The struggle with the Murong clan must be a long-term process. Now that Zhongshan is in their hands and the north gate is open, Shangdang can no longer cause problems.
In later generations' parlance, Shangdang was a strategic high ground.
Throughout history, numerous wars have broken out here.
Bingzhou Li Yue can be dispensed with, but Shangdang must hold it in his hands.
Shangdang, Fangtou, Liyang, and Changshan, with these four cities supporting Yecheng, will have the confidence to face Murong's army in the future.
Now the Murong clan is caught in the civil strife in Youzhou. These powerful men are extremely tenacious, martial and warlike, and cannot be pacified in a moment. The north is not worried for the time being, and if we don’t expand the strategic space at this time, after the Murong clan has digested Youzhou, they will No chance.
"Gong Liang is far-sighted!" Cui Jin also marveled.
"Order, Feng An, the governor of Shangdang, goes south to assist in the capture of Hanoi. Wei Shan and Gao Yun lead 10,000 veterans of the Heiyun Army and 20,000 town troops to attack Hanoi. If Feng An obeys the order, he will take Hanoi first. If not, you will not have to Take down Shangdang.”
"Follow the order!" Wei Shan and Gao Yun held their hands.
The decision was made and the army set off immediately.
After the military merit system was promulgated, the soldiers in the territory were happy to hear about the battle and their morale was high.
Before leaving, Li Yue specifically told Wei Shan to listen to Gao Yun's opinions.
As a veteran, Wei Shan should at least be given the title of general, but during the Fangtou battle, he attacked blindly and was ambushed by Murong Ke, resulting in the death of more than 1,700 elites, which became a stain on him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, my subordinates are definitely not narrow-minded!" Wei Shan looked solemn.
This can also be considered as his personality charm. He is relatively open-minded by nature. He was named a former general and did not complain much.
After sending the army out of Jinming Gate, Li Yue took everyone back to the city.
Within two days, the Cui family, the Liu family, the Lu family, and the Zheng family sent their legitimate daughters to Yecheng one after another.
According to the etiquette system, in ancient times, there were fixed rules for the period of marriage: one year for the emperor, half a year for the princes, one season for the officials, and one month for the common people.
However, in these extraordinary times, there is not so much time and effort to pay attention to.
Li Yue can be regarded as a prince. If we wait for the first half of the year, we don't know how the world situation will develop.
So everything should be done quickly and simply.
Several major noble clans were more anxious than Li Yue. They had sent people, so naturally they would not be so rigid.
When the news of Liang Gong's marriage came out, Yecheng instantly became beaming with joy.
The remaining people in the city cleaned their homes one after another, and the streets were kept spotless. Many houses even had peach charms posted on them.
Before the wedding even started, people took to the streets and cheered.
The families of the soldiers even put on new clothes and started singing and dancing in the streets.
People in the Wei and Jin Dynasties loved dancing and music, and they even liked liveliness.
Li Yue had been fighting in the south and north for several years. He was used to seeing killings and natural and man-made disasters, but he rarely saw such joy. He had mixed feelings in his heart and asked Cui Jin to distribute some food to the people.
No one has five fights, there are not many, and the right should be celebrated.
Life is difficult for everyone these days.
When Shi Hu was alive, they lived in terror, and when Ran Min was in power, they lived in killing.
Now that I am here, I must give them some hope, and also give myself hope.
But at the same time, Li Yue felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier. How could such a group of simple people be allowed to beg for a living under the feet of foreigners?
"Congratulations to Mr. Liang, congratulations to Mr. Liang."
There were cheers everywhere in the city.
Until night, it still refused to fade away. Instead, in front of Jinming Gate, people threw small light boats into the Zhang River.
The lightship floated along with the water waves, passing through the entire city of Ye from west to east, lighting up the war-torn city.
Liu Qun also took the Ting Liao from the treasury and placed it on the street. In the night, Ye City was filled with soft light.
