——Baituguan Black Mountain Army Barracks

A tent was detached, and sergeants on all sides stood a hundred paces away to make sure no one could hear the conversation inside.

Inside the tent, there were several generals of the Montenegrin Army, each with a black face.

According to the news found in the fine work, Yuan Shao was about to abandon them and was ready to take almost all the grain and grass with him.

They also wanted to confront Yuan Shao, but don't say that they can't see Yuan Shao, in the face of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other fierce generals, they don't dare to go to find it without Zhang Yan as the backbone.

But if they want to sit and wait for death, they are not reconciled.

"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, Yuan Gong will leave us and withdraw our troops... Brothers, you say, 'What shall we do?' ”

"What else can I do? As soon as Yuan Shao leaves, we will either wait to starve to death here, or we will switch and surrender! ”

"The great sage and good teacher was killed by that horse strong, and he also killed so many of our brothers, if you surrender, you will talk about it after a certain level!"

"If you don't surrender, you die!"

"Why don't we go too!"

"How far can you go without food? Thirty miles? Or fifty miles? Don't forget, we have other people's eyes on top of our heads! ”

The tent was silent, and everyone was sighing, not knowing where their way out was.

"It would be nice if the general was here..."

One person talked about Zhang Yan, but several of them were even more dissatisfied.

"General Zhang... Hehe, we can see him running south with his own soldiers, I'm afraid he is now in Montenegro. ”

"Generals, I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." The White Snake suddenly spoke, he was not qualified to sit here, but the news that Yuan Shao was going to run was the first to be discovered by him, if the Black Mountain Army could still exist, in terms of meritorious deeds, the White Snake would also become the lord of a village in the future, so these military leaders let him also participate in the meeting, which can be regarded as a reward in advance.

"White Snake, tell me about it."

"I heard that many of Ma Qiang's generals are former Taoist friends, and I think as long as we are willing to serve, he will definitely accept it.

On the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, and they have killed many of our brothers, so didn't we kill his soldiers?

Anyway, I want to live, I think the other brothers are also of the same idea as me, for the sake of the great sage and good teacher said that the peaceful world died on the battlefield, we have no complaints, but for a famous family who abandoned us and starved to death here, I don't want to! ”

White Snake's words made many people nod in agreement, they do have a grudge against Ma Qiang, but really speaking, the princes of the Han Dynasty, who does not have the blood of the Yellow Turban Army in their hands.

"If Yuan Shao is unkind, we will be unjust! Without further ado, we will immediately send someone out of the customs to contact Ma Zhengbei, as long as he is willing to admit our Black Mountain Army, we will open the gate and let him enter the customs to arrest Yuan Shao! ”

"That's right! Let him enter the customs and arrest Yuan Shao! ”

"We have made such a big contribution, he Ma Qiang will not be too stingy!"

These military leaders immediately decided, and sent people to fall out of the city by the night rope to find Ma Qiang to denounce.

——

"Path? Can you clear the pot? ”

In the camp, Ma Qiang heard the news, and his face was suspicious.

This will not be the ploy of Fu Zhu, Xu You and others, to deceive themselves into besieging and killing themselves after entering the customs, so as to turn defeat into victory.

These strategists seem to like to use such tricks.

"It is the ancient road of Zhongshan in the past, although it is in disrepair and full of thorns, but it is indeed walkable."

"Zhongshan Ancient Road..."Ma Qiang looked at Han Fu and the others on the side and asked about the authenticity of this matter.

Wang Xiu arched his hand and said, "Ming Gong, after the three families were divided into Jin, the Wei State attacked Zhongshan, the Zhongshan State was destroyed, and the rest of the troops retreated into the Taihang Mountains, established a number of mountain cities, and successfully restored the country after 20 years.

But this was 600 years ago, and no one can say how many ancient cities and ancient roads there are in Taihang Mountain today. ”

Six hundred years ago?

Tut-tut, our Chinese history is really long...

The corners of Ma Qiang's mouth twitched, and he looked at the sergeant of the Black Mountain Army who came to report the news and said, "Yuan Shao is gone, even if he goes to Huguan, I don't have to spend a little more effort, and I can still capture and kill him."

Although I am glad that you want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but you want to continue to maintain the independence of the Montenegrin army, this is absolutely impossible.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, your Montenegrin army has been entrenched in the Taihang Mountains for nearly ten years, which is long enough, and I will never allow me to have a place outside the law under my rule.

But I'm not not going to give you a way to live, now the people of Bingzhou are withering, Sili is in the wilderness for thousands of miles, and they are in urgent need of population replenishment, I am ready to move most of you out of the Taihang Mountains, divide the fields in Bingzhou and Sili to you, reduce your taxes, and provide you with livestock and farm tools for farming for free, if you are willing to join the army, you can continue to serve in the army after the assessment of our northern army, and if you don't want to, go home and be a common man.

As for your property, you can keep it, I think after so many years, even if your Qu Shuai doesn't want to be an official under me, it is enough to go home and become a rich man. ”

Seeing Ma Qiang like this, the sergeant of the Montenegrin Army didn't dare to say more, and retreated, and as soon as Ma Qiang waited for him to leave, he immediately gathered everyone to arrange.

"Yuan Shao actually found the ancient road to Huguan, where is Guan Hai now?" Ma Qiang asked, looking at the map.

"Commander Guan said in a previous call that because the road in the mountains is difficult to travel, and there are villages of the Black Mountain Army blocking the road from time to time, so I can only walk twenty or thirty miles a day, and until now, I have only walked near Longjianggou, but there is a big cottage in front of me, and I am afraid it will be delayed for another day or two."

Ma Qiang found Longjiang Ditch on the map, compared it, and found that he had walked half of the entire journey, and before Longjiang Ditch, he did mark a place called Longxi Pavilion, and he thought that this place had been transformed into a cottage by the Black Mountain Army.

"Inform Guan Hai Yuan Shao that he may have to flee to Huguan, and let him arrive at Huguan within seven days, no, five days.

Then send a telegram to Huang Zhong and ask him to send troops and horses to the ancient city of Zhongshan to intercept Yuan Shao.

Gan Shi, you immediately take off with an airship, one stares at the movement in Baitu Pass, you take the other ship through Baitu Pass and fly southwest, looking for the ancient road, at least, to find the ancient city.

Huang Xu, as soon as the day dawns, immediately organize artillery to storm Baitu Pass, Tai Shici, your Xuanjia cavalry should be able to fight when you get off the horse, right? You and the Ninth Army and the Sixth Army attack Baitu Pass together, I don't care whether the Black Mountain Army surrenders or not, tomorrow's lunch, I want to eat in Baitu Pass! ”

After a few days of repairs, and the siege of Yecheng was lifted, the waterway was unblocked, and the gunpowder had been transported again, which could support a battle.

Everyone listened to the order and prepared to go, and the sergeant of the Montenegrin Army also returned to the pass and conveyed Ma Qiang's reply to the leaders of the Montenegrin Army.

The conditions given by Ma Qiang can be said to be too far from what the Montenegrin Army imagined, which made these leaders of the Montenegrin Army extremely dissatisfied.

Yes, your army to conquer the north is very powerful, the firearms are sharp, and the soldiers are brave, and we can't beat you.

But wasn't Huangfu Song powerful back then? When we entered the mountains, no matter how much the sergeant could fight, they couldn't find us, so we had a fart.

Of course... If we can get out.
