Jizhou Assassin Wang Fen and his entourage of more than 20 people came to Jiang Sheng's camp, and after the camp guards asked for their identities, they hurriedly entered the camp to report. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jiang Sheng straightened his clothes and armor, and led the captains of the schools to come out of the tent to greet them.

"The last general has seen Lord Thorn!" Jiang Sheng arched his hand.

"The general is tired from the march, so he doesn't have to be polite, can he come in and talk?" Wang Fen said.

"Your Excellency, please—"

Everyone entered the big tent, Wang Fen sat on the main seat, Jiang Sheng accompanied him on one side, and the rest of the people stood in the tent.

"General Jiang's prestige has been admired by Shi Shi for a long time. This time I came to Jizhou, which is really a blessing for the officials and the people of Jizhou. ”

"The adult has won the award, and the last general will entrust the emperor to Hongfu, and cut off some credit, which is not enough to worry about. Lord Assassin Shi came to the barracks to offer condolences, and the last general thanked the officers and soldiers of the battalion on behalf of the whole battalion. Jiang Shenggou bowed.

"Wherever you are, in the future, you will rely on the general to protect the safety of Jizhou."

"As for the situation of the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou, I hope that the adults will give me some advice." Jiang Sheng cut straight to the point.

"There are more than 30 large and small armies in Jizhou, ranging in number from 3,000 to 4,000 or 50,000, among which the most rampant are Li Damu, Zhang Baiqi, Chu Yan, Zhenggu, and Zhou Cang."

"What? Zhou Cang? Jiang Sheng was thundered.

"Does the general recognize this man?" Wang Fen said.

"Are you sure that Zhou Cang is also a Black Mountain thief?"

"Of course I am sure, some time ago, the Black Mountain thieves were infighting, and Yu Yigen led 30,000 troops to attack Zhoucang's cottage, and returned with a feather, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since."

"I see, I don't know how many troops are in the warehouse this week?"

"Well, this official doesn't know. can beat the 30,000 people at the root of Yu Di to a slump, and I think there will be no shortage of troops. ”

"Then where is Chu Yan sacred?"

"Chu Yan's Black Mountain thieves have the strongest combat power, his thief army specializes in attacking county counties, counties, and cities, but never robs the people, so there are many people who are attached to Chu Yan, and Chu Yan tried to ally with Zhang Niujiao during the Yellow Turban, but the horn was killed, and then the thief army of Qingniujiao was dispersed."

According to historical records, Chu Yan worshiped Zhang Niujiao as his father-in-law, and then Zhang Niujiao's power rose, when attacking the gall pottery of Julu County, Zhang Niujiao died in battle, Chu Yan changed his name to Zhang Yan, and received Zhang Niujiao's troops, which was a great shock.

In Jiang Sheng's post-traversal history, Zhang Niujiao was killed by Jiang Sheng last year, so there is no way to talk about Chu Yan's alliance with him.

"Who is that white horseman?" Jiang Sheng asked again.

"Zhang Baiqi is said to be Zhang Jiao's righteous son, after the fall of the Yellow Turban last year, he gathered many Yellow Turban rebels under the banner of avenging his father-in-law, with a strength of about 50,000, mainly in Zhongshan County. There are more than 30,000 people in Na Li Damu and Zheng Gu, and they do not have a fixed area of activity. ”

Although Wang Fen also bought officials with money, his political performance was okay, but he belonged to the Qingliu party and was incompatible with the Ten Standing Servants, so he asked for troops to come to Jizhou to beg for thieves many times and was rejected, until the Montenegrin Army formed a climate, and the imperial court had to send troops to beg.

Jiang Sheng asked Wang Fen about the situation of the Black Mountain thieves, and Wang Fen had a lot of knowledge.

"The general is here in Jizhou, I don't know how many troops there are?" Wang Fen asked.

