Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 29 Heroes
"Captain Li?" Various memories flashed through Li Yue's mind.

Everyone talked about what happened 20 years ago.

The legend of Li Dudu has been circulating in Yuzhou, and Xingyang is his base camp.

Li Dudu, named Li Ju, was born in Pingyang, Daijun. He was a small and medium-sized official in the county at the beginning.He is also the governor of the county.

Song Zhou, the prefect of Pingyang, wanted to replace him with his relative Wu Ji, but Li Ju took the initiative to say that he was ill and went back to seclusion.

But Wu Ji was afraid that he would come back, so he sent someone to assassinate him, but failed.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, Bingzhou was the source of the disaster. Liu Yuan attacked Pingyang. Li Juping, who was loved by the people for his wisdom and bravery, was elected as the master of Wu.

In the first battle, Shi Le personally rode [-] paces southward. Li Ju ordered the old and the weak, women and children to go into the mountains to avoid chaos.

In another battle, he defeated Liu Chang, the former general of the Zhao family, with [-] cavalry with a thousand men, and Liu Chang only escaped with his body.

In the third battle, he commanded all the tribes of the refugees from Siyu, and fought with Liu Cong and Liu Can in Luo and Rui with [-] cavalry. After more than [-] days of hard fighting, he defeated Liu Can, the former prince of Zhao, and attacked the camp of Han and Zhao at night with thousands of cavalry, and burned him. He camped, burned his supplies, and returned with the whole army. Liu Cong couldn't catch up with him, so he became angry and became ill, and died of illness.

As a result, Li Ju was promoted by Emperor Jin Yuan all the way to General Anxi, Prefect of Xingyang, Governor of Sizhou, and Governor of all military forces in Sizhou.

Lian Liu Kun in the north and Zuti in the east, resisted the attacks of the former Zhao and the later Zhao several times, saved the south of the Yellow River from being trampled by Hu Qi, and preserved the people of Yong and Jisi who went south. .

However, the good times did not last long.

As soon as the Sima family gained a foothold in Jiangzuo, they became suspicious and suspicious of the generals facing the north.

Sima Rui, emperor of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, appointed Dai Yuan, his confidant, as the general of Zhengxi, the governor of the six prefectures of Si, Yan, Yu, Bing, Yong, and Ji, and the governor of Sizhou.

Li Ju's governor of Sizhou was deprived.

But he is broad-minded, doesn't care, and works hard.

But Zu Ti was worried and angry because of this incident, coupled with the premonition that the court was about to suffer civil strife, and the Northern Expedition failed, so he died of worry and anger.

The refugee army is complex, and it is all maintained by Li Ju's personality charm. The reason for resisting the Hu people is half of the hatred of the country and the family, and half of it is to get promoted and make a fortune.

Now even Li Ju's official position is not guaranteed, and others have no hope.

In addition, Shile was rising in Hebei at this time, and the tax was light and the tax was lower than that in the Western Jin Dynasty.

He also set up a gentleman's camp to attract scholars, treat them well, and promote Confucianism. In just a few years, Hebei was actually full of vitality, and the Hu and Han people all returned.

Shi Le sent three generals, Shi Sheng, Shi Cong, and Shi Liang, to garrison Luoyang. Instead of fighting Li Ju head-on, they carried out scorched-earth tactics, plundered the two prefectures of Siyu, captured and killed the people, and destroyed Li Ju's foundation.

At this time, Liu Kun had already been destroyed, Zu Ti was pissed to death, and his younger brother Zu Yue was very selfish.

The small court of Sima in the south fell into the turmoil of Wang Dun. Although Dai Yuan was a celebrity, he was not good at military strategy...

Li Ju was isolated and helpless, lacking in food and grass, gradually broke down, and his subordinates were heartbroken by a series of slapstick operations by the Sima family.

But a good man will always be a good man, launching a conspiracy to surrender to Qian Zhao and attack Shi Le.

Liu Yao sent his cousin Zhongshan King Liu Yue to station troops in Heyin and prepare to besiege Luoyang.

