King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 593 Zhang Yan's Thoughts

Liu He squinted at Zhang Yan, who kept his head down and said nothing, and said quietly, "General Zhang Yan! How is Luoyang doing?"

Zhang Yan immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, forgive me, that Zhong Yao is a fierce general of the Cao army, and he resisted very tenaciously. After three days of fierce attack, I still can't attack the city wall. The city deserves to die!"

"Huh!" Liu He snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Now that General Zhang Baiqi is here, Hongnong is about to take it, and Luoyang has become an isolated city. Now, General Zhang Yan can probably take it easily. right?"

Zhang Yan didn't dare to say no, and of course it was impossible to agree, and immediately said: "I will definitely serve my life with my death!"

Liu He curled his lips and said, "You don't need to die for your life, you just need to break through the city as soon as possible!"

"Accept orders!" Zhang Yan had no choice but to agree, no one dared to speak too much, ever since Liu He, with the help of Sima Yi, held a large army, he became more and more arrogant, and broke through Hulao Pass in three days, and now some of them have reached Hangu Pass and half of the country. Hongnong will become more and more out of control, showing a violent and greedy side. Although it is normal for a monarch who has been suppressed for a long time, this kind of behavior is also very normal, but don't forget Liu He, you can be with others Your monarch is different, you have much more hidden dangers, but then again, with Diao Chan by Liu He's side, Liu He has already been confused to the core, what Diao Chan makes Liu He think, what will Liu He do Think about it, the princes who seem to have infinite scenery have actually been subdued by a little girl...

Liu He looked at Zhang Yan and waved his hands and said unhappily: "Okay, let's go down! I believe that Zhong Yao's son is definitely not your opponent, General Zhang Yan!"

Zhang Yan hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your trust!" After speaking, she led the soldiers under her command to leave the command tent...

As soon as Zhang Yan left, Liu He smiled and said to Sima Yi: "Zhong Da! I never thought that this white knight would have such a ferocious soldier as the Yellow Turban Warrior! It must be cultivated vigorously!"

Sima Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, this yellow turban fighter was forged by Zhang Baiqi using the method created by Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher back then. His fighting power is terrifying!" Of course, it is not something that can be said to Liu He. Sima Yi also believes that for Liu He, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

"Okay!" Liu He slapped the table, and immediately said: "Immediately allocate food, grass and weapons to Zhang Baiqi, and let him speed up the training of this yellow scarf warrior!"

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that yellow scarf fighter can't be trained just by distributing food, grass and weapons at will!" Sima Yi couldn't help sneering in his heart: "Such a hero, can you ask for as many soldiers as you want? Hmph! Fantastic! "

Liu He immediately dissatisfied: "Hmph! Could it be that the yellow turban warriors can only be consumed all the time and cannot be replenished? Isn't it a pity that this can only be effective for a while! There will be more enemies in the future, and the yellow turban warriors can be of great use. Now there are only 500 people, and if we continue to consume like this, before we can unite the whole world, the yellow turban fighters will be exhausted!" Liu He didn't know the side effects of the yellow turban fighters, thinking that such a heroic soldier was given to him by God for free, so he came out In front of the already dilapidated Cao Jun, all the princes in the world are still waiting for him to crusade, and Li Yuanjie is a thorn in his heart, so Liu He is very firm in his heart, he must reuse this yellow scarf warrior!

Sima Yi rolled his eyes and said slowly: "My lord, how about this, we can imitate Li Yuanjie's method of training the blood-killing battalion, how about sorting Cao Jun's prisoners and training the Yellow Turban Warriors?"

Liu He immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, let's do this. It's useless to keep those Cao Jun prisoners. If those old men didn't beg me, I would have killed them a long time ago. An order was issued to escort the five thousand Cao Jun prisoners who were in Hulao Pass immediately." Give Zhang Baiqi and order him to train a large number of yellow scarf fighters!"

"Promise!" Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has the power of a yellow scarf warrior, so he will definitely be like a tiger with wings!"

"Haha..." A series of laughter came from Liu He...

As for Zhang Yan and the generals who left the king's tent, they still have tasks, and they still have to lead the army to attack the city. After hearing what Liu He and Sima Yi said, everyone looked back at Liu He and the king's tent. There was laughter and laughter, Zhang Yan couldn't express the feeling in his heart, while the Bingzhou soldiers on the side looked at the tent with great resentment.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Jun in front of Luoyang City.It was also a slow retreat, and another day of arduous siege, Zhang Yan still failed to conquer Luoyang. Besides, this solid Luoyang city, coupled with Zhong Yao's prestige, proper command, and the decision to deal with Liu He, there It was so easy to capture, the leader Zhang Yan looked at Luoyang City intently, sighed helplessly, and shouted: "Ming Jin retreats!"

"Thump, thump, thump..." There was a sound of clattering gold, and the Bingzhou soldiers retreated like a tide.

