Chapter 496: Zhang Yan's actions

Zhang Liao guarded Dangyin, swore to live and die with Dangyin City, and the destruction of Zhang Wu, the deputy commander of the wolf cavalry, was already well known among the generals of the Bingzhou army, and they did not complain about Zhang Liao because of this matter, the same thing was put on them, and they did not have the confidence to do better than Zhang Liao, and dared to raid the Jizhou army with a hundred cavalry, what a crazy general.

Zhang Liao ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, towards the mighty city of Dangyin, arrived at the city of Dangyin, Zhang Liao did not go to the outside of the city to fight, but stationed in the west of the city ten miles, ordered the soldiers to build a camp, waiting for the arrival of the army, was the Jizhou army broke through the city of Dangyin, he escaped from the west gate of the city, and now, he will be in the place of shame that day, to find the glory of the state army, for the dead soldiers.

At the same time, from Yecheng also a steady stream of all kinds of materials, only the number of thunderbolt cars in the city reached two hundred, even if it is scattered to the various city gates, the number is also very amazing, the thunderbolt in the hands of Zhang Liao that day made the Jizhou army helpless, compared to the thunderbolt, the power of the bed crossbow to defend the city is also not to be underestimated, the bed crossbow with a range of two hundred steps, once it is useful, the range can reach two hundred and ten steps, for the siege party is definitely a lingering nightmare.

The thunderbolt can throw boulders, and the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow can pierce several soldiers with one arrow, and the shock is also great.

Yuan Shao's attack on Hanoi is also a last resort, Wei County is very close to Hanoi, if the Bingzhou army takes root in Hanoi, it is definitely a huge threat to Jizhou, although the number of the Montenegrin army is large, Yuan Shao is confident that it will be broken, but the Bingzhou army is too strong, if there is such a neighbor by his side, even if it is at night, he will not want to sleep peacefully.

In Jizhou, after Zhang Yan received an order from Lu Bu, he immediately gathered his generals.

The Montenegrin army has millions of people, but it is distributed in Changshan country, Zhongshan country, Zhao County, originally in Hanoi and Shangdang also had the Montenegrin army, after Lu Bu entered the state strongly, Zhang Yan withdrew the Montenegrin army of Shangdang, as for the Montenegrin army in Hanoi Zhang Yan did not move, and decided to take refuge in the state army, the Montenegrin army in Hanoi can become the people under the rule of Lu Bu, just to really see Lu Bu's attitude towards the Montenegrin army, so that the generals of the Montenegrin army are convinced.

In the Montenegrin army, Sun Qing and Wang Dang are active in Zhongshan country, Yang Feng is in Changshan country, because the valley is connected, they can rely on each other, but they are not afraid of the siege of the Jizhou army, in the Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan's absolute henchmen are Sun Qing and Wang Dang, these two people are brave in battle, command the troops in a good way, and win Zhang Yan's trust, Yang Feng is also an old man in the Yellow Turban Army.

"Now that the Marquis of Jin and Yuan Shao are about to start a big battle in Dangyin, General Ben has decided that all the Montenegrin troops will attack and harass the city of Jizhou, so that Yuan Shao can't take care of each other, do you have any objections?" Zhang Yan glanced around at everyone and said slowly.

If you ask the biggest enemy of the Montenegrin army, it is none other than Yuan Shao, these years, the battle against the Montenegrin army Jizhou has never stopped, although the Montenegrin army has 100,000 people, after being dispersed to various places, the strength is not much, not to mention what the combat effectiveness of the Montenegrin army is, they are also very clear, I am afraid that only 10,000 elite Jizhou troops can chase them around.

"Obey the general's orders!" Sun Qing hugged his fists.

Seeing Yang Feng frowning and pondering, Zhang Yan wondered, "What does General Yang mean?" "In the Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan is the most incomprehensible is Yang Feng, when Yang Feng came to Jizhou to take refuge in him, there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was also prosperous in Changshan Country over the years, and there was a faint tendency to sit big, but he never disobeyed Zhang Yan's order.

"Didn't the general choose to merge with the state?" Yang Feng asked.

Zhang Yan quietly went to Bingzhou to conspire with Lu Bu, which was absolutely confidential in the Montenegrin army, not to mention Yang Feng, even Sun Qing and Wang Dang did not know.

"Compared with Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Jin treats the people kindly, and the Marquis of Jin sells the horses and blades of the Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan said slowly.

Sun nodded lightly, relatively speaking, he was more optimistic about the Marquis of Jin, after all, what the Marquis of Jin had done over the years was no secret in the Black Mountain Army.

"General, with all due respect, although the Marquis of Jin is powerful, he is in Bingzhou, if the Montenegrin Army helps the Marquis of Jin at this time, after Yuan Shao returns to Jizhou, he will definitely not let go of the Montenegrin Army." Yang Fengdao.

Zhang Yan sneered: "General Yang thinks that even if the Montenegrin Army does not move, Yuan Shao will let go of the Montenegrin Army, before Yuan Shao attacked Dangyin, but gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in Wei County." ”

"Obedience." Seeing that Zhang Yan's face was not good, Yang Feng hurriedly hugged his fists.

"All troops and horses, loot the counties, do not kill the people, for the family in the city, there is no need to be soft, it is about to enter winter, and the brothers of the Montenegrin army also need supplies." Zhang Yan said.

After discussing for a long time, the generals of each department returned to their respective camps to prepare for the next move.

But Zhang Yan kept Sun Qing, and he felt that he should inform Sun Qing of his refuge in the state.

"General." Sun bowed lightly, and then sat down at the bottom of the head.

"You have been following General Ben for several years, and you must know very well what kind of person General Ben is." Zhang Yan said.

Sun Qing hugged his fists and said: "It was the general who saved the life of the lowly position, and the lowly position is unforgettable." ”

"To tell you the truth, General Ben secretly went to Bingzhou once and met the Marquis of Jin." Zhang Yan said slowly: "In Jinyang, what General Ben saw was the prosperous era depicted by the great sage and good teacher, and the people of Jinyang were carefree and did not need to worry about the exploitation of officials and families. ”

Sun Qing's heart was shocked, he also thought that Zhang Yan might have an ulterior secret with Bingzhou, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yan had already chosen to merge with Zhou.

"Can you trust General Ben?" Zhang Yan asked.

Sun Qing got up and said: "The general cares about the people, and the Montenegrin army knows it, no matter what choice the general has, he will swear to follow him." ”

"After you go back, find an opportunity to inform Wang Dang about this." Zhang Yan said: "You also have to be careful of Yang Feng, Yang Feng has secretly trained a lot of soldiers and horses over the years, and he has robbed the surrounding counties by unscrupulous means." ”

"Whoa." Sun Qing hugged his fists, for Zhang Yan, he and Wang Dang trusted, as said, no matter what choice Zhang Yan had, they would swear to follow.

After Sun Qing left, Zhang Yan fell into deep thought, this is a big gamble for the Montenegrin army, he knows that some people will not be willing to let go of the power in their hands, obey the orders of others and occupy the mountain as the king, I believe that many Montenegrin generals will choose the latter, one is to lose confidence in the government, and the other is the power in their hands, so that they have greater ambitions.
