The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 Fighting the Black Mountain Army (first order)
The world is indeed going to be in chaos. Dong Zhuo's nature is tyrannical and extravagant. At the beginning, he was able to respect the virtuous and corporal, and he continued to promote famous people.

But as things went on, Dong Zhuo showed his true nature, and his words no longer respected the scholars in the past, and it was more of a kind of arrogance.

I can even accomplish the desolation of the emperor, let alone this?
"The black mountain thief? Hehe... This Han Fu is really cowardly, even a group of thieves in the territory can't be put down, but Yuan Shao has some skills, just a Bohai prefect dares to send messages to the four directions, he really deserves to be the four After the third prince of the world."

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Dong Zhuo showed various mocking expressions on his face.

"But it's just for some muddy legs. You really are a son! Wen You, don't you think so? But Wei Tao, who you were optimistic about before, seems to be capable like this, but it is said that the wine he brews is not bad. , is about to catch up with Yu Niang in the palace, if you don't make him a high official, let him make wine for the Taiwei?"

Dong Zhuo has now been appointed as a Taiwei, and he has elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, and his words are presumptuous, as if the appointment and dismissal of officials of the Han Dynasty are all in a single thought, and he is already the emperor.

"My lord, Yuan Shao was originally an outstanding man, so it's nothing if he is released now."

Although Dong Zhuo's behavior was a bit embarrassing, Li Ru's character was ruthless, and he didn't take such things seriously, he just spoke seriously.

"As for that Wei Tao, he does have some ability, even at a young age. If he doesn't get rid of it, he may become a trouble for the lord's confidant in the future. However, since Yuan Shao is an outstanding man, naturally he will not let Wei Tao surpass him, and the two heroes will fight each other. There must be an injury, the lord sent Yuan Shao to Jizhou, it really was a brilliant move."

Wei Tao probably didn't expect that, in Li Ru's view, he seemed to be more worthy of attention than Yuan Shao. If he knew, he might have to smile bitterly.

"Haha...those two are no more than yellow-bearded children, and they are imprisoned for a long time. The old man is in charge of Chao Gang, and he can fiddle with them at will!"

Dong Zhuo's words were true, and now the entire imperial court, even a stubborn old man like Wang Yun, dare not face Dong Zhuo face to face.

"My lord's words are very true, but wait for me to make trouble for them."

Li Ru smiled, Li Ru's actions would only make Dong Zhuo laugh, Dong Zhuo didn't care much at all.

"Imperial decree: I have heard that there are bandits in Jizhou who are harassing the people and making people unable to live. However, all officials in Jizhou are responsible for the suppression, so please clear them up quickly!"

With this imperial decree, Yuan Shao immediately had the opportunity to order the counties to help wipe out the bandits in Heishan.

If Han Fu stood up at this time and commanded as the state shepherd, even Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, would not be able to surpass him.

But Han Fu seemed to be ignorant of this matter, allowing Yuan Shao to act. For a while, many people believed that Yuan Shao was the master of Jizhou.

"Han Fuying's dog's ear is really a laugh for the world."

When the news reached Wei Tao's ears, Wei Tao couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Of course, the news of the imperial decree this time was not top secret. In fact, it was spread all over the city on the second day.

The Black Mountain Army is the Yellow Turban Army, so it was easy to get the news.

Immediately, the two major counties, Shangdang and Zhaojun, all changed owners, and at the same time they were establishing Montenegro as the foundation of the Montenegro Army.

But what is really confusing is that at this time, the Yellow Turbans who were originally wandering in Jizhou also raised their banners one after another, wanting to rebuild the Holy Kingdom of Peace.

If it is said that there is a connection between the two, but there is no communication, there is not even an alliance, if there is no connection, how can it be so?

For a moment, people who were already very determined also had some doubts in their hearts, what kind of relationship did the black mountain bandits have with the yellow scarf bandits.

Of course, Wei Tao just smiled lightly when he received the news, and then focused his attention on Zhang Liao who was standing in front of him.

It's time for Zhang Liao to be alone.

This time Wei Tao will naturally send troops. After getting the support of Zhen's family and wine making in exchange for money and food, it is much easier for Wei Tao to recruit troops.

At this time, Wei Tao also had 5000 men under his command.

It's just that the real elite among the 5000 people is only a little more than a quarter.

The Black Mountain Bandit was born in the Yellow Turban. Wei Tao believes that even if there is a famous general in the world, it is impossible to build a strong army in a short period of time. Fighting the Black Mountain Bandit is the best way to train an army .

It's just that Wei Tao is no longer going to lead the army in this battle, but will hand it over to Zhang Liao to fight in person.

Zhang Liao had been Wei Tao's deputy for many years, and Wei Tao knew his abilities well, and believed that even if he led the army alone, he would not be defeated.

"Wen Yuan, this time the black mountain bandits are powerful. If you want to train your army, you must be careful not to be ambushed by the enemy. As for General Benchu, I will deal with it myself."

