Yan Rou still had 500 soldiers by his side, passed Huai County without entering, came to the bank of the river, collected more than a dozen slightly larger boats, went down the water, went ashore on the white horse, and defected to Boss Cao.

Shi A was depressed, this was the only time the special elite missed. Since the establishment of the special elite, it has been almost invincible, and this time it was ordered by Liu Ze to rescue Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, but it failed miserably, and who killed Liu Xie was ignorant. Shi A was in a gloomy mood, and quietly led his subordinates back to Jixian County to report the situation to Liu Ze.

Liu Ze's name as a special elite has already shocked the princes. Where there exists, there is imitation, and various princes have also privately set up similar special elite troops, led by confidant generals.

Liu Xie died, and he died so tragically that Liu Ze felt his heart dripping blood. Liu Ze and Liu Xie only got along for two months, and they fell in love with this poor emperor's nephew. Liu Xie has experienced many turmoil, but he has become more and more courageous, and he is always thinking about controlling power and reviving the Han family. From this point of view, he is more ambitious than his old son. In history, Liu Xie was ousted from power by his brother-in-law Cao Pi, it was twenty years later, at that time Liu Xie was already middle-aged, and he was used to the days of no power and no profit, and was kicked to Shanyang by Cao Pi, became the Duke of Shanyang, died at the age of fifty-four, and Emperor Wei Ming was buried as the Son of Heaven. Anyway, although Liu Xie did not enjoy the happiness of being the emperor in his life, he got a good death. Could it be because of Liu Ze's arrival that Liu Xie died early? Liu Zeyue felt that he couldn't bear this nephew.

Liu Ze considered whether to form a new army. Thinking of Liu Hu, he is still nesting in Dongping, is it through Cao Cao to let Liu Hu and them come to Jixian County? After all, Jixian County is much closer than Xiangping.

When Huang Chengyan came to Jixian County, Liu Ze was very happy and greeted him personally. Huang Chengyan's turmeric nature is old and spicy, and there are no three polite words, and he goes straight to the point. Liu Ze said what he wanted to do. The expansion scale of Jixian County is far more than ten times that of Xiangping, which makes Huang Chengyan unable to speak, what is this idea? The absolute generosity has surpassed Luoyang and Chang'an, and is bigger than the two imperial capitals. Huang Chengyan smiled bitterly: "Rundong, the old man has taken a hot potato." Liu Ze said solemnly: "Huang Gong, please." Huang Chengyan said: "I have a few requirements. First of all, the old man is equipped with special manpower, not less than 100, and the old man has to go to Chang'an and Luoyang to investigate, and he can only plan after he returns. Building a city of such a scale is not an overnight effort, and materials and labor are even more costly, so Rundong must prepare in advance. Liu Ze said: "As Huang Gong said, Ze has already been prepared. Huang Chengyan saw that Liu Ze knew what he wanted, so he didn't say anything more.

Ten days later, Shi A led 500 special elites to escort Huang Chengyan's "expert group" to Chang'an first. Luoyang should be suspended, Yuan Shao's territory, Liu Ze has no bottom in his heart.

Zou Dan was ordered by Liu Ze to send an envoy to Yanzhou to meet Cao Cao. Offering Liu Ze's letter, Cao Cao began to read it carefully: Liu Ze bowed to Brother Cao. Sawamoto Higashihirichiro Nakaya, because of fate, got to know his brother, listened to the teachings, and the words were still in his ears. Fighting with his brother in the Tiger Prison, entering Los Angeles, and besieging Hangu, it was still yesterday. Today, I get Youzhou, every time I think of the feelings of the elders in the township, the meaning of fists, and there is no retribution. Today, Zou Dan came to visit, and wanted to inquire about the father and elders of the family, and those who were willing to come to Youzhou, the brother should not stop him, and it would be a great favor. Liu Ze said goodbye.

Cao Cao laughed after seeing it, and said to Zou Dan: "It's rare that Rundong doesn't forget his roots, this is a beautiful thing, how can it not be perfected?" Zou Dan saw Cao Cao's words, so he said: "My lord always said that he was alone, lived in Liaodong, returned to his hometown, and the fathers and elders of the clan took good care of him, so he was always in his heart. Cao Cao said: "I met Rundong in a Los Angeles wine shop, and we became irreversible. Rundong is a genius in the world, and in the past ten years, he has achieved such a feat, and I am often happy for my old friends in Yanzhou. Zou Dan bid farewell to Cao Cao and took Dongping to see Liu Hu.

