"You want to trade Shouchun and Hefei for Luoyang and Hanoi?" Li Yue looked at Quan Yi.
Yao Chang on the side squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, from now on, the Yao family is willing to obey the orders of Duke Liang."
Cui Hong touched his nose and said, "Do you know that Luoyang is not in the hands of our army?"
Yao Chang laughed, showing his white teeth, "It doesn't matter, my family and the Fu family are inseparable. As long as Liang Gong is willing to let go, we will capture Luoyang, cut off Fu Xiong's retreat, and kill him in Luo Yu. To avenge Fang Tou back then!"
After Shi Hu's death, Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong both wanted to make progress in Guanzhong.
Yao Xiang took the lead and attacked with 50,000 troops from Shetou to Fangtou. However, Fu Hong defeated them and captured more than 30,000 troops, nearly breaking Yao's back.
The Yao family also changed from one of the top powers in Hebei to a second-rate role, missing the best period to share Jie Zhao.
Luoyang, Li Yue will definitely not want it, at least not at this stage.
Otherwise, they would be the targets of Huan Wen's Northern Expedition.
Yin Hao suffered heavy losses and could not even touch the border of Luoyang. Jiangdong was basically crippled. Huan Wen did not waste a single soldier. His political reputation had crushed the Jiangdong gentry, and it was soon his turn to embark on the Northern Expedition.
With the Murong clan in the north facing a huge threat, and with another Huan Wen in the south, the Central Plains would fall into a strategic dilemma again.
Yao Xiang would not be ignorant of Jiang Dong's obsession with Luoyang.
Li Yue guessed that it was very likely that Yao Xiang would use Luoyang and Hanoi as a springboard and eventually attack Guanzhong.
However, no one can reveal this point of view, as long as both parties cooperate.
Li Yue hoped that they would cause some trouble for the Fu family and delay their rise.
Yao Xiang took the initiative to come up and act as a vanguard, suppressing the Fu family and getting what they wanted.
In addition, Li Yue captured Shouchun and Hefei without any blood, recreating the strategic pattern of Cao Wei's suppression of Jiangdong, and the farms on both sides of the Huaihe River became the rear.
This deal is a great deal, everyone gets what they need, and it means a lot to both parties.
Li Yue turned his eyes to Cui Hong to see if he had anything to add.
Cui Hong nodded slightly, and Li Yue immediately made the decision, "I have admired Governor Yao for many years, but I just wish I had never met him. Today, as evidenced by the Gushui River, we are in a good alliance, put aside our past grudges, and will not attack each other!"
Li Yue pointed to the water beside the camp.
In this era, it was popular to use mountains and rivers as witnesses, so when Sima Yi swore on Luoshui, all the nobles believed it and sent the Cao Shuang clan to heaven together...
Of course Quan Yi also knew this allusion, and he looked startled for a moment, then his face became full of joy, "From now on, the Yao family will reject the enemies to the west of Ye City because of Liang Gong!"
No one can predict what will happen in the future, but for now there is a basis for cooperation between the two parties, and that is enough.
Li Yue was in a good mood, so he marched south to Yuzhou, but Shouchun and Hefei unexpectedly came into his pocket. This land was useless to Yao Xiang, but it was fat to Li Yue.
"Come here, prepare a banquet. Let's have a show with the two of you today!"
The banquet was quickly prepared.
In the military camp, there are not so many exquisite things, big bowls of wine, and large pieces of meat, which are grilled among the subordinates.
Li Yue originally thought that Yao Chang was a Qiang person with a bold and bold temperament, but he didn't expect that the gentle man who ate meat and drank wine looked more like a Han Chinese than Li Yue.
The Yao family has lived among the powerful people in Jitou for more than ten years, and the Chineseness has become very serious. The children of the Yao family, like the Fu family, have been deeply Chineseized since childhood, and there is very little foreign flavor in them.
While they were eating and drinking, there was a noise outside the camp.
The bodyguard came over and reported, "Mr. Liang, there is a challenge from Di!"
Fu Xiong finally couldn't hold it any longer. More and more troops from Weishi, Mi County, and Yangcheng gathered together, forming a large net. However, Li Yue remained stationary under Xuchang City. Even a fool knew that the atmosphere was not right.
