Tian Feng also admired Zhang Yan for ruling Montenegro for many years, and he was a heroic figure with affection and righteousness, so he also replied: "Tian can't call the shots of what Zhang Dashuai said, but my son-in-law is kind-hearted and will definitely agree." Zhang Yan's subordinates here didn't agree, Li Damu, Guo Xian, Qingniujiao and other small leaders of Montenegro also persuaded one after another: "Dashuai, Yuan Jun can't be gullible, let's fight with all our strength, swear to cover Dashuai to get out of trouble, and hope that Dashuai will think twice." Zhao Yun also persuaded beside him: "Yun should also work hard to escort Brother Zhang to go elsewhere in Dongshan, although he has no regrets in death." ”

Zhang Yan looked at the brothers under him, as well as Zhao Yun, and sighed: "I only want to survive in troubled times when we set up Montenegro, if I kill myself and kill such an innocent life, I Zhang Yan will never do it." At this time, Yuan Xi led the army to arrive, and after listening to Zhang Yan's words, he also sighed and praised: "General Gao Yi, Xianyi will never kill innocents indiscriminately." Yuan Xi knew that Zhang Yan was a trustworthy person, and since he promised to surrender, he would not regret it, so he stepped forward alone and said solemnly: "As long as you are willing to submit, Zhang Yan is the general of my Yuan family, and you are still General Zhang Yan's subordinates." Of course, if you don't want to join the army and stay in my Youzhou, I will arrange a place to go. ”

Zhang Yan was very surprised by Yuan Xi's measurement, since he didn't have to die, it was naturally better, but some of the people under his hands and some leaders were still a little resistant, so Zhang Yan cheekily asked: "Major General Yuan's kindness should not be requested, can I wait to go in and discuss with my family before making a decision?" Yuan Xi also knew that the Yuan family had a deep grudge with Montenegro, and if they wanted to resolve the grievances, they must give the Montenegrin army a certain amount of trust and time, so Yuan Xi said: "Zhang Dashuai, wait for your arrival at the camp in Jixian County at noon tomorrow!" Zhang Yan was grateful.

The leaders under Montenegro couldn't believe it, this Yuan Shao General was so confident, and Zhao Yun also admired the measure of this Yuan Shao's son. Yuan Xi stopped his subordinates and said meaningfully to Zhao Yun: "Three days later, I hope to see General Zilong again, and I want to ask the general for advice on riding and shooting." Then Yuan Xi ordered his soldiers to return to Jixian County.

On the way, the soldiers under Yuan Xi all felt that their son-in-law was too benevolent, and the Black Mountain thief was so cunning, how could he easily believe it. Only Tian Feng knows that this method of the second prince is the best way, in the past few years, the Yuan army and the Montenegrin army have become fire and water, not dying, not giving considerable preferential treatment and trust, even if this Zhang Yan is destroyed, there will be the next leader. So, Tian Feng explained: "Subduing Montenegro and reorganizing the army for my use is the best way to solve the Montenegro problem, and the lord's adventure is also worth it, and I also believe in Zhang Yan." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and added: "I still can't hide it from Tian Gong, destroying Montenegro will not help our strength in Youzhou, and we will also lose Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun, two generals, only take a risk, and don't enter the tiger's den to get the tiger." Everyone was relieved and began to prepare for tomorrow's handover ceremony.

Zhang Yan led everyone back to the cottage camp, and found that Yuan Xi's subordinates had committed no offense against their relatives, and the leaders also admired Yuan Xi very much. Zhang Yan knew that Zhao Yun was also a rare talent, since he was going to surrender to Yuan Xi, he naturally hoped that his lord would have more talents, so he looked at Zhao Yun on the side and persuaded: "Brother Zilong, Yuan Tingshi is not like his father Yuan Shao, he is a master who can achieve great things, why don't you vote for him with me tomorrow?"

Zhao Yun also admires Yuan Xi very much, but he already has a clear master in his heart, that is, Liu Bei, since he promised others, he naturally wants to do it. Zhao Yunwan rejected Zhang Yandi's proposal: "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, I promised an old man to vote for him, and I should leave after this incident." Zhang Yanqi said: "Zilong is none other than Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is indeed a brilliant master. Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is too worried, the old man in Zilong's heart is Liu Bei Liu Xuande, although Cao Mengde is eloquent, but he is not the master in my heart." Zhang Yan didn't know much about Liu Bei, so it was difficult to persuade him, so he was silent. It was Zhao Yun who opened his mouth and said: "Tomorrow I am also going to the camp of Jixian County, and I am still very interested in the archers of Yuan Tingshi." ”

Late at night, in a deserted place in the Black Mountain Cottage, the two were chatting secretly. I only heard a woman say: "Uncle Zhang, do you think the Yuan family can win the world?" Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said: "I have always refused to surrender because I am not optimistic about the Yuan family, and I am even more optimistic about Prime Minister Cao Cheng. But after these several confrontations, this Yuan Xi is really unfathomable, and now we are also desperate, so we can only take refuge in them and give them a fight, maybe we can give everyone a home, and live up to your father's trust. There are few people who can admire Zhang Yan, and Zhang Xiu'er is also very curious about what kind of person Yuan Xi is, so she asked Zhang Yan: "Xiu'er has a request, I want you to arrange for me to get close to that Yuan Xi." ”
