Chapter 423: Black Mountain Zhang Yan

Montenegro, located at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, a group of valleys, mountain roads can lead to Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, for mountain bandits, here is a treasure place that can be attacked and retreated.

Zhang Yan of Montenegro inherited the subordinates of Zhang Niujiao of the Yellow Turban in the early years, contacted bandits in Changshan and Zhao County, and integrated a large number of Jizhou deserters and rebels, and the army grew to nearly one million people, and finally became a threat to the Montenegrin bandits in the counties north of the Yellow River.

In the early years, the Montenegrin thieves reclaimed the barren mountains, lived in seclusion in the cottages, and went out to plunder.

As more Jizhou troops dragged their families into the group, Zhang Yan, who was already unwilling to be a thief, gradually changed his goal and set the crusade against Yuan Shao as the action plan of the Montenegrin army.

Although looting is still indispensable, it is usually under the banner of Yuan Shao.

To say that Zhang Yan was also born in the Yellow Turban, but he was wrapped into the Yellow Turban team when he was very young, and since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Zhang Yan has wanted to abandon the thief and turn into a regular more than once.

Especially after the white wave thief turned positive, seeing that Yang Fengdu had become a general of the chariot cavalry, Zhang Yan's thoughts were even stronger.

And if you want to turn positive, you have to go to Luoyang or Chang'an.

Luoyang, right? Don't dare to go.

Back then, Liu Cang's killing of the Yellow Turban was too fierce, Zhang Yan didn't dare to go, and the leaders and generals under his command didn't dare to go.

Chang'an, right?

Made, Chang'an seemed to be poorer than them by Guo Yan and Li Dao back then. Going to the past, I'm afraid we still have to rely on us to feed them, what about the old and young people in our family?

There was no suitable reason, and the Jizhou army hated Yuan Shao to the core, in order to stabilize the army's heart, Zhang Yan took advantage of Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao to stab Yuan Shao's waist.

But seeing that Yuan Shao is getting bigger and bigger, Gongsun Zhan is ready to go abroad, and the Montenegrin Army is still a Montenegrin thief in the mouth of the outside world.

Zhang Yan was distressed.

And without the containment of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao collected all the troops from the two states, and it was a matter of time before he turned around and attacked the Black Mountain Army.

Although the Montenegrin army did have a million people, seventy percent of them were old and weak. In terms of soldiers, there are probably only about 50,000 Jizhou rebels whose armaments can reach the regular level of the Han army, and the rest are almost all reckless lords with enthusiasm.

For Jizhou, it is still necessary to fight, at least to occupy some cities, to prevent Yuan Shao from entering the mountains unscrupulously, after all, those old and young in the mountains can't afford to withstand disasters.

Can you fight? Zhang Yan has no confidence in winning at all.

Just when Zhang Yan was at a loss, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and even the generals of the Hussar Mansion sent letters of appointment one after another.

[In view of the general environment,

In the Montenegrin Gathering Hall, Zhang Yan gathered the leaders and generals of the Montenegrin Army, and gathered a lineup of nearly 100 people to receive envoys from all sides.

Zhang Yan knew very well that these princes' forces were all masters who ate people and did not spit out bones, but in contrast, it was Liu Bei, who came in person, who made Zhang Yan closer.

"Haha, everyone, the plaque of this righteous hall should be replaced, anyway, it is also the military government, and the general's plaque should be changed earlier." Everyone entered the hall, and Yang Xiu, under Cao Cao, took the lead and laughed and sang at the entrance.

Yang Xiu had a familiar attitude, followed Cao Hong by his side, and his words were frivolous, but there was no shortage of happy people in the hall.

"Hehe, you have worked for a long time, the world is in chaos, hundreds of people have gone into the mountains to avoid disasters, you have taken care of one side, and there are countless living people. In contrast, I am deeply ashamed that all the kings are worshiped by Liu."

Yang Xiu spoke, Liu Bei was not lagging behind, Brother Beibei played more ruthlessly, bowed down, and directly made the Montenegrin people present dare not be present, and hurriedly got up and returned the salute with Liu Bei.

"Don't dare, don't dare to be a great gift." Montenegro didn't even bother to sign up, and spoke out in unison.

Yang Xiu's eyelids jumped: "Made, I met a ruthless person."

"Alas~ Don't be humble, but you don't deserve to be called a king. General Cao has both ability and political integrity, and Xuzhou should be governed by General Cao, and Bei is now only a county official." Liu Bei sighed, and many people in the hall looked at Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu's eyelids jumped even more.

