Chapter 55: Raising a Grandson

Everyone retreated, and Shi Hu walked out of the hall with the help of the maid.

There were people waiting outside the hall for a long time.

"It's Ji Nu, what's the matter with you?" Seeing this person, Shi Hu's tone became much more friendly.

A young general in black armor and red robes stood up. He was eight feet tall and extraordinary in military strength. There was light flowing through his closed black eyes. "Our army has been defeated. The Yan people must be ready to take action. We should take more precautions."

"What's the best plan?" Shi Hu stared at the general, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. Unfortunately, he was not his own grandson. After all, he was an adopted grandson, or a native of Jin.

This person is none other than General Jie Zhao Jianjie Shi Min.

Shi Hu treats him like his own son and always takes him by his side.

Back then, hundreds of thousands of troops attacked Jicheng, and all the troops were defeated. Only this son returned with his entire army, and Shi Hu looked at him with admiration.

"Pu Hong is a handsome man. He has obtained the strength of his officers and men. All of them are very talented. He has a strong army of 50,000 and is stationed in Kinki. The king of heaven may wish to order him to turn to attack the Yan people. His grandson will personally lead the army behind, and he will definitely defeat the Murong clan.

."

This is not the first time that Shi Min suggested that Shi Hu get rid of Pu Hong.

In the past, Shi Hu always wanted to use Pu Hong's power to wipe out Jiangnan and Shuzhong, so he always hesitated and only secretly killed Pu Hong's nephew to weaken his power.

"Ma Qiu's new defeat, the country is hesitant and should not be moved lightly." There was a hint of regret in Shi Hu's tone.

Pu Hong was really pushed into a hurry. In a few days, an army of 50,000 troops could attack Yecheng from Fangtou.

Shi Min wanted to persuade him again, but Shi Hu waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, Pu Hong, although Yao Yizhong is strong, he is still in the palm of my hand, and he will never dare to betray me!"

Shi Hu still has this confidence.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed around Yecheng, and Fangtou and Shetou were actually under strict control.

Shi Min was a little frustrated when his advice was not accepted.

Shi Hu grabbed his hand and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today is a clear and crisp autumn day. It's a great time to go on a trip. Please go hunting with me, Ji Nu."

"Grandson takes orders!"

Shi Min's father, Ran Liang, was adopted by Shi Hu when he was twelve years old. In July of the eleventh year of Guangchu (328), Shi Hu led 40,000 cavalry to attack the former Zhao and advanced to Puban. The former Zhao lord Liu Yao personally led ten soldiers.

An army of ten thousand came for reinforcements. Shi Hu was frightened and retreated with his army. He was caught up by Liu Yao in Gaohou and suffered a huge defeat. His corpses were buried for more than 200 miles and hundreds of millions of military assets were seized. Ran Liang led his army and died in the battle.

Let Shihu escape.

Shi Min has been raised in Shi Hu's family since he was born, and the relationship between the two is naturally very close...

Black Cloud Mountain.

"Why are refugees fleeing everywhere?" Li Yueqi asked.

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have settled down and relocated, and generally they will not leave their hometown. Plagues are not war disasters, floods, or droughts, and will not destroy their homes.

Normally, once a plague is discovered, the local government will close the city gates and prohibit entry and exit to avoid the spread of the plague.

The scout said: "Liu Guo, the governor of Jie Zhao Luo Prefecture, drove the people southward!"

Liu Guonai, a Huns, wore the same trousers as Shi Hu, otherwise he would not have been sent to guard Luoyang.

He did this, firstly, to reduce the burden, and secondly, to infect the Central Plains and both sides of the Yangtze River with the plague and weaken the strength of the Jin people.

If someone had taken the initiative to invest in the past, Li Yue would have been too late to welcome him.

But taking in refugees now means risks.

There is a huge gap between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and there is also a huge gap between surgery and internal medicine.

Heiyun Mountain does not have such large material resources. Every additional population means an additional burden.

Xin Can made a rough calculation and concluded that the grain harvested this year, plus the grain seized from the Ji family, would be enough to survive until next summer.

If we accept refugees, there will be another major food crisis.

In addition, if Heiyun Mountain wants to grow, it needs more of its own population.

