When he was young, Cao Cao relieved himself, hurriedly picked up the distress letter that Tao Sheng wrote to him, and read it again seriously.

After confirming that there was indeed no problem with Tao Sheng's letter, Cao Cao threw Jian Mu on the table and said, "Tao Sheng, this waste, Cao really believed him wrong!" Even Zhang Yan can't stand it alone, this is good, Zhang Yan's thief has fallen into the hands of the potter, and now the Black Mountain Army will definitely disobey Tao Sheng, our alliance is completely gone! ”

By Cao Cao's side, Cheng Yu hurriedly persuaded him: "Sikong, it is imperative to quickly send the general to lead the troops to Tao Sheng's camp to help him stabilize the army's heart, and the second is to collect the Montenegrin army...... Zhang Yan ran away, don't worry about the side now, but see which one of the Montenegrin army dares to rebel, kill and suppress it on the spot, and don't let the Montenegrin army have chaos! In this way, we have a big less arm in Hebei. ”

Cao Cao slapped his forehead with his hand and woke up: "That's the truth!" ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered, Zhuo Xiahou and Cao Ren, two clan generals, led heavy troops and hurried to the Dazhai of the Black Mountain Army.

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren packed up their troops and horses, and before they could set off, Cao Cao received another bad news from the front-line eagle snake soldiers.

After Zhang Yan was rescued by the pottery merchants, Zhang Yan, with the support of the Jinling Army, raised the banner and openly recruited the original Black Mountain Army and generals.

And together with Zhang Yan, there is also a banner of Huang Tianwu.

There was almost no suspense, and most of the generals of the Montenegrin Army defected one after another, returned to Zhang Yan's banner, and cooperated with the Jinling Army to counterattack Tao Sheng.

Tao Sheng didn't even parry a few times, and was broken through the main village by the Jinling army, and his body was killed, and his head was also taken back by Tai Shici to ask Guo Jia for credit.

And the return of the Eagle Serpent also carried another piece of news.

The fierce general who killed Zhang Baiqi and rescued Zhang Yan was Liu Pi, the general of Jinling, and Zhao Yun, the general under the command of Tao Shang.

After Zhang Baiqi's death, Liu Bi's fame and prestige began to spread widely among Cao's army.

When Cao Cao learned the news, his hands trembled.

I thought that the time was in time, but I didn't expect that Zhang Yan's appeal in the Black Mountain Army was so strong, and Tao Sheng could be destroyed in an instant...... Oh, yes! And the so-called Huang Tianwu.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, looked at Cheng Yu beside him and asked, "Zhongde, what is Huang Tianwu?" ”

Cheng Yu explained to Cao Cao: "Returning to Sikong, Huang Tianwu is not an object, but a person, with an extraordinary status and noble status among the Yellow Turbans, and it is said that his person seems to be Zhang Jiao's orphan......"

"Zhang Jiao?" Cao Cao frowned and said, "How could Zhang Jiao's orphan run into the hands of the potter?" ”

Cheng Yu grinned when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, you ask me? Who am I asking?

After a long time, he saw Cao Cao sigh and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I didn't expect such a huge Black Mountain Army to fall into the hands of the potters in the end...... Cao has been planning for a long time, but he ran out of Huang Tianwu halfway to stir up the situation! It's really infuriating, and it's a pity. ”

……

Cao Cao's side was distressed, but Yuan Shao's side was relatively comfortable, but to be honest, Yuan Shao was not very comfortable.

After all, it's for the potter to play, and whoever changes it won't be too comfortable.

Of course, Yuan Shao naturally knew about the changes in the Montenegrin Army.

He hurried to the frustrated professor to discuss the matter.

