As far as Che Xiao knows, as the largest group of Black Mountain thieves, Zhang Yanbu likes to live along the Hutuo River.

Unloaded the conspicuous armor and waistcoat, put back on the two crotch armors, Deng Ji and Che Huang rode in pairs and four, all the way to the north.

There are a lot of small and medium-sized black mountain thieves in Taihang, the two of them are in a hurry, so they did not avoid one by one, the two of them are riding good horses, and there are few red-eyed temptations all the way, fortunately, the horse is fast, the other party can't catch up, but four or five days of kung fu, it will be to the Hutuo River.

Hutuo River is one of the main rivers of the Haihe River water system, since ancient times the name is different, Huchi, Evil Pond, Huo Chi, Houchi, Ya Yuan, etc. are its aliases, Cao Wei called it Hutuo River, the Northern Wei Dynasty had changed to Qingning River, the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the same as later generations, it was called Hutuo River.

The Jingcheng on the bank of the Hutuo River is also one of the eight Taihang Mountains, and it is also a county, Zhang Yan's department is now in the north of Jingcheng County, the old and weak people add up to 1670,000, the camp stretches for several miles, it is not difficult to find, when Deng Ji and Che Huang arrived, Zhang Yan, who was the big leader, was sulking in the camp.

A few days ago, Zhang Yan led 20,000 strong people to cross Taihang to Bingzhou to plunder, but he was attacked head-on by Zhang Yi of Bingzhou Assassin Shi and his own family in Taiyuan County, although the loss was not large, but there was nothing captured, so he had to retreat gloomily.

Now the world is hard, Jizhou is becoming more and more barren, the government and the big families are sticking to the city, and it is becoming more and more difficult to plunder, and the army can only go to the state to replenish, this time it actually failed, and if it doesn't work, do you have to change to slightly Youzhou?

You must know that Youzhou is located in the border, the Han border army and Wuhuan, Xianbei have many wars, very elite, and Zhang Chun, Gongsun Zhan two big tigers with great military achievements in the town, although most of the black mountain thieves are active at the junction of Hebei and Youzhou, but Zhang Yan has always been self-aware, never to Youzhou to plunder.

The risk of capturing Youzhou is too great, otherwise, gather all the departments and fight with that Zhang Yi?

Just when Zhang Yan was thinking left and right in the tent and was undecided, the guards came to report that there was a young moth thief outside the tent who claimed to be Deng Pimple.

It doesn't matter internally, it's up to others to call it, but the name of his own family, Deng Ji also thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it was better to use the pimple, "Lei Gong" is majestic, but his own strength is insufficient, if it causes the dissatisfaction of Zhang Lei Gong among the Black Mountain thieves, it will not be good, and the year before last he was separated from his second brother Deng Zhong in Runan, although the chance is slim, but there is always a trace of hope in his heart, if he survives in the troubled times, his own name is spread out, and it is best to find it.

Since the Black Mountain thieves held up the world in Taihang, there are countless people who have been found for various reasons, there are moth thieves, there are also bandits, some have persevered in Taihang, some have disappeared in a few days, and soon a new face will be born, and it is impossible to remember everyone, etc., which is not surprising.

It's just that Zhang Yan was a little funny when he heard someone call himself a pimple, but since he was a thief, this kind of thing was not too strange, and there were also white sparrows, Feiyan, Wulu, and Qingniujiao among the Black Mountain thieves, so he immediately summoned him in.

Che Huang stayed outside the tent, Deng Ji entered proudly, and the first time he saw this general in the middle of the peace and the black mountain thief Daqu Shuai, he naturally had to look carefully, but he saw that he was seven feet six inches tall, his face was red, and his face looked like an ordinary person, but his eyes were very bright and smart.

still has to beg for a living under others, Deng Ji didn't dare to be rude too much, and hurriedly said: "Nanyang Deng Pimple, I've seen General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Yan is gentle to people on weekdays, good at soldiers, seeing that Deng Jili is not lacking, the young man is immature and young, and there is a heroic spirit on his body, he first stored a little joy in his heart, and Wen Yan asked: "What is the matter with me?" ”

Deng Ji hurriedly presented the two jade pendants prepared, and said loudly: "The kid is a yellow scarf under the command of Zhang Mancheng in Nanyang, Wancheng Yugu, running around Yanyu with thousands of companions, trying to survive in Jizhong, but the world is intolerable, and the heart is really panicked. ”

In this life for more than ten years, Deng Ji has also learned some half-literate words, but this pass was thought about on the way to Che Huang, and he read it out without pausing in front of Zhang Yan.

