() "Haha, does General Zhang know about Guo Da?" Jushuo's face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "The Yellow Turban Army under Guo Da's command also numbered more than 200,000, but they were defeated by my general and fled in confusion. They seem to be in Yuzhou recently. I don't know.
How does General compare to Guo Da?"
Zhang Yan thought deeply: "When the two armies are fighting, why worry about these useless things? Yuan Shao defeated Guo Da with the help of Cao Cao. I know your purpose, isn't it because you want the Black Mountain Army to retreat? This matter is very easy, as long as
Yuan Shao is willing to pay 50,000 dan of grain and 1,000 war horses, and the Black Mountain Army will retreat, but the occupied city will not be returned. The Yellow Turban Army has hundreds of thousands of people, and I have no choice but to do so."
Although the Black Mountain Army occupied three cities along the way, it also showed the shortcomings of the Yellow Turbans. They lacked collective spirit when attacking the city. After occupying the city, they only thought about how to achieve great things by looting. Zhang Yan was nominally
He was the commander-in-chief, but the Yellow Turban generals under his command were at odds with each other and secretly divided into several factions.
Jushuo's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said: "The general's statement is ridiculous. How can Jizhou get so much money and food, but General Yuan can give the general something that he can only dream of."
"What?"
Jushou muttered two words softly.
Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, she stared at Jushou with piercing eyes, waved her hands for a long time and said: "You go down and have a rest. This matter is of great importance. I want to discuss it with the generals under my command."
When Zhang Yan occupied Heishan, he had no more than 20,000 soldiers. Only because he was appointed by Commander Zhang Niujiao on his deathbed, he became the commander-in-chief of the entire Black Mountain Army. He had 50,000 elite soldiers and was the leader, but the rest of the troops
There are many people who are dissatisfied with Commander Qu.
"What do you think about this matter?" Zhang Yan was at the top, looking at the commander in the tent with a heavy expression.
"Commander, the Han army has always been cunning and I can't believe it. I got news that Gongsun Zan from Youzhou led his soldiers to gather at the border of Jizhou. He has a big agenda. Yuan Shao must have been unable to resist and came to compromise with our army. Why don't we take advantage of the situation?
Then go up and divide Jizhou with the Youzhou army."
Zhang Yan followed the sound and saw that it was Yang Feng. This man had followed Zhang Niujiao and fought in various places. He was brave, resourceful and had outstanding achievements. Originally, Yang Feng was the best choice after Zhang Niujiao's death, but he did not expect Zhang Yan to come out.
"Admiral Yang's words are reasonable, but our army does not have much food and grass, so I am afraid it will not last long. Yuan Shao was the leader of the eighteen princes at that time, and he has many elite soldiers in his hands, so he may not be able to win. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who is proud of his bravery, was defeated.
Yuan Shao suffered a huge defeat and was severely injured." Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.
"Commander, if you say to fight, we will fight. It's not just Yuan Shao. What's there to be afraid of? Think about the time when the great virtuous warrior led a million soldiers and attacked the city all the way. The Han army fled in embarrassment. How spectacular it was.
." Zhang Baiqi said disapprovingly.
Zhang Yan scolded: "Baiqi, don't talk nonsense, listen to other commanders' opinions." Zhang Baiqi is a loyal follower of Zhang Niujiao. When Zhang Niujiao appointed Zhang Yan as the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Baiqi
Ride naturally and follow.
Zhang Baiqi stood aside with his hands tied, saying nothing, and his expression was extremely respectful.
The commanders in the various departments in the tent discussed it a lot, but they couldn't come up with any good suggestions.
When Zhang Yan told Yuan Shao's conditions, the room in the tent was like an explosion. Many Yellow Turban generals were arguing and their faces were red. The Yellow Turbans had always been at odds with the Han army, so they were unwilling to succumb to the imperial court and fought with each other for many years.
When I suddenly heard these words, I naturally felt conflicted.
Late at night, Zhang Yanmai was walking in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but whisper: "Master, you are in the spirit of heaven, can you tell the disciples what should be done?"
