Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 433 The Last Battle

As soon as Yang Feng walked a few steps, he felt a little dizzy, so he had to take the stick handed over by his personal guard, and staggered towards Zhang Yan's camp.

As soon as she entered the camp, Zhang Yan stood up to greet her, "The captain has worked hard today, if not for the captain's help, the camp would have been beaten in by the Jizhou army."

On Yangfeng Road, he had already heard about the Jizhou army occupying the top of the mountain, so he asked, "Does General Zhonglang want me to take back the top of the mountain overnight?"

Zhang Yan listened, shook her head and said, "If you take it back tonight, you won't be able to hold it tomorrow."

"I came here to discuss with the captain. The Black Mountain Army has been unable to resist the Jizhou Army's offensive. I think tomorrow morning, I will retreat to the hinterland of Montenegro, and then abandon Montenegro to find a way out."

After hearing this, Yang Feng was full of bitterness. She felt bad about giving up on a place that had been in business for more than ten years, but she also understood that her personal guard team had been exhausted, and the Black Mountain Army had suffered heavy casualties. Here, it's just waiting to die.

She slowly said: "Even if you flee to Montenegro, where can you go?"

Zhang Yan said: "At any rate, I am also a general of Zhonglang personally appointed by the Han court. Today, the emperor urgently needs the support of all parties. I decided to take the remnants to Huaicheng, meet the emperor, and submit to the Han court in the name of the Black Mountain Army."

When Yang Feng heard this, a trace of disgust appeared on his face, "It was only a stopgap measure to seek refuge with the Han court back then. Now that the Han court is declining, is it necessary for us to follow to die?"

"The sky is dead long ago, there is no need for the immoral Han family to exist anymore!"

In Zhang Yan's heart, this woman is really brainless, if she doesn't take refuge in the emperor, is she still staying here waiting to die?

And what Zhang Yan couldn't say clearly was that on the surface, he wanted to take refuge in the emperor, but in fact, he secretly voted for Cao Cao!
Cao Cao promised Zhang Yan a very generous condition, and what Zhang Yan has to do is to gain the trust of the emperor, take the remaining Black Mountain Army to garrison Huaicheng, and help Cao Cao secretly deal with Lu Bu and other forces!
But Zhang Yan didn't say these words to Yang Feng, because Zhang Yan didn't want to share the benefits with Yang Feng equally. After all, the other party's status in Taiping Dao was very high, what if he overwhelmed him in the future?
Moreover, Zhong Yao, who was sent by Cao Cao, had an obvious intention to give up Yang Feng!
In fact, Zhang Yan didn't know Yang Feng's attitude towards Cao Cao at this time. If he knew, he might have taken other measures.

On that day, Yang Chou was ordered by Cao Cao to establish contact with Heishan. One line was Yang Feng, and the other line was Zhang Yan.

I have to say that Yang Chou did a very good job. Not only did he get the Black Mountain Army and Cao Cao on the line, but he also convinced Yang Feng that Cao Cao was the most suitable heir to the way of peace.

But this kind of thing did not reach Cao Cao's ears in time, and Yang Chou was shot to death by Yuan Xi.

In this way, the relationship established through Yang Chou was broken, and neither Cao Cao nor Zhang Yan knew about it. In fact, Yang Feng was still somewhat biased towards Cao Cao.

What Zhang Yan wouldn't let Yang Feng and Cao Cao know was that he had actually accepted Yuan Xi's benefits!

The other party has only one request, and it is Yang Feng!

For such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Zhang Yan will naturally not refuse. After thinking about it, he said: "If the captain doesn't want to go to Anyi, we can discuss it in the long term."

"But there are not so many options left."

"Could it be that we are going to defect to the Southern Huns?"

"With all due respect, this is not a good way to retreat. The Hetao Plain has no danger to defend, and the gap between the two sides of the Yellow River is huge. It is not easy to cross the Yellow River and enter Bingzhou. If the Jizhou Army overtakes us, we will not be able to escape."

