Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 338 Two Bamboo Slips
Yang Feng stood straight outside the tent, just like her vigorous figure when she left.

But it's just the same shape.

Although Yang Feng was still leaning on the wooden stick vigorously, her trembling hands clearly showed that she was now at the end of her strength.

The fiery red armor that was once well-maintained is now tattered, with most of the armor pieces falling off, and blood and dust are everywhere on it.

There were several circles of sackcloth tied around the wound on his thigh, which had already been soaked by the seeping blood, and there was some dark yellow in the reddish brown, which should be the wound suppurated.

The most miserable thing was Yang Feng's face, which was already covered with a scar obliquely, and there were several wounds in a row, including the blood left from one ear, which had scabbed and dried up long ago, making it look particularly terrifying.

Yang Feng's eyes, which were originally radiant, were dim at the moment, and she said slowly: "Feng is responsible for the entrustment of General Zhonglang."

Zhang Yan quickly said: "What is Commander Yang talking about, it's just that the enemy is cunning, so it doesn't count."

Yang Feng said bitterly: "I also ask General Zhonglang to dispatch an army and let Feng avenge this battle!"

Zhang Yan sighed: "There's no rush, let's wait until Commander Yang recovers from his injuries."

Yang Feng still wanted to talk, but he shook a few times, fell to the ground and passed out.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan shouted: "Come here! Take Commander Yang back for treatment!"

The soldiers came up and carried Yang Feng down with all their hands and feet, Zhang Yan turned around and walked back to the tent.

He dug out another tube of bamboo slips, put them together with the previous bamboo slips, and began to meditate.

If the Black Mountain Army puts all their strength into it, they might be able to drive Yuan Xi back.

But after that?
The other party has cultivated for a year or so, or even a few months, and can make a comeback!
Now Youzhou's farming is doing well, and it can support the mobilization of thousands of soldiers at any time. On the other hand, on my side, there are quite a lot of soldiers, not many can fight, and there is indeed no shortage of food.

That fierce tiger's eyes are very vicious, and the timing of sending troops is very accurate. As long as it comes again, the Black Mountain Army will not be able to survive this winter!
Taking ten thousand steps back, what if the Black Mountain Army opened up the Beikou Passage and entered Youzhou to confront the fierce tiger?

You know, there is still Jizhou watching behind it!

For Zhang Yan, if the Youzhou army is a wolf, the Jizhou army is a real tiger. Yuan Shao has already wiped out Gongsun Zan, and sooner or later he will do his best to deal with him.

He knows very well that if this continues, there is no hope of winning, so he has to make a choice.

make peace.

But who to talk to is the key. I almost copied Yuan Shao’s hometown in Yecheng. He was extremely vindictive and suspicious. There was a precedent of ambushing and killing his opponent’s generals. Zhang Yan didn’t want to end up like Qu Yi and Lu Bu. .

But Jizhou is very powerful, if he seeks refuge with a force that is hostile to Yuan Shao, Zhang Yan will not be able to please him.

Then it became a good choice to take refuge in Yuan Shao's forces.

In this way, the war with the Yuan family can be ceased, and Yuan Shao is not directly under the control of Yuan Shao, which avoids possible murder.

The two bamboo slips in front of him were sent by two parties.

Cao Cao.

Yuan Xi.

Not to mention Cao Cao, when Yuan Xi's bamboo slips were delivered to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan felt rather awkward.

On the one hand, he broke up his elite main force, and on the other hand, he came to pretend to make peace. Did he feel that he had a good temper, or was he not clear-headed?

But speaking of it, Zhang Yan regretted it a bit. When Yuan Xi was appointed governor of Youzhou, he had sent a letter to make friends with him, but Zhang Yan thought he was powerful, so he ignored him.

Of course, the reason was that Yang Feng and other leaders were extremely resistant to joining forces with the Yuan family, so Zhang Yan rejected Yuan Xi's kindness, which was also the common wish of everyone.

But time has passed, and Yuan Xi's strength in Youzhou has expanded too rapidly. Sooner or later, the Black Mountain Army will be completely overwhelmed!
Zhang Yan wasn't sure if Yuan Xi was funded by Yuan Shao behind the scenes, otherwise this would be abnormal!

Where did he get so many sophisticated weapons and ordnance?
What Zhang Yan didn't know was that, in order to deal with the Black Mountain Army, Yuan Xi drained the profits of the sea trade route for more than a year, and almost spent all of his capital in it, just to be able to make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop.

In Yuan Xi's view, money is dead, but people are alive. If you can spend money to equip more weapons and reduce the casualties of your own soldiers, it is better than storing money in the warehouse.

Zhang Yan saw Yuan Xi's promise in the bamboo slips, which is that after the truce between the two sides, the Black Mountain Army will open the Black Mountain Passage, the two sides will jointly rule Montenegro, and Youzhou will help Black Mountain to cultivate and build water conservancy roads.

Zhang Yan's face was slightly gloomy, to rule Montenegro together?This kid has too much appetite!

In contrast, the other bamboo is much more simple and sincere.

As long as Zhang Yan seeks refuge with Cao Cao, not only will the territory of Montenegro be retained, but also a large piece of land in Bingzhou will be allocated.

Comparing the two sides, it is obvious that Cao Cao's side is chosen no matter how you look at it.

But Zhang Yan was also faintly alert.

