Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 62 Zhang Yan's decision to send troops to Montenegro
Han Wu sat in the honored position on the stage, and Dian Wei guarded Han Wu's left front, guarding against Zhang Yan and the general he brought.

Han Wu took a sip of clear tea, drank it himself, and said, "Zhang Yan, you have endangered Jizhou for a long time, and the forces under your command are really not small."

"Why did you choose to surrender? This is something I really want to know. But I am very happy that you are willing to surrender."

Han Wu asked Zhang Yan tentatively, and Zhang Yan was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Han Wu's words were obviously not just words. If he answered badly, his head would probably fall to the ground.

Zhang Yan gritted her teeth.

He originally wanted to use his aura to scare Han Wu, but it was useless at all.

Zhang Yan felt that he could not compare with the old man not far away in terms of murderous aura; nor could Zhang Yan compare with Dian Wei in terms of violent aura.

Therefore, now Zhang Yan is at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Han Wu's question also made it difficult for him to answer directly.

Zhang Yan hesitated, and then said after a few seconds: "Young Master Han, the Black Mountain Army is the former Yellow Turban Army, and theoretically it is indeed against the party."

"However, we are different from those Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. We have never killed innocent people in Jizhou."

"Compared to fighting against officers and soldiers all the time, those of us actually want to live a down-to-earth life."

"No one is born willing to become a bandit. If life is good, the only people who become bandits are those who kill."

Zhang Yan spoke unhurriedly, and his subordinate's heart trembled suddenly, because Qu Shuai's words touched his heart.

At the beginning, no one in the Yellow Turban Army rebelled for the purpose of killing. Ninety-nine percent of the troops were forced to join the Yellow Turban Army because they had no food to eat.

The Han court was incompetent, and for the people at the bottom, there was no way out if they didn't rebel.

Now that Qu Shuai is going to surrender to Jizhou, it is indeed a good way to make life less difficult.

After Han Wu heard Zhang Yan's words, he nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied with Zhang Yan's answer in his heart.

Zhang Yan doesn't have any bells and whistles, he is a very down-to-earth person, but not a dull down-to-earth person.

Knowing the situation in Montenegro and knowing that Jizhou is willing to take them in, Zhang Yan's attitude is very clear.

Han Wu was quite satisfied with Zhang Yan's words. He nodded slightly and said, "I am quite satisfied with your answer. But there is one thing you must accept."

"I don't know how many bandit soldiers you have in Montenegro, but what I want to say is that I will only take down five thousand of your troops."

As soon as Han Wu said this, Zhang Yan was shocked, and he took a step back.

Originally on guard, Zhang Yan naturally subconsciously thought that Han Wu meant to let him massacre all the Black Mountain Army except 5000 people.

Zhang Yan absolutely refused to agree to this point. He looked at Han Wu vigilantly with a fierce look in his eyes.

Even Zhang Yan's lieutenant general had to immediately send out a signal to let those yellow scarf fighters outside the camp rush in and rescue Qu Shuai.

Originally thinking that the negotiation could not continue, Zhang Yan saw Han Wu laugh out loud, as if everything was under his control.

Han Wu restrained his laughter and said, "Very good! I like your current appearance and your current expression. You are a person who takes the lead and will not abandon his subordinates."

"A person who never abandons his subordinates must be a loyal person. I like a general like you very much."

Han Wu nodded slightly, he stood up, and walked in the opposite direction of Zhang Yan, followed by Dian Wei.

Han Wu walked to a distance of three meters from Zhang Yan, stood still and said, "I only take down [-] Black Mountain Army, and I want you to disband all the other Black Mountain Army under your command."

"I only want five thousand elites, because Jizhou has never raised miscellaneous soldiers. Those Black Mountain troops under your command can go to Bingzhou."

"Bingzhou is in the reclamation of Guantun Mintun. Whether the soldiers under your command are disarmed and returned to the fields, or join my Bingzhou army, I don't care about it."

"I will take in the people under your control and develop them in Bingzhou or in Jizhou."

"This is my condition. If you agree, you will be my general from now on. Five thousand Black Mountain Army will be handed over to you to command. If you don't agree, let's go now and we will start the war."

"Moreover, my military discipline is strict. You must abide by it after surrendering, otherwise you will be dealt with according to the military law and there will be no mercy."

Han Wu put it lightly, and handed over all the right to choose to Zhang Yan.

At the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the seat, and sat down directly.

Zhang Yan hesitated, he was thinking whether Han Wu was deceiving himself.

But after a few seconds, Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, ready to take a gamble.

"Okay! Then I, Chu Feiyan, pay my respects to the lord here! Wang Gou, quickly kneel down and pay my respects to the lord."

Zhang Yan made up his mind, he knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and clasped his fists to ask Han Wu for instructions.

Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, and he was called Feiyan in the army, so he directly said his real name.

It's all out of respect for Han Wu. In fact, Zhang Yan's long-cherished hope is to join the army.

But at this moment, a recruit guarding the camp ran in and knelt on one knee to report.

"My lord, there is a group of [-] enemy troops approaching ten miles to the northwest, and the scouts say they are bandits from the Black Mountain."

As soon as the soldier reported the situation, Zhang Yan stood up in fright.

