Jizhou, Wei County, Wu'an.

Since Zhang Yan submitted to the imperial court to ask for surrender, many counties and townships adjacent to the Taihang line have been divided into Wei and Zhao counties, and military and political affairs have been handed over to Zhang Yan by Zhonglang. Because hundreds of thousands of people in the mountainous area of Liuyu are called the Black Mountain Army, this area is often called Black Mountain County, which used to be bandits, and now is a soldier.

This is not the first time Jiang Jin has been here, a few years ago, he and Wang Yi recruited troops for Yanbei, and the recruits were the soldiers of the Black Mountain who had experienced the battle array and knew the weapons, which was also the foundation of Yanbei's beginnings. After a few years, when he stepped on this mountain and river again, he remembered that he had endless sighs in the past.

When their brothers appeared in Zhongshan Kingdom, how could they have imagined that there would be today?

At that time, Yanbei just wanted to be a general!

In a blink of an eye, he dominated the northern soil, and the world took two points.

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, Zhang Yan put down the wine bowl and asked with a smile: "Captain Jiang is in high spirits, why is he sighing?" ”

It's not high-spirited! Last year, more than 20,000 people drowned Gongsun Zan in the Yishui River, and then became a captain of Wuhuan Guard, but I am afraid that the next step is General Duliao...... The border affairs of Beizhou are nothing more than Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Goguryeo, and the position of General Duliao will not be vacant for too long.

Apart from Jiang Jin, who else has such a prestige ability to reassure General Yan?

"Where there is something energetic, tiredness is real. Lang Jiang, Jiang is emotional! Jiang Jin stood up, stood on the pavilion on the top of the mountain and looked at the mountains and rivers in between, beautiful and difficult, and said with his back hand: "The generals really don't hide it, five or six years ago, Jiang Mou came here to recruit troops, and there was no such good treatment at that time, there was wine and meat. If it weren't for the yellow scarf in his arms, he would have had to ask many leaders to be killed as spies of the Han army...... I didn't realize that it was so beautiful in Montenegro! ”

"Hahaha!"

The Montenegrin generals laughed when they heard this, it wasn't that Jiang Jin was really funny when he spoke, but when someone laughed, others laughed along. Yellow scarves, how many years have passed. Maybe when Jiang Jin came in the past, the people in Montenegro still regarded themselves as the Yellow Turbans, but now they don't remember any Yellow Turbans, and even the rebellion they personally participated in is no longer important...... They only remember Zhang Yan who gave them food and clothing and taught them to be looked up to, just like Jiang Jin and others only remembered Yanbei.

"Captain Jiang is right, Montenegro is not only beautiful, but also the Enshan that raises me! The mountains are high and the heroes are ten thousand, the strange peaks are steep and the rocks are dangerous, and the green water is the beauty of the cliffs! Zhang Yan stood up, stood side by side with Jiang Jin on the edge of the pavilion, was blown by the mountain breeze, waved his finger to the bottom of the mountain and said: "Qiang peaches, chestnuts, mountain peaches, mountain apricots, mulberries, jujubes, endless; Wild boars, pheasants, squirrels, birds and animals, endless hunting; There are also thousand-year-old forest trees, Shou Wu, Banxia, Poria cocos, and medicinal materials that I don't recognize. Since the annexation of the imperial court, the mountains and the city have been interconnected, and the wood, medicinal materials and furs can be exchanged for money and grain, and the people in the mountains have a way to live. General Yan wants to fight for the world? ”

Jiang Jin didn't quite understand what Zhang Yan was saying, but he could understand that Zhang Yan's last sentence was asking him, but he didn't know how to answer it. Because he didn't know whether Yanbei wanted to fight for the world or not, he had to laugh dryly: "I didn't expect that General Lang would also do it." ”

