Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 404: The Storm Outside Yanmen Pass

() "Hehe, does General Zhang know Guo Da?" Ju Shou's face remained the same, and he said politely: "The Yellow Turban Army under Guo Da's command also has more than 20 people, but they were defeated by my general and fled in embarrassment. Recently, they seem to be in Yuzhou. I don't know the general. How is it compared to Guo Da?"

Zhang Yan pondered: "The two armies are fighting, why bother about these useless things, Yuan Shao defeated Guo Da also with the help of Cao Cao, this general knows your purpose, doesn't it just want the Black Mountain Army to retreat, this is very easy, as long as Yuan Shao is willing to pay 10 shi for food and grass, and a thousand horses, and the Black Mountain Army will retreat, but the cities they occupy will not be returned, and the Yellow Turban Army has tens of thousands of people, so this general has no choice."

Although the Black Mountain Army occupied three cities along the way, it also reflected the shortcomings of the Yellow Turbans. They lacked collectiveness when attacking the city. He is the commander-in-chief, but the yellow turban generals under him are at odds with each other, and they are secretly divided into several factions.

Ju Shou's complexion changed slightly, and he still smiled and said: "The general's remarks are absurd. How can Jizhou get so much money and food, but General Yuan can give the general something that he even dreamed of."

"What?"

Ju Shou muttered two words softly.

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly shot out a gleam, staring at Jushou with piercing eyes, waved his hands for a long time and said: "Go down and rest, this matter is of great importance, I want to discuss it with the generals under my command."

When Zhang Yan occupied Montenegro, he had no more than 5 soldiers under him. He became the commander of the entire Montenegro army only because he was appointed by Marshal Zhang Niujiao on his deathbed. He had [-] elite soldiers and was the leader. There are many people who disagree with Commander Qu.

"What do you all think about this matter?" Zhang Yan was at the top, looking at the commander in the tent with a serious expression.

"Commander, the Han army has always been cunning, I'm afraid I can't believe it. I got the news that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou led soldiers to gather at the border of Jizhou. The plan is not small. Yuan Shao must not be able to resist, so he came to compromise with our army. Why don't we take advantage of the situation? And go up, carve up Jizhou with the Youzhou army."

Zhang Yan followed the sound, but it was Yang Feng. This person followed Zhang Niujiao and traveled to various places. He was brave and resourceful, and made outstanding achievements. Originally, Yang Feng was the best candidate after Zhang Niujiao's death, but he didn't expect Zhang Yan to come out.

"Marshal Yang's words are reasonable, but our army doesn't have much food and grass, so I'm afraid it won't last long. Yuan Shao was the leader of the eighteen princes back then. He has elite soldiers who have fought many battles in his hands. He might not be able to win. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who was vain and brave, was defeated Yuan Shao's defeat was severe, and his muscles were broken." Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.

"Marshal, if you say fight, let's fight, isn't it just little Yuan Shao, what are you afraid of? Thinking back to the time when the great virtuous and good teacher led millions of soldiers to attack the city and pull out the village all the way, these Han troops fled in embarrassment, how spectacular it was! " Zhang Baiqi said disapprovingly.

Zhang Yan scolded: "Baiqi, don't talk nonsense, listen to the views of other commanders." Zhang Baiqi is a loyal follower of Zhang Niujiao. Ride naturally to follow.

Zhang Baiqi stood aside with his hands tied, and said nothing more, his expression extremely respectful.

The marshals in various departments in the tent talked a lot, but they couldn't come up with a good suggestion.

When Zhang Yan told Yuan Shao's conditions, the tent seemed to explode. Many Yellow Turban generals blushed and had thick necks arguing. The Yellow Turbans had always been at odds with the Han army, so they were unwilling to succumb to the court and fought each other for many years. Hearing these words suddenly, he was naturally conflicted.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yanmai was walking in the courtyard. Looking at the stars in the sky, he couldn't help but whispered: "Master, your old man is a spirit in the sky. Can you tell me what to do?"

The Yellow Turbans seem to be strong, but they are not monolithic. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao wiped out the Yellow Turbans in the Yanzhou area of ​​Qingzhou, and the Yellow Turbans were greatly weakened. There are many people who are dissatisfied, maybe many people are secretly waiting to see their own jokes.

By the moonlight, Zhang Yan saw a figure approaching him, and turned around consciously, his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, seeing that it was Wu Nian, the guard, he relaxed.

"Marshal, it's late at night, go to bed early." Wu Nian clasped his fists and said.

Zhang Yan sighed: "The big thing is still undecided. Alas, when the great virtuous and good teacher was here, the yellow scarf was so powerful. I didn't expect that it can only be active in the Black Mountain area now. Wu Nian, tell me, is the yellow scarf really wrong?"

Wu Nian's body shook slightly, and he said, "Commander, I don't know about my lowly position. Today I heard the commanders from various ministries arguing endlessly."

"If you were you, how would you choose?" Zhang Yan had a whim and turned his attention to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian met Wu Nian on the way to Montenegro. At that time, Wu Nian, who was hungry and knew nothing about personnel, was completely bought by Zhang Yan with a meal, and became a loyal bodyguard. He has followed Zhang Yan for many years. Wu Nian was not weak in martial arts among the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, but no matter how Zhang Yan tried to persuade him, he still refused to command the army and was willing to become a bodyguard.

"Marshal, if you have a lowly position." Wu Nian looked at Zhang Yan's encouraging eyes, straightened his body and said, "Actually, it's not bad to seek refuge in the imperial court, at least the people will not be hunted down by the Han army, and the general has been fighting for many years, and he can have a good life." A fame."

