There is a Black Mountain in the Taihang Mountains, and some people live on the Black Mountain. These people are called the Black Mountain Army.
Of course, more people call them Black Mountain Bandits.
Once a thief, always a thief.
Even though he now has the reputation of being an official, a thief is still a thief.
The Taihang Mountains are majestic and majestic, running from north to south, with beautiful mountains, endless woods, and billowing green waves under the blow of the mountains; there are knife-cut cliffs that go straight up and down, which are daunting;
There are mountains and rocks in various shapes, waterfalls that look like silver, and deep pools with rippling blue waves...
Sitting on the top of the mountain, watching the clouds steaming and glowing, watching the sunrise and sunset, admiring the aura of the green mist, with the chirping of birds around you and the chirping of apes and monkeys in the forest. If we say it is a place where you can purely appreciate the mountain scenery and cultivate yourself, Taihang Mountain can indeed be considered a place.
A great place, but if you are on an empty stomach...
Well, it would be great if these stones could be turned into food.
Zhang Yan smiled bitterly.
Zhang Yan was sitting alone on the big rock at the top of the mountain, and his guards were driven away by him.
This place belongs to him alone. Whenever something big happens, Zhang Yan will come here to sit and think quietly...
There are quite a few people in the Montenegrin Army, and there are also many leaders, big and small. However, when it comes to food, drink, money and food distribution, the leaders are all very clear. But when it comes to future development and changes in the surrounding situation, they are basically all blind.
Listening to their nonsense and confusing your thoughts is better than just thinking about it quietly by yourself.
The first person to learn that the Shangdang had changed its leader was not Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or even the Han court, but the Black Mountain Army. This is not surprising at all, because the Black Mountain Army is also a human being and needs grains, cereals, and oil, salt, and sauce.
Vinegar, there may be prey or wild fruits on the Taihang Mountains, but after all, it is impossible to produce salt, tea and other items on the trees, so naturally you need to go down the mountain to buy them.
Due to publicity, the Huguan barrier was blocked, which made the procurement of the Black Mountain Army very inconvenient. They had to take long detours, which greatly affected their lives. Now that the Huguan is opened, they will naturally be the first to know the changes.
Thanks to Dong Zhuo, the Han Dynasty's control over Shandong was basically zero. Not only that, the control over various regions was reduced to the lowest level. Nowadays, whether it is Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, all local prefects, and princes from all over the country
They are all desperately trying to grab territory...
If the entire region were reduced to a map, then today's Dongjun and Qingzhou would be huge blank areas with no flags planted, so it has become the focus of many people.
Naturally, Zhang Yan of Heishan also set his sights on the territory of the nearby Dongjun, but unfortunately his tentacles were cut off by Cao Cao...
The Black Mountain Army inherited the mantle of the Yellow Turbans, but it did not follow the same path as the Yellow Turbans. If the Yellow Turbans had the ultimate goal of overthrowing the Han Dynasty, the Black Mountain Army just wanted to find a way for the entire Black Mountain Army in this troubled time.
It's just a way to survive.
Although Zhang Yan has not read many books, he is not a stupid person. The fact that more than thirty villages, large and small, in Heishan are now obeying Zhang Yan's orders is enough to prove this point.
Montenegro is not a thief, but an army.
Zhang Yan only emphasized this, even though most of his subordinates did not take it seriously.
Just like Zhang Yan and the generals he recruited from the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, many of the subordinates who originally belonged to the Yellow Turbans, although they did not say anything on the surface, privately complained that Zhang Yan had violated Zhang Niujiao's orders.
The original intention was to become an official fan...
Official fan, haha.
Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Zhang Yan was from Zhending, Changshan, and her surname was Chu. Later, because she was favored by the former leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Niujiao, she passed on the position of commander of the Black Mountain Army to him before she died. Zhang Yan was grateful for Zhang Niujiao's kindness and changed her surname to Zhang.
.
Zhang Niujiao is willing to pass his position to Zhang Yan, which shows that at least Zhang Niujiao understands Zhang Yan's thoughts and uses this behavior to support Zhang Yan...
Following the old yellow turban routine will lead to death sooner or later!
Zhang Niujiao is the descendant of Zhang Jiao's three brothers, and he is also the first group of followers who rose up and staunchly supported Zhang Jiao. However, with the huge Yellow Turban structure built by the three Zhang Jiao brothers, it was like a trap in front of the few Han Dynasty troops.
The snow melted away quickly like the scorching sun, and Zhang Niujiao suddenly woke up from the dream of the Yellow Turban.
But when I woke up, I still couldn't see the way forward. Until Zhang Niujiao met Zhang Yan and listened to Zhang Yan's views and plans for the future, he took Zhang Yan with him as his own from then on.
.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Zhang Yan may not be able to know this sentence of later generations, but he did gradually feel the deep malice of the Han Dynasty society towards him.
How about having the title of Commander-in-Chief in times of difficulty?
What can we do if we have the authority to promote filial piety and integrity and account for officials?
Rural tycoons from Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and many other areas would rather queue up, give gifts, and compete for the few places in the original counties than come to Montenegro.
here……
This year, the number of people in Montenegro who hold honors for filial piety and integrity is zero.
Last year it was zero too.
Same thing the year before last.
Always.
Zhang Yan also woke up from the initial pride of winning the title of Pingnan Zhonglang General. Even if he was not a miscellaneous Zhonglang General, but a regular general, no nobleman would be willing to get his background from him.
qualifications...
It is not impossible to smash the jars and randomly create some Xiaolians without any ink in their stomachs, but Zhang Yan knew that if he did that, he would just fall into the calculation of the nobles who were watching the joke. From then on, Black Mountain
Xiaolian has truly become a synonym for shame.
Therefore, Zhang Yanning can be vacant every year.
But in this way, the systematic way to cultivate one's own talents will be completely cut off.
Without talents, the Montenegrin Army will always be dominated by thieves, and it is impossible to truly become an "army"! Without talents, Zhang Yan will not be able to fulfill the promise he once made to Zhang Niujiao and find a real path for the people of Montenegro.
The way out...
Therefore, in order to follow the future livelihood of his fellow villagers, Zhang Yan had to find a new way out, but he was disappointed again.
Wen Hao, the governor of Shangdang, didn't bother to meet him at all, let alone Yuan Shao, the leader of the noble clan in the world. The person sent to contact Wen Hao was shut out, while the person sent to see Yuan Shao was beaten out by Yuan Shao with a stick.
If that man hadn't been rough-skinned and thick-bodied, he would have been beaten to death on the spot...
Zhang Yan slapped the stone beside her bitterly and couldn't help but said: "Why?! You would rather negotiate a deal with the barbarians than give me a chance?! Why!"
It was quiet all around, and except for the howling mountain wind, no one could give Zhang Yan an answer.
