The 100,000 Montenegrin troops who had raised the flag for only a month were almost wiped out, and the thief commander Zhang Yan only broke through and fled with less than 2,000 soldiers.

Zhang Yan sat on the ground with his long sword on the ground, his former radiant eyes became hollow, Zhao Yi's battle not only defeated the Black Mountain Army, but also broke Zhang Yan's confidence, looking at the rising smoke of the distant battlefield, Zhang Yan's heart turned into a silent sigh.

Most of the soldiers were wounded, their mouths let out a low moan, their clothes soaked with the morning dew, and they curled up one by one and shivered. I wanted to light a fire to keep warm, but I was afraid that the rising smoke would be discovered by the officials and soldiers, so I could only bear it silently.

The blood-stained general staggered to Zhang Yan, licked his lips, and told Zhang Yan about the situation at this time: "Chief, Zhao Yi's official army is cleaning the battlefield at this time, and the cavalry is divided into multiple units and is tracking our whereabouts everywhere. ”

Zhang Yan got up slowly and glanced at the soldiers under him, his morale was depressed, and most of them were injured. This kind of soldier and the official cavalry will be defeated and defeated. Zhang Yanqiang cheered up and said: "Our soldiers are less than 2,000 at this time, and most of the soldiers are injured. Zhang Yan has no idea now, so she can only take one step at a time.

The Montenegrin Army, whose morale was high yesterday, has now become lifeless, and this depressing atmosphere makes the generals dislike it very much, and said fiercely: "Zhao Yi is not trustworthy, he obviously said that he would fight a decisive battle today, but he suddenly attacked us when we were relaxed, what a despicable villain." ”

Zhang Yan disagreed with the general's words, and snorted lightly: "A soldier is the way to survive, a victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat." Are heroes self-appointed? "Zhao Yi's move is not bright, but those who achieve great things are not informal, as long as they can win, this matter is almost negligible.

Zhang Yan squinted at the battlefield in the distance, and his years of planning and hard work were ruined. With a sigh, he ordered his soldiers to leave the place quickly. The farther away they are from the officers and soldiers, the safer they are.

Zhang Yan and the others walked less than two miles when they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and Tai Shici led the elite cavalry of the official army to rush towards Zhang Yan's headquarters.

The soldiers under his command have already seen the cold light reflected by the sabers in the hands of the officers and soldiers, last night it was the elite cavalry who took the lead in rushing into the camp and slashed many of their siblings, seeing this strong elite cavalry again, the soldiers suddenly had instinctive fear in their hearts, and before Zhang Yan gave the order, these soldiers screamed and fled in a hurry.

Seeing the soldiers in a mess, Zhang Yan sighed and shook his head, saying in his heart that even if you run fast, can you still be faster than the cavalry. The best way to avoid cavalry is to go into the woods and use the environment to reduce the speed advantage of cavalry, rather than just running on the plains. It's a pity that the Taihang Mountains and forests are miles away from him.

For the soldiers who fled in all directions, Tai Shi Ci did not scatter the soldiers to chase, but led the army to pounce on Zhang Yan, because Tai Shi Ci knew that as long as he killed Zhang Yan's small fish that were caught in the net, he would not be able to make much waves.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers abandoned others and only chased after themselves, and were getting closer and closer to themselves, Zhang Yan and more than a dozen soldiers around him stopped, exhaled a few heavy breaths, and did not run forward. It is five miles away from the Taihang Mountains and Forests, and before they run to the mountains and forests, the official cavalry is afraid that they have already caught themselves. At that time, the soldiers under him will be weak and weak, and instead of being killed by the officers and soldiers effortlessly, it is better to leave some strength to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Zhang Yan pulled out the sword in his hand, did not retreat, but rushed towards Tai Shi Ci, and more than a dozen of Zhang Yan's personal guards followed closely behind Zhang Yan, shouting and rushing towards the official army.

Tai Shici saw Zhang Yan and the dozen or so people rushing towards him, and praised: "The battle of trapped beasts, the courage is commendable." But the speed at which he bent his bow and arrows was not slow, and the arrows cut through a black arc and hit Zhang Yan's chest.

Zhang Yan, a hero in troubled times, fell to the ground before he could shine in this troubled times. Under the impact of thousands of elite horsemen, none of the dozen or so guards under his command stood in front of him.

Tai Shici jumped off the horse, waved his sword and cut off Zhang Yan's head, stared at the remnants of Montenegro who fled to the distance with deep eyes, and handed the head into the hands of a centurion: "You go back to the camp to report the victory, and I will chase the remaining Montenegrin army." Tai Shi Ci turned over his horse and led his troops to chase after the fleeing Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan died, the Montenegrin army was leaderless, except for the hundreds of Montenegrin troops who saw the opportunity to surrender to the official army's car, the rest of the Montenegrin army who fled in a hurry were shot and killed by Tai Shi Cijing's cavalry.

The head of the hundred people raised Zhang Yan's head and his soldiers shouted loudly and returned to the camp, seeing Zhang Yan's head, the officers and soldiers showed an excited smile on their faces, the thief commander had been killed by Tai Shici, and the officers and soldiers won a complete victory.

In the first battle last night, Zhao Yi's troops wiped out more than 20,000 Montenegrin troops and captured more than 90,000 people. Among them, about 5,000 elite soldiers were reorganized by Zhao Yi, and the remaining 80,000 were sent back to their hometowns by Zhao Yi.

Yang Xiu came to the military tent with a happy face and praised Zhao Yi a few words, it was nothing more than that the general was really a celestial man, and Yang Xiu couldn't pat the horse.

