Chapter 1031

The majestic Taihang Mountains are full of lush greenery.

In the Taihang line, the terrain is precipitous, the birds nest safely, and there are few people. However, in the north side of Leping County, there is rarely a gentle place.Across the old trees and old forests, you can see an open valley.

In the valley, the platform walls are criss-crossed, majestic and majestic.There are various peaks, mountains, platforms, walls, gorges, waterfalls, pools, springs, streams, streams and other wonders distributed among them.The flowers and birds are pleasant, there are many cottages, and the residents in the canyon use local materials. Stone streets, stone yards, stone pillars, stone walls, stone ladders, and stone buildings can be seen everywhere. The mountain stone structure is integrated with the natural scenery.

If you are interested in traveling, you can also see natural wonders in the canyon, such as peach blossom caves with peach blossoms in full bloom in the severe cold of Sanjiu, and icebergs and ice backs that freeze in the scorching heat of Sanfu. Extremely spectacular.

People live in nature, and live in harmony with nature, smoke from cooking, melodious singing, eating and enjoying themselves, really has the charm of Tao Yuanming's paradise.

No one would have guessed that here is the most legendary spark of the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.Its leader, Zhang Yan, was nicknamed "Flying Swallow" because of his hustle and agility.Surrounded by mountains and rivers, he plundered everywhere, giving the officers and soldiers the illusion of being erratic, and through hundreds of battles, he has always protected the last Yellow Turban Holy Land.Bandits from Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan and other places admired his name and also came to follow him.Among the thieves in the valley, there have been more than 30 since then.

But amidst the beauty of the world where man and nature are one, there is no harmony and harmony in Dazhai.Zhang Yan was dressed in a cool attire, sitting a little lazily on the front seat in the hall, while the bandit leaders stood on both sides of the hall, and the atmosphere was chaotic.Sui Gu stood in the middle of the hall with his fists clasped, ignoring the glaring stares of the bandit chiefs, he reaffirmed, "Zhang Shuai, in my opinion, we can only survive if we join the Ma family's army!"

"Suigu! You were kicked out twice by the Ma's army, and all your brothers were captured by the Ma's army. Now you still have the face to come here to shout at us. Could it be that you have become accustomed to surrender and become addicted?" Zhang Baiqi was the first to jump. Come out, a few days ago, after he let Tuoba Ying go, he secretly followed Tuoba Ying to avenge him.Finally, seeing the chaos in Jinyang City, he quickly reported to Zhang Yan, which benefited the fishermen of the Black Mountain Army and brought a large amount of food and grass wealth from Jinyang City.

With such achievements, Zhang Baiqi is very proud of himself in the valley these days.Now seeing that Sui Gu has defected to the Black Mountain Army, he is still inexplicably talking nonsense about defecting to the Ma Family Army.He immediately couldn't help but said: "We are different from you soft-footed shrimp, we are used to groveling! The foundation of Great Liang Xianshi cannot be ruined by a word like you!"

Zhang Baiqi took the lead in clamoring, Guo Daxian, Zhang Damu and other leaders also clamored.But Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the right seat, didn't even bother to look down. He aimed at Sui Gu with falcon-like eyes, and said calmly: "Sui Gu, you are also a bitter person who has been persecuted by the government and the army. You even told about joining the Ma family. Tell me what you think, and let me know if you took the wrong medicine?"

As soon as Zhang Yan opened his mouth, the people below were immediately solemn and silent, which showed Zhang Yan's prestige among these people.And what he said, although slightly contemptuous, had the same meaning as those thieves, but after all, he gave Sui Gu a chance to explain, which shows that this person's mind is also smooth and transparent.

"Zhang Shuai, the Ma family army is different from other officers and soldiers." Sui Gu knelt down on the ground, seemed to recall the hardships at the time, and said with a sob: "You don't know, those officers and soldiers a few years ago, except for the payment of the army In addition, there are strong men doing corvée. My family wanted to go to Luoyang to beg for food because there was really nothing to eat, but my younger sister was raped by the army, and my parents were killed by the army. I vowed to kill these wolves who harm the people."

