Hanoi County was the hinterland of the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States Period. In later generations, it was the Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, and Hebi areas of Henan Province. It was part of the North China Plain and had a large area of fertile land. In the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of this county alone was close to one million.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion and the melee between princes, the population of Hanoi County has dropped sharply, almost to the point where there is almost no one left. Whether it is business, agriculture, people's livelihood and population, they have all suffered a devastating blow.
The initial Yellow Turban Rebellion did not have a great impact on Hanoi County, because Sili's Yellow Turbans were reported to Tang Zhou before they started the uprising and died prematurely, which did not pose a threat to Sili.
What really had an impact on Hanoi County was Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Not only was Dong Zhuo causing harm to Hanoi, but the soldiers and horses of various princes were also plundering everywhere, causing Hanoi's people to wither and become a mess.
Fortunately, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, played with fire and burned himself. In order to search for the money valley, he tortured many wealthy families in Hanoi and forced them to pay money and food. Chen Mu was involved and killed him. Hanoi County fell into the hands of the Qingzhou Army. Zhao Yun was appointed as the prefect of Hanoi.
Together with his subordinate Han Hao, he organized the farming affairs.
Over the years, Sili has gradually stabilized. There were a large number of refugees in the Taihang Mountains in the north. Inspired by the court's propaganda, they returned to Hanoi. Bingzhou has been repeatedly attacked by Xiutu tribes in recent years. Except for the two counties of Shangdang in Taiyuan, all other counties
fell into the hands of barbarians.
As a result, the Han people moved south, some settled in Shangdang, Taiyuan, some in Hedong, and some returned to Hanoi, which was relatively stable and had a lot of idle land. The court was recruiting a large number of refugees to reclaim the land. As a result, Hanoi slowly recovered.
Zhu Jun and Chen Mu led an army of 10,000 people and crossed the river from Xiaopingjin Ferry, passing through Heyang, Wenxian, Pinggao, Huaixian and other places, which later became Jiaozuo and Xinxiang.
It was relatively stable, and with the emperor at his feet, Liu Yu paid attention to people's livelihood, and the situation was very good. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and farming was busy in the summer.
After passing Gongxian County, the situation suddenly became different. In the hot summer, soldiers and horses were everywhere near the foot of Luchang Mountain. Many dilapidated villages on the plain were uninhabited, and the fields were deserted and overgrown with weeds.
In the distance, by the Qishui River, the forest is lush and lush, except for the smell of human habitation.
In the same county, the countryside close to Luoyang is very prosperous, while the countryside close to Wei County is in ruins. Most of them are like military bases, with various sentries, forts, beacons, etc., and the fertile land is
It would be a pity to leave it abandoned like this.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Wei Jun is right next to it, and the two sides, as hostile forces, will start a war at any time. Therefore, it is unreasonable to develop people's livelihood here. Maybe it will just start to improve, and it will be destroyed by the war again.
Therefore, in the northeastern part of Hanoi, only militarized control can be implemented, while in the southwest part, which is relatively stable, it is natural to develop people's livelihood management and provide a steady stream of food and grass for the frontline troops.
Zhong Yao got off the bus in Huai County, where he would start work at the grain and grass transfer station. Zhu Jun and Chen Mu continued north, passed Luchang Mountain, and arrived at Chaoge County.
As the capital of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge was more like a nameless small county at this time. The city was not big and not high, but there was a large area of fertile land outside the city. Unlike Gong County, which was completely deserted, Chaoge The land outside Songcheng is cultivated.
On the official road to the west, Chen Mu was slightly behind Zhu Jun by half a body, patrolling around. Because all he saw along the long stretch from Gongxian County to the south of Luchang Mountain was a dilapidated scene, he suddenly found that There were actually fields and villages near Chaoge County, which surprised everyone.
Several small villages along the way are located in an orderly manner on the plains in the distance. There are many cavalrymen passing messages, and there are sentries standing guard around them. The people in the villages are not overly concerned about this new army. Shockingly, most of the people here are old, weak, women and children, and most of the people working in the fields are older. Dogs are barking, chickens are crowing, and cows are mooing. It's a peaceful and contented farmhouse scene.
