The Black Mountain thieves fled in all directions, and the Han army was also scattered in pursuit, and each committed suicide and captured a lot of thieves, and after a day, Fude had already led people to chase people to twenty miles outside Hukou Pass, and at this moment, Hukou was closed, and it was also noisy.

"Yan Shuai is dead, the Han army is coming, flee! Run! ”

"Now the Han army does not have many soldiers and horses, just hold the Hukou Pass, with the danger of the Hukou Pass, the Han army will be difficult to break the city, drag it until winter, it will retreat, we do not need to withdraw."

"The Han army has no food, and we have no food, and those who stay will die, so they should be withdrawn!"

……

On the pass, the generals who were originally left behind by Zhang Yan were constantly discussing countermeasures, and with Zhang Yan's death, the departure and stay of the Montenegrin Army became something they had to face.

They talked for a long time about no one and no one obeyed anyone, and there were only two points to talk about, that is, whether they fought to the death with the Han Dynasty at Hukou Pass, or withdrew to the old nest of Montenegro, took the money they looted, and continued to go to the mountains and forests to play. Of course, in fact, there is another possibility, but it is directly ignored by everyone, that is, to kill all the way to the outside of Changzi County, take Shangdang County, and then rely on the people of Shangdang County to support, but it is obvious that Zhang Yan lost with a large army, and even died himself, how could they go deep into Changzi County?

In fact, most people suggested retreating directly, after all, the supplies of the Montenegrin army were not abundant, and they were originally preparing to maintain it by plundering the materials of the Shangdang after laying the Hukou Pass, but now that the main army has been defeated, how can they have extra materials to maintain their own guards?

It is better to take advantage of the Han army's arrival, retreat in advance, retain their strength, anyway, return to the old nest of Montenegro, draw some troops from the millions of displaced people, their strength will be restored, and then think about how to deal with the Han army, and it is not too late to avenge Zhang Yan.

"Since you don't agree, I don't force it, there are only a few dozen horsemen left to survive, and it is useless to defend the city, so I will go first." Seeing that there was no tacit understanding with everyone, a bloodstained general said to everyone, his name is Zhang Baiqi, and after speaking, he turned around and left, preparing to gather his cavalry to leave.

Zhang Bai is a native of Zhongshan, Jizhou, about twenty-eight or nine years old, seven feet nine inches long, handsome, face like a crown of jade, if put in modern times, it is a proper sunny handsome guy. He was born in poverty, a ranger in his early years, well-known in Zhongshan, and later a friend was killed by outsiders, and after he avenged his friend with a single knife, he died in Montenegro.

Because the people killed by him were people from local wealthy clans and had huge power, Zhang Mo could not return home even if he encountered an amnesty from the imperial court, so he simply stopped being good and stayed in Montenegro. And Zhang Mo is very famous in Zhongshan and Changshan, and the people who can't survive or the rangers and evil boys who commit crimes are willing to take refuge in him, and gradually become the leader of the Montenegrin army.

Moreover, Zhang Mo is also a master of art and bold, often riding a white horse, even if he marches to fight, as we all know, as a general, he should know how to protect himself and not be known by the enemy. The so-called "wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it", for the general generals, there are few white horses, because that is undoubtedly very ostentatious, easy to be remembered by the enemy, on the battlefield, the white horse is also more likely to be attacked by the general.

And those who dare to ride a white horse must be extremely confident in their own armed forces, looking at the world, Gongsun Zhan, who is now famous in northern Xinjiang, dares to ride a white horse to fight, and Pang De, a young general in the northwest, who has repeatedly made military exploits, also dares to ride a white horse, but Zhang Mo, a nameless person who has not done anything earth-shattering, also dares to ride a white horse to fight, which is really bold.

Because most of the Montenegrin thieves are from civilian backgrounds, there are many people who have no words, and it is rude to call each other's names, so they call each other by name. And Zhang Mo is often riding a white horse, and is also directly called "Zhang Bai Ride" by the Black Mountain thieves, and over time, everyone calls him Zhang Bai Riding and forgets his real name.

Of course, Zhang Baiqi dared to fight on a white horse, naturally he was not a coward, and the reason why he chose to leave without a fight was naturally because he had no soldiers. Because he is good at horses, and Zhang Yan's henchman, so in addition to commanding the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, he also helped Zhang Yan to take charge of the cavalry, but the battle a day ago, not only most of the cavalry was killed, but he could only flee in embarrassment, that is, he was a foot soldier, and because he couldn't run those Han horses, he didn't catch up with Zhang Baiqi at all, and now, there are less than 100 horsemen who fled back with Zhang Baicai.

"Zhang Baiqi, you can decide, do you really want to go?" Seeing Zhang Baiqi leave the meeting without hesitation, one person shouted, his name is Tao Sheng, and he is also one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Bandit Army.

"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Baiqi glanced back at Tao Sheng, and replied sharply, Zhang Yan is dead, the internal division of the Black Mountain Army is about to collapse, Zhang Baiqi himself is also ready to return to the old nest to integrate the forces quickly, if he dies here, wouldn't the people and horses of the old nest make wedding dresses for others?

