Zhang Yan said unhappily: "Do you know what military tactics are? My Heishan army is known as one million people, but in fact there are 400,000 people. Who in the world dares to fight alone? If he does not use some tricks, he will lead his troops to attack recklessly, and I will laugh at him as stupid as he is. We all know that he will come to take revenge, but he still does not do anything to be prepared. Even if he is defeated, no one will blame others."

Everyone was angry when they heard this, and even a messenger looked at Zhang Yan with fun and shouted: "Master Daqu is so generous to others' morale and destroy his own prestige. Why do you care about it? Will you not avenge this revenge?"

Zhang Yan snorted coldly and said, "Of course, you need to avenge your grudges, but there must be a method to do it. Otherwise, as soon as we gathered the army, the Han Dynasty thought that we had rebelled again and rashly intervened in the matter to expand the war. Wouldn't that be bad? Letting the real murderer escape for nothing is not going to deviate from our original intention of revenge."

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. At the beginning of the uprising, most of them were just ordinary people and were often bullied by the government and local authorities. Now they have finally become the best people and have just enjoyed a comfortable life, so how can they be willing to turn against the court?

As for the beautiful ideal of overthrowing the court and rebuilding a peaceful and prosperous era, after all the great wise men and great men of heaven, earth, man and Zhang Niujiao died, everyone stopped thinking about him, and it would be better to count on one day!

As for revenge, everyone is just a matter of death and sadness of the fox, and the things hurt the same kind. If they can easily take revenge, everyone is indignant or will send troops to do their best. If it is too difficult, I am afraid it will be just a verbal statement.

Although Zhang Yan could see that the Heishan Army was doing their own things and had different orders, he could not see that the Heishan Army's hearts were dispersed and there was no longer the aura of the beginning of the uprising. Especially after the harmony with the court, the generals of the Heishan Mountain did not have external pressure and most of them closed their doors to become their own local emperors.

If it weren't for the sudden invasion of He Bai's army, the generals had an inexplicable sense of crisis and gathered again under Zhang Yan's command for a while. The Black Mountain Army would be completely disarrayed in less than a few years and no longer be a whole. Even if Zhang Yan had great power in the future, he would have been able to command the troops of the canal to act, and he would not be able to command the entire army.

An envoy asked, "Master Daqu, don't know how we can take revenge without being afraid of the court, so he can mobilize the army to guard against me?"

Zhang Yan tapped the desk with his knuckles and said slowly: "He Bai, the commander of Taiyuan, was humiliated for being robbed by our army. This matter is not known to everyone in the world, but it must be heard of Changshan, Taiyuan and Luoyang. Moreover, the court has issued an edict allowing He Bai to seek revenge on our army. Therefore, this matter is a dignified act for He Bai. Although our army was defeated, we cannot blame others."

"However, when He Bai had no conclusive evidence that He Shan did it, he rashly sent troops to attack and kill the three members of our army, the commander Qu. This matter was too much, so we also had reason to seek He Bai's revenge in a righteous manner. This matter can be spread across the world, especially let the court know that our troops were just to avenge personal revenge. However, since it was for personal revenge, we could not use a large army, and we could only send elite troops from each unit. As long as there were not many people, the court would not be too afraid."

After hearing this, everyone nodded involuntarily. The court initially decided that He Bai's affairs were privately revenge, and the purpose was to let the two armies solve them privately. Therefore, although the Heishan Army suffered some losses at the beginning, it was not without the power to retaliate. As long as the court did not intervene, the Heishan generals did not think that He Bai's three thousand private soldiers could be able to block the Heishan Army's random attack.

Everyone asked with satisfaction: "Master Daqu, I wonder how many troops we and other departments need to send?"

Zhang Yan pondered for a while before saying, "Each division can send 500 elite soldiers, and our department will send 1,000 elite soldiers, totaling 6,000 elite soldiers. The number of this army will not cause panic among the court, but it is just as much as that of Heibai. It is easy to win. Even if you cannot kill it, you can still let those who dare to violate our Black Mountain."