"However, the Ma family army is different. I was kicked out of the army by Ma Chao twice because I really didn't deserve to stay there. You are also people who came out with Master Da Liang. Think about it, we used to want to eradicate the Great Han Dynasty. Give the poor people a good life. But what happened later? We robbed the rich and killed civilians. What did we do different from those officers and soldiers before?! When I was in Jinyang City, I got two horseshoe gold from Ma Chao. What is the first item? Not for the common people, but for shopping in kilns!"

Speaking of this, Sui Gu got a little emotional, looked at the shameless thieves, and roared ferociously: "Don't look at me like that! You guys, have the same virtue as Lao Tzu, you dare to pat your chest and say, you got two yuan After the horseshoe gold, will it be distributed to the poor?! I got the top card in Baihualou, and just based on this, I am better than you!"

"Suigu, you bastard grandson!" Zhang Damu saw Suigu's red eyes staring at him, felt guilty for a while, strode forward and wanted to beat Suigu up!
But when Zhang Damu raised his leg, a flying knife shot out like lightning, hitting Zhang Damu's calf.Then, with a gloomy face, Zhang Yan said, "Damu Zhang, didn't you see me sitting here? Or are you deaf and can't hear what I just said?! Let him finish!!"

Zhang Damu was scolded by Zhang Yan for a while, and he didn't dare to reply even though he was clutching his bleeding calf.Seeing Zhang Yan's methods, those bandit leaders were even more silent, especially after Zhang Baiqi saw this scene, he regretted his arrogant behavior these days one after another, thinking whether he had offended Zhang Yan...

"Zhang Shuai, I won't say much else. I just think that although you have kept us alive for a while, the grain we cultivate in one year is not enough for 10 people. We still have to take risks. Going to rob and rob at the risk of losing your head, this year there is food in Jinyang City, and it is indeed a little more generous. But next year, the year after that?" Sui Gu's voice was much softer this time, but the meaning in his words was heavy a lot of:
"This year, the Ma family and Yuan Shao are fighting in Bingzhou, and many people will flee. We accept it, fearing that there will be spies from the army, and the old brother will starve to death; if we don't accept it, we will be sorry for our original intention of rebelling, and I will be sorry for Great Liang. The last words. The only way is to take refuge in the Ma family, a prince who loves the people, and find a way for us to survive."

"Said that the Ma family cherishes the people, Zhang Shuai, can I say a few words?" At this time, Sun Qing, the leader who often scouts around for news, opened his mouth, and after seeing Zhang Yan nodding, he continued: "Sili and Yongzhou, we I have also been there. Over the years, the people there have lived well. The Ma family distributed land and houses there, and also reduced taxes and exempted corvee. Do some small business, if the mother-in-law and daughter are skillful, they can make military uniforms for the Ma family army. If you really have a craft, you can open a shop and not pay taxes for three years..."

While talking, Sun Qing also felt that he was a bit rambling, so he simply concluded: "Anyway, apart from other things, the people there can eat enough as long as they don't cause trouble. They can live a prosperous life. Especially if there is a soldier in the family, it is the glory of the whole street. I heard from the people there that it was the Ma family’s new policy that made them stable and wealthy in two years..."

"Okay, okay," Guo Daxian was a little anxious. Hearing what Sun Qing said, he said in a loud voice, "I don't want to live the life of farming and working. We drink, eat meat and sleep with women here. What's wrong with that?" Okay? I really can’t live anymore, at worst, put your head on your trouser belt and grab his vote! A poor life, if you die, you will fall down!"

Most of the people who can become the leader of the thieves are Guo Daxian, who doesn't think about farming and lives in chaos.As a result, as soon as this guy opened his mouth, those bandit chiefs who thought like him shouted again, and the whole hall was like a vegetable market.

Zhang Yan is so good, no matter how noisy, as long as he doesn't make a move, it will be fine.However, today he was really annoyed, and said, "Get out of here and argue! Sui Gu, you stay!"