"Hehe, if you are not weak in the year, is you a handsome party?" After taking the jade pendant, Zhang Yan was slightly surprised and asked, "How many people are in your department?" ”

"More than 4,000 people, but most of them are old and weak, and less than 400 are strong!"

Deng Ji didn't dare to tell lies, he voted for the Black Mountain thieves, not only enjoying the blessing and not contributing, if Zhang Yanchi summoned all the troops and had to help the battle, if he only said that the total population was 4,000, according to the convention, there would be more than 1,000 strong, and when people were recruited into battle, they would not be offended?

It's not good to say less, Taihang is Zhang Yan's territory, these things will be discovered sooner or later, and it is better to be disgusted by people for lying, it is better to tell the truth.

Under Zhang Yan, there are more than 20 black mountain thieves in Taihang, including the old and weak, there are more than 20,000 or 30,000 people, and there are 6 or 7,000 less, if there are 4,000 people, they can barely be regarded as big thieves, Zhang Yan's eyes just flashed, and when he heard the words of less than 400 strong, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked: "Less than 400 people, how to feed these many old and weak?" ”

Seeing that this General Zhang Yan was not bad, Deng Ji straightened up and grinned: "Do your best!" ”

The young man did not say that he would definitely succeed, nor did he hang his head, but he did his best, which made Zhang Yan even more happy, forgetting today's sorrow for a while, and laughing and praised: "He is a good boy!" ”

"Since your ministry is in a difficult situation," without any hesitation, Zhang Yan handed back two valuable jade pendants: "This thing will be kept for your own use, and it can be supported for a few more days by finding a merchant to exchange it for grain and grass, and I can't accept yours!" ”

These two jade pendants are the fine products obtained by the big families in Fan County, although they don't know the value, there is no problem in exchanging them for 100 stone millet grain, seeing him so bold, Deng Ji pinched the jade pendant, and couldn't help but be moved for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "General......"

Zhang Yan smiled at him and asked, "Where are you camped?" ”

"In the southeast of the Hou Kingdom, in an unknown valley west of Gushan!"

"Huh?" Zhang Yan of the Eight Hundred Miles Taihang was very familiar with it, and he was stunned and said, "Do you know that the plague in that place was very serious last year?" ”

Deng Ji hurriedly said that the caravan had passed by and the epidemic had passed, so Zhang Yan didn't say anything more, but just said: "It's hard to come from afar, stay here for a few more days!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Yan turned his head to call the guards: "Come on, go and invite General Du to come over!" ”

After a while, a black-faced and short-haired man walked in, Zhang Yan pointed at him and smiled at Deng Ji: "This is my general Du Chang, how close you can be to him!" ”

He also instructed Nadu Chang Haosheng to entertain Deng Ji and waved his hand to let the two go out.

Deng Ji never thought that Zhang Yan, who was the leader of hundreds of thousands of horses, was so friendly to others, and when he withdrew from the account with a jade pendant in his hand, he was a little reluctant.

Du Chang is one of the most useful generals under Zhang Yan, he is bold and hospitable, and likes to drink, and he does not despise Deng Ji for such a small group of thieves and soldiers.

In the department of the root of the city, Deng Ji and Che Huang also asked, but according to Du Chang, they lost the battle and hid near the Bauhinia Ridge to raise them.

When bidding farewell to Zhang Yan, the leader of the big thieves gave a banner and three guards, and the word Montenegro was embroidered on the flag.

When he came out of Zhang Yan's camp and turned around, it was different from when he came, the chariot and millet waved the flag, and no one dared to offend in all the departments along the way, there were three Zhang Yan guards, and even someone came to deliver water and food.

All the way to the thieves and the autumn without committing any crimes, walking for a day, Deng Ji woke up that this is Changshan country, Zhao Yun's hometown, asked a few people to really set the direction of the city, it is actually in the east of this place, less than a hundred miles away.

The five tiger generals of Shu Han, Zhao Zilong of Changbanpo who is full of courage, the status of him and Tian Feng in Deng Ji's mind is the gap between superstars and ordinary stars, when he thinks that such a fierce man is close at hand, the young man's heart is like being clawed, and he can't suppress it anymore.

After thinking about it, he took off the two crotch armors on his body and handed them to Che Huang, and asked him to lead a few Zhang Yan's guards to take a step forward, bring his own two horses, and run towards Zhending with a gun.
