Chapter 238 Harvest
Although the heavy rain only lasted for an hour and then stopped, it was of great significance to Yanzhou.
The crops are in the process of slurrying, and with this heavy rain, this year's harvest is guaranteed.
A big stone fell in Li Yue's heart. This year was probably the most important year for Yanzhou. Jiangdong was intimidated by Ran Min's power and did not dare to go north. The Central Plains had a rare peace and a chance for development.
"Captain?" Dong Run called softly.
Li Yue came to his senses and said, "General Dong's arrival is a double blessing!"
Dong Run was a little confused and gave a perfunctory laugh, "Congratulations, it is a troubled time in the country. Your Majesty collected the Hu captives and used the Hu generals, Lu, Liu, and Wei to admonish them. However, your Majesty insisted on going his own way..."
This is quite important news.
Ran Min's use of Hu people can reveal the changes in his mentality. In just three or four months, Ran Wei's national policy changed again and again, from killing Hu people to winning over Hu people. Just like Ran Min himself, it was full of all kinds of contradictions.
After all, he is a person raised by Shihu. He has grown up in a Jieren environment since childhood, and his concepts have already been formed.
"This is the way to bring disaster!" Chang Wei sighed at the side.
Kill Hu to the end, kill them halfway, and then turn around and win over them. It's like stabbing someone a few times and then going up to comfort them, making them obedient in the future...
Do you really think the barbarians are fools?
As national policies change like this, people's hearts will also change.
"I will write another memorial to advise Your Majesty." In name, Li Yue is considered a minister of Ran Wei. As a minister, he must fulfill his duty as a minister. No matter what the relationship between the two parties is, his goal is to deal with the Hu people.
are consistent.
It is not a good sign that Shi Min treats the barbarians kindly.
At that time, Fu Hong and Shi Hu were suspicious of each other, and they repeatedly advised Shi Hu to be kind to the people and not to kill easily.
The letter was written quickly. Li Yue did not show any literary talent and tried to keep his words simple and unpretentious. I hope he can read it.
However, when he handed the memorial to Dong Run, Li Yue knew that there would be no results.
A person's character determines his destiny. How could Ran Min listen to other people's advice when he was at his most proud?
Dong Run handed him over and left.
This heavy rain pushed Li Yue's reputation to a peak.
Chen Liu began to spread the theory of destiny, and the way he looked at Li Yue was a little different. If Li Yue was just a leader or commander before, then now he is the one destined by destiny...
Of course Xin Can was behind it, and Chang Wei was secretly pushing it.
Li Yue just let it go. He didn't believe it, but he couldn't stand the people. The soldiers and slaves believed it...
The happiest person was Zhou Qian, "Thanks to Governor Hongfu, with this heavy rain, this year's harvest is guaranteed. If there is another rain, Yanzhou can still have a good harvest!"
The meaning of this was to ask Li Yue to pray for rain again. Li Yue smiled and said: "This matter cannot be divided into two parts. If we ask for too much, God will bother us..."
Zhou Qian laughed twice and went to work on his own.
July passed by without any danger.
In August, the autumn wind suddenly rises, the heat subsides, and preparations for the autumn harvest begin in various places.
In Zhou Qian's words, this year was a small bumper harvest. The wheat ears in the fields were golden and connected with the blue sky and white clouds.
No matter the people, common people, children or slaves, they are all happy. With food, their hearts will be stable.
Good news also came from Hebei. The plague in Guangzong and Yecheng was under control, and progress was good. Fewer and fewer people were sick and died. The reputation of Li Yue and the Heiyun Army became more and more popular in Yecheng.
Yecheng was stable, and more and more counties in the north and south of the river were surrendered to Ran Wei.
Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Luozhou all surrendered to Ran Wei one after another. Even Zhang Yu of Yuzhou came forward and was named the shepherd of Yuzhou by Ran Min.
In addition, Bohai, Zhongshan, Changshan, Hejian, Zhangwu and other places in Hebei Province expressed their surrender.
Even some barbarians began to submit to Ran Wei, and the situation gradually became favorable to Ran Wei.
In contrast, Xiangguo suffered heavy casualties.
