Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 103 Allies
The grain in Gong County was harvested ahead of schedule.

When Liang Xiao and Cao Kan withdrew, Gong County was burned down.

The black clouds rolled in, and the Jie people from Luoyang and Chenggao came late, and they were furious. They put on a stance to attack Heiyun Mountain, but when they saw the towering cliffs of Beishan and the many arrow towers and stone fortresses, they became dejected again. retreated.

The grain along the Weishui River was also harvested ahead of schedule.

Li Yue had just arrived at Weishui Fort, but he didn't expect that there were three support troops on their way.

One is the [-] soldiers of Han Xu in Jing County. They helped them out during the plague, and then voluntarily withdrew, gaining the trust of the people of Jing County. The two places are so close. Jing County will definitely suffer from the disaster.

The army these days is more ruthless than bandits and refugees. Bandits and refugees at least follow the rules. When soldiers cross the border, they will lose their skin if they don't die.

Not surprisingly, the second branch is the Zheng family horse, with more than 100 elite riders.

Zhang Yu climbed to the high branch of the Xie family, and the Zheng family was naturally abandoned. They came here with the intention of teaching Zhang Yu a lesson.

The third team surprised Li Yue, it came from the Gou family. Although there were only more than 300 people, they showed their attitude towards Heiyun Mountain.

It is not uncommon to hold a group to keep warm in troubled times.

Today's fruit, yesterday's cause.

The rise of Heiyun Mountain, apart from charging some protection fees, did not harm them much.

The protection fee was not in vain, and they helped them wipe out bandits and refugees. During the plague, the doctors of Heiyun Mountain treated them.

People are doing it, people around are watching, and the reputation of Heiyunshan has been established.

Instead, Zhang Yu invaded Xingyang, and everyone's good days came to an end.

How to choose, they will naturally make a judgment.

Li Yue took out all the flags in the army and planted them in all the camps on the north bank of Weishui, so that the young and strong men would shout to the opposite bank every two hours to strengthen their prestige.

Two days later, Han Xu arrived first. The [-] infantry were all wearing leather armor, carrying bows, arrows and spears.

The Zheng family not only dispatched a thousand elites, but also brought a lot of grain and grass, and more than 30 craftsmen. They started cutting logs that day, making catapults, arranging antlers, and rejecting horses. They were quite professional.

Li Yue hurriedly invited the carpenters of Gongcao down. This kind of learning opportunity is quite rare.

"I'm Zheng Hui, I've seen Zhaizhu Li." The people sent by the Zheng family this time are still the same, around forty, dressed in Confucian armor, quite capable.

The key is not the kind of arrogance that many noble families often have.

If all the children of the Zheng family were full of wine and food, they would not have persisted in this troubled world until now.

"Brother Zheng, it's time to work!" The enemy was in front of him, and Li Yue didn't see him.

"What happened in the past was all a misunderstanding. Now that foreign enemies are present, it is the duty of the folks in the big hometown to deal with outsiders. How can we talk about hard work?"

These words made Li Yue feel close.

Han Xu on the side said: "Zhang Yu is a very ambitious man. He has both ends of the head. The soldiers under his command are all thieves who harm the people. He must not be allowed to enter Xingyang."

Du Fan, Wei of Goushi County, said: "When Zhang meets Goulian Jiangdong and invades Xingyang, it will definitely attract the attention of Jie people. By then, there will be no peace in Xingyang! Last time, thanks to the head of the village, he excluded the medical officers to treat the people of Goushi. In this battle, our county will do our best. support!"

Although they were few in number, they brought a lot of things, including more than 50 carts of food and equipment.

Resisting Zhang Yu has become the common interest of all major forces in Xingyang.

Fighting a war is most afraid of fighting alone. With so many forces behind Heiyunshan, Li Yue has confidence in this battle. "Thank you for your support. If someone has something to do in the future, I, Heiyunshan, will not stay out of it!"