"Fu wasn't made by me, Zhang is a vulgar martial artist, hearsay." Zhang Yan shook her head and said to herself: "Montenegro, there were millions of people in the past, and they died of hunger, disease, war, and cold, and it was easier to die than to live. So far, there are only more than 500,000 left, but fortunately, they have finally become rich. These more than 500,000 people, they are not at ease when they are handed over to the princes of Zhang. The day before yesterday, Jizhou was still the world of Gongsun Zhan, yesterday it became the world of the Yuan family, and today the north outside the mountain has become the world of General Yan; But in this Taihang Mountain, it has always been Zhang's world. ”

"You don't look down on the mountains, and I don't want to be content outside the mountains." Zhang Yan smiled, turned his head to Jiang Jin and said, "So one day the sky outside the mountain has changed, and there is still such a beautiful scenery in the mountain, what does Captain Jiang think?" ”

Zhang Yan blocked Jiang Jin's words that he wanted to say but hadn't said yet, he wanted to recruit Zhang Yan for Yanbei, but Zhang Yan obviously didn't think so at the moment. After pursing his lips and thinking for a long time, Jiang Jin said: "It's good that there is nothing to do, if you can have a little more, it will be even better." ”

"How much?"

"General Yan sent Jiang here, not to persuade General Lang to lead Montenegro to participate in the war, you don't have to worry. Montenegro has so many things, but there is only one thing missing, armor...... The general wants to use more than 10,000 pieces of armor, and asks Lang Jun to send more than 10,000 young men to Jizhou for my brother's use. ”

As soon as Jiang Jin's words fell, Huang Long, who was sitting behind him, couldn't sit still, and said with a smile: "General Yan's words are wrong, I don't have anything in Montenegro, but ......"

Before Huang Long finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhang Yan's eyes, and immediately smiled: "Captain Jiang means that General Yan wants to transport some armor to Montenegro so that he can recruit Montenegro's soldiers to prepare for war?" That's good! If in addition to the armor, you can also trade with my Montenegro, and send some food into the mountain, Yan is willing to send 20,000 young people out of Montenegro, I don't know what Captain Jiang wants? ”

"This is really good, Jiang Mou will go back to Yecheng to inform his brother, just wait for his brother to agree, and the armor and grain and grass will be sent to Zhonglang General!"

20,000 young people made Jiang Jin overjoyed. As Yanbei said in the early years, the soldiers of Montenegro are the best soldiers, and in the precarious situation of displacement, everyone can use weapons skillfully, which is far better than the village warriors recruited from the fields. As long as you use three or five months to practice the battle formation, eat and dress warmly, everyone is a good cub who screams when you go into battle!

Zhang Yan said a few words, and saw that Jiang Jin was anxious to return to Yecheng to spread the news, so he sent someone to escort him to Yecheng along the way, no longer reluctantly.

Before leaving, Jiang Jin asked Zhang Yan, "I didn't ask General Yan for Dong back then, did General Zhonglang regret it?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled and didn't speak, but just told the escorted rider about telling Jiang Jin Wu'an under Yecheng.

After Jiang Jin left, Huang Long walked to Zhang Yan's side and asked, "Chief, why is this, we don't lack armor, why do we have to give Qingzhuang to the Yan clan for nothing?" ”

Zhang Yan did not lack armor, Jiang Jin thought that Montenegro had everything but iron, but in fact, Montenegro did not lack iron. Wu An, as early as Emperor Wu, there were forty-nine iron officials in the country, and Wu An was one of them. In other words, since Dong Zhuo assigned Wu'an and Sheguo to Montenegro, they have no shortage of iron.

Although the craftsmen of Montenegro are a little weaker, they are not as good as the blades made by the iron supervisors of Liaodong, Yuyang or Nanyang, but they can also make ordinary iron armor and iron spearheads.

"If you don't want to be an enemy, why force it too hard. Could it be that you really think that Yan Zhongqing is a good person? Zhang Yan looked down the mountain, his eyes tired. It is not easy to be sandwiched between princes from all walks of life, and sooner or later you have to find a prince to take refuge...... Look again, look again. ”8)
