As a matter of fact. What worries Zhao Xing is not only the greedy eyes of the evil neighbors in the north who have thrown at Bingzhou, but also Zhang Yan, who has been dormant in the depths of Montenegro, is also not worrying.

Zhao Xing really couldn't imagine how this group of bandits and bandits-born guys could endure the hard life of hiding in the Taihang Mountains, and they were able to endure it for many years, just avoiding the great plague that rampant in Youzhou and Jizhou.

After the in-depth investigation of the shadows, there are no less than 80,000 people who still follow Zhang Yan as a bandit, all of whom are loyal to Zhang Yan and obey their words. When there was no strong enemy besieging in Bingzhou, Zhang Yan never provoked Zhao Xing with great interest, and strictly restrained his subordinates to only rob Yuan Shao of Jizhou to the east, and never to harass Zhao Xing to the west.

Yuan Shao, who was deeply affected by Zhang Yan, finally adopted a method similar to appeasement, and actually exchanged it for a period of peace. Yuan Shao's approach was to send an envoy to contact Zhang Yan, saying that Jizhou could regularly provide food and necessary daily necessities to the Montenegrin army, and the condition was that Zhang Yan restrained his subordinates and did not make wind and rain on the boundaries of Jizhou, which made the people panic, and the common people did not even have the intention of cultivating the fields.

Zhang Yan actually accepted Yuan Shao's suggestion, stayed in the Black Mountain in a proper manner, and became a bandit who kept to himself. In fact, Zhang Yan also had his own ideas, but with the help of the ladder that Yuan Shao stretched over, he successfully achieved the purpose of preserving his strength and waiting for the opportunity.

The rapid demise of Zhang Jiao and others made Zhang Yan see the huge risks that he needed to face in "making a revolution" with mud legs. Just by merging one Zhao Xing, he can kill three times in a row between talking and laughing, not to mention that there are military strongmen such as Lu Zhi in the imperial court. For the Montenegrin army, the end result of attacking everywhere and making enemies is to disappear as quickly as Zhang Jiao. Since the timing and situation are not ripe, it is better to stick to the black mountain, seize the time to train the troops, and wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Zhao Xing kept spying on Zhang Yan's movements in Montenegro, and Zhang Yan also kept paying attention to the situation in the state. Although he couldn't learn all the systems and military systems of the Zhenbei Army, Zhang Yan, who had a flexible mind, still found something worth learning from the several wars that the Zhenbei Army had demonstrated.

With the full support of several hardcore subordinates, Zhang Yan drastically adjusted and reformed the internal affairs of the Montenegrin Army. Zhang Yan first completely abolished the bandit practice of forming an army according to the mountain, canceled the titles of each cottage, and collectively called the Black Mountain Army.

In the past, more than 10,000 people in the four cottages of Wulu, Baihuan, Qigu, and Kuda were easily annihilated by Gao Shun and his recruits, and the biggest problem was that they fought separately, without a unified command, and the bandits were too accustomed to it;

Now the Montenegrin army has broken the restrictions of the cottage and has a unified command system, although it is not very perfect, but it is already a qualitative leap for this army of displaced people and bandits. The Montenegrin Army, which has always been looked down upon by Zhao Xing, even almost let Zhao Xing capsize in the gutter, and finally lost the battle to defend the state.

The second thing Zhang Yan did was to imitate the practice of the 80,000 Black Mountain Army in Zhenbei Army, and configure them into six divisions: Niujiao, Feiyan, Baibo, Baiqi, Baique, and Baihan. Among them, the Niujiao Army and the Feiyan Army each numbered 20,000, which were directly commanded by Zhang Yan, and the corporal and soldiers under his command were all elite Montenegro, and the Niujiao Army was good at attacking, and the Feiyan Army was good at shooting; in addition, the number of the four armies of Baicai, Baibo, Baique, and Baihan was 10,000 each, and the four confidant generals under Zhang Yan, Bai Bo, Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and Du Chang served as the main generals.

