Zhang Yan and the others all lowered their heads, ashamed and angry, and didn't dare to look at everything around them. But they knew that their time was running out, and Qin Ye would definitely not let go of these people.

For a while, my heart was full of nostalgia for life.

Is there still a choice?

Without.

Want to live?

Think.

Regret it?

Definitely.

Do it all over again.

Be sure to dig two more steps forward.

Zhang Yan and the others cried, regretting that they didn't dig two more steps, if they dug two more steps, now the prisoner under the steps must be Qin Ye's.

But they didn't know that even if they dug ten more steps, the prisoners under the stairs would inevitably be them. If they knew, they would vomit blood again.

The greatest sorrow in the world is to pit a person, and in the last two steps, he fell into the pit.

Qin Ye came to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan looked at him coldly, this person is going to kill him, "If you want to kill, you have to kill him, listen to it." Zhang Yan was not afraid.

Zheng Gu and other leaders glared at Qin Ye angrily, although they regretted it, they were by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. If you are afraid of death, you can't be a bandit.

"You can go." Qin Ye said peacefully.

Everyone simply couldn't believe their ears.

Xun You and the others glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to figure out their intentions at the moment, thinking that the lord must have made other arrangements.

The soldiers loosened their ties.

Zhang Yan and others still can't believe that this is true.

They looked over.

If Qin Ye wanted them to surrender the first time, then letting them go this time shows that this person is open-minded.

The bandits are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions, and their eyes gradually hide their admiration.

Zhang Yan hugged her fists and saluted, "This is a grace, I, Zhang Yan, will never forget it." ”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zheng Gu and the others saluted and followed.

Xun Yu asked puzzled.

Qin Ye looked at Zhang Yan who was going away, "If you kill Zhang Yan, Zhao Yan and Wang Yan will appear." Zhang Yan is a person with brains and a certain amount of righteousness. If he dies, there will never be a better Montenegrin commander than him, which will be detrimental to us. ”

"It is better to be gracious to him."

Sima Yi said: "I'm afraid that he doesn't understand kindness and will attack again." ”

Qin Ye smiled slightly, "Our army is based on the general trend of the territory, and we are not afraid of him." If he dares to come, it will be easy to kill him. ”

And it's not far away.

The bandits caught Zhang Yan and them.

"Dashuai, do you still want to fight?" He asked.

Zhang Yan looked at the pass, "We were released twice, and if we beat again, what face do we have?" Let's hold off for a moment. ”

The leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

So, two days later.

Zhang Yan personally came to Baibu to meet Qin Ye.

The Montenegrin Army recognized Qin Ye's status in the Taihang Mountain region and hoped to live in peace with Qin Ye.

You must know that Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army originated from the Yellow Turban, and it is a mortal enemy of the imperial court and princes, and Qin Ye is also a mortal enemy.

100,000 Black Mountain, rampant for many years, the surrounding princes are afraid. In later generations, when Yuan Shao invaded the four states, he was also wooed. Cao Cao swept the north, which was also a conquest.

It can be seen that the Montenegrin army is strong in Taihang.

At this moment, the Black Mountain Army recognized Qin Ye's status, not because he was afraid of war, but because he was subdued by Qin Ye.

The two sides agreed to coexist peacefully.

As a result, after several battles, Qin Ye could finally develop his base with peace of mind.

On the other hand.

With the battle between Qin Ye and the Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains, Gongsun Zhan took the opportunity to advance his forces to Changshan County.

In fact, at this time, Gongsun Chan had already controlled two-thirds of Jizhou.

The remaining one-third is in the hands of Qin Ye and Han Fu.

At this moment, Gongsun Zhan is across the two states of Youji, and he is already the overlord of the north.

He had already hated Qin Ye to the bone, and now his jokes were spread all over the world. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses died, and they seized an empty warehouse, and they all laughed off their big teeth.

Lingshou County, Changshan County.

Gongsun Zhan's troops won a big victory, and they wanted to encircle and suppress Qin Ye.

In the council room, everyone was asked for their opinions.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he said, "Xuande, what do you have to say?" ”

Liu Bei was actually full of resentment.

He followed Gongsun Zhan to the east and west, thinking that after seizing Qin Ye's money and grain, he would be able to get a piece of the pie.

Who knew that when I opened the storeroom, Nima was empty.

Vile!

His sister yelled.

