Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 701 Taihang giant bandit Zhang Yan, grassland bandit Mi Fang

Zhang Yan finally left slowly under Wei Yan's angry eyes, looking back three times with each step.

What he knew was that he was worried about the Han army's conspiracy. If he didn't know, he would have thought that the woman Zhang Yan longed for was here to bid farewell to him.

Especially the way Wei Yan looks at Zhang Yan, that's called a cough cough
Seeing that Zhang Yan had disappeared into the distant mountain forest, Wei Yan finally couldn't help the anger in his heart and cursed angrily at Liu Yin and Ma Dai.

It's just that the two of them already knew this guy's character, plus Zhuge Liang's previous explanation.

Knowing that Wei Yan was frustrated in this battle, he finally waited for the opportunity, but the final victory seemed to have nothing to do with him.

At this time, he, Wei Yan, had restrained himself by not fighting.

Especially the second order brought by Liu Yin, Wei Yan was not allowed to kill wantonly, and Wei Yan was asked to place all the surrendered troops in Yangxian Daidai garrison.
Leaving aside whether that place in Yang County is suitable for farming, it is here. It might as well be that these people should be returned to Zhang Yan.

Why bother pretending like this!
However, no matter how aggrieved Wei Yan felt at this time, he could not change this reality, let alone disobey Zhuge Liang's order.

He just left a harsh word and left.

"When things happen in Hedong, Wei must go to the Prime Minister in person to find out!"

The furious Wei Yan did not expect that something even more miserable was waiting for him later.
"Fan Jian, what's wrong with you!

Come here, drag this guy down for me. He can weigh as much as thirty army sticks! "

When Wei Yan returned to his own battlefield, it wasn't Zhang Yun who was waiting, but Zhang Yun ran away!

When Wei Yan wanted to intercept and kill Zhang Yan, Zhang He used almost the same method and directly left some troops to confront Fan Jian.

Then he took advantage of this opportunity to escape directly.

When Wei Yan returned, he immediately discovered something was wrong. In less than half a day, he broke through Zhang He's camp and killed Shi Jing who was bluffing to delay.

Although he killed a deputy general, he also broke through Zhang He's camp, and also captured a lot of baggage and food.

But this could not change Wei Yan's pain, because in Wei Yan's view, the reason why he let Zhang He go was because he found that it was not easy to keep Zhang He completely.

Therefore, he chose to keep Zhang Yan to prevent him from entering the Taihang Mountains and causing further trouble.

In this way, even if Zhang He left, he would not be considered a loss.

But in the end, Zhang Yan went to Taihang, and Zhang He successfully evacuated with his army. Now he has begun to regain Jiguan and other pass fortresses between Hanoi and Hedong.

In this way, Wei Yan felt that he could not forgive himself.

"Tell Yuan Wei and others to stay in Hedong and help defend the troops in the direction of Tongguan and Hangu!

Let’s go to a party somewhere! "

After much thought, Wei Yan still couldn't understand Zhuge Liang's thoughts, so before his new appointment arrived, he headed directly towards the Shangdang camp.

Looking at the busy Bingzhou and the gradually settling down Hedong County along the way, Wei Yan could not feel any joy in his heart.

Because these achievements have nothing to do with him!

"The last general, Wei Yan, pays homage to the Prime Minister!"

Although he was unhappy, Wei Yan still understood the truth and did not dare to be too rude after seeing Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Liang seems to have been waiting for this "favorite general" for a long time.

"Chang Wen, come here."

The love is true love, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not have spent his whole life mediating conflicts for him and easing the relationship with his ministers.

But the headache is really a headache. After all, it’s been two lifetimes, and Zhuge Liang is still trying to put in good words for him to mediate conflicts.
"Prime Minister, I will never understand"

"Why did you let Zhang Yan go?" Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan's appearance, and then looked at Hedong's battle report to know what Wei Yan wanted to say.

"Please Prime Minister give me an explanation and a reason!"

"Hey!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, "It's very simple, Liang needs Taihang Mountain!"

"Taihang Mountains?" "The Taihang Mountains are a land that merges with Hebei Province. If we can master the Taihang Mountains, we can bypass the Huguan natural barrier and enter Handan, Lingshou and other places.

Doesn’t the editor understand this truth? "

"Of course the general will understand!" Wei Yan snorted coldly, "But your Majesty also has elite soldiers and horses composed of Wudang and seven Yi people and other mountain people.

The Wuqian Army that the Prime Minister is training now is also good at walking in the mountains and forests, so why must he use Zhang Yan.

He was born as a giant bandit and was extremely cunning, and his wife, children, and children were all in the hands of the Cao family.

Wouldn't releasing him now be like letting the tiger go home?
Once he, Zhang Yan, has any thoughts, wouldn't it mean that his majesty's affairs will be ruined? "

"Hey, sir, don't get excited.

What Liang means is that even though we have many elites such as Wudang Wuqian and others under our command, the Taihang Mountains also have the Taihang Eight Paths, but Cao Wei has already been on guard.

Whether it was the Meng Sect that Qi conquered Jin and entered, or Qin's decisive attack on Han Rongyang, or the mouth of the flying fox, there were many soldiers and horses stationed there.

If I wait to pass, it will not be an easy task.

So I need someone who is really familiar with Taihang to help me in the future.

Of course, this is just an afterthought. If it were just because of this, Liang wouldn't need to keep Zhang Yan.

But Liang still needs to govern Bingzhou. "

"Governing Bingzhou?" Wei Yan sneered directly after hearing this, "The governance of Bingzhou has something to do with that thief Zhang!"

“There is no suitable land for farming in Bingzhou, and there is a need for horse ranches in Hetao and other places for our big men.

How do people survive?
Taiyuan, Xihe and other places are alright, but Shangdang is mountainous and desolate in Yanmen, and the people are still dying!

Moreover, Han and Hu people live together here, and there is no Zhang Yan in the Taihang Mountains. Are there too many bandits?

When Zhang Yan was there, he was still able to support himself, but now all the bandits in Taihang Mountain have become pure rogues.

Sometimes haunting and looting, sometimes hiding in the mountains, making Bingzhou miserable.

Now that we have obtained Bingzhou, we must give the people of Bingzhou a way to survive.

The reason why Liang let Zhang Yan enter Taihang was for two reasons.

First, use Zhang Yan to control the bandits in the Taihang Mountains, as long as we help him conceal the truth.

Coupled with his own cunning, he can get support from my Han Dynasty and Cao Wei at the same time, so as to quickly rectify the Taihang bandits.

Moreover, this person is cunning but has no ambition to be independent, so there is no need to worry about his big tail.

Secondly, in addition to bandits, there are also a large number of medicinal materials, large trees and many minerals in the Taihang Mountains.

These things are not so brightly placed there.

Someone needs to find these things, and no one is more suitable than Zhang Yan.

Liang has already arranged for people to do this, and by using those things for us, we can make Bingzhou rich."

"Prime Minister, what you said does make some sense!" Wei Yan really couldn't refute Zhuge Liang on this, but he still refused to give up at this time.

"But I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be hidden from Cao Wei!"

"If I'm dating Zhang Yan, I can't hide it, but there is someone who can."

"who?"

"There are giant bandits in the Taihang Mountains. Are there no ruthless bandits on the grasslands outside the Great Wall?" Zhuge Liang chuckled directly, "Anyway, Mi Zifang has committed a lot of crimes.

Everyone will become accustomed to the extra ten or eight items! "

"."

At this moment, Wei Yan felt that Mi Fang was already galloping towards the gate of hell, the kind of horse that whips three times faster.