At the end of the official road is the towering Chaoge County Town. It is very quiet near the town, as if only the chirping of birds among the treetops of the forest outside the city is left. Occasionally, one or two lone black pigs can be seen in the mud courtyard. The soldiers drooped their ears and raised their long beaks under the courtyard wall, snoring for food. The army passed by the official road quietly without disturbing the people.
The first person to come over to greet him was Han Hao, the captain of Diannong School. He was supervising the work in the fields. When he heard that the imperial army had arrived, he immediately came to greet him. However, before Han Hao arrived, dozens of cavalrymen suddenly ran out of Chaoge County in the distance. The horse is an unblemished white horse, with a silver-armored general riding on it.
After Han Hao noticed that Zhao Yun had come out to greet him, he stopped at the edge of the field and did not go over. Zhu Jun also stretched out his hand to signal the army to stop. Until Zhao Yun came over, Han Hao joined Zhao Yun's team, and the group left the army. After about ten steps, he dismounted and walked over.
"The last general Zhao Yun."
"Last General Han Hao."
"See Taiwei, Shaofu."
The two of them knelt down on one knee and saluted in military style.
Zhu Jun was sitting on the horse. The old man's beard was gray but like a needle. He trembled when he spoke and said in a deep voice: "Get up."
"only!"
The two stood up, and Zhao Yun said: "Please invite the Taiwei Shaofu to enter the city. The city is small, and the army can camp outside the city."
"Lead the way."
Zhu Jun then said to the lieutenants Zhong Ji, Wang Zifu and others around him: "You lead the army to camp and settle down."
Zhong Ji and Wang Zifu were both old men in the court. In their early years, they followed Lu Zhi to pacify the Yellow Turbans. Later they returned to the court and were still captains of the Northern Army. As a result, Huangfu Song led the Northern Army to conquer Han Sui. After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Huangfu Song was ordered to do so by Dong Zhuo. He was deceived into going to Luoyang, imprisoned and tortured to death.
From then on, the Northern Army was recruited by Dong Zhuo, and Zhong Ji and Wang Zifu also became part of the Manchu civil and military personnel who were moved to Chang'an. They did not return until Chen Mu led the army to besiege Chang'an and rescued all the officials.
It turns out that the five captains of the Northern Army, Wu Fu, Bao Hong, Wu Lan, Wang Zifu and Zhong Ji, Wu Fu tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was killed. Bao Hong was punished by Huang Wan as early as the end of Emperor Xiaokang of the Han Dynasty for embezzling military pay. He was impeached and executed. Wu Lan died of illness a few years ago. Now only Zhong Ji and Wang Zifu are left in the Northern Army, both of whom are over fifty years old.
In history, the two of them would participate in the Yidai Edict and conspire to kill Cao Cao, but they were killed because the matter was exposed. But now that Cao Cao has lost the ability to threaten the emperor and order the princes, naturally such a thing will not happen. Now the two have been He was appointed Zhonglang General, served as Zhu Jun's deputy, and accompanied the army on expeditions.
After arranging the army, Zhu Jun, Chen Mu and their personal guards entered Chaoge City under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Han Hao. Chaoge originally belonged to the front line. Later, after Lu Bu fled from Dangyin, Guan Yu led his army north to regain Dangyin. Lin Li As well as being close to Liyang County and other places, it shocked Yedu.
Therefore, Yuan Shao gave up his personal pursuit of Gongsun Zan and came back to defend overnight. From then on, Chaoge became the rear area, while the front lines of Linli, Dangyin and Liyang became a war zone where Luoyang and Yuan's army saw each other and faced each other.
The group entered the city and arrived at the county government mansion. Zhu Jun was sitting high in the hall. Zhao Yun apologized to him and said: "Taiwei, the imperial edict was issued a few days ago. The former general originally sent his junior general to Gongxian County to greet him, but he had no choice but to go to Gongxian County yesterday to greet him. There was an invasion by Yuan's army in the Liyang area, and General Mo led his army to repel it. He just came back today and will not have time to greet him in the future. I would like to ask the Lieutenant Commander Haihan."
"oh?"
