In December of the first year of Taining (349), just one month after Shi Jian ascended the throne, another bloody storm broke out in Yecheng. King Shibao of Leping, Zhongshu Ling Li Song, and General Zhang Cai led troops to attack Kunhua Palace at night. , was killed and retreated by Shi Min.
Shi Jian was so frightened that he killed Shi Bao, Li Song, Zhang Cai and others to appease Shi Min.
At the same time, Shi Zhi, who was guarding Xiangguo, spread the message to all directions, calling on the troops of King Qin from all over the world to kill Shi Min and Li Nong. All the barbarians in the north gathered to respond.
The Hebei War began, but the first battle did not break out between Shi Min and Shi Zhi.
Tongshanpi northeast of Fangtou.
Countless Qiang people hated this. Corpses piled up like mountains, human corpses and horse corpses piled up together, broken spears and broken knives pointed toward the sky, and even the sky became gloomy.
The howling cold wind swept across the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, and the blood slowly flowed into the white ditch along the canal water.
The injured but not dead were wailing in a pool of blood.
But no one looked at them, and they only attracted the wolves in the wilderness. If the Di army hadn't completely retreated, they would have pounced on them.
Fu Hong stepped into the blood and corpses step by step, followed by Fu Jian, Fu Xiong, chief bookkeeper Cheng Pu, Lei Ruo'er and others.
This was an extremely brilliant victory, and everyone from north to south looked at it.
Yao Xiang's 50,000-strong army came to attack, but Fu Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, defeated him in one fell swoop and captured more than 30,000 men.
Yao Yizhong was directly defeated and his vitality was severely damaged. He no longer had the strength to compete with the Fu family in Guanzhong.
Zhao Jun, who was still eyeing them with eager eyes, is now all huddled in the city.
"Old Qiang is overestimating his abilities. How many people in the world can compete with my family?" Fu Hong looked up to the sky and smiled, letting out a breath of anger.
Fu Jian said: "Yesterday the imperial court sent an envoy to reinstate your lord as the governor of Guanzhong."
"What do you think?" Fu Hong was quite moved.
The canonization of Yecheng was equivalent to directly assigning the two states of Yong and Qin to him.
But it has been repeated so many times that it is difficult to convince them.
Lei Ruo'er said: "The imperial court has no faith and is capricious. You should not be credulous. Now that my lord has conquered the world in one battle, why does the Shi family need to reward him? You can attack him yourself!"
However, Fu Hong's face was expressionless, with anger faintly boiling in his eyes.
He was waiting, but no one persuaded him to come in.
Cheng Pu, the chief bookkeeper, said: "It is better to respect Zhao as the master, just as the countries divide their borders and govern Guanzhong, Xu plans for the future."
Fu Hong glanced at the crowd and suddenly became furious, "I can't bear to be the emperor's evildoer, and the rest of the world! Drag him down and kill him!"
Everyone around was stunned.
In the past, Fu Hong was forbearing, tolerant, and generous, but now he seemed to be a different person.
Even his biological sons Fu Jian and Fu Xiong were surprised.
It was as if this battle pushed Fu Hong's ambition to its peak, and the depression that had been accumulated in his heart for more than ten years burst out.
For a moment, everyone forgot to plead for mercy, and Cheng Pu's head quickly fell to the ground and rolled down from the pile of corpses.
Fu Hong's halberd pointed to the west, "I alone led a hundred thousand soldiers, and I lived in a beautiful place in the pass. Shi Min and Murong Jun could point to the sun and died. Yao Xiang and his son defeated them in my number. I conquered the world alone, which was easy for the ancestors of Han Dynasty." "
At this moment, his ambition could no longer be restrained and expanded to the limit, directly comparing himself to the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
Fu Xiong glanced at his old father worriedly. Power and ambition can easily distort people's minds...
The light snow in Fangtou was blown across the Yellow River by the north wind and reached Chenliu.
The old year has gone and the new year has arrived.
The news from all over Hebei is pouring in, which is simply dizzying.
Compared with the chaotic Hebei, Yanzhou seems extremely peaceful.
