The 261st chapter is not good for cutting Montenegro
Chapter 261: The expedition to Black Mountain was unfavorable
When Liu Bei was about to be cornered by Liu Zhang, Yuan Shao finished taking care of Gongsun Zan and was so satisfied that he even came up with the idea of binding the state. Of course, if Yuan Shao wanted to unify the world, he would have to fight Liu Zhang one day, so earlier, he said
He might still be able to defeat Liu Zhang, but if it were later, he would probably have no chance.
Liu Zhang's biggest advantage over Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was that he knew the direction of historical progress and the most reasonable combination of production relations and productivity. At the very least, Liu Zhang would not be naive enough to engage in communism in an era when imperial power was supreme.
Of course, it is possible to enter the bud of capitalism in advance.
Yuan Shao didn't know Liu Zhang's advantages, he was just impulsive! When the always rebellious Gongsun Zan lit the fire in Yijing, it ignited not only piles of grain and grass, but also Yuan Shao's unlimited expansion ambition. Jizhou was originally a big state.
, even though the birthplace of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is here, the population here has not decreased much. Yuan Shao can gather an army of one million at any time!
"Masters, Gongsun Zan has been defeated. Where should our next target be?" In Yecheng, in the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, Yuan Shao convened everyone to discuss the next target of attack. He wanted to compete with Liu Zhang most.
Down.
"Lord! Although the world is big, the one who can compete with you is Liu Zhang. Gongsun Zan has been defeated. We can send troops from Jizhou and Youzhou to merge with the provinces, force the troops to Liangzhou, and then go south to capture Chang'an and drive Liu Zhang back to Yizhou.
State!" Xu You is a close friend of Yuan Shao, and he knows Yuan Shao's character well. Since Yuan Shao wants to beat Liu Zhang, Xu You is happy to do the favor!
"Ziyuan knows my heart well!" Yuan Shao said happily: "In that case, let's follow Ziyuan's advice and prepare to send troops to merge with the state!"
"My lord, no!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to launch a large-scale war so soon, Shen Pei cupped his hands and said: "Although Gongsun Zan is in peace, Jizhou and Youzhou have not yet been determined. If my lord conquers Bingzhou at this time, what if our army goes to war with Liu Zhang?
Protrusion, what should I do?”
"Zhengnan is worrying too much!" Guo Tu said with a smile: "Hebei, what's the trouble in Youzhou? It's just a disease of slender mustard, it can be quelled in a moment!"
"The disease of Xianji?" Shen Pei sneered: "If Zhang Yan in Montenegro has 200,000 soldiers, it is also called the disease of Xianji. What is the big problem? You know, even the champion Liu Zhang may not have strong soldiers.
Two hundred thousand!"
"This..." Guo Tu's eyes turned cold. How could he not know that Zhang Yan was powerful? However, he was very unhappy when the trial partner refuted his face like this. Guo Tu was a villain to begin with!
"Zhengnan..." Feng Ji sat aside and took in Guo Tu's expression. He couldn't help but pull Shen Pei, but Shen Pei ignored him. When Feng Ji saw this, he sighed deeply.
"Hmm..." Although Yuan Shao wanted to attack Bingzhou, what Shen Pei said made sense. If he and Liu Zhang fought, Zhang Yan would suddenly make a fuss or be subdued by Liu Zhang, and he would be very passive! After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao asked: "
Since Zhang Yan is unfavorable to our army, let us first destroy the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans and then attack Bingzhou!"
"My lord is wise!" Shen Pei didn't like the villain Guo Tu at first. Seeing that Yuan Shao had adopted his opinion, he actually threw a provocative look at Guo Tu, which made Guo Tu gnash his teeth with hatred. However, Guo Tu and Shen Pei
One works for Yuan Tan and the other works for Yuan Shang. Now Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are competing for position, and the battle between the two is inevitable.
"My lord is wise..." Feng Ji shook his head secretly. He was very close to Shen Pei and even closer to Yuan Shang. In desperation, he could only cooperate with Shen Pei and become Guo Tu's enemy.
