Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 171 Change

Back at the tower, Li Yue thought hard.

The begging army cannot be completely regarded as an army. Solving the begging generals does not mean solving the begging soldiers.

What they want is not to separate, but not to weed out the old and the weak. The fighting strength of the begging army will never increase.

What Li Yue wants is that the Qihuo army can be used by him, and it is no longer a loose tribal nature, can be ordered like an arm, and dare to fight tough battles.

After thinking about it, there is only one way, which is to simply set up another Southern Army to stand side by side with the Heiyun Army, following the example of the Qingzhou Army of Emperor Wu of Wei and the 36th Army of the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The word "begging to live" is really harsh, and it was replaced by the Southern Army. According to the region, the number of troops with more than a thousand people is the supervisor, and the number of less than a thousand is the lieutenant.

Such as Changyuan Governor, Lei Zewei and so on.

Father, son, uncle and nephew are all in the army, which also has certain advantages. There has been a saying since ancient times: father and son fight in battle, and fight against brothers.

Relatives can watch and help each other in the army, and will not be easily broken up.

Each governor and lieutenant, as usual, set up positions such as Dianjun, Sima, and Tuntian Envoy to coordinate various regions and organize production and training.

If there is a war, the young and strong elite will be assembled to send troops, led by General Heiyun. If there is no war, they will farm and train under their respective jurisdictions.

Those who killed the enemy in the Southern Army enjoyed the same rewards as those of the Heiyun Army, and those who were strong and brave were also selected into the Heiyun Army, and after their meritorious service, they were promoted to Heiyun General.

Equivalent to the reduced version of Fubing, the Southern Army is also equivalent to the reserve of the Heiyun Army.

The Fubing in the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang dynasties did not come out of thin air, but also evolved from the settlement soldiers in the Qin and Han dynasties.

It took two days to sort out all the details, and then invited the famous veterans in the begging army to discuss with them.

This is already the biggest concession Li Yue can make, taking into account their own interests.

Under Li Yue's careful explanation, the old soldiers nodded one after another, "As long as we don't separate our flesh and blood, obey the general's orders!"

After hearing that Li Gong had rewarded the land and was promoted to Heiyun General, each one's eyes lit up.

Li Yue said: "It's said before, in future battles, you have to bring food, grass, ordnance, and defeat the enemy. In addition to military achievements, you will also be rewarded generously."

"Haha, this is a trivial matter!" The old soldiers waved their hands, and they wished they could follow behind the Heiyun army to pick up ready-made ones.

If they didn't object, Li Yue asked the Black Cloud Army to spread the word among the Southern Army and ease the relationship between the two sides.

This time it was much smoother, and there was no more confrontation.

After the establishment of the Southern Army, there were only [-] troops left, but its combat power was greatly improved. The key point was actually controlled by Li Yue, and it would no longer be the same as before, turning around and leaving if there was a disagreement.

With the addition of the Black Cloud Army, Li Yue had nearly [-] troops, instantly becoming one of the best forces south of the river.

After integrating the interior, Li Yue turned his gaze to the outside.

Yanzhou Mu stamped the jade seal, which has legal effect, and the Heiyun army must not be limited to Chenliu.

There are also 56 counties in the eight counties of Dongjun, Dongping, Jibei, Taishan, Jiyin, Rencheng, and Gaoping.

Jie Zhao had an assassination history in Yanzhou, and his administrative office was in Linqiu at first, and then moved to Yuncheng. Jie Zhao ruled the Northern Kingdom and moved to Juancheng.

When Shi Bin was besieged that day, he asked for help from all directions. Juancheng also assembled seven or eight thousand troops to try to rescue him. Later, when Chenliu was captured, begging troops from all over Yanzhou gathered to respond. They were threatened by Bo Wuyitong and retreated.

The governor of Yanzhou was under the governor of Yanzhou, and Li Yue unceremoniously ordered Liu Qi, the governor of Yanzhou, to come to Chenliu to discuss matters in his capacity as the governor of Yanzhou.

Chen stayed at the westernmost end of Yanzhou, which was closer to Yuzhou geographically.

Juancheng is in Dongjun in the north, and Li Yue can step on it with one foot.

After the order was issued, as expected, Liu Qi not only remained indifferent, but also recruited soldiers and horses from various places into Juancheng to strengthen the defense.

"Liu Qi, born in the Liu family of Zhongshan, is the nephew of Liu Sikong's family. After Shi Hu broke Duan Liao, he captured several Liu Sikong's nephews and nephews. Liu Qun was appointed as the order of Zhongshu, and Liu Qi was appointed as the servant of Shangshu and the governor of Yanzhou." Zhang Shengye read the collected information.

