Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Guo Jia was not flustered, and he still looked like he was not in a hurry.

He walked to the map, first looked at the whole of Yanzhou, and then put his finger on Shanyang County.

"Lord, look!"

Guo Jia's fingers moved across the map, from Shanyang County to Taishan County and then to Qingzhou.

"Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, stays in Changyi City in Shanyang County. Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and Taishan Army marched westward, they did not pass through Shanyang County. ”

However, Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao's father and son, and he has already formed a great enmity with Chen Wenzhao. In the past, Chen Wenzhao's foothold was not stable, and he had no reputation, so he kept holding back and did not avenge Qiao Mao's father and son. ”

"But now, as a state pastor, he has a large number of generals."

"Chen Wenzhao is a person, although he comes from a humble background, he values love and righteousness. The father and son of the Qiao family have great kindness to him, if he does not avenge them, what will others think of him? ”

"If you can be convinced, let the Qingzhou Army and the Taishan Army come to surrender."

At that time, an army of 1.5 million passed through Yanzhou. Although most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are also a force to be reckoned with. ”

"I expect that they will definitely take advantage of this good opportunity to break through Changyi, kill Liu Dai, and avenge Qiao Mao's father and son."

"Yuan Benchu confronted Gongsun Zhan and was unable to go south. Chen Wenzhao's annexation of the state was blocked by Dongjun on the way to the east, and it was impossible to touch Yanzhou. ”

"When Yanzhou becomes a borderless land, the lord can take the opportunity to take his place."

"Although Yanzhou is not a large territory, it is a place of four wars. However, Yanzhou is densely populated and has outstanding people, and it is a rare and prosperous place in the world. ”

"If the lord takes Yanzhou, he can take Qingzhou to the east, and he can cut down Sili to the west. Even if there are two strong neighbors Yuan Benchu and Chen Wenzhao beside him, they have enough power to report themselves! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed.

He said to Guo Jia: "The words of filial piety make my cottage open!" ”

Man Chong said: "Yuan Benchu has coveted Yanzhou for a long time, if we take the opportunity to take Yanzhou, we will inevitably turn against Yuan Benchu." Now with the strength of our army, I'm afraid it can't be compared with Yuan Benchu! ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Boning's words are wrong! If Liu Dai dies, Yanzhou will become a borderless land, and naturally there are virtuous people living there. ”

"Now that the Han family has been robbed, heroes are everywhere in the world. If you don't take advantage of the situation to develop and grow, how can you achieve great things if you are afraid of wolves and tigers? ”

When the pet heard this, his face turned red with shame, and he stopped talking.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and said, "The words of filial piety are deafening." If there is no owner in Yanzhou, someone will definitely replace it! ”

Taishan County, above Taishan Cottage, after Zhang Yan sent Chen Gong and Dian Wei away, he summoned the generals under the tent to come to discuss the matter.

When everyone arrived, Zhang Yan said to them: "Today, Chen Wenzhao scolded his uncle and came to the cottage to recruit us and others, I don't know what you think?" ”

He said: "We are the king of the mountain, and we are plundering everywhere, and the officers and soldiers dare not provoke it. Eat meat and drink wine every day, so happy! Why do you want to surrender Chen Wenzhao and be under the jurisdiction of others? ”

Yu Poison shook his head and said: "If the chaos has appeared today, the princes will rise together." If we don't find a clear lord to vote for it, we will definitely be exterminated by the princes in the future. ”

Tao Sheng also nodded and said: "The princes of the world, except for Dongzhuo in Xiliang, only Yuan Benchu of Jizhou and Chen Wenzhao of Jizhou are left, and Yuan Highway of Yangzhou is the strongest. ”

"Dong Zhuoyuan is in Xiliang, and he is evil, and the world is against it. Even if you can be proud for a while, you can't be proud for a lifetime. Therefore, this person cannot be called the master. ”

"The Yuan brothers, from a famous family, have eyes above the top. If we go to defect, we will naturally not be reused. ”

On the contrary, Chen Wenzhao of Bingzhou is also from a humble background. And as the son-in-law of the great sage and good teacher, we were also the Yellow Turban Army in the past. ”

"In this way, there is also an incense feeling."

In addition, since his debut, Chen Wenzhao has won many battles and has the style of a hero. He also attached great importance to us, and sent his general Dian Wei and his uncle Chen Gongtai to recruit him, full of sincerity. ”

"Besides, I heard that Chen Wenzhao issued a recruitment order in Bingzhou, meritocracy, regardless of background, regardless of morality. Just this courage, how many people can compare with it? ”

"Therefore, I foolishly thought that if the leader had not thought about separating one side and defected to Chen Wenzhao in Jizhou, it would be the best choice. ＇

Zhang Yan was silent when she heard this.

Speaking of ambition, Zhang Yan also has it. Otherwise, he would not have entangled the young people in the countryside after the chaos in the world, pulled the flag and rebelled, and defected to the Yellow Turban.

But Zhang Yan's ambition is not big. He just wants to create a future in troubled times, get rid of his lowly identity, and be able to seal the shadow.

This can be seen from the historical Zhang Yan, who first accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and then defected to Cao Cao.

In Jizhou before, he did not defect to Chen Xu.