After hearing this, Fu Zhu said: "It is not a bad thing that the Black Mountain Army was attached to the pottery merchant from Cao Cao, and we also happened to take advantage of it to achieve great things. ”

"Profiting from it?" Yuan Shao was stunned and said: "The Black Mountain Army is attached to the pottery merchants, and the strength and population of the surname Tao have increased greatly, how can Yuan profit from it?" ”

Frustrated and said to him: "Zhang Yan was rescued alone, and with a single shout, he can rebel against most of the troops of the Montenegrin army, and turn around to attack and kill Tao Sheng, the Montenegrin army has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the population under its jurisdiction is millions, what kind of strength?" Zhang Yan has such prestige, can Tao Shangyan not doubt him? Now that the situation is unpredictable, this is a good opportunity for our army. ”

Yuan Shao nodded abruptly and said, "What do you mean, Yuan understands it somewhat...... Do you want to take advantage of Zhang Yan's just submission and their disagreement between the monarchs and ministers to provoke the relationship between Zhang Yan and the potter? But what should be done about this? ”

Frustrated and said in a low voice: "Don't forget, Duke Ming, Tian Yuanhao is still deceiving under the command of the pottery merchant, if you don't use Yuan Hao, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "But there must be a specific charter for this matter." ”

He coughed lightly, looked around, and then poked his head over and whispered something in Yuan Shao's ear.

……

As soon as the potter returned to Linzi City, Zhang Yan and Bai Huan, Yu Poison, Yang Feng and others came to meet him.

"I've seen the prime minister!"

The potter smiled and stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yanxu up, and then asked the rest of the people to get up together, and said: "The name of the general who has been admired for a long time is like thunder, and this time I am finally fortunate to see it, it is really the blessing of Tao, we will be the ministers of the same palace in the future, and in the future, we will all work together for Your Majesty and for the benefit of the world." ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's enough for a certain family to be a pawn under the command of the prime minister, how dare you call a courtier of the same palace?" ”

The pottery merchant did not refute him, and said with a smile: "The Black Mountain Army has suffered from this chaos, and Tao is really sad...... I don't know how many soldiers and horses and population there are under the jurisdiction of Feiyan Gong? What about the losses of the Montenegrin army? ”

Zhang Yan said to Tao Shang: "The Black Mountain military generals, there are more than 80,000 people, and there should be more than 700,000 people under the jurisdiction of Ding, but the people are now scattered in the land of Taihang, flowing back and forth, and when Hebei is pacified the next day, Zhang should be convened as the prime minister." ”

Hearing this, the potter nodded suddenly, could it be that the Black Mountain Army is worthy of being the first Yellow Turban force, and there are still so many people left after such a mess by the potter, if this is in the heyday, I don't know how many?

I greeted Zhang Yan for a while, but suddenly, I saw Zhang Yan kneeling on the ground again, and said to the Tao Shang: "A certain family, as the former leader of the Black Mountain Army, has a lot of strength under his command, and today he is obedient to the prime minister, and the remaining wishes in his life are enough, and he is willing to hand over the military power today, and he will sincerely belong to the prime minister from now on, and ask the prime minister for permission." ”

Bai Huan beside Zhang Yan, Yu Poison and the others were all surprised when they heard this.

Even if he surrendered to the pottery merchants, but took the initiative to hand over the military power so quickly, this is not Feiyan Gong's character?

The potter was also a little confused.

Zhang Yan took the initiative to hand over the military power of the Montenegrin Army so cooperatively, this matter can be big or small, if it is small, the big deal is to be an ordinary general for himself in the future, and he will be rich and noble for life, but if it is bigger, once the potter wants to kill him, Zhang Yan is afraid that he has no power to fight back, and can only be slaughtered like a sow.

Zhang Yan has also been a big thief for many years, even if he really wants to be obedient, but he doesn't know himself now, how can he put his life in his own hands so easily?

The Tao merchant said suspiciously: "Feiyan Gong acts like this, aren't you afraid that Tao will cross the river and tear down the bridge, which will be bad for you?" ”

Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "If it is unfavorable, it will be unfavorable, this time it fell into the hands of Tao Sheng's traitor, and I almost lost my life, but fortunately, the prime minister designed to save me, and I would have lost this life a long time ago...... However, I handed over the military power to the prime minister, not because you saved my life, a certain family used these instead of the great sages and good teachers to thank the prime minister for taking care of Huang Tianwu for eight years! The great virtuous teacher is as kind to me as a mountain, and the prime minister has raised his daughter for many years is equivalent to raising my entire army in Montenegro, this kindness is like a parent, like reconstruction, how can a certain family be suspicious of their parents? ”
