In the historical record, Zhang Yan and the total number of the entire Montenegrin bandit army combined, more than one million, this number is not an exaggeration, by the Yellow Turban Army uprising and the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as the endless exploitation and excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes by the government and the family, many people in Hebei had to flee to Taihang Mountain or Yan Mountain with their families to escape the troubled times.

However, it is precisely because the Montenegrin Army is like this, no matter how strong Zhang Yan's personal ability is, because the Montenegrin Army is not a whole, it is like a plate of scattered sand, and even the scale of the vast majority of the Black Third Army is not large, not to mention the thirty-six square commanders of the Yellow Turban Army during the rebellion, and even Wu Dun and Yin Li, who are the least powerful among the Taishan thieves, cannot be compared.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was not able to form a climate in the end.

Of course, there is also Zhang Yan at the height of his power, encountered a strong enemy - Lu Bu, at that time, Lu Bu escaped from Guanzhong, first joined Yuan Shao, and helped Yuan Shao fight with the Montenegrin thieves, with Lu Bu's personal bravery, coupled with Yuan Shao's strong troops, after several battles, Zhang Yan's Black Third Army naturally suffered a lot of casualties, and therefore, Zhang Yan's personal reputation was greatly reduced, which greatly reduced his influence on the entire Montenegrin thieves.

This made it difficult for Zhang Yan to gather all the forces of the Black Mountain thieves again to fight against Yuan Shao, who was gradually growing in strength in the future.

Fortunately, Lu Bu is extremely ambitious, and the work of giving people a start has never been done for a long time, if it weren't for this, with his help, let alone Gongsun Zhan, even Zhang Yan had to raise the whole army to lose his sincerity to Yuan Shao.

However, perhaps for this reason, even though Yuan Shao unified the whole of Hebei and shook the whole world, Zhang Yan and most of the Montenegrin army he was able to control never surrendered to Yuan Shao.

And when Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao's two sons and unified the whole of Hebei, Zhang Yan immediately walked out of the mountains and surrendered to Cao Cao.

Because he was born a bandit, and the situation of the green forest and red eyebrows in the late Western Han Dynasty was very similar, therefore, neither Cao Cao nor later historians paid much attention to this 'little person' who had the ability to pry the situation in the whole world.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, who was shrinking in Yijing City, did not dare to lead his troops to fight anymore, his ambition and sharpness had been lost, and it was difficult to form a climate again, which was the biggest difference between him and his friend Liu Bei, and it was also the place where Jin Jue admired Liu Bei the most.

When Liu Bei became emperor, he was already sixty years old, that is, when he captured the entire Yizhou (including the first time in his life that he repelled the Cao army led by Cao Cao and captured Hanzhong County), he was already fifty years old, and at such an age, Liu Bei still did not change his ambitions.

And Zhang Yan suffered setbacks in the hands of Yuan Shao repeatedly, and when he faced Yuan Shao's army, he was already powerless.

According to the 'Helping Friends Plan' drawn up by Jin Jue, this time, Jian Yong went to Yijing City to meet Gongsun Zhan, and he went to give him a reassurance.

Gongsun Chan doesn't have to be as anxious as in history, with Yi Jingcheng's defense capability, coupled with Jin Jue's memory of Yuan Shaojun's method of finally capturing Yi Jingcheng to prevent it in advance, in terms of food and troops in the city, Gongsun Chan will not be a problem to hold on for another three or four years.

However, Gongsun Zhan is just a target, and he who has been nesting in Yijing City is actually unable to pose any threat to Yuan Shao, let alone weaken Yuan Shao's army.

The real killer is still in Zhang Yan.

After meeting Gongsun Zhan, Jian Yong would try his best to persuade Gongsun Chan to send an envoy to meet Zhang Yan with the dynasty.

What do bandits do best?

It was never a war with a local prince, let alone a siege, but a robbery.

Historically, the most famous bandit, Wagang Mountain at the end of the Sui Dynasty, was not defeated in the end.

In terms of governance, Yuan Shao is no better than Cao Cao, let alone Jin Jue, and he himself, as well as most of the important ministers under his command, are all from wealthy families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and they do not attach much importance to the grain production under his rule, nor do they pay much attention to restoring the livelihood of the people under his rule as soon as possible. His subordinates seized a lot of local fertile land in Jizhou and took it for themselves.

Yuan Shao himself is like this, not to mention most of his subordinates, in addition, since Yuan Shao skillfully took Jizhou, every year he will send troops to compete with the surrounding princes for territory, and in the past three years, he has sent troops to attack Gongsun Zan one after another, and the people of Hebei have no time to cultivate.

Therefore, when Jin Jue let the dynasty see Zhang Yan, he offered a strategy that Zhang Yan, who commanded his descendants and the bandits with a better reputation among the Black Mountain thieves, took advantage of the next year, when Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Yijing City again, he swarmed out of the mountains and went to the counties and counties of the Jizhou Assassin History Department to plunder the people everywhere into the mountains.

In this operation, the bandits with relatively small forces did not need to attack any county towns at all, or even local families to build manors like fortresses, but only needed to take as many people from various villages as possible into the mountains.

And the power is relatively large, the leaders of the bandits can choose to suddenly attack a county seat, or several strong fortresses of local families, according to their own ability and strength, and seize enough food from it, when the time comes, the dynasty will definitely tell Zhang Yan again and again that when attacking the city and robbing the people, they can take away the grain, cloth, and all the livestock in the city, but do not rob the gold, silver and jewelry in the city, those things are not worth anything in troubled times.

As for Zhang Yan, the dynasty would personally help him try to capture the county seat of a county.

For the Montenegrin thieves, it is not difficult to kidnap the surrounding people up the mountain, the real difficulty is how to feed these people.

At this point, Jin Jue gave the suggestion, when Zhang Yan sent troops, he not only had to kidnap the people to go up the mountain, but also kidnap the famous ministers under Yuan Shao to go up the mountain, especially those with high governance ability.

With such great powers as Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, Jin Jue certainly hoped that Zhang Yan would be able to 'invite the two of them to the mountain'.

However, it is obvious that at this time, these two important strategists under Yuan Shao are extremely important to Yuan Shao, and there must be many guards around him, unless Bao Chu personally takes action, otherwise, no one in the world can take them away from the heavy army.

This time, in order to weaken Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce at the same time, Jin Jue even sent out all the four guards around him, how could he send the only master around him again?

When it comes to the fear of assassination by the enemy, Jin Jue is definitely more afraid of this than anyone in this era.

Although Wang Chao is not good at leading troops in battle, he himself is tall and powerful, handsome, and extremely good at words, so Jin Jue will send him to carry out the entire task that is not very risky.
