Yecheng is now occupied by the Montenegrin Army and the Wei County rebels, and more than 60,000 men and horses are camped in the open space in the city, as for the heads of the Montenegrin Army, such as Zhang Yan and others, they naturally have their residences.

After seizing Jizhou, they still needed officials to manage, so Zhang Yan did not abuse the original officials in Yecheng, unless someone was dishonest. After all, their Montenegrin army is very good at looting, but they have no manpower to manage. Zhang Yan has been a general in Montenegro for several years, and this is still very clear.

Of course, Zhang Yan and they will not treat themselves badly, and they will not offend the officials of Yecheng, but those rich businessmen have suffered.

After the Montenegrin army occupied Yecheng, the leaders of a certain level in the army chose their favorite mansions, and then expelled all the merchants who lived in them. Although the merchants were angry, they had no choice, now that the entire Yecheng was in the hands of the Black Mountain Army, who else could they talk to? Moreover, the Black Mountain Army just drove them away, and their money and women were not touched, which was also Zhang Yan's order. Because the Montenegrin Army was once recruited by the imperial court, they were also more formal than the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. If it is replaced by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, these businessmen will be killed directly, and then their money and women will be robbed. It is precisely because of this that the merchants did not resist so much. Of course, even if they resisted, it would be useless.

Zhang Yan lives in a more luxurious mansion among the merchants, and as the head of the Montenegrin Army, his treatment is naturally the best. Secondly, Tao Sheng, Yang Feng, Yu Poison and others also lived on the left and right sides of Zhang Yan, so if there was anything going on, they could gather together to discuss.

It was already past the hour, but Zhang Yan couldn't sleep, tossing and turning. I felt a little uneasy in my heart, this feeling was very mysterious, but Zhang Yan was convinced. The Montenegrin Army, which was once surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, was able to turn the corner every time because of this feeling, and under his leadership. And tonight, this feeling came again, and Zhang Yan knew that something must be going to happen.

It's just that now that they have control of Yecheng, as long as they hold the city gate tightly and wait until Gongsun Chan and the black-robed people arrive, what else will happen!

Since she couldn't sleep, Zhang Yan simply got up from the bed, stood shirtless, and stood in front of the window to look up at the moonlight tonight. However, Zhang Yan was in a bad mood, even God was against him, the thick dark clouds covered the bright moon, and there was no shadow of the moon at all, seeing this, Zhang Yan felt even more depressed in his heart.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just when he was feeling depressed, there was a knock on the door outside the house, Zhang Yan was surprised, who would come to him at such a late hour?

"Yan Shuai, have you fallen asleep?"

Hearing the voice coming from outside the house, Zhang Yan immediately knew who it was. After walking a few steps to the door, he opened the door, and the person who came was Yu Poison.

Seeing Zhang Yan's expression, Yu Poison asked curiously, "Yan Shuai, seeing that your face is not good, you haven't slept yet?"

Zhang Yan exhaled a few breaths vigorously, and said with a little annoyance: "I'm a little irritable, I can't sleep, I want to get up and look at the moon, damn it, God is against Lao Tzu, and I don't see a single hair." ”

Everyone is from a rough background, and Yu Poison doesn't feel anything about Zhang Yan's swearing. However, if Tao Sheng was present, he would definitely say that everyone is a person with status and status, and he must abide by etiquette when speaking. Although everyone didn't care about Tao Sheng's words, they didn't refute him, after all, they were all brothers, and they couldn't ignore Tao Sheng's kindness, and Tao Sheng was also thinking about everyone. Now that only Zhang Yan and Yu Poison are present, they naturally have no scruples.

"By the way, Yu Poison, it's so late, what are you looking for me?"

After laughing for a while, Zhang Yan remembered that it was so late, and Yu Poison should have something to do when he came to find him, so he hurriedly asked.

Yu Poison frowned, and said in a heavy tone: "Yan Shuai, I always have a feeling that mountain rain is about to come these days. Especially in the daytime, Na Lu Bu's behavior was a little weird. We all knew that he was sent by Yuan Shao, and given the situation at that time, it would not be difficult for him to kill us at all. Once we die, if Yecheng is not commanded, it will be easily taken by Yuan Shao. Moreover, the words before Lu Bu left, I also felt that it seemed to remind us of something. I've been thinking about this all the time, and I can't sleep, so I want to come and discuss it with Yan Shuai. ”

Zhang Yan's brows also furrowed, and she said in a deep voice: "I also feel that something is wrong, and besides, I have already gone to bed and prepared for bed." However, there was always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, and I couldn't sleep at all!"