Although Yuan Shao was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, he could also see that Guo Tu and Shen Pei were fighting, but he did not stop him. The most important thing in the art of emperors is balance. In Yuan Shao's view, it is better for his advisers to fight than for both sides to be united.
A good team, this can avoid the loss of power. But Yuan Shao never thought that he was not an emperor, and he did not have the decisiveness of an emperor.
"Since Zhang Yan is to be dealt with, who do you think we should send?" Ignoring Guo Tu and Shen Pei's fight, Yuan Shao scanned the hall. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Han Meng, who had been dozing, all opened their eyes!
"The last general is willing to go!" Yuan Shao's four powerful generals, including Gao Lan, all stood up. Others, such as Lu Weihuang, Jiang Yiqu and others, all retracted their heads. Yan Liang and others were never unreasonable!
"It's just Zhang Yan, why do I need four powerful generals under my command!" Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you are outstanding in martial arts, you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife! Let Han Meng and Gao Lan go there!"
"Yes!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou were praised by Yuan Shao. They were embarrassed to argue anymore, so they returned to their seats, but there was still some unwillingness on their faces.
"Look at your potential!" Yuan Shao shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhang Yan is just a yellow scarf thief, let Han Meng and Gao Lan sort it out! When we turn back to attack Bingzhou, you will be the main force! When the time comes, we will meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
Wait, don’t embarrass me!”
"Yes!" Hearing the names of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's eyes turned cold, and their aura surged. It has always been a shame for them to be punished by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In order to avenge their shame, the two of them have been training three times in winter over the years.
Nine, I practiced martial arts for three days in the summer, and my martial arts skills have really improved a lot.
"Your courage is commendable!" Yuan Shao was very satisfied with the momentum of the two men. He praised a little, then turned around and ordered: "Everyone listens to the order: Han Meng is ordered to be the chief general, Gao Lan is the deputy, Shen Pei is the military advisor, and the soldiers are
Send to Heishan. Within three months, I don’t want to hear about the Black Mountain Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou again!”
"I obey my lord's order!" The person whose name was called by Yuan Shao immediately stood up and obeyed the order, but no one thought that Zhang Yan of Black Mountain was no ordinary character.
Zhang Yan's original surname was Chu. During the war, he was extremely brave and was nicknamed "Feiyan", so he was also called Chu Feiyan. Later, Zhang Yan rebelled with Zhang Niujiao and regarded him as his adoptive father, so he changed his surname to Zhang. Until Zhang Niujiao was unfortunately targeted.
After killing Zhang Yan, he was recommended by everyone as the commander-in-chief of Qu, and he gradually took control of the Black Mountain Army.
After taking control of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan did not follow the example of Han Zhong and Sun Xia in attacking cities and territories. Instead, he chose Black Mountain as a stronghold and let the old and weak soldiers of the army cultivate crops on the flat terrain in the mountains. Today's Black Mountain Yellow Turban Bandits cannot be counted.
Montenegro can also be self-sufficient, but life will be harder at most.
Hearing that Yuan Shao sent troops to attack, Zhang Yan said nothing and ordered the old, weak, women and children to go into the mountains. He took the young and strong to defend the danger! The terrain of Heishan was very dangerous, and Zhang Yan and others had been operating in Heishan for several years, so Han
Meng, although Gao Lan had the help of his companions, he still failed to attack Heishan. As time went by, Yuan Shao became a little dissatisfied.
"Mr. Shen, please come up with an idea. My lord's tone is becoming more and more severe!" Holding the letter in his hand, Gao Lan panicked. He thought that attacking Zhang Yan would be easy, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yan wouldn't fight with them at all.
Lurking in the mountains, making sneak attacks on the supply troops at every turn, making it difficult for people to guard against them!
"Boom!" Han Meng's fist hit the case, and he said angrily: "There is a rumor in Jizhou that Zhang Yan from Montenegro is so great! Now it seems that he is just a tortoise with his head shrunk, a mouse burrowing into the ground, he really doesn't look like a hero!
