Under the evening sunshine, the turbidity of the Zhanghe River is red and purple, the water surface has soaked white corpses sinking and floating, there are vultures crying in mid-air, and the black wings pierce the sky, falling in groups, competing to eat the stumps and broken arms on the ground.

At this time, an army was slowly moving north along the Zhuozhang River, untidy in armor, gray and dirty, as if it was a defeated army, the banner of the Chinese army was pierced into a big hole, and only half of the word 'Zhang' was left, as if it was cut in half.

Zhang Yan was napping on horseback, but the war horse suddenly sneezed, and the horse's hooves were stunned, and he woke up coldly.

In an instant, the cold moonlight pierced his eyes, and he avoided his face, but when he saw the Chinese army flag that was so broken that he couldn't bear to look at it directly, a sadness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Since Zhang Jiao's defeat and killing, he relied on his eloquence and vision to lobby other Yellow Turban forces, and in less than three years, the number of troops has grown to hundreds of thousands, and his influence is all over Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and Hanoi, and even the imperial court does not dare to ignore his existence.

After years of conquest, the imperial court was unable to encircle and suppress, so Zhang Yan sent an envoy to Luoyang to ask for surrender.

The late Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed him as the general of the Ping Nan Zhonglang, so that he could manage the administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous areas north of the Yellow River, and could recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and sent officials to Luoyang to report.

Nowadays, if people want to be officials, they must be filial piety and honesty, and the officials are officials, which is an important way for people to enter the official career.

Zhang Yan is not willing to be a traitor all the time, if you want to really enter the class of scholars, you not only need to give gifts to the court magnates, bend the knee to all kinds of heroes, but more importantly, to obtain personnel immunity, you can recommend filial piety and officials, so that those people will be grateful to Dade for following him, and they can also get the court's approval of the court's official documents.

In this way, he naturally has a certain place in the hearts of Haoqiang in the Youhe area.

Therefore, there are two reasons for the rebellion of the family, one is that many children of the scholar clan were excluded from the center of power by Lu Bu; As long as Zhang Yan joins the party, their children can be filial piety and become officials.

And Zhang Yan himself also needs to be recognized by the family, once he occupies the party and does what the family wants, he believes that in the near future, the Zhang family will be able to be like the Wang family.

Zhang Yan and the Shangdang family each took what they needed and used each other, so Lu Bu had just sent troops to Luoyang, and the Shangdang family couldn't wait to cater to Zhang Yan.

But what is unexpected is that Lu Bu's return to help is so fast, I thought that my side was overwhelming, and a battle could be decided, but I never thought that the Turbidity River would be defeated in a fiasco, if it wasn't for Zuo Zhangzhang's rescue, he Zhang Yan might have been exposed to the wilderness.

In the night, a group of people stumbled over, and Zuo Zhangba and Zhang Yan's personal guards immediately blocked in front of Zhang Yan and protected him tightly.

The figures were sufficient, and then the moonlight, Zhang Yan finally saw the outfit of this group of people, and asked, "Which part of you are?" ”

This group of people retreated from the defeat of the eldest son city, and when they saw Zhang Yan, they cried heartbreakingly, and one of them reported: "Boss Qiqi, we are under Zhang Qushuai's account." ”

"Zhang Damu?" Zhang Yan was cold, and her lips were trembling: "Where is Zhang Qushuai?" Where is Yu Qushuai? Where is the firstborn? ”

"Zhang Qushuai and Yu Qushuai have died in battle, and the eldest son has been lost."

Buzz buzz buzz ~

Zhang Yan's head seemed to have hundreds of millions of flies flapping their wings, and the pain was so painful that he was heartbroken, and before he could get better, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of him.

When the knight saw Zhang Yan in the army, he immediately jumped off the saddle and presented a letter with both hands: "Qi Yu Qu Shuai, Gao Shun, the general under Lu Bu's account, led the troops from Hedong to occupy Yang'a and Gaodu, and rejected antlers, erected fences, and set up camps along the line to block the southern retreat of Tianjing Pass." ”

"Duan?" Zhang Yan's eyes were full of urgency.

If the Duan clan is still in the hands of the Black Mountain Army, then they can retreat west to the Baibo Valley and enter the east of the river, where they will regroup their troops and horses and fight against Lu Bu.

But the next words of the sentry cavalry shattered all his hopes, and he only heard the sentry cavalry say: "The Duan clan has been occupied by Zhang Yang, the general under Lu Bu's account, and Zhang Bai rode Qu Shuai and Liu Shiqu Shuai to join forces, and the garrison commander Ping Ting." ”

"Where did you say the troops were stationed?" Zhang Yan's whole body was trembling rapidly.

"Chohei Pavilion!"

As soon as Zhang Yan heard the name of this place, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground.

Zuo Zhangba hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was overly sad and angry, and was angry: "Hurry, go quickly, go to Changping, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Zuo Zhangba knew what Zhang Yan was worried about, Changping was surrounded by high mountains, and there was only one river valley with a long wall leading directly to Hyun City, once the army was surrounded, the outcome would be the same as that of the Zhao army back then.

"Zhang Baiqi and Liu Shi, these two pustules!" Zuo Zhangba scolded angrily, and hurriedly helped Zhang Yan into the saddle, and a group of people and horses rushed towards Changping without unloading the saddle.

At the same time, Lu Bu, who was ten miles away, received an urgent report from Gao Shun at the same time, and after reading the contents, he turned his head to look at Wang Jun: "Could it be that there is another battle of Changping?" ”

Wang Jun took the urgent report, and his eyes fell on the last few lines: "The enemy Zhang Baiqi and Liu Shi led the remnants of the enemy to retreat to Changping, stubbornly waiting for help, and sent Xianzhi if he did not make a decision." ”

"Since it's already blocked in Changping, why don't you encircle and annihilate it on the spot?" Cao Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Gao Shuda uses soldiers, how can you speculate, Zhang Baiqi and Liu Shi are only a part of Montenegro, if you want to completely annihilate the remnants of the party, you must lure the enemy to go, surround and annihilate it, hum, the crossbow of Qianjun, how can it be a mole rat, a turtle is an urn, how can you catch a turtle in the urn?"

Cao Xing knew that Cheng Lian was laughing at himself again, and he tried his best to argue: "The Black Mountain Army is not a fool, how can it lead the troops to save it?" ”

"I don't know if others will go, but Zhang Yan, as the leader of the Black Mountain Army, will definitely go."

"Zifei Zhang Yan, know his whereabouts?"

"The son is not me, and I don't know his whereabouts?"

Hearing the constant noise between the two of them, Lu Bu frowned: "Shut up!" ”

The two glared at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away from each other.

Lu Bu shook his head helplessly, turned his head and asked Wang Jun: "What does Ziwen think?" ”

"Can't you let Zhang Yan escape from the party?"

Zhang Yan sent troops to the party this time, bringing only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops flowing in the continuous Taihang Mountains.

Lu Bu nodded, and immediately raised his halberd: "Order, the soldiers do not take off their armor, the horses do not take off the saddle, and the Montenegrin army must be wiped out into the territory of the party, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

"Yes!"

The generals were ordered to leave, and then the state army quickly lined up, lined up into a long snake, and carried out carpet rope along the valley of the Zhuozhang River, gradually approaching Changping.