"How many people came?"

The scout said: "There are more than 3,000 people gathered under Beishan, but more people are coming from behind."

Li Yue summoned everyone to discuss.

Wei Shan sighed, "It's hard to take him in, and it's hard not to take him in. It all depends on the general's decision."

Xin Can said: "The plague is not a trivial matter. Jie Nu has evil intentions. Once he gets sick, he is afraid that not a single blade of grass will grow in the Black Cloud Mountain."

At his age, he should have experienced the great plague that lasted from the late Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Li Yue's eyes turned to Xu Cheng, who said: "General, the road is blue and blue. Black Cloud Mountain has only a glimmer of hope today. If we accept refugees, I'm afraid..."

Heiyun Mountain plus Jijiabao is only a hundred miles away, and the 17,000 people have reached the limit.

Now that the path of southward expansion is blocked, Black Cloud Mountain cannot support more people.

In addition, if there are too many people, it will definitely attract the attention of Yecheng.

Heiyun Mountain can hide its power and bide its time, but will Yecheng remain indifferent to the open flames of taking in refugees?

Li Yue was speechless for a moment, and hurriedly dismissed the meeting, taking two of his guards to relax on the mountain.

It's time for Heiyun Mountain to make a decision again. The key is that he is really not sure how to deal with the plague.

When I walked to the mountain pass, I met Yue Ji and others who were returning from collecting herbs.

From a long distance away, Yue Ji trotted over and said, "Brother, we have gained a lot today. We collected more than two hundred kilograms of various herbs from Xianglu Peak. Brother, look at it."

She took out a large piece of Ganoderma lucidum from her basket as if it were a treasure. Judging from its size, it was at least a hundred years old.

The population is declining, but there are more wild animals on the mountains.

"Ganoderma lucidum returns to the heart, lungs, liver, and kidney meridians. It has the effect of nourishing qi and calming the nerves, relieving coughs and asthma. Brother Zhengyi, I also met a few Taoists on this trip to the mountain. I found a cave in the mountain, which is huge..."

From the moment we met, she was chattering non-stop.

Li Yue suddenly said: "Yue Ji, do you think we can save the refugees at the foot of the mountain?"

Yue Ji raised her beautiful eyebrows and her eyes were as clear as water, "Brother asked, I already had a decision in my heart."

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "What Yue Ji said is absolutely true."

Why do you ask so many people? Why do you need to look forward and backward in everything in the world?

The world is in turmoil and the nation is in danger. If you can save one person, then you are the only one. Without great courage and determination, how can you rise in these troubled times?

"Brother, those Taoists are all immortals. If you have some free time in the future, you might as well visit them." Yue Ji specially reminded them.

Heiyun Mountain is connected to Songshan Mountain, and Songshan Mountain is connected to Funiu Mountain. It has been a Taoist holy land since ancient times. It is normal for there to be one or two Taoist priests.

How could Li Yue have so much free time now? He casually said, "I will definitely look for him someday."

The Taoist monks these days are not good people.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Lu separatist forces, and Yu Ji who was killed by Sun Ce in Jiangdong, etc.

It's better to keep a respectful distance.

Li Yue went directly to Beishan to find Bo Wu.

After a series of events, Li Yue discovered that the people Bo Wu had on the mountain were not inferior to him.

If anything big happened, he would be the one behind it all.

Li Yue is the flying horse in the sky, and he is the magic needle that anchors the sea.

"So, you want to take in the refugees?" Bo Wu said, squinting his drunken eyes.

"Yes!" Li Yue nodded.

Bo Wu drank a bottle of wine, and the two concubines beside him immediately filled it for him, "Have you thought clearly?"

"My nephew has thought it through." Li Yue nodded again.

Bo Wu vomited a breath of alcohol and said, "Then do it. When a man acts, why should he look forward and backward? Whether it succeeds or fails, how will you know if you don't try? What's wrong? I will beg for you with my old face when the time comes."

Li Yue was moved in his heart, but he didn't say much. If he said too much, he would appear to be hypocritical. He glanced at the two concubines beside him and said, "My uncle's complexion is empty and he is hurt by drinking and sex. You should take care of yourself."
