Chapter 1571 The Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's Curtain [-] ([-]-character chapter)

"Zhang Yan?" Hearing the words, the young man squinted his eyes slightly, and raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth: "When Hebei was strong, the Black Mountain Army could only hide in the ravines, but now, it has a place to fight! "

Chaos is imminent in Hebei.

Looking at Hebei, including Zhou's courtiers, few people believed that Yuan Shao could conquer the Central Plains. Yuan Shao was already at the end of his battle, and now he was more of a dying struggle.

Once Yuan Shao defeated Guandu, it would be the time of turmoil in Hebei.

It doesn't even need to wait until Yuan Shao's defeat, as long as the Yan army in the north breaks through Julu, Hebei will be in complete chaos. During the turmoil, all parties will fish in troubled waters.

At this time, any force that can control the ownership of Hebei will be the target of wooing, including the Montenegro Army.

The influence of the Black Mountain Army in Hebei is not low. Zhongshan and Changshan are the base camps of the Black Mountain Army and have a huge influence on the local people.

Winning over the Montenegrin Army will have a force inside Hebei. When the time comes, the inside and outside will cooperate to take Hebei, and it will really be a piece of cake.

"Master Commander!"

The treasurer of the cloth shop said respectfully: "It would be no surprise if the north side recruited Zhang Yan. After all, the north side and Zhang Yan had joined forces once, but the people around Zhang Yan came back with news. Zhang Yan not only met the northern envoy , and secretly met with the envoy of King Wei!"

"Zhang Yan is quite courageous!"

Hearing the words, the young man's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then I'm curious, is he facing the north or the Central Plains? This is a bargaining chip related to the future of Hebei!"

"I can't see it yet!"

The shopkeeper whispered: "But one person may be the key!"

"Who?"

"Gongsun Xu!"

"Gongsun Zan's son?" The young man's eyes lit up, "Why did they mix together!"

"After Liu Bei moved into Youzhou, he disappeared. Later, I found out that he went directly to Montenegro, and Zhang Yan valued him very much!"

"There is a trace!" The young man laughed, and said, "Liu Bei is cutting the grass but not the root!"

"He may not dare to get rid of it!"

The shopkeeper told the young man, "After all, many of his subordinates were Gongsun Zan's generals!"

"Zhang Yan, Gongsun Xu?" The young man pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did Gongsun Xu reveal his intentions?"

"It's for King Wei!"

The shopkeeper said: "He has been actively contacting Wei Wang's envoys to persuade Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan himself does not know where he should lean at this time. After all, this is not a simple surrender, but a surrender. Although the Black Mountain Army has some troops, And there is also the basic support of the Yellow Turban Army back then. Although the combat power is not weak, it can only assist at best, and cannot fight the main force. "

Marching and fighting is not such a simple matter. Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army, was originally named Chu Feiyan. He was originally a knight-errant. There are many people, but there is no reason to strengthen the army.

The terrain of Montenegro is dangerous, and the Tibetan people can hide a lot. Those are the Yellow Turban people who were sheltered under the Montenegro Army. The Black Mountain Army has combat power, but it has no foundation, and it is impossible to retake Hebei.

At this time, Zhang Yan had no other way other than surrender. Even if he still wanted to hide in the mountains, he might not be able to hide. It's almost consumed by him, he has to come out.

Who to surrender to is a key choice.

"Then keep an eye on it!"

A bright light flashed in the young man's eyes: "Speaking of the Yellow Turban Army, Taiping said, in fact, we are the orthodox. It's fine if Zhang Yan can't win over him, and His Majesty may not be able to tolerate him, but the Yellow Turban generals under his command, Taiping Dao master, you can try to win over!"

It is no secret that the Mu family was born in the Yellow Turban, and it has not affected Mu Jing's current status. After becoming famous, everything before is just some talk of countless people, and it is even more legendary.

Concubine Ning was the Holy Maiden of Peace back then. If it is orthodox, there are not many Taiping Dao in the world who can make her more orthodox.

Even though the great virtuous teacher has passed away for many years, Taipingdao still respects him as the spirit. Zhang Ning's status is naturally respected by many Taipingdao elders.

