Chapter Eighty-Four: The Struggle of Will

Chen Bing Yecheng, because he was unwilling to go deep into the Central Plains last year, Yanbei in the rebellion stopped at Handan City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And now, behind him stood the banner of Captain Wuhuan, the soldiers and horses spread out and set up camp, and the soldiers on three sides rushed straight to Yecheng, making a look of fire and water.

Yanbei did not relax his vigilance because of some prior agreement with Zhang Yan, and the east and west wings of Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw respectively guarded the traffic points, guarding all the roads of Wei County's soldiers and horses to the north. If Zhang Yan acted according to Yan Bei's ideas, then everyone would naturally be happy.

If things change, he can also lead his troops to fight the thieves, and then retreat.

There was only one glitch in his deployment...... Taihang Eight Paths.

If Zhang Yan is not greedy enough and gives up the opportunity given to him by Yanbei to reconcile with the imperial court, and instead intends to completely swallow this counterinsurgency army, the only place that Yanbei can't take care of is Taihang Bajing.

To the north of Wei County, you can travel through Taihang, detour for 500 miles, you can go out of Taihang from Jingcheng, and cut off the road behind Yanbei.

That was the only place that Yanbei couldn't take care of, and his strength was insufficient compared to Zhang Yan, so he couldn't divide his troops anymore.

"General, will it change?"

Tai Shi Ci looked at the black flag embroidered with Feiyan on Yecheng, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Yan Bei stood under the gate with his arms crossed, looked at Yecheng with gloomy eyes for a long time, pointed to a messenger and ordered: "Go to the city and tell Zhang Yan that Yan led the troops to rescue Jizhou Mu and asked him to bring Han Fu to the city!" ”

Yanbei's camp has been set up, there is still no movement on the city, and from a distance, the city is full of defenders and banners, although he looks as usual, but the beating heart in his chest has reached his throat.

"Let's wait for another day, after tonight, Zhang Yan has not moved, immediately rush to the cloud ladder to confuse the enemy army, and then withdraw the army."

He has been waiting under the city for three days, and Zhang Yan in Yecheng has not moved at all for three days. The scouts outside the city were also not aware of the slightest movement of troops and horses...... There must have been an accident, Yanbei can't let himself take all his family resources under Yecheng and the Montenegrin army.

……

In Yecheng, the equally young Zhang Yan sat on the top, looking coldly at the old Black Mountain subordinates who were sitting or sitting upright in the hall.

Zhang Yan's appearance is different from his name, when others called him Chu Feiyan's bandit, he was not more than eighteen years old, with a slender figure and a brave personality, so he was called Feiyan. Now he is a real adult, and he will crown him with the horns of his father, and give him all his life in name before his death.

That's right, only nominally.

In fact, whether it is Zhang Niujiao or today's Zhang Yan, the leaders of Montenegro have always been able to rule over the bandits like those tribal chieftains on the grassland...... Even Lao Tzu, the Heavenly King, is not capable of fully leading this million rebel army.

The people outside the mountain used to refer to Zhang Yan as the leader of the Black Mountain, but he did not have the ability to completely control these people. There are more than 30 in Montenegro, and even after nearly a year of strife, there are still more than 20 left.

Each has its own boss, and each boss has its own story. Some became famous at the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion; Some were in Jizhou at an earlier time. It was all the fierce and unruly, and even when the great sages and good teachers were alive, they didn't dare to say that they could completely control these people.

"On the day when the horn was shot and the arrow died, we were asked to listen to Feiyan, and it was precisely because we obeyed the horn that we were able to lead our people to live to this day." The leader of the hall standing in the middle is called Bai Huan, there are more than 10,000 people in his department, and he has been a great grace with Zhang Niujiao, and now he is one of the few leaders of the various tribes in Montenegro who finally Zhang Yan, he shouted loudly to everyone: "It is precisely because you people did not obey Feiyan's orders and wantonly looted after leaving Montenegro, so that the people are now not protected!" ”

"Fuck it!" The leader named Fuyun smashed the pottery bowl and said angrily: "Then Yanbei is a Youzhou person, what can I do if I enter Jizhou Pinghan." We are angry with Lianzhi, Feiyan is the leader but does not lead his subordinates to the north to support Ping Han, is he not guilty of killing Ping Han? ”

On the side, he couldn't see the pillar with his arms on his arms, and spat out a mouthful: "Tao Pinghan is to blame, he led the army to fight with the Youzhou soldiers, and he deserved to be killed by Yan Zhong!" That shaft attracted such a killer, even if he wasn't killed by Yan Zhong, Nai Weng would kill him! ”

"Grunt, babbling for days over and over again, just a few words, you don't bother Lao Tzu!" Huang Long rolled up his sleeves, his red eyes swept over everyone's faces with an unkind expression, and scolded: "Whether it is a fight or a peace, quickly explain it clearly, and if it drags on, people will kill them...... I said earlier that I would attack and kill Yan Er when he was unprepared, but you didn't listen! ”

"Attack, Huanglong, you said lightly, you go!" Wulu, who was defeated by Yanbei several times in a row and was disabled, was indignant, and looked at Huang Long's arrogant appearance of winning steadily, the more he felt that he was mocking his own incompetence, and sneered: "Yan Zhong is outside the city, you go, Nai Weng will cheer for you instead!" ”

After finishing speaking, Wulu You Jue was puzzled, and spat out to himself, "I'm sorry!" Don't you look at your virtue, are you the opponent of other people's iron-armored crossbows? ”

Suddenly, every word you and I said in the hall was chaotic like a commercial market opened by Xiu Mu. At first, everyone was able to maintain restraint, but in the blink of an eye, this group of bandits who only knew the handle of the knife cursed and cursed, if someone stopped them, they would even draw knives and cut each other, and they would come out in life and death!

