At the junction of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Sili, there is a huge mountain range called Taihang Mountain.

In the mountains live the largest mountain bandits of the Han Empire, known as the "Montenegrin Army", the Montenegrin Army is the remnant of the Taiping Road, the leader Zhang Yan is strong, leading the Montenegrin Army to often invade the city north of the Yellow River, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress several times in vain, which makes the Montenegrin Army stronger and stronger, and now the entire Montenegrin Army has more than three million people.

Zhang Yan, whose surname is Chu, is a native of Changshan Zhending, because of his strong strength, thoughtfulness, and agility, he is known as "Feiyan" by everyone, and this Zhang Yan is one of the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army.

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, Zhang Yan was entrusted by Zhang Jiao to lead the remaining Yellow Turban Army forces in the north to hide in the Taihang Mountains, relying on the complex terrain of the Taihang Mountains as a cover to cause chaos in various places, making the Black Mountain Army more and more powerful.

After Xiao Yun learned about the situation of the Montenegrin Army, he planned to attack the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Yan, as one of the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, also served as Zhang Jiao's trust, Xiao Yun believed that he must have a complete "Emperor's Bible" in his hands.

As soon as Xiao Yun gave the order, Huang Zhong led 300,000 elite troops to the foot of Taihang Mountain and blocked all the entrances and exits of the Black Mountain Army in Bingzhou.

......

Deep in the Taihang Mountains, the headquarters of the Montenegrin Army.

Zhang Yan is pondering where to snatch a batch of grain? He has a population of more than 3 million under his command, and every day he has to find a way to solve the problem of food and clothing for these people, which is already a headache for Zhang Yan!

"Oh no, my lord!" Bingzhou dispatched 300,000 troops to block all our roads in Bingzhou!" A small leader hurriedly ran in and shouted at Zhang Yan.

"What! Bingzhou actually sent troops!Who is the commander?" Zhang Yan asked with a calm face.

"Great King, it's Huang Zhong!" the little leader immediately said respectfully.

"It's Huang Zhong! This is not the state pastor who really looks up to me!" Zhang Yan sighed bitterly.

Huang Zhongnai is the first military general in Bingzhou, and his strength has reached the sixth heavenly realm of martial arts, these Zhang Yan knows, after all, he often robs in Bingzhou and Jizhou, how can he not understand the generals in these two states?

Although there were more than 600,000 Montenegrin troops under his command, due to the lack of food, grass and ordnance, the combat effectiveness of the Montenegrin army was extremely weak, and it was impossible for Huang Zhong to be the opponent of the 300,000 army of the state.

It's just that the road is blocked by the state army, isn't it even more difficult for them to get the rations of the Montenegrin army!

"Let the sons and daughters restrain themselves first, and don't go down the mountain casually here in Bingzhou during this time!" Zhang Yan commanded.

"Wow!" the little leader answered and conveyed Zhang Yan's order!

......

In the evening, Zhang Yan had just returned to her residence from the barracks, and as soon as she entered the house, she found a young man with an elegant and indifferent temperament sitting in the lobby.

Zhang Yan was shocked, his residence was extremely well-guarded, and he didn't expect someone to sneak in quietly.

"Who are you, how did you get in?" Zhang Yan suppressed the horror in her heart, secretly guarded, and asked quietly on the surface.

"My name is Xiao Yun, I don't know if Qu Shuai knows me?" Xiao Yun looked at Zhang Yan and said leisurely.

This Zhang Yan is about forty years old, burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a hint of the majesty of a superior person, probably cultivated by being the leader of the Montenegrin Army over the years.

"What, you are Bingzhou Mu Xiaoyun?" Zhang Yan exclaimed.

As the biggest mountain bandit leader in the north, how could he not know what the name of the Bingzhou Mu was! Although he had not seen Xiao Yun with his own eyes, he had a portrait of Xiao Yun in his hand, and he used to think that his subordinates had painted Xiao Yun too young.

Now that he saw Xiao Yun himself, he felt that his subordinates had painted Xiao Yun old, and the white-clothed young man in front of him with clear eyebrows, lofty spirit, gentle and elegant temperament, seemed to be a powerful and state pastor, saying that he was like a scholar who had no power to tie his hands!

