"Qu Shuai, you are hiding in the mountains and forests, I'm afraid it's not a long-term plan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Zai looked at Zhang Yan and said.

"What, do you have any opinions?" Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Zai who was smiling, and suddenly sneered twice: "Or is it the idea that the envoy wants to fight the Black Mountain Army?" ”

Zhang Zai's face did not change, nodded and said: "Qu Shuai, although this mountain is free, it is not a long-term plan, you offended Yuan Shao before, with Yuan Shao's character, I am afraid I will not let you go easily." ”

Zhang Yan smiled disdainfully: "He Yuan Shao doesn't have that much ability, and he has no way to take Montenegro." ”

"Qu Shuai, there are still many capable people under Yuan Shao, but now he is focused on stabilizing Jizhou and has no time to take care of here, I believe Qu Shuai has already fought with Yuan Shao." Zhang Zai looked at Zhang Yan, according to the information he received, Gongsun Zan had invited him to attack Yuan Shao, but was repelled by Yuan Shao's generals.

Zhang Yan's face suddenly became gloomy, Zhang Zai was telling the truth, he had sent people to attack Changshan Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom, but unfortunately they were all repulsed, and many people were lost, which made his prestige decline.

Zhang Zai didn't seem to see Zhang Yan's face, and then said: "If you give Yuan Shao another half a year and thoroughly digest Jizhou, then I'm afraid your life will be difficult." ”

"Taihang Mountain is not conducive to the growth of grain, the grain output is probably not high, and you claim to be million, the food is probably not enough to eat, in other seasons, you can also hunt, if it is winter, I am afraid that many people will starve to death, when the time comes, Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to attack, I don't know if Qu Shuai can withstand it?"

Zhang Yan shouted angrily: "Enough! ”

Hearing Zhang Yan's roar, a soldier immediately entered the room, holding a spear and a big knife, facing Zhang Zai with an unkind face.

Seeing this, Dian Wei also took out the iron halberd he carried with him and held it with them.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Zhang Zai glanced at the soldiers behind him, ignored their fierce gazes, looked at Dian Wei who was blocking his side, and said, "Evil, put away your weapons." ”

"Lord......" Dian Wei just wanted to refute, but was patted on the shoulder by Zhang Zai, and saw Zhang Zai's eyes that could not be refused, so he had to hang the weapon on his waist again, but he still looked at them with a wary face.

Du Chang, who was on the side, saw that Zhang Yan was angry, and hurriedly said, "Qu Shuai is angry." ”

At the same time, looking at the soldiers who came in, Du Chang said again: "There's nothing wrong here, you can retreat first." ”

Those soldiers looked left and right, but they didn't hear Zhang Yan's order, and no one dared to move first.

As a last resort, Du Chang had no choice but to look at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's eyes kept flickering, and his face was also cloudy, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "Stand down, no one is allowed to come in without my order." ”

"No!" The soldiers were ordered to go out.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Zai, his tone was also gone, and he said bluntly: "What do you mean by coming here, if you don't explain it, you will die here." ”

Zhang Zai didn't care about Zhang Yan's threat, and smiled faintly: "Zai came here just to discuss cooperation with Qu Shuai." ”

"Cooperation?" Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Zai, her eyes full of suspicion.

"As long as Qu Shuai does not harass and merges the state, and when Qu Shuai needs to send troops, he can help X, and I am willing to send Qu Shuai a batch of grain every year, and if you are willing to submit to the imperial court, you can also go to X. Zhang Zai said.

"I'm afraid that the envoy wants to integrate our Montenegrin army into the state, with the envoy's food, if the envoy wants to incorporate the Montenegrin army at that time, I'm afraid it will be very simple." Zhang Yan is not stupid, and Zhang Zai did not hide his thoughts.

"Qu Shuai can consider this matter, stationed in Taihang Mountain, after all, it is not a long-term plan." Zhang Zai said: "And with the infamy of a bandit, it's not good, is it?" ”

"Hmph, this matter doesn't bother you." Although Zhang Yan snorted coldly, her tone had softened.

"Then I don't know how Qu Shuai decides?" Zhang Zai saw that Zhang Yan's expression softened, so he asked.

"Yan can promise the envoy that he will definitely not plunder in the territory of Bingzhou, and as for the matter of returning to the imperial court, he must discuss with the various commanders of the Montenegrin Army." For Zhang Zai, Zhang Yan still has some trust.

"Okay, Qu Shuai is quick to talk, if there is a result, you can send someone to Jinyang, and you can wait for you at any time." Zhang Zai didn't want to stay longer, after all, Zhen Mi was still under the mountain, and he didn't feel at ease.

"Okay." Zhang Yan nodded, looked at Du Chang, and said, "Just trouble Brother Du to run again and take someone to send the envoy out of the mountain." ”

The Montenegrin army is scattered all over the mountain range, and there are still several armies here, so I am afraid that they will provoke Zhang Zai, and when Zhang Zai sends out a large army, and then contacts Yuan Shao, the Montenegrin army does not have the capital to fight on two fronts.

"No." Du Chang received the order.

Zhang Zai saw Zhang Yan's overtures, arched his hand and said, "There are Lao Qushuai and Du Chang under the leadership." ”

"You're welcome." Zhang Yan returned the salute, and then said: "It's just incorporated into the state army, which is very implicated, Rong Yan will make plans after gathering the leaders of all parties, but within half a month, Yan will have a reply, and please forgive me." ”

"It's good to say, this matter is facilitated by Qu Shuai, and I hope that Qu Shuai will do his best to run and say goodbye." Zhang Zai said goodbye.

"Please!"

Zhang Yan sent Zhang Zai out of the gate, looking at the figure of Zhang Zai and the three of them in the distance, his eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to do this.

Zhang Yan returned to the village, sent all the scouts, and went to the stations of the tribes, to invite their leader, Qu Shuai, to meet him tonight.

"It's scared to death." Du Chang let out a sigh.

"Brother Du, why did he say this." Zhang Zai looked at Du Chang and said with a smile.

"What the envoy said lightly, if the envoy and the commander fight, I really don't know how to deal with it." Du Chang smiled bitterly.

Zhang Zai smiled, he didn't think too much about it at that time, he was all focused on Zhang Yan and the entire Black Mountain Army, and naturally didn't pay attention to Du Chang, but now when he heard his complaints, Zhang Zai could only apologize.

"Brother-in-law." As soon as Zhen Mi saw Zhang Zai returning, he immediately ran to his side and threw himself into Zhang Zai's arms.

Zhang Zai touched Zhen Mi's hair, looked at Zhen Mi with a worried face, and comforted her in a low voice.

It took almost five hours for Zhang Zai to go back and forth, and when he came to the convoy again, it was already dark and he couldn't see the road clearly.

The mountain road at night was not easy to walk, even if there were torches, it was difficult to move forward, and Zhang Zai was not in a hurry, so he did not rush again, and set up a simple tent on the spot.

Du Chang had no objection to Zhang Zai's arrangement, and as for his subordinates, they took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark. Du Chang drove them back to the cottage directly, and ordered them to gather here early tomorrow morning, and then escort Zhang Zai and the others away, while he himself stayed to prevent those who were not long-sighted from coming to harass.