First, it was because Chen Xu at that time, although he defeated Huangfu Song, he had no foundation. The failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising has made Zhang Yan understand that the Han family is a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff.

So at that time, he was not optimistic about Chen Xu.

Second, he also wants to take a group of subordinates to occupy the mountain as the king first, and then wait for the price to sell.

Now, he has 500,000 troops under his command, and he has enough strength to be sold at a high price. And Chen Xu also washed away the identity of the anti-thief, occupied the state, and had many soldiers.

It is indeed a good choice to go to Chen Xu now.

Moreover, when he was in Jizhou, Zhang Yan also sent troops to help Chen Xu and restrained the soldiers in the nearby county seat of Zhending.

This enabled Chen Xu to go to deal with Huangfu Song's 3,000 cavalry wholeheartedly.

Ever since Chen Xu killed Huangfu Song, Zhang Yan has begun to value Chen Xu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Yang Feng and Bai Rao to bring a message to Chen Xu: "In the future, if there is anything, only one letter is needed, and a certain person will definitely do his best to help Chen Shuai achieve great things!" ”

Now Chen Xu wrote a letter and sent Chen Gong and Dian Wei to recruit him, full of sincerity.

Chen Xu said in the letter: If Feiyan comes to merge with the state, he can get the official position of Zhonglang General. The leader of Feiyan's tent can also get the position of captain.

As for the 500,000 Taishan troops under Feiyan's account, 20,000 elites can be selected, and they are still led by Feiyan. The rest of the soldiers were given land to replenish the population of the state.

Seeing Chen Xu's letter, Zhang Yan knew that Chen Xu was very sincere. He did not go into details, but made it clear what he was doing and how many soldiers he would keep in the future.

20,000 elite soldiers, compared to 500,000 Taishan troops, may seem very small. But Zhang Yan knows a lot about his subordinates.

The so-called 500,000 Taishan troops are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as some women. There are only about 100,000 strong and capable fighters.

And most of these hundreds of thousands of strong people have no military training, just some homeless people who have taken up rudimentary weapons.

In the territory of Bingzhou, plus the newly incorporated 10,000 Baibo troops and 10,000 Hun cavalry, there were only 110,000 soldiers and horses. Chen Xu can give Zhang Yan 20,000 horses, which is already very good.

Zhang Yan heard that Chen Gong was going to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. According to legend, there are millions of people in Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and if you follow the algorithm of the Taishan Army, you can keep 40,000 soldiers and horses.

At that time, in the whole territory of the state, not counting the soldiers of those counties, there were 170,000 soldiers and horses. With so many soldiers and horses, it will be a great burden for the barren annexed states.

Zhang Yan sat on the main seat, listened to the discussions of his subordinates, and finally spoke: "The predecessors of our group are all Yellow Turban Army, which is under the jurisdiction of Chen Shuai. ”

"Today, since Chen Shuai has made a book to recruit each other and promised high-ranking officials a lot of profits, if we can't resign again, won't we be shameless?"

"I have made up my mind, I will lead 500,000 horses under my command, all of them will defect to the state, I don't know if you have any objections?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. If someone dared to disagree, he would kill them on the spot.

Zhang Yan is such a person, he is not only brave in battle, but also as light as a swallow. And I work vigorously and resolutely, and once I make a decision, I will implement it immediately.

When the generals in the tent saw Zhang Yan's appearance, they were all in their hearts. They know Zhang Yan's character, and at this time, even if a few people are unwilling in their hearts, they will never speak out against it.

The north wind is howling, and the weather is still so cold.

Although Yanzhou is more fertile than other states and counties, it is densely populated. However, after years of war and famine, many places have also become deserted.

Chen Gong took Dian Wei and rushed to Qingzhou. Along the way, he was in a very good mood.

The three targets, the White Bo Army and the Taishan Army, have been persuaded by him successively. As long as he goes to Qingzhou again and convinces Guan Hai, then he will be done.

Chen Gong came to defect to Chen Xu, but with his own strength, he increased the power of Bingzhou by half.

With such a great achievement, even if he is in a high position in the state, no one will say anything in the entire army.

"In two months, the New Year will be celebrated. I'd better take advantage of the Chinese New Year to bring these two groups back to Bingzhou. ”

Chen Gong was thinking about things right away, when he suddenly saw dust covering the sky in front of him.

"What's going on?"

Dian Wei looked into the distance, raised his halberd to protect in front of Chen Gong, and said to the cavalry beside him: "You guys go to the front first to see, what is going on?" ”

When the cavalry heard this, two of them marched forward to reconnoiter the situation ahead.

It wasn't long before they rode back, all with frightened looks on their faces.

One of the cavalrymen said to Dian Wei: "General Huiyu, countless soldiers and horses have been found in front, and they are rushing in this direction!" ”

Dian Wei asked, "What kind of banner does this Biao Centaur play?" How many people? ”

The cavalryman had a look of fear on his face, and he stammered a little and said, "The banner of the leader is under the banner of 'Guan'." ”

"Their number can be said to be boundless, and it is difficult to estimate the villain. Even if the villain has good eyesight, he can't see the end of them! ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he was also shocked in his heart. That soldier had excellent eyesight, and if there were no obstacles, he could see things ten miles away.

Dian Wei didn't know where there could be so many soldiers.
