The powerful legitimate sons and elites of Yanzhou were sent to Chenliu one after another, but this time they did not dare to play tricks again.
Ren City was breached within two hours, which shocked them deeply. No matter how strong the Wubao was built, could it be compared with the city?
The soldiers sent were strong and well-equipped. Nearly one-third were wearing iron armor, and one-fifth were riding war horses. The swords in their hands were sharper than those made by Shanyang Iron Factory.
As the Yanzhou Army became more elite, it basically caught up with the level of the Southern Army, but its equipment was even worse.
At this point, Li Yue's troops reached 70,000, including 30,000 Heiyun Army, 17,000 Yanzhou Army, and 24,000 Nan Army.
Control over Yanzhou is also constantly strengthening.
The capture of Rencheng shocked not only the powerful but also the governors and county magistrates from various places, who were much more obedient than before.
At this time, news from Hebei came one by one, which was dizzying.
After defeating Shi Kun's 70,000-strong army in Yebei, Shi Min changed the name of Jie Zhao to "Wei".
Within a month, he turned around and killed Shi Jian, officially establishing the country as emperor and establishing the "Great Wei".
Ran Wei stepped onto the stage of history and stood tenaciously in the vast sea of barbarians.
"As long as the governor sends troops to Yecheng, your majesty will make the governor the governor of Jizhou, the Duke of Zhangwu, and the commander of the military forces of Ji, Yan, and the three states!" What Li Yue didn't expect was that the envoy from Jiangdong arrived first.
This appointment is quite interesting.
Li Yue's foundation was in the two states of Yan and Henan, and the edict did not mention a word about it. Instead, he granted himself the illusory three states of Ji, Yan, and Bing...
His intentions are sinister.
That is to say, he rushed forward to fight to the death with Ran Min, Shi Zhi, and the Murong family, and Jiang Dong conveniently came to Yanzhou to pick peaches...
"The Commander-in-Chief must think carefully. If you miss this opportunity to submit to the imperial court, you will have to face hundreds of thousands of Northern Expedition troops next time. The Commander-in-Chief must not make a mistake!"
Li Yue sighed, originally this matter could be discussed.
But for some reason, Jiangdong always has this arrogant character. Maybe people don't take a fancy to him at all.
"Get lost." Li Yue waved his hand.
"What?" The messenger didn't seem to hear clearly.
"Kick him out!" Li Yue said to the bodyguard.
This time everyone heard everything clearly, and the guards directly beat him out with fists and kicks.
"Jiangdong puts the gentry first, and the governor has no background, so it is difficult for them to get into their eyes." Chang Wei said with a smile.
He still had some background. Li Ju also served as the governor of Sizhou back then, but he was dismissed by the Sima family in a blink of an eye. Zu Ti was also dismissed. This also caused the Henan provinces that were still able to resist Shi Le to collapse in an instant. Jie Zhao's troops advanced to the south of the Huaihe River, occupied Shouchun, and rode on top of Jiangdong's head.
"This time we are just here to test, to find some excuses for Yin Hao's Northern Expedition to send troops." Li Yue guessed.
Yin Hao was highly expected by Jiangdong, who thought he could be compared with Huan Wen.
"Nowadays, the situation in Hebei has changed suddenly. Although Ran Wei is a hero, he is caught between the barbarians. I'm afraid it won't last long. What should the governor... do?" Chang Wei's eyes flashed with a faint light.
This is also the time to test Li Yue's vision and mind.
Jiang Dong has no sincerity in his behavior. He just wants to use the Black Cloud Army as a spear and throw it away after use.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
If you cannot rely on the south, you can only look to the north or stand on your own.
However, in the mere area of Yanzhou, with a population of less than one million, self-reliance is tantamount to seeking death.
"Declare that from the north to the south of the river, Yanzhou will obey the orders of Yecheng and submit to Ranwei!" Li Yue said loudly.
Chang Wei laughed, "I knew the governor would be like this."
In terms of national justice, no matter what Ran Min's previous surname was, he is now a Chinese regime, sandwiched between the Hu people, weak in power, and incompatible with the Hu people. As a descendant of the Chinese, Li Yue naturally wants to support him.
In terms of Yanzhou's interests, Ran Min was in the front, attracting the firepower of all the barbarians, and Li Yue couldn't get what he wanted.
