Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 45
Except for a thousand scouts, almost everyone was working hard.

With iron farm tools and livestock, the efficiency has been greatly increased. In more than ten days, the Sishui Plain has been reclaimed in sevens and eighties, and Li Yue has an additional [-] mu of high-quality land.

After working on the Sishui Plain, Li Yue led his scouts to clean up Hujuchuan.

With fewer people, there are more beasts, and Lin Chuan has more primitive characteristics.

I didn't see the tiger, but I saw a lot of wild deer and wild goats. When I explored the depths, I found a herd of wild donkeys with a size of a thousand horses.

Looking at the beasts everywhere in the middle of Sichuan, Li Yue's heart moved, "There is no need to cultivate here, it will be our pasture!"

To the north of Jijiabao, there is still a lot of wasteland upstream of the Sishui River, and the same goes for reclaiming there.

Without oil and water, the consumption of food is too great.

It is rare that there is such a precious land near Heiyun Mountain. It has been completely bulldozed and turned into arable land, which is a bit of a waste of money.

Originally, there were many wild beasts near Heiyun Mountain, but they were hunted too much, and all of them fled into the deep mountains.

Li Yue learned his lesson and kept going.

"General, Fangtou sent a thousand pairs of swords, spears, bows and arrows, Chen Liu sent ten sharp blades, and Zheng and Wang each sent five armors and ten horses in return." The scouts came from the north.

Li Yue asked: "Guangzong didn't respond?"

"No."

Human relations come and go.

Li Yue's original intention was to climb the line of the Qihuo army, but Guangzong didn't move, which made Li Yue a little uncertain what they meant.

This kind of thing can only be consulted with Bo Wu.

Li Yue then walked back to the castle with his people.

I feel that it is inconvenient to have no horses. It is troublesome to go back and forth, and the scouts' delivery of news is also affected. Now that there is food in Jijiabao, it is not a big problem to raise dozens of horses, but dozens of horses cannot meet the requirements.

Thinking of the herd of wild donkeys in Hujuchuan, Li Yue's heart moved, and he could barely use them after domesticating them.

Compared with horses, donkeys have many advantages. They are not so delicate. They start to graze fifty days after birth, which is easy to feed. They can also mate with horses to give birth to mules.

Thinking about it this way, it's not impossible to get a mule and donkey cavalry to survive...

The Central Plains is located in a plain and needs a mobile cavalry.

Back at Heiyun Mountain, Li Yue's straw sandals were all worn out, so he changed his clothes before going to Bo Wu.

This place is a famous scenic spot in later generations, suitable for retirement. Li Yue was busy with his life and death at the foot of the mountain, but Bo Wu was leisurely and leisurely, and gained a lot of weight.

"Supposedly Mr. Li wouldn't care about us." Bo Wu said, rubbing his double chin.

Li Yue thought for a while and said, "Would it be possible that we attacked Jijiabao and made too much noise, making Guangzong dissatisfied? In order to avoid suspicion, so hide us far away?"

Although they are both beggars, their styles are quite different.

The north of the Yellow River has long surrendered to Jie Zhao, which is a real beggar. The south of the Yellow River is where those who refused to surrender fled from Hebei.

After being defeated by Shi Le in Hanoi, Chen Liuqi's living commander Chen Wu fled to Chenliu.

Bo Wudao: "In addition to being too noisy, it's also too close to the Di people."

Li Yue was taken aback, didn't he say that Fu Hong had a good relationship with Li Nong?
Bo Wu said leisurely: "Fu Hong was deeply suspicious of Shihu, and his nephew was murdered for various crimes. Everyone in Di was in danger. In order not to be implicated, they naturally stayed away from them, so as not to be suspected by Shihu, Fangtou They didn't have any good intentions in pulling us to fight Jijiabao, they intended to provoke Shi Xuan and Li Gong, and break the muddy water towards us Han people."