There was originally a curfew, but Li Yue ordered it to be cancelled.
Just let the scouts and school officials take precautions secretly, and let the guards take turns patrolling.
In this dark world, this night is so precious.
At Cui Jin's suggestion, Li Yue took Xin's sisters and Liu's to drive around Yecheng at night.
The Su Wei army seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and many people were arranged openly and covertly inside and outside.
Everywhere he went, people gave him their hands.
Although they were all silent, the gratitude in their eyes could be seen.
"Husband... I will definitely bring peace to the world." In the carriage, the Xin sisters and Liu all burst into tears.
Li Yue nodded deeply.
Isn't this the meaning of coming to this world?
The next day, the scouts returned the first piece of good news.
Feng Ang, the governor of Shangdang, was very knowledgeable and led an army of 10,000 people southward to assist in the attack on Hanoi.
At this point, there is no place for such small forces.
It is impossible for Feng Ang's county to resist the current Heiyun Army.
Wherever the black cloud red flag passed, Hanoi cities surrendered one after another without even decent resistance.
In less than ten days, Hanoi was captured.
Wei Shan sent troops to Heyang and looked down at Luozhong. Fu Xiong, who had already penetrated deep into Yuzhou, had to retreat to Luoyang and sent envoys to question him.
Li Yue refused to see him.
However, the troops of the Black Cloud Army did not stop.
Gao Yun led two thousand knights to attack Hedong from Zhiguan and went straight to the Great Salt Pond of Anyi. Originally, it was just a tentative attack. After all, there were only two thousand knights. However, many cities in Hedong had already been opened by Cao Kan. In addition, the Black Cloud Army is famous all over the world, and they can directly open the city...
This is what Li Yue admires most about Gao Yun, his strong desire to attack and his aggressiveness.
Hedong has long been regarded as a treasure by the Fu family. Now Li Yue has stepped in, which is similar to Fu Xiong's stepping into the Central Plains.
Ten thousand good words are not enough.
Fu Jian obviously understood the meaning behind this move and sent his old acquaintance Lu Polou over.
"Hedong is the gateway to Guanzhong. What Liang Gong did has greatly disappointed my Majesty. Could it be that Liang Gong wants the two families to fight against each other?"
"Yuzhou is the heart of the Central Plains. Your parents drove straight into it. How could you ever put Duke Liang in your eyes?" Tiao You refused to give in.
"For the former, my Majesty had the intention to send Yuluo to Liang Gong, but Liang Gong ignored it. My family sent troops, and Liang Gong disturbed my retreat. This is an unjust act."
Tiao You stood up and wanted to argue. Li Yue waved his hand to tell him to calm down and said with a smile: "Why didn't I hear that Hedong belongs to your family?"
Lu Polou was blocked in one sentence.
Even the huge Guanzhong could not satisfy the Fu family's appetite, which shows how ambitious they were.
If one day, Murong's army invades the territory, will the Fu family take advantage of the situation to rob them?
The knife is in other people's hands and the flesh is on your own body. In this era, it is best not to expect others to be kind or reasonable.
Lu Polou was still arguing, "Although Hedong is not owned by my family, it is not the land of Liang Gong!"
"It's neither your home nor mine, so why can't we attack it?" Li Yue looked at him and said.
"This..." Lu Polou's face flashed.
Li Yue knew that he couldn't make the decision on many things, so he didn't bother with him. "There is still Wang Zhuo in Longxi, Sima Xun in Hanzhong, Liu Wuhuan, the Huns in Hetao, and the Zhang family in Hexi. These are all places where we can use our strength. From now on, you and I The two families should take care of each other, not plot against each other!"
Fu Jian didn't even manage Yongzhou, so he hurriedly came to the Central Plains to wade through the muddy waters. Li Yue was not optimistic about the future alliance between the two families.
What's more, when they agreed to attack Liu Guo together, Fu Jian's lion opened his mouth, and there were actually cracks between the two sides.