Yang Feng was silent for a while, and said, "Would you like to go to Liangzhou?"

"I heard that Li Jue and Guo Si's army had been defeated, Li Jue was killed, and Duan Yan was chasing Guo Si. Now Liangzhou is empty, and only Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang still have strength."

"If the Black Mountain Army can pass through the passages of Bingzhou and Sili, at least they will be able to gain a foothold in the eastern part of Liangzhou."

"Besides, the Yang family and the Fufeng Ma family are related by marriage, so Ma Teng would not embarrass the Black Mountain Army if he wanted to come."

Zhang Yan felt a little moved after hearing this, and said, "That's a good idea."

"Since the captain has an idea, tomorrow we will break out together, go west through the Black Mountain, and enter Bingzhou. If there is no enemy obstruction, we will go to Liangzhou."

Yang Feng felt relieved when he heard this, and said: "General Zhonglang is wise."

Zhang Yan said: "Since that's the case, Captain, please go back and recharge your batteries first, and wait until tomorrow to break through."

Yang Feng also felt exhausted, so he nodded in agreement, left the camp with a stick, and went back to rest.

Not long after Yang Feng left, Zhong Yao turned out from behind the tent, and said with a gloomy face, "Is it true that Zhong Lang is going to Liangzhou?"

"Ma Teng, Han Sui, tiger and wolf, the general really thinks he can gain a firm foothold surrounded by these two hungry wolves?"

Zhang Yan said with a wry smile: "Why don't I stabilize her first? Lieutenant Yang has always been very determined. She is extremely resistant to going to Anyi. If I say it clearly, she will definitely oppose it. I'm afraid it will spoil the important affairs of the envoy."

Zhong Yao listened, and nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that the general understands the truth. Yang Feng is stubborn, and she deceives the people in the way of peace and influences the affairs of the envoy. There is no need to keep her."

"After letting it go tomorrow, borrow a knife to kill people, and it will be over once and for all."

After Zhang Yan heard this, although she felt guilty, she knew that the Black Mountain Army was over, and she had no other choice, so she sighed and said dejectedly, "But it's up to the servant's arrangement."

Yang Feng returned to the tent, sat cross-legged and adjusted her breath for a long time before she calmed down the churning blood. At this time, her new wounds and old wounds had already made her live up to her previous courage, and even Zhong Yao, who was hiding behind the tent, could not breathe. Hearing, otherwise, she would be more or less alert.

She thought about it again and again, and felt that although she might be chased when she retreated tomorrow, Montenegro was densely forested, and it shouldn't be difficult for most people to escape, so she relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, when the bright moon was in the sky, on the steep slope to the north of the Heishan military camp, there were groups of soldiers, with sticks in their mouths and ropes in their hands, struggling to climb up the steep slope.

Lu Lingqi followed Yuan Xi and fell several times. If she hadn't been pulled by the rope, she would have rolled down the hillside long ago.

She had not undergone cross-country training from Yuan Xi's soldiers, so she was very uncomfortable with this kind of night climbing, and almost fell over at first, but she was very intelligent, and gradually she was able to keep up with Yuan Xi's pace.

She murmured in her heart that her husband really didn't play his cards according to common sense. During the day, he clearly stated that the general attack would be tomorrow, but secretly ordered to march to the northern side and rear of the Black Mountain Army in the dark. When the day dawned, the whole army would rush out and cut off the retreat of the Black Mountain Army. !
Guo Jiajushou had predicted that the Black Mountain army might escape, but if the opponent left an army to defend the pass tomorrow, Yuan Shang would rush in ahead, and Yuan Xi would gain nothing from behind.

If this is the case, it is better to turn over the mountain at night and cut off part of the opponent's escape route. In this way, Yuan Shang has nothing to say if he captures the enemy's general or surrenders. Court negotiations.

The soldiers in the front are the most elite personal guards under Yuan Xi's command. These people are agile, with a bundle of ropes hanging on their backs, and they use their hands and feet to grab the roots of weeds and trees on the hillside, and lower their bodies to climb carefully.

