"Pass on the general's order, let Yuan Liang enter the hall." Zhang Yanlang said.

"Pass Yuan Liang." After shouting, Yuan Liang followed the two thieves into the hall.

After seeing the fierce and vicious leader in the hall, even if it was Yuan Liang's knowledge, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Why don't you salute when you see General Zhang?" A loud shout came, making Yuan Liang's hand tremble slightly.

However, at this time, Yuan Liang, who came on behalf of the face of Jizhou, naturally would not show weakness, and he believed that the leader of the bandits would not dare to do anything to him, after all, he was the Taishou of Julu County, and if he died in the hands of these thieves, the consequences would not be predictable by these thieves.

Yuan Liang snorted coldly: "This official is the Taishou of Julu County canonized by the imperial court, and you are just a thief who has fallen into the grass, if you are willing to take refuge in this official, you will be free from the danger of being added to the sword and axe in the future." ”

It's okay to fool the ordinary leader with such words, who is Zhang Yan, and shouted: "Bold Yuan Liang, you are talking nonsense here, do you really think that the sword in the general's hand is not sharp?" As long as General Ben gives an order, don't say that it is you Yuan Liang, even if Yuan Shao comes, what can you do. ”

I have to say that Zhang Yan's shouting really surprised Yuan Liang, and the momentum emanating from Zhang Yan's body made him a little frightened, "General Zhang laughed, this official came this time to give General Zhang a fortune." "It's not uncommon for thieves to call themselves generals.

When Zhang Yan heard this, her expression softened slightly, "What is the matter, just tell me." ”

"There are a lot of people here, and if it is known to others, I am afraid it will be a little bad." Yuan Liang glanced at the left and right, and from Zhang Yan's actions, he could see that he was not a person who was willing to become a thief, and today he was in turmoil, how many brave people fell into the grass, and they didn't want to live like this, but they just lacked someone to recruit them.

Yuan Liang's words offended a lot of the leaders in the hall, and they were already figures with heads and faces in the cottage.

Zhang Yan glanced left and right and said, "Wait and go down first." ”

Zhang Yan has absolute prestige in the cottage, and they dare not disobey Zhang Yan's words, and many leaders even glanced at Yuan Liang viciously.

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Yan turned his gaze to Yuan Liang and said, "Yuan Taishou has something to say, and now he can say it." ”

Yuan Liang cautiously glanced left and right and said: "This official is a member of the Yuan family, this must be known to General Zhang, if General Zhang is willing to take refuge in Yehou, when Yehou breaks through and returns from the victory, as long as the official in front of Yehou has a few more good words for you, General Zhang will enjoy endless glory and wealth, why live a worrying life, the Jizhou army is strong, although the number of thieves in the hands of the general is large, once Yehou returns to the army, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Yan frowned, as if moved by Yuan Liang's words.

"This official is not an ordinary person when he sees General Zhang, even if he enters the Jizhou army, he will definitely be able to become a general in the army in the future, Ye Hou is a famous family, and it is not impossible to be a marquis in the future, how powerful the original Black Mountain Army was, it is still broken by Ye Hou, and the general should consider it carefully." Yuan Liang followed the good path.

When Zhang Yan heard the marquis, his eyes lit up and said: "Can Yuan Taishou's words be true, and if this general chooses to take refuge, what will be the benefits." ”

Yuan Liang smiled secretly in his heart, it was really a group of thieves, he only knew the immediate interests, as long as Zhang Yan was controlled, the rest of the things would be much simpler, but he heard about some things about Zhang Yan, and it was only a year after entering Julu County, so that the cottage had the scale it has today, although he is not good at marching and fighting, but he can see that such a huge camp, even if tens of thousands of people come to attack, it will pay a lot of price, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in Julu County, and they are at an absolute disadvantage against Zhang Yan.

Since Zhang Yan grew up in Julu County, Yuan Liang has always been on guard against the threat from Zhang Yan, and now it is an eventful time in Jizhou, and Zhang Yan's treatment of Julu County at this time will greatly involve the energy of the Jizhou army.

"If General Zhang is willing to take refuge, he can temporarily serve as the governor of Julu County." Yuan Liang said, the lieutenant is already a big military general, he believes that Zhang Yan can weigh it clearly, and as a thief, he has become a county lieutenant, which is already a great promotion.

Zhang Yan was a little moved when he heard this, "General Ben can feel Yuan Taishou's sincerity, but General Ben has a lot of brothers under his command, after General Ben goes to Julu County, what should these people do." ”

Yuan Liang said with a smile: "This matter is simple, the official promised General Zhang that he could select five hundred people as the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and as for the rest, they can be dismissed as the people, how about it?" ”

Zhang Yan seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and said in a firm tone: "The minimum is eight hundred." ”

"It's a deal." Yuan Liang was afraid that Zhang Yan would regret it, so he hurriedly agreed.

After Yuan Liang left, Zhang Yan gathered the important leaders in the cottage in one place.

Three days later, Zhang Yan led 800 elite bandits to the county town with great fanfare.

Seeing the slightly dilapidated county town of the city, the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer.

Knowing that Zhang Yan led the thieves to take refuge, Yuan Liang was overjoyed, for Yuan Liang's move to recruit Zhang Yan, the family was opposed, in their opinion, this is Yuan Liang wants to rely on the power of the thieves to fight against the family in the city, at this time there are more than 2,000 troops in the city, but the generals in the army will not obey Yuan Liang's orders, the generals in the army have received a lot of favors from the family, after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, the family surrendered, and the small actions in the secret are constant, and no one wants to give up the interests in their hands.

If this force of thieves obeys Yuan Liang's words, it will be a big threat.

The family's submission to the Yuan family is just because of Yuan Shao's huge potential, and following a promising lord can make the family's strength improve faster.

However, Yuan Liang was determined to recruit Zhang Yan, and the family could only turn a blind eye, after all, Yuan Liang was the Taishou of Julu County, and Yuan Liang was still a member of the Yuan family, so it would be no good for the family to make Yuan ** anxious.

Since Zhang Yan listened to Yuan Liang's solicitation because of interests, the family was also confident that Zhang Yan would be drawn into their camp.

Although Zhang Yan came with thieves, half of them were wearing armor and holding sharp blades, and at this point, even the defenders in Julu County looked a little shabby compared to them.

"General Zhang led people to vote, and this official is honored." Yuan Liang laughed.

Zhang Yan arched his hand and said: "Thank you Yuan Taishou for your appreciation, but now you are still a thief." ”