Fighting Jijiabao was originally an internal matter of the begging army, but now that the people from Fangtou are involved, the nature has changed.

Just attacking a Wubao, there are so many doorways inside.

It's no wonder that the people in Fangtou are so polite to him, it turns out that they have been taking advantage of him.

"Why didn't uncle remind my nephew earlier?" Li Yue was a little depressed.

Bo Wu hiccupped, "I reminded you, don't you want to hit Jijiabao?"

Indeed, Jijiabao and Heiyun Mountain are in conflict.

From the perspective of Heiyun Mountain, Fangtou took the initiative to throw an olive branch, wouldn't he accept it himself?

Guangzong has the position of Guangzong, and Heiyun Mountain has the interests of Heiyun Mountain.

"This is just guesswork by the old man. No one knows what Guangzong thinks. Don't worry too much. They will go their way and we will go ours. If Shihu really comes here in the future, they will not show mercy!" Bo Wumi eyes.

Although people are drunk, their hearts are not.

Shihu is alive, and it is impossible for the begging army to come together.

"My nephew understands."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Yue resigned.

As Bo Wu said, what Guangzong thinks is Guangzong's business. The two sides have different positions.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, Fangtou is right in front of your eyes, and people come to your door on their own initiative, should you just ignore them?
Although it is used, it is also a win-win move.

After the reclamation of the Sishui Plain was completed, Zhou Qian led people to replant short-term crops such as beans and beans, and then led people to reclaim the wasteland north of the Sishui.

Hard work allowed the people of Jijiabao to quickly integrate into Heiyun Mountain.

Jijiabao has become a thing of the past, so Li Yue simply changed its name to Sishuibao.

In addition to reclamation, four small docks were also built on Heiyun Mountain, two on the West Mountain, one on the South Mountain, and one on the East Mountain, all of which guarded the dangerous points.

The cliffs of Beishan, unless you have wings, you can't go up at all, and there are beacons and watchtowers in Beishan, which are guarded day and night.

Along the various streams on the mountain, various vegetables were also planted.

Almost everyone is doing their best to survive without any complaints.

Even Li Yue was tanned. He farmed in the morning, hunted in the afternoon, rode a horse to inspect the bright and dark sentries in the evening, and told the soldiers about the old stories of the Qin and Han Dynasties in the evening to rebuild their national self-confidence.

At the same time, he didn't forget to mix some private goods, from the change of Gaoping Mausoleum to the murder of the king in the street, from the rebellion of the Eight Kings to the disaster of Yongjia, and told the soldiers one by one the scandal of the Sima family.

The soldiers gritted their teeth with hatred, "I understand why the world is in such chaos!"

"The Sima family is incompetent, that's why we are reduced to mere servants!"

"Is there a more shameless family than the Sima family in this world?"

"That's right, don't ask them to be as wise and powerful as the emperors of Qin and Han, at least they should be comparable to the emperors of Cao Wei..."

Soldiers, you are talking about each other.

The great dynasties in history basically had serious foreign aggression, the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Rouran in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc., but the Jin Dynasty faced the disintegrated Xianbei, the Sinicized Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan who was willing to be a thug , and Qiang Di who farmed honestly and paid rent.

As long as the Sima family is a bit human, it wouldn't be so miserable.

Let alone the Sima family's own misfortune, the key is to drag the entire northern people into the water together...

After telling the stories to the soldiers, Li Yue had to study military art until late at night.

Wei Liaozi, Sima Fa, and Wu Zi, every time they read it, they can deeply feel the wisdom of the predecessors.

Basically, the difficulties that Heiyunshan is currently encountering can find solutions in the book.

Li Yue knew that he was not a genius for using soldiers, so he worked very hard.

Although the days are busy, they are also very fulfilling.

Occasionally, when I buried my head in the bamboo slips, I would look up at the two big banners on the wall: Get rid of Jie slaves and restore my country.

When more and more people gather under these two banners, it is not just a slogan, but a belief of many people.