Shi Le sent out heavy troops to support.

When the war was about to break out, at the critical moment, Guo Mo, Li Ju's subordinate, lost to Shi Chong, and led his troops to flee south, causing Li Ju to fall short.

His subordinates conspired to surrender to Shi Le, but Li Ju was unable to suppress him, so he led his troops south to Jiankang, and all his subordinates dispersed. Sima Shang, Ji Hong, Li Gui, Duan Xiu and more than 100 people gave up their homes to follow.

However, fate played tricks on Li Ju again, and when he reached Luyang (now Pingdingshan), he fell off a cliff and died...

A generation of famous generals passed away...

The one left in Xuanyuan Mountain was the family members of Li Ju's subordinates.

Li Yue's heart was surging.

This is the real national hero, but it is a pity that later generations only remember Liu Kun, Zu Ti, Huan Wen, etc., but forget the people who really stood up.

Compared with Liu Kun, he has more military strategy.

Compared with Zuti, he is more open minded.

Compared with Huan Wen, he has no selfishness...

However, the court of the Sima family was not worthy of these heroes, from Deng Ai at the founding of the country to Wei Guan and Wen Yang later, and Zu Ti and Li Ju 20 years ago.

This imperial court has original deformities, powerful officials from generation to generation, civil strife...

"If it's Li Dudu's old department, we'd better not move lightly." Wei Shan looked sad.

Cui Jin said: "Xuanyuan Mountain is heavily guarded, and it's a loyal empress, so if it's not necessary, don't provoke her."

The strength of Xuanyuan Mountain is not lower than that of Heiyun Mountain, and the mountain is dangerous and difficult to break through.

The last time the Gaoli Imperial Guards attacked Heiyun Mountain was a lesson learned from the past.

"Since you don't want to annex them, why don't you become an ally?" Zhou Qian bowed his hands to everyone.

Li Yue's heart moved, "No, let's send some scouts to pretend to defect, and see what's true on the mountain before we talk."

Li Ju is Li Ju, and Xuanyuan Mountain is Xuanyuan Mountain.

After 20 years, who knows what they are now?
Just like Zu Ti, he hit the oars in the midstream and vowed to drive out the barbarians and recover the rivers and mountains, but his younger brother led his troops to defect to Shi Le.

People don't hurt tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts.

Li Yue doesn't miss them, it would be bad if they miss Heiyun Mountain...

These days, all the forces are fighting against the black and the black, and whoever can survive is not a white lotus.

"The owner of the village has far-reaching thoughts, and it's too far-reaching!" Zhou Qian is good at everything and has outstanding management skills, but he just always sends two flatterers.

Tian Baozi squinted at him.

"I'll take twenty elite scouts to Xuanyuan Mountain tomorrow!" Cui Jin pleaded directly.

Fight brothers, fight father and son soldiers.

It's true, brothers are reliable.

And Cui Jin is indeed the most suitable candidate, Wei Shan is careless and not suitable for lurking, Zhou Qian is submissive, and the city is deep, so he may not be willing to take this risk.

Tian Baozi is a grassroots bandit, so send him there, and he might sell Heiyun Mountain.

Li Yue was really worried about his safety.

Although he became the head of the village, the factions on the mountain are complicated. Without Cui Jin's support and secret cooperation, many things would be difficult to carry out.

Cui Jin said solemnly: "I don't have time to think about it. Jie Nu suffered a disastrous defeat and must take revenge. Heiyun Mountain should seize every opportunity to grow stronger! It would be best for Xuanyuan Mountain to be an ally. If not, the village master will lead troops to attack in the future. It can be used internally!"

Seeing that he was determined to go, Li Yue could only nod his head, "Brother must pay attention to safety, Xuanyuan Mountain doesn't matter, but brother must not lose anything!"

A trace of warmth flashed across Cui Jin's eyes, "The village master can rest assured."

Wei Shan said: "If there is something to do, report the name of our begging army, forgive him Xuanyuanshan for not daring to mess around!"
