This Black Mountain Army is actually the Yellow Turban Army, a branch of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army. It turns out that after the main force of the Yellow Turban Army headed by Zhang Jiao was wiped out during the Zhongping Period, the rest of the party was still there. Some of the rebels had become honest "thieves".
They continue to be enemies of the government, but most of them are not fighting for the purpose of Taipingyi. They are fighting for territory, robbing property, and seizing more beauties. However, in recent years, the Yellow Turban thieves have become more active, and it is indisputable.
It is a fact, and it has the potential to start a prairie fire. The Eastern Han Dynasty was too overwhelmed to take care of itself and was unable to intervene.
Just north of the river are Zhang Niujiao of Boling, Chu Feiyan of Changshan, Huanglong, Zuo Xiao, Yu Shigen, Zhang Baiqi, Zuo Jianzhangba, Liu Shi, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Baique, Yang Feng, Yu Du,
Bai Rao, Sigu and other bandit leaders led a large number of 20,000 to 30,000 and a small number of 6,7,000. Among them, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan were the strongest. After Niujiao's death, all his disciples surrendered to Chu Feiyan and took Chu Feiyan as their commander.
In order to win over Zhang Niujiao's tribe and win the hearts of Zhang Niujiao's tribe, in order to show his loyalty to the world, and to commemorate Zhang Niujiao, Chu Feiyan changed his surname to Zhang. From then on, the "little commanders" and "generals" in the mountains of Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and Hanoi
They surrendered to Zhang Feiyan one after another, bringing his total strength to nearly one million, and they were named the "Black Mountain Army".
The Xiaoshuai Sharigou that Huang Cheng refers to is actually a "leader" under Bai Rao's tent, who calls himself Xiaoshuai. Although the Black Mountain Army is all under Zhang Feiyan's account, they basically fight on their own and have their own
The area of activity. This Sali Gou himself was born as a bandit, and most of his followers were former bandits. At first, he could still adhere to some peaceful doctrines, but after burning down the government and robbing powerful people for a long time, his banditry began to burst out again.
It has developed to this day and is no longer a "rebel army" at all. It is just a bandit force that goes around killing and plundering.
Cao Zhi knew the importance of information no matter in that era. Not long ago, he discussed the world situation with Xia Houyuan, Le Jin and others, and also mentioned the Black Mountain Army. I heard from Xia Hou Yuan that the Black Mountain Army has been in Wei County and Dong County.
Why did he go to Danyang when he was in other places? I didn’t hear any news that Danyang was attacked by the Montenegrin Army.
Cao Zhi and Xia Houyuan were puzzled. Fortunately, they had just captured a few prisoners. Didn't Huang Cheng claim to be from the Black Mountain Army? Naturally, these disciples should also be from the Black Mountain Army. Why not interrogate them. Cao Zhi and Xia Houyuan
After exchanging opinions, Xia Houyuan asked for a confession on the spot. The prisoners saw that Xia Houyuan, the most ruthless murderer just now, came to question them. These people had no determination to "beat me to death and not kill me".
said.
These are indeed the subordinates of the Montenegrin Army Sali Dog. They have just arrived in Danyang. They are a unit of Sali Dog with about 2,000 people. The main purpose of their trip is to step on the "plate (slang)", as the superiors have explained
The main thing is to find out whether the two brothers of the Cao family are back, how many troops are stationed here, the general situation of the Cao family, etc. I don’t want to meet this beautiful girl on the road, just... I don’t want to run into the big men (referring to Cao Zhi and the others)
), Huang Cheng had just joined the gang, and they had never seen him before. He seemed to be an old acquaintance with their "handsome" Sali Gou, so he became the leader as soon as he joined the gang.
I was still confused when I heard about Cao Zhi. The Cao family had no grudges against the Black Mountain Army in the past, and they had no grudges recently, and they didn't even know the Sali Dog. Why would he want to mess with the Cao family? He seemed to know the two of the Cao family.
My brother used to be an official in the capital. Is this strange?
Also, even if the Cao family is to be moved, why should the troops be moved to Danyang first? This Danyang is neither far nor close to the Qiao County of the Cao family. Danyang is to the south of Qiao County and is governed by the Lujiang River, so the distance is short.
