Soon after Zhongshan, Taihang Mountain also began to be lively, and bandits from various places began to gather together, and soon more than 10,000 people gathered.

"Now that our army has gathered more than 10,000 people, do you think it is enough?" Zhang Niujiao said slowly to everyone.

"Marshal, now Jizhou has only sent more than 5,000 people, and if our army wants to win, I am afraid that we need to recruit 5,000 to ensure that we will win!" Yu Poison stood up again and said, although he is a rough man, he is in charge of external intelligence, and it can be said that he is the one who has the most right to speak.

"Okay, just listen to what General Yu said, gather five thousand people to ensure that we can achieve a comprehensive victory!" Zhang Niujiao said loudly after hearing Yu Poison's words, in fact, if he really wants to win, Zhang Niujiao can use all the troops on Taihang Mountain to nearly 100,000 people, but at that time, he was completely torn with Yuan Shao, and at that time, the materials of Taihang Mountain could not support the 100,000 army to fight for a long time, so every time he fought, Zhang Niujiao tried his best to send fewer soldiers.

"It's handsome!" Yang Feng also nodded slightly after hearing this, and walked to the side, generally as long as Zhang Niujiao went out to fight, Yang Feng's entire second-in-command stayed in the army, and vice versa.

Soon under Yang Feng's arrangement, the remaining soldiers were quickly assembled, Zhang Niujiao took a cadre of soldiers to run towards the foot of Taihang Mountain after a simple arrangement, and during this time there have been several cottages destroyed by Xu Yu and the two, Zhang Niujiao also has to go to investigate, after all, no one knows Xu You's combat methods now, as well as the growth of the ability of Jizhou soldiers, this is also the first conflict between Zhang Niujiao and Yuan Shao, Zhang Niujiao does not want to be crushed to death the first time, otherwise it will be difficult to turn over in the future.

Soon Zhang Niujiao came to the foot of Taihang Mountain with an army of 15,000 behind him, and I don't know if it was due to luck, or Xu You and others had already expected that Zhang Niujiao's army and Jizhou's army met gorgeously in this Taihang Mountain.

The two armies couldn't help but be stunned, but they quickly reacted, after all, the two armies were not vegetarians, and with the continuous change of formation ahead, the commanders of the two armies learned the news.

Soon Zhang Niujiao, Guo Yuqiong and others came to the front of various armies, looking at each other's formations with fierce eyes, even if there was a little flaw, the other party would immediately press the army, after all, the two sides had long stood on opposite sides, and there was no possibility of peace.

"Strategist, the strong man in front is Zhang Niujiao, and behind him are his generals Poison and Bai Rao!" Guo Yuqiong said slowly to Xu Yu beside him, his eyes were full of jealousy, he knew his own skills best, and he could still get out of the way against Yu Yu and Bai Rao, but if the two of them were together, he could only fight hard, not to mention that there was a Zhang Niujiao who didn't know the depth.

"What? Are they awesome? "Xu You is also worthy of being a first-class strategist, even if he has some small flaws, he still dare not be underestimated.

"That's right, if Yu Poison and Bai Rao were one person, I would still be able to win, but if the two of them were together, I could only try my best to stop the two of them, but now that Zhang Niujiao is also here, I'm afraid it's more than lucky!" Guo Yuqiong looked left and right for a while, and then whispered in Xu You's ear, after all, such a blow to morale still can't be said clearly, otherwise it will easily cause the rout of the army.

Xu You's eyes couldn't help but pang after hearing Guo Yuqiong's words, Xu You had already expected such a thing, after all, Guo Yuqiong was only at a medium level in the army, and the bandits were able to gather nearly 200,000 people, which is enough to show that there must be masters among them, perhaps only Yan Liang and Wen Chou can suppress each other in force in the army.

"Strategist, if they attack later, you should run for your life! I'll tell you to stop them! Guo Yuqiong didn't know what Xu You was thinking, and whispered to Xu You.

Xu You looked at Guo Yuqiong beside him in some surprise, he didn't expect that Guo Yuqiong would use his life to create a chance for himself to escape, just now he also said that he couldn't be the opponent of the other party, but since he knew that he had to stop the enemy for himself, this made Xu You very moved in his heart.

"Okay, what do you say? Who said we'd die here, just watch from the sidelines! Xu You patted Guo Yuqiong's chest with his feather fan and said slowly, his eyes full of confidence.

