0255: Zhang Ningxian Montenegro
Stability has been restored, and for the Han people, they can live a stable life again, waiting for a bumper harvest after autumn. For the Hu people, they can also breathe a sigh of relief, and they don't have to worry about the separation of their wives and families due to the war.
In Liangzhou, the battle situation also began to tilt towards the Han court, although the previous defeat, but as Zhang Wen and his generals became more cautious, more cautious, step by step eroding the rebels' territory, the Liangzhou rebels could only continue to retreat, and Jincheng, Wuwei, Longxi and other counties of the city to defend the city, while relying on the support of the Qiang people to survive. It seems that defeat is only a matter of time.
It's just that, even so, it is still difficult for Han Emperor Liu Hong to be happy, for the simple reason that the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou Montenegro has still not been wiped out. At the beginning of the year, when the Montenegrin army was repelled by Li Yi, Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, gathered people and horses to take the opportunity to attack Montenegro, but the 50,000 army was killed by Zhang Yan, and he lost his armor.
At the same time, Zhang Yan led a large army to continuously plunder the property and population in Changshan and Zhongshan, and even attacked Julu and Zhao for a time. Fortunately, he soon led his army to withdraw to Montenegro, but he didn't know if he was worried about Li Yi in the annexed state. But even so, the power of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro increased again, and the strength soon exceeded 700,000 men.
Knowing this situation, he almost frightened the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong into fainting again, and hurriedly ordered Wang Fen not to act rashly, and at the same time convened important ministers to discuss countermeasures. It's just that after studying for a long time, they didn't think of any good ideas. Of course, in fact, there is a very simple way in front of them, but whether it is Liu Hong, scholars, eunuchs, or relatives, they all subconsciously ignore it.
There is no double city in the state, no country and no city.
"Hehe, more than 700,000 people...... This Zhang Yan really dares to brag~" Li Yi looked at the report sent by Taiyuan and sneered.
"These thieves are like this, whether they are old people or women, they are all counted in the army, and those who can really pull out to fight, there can be 200,000 people, which is considered to be the sky!" Cai Yong on the side sneered.
"But even if there are only 200,000 people, I'm afraid that Wang Tingshi will have a headache. Why don't you let me help him. Li Yi said, and picked up the pen and wrote on Jian Ce.
"Zikang, do you plan to send troops to Jizhou to the imperial court?" Seeing this, Cai Yong asked strangely.
"Yes, although I know it's unlikely, but try it~" Li Yiyan said with a smile.
Yes, it is unlikely, or Li Yi felt that it was impossible for the imperial court to agree to his request, for no other reason, and the credit was too great.
In fact, any emperor will take the initiative to avoid a courtier's excessive credit, after all, if the credit is great, it is not easy to seal. When the time comes, it will not be good for anyone. In fact, Li Yi now has such a little meaning, but he didn't enter Beijing after all, and no one except him can suppress the Hu people in Bingzhou, so he is safe. But it is obviously impossible to make any more contributions.
Otherwise, Liu Hong or those scholars and doctors would not subconsciously ignore the easiest way for Li Yi to lead the army to Jizhou to quell the chaos. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
Hearing this, Cai Yong shook his head, but he didn't say much. After a long while, after Li Yi sent the written Jian Ce to Beijing, he suddenly said to Cai Yong, "Uncle, since you don't want to enter Beijing as an official, why don't you help your son-in-law?" ”
"Humph! Think beautifully! It's not just me, you kid don't have to fight Bo Ying and Zishi's ideas, how can you say that we are also your elders, how awkward it is to be an official under you! Cai Yong scolded with an angry smile.
After speaking, Cai Yong said with a smile, "I am also very satisfied with this state now, I study poetry and music in my free time, and occasionally mention Shuwei and others." ”
Hearing this, Li Yi shook his head, understanding that Cai Yong and the others still did not give up the idea of returning to Beijing, but Li Yi really didn't understand this. Because the imperial court has sent many people to recruit Cai Yong, but Cai Yong did not agree at all. "Perhaps, this is the so-called arrogance of the scholars of this era?" Li Yi thought helplessly.
Changshan country, Puwu city.
"Holy ...... Huang Jun, I don't know why I came here suddenly? Zhang Yan asked with an unusually respectful attitude. Although he is already the absolute commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, Zhang Yan doesn't know why for Zhang Ning who is sitting in front of him, and there is always an inexplicable sense of fear. Although in fact, if Zhang Yan wanted to kill Zhang Ning at this time, it was just a matter of moving his mouth.
"Hehe, General Zhang doesn't need to be so respectful, who doesn't know that Montenegro has nearly one million troops and dominates the land of Changshan and Zhongshan in Jizhou?" Zhang Ning said with a chuckle.
"Huang Jun is polite, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke." Zhang Yan couldn't guess Zhang Ning's intention, but kept responding respectfully.
"Hehe, General Zhang has a lot of nobles, so I won't talk nonsense, but I came here this time to give General Zhang a favor, and when I need it in the future, I hope General Zhang can help me do something." Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Yan and smiled.
"Huang Jun's words are serious, Huang Jun has any requirements, as long as Yan can do it, he will definitely not refuse!" Zhang Yan said respectfully.
"Hehe, in fact, this matter is simple~" Zhang Ning said with a chuckle, then beckoned and motioned for Zhang Yan to come over. Seeing this, Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally leaned over.
In February, Nanyang Zhao Ci rebelled again in the name of the Yellow Turban Army and attacked and killed Qin Jie, the defender of Nanyang County. But he was soon pacified by the officers and soldiers who rushed in, and Liu Hong became proud again.
Well, although there are still rebellions in Liangzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou, Liu Hong is obviously very satisfied to be able to exterminate the Nanyang Yellow Turban so quickly. You must know that in normal times, every time the Yellow Turban remnants rise up, it will always be chaotic for months. And now, it's just a county guard who has died.
Well...... Poor Qin Jie, your emperor doesn't seem to care about you at all.
And then, a news came, which immediately made the world inexplicable, nothing else, it was Zhang Yan of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, who officially announced to the world that he had completely abandoned the name of the Yellow Turban Army and changed his name to the Black Mountain Army.
"What does he want to do?" Li Yi, who got the news, thought strangely.
Although this is indeed a trajectory that echoes history, Zhang Yan changed the name of the unit from the Yellow Turban to Montenegro for no reason, it can't be just boring, right?
It's just that, after thinking about it, Li Yi can't think of what makes Zhang Yan like this. After all, in this era, the title represents a lot, how can it be changed casually?
