Jia Xu rested for a while and began to climb the mountain.

There were only more than 20 people with him, and they had to pass through Yuan Shao's territory, and they didn't dare to do too much, the fewer people the better, and it was light to go up the mountain at this time, but halfway through, soldiers from the Black Mountain Army appeared to intercept them.

"Who?"

Dozens of Montenegrin soldiers, who were on duty on the road up the mountain, quickly appeared at this time and surrounded them from all directions.

Cao Zhen's hands were already pressed on the hilt of the knife, ready to move at any time.

Jia Xu's face was calm, facing the person led by the other party, and said: "Jia Xu, the strategist under the command of Cao Sikong of the Great Han, and Cao Zhen, the son of Cao Sikong, want to go up the mountain to visit Zhang Yan, the leader of Montenegro. ”

Those Montenegrin soldiers thought that ordinary merchants got lost and walked to the mountain, or Yuan Shao's people, who went up the mountain to find out their truth.

Hearing that it was under the command of the big man Cao Sikong, the leader hesitated for a while, a little unconvinced.

Jia Xu said again: "I have something more important, I want to talk to your leader, this is related to the future of your Montenegrin Army, you can't decide, let's go back and spread it!" ”

If it is really Cao Cao's person, then the matter is indeed a bit important.

The person at the head has no right to decide on the high-level affairs of the Montenegrin army.

He hurriedly arranged for someone to go up the mountain, informed Zhang Yan, and asked what should be done, but he still stared at Jia Xu and did not let him go, waiting for the order from the mountain before he could take people up.

I've been waiting for a long time.

At last someone from the mountain came down and said two words in the ear of the man who led him.

The leader said, "It is not impossible for you to go up to the mountain, but you must obey our rules." ”

Jia Xu said calmly: "Naturally, I will abide by it, what rules are there, please say!" ”

The leader shouted, "Blindfold them." ”

How to go up the mountain, the route is a secret for Zhang Yan, their Black Mountain Army relies on this mountain to defend, no matter whether Jia Xu is Cao Cao's person or not, he can't let him see the route up the mountain.

"This ......"

Blindfolded, he couldn't see anything, Cao Zhen didn't quite agree, and his hand continued to press on the hilt of the knife, looking like he was going to resist.

Jia Xu pressed his hand and laughed: "Childe, it's too cautious, come with a black cloth, I'll cover the mountain first." ”

Seeing that he promised happily, the person at the head was not embarrassed, and handed Jia Xu a black cloth, and then Cao Zhen and the others also blindfolded them with black cloths to ensure that they would not peek, so someone took them up the mountain.

The road up the hill is a bit bumpy.

Although they couldn't see it, they could still feel it, and after walking all the way up the hill for a long time, the road was finally smoothed.

Jia Xu and Cao Zhen both knew that when it was leveled, it meant that the place had arrived.

But they waited a little longer before they could take off the black cloth.

As far as the eye can see, this is a military camp.

There were no more soldiers and no less, Jia Xu visually estimated that there were more than 10,000 people, all of them gathered here, looking at Jia Xu and the others.

Being stared at by so many people, Cao Zhen's heart was furious, and he had a feeling of unstability.

However, Jia Xu was still calm, dared to recommend himself, and ventured to the Black Mountain camp, expecting this kind of scene, and he was not cowardly at all.

"You are Jia Wenhe, Mr. Jia?"

A man came out of the next room.

It was Zhang Yan.

Jia Xu said: "I've seen General Zhang!" ”

"You're welcome, sir!"

Seeing that Jia Xu was so calm, and he could still talk and laugh with himself, Zhang Yan admired it a little, and made a gesture of please.

Jia Xu and Cao Zhen arrived at the house.

Zhang Yan invited them to sit down again, and asked curiously: "Mr. and this Cao Gongzi are really from Cao Ying, and they came to see me instead of Cao Sikong?" ”

Cao Zhen's role is just to give a little, from Cao Cao's sincerity, and the person who protects Jia Xu and really opens his mouth to persuade is not Cao Zhen, but Jia Xu.

"That's right, we're from Cao Ying."

Jia Xu's words were very direct and straight to the point: "Our purpose is very simple, to persuade General Zhang to return to the imperial court and deal with Yuan Shao together. ”

Zhang Yan laughed and said: "I am the leader of more than 10,000 soldiers in this black mountain, here I am the largest, unrestrained, free, do whatever I want, why do I have to take refuge in the imperial court, ask for hardship, ask for bondage?" ”

Jia Xu smiled disapprovingly, and retorted: "General Zhang's words seem to be small and short-sighted, no wonder he can only hide in the Black Mountain." ”

"You're bold!"

When a Zhang Yan's subordinate heard this, he shot the case and was furious and wanted to do something to Jia Xu.

Cao Zhen and the others went up the mountain, but they were not taken away from their weapons, and when they saw this, they drew their swords out of their sheaths, preparing to protect Jia Xu and fight to the death.

"Slow!"

Zhang Yan didn't let his subordinates do anything, stopped talking, and asked, "Why does Mr. Jia think that I am short-sighted?" ”

Jia Xu's words were not only direct, but also very sarcastic, and he said very politely: "General Zhang was born in the Yellow Turban, and later occupied Montenegro, and the White Wave Army in the same period as you is gone, and General Zhang can still be active in Montenegro, which shows that you do have some ability, but that's all!" ”

"If there is chaos today, General Zhang will not want to do something big by himself."

"At the beginning, you were rewarded by the imperial court, but it was useless."

"Later, I fought with Yuan Shao, but I couldn't beat Yuan Shao, so I had to join forces with Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan was gone."

"You are now being beaten by Yuan Shao, you have to hide in the black mountain, you don't even dare to go down the mountain, not only do you not feel aggrieved, but you feel free on the mountain, as if you are proud to hide in the mountain."

"Even the heart that once did some great things is gone, so I dare to hide in the mountains."

"It's not short-sightedness, but how?"

After he finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhang Yan, and he could see that Zhang Yan's face was a little red.

Of course, Zhang Yan wants to do big things, but she also has to have this strength.

Yuan Shao under the mountain can press him to the ground and rub him casually.

It was true that he was beaten so hard that he didn't dare to go down the mountain, but he was still proud of it, and Jia Xu's words poked into his lungs.

"You are hiding in the mountains, you don't want anything."

"Maybe in the past few years, I have put some cloth and grain on the mountain, so that I will not starve and suffer from cold."

"But so what?"

"As long as your food is cut off at the bottom of the mountain, and a fire is lit, the entire Montenegro will be burned, what is left of your Montenegrin army?"

Jia Xu continued.

Zhang Yan: "......"

He was silent.

The Montenegrin general who was going to make a move on Jia Xu was also silent, not denying Jia Xu's words, and really talked about their weaknesses, which was very heartbreaking.

The storage of grain and cloth on the mountain is indeed running out, as long as the people under the mountain have the heart to boil with them, and then block Montenegro, they will be in chaos internally.

"That's why I said that General Zhang's pattern is just like that, short-sighted."

Jia Xu said this, not afraid that they would be angry and kill themselves.

If this is really the case, the person in front of him will not be able to jump repeatedly among the many princes and live to the current Zhang Yan.

Cao Zhen secretly wiped a cold sweat for Jia Xu, thinking that this is really daring to say!

Mr. Wenhe, aren't you afraid of death?
