Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

214 Chapter 213 The Last East Wind Has Arrived
When people mention Yuan Shao, they are always willing to call him the Overlord of the Northern Kingdom.

Now that Yuan Shang has taken over, he is also known as the lord of the Northern Kingdom, a new star dominating the four states.

In fact, there has always been a force in the northern kingdom that cannot be ignored, that is, the black bandits entrenched in the Taihang Mountains.

From the battle between Yuan Shao and Han Fu for Jizhou, to the decisive battle with Gongsun Zan in the North Kingdom, this force has actually been controlling the situation in the North Kingdom.

Even in the key battle of Yuan Shao's unification of the Northern Kingdom, they almost became the key to the reversal. If it wasn't because Gongsun Zan fell into Tian Feng's trick, it would be hard to say who would win when the Black Bandits arrived.

It's not that Yuan Shao is ignorant of the dangers of these guys, but they have the Taihang Mountains to rely on. Yuan Shao sent troops several times but failed to fully absorb this force.

Later, it was discovered that if the black bandits were separated from the protection of the Taihang Mountains, they would not be able to achieve much success, so they simply ignored them, but suffered from the counties and counties around the Taihang Mountains, and were often robbed by them.

The leader of the black bandit is Zhang Yan. This guy used to be called Chu Yan. The original leader was Zhang Niujiao. Enqing followed Zhang Niujiao's surname.

So far, Zhang Yan, the second generation of Black Mountain bandits, was born.

It is worth mentioning that although Zhang Yan is known as the mountain king of the black mountain bandits, he is actually registered with the imperial court. Compared with Xiaolian's privileges, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao were insignificant at that time.

Moreover, among bandits, Zhang Yan also belongs to the ceiling level of combat power. At his peak, he even occupied Changshan, Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, and Shangdang. There are four 5000 people.

He is also very smart, adhering to the concept of hitting if he can beat, and running if he can't beat, he has always been very popular.

Until later, he met a man holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and with dozens of cavalry, he beat his tens of thousands of troops all over the ground. Since then, he didn't dare to run out easily to make trouble.

In fact, the number of looting by the bandits in the past few years has been much less, because he has reclaimed a lot of fertile land in the Taihang Mountains, which can barely support the bandits with their families.

When I really can't get rid of the pot or want to improve the food, I can hug him a few times, and the harvest is good every time.

But recently, Zhang Yan felt that it was probably because of his own destiny that Heishanzhai received wave after wave of good news, which made him a little at a loss as to what to do.

At the earliest time, Ruo Rong, as Lu Bu's envoy, sent him [-] gold, expressing his intention to contribute to the great cause together.

Then the court angel, who had not been seen for more than ten years, condescended to run to the Taihang Mountains, named him Zhang Yan as General Pingbei, and asked him to send troops to harass the rear of Bingzhou, disrupt the rhythm of high-level cadres, and let him take over Bingzhou after the incident.

A few days ago, Gao Gan was defeated in the Shangdang, and he was caught by Xun You's trick of suspicious soldiers going in from left to right, and fled in embarrassment, so he also sent someone to ask him, Zhang Yan, to help.

One is the governor of Bingzhou, the other is Sikong, and the other is the princes of the Central Plains who have set foot in two states. Now they all ask me for help. The other little bosses in the cottage expressed their embarrassment. Everyone gave gifts. Who should I help? .

Zhang Yan was sitting on the handsome chair in the cottage, with one foot on the bedding tiger skin and one hand holding the leg of lamb that had just been roasted. His mouth was full of greasy food, and he muttered: "We, no one will offend, no one will Don't fall."

Don't look at Zhang Yan as a king of the mountain, but his figure is not the potbellied and bearded face as imagined.

On the contrary, he is relatively thin, compared with those generals who are as thick as a city wall, he really looks like a swallow.

"Brother, what do you mean, the ceremony is received, the soldiers are not sent out, and the success or failure is watched?" Du Chang, who is the second in charge, asked for advice.

"At Bingzhou, although Gao Gan has lost a battle, we haven't lost yet, so let's not get involved. As for Jizhou, Ruo Rong means that we should immediately send troops from Zhongshan to Hejian."

Zhang Yan threw the leg of lamb in his hand onto the table, wiped his clothes with careless hands, and said with a smile: "You can let the brothers gather and go to Zhongshan and Hejian to make a fuss.

Oh, by the way, don't go to Wuji, Ruo Rong said that Lin Mo wants to protect Zhen's family. "

After Zhang Yan finished reminding, Du Chang frowned and nodded, "So, what does Big Brother mean, we help Lu Bu?"

"nonsense."

Zhang Yan took a sip of wine and poured down the mutton in his mouth, and said seriously: "Brothers are just going out to play the autumn wind once, why are you helping Lu Bu?"