No matter what he has done before, as long as he is facing the barbarians now, he is an ally of Black Cloud Mountain!
Chang Wei said with emotion: "It's a pity that if Lord Wei could calm down and secretly exterminate the Shi clan everywhere, he wouldn't have to be in such a situation where he is surrounded by enemies on all sides."
"It's not Ran Min who can keep his composure."
When Cao Cao and Sima Yi were in power, they were cautious about the emperor, but Ran Min was so aggressive. In three or four months, he killed two "emperors" in Jie and Zhao, which alerted the Hu people in Hebei.
But Ran Min is Ran Min after all, and he has always been extremely superstitious about his own power.
Within two days, the envoy from Yecheng came.
It's Dong Run again, "Your Majesty is deeply impressed by the high righteousness of the Commander-in-Chief, and has appointed the Commander-in-Chief as the Great General of Zhennan. He is also the official in command of the Three Divisions, the Duke of Xingyang County, and the Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in Henan during holidays!"
The series of names dazzled Li Yue, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Liu Guo, the Xiongnu from Yangcheng, has turned his back on me, the Wei Dynasty, but his heart is towards Jie Zhao. The general must kill this beast!"
"Obligated!" Li Yue had long wanted to attack Liu Guo, but this man always greeted him with a smile and found no excuses or opportunities.
Now Liu Guo responds to Xiang Guo, Li Yue supports Yecheng, and the two sides are in conflict.
"Your Majesty is waiting for good news in Yedu."
"There is a certain area south of the Yellow River that your Majesty will pacify. There will be a war in Hebei in the future. We, the Black Cloud Army, are duty-bound!"
As long as the war does not occur within the territory of Yanzhou.
"This message will definitely be passed on to Your Majesty!" Dong Run said goodbye with his hands in hand.
Liu Guo first took refuge with Zhang Jack, then switched to Shi Zun, and now he has jumped to Shi Zhi's command. He is not an easy character to deal with. He has been promoted step by step from the governor of Luozhou to the general of Zhennan. In the past two years, in addition to his The 40,000 Xiongnu headquarters had a lot more troops.
Once Yanzhou sends troops, Zhang Yu of Xuchang will definitely not remain indifferent.
The situation in Yuzhou is very similar to that of the Three Kingdoms.
If Li Yue doesn't move, the two of them will be in peace. Once Li Yue sends troops, the two of them will definitely unite.
With the current strength of Heiyun Mountain, it is easy to deal with any one person, but it is a bit difficult to deal with two people at the same time.
The combined strength of the two men was no less than 150,000.
"Why should the governor be anxious? From what I see, Liu Guo should be anxious first. The Jiangbei Expedition is imminent, and he will bear the brunt. Yangcheng is too small to be a base. In the opinion of my subordinates, this person will go north to fight with Shi Zhi in the near future. When the armies gather together, the general can stop them halfway!"
Chang Wei’s head melon seeds are still useful.
However, the Jiangbei Expedition has been clamored for so long, but there has been no movement.
In the current situation, once Yin Hao makes the northern expedition to Xu and Luo, Zhang Yu and Liu Guo will be the most unlucky, and Li Yue will be the beneficiary.
"I don't know the year or month of the Jiangdong Northeast Expedition." Li Yue really couldn't praise Jiangdong's efficiency, and suddenly he had a plan in his mind.
The biggest weakness of the Central Plains is that it is a land of hundreds of battles, but its biggest advantage is that it can attack both sides.
I don’t know how long Yin Hao’s Northern Expedition will be delayed, why not let them advance the Northern Expedition?
When he thought of this, Li Yue suddenly thought, "How about I ask Huan Wen to go north to Luoyang?"
"The situation is unclear, so Huan Wen may not send troops." Chang Wei sent an envoy to Jingxiang and had some understanding of the situation in the south.
"It's just to create momentum and tell Jiangdong. Yin Hao has always been as famous as Huan Wen. If he hears that Huan Wen sent troops to the Northern Expedition, will he be indifferent?"
Yin Hao was promoted by the Jiangdong nobles to counter Huan Wen, and he followed Jing Xiang in everything.
If Huan Wen doesn't move, Yin Hao won't move. If Huan Wen moves, Yin Hao will definitely rush ahead...
"This is a great plan. I will go to Jiangling right now!" Chang Wei cupped his hands and said.
"Mr. Thank you."
