Chapter 110: The Good People of Montenegro
Montenegrin Army··· Zhang Yanbu···
It's been two days, Xu Rong has been in Zhang Yan's big tent, and he doesn't explain his intentions, just eat, drink and have fun; Thinking that there were 20,000 Xiliang Xiaojian outside the barracks and tens of thousands of Cao Cao's military horses, Zhang Yan didn't dare to hurt Xu Rong, but he was just entertained;
On the first day, at the first meal, Zhang Yan used the best yellow beef to entertain Xu Rong, and at night, it was still beef, but the quality was not good; On the second day, the first meal, Xu Rong tasted that the meat he ate was horse meat, and at night, he ate hare meat on the mountain...
Xu Rong sneered again and again in his heart, this group of poor people couldn't even wear pants, and they slapped their swollen faces and became fat...
The next day, Xu Rong got up early, because his subordinates came with a news that surprised him, in the battle of southern Yanzhou, the commander of the Cao army, Xiahou Dun, listened to the plan of the military advisor Li Yu, broke the sealed hill, killed tens of thousands, and pursued at the tail level, and actually beat Yuan Shu all the way to Shouchun! What a thing to believe!
But with this incident, the purpose of his coming here will be even smoother!
"General Zhang!" , Xu Rong stepped into Zhang Yan's big tent and called with a smile; Zhang Yan's soldiers rolled their eyes angrily: This foodie, why hasn't he left? It hurt Lao Tzu to go into the mountains to hunt game for him, but we could only watch him eat and drink gruel by ourselves...
The people's grievances are infinite, and Xu Rong trembled for no reason... wanted to go to the toilet, but as soon as he wanted to leave, Zhang Yan enthusiastically pulled him down: "General Xu!" I slept well! Come! Come! Come! Please take a seat! ”
Xu Rong's face was bitter, this soak in urine is too inopportune~~~ In resentment...
What Xu Rong is thinking, Zhang Yan can not know! Zhang Yan is also one of the few self-taught, typical mud-legged generals in the Yellow Turban Army, who can see the overall situation clearly, although there are some small cunning, but he is also a good man who values love and righteousness... Zhang Ning second? Perhaps!
"General Xu, don't be upset about what I said!" , Zhang Yan asked with a wink of small eyes;
Xu Rongqiang endured the discomfort of his body and smiled reluctantly: "General Zhang, please say, a certain family should know everything and say everything!" In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was to find some excuse and go to the toilet first;
"General Xu, your father-in-law... Prime Minister Dong Cheng··· has returned to heaven, you yourself are adrift again, this time you help Cao Gong, I don't know... Isn't it? Zhang Yan floated over with a look you know, and the generals under his command also looked at Xu Rong, as if there was a slight expectation in his eyes;
Xu Rong shook his head again and again, and smiled bitterly: "On that day, in the battle of Xingyang, I was defeated by Cao Gong, and even I was captured alive. ”
"Cao Gong is far-sighted and insightful, and he is a generous and uninhibited hero! Since Prime Minister Dong Cheng returned to heaven, why don't I want to find a good home? It's just that the old lord has not repaid his kindness, how can he do it to others? ”
"Oh! That's it! Zhang Yan nodded thoughtfully, and stopped talking; Of course, Xu Rong knew what Zhang Yan was thinking, if they spoke first, they were afraid that Cao Cao would look down on them, and for the sake of face, they would not say it easily;
Xu Rong said secretly, the timing was just right: "General Zhang! In fact, I came on behalf of Cao Gong, what are you doing, you and I also understand in our hearts, and I ask you in my personal capacity: Is there anyone else in your Montenegrin Army except for Cao Gong, regardless of identity? ”
Zhang Yan shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid not!" ”
"Then how much food do you have in the army? Can it still be consumed? Xu Rong continued to ask;
"I'm afraid I won't be able to consume it!" , Zhang Yan knew that she couldn't hide it from Xu Rong, so she had to answer truthfully;
"Since there is not much food and grass, and there is no supply, how are you going to live? Attack Yanzhou? Do you think the current combat effectiveness of the Montenegrin Army can beat Cao Gong on the opposite side? You know, just now I learned the news that the battle situation in southern Yanzhou has changed dramatically! Yuan Shu! was beaten and fled, all the way to Shouchun! ”
"Boom!" , Zhang Yan's Chinese army tent suddenly erupted in an exclamation, exclamations, doubters abounded, when they were young, they were deeply frightened, more than 100,000 well-equipped and fortified Yuan Shujun was actually not, only less than half of their opponents of the Cao army, can we?
"Is that true? General Xu! You're not kidding! That's more than 100,000 well-equipped Yuan Shujun who are still holding on to the city! Not more than 100,000 cattle and sheep! Zhang Yan asked in surprise, half-stretching her body;
Xu Rong nodded affirmatively: "When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it, but Cao Gong still has Yuan Shu's sword there, and his Chinese army Daxu, how can we not believe it?" It is said that Yuan Shu himself was so frightened that he threw away his armor and was embarrassed! ”
Zhang Yan's eyes rolled sharply, she thought about it for a long time, and her voice was hoarse: "I can't take so many brothers to risk, General Xu, can you understand?" I need Cao Gong to give me assurance! We don't need big fish and big meat, we just want to live peacefully, we can follow his command, what the sword points to, we don't hesitate, but we don't want to be 'cannon fodder'..."
Xu Rong looked at Zhang Yan, who was a little sad: "The general is benevolent!" Cao Gong said, the Montenegrin Army can be its own army like the Qingzhou Army, all the conditions are the same as the Qingzhou Army, maybe not very good, but your identity is... Good people! ”
In fact, this persuasion is like an adulterer looking for an adulteress - hit it off, there are not so many twists and turns at all, everything that is said is just talking about the issue of treatment, and doing a face-saving project, it will not be too embarrassing, an army of 100,000 people will surrender without fighting an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it will not be a joke to say it?
After everything was negotiated, Cao Cao and Zhang Yan met outside the sour date, Cao Cao praised Zhang Yan's deep understanding of righteousness, awarded him the rank of general, and Zhang Yan also said that he bowed down to Cao Cao's height of less than seven feet, and expressed his willingness to serve...
Perhaps the most excited are the ordinary soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, after the destruction of the lair, they are like walking corpses who don't know where to go, at this time they have found a sustenance, full of hope to live, and their future lives can go on...
"We are good citizens! We are good citizens...", a simple cheer but exhausted the bitterness of the Montenegrin army, yes! They have been looking forward to this day for too long! Seven years? Eight years? It's been years!
Cao Cao patted Zhang Yan, whose eyes were red: "Come with me Cao Cao!" Good citizens! ”