Back then, Zhang Ning fled Taiping Mountain and left Hebei, more because of Zhang Yan's seizure of power, and the civil strife in Taipingdao that she didn't want to see didn't mean that no one supported her.

"If Concubine Ning is here, maybe..."

The cloth shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice.

His name is Yao Feng, Yao Congliang, Hebei Town Banner Envoy of Jingwu Division, a native of the Taiping Divine Guard, a native of the Central Plains, grew up in Hebei, a Taiping Daoist, and his identity is impeccable.

This Hebei Jingwu Division has been in charge of him personally for many years. He has never made any mistakes and is cautious. He is a very, very cautious person.

As the Taiping Divine Guard, he naturally knew that Zhang Ning still had status in Montenegro today.

"Don't even think about it, Concubine Ning!"

The young man is naturally the commander of Jingwu Division Tan Zong. Tan Zong is a person who can't be idle. Hebei is so chaotic. If he doesn't come to mix in the excitement, he won't be Tan Zong.

He smiled, and the smile was obviously a little sinister: "Your Majesty will not allow it, and even if it comes, it will not be of much use. There may be people who miss the past, but after so many years, if Zhang Yan still can't control it, then he won't let it go." He deserves to be the lord of the Black Mountain, how could he be incapable of seizing the power of the Taiping Dao and controlling the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army back then!"

"It is!"

Yao Feng said softly: "Master Da Xianliang valued him very much before he was alive, and took him in as a foster son, but he didn't expect him to be so heartless. In order to inherit the way of peace, he even wanted to forcefully marry the saint, forcing the saint to marry him." I have to escape from Taiping Mountain, this person is not only ambitious, but also has extraordinary ability, otherwise Taipingdao would not have been dispatched by him these years, as far as I know, there are still many masters in Taipingdao!"

Taiping Dao, with Taoism as its belief, has been passed down for many years. It can only be regarded as a loose organization in the world, but in the hands of Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher, it has flourished.

Relying on his belief in Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao directly set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which almost overturned the whole world. Although he lost, he was glorious.

Similarly, it also shows the background of Taiping Dao. In terms of masters, Taiping Dao has always been the strongest. Even the Tianshi Dao in the southwest is not as good as Taiping Dao.

Even though the Taiping Dao has fallen, there is still some strength. These years, Zhang Yan was able to stabilize the Black Mountain front and preserve his own Black Mountain Army. The Taiping Dao contributed a lot.

"never mind!"

Tan Zong thought for a while, and said: "Contacting them at this time will expose us instead. Now that Hebei is in turmoil, the Black Mountain Army has become a very critical link. Too many people are staring at Zhang Yan. We should keep a low profile, otherwise we will It always feels a little dangerous!"

"The commander means that someone is looking for us?" Yao Feng's pupils changed color slightly.

Jing Wusi hid very deeply, but it is impossible to have no trace at all. One side cannot find them, but if someone cooperates, there is a chance to find them.

"Normal!"

Tan Zong shrugged and said calmly: "Although our Ming army is not out of the border, it is still a serious problem for the world. Even if His Majesty gave them three years to develop, I think they can't rest assured. Keep an eye on us at this time. Every move is an inevitable thing, Yecheng at this time is already turbulent, if there is an unknown force, can you not doubt our Jing Wusi!"

Over the years, Jing Wusi has been well-known, the king of the dark, the vane of the spy war, many people have suffered from them, so naturally guard against them.

"That's right!" Yao Feng smiled wryly: "Jing Wusi's reputation is too great, so he has become the target. The spies of all the princes will target us first no matter what they do!"

"We still have things to do. As for Zhang Yan, let him go first. There will be opportunities to settle accounts with him in the future. No matter which side he chooses, he will be an enemy in the future!"

Tan Zong's face was serious, and he said to Yao Feng: "Congliang, if you continue to search, if you can't find the file, you can find some old people from the past. From the first year of Chuping to now, although a lot of time has passed, some old people can still be found. , especially the old man in the State Shepherd's Mansion, I believe that the person we want must still be here in Ye City, it's because he's hidden deep!"

"Why is the Commander so sure?" Yao Feng frowned: "I've been searching for a long time, but there is no trace. If he is really in the city, it is impossible for him to disappear so cleanly!"

