Li Xian and Zhao Yun led 1,500 men and a light army into the Lion Sound Valley.

Because it is a mountain road, you can't ride a horse, and everyone is on foot.

Li Xian didn't even wear armor, it was too heavy to put on that thing, and it was difficult to walk on the mountain road.

He held a knife in his hand and walked in front with Zhao Yun.

After walking about three miles, suddenly, the detective in front reported that there was a group of bandits coming out of the valley in front.

The mountains here are bare, and there are no trees, so you can't ambush them.

He ordered the people to advance in silence, and after walking a few hundred steps, he saw a group of men and horses in front of him, each with his weapon, hurrying towards him.

Li Xian and Zhao Yun shouted: "Kill." ”

and rushed to the enemy.

Zhang Yan took these 5,000 people to prepare to go out of the valley to intercept the retreat of the Han army, but he didn't expect that he had been touched by the Han army to his home.

They were stunned by the sudden appearance of the Han army, and when the Han army was about to rush in front of them, they came back to their senses and raised their weapons to resist.

Li Xian saw that a person on the other side looked like a leader, so he raised his sword and attacked him.

This person is Zhang Yan, I saw Zhang Yan quickly flash Li Xian's knife and fight with Li Xian.

The two teams were also in a scuffle, and Li Xian's Han army was orthodox and much stronger in combat than the thieves.

The Han army killed the bandits and retreated, but Li Xian did not seem to be Zhang Yan's opponent, and he had been forced to scramble.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun next to him hurriedly flashed over to help, and the two of them joined forces to attack Zhang Yan.

Because Li Xian is mainly good at horse warfare, foot warfare, and in the mountains, he is difficult to defeat Zhang Yan, who is familiar with the terrain.

With Zhao Yun's help, this time it was Zhang Yan's turn to be in a hurry.

At this moment, a team of men and horses suddenly came out from behind the thieves, and it was the five hundred elite soldiers led by Gao Shun. They lay in ambush in the valley, and when they heard the lion's voice and the cry of the valley killing, they rushed out and attacked from behind.

The thieves were attacked, and many threw away their weapons and surrendered.

Although Zhang Yan was an agile shooter, he couldn't resist the combination of Li Xian and Zhao Yun, and he had already been put on his neck by Li Xian.

Seeing that the commander had been captured, the rest of the thieves also abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Li Xian was worried that the thieves would come to help, after all, there were still many bandits in this valley, especially in the Wind Rock Valley, and when they found out that Zhang He was just feintting, they might return to the Lion Sound Valley.

He ordered someone to tie up Zhang Yan and take him out of the valley, and he couldn't care about the thieves who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Just after they retreated, the 10,000 horses who had gone to the aid of Wind Rock Valley returned.

When they arrived at Fengyan Valley, they saw that the Han army was just beating drums and shouting from afar, and one of them, Xiahou Lan, a thousand-man handsome, found out that he had been fooled and fell into the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and hurriedly led the thieves back to the Lion Sound Valley.

However, they still came back late, Li Xian and Zhao Yun had already withdrawn to the outside of the valley, and then retreated to Shiyi with Zhang He.

In the military tent, Zhang Yan stared at Zhao Yun fiercely and said: "Zilong, I didn't expect that it was you who brought the Han army to attack us, you and I are friends who grew up together." ”

Zhao Yun also looked at Zhang Yan and said: "The military life is difficult to disobey, I can't help it, we just want you to surrender, and we don't want to kill you." ”

"Hmph, you want me to surrender, dream." Zhang Yan turned her head to the side.

Zhao Yun gestured to Li Xian to Zhang Yan with his hand and said, "Do you know who this general is?" ”

Zhang Yan said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter who he is." ”

"This is the Halberd General, and if he really wants to destroy you, it will be easy. If General Li led 30,000 horses, think about it, how many of your people will survive? ”

Zhang Yan heard that Li Xian was the Halberd General, so he turned his head and stared at Li Xian for a while before saying, "No wonder, he was able to draw with me, it turned out to be the Halberd General." Since you have been captured today, you will kill or chop up, you are free. ”

Zhang Yan heard about General Changji a few years ago, and Bai Huan and Su Gu died at his hands. Those of their own subordinates would be afraid when they heard the name of General Halberd, saying that it was the god of war who decapitated without blinking.

