One by one, enemy heads were sent to the Chinese army's tent.
Several black cloud generals are checking the heads to avoid killing good people and taking credit.
Hu people have deep eyebrows, high noses and sunken eye sockets, making them easy to identify. Qiang people look similar to Han people.
Li Yue simply made a rule: a barbarian head would be given five dou of grain, and the other heads would be given two dou of grain. The enemy generals would reward corresponding grain, money, silk, and official positions according to their levels.
Only when the number of heads reaches 800 can one be granted the title of county magistrate, and if the number of heads reaches 1,600, can one be granted the title of general.
Kill Shi Kun or Yao Xiang, and directly ask them to be appointed as the prefect and granted the title of marquis.
A powerful unit can kill more than a hundred heads. Even if they win a big victory, after all, the Hu people and Qiang people on the opposite side are not weak. The reward they want to get is not an easy task.
In this world, a human life is only worth this little food.
Since the promulgation of Ran Min's order to kill Hu, Hebei has flowed into rivers with blood and no one is farming, triggering a large-scale famine and making food more and more precious.
There are many people who kill and set fire just for a bite to eat. Thieves are emerging in Hebei, and many of them are homeless people who cannot survive.
"Pile the heads in front of the ferry for Yao Xiang and Shi Kun to see." Li Yue glanced at the bloody heads without feeling much horror or guilt.
"Wei!" The guard hurriedly went to deal with it.
Almost every day, hundreds of heads are sent for inspection.
The proportion of thick beards, deep eyes and high noses increased significantly.
In less than five days, as many as five to six thousand enemies were killed, and their heads were piled up in towers on the east bank of Zi River.
The loss of 5,000 to 6,000 people was not that big to 300,000 people, but the psychological impact on them was not small.
Quantitative changes will sooner or later turn into qualitative changes.
The deployment on the opposite side has also been adjusted, and the defense has become tighter. Outside the camp, a large number of open and hidden sentries have been deployed, and the cavalry patrols day and night.
But these people always find a way.
The camp of more than thirty miles was focused on one thing and the other. There were more than 10,000 elite troops under Yao Xiang's command. The other enemy troops were not difficult to deal with.
Yi Congjun cannibalized Yao Xiang and Shi Kun's tribe one by one.
Li Yue sent out all his scouts. As soon as he found out that Yao Xiang's elite Qiang people were leaving the camp, the Black Cloud Army would launch a fierce attack.
But Yao Xiang was able to endure it. The casualties were increasing day by day, but he couldn't get out of the situation, and he just endured it.
"Yin Hao has been defeated, Yao Xiang must be waiting for the outcome between Wei Yan!" Chang Wei guessed what the other party was thinking.
It is normal for a big battle to last for half a year and ten months. In half a year, Murong Ke and Ran Min will definitely decide the winner.
If Murong Ke wins, he will definitely go south.
If Ran Min wins, he will most likely not miss this opportunity to attack the empty Chenliu, Dongjun and other places.
Before the war, Ran Min had a grudge against Fang Tou and Li Yang.
"Then let's see who loses his composure first."
Those who are good at fighting are in an invincible position without losing the enemy.
On the Qingzhou battlefield, the Black Cloud Army is already in an invincible position, and the rest depends on who can't hold it.
In the afternoon, a piece of news came from Jiangdong.
Yin Hao retreated in despair, but his men and horses were not much damaged. With Zhang Yu's strength, he could stop the Jin army, but it would be quite difficult to eat them. The Jin army's combat effectiveness was actually not weak.
Zhonglang of the Northern Shan Dynasty moved Xun Xian from Huaiyin to Xiapi. He was appointed by Jiangdong to supervise the military affairs of Qingzhou and was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou.
This appointment is very interesting.
There was a war going on in Qingzhou, and Xun Xian "supervised all the military forces in Qingzhou" and even led the governor of Yanzhou from afar. It is obvious who he came for.
"It seems that my subordinate's guess was wrong. Yao Xiang is not waiting for Murong Ke and Lord Wei, but Jiangdong." Chang Wei looked apologetic.
