Chapter 82: Zhang Yan
Zhang Yan, formerly known as Chu Yan. Zhang Niujiao's general. Zhang Niujiao died, and in order to repay his kindness, Chu Yan changed his surname to Zhang. He is brave and good at fighting, and is proficient in strategy, and has won the trust of Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao's army was defeated and died, Zhang Yan gathered the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, formed an alliance with the Yellow Turbans in Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, and called themselves the Black Mountain Army, numbering millions of people, and dominating Jizhou.
Emperor Ling originally wanted to conquer and suppress, but Zhang Yan's strength was really strong, and the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was temporarily unable to encircle and suppress, so he recruited Zhang Yan and made him manage the administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous areas north of the Yellow River.
Unlike Zhou Chen, Zhang Yan relied on surrender to get the world's recognition, Zhou Chen developed steadily, Emperor Ling failed to pay attention to it when he was in power, and when he was about to hang up, it was too late
Although the combat power of Zhang Yan's soldiers is not necessarily high, there are many people, and the tactics of crowds are extremely practical.
Zhang Yan originally wanted to help Gongsun Chan resist Yuan Shao. His lips are dead and his teeth are cold, how can he not understand this truth? If it were according to the original development, Gongsun Chan and Zhang Yan would definitely be solved by Yuan Shao, but now it is different.
Zhang Yan listened to Zhou Chen's advice, and the two reached an agreement, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and let Gongsun Zan be defeated.
For Zhang Yan, Zhou Chen, like himself, started with a yellow scarf, which is quite intimate. The cooperation between the two is also relatively casual, and there is generally no need to worry about betrayal. After all, the green forest has the rules of the green forest, and the yellow turban has the dogma of the yellow scarf, and the influence of the Taiping Sect is still quite large.
"Lord, there is Youzhou ahead!" It was Zhang Qian, the captain under Zhang Yan, who spoke, and his force value was average, but he was good at finding information.
"Well, keep going! We are going to take a part of Youzhou and Jizhou this time! Zhang Yan said quite arrogantly.
With the residual power of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Yan can be said to be smooth sailing, and the million-strong army is in the limelight for a while.
"Yes!" Zhang Qian turned over and continued to listen to the information.
Half an hour later.
"Everyone's got my attention! The whole army attacked, first attacked Guangling, then hit Yangyuan, and took Daijun! With a wave of the big knife in Zhang Yan's hand, thousands of cavalry behind him rode their horses and galloped, and the infantry also sped up, following closely behind the cavalry, and it was black and oppressive, which made people feel afraid.
According to Zhou Chen and Zhang Yan's plan, Daijun's defense is relatively weak, and this place happens to be close to Zhang Yan's sphere of influence.
Gongsun Zhan was defeated by Yuan Shao, his strength was greatly damaged, and he was probably licking his wounds, and he had no time to come to the rescue. As for Yuan Shao, although he fought with Gongsun Zan and won the ruling power of Daijun, the time was still short and he failed to send more troops and horses, and at this time, Zhou Chen entangled him, and he had no ability to come to the rescue.
Zhang Yan's subordinates are mostly remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and although the equipment is poor, they are not bloody. Back then, Zhang Jiao raised troops, relying on millions of yellow scarves, and almost wiped out the Han Dynasty, not by equipment, not by training, but by the blood of these peasant soldiers!
With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of infantry slaughtered towards Guangling County. The cavalry did not attack, and only infantry was needed to siege the city.
The Guangling County Commander was revising the official documents, and the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao had nothing to do with him. When the time comes, whoever wins will be recognized as the boss, and his own small county official will have no effect at all.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, shook again and again, the bricks on the ground also rose and fell, and the seats kept trembling, in this case, it was difficult to write!
"Wang Hu! Show me, what's going on? Why is there such a movement? ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Wang Hu rolling in in a hurry, his mouth was closed, and he wanted to say something. Xu was too flustered, but he couldn't say a word.
frowned, and said with a calm face: "Slow down, what happened?" ”
After a while, Wang Hu finally calmed down and said, "My lord, there is a large group of people outside, and the city gate is in danger!" ”
"Damn!" The county magistrate now has the urge to beat Wang Hu up! After such a long delay, is this death?
Sure enough, as soon as the thought turned here, there was already a sound of horses' hooves outside the mansion gate, obviously, the enemy had arrived outside the mansion yamen!
"My lord, what should I do?" Wang Hu was a little afraid.
The county order was also a little surprised, and it took me to think that the other party would come in in such a short time! Although Guangling is not a city with a super high defense level, the city wall is six meters long! Are the thousands of soldiers in the city ornaments? How did you lose so quickly?
"It's good for me to have all the people inside! Guangling is now owned by my Montenegrin Army! If you want to be cocooned and self-bound, don't blame me Zhang Yan for not being emotional! Zhang Yan's roar came in, and the county order was stirred. A smile immediately appeared on his face, he straightened his coat and hat, and strode out.
The current officials are much more psychologically tolerant than those of previous years. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, who doesn't run away? The melee of various forces, whoever is beaten down, has basically become an unspoken rule. The Guangling County Order will naturally not be confused at this time, since this place has been defeated by Zhang Yan, then he is a member of the Black Mountain Army, and he must put on a good posture.
The Guangling County Commander walked out of the mansion with a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhang Yan, he bowed down and said: "Guangling County Commander Wang Zheng, I've seen my lord!" "Etiquette is in place, and the standard subordinate sees the posture of the superior.
In fact, Wang Zheng is not wrong to do this. Although Zhang Yan was born in a yellow scarf, wasn't he recruited by Emperor Han Ling later? Now he still has the official position of a big man! Wang Zheng is just a small county order, and it is nothing to salute when he sees Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan didn't have so much effort to spend here, Yuan Shao's side would soon get the news, and he must take Dai County and Fanyang County before he rushed to help, otherwise these two places would be occupied by Yuan Shao, and his Black Mountain Army would be greatly suppressed.
On the side of the couch, it allows others to sleep peacefully, the south of Jizhou is the territory of the Montenegrin army, and Yuan Shao's desire to use these two counties to contain the Montenegrin army is destined to be shattered!
"That's it! Defend the city for me, except for my Montenegrin army, no one else is allowed to enter the city! After that, Zhang Yan went out of Beicheng with a horse and went towards another county seat.
And the Montenegrin Army, in addition to the more than 1,000 people left behind, the rest of the tens of thousands of elites continued to march towards the next destination!
Just after Zhang Yan defeated half of the Dai County, Yuan Shao received the news and was shocked for a while.
Originally, I wanted to go back to my hometown to repair it first, and then send troops to go later, after all, Gongsun Chan was defeated by himself, and there was no way to stop him in a short time.
Unexpectedly, after the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch, his results were actually received by the Montenegrin army, anger, anxiety, eagerness, all kinds of uneasy emotions surged into Yuan Shao's heart, and at this time, he didn't have the heart to continue to work with Zhou Chen, face is important, but territory is also very important!
"Retire! Kill me back! Yuan Shaobao pointed his sword and was about to retreat.
How could Zhou Chen let him get his wish? Not to be outdone.
"Peaceful son! Hold them back, General Zhang Yan wins time! "The combat power of Anle County has been systematically increased, and it is difficult for Yuan Shaojun to defeat it. Helplessly, most of Anle's spearmen were infantry, and Yuan Shao wanted to leave, but he couldn't keep it.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to withdraw, a sudden change occurred, Yuan Shao's back was cold, and when he turned his head, he was a young general, who had already killed behind him!!
