Chu Yan bowed his hand and said: "My Montenegrin army will not vote for Jiang, but not for Han, in the future, my department is willing to send it for the general!" ”

"Huh? Chu Yan, what do you mean? Want to trap me in injustice? ”

"The lord is above, please bow to Chu Yan! Chu Yan is willing to pawn the main stallion in this life! Chu Yan got up and knelt down and bowed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Chu Yan! This general is the general of the Han court, and the Montenegrin army should be recruited by the imperial court, as for you, you should serve the imperial court and appease the various departments of Jizhou and Montenegro. ”

"The general is the general of the Han Dynasty, and he is the general's servant below, and he has no other intentions!"

"In that case, Ben will allow you to follow left and right! At present, the top priority is to exterminate Zhang Baiqi! Do you dare to fight? ”

"I wish to be a pioneer!" Chu Yan said.

In August of the second year of Zhongping, the Chu Yan Department of the Black Mountain Army accepted Zhao'an, and a few days later, Emperor Ling's edict arrived at the official army camp of Gantao.

Bai Chu Yan is a general in the middle of the peace, responsible for the security and administrative tasks of the mountainous areas north of the river (i.e., the Yellow River), and can recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year.

Jiang Sheng, the general of Kou, won the battle in a row, recruited the Chu Yan Department, and made great contributions, and worshiped as the general of Pingyu Zhonglang (four products).

I also heard that the Yellow Turban remnant Zhang Bai's cavalry was rampant in the township, and Jiang Sheng was ordered to supervise the military affairs of Jizhou, and Chu Yan's department was controlled by Jiang Sheng.

After Chu Yan saw the edict, he had no intention of taking office, so he said to Jiang Sheng: "Chu Yan would rather follow the lord to conquer the world than be a general." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Although the situation in the mountainous area of Jizhou is complicated, it is suitable for expanding strength and training and preparing for war. If you hold this position, you will be able to prepare your arms for war in the name of righteousness, and you can help me in the future. ”

"In that case, my subordinates must obey the orders of the lord. In the future, when the time is ripe, it will be under the command of the Lord. Chu Yan said.

"Well, that's exactly what I meant. However, for now, we still try to solve Zhang Baiqi first. ”

After Chu Yan accepted Zhao'an, not only was he not excluded, but also became a military attache of the imperial court, which made many Montenegrin soldiers envious.

Jiang Sheng let people spread remarks everywhere and spread the case of Chu Yan everywhere, and some leaders of the Montenegrin Army were a little tempted.

Chu Yan is responsible for the administrative management and public security affairs in the mountainous area of Jizhou, the main task is to appease all kinds of black mountain thieves, under the temptation of Zhao'an treatment, some small groups of black mountain thieves took the initiative to surrender to Chu Yan, and some ******** teams that were originally attached to Zhang Baiqi also changed their banners and threw themselves under Chu Yan.

In just one month, Chu Yan's army reached 70,000, and Jiang Sheng's official army also accepted the submission of more than 20,000 Black Mountain thieves. In mid-September, Jiang Sheng's direct command of troops reached 120,000, and Zhang Baiqi's army of 100,000 was not a big number.

Jiang Sheng ordered Chu Yan to march 40,000 troops into Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Julu County, and the main task was to prevent Zhang Baiqi from continuing to advance westward or southward, open up the roads between cities and the vast areas between cities, and squeeze the activity space of Zhang Baicai's troops.

Based in Handan, the trial dispatched materials to fully support Chu Yan's combat operations.

On the eastern front, Anpingguo, Hejian State, and Bohai County were led by Jiang Sheng to be in charge, and the main task was to search for and suppress all kinds of soldiers and horses subordinate to Zhang Baicai, and to find an opportunity to attack Zhang Baicai's main force and its base camp.

Zhang Baiqi did not eat well and slept well during this time, and the various Montenegrin armies that were originally attached to him broke away from the camp and threw themselves into the official army.