After Du Chang rolled his eyes, he immediately laughed out of complacency, "Brother is right, the little ones were starving recently, and ran out to make troubles by themselves. We, at most, are just lax in supervision.

Brother is wise. "

"It's useless to be a bandit, you'll be a bandit all your life." Zhang Yan proudly fiddled with her mustache, her face full of arrogance.

The aristocratic family has always liked to bet on multiple heads, and what they want is stability. The premise is that you also have the background and strength to bet on several heads.

Zhang Yan, as a bandit, claims to have hundreds of thousands of people, but most of them are the old and weak, women and children. Those who can really be pulled out to fight are only 3 to [-] thousand people. He only has one chance to bet, and he must think carefully .

From the current point of view, Cao Cao has the greatest chance of winning in the Northern Kingdom. With the support of the imperial court behind him, strong troops and strong horses, Cao Cao is the first choice.

As for Gao Gan, guarding Bingzhou under his feet is enough for him to have a headache, but he hasn't troubled the black mountain bandits in these years, so Zhang Yan doesn't want to mess with him either.

It was Lu Bu who gave him the most headache.

Regardless of the fact that he only brought 2 people to the Northland, between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, he seemed to be trying to survive, but the shadow of being dominated by Fang Tian's painting halberd in those years left Zhang Yan with lingering fears.

In the fourth year of Chuping, Lu Bu led Wei Yue and dozens of them, and beat his own tens of thousands of people to the north, and even he almost lost his life.

With a halberd painted in the sky, thousands of dead souls wailed.
I'm not sure who I want to help the most, but if I don't want to offend anyone, it must be Lu Bu.

What's more, I also took [-] gold from him. If he didn't do anything, if he really gained a foothold in Beiguo by then, how could this Black Village be able to stop Lu Fengxian from him.

Zhang Yan decided to first follow Ruo Rong's request and let his men plunder in Zhongshan and Hejian counties to seize the pass.

If Lu Bu finally took over the Northern Kingdom, he would be considered to have fulfilled his agreement; if he was defeated, he would not be offended by Cao Cao and Gao Gan himself.

As for the new Lord of the Northern Kingdom, Yuan Shang?Your surname, even your father, Yuan Shao, I am not afraid of, you are more tender.

Xiajin's place has been very uneasy recently. Lu Bu and Yuan Tan have completely cut off communication. The scouts on both sides dare not show their faces easily. Once they cross the border, they will inevitably be shot and killed.

On the contrary, the cavalry scouts on Yuan Shang's side became more and more bold, and they all started to wander around the periphery of Lu Ying.

"Report!"

A scout ran into the tent of the Chinese army with a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, "Marquis Wen, an urgent report from Anfeng!"

Hearing this, all eyes in the tent fell on the bundle of bamboo slips, Lu Bu immediately stepped forward to open them to check, and soon breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiahou Dun led an army of [-] into Anfeng."

"Okay! I knew he wouldn't let go of the fat that was about to reach his mouth, everything is settled!" Lin Mo's right fist hit his left palm fiercely, and his excitement was vivid On his face, there was a sense of joy that all hardships come, and the moon is bright when the clouds open.

The situation of all parties in the North Kingdom is within their own design, the only missing link is the Anfeng War.

Now, it can be counted as waiting for the last east wind.

"Yunwen, Xiahoudun attacked Anfeng, how can everything be settled?" Seeing him so excited, Lu Bu was inevitably suspicious.

"It's a long story, let me explain to Mr. Yue Zhang later, now we can do it."

"How to do it?"

Lin Mo showed a relaxed smile, and after a long sigh of relief, he took out three silk cloths that he had prepared earlier from his arms, and put them in front of his old father-in-law, "I'm going to send one to Yuan Shang , sent a fast horse to Xiaoguan, and the last one was sent to Anfeng."

The old father-in-law, who didn't know why, read the letters written by Lin Mo one by one.

The content is very simple, not full of mysterious and mysterious secrets like in the past, even he can see what Lin Mo wants to do at a glance.

It is nothing more than the current military strategy for the Northland War and the means of gathering in the future.

It seems that everything is well planned, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner. According to this trend of development, the four northern states dare not say that Qingzhou and Jizhou will be firmly in their hands.

But the problem lies in Anfeng. Lu Bu thinks that Lin Mo is a little too optimistic, "I have no objection to transfer Boping's people away from Xiaoguan, but at least half of them should be sent to help Anfeng. Xiahou Dun is a four Wan Dajun, although Anfeng also has [-] people, but if Anfeng loses, your whole game of chess will be messed up."

"My lord Yuezhang is very worried. Anfeng is indeed short of people right now, but considering the overall situation, the task of going upstream along the river is more important.

Although I am sure that brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will fight bloody battles together, but that is an army of 25 after all, how many of us are there, once they realize that they have been cheated, they can eat us in a temporary group, General Gao's people , must arrive at the designated location to complete the pick-up. "

Lin Mo pointed helplessly at a point on the map on the table, and then said in a deep voice, "I believe in Uncle, and I also believe in Mr. Jia."

