Chapter 169: Zhang Yan surrenders

After Yang Feng gave Lu Bu a gift, he first took out the handwritten letter written by Zhang Yan to Lu Bu and handed it to Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu read it, Zhang Yan spoke earnestly in the letter, first asking Lu Bu for forgiveness and forgiveness for the crime of ambushing in Zhending World War 1.

He put his position very low, and expressed his willingness to accept any conditions of Lu Bu, only asking for Lu Bu to accept the surrender of the Montenegrin Army, and to ensure the personal safety of Zhang Yan and the Montenegrin Army, and nothing else.

The Montenegrin Army is willing to be the vanguard minions of the Chang'an Imperial Court, dealing with Yuan Shao and all those who are against Lu Bu.

Lu Bu put down the letter and asked Yang Feng, "Dare to ask how many soldiers and horses you still have in the Montenegrin Army, and what is the population?" ”

Yang Feng stood up straight and replied loudly: "Returning to the general, our Black Mountain Army still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers that can fight, and the population is millions!" ”

Lu Bu waved his hand, "If you really surrender, tell me the truth, in your letter from the leader of Zhang Yan, your posture is very low!" ”

Yang Feng blushed and responded: "I said that I was used to it, and I haven't changed it for a while, and I ask the general to forgive me!" The Montenegrin army now has about 150,000 combatable soldiers, scattered in several mountains, with a family population of about 600,000 or 700,000, many of whom are poor people who are hiding from the war in the mountains! ”

Lu Bu nodded, "Go back and tell your big boss, I admire Zhang Yan, if he really surrenders, let him take all the soldiers out of the mountain and go to the city controlled by our army to accept Zhao'an." β€œ

"All the family members and people can be sent to the nearest three counties of Bingzhou or Jizhou, like tuntian, nomadic or farming, optional. Zhang Yan and all the leaders of the Montenegrin Army will go to Bingzhou to report first, and I will arrange for them to study at the Shaling Military Academy. ”

"After graduation, I will arrange positions as appropriate, as long as he Zhang Yan has good grades, it is not impossible to give him a division commander of the Central Army, as for the 150,000 people of your Montenegrin Army, the recruit training camp in the advanced clouds, survival of the fittest, the Central Army should not eat mixed rice."

"As for Yuan Shao, don't worry, I don't believe it, after you return to the imperial court, Yuan Shao will dare to enter my territory to attack you, tell Zhang Yan, let him rest assured, Yuan Shao won't be able to jump for a few days!"

Yang Feng rushed back to Xishan day and night with LΓΌ Bu's conditions, Zhang Yan was attacked by Yuan Shao very critically, and heard that LΓΌ Bu agreed to their submission, and wanted to reorganize the Montenegrin army, and also allowed them, the leaders of the Montenegrin army, to go to what military school.

Zhang Yan is not a person who is not well-informed, he has long heard that there is an officer school in Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, which specializes in training middle and lower-level officers, and those new equipment and new tricks of fighting style in the Bingzhou Army are all taught in the military academy.

Since Lu Bu agreed with him Zhang Yan to go to the military academy, it means that he did not treat them as outsiders, but sincerely accepted them.

What kind of character and courage is Lu Bu, how can he take the things of the year to heart?

Zhang Yan immediately sent a message to the people and horses of the villages belonging to the Black Mountain Army, and those who were willing to follow him Zhang Yan to the imperial court immediately gathered the men and horses, took their families and people to the area under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an court, and surrendered to the government, and the court guaranteed the safety of their lives.

If you don't want to be obedient, find your own way! Zhang Yan was the first to lead the main force of the Montenegrin Army to pull down Jingcheng Mountain and surrender to Changshan's full favor.

Man Zhong had already received Lu Bu's order, warmly received Zhang Yan and the others, and thought of relocating the families and people of the Montenegrin Army, and sending people to escort the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army to the old camp in Yunzhong, of course, after disarming.

