Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 384
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the crops in the fields are growing vigorously.

Officers and soldiers of the Black Cloud Army continued to gather from the east.

The Yewang camp is located on the side of Qinshui River and stretches for three or four miles.

Li Yue led his troops to the Yewang to spy on Shangdang. At the same time, Murong Ke also restrained his troops at Huguan City and did not attack.

Zhang Ping relied on the passes and fortresses in all directions of Shangdang.

For Li Yue, Bingzhou can be ignored for the time being, but Shangdang must be in his hands.

Tens of thousands of Heiyun troops were blocked in the south of Shangdang. Zhang Ping could not turn a blind eye and sent an envoy again to persuade Li Yue to attack Xiangguo, which was empty of troops, to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and to relieve the siege of Shangdang.

If Zhang Ping is a reliable ally like Yao Xiang, Li Yue will naturally spare no effort.

But this guy has always had ulterior motives.

This time I saved him, but next time I might turn against him.

"King Chen Bingye, what is the intention of Lord Zhang to block Tianjing Pass and block the way?" Li Yue looked at the envoy teasingly.

"Uh... Sir Zhang... I have absolutely no other intention... Your Highness is going north at this time, so there is some inconvenience..." the envoy explained forcefully.

"What's the inconvenience? You go back and report to Zhang Ping. Now that you have submitted to Daliang, you will be rewarded with a title. If the delay continues, don't blame Gu for being unkind."

From any angle, Zhang Ping has reached the end of his rope and has become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Even if the Yan and Liang armies retreat, what will happen to Shangdang County?
But Zhang Ping definitely wouldn't think so.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gets a profit, and everyone wants to be a fisherman, but they don't realize that when the snipe and the clam don't fight, the fisherman has to balance the strength of the two.

"I...will definitely tell you..."

The messenger left in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the Huainan army has arrived." Cui Hong reported.

"Come out of the camp to greet us!" Li Yue was in high spirits. Gao Yun and Yao Xiang returned with their army, and the number of the wild king Liang's army increased to [-].

The military strength is no longer weaker than that of the Yan army.

Although the Yan army has 10,000+ troops, it needs to be divided into various locations to guard against Tuoba Shi Yijian behind them.

After this battle, the two sides have become at odds with each other.

Murong eats meat, Tuoba Shi Yijian doesn't even have to drink soup, anyone else would feel resentful.

Li Yue led his soldiers out of the camp to greet him.

From a distance, I saw two groups of people approaching.

The Qiang cavalry on the left stepped forward and got ahead of the Black Cloud Army.

The Heiyun Army naturally did not want to let the Qiang people outshine the limelight, so they accelerated their pace and caught up. The scene was a bit chaotic, as if two children who had been away from home for a long time were vying for favor after seeing their parents.

Although Li Yue greeted Yao Xiang courteously, the soldiers below still held their breath.

Not to mention the Qiang people, even the internal Zhenjun is not so harmonious...

"Lai's army was brave and brave. Fortunately, I lived up to my command. I and General Gao defeated the Jin army and captured Huainan!" Yao Xiang has been called a frequently defeated general in recent years, and he finally let out a bad breath on Jiangdong, and his face was full of spring breeze.

However, these words made Gao Yun, Liu Laozhi, Zhuge Kan and others dissatisfied.

It seems that Yao Xiang's Qiang Cavalry played a major role in this battle.

Liu Laozhi snorted directly.

Gao Yun's eyes flickered slightly and returned to normal.

"General Yao is brave, and he is as brave as Sun Bofu." Others often praised him as Sun Ce, and Li Yue said it casually.

Yao Xiang was smiling, but Quan Yi next to him had a serious look on his face. His eyes flickered from Li Yue's face and he changed the topic, "I heard that King Liang wants to invade Hedong?"

As expected of Yao Xiang's mastermind, he could see the key to the problem at a glance.

"Murong Chui's [-] troops are stationed in Taiyuan and ordered Duan Kwan to capture the east of the river. If our army does not leave, it will fall into the hands of the Yan people." Cui Hong stood up quickly and said.