The express report sent by Zhang Liao only reported Cao Jun's soldiers, the chief general and the vanguard, but did not know about the accompanying advisers. This is certainly a risky point.

But as far as the people Cao Cao can use at present, that is, Xun You and Guo Jia are considered to be at the ceiling level, it is impossible for these two people to be together.

The old bastards themselves are also the top group of people, whether it is Guo Jia or Xun You, they will never be able to completely defeat the old bastards.

What's more, Anfeng himself left an insurance policy for Zhang Liao, which is easy to use, and if used well, it will definitely earn half of Cao Jun's troops.

In addition, once the morale is reversed, it will be a great situation with a favorable wind, and the old bastard should be stable.

"All right."

Lu Bu thought it was a bit risky to do so, but finally nodded heavily, "Wen Yuan can break through [-] with [-] million, I should believe him."

After finishing speaking, he folded up the three silk cloths on the table and handed them to Yin Li who was beside him, "Do as Yunwen said."

"Here!" Yin Li Zhixin issued the account.

Weng and his son-in-law were both twiddling their fingers and calculating, one was thinking about how to fight the next big battle, and the other was thinking about whether there were any points that had been overlooked, which seemed to be a bit of a conspiracy.

No matter how long you think about it, there is actually only one conclusion, Anfeng is risky, and other things are unlikely to cause any accidents.

This risk point cannot be avoided no matter what Lin Mo does.

Cao Cao already had an advantage in numbers, and with the Son of Heaven in his hand, he took advantage of the offensive and defensive advantages. This also forced Lin Mo to plan before moving. The originally small number of soldiers and horses scored three lines.

Xiahoudun entered Anfeng, and Xiao Guan Gaoshun's people were free to move around. The last 2 people were born out of nowhere, and Lin Mo was confident that they would become the most critical pawns.

This was originally a part of his plan to annex the North Kingdom when he was in Xuzhou, but when he really got to this point, he should still worry about it.

Xiahou Dun was known as the often defeated general in later generations. He never won a battle, never stopped being promoted, and if he really wrestled arms, he would not be Zhang Liao's opponent.

What Lin Moxuan cared about was the counselor behind him.

Xun Gongda, the twelve extraordinary strategies, and Guo Fengxiao are not easy to deal with.

Lin Mo folded his hands on his chest and pursed his lips. In fact, if possible, he even wanted to see the duel between them with his own eyes.

Can the old bastard play against Xun You and Guo Jia?

The collision between the top strategists should be very interesting.

It's a pity that I am in the Northland, so I can only spy on it through the battle report later.

"Hahaha" Yuan Shang's laughter was so penetrating that even the sergeant patrolling outside the tent could hear it clearly.

Recently, the relationship between Yuan Tan and Lu Bu has become more and more tense. His people have personally seen the cavalry teams patrolled by both sides fight. Of course, Yuan Shang feels that his choice is correct, at least much better than the opinion given by the judge. .

Especially now that Lu Bu's letter of surrender was placed on the handsome table, Yuan Shang was so happy that he almost didn't know what posture to sit in to make him more comfortable.

Lu Bu's letter of surrender made it very clear that Yuan Tan provided all the food and grass for his trip to the north. Now that he has run out of food and grass, if he doesn't surrender, there will be civil strife.

Moreover, for such a long time, I have been trapped in the middle of an army of more than 20, and I have been terrified all day long. I want to leave but I am afraid of being chased and killed, and I have nothing to do when I stay. Now I have to ask Yuan Shang to surrender. To show his sincerity, he has asked Xu Sheng to come back. Yes, return Wucheng to Yuan Shang.

At the same time, if Yuan Shang is willing to accept, he will help him to defeat Yuan Tan.

How to break?According to Lu Bu, their relationship had deteriorated to the point of irreconcilability, so he guessed that when he fled south to the ferry with his army, Yuan Tan would definitely send elites to hunt them down.

Because Yuan Tan would be worried that after he retreated safely, he would go around to the rear of Qingzhou and attack aggressively. It is impossible to watch him leave, right?
At that time, Lu Bu will fight Yuan Tan's men in the wilderness, and ask Yuan Shang to send a large army to attack Yuan Tan's army, so Yuan Tan will be defeated.

Reasonable, too reasonable, Yuan Tan will definitely not let Lu Bu leave swaggeringly at this time.

Moreover, Lu Bu didn't surrender right away. The estrangement had been used for such a long time, and the two armies had already turned against each other. Coupled with the food shortage crisis, Lu Bu had reached the point where he would die if he surrendered.

Well, everything is in my own plan.

The question now is whether to do as Lu Bu said.

This kind of thing, of course, still needs to be discussed with the two advisers.
