hong's eyes twitched. His anger was not just in front of him, but in the past ten years, he had watched his son and nephews being killed by stone tigers without daring to move.
Shi Hu died, but Shi Zun and Shi Min still refused to let him go.
"The situation in Hebei is chaotic, and the people in Fangtou are weak. It is not a place for destiny. The Lord should have made other plans early. If we don't leave the country of Tianfu in Guanzhong now, others may get it!" Liang Leng said, cupping his hands.
There were many wealthy families in Anding, led by the Liang family and the Deng family, who all gathered under the banner of Pu Hong.
Everyone looked at Pu Hong with big and small eyes.
Shi Min's 100,000-strong army returned to Yecheng. It was obvious who the next target would be.
Moreover, the military deployment facing Fangtou has been launched. Shi Min's general Zhou Cheng led 20,000 infantry into Liyang, and Dong Run led 10,000 begging troops into Yuanfu City to control the upper reaches of Qixian County, which was only fifty miles apart.
These two places are one in the north of Fangtou and the other in the east of Fangtou. They basically press Fangtou firmly under the crotch.
Yanzhou can compete with Shi Min because of its vast depth, while Fangtou is only one county. How many days can it defend against Shi Min's Mount Tai?
But entering Guanzhong is not that easy.
Shi Bao was escorted back to Yecheng, but Wang Lang, Ma Qiu, Wang Zhuo, Liu Ning and other generals each guarded their own territory. Jie Zhao's 60,000 to 70,000 elite troops were still there.
Defeating them is not easy.
Pu Hong said in a deep voice: "I wanted to take advantage of Shi's rebellion to occupy Guanzhong and fight for Hebei. I didn't expect Shi Min's son to stop me. If I don't fight now, I will definitely fall into his trap! Send an order and all the armies secretly prepare to march westward and return to their homeland. !”
The battle between Shi Min and Pingji shattered the ambitions of too many people.
Lei Ruo'er said: "If the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly. It is better to join the Jin Dynasty, take its righteous name, and then go west. I will definitely get the support of the Jin people in Guanzhong and get twice the result with half the effort."
From Fangtou to Jiankang, it is thousands of miles away and the journey is long. Every time we go back and forth, we have to hurry up and it will take at least a month. If we delay for a few more days in Jiangdong, two months will pass.
Pu Hong hesitated for a moment.
Lei Ruo'er said: "The former Shi Bao raised troops, Sima Xun went north, and people gathered in Guanzhong to respond. It can be seen that people's hearts are in Jin. Although the Jin Dynasty is declining, it is still the best in the world. If the Lord wants to achieve his goal, he must get the title of Jin Dynasty. I wish you Let’s set off south.”
"Yes!" Pu Hong nodded.