"Master Daqu, I wonder who will be the commander in this battle? Was Master Daqu personally going?"

Zhang Yan shook his head and said disdainfully: "My opponents are Huangfu Yizhen, Lu Zigan, Zhu Gongwei and others, and merely a county lieutenant. Why do I need to take action personally? Then Liu Shi, who is friendly to Huanglong, is the main general, and Zuo Wang and Zhangba, deputy to join forces to fight against He Bai and Lingshou."

"Master Daqu is wise."

"Report... lord, the bandits of the Black Mountain are willing to send 6,000 troops to Lingshou to attack me. The leader is Liu Shi, the thief of Anxi, and the deputy general is the left lord of the house, the left lord of the house."

Zhang Yan had just finished his plan with the bandits. When he was clicking the selection of troops, He Bai got the news that the Black Mountain bandits sent troops. He Bai, who came from later generations, naturally paid the most information, and sent a small to sneak into Luancheng early to investigate the news. Therefore, He Bai got the exact news just after the Black Mountain bandits' meeting.

When He Bai heard that the Black Mountain bandits had only sent 6,000 troops, which was not as huge as he expected, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He Bai's initial prediction was that the Black Mountain bandits might have to send more than 10,000 troops, and at most more than 20,000 people were more likely to have more than 20,000 people. Therefore, He Bai was preparing to use Jiumen County as the blocking point, and Che Jing's troops delayed the advance of the thieves such as Zhang Yan. He attracted the attention of Sun Qing and other thieves in Lingshou County, and then used Fu Xing and Yu to become a strange army, and once again captured the nests of several thieves. It was so that the Black Mountain bandits were frightened when they heard about He Bai's name.

It’s a pity that the Black Mountain bandits did not take themselves seriously, but sent twice as many troops to fight. But this is good. The Black Mountain bandits have fewer troops and their own casualties. As long as they can completely wipe out the bandits, they can still make the Black Mountain bandits frighten themselves.

In the area under which He Bai occupied, the Zhongshan County in the north had the capital of Sun Qing, Li Damu, Puyin Zhang Lei Gong, Anxi Liu Shi, and five black mountain bandits in the green city of Ancheng. In the Changshan County in the south were Luancheng Zhang Yan, Gaoyi Zuoxiao, and the left jing of the house was Zhang Yan, Shangyaoyu Digen, and the deceased Guo Daxian, Huanglong and Wang Dangqiuqiu, and the seven black mountain bandits in the Zhao State in the south were Tao Sheng, and the two black mountain bandits in the green ox horn of Zhongqiu.

These fourteen Black Mountain bandits gathered 250,000 people. Although three were destroyed, there were still more than 200,000 people. Sending 6,000 troops was just a small matter for more than a dozen Black Mountain bandits, but it was still a big trouble for He Bai. Fortunately, the Black Mountain bandits were divided into two groups, and they could find opportunities to break the road first and then fight the decisive battle with the latter group.

When He Bai received the letter of war from the Black Mountain bandits, Anxi Liu Shi had already gathered five elite troops in Anxi County, and rushed toward Lingshou County. Anxi County was the place where Liu Bei was originally appointed, and Liu Bei was still stable at that time. However, since Liu Bei abandoned his post and left, he was occupied by the Black Mountain bandit Liu Shi's troops. The chaos had just been calmed down for a year, and today it once again became the focus of the military and civilians of several counties around him.

After leaving Anxi, passing Hanchang, and reaching Wuji, the thief commander Liu Shiyao pointed to Wuji County, which was facing a great enemy and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a wealthy Zhongshan Zhen family in Wuji County. The family has countless wealth and food. Last year, it was a waste of money and food to the people. It can be seen that he is extremely generous. Our army can borrow tens of stones of grain from him to make up for the shortage."

Wuji County has never been thieves, and there is a lot of money and food in the city. The thieves were very happy when they heard this and immediately turned to Wuji County. Wuji County Magistrate was very frightened and urgently summoned the county's central government and the county soldiers to guard the city.