Zhu Jun had the power to record affairs as a minister, but he also knew that there were constant frictions on the border and small-scale wars and harassment from both sides from time to time, so he didn't pay attention to it. He waved his hand and said: "It's a small matter, but it doesn't matter. I read the official documents from the imperial court before and knew that you are here. It’s very hard, there are wars every three days, I don’t know what to do now?”
This is asking Zhao Yun to report on the current battle situation.
Zhao Yun explained the situation of the current confrontation between the two sides. He was guarding Chaoge at this time, and asked Han Hao to camp in the fields near Chaoge to raise his army, while also radiating to Liyang in the east, so as to threaten Weijun in Jizhou from the right.
Zhu Jun and Chen Mu walked along the way and saw a deserted area south of Luchang Mountain, but the area near Chaoge was in full swing because it was a place for farming.
In fact, the soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun were not the elite of Luoyang's army, but just some second-line troops and local defenders.
Historically, Cao Cao's farming system was highly praised, and it was believed that it was the farming system that solved the food crisis in the north.
But what we need to know is what is the farming system.
The so-called farming system was actually a serf system. Cao Cao obtained hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and let them farm the land. Then, in addition to ensuring the basic survival of these people, all the proceeds had to be turned over to Cao Cao.
Does this system sound familiar?
What is a big landowner?
This is.
Those who are farmed are no different from slaves. They have no private property of their own. They work all day long and their life and death are in the hands of others. After their hard work, there is no reward. They just starve themselves to death, that's all.
So don't think that the farming system is very good. It's just that in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, it was good to be able to survive with a stutter. The question of whether people have human rights and whether they are slaves or not is another matter.
When the Luoyang court was first established, a food crisis broke out in Sili, so Zhao Yun had to listen to Han Hao's advice and also develop the farming system.
The only difference between Zhao Yun and Cao Cao is that Cao Cao was a lifelong serf, while Zhao Yun asked the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army to conduct short-term farming, which was essentially a cyclical alternation. This stimulated the work efficiency of the White Wave Army and the Black Mountain Army and gave hope to those engaged in the farming system.
The Baibo Army originated from the Baibo Valley in Hedong. They were mostly refugees from Bingzhou and Hedong, with a crowd of 2 to 30,000, of which the majority were young, old, women and children. After the Kwantung Army incorporated the Baibo Army, Guan Yu selected the elite among them as front-line combat troops and placed them there. The remaining family members worked in Hanoi to solve the food crisis in Sili.
After several years of farming, according to the original agreement with the Baibo Army, after five years of farming, these fields will become the permanent land of the farmers. Therefore, most of the family members of the Baibo Army are no longer engaged in the farming system, and the Baibo Army has also become Defender of interests.
Some are like the military towns in the Song and Ming Dynasties. The families of soldiers in the military towns camped on the border on a large scale. In a few years, the families of these soldiers will obtain these fields. In order to protect their families and their own private property, the soldiers must fight the enemy desperately.
When the Baibo Army becomes the defender of interests, the new farm personnel will become the Black Mountain Army. Some people may wonder, haven't the Black Mountain Army already surrendered to the imperial court? Why will they still become the imperial serfs?
But we must know that the Black Mountain Army is not Zhang Yan's group.
The Black Mountain Army originated from the Black Mountain Mountains in Hanoi, which is the remnant of the southern Taihang Mountains. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after the Jizhou Yellow Turbans were destroyed in Zhangjiao, almost all of them began to move to the Taihang Mountains. Twenty or thirty forces, large and small, were distributed throughout the entire Among the Taihang Mountains.
These remnants of the Yellow Turbans are distributed from the Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Wei County, and Shangdang County in Jizhou, and continue to Hanoi County. The entire Taihang Mountains are full of Black Mountain troops.
According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", the total population of the Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains reached one million.
Zhang Yan is just the largest force among them, with a population of nearly 200,000 to 300,000 and an army of 780,000 or 80,000. Although they surrendered to the imperial court, there are still more than 20 forces entrenched in the Taihang Mountains and have not surrendered to Luoyang. imperial court.
Therefore, the north of Hanoi has always been unstable. The Black Mountain Army often went south to rob the people. For this reason, Guan Yu sent Xu Huang to station in Linlu and Dahao Mountain areas to fight with the Montenegro Army there. He captured and surrendered the Montenegrin Army and recruited them into the army. , the old, weak, women and children's families arranged to work in the fields to replace the original Baibo Army.