After every foot or so, they stopped, pulled out an iron awl from their waists and inserted it into the soil, picked up a wooden mallet wrapped in layers of sackcloth, and struck the bottom of the iron awl until it was deeply buried in the soil , and finally they put the rope into the ring at the bottom of the iron cone, so that a rope bridge for the people behind to hold is ready.

Lu Lingqi had walnuts in her mouth, and thought that Yuan Xi was lustful because she was lustful, and she had a lot of whimsical ideas when marching and fighting, but what she didn't understand was why other soldiers were holding wooden sticks, but she was holding walnuts?

When she asked Yuan Xi, the other party faltered, only saying that men and women are different.

Lu Lingqi felt ruthless in her heart, seeing the other party's guilty look, there must be something tricky in it!
Don't let me catch you, or you'll have a good time!
All of a sudden, Yang Feng was awakened by the rapid shouting. She turned over and sat up, and found that it was still dark outside, and she hadn’t taken off her armor to rest. A passing soldier said, "What happened?"

Seeing that it was Yang Feng, the soldier quickly replied, "The enemy is coming!"

"A lot of enemies appeared on the mountain road behind us, our people just saw it!"

"Our retreat has been cut off!"

Yang Feng's face sank when she heard this, she found a high place, looked back, and saw that there seemed to be many people on the hill behind to the north who were setting up defenses. Looking at the clothes and banners, it was actually the Youzhou Army!

She thought to herself that the Youzhou army was really haunted, how did it get around?

The position occupied by the opponent is very chicken thief, stuck in the middle of the side and rear of the Heishan camp. There are still about 2 people in the Heishan camp. There is the Jizhou Army!

As a result, the Montenegrin Army was in a dilemma, and now it was about to blow up the camp!

Moreover, Zhang Yan and most of the leaders were in the front camp, so they would definitely deal with it immediately. Sure enough, someone would come and let Yang Feng pass after a while.

When Yang Feng arrived, all the leaders in Zhang Yan's tent had already arrived, including Lei Gong, Guo Daxian, Luo Shi and others, all of them had solemn expressions.

Seeing Yang Feng coming in, Zhang Yan said, "Commander Yang is here, now we have to break through immediately and retreat to the west!"

"The Jizhou army seems to have not acted yet. If it takes the opportunity to storm our front door, most of us will not be able to leave!"

Everyone had no objection at the moment, Zhang Yan hesitated, "Commander Yang brought Guo Daxian and Luo Shi, how about the end?"

"At that time, we will meet at the western pass of Montenegro!"

Yang Feng listened, nodded and said: "Yes."

Hearing such an arrangement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because among the generals in Montenegro, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng ranked first in martial arts.

Zhang Yan is good at horse fighting, Yang Feng is good at foot fighting, and now the mountain road is steep, cavalry can't use it at all, so Zhang Yan's arrangement is also reasonable.

But everyone didn't know that Yang Feng's strength had been greatly damaged long ago, and Zhang Yan, the only one who knew more or less, also had a flash of guilt in his eyes at this time.

In the face of protecting the Black Mountain Army and Yang Feng, he chose the former.

After everyone dispersed, Zhong Yao ran in hastily, "General, let's go quickly?"

"Then the fierce tiger of the Yuan family has never dealt with me. If they see me, I'm afraid they will avenge themselves publicly, and my life may not be saved!"

"The general must take me out!"

A trace of disgust appeared on Zhang Yan's face, and he said, "Don't worry Zhong Shilang, Montenegro is so big, and he will be able to retreat safely."

In the Jizhou military camp, Yuan Shang's face was ugly, as if he had eaten shit, he said to the generals who had been summoned urgently: "Yuan Xi, that insidious and cunning thing, actually took the lead!"

"He occupied the retreat route of the Montenegrin army, isn't this eating alone?"

"Now that the whole army is attacking, we can't give him credit!"

When the generals heard this, they all shouted their orders, and the soldiers rushed down from the top of the mountain like a tide.

The last battle in Montenegro kicked off.