Zhang Yan loved and hated the Montenegrin officers and soldiers who were unwilling to hand over their weapons, and he jokingly said: "After you have trained, you can join the Central Army, and the equipment issued by that time will not be a hundred times better than your broken copper and iron?" Are you stupid to drill into the ravine? ”

Yuan Shao originally wanted to expand the results of the battle, but he didn't expect Zhang Yan to be very decisive, and directly surrendered to Lu Bu, and everyone withdrew into Lu Bu's territory.

Yuan Shao really didn't have the courage to chase after him and stir up trouble, especially since the first division of the Central Army was stationed in the three counties of Jizhou, this is an old army started by Lu Bu!

In Hanoi, where Si Li was lieutenant, Henan also stationed the first cavalry division of the Central Army, which was also the main force under Lu Bu, Xu Rong and Zhang He were both famous generals in the world, and they were all staring at the Kwantung princes!

However, the fastest growing power among the Kwantung princes is not Yuan Shao, in fact, it is Cao Cao, with the help of Xun Yu, he got a group of important strategists, such as Cheng Yu, Mao Yu and Xun You, etc., and the generals are even more talented, all of whom are worthy of great responsibilities.

Yanzhou is also the land of four wars, Yuan Shao in the north is not something that Cao Cao can challenge for the time being, and Hanoi and Henan occupied by LΓΌ Bu in the west.

The east is the territory of the Qingzhou Army, Cao Cao has dealt with the Qingzhou Army more than once, and the name of the Tiger Face Army is like thunder, and I heard that the relationship between the Qingzhou Army and Lu Bu is unknown.

The Qingzhou army was modeled on Lu Bu's Bingzhou army for training and equipment, and I heard that Lu Bu also sent people to help them train the army and build equipment.

After the Qingxu Yellow Turban was incorporated at the beginning, Cao Cao, whose strength had swelled, attacked Taishan County to the east, because Taishan County originally belonged to Yanzhou.

As a result, the Qingzhou army unceremoniously sent an army of 100,000, with Chen Zhi as the main general, Zang Ba and Zhou Cang as the deputy generals, and fought with Cao Cao in a dignified manner.

Not only did it not occupy an inch of land in Taishan County, but its own Lu country was occupied by the Qingzhou army.

Fortunately, at that time, the attention of the Qingzhou army was not on Cao Cao, but was busy capturing other counties in Qingzhou that had not yet been controlled by the Qingzhou army.

Tang Zhou Ke was appointed by the imperial court to assassinate Qingzhou, and the recovery of Qingzhou's counties was justified.

The forces of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were squeezed out of Qingzhou, especially Yuan Shao finally beat away Liu Bei in the plain, and as a result, the fruits of victory were snatched away by the Qingzhou army before they were hot.

Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang first fell for the tiger-faced army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and finally fell into the ambush of the Qingzhou army.

After Liu Bei was beaten away from the plains by Yuan Shao, he went south to Xuzhou and defected to Tao Qian.

Liu Bei originally had more than 1,000 people in his hands, and later recruited some Wuhuan rangers, and on the way south, he also sheltered a large number of hungry people, and recruited thousands of soldiers from them.

Tao Qian and Liu Bei have an old relationship, when the Yellow Turban invaded Xuzhou, Liu Bei also led the army to help, Tao Qian missed the old, so he let Liu Bei stay in Xiaopei, and recommended him as the assassin of Yuzhou, and sent him an additional 4,000 soldiers and horses.

Later, the holy decree of Chang'an came down and really appointed Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou.

Of course, Tao Qian's letting Liu Bei Tun Yu Xiaopei was not entirely kind.

Although Xiaopei belongs to Yuzhou, it is far from the center of Yuzhou, but is diagonally inserted between Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Cao Cao in Yanzhou is Tao Qian's biggest threat, so Xiao Pei is actually the front line against Cao Cao, so Liu Bei is in Xiao Pei to provide Tao Qian with a buffer, especially the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang can fight well.

Moreover, although Yuzhou is large and has a large population, although it has withstood the catastrophe of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it can still be regarded as a populous state.