"It's unreasonable, my subordinates are willing to take the heads of Di thieves!" Several members of Heiyun stood up and handed over their hands.
Quan Yi and Yao Chang also put down their wine bowls and looked at Li Yue from the corner of their eyes.
"Who is coming?" Li Yue asked.
"The one-eyed Fu is born and leads five hundred fine knights."
When he heard the name Fu Sheng, Li Yue was stunned. This guy was not easy to deal with. He could be called the most powerful general of the Fu clan. During the battle at Rencheng, others were afraid of Ran Min's power and did not dare to move. Only he dared to attack him head on. .
Fu Sheng is not the only one in the Fu family. Fu Jing, who became famous last year, is both wise and brave, brave and good at fighting. She is a rare handsome talent.
"My subordinates are willing to take the heads of thieves and generals!" several dark cloud generals said impassionedly.
In front of Quan Yi Yao Chang, Li Yue couldn't refuse, otherwise he would be showing weakness, so he could only nod and let them lead the five hundred cavalry to fight.
This kind of challenge is not a one-on-one battle, but a small group of people fighting in front of the formation.
Being chosen as General Black Cloud, there is certainly no shortage of martial prowess.
War drums were beating loudly in the camp, and horses' hooves were thundering outside the camp.
Li Yue continued to drink with Quan Yi and Yao Chang, but his thoughts were outside the camp.
Waves of killing cries came, which made Li Yue slightly worried. The failure of the first wave was a big blow to morale.
The commotion outside the camp grew louder and louder, lasting for more than half an hour before both sides stopped.
Several members of the Black Cloud General returned bloodied and bowed in front of Li Yue. They faced a murderous aura and said, "My subordinates are incompetent and failed to behead the thief!"
"How are the casualties?" Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great to be back. Fu Sheng was not someone to be taken lightly. If he were to challenge a general in a one-on-one battle, he would be even more unable to stand up.
"Seventy-five of our troops were killed, and more than fifty of the bandits were killed!" General Heiyun could not even lift his head.
"Pull down, thirty lashes each!"
"Thank you, Duke Liang." None of the five black generals complained. They walked to the execution ground, took off their armor, and let the long whip hit them.
There was a crackle, and the surrounding soldiers came to watch.
Yao Chang picked up a bottle of wine and saluted Li Yue from a distance, "Today we will know why the Black Cloud Army is so famous all over the world!"
"General Yao is overly praised. It's nothing more than clear rewards and punishments."
When they were done eating and drinking, Quan Yi stood up and handed over his hands, "Zhang Yu and Fu Xiong are so rampant, we should act as soon as possible. I will return to Xiangcheng soon and join forces with my governor to raid Luoyang and block Fu Xiong's retreat!"
"Great kindness!" Li Yue couldn't help but take a high look at the scribe in front of him.
If Yao Xiang attacks Luoyang, it will completely block Fu Xiong's retreat. He and Zhang Yu will become turtles in the urn with nowhere to escape.
Li Yue personally sent him out of the camp gate, and hundreds of horses galloped southward.
"Yao Xiang has formed an alliance with me. If Zhang encounters a certain death situation, Liang Gong can persuade him to surrender. Even if he fails, his military morale will be disrupted!" Cui Hong whispered from behind.
Li Yue thought for a while, shook his head and said: "You don't understand this man. He has 30,000 troops in his hands and will never surrender sincerely. You can order the Wei family and the Mi County town army to go south to entangle Zhang Yu. Our army will go north to entangle Zhang Yu." Fu Xiong, once Yao Xiang captures Luoyang, it will be impossible for the two of them to escape!"
A person cannot stand without trust, and Zhang Yu had no trust, so he had no choice but to put a knife on his neck.
"What Mr. Liang said is true..." Cui Hong smiled shyly.
During the time of the expedition, Li Yue obviously felt that his relationship with him was much closer.
After this battle, Li Yue will get married to his sister Cui Yansi, and the relationship between the two parties will become even closer.
Cui Yansi naturally became Li Yue's wife.
