Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 184 Lu County
"As long as it helps to get rid of Jienu and restore my country, brother will accept it!" Li Yue gave him full trust.

The friendship with Cui Jin for more than ten years has already surpassed life and death.

And if the surname is not Cui, it must be towards the Cui family. Cui Jin is a partial branch of the Cui family. Her parents died of illness, and she was not cared for by the Cui family. It was also taken away by relatives.

The young Cui Jin left the house, wandered in this troubled world, and traveled to Heiyun Mountain. How much affection can he have for the Cui family?

The Cui family of Qinghe has hit a wall repeatedly since the end of Han Dynasty, so that it has fallen into today's decadent situation.

First, Cui Yan opposed Wei Wu's proclaiming king, which aroused Cao Wei's jealousy, and he was sentenced to death, and Cui's family suffered heavy losses.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, Cui Wei tried to separatist Pingzhou, took the opportunity to seize the opportunity, and joined forces with Goguryeo, Yuwen, and Duan to besiege the Murong family, but was defeated by Murong Xin, the weakest in Liaodong, with more than ten cavalry.

Later, the Cui family married Shihu, but was framed to death by Zheng Cherry, and the Cui family fell into the ditch again...

However, after all, the Cui family has a big family and a great business. After suffering so many setbacks, they are still alive and kicking. They are one of the best noble families in Hebei.

Cui Jindao: "The Cui family is very talented. Since the development of Heiyun Mountain, we have no shortage of brave generals who can charge into battle, but we lack civil servants who govern the local area. Yanzhou generals either follow Jiezhao, or return to Jiangdong. They are difficult for generals to use. The meaning of subordinates , Introduce talented people from the Cui family, do not teach them to command the army, but only take care of local government affairs."

When Shi Le swept the East and West, he still had a camp of gentlemen under his command.

Shihu's usurpation of the throne also required the help of a large family in Hebei. The first wife was the daughter of the Guo family in Taiyuan, the second was the daughter of the Cui family, and the third Zheng Yingtao also had the background of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"Brother, why do you need to talk too much, if there are real talents and scholars, you can recommend them!"

Heiyun Mountain has reached the bottleneck of its development, martial arts can be achieved after two or three years of hard work, but it takes years and months for talents, and the disciples of Shangwutang are still in their infancy and need time.

But the most precious thing right now is time.

Jie Zhao chaos is just around the corner, and the current rebellions are just appetizers.

The Xiongnu, Qiang, Di, Xianbei and other forces hidden under the water have not yet moved.

After marching for several days, they entered the territory of Lu County.

Although Li Yue's Yanzhou pastoral status cannot command the counties and counties in various places, it still has a certain deterrent effect.

After the appearance of the Black Cloud Red Banner in Lu County, the incidents of looting, mutilation and killing of refugees became less and less.

However, as far as I can see along the way, there are dead bodies everywhere on the official road, no one has buried them, and the weather in May and June is very stench.

There are also several Jingguan piled up beside the road, with hideous and distorted faces...

Li Yue stopped in front of the Beijing Temple for a long time, these people did not pose any threat to Li Nong, but they wanted to deal with it cruelly.

With the army coming from far away, it is naturally impossible to sleep in the wilderness.

Li Yue wanted to go straight to Lu County, but Cui Jin said: "Lu County is the hometown of Confucius, the general wants to win the hearts of Shandong, so he must go to worship him!"

During the Han and Wei dynasties, the influence of Confucius cannot be ignored, especially when the mountains and rivers are now in ruins.

"The army is going to sacrifice!" Li Yue is not against Confucianism, but against the over-elevation of Confucianism in the past dynasties, thus imprisoning the birth of new ideas, thinking, and new schools.

But this is a matter for the future. Right now, we need to accumulate strength in this troubled world in the shortest time and the fastest way.

Even in troubled times, the Confucius Temple is still full of incense.

Li Yue symbolically offered cattle, sheep, and pigs, worshiped with all the generals, and hurried to Lu County.

Cui Jin made people spread the matter everywhere.