Zhao Yi knew Du Lieutenant Yang Xiu very well, and he was either a traitor or a thief when he had nothing to do, and slowly put down the brush that wrote his military exploits, and was not happy because of Yang Xiu's praise, so he asked directly: "The Du Lieutenant has won the award, and he has been marching and fighting for days, and the Du Lieutenant and his soldiers are tired, why don't you have a good rest in the tent?" ”

For Yang Xiu, who is a captain, Liu Bei and the three brothers looked down on him very much, they couldn't see anyone when they were fighting, but when they were playing military exploits, they ran in. Seeing Yang Xiu's flattering face, Liu Bei could guess the purpose of Yang Xiu's visit. It's nothing more than wanting Zhao Yi to write the credit in his name to ensure his prosperity.

Liu Bei is also a person who knows how to observe words and feelings, and he did not wait for Zhao Yi to give an order to evict guests, and gave his leave.

Seeing Liu Bei, an outsider, leave, Yang Xiu had no scruples, and directly explained his purpose, as Liu Bei guessed, Yang Xiu came for merit.

Even if Yang Xiu doesn't say anything about this matter, Zhao Yi will also help Yang Xiu write a few, at this time, the ten permanent servants in the court are in power, if Yang Xiu who is with the army does not have any credit, Zhao Zhong will not blame Zhao Yi.

"Don't worry, Captain, I've already arranged this matter." Zhao Yi smiled and unfolded the credit book and pointed out a few places, which were recorded in Yang Xiu's achievements.

Yang Xiumei smiled: "It's still thoughtful as an adult." Seeing that Zhao Yi had already made arrangements, Yang Xiu left the military tent with a smile on his face.

Zhao Yi sorted out the merit book, ordered the soldiers to quickly report this good news to the Ming court, Zhao Yi will return to the court in the near future, Zhao Yi will send most of the soldiers back, only with 20,000 elite officers and soldiers, and go to Luoyang.

Zhao Yi's recital reported that Zhao Yi's army came to Luoyang City, and the soldiers shouted loudly along the way: "Great victory in Montenegro, General Zhao Yi of Youzhou annihilated the enemy!" The Black Mountain thieves are falling apart! ”

This news caused a great shock among the people, and some ill-intentioned people sighed secretly, with Zhao Yi here, it was really difficult to destroy the imperial court.

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty heard this exciting news, he stood up excitedly, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and said three "good!" "Word," Bo Lai has recently made two great achievements, and I want to reward them well. "Expel the plague, stabilize the people's hearts, exterminate the Montenegrin army, and exterminate the rebels. These two things fully show that Zhao Yi is a literary and military all-rounder. Outstanding talent is more than one grade stronger than Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

I heard that Zhao Yi managed Zhuo County in an orderly manner in less than half a year, and destroyed the Montenegrin army and thieves. At this moment, the situation is turbulent, if there are a few more people like Zhao Yi in the imperial court, it will be a blessing for the society.

Zhang Rang and He Jin both showed joy on their faces, from the incident of the Black Mountain Army, they saw Zhao Yi's ability again, and they wanted to take Zhao Yi for their own use.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted Zhao Yi to enter the court as an official, and the official position he arranged was still above Zhao Yun.

At this time, one person walked out of his hand and said: "Shengshang, such a talent as General Zhao is really a pity to enter the court as an official, the Xiliang rebellion has not yet been quelled, why not let General Zhao lead the victorious army to fight for it." It will definitely be able to conquer the Xiliang rebels, and it will not be too late to reward them again. ”

Emperor Ling of Han pondered for a while, Beigong Boyu in Liangzhou was a difficult bone to gnaw, and the imperial court successively sent many armies, but they were all unable to conquer. Sending Zhao Yi to there is a good strategy, with Zhao Yi's resourcefulness, it may be possible to exterminate the Xiliang rebels.

Without waiting for Emperor Ling to speak, Zhang Rang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Youzhou is not simpler than that in Liangzhou, and recently the imperial court received a report from General Zhu Jun that Beigong Boyu has been greatly injured after fighting with the official army one after another, and it may be calmed down in a few days." It is better to arrange General Zhao Yi in Youzhou to deal with the nomadic tribes such as Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu, Goguryeo and Fuyu in the north. ”

Even He Jin, who disagreed with Zhang Rang's political views, nodded: "Zhang Changzhi is reasonable, the situation in Youzhou is complicated, and it really needs a person with outstanding ability to govern, after the incident of the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army, General Zhao has a great reputation in Youzhou and Jizhou, and he is indeed the best candidate." ”

It is rare for the two to have the same thoughts, and Zhang Rang and He Jin jointly recommended Zhao Yi as the pastor of Youzhou. This is a feudal official above 10,000 people under one person.

Liu Yan, a member of the royal family, was transferred to Yizhou, where everything was in ruins, and he needed an old and serious state pastor to govern, and Liu Yan, who was a royal family, was naturally the first choice.

Emperor Ling of Han thought a little and agreed, and the matter would be officially announced when Zhao Yi's class returned to the court.

Zhao Yun didn't want Zhao Yi to be this Youzhou pastor, so he went out to persuade Emperor Ling to take back his life, saying that Zhao Yi was still young, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to take on a big responsibility.

Emperor Han Ling waved his hand: "From dealing with these incidents, Zhao Yi's ability is obvious to all, he is a great talent who can take charge of himself, and I am very relieved that Youzhou is in the hands of Zhao Yi." Zhao Qing doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind. ”

The emperor decided to do so, and Zhao Yun had to bow down and thank the saint.

After the three dynasties, hundreds of officials congratulated Zhao Yun one after another, even He Jin and Zhang Rang were quite enthusiastic about Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun replied politely, looking at the enthusiastic officials in front of him, Zhao Yun was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he could almost think of the shock brought by Zhao Yi's return to Beijing.
