From Gongsun Zhan's body, once again to feel that although Liu Bei's life has been upside down, it has never changed his ambition, throughout the history of China, there are really few people who can be like Liu Bei, when he is fifty or sixty years old, he will not change his ambition.

Hearing Jian Yong's answer, Gongsun Chan was a little surprised, and he persuaded: "Xianhe, you have traveled thousands of miles to deliver a letter to Xuande Xian, this journey is full of dangers, you must have been very tired, why don't you stay here for more than ten days, and then it's not too late to set off?" ”

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Gongsun Chan actually wanted to keep Jian Yong for a few more days, but as soon as he knew that Gongsun Chan had chosen the next strategy and chose a dead end, Jian Yong didn't want to take it down in this ghost place for a day.

When Jian Yong heard this, he immediately replied: "Gongsun Gong, depending on the weather, the winter in Youzhou this year is a little early, if Yong doesn't leave immediately now and sets off for Montenegro, it is very likely that he will be blocked by heavy snow." In this way, Yong will have to wait until next year's snow melts to be able to complete the task of my family's main bus and bus. Therefore, Yong had no choice but to decline your kindness! Please forgive me!

If Gongsun Gong himself doesn't want your sons to take risks, you only need to send one or two young generals in your army who have been in contact with Zhang Yan and other leaders to lead the way. ”

This time, Gongsun Chan didn't have time to answer, among his sons, a twenty-five or sixteen with a face very similar to Gongsun Chan when he was young Well, a son couldn't help but stand up and took the initiative to ask his father for help: "Guan Changshi, don't say anything more about this matter." The father and son are willing to be messengers and go with Mr. Jian to meet Zhang Yan. ”

This is one of the sons of Gongsun Zhan, the only Gongsun Xu who left his real name in the history books.

Among the sons of Gongsun Chan present, there are some who are older than Gongsun Zhan, some who are the same age as him, and many of them are not yet ten years old now, but except for Gongsun Xu, they all cowered in front of Gongsun Zhan, not to mention taking the initiative to intervene in front of Gongsun Zhan, they sat upright one by one, and did not dare to make any big moves at the table.

Only this Gongsun Xu was bold alone, and when he took the initiative to ask for his life and finished speaking, Jian Yong looked at Gongsun Zhan's face again, and he understood in his heart.

Obviously, although this Gongsun Xu is not Gongsun Zhan's sister-in-law, he must be very favored by Gongsun Chan on weekdays. Otherwise, among Gongsun Zhan's sons, why is he the only one who dares to stand up and interject?

Changshi Guan Jing was choked by Gongsun Xu's words, Gongsun Zhan frowned when he heard this, Gongsun Xu saw this, and bowed down to him again and asked for his life: "Father, you will agree!" ”

Gongsun Chan took a deep look at his son, who was very similar to his own in appearance, personality and ability, pondered for a moment, nodded with difficulty, and replied, "Okay then! Continue, along the way, you must be more careful! ”

"Thank you, father!" When Gongsun continued to hear this, he was overjoyed.

"Kenhe, when are you going to leave?" Turning around, Gongsun Chan asked.

"Gongsun Gong, without further ado, look at this day, maybe it will snow heavily when, if it snows heavily, it will be much more difficult for Yong to see Zhang Yan and others this year." Jian Yong once again used the weather as an excuse to ask Gongsun Chan for his resignation.

Jian Yong and Gongsun Zan are both old Youzhou people, so they naturally know that when it snows in Youzhou, it is absolutely incomparable to the north of the Yellow River, and once it snows, it will definitely not be small. Not to mention entering the mountain at this time, it is difficult to move on the official road.

"Xu'er, you?" Gongsun Chan was not worried about Jian Yong, but he was extremely worried that his son would suffer in such weather, so he wanted to dissuade Gongsun Xu.

"Father, when you were in the north of Xinjiang, how could you ever be afraid of the wind and snow in Youzhou?" Gongsun Xu replied nonchalantly.

So, at noon on this day, Jian Yong and his party, who had lunch, plus the five hundred cavalry assigned by Gongsun Zhan to protect Gongsun Xu, left Yijing City together, rode westward, and galloped towards Zhang Yan's station.

Black Mountain Thief, a peasant rebel army in Hebei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the main force of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the Eastern Han Dynasty successively had historical times such as the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the fierce conflict between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants, and the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, and the heroes raised troops to defeat Dong Zhuo.

The warlords of the prefectures and counties outside the Guanxi were busy fighting for territory with each other in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo, and during this period, they naturally did not take care of the livelihood of the people under his rule.

Therefore, the peasants in Hebei, especially in Jizhou and Montenegro, who suffered a huge blow from the Yellow Turban Army Rebellion, could not survive, and they had to rise up one after another, revolting one after another, and organizing themselves under various names.

These rebel forces, which were mostly composed of civilians, were mainly concentrated in the valleys of the Taihang Mountains in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao, Shangdang and Hanoi.

Montenegro is located at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, so the history books refer to this rebel army as the Montenegrin Army.

This is the past and present life of the Black Mountain thief.

Of course, the Montenegrin army is inevitably mixed with many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army.

The first president of the Montenegrin Army was Zhang Niujiao, who rose up with the three brothers of the Zhang family, and after Zhang Niujiao died in battle, he was replaced by Zhang Yan today, and the military name was Feiyan.

The structure of the Montenegrin Army is similar to that of the Yellow Turban Army, with 20,000 or 30,000 large and 6,700 small. In addition, the peaks of the Taihang Mountains are repeated, and the altitude is more than 2,000 meters. The southeast of the mountain range is the Hebei Plain, and the northwest is the Shanxi Plateau, and the Hebei Plain leads to the Shanxi Plateau between the Taihang Mountains. The topography of the Taihang Mountains provides relatively convenient conditions for the mutual communication and strategic cooperation of the various units of the Montenegrin Army distributed in the valleys of the Taihang Mountains.

Therefore, when Emperor Ling of Han was alive, even though he had exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, he had no way to take the Black Mountain Army.

However, it is precisely because of this that although the overall strength of the Montenegrin Army is very strong, the people and troops in its hands are scattered into the hands of the small leaders on each mountain, and they have never been able to form a joint force.

Especially in the fourth year of the first peace, Yuan Shao tried to exterminate the Montenegrin army in his territory, and united the main forces of Lü Bu and Zhang Yan to start a fierce battle in Changshan.

At that time, Zhang Yan had tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of war horses. The two sides fought for more than ten days, although Zhang Yanjun suffered many casualties, Yuan Shaojun also felt tired, so the two sides retreated.

After this battle, Zhang Yan's prestige in the Montenegrin army was greatly hit, and many powerful marshals in the Montenegrin army began to disobey Zhang Yan's dispatch.