Since the death of Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan faced Yuan Shao's army alone, and had no choice but to shrink his forces and hide his army in the deep mountains and old forests. Zhang Yan can be the leader of the Montenegrin Army, and he has his own unique place. Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, because he was agile and tough, and he was called Feiyan in the army. In today's words, Zhang Yan is outstanding, as light as a swallow, and is similar to Yanzi Li San. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he and Zhang Niujiao rose up together, and when attacking the gall pottery of Julu County, Zhang Niujiao was shot by the loss, and before he died, Zhang Niujiao entrusted Chu Yan with his subordinates. Chu Yan has a lot of respect for Zhang Niujiao, and calls him "righteous father", Niu Jiao died, Chu Yan changed his surname to Zhang, and was known as Zhang Yan of Montenegro.

Zhang Yan can fight, and has a strategy, more and more people gathered, often sent troops to capture the city, and his subordinates came from the neighboring Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Weijun, Hanoi, Shangdang and other places. With millions of people, the princes looked sideways and sat on the first position of the veritable black boss. Just like Song Jiang, the boss of Liangshanbo later, when Zhang Yan wanted people and territory, he began to think about the way out for his brothers. The preferred means of whitewashing is, of course, --- Zhao'an. The Black Mountain Army gang Gongsun Zan fought with Yuan Shao, and often went to Yuan Shao's territory to go around in circles, and now Yuan Shao is the emperor, the original Han Dynasty emperor Liu Xie heard that he was assassinated, and handed Yuan Shao an olive branch? With Yuan Shao's small belly chicken intestines, can there be good fruits to eat? Now that Liu Ze has Bingzhou and Youzhou, it is a matter of time before he sends troops to Jizhou, Liu Ze is strong enough, and he is the absolute boss of the princes, but Liu Ze hangs the empty name of Taiwei, and with Liu Xie's Zen position, it does not exist, and only retains the identity of Jizhou Mu. There is no need to say about the comparison of the position of the governor and the emperor. Zhang Yan was very annoyed, really annoyed, and couldn't make up her mind.

Xi Zhicai said that Liu Zedao: "Duke Ming, the Han Emperor is dead, and Han Zuo cannot end." The Ming Duke is a descendant of Guangwu, who should inherit the throne, inherit the Han Dynasty, command the world, eliminate the national thieves, and extend the Han Dynasty to restore the Han Dynasty. Guo Jia also said: "Yuan Shao stole the throne and lost the hearts of the people. Ming is a fair position, in response to the times, the heroes of the world, and they will return to the wind. Liu Ze listened, although he was excited, but he felt that he was a little doctor, did he have this ability and this fate? So he said: "The first emperor must have been committed by Yuan Shao's thief, and when he spread the word to the world, explain his crimes in detail, and avenge the first emperor, he can have something to say." Xi Zhicai said: "If the name is not right, then the words are not good, why don't Ming Gong be promoted to the king of Yan, with the hope of the world." Liu Ze nodded, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu's territory, it is no problem to be a prince.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were overjoyed, and they wrote books from all directions, so that state pastors, generals, etc., from all over the country, came to Jixian County to congratulate Ming Gong on his promotion to the throne of King Yan.

Of course, Zhang Yan's meticulous work would not miss such an important news, and the news that Liu Ze wanted to be called the king of Yan was quickly put on Zhang Yan's table.

Zhang Yan invited all the marshals under him to the Chinese army Dazhai to discuss. In this era, the person who can gather thousands of people is definitely a character, not to mention that Zhang Yan can convince millions of people, and his IQ is not ordinarily high. Looking at the various handsomes in the hall, Zhang Yan said: "Brothers, in order to avoid irritating the imperial court at that time, we call ourselves the Black Mountain Army, and we don't use the name of the Yellow Turban Army. If the princes are fighting today, there are only seven or eight people who stand out. Jizhou Liu Ze is strong, and if he wants to be the king in Jixian County, I intend to raise the army of Montenegro and go to attach, I don't know what you think? Gao Huanglong is the first general under Zhang Yan, and he is extremely brave, and when he heard the words, he said: "Dashuai, not for ourselves, but also for our children and grandchildren." Although Liu Ze is strong, he is just a prince, and Yuan Shao is so lazy that he is an emperor, so it is better to show favor to Yuan Shao. Wang Dang (how can he have a bit of Wang Bodang's taste) has read the book, is relatively calm, and said: "Lao Gao, do you know Yuan Shao?" Gao Huanglong was stunned for a moment and said: "I've fought dozens of battles with Lao Yuan, why don't you understand?" Wang Dangdao: "Yuan Shao, this person, I have something to say." The eyes of everyone in the hall suddenly looked over, and Sun Qing said: "Say it quickly, don't sell it." Wang Dang earned enough eyeballs and said with a smile: "Phoenix feather chicken gall, tiger skin dog bones." ”

