"Captain Li?" Various memories flashed through Li Yue's mind.

Everyone was talking to each other, talking about old things from twenty years ago.

The legend of Governor Li has been circulating in Yuzhou, and Xingyang is his base camp.

The name of the governor of Li was Li Ju. He was from Pingyang in Daijun. He was a minor official in the county at first. During the Yuankang period of the Western Jin Dynasty, he made great achievements in conquering the Qi Dynasty for ten thousand years. He was granted the title of Tinghou of the Eastern Ming Dynasty. He also served as the governor of the county.

Song Zhou, the prefect of Pingyang, wanted to replace him with his relative Wu Ji, but Li Ju took the initiative to claim illness and retire into seclusion.

But Wu Ji was afraid of his return and sent people to assassinate him, but failed.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, Bingzhou was the source of the disaster. Liu Yuan attacked Pingyang. Li Juping was loved by the people for his wisdom and bravery, and was elected as the leader of the dock. He went east to station troops in Xingyang, and then recruited the refugees and pacified the rogue bandits in Yuzhou.

In the first battle, Shi Le personally led 40,000 cavalry to the south. Li Ju ordered the old and weak, women and children to go into the mountains to avoid the chaos, blocked the road with cattle and horses, and ambushed the troops in the valley, destroying Shi Le and causing heavy casualties.

They fought again and defeated the former Zhao clan general Liu Chang with 30,000 infantry and cavalry with a thousand men, but Liu Chang only escaped with his own life.

In the third battle, he commanded the tribes of refugees from Siyu and fought with Liu Cong and Liu Can with 100,000 cavalry in Luo and Rui. After more than 20 days of hard fighting, Liu Can, the former Prince of Zhao, was defeated. He used thousands of cavalry to attack the Han and Zhao camp at night and burned it.

After setting fire to the camp, the entire army returned, but Liu Cong was unable to pursue and kill him. He became so angry that he became ill and died.

As a result, Li Ju was promoted by Emperor Jin and Yuan to General Anxi, Grand Administrator of Xingyang, Governor of Sizhou, and Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in Sizhou.

Liu Kun in the north and Zu Ti in the east resisted the attacks of former Zhao and later Zhao several times, protecting the south of the Yellow River from being trampled by barbarian cavalry, and protecting the people of Yong and Jisi who went south. This was how the Eastern Jin Dynasty began to cross south.

.

However, the good times did not last long.

As soon as the Sima family established a foothold in Jiangzuo, they began to be suspicious and suspicious of the generals in the north.

Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties appointed his close acquaintance Dai Yuan as General of the Western Expedition, Commander-in-Chief of Si, Yan, Yu, Bing, Yong, and Hebei, and Governor of Sizhou.

Li Ju was deprived of the title of Sizhou Governor.

However, he has a broad mind and doesn't care. He works hard without complaining.

However, Zu Ti was worried and angry because of this incident. In addition, he had a premonition that the imperial court was about to be in civil strife and the Northern Expedition would not succeed, so he died of worry and anger.

The refugee army is complex, and it is all maintained by Li Ju's personality charm. The reason why he resists the Hu people is partly due to hatred of the country and family, and partly to get promoted and make a fortune.

Now even Li Ju's official position is not guaranteed, and there is no hope for others.

In addition, Shi Le was rising in Hebei at this time, and he was light on corvee and low on taxes, so the taxes he set were lower than those in the Western Jin Dynasty.

He also set up a gentleman's camp to attract scholars, treat the scholars and people well, and promote Confucianism. In just a few years, Hebei was full of vitality, and all the Hu and Han people returned.

Shi Le sent three generals, Shi Sheng, Shi Chong and Shi Liang, to station troops in Luoyang. Instead of fighting Li Ju head-on, they implemented scorched-earth tactics and looted the two prefectures of Siyu, killing the people and cutting off Li Ju's foundation.

By this time, Liu Kun had long been destroyed, Zu Ti was angered to death, and his younger brother Zu Yue was very selfish.

The small court of Sima in the south fell into the Wang Dun Rebellion. Although Dai Yuan was a famous scholar, he had no talent in military strategy...

Li Ju was isolated and helpless, with little food and grass, and gradually became exhausted. His subordinates were heartbroken by the Sima family's series of unscrupulous actions.

But a good man is always a good man, so he launched a conspiracy, surrendered to Qian Zhao, and attacked Shi Le from a flank.

