Cao Shuo's order was given, and the soldiers immediately dispersed, divided into four phalanxes, and surrounded the Montenegrin army in the middle.

At the same time, Zhang Yan was also a little flustered.

The order was given by him, and the soldiers broke into the villages and towns a few days ago, and indeed robbed a lot of things and killed a lot of people, but he didn't expect that Cao Shuo would actually make a big move for this and send troops to surround them.

"General, what should I do?" One of Zhang Yan's subordinates looked at the Cao army besieging them, and asked Zhang Yan in a little panic.

"What's the panic?" Zhang Yan said: "Cao Zirong has only 30,000 people, and we are also more than 30,000 people. ”

"Our 30,000 people are short of drills." The partial general whispered: "Cao Zirong's 30,000 people have been on the battlefield for a long time, and even the most elite Yuan army and Hun cavalry are not their opponents......"

Glaring at the general fiercely, Zhang Yan said: "If you dare to disturb the army's heart again, believe it or not, I will behead you immediately?" ”

Zhang Yan was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Yan again.

Full of chagrin, Zhang Yan frowned and looked at the Cao army besieging them.

He also knew the strength of the army under Cao Shuo, but the people had already surrounded him, and if he didn't fight, he was afraid that it would be a dead end.

Just when he didn't know what to do, a Montenegrin army came to Zhang Yan's side.

"General, Duke Wu asks to see." The Montenegrin Army said to Zhang Yan.

"Wu Qian?" Zhang Yan asked.

"Exactly." The Montenegrin Army replied.

"Ask him to come here!" Zhang Yan commanded.

The Montenegrin army that reported the news retreated and quickly brought Wu Zhen over.

Seeing Wu Zhen, Zhang Yan was about to ask him what to do, but suddenly saw that his face was already swollen.

Taken aback, Zhang Yan asked, "What's wrong with Gong Wu?" ”

"Isn't it General Zhang who caused the trouble?" Wu Zhen said: "The eldest son gave me a slap in the face. ”

"Duke Wu is the person next to the second son, and the eldest son dares to slap you?" Zhang Yan was stunned.

"The eldest son is already angry." Wu Zhen said: "He wants us to hand over the murderer, but how many soldiers are involved in the looting and killing, can the general say clearly?" ”

"If you want to talk about murderers, I'm one of them." Zhang Yan said: "It was my order that the soldiers would do this!" ”

"The general dares to take responsibility, and the second son admires it very much." Wu Zhen said: "However, has the general ever thought about what the eldest son wants? ”

"What do you want?" Zhang Yan's eyes widened: "I'm a general, is it possible to fill in the lives of a few soldiers?" ”

"The general is in command of the Black Mountain Army, not the soldiers and horses under the command of the eldest son." Wu Zhen said: "The eldest son has always protected his shortcomings, who in the Cao family doesn't know? I tried to dissuade the general, but he turned a deaf ear to what he said to me......"

Wu Zhen sighed when he said this.

Zhang Yan also said with some annoyance: "What's the use of Gong Wu saying this now? The matter has come out, and there has to be a way to fix it. ”

"That's what the general said." Wu Zhen said: "There must be a solution, Gongzi wants me to come and ask the general to come over and discuss with him how to solve this matter." ”

Looking at Wu Qian, Zhang Yan asked, "Is there a way to solve it?" ”

"Already." Wu Zhen said: "I just have to ask the general to go over and discuss, after all, the Montenegrin army obeys the general's orders, and the general has to have the final say on whether to fight or make peace." ”

"If you can't fight, of course it's better not to fight." Zhang Yan said: "But if I have to fight, I don't have any better way." ”

"The general is right." Wu Zhen said: "If you can not fight, of course it is best not to fight, it is really to the situation where we have to fight, we have to think of a way to retreat from the enemy." ”

"If we start a war with the eldest prince and spread it to Duke Cao...... Zhang Yan asked hesitantly, "What does the Guild Cao say?" ”

"The matter between the two sons, the general is just carrying out military orders." Wu Zhen said: "Could it be that Cao Gong will still blame the general?" ”

"But the power of the army is in my hands." Zhang Yan was still not very relieved and said: "In case Cao Gong chases after me, I'm afraid I can't afford to ......."

"The general is too worried." Wu Zhen said: "Cao Gong is not unreasonable, the two sons fight each other, what does it have to do with the general?" Even if he wants to blame, he blames the two sons. ”

Wu Zhen said this, Zhang Yan was a lot more relieved.

In his early years, he was an enemy of the Yuan family, and he suffered a lot.

Now that he has served the Cao family, the good days have just begun, and he doesn't want to offend the Cao family like this, and he will be crusaded by the Cao family again from now on.

"Childe is still waiting, the general must not hesitate any longer." Wu Zhen said: "The eldest son doesn't have much time, whether we fight or not, we have to make up our minds with the general." ”

"What I'm worried about is that Cao Gong is to blame, but I'm not afraid of anything else." Zhang Yan said: "Since Duke Wu said that even if the two armies fight, Duke Cao will only blame the two sons, then I have nothing to worry about." ”

"General, please!" Wu Zhen stepped aside and asked Zhang Yan to go first.

"Wu Gong, please!" Zhang Yan and Wu Zhiqian gave in, but walked in front with their heads held high.

At this time, Cao Pi's handsome tent, twenty or thirty guards were hiding outside the tent with weapons.

Cao Pi had already explained to them, as long as they shouted in the tent, they would immediately rush in and tie up Zhang Yan.

In the handsome tent, Cao Pi walked back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.

When he came to Youzhou, he planned to make some trouble for Cao Shuo.

What can make Cao Shuo most troublesome is nothing more than to bring disaster to Youzhou, kill more people here, and rob more goods.

As long as he is ruthless enough, even if Cao Shuo gets Youzhou in the future, the money and energy invested here will be great, and it is very suitable to use Youzhou to contain Cao Shuo's development.

I thought that the Black Mountain Army had made a fuss, and Cao Shuo didn't dare to do anything to them.

But he didn't expect that the eldest brother was a reckless person at all.

Not only did he plan to do something to them, but he even abandoned Jixian County, which was about to attack, and transferred the army here to besiege the Montenegrin army.

Thinking about it carefully, it was he who did the wrong thing in this matter first, even if he went to Cao Cao to reason, it was impossible for Cao Cao to protect him.

The difference is not that they killed many people in Youzhou and plundered a lot of grain, grass and goods, but that the Montenegrin Army really did not kill the more than 20 soldiers under Cao Shuo.

More than 20 soldiers died, and Cao Shuo certainly had a reason to make a big deal against them.

was anxiously walking back and forth in the tent, Cao Pi heard Wu Zhen's voice outside the tent: "Childe, General Zhang is here." ”

Hearing that Zhang Yan was coming, Cao Pi took a deep breath and said outside, "Quickly invite General Zhang to come in and talk." ”
