Chapter 161: Zhang Yan Attacks Yecheng

Mr. Guo's words made the noise in the field quiet. Two thousand war horses meant two thousand cavalry. Although the number of Black Mountain Yellow Turbans was large, there were only more than a thousand cavalry. The war horses used were also some inferior horses, which were not worth mentioning compared to the horses in Bingzhou. Moreover, the Bingzhou army defeated the Xianbei army at this time, which was already a hot topic in the world. If there were Bingzhou war horses, the combat effectiveness of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans could be greatly improved. Faced with the Jizhou army, there was no need to resist with a huge advantage in numbers.

Who is Zhang Yan? He has been in charge of the Black Mountain Army for many years and is thoughtful. From Guo Tai's words, he felt an extraordinary meaning. He was the dignified governor of Bingzhou and the Marquis of Jin, who actually fought with the Yellow Turbans for the most tyrants in the world. Is there nothing wrong with this?

"I am here to thank the King of Jin for the Yellow Turbans of the Black Mountain." Zhang Yan's face calmed down.

Seeing that Mrs. Guo had no intention of continuing to talk, Zhang Yan understood that there were many people in the field and it was difficult to guarantee that the news would not be leaked, so she signaled everyone to leave.

"General Guo, the Marquis of Jin has sponsored the 2,000 war horses of the Yellow Turbans in the Black Mountains. There must be other conditions." After everyone dispersed, Zhang Yan stared at Mr. Guo with a bright look.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "General Zhang knew clearly that he had said before that the Marquis of Jin admired General Zhang very much and wanted General Zhang to go to Bingzhou for a talk. I wonder what General Zhang meant?"

Zhang Yan's eyes tightened. He was instinctively alert to the official army. "Oh? Go to Bingzhou? Could General Guo be a three-year-old child? The official army and the Yellow Turban Army have always been incompatible. Isn't this general going to Jinyang to fall into the trap?"

Mr. Guo seemed to have expected Zhang Yan to think like this, and smiled and said, "The Marquis of Jin once said that General Zhang had a common enemy with him, that is, Yuan Shao. Jizhou had a rift with Bingzhou. This time the Xianbei attacked, Jizhou even sent general Yan Liang to attack Huguan. Both sides were already in the same force, Jizhou was strong in the army and had enough food. When Yuan Shao planned to Qingzhou, the inside would inevitably be empty. The Marquis of Jin learned that the Yellow Turban Army lacked weapons and war horses, so he wanted to help each other, that's all."

When Zhang Yan heard this, he let go of his vigilance in his heart. He had long heard of the matter between Jizhou and Bingzhou. The distraction between the two was not a secret between the Yellow Turbans. He wanted to fight with Bingzhou and Jizhou, so he could take the opportunity to make profits.

"If I had time, I would have gone to Jinyang to visit Jinhou. However, the situation in the Heishan Army is not very good now. I would like to ask General Guo to go back and convey it to you later." Zhang Yan said that in his eyes, the officials in the world are the same, and there must be some indescribable trauma between them. Lu Bu is an official and they are bandits. It is impossible for the two to cooperate. As for selling war horses, Bingzhou is also for profit, and there is no big friendship.

Mr. Guo felt a little disappointed, "General Zhang may have misunderstood the Marquis of Jin. I believe that the general has also heard of the actions of Marquis of Jin in Bingzhou. He suppressed the rebellion of the Xiongnu, defeated the Xianbei, and lived and worked in peace and contentment under his rule. The Baibo Valley and Yellow Turbans were all divided into fields in Bingzhou."

Zhang Yan's expression moved slightly. He knew these things. As the leader of the Yellow Turban, he still had a certain understanding of the general trend of the world. "The King of Jin was sincere in serving the people, which was a blessing for the people of Bingzhou."

"I have also had dates with General Zhang and admired him very much. If the general goes to Bingzhou, I would like to use Xiang Shang to guarantee the general's safety." Guo Tai said.

"After I think about this, I will make a conclusion. General Guo can settle in the village first." Zhang Yan felt a little shaken. The Yellow Turbans were rebellious no matter what, and everyone was punished. The whole world had reached a consensus. Guo Tai transformed himself from the Yellow Turbans to the captain of the Han Dynasty. Although he was also a general enthroned by the Emperor of Han, what he did now was not up to the forefront. It was false that he was not moved, but he had not found a trustworthy backer.

On the battlefield of Qingzhou, Jizhou's strategists played an important role, not only defeating Gongsun Zan, who wanted to be involved in Qingzhou, but also occupying most of Qingzhou. Yuan Shao's strength was greatly improved. It can be expected that once the entire Qingzhou area is occupied, plus Jizhou, no one in the world can compete with Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yan always wanted to give Yuan Shao a ruthless person. Who made this guy often attack the Heishan Army under the name of righteousness? The Heishan Army was in Jizhou, which was a constraint on Yuan Shao's development. As for the so-called righteousness, it was just a fool to the people of the world. The Xianbei people have caused trouble to the Han Dynasty for many years, so why didn't Yuan Shao send a soldier?

Facing the empty Jizhou, Zhang Yan was very envious. Looking at the Han Dynasty's prefectures and counties, Jizhou's wealth was definitely among the best. Zhang Yan has been entrenched in Jizhou for many years. He also understood that even if the Black Mountain Army was fully launched, it would not be possible to occupy Jizhou. The military and civilians of Jizhou were naturally very disgusted with the Yellow Turbans, and the aristocratic families could not say that they cooperated with the Yellow Turbans.

In the early morning, Yecheng was as usual, the city gate slowly opened, and the people entering and leaving the city had already gathered at the city gate. Unlike in the past, there were a lot of convoys entering the city this time, and there were also a lot of guards escorting them.

The leader of the escort convoy was very good at making things happen. Without waiting for the soldiers to come forward to interrogate, he took out a bag of money and stuffed it into the hands of the gate chief who was in charge of the city gate. "The army is more comfortable."

Tunchang weighed the purse in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, "Well, hurry up and go to the city, don't disturb the people, otherwise you will definitely not be forgiven."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jun." The guard leader thanked him repeatedly, and as he turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yecheng is a relatively important city in Jizhou. It has a high city and deep ponds, and there is sufficient food and grass in the city. Even if Yuan Shao attacks Qingzhou, he has deployed a lot of troops in Yecheng. Yecheng is too important for Yuan Shao.

The convoy slowly walked into the city gate. When the last carriage was about to enter, the wheels broke and the incoming and outgoing team stopped immediately.

The head of Tun Chang pressed his hand and stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"June, the wheels of the carriage are broken, let's get them out now."

"Hurry up, don't affect other people's entry and exit." Tun Chief said dissatisfied. If Nian Zai hadn't put this person in trouble, he would have ordered people to throw the carriage out.

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from a distance. The defenders at the city gate were surprised to find that dust and smoke were shattered in the distance. It was obvious that an army was coming. The generals guarding the city changed their faces and hurriedly said: "Close the city gate."

At this time, there were not many troops in Jizhou. Yuan Shao attacked Qingzhou and basically transferred his elite forces. Although there were 5,000 defenders in the city, they had to be careful.

The guard who was pushing the carriage saw more than a dozen soldiers coming to close the city gate, and secretly gave a wink. He took out the weapons hidden in the carriage and rushed towards the soldiers guarding the city.
