Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 92 to make
Cao Kan led more than a thousand soldiers into Gong County, but Luoyang did not respond.

If Heiyunshan can defeat Zhang Yu, the governor of Yuzhou, then Liu Guo, the governor of Luozhou, will have to weigh it up.

In this plague, Yiluo was the hardest-hit area, Luoyang was densely populated, and the casualties were not small, and it has not recovered until now.

Gong County is connected with Heiyun Mountain, high in the east and low in the west. It can also be regarded as the outpost of Heiyun Mountain extending to the Luoyang Basin.

In addition to Gong County, several plains in the Sishui, Suoshui, and Weishui basins have basically become the jurisdiction of Heiyun Mountain.

The land to the west of Jing County was directly given up by the county magistrate Han Xu, and they don't need so much land given their current population.

On the last day of the old year, a heavy snow came late.

It has been snowing heavily for several days in a row, wrapping the devastated Central Plains in plain silver.

The rivers began to freeze, and the snow on the mountain roads touched knees.

The temperature plummeted, the mountains were colder than the plains, and the cold wind seemed to be able to blow away human bones, freezing to death nearly a hundred livestock, three cows, more than 20 wild donkeys, more than 50 pigs and sheep, and thirteen horses were also frozen to death .

More than 50 old and weak people failed to carry it through.

When a few young men got up at night, they were frozen into ice sculptures and stood directly outside the house.

With tens of thousands of people, it is naturally impossible to take care of all aspects, and many people don't even have straw clothes.

The people who died of freezing were either accidental or physically weak.

Fortunately, a lot of briquettes and dry firewood were stored on the mountain, so that there would not be a large number of people who were frozen to death.

The Central Plains lacks salt, but coal mines are inexhaustible.

The heavy snow is not all a bad thing. In such a cold day, there is no need to worry about the army from Yecheng coming to attack, and there will be no large-scale locust plague next year.

It is rare for soldiers to rest for a few days and get together with their families.

Only the scouts were still busy, patrolling up and down the mountain, delivering news to various docks.

Eleven small and medium-sized docks were built near Heiyun Mountain, all of which were stuck in the throat, either at the mountain pass, or at the mouth of the river, ferry, connected to the camp, and sheltered the fields behind.

Snow is also a good time for hunting. Once the heavy snow stops, you can find the old nest of the prey based on the footprints on the snow.

In the past few days, the number of prey sent up the mountain has doubled compared with usual.

There are more than a dozen tigers, and there are countless leopards, wild wolves, lynxes, and wild foxes.

There are fewer people, these things are everywhere, and they are hungry, so they directly attack the village.

"Report to the general, a herd of horses has been found in the northwest!" The scout came to report happily.

Li Yue was taken aback, what was really lacking, cavalry had always been a weakness on the mountain, if there were two or three hundred real cavalry in the Xuanyuan Mountain battle that day, Zhang Yu wouldn't be able to escape.

"What are you waiting for, get them all back! As much as you want!"

But the scout looked distressed, "Reporting to the general, the woodland in the northwest is a pasture owned by Shihu, guarded by Jie slaves."

Xin Can clasped his hands and said: "The general doesn't know something. The tyrant Shihu is very fond of hunting and often makes his sons compete. Yangdu from Lingchangjin south to the east of Xingyang is his hunting ground. A censor is set up to guard him. He even ordered If he dares to hurt his livestock, he shall be punished with death!"

Wild beasts ate people without any punishment, and people who injured wild animals had to suffer torture such as beheading in half and splitting into pieces.

"Since it belongs to the Shi family, you don't have to be polite. Get back as many as you can, and keep it secret. In the future, the scouts will set up a hunting team specially. If there are beasts to hunt beasts, if there are no beasts, they will hunt Jienu!"

You don't have to be polite with Jie people, there are so many prey in such a large hunting ground.

People are poor and crazy, so who cares who owns the hunting ground?

"Follow the order!" The scout cupped his hands.

"General, there are people coming from Yecheng." Zhang Shengye came in to report.

Li Yue was taken aback for a moment, just as he was about to poach Jie Zhao's corner, Jie Zhao sent someone here?
However, there are still people coming under such a heavy snow, which means that the matter is more urgent. Li Yue became curious, "See you."

After a while, the guard led one person in, and the follower stayed outside.

Li Yue looked at the visitor. He was young, about forty years old, with a gentle appearance. He wore a black rattan hat, a sheepskin cloak with narrow sleeves on the right lap, black cloth around his waist, and boots. He was dressed like a barbarian , also has a bit of the unique temperament of the northern scholars.

"Chang Wei, I have met the village master."

As soon as he exited, he only reported his name, not his official position, which made Li Yue a little confused.

If you are from the Jie Zhao sect, you don't have to be so cautious. If you are from the Li Nong sect, you should first learn about Bo Wu's connections.

"Are you from Jin? Are you from Jie?" Li Yue also tried.

"I don't know the village master, the Jin people? The Jie people?" This person looked difficult to deal with, and asked back without showing any weakness.

But looking at his eyes, there doesn't seem to be much hostility, nor is there any arrogance.

"I am the man of the Han family." Li Yuelang said.

Liu Yuan created a Han country in the north, so the North is rarely called Han people, but there will be no ambiguity among Han men.

Chang Wei's eyes moved, "Does the village master think that with a hundred miles of Heiyun mountain area, [-] to [-] impoverished people, and [-] to [-] weak soldiers, can he compete with Zhao? Accept it when you see it, as long as the village master nods, you can be General Zhaoyi, rich and powerful, nothing to worry about."

Sure enough, a lobbyist.

"Oh? Is there such a good thing? The Jie people won't make me a general for nothing, right?" Li Yue joked.

The banner of "Get rid of Jienu and restore our country" has been raised on the mountain. Now surrender to Jiezhao, what's the matter?

"The general entered the court to listen to it, and the subordinates moved to Guangzong."

"Absolutely not! Jienu is a wolf with ambition, the general will die if he goes to Yecheng!" Xin Can who was on the side was anxious.

Chang Wei smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. Li Sikong personally guarantees that he will not hurt the village master."

Xin Can blushed, "General!"

Li Yue waved his hand, telling him to calm down, he is still so impatient at such a young age, negotiating is like doing business, he asks for a lot of money and pays back the money, and he doesn't reveal the real details, just a test, Xin Can But he was in a hurry, no wonder he messed up several missions.

Although I don't know what happened in Yecheng, at least for now, I have an advantage.

If it was ten years ago, Yecheng could have destroyed Heiyun Mountain by raising its hand.

But today is different. In the past ten years, Jie Zhao has been defeated repeatedly, morale is low, surrounded by powerful enemies, and they are watching.

Of course, Jie Zhao can destroy Heiyun Mountain, but the price will not be small. Zhang Yu's [-] army was defeated, and Yecheng's army was at least [-]. Get into the mountains to be a savage.

The Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan and the Taishan bandit Zang Ba at the end of the Han Dynasty all used this method, and it is difficult to solve it by force alone.

"Hey, Sikong is too underestimated."

"Oh, could it be that the village master has great ambitions?" Chang Wei looked serious.

At this moment, Zhang Shengye reported outside the house: "General, someone from Yecheng is here again!"

Li Yue glanced at Chang Wei, and suddenly found that things became interesting.

Jie Zhao is by no means monolithic.