Shihu was captured by Liu Kun in his early years. After Shile captured Jizhou, Liu Kun wanted to join Shile to fight against the Huns and Han, so he returned Shihu.

With this relationship, Shi Hu has always been kind to the Zhongshan Liu family.

Liu Qi has more of a literati air than a military general. He served as governor of Yanzhou for six years, recruiting refugees, reclaiming wasteland, and governing Yanzhou well, much better than chaotic Yuzhou.

Judging by Liu Qi's posture, he is going to be loyal to Jie Zhao.

Li Yue stared at the map, and suddenly smiled, "This person is just a scholar!"

If he shrinks his troops to Juancheng, doesn't he hand over other counties?

Li Yue then ordered the prefects of the counties to come to Chenliu for an audience.

Jiyin in the east is adjacent to Chenliu, knowing that he can't hide, he came to see him honestly, while the other counties of Dongjun, Dongping, Jibei, Taishan, Rencheng, and Gaoping continued to wait and see.

"The last general is willing to lead an army to take Juancheng directly, and capture Liu Qi to offer it!" Xu Cheng cupped his hands.

With a strong army in hand, and Jie Zhao's edict, it is justifiable to send troops, Liu Qi, a civil servant, how can he resist?

Li Yue shook his head and said: "There is a saying in the art of war, attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top line. In the land of hundreds of battles in the Central Plains, there are many wormwood. It is rare for Yanzhou to have a chance of survival, and we must not suffer from military disasters."

Shi Hu is dead, Liu Qi's biggest backer is gone, Jie Zhao's drastic changes are imminent, Li Yue wants to see how Liu Qi will choose.

Today, Li Yue holds the two counties of Xingyang and Chenliu in his hands, plus Jiyin County that surrendered, and the 29 counties of the three counties have expanded very fast, and many places have not yet been actually controlled.

Time is on your side.

With the current strength of the Heiyun Army, Dongjun will definitely be able to defeat it, but most of Dongjun is from Jin, fighting in the same room, making the Central Plains even worse.

Moreover, outside Chenliu City, Shi Zun's troops continued to increase. At this time, it was naturally impossible for Li Yue to mobilize troops to attack Dongjun.

"It's time to talk to Shi Zun!" Li Yue stood on the tower, looking at the camp in the east.

Tens of thousands of troops blocked the door of the house, which is really uncomfortable. He can't make a living, and Heiyun Mountain still needs to develop.

However, negotiating requires skill, so if you take the initiative to find the door, the natural dwarf will get three points.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk. After the integration of the Southern Army, you should also pull it out to test the waters.

With a military order, within an hour, the southern army gathered outside the east city.

Compared with the previous beggar-like beggar army, the Southern Army today has a new look. Nearly [-]% of the soldiers are wearing leather armor, holding long daggers, and bows and arrows on their backs. running all over the place...

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and when red flags are raised, the momentum will come out.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

The roar of more than 2 people went straight to the sky.

Thousands of cavalry were also sent out from the Heiyun camp in the southwest to cheer.

Zhao Jun shrank in the camp, not daring to move a little bit, hiding behind the barrier and watching.

Looking at the lively soldiers in the city, Li Yue couldn't help but feel a burst of pride in his heart. He fought bloody all the way and finally squeezed into the dining table, and the rest was how to share the fat deer Jie Zhao.

But at this moment, the personal guard came with a person, and Li Yue recognized Zhang Xiong's confidant.

Zhang Xiong is still trustworthy, if there is any disturbance in Yecheng, he will send someone to deliver a message, "Sikong plotted something wrong, was discovered by the Taibao, fled Yedu overnight, and took refuge in Guangzong, the Taibao will launch an army of [-] to attack him!"

Li Yue was taken aback. Didn't Li Nong, Zhang Ju, and Zhang Jack wear a pair of trousers?
Why did the swords meet so quickly?

Li Yue believes that Li Nong is cowardly, but Li Yue will not believe Li Nong's conspiracy anyway.

A few days ago, Li Yue also reminded Zhang Xiong not to act rashly at this time, but to wait and see the changes. I didn't expect to do it so soon.

Li Yue sighed in his heart, even if Zhang Hao wanted to do something, it shouldn't be Li Nong, so many princes of the Shi family were eyeing him.

Shi Zun gathered troops under Chen Liucheng and never went to Guanzhong, waiting for this opportunity.