"Here is a memorandum, it is the first year of Chuping, a memorandum of a civil servant in the prefecture's mansion, take a look!"

Tan Zong handed a dossier to Yao Feng.

"The first year of Chuping, the year Yuan Shao moved into Yecheng!" Yao Feng looked at the file, it was a very simple file, it just recorded some changes before and after the state pastoral mansion, all of which he already knew. No surprises.

However, there is one thing that is worth seeing.

This may also be the reason why Tan Zong let him watch it.

This article just said that several guards and cooks in the mansion suddenly disappeared. These people are relatively insignificant, so even if they are recorded, no one cares.

But if it was arranged by someone with a heart, then there would be a problem, where did the disappearing people go.

"If Han Fu had already made arrangements, then..." Yao Feng gradually understood: "Then his arrangements can only be made in this city of Ye, and there is nothing safer than darkness under the lights, as long as the luck is not bad." , Yecheng is so big, hiding a person is still very simple!"

"Han Fu can be regarded as a hero of the generation, but he was restrained by the Yuan family's friendship back then, so he couldn't be cruel. If he punished Yuan Shao when he entered Bohai, I'm afraid there will be nothing later, even if he is more careful. , Yuan Benchu ​​wants Hebei, there is no such easy thing!"

Tan Zong said in a low voice: "However, since Yuan Shao has already killed the city of Ye, he should have realized something in his heart. He should be clear in his heart that once Yuan Shao takes control of Hebei, the Han family will be like chickens and dogs, so he must Some arrangements!"

"The commander is so sure, maybe Han Fu thinks Yuan Shao won't do this, and he might not have time?" Yao Feng frowned.

"Han Fu won't be so naive!"

Tan Zong said affirmatively: "And a father, even if he doesn't think about himself, he will also think about his children. If Liu Yan, who you saw before he died, asked for a way out for his children, he would not hesitate to bow down to His Majesty." , Admit defeat, lose the fame of the first life, you should imagine that some fathers are very great, and Han Fu is the same, he will definitely make arrangements!"

"Even so, the city of Ye is not small, and it is difficult to find someone out of this vast crowd!"

Yao Feng said with a wry smile.

"It is naturally difficult to find him, but there is one person who is not difficult to find. Let's change our thinking!" Tan Zong narrowed his eyes, and his eyes burst out with brilliance, and said, "Pan Feng!"

"Pan Feng?"

Yao Feng said: "Isn't he dead?"

"Who saw that he was dead!" Tan Zong asked: "Although he was beheaded by Lu Bu back then, he was still alive when he was dragged back. The injury was too serious, like a disabled person!"

When Pan Feng was locked in the Hulao, he went out to fight against Lu Bu, and was defeated by Lu Bu. He was beheaded from his horse, and his life and death were unknown. After he was rescued, he disappeared without a trace.

Later there were rumors that he died in battle.

But Tan Zong checked and found that the rumor originated from Han Fu, which is interesting. He even speculated that Pan Feng was alive, but at that time Pan Feng was just a small person, and they were not enough to waste too much energy on investigation.

"Then Han Fu was beheaded by Yuan Shao in the state pastoral mansion, why didn't he show up!"

Yao Feng didn't understand.

"Is it useful to show up? At that time, even if he didn't die, he lost half of his life, but he didn't have the invincible courage. How do you know that he has no mission!" Tan Zong said: "If you are a general who is entrusted to you, he will When it lasts for a while!"

"If that's the case, this person's loyalty is well-deserved!"

Yao Feng's mastiff in a deep voice.

"Some people, you can't think of!" Tan Zongdao: "If he is alive, then if we find him, we can find the person we want to find. The orthodoxy in Hebei may not be him Yuan Benchu!"

Tracing back to the root, Yuan Shao was just a thief. He killed Han Fu before occupying Hebei. The lord of Jizhou was originally Han Fu, not Yuan Shao.

Of course, Yuan Shao's business has been deeply rooted for so many years.

But once Yuan Shao is defeated, it will be different. At that time, the prefects and county magistrates in Hebei will recognize Yuan's disciples, but it is not certain.