Zhang Yan sighed and said, "The Black Mountain Army is so simple on the surface."

The next day, Zhang Yan met with Jushou and agreed to his request. Yuan Shao paid five thousand stones for grain and one hundred war horses.

When Jushou returned to Yuan Jun, Yuan Shao went out to greet him personally, and gave him the highest courtesy, which spread in Jizhou. Of course, he was also accompanied by Yuan Shao's corporal.

In Chang'an City, the General's Mansion, seeing the news from the lone wolf soldiers, Jia Rong's face became more and more smiling. The more chaotic the situation in the Central Plains, the better for Jia Rong.

Liangzhou was established, and Jia Rong aimed at Bingzhou. Cao Cao, east of Hanguguan, did not want to fight with him for the time being.

The Xiliang army pointed their troops at Bingzhou, what they needed was an opportunity, and this opportunity, of course, came from Xianbei. Once Xianbei attacked Yanmen Pass, with the current strength of Bingzhou, it might be difficult to resist. At that time, Jia Rong, in the name of the general, sent The army went to Bingzhou, and took over the Bingzhou army justifiably, and Ding Tai couldn't make any waves.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Liu Bei of Yuzhou are all busy, so the Xiliang Army can't be idle.

To Jia Rong's surprise, Gongsun Zan actually sent an envoy, saying that the Youzhou Army was willing to form an alliance with the Xiliang Army.

Thinking of the bits and pieces of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Zan in the past, until now, each of them has become a prince.

An alliance with the Youzhou Army has no harm at all. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are fighting to the death, but the Xiliang Army has no intersection with Youzhou. Having such an ally in Jizhou can not help but remind people of the Qin King’s adoption during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. The long-distance and short-term attacks gradually disintegrated the countries and then unified them.

Under Jia Rong's secret order, the five thousand Xiliang troops have already moved closer to the border of Bingliang. Chang'an has the natural danger of Hangu Pass, and one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Only Li Shun is trapped in the camp, which is enough to guard. Cao Cao survived the drought With the disaster of the refugees, it is difficult to gather a large army to compete with the Xiliang army in a short period of time.

The autumn of the first year of Xingping came slowly, and Xianbei finally couldn't hold back the idea of ​​making a move, and sent troops to fight the Xiliang army, which made Xianbei people feel unprecedented humiliation.

The country of the Han people is not peaceful, and the same is true for Xianbei. The big tribes encroach on the weak tribes. On the vast grassland, blood is bleeding every day. Murong Feng can't change the situation when he returns to the grassland. The strength developed rapidly, without Murong Feng's restraint, the chaotic grassland became the leader.

After returning to Xianbei, Murong Feng rectified the troops and taught the restless leader a lesson. When the leaders of the various ministries learned that Murong Feng had returned, they also carefully put away their thoughts.

Xianbei raised [-] troops and moved closer to Yanmen Pass. It seems that they deliberately avoided the Xiliang army. Beidi County, which has always been the focus of Xianbei looting, has no trace of Xianbei people, and there is no Xianbei army in Youzhou.

The border was in a hurry, and [-] Xianbei people gathered at Yanmen Pass, as if they wanted to swallow the checkpoint in front of them in one fell swoop.

Ding Tai prepares his troops and prepares to move closer to Yanmen Pass to resist Xianbei. Ding Tai doesn't have much ability, but he knows that if Xianbei people enter the pass, he, Bingzhou Mu, will be regarded as the end.

But an incident happened again in Bingzhou, so Ding Tai had to direct his troops to Meiji. The Huns rebelled again, and cooperated with the Xianbei people to invade the country, and Bingzhou fell into an unprecedented crisis. , The Han army who went to suppress the rebellion was beaten to pieces by the Huns.

There were only 3000 defenders of Yanmen Guang. Seeing more and more Xianbei troops gathered outside the city, Zhou Yi couldn't sleep at night without knowing what to eat. In addition to strengthening the city wall every day, he just stood at the top of the city and kept looking into the distance However, Ding Tai and Ding Yi's rescuers did not come for a long time.

Half a month later, the [-] army of the Xianbei people finished their round. Zhou Yi did not see Ding Tai's reinforcements, but received news that the Huns were in chaos and the Bingzhou Army was defeated one after another.

Yanmen Pass is a great pass for Xianbei to enter the Han territory. It has never been breached since the Xianbei people rebelled. The checkpoint became the biggest obstacle for Xianbei people to ride horses in the Central Plains.

Yanmen Pass is a pass on the Great Wall, the terrain is dangerous, "Xiongguan Yanmen, ranking first in the 'Nine Fortresses of the World'".

Standing high on Gouzhu Mountain, also known as Yanmen Mountain, since King Wuling of Zhao in the Warring States Period, successive dynasties have regarded it as a strategic location. In the Han Dynasty, it became an important pass for the Han Dynasty to resist the Huns. It has been repaired diligently. , Yanmen Pass has become an important obstacle for Xianbei people to invade the territory. If Yanmen Pass is not broken, the great mountains and rivers in the Central Plains will only be like flowers in the mirror.

Looking at Yanmen Pass, Murong Feng of the Chinese army felt powerless. The six-foot-high city wall was built on Yanmen Mountain, like a big hand, firmly choking the advancing pace of Xianbei cavalry.

It's the last day of the gale, and the cliff is a handicapped party, and typing is too slow. The update of the past few days has taken up most of the holidays. Two more updates will continue today.
