Surrendering in name is not the same thing as surrendering the whole city.
Zhang Ping of Bingzhou surrendered to the Fu and Murong families at the same time, and Li Yue was also nominally a minister of Ran Min.
Many counties and counties in Hebei were nominally subordinate to Ran Wei.
But leading troops into the city is another matter. It is tantamount to giving up one's own interests. Zhang Yu is also considered a prince, but he surrendered so easily.
Chang Wei's eyes flashed, "Has Jiangdong ever canonized Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Shengye said: "No!"
"Then the matter is undecided."
Chang Wei's words sounded like comfort, but Li Yue knew that what he said was true.
Zhang Yu gave up his hometown in Xuchang, but Jiang Dong didn't express anything. Jiang Dong's attitude towards Zhang Yu can already be seen.
You know, not long ago, Jiangdong also granted special titles to Yao Yizhong and his son. When comparing the two sides, it seems that they are too favorable to one.
However, this is also Jiangdong's consistent behavior. He is far more afraid of the civilian commanders and northern generals than the barbarians.
At that time, Zu Ti, Li Ju, Guo Mo, and Zu Yue were all tricked to death in this way. Only Su Jun was forced to rebel and easily captured Jiankang...
With this past incident, how could Jiang Dong be honest with the refugee commander in the north?
"Send the order, Yuzhou will make a detailed plan to publicize the old affairs of ancestors and Su Jun!" Li Yue had a plan in his mind. Xie Shang and Zhang Yu could not be of the same mind.
Even if it doesn't work out, it would be nice to add some nausea to the two of them.
"My subordinates, go now!" Zhang Shengye backed away.
In a few days, armies gathered from all over the country.
What made Li Yue happy was that powerful people from all over Qingyan were able to provide food and personnel. Yanzhou alone could muster 20,000 powerful troops, and the Zheng family in Xingyang sent 5,000 troops.
Although the Cui family of Qinghe did not send troops, they directly covered the food for the 20,000 Heiyun army.
In addition, there was a powerful Bohai force led by Jia Jian, who led 10,000 troops to the south.
The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were indeed an era of powerful nobles. To a certain extent, fighting for the world was actually about competing for the recognition of powerful nobles.
After Yao Xiang and Shi Kun went south, they killed and looted more than 3,000 people, which aroused the anger of the powerful.
The Jie people under Shi Kun also united all places as never before. No one wanted to see Jie Zhao resurrected from the dead at their doorstep.
In the two years since Li Yue took charge of Yanzhou, all his efforts have been fruitful in order to protect the land and the people. Hebei is full of blood, but Yanzhou is full of vitality, and has been recognized by the powerful and the people.
Yao Xiang and Shi Kun joined forces. Although they increased their military strength, they found themselves in political trouble.
When it comes to choosing, powerful people are smarter than anyone else, and they also need a stable environment to recuperate.
Troops from all over the country converged towards Boyang, Jibei like a trickle.
"If Yao Yizhong were here, he would never go south at this time and sit in Shetou to observe the changes in Hebei. Wouldn't it be better? Now that he has left his nest, he will be defeated!" Jia Jian belittled Yao Xiang as soon as he came. .
"Prefect Jia is here to defeat Yao Xiang and Shi Kun!" Li Yue laughed.
At the foot of Liangfu Mountain, 70,000 to 80,000 troops each guarded their tents.
The powerful people took the initiative to send troops, and the ones they sent were all strong elites, and they also brought their own equipment, food and fodder.
"The Jie people killed my elders and harmed my neighbors, and I, Sun Yuan, are incompatible with them!" Sun Yuan, a strong man in Yangping, said through gritted teeth.
Pingyuan beggars handed Du Neng over and said: "I would like to be the vanguard in this battle!"
Others, such as Zhu Tu of Leling and Ding Rao of Qinghe, were also furious and wanted to kill Shi Kun.
However, Li Yue also heard that their hatred was mainly aimed at Shi Kun and not much against Yao Xiang. "I already know your thoughts. This time we attack Yao Xiang and Shi Kun. We will reward them based on their merits. Whoever made the most efforts will be rewarded." , whoever gets the most will get the most!”
