Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 171 The Great War is Imminent

"Chief, if you are naturalized, we are about to fight with the Han army, but you ordered me not to embarrass the people, I don't know what you mean by this!"

The strange situation in Hedong County is naturally because Zhang Yan, the big leader of the Black Mountain Army, personally issued a strict order, so that all the soldiers who went out to inspect were not allowed to harass the people in any way, even if they passed by him.

As long as the people don't take the lead, they will never be allowed to loot, let alone kill wantonly!

Whoever disobeys, be killed!

This order really shocked everyone in the Black Mountain Army, and they once felt that this Zhang Yan had surrendered to the Han Emperor behind their backs?

Or... Now all this is just a deal between Zhang Yan and Han Emperor Liu Xie?

Are they just pawns in the hands of both sides?

It's not that they have anything wrong with them, and Zhang Yan's temper is really too weird since she was captured twice!

Everyone in the Black Mountain Army didn't understand, and Zhang Yan didn't bother to explain too much, so the two sides were at a stalemate.

However, the Black Mountain Army was confused here, but on the other side, Zhuge Liang understood Zhang Yan's calculations, or Zhang Yan's thoughts...

This Zhang Yan is a little interesting, he is seeing that Yuan Benchu is no longer able to return to the sky, and he knows that he must vote for someone else at this time.

At this time, I was trapped in Hedong County, and if I left here, I am afraid that I will be dragged by us, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get over it.

If you don't leave, you can only choose to surrender to Your Majesty.

After going back and forth, he could only make a reasonable choice in the end... That's good, that's good! ”

Kong Ming's words made Liu Xie a little uncontrollable excited, and when he looked at Kong Ming, he asked the question that had worried him for a long time.

"That Zhang Yan, is he really going to surrender?"

"Surrender... One more chance! Kong Ming shook the feather fan lightly, with a bit of joy on his face, "It would be a bit arrogant to really say that he is ready to surrender, but he does have the heart to surrender."

At the very least, he wants to find a way out for the thieves under his command!

This is what he Zhang Yan thought, so Ah turned a blind eye to Du Hedong's departure, and even asked him to personally escort Du Hedong away.

Of course, now the people of Hedong County are also innocent, which is also the case.

He didn't want to offend His Majesty, and he didn't want to continue to grudge with us so that there wouldn't be any problems again in the future, but he still hadn't surrendered.

One is that he himself is embarrassed, he was captured twice, but his great reputation was finally captured again and again, and he went because of the failure of the sneak attack, or because he was betrayed.

After all, this kind of behavior still damaged his reputation as a giant of Taihang.

Now he wants to surrender, but he still needs a reasonable opportunity, at least he needs an opportunity that can convince him..."

"So, Kong Ming's so-called opportunity is that big war?"

"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang got up, "Zhang Yan is pretentious, he is a famous general in the early years of the world, he was the thief who fought for Hebei with Yuan Benchu, and he was the most powerful person in the only remaining Yellow Turban Army.

This kind of person is not to be underestimated, and he will not surrender easily, and he can only defeat him on the battlefield..."

"In that case... Then everything will be handed over to Kong Ming! ”

Liu Xie knew that this kind of thing was not what he was good at, so after a short period of silence, he still chose to leave professional things to professional people to do.

handed over the battle to Kong Ming and Xu Shu, and Kong Ming had no intention of competing with Xu Shu for merit, and directly handed over all the training and command of this soldier to Xu Shu.

And he took over Du Ji's work, and began to be responsible for the dispatch of grain and straw in the city, the management of the lives of the people in the city, and so on...

In this process, Liu Xie, who is now quite knowledgeable, also has to say that Zhuge Kongming's ability to govern is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

In this short period of time, he has been able to completely stabilize this place, whether it is the people's heart or others....

For Zhuge Liang to have such a ability, he is very recognized, but for that Xu Shu...

"In history, Xu Shu has almost withdrawn from the stage of history before he has had time to prove himself thoroughly, but this time you can see how much ability he has."

In Liu Xie's expectation and hope, this time passed little by little, and the seven years of Jian'an arrived as promised, and the cold weather slowly receded.

All this seems to mean that the big war is about to begin.

"Soldiers, array!"

In March of the seventh year of Jian'an, after months of training, the gates of Pingyang City were slowly opened again.