Zhao Yun previously led the families of the Baibo Army to farm in Gong County, Ji County and other places. After Guan Yu regained Linlu Dangyin, he led the families of the Black Mountain Army to farm in Chaoge. The men he led were also the original Black Mountain Army. In total, There are 12,000 people, including generals Han Hao, Luo Pingan, Li Lan, and the original generals of the Black Mountain Army, Tao Sheng, Wulu, etc., who often fight against Yuan's army in Liyang.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the current situation in Chaoge area and Zhao Yun's side.
After talking about the situation on his side, Zhao Yun told Zhu Jun and Chen Mu what happened on Guan Yu's front line.
Since Guan Yu regained Danyinlinlu and other places, his troops threatened Liyang, Neihuang and Fanyang areas, which are less than 200 miles away from Ye. This shocked Yuan Shao, so he hurriedly returned to Wei Commandery, at the border between the two sides, that is, In later generations, a large number of soldiers and horses were deployed around Anyang City.
Many people in later generations thought that Anyang was Yecheng. In fact, Yecheng was located about 30 kilometers north of Anyang and closer to Cixian County. Therefore, it can only be said that Yecheng was within the territory of Anyang, but it was not on the original site.
Since there was no city nearby at that time, it was a wilderness, and it was too close to Ye City. It only took one day to reach the city of Ye Capital, so Yuan Shao simply settled here, which would become the urban area of Anyang City in later generations, by the Huanshui River.
A city was rebuilt, and a large number of defense facilities such as fortresses, trenches, and camps were built.
This city and defense facilities had actually been planned and built for a long time, and were almost completed when Lu Bu was guarding Dangyin. It was not until Guan Yu regained Dangyin and then led his army northward to conquer Wei County in one fell swoop that he brought it into full play.
It had its due role in repelling Guan Yu's several attacks.
With Yuan Shao's return, the military strength of Wei County was strengthened, and Guan Yu had to withdraw his troops. But at the same time, Yuan's army also began to come out of the defense line, slowly moving towards Hanoi, increasing the strategic area, and at the farthest point, it even broke through You (
You) inner city, fight to the bottom of Dangyin city.
The two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war over hundreds of square kilometers of land between Dangyin and Anyang City. The geographical location was almost the same as the large land between Hebi City and Anyang City in later generations. These places became the center of the war between the two sides.
Judging from the course of the war, both sides had a win or a loss. Neither side launched a large-scale war. It was just a conflict that broke out when thousands of soldiers and horses were roaming on the plains. The scale of the battle losses was mostly between hundreds and thousands of people.
But judging from the results, Guan Yu's defense line has been retreating from Kuaishou to Yedu, abandoning Youli City in the middle, and returned to Dangyin City, which shows that it is already at a disadvantage.
The last news about the front line that Zhao Yun learned was that Guan Yu personally led his troops out of the city the day before yesterday to kill the soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Shao to the city. The latest news is unknown.
When Chen Mu heard that his second brother was at a disadvantage on the front line, he frowned and asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, where is Yuan's army stationed now?"
"To the north of Youli City, including Youli City, there are camps stretching for dozens of miles, with an army of no less than 100,000."
"I remember that Youli City had been destroyed a long time ago."
"Yes, it turns out that there are some ruins left and the city is gone. When Lu Bu was in Dangyin, Yuan Shao sent people to repair this place. After Lu Bu left, the former general recovered Dangyin and recast it as a city, hoping to use it as an offensive
Yuan Jun's bridgehead was unexpectedly attacked by Yuan Jun before the city was repaired, and the former general had to abandon the city."
Zhao Yun explained.
Youli City is where King Zhou imprisoned King Wen Jichang. From the Yin and Zhou Dynasties to the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than a thousand years, this place has long been dilapidated. It used to be a rural pavilion in Dangyin, and some ruins were left here in the early years.
After simple repairs, it became the pavilion of the pavilion chief.
Later, after Guan Yu regained this place, he wanted to use the special terrain of this place to serve as a buffer city for the enemy to attack Dangyin, and formed two cities alongside Dangyin, forming a dichotomy.