After such an integration, the Montenegrin Army has further highlighted Zhang Yan's status and role as the commander, ensured the smooth flow of military orders, and is also a very important link in governing the army. Zhang Yan's vision is also vicious enough, whoever is the most powerful will learn whomever he wants. Since the Zhenbei Army claims to be invincible all over the world, it has naturally become the object of Zhang Yan's learning and imitation. If Zhao Xing knew that Zhang Yan was learning from him like this, he didn't know whether he should be proud or sigh?

The third thing Zhang Yan did was to use all kinds of furs, medicinal materials and mountain goods produced in the Taihang Mountains through secret bargaining with Yuan Shao, and after six years of successive accumulation, he finally replaced the Montenegrin Army with a unified Jizhou-produced weapon. Zhang Yan's ability to do this has a lot to do with Yuan Shao's intentional or unintentional covert support.

After doing these three things, the Montenegrin Army led by Zhang Yan has changed from a peasant rebel army to an armed separatist force in nature. In the process of six years of contact with Yuan Shao's forces, Zhang Yan and Jizhou have more or less established a fixed and long-term contact relationship, and the two sides have reached a tacit understanding between their eyebrows.

Since the beginning of the convergence of the East Road coalition army in Guangping, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to inform Zhang Yan that at this critical moment, he must not cause trouble to Jizhou, as long as Zhang Yan'an guards himself, and when the imperial army has pacified Zhao Xing, the Yuan family will come forward to help Zhang Yan speak, and let the Son of Heaven recruit the Black Mountain Army.

Yuan Shao's condition directly hit Zhang Yan's heart, for the future of the Black Mountain Army, the best result and way out is to justifiably change from a bandit to a regular army that eats imperial grain. In fact, in historical records, Zhang Yan eventually led the Montenegrin army to serve Cao Cao, and as a result, he helped Cao Heizi kill Yuan Shao.

In this time and space, Zhao Xing's strong rise in Bingzhou directly led to all the forces that were afraid of Zhao Xing intentionally or unintentionally huddling together to keep warm, and Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao, who should have been immortal, were able to urinate into a pot, I have to say that creation is really making people.

Originally, Zhang Yan wanted to stay in Montenegro in peace and watch the imperial court coalition and Zhao Xing perform a dog-eat-dog show, but recently Yuan Shao sent a messenger, which brought Zhang Yan even more exciting chips, which made Zhang Yan unable to sit still for a while.

Yuan Shao appointed Xu You, an important adviser under his command, to Montenegro this time. With Xu You's good eloquence, he can fool people regardless of the east, south, and northwest, and Zhang Yan was also enthusiastically moved by Xu You's conditions.

Xu You hinted to Zhang Yan that now the Eastern Route Coalition Army attacking Huguan was in difficulty, Gongsun Zan had returned to Youzhou with his men and horses, and Tai Shici had taken the Qingxu army to completely take refuge in Bingzhou. The more difficult it is, if the Montenegrin Army suddenly strikes out of Taihang Mountain and enters Yanmen County and Taiyuan County in the northeast of Bingzhou to make trouble, then the Zhenbei Army, which is already short of troops, will definitely be in chaos and quickly move towards the road of destruction. And the Montenegrin Army, which has made great contributions, will naturally be impressed by the imperial court, not only will the matter of Zhao'an be more certain, but it may also carve out a good territory for the Montenegrin Army, such as Yanmen County and Dingxiang County in the north of Bingzhou......

For the rich land and state, as long as it is a separatist force, they all have the dream of catching a big bite in their mouths, including Zhang Yan. The sophisticated weapons produced in Bingzhou are really eye-catching, the high-headed Malaysia produced in Bingzhou is really eye-catching, and the food and daily necessities produced in Bingzhou are really eye-catching......

There are too many things that make people all over the world blush from the state. Now that his heart has been moved, and the greed buried in the depths of his heart has finally overcome reason and prudence, it is reasonable that Zhang Yan decided to do something and plan to tear off a few pieces of big fat from the rich Bingzhou.

The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, how should Zhao Xing, who was already very struggling, face the crazy attack of the Xianbei people and the 200,000 horses of the Black Mountain Army?