Now Liu Bei only has more than 1,000 remnants left in his hands, and the money and food are all relieved by Gongsun Zhan.

However, Liu Bei remembered his ancestor Liu Bang.

He knew that the ancestors were inferior to him at that time, and they all relied on forbearance.

So Liu Bei calmed down and said, "Ming Gong, now there is a famine in the north. Now is the time to govern the place and pacify the people. Before, the war was fed by war, and there was the Montenegrin army to cover it. Now that the Montenegrin army has retreated, if it doesn't care about the lives of the people, it is afraid that it will lose its trust in the world. ”

People who want to achieve the great cause of the king will not do things that are untrustworthy to the world.

Gongsun Zhan understood this truth and looked very grateful, "If it weren't for Xuande, I would have made a big mistake." Xuande can go back, govern Pingyuan County, and subdue the Hedong region as soon as possible. ”

Gongsun Zhan generously handed over Pingyuan County to Liu Bei, and also laid out a policy, that is, to subdue the area east of the Yellow River that belongs to the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County. In this way, Qingzhou Jinan and Yanzhou East County will all be under the front of Gongsun Zhan's troops.

Liu Bei was happy in his heart, you must know that although he was stationed in Pingyuan County, the seat of Pingyuan County, he only had the power in this one county. And now, Gongsun Chan has given him the entire plain county.

I felt that it was not in vain to study Gaozu.

Liu Bei left happily.

Guan Jing immediately said, "My lord, Pingyuan County overlooks Yanzhou and Qingzhou, strategic places, and should not be given to Liu Bei." Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, and he is afraid that the tail will not fall, does the lord not remember Xiang Yu and Pei Gong? ”

Gongsun Zhan said proudly: "How can I do Xiang Yu's thing, but Xiang Yu has also been crowned Pei Gong, I just use Liu Bei'er." ”

Guan Jing saw that Gongsun Zhan had such an idea for a long time, so he didn't say anything, but admired it very much. After all, Liu Bei is capable, such a pioneer is a pawn, and it is rare.

……

Qin Ye's rumors are circulating all over the world.

The news soon reached Yuan Shao.

Since Yuan Xi and Xu You came back, Yuan Shao vomited blood. He asked his son to collect grain, and in the end, he sold all the pots to Qin Ye. If it weren't for the money he brought back, Yuan Shao might have eaten the tiger poison.

But what's the point of bringing money back?

Can it be eaten as a meal?

Now there is a famine in the Northland, and there is no money to buy food. In the case of not having enough to eat, money is decoration. The current situation is that food is more expensive than money.

Without food, no matter how rich Yuan Shao was, he couldn't expand his army, and seeing that Jizhou was in chaos, there was no food to send troops.

Yuan Shao was angry, so he imprisoned Yuan Xi, and sent Xu Yu to a dark corner.

I heard that Qin Ye had a place to stand on his feet. Yuan Shao was taken aback and hurriedly asked where it was.

"In the mountains." Guo Tu smiled.

"In the mountains?" After Yuan Shao learned the details, he laughed and said to Wenwu: "It's really worthy of Qin Mengjie, a good place to choose." ”

In Yuan Shao's opinion, the place Qin Ye chose was really ridiculous. Everyone else chooses a big city, but he just drills into the ravine, and there is no future. And Yuan Shao, who owned the northern part of the state and the division, looked down on Qin Ye at all. "I'm afraid that within a year or two, it will be destroyed by Gongsun Zhan."

When Yuan Shao said this, his face became gloomy. He also didn't expect that Gongsun Chan would develop. Originally, he was supposed to develop in Jizhou.

Fortunately, now his territory is not small.

In fact, Yuan Shao was quite depressed, and originally planned that after Yuan Xi's grain was recovered, he would make military moves. And now, although there is no large-scale locust plague under his rule, he needs to recuperate for a long time.

On the other hand.

The news that Qin Ye had established a base in the mountains reached Yecheng.

Han Fu smiled shamefully and gave a four-word evaluation, "Sit back and wait to starve to death." ”

In fact, if people really can't understand Qin Ye's strategy today, great strategists like Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia are also scratching their heads.

In fact, they also somewhat understood that because Qin Ye had just risen, he would definitely not be able to compete with the old princes for the city.

But what I don't understand is that you can't drill into the mountain, it's not self-defeating, breaking the jar.