As Zhang Baiqi said this, other people who knew that Zhang Yan had already thought after his death also shouted: "Just go!" After speaking, two more people got up, they were Guo Daxian and Yu Yigen, who were also the big leaders in the Black Mountain Army, and the rest were those who did not want to leave and remained neutral, that is, Tao Sheng, Zuo Xiao, and Liu Shi who were sent by Zhang Yan to stay at Hukou Pass.

"Then don't blame someone for being ruthless!"

Tao Sheng saw that the other three people were leaving like this, and he was immediately furious, and Guo Daxian, who was near him, suddenly felt a wind rise in the back of his head, and the back of his neck suddenly cooled, and then he felt as if he was flying into the sky.

Until he lost consciousness, Guo Daxian seemed to suddenly understand why Tao Sheng insisted on staying at Hukou Pass, they didn't want to be locked up at all, but knew that Zhang Yan's main force of the Black Mountain Army was defeated, and they had already premeditated the pass, and if they didn't comply, it would become another credit for them......

As the head fell to the ground, Tao Sheng lowered his head and wiped the blood on the knife, his expression calm, as if he was not killing the big leader of the Black Mountain Army, but an ordinary cat and dog.

Zhang Baiqi and Yu Yigen were both shocked, and they saw that Yu Yigen, who was closest to him, was furious and pointed out: "Tao Sheng, you actually dare to kill your peers, I want to kill ...... ......"However, Yu Yigen was just about to draw the knife, and in the next moment, he saw a ring-headed knife coming out of his chest, dripping with bright red and delicate blood.

Yu Yigen turned his head with difficulty, gritted his teeth and said, "Colonel Zuo, child...... Pediatric ......"

"Die! The general trend is in Han, Yan Shuai is dead, and you still want to go back to Montenegro? Colonel Zuo sneered, took a dagger again, inserted it into its mouth, and completely cut off Yu Gengen's life.

Zhang Baiqi in the distance reacted at this time, and just wanted to turn around and speed away, but as soon as he took a step, four soldiers suddenly appeared beside him, all of them were strong men, and they stepped forward together, and instantly tied him up, obviously this was a premeditated ambush.

"Colonel Zuo, Tao Sheng, why are you like this?" Zhang Baiqi shouted in confusion, he didn't understand that these two people, who usually had a good relationship with him and were also the main force of Montenegro, why did they do this?

"Why?" Tao Sheng muttered at the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Zhang Baiqi, you still don't understand it?" I don't know, why did Zhang Yan send us and Liu Shi to stay here? ”

After saying that, Zhang Bai rode like an empowerment and woke up: "I see! I see! It seems that if it weren't for the closeness between me and the two, I would have died today! ”

"Naturally!" Tao Sheng did not hesitate to reply, he and Colonel Zuo were both preparing to discuss rebellion when the Montenegrin Army was preparing to take advantage of the rebellion of Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Tu Ge, and the Southern Huns in the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty.

As for Liu Shi, who remained neutral, why he rebelled against Tao Sheng and others, just listen to his surname, he is a serious Han family relative, the youngest son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, a descendant of Liu Shun, the king of Changshan, and lives in Changshan Zhending. Like Liu Bei, Liu Shi is also a broken household, even worse than Liu Bei, counting from him up, no one has come out to be an official for four consecutive generations, and he and Zhang Yannai are fellow villagers, it is said that fellow villagers are generally very close, such as Tao Sheng and Zuo Xiao, it is because of their fellow villagers that they trust each other. However, for Liu Shi, no matter how declining his family background is, it is also a serious Han family member, once the Montenegrin army is not in a good situation, it is not impossible to surrender, so he has always been jealous of Zhang Yan and has repeatedly suppressed his people.

Originally, no matter how these three people were, Zhang Yan should not have sent them to stay at Hukou Pass to ensure the way back. It's just that now in Zhang Yan's situation, he sent Tao Sheng, Zuo Xiao and Liu Shi to stay in the rear, but it was because the 5,000 soldiers at Hukou Pass were all Zhang Yan's people, and their own original subordinates had already been consumed by Zhang Yan when attacking Hukou Pass.

Zhang Yan is not afraid that the three of them will surrender and cut off their own back road, because their soldiers will not listen to them, and they can consume the three people, and at the same time, they can also reduce the materials looted by the three people, curb their forces, and weaken the forces that do not deal with them with themselves with this soft knife method little by little.

According to the normal development of the situation, Tao Sheng and the three of them can only stay in the back with peace of mind, and once there is any change, they will definitely be solved on the spot by the five thousand soldiers left by Zhang Yan. It's just that the news from yesterday's defeat made them find an opportunity, Zhang Yan died, and the five thousand soldiers at Hukou Pass were leaderless, and immediately, Tao Sheng contacted the other two, mainly using their remaining wounded soldiers, and because of the situation, he contacted several small leaders of the five thousand soldiers privately, saying that the Han army was powerful, and only by offering the pass could he live, and finally after clearing out hundreds of diehards, he completely controlled this army of soldiers and horses.

