In the early morning, the temperature in the mountains is colder than outside the mountains, and there are busy people everywhere in the huge village.
Yesterday, Yuan Shao's envoy arrived. The location of this place has been exposed, and the envoy was killed. In order to avoid being taken away from the old nest, it must be relocated. The Black Mountain Army in the stronghold is already packing their bags and preparing to move.
A huge cauldron is located at the door of the main hall. A fire is set up under the cauldron. The scorching heat wave can be felt from a long distance away. On both sides are two teams of fierce swordsmen and axemen, looking at the man who is striding forward with unkind eyes.
Chu Nan and Zhou Cang.
When the master and servant were about to enter the hall, a general blocked their way.
"Is something wrong?" Chu Nan stopped and looked at the Black Mountain general in front of him.
"According to the rules of the village..." The general pointed at the giant cauldron and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a slap!
"Pah~" Chu Nan slapped the general on the face, and the huge force knocked the general directly to the ground.
"How outrageous!" Many Montenegrin generals were furious when they saw this, and they stood up and took action.
"Rules?" Chu Nan kicked him again. The smile on his gentle face was still there, but it looked a little evil at the moment.
He took a handkerchief from Zhou Cang's hand and wiped his hands: "You tell me the rules, do you want to establish rules for the court?"
After saying that, he ignored the intimidation of the Black Village generals and strode into the lobby.
The faces of the Montenegrin generals were a little ugly, but Zhang Yan didn't show any change in expression. He smiled and said: "Yesterday the envoy didn't know his name yet! I wonder if I can say it now?"
Chu Nan went straight to the nearest guest seat and sat down, and said calmly: "I, Chu Nan, am now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I didn't give my name yesterday, which is a bit rude!"
"Chun Nan!?"
"Chu Rentu?"
Many generals' expressions changed slightly when they heard this. This man's name, the shadow of the tree, Chu people slaughtered people from Xuzhou to Jianghuai, then to Runan, Yingchuan, all the way to Mount Tai. The name of the people slaughtered, maybe even more ruthless than Lu Bu.
These are piles of bones of nobles.
For a time, the hostility towards Chu Nan in the main hall was inexplicably reduced.
Zhang Yan was slightly distracted for a moment, then nodded and said: "It turns out to be Chu Lingjun, disrespectful!"
I thought Lu Bu just sent a powerful person here, but I didn't expect to directly send his son-in-law. This was something Zhang Yan never thought of.
"Forget the polite words. I have read the general's previous letter. The reason why it was a month later is that the Central Government was discussing the placement of the Montenegrin Army." Chu Nan smiled and nodded.
"Slow down!" Before Zhang Yan could answer, Tao Sheng stood up, frowned and looked at Chu Nan and said, "We didn't say we wanted to surrender to Marquis Wen, so how could we talk about resettlement?"
"Oh?" Chu Nan took out the surrender form sent by the Black Mountain Army: "Isn't this book written by the general?"
"It was made by me." Zhang Yan nodded.
"Chu Lingjun is also a well-educated man. He should know that one moment is the same and the other is the moment. Moreover, the matter of returning to the imperial court is the will of the general alone." Tao Sheng looked at Zhang Yan, whose face was as heavy as water, and sneered.
"It seems that the general is going to seize power?" Chu Nan didn't get angry and knocked on the table.
"It's not about seizing power, it's just about the future and survival of millions of brothers in Montenegro. We don't think surrendering to Lu Bu is the best way out. The general is only for his own selfishness, and I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public!" Tao Sheng said to Chu.
Nan nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid that Chu Lingjun's trip will be in vain this time."
"I didn't expect the problem in Montenegro to be so serious." Chu Nan looked at the generals in the tent, stretched out his hand, and the mantis on his shoulder flew to his fingers, and said leisurely: "What is the situation inside Montenegro? In fact, as an outsider, I can't interfere.
, but this general, who are you, dare to call the current hussar general by his name?"
Tao Sheng frowned, hesitated, clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to make a mistake, but I hope you will forgive me."
"Since you know it's a crime, you should be punished." Chu Nan stood up and said with a smile.
"I've apologized, what are you waiting for!?" Tao Sheng subconsciously took a step back and acted on guard. The scene of Chu Nan's attack yesterday was still vivid in his mind. He knew that this man was a master of swordsmanship and had no martial ethics.
!
"If an apology is useful, then what's the point of the existence of the imperial court?" Chu Nan flicked his hand, and the demon mantis flew towards Tao Sheng. He chuckled and said, "Be careful in the next life!"
Tao Sheng was confused. What did throwing out a praying mantis mean? Also, why were there still praying mantises in this season?
Tao Sheng frowned slightly when he noticed something was wrong, but the next moment, the mantis flying towards him suddenly grew in size and turned into a humanoid monster, with its jagged forelimbs slashing towards the air machine.
Tao Sheng was horrified and quickly tried to block, but the mantis came too quickly. He only raised the knife halfway and his head was already chopped off by the mantis, and the head rolled far away.
Then the demon mantis transformed into a small mantis and flew back to Chu Nan's shoulder.
The generals in the hall were unable to react for a while. When Tao Sheng's head fell to the ground, they woke up as if from a dream. They were shocked and stood up one after another to surround Chu Nan.
Zhou Cang took a step forward and looked at these generals solemnly, but Chu Nan looked at Zhang Yan with a smile as if nothing had happened.
"That's enough!" Zhang Yan slapped the table and waved her hand: "Stand down!"
