Chapter 375: Reserve a backhand to rescue the crisis

Due to the emptiness of Jizhou, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army saw that there was an opportunity, so they couldn't bear the loneliness, and for a while, the land of Jizhou fell into dire straits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There were Black Mountain, Huanglong, Bai Bo, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Qingniujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Sili, Pengzai, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baique, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, Wulu, Li Damu, Bai Huan, Qigu, Kuqi, Luoshi disciples, and the valleys, which are innumerable...... The big ones are 20,000 or 30,000, and the small ones are 6 or 7,000, and they are more in contact with the thieves in the valleys of Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi, and are called the Black Mountain Army.

Among them, Zhang Niujiao is the most powerful, he calls himself a general, and joins forces with Chu Yan, a Zhending person. The combined army formed by the two was like a bamboo, conquering several large and small cities, and approaching the Yuan clan of Changshan National Administration. The rest of the people from all walks of life also took advantage of the situation, and more than a dozen cities in Zhongshan, Changshan, and Zhao County fell.

Huangfu Song was shocked when he heard the report, if he insisted on going his own way, his lair would definitely become a den of thieves. How can you still care about following the holy decree to crusade against Li Yi? Huangfu Song ordered: "The soldiers and horses in front of the army and the rear team rushed to the foothills of Taihang Mountain day and night. ”

Yuan Shao came with Li Dajun, he was looking forward to eliminating Li Yi in one fell swoop, but the caprice emperor Fu Song issued a retreat order, and hurriedly dissuaded: "The emperor's order cannot be violated, the grace of heaven cannot be forgotten, the thief's nest is close at hand, how can it fall short?" ”

"The thieves broke my city and plundered my people, and they didn't go to crusade in the first place, but they regarded a happy land as a den of thieves, which is really unreasonable!" Huangfu Song said angrily.

Seeing that Huangfu Song, who was proficient in the world, also became angry, Yuan Shao did not dare to make a mistake, so he had to return south with the army. And his ill-intentioned trick to pull Li Yi off the horse can only be temporarily put on hold.

Zhao Yun was appointed as the first officer by Huangfu Song, and he led 5,000 cavalry to rush all the way to the Yuan clan. Due to the depth of the city, it has not yet been captured by Zhang Niujiao. The arrival of Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses greatly boosted the defenders' might, but Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan's combined army suffered a heavy blow, because of the siege of the city for several days, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and were hit by Zhao Yun's army, so they had to abandon the city and leave, and the army retreated to Shiyi.

On the way to Zhang Niujiao's retreat, Yuan Shao led the army to arrive, and the two armies encountered a fight, because Yuan Shao was the new force, and Zhang Niujiao's soldiers retreated to a great demoralization, and was finally defeated by Yuan Shao. On the way to defeat, Zhang Niujiao was stopped by Zhang He, and the two generals fought more than ten times, Zhang He shouted, and cut off Zhang Niujiao's arm with a knife in his hand!

It happened that Chu Yan arrived quickly and fought hard to rescue the seriously injured Zhang Niujiao. The army was defeated again and again, Shiyi was also broken by officers and soldiers, and the Montenegrin army had to retreat into the mountains.

Due to excessive blood loss, Zhang Niujiao, who was forty miles away, was dying, and when he was dying, he said to his subordinates: "Chu Yan and I are like father and son, he fought hard to save me and broke out of the encirclement, and he was loyal to me." Chu Yan has courage and knowledge, and can be the leader of the Black Mountain Army! After finishing speaking, he died of anger.

Although he was looking forward to being the leader of the Montenegrin Army all day long, who knew that his dream would come true, Chu Yan felt tremendous pressure. Zhang Baiqi is Zhang Niujiao's subordinate, he is not by his uncle's side, this position belongs to himself, but Zhang Baiqi will definitely not be convinced, if he leads the people and horses to take the opportunity to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, his brothers are newly defeated, there are many injured, and the newly attached people have not returned to their hearts. If you provoke an incident, you may be more than lucky.

