Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 91 Chaos

Li Yue stopped in his tracks, he was so desperate, he must be the first to die.

If the Sima family was a dynasty like the Han and Tang Dynasties, it would be fine for Li Yue to be smashed to pieces, but what kind of thing is the Sima family, worthy of his life?

In the battle of Xuanyuan Mountain, it was fine if they didn't mediate, and sold Heiyun Mountain to Zhang Yu...

Even if they take Luoyang by themselves, what the Sima family thinks is not support, but how to hold back.

Zu Ti, Li Ju, and Zu Yue are all lessons learned from the past.

Only an old nerd like Xin Can would be so attached to the Sima family.

"Seeing off the guests." Li Yue was suddenly displeased.

Thought reform in Heiyunshan is in full swing, not only for Jie Nu, but also for the Sima family.

But Xin Can seems hard to change.

After walking a few steps, my heart moved. Although it is unrealistic to attack Luoyang, it seems feasible to occupy more territory.

In the last plague, Gong County was wiped out, Jing County suffered heavy casualties, and there were no lands everywhere.

Now that the Zheng family has cast an olive branch, the situation around Heiyun Mountain is very good.

Anyway, these areas are vacant and empty. The city may not be needed, but the cultivated land can be fully operated.

Otherwise, what would the [-] to [-] mouths eat and drink on the mountain?
Food is the biggest hard currency in this era.

The biggest problem in the north is not land annexation, but underpopulation, desolation everywhere, wild animals everywhere, and a lot of barren fields waiting to be cultivated.

Li Yue summoned Cao Kan overnight and asked him to lead [-] soldiers and [-] people from the medical battalion to go north to collect the corpses in Gong County, and let him see the wind first.

If Luoyang sends troops, it will retreat.

If you are indifferent, build docks and camps on the spot to prepare for next year's spring plowing.

The night was getting darker and darker, covering the Black Cloud Mountain.

But the Tongque Terrace in Yecheng is brightly lit. The 27-foot-high pavilion looks like a giant beast squatting on the ground, overlooking the mountains and rivers in Hebei.

In the hall, candles are piled up on the upper plate of the courtyard more than ten feet high, and the graceful dancers on the lower plate are twisting their waists.

In Xiaoya of the Book of Songs, there is an article "Ting Liao": How is the night?The night is still young, the light of the courtyard burns.The gentleman will stop, and the sound of Luan will...

Its meaning is the scene of the early court, praising the king for his diligence in government affairs, but for the Jiezhao court, these are just tools for pleasure.

In the third year of Jianwu, the ministers persuaded Shihu to take the honorary title. At this time, the candle oil on the court burned to the lower plate, scalding more than 20 people to death. Shihu was furious, thinking that God would not let him enter the throne Zuo Xiao, who built the courtyard, ordered Cheng Gongduan.

Today, Shi Hu is no longer interested in enjoying singing and dancing, tasting fine wine, and ravaging beauties. His obese body is hard to stand up, and every time the palace people use a bed to carry it.

"Everyone back down, back down!" Shi Hu waved his hands irritably.

He attacked Liangzhou three times and lost three times. Jie Zhao's prestige was lost, and the territory began to move around.

Ma Xu, a member of Shiping, gathered [-] men, proclaimed himself a general, and attacked the city of Longyou.

Zhao Yu, a native of Dai County, gathered more than three hundred households and openly took refuge in Yan.

Tian Guang from Donglai led more than a thousand pirates to invade the cities of Qingzhou and plunder the population.

Also in Xingyang, the Heiyun bandits gathered tens of thousands of people and defeated Zhang Yu, governor of Yuzhou...

This is a very dangerous signal, Shi Hu naturally does not take them seriously, however, if Wubao and Haoqiang in the North take advantage of the situation, it will be a fatal blow to Jie Zhao.

"I heard that the Heiyun thief is your beggar army?" Shi Hu looked at Li Nong beside him.

Everyone in the hall raised their ears.