Li Xian smiled and went to untie Zhang Yan and said, "General Zhang, you have the talent to command the army, so why should you be a thief again?" Wouldn't it be better to fight with me and Zilong, calm the world, and worship the generals in the future. ”

During the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan was once named a general in the middle of the peace.

Zhao Yun continued: "Yes, General Li has the ambition to settle the world and the ability to control chaos, if you and I help you, we will be able to quell the chaos and settle the country as soon as possible and become a general." ”

Zhang Yan thought for a while before saying, "Okay, since Zilong is willing to follow you, I am also willing to surrender and listen to General Li's dispatch from now on." ”

After speaking, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Xie.

Li Xian was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Zhang Yan up and said, "General Zhang, please get up." ”

At this time, a soldier came to report that a bandit had led the crowd to besiege Shiyi, saying that if Zhang Yan was not handed over, he would attack the city.

Zhang Yan said: "It must be Xiahoulan who is here." ”

Shiyi is a small city, Xiahou Lan brought 10,000 people, and Li Xian's more than 3,000 people had no problem defending the city, but now there was no need to defend it, Zhang Yan surrendered.

When everyone came to the city gate, they saw Xia Houlan wearing armor, straddle the horse and hold a knife, so not majestic.

Zhang Yan said to Li Xian: "If the general can trust me, let me go and let them retreat." ”

"Yes, go ahead."

Zhao Yun said to Zhang Yan: "I'll accompany you." ”

It's not that Zhao Yunxin can't be Zhang Yan, but that Xiahou Lan in the city is also a partner who grew up with him since childhood.

When Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun rode out of the city and came to Xia Houlan, Xia Houlan was stunned.

Didn't you say that Zhang Dashuai was captured? How can I get out on horseback?

Then he saw Zhao Yun and shouted in surprise: "Zilong, why are you here?" Aren't you on Mt. Asaka? ”

Zhao Yun smiled and said to Xiahou Lan: "Zhang Shuai is already willing to surrender to General Li, you quickly let your people retreat, and follow me into the city to see General Li." ”

Xia Houlan was a little unconvinced, how could Zhang Yan surrender so easily, he looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously.

Zhang Yan also smiled and said: "It's true, the three of us have grown up together since childhood, you also know how Zilong is a person, even he respects the people who are willing to follow, and it is not far off." ”

The three of them are all from Changshan Zhending, and they are about the same age, and they have been playing together since they were teenagers.

Later, Zhang Yan entangled a group of teenagers, Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan were also with him, but Zhang Yan often robbed the people, and Zhao Yun often persuaded him not to change, so he left Zhang Yan.

After Zhao Yun left Zhang Yan, he first went to follow Gongsun Zhan, but when he saw that Gongsun Zhan was also a cruel person, he left him and took a group of old and weak people to become bandits on Chaoge Mountain.

However, Zhao Yun has never robbed the local poor people, and they have robbed some rich people.

Xiahou Lan did not leave with Zhao Yun, continued to follow Zhang Yan, and became a handsome man.

Xiahou Lan saw that Zhang Yan had surrendered, and he had nothing to say, so he asked his subordinates to retreat ten miles and follow the two into the city.

Coming to Li Xian, Xia Houlan knelt down on one knee to Li Xian and said, "Xia Hou Lan see the general." ”

"Hurry up, please." Li Xian hurriedly helped Xia Houlan up.

At this time, Tian Feng and Zhang He Gaoshun, who were standing next to him, also smiled.

Tian Feng said at this time: "Congratulations to General Li, happy to Zhang Yan's people. It's just that the general will be even more jealous of Yuan Gong now, and Yuan Gong will definitely try to harm him, and the general must not return to Yecheng lightly at this time. ”

Li Xian also knew that his current power would make Yuan Shao jealous: "I also understand this, let's first garrison the Yuan clan and see how Yuan Gong will deal with it before making a plan." ”

The Yuan clan is the county seat of Changshan country, very close to Shiyi.

Li Xian first asked Zhang Yan to transport some grain from Fengyan Valley, and Tian Feng planned that Yuan Shao knew that Zhang Yan would bring grain and grass immediately after he surrendered.

He also asked Zhang Yan to go back to the valley to appease the people, and Xiahou Lan took 5,000 people to follow Li Xian to the Yuan clan.

Li Xian also took Zhang Yan as the lieutenant general, and Xiahou Lan and Zhao Yun were the same lieutenants.

Because Li Xian is only a general now, he can't give them any generals.
