Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 490 Fishing
"Back then on Black Cloud Mountain, Bo Wu and I were incompatible and had to leave. Fortunately, the Nantou court took me in under the guidance of the Xun family and helped me start a family. Now I have three sons and two daughters. Every time I think about the past, the only thing on my mind is Your Majesty... …”

Meng Kai's letter did not contain any intention of surrender, but only recalled the past.

But there is a hint of pessimism between the lines.

Li Yue could imagine his situation. With the status of "Beijing", how could he live a satisfactory life in Jiangdong, a place where nobles were numerous and people were particular about their origins?

However, he did have reasons for leaving Heiyun Mountain back then. On the one hand, the quarrel with Bo Wu became more and more stalemate, and on the other hand, Li Yue gradually revealed his unwillingness to be subordinated. Naturally, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he was caught in the middle.

The past was over. After Li Yue read it, he buried the letter under various documents and didn't take it seriously.

Compared with these personal affairs, Li Yue is now more concerned about the battle in front of him.

The fate of countless people was entangled in it. With every thought and word, countless passionate athletes died. As the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, Li Yue was responsible for his officers and soldiers and the people of the country, and there was no room for slacking off.

dong dong dong...

The war drums roared outside again.

Zhang Hao and Dou Feng each led thousands of soldiers to attack the enemy camp.

Li Yue walked out of the camp and looked at the battlefield. He saw two black clouds covering the sky and then falling. The antlers, trenches, and ground were instantly covered with long feathers.

Two heavily armored infantrymen held shields in one hand and large axes and maces in the other, slowly advancing towards the Jin camp.

On the opposite side, two groups of soldiers lined up behind the antlers, their spears looking fierce.

The two armies fought in the narrow and uneven fortifications.

Strategies are of no use at this time, as if two giants are wrestling with each other, relying solely on the bravery and bloodiness of the soldiers.

Bloody also means bloody.

In just one stick of incense, the battlefield was covered in blood. The Jin troops at the forefront had their foreheads split open with big axes and their ribs broken by maces. The black cloud warriors also had their armor pierced by condescending spears and lifted into the air. middle……

The Heiyun warriors were fearless and fearless. When the Jin army had a favorable location, they hid behind the antlers trench.

The two sides fought evenly.

After fighting fiercely for half an hour, the Black Cloud Army was still unable to break through the Jin Army's defense, so Li Yue ordered the troops to retreat.

This kind of fighting is meaningless. The Jin army is extremely determined to resist and would rather die than retreat. Behind them, there are more Jin troops waiting.

"If we drag it on, Huan Wen will lose!" Li Yue was not in a hurry.

Once Wang Meng breaks through Jingxiang, not only will Huan Wen be defeated, but the entire Jiangdong will face annihilation.

The two armies continued to confront each other.

Generals Gao Yun, Zhang Hao, Dou Feng, and Lu Guang took turns challenging him every day, but Huan Wen could not hold on.

Two or three days later, Meng Kai's letter came again.

It was almost the same as the previous one. He asked how Cui Jin was doing and how many of his old brothers were still alive...

More details like this.

"No, Huan Wen is very considerate and cautious. Meng Kai has a history with His Majesty, which is known to the whole world. How can a secret letter be sent so easily?" Yang Lue immediately realized something was wrong.

Meng Kai sent someone to deliver a letter. It may be a coincidence that the letters came one after another, which makes people think too much.

Who is Huan Wen?

Without two brushes, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

The Jin army's camp was so heavily guarded that not even a fly could fly out, let alone a letter.

"You mean this is the mastermind behind Huan Wen?" Li Yue felt a sense of sadness. Huan Wen just did everything he could, but Meng Kai actually cooperated with him. "Eight and nine are inseparable from ten. Jiangdong is accustomed to resorting to false surrender tactics. In the past, Huang Gai and Chibi deceived Duke Cao, and Zhou bream cut off his hair to gain Cao Xiu, both of which greatly defeated Cao's army."

