The book is picked up again.

One month later, Yanzhou.

"Knock knock knock ......" A fierce drum beat came.

Those Yellow Turban leaders who were eating wine and drinking meat, after hearing the drum, threw the wine jar in their hands and shouted: "What kind of tricks is the surnamed Zhang doing?" There is no enemy here, why is the drum of the gathering general sounded? ”

"Who knows, maybe he wants to show off his majesty!

Forget it, I'd better hurry up, no matter what, he's the leader of what I'm waiting for. ”

"What are you going to do?!

It's not important, I'm going to have to keep drinking here?

What kind of thing is his surname Zhang?!

If it weren't for the fact that he was filming the sycophants of the great sages and mentors, could he have the status he has now? ”

"Okay, okay, don't say anything, let's go quickly, in case the surnamed Zhang punishes me and others on the grounds that I can't wait, it won't be good, I'm in a weak position now, and I can't leave him a handle."

"Alas...... When will this hard life come to an end? ”

After complaining, these people stood up dejectedly and walked towards the place where Zhang Yan lived.

When they came to Zhang Yan's hall, they saw that Zhang Yan was landing on the main seat with a serious face at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a certain family has invited you here to discuss an important matter with you." After everyone sat down, Zhang Yan said straight to the point.

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, one of the leaders plucked out his ears and said nonchalantly: "Why is it so serious? Is there an enemy attacking us? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yan looked at the leader with a casual expression, and said with a serious face: "Although there is no enemy attacking us, it is even more terrifying than this!"

This matter is a matter of life and death for us in the future! ”

"Huh?" After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the others were stunned for a moment, and then their faces gradually became serious.

They know Zhang Yan, although Zhang Yan is against them on weekdays and targets them everywhere.

But when it comes to business, he is never ambiguous!

So. Since he said that this matter is a matter of life and death for them, it must be true!

After thinking of this, the nonchalant leader's face also became solemn, and he asked, "What is the matter?" Just say it. ”

"Huh......" Zhang Yan first exhaled a sigh of relief before he said solemnly: "A certain family received news that the two brothers of the Yuan family have been defeated by Cao Cao and Li Zhi!" ”

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"It can't be!"

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, these leaders were all very shocked, they couldn't believe this fact!

Then, a leader stood up abruptly and asked loudly at Zhang Yan: "Didn't I receive news some time ago that those people from the family have united to organize a million army to attack Luoyang?" Why did it lose so quickly? ”

"Alas......" After Zhang Yan heard this person's words, he sighed and said helplessly: "A certain family didn't expect them to lose so quickly, but this is the truth!"

Moreover, this is not a fantasy thing, after all, there is a precedent......"

With that, he glanced at everyone present.

"......" After hearing Zhang Yan's words, everyone fell silent.

Because at the beginning, they had millions of yellow turbans, but they were almost wiped out by Li Zhi, who only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!

Therefore, it seems reasonable for Li Zhi, who has hundreds of thousands of troops, to defeat an army of nearly one million families.

"So what should I do now?" After a moment of silence in the hall, one of the leaders stood up and asked in a hoarse voice.

When he asked, he was startled, because he found that his voice had become different from before, very dry and unpleasant, and he knew that it was caused by his nervousness.

After Zhang Yan heard the words of these people, she was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "So far, the only way out for me is to form an alliance with others!" ”

The leaders of the "alliance ......" were all silent after hearing Zhang Yan's words.

They admit that Zhang Yan's words are very right, but they can't pass the level in their hearts.

Because in their eyes, all the princes of the world are their mortal enemies!

When the Yellow Turbans were in turmoil, which of these princes did not confront them?

Now, let them form an alliance, they do have some reluctance in their hearts.

However, if they don't form an alliance, they may be worried about their lives, so they can only remain silent.

Zhang Yan understood the minds of these people, so after he saw that everyone was silent, he sighed and said: "This matter is so decided, and all the consequences will be borne by a certain family!" ”

"......" After hearing Zhang Yan's words, these leaders did not speak, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"Huh" Zhang Yanjian had no objection, and he secretly breathed a sigh ......of relief in his heart.

To be honest, at the beginning, he was really afraid that these people would go their own way and be unwilling to form an alliance with others, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

After deciding this matter, Zhang Yan's mood also relaxed a little, and said to everyone present: "Tonight, a certain family will send a letter to those princes, inform them, and let them come to Yanzhou to meet the alliance. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the leaders present, "However, a certain family should warn you in advance, those envoys represent the princes of the road, you should not drink some horse urine and go to them for trouble, otherwise, don't blame the subordinates of a certain family for being ruthless!" ”

Zhang Yan was very afraid of these people

After drinking two or two wines, his mind was hot, and he went to trouble the messengers.

When the time comes, don't say it's an alliance, maybe they will offend a few princes because of it.

"Commander Zhang can rest assured, we are not stupid, we will definitely not cause trouble at this life-and-death juncture." After hearing Zhang Yan's words, a leader immediately patted his chest and assured.

After hearing this person's words, the others immediately shouted: "That's right, yes, I will be honest and never look for trouble." ”

"Report ......" Just as they were talking, a herald ran in outside, clasped his fists at everyone, and reported loudly: "Commander Qiqi, dozens of people have come outside, claiming to be envoys of the princes of all parties, and they have come to meet the commander." ”

"Huh?" After Zhang Yan heard this, he stood up with a face full of surprise, he hadn't sent a messenger yet, why did these people come?

Subsequently. He thought about it for a while, and then he immediately reacted.

Cao Cao's rise not only made him feel threatened, but the other princes must also feel threatened, so they probably came here to form an alliance.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yan did not hesitate, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, please, no!" A certain family went to greet them personally! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan stood up and hurriedly walked outside.

Seeing this, the other leaders glanced at each other, and then followed Zhang Yan out.

When I came outside, I saw dozens of luxurious carriages lined up in an orderly manner.

"Hiss......" The leaders behind Zhang Yan were originally from bandits, so after they saw those carriages inlaid with gold and jade, their eyes lit up, and their hands were a little itchy, and they almost couldn't help but rob these people.

However, then they immediately reacted, and these people were probably the envoys of the princes of all sides, so they suppressed the eagerness in their hearts.

"In Xia Zhang Yan, I've seen you, I don't know what you're doing here?" After Zhang Yan came out, he immediately bowed politely to everyone.

Zhang Yan knew that these princes looked down on him, a person born in the Yellow Turban, so for the sake of the smooth formation of this alliance, he put his figure very low.

"Commander Zhang is polite, it's rude for me to come without telling you."

This man is right, usually when an envoy is sent out, he first sends a person to inform the other party, telling him that I have sent an envoy to receive him, which is the proper etiquette of an envoy.

Now that they have come to Yanzhou quietly, it can indeed be regarded as rude.

But now that the situation is urgent, they can't care so much.

"Where, don't stand here, I'll wait until I go inside." After Zhang Yan heard this person's kind words, her eyes lit up.

Because he could see that these people did not underestimate him because of his yellow scarf background, but regarded him as a prince all the way, which made Zhang Yan feel very comfortable, so he politely welcomed them into the mansion.