Looking at the cheering Cao Jun in Luoyang City, and a big Han general among them, Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "This Zhong Yao is not easy. I waited for more than three days for the fierce attack, and the city will not fall!"

"Father said yes." On the side, Zhang Yan's son Zhang Fang nodded, looked at Guan Guan and said, "In terms of martial arts, Zhong Yao is not the enemy of his father, but in terms of command, this person may not be inferior to his father. Cao Jun is fierce. Not under me and the state army!"

"My lord!" Seeing no one around, Tao Sheng rode his horse into Zhang Yan and said in a low voice, "My lord! Don't you think something is wrong now?"

Zhang Yan frowned, wondering: "What are you talking about?"

Tao Sheng said in a deep voice: "King Zhao! He has changed, he is very different from before!"

Zhang Yan was startled, and hurried around the royal family. In fact, there is no need to be guilty. The surroundings are also his brothers from the state army, but Zhang Yan still looked at it vigilantly, and immediately lowered his head and said, "You brat, you are looking for death. Outrageous words!"

Tao Sheng immediately said: "Hmph! Could it be that someone can't beat you, my lord, the current King Zhao is not a wise lord at all. Are you still willing to be under its command?"

Zhang Yan was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Now that you are living under the fence, don't ask me such things. What else can our army do, and go back to the deep mountains? It took a group of you brothers to come out with difficulty. , how can we go back again, Tao Sheng, although... not bad! King Zhao is not the former King Zhao, no! It may be that we didn't see his true face clearly before and were deceived, but we What choice is there?"

Tao Sheng said in a low voice: "My lord will not stop doing anything! Give him..." As he spoke, Tao Sheng flattened his palm and swung it viciously!
"No!" Zhang Yan immediately said: "Then who am I to become? Are you making everyone in the world laugh at me, Zhang Yan?"

Tao Sheng said: "Could it be that my lord is willing to obey the orders of such a tyrant, and is willing to assist such a tyrant to ascend to the throne? What is the difference between the world after that and the world when we rebelled? Shuai Qu, our oath back then Have you all forgotten?"

"Shuai Qu!" Zhang Yan muttered to himself. This is an unfamiliar name. It was still called him when he was in the Yellow Turban Army. Since he formed the Black Mountain Army, he told everyone not to call him that anymore. , but the word Tao Sheng hit Zhang Yan's heart like a heavy hammer. Zhang Yan said slowly: "Tao Sheng, I haven't forgotten the reason why we rebelled in the first place, but the current form is really It makes me helpless, Tao Sheng, I promise you brothers, as long as Liu He is still such a tyrannical and greedy person, who doesn’t know how to treat the people well, and there is still a chance, I will definitely fulfill my original oath!”

"Understood!" A little smile appeared on Tao Sheng's face, and then he said in a deep voice: "I am willing to follow Qu Shuai for life!"

"A certain class too!" The old brothers of the Black Mountain Army had already heard Tao Sheng's words, but they were not as straight-minded as Tao Sheng, who dared to speak, and never joined in. When they heard what Zhang Yan said, they had already told him. Tao Sheng's brothers who had an idea immediately cupped their fists and said in a concentrated voice.

"Hmm!" Zhang Yan responded deeply, then sighed, and said lightly, "Forget it, let's bow down to Liu He's command for the time being. Anyway, now I'm following Zhao Jun, and I've already got rid of that thief. Words, it can be said that there has been a great improvement! Let's focus on Liu He first!"

"En!" Everyone nodded.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yan turned his horse's head, turned and headed towards the camp, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Heyan told me to take Luoyang City in five days, but I have two days left before the five-day deadline. Tomorrow you will fight with me in person!"

"No!" Tao Sheng responded with clasped fists, but Zhang Fang frowned and said hesitantly, "Father, why don't we come here today to attack at night, how about it?"

"Night attack?" Zhang Yan pulled the rein, turned around and frowned and said, "Zhong Yao is also a good fighter, how can he be defenseless?"

"Father's words are different!" Zhang Fang immediately stepped forward and said seriously: "In the past three days, we have been tackling key problems at sunrise and returning to camp at sunset. It's unprepared, it's just what the art of war needs! Father!"

"This..." Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Tao Sheng, Tao Sheng hesitated, nodded and said, "It's possible!"

"Okay!" Zhang Yan glanced back at Luoyang City and said in a low voice, "Today we will attack Luoyang City at night!"

"If you want to attack!" Tao Sheng said, "Push our troops up, Zhong Yao's troops will be unstoppable!"

"Good!" Everyone smiled and nodded.

Zhang Yan praised her son Zhang Fang and said: "You boy, you can train in Bingzhou in the past few years!"

Zhang Fang immediately smiled and said, "Thank you father for the compliment!" Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Fang and nodded with a smile.
