Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 268 Returning
In his later years, Shihu already had a premonition that the threat would come from the north.

Order Shangshu Zhang Qun to conscript 16 men and women and [-] vehicles from various counties, transport soil to the north of Yecheng, and build Hualin Garden and Changwei.

Fleeing from Xiangguo to Fangtou, you need to cross half of Jizhou from east to south.

Li Yue has been around for so long, and Fan Lu is the first one who took the initiative to join him.

Yan Guo has already occupied Zhongshan County, and Zhang Ping is not too far away to the west, so there is no need to take the risk of going around a big circle to join him.

Chang Wei said with a smile: "It seems that the prestige of the governor is not inferior to Lord Wei."

It is always a good thing for someone to go to him, which shows that Yanzhou has become one of the best forces in the world. Although Li Yue was a little puzzled, he still went out of the city with his personal guards to greet him.

To the northeast, a cavalry galloped through the snow.

Everyone has two horses, and the one on the horse wears a helmet and armor and holds a spear. Although the banner behind his back is slightly broken and stained with blood, his strong aura directly penetrates the wind and snow.

Originally surrendered.

But the Heiyun army was infected by the aggressiveness on the opposite side, and unconsciously erected their spears and large shields.

"What an elite team!" Li Yue exclaimed in admiration.

Fan Lu was able to break out of Ran Min's hands, so his strength was naturally impressive.

Chang Wei said: "The governor must not be careless, this person's origin is a little strange."

You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. Li Yue deeply believed that and made the Heiyun Army be on guard.

There are too many crazy people these days, tens of thousands of people dare to claim the title of emperor, and Ma Qiu's thousands of people want to replace Fu Hong...

The cavalry approached, the horse slowed down, and someone on the horse fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Even Fan Lu staggered when he got off his horse, and walked up to Li Yue with a limp on both feet. As soon as he cupped his hands, he fell down.

And the cavalry behind him was even worse, the strength just now was gone, many people couldn't stand still, trembling in the snow, even the horses fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, trembling all over...

"Beg... Live..." The voice was almost blown away by the cold wind.

Li Yue took a glance, most of them had yellow faces, and there were many with thick beards, but now is not the time to distinguish between them, "Welcome them back to the city quickly! Prepare the meat soup!"

It's all so miserable, there's no need to take precautions.

Li Yue asked his personal guards to lift Fan Lu up, and returned to the city for diagnosis and treatment in person. He was covered with six or seven wounds. Although he was not fatal, he lost a lot of blood. It was due to his strong physique that he could survive until the end of his life.

Fortunately, it is winter now, if it were spring and summer, this person would have disappeared long ago.

After treating the wound, I boiled some blood-enriching and analgesic medicines such as angelica, white peony root, and rehmannia glutinosa, and let people feed it.

It was not until night that Fan Lu woke up slowly, struggling to get up.

Li Yue pressed his shoulder, "You are still seriously injured, rest for a few more days, don't worry about other things, your part will be healed by someone."

"Thank you, Commander... for your life-saving grace." Fan Lu was a typical northern warrior, with a majestic appearance and a tall stature.

After settling him down, Li Yue returned to his residence, and several school affairs waited for a long time.

"The subordinates went through the things they brought, and talked to the soldiers, there is nothing suspicious."

If there is no suspicion, it means that this person is sincerely defecting to himself.

"Don't relax, keep an eye on it." Li Yue felt a little comforted in his heart. These years have been reversed, and loyalty is more important than anything else.

Fan Lu's first hurdle was passed.

However, Li Yue had another difficulty.

For some reason, Ran Min found out about this matter, and directly issued an order to ask Li Yue to hand over Fan Lu.

A wave of waves has risen again.

Fan Lu is not an ordinary general, but Liu Xian's leading general, that is, the leader of the Central Committee. Not everyone can take this position.

It is impossible for Li Yue to hand over others who have defected from thousands of miles away, otherwise who would dare to vote for Yanzhou in the future?

Li Yue asked Chang Wei to write a memorial to analyze the current situation for Ran Min.

The capture of Xiangguo does not mean that everything will be fine. Ran Wei has internal and external troubles, and it is time to recuperate.

A few days later, Ran Min's edict came again, listing Li Yue's various acts of disobedience. The most serious ones were attacking Qingzhou without obtaining the edict, accepting the enemy's generals, and occupying Fangtou and Liyang. , to spy on Yedu.

The words were quite intense.

"Ran Min dares to come, let him taste the power of my black cloud army's sword!" Wei Shan became more and more disgusted with Ran Min.

Not only him, most of the generals in the army didn't like Yecheng too.

In fact, Li Yue also annoyed Ran Min, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only coax him as much as possible and fight for Qingyan's development opportunities.

As long as he survives this year and digests Qingzhou, even if Ran Wei falls, Li Yue can keep the Murong family at the north of the Yellow River.

"Don't worry, Ran Min won't send troops." Based on Li Yue's understanding of Ran Min, if he is sure to capture Fangtou and Li Yang, what's the point?He had already brought a knife to kill him.

And his fierce words show that he is also guilty.

Li Yue knew better than Ran Min the situation in Yecheng. There was no more food left in the treasury. If it wasn't for the 40 shi of grain he sent up, Ran Min would have gone to the Northwest Wind long ago.

Chang Wei gave another memorial, saying that the attack on Qingzhou was a last resort, and Qing, Xu, Yang and Yu all had the intention of surrendering to Jiangdong, so they had to send troops.

As for Bohai, if the Black Cloud Army doesn't take action, I'm afraid it will be reduced to Yantu by now.

In the past, Li Yue still wanted to give up Fang's head, but after such a back and forth, Li Yue felt that he could still grind it out.

Fangtou is not far from Yecheng, one or two hundred miles away, and there is a flat river, and letters are exchanged very quickly.

A few days later, Ran Min's edict came again.

Directly threatened Li Yue that if he did not hand over Fangtou and Li Yang, he would lead an army of [-] to conquer!
These words can scare others, but they can't scare Li Yue.

How many troops he has in hand, maybe Li Yue knows better than him.

During the comings and goings every month, people in Yecheng sent various news to him.

Xiangguo was defeated, and 5 elites were destroyed. Ran Min escaped by hiding in the palace outside Xiangguo city, and returned to Yecheng with more than ten riders. More than 3000 people.

And the more he yelled, the less worried Li Yue was.

Chang Wei wrote another memorandum to help Ran Min analyze how strong the Fangtou is, and advised him to calm down, don't forget that Murong Jun is eyeing you in Youzhou, and Yan Guo's soldiers have advanced to Zhongshan County.

By the way, recall the glorious years of the past, and don't forget the love between the two sides...

Anyway, it's just one meaning, don't tear your face, just drag it on like this.

Ran Min didn't capture Fangtou last time, and it's even more impossible this time.

After the letter went up, Ran Min remained silent.

He stopped, but Li Yue became worried. If this guy really came to kill desperately, it would be another protracted offensive and defensive battle.

However, the news from Yecheng reassured Li Yue.

The food in Ran Min's treasury could not support a large-scale war.

Seeing that the spring plowing was approaching, Ran Min sent another edict, asking Li Yue to give him 50 shi of grain...

　On Monday, some business to attend to, two chapters to take a breather...