"The people of Hedong have always admired Governor Yao and his son, and hope that King Liang can fulfill their wishes." Quan Yi said very euphemistically.Hedong is the springboard to attack Guanzhong. The land is fertile and has the advantage of salt ponds. Yao Xiang is bound to win it. If he wins this place, he can recruit the tribes of Bingzhou. After two years of cultivation, he will have the confidence to attack Guanzhong.

And Di Qin was the new master who succeeded to the throne. Fu Sheng killed Tuogu's ministers as soon as he came up. People's hearts were shocked and the powerful chieftains were very dissatisfied.

This gave Yao Xiang a glimmer of hope.

"What do you think of Governor Yao?" Li Yue looked at Yao Xiang, but he was not optimistic about him. Personally, he felt that Yao Xiang was praised too highly. He had great ambitions but few talents. Guanzhong was not that easy to fight. Although Fu Hong, Fu Xiong, and Fu Jian died one after another Although there are many characters in the Fu family, there are many characters emerging one after another.

There were two people among the ten thousand enemies, Fu Sheng and Fu Fei, and there were many others who were brave and good at fighting, both civil and military.

Except for Yao Xiang and Yao Chang, there are few figures in the Yao family who can compare with the Fu family.

Yao Xiang pondered for a while and then said: "To be honest with the King of Liang, the Yao family's ancestors lived in Qinzhou. My father said before he left that he must defeat the Fu family, avenge Fangtou, and bring the Yao family's descendants back to their hometown!"

"I understand." Li Yue appreciated his sincerity.

There is no need to be secretive at this time.

Quan Yi said cautiously: "Your Highness, please bear with me."

The tent suddenly became quiet. Liu Laozhi and Zhuge Kan pressed their hands on the hilts of their knives without hesitation, looking evilly in their eyes.

Yao Xiang's move was almost like grabbing food from the tiger's mouth.

The atmosphere is also getting tense.

"Yao Xiang obeyed the order and led his army to the west. Gao Yun led the [-] Heiyun Army behind the scenes to assist Governor Yao in regaining Hedong." Li Yue originally wanted to persuade Yao Xiang to stay in Luoyang and forget about it. An Xin could become a subordinate and be granted a county in the future. male.

But everyone has his own ambitions, and the melon that is forced is not sweet.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yao Xiang and Quan Yi's voices were so excited that they trembled.

The Heiyun Army had clear rewards and punishments. When Murong went south, Yao Xiang strongly supported him and actively sent troops to assist the Liang State. Later, Jiangdong besieged Shouchun. Yao Xiang assisted Jia Jian and Gao Yun in defeating Jiangdong and sweeping Huainan.

People respect me one foot, and I pay back ten feet.

Li Yue paid off the favors he owed in the past.

From a strategic point of view, it would be good for Yao Xiang to station in Hedong. Sandwiched between the Fu family and the Murong family, he became a shield for Liang Guo.

Liang Guo's energy can be concentrated on Hebei, and there is no need to get caught up in the pull with the Fu family and the Murong family.

With the ground-level sun-salted salt, the Hedong Salt Pond is of little significance.

The two happily went down to prepare.

However, Liu Laozhi knelt down on one knee and said, "The wealth in the east of the river belongs to me, Daliang. How can I hand it over to others?"

"Bold." Gao Yun scolded.

"My subordinates spoke nonsense, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Liu Laozhi was quite upright and seemed to have some big opinions on Yao Xiang.

"What do you think?" Li Yue looked at Gao Yun.

Gao Yun said: "Yao Xiang's ambition is in Guanzhong, but the Fu family has already established a foothold. Even if Yao Xiang attacks Guanzhong, it will be difficult to achieve success. This person can be used as a minion to contain the Fu family and disrupt Guanzhong. After His Highness destroys Yan, Guanzhong will Our strength is greatly damaged, but our army can easily regain Sanqin!"

"Wonderful!" Li Yue applauded with high fives.

After leading the army to attack Huainan alone, he really made great progress.

After so many years of training and selection, the new generation of generals is also thriving.

Yao Xiang is a very good chess piece. If he plays it in Hedong, there will be unexpected gains in the future.

When fighting for the world, one cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one place.

Cui Hong on the side looked at Gao Yun with complicated eyes. They are all young people and they are inevitably competitive.

Li Yue said: "I can safely entrust you with the affairs of Hedong!"

"I will fulfill my mission!" Gao Yun bowed his hand.