Xun Xian is the sixth grandson of Xun Yu, and together with his brother Xun Rui, he is known as the "Two Jade from Jiangdong".
During Yin Hao's Northern Expedition, he appointed Xun Xian as the governor and ordered him to farm in Huaiyin and Dongyang. As a long-term solution, he planned to let Xie Shang go north to recover the entire territory of Henan and Luo. However, he did not expect that Yin Hao could not even reach Xuchang. Didn’t pass...
Xun Xian moved to Xiapi, obviously to cope with Yao Xiang on the Qingzhou battlefield.
Li Yue laughed and said: "Could it be that Jiangdong thinks that our Heiyun Army is easier to bully than Zhang Yu? If Xun Xian had stationed troops in Pengcheng, Yanzhou would be in danger. The current troops stationed in Xiapi show that he has no ambition."
Xun Xian stationed troops in Pengcheng, and he could threaten Yanzhou just like Chu Pei's last Northern Expedition. If Xun Xian was bolder and led his army to attack Chenliu, Li Yue would be attacked from both sides.
"Captain Tao is a master of others, and he has the legacy of Wei Wu!" Chang Wei bowed his hands in a salute.
Cao Cao always wants Tong Quechun to lock Er Qiao, and his legacy is really unflattering.
Li Yueqian laughed twice, knowing that Chang Wei did not mean to be sarcastic, "Sir, you are exaggerating. Yao Xiang has placed his hopes on this group of people in Jiangdong, but I am afraid that they are destined to fail."
Zhongshan County, Weichang.
Wei Chang was originally called Han Chang. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei changed its name to Wei Chang.
The battlefield is set up here. To Ran Min, it seems that there is some kind of providence.
In the Wei army camp, the soldiers were roasting the venison they had hunted. However, not everyone could eat the meat. Many soldiers chewed half-cooked wild vegetables and swallowed them with difficulty.
Thirteen days had passed since the war, and food was already in short supply.
Ran Min initially thought that the Yan army could be defeated in ten days, and he was not just arrogant. If it were anyone else, they would have been killed by Ran Min, but Murong Ke was able to save the situation and prevent the entire army from being defeated. .
Ran Min picked up a piece of roasted venison leg meat, looked at the soldiers around him who were chewing grass roots and wild vegetables, handed the venison to a slightly wounded soldier, picked up a handful of wild vegetables and put it into his mouth, and then swallowed it whole.
You can tell from the look on his face how unpalatable this thing is.
"Kill horses and make meat soup!" Ran Min killed many people at every turn, but he was quite kind to the soldiers and the common people.
This is also the reason why the Wei army officers and soldiers are willing to follow him through life and death.
"Cavalry is the key to our army's victory over the enemy, Your Majesty..." Dong Run cautiously advised.
Ran Min was in a good mood after three battles, and said, "No problem, let's kill three hundred horses first, let the soldiers have a meal and recover their strength, and then kill Murong Ke's head in the next battle, and we will win this battle!"
Dong Run didn't dare to persuade him any more.
"Your Majesty, we have found traces of the traitor general's niche!" The scout rushed from the northwest.
Ran Min's whole body was shaken, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Well done, I will kill this thief with my own hands!"
When Hou Kong surrendered, it had a great impact. Changshan failed, and the counties around Yecheng either surrendered or became independent. The people of Ran Wei were in panic all day long.
Zhang Wen cupped his hands and said, "This must be Murong Ke's plan to lure the enemy. Your Majesty must not be careless."
"Hmph, there is nothing I can do about Murong Ke huddled in the camp. Now that he has come out, he can catch them all in one fell swoop!" Ran Min got on his horse and raised his two-edged spear and halberd, "I am the first, and you are the last. Wait for Murong Ke to show up." Body, attack from both sides!"
The Wei soldiers put down the food in their hands and raised their weapons feverishly.
An emperor who constantly leads them will naturally gain incomparable support.
Two thousand fine cavalry galloped toward the northwest in a menacing manner.
Dong Run and Zhang Wen looked at each other, then silently mounted their horses and gathered their soldiers.
