Shi Min will definitely come, the key is where he comes from.

Surabaya is well defended. The barbarians in Zhao's army are not good at water, so the battle will definitely not happen here.

The terrain of Taishan County in the east is complex, making it difficult to raise troops.

The only possibility is to go to Jibei County in the northwest, pass through Rencheng, and attack Lu County in a roundabout way from the west.

"General, I'm very happy that Liu Qi of Dongjun is surrendering!" At this time, Zhang Shengye came to report.

Although he had expected it beforehand, when he heard the news, Li Yue felt a big stone fall in his heart. The biggest benefit of this war was in his pocket.

The land of Yanzhou was spared from the flames of war, and his Yanzhou Shepherd finally lived up to his name.

"How about Jibei, Taishan and Dongping?"

"Jibei and Dongping surrendered together, and the news from Taishan County has not yet spread."

"Order Xu Cheng to rush to Dongping Kingdom with 2,000 cavalry, and have more scouts conduct reconnaissance!"

"Wei!" Zhang Shengye handed over and left.

In an instant, the entire city of Lu and the camp outside roared with roars, "Long live, long live!"

The soldiers cheered like thunder, and they were even more surprised than Li Yue.

In more than two years, from a homeless bandit to today, how can the soldiers not be happy?

By swallowing Yanzhou, Heiyunshan took the first step in this troubled world.

The morale of the Black Cloud Army reached its peak instantly.

The enemy troops were still crossing the river, but after hearing the deafening roar, they retreated...

North bank of Surabaya.

Shi Minzheng and a group of Hu and Jin generals were looking at the Black Cloud Army on the other side.

The sudden cheers made them a little confused.

Zhang Wen said: "Liu Qi will definitely carry me on his back and return to Heiyun Mountain!"

A look of anger appeared on Shi Min's face. Dongjun was related to the victory or defeat of this battle. Shi Min had already promised that as long as Liu Qi was willing to help, he would not only forget about it, but also be promoted to Minister Zuopushe and be granted the title of Marquis of Yun.

Even if Liu Qi doesn't surrender to him, as long as he remains neutral, Shi Min will have the confidence to defeat the Black Cloud Army.

"Let me report carefully. A few days ago, thousands of Di troops from Fangtou joined the bandit army!" Wang Jian, who joined the army, changed the topic.

During the chaos in Hebei, more than 200,000 refugees went south, and more than 100,000 refugees wanted to return west. They all gathered in Fangtou and jointly recommended Pu Hong as the commander-in-chief.

These people are the people of various ethnic groups who were forcibly moved from Guanzhong by Shihu. They have lived in Hebei for seventeen years and are still attached to their hometown.

Now that Shi Hu is dead, the kings of Jie and Zhao are at war with each other. Seeing that Hebei is about to be in chaos, it is natural for people to return home.

The benefits gained by Fangtou are not under Black Cloud Mountain.

That's why Pu Hong did not hesitate to send troops to assist Heiyun Mountain and hold Shi Min back.

"Shi Cheng, the leader of the army, Shi Qi, the servant, and Shi Hui, the governor of Hedong, have had many contacts with His Majesty recently. The Xinxing King secretly colluded with Yao Yizhong in Xiang State. This battle should be done quickly rather than later, and cannot be delayed any longer." Zhang Wen said cautiously.

He was also a beggar general and had little interest in attacking the Black Cloud Army.

After so many days of confrontation, the Surabaya defense line remained motionless, but Zhao Jun was quite exhausted.

When Shi Hu was still alive, Shi Min once said: Pu Hong is so handsome that he can kill his soldiers, so he should be eliminated as soon as possible.

When Liangzhou was defeated, Shi Hu did not act rashly.

In fact, Shi Min was also very upset with Li Nong. It was Li Nong who started this war. While Li Yue was in Lu County, the northern and southern armies attacked him with great victory and solved the problem of Heiyun Mountain in one fell swoop.

Shi Min rushed over in a hurry, but Li Nong didn't even last ten days. The city was destroyed and people were captured alive.

Wang Jian said: "The Commander-in-Chief has a quarrel with Li Shijun, so we might as well stop fighting and make peace for the time being. I forgive my subordinates for speaking frankly. The Commander-in-Chief's trouble lies in the north, not the south."

Shi Min looked at the roaring Black Cloud Army, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "Even if we have to stop fighting and make peace, we still have to severely defeat the Black Cloud Army. Send an order, and 20,000 elite infantry and cavalry will follow me to meet them in person."

Know Li Xingjin!"

A heavy rain poured on both sides of the Surabaya River, making the river more turbulent.

