The book is picked up again.

A month later.

Yanzhou, the residence of the state pastor.

"Huh......" Zhang Yan was in her courtyard, looking up at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and let out a long breath.

He was very irritable now, and a month ago, they had agreed on an alliance, and they both planned to take the initiative to attack Cao Cao.

Even Liu Biao, who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, expressed his willingness to send troops to attack Cao Cao.

However, when they were about to gather the army, the sky was like a child's face, and it changed when they said it, and it snowed heavily!

The snow stopped and lasted for a month!

Now the outside of the city has been completely sealed by a thick layer of snow.

With such a thick snow, not to mention a march to fight, even if Zhang Yan plans to go out hunting, he can't do it!

The whole of Yanzhou has been buried by heavy snow!

In addition, many civilians died in the heavy snow.

Although Zhang Yan tried his best to help these people, the people under his command were frantically dragging him back.

And, most importantly, Zhang Yan was born in the Yellow Turban, and no scholar was willing to help him, so Yanzhou he ruled has always been very chaotic.

And after this heavy snow closed the road, Zhang Yan's order could not be conveyed to the state pastor's mansion!

At this time, Zhang Yan is like a canary in a cage, looking very gorgeous, but she doesn't have any freedom!

"Thief God, are you going to force someone to die?!" Zhang Yan looked up at the foggy sky and roared through gritted teeth.

Zhang Yan has never hated snow as much as she does now!

He felt that this snow was simply Cao Cao's best helper.

Originally, they had planned to start a month before, but because of the snow, they delayed their work for at least four months!

That's right, four months!

Although the snow has only been falling for a month and is about to stop, it is now winter, and even if the snow stops, it will be useless, because the snow will not melt immediately.

And when winter comes, the weather gets colder, and the snow will be frozen into ice cubes by the cold weather!

When the time comes, it will be even more troublesome for them to want to march.

The most important thing is that Yanzhou is not wealthy, and he does not have so many cotton clothes for his soldiers.

In other words, the army under Zhang Yan does not have the conditions to fight in winter!

In other words, if they wanted to attack Cao Cao, they would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year when the weather was warmer before they could send their troops.

But in this way, it freed up more than three months of effort for Cao Cao!

And with this kung fu, Cao Cao will definitely be able to calmly train the army, digest the existing territory, and become more difficult to deal with!

So now what Zhang Yan hates the most is not Cao Cao, but this inexplicable snowfall!

It can be said that this heavy snow has completely changed the situation in the world!

"Report the ......" Just as Zhang Yan gritted his teeth at this blood hatred, a herald hurriedly ran over, "Qi Qu Shuai, there is another group of civilians outside the city, who are crying there, hoping that Qu Shuai can call the shots for them." ”

"Who did the unreasonable thing this time?!" Zhang Yan was not angry after hearing the herald's words, and asked with a calm face.

Because this kind of thing is so common!

Although these yellow scarves are said to be doing the right thing for heaven, fundamentally speaking, most of them are bandits, so it is inevitable that they will do something heartbreaking for the people.

Zhang Yan saw a lot of these things, and gradually became numb.

"This ......" After hearing Zhang Yan's inquiry, the herald hesitated for a while before replying: "It seems that Zhang Qushuai robbed the woman of the family to go back to have fun, and then accidentally killed her, so those civilians will come to ask Qu Shuai to make decisions for them." ”

Speaking of this, the herald looked at Zhang Yan with expectant eyes, he hoped that Zhang Yan would be able to call the shots for those people.

"Alas......" After Zhang Yan heard the words of the herald, she sighed in surprise, waved her hand decadently and said, "Send them some money from the house."

Let them honestly go home and live their lives, and don't come again. ”

Although Zhang Yan has the heart to make decisions for these ordinary people, he knows that now is a critical moment and no mistakes can be made, so he can only endure this breath.

But he had already made up his mind in his heart, after defeating Cao Cao, he would definitely conduct a big internal review!

He doesn't intend to spare any of those who plague the common people!

But not now, now they must train their troops and horses, prepare their armies for battle, and attack Cao Cao in the spring of the next year.

Therefore, even if she was very uncomfortable in her heart, Zhang Yan could only pretend that she couldn't see these human tragedies.

Because he still needs those places where he can be handsome, but when he can't use them......

You can imagine what happened to them!

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the herald of "Nuo ......" was stunned for a moment, and then responded weakly.

This herald was born as an out-and-out civilian, and he couldn't survive at the beginning, so he joined the Yellow Turban Army.

Because his ancestors once produced a scholar, he also knew some words through generations of learning.

And it is precisely because of this that Zhang Yan will arrange him to be a herald beside him.

Although the herald was literate, he never regarded himself as a scholar, but always as a commoner.

Therefore, after seeing the tragic situation of those civilians, he inevitably felt a little sad in his heart.

But he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Yan's order, so after answering weakly, he dragged his feet outside.

"Alas......" Zhang Yanhe didn't understand the herald's thoughts, but he really couldn't move now

Hands, because if he does it now, then his subordinates will really have no soldiers available!

The Yellow Turban Army is different from other ordinary armies, they are composed of individual commanders.

And each of these commanders has a heavy army in their hands!

In other words, although Zhang Yan is nominally the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, in fact he is just a slightly older commander!

Except for Zhang Yan, the other Qu Shuai's troops together can account for seventy percent of the entire Yanzhou army!

In other words, Zhang Yan only has thirty percent of the troops in his hands!

Fortunately, the other Qu Shuai were not so united, so Zhang Yan could barely subdue them.

If everyone else united, Zhang Yan had no chance of winning.

There were two reasons why he was so eager to attack Cao Cao.

On the one hand, he wanted to defeat Cao Cao.

On the other hand, it is also hoped to use Cao Cao's hand to reduce the strength of other commanders.

As long as Zhang Yan's forces have the upper hand, then he will have a way to kill all those disobedient Qu Shuai!

Therefore, now, even if Zhang Yan is no longer accustomed to looking down on other Qu Shuai, he will not attack, he will just wait quietly, and he will do it after the other Qu Shuai's troops are greatly damaged.

"Qu Shuai, Qu Shuai, it's a big deal!" Just when Zhang Yan was thinking about something, the herald who went out rushed in again in a hurry, shouting loudly while looking at the run.

"What the hell is going on? Why are you so panicked? After Zhang Yan heard the herald's shout, her brows furrowed tightly.

He knew that his herald had always been very calm.

Now that he is in such a hurry, something must have happened!

After the herald came to Zhang Yan's front, he didn't care about saluting, and said directly: "Qu Shuai, that civilian died in front of the mansion after knowing that Qu Shuai didn't care about him. ”

"What ?!!" After Zhang Yan heard the herald's words, her brows furrowed tightly, and her teeth were tight.

But he didn't have a seizure in the end, but endured it to death.

"That's it!" After Zhang Yan sighed, she said dejectedly: "Bury him well." ”

At this time, Zhang Yan hypnotized herself frantically in her heart, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan......"

"Qu Shuai!" After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the herald did not do as he was told, but said helplessly: "If it was just that civilian who died in front of the mansion, why would his subordinates be so panicked?" ”

"What? Anything else? After Zhang Yan heard the herald's words, she asked with a frown.

"Goo-toot!" Hearing this, the herald swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said nervously: "I don't know what's going on, after that civilian was killed, his affairs spread throughout the city in an instant?"

Therefore, many people spontaneously gathered in front of Qu Shuai's mansion and petitioned Qu Shuai! ”

Speaking of this, there was a look of fear in his eyes, and he said, "......"
