Cao Ang couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhang Yan say that he only had 150,000 Black Mountain troops.

Originally, it was thought that after Zhang Yan and others moved to Julu County, they would be disintegrated by the Tuntian policy.

After all, the Montenegrin Army was originally composed of homeless people and bandits, and those homeless people had the opportunity to own their own land, so they would naturally pursue the policy of tuntian.

Originally, Cao Ang thought that under the influence of the Tuntian policy, it would be good if the Montenegrin army could have seventy or eighty thousand left, but it turned out that there were still more than 100,000.

Zhang Yan saw Cao Ang frowning, and hurriedly explained: "Major General Mingjian, after I arrived in Julu County with the Black Mountain soldiers and civilians, they were affected by the Tuntian policy and left the Black Mountain Army one after another. ”

"In this matter, the county guard and the county lieutenant of Julu can testify for the last general, because after they left the Black Mountain Army, they were absorbed by Julu County and obtained household registration, and some people also joined the defenders of Julu County."

"The rest of these people actually want to leave, but this is the time to miss the spring planting, and it is no longer realistic for them to leave the Montenegrin Army and go to Tuntian, so they stayed."

"The last general feels that if this is waited until next year's spring planting, the last general's subordinates are afraid that there will only be 30,000 or 50,000 people left."

After listening to Zhang Yan's explanation, Cao Ang nodded.

If this spring planting season is missed, it will indeed affect the weakening of the Montenegrin Army, after all, there is no way to carry out tuntian, even if they leave the Montenegrin Army, there is no land to plant, and they must starve to death?

If you stay in the Montenegrin Army, at least you will still have military salaries, and you won't have to spend money on food and accommodation.

After thinking about this, Cao Ang waved his hand at Zhang Yan and said, "It's okay, I know it's not easy for you, so in this battle, all the grain and grass of the Black Mountain Army under your command are provided by the imperial court." ”

"Moreover, you can rest assured, I will not deduct the slightest bit from your military rations and salaries, and the treatment of your Montenegrin Army is the same as that of the regular army of the imperial court!"

"In the end, when you fight with the Xianbei army or tribe, you can dispose of the spoils yourself, I won't ask!"

Zhang Yan heard that Cao Ang gave such a generous treatment, and hurriedly bowed and thanked him; "Thank you for your generosity!"

Seeing this, Cao Ang waved his hand and stared at Zhang Yan with a serious face: "I am generous to you Montenegrin Army, but you have to be right about the military salary, grain and grass I give you!" ”

"If you let me know that your Montenegrin army dares to go against me, then don't blame me for turning against you!"

Zhang Yan looked at Cao Ang's cold expression, which frightened the juniors into a cold sweat, and hurriedly expressed her loyalty to Cao Ang.

"Major General, rest assured, the last general will definitely go all out to defeat the army of the Xianbei clan!"

Cao Ang looked at Zhang Yan's appearance and knew that the other party was completely convinced, so he put away his cold expression and looked at the other party seriously.

"Okay, then I'll believe you and give you a chance to atone for your sins, you know, I originally planned to leave this opportunity to Ding Yuan, after all, he made Bingzhou like this, and the sin is still very heavy."

"If it weren't for Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao and recommending you to me, then I wouldn't have given you such an opportunity to atone for your sins, you have to take advantage of it!"

When Zhang Yan heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the last general will definitely go all out, thank you to the young general, and thank you Mr. Guo Jia." ”

Cao Ang looked at Zhang Yan's grateful appearance, so he couldn't help but smile and looked at Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, do you have anything to say to General Zhang Yan?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he sighed helplessly, cooperated with Cao Ang, and said to Zhang Yan: "General Zhang, you must know that your task in this battle is to defend the attack of the Xianbei tribe's three-way army. ”

"Remember, don't be greedy and go deep into the grassland, if you are not familiar with the terrain, if you take the Black Mountain Army deep into the grassland, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!"

When Zhang Yan heard this, she politely said to Guo Jiazuo: "Yes, thank you Mr. Fengxiao for mentioning it, the last general will remember it." ”

Subsequently, Guo Jia instructed Zhang Yan to pay attention to a few things, such as the sandstorm in the north of the state, the water source and other problems.

Zhang Yan carefully wrote them down one by one, and then said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan also met Xu You.

At this time, Zhang Yan still had a lot of resentment in her heart towards Xu You.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Mr. Xu You." Zhang Yan looked at Xu You, and the yin and yang were angry with the other party.

And Xu You felt a little guilty about Zhang Yan, so he just smiled lightly in the face of Zhang Yan's yin and yang weirdness, and waved his hand indifferently.

"I know that General Zhang Yan has complaints against Zaixia, but in that situation at that time, if Zai Xia didn't take refuge in the young general, it was very likely that he would be killed by Yuan Shao!"

"It's just that in order to save your life, you have been burdened by General Zhang Yan, and it is indeed not under you, fortunately, now we are all following the young general, General Zhang Yan, if you have anything, you can do your best to help General Zhang Yan."

After Zhang Yan listened to Xu You's explanation, her face looked a lot better.

So he waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'm a county prince now, although I don't have much power, but I can be regarded as an official of the imperial court." ”

"If it weren't for Mr. You surrendered to the Major General first, then I'm afraid I would have fought to the death with the Major General, if that was the case, I might have died by now."

After Xu You heard Zhang Yan's words, he was relieved and smiled: "This Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing, General Zhang Yan can think like this, and he is very moved in his heart." ”

Zhang Yan waved his hand when he heard the words and said: "Okay, let's write off our grievances before, we will all be colleagues in the future, and there is no grievance that cannot be resolved." ”

Xu You looked at Zhang Yan's honest appearance, his heart moved, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Zhang Yan saw that Xu You had nothing to say, so he waved his hand lightly and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu You, I'll leave first, the Black Mountain Army stationed at the border still needs me to lead the army." ”

"Okay, then I wish the general a victory!" Xu Yu responded and sent Zhang Yan away.

Looking at Zhang Yan's back, slowly disappearing above the horizon, Xu You couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"I didn't expect Zhang Yan to be quite easy to get along with, but it's a pity that I, as a strategist of the major general, can't remind him too much."

Xu You could see that Zhang Yan belonged to the kind of person who was sold and was still helping others count money.

It's just that Cao Ang is doing it right now, even if he sees it, it's not easy to tell Zhang Yanming. (End of chapter)
