The rain is getting lighter, the shore west of Qishui, the simple camp surrounded by fences, the crackling and burning bonfire reflects several faces, the surrounding wolf riders temporarily rested, and the group of Montenegrin troops temporarily squeezed into a tent, and the sound buzzed.

Before, speaking of Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, Gongsun Zhi had never been here in modern times, but had only visited Lugut Mountain about a Yellow Turban leader named Yu Poison, and then indirectly learned about this large peasant rebel army, as well as the leader Zhang Yan.

But at this moment, he was a little surprised that they were already the army of the imperial court, and Zhang Yan was also named the general of the Ping Yan Zhonglang, and there were many people in Jizhou Montenegro. Over there, Zuo Zhangba's humming words paused, and he looked at him: "Leader Gongsun, just join us, we have hundreds of thousands of people up and down the mountain, and maybe we can mix with big officials in the future, it's better than blowing the wind on the grassland and fighting with those barbarians." ”

"Old eight, don't blow it, everyone is out of the yellow scarf, how many of the hundreds of thousands can fight, I don't know? Otherwise, why would you still be huddled in a few mountains and not go out? ”

At the other end, half of the man with a long beard lowered his head: "Just tens of thousands ....." Then he raised it again, "That's not our few horses, if there are horses, our Montenegrin army can also go out of the mountain." ”

Gongsun Zhi's eyes narrowed, and he stared at him like a wolf: "That's why you want me to join the Black Mountain Army?" ”

"Uh...... This..."

The big man was not good at words, he hurriedly picked at his dirty bun, thought for a while, and after really couldn't speak, he simply said: "Gongsun Chief, your brothers have come all the way here, and they are tired enough, it is better to rest here for a day or two before leaving, I will inform the big leader to come over, and he will patrol the nearby Qi County." ”

"That's fine." Gongsun Zhi would not be polite to him, and when Gao Sheng pulled the big man to walk away, he also got into the tent and slept in his clothes, but in the sound of rain, it was not so easy to fall asleep.

Coming all the way south from Niuyin Mountain, avoiding Huguan and Shangdang County, he actually came here in a daze, but it just so happened that he also wanted to meet this legendary leader of the Black Mountain Army in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, of course, to gather other people's ideas, since he was chased and killed by Lu Bu, it is difficult to mention, after all, this Zhang Yan is also a hero who controls the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, and when the time comes, the momentum must not be suppressed by the other party.

He clenched his fists.

Time gradually passed two days, Zhang Yan did not appear, which made Gongsun Zhi a little regretful, and finally prepared to set off, on the hill in the afternoon, the sound of horses' hooves came from the rear, and the number of horses from afar rushed to this side, facing the number of people on the other side, the eight hundred wolves rode down and were not nervous, just vigilantly watched the figure gallop to come, and then turned over and dismounted and approached.

"The leader of Gongsun walked in the wrong way, why did he go so quickly."

The figure of the voice, wearing armor and a square scarf on his head, is not tall and mighty, on the contrary, he is a little thin, and his face is ordinary, but the ruthlessness in his eyes made Gongsun Zhi nod, and he replied: "The road is far away, so naturally you have to hurry up, the big leader is not busy?" ”

"It's done!" The other side also replied bluntly, and then came over and made a gesture of please, "Leader Gongsun and I will walk on this hill." ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded, and then walked in front with him, the wolf rider behind him and several black mountain guards left behind, and the two walked silently for a while, and someone spoke first.

"Is the leader of Gongsun the Gongsun family of Youbeiping, or the Gongsun family of Liaodong?"

Gongsun Zhi did not answer, his eyes looked at the undulating mountains, and his tone was low: "The soldiers and the people are hidden in the mountains, is the big leader going to learn Goujian?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Yan also followed his gaze to look at the mountains, his gaze swept there, and he took a deep breath: "...... A certain original surname was Chu, but he changed his surname only after sitting in the position of the big leader...... But the things inside are not important, today I rushed to meet the leader of the Gongsun, just to hope that the leader can sell some horses or cattle and sheep to us. ”

When the figure in the big coat next to him looked over, he raised his head and exhaled, and continued: "I have taken my brothers to do the robber trade since I was a teenager, robbing everyone, killing everyone, until I met the previous leader, when this burden was handed over to me, Zhang did not know what responsibility is, hundreds of thousands of eyes stared at you hungrily that year, hundreds of thousands of mouths towards what you want to eat, children and women cried hungryly, and the wild things in the mountains were eaten as much as they could, and people ate people and ate tens of thousands of ...... I believe that the leader of Gongsun has never seen that scene, so I can only take them to suffer and struggle in this mountain......"

"With my little people, I can't plunder more cattle, sheep and horses from Xianbei and Xiongnu, and hundreds of thousands of people are simply a bottomless pit." Gongsun didn't even think about refusing directly.

The wind blew through the foothills of the evening, and the square scarf on his head was rolled, Zhang Yan looked at the man who was much younger than him, and arched his hand: "We can domesticate and breed cattle and sheep by ourselves, and one day we will be able to ensure the needs of hundreds of thousands of people in this big mountain." Besides, there is iron and copper in the mountains, and there are also craftsmen, if the leader agrees to build weapons and armor, my Montenegrin army will bear all of them. ”

"Then why doesn't the big boss just sell these things?"

Zhang Yan shook his head: "I have accepted the reward from the imperial court, that is, I have an official position, if it is a major crime of rebellion to make weapons privately, wouldn't the people in this mountain be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court again?" ”

In fact, Gongsun Zhi could see that the big leader of the Montenegrin army had a heavy and unspeakable suffering, and after a moment of silence, he had an immature idea, or said: "Has the big leader thought about moving the people here?" For example, on the grassland, where the territory is vast and the land is fertile, I can thrive wherever I go, why not go to the north? ”

"Can't ......" Zhang Yan shook her head, smiled helplessly, and looked at the distant mountain: "...... That's the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, how many people will die on the way, and how much rations will be given for the long journey, is it still like the time of the yellow scarf, eating all the way? I know best how many people will die, so Zhang Yan doesn't dare to take this risk. ”

Gongsun Zhi turned his head to look at him again, and his tone was a little more intense, "If you don't move, will you just wait for someone to come to your rescue?" ”

"That's my responsibility."

The sound rang out over the hill.

Gongsun Zhi, who was standing in place, looked at the other party silently for a while, then nodded and turned his gaze away, turned over his horse, and pulled the reins, "If I can come back from Luoyang this time, our deal will be reached." ”

"Wait for the good news!" Zhang Yan gave up.

The wind blew through the big air, and when Gongsun Zhi rode his horse a few steps, he turned around and asked, "You and Gongsun Chan are old?" ”

"Yes, he mentioned you in his letter." Answer truthfully.

Here, the figure on horseback nodded, and then galloped out with a horse's belly, and the eight hundred wolves around galloped behind with a roar, until the figure behind gradually turned into a black dot and could no longer be seen.

Gao Sheng caught up from behind, "Chief, we don't have enough dry food with us. ”

On the back of the galloping horse, Gongsun stopped raising his whip: "What are we?" From here down is Shanyang, to the southwest is Heyang, this road is so big, we are horse thieves should rob it, don't learn their mercy, then you will be hungry. ”

"Yes—" The crowd yelled.

The horses' hooves rumbled like thunder across the earth, and then went away.