Zheng Hui's eyes flashed, and Han Xu looked grateful.

Du Fan laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said, "I, Du Fan, don't like to beat around the bush. The village master is a friend of mine, Du Fan."

This person looks like a man with a bold temperament.

Of course, Li Yue's words were not just talking nonsense. With the current strength of Heiyun Mountain, which has not annexed the entire Xingyang, the surrounding forces will not give this opportunity, so it is the best choice to make a meritorious offensive and defensive alliance.

Don't ask them to exert much force, as long as they are pulled back when the time comes.

Just like this time, it is enough for someone to send people, and someone who has food to send food.

Over the past year or so, Li Yue has gradually come to understand a truth, that when he is strong, he has no shortage of allies and people who come to rely on him.

Zhang Yu's army soon arrived, mighty and mighty, fearing no less than 3 men, and camped south of Weishui.

Occupying this feng shui treasure land in Xuchang, with people behind him supporting him, it is not surprising that he recovered so quickly.

learn from mistakes.

This time Zhang Yu was more cautious than last time.

Deep ditches and high forts were dug and dug, and a three-mile-long gentle slope was built on the south bank. A large number of trees were cut down, some of them were made into antlers, and they were piled on the bank to form a long-term confrontation.

Another part of the wood is used to make rafts for crossing the river.

They also sent scouts to search for more than a hundred miles upstream and downstream of Weishui.

But in terms of scouts, Heiyun Mountain is much stronger.

The two sides strangled each other, and the aconite poisonous arrow played a role, and more than 20 people were captured and brought back to the camp for interrogation.

Sure enough, they learned from the prisoners that a [-]-strong army had come from the south to support the battle.

There were more than 300 scouts scattered on the south bank of Weishui before Zhang Yu's army came, and some of them passed through Mi County and infiltrated near Xuchang.

That night, Zhang Yu was given a warning, and a fire suddenly broke out in the camp.

There were not many casualties, but a lot of food was burned.

This move greatly inspired the military spirit on the North Shore.

"Zhang Yu is nothing but that, why not take the opportunity to cross the river and defeat him in one battle?" Du Fan excitedly said.

Zheng Hui nodded slightly, "The enemy's foothold is not stable, we can fight."

The men and horses led by the two were quite elite, and Zheng Hui still had two hundred cavalry in his hands, well equipped and well trained, so he naturally hoped to fight.

Only Han Xu remained silent.

Li Yue looked at the other side. The fire didn't cause much impact. It was the peasants who were in a panic. Under the autumn sun, the camp was shining with armor.

Especially Zuo Ying, who did not know when they erected more than a dozen heavy crossbows towards him.

The north was devastated by the flames of war, and the barbarians were good at riding and shooting, using bows more than crossbows, and there were very few organized crossbow troops in the north.

In the last battle of Xuanyuan Mountain, Zhang Yu did not see a heavy crossbow either.

It is not difficult to imagine where these heavy crossbows came from. The entire Zuoying should be Jiangdong troops.

Zhang Yu came here this time because of his shame, so he must be well prepared. A small fire would make him collapse, which is not realistic.

It is easy to cross the river, but if the battle goes wrong, it will be difficult to return.

That's not how wars are fought.

Li Yue's main purpose was also to keep the food, not to fight Zhang Yukow and achieve the interests of Huan Wen or the Xie family.

For more than a year, he did not fight Jie Nu, but instead ran head-on with the Jiangdong forces. Li Yue was filled with a sense of absurdity, "The morale of the enemy army has not weakened, so don't be reckless. Send orders, and all ministries will stick to their camps and go to war without authorization." whoever, beheaded!"

The main general must show the aura of the main general. Sometimes the coalition forces may not be a good thing. From ancient times to the present, internal problems have been more difficult than external problems.

Favors belong to favors, wars belong to wars.

"Follow the order!" Han Xu took the lead and cupped his hands.

Zheng Hui and Du Fan also bowed together.