Listening to Zhang Yan's words, Yu Yan also frowned. Zhang Yan's feeling has helped them many times, so Yu Poison doesn't think that Zhang Yan is worrying about the sky, is there really something going to happen, it makes people feel bored when they think about it. Even if they knew at this moment that Yuan Shao would lead a million-strong army to surround Yecheng, Zhang Yan and they would not feel any irritation, they would have already tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they would not be afraid of death. Only this kind of thing that is about to happen, but you don't know what it is, makes people feel bad.

"Yan Shuai, tonight I will send my cronies to investigate outside the city. I've told them to come back every half hour to report back to me, but it's been almost two hours, and I haven't come back yet, so I think something might have happened. ”

Zhang Yan looked stunned and hesitated: "Could it be that there is nothing wrong, so they didn't come back?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhang Yan was the first to overturn this suspicion in his own heart. Yu Poison has always been cautious, and once he gives an order, Yu Poison's command will definitely carry it out completely. Since Yu Poison said that they would come back in half an hour to report once, they would definitely come back, and since they didn't come back, it means that they were unexpected, or they were intercepted and couldn't come back. Either way, it means that something has happened.

"Yan Shuai, I told them very seriously at the time that no matter whether something happened or not, they had to come back and report. Now, I'm afraid it's..."

Hearing Yu Poison's words, Zhang Yan knew that there was no luck, and it seemed that something really happened.

"In that case, without further ado, immediately send an order, let the generals gather their men and horses, and be ready at any time, maybe there will be a big battle tonight!"

Zhang Yan already had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, and after listening to Yu Poison's words, she immediately made a decision.

"Step, step, step..."

"Kill!"

"Sweep away the Black Mountain thieves!"

Zhang Yan put on his armor, but he heard the tsunami-like shouts of killing outside, and suddenly, Zhang Yan's face changed. picked up the spear in the corner of the wall, and hurriedly ran out of the house with Yu Poison.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy?"

Zhang Yan's cronies had already run out to inquire about the news, and after a while, I saw the cronies running in with a panicked face, and before they could take a breath, they hurriedly said: "Yan Shuai, Yuan Shao's army has entered the city, and there are people everywhere, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of troops..."

"Bastard!"

Zhang Yan listened to the words of his cronies, and immediately scolded angrily: "Yuan Shao left with 20,000 people at the beginning, even if the soldiers in the entire territory of Jizhou add up, there are not hundreds of thousands. Where did he get hundreds of thousands of horses, ah!"

Yu Poison could still stay calm at the moment, and hurriedly persuaded: "Yan Shuai, it's useless to be angry now, we have to figure out the situation first." The walls of Yecheng City are thick, and it is impossible to attack it so quickly, unless there are traitors. If there were traitors, Yuan Shao would definitely know about our plan, maybe he had already prepared for it, there were no hundreds of thousands of people, but there were still eighty or ninety thousand people. Damn, Yuan Shao transferred troops under our noses, and we didn't even notice it. By the way, who's guarding the gates tonight?"

As if thinking of something, Yu Poison hurriedly asked Zhang Yan's cronies.

"Yu Shuai, tonight is Tao Shuai guarding the city gate. The cronies hurriedly replied, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "When my subordinates went to investigate just now, some brothers said that Tao Shuai had rebelled, and opened the city gate to let Yuan Shao in. ”

"Fart!"

When Zhang Yan heard this, his eyes turned red, and he stepped forward and kicked his cronies over, and roared angrily: "Tao Sheng is the first to be righteous, no one in the Montenegrin army knows, what is your intention when you say Tao Sheng? I will take people to the city gate now to see what is going on." ”

The cronies were kicked down by Zhang Yan, gritted their teeth, and didn't say anything. Zhang Yan usually treats these cronies very well, if it weren't for what he just said, he would definitely not be angry. His cronies knew there would be such consequences, but he spoke out anyway. At the beginning, his cronies did not believe that Tao Sheng, who was the first in righteousness, would rebel, but after questioning many brothers, he had to believe that Tao Sheng had rebelled.

"Yan Shuai, don't be impulsive!"

Yu Yu hurriedly stopped Zhang Yan and admonished: "Yan Shuai, now that Yuan Shao's army has entered the city, although our Montenegrin army is brave, it is not the opponent of the regular soldiers of the imperial court, so we should evacuate here first." As for whether Tao Sheng rebelled, we naturally knew afterwards. Yan Shuai, you have to calm down, now the lives of tens of thousands of brothers are under your decision!"

Zhang Yan gritted his teeth, his face was gloomy, and finally he nodded heavily, agreeing with Yu Poison's opinion.

"Immediately send the order, and the army will gather at the north gate and leave the city!"

Yu Poison directly ordered Zhang Yan's cronies, and the cronies did not hesitate, and left quickly after receiving the order. And the reason why Yu Poison chose to retreat at the North Gate was because he had already arranged it when he felt that something was wrong before.