"
"Oh! This is how Zhang Yan's power can be shown!" Shen Pei is not a reckless person, he can naturally see Zhang Yan's power. But the more powerful Zhang Yan is, the more worried he becomes.
"It would be great if Zhang Yan could be used by the Lord!" A voice sounded in Shen Pei's heart, and the idea of subduing Zhang Yan was out of control!
"Mr. Shen?" After seeing Shen Pei sighing, he began to be in a daze. Gao Lan thought he had come up with a solution, so he called him gently in his ear.
"Huh?" Shen Pei came back to his senses and asked, "Do you think it would be a great help if Zhang Yan could surrender to the lord?"
"Surrender Zhang Yan? Mr. Shen, let alone Zhang Yan's ability, what will happen if he pretends to surrender?" Gao Lan was not as optimistic as Shen Pei.
Shen Pei smiled and said: "My lord is the lord of Jizhou. If Zhang Yan does not surrender, we will besiege Heishan. By then, the young and strong people on Heishan will still have a way to survive, but what about the old, weak, women and children? If we seduce Zhang Yan with food and grass, we will surely
He will not refuse. You know, there are at least 200,000 Yellow Turbans in Montenegro, and there are even more old, weak, women and children. Do you think Zhang Yan is willing to die with us?"
Gao Lan scratched his head and said, "I can't catch Zhang Yan anyway. Rather than being punished by my lord, it's better to fight. Mr. Shen, I listen to you!"
"I listen to you too!" Seeing that Gao Lan was persuaded by Shen Pei, Han Meng quickly agreed. If he couldn't deal with Zhang Yan, he would be in trouble. Knowing that Shen Pei and Gao Lan had better minds than him, Han Meng
The two of them looked at each other at the same time.
"So, let's contact Zhang Yan and try to convince the lord at the same time!" After Shen Pei discussed with Gao Lan and Han Meng, he wrote two letters, one to Yuan Shao and one to Feng Ji.
In Yecheng, Feng Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he read the letter sent by the trial matchmaker. How could he not know Zhang Yan's abilities? But Zhang Yan was from a humble background, so how could Yuan Shao take a fancy to her? Even if Zhang Yan surrendered, the treatment would be unimaginable.
You know, when the time comes, Zhang Yan surrenders and rebels again, it will not only be the fault of Shen Pei and the other three, but may also affect the fight between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan! But Feng Ji also knows that since Shen Pei wrote to him, it must be
He also wrote a letter to Yuan Shao. Sure enough, not long after, Yuan Shao sent someone to invite Feng Ji.
"Greetings to my lord!" Seeing that everyone was there, Feng Ji felt a little bitter in his mouth. He hoped that Yuan Shao was not looking for him for the purpose of judging the match. Unfortunately, God did not fulfill his wish!
"Yuan Tu! Do you know about Zhengnan?" Yuan Shao's face was expressionless, but Feng Ji's eyelids twitched.
Feng Ji bowed and asked: "May I ask my lord, isn't Zhengnan going to attack Zhang Yan in Black Mountain? What happened to him?"
"Jian Zhengnan's crusade against the Black Mountain Yellow Turban was unfavorable. In order to forgive his fault, he actually wanted his lord to recruit Zhang Yan! Feng Yuan Tu, you don't know this, right?" Guo Tu smiled grimly, but Feng Ji burst into laughter.
"Of course I know about this!" Feng Jixiao asked: "The master of Zhengnan wants to surrender Zhang Yan. What's wrong with that?"
"Shen Zhengnan obviously wanted to surrender Zhang Yan just to blame himself. Don't confuse right and wrong!" Guo Tu has been digging holes for Feng Ji, but Feng Ji didn't fall into the trap at all, so he became a little anxious. In this anxiety, Guo Tu
Tu Bian forgot Yuan Shao's character and made a big mistake, but Feng Ji and Shen Pei were able to escape.