Tao Sheng was dead. The gang he had gathered now had no leader, and no one was willing to take the lead. Zhang Yan's people quickly retreated. A group of generals shuddered in their hearts under Zhang Yan's murderous eyes.
Silently retreated.
They are not fools. Looking at Zhang Yan's calm expression, it is obvious that the scene before him is not an emergency, but that Zhang Yan and Chu Nan have reached a tacit understanding at some point in order to eradicate people like Tao Sheng who want to join Yuan Shao.
, if they mess around again at this time, they may be the next ones to be cleaned up.
Thinking of this, some generals who had already turned to Tao Sheng sat down silently and began to think about the next thing.
"Let your Majesty laugh." Zhang Yan motioned for people to carry Tao Sheng's body away, looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile.
"It's okay. I'm here to resettle the Black Mountain Army and help the general clean up some debris. It's my duty to help the general." Chu Nan said with a smile. Last night, he asked the mantis and the demon ant to pass the message for him and secretly reached an agreement with Zhang Yan.
He helped Zhang Yan eradicate Tao Sheng. As long as Tao Sheng died, the people he had lobbied to come over would be in pieces. Without Tao Sheng as the leader, it would be much easier for others to clean up.
However, Tao Sheng was a general of the Montenegrin Army after all. If he died in the hands of Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin Army would probably split. Zhang Yan could not convince the crowd, but because he insulted Lu Bu or violated the court, he was killed by Chu Nan, the envoy of the court. That is
He committed suicide himself.
So even if Tao Sheng didn't call Lu Bu by his name just now, Chu Nan would have found other troubles to kill him.
Now that Tao Sheng is dead, it all depends on Zhang Yan's ability. He has been able to intimidate the Black Mountain Army for more than ten years, and Zhang Yan's abilities are pretty good.
"I wonder how the imperial court is going to arrange for us?" Zhang Yan looked at Chu Nan. Tao Sheng was dead. It was not easy to say more about this matter, lest the soldiers would be dissatisfied, so he had to change the topic to something that everyone was more concerned about.
This matter is related to the future of the Montenegrin Army. How to arrange the Montenegrin Army is an issue that everyone is concerned about.
"The imperial court's intention is to hope that the Black Mountain Army will continue to stay in the Taihang Mountains!" Chu Nan expressed his thoughts.
"This is impossible!" As soon as he finished speaking, a general stood up and frowned at Chu Nan: "Not to mention that Yuan Shao now occupies the four states, and the entire Taihang Mountains are under his rule. Until the spring of next year,
The monsters in the mountains alone can make the people in the Taihang Mountains unable to even farm, so how can they make a living?"
After saying that, the general drew his sword and looked at Chu Nan warily, fearing that he would drive the monster to kill again.
This left Chu Nan speechless.
Zhang Yan also sighed: "Your Majesty, this is not because we disrespect the imperial court, but as General Li said, it is not unwilling, but it is impossible."
"Don't worry, General. This is exactly why I came here." Chu Nan waved his hand, and the demonic mantis transformed into a fighting form and stood behind him. He looked at the crowd and said, "The imperial court has now developed a method to tame its own demonic beasts.
I can use the monsters to my advantage. The biggest problem of the Black Mountain Army is actually the scourge of monsters. If I can make the monsters to my use, and even help resist Yuan Shao's army, the skills will allow everyone to farm with peace of mind, and also help everyone block Yuan Shao's army.
Attack, what do you think?"
"Is this true?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up and she looked at Chu Nan and said.
When the generals heard this, they were also surprised. They looked at the two insect-like monsters behind Chu Nan, and then recalled the scene where Chu Nan came to control the monsters yesterday. They felt a little bit more convinced.
As expected of the imperial court, it found a way to control monsters so quickly.
The awe of the imperial court and Lu Bu suddenly increased a lot, and he also had a little more understanding about Chu Nan's previous violent killings.
People will always have a particularly high tolerance for people who can bring benefits to them.
"Don't worry, general. I came here just to resolve this matter. I will not leave until the general is satisfied," Chu Nan said.
"I wonder what your Majesty is going to do?" A general bowed and asked.
"Each village tames a demonic beast. This demonic beast is actually the same as humans. As long as there is a powerful demonic beast sitting in command, it can command the same kind to fight. Just like this mantis, it can summon mantises within ten miles to fight for it. We are here every day.
If a monster like this is cultivated in the village, it can protect the village and prevent other monsters from approaching." Chu Nan said with a smile.
This was his idea. He used a lot of luck to strengthen a group of monsters to defend the mountain stronghold. In this way, not only would the Black Mountain Army be able to continue to stay in the Taihang Mountains safely, but more importantly, the Black Mountain Army would always be in Chunan.
Under the control of Chu Nan, if the Montenegro Army is not under control in the future, Chu Nan can threaten the Montenegro Army at any time.
In this way, as long as Zhang Yan agrees, the Black Mountain Army will become Chu Nan's bag.
"That's it." All the generals nodded.
Zhang Yan obviously thought more than others and did not express his position immediately, leaving the generals to discuss. He looked at Chu Nan and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know the method of controlling beasts..."
"Each village selects an animal and cultivates it first. After the beast is transformed into a demon, its intelligence will continue to improve and it can communicate. As for which animal to use, the general has the final say, but there is a certain failure rate." Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Forget it, just follow your orders." Zhang Yan finally nodded. Taihang Mountain is his foundation, and it is naturally best if he does not leave.
"Without further delay, let's leave as soon as possible." Chu Nan didn't want to stay here for a long time. After settling the matter here, he wanted to go back as soon as possible.
