Chapter 330: Surrender Zhang Yan

When Xu Shu brought the infantry to Jinyang, the banner of Lu Bu's army fluttered on the Jinyang city wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Bu was counting his household registration and stockpiling in the Assassin's Mansion. Although Jinyang is governed by a state, the assassin Shi Gaogan is not here. The senior cadres stationed the army in Shangdang, guarded the Huguan, and defended Jizhou. Of course, the main army of Bingzhou is not in Jinyang, but in the high-ranking cadres of Shangdang.

"Yuan Zhi and Wen He are here? What's next? Lu Bu saw Xu Shu and Jia Xu coming, and greeted them out of the mansion.

"Although Jinyang is won, it is really a chicken rib. Jinyang is sparsely populated, and there is no homesteaders, all of them are vassals who depend on the family, and our army cannot get any benefits, so we have to arrange a large army to deploy defenses. At the same time, it is necessary to guard against the remnants of the Xiongnu forces in the area of Zhang Yan and Yanmen in Montenegro. Xu Shu first weighed the disadvantages of Jinyang.

"Zhang Yan is a better person who can win over. The Jinyang family should be severely punished for their rebellion this time, so it is better to restore all their dependents to their white bodies and move to Tuntian in Beidi, Anding and other places. Then the empty city of Jinyang was rewarded to Zhang Yan, who defended the Xiongnu forces for the Ming Duke, and the Ming Duke only needed to fortify Hedong after capturing Hedong to guard against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yan. ”

"It's a good move. When Zhang Yan left Montenegro, he was no longer a Montenegrin thief, and if he wanted to crusade against him in the future, it would be much easier to attack the city than to go deep into Montenegro. I just don't know if Zhang Yan will jump into this quagmire? ”

"The lord is too worried, there is little arable land in Montenegro, and Zhang Yan has brought hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, and he can live until now, except for robbing his family and living a life, he is surviving. The terrain around Jinyang is flat, and the fertile fields are inclined, Zhang Yan knows that this is a trap, and I am afraid that he will jump in. Xu Shu touched his beard with a smile in his eyes, as if he was saying that Jia Xu was insidious.

"Okay. Draft a document for me, and make Zhang Yan the general of Pingbei and guard Yanmen Pass. The positions of Jinyang Taishou and Yanmen Taishou were arranged by him, and then reported to the imperial court. As long as he did not secretly communicate with foreign enemies in Jinyang and became a traitor, he would have promised not to raise troops to commit crimes. ”

Zhang Yan dragged her family with her mouth, and she was forced to fall into the grass. He ran to feed the old and weak people, and although he did a lot of angry deeds, Lu Bu respected him very much in his heart. In this era, it is rare to see the heroes who treat the people as human beings. As long as Zhang Yan accepts Lu Bu's official position, it can be regarded as an indirect appearance that he is willing to take refuge in Lu Bu, but he is the kind of master who listens to the propaganda and does not listen to the tune, and when the time comes, Lu Bu will arrange a state assassin to control Zhang Yan.

"Bo Yan, arrange something for you."

"Father-in-law, please command."

"My father-in-law's family is still in Yanmen, you take people to protect them and send them to Chang'an. The old man wrote several times to see you, the grandson-in-law, but Yanmen County traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, and there were bandits along the way, and they couldn't even attend the wedding between you and Ling'er. lest they be taken hostage by Zhang Yan, you can go on a trip yourself, and let the old man meet you casually. ”

Lu Bu's father-in-law is a small strong man in Yanmen County, otherwise he would have been wiped out by the southern invasion of the Xiongnu. Speaking of which, Lu Bu and Ding Yuan have been running around since they led their troops to Luoyang, and they haven't seen them for more than ten years.

While Lu Bu waited for Zhang Yan's reply, he moved all the population of Jinyang to Beidi County. He doesn't have many troops to protect the city, Chang'an is a vast land, not to mention the dilapidated and desolate annexed state, even if the people of the densely populated Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Jingzhou all move to Chang'an, they can be installed.

The army marched to the party in batches. During this period, Gao Gan sent troops to attack Jinyang several times, trying to drive Lu Bu's army out of Bingzhou, but they were repelled by the vanguard Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, so that Gao Gan's soldiers lost tens of thousands.

