In the hinterland of Montenegro, Yuan Shang looked at the mountains on both sides in the distance and realized that he didn't know how he had spent the past month.
Under the leadership of generals such as Wen Chou and Zhang He, the Jizhou Army killed many enemies. However, the Jizhou soldiers were better at cavalry and crossbows and were not adapted to mountain warfare. They fought with the Black Mountain Army repeatedly to compete for the top of the mountain all day long. It can be said that they used their own shortcomings to attack the enemy.
long.
Often they are shot down during the day, lost at night, taken back at night, and lost again during the day.
The Jizhou army has tens of thousands of troops and horses, and the daily rations are not a small amount. If this consumption continues, it is not certain who will be dragged to death first.
Wen Chou and Zhang He also suggested that this kind of terrain is really not conducive to the performance of Jizhou's troops, and it would be better to concentrate on breaking into the hinterland of Heishan and attack their home base.
Pang Ji had suggested this a long time ago, but now the key question is, now that there are mountains and forests everywhere, where can we find a road to break through?
If you force yourself to climb over the mountain, if the enemy cuts off the food route, there will be no return!
Yuan Shang finally understood why Yuan Shao led a large army that day and defeated the Black Mountain Army, but had no choice but to retreat. It was 800 miles deep in the mountains, and the farther in, the harder it became to fight!
He asked Jizhou for additional troops, but Yuan Shao had sent two generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, to bring reinforcements with thousands of troops and horses. They also brought news that made Yuan Shang quite unhappy.
Let Zhang He leave and lead a thousand troops south to Huaicheng, temporarily waiting for Yuan Xi's dispatch.
To be honest, Zhang He and Qian Bing have nothing to do with the overall situation. Zhang He is better at riding and cannot use it in Black Mountain. But what makes Yuan Shang dissatisfied is why Yuan Shao still values him so much even though Yuan Xi has been adopted.
After letting Zhang He lead the troops away, Yuan Shang came to Pang Ji to inquire. Pang Ji thought for a long time and said: "Young Master's current position seems to be stable, but there are still hidden dangers."
"Because the envoy has not expressed his position so far, let the young master inherit the Yuan family."
"Although the eldest son is in Qingzhou, he may not be able to be transferred back to Jizhou in the future. Although the second son is adopted, he may not be able to be adopted back in the future!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and said: "Then I am trying to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain?"
Pang Ji said: "Young Master, please be patient and calm down. Things will not be so bad. After all, your heart is really biased towards the Third Young Master."
"What the Third Young Master has to do is to win over people's hearts as quickly as possible, make military exploits, and expand his network of contacts. Otherwise, if you just rely on your favor, others will be dissatisfied."
Yuan Shang listened and nodded: "I understand!"
"Zhao Wen Chou, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang will step up their attack on the Black Mountain Army from today on!"
"It all depends on sir!"
Pang Ji hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will do their best."
The battle for the central area of Montenegro has once again become fierce. This time, the Jizhou Army finally put down its posture and learned Yuan Xi's methods, taking step by step and advancing steadily.
At the same time, a lot of manpower was expended to cut down all the trees on the mountains on both sides of the advancement route to prevent the Montenegrin army from sneak attacks.
After a few days of this, the Montenegrin Army gradually became unable to support itself. While Yu Digen, the leader, led his men to resist, he wrote a letter to Zhang Yan in the rear, saying that the front line was tight and hoped that Zhang Yan could mobilize troops for reinforcements.
After Zhang Yan received the letter, he was silent in thought. Only he knew that the Montenegrin Army's rations could not last for more than half a month.
In other words, if the fight continues, even if the Montenegrin army can survive by eating grass roots and bark, Montenegro will not be able to stay any longer.
Now it was necessary to consider the previous escape routes, but Zhang Yan was still very hesitant about how to choose, so she sent someone to invite Yang Feng.
When Yang Feng came in, Zhang Yan saw that she looked good and couldn't help but secretly marveled, she had already recovered in less than a month?