The most troublesome thing for Zhang Baiqi was that the forward troops that originally attacked Julu County were repeatedly frustrated, and under the attack of Chu Yanjun and the official army, most of them directly surrendered to Chu Yan with the entire battalion.

Except for a few who resisted stubbornly and were wiped out, most of the Black Mountain Army in Changshan Country was incorporated and reorganized by Chu Yan, and it took less than a month to pacify Changshan Kingdom.

Zhou Cang has been regarded as a Montenegrin thief for the second time, and the bandit leader Zhou Cang is the leader of a very strong party, and the small group of Montenegrin troops around him dare not provoke him, Chu Yanding Changshan must be looking for Zhou Cang's bad luck.

Chu Yan personally led 20,000 elites to attack Zhoucang Cottage, Zhou Cang had heard of Chu Yan's good fighting, but he didn't expect to personally lead the elite army to attack. The last time Yu Yigen attacked, he lost because he didn't know the enemy's situation and attacked rashly, but Chu Yan was bound to win this time.

"Zilong, Chu Yan is coming, I'm afraid it's more than lucky!" Zhou Cang said worriedly.

"If Chu Yan forcibly attacked, we would only take advantage of the night to go down the mountain from the cliff of the back mountain, temporarily escape for life, and go to the lord."

"The lord led a large army to Jizhou to quell the chaos, but it is difficult to take care of all parties, and now, the most important thing is to protect the three ladies, we can only abandon this place."

Chu Yan's forward force is composed of sword and shield soldiers, and the first thing to attack the mountain is to prevent arrows, and the sword and shield soldiers can effectively resist the attack of archers. Chu Yan first organized sword and shield soldiers to carry out a tentative attack.

The soldiers on the arrow tower found the sword and shield soldiers, and hurriedly sounded the enemy attack horn, and the soldiers in the cottage hurriedly carried arrows and stones to the wall to prepare for battle.

More than 200 archers shot five or six hundred arrows at the same time, covering the mountain road, and those sword and shield soldiers were shot down a lot, but in the end, Zhou Cangbu's strength was limited, and Chu Yan saw the clues, and there were not many defenders in the cottage.

After ascertaining the enemy's situation, Chu Yan ordered the sword and shield soldiers to set up a shield umbrella and escort the infantry to attack the mountain. Although there are many arrows in the cottage, the manpower is limited, and the density and strength of the arrow array are significantly weakened, which cannot stop the attack of the sword and shield soldiers at all.

Seeing that Chu Yan's army had already attacked the front of the cottage, Zhou Cang climbed the wall to supervise the battle, and saw that Chu Yan's banner included the "Chu" flag and the "Jiang" flag, and looked like an official army.

Zhou Cang figured out the joints at once, and hurriedly returned to the camp tent to take the "Jiang" flag, which was inserted into the arrow tower, although the shape and color of the flag were different from Chu Yan's, but they were all written with the word "Jiang".

Chu Yan under the city was puzzled when he saw the "Jiang" flag erected in the cottage, but thought that maybe this cottage had already been subordinated to Jiang Sheng, so he ordered a suspension of the attack.

Chu Yan has the "Jiang" flag in the army, because he wants to show that he is Jiang Sheng's team, reflecting that the flag does not suppress the lord, according to the normal theory, Chu Yan is the main general, only the "Chu" flag can be, but although Chu Yan is the main general, he is Jiang Sheng's person, this is the road * line problem, so there is also a "Jiang" flag in the army.

Zhou Cang saw that the other party stopped attacking, and knew that his judgment was good, the other party was definitely not Jiang Sheng's direct force, otherwise he would not have come to attack Zhou Cang's cottage, but this team must have a great relationship with Jiang Sheng.

After thinking about it, Zhou Cang shouted on the battlement: "Are you fighting against General Jiang Sheng's troops? ”

Chu Yan heard it clearly, and replied loudly: "Since you know the prestige of General Jiang, quickly go out of the village and come down!" ”

"Haha - my own family! In the next week, he is General Jiang's servant, I don't know how the lord is doing in the near future? ”