When they arrived in Lu County, the black cloud and red flag were raised, "Kaicheng!"

As soon as the defenders on the city saw the banner, they lost their fighting spirit and shrank behind the young battlements.

"If you don't open the city again, do you want me to fight in? Dare to stop Yanzhou Mu, aren't you afraid of destroying the three clans!" Yang Lue shouted in front of the city gate with his personal guards.

The five thousand armored soldiers stood there densely behind them, without a single sound, but in the silence, a suppressed murderous aura was brewing and rising.

In less than a stick of incense, the city gate opened.

Wei Shan led the army to directly take over the city wall, and Cui Jin led the soldiers straight to the prefect's mansion.

After three or two efforts, the city was under the control of the Heiyun Army.

Xu Shao, the prefect of Lu County, came to see him dressed in silk and satin. He was dressed in exquisite workmanship.

Li Yue glanced at this person, "Lu Jun is the hometown of Confucius, the most holy teacher, Ru Jie killed the refugees in the past, humiliating the virtue of the sages, you should be executed for your crime!"

"You..." Xu Shao probably didn't expect Li Yue to want his life as soon as he came up, "Sikong has military orders, refugees and treacherous people, we are just following orders."

Li Yue came here like a dragon crossing the river, and only a thunderbolt can deter the big and small local snakes in Yanzhou. The murderous aura in his eyes gathers and disperses, "For the sake of opening the city and saving the people in the city from being slaughtered, please forgive me." If you don't die, immediately, you will be removed from the position of prefect of Lu County, and your family property will be confiscated, so you have something to say."

The surrounding black clouds pressed their hands on the handle of the knife, just waiting for an order.

Life or death is all in his mind.

Xu Shao's face turned from red to blue, from green to black, but finally he calmed down and returned to normal. He cupped his hands and said, "I will enforce the law impartially, and my subordinates have no complaints."

Life is the most important thing, wealth and power can't be exchanged for a life.

"From now on, Cui Jin will be the prefect of Lu County! All county magistrates and county lieutenants who have robbed and killed refugees must come to Lu County to surrender within three days!" Yanzhou Mu could be promoted or promoted by himself, Li Yue was just exercising There are powers.

"Wei!" Cui Jin cupped his hands.

Before fighting Li Nong, the rear must only be held in the hands.

Xu Shao led his family members south to vote for Chu Lin that night.

As soon as he came up, one of the prefects was dismissed, and all counties were ordered to surrender within three days. One stone stirred up three waves, and the whole Lu County was full of uproar, and the crowd gathered to defend.

It wasn't just the Zhao army in the counties who robbed and killed the refugees. The people in the city and the tyrants outside the city were not idle.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Of the seven counties under the rule of Lu County, Lu, Wenyang, Bian, Zou, Fan, Xue, and Gongqiu, only the county magistrates and county lieutenants of Wenyang and Bian counties came.

Of course, Li Yue would not kill those who were obedient, he reprimanded them, whipped each of them ten times in public, and then let them go.

As for the counties that did not come, Cui Jin, the new prefect of Lu County, was directly sent to conquer.

Zhenshanying was very good at attacking cities. Within ten days, the counties in the north were breached, and the Wubao who resisted along the way were cleared up, and those county magistrates and county lieutenants who resisted were directly beheaded for public display.

But at this time Li Nong also reacted and ordered Dong Run to lead [-] cavalry to the southernmost Xue County.

Cui Jin saw that he was a member of Guangzong's begging army, so he stood still.

Except for Xue County, the entire Lu County is under the control of the Heiyun Army.

"Hasn't Li Nong's army returned yet?" Li Yue was a little surprised, the way back was blocked, so Li Nong should have panicked.

Zhang Shengye said: "Li Nong's army has been staying in Pengcheng, confronting Chu Po's army."

"Could it be that he was held back by Chu Po?" Wei Shan laughed.

The Jin army is all elites here. Although 3000 generals Wang Kan and Li Mai were lost, it has little impact on the general situation on both sides. The important towns in the north and south of the Huaihe River are all under the control of the Jin army.
