According to Guan Yan's idea, he wanted to hand over the command to Zhao Yun, so that he could not only make good friends with Zhao Yun, but also gather troops in one place to strengthen the army. But Zhao Yun, who has always been cautious, didn't dare to do this:

First, Guan Yannai is the general of the tiger and the Dongxiang Hou, whether it is an official position or a knighthood, they are above Zhao Yun, and he is just a military Sima of Jizhou, and his grade is not a little worse! How dare Zhao Yun overstep his authority and take over the power of command?

Second, and most importantly, the generals in this account are all Guan Yan's descendants except himself, and even if there are any general orders, they still have to be issued by Guan Yan.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was very modest and knowledgeable about the times, and handed over himself and his three thousand men to Guan Yan's command. This made Guan Yan's generals have a better impression of Zhao Yun.

After a day's rest, Guan Yan ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and continue to go north, approaching Changshan County.

After Zhao Guoyuan's clan, he stepped into the territory of Changshan County.

Zhang Yan's 100,000 elite Montenegrin army is stationed in this Changshan County, the big thieves are chaotic, the gang often collapses, and all parts of Jizhou with Changshan County as the center, there are many bandits, or go to Zhang Yan, or stand on their own mountain, Guan Yan met Liu Feng's bandits in Guangping is one of them.

The more you advance into the hinterland of Changshan County, the more rampant bandits on the road become. Those who have a little eyesight are hiding in the dark to observe Guan Yan's army, and they don't dare to act rashly. For such a thief, Guan Yan turned a blind eye and didn't pay attention to it. Of course, there were also blindless thieves who jumped out and shouted, but they were quickly cleaned up.

The army marched to Changshan Zhending, which is the place where Zhao Yun was born. At the beginning, Zhao Yun was raised by the villagers of the county, and led two hundred righteous people to engage in Gongsun Zhan. That is, on the way to Youzhou, Zhao Yun met his senior brother who rushed to Guan Yan. Zang Ba, thus rescuing Guan Yan in danger.

After nearly two years, Zhao Yun once again stepped into the realm of Zhending, and the feeling of returning to his hometown could not help but arise. Zhao Yun said to Guan Yan: "General, it is really the southern hub of Changshan, west out of the state, east to Zhongshan, south to Changshan, north to Zhang Yan. Yunsheng is here, and the terrain is very familiar here, and the general can garrison his troops here, slowly go north, and then try to suppress the thief! ”

"General Zhao's words are reasonable!" Chen Deng echoed: "Our army is weak, the thief army is strong, Xu Tu is advancing slowly, and the plan is also the best!" ”

Guan Yan nodded: "In that case, then let's set up camp here!" ”

"Encamped?"

The yellow-faced man, who was thin and thin, but his eyes were shining, frowned and muttered.

The yellow-faced man raised his eyes and looked at the kneeling scout in front of him: "It is really the throat of the southern part of Changshan, how many people are there in the official army?" ”

The scout thought for a moment: "From a distance, it seems that there are four or five thousand people!" ”

The yellow-faced man sneered: "Five thousand men and horses dare to offend my Black Mountain Army?" Hahaha~~~"

Around the big man, there were several leaders sitting in the room, and they all laughed when they heard this.

Dahan continued to ask, "Who is the leader of the army?" ”

"General Tiger Ben: Guan Yan!"

"Huh, Guan Yan?" Dahan put away his smile and pondered again.

This is a big man beside him who suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Dashuai, just Guan Yan, why bother?" The last general king should be willing to lead 3,000 elite horses, not to cut off Guan Yan, and the last general is willing to raise his head to see! ”

The yellow-faced man waved his hand: "Wang Dang, this handsome knows that you are brave, but this Guan Yanfei is easy to match!" Guan Yan's name, Ben Shuai has also heard of it! In Liangzhou, with 20,000 people, he broke through Han Sui's army of hundreds of thousands! Han Sui is not an incompetent person, so this Guan Yan should not be underestimated! ”

Dahan raised his eyes to look at the sky outside the door, his eagle-like eyes were slightly cloudy, and Dahan said faintly: "Guan Yan, I, Zhang Yan, am not as good as Han Sui, and my success or failure is unknown!" ”

In 188 A.D., in March of the fifth year of Zhongping, Guan Yan, the general of Huben Zhonglang, took Zhao Yun and led a thousand Ma Bujun as the vanguard, and Ma Chao as the deputy general.

