At this time, Lu Bu and Jia Xu were still discussing the situation in the world in the handsome tent, chatting to the end, both of them were in good spirits, and Lu Bu asked people to make the dry tea that Yan had brought before he had scavenged from Li Ru earlier, and drank with Jia Xu.

Lu Bu is not good at tasting tea, but he also enjoys the taste, but this tea is still too far from later generations, after all, the process of making zuò started first, and Lu Bu's drinking method can be regarded as advanced in this era.

Originally, he thought that Jia Xu would not be used to it, but he thought that Jia Xu liked this kind of thing when he drank it for the first time, and he relied on his cheek to ask Lu Bu for some, but he was reluctant to drink it in his own private secret, and every time he came to find Lu Bu, he had to cheat a little from him, and this time it was the same, although the two of them were in high spirits, but it was not a matter of just chatting dryly, but they couldn't drink alcohol in this army, so Jia Xu immediately proposed to drink tea. Although Lu Bu still looked righteous and unevasive in his smiling eyes, Lu Bu sighed that today Fang knows that he is thicker than his face, and he is far away.

Although the quality of the tea is not good, it is also unique and enjoyable, and the two of them continued to discuss the situation while drinking tea, and it was at this time that there was a commotion outside.

Lu Bu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, both of them were surprised, the reason why they blatantly built such a simple camp on the spot by the mountain was because of the 30,000 army as the foundation, if ordinary thieves saw this kind of formation, they would not dare to attack, and if it was a large-scale army, they would have been able to receive the information of the scouts a long time ago, but what is the situation now.

Both of them were in a bad mood, and although they were not very worried, they still opened the curtain and looked out.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the door saw Lu Bu and the two coming out and hurriedly saluted, Lu Bu waved his hand and asked, "What happened outside?" ”

The soldier said: "Wen Hou is a scout to send a signal......

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and Jia Xu next to him asked, "Do you know what direction and what is the situation?" ”

The soldier shook his head, "I don't know, little one." ”

Lu Bu was about to ask him to go down to investigate the newspaper, when he saw a few people in front of him hugging Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao looked at him from a distance and said, "Wenhou." Liao heard that there were scouts in front of him. Their signal was a distress signal, and it seemed that there might be an enemy around. ”

Lu Bu nodded, he also meant the same.

He knew that the scouts had special signals that could be used to transmit messages over long distances, such as this distress signal, in fact, one of the scouts would light the signal fire if he encountered danger when he was inquiring for information, the composition of this fire was unknown, but as long as it was ignited, it would be a skyrocket. Although it is only fleeting, it is undoubtedly extremely dazzling and eye-catching in this kind of night, and it is no wonder that it is discovered at first time and then quickly passed back.

Next, there is a waiting time.

……

Zhang Yan himself is a seven-foot-long man, which is nothing in the sturdy Yellow Turban Army, but he is not in a tall body. But there is a terrifying energy that can suppress millions of black mountain thieves.

Of course, it is said to be a million troops, but I don't know how much discount it will take, first of all, we have to eliminate those who are powerless to tie the old, weak, sick and young, and there are no more than seven or eight left, plus their equipment is also a problem, compared with the officers and soldiers or the elite soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits, it is really far from it, and it is not easy to have a 200,000 capable fighting force. Let's talk about elite soldiers. It is even more necessary to deduct seven or eight percent.

The original Black Mountain thieves were naturally not as vast as that, and this development process is also bizarre. It can still be traced back to the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping.

That year, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Zhang Yan, who was still called Chu Yan at the time, tangled a group of teenagers to become a group of thieves, fought in the mountains, and returned to his hometown Changshan Zhending, when there were more than 10,000 people, and when Zhang Niujiao in Boling also had an incident, Zhang Yan greeted him as the master, and until Zhang Niujiao was killed by an arrow, he entrusted his subordinates to Zhang Yan, and then Zhang Yan changed his surname to Zhang.

This Zhang Yan is vigorous and strong, known as "Feiyan", but the most commendable thing is not his martial arts, but he is quite military, leading the rabble of black mountain thieves to fight in all directions, when the mighty Yellow Turban Uprising that swept the world was crushed by the three-way army of the imperial court, this black mountain thief was led by Zhang Yan, in the fight with the regular army of the imperial court again and again, his own power developed and expanded, and he was able to give the other party several times to face the blow, which has to be said to come from his wisdom and courage, At least that was not possible with the former Bullhorns.

This also made Zhang Yan completely sit firmly in the top spot of the Black Mountain thieves, and was even more respected by the Yellow Turban Yu Vein in the world with several heroes in the green forest, and his reputation was growing.

However, few people know that Zhang Yan also has his own troubles in his heart, and he wants to do his best to maintain his position today, even if he does something against his heart for this, such as the previous Yang Feng incident.

That Yang Feng was originally a commander among the black mountain thieves, and he was a veteran, who had been in the army since the time of Zhang Niujiao, but no one expected that this person would secretly have a bad heart.

Or it can't be said that no one noticed, at least Zhang Yan had already noticed, when he was under Zhang Niujiao's tent, he and Yang Feng didn't deal with each other, and they didn't look at each other, and later when Zhang Niujiao died, he told the generals to "take Yan as the mainstay", although Yang Feng was subservient, but it was only for a while, and he secretly didn't know what ideas he was fighting.

But Zhang Yan didn't break it at that time, because in terms of seniority, Yang Feng was older than him, and there were many people in the Black Mountain thieves who followed him, if the battle with Yang Feng was on the surface, it would inevitably affect the development of the Black Mountain thieves, so Zhang Yan only didn't know to turn a blind eye at that time, but later the number of Black Mountain thieves gradually increased, and Changshan, Zhao County, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and Hanoi valleys have made contact, such as Sun Qing, Wang Dang, etc., all brought their troops to join Zhang Yan, so that their troops reached one million, Even Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was unable to conquer, but Zhang Yan took the initiative to ask the court and was worshiped by the court as a general in peace.

But on the day when the imperial court announced the decree, Zhang Yan suddenly made a move on Yang Feng, in the name of colluding with the imperial court and wanting to trap the black mountain thief to death, he suddenly attacked the unprepared Yang Feng during the deliberations, and ordered his henchmen to untie his blades and be tied in front of the court, and at the same time secretly ordered people to gather his henchmen and supporters in the name of Yang Feng, and took the opportunity to catch them all, so that even if others were dissatisfied or dissatisfied with Zhang Yan, they could only hide in their hearts. And Zhang Yan also took advantage of this to secure his position, and no one can subvert it anymore.

However, there is now a new opponent on his path to power, and this opponent is not any single individual, but most of the Black Mountain thieves who are about to be driven crazy by the food crisis, that is, his team, which he relies on to entrench in Hebei.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this threat from the foundation that it touched the weakest nerve in Zhang Yan's mind, so he, who has always been rational and calm, will now do the crazy thing of crossing the border and taking chestnuts from thousands of miles of fire.

Looking out the window at a bright moon, he was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to wake up, but he let out a long sigh.

I just don't know if they can go along with the poison...... (To be continued.) )