Xu Shu, who was wearing armor and holding a sword, rode out on a horse, and behind him were a group of soldiers who had been trained, spears, halberds, and hundreds of elite cavalry formed by thousands of war horses...

Of course, the most important thing is the crossbowman that Xu Shu has trained at a huge cost during this time, the crossbowman with a huge pedal crossbow has a serious face, and the pedal crossbow in his hand seems to be able to help them tear apart all enemies!

"The Han army is out?" In the Black Mountain camp on the other side, Zhang Yan, who was also wearing armor, also had the same serious face, "Since they have already taken it out, then we can't let them underestimate it!" ”

With Zhang Yan's words, everyone in this camp suddenly stirred, no matter what their relationship with Zhang Yan was.

At this time, they have to go to the battlefield to fight with the Han army, which is even more exciting for this group of giant bandits.

"The general really wants to fight to the death with the Han Emperor?" At this time, Yang Feng, the captain of the Black Mountain, also stood up directly, and his attitude also became a little tough, not only his tone was tough, but even his eyes became firm.

"Yang Feng, what do you mean by that?"

"The last general doesn't mean anything, he just wants to tell the general that if the general really wants to fight to the death, we will definitely fight to the death!

But if all the general wants is to kill people with a knife... Then please..."

"Do you think that Emperor Han will be the knife in my Zhang Yan's hand?" Zhang Yan directly interrupted Yang Feng's words, looked at the people in front of him with a sneer, and finally slowly stood up.

"Yan knows that you have a lot of opinions about a certain family during this time!

I also know that a certain family will not let you rob the people of Hedong County, and even be dissatisfied with their lack of guilt.

But you must not forget that the purpose of our becoming thieves is not to overthrow some corrupt and stupid dynasty, not to kill some mediocre emperor.

I'm waiting to live!

After so many years, we can already live, so we have all forgotten the original purpose.

But today... We are trapped in this Hedong County, we can leave, but if we leave, we will die in the mountains and forests for the rest of our lives!

The people who can still stand here today, we are all killed from the sea of corpses and blood, so desperately just to survive, to live better.

Only by capturing the Han Emperor Liu Xie alive can we survive better, and can I no longer have to worry that my children and grandchildren are thieves.

But will I be able to win?

If we fail, will we still be able to survive?

This is what we don't want to do, if we really fail, we can't just admit it, I have to live, I have to let more people live.

Don't do it to the fullest, it's the last thing someone can do for you! ”

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he sighed directly at everyone, and then his face became extremely serious.

"Remember! Today, we will fight to the death with the Han Emperor under this Pingyang City, and we will rise from then on if we are unlucky... Ben will lead the charge! ”

"Get out of the camp and kill the enemy!"

After Zhang Yan's order, the camp of the Black Mountain Army also slowly opened its own camp gate, and then the army rushed out to the outside...

"I'm the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, Zhang Leigong!"

"I'm the captain of Montenegro, Yang Feng!"

"I am the Black Mountain White Sparrow!"

"The Black Mountain Division is here..."

......

One after another, the generals and colonels of the Montenegrin army rushed out, and then roared angrily at the big Han soldiers and horses in front of them, announcing their names.

At the same time, it also caused a burst of noise and exclamation from the Black Mountain bandits, and their morale began to slowly become more high.

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

In the end, in the sound of shouts, the Black Mountain army finally divided into two columns, and then moved the middle road out of the way, and let the Yan Zema slowly walk out of it.

A tall horse, with black armor and iron armor, and a spear in hand, it is really majestic.

"General!"

"General!"

"General!"

In another burst of shouts, the morale of the Black Mountain army finally reached its peak, and the fierce momentum all proved that the prestige of this army was not just boasting.

It's just that looking at the majesty of the Black Mountain Army, Xu Shu, the commander of the Han Army, couldn't help but sneer.

Even that serious face became a little more relaxed, and he whispered directly to the generals around him.

"This huge Black Mountain Army has such a great reputation, but after a long time, it will be a bit of a bluff!

What kind of murderous name is just a few shouts in the end, if you want the army to be in the army but not in the army, if you want to command without a command, this kind of soldiers and horses... It's really ridiculous and generous! ”

Xu Shu's words suddenly caused a burst of laughter, but all the generals who laughed didn't notice it, and there was no seriousness and caution in Xu Shu's eyes.