After the bandits of Heishan surrounded Wuji County, Liu Shi came out and shouted: "Wu, the officials and people of Wuji County need to listen carefully. Today, my Heishan army passed by Guidi, and it happened to be short of soldiers and food. He came to ask Zhen, a great charity in Guixian, for grain. If Zhen was generous, I would immediately dispatch troops and leave. If I did not give, I would break the Wuji County and slaughter the Zhen family under the city."

The officials and civilians of Wuji County were very afraid, and the county magistrate urgently summoned Zhen Yu, the head of the Zhen family, to discuss. Since Zhen Yu was treated by his brother-in-law Chengzhang, although he was still sick and weak, he was no longer as dying as before. Although he was weak, his face was quite energetic.

Zhen Yu pointed to the thief under the city and said, "My magistrate, it is fake for the thief to borrow food, but it is real for the robbery."

The county magistrate couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Heishan bandits are besieging the city, who do you want to hijack?"

Zhen Yu explained: "My Zhen family is close to He Tianming, the commander of Taiyuan. He Tianming once placed eight or nine of his family members in my family. Now, he heard that He Tianming defeated several Black Mountain bandits in Changshan Kingdom and killed three Heishan Qus. Heishan bandits heard that He Tianming's family was here before, so they came to ask for it in the name of borrowing grain. If the county magistrate agreed, he would have offended the Taiyuan Commander. If he did not answer, he would have made the Black Mountain bandits furious to attack the city. This matter is very troublesome..."

The county magistrate asked in surprise: "I wonder if the head of the Zhen family has a plan to defeat the thief?"

Zhen Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Lingshou is only a hundred miles away from Wuji, and the army will only last two days. We can send warriors to Lingshou County to report the news, why should we guard the city for three days? If we don't arrive for three days, we can send people to retreat."

After hearing this, the county magistrate nodded and agreed. After Zhen Yu returned to the Zhen family, he urgently summoned his family and Gongsun Linglong, Anova and others to discuss. Zhen Yu said, "I see that the county magistrate of this county has the intention to abandon the city and escape, so he used good words to stabilize it, but he may not last long. Therefore, he urgently needed the rescue of the army under his brother-in-law. Mrs. Gongsun can write a letter, so I can ask the warriors in the clan to break through the siege and go to Lingshou County to find his brother-in-law."

Although Gongsun Linglong was about to be born, she did not dare to neglect her. She immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Zhen Yu. Zhen Yu immediately called Zhen Ge, a warrior in the clan, and ordered the letter to be placed close to her body. She also selected a good horse from the clan and handed it over to Zhen Ge to ride. Zhen Ge was ordered to leave the city, and took the night black bandits to siege the city. She detoured the southwest corner and quietly went through the camp in the dark. When she was discovered by the racist, she rode alone and killed several people in a bow, which stopped the thieves' pursuit, and then hurriedly took the horse to run towards the west.

He Bai was shocked when he heard the news. Gongsun Linglong was about to be born, but was surrounded by bandits of black mountain bandits. It was really a bad idea. He Bai couldn't wait for Fu Xing to lead the troops back, so he hurriedly led Li Ping and Chengqi's two troops about 800 cavalry to look at Wuji County.

Seeing that Wuji County was not in response to his request, Liu Shi was furious and urgently ordered the army to attack the city. However, last year, the people of Wuji County received more food from Zhen's family to survive, so they were almost more dedicated to protecting the city than the Zhen family. They resisted Liu Shi's 2,500 elite troops without moving, which caused Liu Shi to lose more than a hundred people.

Liu Shi was furious and not only ordered his soldiers to attack the city without any hesitation, but also intended to summon An Xi's army to support him. In the emergency, He Bai had already led 800 fast horses to approach Wuji County.

It was not until He Bai led the eight hundred cavalry near Wuji County that Liu Shi received news that He Bai came to support him. Liu Shi was startled first, but then happy. He was afraid that He Bai's soldiers would retreat into the city and not come out in this battle. Now, He Bai came from afar and there was no danger to defend, which was easy to break.
