As soon as Guan Yan's military order came out, although the armies still seemed to be lazy, their precautions suddenly became much stricter.

The sudden change in Guan Yan's attitude towards the march caught Zhang Yan off guard, and the things arranged by Zhang Yan were suddenly disrupted, and the plan to sneak attack Guan Yan could only be temporarily put on hold.

"Dashuai, this month, watching the brothers who went forward can only be beaten next to Guan Yan, my heart is extremely angry! When will we be able to fight a good fight? Wang Dang complained to Zhang Yan in the handsome position with a thick voice.

Zhang Yan was also depressed in her heart, and she had nowhere to vent, when she saw Wang Dang pulling her throat and complaining, Zhang Yan suddenly became angry and scolded loudly: "What is the noise? Is it me or are you handsome? ”

Zhang Yan has the most prestige among the Jizhou thief army, and when this king saw Zhang Yan angry, he was so frightened that he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

After Zhang Yan glared at Wang Dang, he glanced at the leaders in the lower hall, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zhang Yan.

But after a while, Zhang Yan put away her fierce gaze and lowered her head. This time it was indeed Zhang Yan's own planning that was wrong, but as the head of an army, especially in this uneven team of thieves, his personal prestige must not be lost, and he had to swallow it in his stomach if he broke his teeth.

Zhang Yanqiang squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, brothers, Guan Yan's every move is in Ben Shuai's plan!" In less than a month, Guan Yan'er will be captured alive! ”

Over the years, Zhang Yan has led these old brothers to be born and die, relying on Zhang Yan's bravery, this is the grand situation of the Montenegrin Army today, and everyone has treated Zhang Yan to the point of blind worship, Zhang Yan said that if Guan Yan is captured alive, it must be Guan Yan alive!

Thinking of this, the atmosphere in the hall couldn't help but relax a lot, and smiles appeared on the faces of all the leaders.

It's just that the author of this sentence is ... Zhang Yan didn't seem to be so happy, but a trace of sadness overflowed between her eyebrows, which seemed a little out of place with the atmosphere of the hall. None of the leaders seemed to sense that something was wrong with their handsome, and they were still talking to each other with confidence, and an imperceptible sigh came out of Zhang Yan's mouth, but it was immediately drowned out by the noise of the hall

Changshan County is Lingshou County in the west according to Taihang, east of the plain, into can directly take Jizhou, retreat into the mountain to guard. People like Zhang Yan, who are accustomed to resisting the encirclement and suppression of the government, must consider a way out when choosing a location for the cantonment.

Guan Yan's army had marched to the east of Lingshou City, thirty miles. The reason why Guan Yan dared to directly garrison troops outside Zhang Yan's lair was because Guan Yan had already discovered that the true number of soldiers and horses in Lingshou City was only more than 10,000 people!

Zhang Yan raised troops, known as millions, and anyone who listened to it knew that the water was too big.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population was about 60 million, of which more than 8 million in Yizhou in the south, more than 6 million in Jingzhou, more than 4 million in Yangzhou, nearly 20 million in the south, and less than 40 million in the north.

This rich land in Jizhou has a population of nearly 10 million, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of Jizhou has dropped by more than half, to less than 3 million.

Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there will be no more than 700,000 strong men who can really serve as soldiers. Some of these strong men were in the official army, some went away, and some continued to fulfill their duties as peasants in the cracks of troubled times. The remaining 100,000 or so people are likely to be Zhang Yan's men.

100,000 troops is an extremely large number, and the amount of grain and grass consumed in a day is also an astronomical amount.

The imperial court is still like this, let alone Zhang Yan? If these 100,000 people are left in Lingshou, it will not take ten days, and it is estimated that these people will disperse without a fight.

Therefore, Zhang Yan scattered these horses in the main roads around Changshan County, one was self-sufficient, and it was not a problem for one place to support thousands of troops; The second can help each other with horns.

Now the imperial court sent Guan Yan to exterminate Zhang Yan, but Guan Yan was even unable to quell the chaos by himself. Therefore, Guan Yanzuo asked the Holy Lord to order the northern states to assassinate Shi and generals, and send troops and horses to encircle and suppress Zhang Yan.

However, the court was poor and there was no reward, so the materials seized in this quelling of the thieves were all obtained by everyone.

Most of these thieves have been entrenched in the mountains for several years, robbing countless gold and silver treasures, and these assassins and generals are also aiming at this, so they sent troops to fight. In addition to Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, dozens of troops killed Jizhou from all directions.

It is estimated that Lu Bu originally wanted to shoot the thief Liu Feng from Guan Yan's hands, one to rob the credit, and the other to rob Liu Feng's treasure.

Zhang Yan wanted to call back the armies to attack Guan Yan, but now Jizhou is full of smoke, almost every thief's nest is in the fierce battle of the official army, and occasionally a few thieves' nests that are lucky enough to be discovered are also holding their tails, watching all parties in a wait-and-see posture.

Guan Yan and Zhang Yan were both arranging various matters in full swing, because each of them was worried that the battle situation around Changshan County would be won by the other party, and if one side won the battle, then the other side would face the danger of being flanked by several large armies.

In Guan Yanshuai's tent, a topographic map of Lingshou just drawn by the scout was unfolded on the big table, and Guan Yan and a group of generals sat around the table, carefully studying the terrain around Lingshou.

Ji Ling looked at it for a while, stretched out his right hand and slapped it on the map: "Lord, this thief army is entrenched in Lingshou City, and it can't hold out, we can send an army to ambush in the dense forest west of Lingshou City, and then the whole army will storm Lingshou City." Zhang Yan's thieves are invincible and will march west to Taihang, and when the ambush arrives, Zhang Yan can be captured! ”

As soon as he heard this, Guan Yan shook his head, there were too many loopholes in this tactic: "General Ji's method is not appropriate!" First, you look at the hill in Lingshou City that is more than 100 meters high, if Zhang Yan sends people to the top of the mountain as a sentry post, then it will be difficult for our army to bypass Lingshou City. Second, even if our army can divide its forces to bypass Lingshou City, it will definitely divide its troops. The enemy is outnumbered, and dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers, and it is not feasible! ”

Ji Ling didn't say "go in directly", that is, Ji Ling still has a bit of brains, as soon as he heard Guan Yan's explanation, Ji Ling also understood the key, and frowned at the moment, dragging his chin and continuing to look at the map on the table.

Xi Zhicai, who was almost injured on his arm, was also carefully observing the map, and suddenly asked: "Does the lord know why this Zhang Yan has the name of 'Feiyan'?" ”

Xi Zhicai looked around at the people around him again, and continued: "The marshals of Montenegro and Yellow Turban, this is not a crown, and they are self-representing, saying that those who ride white horses are Zhang Baiqi, those who are light and agile are Zhang Feiyan, those who are loud are Zhang Leigong, and those who are bearded are called Yu Gengen, and those with big eyes call themselves Li Damu. Zhang Yan is agile, fierce, and likes to make dangerous moves, so he has a plan to capture Zhang Yan! ”

"Will the plan be released?"

"Without him, it is like the method of Liangzhou's enemy Han Sui, leading the snake out of the hole!"