But just such a young man can quietly go deep into Taihang Mountain, and even more so he can sneak into his heavily guarded residence, Zhang Yan didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Yun no matter what, and his identity was determined at once!

"Yes, it seems that Qu Shuai knows me very well, and he directly determined my identity!" Xiao Yun looked at Zhang Yan and smiled lightly.

"Lord Zhou Mu defeated the northern alien race twice, which greatly increased the popularity of our Han people, how could Zhang Yan not know about the adult?" Zhang Yan sighed.

"I can't imagine that Qu Shuai takes the national righteousness quite seriously! So Qu Shuai can guess why I came this time?" Xiao Yun said with a smile.

"Lord Zhou Mu came to persuade me to submit, but I am afraid that I will disappoint my lordship, and our Montenegrin Army will never return to the imperial court!" Zhang Yan said lightly.

"Oh, are you going to live your whole life in the mountains like this! Live this kind of hard life without a meal, and don't think about future generations!" Xiao Yun asked indifferently.

When he came, he also looked around, and found that these Montenegrin troops were living a very hard life, and many ordinary old people and children had begun to go hungry!

"We are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, how can there be a place for us in the whole world?" Zhang Yan said with a complicated and gloomy face.

"What if I dare to take you in?" Xiao Yun looked at Zhang Yan and said lightly.

"We are already so disappointed in the Han Empire that we will not trust anyone anymore!"

Zhang Yan didn't think about returning to the imperial court before, he ordered his subordinates to bring people to submit to it, but found that the imperial court was extremely harsh on their Yellow Turban remnants, and even the grain and grass were in arrears, which can be described as a set behind the surface, and they were also extremely guarded, and important places would not be handed over to them to defend at all, and they also wanted to seize military power, which made Zhang Yan feel cold all of a sudden, and was very disappointed in the imperial court!

"Zhang Yan, do you think the Han Empire still exists now?" Xiao Yun said with a mysterious smile.

"What do you mean by that, my lord?" asked Zhang Yan puzzled.

"Since the moment Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang and abolished the Son of Heaven, the coercion of the Han Empire has been calmly gone, and the Eighteenth Route Princes' attack on Dong has made the ambitions of the princes of the world breed, and the imperial court has completely lost control of the world! The Han Empire has existed in name only!" Xiao Yunyou said.

"Since Lord Zhou Mu has long understood this, it seems that you are also one of these princes!" Zhang Yan stared at Xiao Yun and smiled lightly.

"Yes, I now have the merger of states as the foundation, the Central Plains is no longer a problem, the imperial court can't control me at all, Zhang Yan, why do you join us and merge the state?" All military salaries and materials and armaments are not a problem!" Xiao Yun said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, may I think about it?"

Zhang Yan was indeed a little moved, but he hadn't discussed it with his subordinates yet, and he didn't know much about the situation in Bingzhou, so he didn't dare to agree.

"It seems that Zhang Yan, you are still a little worried, so can you take a closer look at what kind of exercises I am cultivating?"

As soon as Xiao Yun's words fell, his divine soul instantly gushed out, and with a wave of his hand, several Yellow Turban wrestlers immediately condensed on the ground.

"Daoshu Yellow Turban Lux, you ...... Are you practicing the Emperor's Bible?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Xiao Yun would actually cultivate the supreme secret book of the Taiping Dao, the Emperor's Bible.

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising that year, the "Taiping Technique" and the "Emperor's Bible" were basically lost except for their remaining Qu Shuai, and Xiao Yun, as a pastor of the state, practiced the "Emperor's Bible", how could Zhang Yan not be surprised?

"Yes, it is your Taiping Dao's "Emperor's Bible", and I also got the love of a senior by chance and passed it on to me! At that time, I was not an official, so I have a good relationship with your Yellow Turban Army, Qu Shuai don't worry, I will use you!" Xiao Yun said seriously.

"Can you allow me to be quiet, I have to always think about the more than three million Montenegrin Army, I really don't dare to make a decision easily for a while!" Zhang Yan hesitated.

"That only means that you are still worried about whether I am worth your refuge?

As soon as Xiao Yun's words fell, his whole body was full of momentum, and a powerful coercion at the peak of the Heavenly Phenomena Realm enveloped Zhang Yan, making Zhang Yan's face pale, and he was almost directly pressed to the ground by this coercion!