December of the fifth year of Jian'an. Ping difficult in the Lang will Montenegro

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The owner of the Yellow Turban Village and the black boss who swept through Youzhou, Jizhou, and the state, Zhang Yan finally couldn't resist the temptation of flat land and asked Lu Bu to go to Juma River to meet. Zhang Yanxuan met at Juma River, and Lu Bu smiled. It seems that when he followed Yuan Shaoming, the fear caused by the cavalry led by Lu Bu to Zhang Yan has not calmed down for several years. At that time, Lu Bu took Wei Yue and other dozens of horsemen, and attacked for more than ten consecutive days, beating Zhang Yan's 100,000 black mountain thieves to a complete collapse, and the collapsed battle array was killed by Yuan Shao's army.

Since Zhang Yan was afraid of his Lu Bu's cavalry, he still dared to take the risk to take over Jinyang and other places, it seems that after the defeat of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Zhang Yan's life is not easy, and the people who dragged their families on the Black Mountain should have been hungry and crazy, and they urgently needed a piece of land to recuperate.

In front of him is the canyon of the Juma River, and Zhang Yan has already sent people to set up stone pavilions on both sides of the canyon, and the stone pavilions look across the canyon. Lu Bu was far away from the mountains, leaving the crossbow battalion in the distance, and only brought Huang Zhong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, and Wei Yue to escort him.

Lu Bu was not as straight as the stone pavilion, with a flick of his robe, he sat on the stone bench with a big horse golden knife, and looked at Zhang Yan in front of him. It was the first time for Lu Bu to meet Zhang Yan at close range, Zhang Yan was well-proportioned but not burly, his face was slightly dark, and his ears were big, at first glance, he looked like a simple, honest and approachable person, but occasionally a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he quickly hid it.

Lu Bu never thought that Zhang Yan was a good person, he was brave and strategic, and he could get the strength of a soldier and stand tall as a thief in the world of the Han Dynasty full of princes without falling. Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was also looking at Lu Bu, he couldn't have imagined that Lu Bu, who made him frightened and known as the unparalleled brave general in the world, looked more like a scholar, and the bookish aura on his body covered up the killing, could it be that Lu Bu was born in a scholarly family? Zhang Yan, who knew Lu Bu, couldn't have imagined what had happened to the sharp-edged generals back then, resulting in an introverted aura, and a wandering dragon on his body was full of divine aura.

It had been a year since Lu Bu last used the active skill "Emperor's Wrath" on the Jade Seal of the Heirloom Kingdom, and this blue dragon appeared beside Lu Bu again. Lu Bu decided that he would not use this skill unless he had to do so in the future, and this game special effect should be used to pretend/compare, which can deter the enemy more than killing the enemy.

"Xiaguan Ping, the general of Zhonglang, Zhang Yan has seen the auxiliary general, Dasi Nong."

"General Zhang doesn't have to be polite, let's make a long story short, I'm pressed for time."

"It's nature. The general of the auxiliary state was busy with military affairs, from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, then to Jingzhou, then to Chang'an, then to Liangzhou, and then to Mobei, and finally came to our state...... In just two years, the world has been stirred into a pot of porridge, the common people have suffered misfortune, the general is pressed for time, the subordinates understand, understand, heh......" Zhang Yan sneered, with a hint of reproach in his words.

"Success or failure will not be discussed today. I see that you claim to be the general of Pingnan, and it seems that you have rejected the general Pingbei. So, it's annoying. Lu Bu saw that Zhang Yan was eager to get the land, got up and patted his armor, and pretended to leave. Even if Zhang Yan didn't come, anyway, he had already moved the people to Beidi County, and the remnants of the Xiongnu went south to attack the remaining families, and Lu Bu waited until his strength was fully developed before he came to clean up the remnants of the Xiongnu.

"General Lu is really majestic! Come when you want, go when you want! Behind Zhang Yan, thirty or forty murderous-looking men said angrily. This group of big men were shirtless, and their muscles exposed in the cold wind protruded one by one, full of explosive power.