Gao Huanglong scolded Wang Dangdao: "Reading "Spring and Autumn" in front of Confucius, what are you pretending to be? If you have something to say, you can talk about it, and if you have a fart, let it go. Wang Dang didn't care, smiled and stroked his long beard and said: "Yuan Benchu looks mighty and extraordinary on the surface, but he is just a cowardly villain in his bones. Have you ever heard of it," Wang Dang saw that everyone was looking at him intently, and continued: "When the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo and entered Luoyang City, Yuan Shao had the idea of becoming emperor. At that time, he got a piece of beautiful jade, and Yuan Shao showed off to Cao Mengde. It means that this piece of jade can be made into a jade seal. Look at how much territory this guy had at that time, he was just the Bohai County Guard, so he wanted to be the emperor. Sun Qing said: "At that time, he was quite an emperor? This is boldness, what do you say about chicken gall and tiger skin dog bones, it doesn't matter? ”

"Don't be busy, wait patiently for me to finish." Wang Dang took a sip of tea and continued: "Dong Zhuo heard that Yuan Benchu became the leader of the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and killed the family members of the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang City with a few clicks. When Dong Zhuo coerced the emperor to flee to Chang'an, Yuan Benchu set up a wine party in Luoyang City, and only Cao Mengde and Liu Rundong led troops to pursue. Tell me, if the hatred of destroying the door was put on you, what would you do? Gao Huanglong patted his thigh and said: "Grandma, it doesn't need to be said, even if you don't want to fight for Lao Tzu's life, you have to take revenge." Wang Dang smiled proudly and said, "Yuan Shao looked at the great enemy who destroyed the sect and didn't care, but he was drinking and having fun in Luoyang City. When you want to be an emperor, you are bold, and when you take revenge, you cower. This is not a chicken gall, what is it? Sun Qingyi patted the table and said: "It's not just chicken gall, it's not as good as mouse gall." The leader of the alliance, the enemy is in front, his grandmother drips, only cares about drinking, has no courage to take revenge, is as timid as a mouse, timid as a mouse. Zhang Yan said: "I didn't expect Sun Qing to also learn to drag texts." The crowd burst into laughter.

"When did Yuan Shao become the emperor?" Wang Dang threw out another question. Du Qian said: "Two months ago. "What did Yuan Shao do two months ago?" Wang Dang continued to ask. "Grandma, you kid sells off again. In the first battle of Jixian County, Liu Rundong was beaten by Liu Rundong, with more than 200,000 troops, less than 50,000 were brought back, and his life was still in danger. Gao Huanglong couldn't get used to seeing Wang Dang look superior everywhere. Zhang Yan interjected at the right time: "Yuan Benchu was defeated, but he wanted to be the emperor, everyone think about it, is this guy having a fever and burning his head?" Wang Dang said: "This guy is wearing a tiger skin, he was beaten so badly by Liu Rundong, he doesn't think about revenge, but he nests in Luoyang, thinking about being the emperor, what is the difference between this and a watchdog?" ”

Zhang Yan and Wang Dang's words stunned everyone, look at this is the ability, people see people in their bones, we only look at the surface. Gao Huanglong said to Zhang Yan: "Dashuai, it's because I have eyes and don't see the wrong person." Zhang Yan said: "Brothers, isn't this a discussion? Speak your mind. Gao Huanglong said loudly: "My boss Gao supports the idea of the big handsome, but the big handsome horse is the first to look forward." Wang Dang said beside him: "Grandma, Lao Gao, you have also learned to pretend to be Sven." The crowd laughed again.

Zhang Yan and Wang Dang cooperated and successfully persuaded all the little marshals, and Zhang Yan decided to take Wang Dang as an envoy and go to Jixian County to check the movement.

Guo Jia met Wang Dang, heard about the intention, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, although the Montenegrin army claimed to be one million, that was with the addition of the families of the soldiers, and the soldiers who could fight, there were still two or three hundred thousand. Sure enough, as Guo Jia guessed, Wang Dang reported to the Black Mountain Army, with more than 300,000 soldiers, including 50,000 elite soldiers.

Youzhou has this population, which is really a timely rain for Liu Ze. Youzhou is located on the border, the population is not large, coupled with years of war, the population has dropped sharply, 700,000 people, how much land can be reclaimed? How much wealth to increase? Liu Ze thought about it, and his heart blossomed.

Zhang Yan Changshan is really a native of Changshan, and Zhao Yun is a fellow countryman, and Liu Ze directly sent Lu Su and Zhao Yun to contact Zhang Yan. When the fellow sees the fellow, not to mention the tears in his eyes, the closeness in his heart is certain, which also indirectly expresses Liu Ze's goodwill.