Unfortunately, before the casting was successful, Yuan's army came over and the city walls were not repaired. Naturally, they could not defend themselves and had to withdraw their troops.
After Guan Yu withdrew his troops, Yuan Shao occupied Youli City. He sent people to continue building the city, making Youli City a bridgehead for Yuan's army to attack Hanoi. The situation on both sides was reversed. Yuan's army gained a firm foothold and pressed forward step by step, resulting in
Guan Yu's front line is struggling and now he is at a disadvantage.
"Get the map."
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Chen Mu immediately realized something was wrong and asked Zhao Yun to bring the map.
Zhao Yun then took this map, which was drawn by graduates of the Taishan Academy of Geography in the Luoyang Army. The map, including the interlocking postures of both sides, has been marked one by one, making it simple and easy to understand.
After Chen Mu looked at it, he whispered: "If Yuan Jun is not stupid, he will definitely cut off the second brother's food and grass."
"yes."
Zhao Yun sighed and said: "In the past few months, we have been fighting for food and grass. Yuan's army often crossed Dangyin to harass me on the food road transporting food and grass to the front line. I personally led the army several times to repel them.
Now the enemy is taking more and more actions. If you cannot take back Youli City, the former general may have no choice but to withdraw his troops and retreat to Chaoge again."
The fall of Youli City was a big failure, because the Yuan army and the Luoyang army had been fighting between Danyin and Anyang. There were hundreds of square kilometers of strategic depth in between, and the straight-line distance was seventy or eighty miles. You can come to both sides.
If we go there, there is a high probability that it will only lead to a situation of criss-crossing and tug-of-war.
But after the loss of Youli City, Yuan Jun established a firm foothold with the city, like a nail embedded in the hinterland of Dangyin. Your military strength is not as good as others, and the enemy still has a city outside your city to defend, and they will suddenly attack them.
The original confrontation was broken.
As a result, Guan Yu was at a loss in advance and retreat, and instantly became a situation where he was passively beaten. After all, if Youli City was still in Guan Yu's hands, then even if the enemy wanted to attack, there would be room for maneuver in the large depth in the middle.
For example, if Yuan's army attacks outside Youli City, Dangyin and Youli City are guarding each other, and the enemy builds a camp outside the city, then the grain road in the middle may be attacked by Guan Yu's army.
Moreover, the camps are basically made of wood, and their defensive capabilities are much worse than those of the city. It is not that Guan Yu does not have Molotov cocktails in his hands. If he uses Molotov cocktails to launch a fierce attack, Yuan Jun sends people to Anyang to ask for reinforcements and reinforcements. It will take two days to get back and forth.
, the camp will have long been reduced to ruins by then.
Now that Youli City has been taken, the Molotov cocktails are of no use to the city. It naturally becomes unrealistic to capture Youli City in a short time. In this way, Yuan Shao can take advantage of his military strength and advance steadily. Even if he wants to cut off food and grass,
You have to guard against enemies in the city.
Therefore, with the fall of Youli City, Guan Yu and Yuan Jun went from attacking at the beginning, to a tug-of-war, and then turned into a passive defense. The battlefield situation took a turn for the worse. If they still find a way to recapture Youli City, it may not be long before Guan Yu can only
We can continue to retreat to Chaoge and use the Qishui defense line deployed earlier to resist.
As a veteran, Zhu Jun naturally knew this. Guan Yu's loss of geographical advantage made him look serious immediately, and said seriously: "Yun Chang is still too impatient. He should not attack Yecheng rashly. He should take steps to build a good defense line first."
It’s the best policy.”
Chen Mu shook his head and said: "Lieutenant, there is no point in talking about this now. The top priority now is to find a way to help my second brother take back Youli City. Otherwise, Yuan's army will soon turn from a tug of war to an offensive. "
"The enemy has occupied Youli City, and their troops have begun to surround Dangyin and are heading towards Chaoge. If we go there now, we may be attacked by the enemy halfway."
Zhu Jun said: "For the sake of stability, I think it is better to mobilize all the troops and cooperate with Yun Chang to withdraw from Dangyin."
Chen Mu looked at the map carefully, pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is Lin Liu still in our hands?"
Zhao Yun nodded: "Xu Huang leads eight thousand troops and is stationed here."
