Chapter Twenty-Six: Yecheng

readx;?ā€œ Yecheng? Chu Yan's complexion changed suddenly, and then he exclaimed: "This Yecheng is the capital of Jizhou, the city is high and the walls are wide, how could my father-in-law attack Yecheng?" ā€

Zhang Cheng remembered in his heart that Zhang Niujiao in history had indeed broken through Yecheng, did he happen to meet him?

"Big brother, let's speed up the march and rush to Yecheng, maybe we can help my uncle," Zhang Cheng reminded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Okay, Zang Baqu Shuai, you now lead the infantry to Montenegro, and my second brother and I will lead the cavalry to go first" Chu Yan rode south, and the 50,000 troops behind him went south like covering the sky and the sun.

Montenegro is located at the southern end of Tainan Mountain, don't look at Zhang Cheng's current location is also Taihang Mountain, but Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, and if you roughly calculate, it is also more than 200 miles from these to Montenegro.

For cavalry, this is nothing, if you hurry up, you can get there in a day.

The two hurried and finally arrived in the north of Yecheng before dark.

At this moment, outside Yecheng, the camps are all over the place, as if they are dotted all over the place, and the majestic shouts and shouts are endless, and the defenders at the head of the city are demoralized.

"Look, brother, that's my father's big tent," Chu Yan said excitedly.

Zhang Cheng looked at the dotted tent and suddenly gasped, although Zhang Cheng had not led the troops for a long time, but he could also roughly judge the number of the army according to the camp tent, and at a cursory glance, there were almost 300,000 people.

It seems that history says that there are more than 500,000 yellow scarves under the horn tent, which is not a boast, but something about it.

It is said that this horn is to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Uprising, under the banner of the Yellow Turban, into an army, standing in Taihang Mountain, and later attacked Dingtao, was shot by a stray arrow, died, passed on to Chu Yan, Chu Yan also changed his surname to Zhang, became Zhang Yan.

Many people know that Zhang Jiao swept Bazhou, and the Yellow Turban was huge, but in fact, many people forgot that Zhang Niujiao's power was actually far greater than Zhang Jiao.

It's just that Zhang Niujiao is very smart, under the banner of the Yellow Turban, but he doesn't want to be as sharp as Zhang Jiao, but hides in the Taihang Mountain, watching Zhang Jiao fight with the officials and soldiers, and finally Zhang Jiao is defeated, but Zhang Niujiao's power is not damaged in the slightest.

Even after absorbing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places, there was a substantial increase.

Now Zhang Cheng finally understands why Yuan Shao was so strong at the beginning, but he couldn't deal with Zhang Yan when he commanded Sizhou.

Now it seems that in Hebei at that time, Yuan Shao was not a monopoly, if Yuan Shao was the lord of the four states, then Zhang Yan was the underworld overlord at that time, one black and one white, Yuan Shao could only rule the day of Hebei, and the night was Zhang Yan's world.

"Brother, let's go, I'll take you to see your father-in-law" Chu Yan's excitement led Zhang Cheng to the big tent with Zhang Niujiao.

"Who?" The soldier at the gate of the big tent suddenly shouted.

"I'm Chu Yan"

The soldier at the door was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Yan and suddenly exclaimed, "Meet the leader of Chu Yan."

"Where is the father-in-law?"

"The big leader is in the big tent of the Chinese army, the leader of Chu Yan, please"

Zhang Cheng heard it at this time, it turned out that this horn was known as the big leader, and Chu Yan and the others were just the leaders of the five parties, so Zhang Chengcheng was a little strange, how could Chu Yan appear next to Zhang Jiao?

In the middle of the army, the largest camp was the camp with horns.

After learning that Chu Yan was back, Zhang Niujiao personally greeted him.

"Meet my father-in-law" Chu Yan knelt on the ground, Zhang Cheng was a little at a loss, so he had to kneel down.

"Wu'er is here, hurry up" Zhang Niujiao pulled Chu Yan up excitedly, looked up and down a few times, saw Chu Yan's appearance was a little more mature, and sighed a little: "Wu'er has grown up"

"Yes, the child can share the worries of his father-in-law" Chu Yan was also very excited.

As soon as the father and son met, they directly put Zhang Cheng aside, and after a long shout, Zhang Niujiao pulled Chu Yan and walked towards the big tent.

"Oh, that's right" Chu Yan remembered at this time, and pulled Zhang Niujiao back.

"The child almost forgot, father-in-law, this is the child's newly married brother, Zhang Cheng"

"Zhang Cheng?" Zhang Niujiao heard this, and then asked, "You are the Zhang Cheng who broke the emperor?" ā€

"It's the nephew, salute the uncle" Zhang Cheng made a series.

"Hahahaha, we don't have so many rules, virtuous nephew, please" Zhang Niujiao was very bold, and pulled the two of them towards the big tent.

At this moment, there are already four people sitting in the big tent, these people are rude and uninhibited, Zhang Cheng has vaguely guessed that this may be the leader of the Quartet that Chu Yan said.

"Haha, come on, brothers, who do you think is coming?" Zhang Niujiao said with a smile.

"Feiyan?" Several people were immediately overjoyed, obviously very familiar with Chu Yan.

"This is my son's sworn brother, Zhang Cheng who broke Huangfu Song and Cao Cao in front of him"

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang, let's do one first" One of them, his face was full of bandits, and his voice was like thunder, which shook Zhang Cheng's eardrums and hurt, this is Zhang Leigong, who is famous for his voice among the Taihang Mountain bandits.

"That is, Zhang Qu is a hero in the world, do one" Several other people also agreed, and without waiting for Zhang Cheng to speak, he raised the wine bottle in his hand and drank it all.

Zhang Cheng then remembered that these guys were real bandits, thinking that when he was an actor in his previous life, he had also played a bandit, so Zhang Cheng simply let go of the shelf and played a bandit.

"Okay, come, do it" Zhang Cheng raised the wine bottle, raised his neck and drank a wine bottle.

"Come, eat meat" After Zhang Cheng sat down, Zhang Baiqi on the side took a roasted golden leg of mutton and threw it over, and after Zhang Cheng took it, he took it and gnawed it up.

This may be what people say about drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in large pieces, although it is a little indecent, but it does make people feel comfortable.

After being full of wine and food, Zhang Niujiao said: "Now there are still 20,000 officers and soldiers in this Yecheng, and we will strive to take Yecheng tomorrow."

Hearing Zhang Niujiao talk about the war in Yecheng, Zhang Cheng took his heart back, and everyone put away the hippie smile just now.

"Big leader, this Yecheng city is high and wide, and Guan Chun, who guards the city, is a famous general in Jizhou......"

"Could it be that my 300,000-strong army can't take his 20,000-strong Yecheng?" Zhang Niujiao said unhappily.

When everyone heard this, they were silent.

Zhang Cheng and Chu Yan had just arrived, and they didn't know what the situation was, so they didn't interject, and after being introduced by a few people on the side, Zhang Cheng and Chu Yan probably understood what was going on, it turned out that this horn had been short of food recently.

Think about it, hundreds of thousands of troops, stationed in Taihang Mountain, hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed, if you want to feed, it is impossible not to grab points.