There are no benefits for no reason. If you want to get more rewards, you will naturally have to pay more.

What the Montenegro Army has to do after taking refuge in Cao Cao is to join forces on both sides, enter Hanoi, and open up the passage to Sili Hedong!

Zhang Yan thought about it, isn't this going to be an enemy of Lu Bu and Bai Bo's army?
Inside the Youzhou military tent, Guo Jia said, "I don't understand."

"If you want to negotiate peace with the Black Mountain Army, you can promise more generous terms. If you say it in your heart now, you will probably not agree."

"If someone else offered a higher price..."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I didn't expect him to agree."

"He really agreed, but I got a headache instead."

"How could I leave such an important place as the Montenegro Passage to others?"

Guo Jia pondered: "In that case, we can only go to a stalemate with Zhang Yan."

"He doesn't dare to leave the hinterland of Montenegro, or we will take advantage of it."

"So he will most likely agree to Cao Cao's conditions, but at the same time he will use the excuse of being attacked by the young master, so he can't spare his hands to send troops to Hanoi."

"In this case, the key lies in how Gong and Zilong go all the way, Lu Bu goes all the way, and Cao Cao goes all the way, how these three parties will deal with the Baibo bandits."

"Lu Bu's role is very important."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Exactly."

Guo Jia said: "At the beginning, the young master said that it would be better if he didn't go to see the emperor, did he mean it?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I haven't lied to you, sir."

"In this matter, it will be bad for me to go."

Guo Jia sighed: "But in this way, the young master can't take charge of the overall situation, and give the initiative to the public and He Zilong?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "I believe that they can accomplish things, just like I believe in Mr.

After hearing this, Guo Jia said angrily, "Don't flatter me, if this is the case, there will be a stalemate with the Black Mountain Army for several months."

"When I think about the lack of wine and women these days, I feel like years."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "That's pretty good too. It's okay to play Wu Qin Xi. Wouldn't it be good to keep fit?"

Guo Jia expressed contempt for Yuan Xi and went back to the camp to sleep.

The camp is full of tents, and the sergeants are carefully taking care of the ring swords in their hands.

For them, the knife is their own life, so they dare not neglect it at all.

First, wipe off the blood stains on the knife body. If the blood stains remain on the knife body, it will rust the knife body, so it should be cleaned frequently.

Then the blade is sharpened on the whetstone, and the gap on the blade from the previous battle is re-sharpened. The blade of the ring head knife is relatively thick, so it can withstand multiple grindings.

Of course, this is the case when the blade is still intact. If the blade is bent and deformed, it must be sent to the blacksmith accompanying the army for repair.

Due to limited conditions, the marching camp cannot build blast furnaces, and broken or broken weapons can only be sent back to the rear for re-melting.

But even so, the Youzhou Army, equipped with a considerable number of blacksmiths, craftsmen, and doctors, is already the best in the world, at least in terms of logistics.

Of course, this kind of approach requires a lot of financial support. Except for Jizhou and Jingzhou and other wealthy states, few can do this. Even Yuan Xi also has the support of lucrative business routes behind him.

Several sergeants were sharpening their knives, talking and making fun of each other. They were all guards of Yuan Xi and belonged to the same team.

There was a burly man with a bandage hanging on one arm, grinning his teeth while sharpening his knife awkwardly with the other hand, and said contemptuously to several others: "Usually they are brothers, and they don't help when they are injured! "

Several other people laughed when they heard this, and a dark-skinned man laughed and scolded: "Silly cow, you can't blame others. In order to attract the enemy, everyone stood on the edge of the pit to hold their bodies, but you were the only one who injured your arm." , Who else is to blame for this?"

"Speaking of which, it's a good time to practice your arm strength."

The big man named Sha Niu was angry, "You have small arms and legs, of course you need less force to support your body!"

"My body weighs more than 200 kilograms, and I have to use a lot of strength. Can this compare?"

"If you have the ability to break your wrist, let's compare!"

Seeing that everyone didn't answer, he said triumphantly, "Why, don't you dare?"

The swarthy man smiled and said, "Silly cow, being strong is a good thing, but when going into battle, it depends on killing the enemy."

"Look at our heads, we killed three more in the last battle, more than all of you combined!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to the man who had been silently sharpening his knife all this time, and the silly cow said angrily: "Who can compare with the boss, we can't learn that kind of ruthlessness."

These people consisted of fifteen people, the leader was a young man in his twenties, but he had the best martial arts skills among them.

Among the five people, he was the one who was equipped with a crossbow and a knife, and was in the center. He raised his head at this time and said calmly: "Everyone kills people together. Without you blocking me, I can't find time."

"It's agreed that the military merits will be divided equally, and then we will be promoted together."

After everyone heard this, they flattered one after another, but Silly Niu said depressedly: "Wouldn't we have to separate at that time?"

The swarthy man scolded with a smile: "You silly cow, do you still want to follow the boss for the rest of your life?"

"Who doesn't want to be promoted to be an official, honor his ancestors, he's worthless!"

The silly cow muttered: "Follow the boss, I feel very safe."

"By the way, before we set off from Beixin City, the boss wasn't so powerful. Why did he suddenly become so powerful in these few battles?"

The swarthy man smiled and said, "People are different, so you can't accept it."

Na Shichang listened, but unconsciously put his hand into his bosom, inside was a round egg.