The last time Yang Feng escaped, she fell into a coma with fever for several days. Before she could recover from her injuries, she fought another battle with a ferocious tiger at the South Pass, which resulted in more injuries. After she came back, she lay in bed for several more days.
Zhang Yan thought that Yang Feng's vitality was severely damaged and that he would not be able to recover for a year or so. Unexpectedly, within a month, Yang Feng was acting as usual!
He said: "Leader Yang's injury has healed?"
Yang Feng cupped her fists and said, "Thank you so much for your concern, Mr. General Zhonglang. The last general is ready to go into battle."
Zhang Yan waved her hand and said: "No rush, I came here this time to discuss something with Commander Yang."
He still couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, "The speed at which Yang Tong healed his wounds was so fast. Is it because of the secret of the Taiping Qing Dynasty?"
Yang Feng listened and said calmly: "It is of some use. The breathing method can help heal injuries. Feng breathes and breathes day and night, and the recovery is indeed faster, but that's all."
"And this breathing method has already been told to General Zhonglang."
Zhang Yan still refused to give up, "Can this alone have such a miraculous effect?"
"I practice the breathing technique Commander Yang mentioned day and night, but whether it is in terms of martial arts or injuries, the effect seems to be far inferior to Commander Yang."
"Is it possible that there are immortal techniques taught by other heavenly masters that allowed Commander Yang to achieve what he is today?"
Yang Feng's face showed helplessness, "Feng has already told General Zhonglang that the other records in the Qingling Book are all about medical elixirs and illusory theories about heaven and man, which are not beneficial to martial arts and physical fitness."
"This book has been damaged a long time ago. Feng wrote everything he could remember based on his memory and handed it to General Zhonglang. The general should be able to understand that there are no gaps in it."
After Yang Feng finished speaking, she saw that Zhang Yan still showed some suspicion on her face, knowing that the other person did not completely believe her.
It's true that the Taiping Qingling Book is very famous. It is said that the old immortal of Nanhua awarded it to the alchemist Yu Ji, and then gave it to the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao to restore the way of heaven.
Zhang Jiao wrote the Taiping Jing based on the contents of the Taiping Qingling Book, founded the Taiping Dao, and spread it throughout the world.
According to legend within the Yellow Turban Army, the Taiping Jing deleted the contents of the Qing Dynasty books about cultivating immortals and attaining Taoism, and retained the common people's way of survival, aiming to save the world.
As for the real method of becoming an immortal, only Zhang Jiao knows, not even Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao know about it.
Yang Feng naturally scoffed at such miraculous rumors.
She is the one who really knows the inside story, because the Taiping Qingling Book was handed over to her by Zhang Jiao himself, and there is no magician. The Taiping Qingling Book was originally written by Zhang Jiao himself!
As for the Taiping Jing, it was summarized by Zhang Jiao after deleting some imperfect ideas in the Taiping Qingling Book. There is not much difference between the two.
But Yang Feng knew that Zhang Yan would never believe these words, and the other party must have suspected that he was hiding something key.
Thinking about it, if she were Zhang Yan, she would have to wonder why, as a woman, Yang Feng's martial arts training time is shorter than Zhang Yan's, but her martial arts skills are constantly catching up, and now she has faintly surpassed Zhang Yan?
Zhang Yan was known as a flying general at that time, and he actually benefited from Yang Feng's breathing method. However, in the next five or six years, Zhang Yan encountered a bottleneck and his martial arts stopped improving. However, Yang Feng seemed to have no obstacles and crossed a new level.
A gateway.
Yang Feng sighed in her heart. There was indeed a reason why her martial arts reached this point, and the price she paid was by no means small.
Because this breathing method was indeed something she kept secret, telling Zhang Yan the method eliminated some hidden dangers, but the effect was also greatly reduced.
Its real name is the Huang Tian Tu Na method, which has a great impact on the body. It is not in the Taiping Qingling Book, but was created by Zhang Jiao. This method is extremely harmful to the heart and lungs. Zhang Jiao used this method repeatedly, which resulted in a significant reduction in life span. Soon after the Yellow Turban Uprising,
, and passed away.