Shi Xuan cast a gloating look, since Li Nong is not one of his own, he might become an enemy, first suppress him, and frighten the Han officials who are unwilling to cooperate.

Li Nong did not deny it, "Reporting to the Heavenly King, the Black Cloud Bandit and the Begging Army do have a lot of connections."

"So, you can't control them?" Shi Hu's eyes were a little cold.

"Your servant...you can restrain him." With a light touch of his eyes, Li Nong lowered himself.

The hall was extremely quiet, except for the cold wind outside the hall.

After a long time, Shi Hu said quietly: "Then hurry up, Xingyang is the place of the heart, and there must be no chaos."

Li Nong's heart sank. He has been a ruler and minister for decades. He knows Shi Hu's character very well. If he gets angry on the spot, it means that the problem is not serious. He can just be reprimanded.

If he can't restrain Heiyun Mountain, his Sikong will come to an end.

Attacking Heiyun Mountain by force will make other beggars feel cold. Will these beggars still listen to his orders in the future?
Bo Wu has nothing else, he is very popular in the beggar army, and his seniority is also high, attacking him will lose the hearts of the people.

Heiyun Mountain has become powerful, in case of defeat...

Li Nong shuddered.

Shi Xuan's face on the side was a little gloomy, feeling that Shi Hu was old after all, and became soft-hearted. Ma Qiu was defeated three times without any punishment. Li Nong couldn't control the begging army, and it was of no use. ...

"I'm getting old..." Shi Xuan had a strange light in his eyes.

The strong of the Jie tribe are respected, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, everyone knows how Shihu came to the top.

And the tragic death of the previous prince, Shi Sui, put even more pressure on Shi Xuan.

Holding more than ten thousand Gaoli guards in his hands, it also made Shi Xuan's heart feel hot.

"Heavenly King, Heiyun Mountain and Shiping are minor troubles. One general is enough to calm them down. Qingzhou pirates are like trees without roots. They can be appeased. They can spy on them secretly. They are lured and killed with high-ranking officials and rich salary. Zhang Yuyi, the governor of Yuzhou Yu Jiangdong secretly communicated the song. This defeat is also a blow to Jiangdong. Jin people are killing each other, which is beneficial to our great Zhao. Only Daijun Zhao Yu is a big problem. , there will never be peace in the north.”

On such an occasion, Shi Tao, who is Jie Zhao's number three figure, naturally cannot remain silent, and Yan Guo has already become Jie Zhao's sworn enemy.

In addition to stealing the limelight, it is also to win over Li Nong.

Heiyunshan was able to defeat Gao Li's imperial guards, which made Shi Xuan suffer, so he was the target of Shi Tao's wooing.

Sure enough, Li Nong cast a grateful look at Shi Tao.

As soon as Shi Hu heard Shi Tao's voice, he became kind-hearted, "Haha, what my son said is true, the fourth brother will deal with the Shiping thief, and you will deal with the Daijun thief yourself."

The fourth son of Shihu, Leping Wang Shibao, stationed troops in Chang'an and guarded Guanyou. He recruited tens of thousands of civilians in Chang'an to build large-scale construction projects and palaces, which also caused anger and resentment.

"My son takes orders!" Shi Tao knelt down obediently on one knee, and glanced at Shi Xuan provocatively.

Just ten days ago, another round of conflict broke out between the two.

Shi Tao built the Xuanguang Hall in Taiwei's Mansion, the beams of which were nine feet long, longer than the beams of the East Palace.

The word Xuanguang also refers directly to Shi Xuan.

When Shi Xuan heard the news, he was furious, and led Gao Li's imperial guards to the Taiwei's mansion, beheaded all the craftsmen and cut off the beams.

But Shi Tao was unmoved. After Shi Xuan left, he rebuilt the Xuanguang Hall, and the beams were increased to ten feet.

All kinds of behaviors completely ignore the prince.

However, Shi Hu knew that the two were becoming more and more incompatible with each other, and had reached the point where swords were on the verge of breaking out, but he continued to connive. This was undoubtedly encouraging Shi Tao.