In fact, Wei Tao had already written a letter to Yuan Shao, talking about it, and believed that even if Yuan Shao had the idea of ​​spending other people's soldiers and horses to make meritorious service for him, he would not hit Wei Tao for a while.

Of course, the reason why Wei Tao is convinced that he can persuade Yuan Shao is that he said in the letter: Dong Zhuo's behavior has become more and more violent recently. Who else?

"No! I will not disappoint my lord."

After making a formal order, Zhang Liao bowed respectfully, and even the title changed accordingly. In fact, Zhang Liao had been convinced of Wei Tao for a long time, but he didn't say much.

This time, Wei Tao didn't stop or persuade him, it should be done properly!

"If you don't go through the war, you won't get elite soldiers. I don't make any demands. You just want to bring back three thousand elite soldiers."

This time Wei Tao planned to let Zhang Liao lead 4000 soldiers, but these [-] were almost all recruits, and their strength was not strong. Zhang Liao had to bring back at least [-] soldiers intact, which was not a low requirement.

"promise!"

But Zhang Liao didn't hesitate to deal with the matter.

Although Wei Tao did not tell Zhang Liao that the world would be in chaos in the future and the feudal lords would be divided into separate regimes, Wei Tao clearly pointed out that Dong Zhuo's tyranny would not last long and would surely attract the world's heroes to conquer.

In this way, Zhang Liao naturally knew this meaning better, and also understood the meaning of such an elite soldier.

"Don't worry, my lord! I have always known that my lord's ambition to attack the aliens in the north and help my great Han rivers and mountains will definitely be to train an elite army for my lord to live up to my lord's expectations."

"Okay! It's over to you!"

Wei Tao stood up and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder with a smile, and said very satisfied.

"Wen Yuan, please take care of everything. Remember, I will wait for you to return after completing the mission successfully."

"promise!"

"Dong Zhuo is in chaos, so there is no hero in the world?"

Dong Zhuo was extravagant and licentious, and he was hardly a minister in what he did in the court, but although many important officials in the court were dissatisfied, they dared not do anything. Situ Wangyun let out a long sigh, which made many people's complexions suddenly change, and they did not dare to speak.

Under Dong Zhuo's promotion, Wang Yun has become an official to Situ, almost an extremely human minister, but for Wang Yun, it is the most hated that the Han regime fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

Today Wang Yun tried his best to attract all the people who might be dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, but the people present looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

Obviously Dong Zhuo's notoriety has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"There are no heroes!"

Wang Yun cried out in pain again.

"How can you say that there is no hero? Others don't want to, but Meng De is willing to go through this experience!"

At this time, Cao Cao stood up again. Although he no longer has the name of Xiyuan Captain, Cao Cao had served in the military after all, and his bravery was known to the people at the time.

After knowing that Cao Cao was willing to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun even gave Cao Cao his treasured sword "Seven Stars Sword".

I have to say that Cao Cao's martial arts is still not bad, but Cao Cao is really not suitable for the job of an assassin. Although he intends to assassinate, he still falls short at the last moment. Fortunately, he escaped quickly.

After getting away, Cao Cao naturally didn't dare to stay in Luoyang anymore, and hurriedly fled from Luoyang.

But at this time, a big battle was going on on the Jizhou Plain.

It has been three months since Zhang Liao led the army to set off, but even Zhang Liao did not expect that things would have such a big development.

Originally, apart from eliminating hidden dangers, Yuan Shao still had a lot of thoughts, so he took the opportunity to win people's hearts and prepare for his future entry into Jizhou.

With such a mind, Yuan Shao didn't have too much thought of consuming other people's troops, but showed his own strength.

In fact, Yuan Shao's display of strength really shocked people from all the counties, even Zhang Liao himself did not dare to be sure that he could defeat any of the two sent by Yuan Shao.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuan Shao directly dispatched his confidant generals.

It has to be said that these two generals are both superior in strength, and leading their elite men into bandits is like a tiger into a flock of sheep, rushing forward all the way, there is no one to stand in the way.

But if you know, although Yuan Shao has recruited a lot of people, they are all newly recruited soldiers after all. Although he has won consecutive battles, his own losses are not small.

This sneak attack directly wiped out one-third of Yuan Shao's troops, and this was due to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yuan Shao suffered such a defeat, it would be a waste of time to recover, and he could only rely on others.

However, except for Zhang Liao, the leaders of the other counties in Jizhou are all mediocre people. After losing consecutive battles, they lost their morale.

In the end, except for the army led by Yuan Shao and Zhang Liao, the other troops did not dare to confront the Black Mountain bandits.

But at this time, Yuan Shao's goal had been achieved, and the leaders of the various counties and cities had already been won over by him.

Seeing that the bandits in Black Mountain were powerful, and if they continued to fight, the harm would outweigh the benefits, so Yuan Shao thought of retreating, and returned to Bohai County under the pretext of reorganizing his troops.

Once Yuan Shao retreated like this, the others also retreated separately, but Zhang Liao led the headquarters to continue fighting and never retreated for a while.