Chu Yan immediately did two things, immediately changed her surname to Zhang Mingyan, respected Zhang Niujiao as her father-in-law, and buried the old leader with the gift of father and son. This trick really worked, and those subordinates who were loyal to Zhang Niujiao finally worked with Zhang Yan with one heart and one mind.

After subduing Zhang Niujiao's subordinates, Zhang Yan urgently ordered Li Damu to quickly get closer to him. Li Damu is Zhang Yan's childhood friend. The two have been mixed together for more than ten years, sharing life and death and weal and woe, and they have long been close brothers. It was only because Li Damu couldn't show his love that the two had to go their separate ways.

Li Damu got the order and moved closer to Zhang Yanjun rain or shine. At the same time, Zhang Baiqi also got the information of his uncle's violent death, and heard that Chu Yan, the enemy of life and death, sat on the chair of the leader of the Montenegrin Army. And this shameless thief, in order to achieve his goal, actually changed his surname to recognize his father! Zhang Baiqi's eyes were cracked, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and led the army to rush to Jingcheng Mountain, vowing to kill Zhang Yan and regain the position.

Or Li Damu arrived first, the three armies converged into one, its strength should not be underestimated, when Zhang Baiqi arrived, he saw tens of thousands of people stationed at the foot of the mountain, knowing that the general trend had gone, he scolded Zhang Yan for a bloody squirt, vented the resentment in his chest, and had to lead the troops away.

As the new leader, the foundation was not yet secure, so Zhang Yan had to act cautiously and tolerate Zhang Baiqi's presumptuousness. And this magnanimity was praised by the leaders of the Montenegrin army.

Due to the internal strife of the Montenegrin army, several main forces either stood still or attacked for a long time, giving the officers and troops an opportunity to take advantage of them, and those cities occupied by the Montenegrin army were recaptured by the officers and soldiers. However, the Montenegrin Army is based on Taihang Mountain, and although Huangfu Song expelled it, he couldn't do anything for a while!

The two armies held each other for several months, and Huangfu Song saw that there was no progress in the war, so he had to play a real game. Seeing that the Montenegrin army was in great difficulty, the ministers of the DPRK and China also had no good solutions.

Sikong Xu Xiangjin said: "Zhang Yan and other Black Mountain thieves, although they are very difficult to peace, they are just reckless, not elbows and armpits, but scabies. Your Majesty can appease him! ”

At this time, the world was in turmoil, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled from Xiliang, and the army marched into Meiyang. With Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot cavalry, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and other generals led the troops to recruit him. Jiangxia Zhao Ci rebelled, killed Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, and Jingzhou assassinated Shi ****.

The biggest headache for Liu Hong is that Zhang Liang has revived and made waves in Qinghe, Weijun, and Ping'an. Taking advantage of the fact that Huangfu Song led the army to conquer Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, the southern part of Jizhou was empty, and the flames of war were burned all over southern Hebei. The scattered Yellow Turban Army, and the Taiping Sect members who did not dare to raise an incident, responded to the call of the general and rose up one after another, and the soldiers and horses quickly grew to 100,000.

Liu Hong is already anxious, taking care of one thing and losing the other, and the Han Dynasty is politically corrupt, the army consumes a lot of food and salary, and the imperial treasury is empty, that is, there are soldiers to be recruited, and there is no food to eat and no money to use! Liu Hong had no choice but to adopt Xu Xiang's words, worship Zhang Yan as a general in peace, stabilize it first, but have the energy to deal with it in the future. Jianping's Li Yi also had no time to take care of it, and urgently sent an order to Emperor Fu Song to lead the army south to crusade against the thief Zhang Liang.

Li Yi laughed and said: "The faint monarch is reversed in black and white, and he is so mad that he sent a large army to disturb me Jianping!" I didn't expect a fire in his backyard, this is really self-inflicted, God gave him retribution! ”

With the assistance of the capable men and virtuous ministers, Jianping was governed in an orderly manner, although there were floods, hailstorms and droughts in individual areas, but looking at the whole territory, Zhongping still obtained a bumper harvest in the second year. (To be continued.) )