The plague treats everyone equally, and according to the news sent back carefully, Shi Zhi uses ruthless methods to deal with those infected. Anyone who shows signs of the plague will be beheaded. Every day, hundreds of corpses are piled up and burned outside the city.
However, this method is crude and effective, and it can be considered barely under control.
According to the current development of the situation, as long as Ran Min does not go against the grain and does not make too many mistakes, Ran Wei will definitely become the winner in Hebei...
At the same time, a battle began immediately to the west and north of Tongguan.
Fu Xiong attacked Tongguan with 5,000 cavalry. Du Hong appointed Zhang Xian, Zhang Ju's younger brother, as the general to conquer the captives. Seeing that Fu Xiong's army was outnumbered, he led 3,000 soldiers out of the pass and fought against the enemy in the north of Tongguan...
The autumn wind is bleak and the Yellow River meanders.
The more than 5,000 Di troops faced several times the enemy and showed no fear.
Opportunities are given by the enemy. The forces emerging from the land of hundreds of battles in Kanto are obviously stronger than those from other regions.
The Di army formed a fish-scale formation, divided into several small fish-scale phalanxes. They marched forward on foot and cavalry, with the front end slightly convex, and the general in the middle. They only focused on attack and did not care about defense.
The Guanzhong Army on the opposite side is in the Crane Wing Formation, which is both offensive and defensive. The formation is beautifully arranged, and its equipment is much better than that of the Di Army. It has iron armor, large shields, spears and crossbows, but its momentum is obviously lacking.
There is no look of death on the enemy's face.
"God bless my Fu family. If Mr. Zhang huddles in Tongguan, our army will suffer heavy casualties. However, if we go out of the city to fight against him, we will destroy ourselves." Two balls of flames appeared in Fu Xiong's eyes, looking at the front line, Fu Sheng, Fu
Fa, Fu Luo and others were all filled with murderous intent.
Even his son Fu Jian was riding on a horse and holding a spear, standing together with Lu Polou's son Lu Guang in front of the formation.
"Fu's life and death depend on this battle. You, An Neng, will die if you fail!" Fu Xiong raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill!" Fu Sheng took the lead and fought out of the fish scales.
Then Lu Guang and Fu Jian also rushed out.
The rain of arrows from the sky still cannot extinguish the burning flame in the hearts of the Di people.
Five thousand people attacked the Guanzhong Army on the opposite side, and their momentum was like the heaven and earth falling apart.
Although the Guanzhong army fought hard to resist, the Di army was as powerful as a mad tiger. Fu Sheng was invincible with his big spear, cutting through thorns and thorns. Wherever he passed, blood fell like rain, and there was no general in front of him.
Fu Fa and Fu Luo commanded their soldiers to follow closely.
What stood out to Fu Xiong was Lu Polou's son Lu Guang. He was only fourteen years old. He had a long spear with a cold light that shone like he was in an uninhabited land. He was not even as deadly as Fu Sheng, and he also protected Fu Jian.
Watertight.
Fu Sheng and Lu Guang were like two spears, piercing into the Guanzhong army.
After resisting for half an hour, the Guanzhong army was finally defeated. Fu Sheng penetrated the Chinese army's formation. The entire army collapsed, and Zhang Xian took the lead in fleeing.
Then the hole in Tongguan, a natural barrier, was opened. Fu Jian drove the crowd in and sent Fu Xiong to patrol the north of the Wei River. As a result, there was a great earthquake in the middle of Guanzhong, and even Du Hong's younger brother Du Yu led the crowd to surrender to the Fu family.
Du Hong gathered the troops in Guanzhong to defend Chang'an, summoned the Qiang, and all the Di tribes to jointly defend the Fu clan.
The Di chieftains Mao Shou, Xu Tuo, and the Qiang chieftain Baidu were powerful, each with tens of thousands of troops. They all killed Du Hong's envoys and responded to the Fu clan, and sent their sons to Fu Jian's army as hostages.
Fu Xiong, Fu Jing, and Yu Zun all surrendered to the cities they passed through.
Fu Jian's momentum was greatly strengthened, and he was ready to sweep through Guanzhong.