After three days of recognition, Yang Lue has become more and more advanced in recent years.

Now that Huan Wen was losing ground, the only chance to turn defeat into victory was this strategy.

"Huan Wen made a false plan to surrender, so I will follow the trend." Li Yue regained his composure. This was an opportunity to defeat the enemy.

As long as Huan Wen comes out of the turtle shell, the Black Cloud Army will be able to defeat him openly in the field.

Li Yue immediately replied with a letter, "If you are not satisfied, brother, you may as well return to Liang and renew the relationship between brothers, family members and children. With the power of victory, I will ask for it from Jiangdong, and Jiangdong dare not refuse!"

Yang Lue put away the secret letter and retreated.

The letter was delivered, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement for a long time.

Li Yue even suspected that he was overthinking, but then he thought about it, Meng Kai wanted to defect to him, he had already defected to him, there was no need to wait until now.

With his unwillingness to give up until he hits the wall, he will never look back at this time.

Moreover, the letter also said that Xun Xian treated him well. He married his daughter as a concubine and gave birth to three sons and two daughters.

But Xun Xian died under the black cloud saber, and this hatred was different from that of Dai Tian.

Meng Kai's letter was not answered, but Wang Meng from the west received a letter. Huan Chong and Zhu Xu retreated again and again, abandoning Xinye, Caiyang, Shandu, and Deng County in the north of the Yangtze River, and concentrated their forces to defend Fancheng.

Fancheng and Xiangyang faced each other on both sides of the Han River, and with the help of the Jingzhou navy, it was difficult to step into the south of the Han River for a while, so Xu Cheng could only lead a partial army to attack Xincheng and Shangyong counties.

Li Yue smiled after reading the letter. This was not the only time Wang Meng had boasted. Last year, during the decisive battle between Liang Yan and Li Yue, he kept saying he wanted to capture Murong Chui alive. However, Murong Chui was as slippery as a loach and did not accept the move. He retreated to Jinyang. So far, happy and free...

Li Yue didn't know what Huan Chong's abilities were, but Zhu Xu had fought alongside him in the past and was brave and resourceful. He was a veteran general. After Wancheng fell, he burned down his treasury, quickly abandoned Jiangbei, and returned to defend Jingxiang. , extremely far-sighted.

Huan Wen had been running Jingxiang for more than ten years. He used the Han River as a natural chasm and took advantage of the water army. Wang Meng wanted to conquer Jingxiang with only 5 people. The difficulty was not ordinary.

However, he gave up when he saw the opportunity and was not dazzled by the victory. Li Yue was still quite pleased.

As a result, the East Road battlefield can only rely on itself.

It happened that at this time, the army was a little short of food, so the soldiers ate a mixture of vegetables, bean sprouts, dried fish, beef and mutton.

But Chang Wei's next wave of grain ships was already floating in the canal. As expected, this batch of grain was borrowed from the Cui, Liu, Zheng and other wealthy families. It was enough to support an army of [-] for a month.

At the end of the road, there are still tens of thousands of horses in the camp.

The ruthless people these days are hungry and will eat anything, let alone war horses.

Li Yue's heart moved, "You can spread rumors to the Jin army's camp that our army is short of food!"

Huan Wen made a false plan to surrender, and Li Yue deceived him.

"I think it's impossible. There are many people in the Jin army. If our army does this deliberately, it will arouse their vigilance! It's better to hold on and not come out. The Jin people will guess that our army is short of food!" Yang Lue presided over the detailed affairs, but his mind was not delicate. It will never happen.

"Great kindness!" Li Yue was delighted. In a few years, Yang Lue had become a unique talent with unlimited future.

The founding monarchs in history were certainly not born with so many capable ministers and generals around them, but were cultivated through continuous training.

Li Yue immediately ordered the entire army to stick to the camp, and no one except the scouts was allowed to leave the camp.

The two armies suddenly became quiet.

How do fishermen know that they are not the one being fished?