It would take more than ten days. If we really want to take the Cao family's idea, how can we move the troops? Isn't this just a drop in the bucket? I can't figure out what kind of medicine the Shali dog bought in the gourd, and I can't even tell it from the prisoners.
What's the matter? Let's take it back first and then talk about it.
Cao Zhi and others came out of the woods and were about to return home. Several tiger guards were tying up the prisoners. Only then did Cao Zhi realize that Ren Hongchang had not followed. Looking back, he saw this little girl carrying her little bundle.
Kicking stones by the forest!
Alas! Woman! Cao Zhi dismounted and came to Ren Hongchang's side, and asked patiently: "Loud voice, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Houyuan saw the interest and led the people away first.
Ren Hongchang raised his head and rolled his eyes at Cao Zhi, then pouted and said, "I won't go back with you, and you won't care about me when I go back." After saying that, he turned his head and started to show off his temper.
"My aunt, didn't you just listen to what those bandits said? Even my Cao family may be making up their mind. With the war going on now, you are out there alone and you are not being eaten as a snack. Do you really want to be eaten?
Rape." Cao Zhi said anxiously.
"Bah, you just want to be raped." No matter how fierce Ren Hongchang is, she is a woman after all. After saying the word rape, her face turned as red as an apple.
"Then where do you want to go? I'll send someone to take you there." Cao Zhi asked.
"I want you to take care of me. I have a low life anyway. Ever since my father sold me, I have been sold here and there, either as a maid or as a palace maid, always serving as servants. My life is very light. The one who wants me is
You care whether I live or die." Ren Hongchang said that he was about to cry again when he was so sad.
Cao Zhi saw that she was getting the most headache from using this trick, so he quickly said softly: "If you don't cry, don't cry, then you can live in my house. Have I ever kicked you out? Are my family treating you badly? You have to do it."
Walk."
"That's hard to say, but it's just too good. I open my mouth when I eat, and my hands when I wear clothes. I don't do anything. Who am I in your family? I am neither a humble nor a concubine..."
"Yes." When Ren Hongchang said the word "concubine", his face suddenly turned red.
Cao Zhi didn't react for a moment, and still didn't understand the first half of Ren Hongchang's words. Cao Zhi thought to himself, "I have good food and drink, but it's not good? What do you want? Woman! It's really strange."
Ren Hongchang saw that Cao Zhi was speechless, and then said: "I feel sorry for myself if this keeps going on. Who am I to you? I occupy your single building. Since the last time..., you haven't even come here.
Have you seen... me?" The last word I said was so soft that only she could hear it.
Cao Zhi heard it clearly this time. Cao Zhi is pretending to be a modern thinker now. How could he not understand this almost explicit hint? Women are strange animals. They may long for a stable life, but they are not used to living a peaceful life.
I always like "Zhuozao (pronounced in Shanghainese)".
Cao Zhi looked at Ren Hongchang who was peeking at him, laughed dryly, walked up to Ren Hongchang, picked her up by the waist, carried her on his shoulders, and walked towards his mount.
Ren Hongchang never expected that Cao Zhi would do this, but she happened to meet a modern Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi, who has modern thoughts, would not be bound by traditional ideas. People born in the 1980s like Cao Zhi are a generation that dares to love and hate.
Ren Hongchang was suddenly picked up by Cao Zhi and yelled "Ah". After being carried on his shoulders, she screamed and kicked in fright. Cao Zhi lightly slapped her on the butt twice and pretended to scream: "Don't move."
Ren Hongchang was obedient when he returned and let Cao Zhishi do whatever he wanted without even pedaling twice.
Cao Zhi carried Ren Hongchang to his mount, helped Ren Hongchang onto the saddle, and then jumped on the horse's back, roared loudly, and chased after Xia Houyuan and the others.
The golden wheat ears were swaying lightly in the wind, and a horse was seen galloping by, disturbing the dancing wheat ears. The scenery beside the road seemed to be flying backwards in the eyes of the two horses, but they had no time to appreciate it.
With different moods, they were galloping forward.
Cao Zhi actually likes Ren Hongchang. He has liked her since the first time he saw her in Luoyang. This is how he feels about beautiful women. Ren Hongchang is a beautiful woman, but a bit "hot". Fortunately, Cao Zhi comes from modern times and is a "hot girl"
The era of rampage.