Liu Yao sent his cousin Liu Yue, King of Zhongshan, to garrison troops in Heyin and prepare to besiege Luoyang.

Shi Le sent out heavy troops to support.

When the war was about to break out, at a critical moment, Li Ju's subordinate Guo Mo was defeated by Shi Chong and led his troops to flee south, causing Li Ju to fall short.

His subordinates conspired to surrender to Shile, but Li Ju was unable to suppress it and led his troops south to join Jiankang. His subordinates dispersed in a rush, leaving only General Guo Song, Guo Fang who joined the army, meritorious Cao Zhang Jing, Chief Secretary Gou Yuan, General Qian Tao, Jiang Ba, Liang Zhi, and others.

Sima Shang, Ji Hong, Li Gui, Duan Xiu and more than a hundred people abandoned their homes and followed.

However, fate played tricks on Li Ju again. When he reached Luyang (today's Pingdingshan), he fell off a cliff and died...

A famous general passed away sadly...

The group that stayed in Xuanyuan Mountain were the family members of Li Ju's men back then.

Li Yue's heart surged when he heard this.

These are the true national heroes. It is a pity that later generations only remember Liu Kun, Zu Ti, Huan Wen, etc., but forget those who really stood up.

Compared with Liu Kun, he has more military strategy.

Compared to Zu Ti, he is more ambitious.

Compared to Huan Wen, he has no selfish motives...

However, the Sima family's court was not worthy of these heroes, from Deng Ai at the founding of the Kingdom to Wei Guan and Wen Yang later, as well as Zu Ti and Li Ju twenty years ago, etc.

This court has inherent deformities, with successive generations of powerful ministers and civil strife...

"If it's Captain Li's old department, we'd better not make any move." Wei Shan looked sad.

Cui Jin said: "Xuanyuan Mountain is heavily guarded, and since we are loyal and loyal, we'd better not provoke him if it's not necessary."

The strength of Xuanyuan Mountain is not inferior to that of Black Cloud Mountain, and the mountain is dangerous and difficult to break.

The last time Gaoli Imperial Guards attacked Heiyun Mountain was a lesson learned from the past.

"Since we are not annexing them, why not become allies?" Zhou Qian handed over to everyone.

Li Yue's heart moved, "No, let's send some scouts to pretend to defect first and see what's going on on the mountain."

Li Ju is Li Ju, and Xuanyuan Mountain is Xuanyuan Mountain.

Twenty years later, who knows who they are now?

Just like Zu Ti, he attacked Ji in the middle of the stream and vowed to drive out the barbarians and regain the mountains and rivers. However, his younger brother led his troops to defect to Shi Le.

People have no intention of hurting tigers, but tigers can hurt people's hearts.

Li Yue doesn't miss them. It would be bad if they miss Black Cloud Mountain...

These days, the main focus of all forces is to fight against the evil, and whoever can survive will not be a White Lotus.

"The leader of the village has far-reaching thoughts and can't reach far!" Zhou Qian is good at everything and has outstanding governance skills, but he can't help but send two flatterers to him at every turn.

Tian Baozi glanced at him sideways.

"I will take twenty elite scouts to Xuanyuan Mountain tomorrow!" Cui Jin asked directly.

Brothers fight, father and son go into battle.

If something goes wrong, brothers are still reliable.

And Cui Jin is indeed the most suitable candidate. Wei Shan is careless and not suitable for lurking, while Zhou Qian is submissive and the city is deep, so he may not be willing to take this risk.

Tian Baozi is a grass bandit. If he is sent there, Heiyun Mountain may be sold.

Li Yue was really worried about his safety.

Although he became the leader of the village, the factions on the mountain were complicated. Without Cui Jin's support and secret cooperation, many things would be difficult to implement.

Cui Jin solemnly said: "There is no time to think about it. Jie Nu suffered a disastrous defeat and must take revenge. Heiyun Mountain should seize every opportunity to grow stronger! It would be best if Xuanyuan Mountain can be an ally. If not, the leader of the village will lead troops to attack. I

It can be an internal response!”

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Li Yue could only nod, "Brother, you must pay attention to your safety. It doesn't matter if you don't want Xuanyuan Mountain, but brother, you must not make any mistakes!"

Cui Jin's eyes flashed with warmth, "Don't worry, village master."