Liu Bei said miserably, and he brought the most people among the people who came, including Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Chen Qun, and Zhang Zhao

Cloud. With the previous self-deprecation, it shows the solemnity of the visit.

Well, in the past two years, the Mi family has been run by the Chen family's Zhen family, looking left and right, Mi Zhu took refuge in Liu Bei in the end.

Chen Qun went to Xuzhou, although he lost Xuzhou, but Liu Bei went to Yuzhou to gain a foothold. Chen Qun was not absorbed by Boss Cao, and was still mixed with Liu Bei.

Yang Xiu and Liu Bei were all very dramatic, and Zhang Yan, the first person in the hall, didn't care to greet Liu Bei and others, and the eyes of Montenegro couldn't help but look at Pang De, who faintly represented Liu Cang.

The old two over there have opened their mouths, isn't it your turn?

General Pang De was dressed as a warrior knife, and his style was rigorous, while Xu Shu was followed by him.

Seeing everyone coming, Pang De frowned slightly, his eyes swept over the black mountain people in the hall, and his eyes were aimed at the key points of the people, and the back of the necks of the people who watched seemed to be blowing straight away.

"Ahem." Xu Shu coughed lightly, and Pang De withdrew his eyes.

"Winter!" The sound of the war knife suddenly fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.

"Yuan Shao led nomads into Jizhou and disturbed the people of Jizhou. If you want to attack Yuan Shao, you must not plunder the county." When Pang De said coldly, everyone in the hall frowned and felt uncomfortable, but Pang De did not finish speaking, Liu Cangwei and everyone did not say much for the time being.

"The lord has an order to give the Black Mountain army 5,000 barrel armor, 1,000 chain mail, 3,000 leather shields, 5,000 spears, 1,000 crossbows, and 1,000 war hammers." Pound said again, and the hall gasped.

"You.

。 What do you do? You didn't say anything, you're here to show off your wealth?" Not to mention the Montenegrin people, even Liu Bei and Yang Xiu and their entourage were all uncomfortable.

Tube armor is also armor, put it in the regular army, you can be an elite when you wear tube armor, plus a thousand chain mail, these things are expensive, and there are thousands of crossbows, now the princes are fighting, and it is difficult to buy that thing with money.

It is no exaggeration to say that the dispatch of this batch of armaments will directly increase the combat strength of the Montenegrin Army by 30%.

"I don't know.

。 I don't know what King Dongping means?" Yang Xiu and Liu Bei didn't let Zhang Yan lose his temper, but when he arrived at Pang De, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Yan's forehead and asked tentatively.

Is Liu Cang's things easy to take? Liu Cang's plundering of wealth, what kind of virtue, the black mountain thieves from the Yellow Turban couldn't be clearer. The Montenegrin people in the hall were also cautious about the gifts sent by Liu Cang.

Pang De glanced at Zhang Yan and pursed his lips, as if he was too lazy to say anything, causing Zhang Yan a cold scene.

Xu Shu stood up with a chuckle: "Hehe, General Pang has already explained that when Yu'er and other armaments are fighting, don't plunder the people."

"There are many plains in Jizhou, and the nomadic army comes and goes like the wind, and they are good at riding and shooting. In the end, most of the officers and men in the Montenegrin army are from Han Chinese people."

"The lord of our family specially allocated the armor stomach, but also to let those people who have no choice but to join the army have more means to save their lives." Xu Shu explained, and turned to look at Zhang Yan.

"Can General Zhang understand the meaning of the lord?" Xu Shu smiled, as if he was pointing.

「。

。」 Zhang Yan was silent, and the faces of some of the Black Mountain people in the hall changed suddenly.

What does Liu Cang mean? Well, they really get it.

Liu Cang sent them armaments, but these armaments were for the Han Chinese.

This sounds a bit like nonsense, but the Montenegrin Army belongs to the combined army that was integrated by Zhang Yan, and there are a large number of defeated Yellow Turban soldiers at the beginning. And the main ingredient of the yellow scarf back then, there is no need to say more.

Sure enough, Liu Cang is still the same Liu Cang, some of the Montenegrin crowd are happy, some people don't care, and some people are also resistant, but they don't dare to say more.

To say that Liu Cang's distinction between Han people and foreigners who returned to Han is definitely a character defect in the eyes of many people, and even a stupid behavior of asking for trouble.

In the early years, Liu Cang also paid more attention to this aspect, but as his strength increased, Liu Cang began to let himself go a little again.

"Gifted by King Xie Dongping, Yan knows." Zhang Yan nodded in response.

Please sit down with the three parties, but Zhang Yan also secretly had a headache: This Dongping King is simply doing something.