Guan Yan then took Ma Teng and Ji Ling as the left and right captains to protect the flanks of the army; Zang Ba led the infantry army of 700, disposed of the rear army, and supervised the grain and grass.

Guan Yan led the army by himself, and Chen Deng was the military advisor and the Chinese army.

The army slowly moved north, slowly advancing, and there were more than ten battles along the way, with no more than 300 casualties and more than 1,000 prisoners. Winning the battle, it seems that there is an invincible trend!

Guan Yan was overjoyed, and held more celebration banquets to reward the soldiers of the three armies.

While the three armies were happy, several people were worried, and Chen Deng was one of them.

"Lord, the last few battles have been all overcome, there seems to be something wrong!" Chen Deng said worriedly.

Guan Yanchao didn't care: "Yuanlong is too worried!" , I think that Zhang Yan is just a thief's ear! Our army is full of talents, and there are dragons to help you, how can you be overwhelmed? ”

"Lord, don't forget the battle of Copper Money Valley!"

Guan Yan sighed in his heart, the battle of Tongqian Valley, Guan Yan can't forget it in this life. Seven or eight out of ten of the dead and wounded in that battle, Guan Yan was seriously injured by Du Yuan, if it wasn't for Zang Ba and Zhao Yun arriving in time, I'm afraid my life would have been there.

The reason for this big defeat was because of Guan Yan's carelessness. Now that Chen Deng has brought up the old matter again, Guan Yan has to think deeply.

"What Yuan Long said is true, I was negligent! What does Yuan Long think is strange? ”

Chen Deng Guan Yan bluntly accepted the advice, deeply gratified, and said freely at the moment: "Lord, Zhang Yan is not a brave and unscrupulous person!" In the past ten battles, all of them are old and weak, and there is no general to lead the army, Deng asserted that Zhang Yan is using the strategy of arrogance to our army! ”

"A plan for arrogance?"

"Yes, our army is strictly disciplined, just because we are afraid of the strength of the thief army! If Zhang Yan attacked, it would be the result of both defeats. Therefore, Zhang Yan made the old and weak remnants of the army pretend to be defeated by our army, and when our army is proud and lax, Zhang Yan will attack our army directly with elite soldiers. ”

After listening to Chen Deng's words, Guan Yan instantly understood like an initiation: "If there is no Yuan Dragon, it will be a big mistake!" I want to plan and lure Zhang Yan to take the bait, what do you think of Yuanlong? ”

Chen Deng nodded: "The lord is wise!" ”

"Someone!" Guan Yan raised his head and shouted.

Xiao Qi, the captain of the guard outside the door, hurriedly ran into the tent: "What does the lord command?" ”

"Thou hast immediately issued an order to the three armies, so that the appearance of all armies shall be kept tight inside and loose outside, and that they shall no longer drink and have fun, and if they disobey the order, they shall be executed!"

"Whoa!" Xiao Qi was about to go out.

Guan Yan shouted back again: "I also ordered all armies to send more scout horses to find out the movements of the enemy's elite, and if there is anything abnormal, report back to this general immediately!" ”

"Whoa!" Xiao Qi was heavy again, and ran out of the tent.

The military order was passed on to the three armies, and the forward general Zhao Yun couldn't help but nod when he looked at this information: "General Zhonglang, be cautious and calculating, you are really handsome!" ”

Ma Chao on the side said loudly: "Yes, the talent of the lord is unfathomable, in the future, you and I will work together with the lord, and the general will be even more happy to surrender to the lord!" ”

Looking at Ma Chao, who was full of vitality at this moment beside him, Zhao Yun shook his head with a wry smile, and said secretly in his heart: Although Guan Yan is talented, is it worth my help?