The Yellow Turban Army seems powerful, but it is not monolithic. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao wiped out the Yellow Turbans in the Qingzhou and Yanzhou areas, the Yellow Turbans' strength was greatly damaged. Black Mountain happened to be the temporary foothold of the Yellow Turbans, so it developed. Zhang Yan knew that the army was hostile to him.
There are many people who are dissatisfied, and maybe many people are secretly waiting to see their own jokes.
By the moonlight, Zhang Yan saw a figure approaching her. Suddenly she turned around and saw that her right hand had already been on the hilt of the sword. She relaxed when she saw that it was the guard Wu Nian.
"Commander, it's already late at night, go to bed early." Wu Nian said, cupping his fists.
Zhang Yan sighed: "The big thing is still undecided. Alas, when the great sages and teachers were there, the Yellow Turbans were so majestic. I didn't expect that they can only operate in the Black Mountain area now. Wu Nian, tell me, are the Yellow Turbans really wrong?"
Wu Nian's body trembled slightly and he said: "Commander, I don't know how humble my position is. I heard the commanders from various ministries arguing endlessly today."
"If it were you, how would you choose?" Zhang Yan thought about it and turned her attention to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian was met on the way to Montenegro. Wu Nian, who was hungry and unaware of his personnel, was completely bribed by Zhang Yan with a meal and became a loyal bodyguard. He has been following Zhang Yan for many years.
Wu Nian's martial arts skills were not weak among the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, but no matter how Zhang Yan tried to persuade him, he still refused to command the army and was willing to become a bodyguard.
"Commander, if it's a humble position." Wu Nian looked at Zhang Yan's encouraging eyes, straightened his body and said, "Actually, it's not bad to join the imperial court. At least the people will not be hunted down by the Han army, and the generals will have the ability to fight for many years.
A reputation."
Zhang Yan sighed and said: "The Black Mountain Army is not as simple as it seems."
The next day, Zhang Yan met with Jushou and agreed to his request. Yuan Shao paid 5,000 dan of grain and grass and 100 war horses.
When Jushou returned to Yuan's army, Yuan Shao personally went out to greet him and gave him the highest courtesy. This spread spread in Jizhou, and of course he was accompanied by Yuan Shao's courtesy corporals.
Chang'an City, the General's Mansion, watching the news from the lone wolf soldiers, the smile on Jia Rong's face grew more and more. The more chaotic the situation in the Central Plains, the better it would be for Jia Rong.
Liangzhou was established, Jia Rong aimed at Bingzhou. Cao Cao, who was east of Hangu Pass, did not want to fight with him for the time being. Bingzhou's military strength had declined since Ding Yuan, and Ding Tai was in charge of Bingzhou, but he could not convince the people.
The Xiliang Army directed its troops towards Bingzhou. What they needed was an opportunity, and this opportunity, of course, came from Xianbei. Once Xianbei attacked Yanmen Pass, with the current strength of Bingzhou, it would be difficult to resist. At that time, Jia Rong, in the name of the general, sent
The army went to Bingzhou and legitimately took over the Bingzhou army, so Ding Tai could not make any waste.
Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Yuzhou and Liu Bei are all busy, so naturally the Xiliang army cannot be idle.
What surprised Jia Rong was that Gongsun Zan actually sent an envoy to say that the Youzhou army was willing to form an alliance with the Xiliang army.
Thinking back to every detail of the past with Gongsun Zan, each has become a prince on the same side.
Forming an alliance with the Youzhou Army has no harm at all. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are fighting to the death. However, under the rule of the Xiliang Army, there is no intersection with Youzhou. Having such an ally in Jizhou reminds people of the actions taken by the King of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The distant relations and close attacks gradually disintegrated the countries, and then unified them.
Under Jia Rong's secret orders, five thousand Xiliang troops have moved closer to the border of Bingliang. Chang'an has a natural barrier at Hangu Pass. One man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Li Shun only needs to fall into the camp to be able to guard it. Cao Cao has experienced drought
Because of the disaster caused by the refugees, it was difficult to gather a large army in a short period of time to compete with the Xiliang army.