This year it was rare that there was no suffering from hunger or cold.
The soldiers wore newly issued robes, mostly made of wild animal furs. Although rough, they were extremely warm and did not affect their training and hunting in the wind and snow.
The common people also had two pieces of straw clothes, stayed at home, and lit coal cakes.
If there are elders over sixty or children under thirteen years old in the family, they can also go to the government to receive five pounds of meat.
Li Yue braved the wind and snow to inspect the villages near Chenliu to check their winter reserves. If they were insufficient, he could go to Chenliu to sleep in the winter. Zhou Qian built a large number of private houses, including Datongpu, with fireplaces and pavements in the houses for warmth. Porridge is served twice a day.
This is just a light snowfall, and colder weather is yet to come.
After the establishment of school affairs, I don’t know whether the officials under Yanzhou were frugal or not, but they were much more diligent than before.
"Captain, Mr. Chang is back." Zhang Shengye came to report.
"Go back to the city!" Li Yue got on his horse and turned its head.
Chang Wei stayed in Jiangling for more than a month and must have figured out Huan Wen's thoughts.
Back at the mansion, Chang Wei had been waiting for a long time, "Huan Wen is not afraid of you!"
"Oh?" This opening statement was beyond Li Yue's expectations.
"My subordinates have been observing in Jiangling for many days. Many scholars from Jingxiang and Xiangxiang are interested in Guanzhong. Huanwen's heart is not in the northern country, but in Jiangdong. Even his northern expedition is not to regain his homeland, but to accumulate prestige! Not only is Huanwen not afraid, but Yin Hao, Xie Shang and others are like this. Yin Hao's Northern Expedition was also to fight against Huan Wen, not for the sake of the country." Chang Wei sighed.
Many things often go astray if the starting point is wrong.
The internal fighting between Huan Wen and Wang Xun Yin lasted for more than a day or two.
The last time Huan Wen attacked Shu, he sent several letters to Jiangdong, but the powerful king Xie Xun Yin ignored them, so Huan Wen took it upon himself to attack Cheng Han.
This time the Northern Kingdom was in chaos, Huan Wen also came to the table several times, but Jiankang still turned a deaf ear.
Jiangdong is still the Jiangdong in history.
"According to the opinions of my subordinates, Jingxiang and Jiangdong are constraining each other. The governor can turn off the fire across the bank, advance to occupy the entire Central Plains, annex the states of Zhang Yu and Liu, and retreat to Yanzhou to wait for changes in Jiangdong." Chang Wei There was a twinkle in his eye.
It was not only Li Yue who was caught between the north and the south, but also these two people. They were the first to be affected.
Zhang Yu and Jiang Dong were flirting with each other. They wanted to use Jiang Dong's power to strengthen themselves, not to be annexed by Jiang Dong. How many of the refugee commanders who had fled to Jiang Dong for decades had a good death?
And Liu Guo had more than ten thousand Huns cavalry, and Li Yue had already been salivating.
The fastest way to make a fortune these days is to plunder.
No matter how big the land is, it is actually useless. These days, there are uninhabited wastelands everywhere. The key is population.
"It seems that Yanzhou is a beautiful place. It looks to the north of Youji, and to the east is Qingxu. It is located between Xu, Luo and Ye." The fire in Li Yue's heart suddenly started to flash.
This is the advantage of the Central Plains. There are crises everywhere, but opportunities everywhere. Once a firm foothold is established, it rises very quickly.
Beibian has just "reunited" with Shi Min, and there is no threat for the time being.
As for the south, Yin Hao is not a big problem, as long as Huan Wen doesn't come.
Chang Wei gained a lot from this trip south and found out the thoughts of Jingxiang and Jiangdong.
"The most urgent task at the moment is to shake hands with Shi Min and make peace. Shi Min killed Shi Zun, and his heart is clear. At the moment, he no longer cares about our Black Cloud Mountain, and the begging army is in the south and north, relying on each other."
"Sir, you don't know. Yecheng sent people to make peace last month!"
"This is God helping me in Black Cloud Mountain."