After Guo Yuqiong heard Xu You's words, she couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, but when she reacted, Xu You had already slapped his horse and went to the front of the two armies, Guo Yuqiong couldn't help gritting his teeth when he saw this, Xu You was Yuan Shao's right-hand man, and Guo Yuqiong, as Yuan Shao's retainer, naturally didn't want Yuan Shao's right-hand man to die at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Zhang Niujiao looked at the two people who walked out of the formation, and his eyes couldn't help but smile, "Yu Poison, these two people are Guo Yuqiong and Xu You?" ”

After Yu Poison and Bai Rao heard Zhang Niujiao's words, they also squinted at the two people who came over, and after carefully observing them, they said, "Dashuai, there is indeed Guo Yuqiong among the people who came, but it is uncertain whether the other person is Xu You's subordinate!" ”

"Hmph, even if Xu Yu escapes, we have to leave Guo Yuqiong behind, otherwise others will think that our Black Mountain Army is easy to bully!" Zhang Niujiao snorted coldly and said, "Bai Rao will wait for you to suppress the formation in the army, once you find that the other party has any abnormal movements, you can directly lead the troops to crush and don't care about us!" ”

"No!" Bai Rao also nodded slightly after hearing Zhang Niujiao's words, he is still very clear about Zhang Niujiao's thoughts, although now Yuan Shaoxin has won Jizhou, but the Montenegrin army is actually very bad, which is still because the population base is too large Zhang Niujiao is difficult to command, so now the Montenegrin Army is rectifying in accordance with Zhang Niujiao's way, once the rectification is successful, then Zhang Niujiao will also have the strength to compete for Jizhou.

"Do you dare to go with me?" After Zhang Niujiao saw Bai Rao nodding, he said to Yu Poison beside him, although his ability can suppress Guo Yuqiong, but there is another existence next to him who he doesn't know who it is, he Zhang Niujiao will soon be able to sit on the strength of Jizhou, he is not willing to take this risk.

"The subordinates are willing to meet the enemy together with the commander!" After hearing Zhang Niujiao's words, Yu Poison hurriedly said, he didn't want Zhang Niujiao to be suspicious of himself.

Zhang Niujiao didn't say anything after hearing it, just patted his horse and walked in the direction of Guo Yuqiong and the others, Yu Poison saw this and immediately followed, his eyes were also staring at the two people in front of him, as long as the other party had the slightest movement, he would swing the sharp knife in his hand.

"The person who came is Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Dashuai!" Before Zhang Niujiao approached, Xu You said loudly at Zhang Niujiao, as if the underground workers lurking inside the enemy were about to revolt.

Zhang Niujiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu You's words, and then walked forward quickly, although Zhang Niujiao's face was as calm as water, but his heart had already become a hemp rope, and he didn't know how to say it at the moment after preparing words for a long time.

Soon the four of them came together, and Xu You said with a smile on his face, "Zhang Dashuai, I am Xu You, and I am the messenger sent by the lord!" ”

"Emissary?" Zhang Niujiao looked at Xu You's words, his eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly reacted, "Then I don't know why the envoy wants to kill my subordinates all the way?" ”

After Xu You heard Zhang Niujiao's words, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said slowly: "Then why did the commander send soldiers to ambush our grain transportation team?" ”

"I don't, and neither do my subordinates, after all, I still have to give your lord's face!" Zhang Niujiao's eyes opened slightly, and he said slowly, and his body couldn't help but burst out with an amazing momentum.

"Since the marshal has said so, then I naturally believe it, as for those thieves, please rest assured, I just killed some small thieves who are not in the stream, presumably Zhang Dashuai will not suggest it!" Xu You said slowly, but his words were also very resolute.

After Zhang Niujiao heard Xu You's words, the thoughts in his head became even more confused, and he didn't know what to say, after all, those thieves were also thieves who didn't enter the stream, and they didn't really surrender to him Zhang Niujiao, he naturally didn't want to tear his face apart because of these thieves who had nothing to do with him, and overlords like Yuan Shao.

"Say it! What is Yuan Shao's real intention in sending you here? Zhang Niujiao sighed helplessly and said slowly, he knew that he was already in a lower position in this negotiation.

"My father-in-law wants to repair relations with Zhang Dashuai! That's why I was sent! Xu You said slowly, he also knew that he couldn't force Zhang Niujiao to be too anxious now, otherwise he would definitely be in a different place here, as for Yuan Shao and Zhang Niujiao to reconcile, it was just an excuse that Xu You made up casually.

"Repairing relations? What sincerity does he Yuan Shaoke have? Zhang Niujiao heard Xu You's words and said slowly, and his heart was also very excited, Xu You's words can be said to have handed the initiative back to his hands.

"It's simple, just don't interfere with each other! After my lord takes control of Jizhou, I will send you money and food every month, but when there is a war in the future, you have to come and listen to my lord's orders! What do you think? Xu You turned his head and said.

Zhang Niujiao couldn't help but ponder after hearing Xu You's words, in fact, Zhang Niujiao didn't listen to the conditions and obligations of the alliance at all, because he believed that he would be able to lead the army south to Jizhou and kill Yuan Shao in Zhongshan soon after a month.

As for why Zhang Niujiao didn't talk for a long time, it was also because he wanted Xu You to think that he was really thinking about forming an alliance, so that Yuan Shao could relax his vigilance against himself in the short term.

"Okay, I agreed, and I hope that Xu Junshi will convey Yuan Zhoumu's sincerity to me for me......"
