Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 173 Promise
When Ran Min returned to Zhao Jun's camp, Shi Zun led a group of generals out of the tent to greet him personally, "If you go here, you will surely succeed."

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" Ran Min cupped his hands.

"Hmph, according to Lao Qiang's opinion, why compromise with the Heiyun bandits? You can use the pretense of withdrawing troops to attack them halfway, and put an end to this disaster for the country in one fell swoop!" Yao Yizhong was very dissatisfied with Shi Zun's behavior.

At present, 6 horses are gathered in the camp, which is enough to fight against the Heiyun army.

But Shi Zun shook his head, "It's a matter of priority, Zhang Jackal's misfortune is a serious problem for his confidantes, if I don't get rid of him, he will plot against me! It's not too late to pay attention to them after the internal troubles are cut off!"

The Heiyun army seems to be powerful, but in fact it is only three counties.

Xingyang is still half, Chen Liuzao was slaughtered by Shi Bin, Jiyin County was forced by the bandits and had to surrender.

Heiyun Mountain still has a long way to go, and the population under its rule is only about 15 at best.

And once Shi Zun entered the city of Ye and controlled the situation, with hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of people, it was clear at a glance which was more important.

Jie Zhao's ruling core is all in Jizhou, not Xingyang and Chenliu.

In fact, Shi Zun had a good impression of Hei Yunjun in his heart. After all, his biggest competitor, Shi Bin, was killed by Li Yue, which relieved Shi Zun of his worries.

"Your Highness is wise!" All the Capricorn generals complimented each other.

Shi Zun was full of vigor, waiting for this day for many years, and finally got his wish today, with a wave of his hand, "Don't wait for tomorrow, immediately rise up and attack Yecheng!"

"Follow the order!" The generals bowed their hands.

Three hours later, drums and horns sounded in unison in the battalion, Yao Yizhong was on the right, Pu Hong was on the left, and Ran Min was in the middle. The [-] army was mighty and mighty, sweeping northward like a dark cloud.

As soon as Zhao Jun heard that it was not a decisive battle with the Heiyun Army, he cheered up and even stepped up, causing the ground to rumble.

Shi Zun rode on the horse, felt the morale of the surroundings was like a rainbow, his spirits were lifted, he was so excited, he couldn't stop laughing, and said to Ran Min beside him: "Work hard, everything will come true, I should regard you as the prince!"

Ran Min's whole body was shocked, and he looked at Shi Zun.

Shi Zun was still in high spirits, "It's done, I'll make you the crown prince!"

Ran Min nodded heavily, but his eyes were as bright as the evening glow...

Looking at Zhao Jun who was leaving, Li Yue was relieved. It didn't feel good to be blocked at the door of his house.

After much deliberation, it is still the best way to make people go north, to remind Zhang Jackal and let him take precautions early.

The city of Yecheng was high and deep. During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan’s famous general Shenpei once resisted Wei Wu’s tens of thousands of troops for half a year. Half of the people in the city starved to death. Authentic, cooperating with traitors inside and outside, etc., were all resolved one by one by the trial and match. In the end, it was his nephew who surrendered and opened the city to lure Cao's army into the city, which was the only way to capture Yecheng.

Now Yecheng has been repeatedly reinforced by stone tigers, with a population of one million in the surrounding area, and food, grass, and military equipment in the city are piled up like mountains.

Zhang Jackal has fought all his life, a veteran general for decades, it will definitely not be a problem for him to survive for a year or so.

The continuation of civil strife in Jiezhao is in the best interests of Heiyun Mountain, and also in the interests of Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, Ran Min and others.

In the sunset, Li Yue walked slowly into Zhao Jun's camp surrounded by a group of personal guards.

Shi Zun left in a hurry, pots and pans in the camp were scattered all over the ground, and many tents were too late to evacuate.

Ran Min said it was [-] stone grain, and after counting it, there were more than [-], and there were also various discarded broken spears and knives, all over the place.