Bai Qi and Bai Huan, who were on the top, couldn't control the situation when they saw it, and they turned their heads to look at Zhang Yan who was on the head, Bai Huan said: "Feiyan, you are the leader, can you say something?" You can't watch everyone scatter like this! ”

Zhang Yan leaned on the couch with her legs crossed, her arms supported her head, and she looked with great interest, watching everyone arguing with red faces, as if watching people fight. Hearing Bai Huan's words, he seemed to come back to his senses, and said disdainfully: "What to say, let everyone continue to quarrel, two more days of quarrelling, Yanbei will attack the city, we will go back to Montenegro with our tails between our legs like a lost dog, hehe, what's there." ”

Sitting up straight, Zhang Yan took a sip of the wine urn beside him, raised his hand and threw it under the hall, and asked loudly: "Which of you can help me take a look, can this urn still work?" ”

The wine urn with a big head smashed into the ground, startling everyone, and only then did they stop scolding each blushing and thick-necked, and no one answered for a while, but Bai Qi hurriedly said: "Feiyan, how can you say that you are also the leader, is it useful to ask these things now?" ”

Zhang Yan staggered to his feet, pushed away the two leaders who were in front of him and stepped into the hall, picked up the bottom of the urn that was still half left after it was broken, pinched it in his hand, opened his arms and said: "Five years ago, Jizhou was our world. It's just a little bit like that, the great sages and good teachers can overthrow the Han Dynasty and achieve their ambitions, just a little bit! ”

"You are all Feiyan's uncles, and the most important ones are also brothers...... My father-in-law asked Feiyan to be the leader at that time, and you were not convinced, I understand. Feiyan has always respected your uncles very much, thanks to your kindness, otherwise Feiyan would not be alive now. Zhang Yan took a deep breath and asked everyone: "So Feiyan didn't dare to make her own opinions, let you discuss this matter, three or five days have passed, and you have not discussed the result, do you want to let the little nephew talk about it?" ”

"Why did we come out of the mountains? Can't live. What are we doing here? Let your brothers live. We were scared by the Han army, and when the great sages and teachers were there, we were a big wine urn. As soon as the Han army fell, the yellow scarf was gone, let's call it Montenegro...... It is the one with the most people, the most ruthless and the most powerful members of the Yellow Turban Yu Party in various places. Zhang Yan raised the bottom of the urn in her hand slightly, "Even if the yellow scarf is gone, we can still hold water and live." So others are dead, and here we stand. ”

"Now that Tao Pinghan and Zhangba are dead, Yu Yu ran back to Montenegro and didn't dare to show his head, and tens of thousands of horses were broken." Zhang Yan threw the bottom of the urn on the ground again, pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Yuan Benchu, Gongsun Zhan, Yanbei!" They enter Jizhou, we can fight them, why not? We still have nearly 100,000 people, and no one can beat us! Even if we kill Yan Bei, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zhan, we will have at least 30,000 people left! ”

Zhang Yan's words lifted her anger, and everyone nodded one after another. In the eyes of many of them, neither Yanbei nor Gongsun Zan nor Yuan Shao were enemies they could defeat. But what Feiyan said is very reasonable, there are nearly 100,000 people in his hands, even if he takes his life to fill it, he won't lose, right?

"And then? We won, and we're left with thirty thousand. More than 100,000 brothers were killed and wounded, and the remaining 30,000 people had to support more than 100,000 brothers' families, old and weak women and children. Do we raise it? raise, they will drag us alive and slowly starve to death; If they don't raise it, they themselves will slowly starve to death and die of disease. Zhang Yan shook his head, looked at everyone and said, "You all think about it, fight with them, who can guarantee that they will survive, and who thinks they will die...... If you die, I hope that the living will not be able to gnaw at your old parents, and how can you be the youngest son who can't hold a spear for you! ”

Whether it is Huanglong or Wulu, whether it is solid or floating clouds, no one can speak.

Zhang Yan's question is too ruthless.

It is simply impossible for 30,000 to support 780,000 old and weak.

"Fight or not, this is not a battle of will, for the Han army, it is just their merits, and they fought desperately to get promoted. We went to fight this battle, and after we won, there will be other Han armies to suppress it, and we will lose...... There is no Montenegro in this world. Zhang Yan shook his head slowly and looked at everyone: "This battle can't continue, but we can't just go back to Montenegro." ”

"At present, the situation in the court is shaking, and Jizhou Mu is in our hands, so it is better for him to threaten the court and threaten Yanbei. Let him give us a table to ask us to surrender, we still have eighty or ninety thousand warriors, and no one can defeat us if we retreat into Montenegro. Force the imperial court to divide the officials for us, carve out the city near the Taihang Eight Paths, and each of you will be the county honor, Montenegro will govern its own county, manage its own people, and protect your own families with our own soldiers! Let the Montenegrin cubs born in the future no longer be rebels, but our Montenegrin people! ”

"Although it is two things to say whether it will work out or not, it is better than consuming it like this, even if it doesn't work, we don't want anything else, just start a war with Yanbei, how about it?"