The floating corpses crowded in the river were washed away by the water, and the bloody and rotten smell that towered into the sky became much lighter.

There is no doubt that this war has reached its most critical moment.

Liu Qi's surrender eliminated any suspense in this battle. With the support of the richest Dongjun in Yanzhou, the Heiyun Army could hold on for at least half a year, but Shi Min on the opposite side would definitely not be able to sustain it.

Based on Li Yue's understanding of Shi Min, he would definitely make a desperate move and strike with thunder!

"Report to the general that Taishan County surrenders!"

"Report to the general that Lieutenant Xu has settled in Dongping Country."

"Report to the general, let the city-state work carefully to report, Qi Min and Bei'an Shi Min have frequent contacts."

"Report to the general, yesterday at midnight, Shi Min personally led 20,000 elite infantry and cavalry to the west!"

The scouts sent their respective messages, which were almost as expected by Li Yue.

As soon as Shi Min's army arrived, Qi Min of the Rencheng State was in cahoots with him. Li Yue had heard about it for a long time. Dongjun did not surrender, and the Rencheng State was sandwiched between Lu County and Chenliu, posing a great threat.

But now that Liu Qi has surrendered, Renchengguo has become a turtle in the urn.

And Shi Min, really took action.

Xu Cheng has two thousand troops, but I'm afraid he is no match for him.

Without Shi Min, the north bank of Surabaya poses little threat to Lu County. Now that the river has surged, it is even more impossible to cross the river on the other side. "Call General Pu Xiong to send troops with me to help Dongping Country!"

"Wei!" The soldier hurriedly left.

Li Yue stared at the map and carefully thought about whether there were any mistakes or omissions.

If there is no battle but the temple is considered the winner, it must be counted as more. If there is no battle but the temple is not the winner, it must be counted as less. More is the winner, and less is the loser.

Many things on the battlefield are obvious.

20,000 elite troops were dispatched, and the scouts would not be mistaken. Even if Shi Min was not inside, eating this elite group would still seriously injure Shi Min.

The only troops he can really use are the 10,000 high-powered imperial guards and the more than 10,000 Guangzong begging troops. If these two elites are destroyed, I am afraid that Shi Min will never recover from the fall. Elites cannot be used casually.

Made it.

Gaoli's imperial guards and Guangzong's beggar army are veterans of the battlefield for many years.

Unknowingly, my eyes moved to one place, and my mind moved. Sometimes I should guard against it. Strategically, I can despise the enemy, but tactically, I must pay attention to it.

An hour later, 15,000 Heiyun troops and 3,000 Di troops headed northwest.

Lu County was left to Liang Xiao and Bo Wu to defend it.

The heavy rain made the roads muddy, rivers in various places overflowed, and wild fish washed up on the official roads, making marching very inconvenient.

But the difficulties are all the same. It's difficult on my side, but it's even harder on Shi Min's side.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The Di troops on the left wing were striding through the muddy water, carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment.

Pu Hong spent a lot of money this time, and the three thousand Di people were well-equipped, all wearing iron armor, half with bows and spears, and half with swords and shields.

Pu Xiong came from behind, followed by several Di generals. "Shi Min dominates with his cavalry. This heavy rain will be beneficial to our army! General, you might as well abandon your horses and livestock and march straight ahead with light troops. You will definitely be able to reach Dongping first!"

Li Yue looked back at the road behind him. He saw that the horses' hooves were completely stuck in the mud, and many donkeys and mules slipped. Seven or eight soldiers went to help them.

"Thank you, General, for reminding me!" Li Yue also politely handed over when others were polite.

Pu Xiong said with a smile: "After this battle, Heiyun Mountain has established a firm foothold in the Central Plains. From now on, we should get closer to my family."

We are so close to Fangtou because there is no conflict of interest for the time being.

Under Shi Min's pressure, they had to huddle together for warmth.

It doesn’t matter how good the relationship is.

Just as he was about to reply, he saw a burly one-eyed general beside him saying harshly: "Are you Li Yue?"

When Pu Hong discussed friendship with his peers, Pu Xiong was polite to him, but this person called him by his first name and his words were very disrespectful.

"Immortal is rude!" Pu Xiong scolded.

The one-eyed general snorted coldly, raised his sword and strode forward.

Pu Xiong repeatedly handed over his hand, "This boy has had a weird temperament since he was a child. I hope the general will bear with me."

"It's just that I lost my words for a moment." Li Yue didn't take it too seriously. He still needed to rely on the strength of the enemy. Naturally, it was impossible for the relationship to become tense just because of Meng Lang's words.