Naturally, the Black Cloud Army didn't like these things, but the Southern Army was extremely excited, picking up what they saw, and their bodies were covered with things.

The Hu people like to eat cattle and sheep, and there are more than 3000 livestock in the pen, too late to take away.

"General, how to deal with the prisoners in the camp?" Hu Yanhei came to report.

"Why ask, all Jie people will be beheaded!" said Yang Lue beside him.

Zhang Zhuer also nodded in agreement.

For two days, there were rioters in the north, and their hatred for the Jie people was as deep as the sea.

Hu Yanhei hesitated for a while, "The captives are not Jie people."

"Not a Jie person?" Li Yue became interested and followed Hu Yanhei to check.

Behind the fence was full of people, men and women, old and young, but there were not many Jie people with high eyes and high noses, all of them were from the Central Plains.

As soon as Li Yue saw their faces, he knew what was going on.

Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong used the excuse of exterminating the remnants of the rebels, but what they did was to plunder the people of the Central Plains.

The real Jieren either fled back to Hebei, or were recruited by Shi Zun, otherwise, in just one or two months, Shi Zun's army would not have expanded so quickly.

Behind the fence, more than 1 people crowded together like livestock, and countless pairs of numb eyes surrendered to Li Yue.

An inexplicable emotion gathered.

The rise of any foreign power in this era is almost based on the blood and tears of the Chinese people.

"Open the gate of the village, cook some hot porridge, and send it back to Chenliu for resettlement." Li Yue sighed inwardly.

"Thank you, General!" The person at the front immediately fell to the ground when he heard this.

The people behind didn't care what happened, and knelt down together, as if the crops in the field fell one by one when they encountered a strong wind.

Anger rose in Li Yue's heart instantly, "Don't kneel!"

Hu Yanhei, Yang Lue, and Zhang Zhuer who were beside him were all shocked by this shout.

The crowd was overwhelmed with fright.

"When the Huns come, you kneel, and when the Jie people come, you also kneel. Can't you stand up and point them at them with a knife?" Li Yue said loudly.

But no matter how loud the sound is, not many people hear it.

But after shouting, I feel helpless again, the world has fallen to this point, can they be blamed?

In this era, there is no righteousness for the people and the clan at all, and the Sima family may not treat them much better than other races.

The resistance has never stopped since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Cao Wei's Guangling Xuezhou Uprising (Jian'an Early), Lujiang Chen Ce Uprising (Jian'an Early), Changguang Min Uprising (Jian'an 17th year), Guanzhong Liuxiong Uprising (Jian'an 20th year), Tuntian Kelu Bing Uprising (Jian'an 23th year) , Nanyang Minhou Yin Uprising (Jian'an 24 years); Lu Hun Sun Lang Uprising in response to Guan Yu's Northern Expedition (Jian'an [-] years)...

In Sima Jin, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were changes in Qinliang and Guanzhong rebellion. Later, Wang Ru of Yongzhou, Liu Bergen of Qingzhou, Wang Mi, Du Tao of Shuzhong, etc., resisted time and time again and were suppressed time and time again.

After Shihu usurped the throne, the resistance in various places never stopped, but they were massacred again and again.

There is no shortage of blood in this era, it's just that the Sima family's monarchs dragged Huaxia to be buried with them for their desire for power.

"Get up, get up!" Li Yue shouted loudly.

The guards rushed into the crowd, shouting and pulling people away.

The crowd stood up, their eyes still numb and empty, and it wasn't until they ate a bowl of porridge that there was life in their eyes.

After venting their emotions a little, they regained their composure. The morale of the people and the clan was stepped to the bottom in one chaos after another, and restoring morale did not happen overnight.

No matter how many empty words you say, a bowl of porridge will not work, and it is not too late.

Li Yue asked Heiyun Army to send them into Chenliu City.