Ren Hongchang is different. She is a typical ancient woman with traditional feudal ideas. She hated Cao Zhi very much at first, but after being "forcibly kissed" by Cao Zhi, the girl's inner feelings were stirred up, and her heart was filled with secrets.
May.
That night, Cao Zhi accidentally "kissed" her, and then didn't do anything to her, and even ran away in panic. Ren Hongchang covered the quilt and was angry for a while, and began to believe what Cao Zhi said, that he didn't
He was malicious towards her. Cao Zhi ran away, and Ren Hongchang began to think wildly. He remembered Cao Zhi's heroic appearance when he rescued her in the palace, and then thought of his silly look just now. He touched his lips that were swollen by Cao Zhi's kiss and on the quilt.
There was also the lingering smell of Cao Zhi, and Xiao Nizi's heart began to become confused. At this time, she hoped to come back again, without comfort, even if the two of them had another quarrel. Thinking about it, Ren Hongchang felt ashamed.
Come.
The next day, Cao Zhi's second mother came again, hinting and comforting her, which made the little girl think more. In the following days, under the instruction of the second mother, the servants became more and more respectful to her.
, of course, there were no guards, and she could enter and leave Cao's house freely. But she became cautious and did not dare to run around, for fear of being gossiped about by others. But she waited and waited, but Cao Zhi didn't even look at her. Ren Hongchang
I am training myself to be a competent little daughter-in-law in the future, so how can I run to Cao Zhi by myself?
Cao Zhi has been busy recruiting and training troops these days. He has been living in the military camp with the sergeants. He has long forgotten that there is a beautiful girl named Ren Hongchang at home. Despite Ren Hongchang's "hot" temperament, how can he stand Cao Zhi's behavior?
He didn't listen and didn't ask, so that's why he ran away today.
Cao Zhi hugged Ren Hongchang and flew all the way, catching up with Xia Houyuan and the others. Xia Houyuan laughed at them seeing how close they were.
Cao Zhi realized that it was nothing, and Ren Hongchang's face turned even redder. Ren Hongchang's pounding heart had not calmed down yet. It was fun to feel her heartbeat for the first time. She wished that Cao Zhi would hold her in his arms and fly forever.
Returning to Cao's Mansion, Cao Zhi asked Ren Hongchang to go back to the small building by himself. Ren Hongchang blushed and hurriedly entered the door. Ren Hongchang, who was full of sweetness in his heart, had already entered the door and did not forget to look back at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi said to him
Nunu mouthed, meaning to let her in quickly. Ren Hongchang pouted, then gave Cao Zhi a sweet smile, then turned around and trotted away towards the mansion.
A woman is actually very easy to be satisfied. If her love is affirmed with an action or a word, she will feel fulfilled.
Cao Zhi knew that now was not the time to indulge in his children's affair. As soon as Ren Hongchang left, he immediately took the rest of the people straight to the mountain camp. The things he encountered today were urgent and he needed to discuss with the generals and study countermeasures.
Not long after Cao Zhi returned to the camp, Le Jin, Li Dian and others entered Cao Zhi's tent under the leadership of Xia Houyuan. After everyone took their seats, Xia Houyuan briefly told them what happened today. Le Jin was also puzzled after hearing this.
I don't understand, we have nothing to do with the Montenegrin Army. Even if we want to attack us, there is no need to move our troops to Danyang first.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but could not come up with any results. The discussion had to be abandoned, but it did not mean to sit back and wait for death. Cao Zhi ordered Li Dian to interrogate the prisoners again, and asked about everything, such as the type of troops Shari Gou led this time.
Weaponry, personnel quality, etc... I have to ask about everything I can think of. Although I don't have any hope of clarifying Cao Zhi and others' doubts from these prisoners, it is always good to know more. Let Le Jin choose
The scouts (spies) are going to Danyang to spy on the military situation and actually understand the Shali Dog's intentions and the situation of the soldiers and horses. Please ask Xia Houyuan to go to Cao Ren and Cao Hong's house again tomorrow, so that they don't rush to Chenliu and stay here first.