"Yellow Turban Lux?" Lu Bu's gaze finally fell on them, and after only a moment's scrutiny, he turned his gaze away. The soldiers of the 1,000-company crossbow battalion behind him were not weaker than the Yellow Turban wrestlers after being strengthened. The difference between Lu Bu is that the Yellow Turban wrestlers trained by Zhang Jiao have not yet died, and there are still dozens of them in Zhang Yan's hands.

Zhang Yan was carefully observing Lu Bu's expression, every subtlety

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) did not let it go, but after Lu Bu recognized the Yellow Turban Lux, his expression was still light, which made Zhang Yan unsure. He turned back and pretended to reproach a few words, and then turned back to make amends:

"The subordinate officials are not strict in discipline, which makes the auxiliary generals laugh. Although the official position is low, he is also a minister of the Han Dynasty and a relative of Emperor Ling. If you can't receive the seal of the Son of Heaven, how dare the lower officials go to work. ”

"Presumptuous! Don't be ignorant of lifting......" Wei Yue saw Zhang Yan's refusal several times, and he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.

As soon as Wei Yue spoke, Lu Bu glared back, interrupting Wei Yue's next words. The afterglow swept over a few people behind him, Zhou Cang, Pang De's expressions were still the same, and Huang Zhong's face had flashed unpleasantly. Now there are still many people who are loyal to the Son of Heaven, and Huang Zhong was also abducted by Lu Bu in the name of the Son of Heaven, Wei Yue's words were denying Zhang Yan, indirectly revealing his disregard for the Son of Heaven, which caused Huang Zhong's dissatisfaction.

"Ben will be ordered by the Son of Heaven to have the right to recruit officials. General Pingbei's official position is already halfway through the report to the imperial court, at least ten days and a half months, and at most ten or twenty years The seal will be in the hands of the general, if the general is willing to wait, it is reasonable. ”

Lu Bu's words turned Zhang Yan's blackened face purple, isn't this time span too long! Lu Bu had a fearless expression, and Zhang Yan secretly hated it in his heart.

"Ben will withdraw his troops from Jinyang on the same day, and will leave a certain amount of food in the city for you to spend this winter on the Black Mountain. What do you want to do with the big families in the city, Ben will never ask, just don't put the account on my head. The main point of the group, the coal dug up in Yanmen County can only be sold to my Chang'an, and I will exchange it for resources such as food and weapons. As long as there is no secret communication with foreign enemies, trade and commerce, and taxes are paid on time, the army will never be raised. ”

"What! Still have to pay taxes? What is the difference between this and taking refuge in Chang'an? Zhang Yanho stood up suddenly.

"No, the difference is very big, nominally, you are still **, don't I just ask about the army in your hands? No matter how many troops you expand, as long as you don't do things that are harmful to my Chang'an, you will never ask. ”

"We have been planting for a year, and you have collected all the grain, what will you do to expand it?" Zhang Yan shouted wildly. Zhang Yan originally wanted to say that he would pay taxes to the Son of Heaven, but after thinking about it, he felt that this excuse was too inappropriate, and he didn't want Lu Bu to turn his face immediately, what is the difference between this and secretly communicating with Cao Cao.

"Give you tax exemption for three years, and let the people solve the problem of food and clothing first."

"Well, remember! Your Chang'an army is not allowed to set foot in Jinyang's jurisdiction without the permission of the general! ”

"It's such a happy decision." Lu Bu didn't care how Zhang Yan made things difficult, and first transferred Zhang Yan to guard the Yanmen Gate, so as not to be invaded by foreign tribes and poison the territory of the Han Dynasty. After the world is calmed down, we will slowly rectify the internal problems. As long as Zhang Yan hinted at paying taxes, he was still nominally attached to Chang'an.

"By the way, isn't your Montenegrin Army crisscrossing the Taihang Mountains? Can you do Ben a favor and take the pot down? ”

"What's in it for me? As long as there is food, the auxiliary general will fight whoever I am told to fight. ”

"Why does this sound familiar?" Lu Bu felt that Zhang Yan was the one who went to Guangling from Xiapi, and was driven crazy by the grain and grass: "If you don't take Huguan, Yuan Shao can directly use troops in Jizhou to merge with the state, and your Jinyang doesn't seem to be able to keep it." ”