I never thought that today, Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian, and Yu Yigen fled back with hundreds of defeated soldiers, and suddenly let Tao Sheng plan and simply exchange these three people for their greater wealth, which is what happened just now. Of course, Zhang Baiqi is friendly to them on weekdays, so they don't want to harm this person, they just want to be tied up, but Guo Daxian and Yu Yigen are different, these two often don't deal with them, so Tao Sheng and Zuo Xiao did not hesitate to kill the two.

The spout of the pot was closed, the autumn wind was wheezing, Tao Sheng used the clothes of Guo Daxian's corpse to wipe the knife clean, and then put it back into the sheath. He is of medium stature, his face is unremarkable, but because of his knowledge, there is an air of elegance on his body, most of the black mountain thieves are rough men who don't know a single big character, and they have special respect for their people, at this time, Tao Sheng's eyes are looking at the west side of Hukou Pass, and he is waiting for the banner of the Han army.

At this moment, for Tao Sheng, it was too long to wait, from beginning to end, he never thought about being a thief, but everything was fateful. He is a yellow man in Wei County, born in poverty, if he is not a little talented, he was favored by the county order, recruited as a county official, and entered the official career, I am afraid that he can only farm.

It's just that in an accident, Tao Sheng offended the magnates in the county, his family has power in the state and county, the other party refuses to go around him, there is no other way, Tao Sheng can only die, and finally fall into Kou Montenegro. This is also the reason why Zhang Yan led his troops to surrender to the Han Dynasty later, and Tao Sheng was happy, because of this, when the imperial court completely accepted the Black Mountain Army, he could return to his hometown, but he didn't expect that it would not be long before he rebelled again, which really disappointed Tao Sheng, and it was precisely because of this that he planned this dedication.

"General Tao, how can you ...... at the moment" Colonel Zuo strode up and said, he was about thirty years old, tall and strong, with a narrow face and a beard around his face, he was originally a famous ranger in Wei County, and Tao Sheng's fellow townsman, and he had always been the only one who was the head of the horse, and he didn't even call him a nickname, only with the general's words.

"The word 'general' will not be mentioned in the future." Tao Sheng shook his head and refused, he joined the Black Mountain Thieves, calling himself "General Pinghan", and now he wants to return to Han, so naturally he can't use this name anymore.

"Look! Han Army! Han Army ......"

Suddenly, there was a shouting from inside the Hukou Pass, which immediately attracted Tao Sheng's attention, and when he saw the banner of the Han army in the distance, a smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, Tao Sheng looked at Liu Shi who was not far away and said, "Next, it's up to Brother Liu." ”

Liu Shi is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, more than seven feet long, and in terms of genes, he is definitely the gene of Junlangjun. He was born with big ears, eyes like black paint, bright and bright, in the end, he is also a descendant of Liu Han, in terms of appearance, Tao Sheng is 108,000 miles away from him, like a pheasant compared to a crane, but when it comes to power and wisdom, it is really far behind.

Otherwise, if the strength is powerful, with Liu Shi's unique identity, if it is really properly promoted, it means that there are a bunch of bandits around Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the former Han Dynasty, who want to follow him, eager to build a dragon gong. Where will it be like now, limited by Zhang Yan's suspicion, he is silent, for fear of when he will be swallowed by Zhang Yan.

Hearing this, Liu Shi nodded, and then went down to the city, rode out of the customs alone, and went straight to the Han army camp.

A few moments later, Fude received the news that the Hukou Pass guard would offer the pass, and he couldn't believe it at all, thinking that the other party was swindling. If it weren't for the other party reporting his identity as a relative of the Han family, in a sense, it was still his relative's reason, and Fu De would have been ready to cut Liu Shi directly.

It wasn't until later, Tao Sheng and others led their troops out of the customs and abandoned their weapons to meet them, that Fu De believed that after knowing that the three people and the captive Zhang Baiqi had not been harming the directors along the road, they immediately incorporated the three soldiers and horses, and then untied Zhang Baiqi, and induced him to surrender with words.

This battle has come to an end since then, and the rest is Fude to send troops to capture the scattered Black Mountain bandits one by one, except for the thieves who entered the Taihang Mountains early, the rest of the people are not left.

In the third year of Zhongping, in the autumn, the Black Mountain thieves rebelled, and the thief Zhonglang broke Fu De in the upper party, beheaded the thief Zhang Yan, and the remaining thieves were shocked, and did not dare to fight again.

The guests of the conference were in Bo Luojin. Hearing that the Wei County soldiers rebelled, they overthrew Yecheng with tens of thousands of people including the Black Mountain thief Yu Poison and killed the county guard. Those who sit in the Hakka are all frightened, or crying, and they look at ease and do not dare to be constant. The thieves have Tao Sheng, who calls himself "General Pinghan", and opposes the thieves alone, and enters the west city alone, closes the door of the house, has a heavy car, and carries the Shao's family and all the clothes in the state, and guards themselves and sends them to the rebuke. Shao also, because of the Tun rebuke the hill, to Tao Sheng as the general of Jianyi. Excerpt from "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" Tao Shengqi, according to history, is really unwilling to be a thief for the rest of his life
