Zhang Yan looked at Xu You and said with a disdainful smile: "To me, Yuan Shao is a foreign enemy. Do you mean to let me resist him?"

Since Bingzhou was captured by Cao Ang, Zhang Yan did not dare to go to Bingzhou to fight the autumn wind.

After all, Cao Jun's cavalry did not deserve their fame in vain.

Therefore, they can only plunder food and property at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou. As for women... there are already a lot of people in their mountains. They are not interested in ordinary women, there are them in the mountains. As for ladies, they don't dare to bump.

It is precisely because of this so-called "principle" that they have not had any major problems over the years.

The state herdsman and the state governor didn't want to be in this mess, and the county guards and magistrates didn't have much ability to suppress the bandits, so the Montenegrin army was happy and contented.

As a result, at this time, Xu You came over and asked them to resist foreign enemies. Isn't this a happy joke?
Zhang Yan looked at Xu You and continued: "Over the years, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu of Youzhou have been fighting fiercely. Gongsun Zan finally gained the upper hand, but Yuan Shao crossed paths again."

"You are attacking yourselves. We, the Montenegrin Army, don't care about anyone. In these troubled times, we just want to survive. We haven't offended anyone. How could there be foreign enemies?"

After Xu You listened to Zhang Yan's words, he smiled disdainfully and said loudly: "You are a short-sighted person, I don't think you can achieve anything big!"

Hearing Xu You's contemptuous words, Zhang Yan immediately became angry: "You are looking for death!"

Zhang Yan roared angrily and planned to have Xu You dragged down and killed.

But before he could speak, Xu You said first, "Don't you even understand the principle of loyal words that are harsh to the ears?"

Zhang Yan's face turned aside when she heard this. For so many years, he has been criticized for his humble background and lack of knowledge.

Hearing Xu You's words, Zhang Yan's face changed and she snorted coldly: "Okay, then you should tell me, what advice do you have?"

Xu You did not answer Zhang Yan's words, but asked first: "Do you know that Cao Jun has already taken action against my lord and Gongsun Zan?"

Zhang Yan was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head: "I don't know, what does this have to do with me?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Xu You was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Do you think, with Cao Ang's ability, your Black Mountain Army can still survive when he takes over Jizhou and Youzhou?"

"When that time comes, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are all under the control of the Cao Group. The Black Mountain where you are located is located in the middle of the three states. Do you think Cao Cao and Cao Ang and his son will ignore you?"

Zhang Yan frowned, obviously still not understanding what Xu You meant.

"Even if Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao lose, then Han Fu and Liu Yu have the final say in Jizhou and Youzhou. If they don't want to cause trouble, they will definitely not take action against our Black Mountain Army."

Zhang Yan waved her hand: "Although our Montenegrin Army is made up of rebels, our individual abilities may not be as good as your regular army, but with more people and more ants, we can kill an elephant."

"How many ants kill the elephant? You are really naive. If my lord and Gongsun Zan are defeated, then Liu Yu and Han Fu will become the lackeys of Cao Cao and Cao Ang."

"The two of them are said to be the governor of a state and the shepherd of a state, but they don't have much ability. They can only rely on Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son. If Cao Ang really concentrates on dealing with you, how long can your Black Mountain Army hold on? ?”

Zhang Yan smiled when he heard this: "If Cao Ang really wants to attack me, then I will surrender. With so many people under my command, he must give me some face, right?"

Xu You looked at Zhang Yan's appearance and laughed loudly again.

It was just Xu You's laughter that made Zhang Yan feel very uncomfortable: "What are you laughing at?" "I laughed at you for being too naive!" Xu You stopped laughing and said with a cold face: "With that Cao Ang's Xingzi will never let a rebel army like you exist under his rule."

"When he comes to attack you, it will be too late. He will not kill those refugees, but you, the bandit leader of the Montenegrin Army, are destined to die, because you are committing a major crime of rebellion!"

After listening to Xu You's words, Zhang Yan's expression completely froze.

Although he had not read the book, he still knew that the rebels would be beheaded.

For a moment, Zhang Yan was at a loss.

"This...how should this be done?"

Xu You looked at the slightly panicked Zhang Yan, stroked his beard proudly, and then said, "I have a way to save the general."

"Sir, please tell me quickly." When Zhang Yan heard Xu You's words, she seemed to be grasping at straws, and her tone was extremely respectful.

Xu You looked at Zhang Yan's appearance and said with a faint smile: "Unite my lord and Gongsun Zan to fight against Cao's army!"

"This..." Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

If he does not send troops, no matter whether Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao win or lose, he will face an encirclement and suppression by the regular army after the war, and his only choice will be death.

But if he sends troops, there is still a glimmer of hope. As long as he helps Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan repel Cao's army, then he can rely on this contribution to become a legitimate Black Mountain Army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan slapped the table: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will send troops to support Governor Yuan and General Gongsun!"

Although the Montenegro Army claims to have millions of soldiers, there are many old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children among them. In fact, only 30 people can go to the battlefield, less than one-third of the total number.

But even so, this is a force that cannot be underestimated.

The Heishan Army went all the way south and opened a road from Heishan to Wei County.

Xu You knew that a war was imminent, so he asked Zhang Yan to lead troops to support, and he led a group of Black Mountain troops to escort grain and grass and followed the large army.

These 30 people, plus Yuan Shao's 10 people, and Yuan Tan's 8 people, all require a huge amount of food and grass.

It's just that Yuan Shao was cut off from the source of food and grass, so this food and grass could only be obtained by Zhang Yan.

It is also Zhang Yan who has carefully managed the Black Mountain Army for so many years.

The food and grass shipped this time is enough to feed more than 40 people for the first half of the year!
……

On the battlefield of Wei County, Cao Ang looked at the flag in the distance and frowned: "This flag belongs to the Black Mountain Army. I didn't expect that Yuan Shao would collude with this rebel army!"

Looking at the crowd of men and horses, Cao Ang knew that there was no way to determine the outcome of this battle, so he directly ordered the withdrawal. (End of chapter)