Before his death, he specifically told Yang Feng not to spread this law outside the family, so Yang Feng has remained tight-lipped to this day.
The reason why Yang Feng was able to practice this method was that he was young at the time and his body recovered quickly. However, in fact, the hidden danger has not been eliminated, and Yang Feng does not know how much life will be lost.
Maybe he can live for a few more decades, or he can die suddenly tomorrow, who knows?
If she told Zhang Yan the real secret method, she would most likely die violently in a year and a half given Zhang Yan's age and physical condition and practicing according to the method.
Yang Feng remembered that Zhang Jiao once mentioned that when he was still alive, he led an army to attack Qingzhou when he had not yet perfected the breathing method. In the army, he met a well-established young man. Seeing that he had great talent in martial arts, he used this method
teach it to him.
Zhang Jiao had a look of regret on his face and said: "I didn't know the dangers of this breathing method at the time, so I taught him this half-baked skill."
"Although I later improved this method to reduce the damage to the body, at that time my disciple saw that the Yellow Turban Army was out of control, so he left without saying goodbye, and I never met him again."
"But if he keeps practicing, I'm afraid he will be like me and won't survive for long."
After Zhang Jiao's death, Yang Feng left the Yellow Turban Army and defected to the Black Mountain Army. With the elite team led by the Yellow Turban Army, he quickly became famous.
Later, under the Han court's imperial edict, she was the first to surrender to the Han court, and she even persuaded Zhang Yan to make the Black Mountain Army a vassal of the Han court.
Yang Feng had already understood that since the Yellow Turban Army was betrayed during the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army was destined not to reach the end.
In this world, the Han court is rotten, but it is not only the Han court that is rotten, but the entire foundation is rotten.
She couldn't find a way to save the world, so she could only keep the fire of the Yellow Turban Army and wait for the opportunity.
Cang Tian is dead and Huang Tian should stand up. She believes that sooner or later someone will inherit Zhang Jiao's last wish, subvert the world and create a bright future.
Over the years, Yang Feng has been paying attention to the heroes of the world to see who has the ability to clean up the world and save the people. However, after so many years, she has not found a satisfactory candidate.
Most of the big families in the world respect Confucianism, and although there are quite a few who believe in Huang-Lao's way, most of them are just acting on occasion and only fancy the elixirs and Fangzhongshu of the Taiping Taoist alchemists.
Over the years, Yang Feng felt that the one with the greatest possibility was Cao Cao.
The Cao family has respected the Taoism of Huang Lao for generations. When Cao Cao himself was the prime minister of Jinan in Qingzhou, he destroyed obscene sacrifices and respected Taoism alone, which won the support of the remnants of Taiping Taoism.
This is also the main reason why the Qingzhou soldiers who started out as the Yellow Turban Army were able to defect to Cao Cao.
Therefore, although Yang Feng watched Cao Cao's private contact with Zhang Yan and Yang Chou, he still supported him privately, so Cao Cao gradually established his prestige among the Black Mountain Army.
For Taiping Dao, Cao Cao should be the best choice among the princes competing for the world today.
Moreover, Cao Cao's ambitions are not small. If he can unify the world, he will definitely be able to overthrow this rotten imperial court. By then, Zhang Jiao's last wish will be realized, right?
But Yang Feng's ideals and business operations in Montenegro were destroyed by an extremely despicable and shameless nobleman.
Under the influence of his rumors, not only did a large number of people in Heishan escape, but the rumors about the true person of Taiping Dao became more and more intense, which greatly shook Cao Cao's prestige and the prestige of Taiping Dao.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng gritted his teeth.
Yuan Xi!
This despicable villain not only killed his sworn brother, but also used rumors to destroy the foundation of Taiping Dao and pretended to be a real person. This was a great insult to the original intention of establishing Taiping Dao!
If you encounter it, you will definitely kill it with all your strength to comfort Zhang Jiao's spirit in the sky!