The direction of the people's hearts may not be the Yuan family. If the Han family is in charge of the overall situation, some of the people's hearts in Jizhou belong to the Han family.

"promise!"

Yao Feng nodded.

....................................

Changshan territory.

On a big mountain.

The tall middle-aged man stood erect, looking far ahead, looking at the houses at the foot of the mountain, his eyes were somewhat deep.

"Qu handsome!"

A young man has come over.

"Mr. Du, is there any news?"

The tall middle-aged man came back to his senses, his face darkened slightly, looked at the young man, and asked in a low voice.

"The Yan army broke through the river three days ago, and will soon march into Julu!" Du Chang is a scholar, good at strategy, one of Zhang Yan's counselors, and good at using swords, learning the swords of Taiping Wujing Fa is also a martial arts practitioner, all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and has quite a status in the Black Mountain Army.

"They once again sent people to invite us to enter Julu together!" Du Chang said: "And they promised that if they can seize Hebei, they will share Hebei with us equally, and they will also go to the court to ask for a title for us. !"

"Ha ha!"

The middle-aged man sneered: "They are all the ones who talk loudly in face and stab the knife in the back. If he doesn't do anything unnecessary, I can still trust him three points!"

Even though the Yellow Turban Rebellion has passed for so many years, the world is still full of hatred for the Yellow Turban generals. If someone wants to ask the court for their titles, that is a lie.

This is impossible.

The Yellow Turban is a traitor, and there is only one person who has been able to enter the hall of elegance these years, and that is Mu Shan, who is also the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, but Mu Shan can achieve the position of the court minister.

This is what he longs for and envies.

Unfortunately, there is only one Mushan.

The yellow turban is still the yellow turban, the big man is immortal for a day, and the yellow turbans in the world are all rebellious ministers and will not be accepted by the princes. This is why their Black Mountain Army can only be rogues and cannot become the overlord of one party.

"He is also a little sincere, willing to give us a batch of food and grass first, and then let us send troops!" Du Chang said softly: "But as the emperor's uncle, he should be more contemptuous of Qu Shuai, and most likely he wants to take advantage of him." Qu Shuai, after conquering Hebei, we may be allowed to occupy Changshan, but at most it will be like this, take a breather, maybe he will continue to attack us like Yuan Benchu!"

Rogues are rogues, and they are not to be trusted.

"Drag!"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "Julu is not so easy to fight. Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi sits in Julu, and Julu has recruited more than [-] young men. If they can't hold on, Julu has so many tall cities. If you fight one by one, you won't be able to do it in a year or two. If you want to conquer the giant deer in a short time, you have to work hard, but Liu Bei may not be willing to fight!"

"It won't last long!" Du Chang said, "Once the battle starts at Guandu, the giant deer will fight. If we don't send troops, we will be the enemy!"

"I know, but right now, I haven't made up my mind yet!"

The middle-aged man smiled wryly.

Who is he? He is Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, and the pillar of the millions of Yellow Turbans in Montenegro. One choice will determine the fate of countless people.

Zhang Yan did not dare to make a decision lightly.

In fact, he most hoped to join the Southwest Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, Ming Emperor Mujing was from the same lineage as him. On the other hand, there were also Yellow Turban Army in the Ming Army. If the Black Mountain Army joined the Ming Army, they would not be discriminated against.

only……

This is impossible.

Zhang Ning, this is an unavoidable hurdle, he doesn't dare to hand over his life to God, if Mu Jingqiu settles the score later, it will be a tragedy for him.

In addition, the Ming army can't enter Hebei now. The tens of thousands of soldiers under his command can go south to Luoyang, but the millions of people can't make it.

"Let Gongsun Xu come and see me!"

Zhang Yan thought for a while and said.

"promise!"

Du Chang nodded.

Soon a young man in battle armor came quickly, saw Zhang Yan, bowed his hands and saluted: "Meet the commander-in-chief!"

"You go and see General Jia Zhonglang!" Zhang Yan said, "I have one condition, that it must be written by King Wei himself, and I will believe it!"

"Shuai Qu has decided?" The young man showed joy.

"From now on, Montenegro should belong!"

Zhang Yan said in a low and firm voice.