Zhang Yan was worried that Han Wu would think he was a false surrender, so he had to find a way to explain clearly.

Han Wu's face darkened, and he said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yan, I'll give you time to explain and tell me what's going on."

Han Wu looked at Zhang Yan quietly, waiting for him to clarify which Black Mountain army attacked him.

Zhang Yan quickly swallowed, he can guarantee that this Black Mountain Army is definitely not his own.

"Reporting to my lord, this should be the part of my former general Tao Sheng or Pei Yuanshao, not mine."

"Both Tao Sheng and Pei Yuanshao have openly rebelled against me, and I can't control them now."

Zhang Yan explained a little nervously, he took a deep breath, hoping that Han Wu would not be suspicious because of this.

Pei Yuanshao obviously did it on purpose, he didn't want to surrender to Jizhou, Zhang Yan knew it well.

The general behind Zhang Yan, Wang Gou, snorted coldly, and was about to yell and scold Pei Yuanshao when he was frightened back by Zhang Yan's eyes.

Zhang Yan knew that he was just a surrendered general, and he must not act presumptuously until he had made achievements.

It's actually normal for Wang Gou to want to curse Pei Yuanshao loudly, but he can't do that on the current occasion.

Yelling at will is easy to be hated by Han Wu, Zhang Yan doesn't want to make any mistakes again.

After hearing Zhang Yan's explanation, Han Wu said, "In this case, let your trilogy deal with Pei Yuanshao. I'd like to see how your combat effectiveness is."

Seeing that Zhang Yan was a little nervous, Han Wu said something lightly and waved to him at the same time.

Hearing that Han Wu asked him to deal with Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please allow Zhang Yan to go back and dispatch the trilogy, and then lead the troops to stop Pei Yuanshao!"

Zhang Yan was very calm. After standing up, he got Han Wu's consent to leave the camp.

Dian Wei didn't understand why the lord would let Zhang Yan leave just like that. If he pretended to surrender, it would be very troublesome.

But since the lord is willing to trust Zhang Yan, Dian Wei naturally won't say anything more.

Zhang Yan left the camp and immediately got on his horse to dispatch the elite soldiers under his command.

Wang Gou ran with thirty yellow scarf fighters to keep up, and he also asked Zhang Yan: "Shuai Qu, is this how Han Wu surrendered us?"

"Could he be lying to us, and since Pei Yuanshao has brought troops here, maybe we can join him to defeat Han Wu."

"after all……"

Before Wang Gou finished speaking, Zhang Yan snorted coldly and glared at Wang Gou.

"Enough! Since I chose to surrender, you all supported me before, so you can't go back on your word."

"You just saw the situation in the Jizhou camp. With such an elite army, even ten Pei Yuanshao's trilogy can't defeat the Jizhou army."

"It is naturally better to surrender early. Since you have chosen to surrender, there is no reason to turn back."

Zhang Yan was very serious, he scolded Wang Gou directly, and Wang Gou also quickly admitted his mistake.

Wang Gou is Zhang Yan's general, and he is absolutely loyal, no matter what decision Zhang Yan makes, he will respect it.

Before Zhang Yan returned to his army, he shouted loudly and said, "Young Master Han is willing to recruit us and treat us very well."

"Whoever is willing to disarm and return to the field can get a piece of land in Bingzhou. If you are willing to have a head, Mr. Han is willing to surrender our five thousand soldiers."

"All the soldiers beyond 5000 were disarmed and returned to the fields, or went to Bingzhou as recruits."

"But now Pei Yuanshao is coming to make trouble and interfere with our good life in the future, I can't agree! Let's attack and defeat Pei Yuanshao!"

Zhang Yan yelled, he was already very powerful, now that he has spoken out all the benefits, the soldiers under his command are even more tempted.

Originally, I thought that there would be no benefit after surrendering, but now I heard that there is land to plant when I am disarmed and return to the fields. I don’t want to retire and I can continue to serve as a soldier. Naturally, it is the best.

"I am willing to surrender. Pei Yuanshao disturbs our good life, so we will fight with him!"

"Yes, fight him!"

The soldiers under Zhang Yan's command shouted one after another. He is more handsome and can easily stir up the atmosphere.

"Okay, brothers, charge with me! Defeat Pei Yuanshao, let Mr. Han see the strength of our Black Mountain Army and our value!"

Zhang Yan picked up the spear and rode out directly, heading towards the direction of Pei Yuanshao's trilogy.

The soldiers under his command fought bravely, and the elite of the Black Mountain Army were all with Zhang Yan, and their combat effectiveness was not weak.

After all, Zhang Yan manages the most Black Mountain Army, and he is Qu Shuai, and his soldiers are the bravest.

It was precisely because of this that Han Wu was willing to surrender Zhang Yan, otherwise he would not have bothered to surrender.

It may be more convenient to directly lead troops to raid, but Han Wu does not want to be too brutal when it comes to fighting with troops.

Hua Mulan also agrees with the young master's approach, but she has been disguised as a man now, so it is difficult to speak directly.

Women's voices cannot be concealed, so Hua Mulan was very worried about being found out as her daughter, so she basically didn't speak in big scenes.
