Chapter 098: Black Mountain Zhang Yan (2)
After deciding on the matter of going to Changshan, Lu Bu then instructed: "Mr. Wenhe, tell Mr. Tian the strategy and general situation of the discussion between you and me, and ask him to quickly rush back to the town and state to preside over the overall situation, assisted by Fu Zhu, Cao Xing, Zhang Shan, Zang Hong and others. If Ma Teng arrives before I return, Mr. Tian is solely responsible. That's the first thing. β
Lu Bu continued in a deep voice: "The second thing, Mr. Wenhe, please lead the generals Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Dian Wei, lead 20,000 foot soldiers, and 20,000 greedy wolf cavalry to take the three counties of Hedong, Hanoi, and Hongnong as quickly as possible, and if you have the opportunity, it is best to take Henan." I believe in Mr.'s ability, and in addition, Guo and Liu will also hand over to Mr. after their return, and I hope that Mr. will hone more of their little guys. β
Jia Xu's body was shocked when he heard this, this is now close to two-thirds of the combat strength of the state, and there are all the greedy wolf cavalry.
You must know that this army is the strongest combat force that Bingzhou and Lu Bu rely on to become famous, once it is all handed over to Jia Xu, then there will only be more than 10,000 foot soldiers and thousands of ordinary cavalry left in Bingzhou.
Such a powerful army Lu Bu dared to hand over directly to him, just such a trust made Jia Xu feel heavy, the ancients tasted that the soldier dies for his confidant, but Maxima is often in Bole but not often.
Lu Bu was able to treat him like this, and with it, a warm current swept through his body.
Although Jia Xu was in a steady state of mind, he was still excited and quickly knelt on the ground at this moment, lowered his head to hide his moist eyes and said: "Wen He is willing to make a military order and send the land of the four counties to the lord!" β
Lu Bu then spoke: "In the end, I personally led Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, and the soldiers only needed to fall into the camp and accompany the wolf warrior special forces, and the rest of the troops would be stationed in the state. β
Jia Xu raised his head and hurriedly stopped: "The lord can't, although the Montenegrin army has shown its intentions, it can't be trusted. Besides, now that Yuan Shao and Na Han Fu are about to go to war, if they ......"
Lu Bu interrupted with a smile: "Hahaha, Mr. is too worried, although Yuan Shao is strong, but Han Fu has also been running Jizhou for many years after all, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not be able to benefit for a while, the two of them dare not act rashly at this moment, and they dare not start a war with our army at this opportunity." As for the Black Mountain Army, Mr. should have never seen the current wolf warrior special forces, and there are not many troops in the world that can match it. Although the number of people is scarce, it is enough to deal with many emergencies, even if the Montenegrin army really has bad intentions, we can still escape, haha! What's more, there is also Gao Shun's trap camp. After that devastating blow, the reborn trapped camp is even more effective than ever. But don't worry, sir, that is. β
Jia Xu still felt uneasy after thinking about it, but now there are not many troops that can be drawn out of this situation, and if the number of people on his side is reduced, it will affect the efficiency and the overall impact.
"Then lord, please bring all the members of the dark group and protect them thoroughly."
Lu Bu still wanted to refuse, but after seeing the firmness in Jia Xu's eyes, he had to give up, nodded, and agreed.
In the early morning of the second day, Lu Bu set off for Changshan. He was accompanied by Zhang Ning, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, as well as the trapped camp whose number had expanded to 2,000 and the Wolf Warrior Special Forces who numbered 1,000.
Jinyang and Changshan are not far away, more than 700 miles away, plus everyone is traveling on horseback, less than two days to come to Changshan's Zhending County, that is, Zhao Yun's hometown.
When there was still a few miles away from Zhending County, I saw a group of people and horses standing quietly outside the county seat, this team of people and horses were all wearing white armor from a distance, and the war horses they rode were all high-hoofed horses.
Zhao Yun walked a few steps quickly to Lu Bu and whispered: "Lord, in front of me is my Zhao family, it should be my brother who got the news and went out of the city to greet us." β
Lu Bu nodded, and immediately took Zhang Ning and Zhao Yun to speed up their horses and leave the large army to meet them.
The other party also had two people on horseback to greet him, and when he got closer, he saw that the face of the first person was like a crown of jade and his lips were painted with Zhu, which was seven points similar to Zhao Yun, but there were a lot of vicissitudes.
When the distance was still 100 meters, the other party jumped off the horse and said loudly: "General Lu! It has been a long time since the last parting, and the general's demeanor is better than in the past, and he is really the best among people. This time, the general came from afar, and Zhao Feng missed the distance, and hoped that the general would forgive and forgive his sins. β
Seeing this, Lu Bu quickly dismounted and saluted back: "Brother Zhao is too polite, and Lu is very disturbing when he comes uninvited." β
After everyone came together, there was another greeting, and Lu Bu noticed the other one who came with Zhao Feng.
He was more than eight feet tall, with a thin physique, and a pair of visors that covered his entire face, but his eyes were shining brightly, and he was impressive.
Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Zhao, who is this?" β
The man didn't wait for Zhao Feng's introduction, he took off his armor, revealing an ordinary-looking face, bowed to Zhang Ning and Lu Bu, and said loudly: "Zhang Yan, the brother of Zhang Niujiao, under the seat of the Great Sage and Good Master, greets the Holy Maiden, the Holy Son. β
"Brother Chu Yan!" At the same time, Zhang Ning let out an exclamation.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Bu was also shocked, the first purpose of this trip was this person, but he didn't expect to meet on such an occasion.
Everyone followed Zhao Feng back to the Zhao family's mansion, and Zhao Feng then opened his mouth and introduced: "General Lu, please forgive me." Brother Zhang has been friends with me for many years, and yesterday he made a special trip to me to wait for you to arrive, and specially asked me not to tell you. β
After a pause, he then made an excuse and said: "My brother is cultivated and cared for by General Lu, and my two brothers have not seen each other for a long time, so please allow us to reminisce about the past." With that, he pulled Zhao Yun and walked out.
At this time, only Lu Bu, Zhang Ning, and Zhang Yan were left in the house.
Zhang Ning and Zhang Yan recounted what happened to each other, and the two sighed again, and when they talked about Zhang Jiao's death, they shed tears at the same time.
In this process, Lu Bu didn't say a word, he carefully observed Zhang Yan's every move, even an expression.
Through the understanding of historical knowledge, he knew that Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, and he was originally a civilian scholar and an all-round talent.
But because of the identity of the gate valve can not go out, when he was a teenager gathered a group of teenagers as bandits, in the mountains and rivers to attack, back to Zhending after the ministry reached more than 10,000 people.
Later, the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Niujiao gathered people to revolt, Chu Yan merged with it, elected Zhang Niujiao as the leader, the two had a close relationship, Zhang Niujiao died, and Chu Yan was elected as the leader.
In order to commemorate Zhang Niujiao, he changed his name to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan is brave and strategic, otherwise he would not have followed Cao Cao in the original history, and finally became the general of Pingbei and even made him a marquis.
In terms of the power of the Montenegrin Army at this time, it occupies the land of the five counties, and the subordinate subordinates are even more known as millions, and they have been operating here for many years, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that they are princes.
Such a person can recruit him down just by relying on such a gold-lettered signboard of Zhang Jiao, and frankly Lu Bu didn't think it would go so well.
So his mood at the moment was very conflicted, he had the joy of achieving his goal and at the same time remained full of doubts, very suspicious of Zhang Yan's motives.
As if seeing Lu Bu's question, Zhang Yan suddenly spoke: "General Lu, you must be wondering why I am here, after all, there was no mention in the previous contact with the Holy Maiden that I would come here to meet you. β
"Please also ask General Zhang to solve my doubts." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yan seriously.
"Alasββ!" Zhang Yan sighed heavily and said, "Don't blame the saint and the general, it's not me Zhang Mou's coy attitude." Since the defeat of the Great Virtuous Division, the purging of the rest of our troops has intensified. I am located in a remote part of Montenegro, and it is also a matter of luck, after merging several forces one after another, I have survived to this day. However, with the defeat of the Dong Alliance, all the princes have returned to their fiefdoms and expanded vigorously, and at the same time, our lives have become more and more difficult. β
Lu Bu nodded, thinking deeply.
Take Merge Prefecture and Jizhou as an example, Merge Prefecture will clash head-on with Dong Zhuo, and it is imperative to rapidly expand its strength, and Jizhou Mu Han Fu is about to start a war with Yuan Shao, and it is also imminent to recruit soldiers.
As the military strength of these two states increases, the pressure on the Montenegrin army will inevitably increase.
None of the forces would allow such a huge regular presence around them, so their prospects can be imagined.
"It's easy to say that strong enemies are around, after all, that's how we've come all the way. The most important thing is the poor people who have followed us for many years, although our Montenegrin army seems to have unlimited scenery, but it is all outside the army, and these people are only a small part, and the vast majority of the people who follow us can only hide in the poor mountains and bad waters, with no land to plant and no food to eat. If you don't come again, I'm afraid I can only take the big guy to find another way out, even if I, Zhang Yan, am spurned by others, and it doesn't matter if I am called a traitor or a court eagle dog, but I can't watch them starve, freeze, and suffer to death!"
The truth of these words is revealed, and there is no trace of falsehood.
Hearing this, Zhang Ning was already teary-eyed.
She has experienced a similar scene, and she is even more empathetic at the moment.
Lu Bu was also silent for a while, if what Zhang Yan said was true, then this seemingly abnormal behavior made sense, and from his understanding of Zhang Yan, what he said at this moment should be true.
Seeing that Lu Bu didn't react after listening to the words, Zhang Yan couldn't help but be anxious.
Standing up suddenly, his thin and tall body pushed Jin Shan to kneel on the ground like a jade pillar, his forehead slammed on the ground and thumped, and bright red blood was faintly visible: "Zhang Yan begged General Lu to take me in." β
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yan quietly, but he was unmoved, and in Zhang Ning's constantly floating resentful eyes, he spoke: "How can I trust you?" β
Hearing Lu Bu's inquiry, Zhang Yan understood that this was a test for himself, but he was calm in his heart, and after a little thought, he raised his head and said firmly: "General Lu, I, Zhang Yan, only tell the truth, if you are in need, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, if I frown, I will definitely call the sky to fight five thunders!" β
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "That's not what I want." He sighed, and then said, "Well, you can take us to your camp first." Baidu will read the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