Autumn came in the first year of Xingping, and Xianbei finally couldn't hold back his lustful thoughts, so he sent troops to fight with the Xiliang army, making the Xianbei people feel unprecedented humiliation.
The country of the Han people was not peaceful, and so was the Xianbei. The big tribes were annexing the smaller tribes. On the vast grasslands, there was bloodshed every day. Murong Feng still could not change the situation when he returned to the grasslands. With the help of his own methods, the leader
His strength developed rapidly, and without Murong Feng's restraint, the chaotic grassland became the leader.
After returning to Xianbei, Murong Feng reorganized his troops and taught the restless leader a lesson. When the adults in the various ministries learned that Murong Feng had returned, they also carefully put their thoughts aside.
Xianbei raised 80,000 troops and moved closer to the Yanmen Pass area. It seemed that they deliberately avoided the Xiliang army. Beidi County had always been the focus of Xianbei plunder. On the contrary, there was no trace of the Xianbei people, and no Xianbei army appeared in Youzhou.
There was an emergency at the border, and 80,000 Xianbei people gathered at Yanmen Pass, seeming to want to swallow the pass in front of them in one fell swoop. Zhou Yi, the guard of Yanmen Pass, reported the emergency to Yanmen Prefect Ding Yi and Bingzhou Mu Dingtai.
Ding Tai prepared his troops and horses, preparing to move closer to the Yanmen Pass area to resist Xianbei. Ding Tai did not have much ability, but he knew that if the Xianbei people entered the pass, he, the Bingzhou Shepherd, would be in trouble.
But something happened in Bingzhou, which forced Ding Tai to point his troops at Meiji. The Huns rebelled again and cooperated with the Xianbei people to invade the border. Bingzhou fell into an unprecedented crisis. The Huns cavalry was worthy of being the king of the grasslands in the past.
, the Han troops who went to quell the rebellion were beaten to a pulp by the Xiongnu.
Yanmenguang's garrison only had 3,000 people. Seeing more and more Xianbei troops gathering outside the city, Zhou Yi couldn't sleep well at night. In addition to reinforcing the city wall every day, he stood at the top of the city and kept looking into the distance.
Waiting and watching, the reinforcements from Ding Tai and Ding Yi have not yet arrived.
Half a month later, the Xianbei's 80,000-strong army completed its turn. Zhou Yi did not see Ding Tai's reinforcements, but received news of the Xiongnu chaos and the successive defeats of the Bingzhou army. Ding Yi wrote a letter saying that most of the troops had been taken away by Ding Tai and that he was powerless.
Yanmen Pass is a majestic pass for Xianbei to enter the Han territory. It has never been broken since the Xianbei uprising. The Han people are not as good as the Xianbei people in field battles, but they have endless ways to defend the city. I don’t know how many Xianbei warriors have suffered at Yanmen Pass. This majestic pass
The pass has become the biggest obstacle for the Xianbei people to ride horses in the Central Plains.
Yanmen Pass is a checkpoint on the Great Wall with dangerous terrain. "Yanmen Pass is the most majestic pass, ranking first among the 'Nine Fortresses in the World'".
Standing high on Gouzhu Mountain, also known as Yanmen Mountain, has been regarded as a strategic location by successive dynasties since King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States Period. By the Han Dynasty, it had become an important pass for the Han Dynasty to resist the Xiongnu. It has been repaired diligently, and to this day
, Yanmen Pass has become an important obstacle for the Xianbei people to invade the territory. If Yanmen Pass is not broken, the great mountains and rivers of the Central Plains can only be seen in the mirror. The Xianbei have repeatedly invaded the Han territory, and Yanmen Pass is a key target of care.
Looking at Yanmen Pass, Murong Feng of the Chinese army felt helpless. The six-foot-high city wall, built on Yanmen Mountain, was like a big hand, firmly holding back the progress of the Xianbei cavalry.
It’s the last day of the strong wind. As for Cliff, I am a handicapped person and my typing is too slow. The updates in the past few days have taken up most of the time during the holidays.