"Thirty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand?" Wang Fen felt a little incredible, "There are seven or eight Montenegrin armies with 30,000 people, and the general is inevitably a little big!" ”

"My lord, now that the ten permanent servants are in charge, the government is chaotic, there is smoke all over the country, the court has no soldiers to send, and it is good to be able to come with 30,000. Before the expedition, the emperor gave me an edict to allow me to control the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, and I hope that the adults will support me. ”

Jiang Sheng showed Emperor Ling's handwritten edict, Wang Fen's expression was gloomy after reading it, and he said: "It's not a secret, my Jizhou official army has been defeated again and again, and the losses are heavy, and the remaining soldiers and horses are concentrated in the locations of the county administrations, and there are no soldiers and horses available." ”

"In this way, only by lifting the siege of the county governors can we gather troops."

"That's right, I don't know if the general has a strategy to break the enemy?" Wang Fen cares about this.

"Your Excellency only needs to do a good job of material support, and leave the rest to the last general." Jiang Sheng said.

"General, please rest assured, after the yellow scarf, Yecheng has been renovated, and the materials in the city are abundant, as long as Yecheng is not lost, the general's material support will be handed over to this official." Wang Fen was worried about the safety of Yecheng, so to let Jiang Sheng keep Yecheng no matter what.

Jiang Sheng said: "Yecheng is the foundation of Jizhou, and the general will definitely protect it." ”

"Okay, then the official will go back to the city first and wait for the general's good news." Wang Fen got up to say goodbye, and Jiang Sheng led the lieutenants Sima to send out of the camp.

That night, Jiang Sheng tossed and turned, and the black mountain thief Zhou Cang that Wang Fen said made Jiang Sheng insomnia. This Zhou Cang is obviously Jiang Sheng's person, how could he become a black mountain thief? Still engaged in infighting with Yu Yigen?

Jiang Sheng decided to go to Changshan first to check if there was a person with the same name. On the second day, Jiang Sheng ordered each part to be three roads, and distributed around Yecheng in the shape of "product", with only one principle: to defend Yecheng, you can only defend it, not chase it, and leave Zhang Nan in Yecheng to supervise the various departments.

After settling down, Jiang Sheng immediately changed into the people's clothes, went out with four entourages day and night, and went straight to Changshan.

A few days later, Jiang Sheng came to the foot of Changshan Mountain, and then walked along the mountain road to the mountain.

After a while, the soldiers guarding the arrow tower spotted the people on the mountain road and hurriedly reported it.

Zhou Cang and Zhao Yun heard the report, and hurriedly climbed the arrow tower to observe, but saw that it was Jiang Sheng, and hurriedly opened the camp gate and went down the mountain to greet them.

"Lord!" The two arched their hands.

"Yuanfu, Zilong, don't come unharmed!" Jiang Sheng said, and then said to Zhao Yun: "Why isn't Zilong called Big Brother?" ”

"Zilong doesn't dare, the eldest brother is also mentioning it, Zilong is willing to serve the lord, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake."

"Alas, why are you and Zilan like this, you and I are brothers of the opposite sex, why do you have to be so different?"

"If the lord is grateful for the love of brotherhood, let the foolish brother follow you to conquer the world!" Zhao Yundao.

"Okay, you will follow me on the battlefield from now on!" Jiang Sheng said.

After the greetings, Jiang Sheng and the others entered the villa, Tong Lin was very happy when she heard Jiang Sheng's voice, so she took Zhang Wanrong and Zhang Wanying out to meet her.

"Is the husband here to take us to Le'an?" Tong Lin asked.

"Not yet."

"Why? Didn't you settle down in Le'an? ”

"I came to Jizhou this time to lead the army to suppress thieves, I am afraid that I will not go back in a short time, and now Xiahoulan is the county guard of Le'an, let's talk about it later."

"Then I don't know when and when my husband will ......" Tong Lin wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Zhou Cang and Zhao Yun.

Zhou Cang and Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "Let's go and inspect it, if there is something later, the lord can call me to wait." They all went out, and only Jiang Sheng and the three girls were left in the room.

"Husband, the slave family has been waiting for a year and a half, I don't know when you will marry me?" Tong Lin said.

Zhang's two beautiful eyes wandered, looking at Jiang Sheng, they have regarded themselves as Tong Lin's maidservants since they went up the mountain, although Tong Lin is commensurate with their sisters, but after all, they are still divided into priorities.