Before a war, interests must be clearly divided.
Despite their righteous appearance now, no one knows if they will run away on the battlefield.
"Thank you Captain!"
"The governor is generous!"
Everyone was overjoyed and the atmosphere became more and more exciting.
Two days later, the food from the Cui family in Qinghe arrived, and the preparations were almost complete. Li Yue ordered the troops to march from Jibei to Jinan.
The good news first came from Linzi County. Duan Zhen and Fan Lu fought three small battles with Shi Kun's tribe, drawing two and winning one. The formation killed more than 370 people, which greatly dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance.
This good news greatly boosted the morale of the troops.
Zhu Tu, Ding Rao, Du Neng and others repeatedly requested a battle, but Li Yue did not agree and only ordered all armies to stand firm.
Shi Kun was nothing to worry about. He was similar to Liu Xian. He was defeated repeatedly. His real opponent was Yao Xiang behind him.
Now that we have decided to proceed steadily, we must implement it unswervingly.
The army marched forward step by step.
The situation in the world was changing rapidly, and news from the north quickly spread.
Ran Min and Murong Ke fought in Wei Chang, and three battles broke out in a few days. The Wei army faced several times the enemy, but took the initiative to attack, winning three battles and three victories, and killed the Yan army.
However, the Yan army under the command of Murong Ke was very resilient. They lost three games in a row, but they were able to maintain their strength. There was no major defeat, and the Yan army's losses were only about 5,000.
Ran Min's character is exactly the opposite of Murong Ke.
Ran Min moved forward with unparalleled ferocity.
Murong Ke is calm, intelligent and courageous.
The two met their opponents in chess, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
However, Li Yue knew the final result. Murong Ke could lose five or ten times with Yan Guo on his back, but Ran Min would be doomed if he lost once.
Li Yue asked Chang Wei to give a memorial and advised Ran Min to stop.
"Your Majesty used more than 10,000 soldiers to defeat Murong Ke's 100,000 troops, which shocked the world. Now that the Yan army's arrogance has been severely defeated, we should rely on Ye and Xiang to hold on. But they are exhausted. They can destroy Murong Ke's 100,000 troops in one fell swoop, and then move forward. You Yan, conquer the world!"
This is the safest way Li Yue can think of.
If Ran Min adopts it, at least he will not be defeated.
The guards flew towards Wei Chang on Pegasus.
Li Yue also concentrated his energy to fight against the coalition forces of Yao Xiang and Shi Kun.
The two men worked together to attack Guanggu City, but were blocked by Cui Jin and Bo Wu.
Cui Jin's attack on the city was common, but he was extremely good at defending it. During the Luxian battle, he was also the one who arranged the defense line to block Ran Min to the north of Surabaya, forcing Ran Min to go around Rencheng from Jibei to fight for the Black Cloud Army. The victory was established.
Now Cui Jin and Bo Wu only had 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and the Southern army was still the main force, but Yao Xiang and Shi Kun were not allowed to advance.
Guanggu is stable, and Qingzhou is also stable.
Li Yue ordered Jia Jian, Duan Yi, and Fan Lu to harass Shi Kun from north to south. He ordered Liang Xiao to lead Zhu Tu, Ding Rao, and Du Neng to establish a defense line in Linqu in the south, preparing to attack Yao Xiang and Shi Kun's 300,000 troops. Catch them all in one fell swoop.
Within a few days, Wei Chang's reply arrived. The letter was short, but as powerful as ever, "I will crush Ji Jicheng and kill Murong Jun. Why should I fear a mere Murong Ke?"
Li Yue smiled bitterly. Ran Min was in high spirits now. After three battles and three victories, how could he retreat?
If he could bend and stretch, how could Ran Wei be where he is today?
While he was thinking about it, the personal guard came to report, "Captain, a secret message has arrived from Xuchang!"
Li Yue cheered up. Now the north was temporarily inextricable, Qingzhou was stable, and only Yin Hao was left in the south.
He successfully took over Xuchang Luoyang and will definitely not stop there.
Judging from the general trend, Yao Xiang went south just to cooperate with Yin Hao's Northern Expedition.