Chen Mu suddenly laughed and said softly: "If that's the case, it would be easy. Linli is in the valley and surrounded by mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If our army is dispatched to attack Youli City, Yuan Shao will definitely send reinforcements to rescue, and Anyang will be empty by then. If Xu Huang goes south along the Huan River to attack Anyang and cut off his retreat, the front line will be shaken."
Zhao Yun said: "The young man didn't know something. Yuan Jun knew that Xu Huang was stationed in Linli, so he blocked the exit of the valley. We could only transport grain and grass to Linli County through Baixingkou in the north of Gongxian County and through Wuxing Mountain. , Xu Huang and Yuan Jun each occupy a valley entrance, and it is difficult to break through the siege and attack Anyang."
"You do not understand."
Chen Mu smiled and said: "I am very familiar with this place. From Linli Mountain behind Linliu, you can enter Bingzhou Hukou Pass. Hukou Pass connects Baixingkou and Fukouxing. From here, you can detour to Shexian County. When I was in I have ambushed Xu Rong in Longfeng Valley, so I know a lot about Erxing and some of the Wuxing Mountain trails."
"But after coming out of Fukouxing, we reach Wu'an County. We have to take a detour to Handan, which is very far away, and we have to pass through countless valleys on the way. There are a large number of Montenegrin troops entrenched. If we are not careful, we will be ambushed by the Montenegrin army. I'm afraid It’s hard to accomplish anything.”
Zhao Yun put forward different opinions.
Chen Mu said: "I didn't say go to Fukouxing. I remember that there is an ancient mountain road to the east of the watershed to the north of Linlu. It is located in the southern mountains of Zhangshui. If you can find Zhang Yan and use his help to pass the ancient road, why not avoid it? Have you passed Yuan's defense line and reached the upper reaches of Huan River?"
Linli County was Linzhou City in later generations. It was surrounded by valleys on all sides. The entrance to the valley on the east side was controlled by people sent by Yuan Jun and Xu Huang. Neither party could enter and the other could not exit.
But Linlu County is not just an exit to the east. It is connected to Baixingkou, one of the eight branches of Taihang, to the south, and can be entered through Gongxian, which is Huixian in later generations, through the Taihang Mountains. To the north, it is connected to Fukouxing. After passing Hukou Pass and entering the territory of Bingzhou, you can then go around to the territory of Handan of Zhao State in the rear area of Jizhou.
These roads have been explored as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Many battles, including the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Jingxing, were fought nearby. But in addition to the most famous Baxing, there are countless criss-crossing paths in the Taihang Mountains. There are trails extending in all directions and Hu Valley in the mountains.
The reason why the Black Mountain Army was able to last for so long and did not cease its activities until the Cao Wei Dynasty was that it occupied these trails and the Hu Valley in the mountains. There were some valleys and plain areas that could be cultivated, thrived, and built a large number of villages.
When fighting near the Taihang Mountains, one must be familiar with the countless such trails in the Taihang Mountains. Chen Mu did not dare to talk about other places, but he was still sure about the areas near Fukouxing and Baixingkou.
Because he had ambushed Xu Rong in Longfeng Mountain in the early years, Longfeng Mountain was connected to Linli County. The most important thing is that the southeast of Longfeng Mountain is only more than ten kilometers away, which is the later Fengfeng Mining Area, and to the south is the Yuecheng Reservoir, and then It's Anyang City. He is very familiar with the surrounding terrain and knows some mountain trails.
certainly.
It is not ruled out that Yuan Shao also knows.
It's just that the real king in the Taihang Mountains is not the Luoyang Army or the Yuan Army, but the Black Mountain Army.
Whoever can control this third force will be able to dominate this place.
And it happened that Zhang Yan defected to the imperial court again...
At this time, Zhang Yan happened to be active in the area of Zhao Kingdom and Changshan Kingdom in the north. As the largest force in the Taihang Mountains, he occupied a very wide area and became a local snake in the Taihang Mountains.
If Zhang Yan could contribute, the situation in this battle would definitely be much better than imagined.
After hearing Chen Mu's analysis, Zhu Jun and Zhao Yun both looked at each other and felt that the strategy he mentioned was not completely unreasonable.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Jun asked a soul torture question.
